If the Warriors narrowly lost to the Mavericks, fans would still understand. After all, there is not much difference in strength between the two teams, and anyone could win.

But the Heat lost miserably to the Bulls by more than 20 points, which made the fans feel incredible.

They originally thought that G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals would be a game like sparks hitting the earth, but when they went in, they saw that it was Chang Wei beating Laifu, and the result was one-sided.

After G1 of the Eastern Conference finals, some people were happy and some were sad. The fans were both sad and happy.

The poor performance of the Heat's Big Three has made fans who support them feel deeply worried, fearing that the Heat will be swept out of the game.

The Bulls fans danced with joy and even shouted those five words: Bulls championship!

But Sun Yi knew that G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals was just a test between the two teams, and the Heat's three giants had not fully exerted their strength.

In the next game, James and Wade broke out, and the Bulls simply couldn't resist it.

By then, Bulls fans wouldn't even have time to cry.

This is what is called the higher the praise, the worse the fall.

Sun Yi did not pay too much attention to the news reports about the Eastern Conference Finals.

He is currently crossing the river and cannot save himself, but he has no intention of watching the excitement and is seriously preparing for the upcoming Western Conference Finals G2.

…

On May 21, the G2 game between the Warriors and Mavericks started again at the American Airlines Center.

In this game, the Warriors coaching staff switched to defense and sent out a starting lineup of Morrow, Tony Allen, Sun Yi, Battier, and Chandler.

The reason why the Warriors lost the last game was because they failed to limit the Mavericks' offense. So this game will increase the defensive intensity and strengthen physical confrontation from the beginning.

But the result was unsatisfactory, and the Warriors still couldn't guard against Dayao's singles.

In addition, Terry, the Mavericks' best sixth man, showed off his power in this game and performed at an All-Star level.

This guy scored 20 points in the first half, helping the Mavericks lead the Warriors by 5 points entering the second half.

The Warriors can still accept this result. After all, the point difference is not big. They can overcome the point difference with their efforts in the second half.

But the second half of the game once again went beyond the expectations of the Warriors coaching staff.

After the second half of the game started, Nowitzki, who had pretended to be dead in the first half, started to work hard again.

In the third quarter of the game, Nowitzki made 6 of 8 shots and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 17 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, single-handedly opening the point difference to double digits.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Mavericks immediately changed their style of play and replaced them with defensive heroes to compete defensively with the Warriors.

The Warriors are not afraid of competing defensively, after all, their defensive efficiency ranks among the top three in the league.

Obviously the Warriors are overthinking, and the Mavericks are not purely competing with them defensively.

The old guy Kidd kept pressing time to attack, consuming the remaining game time.

Moreover, when the score was about to catch up, the Mavericks replaced Nowitzki and Dayao to score points in singles to stabilize the situation on the court.

Such a rogue style of play made the Warriors players extremely crazy.

It was clear that there was only a small chance of a comeback, but in the end it failed.

It's as uncomfortable as when the progress bar is stuck at 99.9% when downloading a short movie.

Seeing that there is not much time left in the game, the Warriors can only bet on outside three-pointers.

However, the Mavericks were well prepared and defended the perimeter very well, and did not give the Warriors a chance to come back.

Relying on the advantages accumulated in the first three quarters, the Mavericks maintained their lead until the end.

In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Warriors 95-86, leading the total score 2-0.

After losing G2, most of the Warriors players were undoubtedly shaken in their self-confidence and looked frustrated.

Before the start of the Western Conference Finals, they thought they could tie the game 50-50 with the Mavericks, and if they were lucky, they could even touch the floor of the Finals.

But after playing two games, the Warriors players suddenly discovered that they couldn't beat the Mavericks at all, and were completely led by the opponent.

This is a complete suppression of strength!

Most of the Warriors players are extremely desperate and have no hope of winning.

Sun Yi felt the depressing atmosphere in the locker room and knew something was wrong.

If it is not resolved as soon as possible, then g3 will completely collapse.

Immediately, Sun Yi stood up, clapped his hands, and said: "Guys, didn't I just lose two games? This will knock you out of control. What's the difference between this and a coward? How special am I?

I look down on you!"

After hearing this, Chandler and others still lowered their heads, but held their hands tightly.

If they didn't have to support their family in Hukou and didn't want to lose their job, they would have definitely swarmed Sun Yi and beat him up.

Damn it! Who are you calling a softie?!

"It seems that you still know the feeling of shame. I feel very relieved. Then the next thing will be much easier to handle."

Sun Yi's tongue was dry and his mouth was dry. He picked up the water bottle and took a sip. He turned on the cheating mode and continued: "Don't forget that we still have two home courts. Don't you want to kick the butts of the guys on the other side?"

David Li and others all raised their heads and looked in Sun Yi's direction, obviously they were very interested in this topic.

"The coach has anticipated this situation and has made arrangements for the next game. I believe he will lead us to win."

Sun Yi couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so he could only let Nelson take the blame.

Nelson has a high prestige in the Warriors, and the Warriors players have no doubt about it.

Seeing his teammates cheering up again, Sun Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the immediate problem was solved, the big lie he told still had to be fulfilled.

If he fails to win the next game, not only will Nelson's prestige be affected, but Sun Yi will also be beaten up by his teammates.

"How should I explain to the coach next?" Sun Yi frowned, thinking about a solution.

…

After playing Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors rushed back to Oakland overnight.

After explaining some precautions, Nelson dismissed the team and then took the coaching team to the conference room to discuss tactics for the next game.

After saying goodbye to his teammates, Sun Yi left the arena on his bicycle.

After returning home, he turned on his computer, received the game video from the editor, and began to review the previous two games.

Sun Yi played well in these two games, averaging 28.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 2 steals and 2.5 blocks per game.

The other players on the Warriors also played very hard and performed at their normal level.

But it’s not enough to just perform normally, otherwise we wouldn’t have lost two games in a row.

If you want to defend your home court, you must have players who perform at a super level.

After reviewing the first two games, Sun Yi was thoughtful and took out his mobile phone to dial Nelson's number.

"Mr. Coach, let me tell you something frankly first, and then you can listen to some of my suggestions for the next game..."

After Sun Yi confessed, he told his suggestion and asked: "Coach, what do you think?"

"Sun, you're going to kill first and then show off! Can I still refuse to agree? I will definitely try your plan." Old Nelson smiled and agreed.

After all, the players performed very well, but there were problems with the plan formulated by the coaching staff, which led to the loss in the second game.

The Warriors coaching staff has already discussed the next game, but has really not found a way to restrain the Mavericks' style of play. The novel plan proposed by Sun Yi is worth a try.
Chapter completed!
