After the third quarter, the score became 105:105, and the two teams were tied!
The Warriors played 51:19, reversing 32 points in a single quarter!
Curry's super long three-pointer directly pushed the atmosphere of Oracle Arena to a climax!
"Curry, MVP!"
"Curry, MVP!"
More than 10,000 spectators cheered in unison, and Oracle Arena once again became a sea of joy!
Warriors fans have been holding it in for more than an hour!
Trailing by more than 30 points at halftime, even die-hard fans thought the game was hopeless!
Who would have thought that Curry would lead the team and tie the score in one game!
Cool!
This feels better than being ahead all the time!
Kidd got up from the ground, turned to look at the basket, and shook his head helplessly.
There is no way, there is no way to prevent it!
I know Curry is going to throw a three-pointer, but who would have thought that he would shoot after he passes the center circle!
The key is to get in!
How can one reason with this?
Kidd was helpless, while Curry was extremely excited.
After waiting for a whole time, I finally got this opportunity!
Curry went completely crazy in this quarter!
He hit 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, scored 12 points by breaking through to the basket, and scored 5 points by drawing fouls. Curry scored 35 points in a single quarter and also sent 6 assists!
Most of the Warriors' scoring is related to Curry!
Nowitzki played bravely in the first quarter and also scored a few points in the third quarter, adding up to a total of 29 points.
He scored 29 points in just over 20 minutes. Nowitzki's scoring efficiency is already very high!
But it’s far behind compared to Curry!
After three quarters, the score was even, and the two teams were back on the same starting line.
After half-time adaptation, the Warriors finally became familiar with the Mavericks' defense.
Zone defense?
I'll pick and roll you!
When there is an opportunity from the outside, he shoots decisively!
No matter if you pounce or not!
Even if you pounce on it, it’s still fake!
Knock me down if you can!
Marking?
Then I'll use off-the-ball movement to force a switch, and then I'll challenge you one-on-one!
Or just use the pick-and-roll!
The pick-and-roll that remains unchanged forever!
The most classic and basic tactics are also the most useful!
Unless you use three people to guard my pick-and-roll, you can't guard me!
The game started quickly in the fourth quarter, with both teams coming off the bench.
The Warriors' starters set an example, and the substitutes were not to be outdone.
The Warriors are Lowry, Azubuike, Laga Bell, Hayward, DeAndre Jordan, and the Mavericks are Barea, Jason Terry, Caron Butler, Peja Stojakovic, Qian
Dele five people.
Chandler didn't play much time in the third quarter, so Haywood didn't need to come up.
With Chandler in the penalty area, the Mavericks' defense is still much better.
The Mavericks still alternately use zone defense and man-to-man defense on the defensive end, but the Warriors' several substitutes have obviously adapted a lot this time.
Lowry and Jordan are resolute in pick-and-roll cooperation, let’s see what you do!
Although Lowry's three-pointers are not as good as Curry's, his breakthrough power is more lethal and the threat is not small at all!
Although the Mavericks have rich experience, the Warriors have physical advantages in every position!
Under Deng Fang's arrangement, the Warriors continued to break through, cause damage, and get to the free throw line to score points.
This is our home court!
Why should we use the home field advantage we have worked so hard for all season?
Deng Fang didn’t want the referee to give the Warriors any preferential treatment, that was basically impossible!
The Warriors are so powerful that they will destroy whoever they see. In order to prevent the game from losing suspense too early, the referees rarely give any preferential treatment to the Warriors.
Among other things, as the league's most popular superstar, Curry's shots are often violated, but few referees give Curry a whistle!
As long as you can't be beaten to death, that's no problem!
If you shoot so fast, the ball will be thrown out when someone hits you, so it's not a foul!
Deng Fang's request is very simple, as long as the referee makes fair decisions and does not favor the Mavericks!
After all, it’s our home court!
Lowry kept attacking the inside after taking off the ball alone, and Jordan also kept passing down alley-oop dunks!
As soon as the Mavericks shrink, Azubuike and others on the outside will have a chance!
Zone defense?
Sorry, we are playing pick-and-roll, not one-on-one!
Marking?
We'll still pick and roll, let's see what you do!
The Mavericks have a lot of firepower, and the Warriors are more aggressive offensively!
There is not much difference between the two teams on the offensive end. On the defensive end, except for the center, the Warriors have much better individual defense capabilities at every position!
The most important thing is that several members of the Warriors are younger and have better physical fitness!
The game lasted 5 minutes, and the Warriors slowly opened the point difference to 8 points.
Carlisle had to call a timeout.
After the timeout, both teams made substitutions.
The Mavericks are Kidd, Terry, DeShawn Stevenson, Marion, and Nowitzki.
Four guys who can throw three-pointers, plus Marion, a lubricant with strong mobility!
The Warriors replaced Curry, Lowry, Tucker, Prince, and Kirilenko.
Small lineup with two point guards!
If you play a small lineup, we are smaller than you!
Of course, the Warriors' lineup only has a small center position, and other positions are fine.
After resting for a few minutes, Nowitzki reappeared and found his touch. Facing Kirilenko's defense, he made repeated shots!
I'm just taller than you!
I am the Golden Rooster freestanding basketball player!
What can you do?
If you want to block the shot, ask my thighs first if they agree!
Nowitzki hit 4 consecutive mid-range shots, and the Mavericks' offense recovered.
But Curry on the Warriors also broke out!
You play in isolation, I'll pick and roll!
On the offensive end, Nowitzki takes the shot, and on the defensive end, the Warriors are also watching him!
Whoever Nowitzki is guarding will come up and pick-and-roll with Curry!
Kirilenko and Curry pick and roll and then go down!
What should Nowitzki do?
Pounce on Curry?
At Nowitzki's speed, if Curry steps aside, Nowitzki won't be able to catch up!
As long as Nowitzki is a little slower, Curry will take action!
A three-pointer, another three-pointer, and another super long three-pointer...
Nowitzki jumped fiercely, Curry passed the ball directly to Kirilenko, who received the ball and dunked!
Nowitzki made four mid-range shots, and the Warriors made three three-pointers and a dunk!
The Mavericks scored 8 points and the Warriors scored 11 points!
The score difference came to 11 points!
With 3 minutes left in the game, Carlisle had to call a timeout.
The Mavericks are running out of timeouts.
There is no way, if this continues, the game will be over!
After the timeout, the Mavericks began to double-team Curry.
The Warriors picked and rolled the Mavericks to flank Curry, and then Marion retreated to the penalty area to defend, not giving Kirilenko a chance to attack the penalty area.
I'll test your outside shooting!
Curry doesn’t have to think about throwing it away!
If you can, let Tucker and the others kill me!
Since Nowitzki's shooting percentage is very high, the Mavericks still let him play Kirilenko in isolation.
Mavericks thought well, but Deng Fang also made changes.
On the defensive end, since Nowitzki is hot, let's double attack!
You double-team Curry, and I will double-team Nowitzki!
All five of us on the field are pitchers!
You have a Marion who can't vote!
In addition, we are young, do not have a big center on the court, and can move much faster than you!
They all use a flanking attack, and our defense is much faster than yours!
The Mavericks double-teamed Curry, and the Warriors double-checked Nowitzki. The game quickly turned into a competition for outside shooters.
Kidd threw a three-pointer, and Prince turned around and made one from outside the three-point line.
Marion was wide open and unguarded and was forced to take a three-pointer. Looking back, Kirilenko received the same treatment!
Both teams are shooting from the outside, but the intensity of the defense they face is different.
The Mavericks have Nowitzki and Kidd, so they move slowly and are always one step slower in defense.
Several players on the Warriors court are very fast and their physical condition is much better than that of the Mavericks!
Except for Marion's three-point shot from outside the three-point line, no one cares about it. Everyone else on the Mavericks' three-point shot is defended.
The game played very quickly, with the two teams shooting a total of 8 three-pointers in just over two minutes!
The Mavericks shot 1-for-4, while the Warriors shot 2-for-4!
The point difference actually widened by 3 points!
With 48 seconds left in the game, the score became 142:128!
The game has lost its suspense.
Carlisle waved his flag off the court, Kidd intentionally fouled, and the Warriors made a free throw. The Mavericks took the opportunity to replace the main player and surrendered!
The final game was settled at 144:128!
The Warriors won by 16 points and won their first victory in the series!
Oracle Arena has long become a sea of joy!
A comeback win at home is even more exciting than the whole game of abuse!
The Mavericks were defeated in one quarter of the game, and the third quarter was completely Curry's personal show!
The competition is pleasing to the eye and makes people feel refreshed and happy to watch!
After the whole game, Curry made 9 three-pointers, scored 48 points, sent out 11 assists, picked up 8 rebounds, and had 3 steals!
Nowitzki also performed very well, scoring 37 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 assists in the game.
Although they won the game in the end, it was not an easy game for the Warriors.
The Mavericks used zone defense very well, and mixed it with man-to-man coverage, which made the Warriors very uncomfortable.
It is precisely for this reason that the Warriors fell behind by 32 points in the first half.
Fortunately, after half-time adaptation, the Warriors players adjusted. At the same time, Deng Fang also made changes and resolutely started the pick-and-roll, releasing Curry's offensive firepower.
As soon as Curry opens, the game is over!
No matter how many points you are behind, it’s only one game period!
Deng Fang is very confident in this matter!
Especially in the third quarter!
Winning this game finally relieved Deng Fang's hanging heart.
As long as the Mavericks' zone defense loses its power, there will be no suspense in the series.
…
At the same time, the first game between the Bulls and the Hawks also ended.
This game was played at the Bulls' home court, but the Hawks ultimately won.
The Eagles' defensive strategy throughout the game was simple and crude, just let Rose shoot!
What is Rose's biggest threat? Breakthrough!
What is Rose's weakness? It's his inaccurate shooting, especially his lack of three-pointers!
Then let you shoot!
The defensive player takes two steps back and throws whatever you want!
Throw it in and I’ll recognize it!
Ross is also a man, if you let me vote, I will vote!
Throughout the game, Rose took 27 shots and only made 11, made 2 of 7 three-pointers, did not get a free throw, assisted 10 times, and made 3 turnovers, and only scored 24 points.
Although 24 points is not too few, Rose used up 27 shooting opportunities!
If Rose can't stand up, he loses his threat.
On the offensive end, Joe Johnson of the Eagles played very well, making 12 of 18 shots and all 5 three-pointers, scoring a game-high 34 points.
In addition, Jamal Crawford on the bench also performed very well, scoring the team's second-highest 22 points.
In the end, the Eagles won the game 103:95 on the road.
Through this game, we can find that a player's weaknesses will be infinitely magnified by his opponents in the playoffs.
For a defender, the biggest weakness is that he can't shoot!
…
On May 2, the other two games were also played.
The Heat, second in the Eastern Conference, defeated the Celtics, third in the Eastern Conference, 99:90 at home.
The Heat did a very good job on the defensive end throughout the game and did not give Rondo many opportunities to perform. Rondo assisted 7 times in the game, but made 5 turnovers and only scored 8 points.
The Celtics' best performer was Ray Allen, who made 5 of 8 three-pointers and scored the Celtics' highest score of 25 points.
The Celtics' Garnett and the Heat's Bosh struggled throughout the game. In the end, the two matched up, with one scoring 6 points and the other scoring 7 points.
The Heat's best performer was Wade, who made 14 of 21 shots and 2 of 5 three-pointers, scoring a game-high 38 points.
James also took a lot of shots, but his efficiency was much lower than Wade. He made 8 of 19 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 9 free throws, scoring 22 points.
A major contributor to the Heat's victory was James Jones on the bench. He made 5 of 7 three-pointers and 10 of 10 free throws, scoring the team's second-highest 25 points. His efficiency was quite astonishing.
The Heat had an advantage in free throws throughout the game. They took 32 free throws and made 26 of them, while the Celtics only took 18 and made 14 of them.
In free throws alone, the Heat scored 12 points more than the Celtics.
The Big Three of the Heat are truly unparalleled in taking advantage of their home court!
…
In another game, the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers on the road, which once again impressed people.
Throughout the game, the Grizzlies still dug inside, and the Black and White Bears' advantage in the penalty area was infinitely magnified.
Originally, the Lakers were not weak inside, and the twin towers composed of Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum were very strong.
However, Bynum's condition has declined very seriously in the past two years, and Bynum's performance in today's game was also quite bad. He was pinned to the ground and rubbed by Randolph throughout the game.
The inside line was lost, and the Lakers' outside attack was also blocked by the Grizzlies.
The two big locks, Tony Allen and Battier, took turns to restrict Kobe.
With Gasol on the inside and Tony Allen and Battier on the outside, it would be very difficult for Kobe to break through.
Coupled with his average touch, Kobe only scored 15 points in the entire game.
Although Kobe is great, he is old after all, and the Grizzlies' defense is really good, so Kobe can't make a comeback.
Both inside and outside are lost, and the results can be imagined.
In the end, the Lakers lost the game 68:75 at home.
This game is completely opposite to the Warriors and Mavericks games!
The Warriors scored more points than the Grizzlies and Lakers combined!
