Although Nowitzki and Curry are both firing on all cylinders, Curry's firepower is obviously even stronger!
After all, Nowitzki is an inside player. His offense requires certain tactics and he needs to be fed the ball from the outside!
No matter how comprehensive Nowitzki's offensive skills are, at least he has to wait until he is in a good position in the low post and his teammates can open up the space before Kidd can pass the ball in.
Let Nowitzki dribble outside the three-point line and beat Kirilenko one-on-one?
That's a dream!
With Kirilenko's agility and speed, it would be enough not to mention killing each one!
Nowitzki needs the cooperation of his teammates, but Curry doesn't need it!
As long as his teammates open up the space, and as long as the feeling comes, Curry can take action anytime he wants!
A forced shot against the defender from beyond the three-point line?
Can!
After the pick-and-roll, do you use a double-attack to make a shot that is not in place?
Well enough!
Baifo shook the defender and drove to the basket to score?
Extremely easy!
A one-stop fast break three-pointer with dribbling in the backcourt?
No problem!
The comparison between Curry and Nowitzki fully illustrates one point, that is, guards have greater autonomy on the offensive end!
The scoring ability is very strong, but the defender is more powerful!
Nowitzki has a good touch and a high mid-range shooting percentage.
But Curry’s scoring power is even more explosive!
With 6 minutes left, Nowitzki made 6 of 8 shots and scored 15 points, which was quite efficient.
But in the same time, Curry on the opposite side scored 4 three-pointers and scored 3 under the basket, one of which was two plus one!
19 points, plus 3 assists!
The score difference quickly widened to 20 points!
After the third quarter, the score became 103:83!
With 83 points in three quarters, the Mavericks have scored a lot.
But compared with the Warriors, the Mavericks' scoring is not enough!
Trailing by 20 points in the third quarter, even though it was at the Mavericks' home court, there was not much hope of a comeback.
The Mavericks' home court was lifeless and silent.
The game started quickly in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors came on the bench: Lowry, Azubuike, Hayward, Tucker, and DeAndre Jordan.
Death Defense is back!
The Mavericks did not use all the substitutes this time. Barea, Terry, Peja, Nowitzki, and Chandler came on the field.
The Mavericks are going to have to fight to the death.
Terry kept running pick-and-rolls with Nowitzki, trying to play mismatched singles.
However, several players on the Warriors' defense are very good. Even if Lowry switches defense in front of Nowitzki, he can resist it!
With Terry, Peja and others on the court, the Mavericks' offense is indeed good, but their defense also has big problems.
Lowry and DeAndre Jordan's pick-and-roll was very powerful, and it was difficult for the Mavericks to deal with it.
Both teams increased their points quickly.
The game lasted 5 minutes in the fourth quarter, and the point difference was only narrowed by 3 points!
Carlisle called the final timeout.
After the timeout, the Mavericks made another substitution, with Kidd, Stevenson, Caron Butler, Marion and Nowitzki coming on the scene.
This lineup has great offensive firepower and is not bad defensively.
The Warriors also have the strongest lineup: Curry, Lowry, Prince, Tucker, Kirilenko!
It’s also a lineup that’s both offensive and defensive!
The lower limits of these two lineups are very high. As for the upper limit, it depends on Nowitzki and Curry!
This is self-evident!
King Nowitzki is indeed powerful, but Curry is even more unstoppable!
The only pity is that King Nuo is not a defender!
With Nowitzki's all-around skills, if he were a defender, he would probably be not much worse than Curry!
But there are no ifs in the real world!
Nowitzki used all his energy and attacked with all his strength.
The same goes for Curry. As long as the Mavericks are not in the backcourt, he double-teams them? He will resolutely fight one by one!
Start double-teaming in the backcourt?
Then I will move without the ball!
Even just moving without the ball? Curry can tear apart the Mavericks' defense and create scoring opportunities for his teammates!
This is the gravity of library!
Nowitzki scores a lot, but the Warriors have more firepower!
The score difference widened to more than 20 points again!
Soon? With 2 minutes left in the game, the score became 132:111.
The game has completely lost its suspense.
Deng Fang called a timeout? He replaced the starting player and came on as a substitute.
Carlisle also changed the starting lineup very wisely.
In the end, the score was fixed at 139:118!
Warriors win by 21 points!
The big score in the series between the two teams has also become 3:0? The Warriors are in sight of advancing!
After the entire game, Nowitzki played brilliantly and scored 41 points, 3 assists, and 11 rebounds.
Curry performed even better? He scored 10 three-pointers, scored 43 points, and also sent out 21 assists, 10 rebounds, and 5 steals!
All-round transcendence!
Extra large triple pair!
After the game, Curry once again made the headlines of major media:
Curry led the team to win the game with soaring points, and the Warriors beat the Mavericks to advance!
Ku Ritian is unstoppable, and a super triple-double in the playoffs shocked the world!
Who can stop Curry has become the biggest suspense, the Warriors have booked the championship in advance!
…
At the same time, another game in the Eastern Conference was also finished.
The Bulls relied on Rose's heroic performance to win a city on the road!
The Hawks' strategy remains the same, which is to let Rose shoot.
Although the shooting was not good, Rose took 27 shots and made 16 of them. He made 4 of 7 three-pointers and scored 44 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds!
If you let me vote, I will vote!
Who is afraid of whom!
I have to say that Ross is a ruthless person who is not afraid of challenges no matter what the situation!
This is the style of a superstar!
In addition to Rose's outstanding performance, the Bulls' outside players also performed well, making 10 of 20 three-pointers in the game, with a shooting rate of 50%!
Back at home, the Hawks no longer suffered at the buzzer and got 7 more free throws. However, their outside performance was quite poor. They made 1 of 6 shots from the field and were completely restricted by the Bulls.
Another difference is the rebounding gap. The Bulls grabbed 47 rebounds in the game, while the Eagles only got 34!
In terms of frontcourt boards alone, the Bulls grabbed 9 more than the Hawks!
This alone gave the Bulls 9 more shooting opportunities!
So it's not surprising that the Bulls won.
In the end, the Bulls won the away game 99:82, and the series score became 2:1.
…
On May 6, the other two games were also played.
The Celtics returned home and finally won a victory.
Garnett played bravely in this game, making 13 of 20 shots from the field, scoring a team-high 28 points and grabbing 18 rebounds.
Pierce also performed very well, making 5 of 7 three-pointers and scoring the second-highest 27 points.
The Heat's best performer was Wade, who made 8 of 19 shots and scored 23 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds.
James was very sluggish, shooting 6 of 16 from the field and 0 of 3 three-pointers. He only scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 turnovers.
The only thing that stands out about James is his 5 blocks.
In this game, the Heat's perimeter was completely blocked. They made 5 of 23 shots from the field, with a shooting percentage of only 21.7%!
The Celtics' three-pointers are as high as 50%!
In the end, the Celtics won the game 97:81.
The big score in the series also became 2:1, with the Heat leading.
…
There was still no suspense in the game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies returned home and were even more brutal. They got 34 free throws in the game, firmly pinning the Lakers in the penalty area.
As long as the position is sharpened and the pace is slow, the Grizzlies are not afraid of anyone!
In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers 101:72. The series score became 3:0, and the Grizzlies were expected to advance.
…
On May 7, 2011, the fourth game between the Warriors and the Mavericks officially started at the American Airlines Center.
Behind with a big score of 0:3, there is no hope for the Mavericks in this series.
Now their only thought is not to lose too badly, but to win the next game at home.
Deng Fang didn't care about this.
If you have the ability, use it. I won't bully others on purpose.
Since the big score became 3:0, there was no suspense in the series, so the league did not do what he thought. The referee's whistle was fair.
A series without suspense won't attract much attention.
In this case, it's not worth blowing the whistle.
Although making money is good, food appearance is also very important!
The referee is very fair, he will call everything that should be called, and he will not call anything that should not be called!
The Mavericks completely gave up zone defense in this game and used man-to-man defense throughout the game.
The starting lineup has also been changed. Kidd, Terry, Caron Butler, Marion, and Nowitzki formed the strongest offensive lineup.
It’s okay to lose, but the game must be exciting!
The Warriors' starting lineup remained unchanged, but after 3 minutes, Deng Fang replaced Lopez and Laga Bell, replacing Tucker and Hayward.
Curry, Prince, Tucker, Hayward, Kirilenko!
Four strong forwards, four big locks, four players who can shoot three-pointers!
Add another Ku Ritian!
The two teams started an offensive battle.
The game was very exciting.
Nowitzki was on full fire, making three-pointers one after another.
Jets Terry also had a hot touch, throwing three-pointers one after another!
But the Warriors didn't give in too much. Curry entered the attack mode as soon as the game started, making breakthroughs, three-pointers, and assists one after another!
The two teams took the lead alternately.
After the first quarter, the score became 45:44, and the Mavericks were one point behind!
In the second quarter, Barea, Stevenson and Peja replaced Kidd, Caron Butler and Marion, and formed a lineup with Nowitzki and Terry with stronger three-point firepower.
The Mavericks have completely given up on defense and are determined to compete offensively with the Warriors.
The Warriors are not afraid of attacking!
Deng Fang sent a combination of Lowry, Belinelli, Azubuike, Laga Bell and Lopez.
The Warriors are also an offensive lineup!
Both teams are trying their best to attack, but the Warriors' individual defense ability is much better than the Mavericks!
Lowry, Azubuike, and Laga Bell all have advantages in matchups.
Even Lopez can wear down Nowitzki in the low post through singles.
Your vote is accurate, and so are ours!
Our defense is not bad, how about you?
More importantly, the Warriors are much younger than the Mavericks!
Although Lagaber is in his thirties, he only played 3 minutes in the first quarter and had sufficient physical fitness without any problems.
Nowitzki played an entire quarter!
After a while, the Warriors opened up a gap in the score.
After a few more minutes, the score difference came to 8 points!
Finally, at the end of the second quarter, the score difference reached 15 points!
The Mavericks can't hold on anymore!
After the intermission, the second half of the game started.
Curry hit three consecutive three-pointers as soon as the game started in the third quarter!
Curry broke out as soon as the third quarter came. Even Curry didn't know why!
Three three-pointers also directly knocked down the Mavericks' momentum.
Behind with a big score of 0:3, we were already 15 points behind. Now Curry steps up again. Is it necessary to continue the game?
The score difference has reached 20 points!
What the lagging team fears most is Curry’s unreasonable three-pointers!
Although they are all scores, Curry's three-pointer is even more disappointing!
Everyone is taking open shots, but you dribble and throw around!
You may not be able to get in even if there is a big open space, but you can get in even if you are facing people's throws!
Is this justified?
Are we still in the same basketball world?
We are all from Earth, why do you have super powers?!
Why should I fight with non-human beings?
Is there any difference between 4:1 and 4:0?
Wouldn’t it be nice for him to go back fishing early?
Curry's three three-pointers demoralized the Mavericks players, and both the offensive and defensive ends were slowed down.
The Warriors took the opportunity to launch several fast-break counterattacks.
The score difference quickly reached more than 30 points!
The game also completely lost its suspense.
Nowitzki persisted on the court for a few minutes, but finally had no choice but to apply for a foul and took the initiative to take a rest.
More than half of the audience at the American Airlines Center Arena was gone.
Deng Fang felt that it was almost done, so he called a timeout.
After the timeout, both teams replaced substitutes.
The playing on the court was very fast, and the game was over in a short time.
The final score was fixed at 121:93!
Warriors win by 28 points!
Swept the Mavericks 4:0!
Deng Fang on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief:
The biggest obstacle to the playoffs has been eliminated!
There is no threat from behind!
Although he swept the Mavericks 4:0, Deng Fang knew how powerful the Mavericks were!
Historically, the Mavericks have the last laugh this season!
This Mavericks team is very difficult to handle!
Zone defense, man-to-man zone defense, one-to-four zone defense, the Mavericks' defensive style is very different from other teams.
If there is a little hesitation on the offensive end, if Curry has a hint of stage fright, the Mavericks will seize the loophole and bite you hard!
Deng Fang is very confident when playing against other teams. The Warriors' three-pointers are definitely better than their opponents!
The Mavericks are the only team that Deng Fang dare not say that!
The Mavericks have a good offense, a lot of players who can play, no shortage of pitchers, and a reliable leader.
In terms of shortcomings, the biggest problem for the Mavericks is that Nowitzki is not a defender!
He can't start an offense with the ball by himself!
Nowitzki must have the cooperation of his teammates and certain tactics. His unlimited firing power is not truly unlimited!
Curry doesn’t have these problems!
In addition, the Mavericks, like other opponents of the Warriors, have a common problem, that is, they cannot defend what they can attack, and they cannot attack what they can defend!
Terry and Peja are the Mavericks' most accurate players, but their defense is terrible.
Marion and Chandler are the defensive core of the Mavericks. The absence of either of them will have a great impact on the Mavericks' defense. However, they will compress the Mavericks' offensive space on the court and allow the Warriors to boldly double-team Norvis.
