Chapter 220 Nine

January is coming to an end, the Warriors have played at home for most of the month, and now they have only the last two away games, these two opponents are not easy to deal with, they are the Dallas Mavericks and the New Orleans Hornets ( Read the full text of Legendary Taoism in Different Worlds).

After the game against the Clippers, the Warriors took a three-day break before reappearing in the arena at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

This season, the two teams need to play against each other three times, and this is only the first time they have played against each other. The two teams have never met before.Speaking of the Warriors and Mavericks, everyone's first reaction is the black eight of the year before last. The Mavericks, the Western Conference champions in the 06 season, made great strides all the way after entering the 07 season, and finally won the first record in the regular season (the latest chapter of the Gossip God of Goshen).

From the fans to the players, from the coach to the owner, the Mavericks are full of ambitions. They all think that this will be a year of success, re-entering the finals or winning the O'Brien Cup.

But it was such a team of Mavericks who was blacked out by the Warriors in the first round. Old Nelson led his gang to deal a head-on blow to his old club, and this blow also made it hard for the Mavericks to return for the past two seasons. The pinnacle of those two years.

Now, this pair of enemies is finally going to get together again. Although the Warriors have changed a lot of people, the Mavericks still can't let go. When they came to the American Airlines Center arena, the Warriors got the strongest boos.

"Hey, Stephen, did you see the murderous look in those people's eyes? Dude, you guys really did a great job that year." Yang Shuai smiled and said to Jackson. Now that he came to the Warriors, Yang Shuai of course also understood that Years of their glorious history.

Jackson shrugged, and then said indifferently: "I'm used to it. Those guys can only watch from the sidelines. If they rush in to play, I'll be happier."

"Well, Stephen, this is called staring at us in China!"

"Staring? Hey, Yang, your Chinese words are really interesting." Jackson and Yang Shuai looked at each other and smiled, then walked side by side into the field.

Warriors' starting lineup is still not adjusted, center Biedrinsi, power forward Landry, small forward Yang Shuai, shooting guard Jackson, point guard Hinrich.Monta Ellis, despite his outstanding performance in both games, will still come off the bench in this game.

On the side of the Mavericks, the center is Eric Dampier, the self-proclaimed "No. Guard Antawn Wright, point guard Jason Kidd.Of course, I have to mention their sixth man, "Jets" Jason Terry.

The biggest threat to the Mavericks is of course Dirk Nowitzki, so in this game, Landry's task will be heavier, especially because his height is too disadvantageous in front of Dirk Nowitzki (the latest chapter of The Rise of the Wolves).

There is no doubt about the jump ball. The old Dampier is not Biedrins' opponent at all. Dampier is not as good as before.What's more, even in his peak period, his abilities were no more than that.

Hinrich was stopped by Kidd when he dribbled the ball to the half court. Although he was getting older and running slower and slower, Kidd was still one of the point guards who could not be ignored. His passing skills and defensive skills can bring great help to the team, which is why the Mavericks dug him up.

Seeing that he had no chance, Hinrich immediately passed the ball to Yang Shuai. The Warriors' offense could not stop.With the ball in hand, Yang Shuai quickly broke through after a slight shake.

Josh Howard, who Yang Shuai is playing against today, is also a very capable figure on both offense and defense. When Yang Shuai started to break through, Howard was immediately stuck in the forward route of Yang Shuai's breakthrough.

Yang Shuai's breakthrough has been honed during this period of time, and he has already made great progress. Although Howard stopped him at the first time, he did not directly stop Yang Shuai.Turning the ball around his back, Yang Shuai changed direction rapidly, and before Howard adjusted his steps, Yang Shuai had already rushed over.

accelerate!Yang Shuai didn't let Howard stick to him, but accelerated to the basket again. Dampier was indeed going to the basket, but his pace was half a beat slower.With a light flick of the right hand holding the ball, the ball flew out of Yang Shuai's hand and fell into the basket.

The Mavericks' offensive speed is also very fast. Kidd quickly dribbled the ball to half court and immediately handed the ball to Nowitzki in the middle distance.

After taking the ball, he turned around and faced the basket. Nowitzki stared at the basket for a while, and then kept making fake moves while holding the ball. Nowitzki’s shooting is good, and his breakthrough is also good. , Landry had to deal with it carefully.

At this time, Nowitzki suddenly dialed up a jumper shot, a signature slightly backward shot, the ball flew out of Nowitzki's hands, and Landry couldn't even take off.

"Shua (the latest chapter of Anti-Japanese Coquettish)!" The ball went over Landry's head and fell directly into the basket.

Biedrins picked up the ball at the basket and quickly pushed it towards Hinrich. In 3 seconds, the Warriors' ball had come to half court, and after falling into Yang Shuai's hands, Yang Shuai chose to break through again.

Yang Shuai, who was rushing, flicked the ball and handed it to Stephen Jackson on the other side.After Jackson received the ball, he made an emergency stop and threw Antoine Wright away, and quickly jumped up and shot.

"Touch!" Jackson did avoid Wright, but the ball bounced out of the basket. Biedrins wanted to grab an offensive rebound, but the Mavericks players didn't give him this chance. Howard grabbed the backcourt rebound, and then Handed over to Kidd's hands.

The Mavericks' pushing speed this time can be compared with that of the Warriors, but after entering halftime, they have stabilized their rhythm.Kidd and Nowitzki picked and rolled, and the ball was distributed to Nowitzki. When Yang Shuai rushed to double-team Nowitzki, the ball was transferred to Howard by the German.

Yang Shuai quickly returned to the defense, but did not stop Howard's shot. The ball hit the inside of the basket and fell into the basket.

Jackson's miss on the last ball may have been an accident, but when he received Hinrich's ball again and still missed, it was obviously not as simple as an accident.

Jackson failed to score two consecutive goals, and the Warriors' offensive power returned to Yang Shuai. After signaling Landry to step forward to pick and roll, Yang Shuai directly broke through and hit the inside line, making a mid-range jump shot. This is Yang Shuai's specialty, but This time the ball didn't go into the hoop as he'd hoped but bounced out.

At 2:10, after 4 minutes in the first quarter, the point difference between the two teams has reached 8 points, and they only scored 4 points in 2 minutes. Such a warrior is obviously abnormal, and the old Nelson called a timeout.

After pointing out that the team has relied too much on shooting during this period, Nelson Sr. emphasized the need to strengthen breakthroughs in the next time.And back on the court, the Warriors players did do the same, but obviously this did not achieve the effect that Nelson expected.

It's not that the Warriors can't score through a breakthrough. The Warriors did score, but the point difference has not narrowed, but is slowly widening (the latest chapter of the game Aboriginal Counterattack).

Realizing that the Warriors did not feel good during this period of shooting, the Mavericks consciously strengthened their defense against the basket. Under such circumstances, it was not easy for the Warriors to score.

On the other hand, the Mavericks, under the tandem of Kidd, the old monster, the team's offense is extremely smooth. Whether it is Nowitzki or Howard, including Terry who was replaced later, the shooting touch is amazing. Under the circumstances, the Mavericks combined inside and outside to bloom more points, and scored 34 points in the first quarter.

As for the Warriors, although their offense recovered somewhat later, they were limited by their shooting touch and only scored 23 points in the first quarter.

Ellis was replaced at the end of the first quarter, but it didn't solve the Warriors' problem, as if it was contagious. Ellis' hand feeling today was also bad.

Throughout the first quarter, the most normal player in the Warriors team was Landry. Landry scored 10 points through pick-and-rolls, mid-range shots, or breakthroughs. Without his performance, the difference between the two teams might have been even greater. .

Entering the second quarter, the old Nelson replaced Jackson and Yang Shuai, leaving only Landry as the main player on the court, and then Ellis led the team to fight on the court.As several main players of the Mavericks left the field one after another, their defensive strength has declined, and it did allow the Warriors to find some opportunities, but their scoring is still more close to the basket, and their scoring in the middle and long distances is still not ideal.

Belinelli, Morrow, Watson, the Warriors have several shooting substitute players, but none of them played out in this game. Although the Mavericks' substitute strength is not as good as the main players, the Warriors still failed to close the score.

After a timeout, Old Nelson put Yang Shuai and Hinrich back on the court. As soon as he played, Yang Shuai hit a three-pointer, which made Old Nelson shine.

I thought it was the recovery of Yang Shuai's touch, but Yang Shuai's shooting fell silent again, while the Mavericks' players continued to maintain an excellent touch, and the point difference was still slowly expanding.

There is not much time left in the second quarter. At 43:63, the difference between the two teams has reached 20 points. The fans of the Mavericks are shouting excitedly, while the fans of the Warriors in front of the screen are mostly silent. Read the full text of Taoism in the Realm).

There were more than ten seconds before the end of halftime. After Xinli rushed to the frontcourt with the ball, he didn't hand it directly to anyone. The touch of the main players was very average. He didn't have a good choice. Come!

Keeping his eyes on the running positions of his teammates at all times, Hinrich began to slowly move his feet towards the three-point line, and then stopped when his toes were ten centimeters away from the three-point line.

Yang Shuai had already come out from the corner to catch the ball, and Hinrich did make a fake pass, but he didn't pass the ball.

When his teammates didn't pass the ball, Yang Shuai immediately stopped and ran back, and rushed to the other side. Most of the Mavericks' players focused on Yang Shuai who was running, and Hinrich's eyes were also on him.

Just when Yang Shuai rushed out of the three-point line, Hinrich turned his gaze back, and then jumped up in front of Kidd and shot!

"Huh?" Hinrich's shot obviously exceeded most people's expectations, whether it was a Mavericks player or a Warriors player.

"Shua!" To the surprise of more people, the ball passed through the net accurately and made a hollow hit.

"Hinrich hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, but the Warriors are still 17 points behind. This is a huge hole. Can the Warriors fill it up in the second half? See you in the second half!" the commentator Zhenli of Silver Sports Network said. Finally, when the fans in front of the screen could no longer see him, he shook his head. Judging from the Warriors' touch today, it will not be easy to chase points in the second half.

The downturn of all Warriors players can also be epitomized by Yang Shuai. In the first half, Yang Shuai played 19 minutes, but only scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, and no assists. Such data is extremely stable for recent performance It is indeed not very normal for him to come.

With a big difference of 17 points, the expressions of all the Warriors players after entering the locker room are obviously not relaxed, and the old Nelson is no exception.
