Chapter 484 The Crux of the Warriors
The pace of the Mavericks is fast, and the Warriors are not in a hurry. When these two teams meet together, the game between them really makes all the fans who watch it hooked!

"This is a game that makes people excited at any time. The core players of the two teams performed so perfectly!" Kenny Smith said with admiration as he watched the core players of both sides coming and going on the court.

"That's right, although I am also very optimistic about this game, after all, only when the Mavericks win the game, I will be in a particularly refreshing mood!" Bill Walton squinted his eyes slightly, watching the faint suppression of the opponent on the court. The Mavericks can't help but feel particularly good!
"Haha, it seems that this game is not just a war between the players, but also an alternative competition between the two of you!" Rick Barry looked at Kenny Smith and Bill Walton respectively. , said to them amusedly.

On the court, under Nash's extremely fast organization, the Mavericks gradually played the rhythm of their real 6-8 second offense that they failed to fully present in the first quarter!

"Tim, the team needs you!" Billups said to him very fast and very seriously after receiving a pass from Duncan.

Seeing Billups' serious face, Duncan raised his head and glanced at the Mavericks who had quickly returned to defense, his eyes suddenly flashed with determination!

Seeing Duncan nodded vigorously, Billups then ran forward slowly under his cover!
In order to avoid further falling into the rhythm of the Mavericks, after Billups brought the ball to the frontcourt, he did not run quickly within the half court like Nash, looking for opportunities to pass the ball!
He just steadily stopped at the top arc of the three-point line, carefully dodged Nash's steal, and watched his teammates' running positions with burning eyes!
"Hey, Tim, it looks like you guys are going to lose this game!" Jamison followed Duncan very confidently, watching his teammates actively defending, with a very confident look in his eyes!
"kindness!"

With a simple answer, Duncan ran directly to Billups!
During this season, because Wilkens combined the inside and outside more frequently, the cooperation between Billups and Duncan gradually became the Warriors' two-tower strategy. tactics!

Just like now, with Duncan quickly running to cover, Billups directly used his steady dribble and breakthrough, and instantly attracted Jamison's defense!

"Snapped!"

A simple pick-and-roll tactic made Duncan run directly to the left side of the penalty area and received a pass from Billups!

Seeing Nash looking at him cautiously, Duncan couldn't help but smile from the corner of his eyes!
"Don't think about it!!"

Suddenly seeing Duncan raising his hands, Nash let out a low growl, and very quickly stabbed at Duncan's hands holding the basketball tightly!
"Snapped!!"

"drop!!"

Bavita has long paid attention to the duel between Nash and Duncan. Although Nash's defense is not very optimistic, after all, the opponent's steals are also very eye-catching!
Of course, now that Duncan is stabbed, taking into account the factors of the Warriors' home court, Bavita took advantage of the situation and called a timeout!
"FK!! Dick, if this is considered a foul, why didn't B Bowen pull the jersey before it should be enforced!!"

Mark Cuban, who was sitting behind the rest area of ​​the Mavericks, saw Baveta directly called Nash's foul, he jumped up and roared angrily!

"Sit down, Mark!!" Nelson suddenly turned his head and said to Cuban in a serious voice. He didn't want the team's hard-won lead to be wiped out because of Cuban's affairs!

"Steve, you should keep calm!" Nelson waved and called Nash over. Although it was understandable for Nash to attack Duncan, after all, he fouled the opponent in the first quarter. This is obviously a bit too nervous!

"Donnie, if the situation just happened, I hope I can get help from my teammates!" Nash nodded with a wry smile. Thinking of the confrontation between himself and Duncan just now, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly!

Hearing Nash's request, Nelson looked at the other players on the court with indifferent expressions, feeling depressed for a while!
With the Mavericks' mature tactical structure, especially the fast and flexible small-ball tactics, although it has brought them a strong offensive power, Nelson can't help being in a difficult position from time to time due to the lack of attention on the defensive end and the bad attitude of the players on the defensive end. In headache!
After sending Nash away, Nelson glanced at the assistant coaches beside him who were assisting him, and he couldn't help showing a hint of disappointment in his eyes!
On the court, Duncan stumbled and only made one free throw under two free throws!
Since he was traded to the Warriors, although Duncan has improved his free throws with the help of Olajuwon and the team's assistant coaches, after all, he is not the one in his previous life who made stiff moves but had a very high shooting percentage. Duncan!
After making a free throw, the Warriors only recovered the five-point difference between the two teams by one point!

In the following first quarter, although the performance of the Warriors gradually recovered, after all, the Mavericks' offensive tactics that fit together like gears still suppressed them most of the time.

"drop!!"

When the first quarter ended after Duncan missed a shot in the middle, there was a voice of doubt in the Rockefeller Center!

"Bruce, with the current performance of the team, I really dare not say that we can win the final championship, or even advance to the finals!" West said to Bruce with a frown. The ups and downs of the Warriors' performance in these two games can't help worrying him!

"Jerry, although I don't understand some tactics and the use of players, but the feeling in this game seems to be as you said, the smoothness of the Mavericks and the stagnation of the Warriors?"

"That's right, it's stagnation!!" As an old man in the league, West, whether he was a player or a coach for a short period of time, made him feel very clearly how the Warriors gave him!
"In the last game, if it wasn't for Ben's strong eruption at the end, I'm afraid they would be the final winner!" West glanced at Nash and the others of the Mavericks who were listening intently to Nelson's tactics, and continued cautiously. : "Now the Warriors give me the feeling, although the appearance is very smooth, but with some ups and downs, this can't help but make me puzzled, doubts about Lenny and the players!"

"Huh? How to say??"

Not only Bruce looked at West very eagerly, even Chris Mullin and Nowitzki who were beside them looked at him expectantly!
"If we follow our performance in the first half of the regular season, we will undoubtedly become one of the strongest teams in the league this season, Tim, Ben, B Bowen, Chauncey, Gerrard (Wallace) , we have this lineup, I really don't understand why against a pure offensive team like the Mavericks, the performance is so struggling!"

"Is it a tacit understanding?" Nowitzki thought for a while secretly, and said something cautiously!
However, Mullin on the other side obviously didn't think so!
In the previous experience of trying to coach NBDL, Mullin has a deeper understanding of the trust between players and the execution of tactics!
Although the current Warriors team feels very strong, but every time they lead the opponent, they gradually catch up in the third quarter, or even the last quarter, or overtake the score!
After his observation, what the Warriors lack is not the talent of the players, but the connection of tactical conversion!

During this season, the Warriors' twin tower tactics once became their most threatening weapon.

However, as Wilkens gradually added double cooperation and some other small tactics, they gradually deviated from the previous smooth offense and defense!
"This is my analysis. If Lenny can properly reduce the use of these small tactics, I think our strength will be further released!!" Mullin said to the two very seriously, and then subconsciously told Will Look in the direction of Kens!
In the rest area of ​​the Warriors, Wilkens' expression is no longer indifferent, he is trying to think about the next game and some things that will happen in the Warriors!
Duncan and the others silently watched Wilkens, who was frowning and thinking. Although they didn't find anything wrong with the tactics, after all, they could only see some flaws after the real game!

"Well..."

Wilkens subconsciously stroked his chin with his right hand. He inadvertently saw the whispered conversation between Billups and Duncan. He didn't know what to think of, but a gleam of clarity suddenly flashed in his eyes!
"Clap clap clap!!"

When Wilkens started the game with 5 minutes to go, he clapped his hands seriously to the players. After attracting their attention, he said very solemnly: "After entering the playoffs, my mood has changed a lot. Big ups and downs and changes, I will explain this to you in detail later, but now, I hope you can fight back to our twin towers again, and abandon the excessive use of some other tactics, understand?"

Although Wilkens' arrangement made Billups and Duncan feel a little strange, but as a player with high professional quality, they chose unconditional trust!
"drop!!"

As the referee's whistle sounded, players from both sides returned to the court one after another!
"The Warriors have played so far, and their performance has been recognized by all of us, but they will struggle in every series, which makes us wonder what is going on with them!" Kenny Smith has gradually turned into a fan of the Warriors. Thinking of the game situation in the previous two series, he couldn't help frowning secretly.

"Actually, I already knew their crux!"

After Smith expressed his feelings doubtfully, Rick Barry, who was sitting next to him, said with a very firm expression. His words instantly aroused the curiosity and expectation of Bill Wharton and Tom Harmon!
