Chapter 279 Overtime
After playing two rounds, Mavericks fans suddenly discovered that the offense that the Mavericks are famous for doesn't seem to work well on the Warriors.

Yang Di's replacement has become a nightmare for the Mavericks' outside sharp-edged breakthrough players. Every timely supplementary defense, even if it does not form a block, still greatly interferes and compresses the offensive space of the breakthrough players, thereby reducing their efficiency.

Including Terry, Harris and others.

As for the outside shooting, Baron Davis and others deliberately expanded their defense. This is also the defensive tactic Montgomery ordered before the game.

The Warriors immediately took the lead, leading the Mavericks by 31 points 26 to 5 in the first quarter.

This also relies on the strong frame protection ability of Yang Di and Foyer. If Murphy is replaced, although the offense is better, the defense will definitely not be so extreme.

Yang Di went off to rest, and the two veterans defending Yang Di, Bradley and Van Horn, let out a sigh of relief at the same time, as if they had unloaded a heavy burden.

Yang Di is really hard to guard against!

Yang Di's strength far exceeds that of ordinary insiders, and he also has terrifying jumping ability and super strong awareness of positioning. Even if he stands still in the inside, he can still make people uncomfortable.What's more, Yang Di has outstanding flexibility and a strong deterrent on the defensive end. In the first quarter of the game, he has contributed three blocks, which puts a lot of pressure on the two of them who are responsible for rough tasks such as blocking and rebounding.

"7 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks," Yang Di silently calculated his statistics in a single quarter, feeling that after the whole game, he could get a triple-double.

He just thought about it, but the game on the court was not optimistic.

The Mavericks' substitute players, tactical execution and personal abilities are significantly better than the Warriors, including Alan Henderson, a well-known bench player in the league.

The Warriors' lead was eroded, and Montgomery called a timeout.

After the timeout ended, Montgomery replaced Richardson on the field, allowing Fisher and Richardson to continue their combination in the backcourt, thereby stabilizing the situation in one fell swoop.

"These two cooperate very well." Baron Davis put on his long-sleeved jacket and chatted with Yang Di.

"It's not bad. Derek's style of play is steady, his defense is excellent, and he has rich experience in the No. 1 position." Yang Di praised Fisher, after all, he was also the best teammate in the first half of the season.

"Dirk Nowitzki hasn't shot yet. He has shot at this point. The game will be difficult." Davis and Yang Di said, scanning the court with eagle-like sharp eyes, looking for the Mavericks Formation loopholes.

Baron Davis' attitude is excellent. At least the new Warriors are thinking about how to help the Warriors improve to a higher level.

It's just that because of the painful period of running-in and the arrangement of the game schedule, the Warriors' record has declined somewhat.

Neither of them spoke, waiting for their teammates to play.

At 7 minutes and 19 seconds of the second quarter, Montgomery first replaced Yang Di and replaced Zach Kabakapa. After trading a few insiders, the Warriors were a bit understaffed inside. Opportunities for fringe players like Biedrins.

At 5 minutes and 41 seconds, Montgomery replaced Baron Davis and Fisher.

There is no problem with substitutions. After Baron Davis came on the court, he strengthened his personal offense. The Mavericks struggled to defend Davis from the outside and quickly lost a lot of points. Before the end of the halftime, the Warriors led the Mavericks 57 to 53 4 points.

During the intermission, the Warriors' home court used mascots to interact with fans.

In the "Midfield Shooting Challenge", a female fan wearing Yang Di's No. [-] jersey was selected to hit the midcourt ball, and the female fan won a bonus of [-] US dollars.

Yang Di was originally waiting for the game to start in the player tunnel, but when he saw the fans making the shots, he was actually a female fan who was big and thick, so excited, he rushed into the field with his arms raised high.

The female fan is actually nearly 1.8 meters tall, and her broad back and waist are enough to make a bunch of men ashamed.When Yang Di ran over, she also jumped excitedly, then opened her arms and hugged Yang Di actively. Yang Di felt that she was hugging a round ball, which was soft but cute.

"Congratulations, you are amazing!"

"Haha, now I have enough money to travel!" the female fan said happily.

The other players of the Warriors also ran in and high-fived this magical female fan, hoping that she could pass on the magical touch to everyone.

In the second half after the episode, the competition became more intense.

The feel of the female fans did not pass to the Warriors, but Nowitzki took the lead in opening the game. In front of Foyer's defense, he hit consecutive fadeaway jumpers, and used a clever way to hit various hollows or hit the board.Later, when he went crazy, Yang Di switched to defending Nowitzki, but it still had no effect, because Yang Di couldn't cover it.

Yang Di was ruthless, and a heavy foul hit Nowitzki in the face, which almost caused a conflict between the two sides.

But after this foul, Nowitzki's shooting touch was interrupted, and the Warriors regained the score. At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors trailed the Mavericks by 83 points 86 to 3.

The game entered the crucial fourth quarter, and Nowitzki had scored a game-high 25 points. In addition, the Warriors' highest score was Baron Davis' 16 points.

"Little General" Avery Johnson never thought that the Warriors could force the Mavericks to such a level. According to the record, the Mavericks are now fourth in the Eastern Conference and the Warriors are eighth in the Eastern Conference, which is a notch behind!
Amidst the loud cheers from the home fans, the Warriors made consecutive counterattacks in the fourth quarter.

But the Mavericks held up the game, and even Nowitzki and Terry hit key shots in a row. Whenever the Warriors want to start or score consecutively, they will be suppressed again.

This is also where the Mavericks are strong. After the tug-of-war between the two sides, they entered the crucial 3 minutes.

The two teams restrained each other in terms of style of play. An insider like Nowitzki is best at taking advantage of strengths and attacking weaknesses. The state of the second half improved, and the Warriors were not taken away by a wave, which surprised him.

"Snapped!"

At the critical moment, Yang Di blocked Josh Howard's shot and got his sixth block of the game.

Within 1 minute from the end, Baron Davis broke through and caused Terry to foul. After walking to the free throw line, the Warriors fans thought they could rebuild their lead, but Davis made two free throws and the two sides tied at 112.

This was a high-scoring game. Looking at Yang Di's strong defense, the Mavericks still scored more than 110 points with a high-tempo round, and made 32 crazy three-pointers from the outside. In this era, it is simply unbelievable.

The Mavericks gave the ball to Nowitzki, and Nowitzki singled Foyer with his back, then turned his back and walked to the baseline, and Yang Di double-teamed in time to help defend.

He shot against the defense of the two and missed.

In the Warriors' final attack, Montgomery still chose Richardson first.

Richardson was strictly guarded by the Mavericks, and he couldn't pass the ball. He forced a long shot from the outside.
