Chapter 593 The Tragic Singles Joe
Joe Johnson has doubted life.

The Wizards also played seven games against the Nets.

In the playoffs of the Nets, Joe Johnson was the player with the best statistics in the team, averaging 22 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and his performance was as good as ever.

But what about the Big Five?

Pierce and Kevin Garnett are basically walking and playing, Deron Williams is not in good shape, and the team's most stable performance is actually Livingston.

Damn it!
This is too pitiful.

After agreeing to hold the thigh to win the championship, Joe Johnson found himself the thigh of the Nets.

The most painful thing in the world is this.

Can you still let me hold my thigh quietly.

After this game, the East and West lineups for the second round came out.

west:

Mavericks vs. Nuggets.

Spurs vs. Thunder.

east:

Pacers vs. Wizards.

Heat vs. Raptors.

In this four-round series, perhaps the least suspenseful thing is the Heat's match against the Raptors. Not to mention the difference in strength, the Raptors' lineup is naturally restrained by the Heat.

This round of the series is good.

In addition, other teams are not easy to play.

Both the Mavericks and the Nuggets are super strong. Last season, the Nuggets played all the way to the Finals and almost became the dark horse to win the championship.

This game is not easy to play.

When the Spurs played against the Thunder, one side was the thundering duo and the other was Kawhi and the old gangster combination GDP. After the encounter, a deadly battle was inevitable.

Pacers versus Wizards, pawns against pawns, generals against generals.

Paul George and John Wall are both rookies with excellent offense and defense in recent years, super cores, and the game between the two is very interesting.

But from the lineup, the Pacers have an advantage.

……

5 month 2 number.

The Mavericks played against the Nuggets at home in the second round of the playoffs.

In this game, Nowitzki had already stated that he would play before the game. The Nuggets' inside Darko has grown into an inside behemoth in the past two seasons.

Relying on Gobert, he has to be blown up.

The game started, the two sides jumped the ball, and the Nuggets made the first offense.

After halftime, Ty Lawson gave the ball to Dakko, Dakko caught the ball and hit Gobert with his back. Gobert's body is still very weak and his strength is not comparable.

After a back turn, Darko went straight to the layup, and Al Jefferson was fighting for a position under the basket, and it was too late to step forward to help defend.

Darko hits easily.

The Nuggets scored.

This game is not easy to play.

The Mavericks attacked and Qin Yang was defended by Iguodala and Al Jefferson with thousands of thick screens. Facing Gallinari, Qin Yang directly forced a single, and after a forced breakthrough, he went to the basket and used the rhythm to score a layup.

Darko didn't dare to step forward too harshly.

If the Nuggets get too many fouls from Darko, the game will be over.

Coach Carlisle gave advice before the game. If Darko fouled more in the first half, then beat him down, even if he is behind by points.

If Darko is off the court, the Nuggets can't play.

The game continues.

With Darko as the core, the Nuggets played very steadily, but their efficiency was mediocre.

Except for Darko, no one else has an absolute matchup advantage. This year's Mavericks lineup is more defensive, with Vince Carter, Qin Yang, and Brewer on the perimeter.

Gallinari and Iguodala couldn't find a good chance to score.

Darko can't score in isolation all the time.

The Nuggets couldn't find a chance.

The Mavericks may not be playing very well, but they are very stable.

Good execution of tactics is one aspect, and another aspect is that Qin Yang leads well.

With Qin Yang around, the others don't panic, it's an advantage to enter, if you don't enter, you can just enter next time.

Always leading anyway.

The Nuggets worked hard, but fell behind slowly as the first quarter passed.

In the second quarter, Darko was still on the court. In 4 minutes, the weak lead was gone, and the Nuggets reversed the score. At this time, Nowitzki played.

Calderon, Seth Curry, Vince Carter, Marion, Calderon, this lineup is full of offensive power.

Nowitzki leads the team as a core substitute.

As soon as Nowitzki was on the court, the Nuggets' defense changed instantly. On the first ball, Nowitzki got the ball in a high position, and Darko had to step forward to defend.

Dirk passes to Seth Curry, Seth Curry makes a layup, passes to the open Marion, and Marion makes an easy layup.

The Mavericks' pass-and-cut coordination is very good.

When a player has an absolute matchup advantage, it is easy for the predecessors to play and cooperate. The Nuggets' defense is not bad, but at this time they can only watch the Mavericks score.

The Nuggets are not without strength to fight back.

With Seth Curry and Calderon on the court, the Mavericks' perimeter defense has problems, and Iguodala, Gallinari, Ty Lawson and others can all find opportunities.

In the second quarter, the two teams fought very hard.

But in the third quarter, when Darko went off the court, the Nuggets couldn't stand it anymore, and the Nuggets trailed by 8 points.

After a 6-minute break in the third quarter, Darko played again.

Darko and Iguodala are one inside and one outside, and they dare not rest at all. Once they rest, the Nuggets can't stand it.

Other players, such as Gallinari, can do very limited on the defensive end.

In the fourth quarter, the two teams began the final fierce battle.

There is not much difference in points, and there is still a quarter of time.

This is the time to test superstars.

At the critical moment, Qin Yang didn't give in. He shot consecutive three-pointers after the screen. He hit 4 of 3 three-pointers and the Nuggets called a timeout.

After the game resumed, Qin Yang played without the ball and gave his teammates a chance.

Vince Carter, Nowitzki, Marion all got chances.

The point difference is slowly widening, and even the Digging team is scoring, but it doesn't help. The first game ended with the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

The Mavericks won the game 118-106 at home.

With the victory in the first game, the Mavericks players are very happy, and the Nuggets don't seem to be as strong as they seem.Nowitzki did not perform well in this game. He scored 12 of 4 and scored 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. The data is quite satisfactory and the shooting percentage is not high.

The Mavericks played very steadily and well and won the victory.

The post-match press conference was dull.

Darkomilicic looked serious:

"Maybe it will disappoint the fans, but we didn't do well enough. In the next game, we need to play more aggressively and work harder on the defensive end."

Iguodala: "Bruce is the most difficult to defend among the current superstars. When you play against him, you will feel great. We still have a lot of room for improvement."

The Nuggets did not play well in this game.

The role players didn't stand up at all. In order to double-team Qin Yang and Nowitzki, the Nuggets spent too much energy. Obviously, the Nuggets' strategy was wrong.

Qin Yang maintained his character as usual:

"We had better luck and made more shots. In this way, the Nuggets are an opponent that is not easy to beat. I hope we will have good luck in the next game."

If you win, don't waver, stay steady, and you can win.

But the Mavericks obviously didn't stabilize. After leading 1-0, they were caught off guard in the second game.
