Chapter 368
Facing the upcoming Western Conference finals, the Grizzlies will not feel so nervous.Their mission this season has already been completed, and now they are playing here, winning one more game is creating a new record in team history.It doesn't matter if you lose, it's an extra joy to win.

The Mavericks are too fierce in the playoffs this season, and they are getting more and more fierce.Defeating the sixth-ranked Trail Blazers 4:2 in the first round is quite satisfactory, but sweeping the defending champion Lakers in the semifinals is not simply described as normal performance.

Although the Mavericks did not win much in the first 4 games except for G3, we can intuitively see the excellent defensive end of this team and Nuo Tianwang's inability to solve the offensive end when entering the critical ball stage.

Nuo Tianwang is misplaced against anyone, and his Golden Rooster independent fadeaway jumper is even more difficult to block than Durant's dry pull.It's not at all like a 33-year-old veteran.

Although the Lakers are not good enough as a substitute, the starting "three highs" + Kobe + Lao Yu are still the winning team, but unfortunately, they were eventually swept away by their opponents.

In addition to the Lakers' suspension, injuries and hunger to win the championship, the Mavericks' super strength is still the main reason.

Regarding the Western Conference finals of the Grizzlies VS Mavericks, neither the media, experts nor fans overwhelmingly supported the Mavericks.Indeed, the Mavericks are indeed powerful and experienced, and Nuo Tianwang is invincible in offense, but the Grizzlies are not in vain.

The black and white bears of the Grizzlies, even if the Mavericks have "boxing champion" Tyson Chandler inside, they still have an advantage.The young players headed by Xie Kai on the outside will have an impact on the opponent's veterans.

Experience VS impact, it depends on who can maximize their own advantages.

The Grizzlies have gained a large number of fans through their outstanding performance in the first two rounds.Many people supported them, and their iron-blooded defense and tough offense left a deep impression on people and became their label.

On May 5th, G18 of the Western Conference Finals is about to kick off.

Located in Texas, Dallas is the largest metropolis and the ninth largest city in the southern United States.The Mavericks were established in 1980, a little longer than the Grizzlies, and there is currently no championship in team history.But they have reached the finals at least in 2006, and they have been a strong team in the West all these years.

The Grizzlies and Mavericks have only met once in the playoffs, and that was in 2005-06.The two teams met in the first round, and the Grizzlies were swept by their opponents.

That said, there is still some grievances between the two teams.At present, the Grizzlies have experienced that sweep, only Battier is alone.

So, there are grievances, but after all, 5 seasons have passed, and some things have faded long ago.

The American Airlines Center Arena, here once again ushered in the Western Conference Finals.Many years have passed. In 2006, the Mavericks were so close to the championship, but how did they know that they were defeated by the opponent for four consecutive rounds.This kind of pain has always been unforgettable to fans, and this year seems to have a chance for revenge.If the home team can reach the finals, then it is very likely that the opponent will be the Heat who reversed themselves back then.

There is a Western Conference banner hanging over the arena, but there are no other championship banners.Compared with those giants, it seems somewhat empty.In the hearts of many Mavericks fans, in 2006 they should have a championship banner.

The issue of the referee's penalty scale that year has been raised from time to time until now.Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was outraged when he talked about this incident, which shows how controversial it was at the time.

But the result can no longer be changed, there seems to be a chance this year for revenge and revenge.

The Grizzlies players no longer need to be mobilized, and their current self-confidence is completely different from what it was before the first round of the playoffs.They felt they could beat any team, including the Mavericks.

Practice before the game.

It is not the first time to visit the American Airlines Center Xie Kai, but this time the feeling is completely different.Coming here to play the first game of the Western Conference finals, he thought it would be very interesting.

The Mavericks are ranked third in the West in the regular season and have home court advantage in this round of the series.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Mavericks at home is: center-Tyson Chandler, power forward-Dirk Nowitzki, small forward-Shawn Marion, shooting guard-Germany Sean Stevenson, point guard - Jason Kidd.

The average age of the starting lineup of the Mavericks is the largest in the league. Except for the boxing champion who is only 29 years old, the other 4 players are all over 30.Jason Kidd's age has reached 38 years old!
The starting lineup of the Grizzlies in the away game is: center-Marc Gasol, power forward-Zach Randolph, small forward-Tony Allen, shooting guard-Xie Kai, point guard- — Mike Conley.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup hasn't changed much. They've had it since the first round, except for one game in which Battier started instead of Tony Allen.

This game was broadcast live on CCTV5, and the commentators of this game were Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping.

"Friends in front of the TV audience, Zhang Weiping and I will explain the NBA Western Conference Finals match between the Dallas Mavericks and the Memphis Grizzlies at home today!" Yu Jia said the opening remarks, and the director Zhang next to him seemed not particularly interested high.

Of course Yu Jia knew why Director Zhang was not in high spirits, because the Lakers were swept away...

"Director Zhang, do you think the Grizzlies have any hope of beating the Mavericks in the away game?" Yu Jia asked.

Director Zhang nodded: "That's it. Although the Mavericks eliminated the Lakers in the semifinals, it doesn't mean that they are so strong that no one can beat them. There are many factors for the Lakers' loss. For example, Kobe has always had Injury, wait, it’s not their full strength. The Grizzlies are very strong on the inside and have young stars like Xie Kai on the outside. They beat the Thunder and the Spurs. I think they have a good chance in this game! "

"Do you think the Mavericks will flank Xie Kai? What strategy will they use to defend him?" Yu Jia continued to ask.

Director Zhang gestured and said: "One-on-one defense is definitely not enough. How old is Marion. Even Stevenson can't defend one-on-one. The Mavericks have no players suitable for defending Xie Kai. Terry and Kidd They are too old. I think if they can't defend, they may use flanking."

After the starting players from both sides entered the field and greeted each other, the boxing champion and the white bear were preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game was about to start.

The boxing champion took advantage of the jumping speed to easily beat the white bear, and the game officially started.

Old Kidd slowly dribbled over and organized an offense at the top of the arc.

Kidd is 38 years old, but he can still start in a championship team, which shows how good his state and ability are.
