Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 359 279 [The taste of the championship]

In the Dallas Mavericks locker room, Bayonet smiled. When the game entered the intermission with such a point difference, he was already full of absolute confidence in winning the game.

And if they win this game tonight, it will be 2:0 on the total score. For them, they are really a step closer to winning the O'Brien Cup.

Therefore, he must use a smile to express his inner happiness.

"Guys, listen, things are looking great for us right now, but it's not time to celebrate, so we've got to stay vigilant"

Rick Carlisle saw excitement in the faces of the players, and to a certain extent, he was excited too.

However, as the head coach of the team, he must consider more.

.........

"We are always being led by the nose by our opponents, our offense and defense are like tofu..."

At the same time, in the Toronto Raptors locker room, Kawhi Leonard, who scored 18 points in the first two quarters, finally got a little bit overwhelmed.

Think about it a year ago, the reason why he came to the Toronto Raptors despite all the infamy was for the championship.

But what about now?
He seems to be getting farther and farther away from this goal. He doesn't understand what happened to the team. He performed so well before that, why did he fail immediately when he came to the finals to face the Dallas Mavericks?

Yes, Kawhi Leonard admitted that his team does have some gaps with the Dallas Mavericks in terms of hard power.

But in his view, this gap is not irreparable.

In other words, even if you lose, you shouldn't lose so "destroyed", right?Trailing by 15 points in just two quarters, is this the All-Star weekend?

In the eyes of Toronto Raptors players, Kawhi Leonard is a quiet leader, under normal circumstances, he would not do this.

So at this moment he did this, that can only explain one point.

That's when Kawhi Leonard really got mad.

However, they couldn't do anything at this moment, especially Kyle Lowry, who showed a very guilty expression.

He knows how badly he played in this series.

.........

"Obviously, the wind vane of this finals has completely changed. The two teams are no longer evenly divided. The Dallas Mavericks have begun to control the rhythm of the game. For them, at least winning this game is only a matter of time."

Kenny Smith said with some regret.

He hopes to see the inseparable picture of the two teams playing, but the Toronto Raptors don't seem to give him this opportunity.

Originally thought that after losing the first game, the Toronto Raptors would usher in a rebound in this game, but what they finally ushered in was an even worse performance.

"Guys, it's time to stop complaining. Kyle Lowry did play badly, but we have to admit, doesn't this just prove that the Dallas Mavericks are better? They have been in this season from beginning to end. shocked us”

"I must remind everyone that the Dallas Mavericks won 73 games in the regular season. They and the Golden State Warriors have the best single-season record in the NBA. This represents hard power."

Charles Barkley rants, he's fed up with a lot of people complaining, because at this halftime, he saw a lot of criticism of the Toronto Raptors online, which made him very uncomfortable.

He thinks it's an act that people don't respect the Dallas Mavericks yet.

Because in his opinion, the Dallas Mavericks already have the strength to crush the Toronto Raptors.They've been doing it all season, and they're uniquely dominant.

.........

At the beginning of the third quarter, the scene that made Toronto Raptors fans cry was that Kyle Lowry finally ushered in a recovery at this point, and his performance gradually returned to the level of an All-Star point guard.

However, it was too late, because the 15-point hole dug in the first two quarters made them spend too much energy in the third and fourth quarters and failed to fill the hole after all.

and so.

108: 100!

The Dallas Mavericks made another victory, leading the finals series with a total score of 2:0.

Kyle Lowry, who has been criticized by people before this game, finally scored 26 points in this game, a stat that looks absolutely not bad, but he still failed to help the team win at the American Airlines Center Stadium.

On the contrary, Luka Doncic, who was facing him, shined in this game. His limelight even overwhelmed the bayonet. He scored 30 points in the game and became the best performer in the game. players.

And Luka Doncic is also the first first-year rookie to score 20+ on the stage of the finals in the past 30 years after the bayonet.

Through this game, in addition to paying attention to the big news that the Dallas Mavericks lead 2:0 in total, people are also envious of the Dallas Mavericks.

Because having a bayonet has already made the Dallas Mavericks very scary, and now adding a Luka Doncic with unpredictable potential, how terrifying will the Dallas Mavericks be in the next few seasons?

The Bayonet scored a triple-double of 26 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and 3 steals in this game.

In terms of contribution to the team's overall win, he is still the best, and this triple-double data is also very memorable for him. This is the first time in his career that he scored on the stage of the finals. Three pairs.

Two consecutive victories in the finals.

In the eyes of many, it seems that the Dallas Mavericks are only a matter of time before they win the championship.

Of course, because of Kyle Lowry's recovery, some people still feel that the suspense of this series is not completely over.

The next two games will be played at the home of the Toronto Raptors. In their view, if Kyle Lowry can perform in the third and fourth quarters of the second game, then the Toronto Raptors may not be unable to win the game , After all, a Kyle Lowry in normal form is still very big for the overall blessing of the Toronto Raptors.

"Maybe there will be a chance, but to be honest, I am not optimistic about the Toronto Raptors. In my opinion, if they want to have the last laugh in this finals, they must at least get one of the two games that have ended. Victory, but in fact they didn't make it"

Shaq O'Neal shook his head. He has played in the Finals too many times in his career. He knows what the situation of the entire series means to a championship team.

So what if the Toronto Raptors win their next two home games?

The Dallas Mavericks have home court advantage because of their regular season record.

And to be honest, judging from the first two games of the Finals, the Toronto Raptors want to win far more trouble than imagined. Their night itself is not just the reason for Kyle Lowry's sluggish state.
