Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

In the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks knew they couldn't sit still.

If the current trend continues, the Mavericks will undoubtedly lose today.

Carlisle went straight to one of the strongest offensive lineups:

Nowitzki, Marion, Terry, Barea and Kidd.

Nowitzki played center, this is not the first time, it can be said that it is a routine operation.

There is no problem with Marion's top power forward position based on his ability.

Both Barea and Kidd are strong enough to defend the Clippers' small forwards.

After Yang Li saw the Mavericks' lineup, he also decisively chose to change.

Replaced with Millsap, Pickles, Ginobili, Harden and Curry.

The best way to deal with offense is to attack.

Isn't it just a confrontation? Our Clippers have never been afraid of anyone!

After half a quarter, the Mavericks not only failed to catch up with the score, but the point difference was stretched to 20 points.

Obviously, Carlisle's tactic failed.

If you are playing against other teams, this lineup is likely to be outstanding.

But unfortunately, they are facing the Los Angeles Clippers.

A team that ranks first in the league in terms of running and shooting efficiency.

After that, the game went into garbage time.

In the end, in the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 104:91.

Made a good start to the Western Conference Finals.

In this game, the Mavericks' best player is undoubtedly Nowitzki.

He made 19 of 9 shots and scored 26 points, along with 8 rebounds.

The most outstanding player of the Clippers is Dayao who only played three quarters.

He didn't have a chance to play in the fourth quarter, and he made 15 of 8 shots, including two three-pointers.

In the end, he scored 24 points, picked up 10 rebounds, and sent 4 assists for his teammates.

Curry and Ginobili scored 22 and 20 points respectively.

Those three are also the three highest-scoring Clippers.

In addition, Harden, Pickle and Millsap also scored in double figures.

In the second game, the Clippers again beat the Mavericks 98:91.

This campaign, Dirk Nowitzki scored 24 points, Marion also scored 20 points.

But still failed to withstand the morale of the Clippers.

The main reason is that Curry felt too hot, and he scored the highest 30 points of the two teams.

Especially in the critical fourth quarter, he hit two consecutive three-pointers to seal the victory for the Clippers.

On May 5, the Clippers and Mavericks ushered in the third game of the Western Conference Finals.

The Clippers are a guest in Dallas to challenge the Mavericks at home.

Although the Mavericks lost two games in a row, the American Airlines Center was still packed on this day.

After all, the Mavericks have Cuban, a boss who loves basketball and is willing to spend money.

The basketball atmosphere in Dallas can be regarded as the top in the league.

Yang Li knew very well that the Mavericks definitely had a combat bonus at the American Airlines Center.

In the 2011 NBA Finals in the previous life, after the Mavericks lost two games to the Heat, they returned to the American Airlines Center and immediately started a counterattack.

He directly won 4 games in a row and won this year's championship.

There are lessons learned from the past, Yang Li doesn't want to be the same as the Heat in his previous life.

Sure enough, the overall state of the Mavericks today is hot.

But it's not an offensive state, it's a defensive state.

The Clippers have experienced the toughest battle since entering the playoffs this year.

In the end, relying on Nowitzki's quasi-lore shot 3.6 seconds before the end of the game, the Mavericks stubbornly pulled back a round.

And relying on this quasi-lore, Nowitzki's personal score today also reached 36 points.

In the first three games of the Western Conference Finals, the most exciting individual performance of the players of the two teams.

In the end, the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Dallas Mavericks 88:90.

This is also the first time the Clippers have not scored more than 90 points in a game this season.

Many people only remember that Nowitzki was very incomprehensible this year, but they are not deeply impressed with how strong the Mavericks' defense is.

With the home whistle, Chandler is like a god in the restricted area.

All the Clippers who wanted to attack the Mavericks basket were turned away by Chandler.

It doesn't give them the possibility of successfully hitting the basket at all.

In addition, Nowitzki's defense today is also very good, especially when facing Yao.

It was also the first time that Dayao felt the horror of being interfered with when turning over and jumping.

Marion on the front line, Kidd and Barea on the back line, today's defense definitely played the highest level since entering the playoffs.

Dayao played mediocre in this campaign, scoring only 18 points and 9 rebounds.

Curry performed well today, scoring a team-high 23 points.

Ginobili was as stable as ever, scoring 18 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

The performance of others is really mediocre, especially Harden.

In this game, he was completely blocked by Kidd and only scored 8 points in the game.

The fourth game is almost a replica of the third game.

Nowitzki continued to feel hot and scored a game-high 28 points.

Chandler performed equally bravely, scoring a large double-double of 15 points and 16 rebounds.

Marion also performed very well, scoring 16 points and getting 4 rebounds.

At the same time, Terry and Stevenson also performed very well today, and both also scored in double figures.

Only Kidd was in poor form today. He didn't score a point, only got 3 rebounds and sent 3 assists.

The title of "base does not attack" has basically been confirmed.

But fortunately, he also got 3 steals, which can barely be regarded as a "basic defense".

For the Clippers, even though Yao Curry and Ginobili scored 20+ at the same time again, it is still difficult to conceal the team's defeat.

The mental attribute bonus of the Mavericks team is really terrifying.

On May 5, the two teams ushered in the battle of Tianwangshan.

Anyone who has watched the NBA game should know how critical this game is.

The team that wins Tianwang Mountain has a probability of winning the series over 8%!

由于现在的季后赛赛制是2-2-1-1-1赛制，所以这场比赛是回到了洛杉矶斯台普斯中心进行的。

Yang Li was quite confident at first, but after playing four games against the Mavericks.

He finally realized that he was still too young.

The nba is not a game on paper. It is not that whoever gets the most star cards will definitely win.

The Mavericks won the championship in 2011, which is known as the most gold-rich championship.

Now Yang Li finally realized the true meaning of this sentence.

Damn, if this goes on, my Clippers and I have become a touchstone!

Now the Clippers have no way out, and must fight back.

The original tactics have been thoroughly studied by Carlisle and the Mavericks. If you want to win the Mavericks...

In this game, the Clippers must make major changes!
