112:104, the Suns steadily won the very important fourth game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, after Ling Yang led his teammates to play defensive counterattacks to confirm the advantage, although the Mavericks also tried to limit the Suns' offense through defense, and then counterattacked through offensive counterattacks.

However, after D'Antoni sent Nash, the Sun's offensive anchor, to the court in time, the Suns quickly stabilized the situation, found this wave of counterattacks, and kept the lead until the end of the game.

2:2, the Suns did not repeat the mistakes of the Pistons, but pulled the two teams back to the same starting line, and also regained their home court advantage.

If the remaining three games are played, the Suns will have two home games.

Such a situation immediately changed the wind direction of the outside world completely.

"The Suns beat the Mavericks away, regaining home court advantage 2:2"

"Refused 1:3, the Suns beat the Mavericks away"

"The Sun's Changes Receive Miraculous Effects, Defeating the Mavericks 112:104"

……

After the game, media voices supporting the Suns suddenly increased.

Among them, there are especially many reports about the solar evolution.

James Jones entered the starting lineup. Although he didn't make much contribution in the second half, he did help the Suns open the situation at the beginning of the game.

And Ling Yang came off the bench and still performed well, especially at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The lineup with him as the defensive core restrained the Mavericks' offense very well, and repeatedly hit counterattacks to help the Suns win the game in one fell swoop.

In this game, on the Suns side, 5 players scored in double figures.

It was Marion who got the highest score. In this game, Hacker showed his splendor as the sun's regular season scoring leader, scoring 26 points and 10 rebounds.

Ranked second is Ling Yang. Although he came off the bench, D'Antoni actually deliberately increased Ling Yang's shot rights during the stage when Ling Yang came off the bench and when Nash and Stoudemire were off the court.

全场比赛凌阳拿到了22分11个篮板5次抢断4次封盖3次助攻的数据,继续着在攻防两端都有着非常不错的表现。

You must know that at this time, Ling Yang's scoring composition is completely different because of his different tactical positioning.

In the past, if Ling Yang wanted to get 20 points, he had to feed enough Nash.

But now with Ling Yang, the assist rate is less than 50%. Most of his points are based on his own personal ability.

Stoudemire's touch today is considered particularly good, and Diop's defense against him is also in place, but as the player who benefited most from Nash's pick-and-roll, he still scored 19 points in the game.

Nash continued to play like a dog. Although he didn't score much, his performance of 17 points and 12 assists has already demonstrated his value on the Suns' offensive end.

What's more, he also has many indirect assists.

In this sun, even if Stoudemire returns, even if Marion explodes from time to time, even if Lingyang is in the limelight, he is still very popular, but Nash is still the absolute core and soul, this is recognized by everyone of.

In addition to these four, Jones also scored 10 points in the game by virtue of his three-point performance in the first quarter. Bell, Hou House, Dior, Barbosa and others also made contributions.

….This is a victory achieved by the participation of all the people of the Sun and the performance of the whole team.

Such a victory also brought more attention and focus to the fifth game between the two sides.

Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

In the Eastern Conference finals, the Heat led the Pistons 3:1 after four games because of their upset. Although the Pistons won the fifth game after returning home, they rewritten the big score to 3:2.

But in this game everyone knows that the Pistons must win, and the outside world is indeed not optimistic enough about the Pistons, so the degree is not that high.

The battle of Tianwang Mountain in the Western Conference Finals was different.

When the Suns return to their home court, they must try their best to win the game and keep their home court advantage.

The Mavericks also won the Suns at home, and they naturally hope to regain the lead.

Moreover, when the media and fans were looking for patterns, they found that in this round of the series, the two teams basically won one game and lost one game.

If this rule is followed, in the fifth game between the two sides, the one with a higher probability of winning is the Mavericks?

In such discussions, players from the two teams came to Phoenix from Dallas.

Compared with the outside discussion, the players of the Suns and Mavericks rarely spoke out about the upcoming fifth game.

However, both D'Antoni and Johnson expressed their determination to win this game.

Under the eyes of everyone, the fifth game officially started at the American West Arena after a lapse of one day.

Because the Suns' change in the previous game achieved very good results, everyone believes that the Suns are very likely to continue this lineup in this game.

However, when the game officially started, they found that the sun had returned to the regular lineup, and Ling Yang had also returned to the starting lineup.

D'Antoni and his coaching staff have their own judgment on this. He believes that after Jones's hot performance in the opening game in the previous game, if this game continues to be used, the Mavericks are very likely to have arranged it early.

Instead of this, it is better to surprise and return to the normal offensive lineup.

Facts have proved that the judgment of the Suns coaching staff is very accurate.

The Mavericks are indeed prepared to defend against X-factors like Jones, but they are also prepared, such as Ling Yang's return to the starting lineup.

So when Ling Yang continued to start, the Mavericks' defensive attention was subconsciously placed on Ling Yang, and Josh Howard and Diop took care of him.

However, what the Mavericks never expected was that the Suns' offensive firepower was concentrated on Nash, Stoudemire, and Bell.

In the first round of the game, Nash used Stoudemire's pick-and-roll to get rid of Harris' defense.

Then, taking advantage of Diop's opportunity to shrink the defensive line to prevent Ling Yang from cutting in, he hit a mid-range jumper.

In the following round, Nash once again identified Diop's wrong choice on the defensive end and assisted Stoudemire to make a mid-range shot.

When the Mavericks hadn't figured out what tactics the Suns would play after the opening game, Nash once again used pick-and-roll tactics to tear through the Mavericks' defense.

...Only in this round, he neither shot himself nor gave Stoudemire, but found Bell who was running outside and assisted the latter to hit a three-pointer.

The Suns' offense played very well, but they didn't really take the initiative on the court, because on the other end of the Mavericks, Nowitzki and Terry also played well.

Stalemate!

This is the only suitable word to describe the whole game.

From the beginning of the game, the two teams competed for every point and did not concede an inch of ground.

In this game, Ling Yang also really felt the best defensive emphasis from the Mavericks.

As the Mavericks who were able to play 7 games with the Spurs and eliminated the opponent, they relied on their offensive and defensive balance, and their defensive ability on the front line was also an important reason why they were able to beat the Spurs very uncomfortable.

In this match, Ling Yang also experienced it personally.

Because the Mavericks retreated in time in this game, the Suns basically fell into a positional battle in the first half of the game. It is not that Ling Yang has no chance to catch the ball and get to the basket.

But today's Josh Howard also played hard against the defense, now with Diop's basket protection.

Throughout the first half, Ling Yang only made 5 of 1 shots, and this time the attack was obtained through counterattack.

Of course, Ling Yang's various attacks were not completely fruitless. He caused two fouls by his opponent and got four free throw opportunities.

And these 4 free throws, Ling Yang also grasped them.

However, 6 points in the halftime report card does not match Ling Yang's excellent state in the playoffs.

However, the Suns still took the lead after halftime.

At 47:49, the Suns still have a 2-point lead despite the fact that the Suns' offense has been strongly defended today.

Among them, the performance of Nash and Stoudemire is crucial.

In the first half of the game, Nash not only scored a team-high 17 points, but even under such circumstances, he still sent 6 assists.

Among them, 4 assists were given to Stoudemire.

The power of the two teams' pick-and-roll offense was fully demonstrated in this game.

After the start of the second half, the game between the two sides continued to be stalemate. The two teams took the lead alternately, but the point difference did not widen to more than 5 points.

The fierce competition between the two sides is very exhausting. Even though the Suns and the Mavericks are both good at fast-paced teams, at this point in the game, both offensive efficiency and defensive strength have declined.

And Ling Yang also found the right opportunity and played more proactively, but he had a better performance than the first half of the game.

Of course, in this game, the ultimate protagonist is Nash!

The Son of Wind obviously understands the importance of victory in this game, so in this game, Gang Shi directly broke out.

On the basis of scoring 17 points in the first half of the game, Nash scored 20 points in the second half of the game, scoring 37 points and 11 assists.

Nash's outstanding performance also led the Suns to finally defeat their opponents by 5 points.

97:102, a big score of 2:3, the Suns at home won the final victory in the battle of Tianwangshan, truly confirmed their home court advantage, and also broke the rumors that they could not win two games in a row in this round of the series.

... Stoudemire, as the one who benefited most from Nash's pick-and-roll tactics, also showed his offensive talent in this game. He scored 24 points in the whole game.

This pair of Suns scored 64 points with their offensive duo last season.

In comparison, Ling Yang and Marion's offensive performance in this game was weaker, Ling Yang scored 15 points, and Marion scored 12 points.

However, Ling Yang's contribution on the defensive end is still outstanding. He not only grabbed 15 rebounds in the game, including 4 offensive rebounds, but also had 5 blocked shots and 4 steals.

Nash's MVP-level performance naturally attracted unanimous praise from the outside world after the game.

And the Suns hold the match point and are only one step away from the finals, which undoubtedly makes Suns fans excited.

You must know that the Suns have entered the finals one of the few times in NBA history, and the last time they entered the finals was the 92-93 season led by the peak Barkley.

And now, the Suns are only one victory away from going to the finals.

The sixth game between the two teams will be played at the home court of the Dallas Mavericks, just when the Sun fans are expecting the team to win the game in one go and directly advance to the finals.

In the East, the Heat and Pistons took the lead in winning Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the end, the Pistons still failed to complete the turnaround. In this game, they defeated the Heat 78:95.

The Heat also defeated the Heat with a big score of 4:2 to become the champion of the Eastern Conference this season, and took the lead in getting tickets to the finals.

After the match between the two teams, Ling Yang received a message from Ballmer, which contained only one word, surprise.

It's just that Ling Yang doesn't have much time to chat with Ballmer about the Eastern Conference game, because he and everyone on the team are focusing on the next sixth game.

The Suns are all ready for a hard fight, and they have played 5 games against the Mavericks. Everyone knows the strength of the opponent, and everyone knows that the Mavericks cannot be tied down.

And in this away game, the Suns did encounter a strong attack from the Mavericks.

In this game, the Mavericks showed their excellent defensive ability.

In terms of individual defensive combat capabilities, the Suns with Ling Yang, Marion, Bell, and Kurt Thomas are no worse than the Mavericks.

But in the construction of the whole defensive system, in terms of defensive rotation, after this game, Ling Yang had to admit that there was indeed a gap with the Mavericks.

In the Mavericks formation, there are no very prominent defensive strengths.

But in this game, the Mavericks used their excellent rotation to create great trouble for the Suns.

In the whole game, the Suns only scored 88 points.

This is the lowest score the Suns have scored in a single game so far in the playoffs.

When the Suns, who are known for their offense, cannot start their offense, it is undoubtedly very difficult for them to win the game.

In the end, the score of the two teams was fixed at 88:95. The Suns lost to the Mavericks away by 7 points, and the opponent tied the big score 3:3.

In the whole game, only one player from the Suns scored 20 points.

Nash scored 20 points, already the highest in the team.

Stoudemire scored 18 points, while Ling Yang and Marion both had 16 points.

Under the care of the Mavericks, Ling Yang has not scored more than 20 points in two consecutive games.

However, in this game, Ling Yang grabbed 15 rebounds again. In two consecutive games, Ling Yang got 15+15 data. This kind of performance is not wrong enough.

In fact, Ling Yang's defense in this game is as commendable as the previous game.

Even the overall defensive strength of the Suns is no worse than the previous game.

But in this game, Nowitzki was too popular. When it came to the critical battle of life and death, Nowitzki played a superstar demeanor.

In the whole game, the Mavericks' leading core scored 41 points, which was the key to the Mavericks' victory.

And as the two teams tied again, the Western Conference Finals entered the most intense competition, the tiebreaker!
