After changing careers, I ruled an era in the NBA

And such tidbits can only become embellishments in the midfield.

After the start of the second half, Carlisle changed his lineup and put Marion back into the starting lineup. After all, he is the best player to limit Leonard.

However, the game only lasted less than 3 minutes. Marion injured his foot during a breakthrough and could not persist and had to leave the field.

Marion's departure is a big problem for the Mavericks' defense, especially when Leonard is in good form today.

Carter can only guard Leonard, but he is extremely passive when his body, speed, and strength are not as good as Leonard's.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks were already 3 points behind.

In the last quarter of the game, Carlisle had no choice but to push Crowder to the 3rd position to defend Leonard.

This time the effect came out, Leonard's offense was not as sharp as before.

But in the fourth quarter, the demon knife came out of its sheath, and several unreasonable shots and breakthroughs sealed the game.

In the end, the Mavericks lost to the San Antonio Spurs 92:102 at their home court, with the total score coming to 1:2.

Leonard made 17 of 11 shots in this game and scored 26 points.

Duncan made 21 of 10 shots and scored 23 points and 10 rebounds.

帕克16投7中得到了17分5个助攻5个篮板。

吉诺比利12投5中，得到了14分，其中有8分是在第4节拿到的。

Su Jiuyun made 20 of 9 shots, 3 of 5 2-pointers, and 24 of 8 free throws. He scored 8 points, assists, and rebounds.

诺维斯基全场17投9中，得到22分11个篮板4个助攻。

Mayo scored 14 points, Crowder scored 9 points, and Carter scored 8 points.

This series reversed again and again. First, the Mavericks got the home court advantage. Looking back, the Spurs took away the home court advantage at the team's home court.

Everyone originally thought the game with the Spurs would be ugly.

But after three games, many fans still feel that the tactical arrangements of the head coaches of the two teams are very good.

Target and counter target.

And more importantly, the outstanding performance of All-Star players like Duncan, Nowitzki, Ginobili, Tony Parker and other All-Star players told the entire league that these veterans still have gas and their swords are not rusty yet.

Not only did they perform well in the regular season, but in the playoffs, when the quality of the stars is tested, they can still contribute steadily.

At the same time, the rise of young players is also eye-catching.

Su Jiuyun had a brilliant performance in his first playoff game. Although he entered the second round against the Spurs, his performance was not as good as his performance in the first round, but for a rookie, it was impressive enough.

In this game, the Spurs' second-year player Leonard also shined.

With superb physical talent, a strong body, and a calm and steady style of play that is expressionless, he is like a second stone Buddha.

After the dizzying tactical changes in the first three games, everyone knows that the two teams now know the basics and there is not much room for change.

What matters is whoever's star performs better will take away the game.

In the fourth game of the series, Marion failed to return. Carlisle pushed Crowder to the 4 position to guard Leonard, and put Murphy on the court to play the 3 position.

From the beginning of this game, Su Jiuyun and the Mavericks players were holding their breath. They must win this game, otherwise they would return to the Spurs' home court 3:1 and there would be no possibility of a comeback.

"The last attack of the third quarter, Su's breakthrough, he rushed in with Danny Green, he threw himself in the air to challenge Split, wait, Su actually passed the ball.

It's Murphy in the corner.

Oops, the ball went in, and the Mavericks entered the fourth quarter with a 12-point advantage.

This is the fourth three-pointer that Mo Fei has made tonight. His three-point shooting percentage is 4 of 5. God, he is the Mavericks' surprise player in this game.

Precisely because he had such a high shooting percentage, Su chose to pass the ball to him, and it wasn't just one ball that determined the outcome.

Otherwise, that Qiu Su just now would definitely have done it by himself! "

Kenny Smith was not calm anymore. Murphy played too well in this game, and his high turret was too stable.

In the end, with Murphy making 10 of 8 shots, 7 of 5 three-pointers, and three of three free throws, scoring 24 points, the Mavericks withstood the Spurs' counterattack in the fourth quarter.

In the end, they narrowly defeated the Spurs 105:99, and the total score between the two sides came to a 2:2 tie.

In this game, Su Jiuyun contributed 17 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds.

Nowitzki had 20 points and 9 rebounds.

For the Spurs, Duncan had a bad feeling in this game. He made 22 of 7 shots, scored 19 points and 15 rebounds.

Under Crowder's defense, Leonard made 14 of 6 shots from the field and scored 15 points and 8 rebounds.

Parker had 17 points and 3 assists.

Ginobili scored 12 points.

In the first four games, the Spurs and Mavericks tied at 4:2, which not many people could have imagined before the series started.

Because the Spurs are obviously better than the Mavericks.

However, Carlisle's appropriate tactical arrangements and the unexpected combat effectiveness of Su Jiuyun and Nowitzki after changing their playing styles allowed the Mavericks to develop stronger combat effectiveness.

You must know that the Spurs have a balanced offense and defense, ranking fourth in the offensive league and third in the defensive league.

And this was done with the Spurs' main players, only three of whom averaged more than 30 minutes of playing time.

Regarding the protection of veterans, the Spurs should be the best among all teams. Tony Parker averages 32 minutes per game, Duncan averages 30 minutes per game, and Ginobili averages 23 minutes per game.

The other two starters, Leonard, averaged 31 minutes per game, and Danny Green averaged 27 minutes per game.

In the playoffs, Parker, Duncan, and Leonard all played more than 36 minutes, so the Spurs in the playoffs are stronger on both offense and defense than in the regular season.

But that's it, Nowitzki dealt the cards at the top of the arc, and Su Jiuyun sometimes played with the ball, sometimes with the ball, but it was not surprising that he was able to fight the Spurs to this point.

Everyone is lamenting that if Nowitzki were 5 years younger, it would be hard to say what the league's pattern would be like in the next few years.

Until now, all the professional media are full of praise for Su Jiuyun.

He can lead the team to victory in the regular season. On the playoff stage where stars are tested, he is not afraid at all and still plays with a big heart. He is well-deserved as the tactical core of the Mavericks.
