The Golden Invincible of Basketball

Tang Tian reached out to her, and she also made a cheering gesture to Tang Tian.

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony.

The cheering of the audience was overwhelming, and the atmosphere in the playoffs stadium was different from the past.

The starters of both sides appeared one after another.

On the Mavericks side, Carlisle sent a regular lineup, Kidd and Carter on the perimeter, Marion and Nowitzki on the front, and Haywood on the center.

On the Spurs side, Popovich used the starting lineup in the second half of the season, outside Parker and Tang Tian, ​​forward Leonard and Dior, center Duncan.

After the opening ceremony, the starting players of the two teams appeared one after another.

Duncan and Haywood's jump ball in the middle circle.

Tang Tian reached out and patted his chest. He didn't feel much about playing in the NCAA tournament at first, but in the NBA playoffs, his mentality is still a little different.

As a godfather who coached the playoffs in the previous life, he can feel the difference in intensity on the court just by the side.

If you really play as a player, this feeling will definitely be stronger.

Duncan used his wingspan to return the ball to the Spurs halftime. With the cheers from the audience, the game officially started.

The Spurs get started with a TD.step hammer.

However, the Mavericks' defense is impervious, and I have blocked all opportunities for the Spurs.

Popovich was the master of tactics, and Carlisle on the other side didn't bother.

And the Mavericks' performance on the court is 100%.

Parker's last layup was disturbed and missed, and the Spurs' first offensive failed.

The Mavericks' offense is much simpler than the Spurs. Kidd dribbled the ball to the front to open up the space, and then gave the ball to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki received Dior after receiving the ball.

After Dior's weight dropped, his overall competitive status improved significantly, and his defense was underestimated.

At this moment, he took the initiative to confront his body, and Nowitzki was very uncomfortable.

Nowitzki chose to turn around and turned to the iconic "rooster independence" and shot back.

Dior swooped up to interfere.

"Oh!"

However, the ball fell into the net bag after crossing a high parabola.

Nowitzki's Finals last year was such a slammed shot that the Heat gave up.

The Mavericks are mainly anti-visitors.

Offensive by the Spurs, the physical confrontation on the court is still very strong, and Tang Tian has never got a chance to open.

Outside of tactics, he and Dior played a small cooperation and took the initiative to run out of pick-and-roll.

Parker found him and gave the pass the first time.

Tang Tian took a three-pointer to catch the ball, and Nowitzki struggled to save the interference.

"boom!"

The opportunity is fleeting, but it is enough for Tang Tian.

But unfortunately, the luck was a bit worse, and after the ball went in, it bounced out.

Heywood protected the defensive rebounds, and the Spurs didn't score consecutive opening attacks.

The Mavericks attacked the frontcourt and continued to deliver the ball to Nowitzki.

Leonard started defending at this time, and Nowitzki turned and suddenly threw the ball to the middle.

Marion cut in and scored against Duncan's throw.

Just like Ginobili said in the locker room, the peak of the Mavericks' strength was not when they won last year, but in the two years of 06/07.

The Mavericks had almost no solution in those two years, but Nowitzki had obvious technical shortcomings at that time and could not pass.

There are gains and losses, the team did not win the peak period, Nowitzki painfully developed a pass.

Most people remember his "golden rooster independence" without a solution, but in fact he can cast and pass, so he has no solution in the playoffs.

At 4-0, the Mavericks gave the Spurs at home a dismissal.

The Texas Civil War does not seem to have a one-sided game.

The Spurs finally scored a goal by Duncan, but Marion's breakthrough play also caused Leonard's beaters.

The performance of the Mavericks after the opening, perfectly interpreted the word "defending champion".

In 1995, the Rockets only ranked sixth in the West as the defending championship record, and everyone was not optimistic that the Rockets could defend the title.

But the then coach Rudy Tomjanovich said the most classic NBA words:

Never underestimate the heart of a championship.

Just after he said that, the Rockets finally defended the championship.

As the defending champions, aside from the strength, the confidence of the championship is like the halo in the game, allowing them to play 100% or even 120% of the strength.

Popovich tried various tactics and lineups in the first half, but none of them worked well.

The Mavericks played away, but they really played the title of defending champion.

At halftime, the Mavericks led the Spurs by 7 points, 45-38.

Not many scores, but the audience watched very nervous.

The fierce confrontation on the field, the master-level tactical game between Popovich and Carlisle, the two sides played a semifinal match at the final level.

The Mavericks are respectable, but the Spurs' performance is not good. They only hit 40% in the first half. They need to be adjusted in the first half.

The team's shooting rate is not good, Tang Tian also had a bit of backs tonight. He didn't score 1 point on 4 of 0 shots in the first half and only contributed 1 rebound and 1 steal.

The Mavericks were very tight. He didn't get any vacant phone games. All four attempts were three-pointers.

What's more depressing is that the ball was actually shot well, but either it popped up or rubbed into the box, all didn't make it.

The basket at home tonight is a bit unfriendly to him, which is covered in front of him.

The game entered the intermission and both players returned to the locker room to rest.

The commentary for this game was Mike Brin and Reggie Miller of ESPN, and the two also talked about the situation in the first half of the two sides at the commentary.

"The Mavericks' performance is very good, but the Spurs did not seem to find the state at the beginning. One obvious place is that they have the most accurate three-pointer in the regular season. Tang shot four times in the first half, but all of them Failed to hit. "

Brin's observation was very careful.

"Maybe this is the difference between the playoffs and the regular season. As a shooter, it is not easy to want to perform well on the playoffs stage."

Miller's words have a say, which is one of the reasons for his popularity. He is the type of player who has a better playoff performance than the regular season.

"Perhaps Terry's words affected him."

Brin said another possibility.

Tang Tian still has some memories of his performance in the NCAA tournament, saying that Tang Tian is a bit unjustifiable in the playoff fright, in contrast, he is more likely to be affected by Terry.

"perhaps."

Miller also nodded. It was common for him to spit before the NBA game. This time Tang Tian didn't pick it up, maybe his mentality was really affected.

After the Spurs' locker room, Popovich analyzed Tang Tian and chatted with Tang Tian after half a game.

The general content is to let him not worry about failing to vote, if there is a chance, still have to vote.

Others watched Tang Tian play abnormally, but Popovich knew very well that Tang Tian simply didn't vote and went on.

Tang Tian nodded.

After Popovich was gone, he took out the lucky bracelet Olsen gave him before the game.

He is not a superstitious person. After all, he has experienced previous lives. He knows that most things depend on his own efforts to succeed.

But he still believes that there is luck in the world.

Otherwise, so many people write books, why do readers subscribe to your books?

Popovich knew that he also knew that not scoring in the first half was simply bad luck.

So now he can try this necklace made by Grandma Olsen, can it bring him good luck?

The intermission was approaching, and the team members left the locker room one after another.

"what is this?"

Green couldn't help asking curiously when he saw the bracelet worn by Tang Tian.

In the NBA, the confrontation is fierce. In addition to the protective gear, the only accessory is a headscarf.

"Lucky bracelet."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Green froze for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, Tang Tian was really a little different.

Back at halftime, the starting players on both sides returned to the field one after another.

Popovich made Tang Tian speak alone in the midfield, indicating that he still trusted Tang Tian.

Back in the second half, Tang Tian is still in the starting lineup.

Kidd dribbled to the frontcourt and the Mavericks attacked in the second half.

The ball was given to Nowitzki, and Nowitzki turned back and shot straight.

"Oh!"

The old driver is still as stable as a dog and scored his first offense in the second half.

"The Spurs are in trouble."

Side commentary, Brin said the first time.

A team was in a good shape in the first half, but fell back somewhat after the intermission.

But now the Mavericks are still intact. If the Spurs don't adjust, it will be really difficult to say.

Although this is the first eighth in the Western Conference, the Mavericks are the defending champions.

If they took the first game, after the state came up, Hei Ba would not be impossible.

The situation has turned against the Spurs.

"Go.spurs.go!"

The DJ on the sidelines also realized that the momentum was wrong, and also led fans to cheer for the team.

Parker motioned to give Duncan the ball after pulling it off. The tactics are difficult to open. At this time, it depends on personal ability.

The defense against Duncan was Haywood. Duncan held the ball high and looked like he was looking for a teammate, and suddenly turned to the bottom line.

Heywood reacted a bit slowly, reaching the block shot too late, and Duncan directly dunked with one hand to score.

He can lay up the ball and dunk it. Duncan has no energy and seems to know that the team needs morale at this time.

The stone quotient and consciousness of "Stone Buddha" are absolutely historical.

"Defend! Defend!"

The atmosphere at the scene also rose a few days ago. After the Spurs attacked and turned, the cheering sound at the scene was not reduced.

The Spurs 'defensive strength on the court has also continued to increase in cheering, and the Mavericks' tactics have not been able to play.

The ball was finally given to Nowitzki.

At this time, the situation was different from the first half, and time was limited. Nowitzki could not do too many technical moves, and Dior's personal defense was also in place.

"boom!"

Nowitzki's "Golden Rooster Independence" missed the shot, Duncan stuck Heywood to get defensive rebounds.

With this offense and defense, the overall state of the Spurs in the second half improved significantly.

Parker held the ball to the frontcourt and directly called Duncan's high pick-and-roll. After breaking the ball, he broke in and attracted the double teams to return the ball to Duncan.

Duncan hit the ball from the middle of the line.

"boom!"

The ball hit the board into the frame, and "Shifo" scored 4 points in the second half after coming up!

The Spurs have also reduced the difference to 5 points.

"Why isn't Tim old?"

Brin said with a smile at this moment.

"Isn't he the 21st rookie?" Miller said with a smile.

Carter's breakthrough layup was again covered by Duncan's defense. After returning at halftime, "Stone Buddha" showed absolute dominance.

The audience cheered.

Tang Tian is not unexpected. Duncan is only 35 years old. It is still too early for him to retire.

Parker went to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Duncan. The Mavericks were forced to defend at this time. Marion released Leonard to the strong side.

Tang Tian responded quickly at this time and moved directly to Leonard.

Leonard and Tang train every day, and the mind will directly mention that the three-point line has made pick-and-rolls.

Duncan saw the ball quickly after seeing it, Tang Tian took the three-pointer and then shot.

The fans on the sidelines followed.

If they change to the regular season, they are not worried at all, and even at this opportunity, they will feel secure.

But tonight is different. Tonight, Tang Tian made 0 of 4 shots from outside, feeling cold.

It's completely unknown whether it feels right to return after halftime.

The ball is shot, the hand feels very soft, and the ballistics after the shot are also very positive.

In fact, Tang Tian's shots in the first half were similar, but they didn't score in the end.

After the ball passed the last point, it fell straight down.

"Oh!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Tian made his third three-pointer in the game and finally made it!

"This is you! Godfather!"

Fans shouted excitedly at the scene.

But this voice was quickly overshadowed by the cheers of others.

Tang Tian reached out and kissed the bracelet after scoring.

This lucky bracelet really brought him good luck.

The side photographer captured this picture ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and quickly put it on the large LED screen on the scene.

The fans at the scene noticed that Tang Tian was wearing this thing.

Olson saw his heart beat suddenly after seeing it, and his face became rosy.

Tang Tian really wore the bracelet and kissed him!

I remembered that the two had not kissed at Santa Monica Beach before. Tang Tian's mouth was like kissing her.

The audience also took this scene on the sidelines. The action of this kiss bracelet is likely to become one of the wonderful atlases after the game.

Tang Tian's three-pointer hit, the Spurs played a 7-2 offensive in the second half, which has reduced the difference to only 2 points.

Nowitzki's low-post receiving back is a key for the Mavericks.

Leonard then assisted in defending the team, and Nowitzki also passed the ball to the middle.

However, Leonard has been alert after a loss and at this time showed his defensive ability.

With a very long wingspan and a large hand, he directly broke Nowitzki's pass!

The Spurs' defensive counterattack, Leonard strode forward with a meteor.

Kidd assisted the defense at this time, and Leonard made a big chance in the frontcourt.

Although Kidd is old, his strength is there, successfully interfering with Leonard's fast-break layup.

Leonard caught another offensive rebound and was almost stolen by Kidd. At this time, Yu Guang reached Tang Tian, ​​a long-time right-hander, and threw the ball directly.

Tang Tian's three-point chance to catch the ball.

He did not hesitate to vote.

The fans in the field expressed their expectations again. They made 0 of 4 shots in the first half. Can they make continuous shots in the second half?

"Oh!"

Tang Tian quickly gave the answer.

can!
