Kidd dribbled the ball past half court and saw that the Warriors were still guarding him from long shots. He was not polite and jumped up to shoot.

Under the basket, Haywood desperately competed with Randolph to occupy a favorable position.

He knows very well that if he wants to contribute to the team, he can only actively fight for offensive rebounds.

If the Warriors were allowed to grab rebounds and start a fast break, he would have no choice but to make a meaningless run back.

Seeing the basketball bounce out, Haywood suddenly used his strength to squeeze Randolph away, occupied a favorable position, grabbed the offensive rebound, and immediately scored a second attack.

8:2!

Immediately afterwards, Ellis used the cover of his teammates to get out of the three-point line, received the pass and shot.

Terry, who quickly bypassed the screen to pursue the defense, immediately pounced on him and stretched his arms to interfere.

"Dang!"

The basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

Sun Yi saw this scene and knew that the Mavericks were worried about the Warriors' three-point shots, so he formulated a defensive strategy targeting outside shots.

"No matter who wins this game, he will lose his skin!" Sun Yi sighed, then turned around and quickly returned to defense.

The Mavericks attacked, and Kidd dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.

Nowitzki immediately ran to the free throw line to coordinate the pick-and-roll.

In this game, the Mavericks appropriately increased teamwork tactics and reduced singles tactics. I want to see the effect.

The pick-and-roll quality of King Notre Dame was average, and he still blocked the pursuing Curry.

Kidd bypassed the screen, broke through to the mid-range area on the right, and immediately passed the ball out.

He knows Sun Yi's defensive strength and has no confidence that he can succeed in singles.

Nowitzki at the front of the penalty area received the pass, pushed past Curry who was defending, and hit a mid-range jumper.

The Warriors quickly sent a baseline ball. After receiving the ball, Curry was intercepted by Kidd and immediately passed the ball out.

Ellis, who was on the fast break, received the pass and was also tightly entangled by Terry who stepped forward to defend, so he could only pass the ball out.

Sun Yi received the pass and immediately started to break towards the basket.

He knew that the Mavericks were tightly guarded on the outside and could not open up the situation, so he could only look for a breakthrough point from the inside.

Nowitzki immediately moved sideways to block and defend closely.

Sun Yi didn't stop, he fought Nowitzki to the basket, and then suddenly used his strength to push away Nowitzki, and flew for a layup.

Nowitzki's defensive ability can only be considered average, and his confrontation ability is not very strong, otherwise he would not be labeled a "softie".

Looking back, the Mavericks cooperated through passing and cutting. Kidd assisted Marion for a layup and scored 2 points.

It was the Warriors' turn to attack. Curry, Ellis and others moved quickly but failed to get a chance.

Seeing that the outside line could not be opened, the Warriors immediately adjusted their offensive tactics.

Curry and others attracted defense from the outside and emptied the Mavericks penalty area.

Randolph quickly stepped forward to provide Sun Yi with an off-ball screen.

After Sun Yi bypassed the screen, he rushed straight towards the basket, received Curry's pass, and flew for a layup.

It was the Mavericks' turn to attack, and Kidd patiently directed his teammates' movements.

Through multiple ball passes, the Mavericks ripped open the Warriors' defense, and Terry got a chance and hit a pull-up jumper.

The Warriors quickly served the baseline ball and launched a fast break.

Sun Yi, who quickly sprinted towards the frontcourt, received the pass, came outside the three-point line, made a fake gesture of bowing to Buddha, swayed Nowitzki and broke through into the penalty area.

Haywood returned to defend near the penalty area and immediately retreated to the basket to defend.

Sun Yi did not stop and rushed into the penalty area for a layup but was interfered by Haywood.

After the basketball hit the board, it failed to bounce into the frame and bounced out.

Sun Yi did not give up, jumped up suddenly, stretched out his hand and put the ball into the basket.

The audience burst into applause, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.

In the next few rounds, the Mavericks' shooting percentage began to decline, and they were not as accurate as they started.

The Warriors relied on Ellis' breakthrough and Sun Yi's cutback to slowly regain the point difference.

When the game lasted about 7 minutes, the head coaches of both teams began to make substitutions.

The Warriors replaced Sun Yi and Curry and replaced them with Moreau and Biedrins.

The Mavericks replaced Nowitzki and Haywood and replaced Butler and Dampier.

After the substitutions and adjustments, the Mavericks' defense was not as strong as before, and the Warriors began to try outside shooting, but the effect was not very good, and there were successive blackouts.

The Mavericks took advantage of the Warriors' scoring drought and played steadily, slowly widening the point difference.

"The Warriors are in trouble. Their offense can't open up, which gives the Mavericks an opportunity." Reggie Miller, who served as the on-site commentator, analyzed.

"I think Mr. Nelson should ask for a timeout to make adjustments." Mike Breen analyzed.

As soon as Brin finished speaking, Nelson asked for a timeout.

When the players on the field returned to the bench, Nelson raced against time to arrange tactics.

"Use regular tactics. If there is no chance, give the ball to Sun and let him handle the ball."

The Warriors players nodded to show their understanding.

Afterwards, Nelson asked the players to take time to rest and prepare for the game.

When the referee blew the whistle to signal the players from both sides to start playing, Nelson stepped forward and patted Sun Yi on the shoulder and gave him instructions.

"Sun, give full play to your strength and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Sun Yi nodded after hearing this and replied: "Coach, don't worry, I won't let you down."

After finishing speaking, Sun Yi followed his teammates towards the court.
Chapter completed!
