Chapter 170(2/2)
Barea hit Sun Yi hard on the hand.
At the same time, Sun Yi did not stop, took a step forward, and threw the ball toward the basket.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
"Beep! Mavericks' No. 11 hitter fouled, the goal is valid, and there is an additional penalty."
The referee blew the whistle and gestured towards the technical table.
Amid the cheers and shouts of the fans in the audience, Sun Yi stood on the free throw line, took the basketball from the referee, and made a steady hit to add the free throw.
After that, both sides scored points, and the score kept rising.
When the game lasted about 4 minutes in the second quarter, the head coaches of both sides made substitution adjustments and replaced the main players on the field one after another.
After substitutions and adjustments, the Warriors used the "elevator door" tactic, and Curry hit a three-pointer to even the point difference.
The Mavericks responded immediately. Nowitzki responded from the high post and passed in to find Haywood. The latter received the ball and completed a two-handed dunk.
Randolph was a little depressed, picked up the basketball on the floor, quickly exited the baseline, and served the ball.
Sun Yi received the pass and advanced toward the frontcourt as quickly as possible.
Curry, Ellis and others quickly started a fast break and went outside the three-point line to perform cross-posting runs.
When Sun Yi saw his teammates running out of opportunities, he immediately passed the ball over.
Ellis received the pass, faced Stevenson who rushed to interfere, and shot a three-pointer.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
The Mavericks protected the backcourt rebounds, and Kidd took his time dribbling forward.
Haywood immediately stepped forward to coordinate the pick-and-roll.
At the same time, Nowitzki ran to the right side of the three-point line and provided Marion with an off-ball screen.
Kidd bypassed the screen and immediately hit the ball to the ground and passed it out.
On the other side, with the help of King Notre Dame's screen, Marion cut from the right toward the basket, received Kidd's pass, took a step forward, and flew for a layup.
At this moment, Sun Yi quickly rushed back, jumped into the air, stretched out his arms to hit the rising basketball.
Snap!
Pinboard hat!
The basketball was slapped by Sun Yi and bounced off the backboard.
Randolph, who rushed back to the penalty area, grabbed the rebound, found Curry immediately, passed the ball over, and then quickly ran towards the frontcourt.
Curry received the pass, quickly dribbled forward, came outside the three-point line to attract the defense, and hit the ball to the ground.
Randolph, who came from behind, received the pass, rushed into the penalty area, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
The ball transitions and the Mavericks attack.
Nowitzki came to the mid-range area on the right, leaning on Sun Yi and reaching for the ball.
Kidd, who was in control of the ball at the top of the key, immediately passed the ball over.
After receiving the pass, King Nuo immediately turned around and raised his hand to shoot.
Sun Yi immediately pounced on him and stretched out his arms to interfere, but he didn't see Nowitzki shoot and knew he had been fooled.
Nuo Tianwang shook Sun Yi away, immediately turned back, then released the ball and broke into the penalty area, rushed to the basket and flew for a layup.
In the next round, other Warriors players opened up space and created conditions for Sun Yi to play singles.
Sun Yi immediately started, made a forward change of direction, and then broke through to the right.
He did not use skills to shake off Marion, but engaged in the roughest head-on confrontation.
Marion had passed his prime, and his physical functions had declined across the board. He was unable to stop the young and strong Sun Yi, and was ruthlessly pushed aside to make way for him.
In the mid-range area on the right, Haywood saw this situation and immediately retreated into the penalty area to defend.
Randolph took this opportunity to cut towards the basket.
Sun Yi, who was walking, saw Haywood running forward to cover up the defense and immediately threw the ball out of the basket.
At the same time, Nowitzki quickly rushed to the basket. When he saw Randolph rushing to the basket, he did not continue to rush forward to serve as a backdrop, and immediately stopped.
Randolph came to the basket, jumped into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air, and dunked it into the basket.
It was the Mavericks' turn to attack, and through Kidd's command, they created a singles opportunity for Nowitzki.
At this stage, Nuo Tianwang has overcome his psychological shadow and is no longer afraid of Sun Yi's defense. His offensive effect has been greatly improved, and his fadeaway jumper is basically unsolvable.
In this round, Nowitzki shook his shoulders and made a fake move, then immediately turned forward and hit a mid-range jumper.
Sun Yi was a little helpless. He couldn't predict Nowitzki's next move and couldn't interfere with the shooting at all.
Although they couldn't stop Nowitzki from scoring, the Mavericks couldn't prevent the Warriors' offense.
In this round, Curry, Ellis and others contained the Mavericks' defense on the outside.
Sun Yi took the opportunity to cut along the baseline towards the basket, received the pass and rushed to the basket to complete a one-handed dunk.
In this way, Sun Yi and Nowitzki led the team forward in their own ways.
The Warriors' offensive tactics revolve around Sun Yi.
The Mavericks built their offense around Nowitzki.
Sun Yi's offensive method is a combination of sudden points. When the Mavericks shrink the interior defense, he will distribute the ball to assist his teammates to score.
If his teammates still don't have a chance, he will catch the ball and score by cutting in without the ball.
The Mavericks adopted a four-guarantee-one tactic, allowing Nowitzki to just score, while other Mavericks players created scoring opportunities for him.
Just like that, the second quarter ended with the score 55 to 57, and the Mavericks led by 2 points heading into the second half.
Sun Yi scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter.
Nowitzki scored 18 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.
In the second quarter of the game, Sun Yi and Nowitzki really started to compete!
