against the front

Chapter 236 First Victory
The first game between the Mavericks and the Kings is definitely the most difficult game the Mavericks have played since they entered the playoffs. The Mavericks' opponent in the first round, the Jazz, not only does not have the strength of the Kings, but also lacks the Kings. Resilience, today's game, from the first minute of the game until the end of the game, the Mavericks have never been able to suppress the King in the situation and bring the game into their own rhythm.

Similarly, for the Kings, the Mavericks are also a far stronger opponent than the Trail Blazers. The whole game may only be in the last few minutes. After scoring 2+1 in a row, the Kings took control of the situation on the field and allowed the momentum of the game to develop in a direction favorable to them. Other than that, the Kings were basically at a disadvantage, or Evenly matched with the Mavericks.

"Scored 9 points in a row. In the 2 minutes just now, Yan Hua scored 9 points in a row. When Dirk Nowitzki came out to take over the game, Yan Hua not only hit back Dirk Nowitzki with 9 points in a row. Cisky also completely killed the Mavericks' counterattack momentum, trampled them under their feet, and couldn't stand up."

After Yan Hua stood up and successfully took over the game, Kenny Smith on the sidelines commentary was also flushed and excited. Yan Hua's last few attacks made Kenny Smith I thought of Hakeem Olajuwon back then, and the champion Rockets team I used to play for. At that time, whenever the Rockets faced desperation, Olajuwon, the leader and boss of the Rockets, would be like Yan Hua Just like that, stand up and defeat the opponent.

In 2 minutes, 5 of 4 shots, 10 of 2 free throws, Yan Hua not only scored [-] points in a row, but also made the Mavericks' two starting insiders through continuous offense, Eric Dampier and Sean Marion's six In the last few minutes of the game, Yan Hua's lethality and deterrence in the interior were fully revealed, and these [-] minutes were undoubtedly Yan Hua's exclusive performance moments.

105 to 99, with only 26 seconds left before the end of the game, and all six of the two insiders of the Mavericks committed fouls, the Mavericks have already lost in today's game. After a wave of MVP and King's loud shouts, the live broadcast camera also scanned the Mavericks players on and off the field one by one, and showed the audience in front of the TV as usual, showing the sentient beings of the losing side.

"Losing? We actually lost?" When Jason Terry missed a three-pointer and Serge Ibaka, who was fouled by the Mavericks, made two free throws, the game was completely over. Looking at the score on the scoreboard, and the Kings players who had already started celebrating, and the Kings fans on the scene, Rick Carlisle, who was standing on the sidelines, always had an unreal feeling because he was less than 3 minutes away from the end of the game. At the minute, Rick Carlisle still felt that his team had already won the game, but in an instant, the Mavericks missed the victory. Somewhat unacceptable.

Not only Rick Carlisle as the head coach, but the Mavericks players on and off the court, when the victory and defeat have been divided, their faces are obviously unwilling and disappointed.

When the game ended, the Kings players on the field did not leave the field directly, but started to celebrate on the spot. The Mavericks players on and off the field were all dead silent. In today's game, it cannot be said that they played well. Well, it cannot be said that their tactics were not used well. From the opening moment, the Kings were tactically disadvantaged and fell into the hole that Rick Carlisle dug for them, but the Kings got out of this big hole Crawled out from the inside and snatched away the victory that the Mavericks almost obtained, and the loss of this game also made Rick Carlisle take advantage of the king's unpreparedness and completely abort the calculation of hitting the king with a sap.

"Yan, you did a good job. I knew you could do it." After Yan Hua finished the celebration, he walked to the sideline with a smile on his face. The head coach Reggie Toyce gave Yan Hua a big Hugged, and patted Yan Hua's back while praising Yan Hua's performance in the game.

At the beginning of the game, Reggie Troyce was panicked to death, because he racked his brains before the game and came up with a strategy for dealing with the Mavericks and Nowitzki. It was spotted by the head coach of the Mavericks, Rick Carlisle. Not only that, but Rick Carlisle also made a very targeted arrangement.

Watching Dirk Nowitzki keep beating John Salmons on the court, Reggie Troyes' heart felt like being stabbed by a knife. It felt very uncomfortable for Reggie Toyce, and the game trend was completely deviated from the expected status quo, which also made Reggie Toyce at a loss for a while.

Although Reggie Troyce is no longer a rookie head coach, Reggie Troyce is still a long way from becoming a top coach, so he is not as good as Rick in terms of tactical arrangement and on-the-spot command. In the case of Carlisle, Reggie Troyes did not close his eyes and come up with all kinds of ghostly tactics to fight Rick Carlisle when he was helpless in the face of adversity. All pinned on Yan Hua, the decision to let Yan Hua solve the unfavorable situation on the court.

Some players can rely on their own personal ability to save the team, pull the team back from the brink of losing, and help the team defeat the opponent. Dirk Nowitzki under Rick Carlisle is like this, and The same is true for Yan Hua under Reggie Toyce.

You have Zhang Liangji, I have the wall ladder, relying on Yan Hua's performance in the minutes before halftime and the last few minutes before the end of the game, the Kings successfully defeated the Mavericks, although from both sides In terms of on-the-spot command and tactical layout, Reggie Toyce was at an absolute disadvantage, but Reggie Toyce's team still had the last laugh and won the game.

While Reggie Toyes and the off-field Kings players were still celebrating the victory, Kenny Smith on the sidelines commentary also began to announce the best player for today's game, 31 points, 14 With 9 rebounds, 3 assists, [-] blocks, and only one assist, Yan Hua was able to win the first triple-double of his career in the playoffs, and was elected the best player in today's game without any suspense.
