After the shower, Sun Hao attended the post-match press conference with the old Nelson.
Old Nelson was full of spirits, and his victory tonight made him let out a bad breath.
However, Sun Hao was relatively calm.
The Spurs are not the Timberwolves.
A 58-point victory is enough to defeat the confidence of the Timberwolves, but certainly not enough to defeat the Spurs.
It's like they took the Spurs in their first game at the beginning of the season, but after the regular season, the two teams also played 50-50.
What's more, they didn't win the Spurs by that many points.
And Duncan is not Garnett. If you regard low-key as weakness, then you really have a big misunderstanding of the 20-year rookie.
After a two-day break, the Mavericks and Spurs continued to open in San Antonio for the second time in the series.
The Spurs made adjustments on the offensive end, still relying on Duncan's inside and outside tactics, the difference is Duncan's position.
Originally, Popovich allowed Robinson to stand on the free throw line, and Duncan was able to play to their respective advantages.
But Duncan didn't have the advantage when he played against Sabonis in the interior, and he simply changed his position in this case.
Let Robinson stand in the three-second zone and let Duncan be at the free throw line!
After this adjustment, Robinson's performance did not change much, but Duncan was completely alive.
Because these inside lines of the Mavericks are all prepared for O'Neal, they are strong and move slowly. Battle and Collins are all of this type.
Duncan obviously does not rely on strength to play the game, his offensive space at the basket is small and easy to be restricted.
But if he launched the offense from the free throw line, he showed why he is the number one power forward in history.
Really better than offensive skills, Duncan is the most incomprehensible power forward.
All kinds of offensive skill show people have scalp numb.
At this time, neither Sabonis nor Lafrenz, Butler, Corinth, or Wang Zhizhi all worked.
Even Nowitzki and Kukoc at the 4th position can't hold it.
In the end, Duncan scored 32 points, 25 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks.
Scoring doesn't look much more than playing, but his shooting percentage is 11 of 22, and his influence on the game is completely different.
Under his leadership, the Spurs finally pulled back 98 to 91.
After two games, the series scored 1-1.
The good news for the Mavericks is that they have already grabbed home court advantage in the series.
The bad news is that if they can't solve the problems encountered in the second game, they are likely to be passive in the next games of the series.
On the night back to Dallas, Nelson and Harris were analyzing the format of the game.
Obviously, Duncan's performance is the most critical reason for the difference in the results of one or two games.
Although entering the league is the pinnacle, Duncan is actually improving, but because of his high starting point, his progress has been ignored.
His inside singles skills are becoming more and more mature, especially for throws and hooks on the move, and his grasp is much greater than in the past.
But Duncan was only 6 points between the first and second games, and that was not the decisive factor.
The decisive factor is the outside line of the Spurs.
In the second game, the Spurs scored 8 three-pointers, not many, but 5 more than the first.
Don't be surprised. Before the Spurs took three-pointers seriously, they averaged 3 to 5 in the playoffs.
Duncan opened up inside and got better chances from outside. The pitchers were more confident when they shot, and naturally they were more accurate.
The inside and outside tactics are the simplest and the most difficult to defend.
At the end of the discussion, the old Nelson tended to use zone defense Duncan to put the outside line, Harris tended to the previous balanced defense, but pay attention to double-teaming.
The two people did not reach an agreement, and until the next day, Old Nelson called the brains of Sun Hao and Nash to the office.
Nash didn't comment, he didn't know much about defense.
If you ask him to analyze how to break the Spurs defense, he may have more ideas.
However, Sun Hao gave his own understanding.
He approves of old Nelson.
"We are not a strong defensive team."
He got to the point.
With the Mavericks' defensive level, balanced defense may not be effective.
After all, although the opponent is still the Spurs, it is not the same as the Spurs they encountered last year.
Both the outside shooting level and the talent of outside players have improved a lot.
With the defensive level of the Mavericks, it is easy to lose sight of one and the other if they defend both.
At this time, it is better to selectively defend one side, defend the Spurs outside, or defend Duncan.
"Tim has done well, but the Spurs' three-pointers are still half-hearted."
What made Sun Hao choose to support old Nelson was the offensive threat judgment.
Duncan is not Garnett, you let him attack hard, his lethality is not much weaker than O'Neal.
But the Spurs' perimeter is different. Even if you let him shoot hard, at their current level, it is impossible to score 10+ three-pointers like the Mavericks.
What's more, the Mavericks can make up defenses, and they won't give them the opportunity to cast completely.
Old Nelson nodded in satisfaction after listening.
Sun Hao is not flattering, but it coincides with his idea, which makes him not like it.
Once there is a plan, then it is implemented.
With the attention of more than 20,000 fans in Dallas, the third game of the Mavericks and Spurs series opened at the National Airline Center Arena.
Neither side adjusted their starting lineups, and Duncan got the opportunity for the Spurs to take the lead.
Popovich found that the Mavericks adjusted their defense at the beginning, changing from man-to-man to 2-3 zone defense.
As soon as he saw this, his face showed joy.
This really treats the Spurs as the Spurs last year!
In the first round, Smith seized the opportunity and hit a three-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the left.
That's not a big deal. After a few rounds, Bowen seized the opportunity to hit another three-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the right.
In the first half of the first quarter, the Spurs scored two three-pointers, and the Spurs led the score 12-8.
In the commentary, Cole and Kenny Smith were discussing the Mavericks' defensive strategy, and the two had a difference in thinking.
Kenny Smith felt that the Mavericks' defensive approach was a bit too extreme.
Kerr said that with 48 minutes in the game, the Mavericks will slowly find opportunities.
Facts have proved that Cole is indeed a rare commentator.
His situation analysis was soon fulfilled in the following games.
With the increase in the number of outside shots the Spurs have taken, their field goal percentage has declined visible to the naked eye.
There is an instability in his outside shooting level and a decline in physical fitness, but it did happen.
And when this happened, Dallas fans saw a strange phenomenon.
The Spurs' outside line is breaking through!
Even rookie Parker also staged a ball that can be played in the future.
He missed an open three-pointer, shook the air and rushed in to give LaFrenz a block.
Sun Hao was inexplicably familiar with this scene.
In the history of the 2019 Men's Basketball Asian Championship, when the Chinese team played in Nigeria, there was such a scene.
At that time, the Chinese team rushed in with the ball on the outside line and rushed in for the empty seats. The fans were so anxious that they would depress the keyboard on the live broadcast.
However, there is only one reason for their refusal to vote.
Three-pointers can easily become long rebounds.
In other words, it is easy for the opponent to play a defensive counterattack.
The Mavericks are experts in this area. After being hit a few counterattacks, the Spurs dare not shoot from the outside.
Then, just like the performance of the Chinese team in the Asian Championships, the space on the field gets smaller and smaller.
Popovich was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he couldn't help it.
Although the Spurs attach importance to the three-pointer, it is not so easy to practice.
Because this is not a person's business, the Mavericks can have the current three-pointer level, is the old Nelson accumulated in Dallas for several years.
As a result, the Spurs felt hot outside the three-point line in the first quarter, but throughout the game, they shot 20 times, but only scored 5 goals.
Such a hit rate is obviously not enough to ensure that they win the game.
The Mavericks made another victory at home 96-83, rewriting the big score to 2-1.
"Sorry, I won another game."
The handshake ceremony after the game, when old Nelson and Popovich shook hands, smiled and said.
How angry Popovich is, how happy he is.
After the last game, he and his coaching staff had a headache, but after this game, it was Popovich and the Spurs coaching staff having a headache.
Two days later, the fourth game of the Mavericks and Spurs series is still in Dallas.
Before the game, both Mavericks fans and players looked a little excited.
As long as they win this home field, they will get the series match point.
Think about the scene of last year's tiebreaker and regret defeat, and then think about the scene of being able to stage a successful revenge, it is really hard to make people not excited.
And after the game started, Parker and Smith missed consecutive three-pointers, making them even more excited.
The Spurs opened the last game on time, but this one ended.
The Mavericks quickly established a lead.
Seeing it was a big victory.
At the critical moment, it was Duncan.
Stone Buddha was angry.
He opened a personal offensive mode in the face of zone defense.
The Mavericks' double-teaming and zone defenses didn't work.
If there are two insiders in the league that can ignore multiplayer defense in certain games, one is O'Neal and the other is Duncan.
Duncan scored 20 points at halftime to help the Spurs bite the score.
But in the second half, the Mavericks still opened the score a little bit.
The Spurs have Duncan, but they only have Duncan tonight.
Smith doesn't feel good outside, Parker and Ginobili are too immature.
In the end, the Mavericks had the last laugh 91 to 83.
Duncan had 31 points and 14 rebounds.
After winning this game, as the fans expected before the game, they took a 3-1 lead in a big score!
This revenge came faster than many people thought!
In TNT's latest issue of "NBA Insider", Cole and Kenny Smith also analyzed this round of the series.
"I very much agree with an old Chinese saying that failure is the mother of success."
After Cole said this sentence, he also explained why he knew this sentence.
His brother-in-law Fang Dewan is a well-known historian and sinologist, and a professor of modern Chinese history at the East Asian Institute of Cambridge University.
They sometimes talk about some Chinese culture.
"Because only after failure, we will look for the cause of failure, solve it, and then make it successful."
In his analysis, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks last year with a counterfeit defense, and even this season can become a 2-3 defense.
But the Mavericks' mid-range has improved significantly this year.
Sun Hao grew out of nothing, and Nowitzki's projection was much more stable than last year.
The Spurs use the same defensive tactics again, and the Mavericks can handle it calmly.
This is very critical for the Mavericks, which is the main offense.
Then, this year it was the Spurs' turn to encounter problems.
After Robinson got old, they didn't have a second stable scoring point except Duncan, especially the stable three-pointer from the outside.
"Don't leave the responsibility to this era, even the Bulls of the last century, they still have...me."
Cole even pretended to be forced.
In his opinion, the Spurs may be able to win another 1 or 2 games, but the Mavericks will finally get revenge and win the series.
But he also said in the end that losing this year's series is not necessarily a bad thing, just like last year's Mavericks.
Because he has seen Popovich's change and the Spurs' emphasis on three-pointers.
As soon as next year, the Spurs will have the strength to reach the top.
Kerr's analysis sounds very professional, but if he played for the Spurs later in his career, only time will tell whether he is poisonous.
After a two-day break, the Mavericks returned to San Antonio for the fifth game of the series against the Spurs.
This is also a match point for the Mavericks. As long as they win, they will have a successful revenge and are close to the Western Conference Finals.
However, in San Antonio, the Spurs, who had misfired two games, finally shot.
Smith scored three, Bowen scored two, and even Parker scored two, plus the Spurs made 9 of 20 shots from the outside and shot 45% from the field.
The Spurs pulled back a strong 98-91 at home, rewriting the big score to 2-3.
And this game has worse news for the Mavericks than losing.
After the game, Sabonis had sore knees.
Of these inside the Mavericks, Sabonis is the best performer since entering the playoffs.
His experience and personal ability were perfectly reflected in the game.
This also made the old Nelson unknowingly trust and rely on him more and more.
The most direct result is that his playing time is getting more and more.
This is not a good thing for a 37-year-old veteran.
When he returned to Dallas, Sabonis' situation did not improve, and the team doctor directly announced that he had been reimbursed for the season.
At the moment this news came out ~EbookFREE.me~ the situation of the series has undergone a subtle change.
Originally Sabonis was there and Duncan could only attack more from the free throw line.
Now that Sabonis is not there, it can be foreseen that in the following games, Duncan will be even more demanding in the interior.
Coupled with the recovery of the Spurs' outside feel, the Mavericks' promotion situation has become suspense again.
And the Spurs have home court advantage. If they can win Game 6 in Dallas, the tie-break will be played in San Antonio.
Coupled with the experience of winning the tie-break last year.
