NBA: Defensive master, averaging five doubles per game

With a 3-0 lead, the Mavericks showed their demeanor as the No. 1 in the league in the regular season!

In the real-time odds predicted by experts to win the championship, the ranking also rose to third place behind the Spurs and Pistons.

......

However, two days later, when the Mavericks set foot on the Nuggets' home court for the second time, they encountered unprecedented pressure!

In G3, the Nuggets played quite tenacious, and although they lost in the end, they only lost.

Yes

, the Mavericks' scorers don't seem to be comfortable with the altitude in Denver, and the Mavericks' overall shooting percentage was clearly on the low side in the last game.

And in the second half, the Nuggets also relied on their crazy siege to the basket, causing huge damage to the Mavericks, and even making Long Fei, who was very explosive on the defensive end of G2, suffer foul trouble.

......

Because of this, the Nuggets almost won G3!

Now that it is G4, the Nuggets naturally want to continue and better implement the previous "key to victory"!

......

From the very beginning of the game, the Nuggets kept hitting the basket!

Camby hit Dampier hard, Martin attacked Nowitzki, and Anthony sank to the basket even if he couldn't stand the dragon.

Even if they are blocked and stealed

by Long Fei, they will not hesitate! After all, Long Fei will be whistled for a foul once or twice if he successfully defends!

As the saying goes, "how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet", Long Fei's aggressive blocks and steals need to reach out, as long as he stretches out his hand, he may foul.

Even if there is no foul, because of some blind spots, the referee on the scene will blow Long Fei for a foul.

And if Long Fei doesn't stretch out his hand and only interferes, in the basket area, first, the defensive efficiency will not be very high, and second, he will not be able to harvest data well.

As for Long Fei, naturally he is not the kind of timid character, Anthony played a few more times in the first quarter, although he was blocked and tackled a lot, but it also caused Long Fei to foul twice.

......

The foul trouble came again, even if Long Fei continued to be on the court, he could only restrain the aggressiveness of the defense and wait for the accumulation of [morale].

And the Nuggets, on the other hand, are becoming more and more resolute about impacting the basket.

Even Andre Miller, who is only 187 tall, began to attack the basket with the 191-year-old Nash!

......

Under the resolute onslaught of the Nuggets, the Mavericks trailed by five points at 23:28 in the first quarter.

This is also the first time since the series that the Nuggets have the advantage and initiative in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Nuggets "intensified" and still relied on impact to tear apart the Mavericks' already weak interior line.

Long Fei stepped up to block his opponent, but he quickly received his third foul.

......

At halftime, the Mavericks trailed by 12 points at 47:59.

The Nuggets saw the hope of victory, and their fans finally came alive!

"It's good to play like this earlier, and if you play a team like the Mavericks, you have to do the inside!" "

That's right, although they have super defenders, they can only lock the outside, and the defense inside is not good, we have a chance." "

Come on, win four games in a row and complete the Black Eight Miracle!" ......

In the third quarter of the game, the Mavericks played a Xi inertial attack wave, leveling the score in one fell swoop, and even overtaking by 1 point!

But at this critical moment, the referee became the protagonist on the court, blowing the Nuggets three times in a row 2+1, and the Nuggets once again established an advantage.

Finally, in the fourth quarter, the Mavericks fought to catch up in the second half, which once made Nuggets fans very nervous.

But with Dek Nowitzki's crucial three-pointer missed in the final moments, the Mavericks lost to the Nuggets 107-110 on the road and failed to sweep their opponents.

The big score came to 3-1, and three days later, the game will return to Dallas, the home of the Mavericks.

In this game, Long Fei controlled the foul trouble in the second half, and scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 6 blocks and 3 steals.

But compared to G1 and G2, his stats are significantly lower.

The reason, as the Nuggets coaching staff analyzed and observed, Long Fei's defensive radiation ability for outside offense is very strong, but for the kind of offense under the basket, his defensive presentation is not so rebellious.

It was on this basis that the Nuggets won a valuable victory.

At the same time, their coaching staff is also fantasizing about taking advantage of this and winning another away game, then the score will become 3:2, and if they return to the Nuggets' home court, they will have a chance to score a tiebreaker!

......

But apparently, this idea is too unrealistic.

After all, in the history of the NBA, there has never been a team that has fallen behind 0:3 and been able to win four games in a row and finally turn defeat into victory.

And the Mavericks, neither the coaching staff nor the management, cared too much about such a loss.

After all, the offensive attributes of the Mavericks dictate their instability, and the Nuggets have two consecutive home whistles, not every game.

Even two days later, the Mavericks executives felt that G4 lost even better than winning and sweeping the opponent!

......

What? Is it better to lose than to win? Is it better

to sweep the opponent 3:1 than 4:0?

No matter how it sounds, it is a little unrealistic.

But the fact is that earlier in the day of the start of the G5 game between the two teams, the NBA officially announced the winners of the main awards of the regular season.

The Mavericks became the biggest winners of the regular season, and they reaped the honor and made a lot of money.

If they sweep the Nuggets 4-0, then the next round of matchups will have to wait for the results of the series between the Rockets and the Kings.

And these regular season awards are given to the players on the spot at the game, which means that it will take several days before the awards can be presented on the spot.

But after G4's loss to the Nuggets, things were completely different.

On the evening of the same day, G5 was on the Mavericks' home court, and a grand award ceremony could be held.

Awards are announced in the morning, presented in the evening, and celebrated with the Dallas fans in the stadium.

It's much better than having to give the award many days later

......

! How outrageous are the Mavericks' player accolades in the regular season? Take a look at the list of winners!

The final winner of the regular season MVP is Steve Nash, who averages 16 points and 11.5 assists per game.

Of course, the first and second places in this award, which were originally Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash, have basically been swept by the Mavericks, but in the end, the second Nash overtook the first Nowitzki, which is somewhat surprising.

The All-NBA team was a while, with Nowitzki and Nash selected at the same time.

The best rookie was won by Long Fei, and there is not much suspense in this award, with the decline of Dwight Howard's data, and the Mavericks' record is too good, players like Okafor and the Bobcats' record are difficult to threaten Long Fei.

Best Defensive Player (DPOY), and finally won

by Long Fei! This award is still somewhat surprising, originally Ben Wallace of the Pistons was the most powerful contender for this award, but in the end he lost to rookie Long Fei.

Although Long Fei is historical in terms of defensive stats, Ben Wallace is also the defensive core of the defending champions, and most pundits are more optimistic about Ben Wallace, who has proven himself.

......

Now that he has won the DPOY, Long Fei has naturally entered the best defensive lineup.

Best Coach, won by Nelson Sr., of course, is not the first time he has won this award, this is the fourth time in his long and illustrious coaching career.

......

It is no exaggeration to say that the most important individual honors in the regular season were all won by the Mavericks, so you can expect how enthusiastic the awards scene will be in the evening!
