NBA: Defensive master, averaging five doubles per game

When a team wins three games in a row in a playoff series, the whole momentum will be completely on their side

! At this time, the Mavericks are obviously already in full swing!

I have to say that this round of the series between the Mavericks and the Rockets is really surprising.

From the beginning, the Rockets won two consecutive away games, which made fans across the United States feel that the Mavericks are just "regular season dragons, playoff bugs".

After that, the Mavericks also won two away games strongly, and won at home against Tianwang Mountain, winning three games in a row to get match points.

If the Mavericks still haven't found their form in the first two games of the series, then the next three consecutive wins are completely on the right track!

There is a clear dividing line between the two different directions.

That is, after the team's head coach Nelson Sr. was absent before G3 due to illness, the team's defensive coach Avery Johnson replaced Nelson Sr. and changed the team's main offensive style to a balanced offense and defense, or rather, more emphasis on defense!

In the battle of G5 Tianwang Mountain, although the old Nelson returned, on the night of the game, he only sat on the sidelines, and the scene was still commanded by the little general.

With such a huge contrast, fans started to discuss it.

"It seems that the old Nelson's pure offensive system is really not good, it is good to look good, and it is really difficult to win.

"It's not wrong to defend to win championships, old Nelson is too old to give command to the youngsters, and that's no problem.

"I think Nelson Sr. can concentrate on his job as general manager and then promote Avery Johnson to head coach, after all, he trained it single-handedly!"

......

All voices are almost in support of the junior general Johnson.

And the old Nelson is also very generous about this, he even encouraged the little general: "Avery, do a good job, continue to work hard, lead the team to win the game, G6 I will continue to watch you perform!" has won three games in a row, and the little general Johnson is also full of confidence at this time, it seems that the "mentor" old Nelson seems to be really relieved to give him command, and immediately, he will not shirk: "Okay, Coach Donnie, I will lead the team to victory!" ......

Three days later, the Mavericks are once again on their way to Houston!

Unlike the last time they came here with a score of 0:2, this time the Mavericks did not stand on the edge of the cliff, they came with the belief of qualifying.

As for Team Rocket, it's time to fight on their backs.

2:3 behind, that means that this game cannot be lost, once lost, then the playoffs are over.

For this reason, Van Gundy prepared a game plan for them!

But in fact, the series has reached this point, and the two sides already know each other, and it is difficult to change the tactics.

As for the Rockets, they have tried to play offense, defense, offensive and defensive balance, and even the strong confrontation style of play has been tri......ed

Originally, their team's style of play was relatively fixed, nothing more than the Yao Mai combination to play, except for the two of them, it was difficult for other role players to stand up.

As a result, the Rockets' tactics won't change much.

......

Before the game, he encouraged the players and said: "Listen, boys, we've been very successful this season, we've reached the semi-finals and we're close to advancing to the Western Conference Finals, but unfortunately we didn't take our chances...... But this is a very good start, and I believe that in the future, we will go further...... So, if we lose tonight, we must be discouraged, because we will come back one day and stand at the highest point!"

......

Since even head coach Van Gundy has no determination to win, how can

the Rockets break the boat? At the beginning of the G6 game, the Rockets played well in the cheers of the fans.

Yao Mai also played their perfect duo for the first time in the series, scoring back-to-back points to take an eight-point lead at one point in the opening stanza.

But with the end of the first quarter, after Long Fei's almost punctual defensive end outbreak began, the Mavericks began their strong pursuit of points! At the end of the first half, the Mavericks

were already 56:51, leading by 5 points.

......

This rhythm is almost the same as the previous three losses, and the Rockets have always been able to get off to a good start, but as the game progresses, the depth of their entire roster is far behind the Mavericks' disadvantage, which is undoubtedly highlighted.

It's clear that the cheers at the Toyota Center aren't as frenetic as they were in previous games, and perhaps the Houston fans are aware of the Rockets' end.

......

In the second half of the game, it was difficult for the Rockets to play competitively.

In the first five games, he averaged 33 points and 12 rebounds per game, and he has played the style of the league's No. 1 center!

Tonight, he really can't do it, and his originally accurate close-range shots are also frequently iron.

So far, he's only scored 12 points.

As for Maddie, when he was blocked by Long Fei to an average of only 15 points per game, this game finally played a little more freely, with accurate long-range shots and the referee's "care", he scored on the free throw line, and he finally scored 25 points in the third quarter tonight.

But the Rockets are already a little out of the way.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks were 89-64 on the road, opening up a huge 25-point difference.

......

If the Rockets were able to keep up with the Mavericks in previous games, tonight, they were completely broken.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Maddie and Da Yao sat on the bench, their eyes blank, and they were probably doomed.

In the end, the fourth quarter of the game was reduced to garbage time, and neither side played again.

The Mavericks defeated the Rockets 106:89 in the final battle, thus eliminating the opponent 4:2 and marching into the Western Finals!

......

The Dragon Country Derby has finally come to an end, and for the majority of Dragon Country fans, such a result is somewhat regrettable.

After all, the Rockets they support the most, the most optimistic Da Yao, lost.

But the good news, Long Fei and the Mavericks are still moving on!
