The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 235 Reasons You Must Win!
The performance of the Warriors in the second quarter will undoubtedly make these people complacent and feel that their judgment is very accurate.

During the regular season, every time the Warriors used outside shots to play a wave of offense, these people would selectively blind.

The only thing they can say now is that the Warriors haven't been able to prove themselves in the playoffs by shooting.

Even if the Warriors can beat the Mavericks, it doesn't count if it doesn't rely on shooting.

Even by shooting, a victory, a round of victory is not convincing.

After all, for them, the truth is only in their mouths, and they only believe in what they want to see.

After missing long shots one after another, Zhang Bolong directed the players to attack inside.

And the 'little general' is not a mediocrity. Seeing the Warriors' shooting percentage decline, before they made a big breakthrough, he replaced Diop and Dampier in turn to strengthen the inside defense.

"You won't fight for a long time, so don't reserve your energy. Before I replace you, keep me in a full-speed sprint state. Don't let the little man on the opposite side catch you and fight at a slow speed. You must hold on for a few minutes!"

Dampier and Diop are also very powerful, and the running of the two spared no effort to maintain a good offensive and defensive speed for the Mavericks.

In the second half of the game,
Richardson forced Terry and missed a layup.

Jackson's jump shot was cut by Howard,
Zhang Bolong's Phantom pulled the bar for a layup, the basketball spun around the rim and still slipped out...

With this formation, the Mavericks took the initiative on the field.

The Warriors' outside shots were inaccurate, and the inside breakthrough was restricted by the opposite high center forward, so they could only rely on limited opportunities to counterattack and fast break to score.

They made 17 of 5 shots in a single quarter, and basically had no offensive highlights.

The good news is that the Mavericks on the opposite side are also very strong. The two teams seem to be competing to see who can smash the opponent's basket first.

But the bad news is that although the Mavericks are iron, but at the same time they are iron, the inside line they put on the field guarantees their rebounds!
Those who win the inside win the world. In addition to the higher shooting rate of the inside, it also reflects the importance of rebound control to a certain extent.

The Warriors failed to protect the rebounds. The rebounds in a single quarter were exploded 9:21, and the offensive rebounds were 2:12 behind. The Mavericks got 11 more shots and also scored 15 in the second quarter: 21 leads.

At the end of halftime, the two sides battled to a 38 tie.

These two strong offensive teams can give such a low score at halftime, which shows how the scene is today.

If it was said before the game that the Warriors could tie the Mavericks in the first half, it should be completely acceptable.

But at this moment, everyone in the Warriors seems to have a bad face.

Because their performance in the second quarter is really hard to compliment.

They should be the ones leading!

Against a team like the Mavericks, if they can't grasp the limited opportunities, the Warriors will be cornered when the Cowboys turn around.

"If we continue to expect the Dallasites to put down their butcher knives and raise their hands high, we will be bloodbathed by them sooner or later!"

As the captain, Zhang Bolong also observed his players.

Fortunately, there was no timidity towards the Mavericks on their faces, only dissatisfaction with their performance.

"We can shoot or not, but we have to fight! Where is the bloodiness of your gangsters? Our rebounding performance in the second quarter was really bad, which even affected our offensive performance."

Zhang Bolong dared to say that because he set an example.

His halftime statistics were 7 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.

Points and rebounds are not normal stats.

In order to avoid the rebound being blown, most of his energy was put on the fight, and naturally he had no chance to score.

The 2 offensive rebounds were made by him in the long crowd, relying on his jumping ability just past the passing line, he snatched them alive.

But he didn't expect that he would have to work hard to get even a defensive rebound.

Even if it is running and bombing, it is a magic ball, it must be based on counterattack.

How to advance without the rebound guarantee after defense?

Old Nelson also affirmed Zhang Bolong's words.

"I hope everyone will not exhaust our captain to death."

It was like a joke, but no one laughed it off.

The players can clearly see how much effort Zhang Bolong has put in.

"Andris goes first, every rebound, at least a defensive rebound, I ask you to grab it desperately, at least get stuck in position, and help Long and Jason get the ball and counterattack."

"Understood, Coach!"

"Matt replaced Monta, playing your gangster spirit, and it is right to continue to attack."

"Also, help Long share the pressure in the second half. The Mavericks are expected to continue to maintain a shrinking inside play style. While breaking through, pay attention to the selection of the ball at any time. Others pay attention to putting Long on the block!"

"understand!"

……

"We have seen that players from both sides have continued to return to the game."

"The players of the Warriors are full of murderous spirits, with a look of displeasure, as if they are the No. 8 in the Western Conference who was tied by No. [-]."

"But it's true that they wasted too many opportunities."

"It's hard to find a time when the Mavericks played so abnormally. If the Warriors didn't take the opportunity to play in style, the Dallas people who came back to their senses are likely to directly establish the victory."

"I don't know what kind of wonderful performance the two sides can bring us in the second half."

In the third quarter, the Warriors had the ball.

Zhang Bolong stepped onto the court, ready to attack.

Just at the moment of catching the ball, he was suddenly attracted by a figure in the auditorium.

A small orange hat, worn on Rumo's shawl and long hair, proved her status as a Warriors fan.

The denim jacket on the upper body is paired with a yellow sweater, and the black long skirt on the lower body is also very ordinary and low-key.

If it weren't for a big toad mirror of the same style as his to cover half of his cheeks, Zhang Bolong probably wouldn't have been caught in the crowd.

This outfit reminded him of the first time the two met.

Also a pair of toad mirrors, a bold request.

"She is coming?!"

Zhang Bolong was taken aback,
This girl did say that she would come back to Lighthouse Country in April,
But I never disclosed the specific date to myself.
Whenever he asked, he said something to give himself a surprise.

Could it be that Sissy is here?

She came to my game?
Zhang Bolong's heart suddenly started beating violently.

This is not the same as the previous hard work and courage,
It's a strong desire for performance that only occurs in adolescence.

Eager to prove that he is the strongest on the field, full of drive and strength.

When the person you like may be paying attention to you, this feeling will burst out irresistibly.

He took a deep breath,

Next, dribble the ball heavily onto the floor.

"Now, there is one more reason why we must win."
