Nba: Load Doncic Template After Being Banned

Playing on the home court of the Spurs, the situation is completely different from the American Airlines Center in Dallas!

At this point, whether it is Wang Zhi or other players, they all feel this way.

The fans here are not at all like the frenzy in Dallas, and the cheers will not be given to them.

The start failed to score twice in a row. On the contrary, Manu Ginobili of the Spurs relied on the power of the home court and scored 4 points in a row, taking a huge lead on the scene.

Want to win at home in the Spurs, for the Mavericks, this is definitely a problem.

Obviously, the Spurs are not only strengthening their offense today, they are also tougher than ever on the defensive end!

Stephen Jackson put a lot of pressure on Dirk Nowitzki's defense, no matter where he was, he made full use of the handcheck rule.

This kind of tracking defense rules that can sense the opponent with hands makes it easier to defend outside players.

At the same time, 04 also makes the defense sometimes very controversial by allowing contact when defending off the ball.

For example, when Stephen Jackson is defending Dirk Nowitzki, he will secretly add strength to his hands in order to completely block Dirk Nowitzki's route and cause interference to him!

Although Dirk Nowitzki was annoyed, he could only vent his dissatisfaction by reaching out and knocking off the defender's arm.

Or, when the ball is dead, complain and complain to the referee.

But obviously, such complaints are always to no avail.

The reason why the Spurs dared to put up such a high-intensity defense is that today is a home game.

As we all know, there is such a term as the home whistle in the NBA.

When a team is playing at home, they tend to get more whistles than when they are away.

This statement is not absolute, but most of the time it is applicable.

There are many factors that affect the home whistle. In a word, after the players and the coaching staff sum up the rules, they will be more aggressive when playing at home.

The strength of the Spurs' defense has caused a lot of trouble for the Mavericks, and Wang Zhi's inaccurate shooting today, in the first quarter, he gave the ball to his teammates more often to create opportunities for them

to attack.

Thus, in the first quarter, Wang Zhi had only 4 shots, 1 hit, and only scored 3 points.

The overall performance of the Mavericks is not good, 21:27 in the first quarter, 6 points behind.

The good news is that the Spurs don't seem to be feeling too well either.

Except for Manu Ginobili who scored 13 points in a single quarter relying on a breakthrough like he had been beaten with chicken blood, most of the rest of the players also hit iron.

The game began to become difficult, but all of this was still within the old Nelson's expectation.

Before going to San Antonio, he told the players that the next G5 will be very difficult to play.

To win the Spurs at home, in addition to courage, you also need some luck.

But obviously, today's luck is not on the side of the Mavericks.

The second quarter was supposed to be the one where the Mavericks recovered the score and even widened the gap.

But in this quarter, their mistakes increased.

The nerve knife Van Exel on the bench feels pretty good. After playing, he scored 4 points in a row, which once gave the Mavericks the hope of chasing points.

But since then, under the high-pressure defense of the Spurs, he began to make consecutive mistakes.

And once a mistake is made, it will give the Spurs a chance to fight back.

After a while, the Spurs opened the score again.

Later, although the Mavericks changed back to the main lineup, the effect was not good.

After the first half, the Mavericks were 11 points behind in the away game at 46:57.

I have to say, 46 points in the half, for the Mavericks, this is too unqualified!

You know, they are the team with the most offensive firepower in the league.

In the previous games, even against the strong defensive Spurs, they could score as high as 110 or even 120 points.

But in this game, the Mavericks' halftime scoring was limited to less than 50 points. It seemed that the Spurs' defense was very successful.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Wang Zhi, who played so-so in the first half, finally found his way in the second half.

Even in the face of Bowen's defense, he can score consecutively.

Step-back three-pointers, breakthrough throws, feints at the basket...

Wang Zhi used various offensive methods to show his talent.

However, he didn't stay on the road for long, and the Spurs immediately double-teamed him resolutely!

Ever since he lost in G4 and was bombarded with 50 points by Wang Zhi, Popovich never dared to underestimate this boy from the Dragon Kingdom!

No more unlimited shots for him!

Before this game, Popovich made defending Wang Zhi the first priority of the Spurs' defensive strategy!

Its priority is even higher than that of Dirk Nowitzki!

Then, it became obvious that Wang Zhi was double-teamed when he got the ball on the field.

In the third quarter of the game, the Spurs once again showed their defensive oppression, and began to slow down, playing positions every round!

Although the Mavericks also double-teamed Duncan, Manu Ginobili, who was good at breakthroughs and dared to use his "face" to open the way, stood up again, made a crazy breakthrough in a single quarter and scored 7 free throws!

In this quarter, Ginobili scored another 15 points!

After three quarters, the Mavericks' trailing score has come from 160 to 18 points.

The last quarter of the game, although the Mavericks tried to set off some counterattacks.

Nowitzki also hit two three-pointers in a row, giving the team some hope.

But then, it was Manu Ginobili who also made two three-pointers, and the hopes of the Mavericks chasing points were finally shattered.

In the end, the Mavericks lost to the Spurs 91:108 away.

In this game, Manu Ginobili of the Spurs showed his prowess. With 13 of 15 free throws at the free throw line, he scored a game-high 42 points!

Duncan scored 15 points, 19 rebounds and 5 blocks, which was also impressive.

As for the Mavericks, Michael Finley scored the highest 26 points, and Wang Zhi performed poorly in this game, scoring only 16 points.

In addition, Nowitzki 21 points, Nash 14 points and 8 assists.

Obviously, this game is Manu Ginobili's salvation, his explosive personal performance helped the team win the game, for his fatal mistake at the last moment of G4

It is also a kind of compensation.

After this battle, the total score of the two sides came to 3:2. The Spurs recovered a crucial point, but their danger alert has not been lifted.

In the next G6, the two sides will move to Dallas to fight again.

If the Spurs can't win the Mavericks away, they will still be eliminated. .
