273 [My youth is back]
At the beginning of the third quarter, it was obvious that the Toronto Raptors had woken up after a short intermission, and they no longer specifically targeted Carmelo Anthony.
Because they can't afford to gamble.
Once Carmelo Anthony was surprising on the defensive end all game tonight, it would be a crime for them to continue to be very stubborn in locking down the offensive gap with Carmelo Anthony.
Of course, the Toronto Raptors also found some good offensive methods. For example, in the third quarter, Siam relied on his excellent athletic ability to complete several breakthroughs. At one point, he helped the Toronto Raptors even the point difference.
.
Bayonet knows very well that when the score is still deadlocked, the entire third quarter is actually particularly important.
Therefore, he clapped his hands and signaled everyone to cheer up and concentrate. They must not let their opponents find the rhythm of their attack.
This is the case in the small ball era. Even if it is the finals, once a certain team finds its offensive rhythm, the points difference will be instantly widened. To put it bluntly, it is just a matter of a few three-pointers.
The Dallas Mavericks have many outstanding defensive players, which even the Toronto Raptors cannot match.
Therefore, in this case, under the leadership of Bayonet, when the Dallas Mavericks played the highest level of defense in the entire game tonight, the Toronto Raptors' offense took a big blow.
Even Kawhi Leonard, who has always been known for his stability, has made mistakes and made mistakes one after another under this kind of defense.
Toronto Raptors head coach Nurse was decisive enough. After returning from a timeout, the best offense was defense. The Toronto Raptors also suddenly increased their defensive intensity.
Although slightly inferior to the Dallas Mavericks, the Toronto Raptors' defense is also extremely terrifying.
In this case, the Dallas Mavericks are naturally not very good at it.
Everyone praised and applauded. The two teams really lived up to their names. They played an extremely exciting match in tonight's game.
If the tone of the first quarter is testing each other, and the tone of the second quarter is sharp offense, then the main tone of the third quarter at this moment is iron-blooded defense.
For a full 6 minutes, neither team scored more than 10 points. The entire game looked extremely intense.
Led by Bayonet and Kawhi Leonard, two superstars who are already strong defensive players, the two teams will go all out for every offense and defense.
"My youth is back, I seem to see the shadow of the Hukai war in 2010"
78:73!
After the third quarter of the game, when the score difference between the two sides was fixed at this data, many people said with emotion.
Charles Barkley's expression was a bit exaggerated. As a player who did quite well in the bloody era of the 1990s, he had a genuine and clear feeling of deja vu at this moment.
He basked in the glorious years that only belonged to that era from the defensive battle between the Dallas Mavericks and the Toronto Raptors in the third quarter.
In fact, he had not thought of this before the game started.
In recent years, as the small ball era has taken the league by storm, the iron-blooded defensive style of play has long since disappeared.
Although the Dallas Mavericks and Toronto Raptors, the two teams that advanced to the Finals, both seem to have very good defensive capabilities.
But in Charles Barkley's view, even in this case, it is unlikely that these two teams will stage a decisive defensive battle in the finals.
However, he did not expect that this kind of scene that he did not think would appear actually appeared.
"I originally thought that the 2010 Lakers-Kevin War was the last belief in traditional basketball, but tonight, Bayonet and Kawhi Leonard jointly told me that after experiencing the small ball era, the NBA is returning to its original appearance."
"So, please start the game immediately. I am looking forward to the showdown between the two teams in the last quarter."
Charles Barkley adjusted his sitting posture. He was really looking forward to how the fourth quarter would play out and what result it would end with as the first three quarters were exciting.
During the break, the on-site cameras covered Bayonet and Kawhi Leonard respectively.
The bayonet in the camera is sweating profusely and has a cold expression, but everyone can see that the bayonet is really reaching the limit in this game. This is also the first time that people have seen the bayonet being used in the playoffs this season.
The force was so miserable, maybe even the 63 points scored in the previous game against the Golden State Warriors cannot be compared to this game.
On the other side, Kawhi Leonard's situation was not much better. Sitting on the bench, Kawhi Leonard kept breathing heavily. Like the bayonet, he was also severely restricted.
"So, the fourth quarter of the game is a competition of resilience between the two teams, a showdown of perseverance between the two teams. At this time, whoever can be more ruthless will have the last laugh."
Although the Toronto Raptors are 5 points behind, but again, as long as they are not behind by a big score, a lag of less than 10 points does not have much reference value.
"Jiang, how do you feel?"
Head coach Rick Carlisle patted Jiang Hao's shoulder. His right eye was obviously red and swollen. During a breakthrough layup in the third quarter, his right eye was fouled.
This is actually just a microcosm. When the competition reaches this level, it’s not just the right eye that has the bayonet violated.
“I feel fine”
Jiang Hao said.
In this case, the fighting desire to win has overtaken everything else. Now all he can think about is winning the game no matter what. As for other things, he has already ignored them.
From a bayonet point of view, all his teammates performed well in this game. As the leader of this team, he does not want to disappoint everyone, so no matter what, he will go all out to win this game.
Down.
For this reason, he directly rejected Rick Carlisle's rest instruction because he knew that Kawhi Leonard on the opposite side was also very tired at this time. He also knew that Kawhi Leonard would not rest in this situation.
.
Although the fourth quarter will be very difficult, for Jiang Hao, this is not an opportunity.
Both teams are on the verge of collapse. If he sits on the bench at this time, wouldn't that give the Toronto Raptors a chance?
On the other hand, if he continues to lead the charge, why not have a chance to tear a hole from the Toronto Raptors?
Chapter completed!
