Chapter 311 231 [Heavenly King Plays]
"We have to put up the forward defense. Carmelo Anthony is too much of a threat. He caused us too much trouble on the offensive end."
Fans can't see it, but it doesn't mean that the Golden State Warriors can't feel it. They really suffered a lot from Cameron Anthony in the first quarter of the game.
Therefore, during the intermission, the Warriors bench, Stephen Curry expressed his views with a gloomy expression.
And the head coach Steve Kerr beside him also nodded at this time. For him, this series itself is not as simple as he imagined.
He never had the luxury of beating the Dallas Mavericks easily.
Especially the bayonet, until now, although Steve Kerr didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the terrifying pressure that the bayonet brought to him in the Western Conference Finals last season has not completely forgotten him until now.
Therefore, for him, facing the Dallas Mavericks and the bayonet is the real peak matchup.
However, what Steve Kerr did not expect was that in addition to a very difficult bayonet for the entire Dallas Mavericks, another Cameron Anthony emerged.
Before the start of this game, he had studied the game in which Carmelo Anthony officially awakened in the first round of the playoffs.
In his opinion, Cameron Anthony has indeed recovered, but to be honest, he does not think that Cameron Anthony has returned to his peak level.
So, with this mentality, the game started.
Then, a first quarter that made him very uncomfortable was over.
Cameron Anthony became the guy who played the brightest in the first quarter.
Therefore, at this moment, he, Steve Kerr, must admit that he underestimated Cameron Anthony.
"Andre, I hope you can create great resistance for Cameron Anthony. You once won the Finals Most Valuable Player in front of LeBron James, so I believe you will be able to handle Cameron Anthony"
Steve Kerr turned around and handed the task to Andre Iguodala.
Although Andre Iguodala didn't play much this season, he has become a substitute among the substitutes. His regular season data has also reached a career low.
However, everyone knows that Andre Iguodala belongs to the kind of playoff player. In other words, he will explode with shocking energy in the playoffs. From the perspective of Warriors coach Steve Kerr , He even used Andre Iguodala as a killer in the playoffs, and even used Andre Iguodala to deal with the bayonet. Once Klay Thompson faced the poor defense of the bayonet, He actually intended Andre Iguodala to defend the bayonets.
Although Andre Iguodala's performance was not very mind-blowing when he defended the bayonet last season, but no matter how he looks at it, he is the most suitable candidate to defend the bayonet.
It's just that there is no way now, a Cameron Anthony suddenly appeared, so he had to change his plan to use Andre Iguodala.
The only good news is that from the first quarter of the game, Klay Thompson's overall effect of defending the bayonet is not bad.
"Clay, if you are asked to continue to defend the bayonet, do you have the confidence?"
Steve Kerr opted for further confirmation.
Klay Thompson nodded, but everyone could see that his expression was a bit dignified.
"DeMarcus, you have to believe in yourself and attack boldly. You must know that you were the number one center in the league. DeAndre Jordan is not your opponent at all."
Then, Steve Kerr encouraged DeMarcus Cousins.
Since DeMarcus Cousins joined the team this season, his performance has been quite satisfactory. To be honest, with his pre-injury level, this performance is hardly satisfactory.
Therefore, Steve Kerr pinned his hopes on the playoffs, and he hoped that DeMarcus Cousins in the playoffs could truly play the style of an All-Star.
Judging from the first quarter of the game, DeMarcus Cousins is in a good state. He was able to score 5 points in the face of DeAndre Jordan.
To a certain extent, DeMarcus Cousins' performance exceeded Steve Kerr's expectations. After all, DeAndre Jordan's ability on the defensive end is obvious to all.
DeMarcus Cousins can get 5 points in his hands, it is really full of possibilities.
In this case, he certainly hopes to use some encouragement to make DeMarcus Cousins play more confidently.
Once DeMarcus Cousins is successfully activated, Steve Kerr's confidence in defeating the Dallas Mavericks has been further improved.
A hot DeMarcus Cousins inside will definitely make the Dallas Mavericks very passive.
Soon, the second quarter began. On the Warriors side, Stephen Curry was replaced for a rest, and Klay Thompson led the team to continue playing.As for the Dallas Mavericks, Cameron Anthony, who performed well in the first quarter, sat on the bench, not because of anything else, just because Cameron Anthony is no longer young, and he is the starter in this game itself. After playing the first quarter of the game, it is natural to sit on the bench.
Steve Kerr on the Warriors' side naturally predicted this, so even if Osai Andre Iguodala went to defend Cameron Anthony, he didn't let him play at the beginning of the second quarter.
With Cameron Anthony resting, Bayonet naturally continued to play. Relatively speaking, Bayonet was young on the one hand, and on the other hand, he didn't attack much in the first quarter, and he was very physically fit.
What everyone didn't expect was that Dirk Nowitzki would replace Cameron Anthony.
Dirk Nowitzki.
Judging from the name, it is not surprising even if he starts the game, but it must be clear that judging from his playing time this season, he is also a substitute role in the substitute.
"Haha, this is not surprising at all. Dirk Nowitzki has been in a semi-truce throughout the regular season. For him, a regular season rest time seems to be enough. He has completed the most perfect recuperation. sharp"
"So, I mean, at this moment, if anyone thinks that Dirk Nowitzki has no strength, then he must be an idiot. To a certain extent, he is not the killer of the Dallas Mavericks."
"We have all seen that in the first quarter of the game, DeAndre Jordan did not play very well against DeMarcus Cousins, but if it is Dirk Nowitzki to face DeMarcus Cousins What about DeMarcus Cousins? I’m afraid the situation is quite different, although DeMarcus Cousins is younger, but Dirk Nowitzki also has his advantages..."
Charles Barkley looks confident in Dirk Nowitzki.
