231 [The King of Heaven Battles]
"We have to put on the defense of the front line. Cameron Anthony's threat is too great. He has caused us too much trouble on the offensive end."
The fans couldn't see it, but this did not mean that the Golden State Warriors could not feel it either. They actually suffered a lot of losses in the first quarter of the game.
So, during the break between the festival, Stephen Curry expressed his opinion with a gloomy expression on the Warriors bench.
The head coach Steve Cole next to him nodded at this time. For him, the series itself was not as simple as expected.
He never had the luxury of defeating the Dallas Mavericks easily.
Especially the Bayonet. Although Steve Cole doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit that the terrifying pressure the Bayonet brought to him in the Western Conference Finals last season has not yet completely forgotten.
So, for him, facing the Dallas Mavericks and the Bayonets is the real peak showdown.
However, what Steve Cole didn't expect was that in addition to a very difficult bayonet, Cameron Anthony emerged.
Before this game began, he had studied the game when Cameron Anthony officially woke up in the first round of the playoffs.
In his opinion, Cameron Anthony's condition has indeed recovered, but to be honest, he does not think Cameron Anthony has returned to his peak level.
So, with this mentality, the game began.
Then, a first-quarter game that made him very uncomfortable was over.
Cameron Anthony became the guy who performed the most in the first quarter.
So, at this moment, he, Steve Cole, had to admit that he underestimated Cameron Anthony.
"Andre, I hope you can create huge resistance for Cameron Anthony. You once won the Most Valuable Player in the Finals in front of LeBron James, so I believe you will be able to handle Cameron Anthony."
Steve Cole turned around and handed the task to Andre Iguodala.
Although Andre Iguodala has not played much this season, he has become a substitute among substitutes, and his regular season data has also reached a career low.
However, everyone knows that Andre Iguodala is a playoff player. In other words, he will burst out shocking energy in the playoffs. From the perspective of Warriors coach Steve Cole, he even regards Andre Iguodala as a killer weapon in the playoffs, and even uses Andre Iguodala against the bayonets. Once Klay Thompson faces the bayonets, he actually intends to let Andre Iguodala defend the bayonets.
Although Andre Iguodala's performance was not very brainy when she defended the bayonet last season, no matter how he looked, he was the most suitable candidate for defending the bayonet.
But now there is nothing to do, and a Cameron Anthony suddenly appears, forcing him to change his plan to use Andre Iguodala.
The only thing that is thankful is that from the first quarter game, Klay Thompson's overall effect in defending the bayonet is pretty good.
"Clay, if you were asked to continue to defend the bayonet, would you be confident?"
Steve Cole chose to confirm further.
Klay Thompson nodded, but everyone could see that his expression was a bit solemn.
"DeMarcus, you have to believe in yourself and attack boldly. You must know that you were the first center in the league. DeAndrew Jordan is not your opponent at all."
Then, Steve Cole encouraged DeMarcus Cousins.
Since joining the team this season, DeMarcus Cousins has always performed well. To be honest, with his level before his injury, this performance is difficult to satisfy.
Therefore, Steve Cole placed his hopes in the playoffs, and he hoped that DeMarcus Cousins in the playoffs could truly play as an All-Star.
Judging from the first quarter, DeMarcus Cousins is in good shape. He was able to score 5 points against DeAndrew Jordan.
To a certain extent, DeMarcus Cousins' performance was beyond Steve Cole's expectations. After all, DeAndrew Jordan's ability on the defensive end is obvious to all.
DeMarcus Cousins is really full of possibilities for being able to get 5 points in his hands.
In this case, he certainly hopes to use some encouragement to make DeMarcus Cousins play more confidently.
Once DeMarcus Cousins is successfully activated, Steve Cole's confidence in defeating the Dallas Mavericks will be further enhanced.
A hot-formed DeMarcus Cousins will definitely make the Dallas Mavericks very passive in the interior.
Soon, the second quarter began, and Stephen Curry was replaced on the Warriors and led by Klay Thompson to continue playing. On the Dallas Mavericks, Cameron Anthony, who performed well in the first quarter, sat on the bench, not because of anything else, but because Cameron Anthony is no longer young now. He started the game in this game, and he naturally sat on the bench when he played the full first quarter.
Steve Cole on the Warriors naturally predicted this, so even though he, Andre Iguodala, went to defend Cameron Anthony, did not let him play at the beginning of the second quarter.
While Cameron Anthony was resting, the bayonet naturally continued to play. Relatively speaking, the bayonet was young on the one hand, but on the other hand, they did not attack much in the first quarter, and they were very physically abundant.
What everyone did not expect was that Dirk Nowitzki would be the one who replaced Cameron Anthony.
Dirknowski.
Judging from the name, even if he starts, it is not surprising, but it must be clear that judging from his playing time this season, he is also a substitute role.
"Haha, this is not surprising at all. Dirknowski has been in a semi-rest throughout the regular season. For him, a regular season break is enough. He has completed the most perfect rest."
"So, I mean, at this moment, if someone thinks that Dirk Nowitzki has no strength, then he must be a fool. To a certain extent, isn't he the killer of the Dallas Mavericks?"
"We have all seen that in the first quarter, DeAndrew Jordan did not perform very well when facing DeMarcus Cousins, but what if it were DeKnowski who came to face DeMarcus Cousins? I'm afraid the situation would be very different. Although DeMarcus Cousins is younger, DeKnowski also has his advantages..."
