279 [The taste of the championship]
In the Dallas Mavericks locker room, Bayonet smiled. When the game entered the intermission with such a score difference, he was absolutely confident in winning the game.
And if they win this game tonight, the total score will be 2:0. For them, they are one step closer to winning the O'Brien Cup.
Therefore, he must express his inner happiness with a smile.
"Guys, listen, things are looking good for us right now, but it's not the time to celebrate yet, so we have to continue to be vigilant."
Rick Carlisle saw the excitement in the players' faces, and to a certain extent, he was excited too.
However, as the team's head coach, he must consider more.
………
"We are always being led by our opponents, and our offense and defense are like tofu..."
At the same time, in the Toronto Raptors locker room, Kawhi Leonard, who scored 18 points in the first two quarters, finally lost his temper.
Think about it a year ago, the reason why he came to the Toronto Raptors despite all the infamy was just for the championship.
But what about now?
He seems to be getting further and further away from this goal. He doesn't understand what's wrong with the team. It performed so well before, why did it immediately fail when they faced the Dallas Mavericks in the finals?
Yes, Kawhi Leonard admitted that there is indeed some gap between his team and the Dallas Mavericks in terms of physical strength.
But in his view, this gap is not irreparable.
In other words, even if we lose, we shouldn't lose so badly, right? We are 15 points behind in just two quarters. Is this the All-Star weekend?
In the eyes of the Toronto Raptors players, Kawhi Leonard is a quiet leader. Under normal circumstances, he would not act like this.
So if he does this at this moment, it can only mean one thing.
That's when Kawhi Leonard is really angry.
However, there was nothing they could do at this moment, especially Kyle Lowry, who looked very guilty.
He knows how badly he played in this series.
………
"Obviously, the wind vane of this finals has completely changed. The two teams are no longer evenly matched. The Dallas Mavericks have begun to control the rhythm of the game. For them, it is only a matter of time before they at least win this game."
Kenny Smith said with some regret.
He hoped to see the inseparable scene between the two teams, but the Toronto Raptors did not seem to give him this opportunity.
I originally thought that after losing the first game, the Toronto Raptors would rebound in this game, but what they ended up with was an even worse performance.
"Guys, it's time to stop complaining. Kyle Lowry did play poorly, but what we have to admit is, doesn't this just prove that the Dallas Mavericks are playing better? They have been playing well from beginning to end this season.
Shocked us”
"I must remind everyone that the Dallas Mavericks won 73 games in the regular season. They and the Golden State Warriors maintain the best record in the NBA in a single season. This represents hard power."
Charles Barkley roared, he was fed up with a lot of people complaining, because during this halftime, he saw a lot of criticism of the Toronto Raptors on the Internet, which made him very uncomfortable.
He feels this is a behavior that people don't have much respect for the Dallas Mavericks.
Because in his opinion, the Dallas Mavericks already have the ability to crush the Toronto Raptors. They have been doing this all season, and they have unique dominance.
………
At the beginning of the third quarter, the scene that made Toronto Raptors fans burst into tears was that Kyle Lowry finally recovered at this point, and his performance gradually returned to the level of an All-Star point guard.
However, it was too late, because the 15-point hole they dug in the first two quarters made them spend too much energy in the third and fourth quarters and ultimately failed to fill the hole.
so.
108:100!
The Dallas Mavericks won another victory, leading the finals series with a total score of 2:0.
Kyle Lowry, who has been criticized by people before, finally scored 26 points in this game, a stat that definitely seemed not bad, but he still failed to help the team win at the American Airlines Center Arena.
On the contrary, Luka Doncic, who was opposite him, shined in this game. His limelight even surpassed Bayonet. He scored 30 points in the game and became the best performer in the game.
players.
Luka Doncic is also the first first-year rookie to score 30+ points in the Finals in the past 20 years after Bayonet.
Through this game, people not only paid attention to the big news that the Dallas Mavericks were leading 2:0 with a total score, but they also became envious of the Dallas Mavericks.
Because having bayonets has already made the Dallas Mavericks very scary, and now with the addition of Luka Doncic, who has unlimited potential, how scary will the Dallas Mavericks be in the next few seasons?
Bayonet scored a triple-double of 26 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and 3 steals in this game.
In terms of his contribution to the team's overall win, he is still the best, and this triple-double is also very memorable for him. This is the first time in his career that he has scored on the finals stage.
Three pairs.
Two consecutive wins in the finals.
In the eyes of many people, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the Dallas Mavericks win the championship.
Of course, because Kyle Lowry is getting better, some people still feel that the suspense of this series is not over yet.
The next two games will be played at the home court of the Toronto Raptors. In their view, if Kyle Lowry can show his performance in the three and four quarters of the second game, then the Toronto Raptors may not be unable to win the game.
, after all, a normal Kyle Lowry will be a great blessing to the Toronto Raptors as a whole.
"There may be a chance, but to be honest, I am not optimistic about the Toronto Raptors. In my opinion, if they want to have the last laugh in this finals, then they must at least win one of the two games that have ended.
Victory, but in fact they didn’t do it”
Shaquille O'Neal shook his head. He has played in too many Finals during his career, and he knows what the situation of the entire series means to a winning team.
Even if the Toronto Raptors win their next two home games, so what?
The Dallas Mavericks have home court advantage due to their regular season record.
Chapter completed!
