On May 12th, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, today the Mavericks and the Thunder ushered in the third game of the series, after the two sides played 1-1, the Mavericks sat at home in this game, they must want to win in a row, and the Thunder also want to win to make up for the loss at home, the two sides played to the last moment, then let's talk about the game process, and then talk about the players' play.

Contest Recap:

At the beginning of the first quarter, Washington scored two points to give the Mavericks the lead, Chet and Dort combined for five points in response, Doncic and Gafford combined for four points, and then the game entered the rhythm of the Mavericks, and they ended the first quarter with a three-point lead led by Washington. In the second quarter, the Thunder quickly overtook the score under the leadership of Isaiah Joe and Jayway, and then the two sides alternated leads and played very close, but at the end of the quarter, Chet and Alexander combined for four points to help the Thunder overtake one point to end the first half.

The firepower of the Thunder continued unabated, and Giddey and Alexander led by 10 points at one point, but after that, Josh Green, Washington and other blue-collar workers scored successively to help the Mavericks catch up with the difference, and led by 4 points at the end of the third quarter. In the final quarter of the showdown, the Thunder kept biting the score under the leadership of Alexander, and he once chased it to only 3 points, but at the critical moment, Irving scored a difficult throw, and then Doncic hit one of two free throws, and the Mavericks defeated the Thunder 105-101.

Alexander did his best

After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' play, Alexander tried his best in this campaign, this series can be said to be a contest between Alexander and the opponent's top duo, Alexander shot 10 of 23 from the field, and 2 of 3 three-pointers got 31 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks.

In this game, Jay Wei shot 7 of 12 from the field, 1 of 2 from three-point range and got 16 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block, and Chet scored 13 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks on 5 of 9 shots. Isaiah Joe played well off the bench, scoring 13 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

However, Giddey was abandoned again, because Giddey is not good defensively, and he has been abandoned in the past two games, this time he played 13 minutes and scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and played 10 minutes and scored 8 points in the last game. He can't be blamed for his defense, he can't be blamed for his defense, and now he has to go to the front line as a result of a No. 1 position, and he will naturally suffer a loss against him, and Giddey will move slowly, and he will also be beaten by the opponent's list, judging from the current situation, Giddey may be the first of the four to be abandoned.

He is facing an early contract extension in the offseason, and the Thunder's No. 1 position with Alexander will inevitably not give Giddey a chance, in order to have a big contract extension in the future, Javy and Holmgren, as well as to make up for the shortcomings of the team's roster, Giddey may be traded away.

The Lone Ranger finds Thunder Buster

Just now we talked about the flaws of the Thunder lineup, their flaw is the lack of a qualified forward, Giddey can't do it, I thought Hayward could, but now Hayward has almost no scoring ability, and has scored 0 points in 7 games so far in the playoffs, so Daigneault can only abandon him, because there is no qualified forward, so this also gives the Mavericks' Washington more opportunities, he punished the Thunder with his interior killing and three-point shooting.

Since the last game, Kidd has deliberately increased Washington's possession, and he did not disappoint everyone, with 27 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists on 11-of-23 shooting and 5-of-12 three-pointers, and 29 points and 11 rebounds in the last game.

Doncic and Irving also continued their previous stable performance, Doncic is still too lonely sometimes, his mistakes at critical moments almost buried the team's good game, many times he should give Irving power, this game is not for Irving's fatal throwing, the Mavericks may be reversed, this game Doncic shot 7 of 17, 1 of 4 three-pointers got 22 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, but Doncic's ball quotient is indeed high, as the game deepens, he understands the opponent's style of play, and the defense has become better.

Irving continued his excellent performance, 10 of 17 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers and 22 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Under his tandem, Gafford had eight points and five rebounds, Lively had 12 points and eight rebounds, and Hardaway had eight points and two rebounds.

Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these two teams? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
