Everyone has seen the series between the Thunder and the Mavericks, it can be said that it is quite lively, and everyone is ready to rush forward. Now after coming to Tianwang Mountain, both sides are nervous, and of course there is also the possibility of a big score. In any case, the fifth Tianwang Mountain game will have a different effect. Before the start of the Mavericks, Kidd officially ordered, and Doncic was full of confidence and missed the Thunder once.
As the coach of the team, Kidd's performance in this year's playoffs is not without highlights, and the adjustments after each loss are quite in place. Since the first round, the Mavericks have won two in a row after losing. So next, you can look forward to Kidd and see how he performed in the Tianwang Mountain competition. No matter from which point of view, the Mavericks can renew Kidd's contract because they actually fancy his own ability, and they know that Kidd is really in stock.
Before the start of Game 5, Kidd's side also made a request for an order, bluntly saying that the team must do better in terms of free throws. Kidd wasn't wrong, the G4 Mavericks lost to a certain extent on the free throws. The Thunder made 23-of-24 free throws, while the Mavericks made 12-of-23 free throws, and the gap was too great. The Mavericks can get free throws, but they need to respond from the free throw line, otherwise it's a mistake on another level. Just look at their performance in Game 5.
Doncic, the core of the team, is also quite clear, and he also issued orders and requirements for the team. Doncic bluntly said that sometimes, he should go to the trap Alexander. As far as this matter is concerned, the Lone Ranger can consider. Alexander averaged 30+ points per game in this series, and if the Thunder can wrap up Alexander, it will also be a good strategy. Look at the Lakers vs. the Thunder, it's the rhythm of the game that makes them very uncomfortable.
Irving, as the core of the team, can be said to be at a loss when he talks about the series. Owen bluntly said that he knows where he is, and he just needs to stay calm and calm in the game. Owen is right, the next game is to see the determination of both sides, and their respective routines have been figured out. Irving is a championship defender, and he now knows how to do it and what message to convey. Irving, who plays well, is definitely the top defender in the league.
In addition, we have to know that the Thunder and the Lone Ranger G4 have two missed judgments. The first time was related to the Lone Ranger, and Owen walked without blowing. The second time was related to the Thunder, and Dort stepped on the line and did not blow. In addition, the Mavericks' early foul, the referee also blown late. There have been omissions on both sides, and it cannot be said who loses and who takes advantage. Of course, if the Mavericks can improve the quality of their free throws, they may really not have to hit Tianwang Mountain to get the match point.
