On May 16th, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and today the Thunder sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Mavericks, before this game, the two sides played 2-2, who can win, then will win the match point closer to the West finals, this campaign Doncic also played the best performance in the series so far, he and Alexander played against Biao, and then let's talk about the game process first, and then talk about the players' play.

Contest Recap:

At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Doncic scored two points to give the Mavericks the lead, Alexander and Chet led the team to play a wave of 8-0 climax, Doncic and Irving teamed up to respond with a wave of 9-0 climax response, after which the two sides fell into a stalemate, and the Mavericks led by 2 points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Irving broke through and responded with five points from Dort and Giddey, and then the game entered the time of the Mavericks, led by Doncic, they led by 15 points at one point, but at the end of the quarter, Alexander scored consecutive points to help the team chase down to 10 points to end the first half.

Alexander scored five straight points to help the team narrow the margin to single digits, but the Mavericks quickly established a double-digit lead under Irving's control, and the difference between the two sides has been around 10 points since then, and the Mavericks led by 12 points at the end of the third quarter. Although Alexander once led the team to chase only 8 points in the final quarter, Doncic led the team to establish an 18-point lead, and the game lost suspense, and finally the Mavericks defeated the Thunder 104-92 to win the match point.

Doncic regains his touch

The main reason why the Mavericks were able to maintain their lead for a long time in this game is that Doncic has found his form, he shot 12 of 22 from the field, 5 of 11 from three-point range and got 31 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

Irving also swept away the slump of the past two games, this campaign played better aggressiveness on the offensive end, 5 of 11 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers got 12 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, although Washington did not play much on the offensive end, but he found a good vacant teammate, made a pass, worthy of being a template Dream Green player, it is indeed very complete, he got 10 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in 4 of 9 shots in this campaign.

In this game, Jones replaced the role of Washington, he stood up very well on the offensive end to help the double core, this game Jones shot 7 of 9, 3 of 5 three-pointers and got 19 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, Kidd's rotation in this game was too unwise, he let Hardy play, it didn't play a role at all, he got 2 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists on 1 of 5 shots, so it was better to play and give Exum a chance to play.

After winning this game, the Mavericks also won Tianwang Mountain, and now they can be regarded as one foot in the division finals, if they can grasp the home court in the next game, then they will advance to the division finals.

Alexander was restricted

I have to admire Alexander, as long as the opponent dares to defend alone, he can eat alone, and the scoring stability is too good, but although the Mavericks in the third quarter of this game let Alexander get more opportunities to play singles because of laxity, but in the fourth quarter they implemented the strategy of pinching Alexander, which also made Alexander fail to break out in the final quarter, only scored 6 points, but the opponent pinched him most of the time, Alexander also scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, which is also powerful enough.

In this game, the Mavericks found a way to target the Thunder, that is, to pinch Alexander, they will defend Alexander alone on the outside, as long as he enters the free throw line, the opponent will help defend in place, because the space is small Even if he passes, the Mavericks can also do a good job of changing defenses, this game Kidd's change strategy is very good to limit the play of other players in the Thunder, the three-point team Thunder three-point total 40 shots 10 in this game, very inefficient.

In addition, in addition to Alexander, the other players also played badly, although Jay Wei got 12 points and 6 rebounds, but used 13 shots in the whole game, Holmgren shot 5 of 11, 1 of 5 three-pointers got 13 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, neither of them brought much help to Alexander, Dort got 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and Giddey played 11 minutes off the bench and scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, doing his best.

Although the Thunder lost to the Mavericks twice, the two sides still played in suspense, after all, Alexander was powerful enough, but now the most feared thing of the Thunder has happened, Doncic got rid of the injury, he was able to bomb Alexander, so the advantage of the Thunder is gone, and the opponent's role players are more mature, and stars like Irving are in charge, the Thunder is also passive, and they are likely to be eliminated by the Mavericks, but a youth army can reach the current height is also commendable.

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