NBA: Defensive master, averaging five doubles per game

There is no doubt that the biggest contributor to the Mavericks' G4 win is Long Fei, who has no one!

Although on the offensive end, the whole team scored 117 points, Long Fei only scored 17 points, just a fraction.

Nowitzki, Nash, Finley and Terry combined for 83 points.

But obviously, the secret of the Mavericks' victory is all on defense!

Long Fei, who contributed 15 rebounds, 12 blocks, 5 steals, and 3 assists, can be described as a big kill on the defensive end.

Maddy

, who scored 7 points in the first quarter, scored 13 points in the first half, but in the second half, he was locked up by Long Fei again, and only scored 17 points in the whole game.

......

However, the most incredible thing is that Long Fei actually played the full 48 minutes!

You know, this is a playoff game, and the intensity is much higher than the regular season.

It is not for nothing that some single-core teams can play a full 48 minutes in the playoffs, and the core players naturally dare not rest for a minute when the score is tight or some players are injured.

But the full 48 minutes played like that will save more energy on the field and only play on the offensive end.

But Long Fei is different, in the past 48 minutes, he has been running non-stop on the defensive end, sparing no effort to fight, to fill positions, to block, and to play with active participation on the offensive end.

What's even more incredible is that in the final stage, he didn't show the slightest fatigue! Rocket

fans were surprised and inevitably admired enviously: "It's good to be young!"

......

Won two games in a row and tied the score at 2:2.

The Mavericks have fully walked back from the edge of the cliff and regained the initiative!

Instead of stopping in Houston that night, they flew straight back to Dallas, which was too close to each other.

On the plane, the players were tired and most of them fell asleep, after all, this game was a victory for the whole team.

As for Long Fei, he is still alive and well.

At this time, he was also excited about the little general Johnson!

The old Nelson asked him to command the two key games on the spot, he led the team to win, which was a huge test for winning the "mentor".

More importantly, he proved his point of view

! It proved that the Mavericks could win the game by playing defensive counterattacks with

Long Fei as the core! At this time, he came to Long Fei's side excitedly, and the two happily discussed! For Long Fei,

he also likes a coach like the little general.

After all, how can a coach who can give himself enough playing time and build offensive and defensive tactics with himself as the core, how can he not like it?

......

When the team returned to Dallas, even late at night, there were still many fans outside the airport to welcome the Warriors' triumph!

Now, the team's goal for the season has not changed, it is still the championship

, but before that, their recent small goal is to win the battle of Tianwang Mountain at home!

......

Mavericks head coach Nelson Sr., who was supposed to return to his home court and stay in Dallas, should have returned, after all, the time to recuperate for two games was enough.

But Nelson Sr.'s move at this time once again surprised the coaching staff.

He announced directly at the meeting of the coaching staff that the team will let the little general Avery Johnson continue to command!

Although he said that he won two beautiful away games in a row, which made the little general full of confidence, but the move of "Teacher" still made him a little apprehensive, and immediately said: "Coach Downey, in fact, I command the team according to your teachings, in terms of experience, I still have a lot of shortcomings, the team can't do without you......

" Old Nelson smiled: " Winning is the best proof of this, go ahead, when you lose, I'll come back. "

......

For

the Rockets, from leading 2:0 to losing two home games in a row to playing Tianwang Mountain 2:2, they have really not played well recently.

There is a great need to turn the tide with a win.

So from the very beginning of this game, it was extremely intense!

Da Yao forced a position under the basket, hanging two people's defensive strong attack, even if he couldn't score, he would have to kill the opponent.

Maddie, on the other hand, took the initiative to take the ball on the offensive end from the first quarter, went to play Long Fei, and created a lot of physical contact

! Although he was still stealed, blocked, and even hit iron, he also received the results, and made Long Fei two fouls in a single quarter!

......

Due to the increase in confrontation, the referee's whistle also sounded frequently, and the game was cut to pieces, and it was difficult to play a smooth offense!

The Mavericks relied on a strong performance on the defensive end to beat the Rockets a 7-point lead of 24:17 in a single quarter, but at the same time, they also paid a lot of foul costs.

In the single quarter, Long Fei and Dampier both got two individual fouls.

From this point of view, the Rockets' idea in this game is already obvious, that is, to kill the opponent, to create as many fouls as possible for the Mavericks at all costs, and to get a major player like Long Fei into foul trouble!

......

In the second quarter of the game, the Rockets continued to implement this style of play!

Even if there is no "home whistle" on the road, it is impossible for the referee's whistle to remain unsounding under the constant strong attack.

At halftime, they did achieve their goal, Long Fei was fouled four times, and two more will be sent off!

At 57:42 at halftime, they trailed by a full 15 points.

......

Perhaps, the Rockets think that as long as they send Long Fei off the court, or play to protect him, then they can close the 15-point gap.

As it turned out, they were still thinking too simply.

In the second half, Long Fei was indeed protected by the Mavericks' coaching staff, and in the third quarter, Long Fei was no longer so unrestrained in blocking and stealing on the defensive end, and the defense was only based on keeping up with his position.

In this case, the Rockets' offense has indeed improved, but the Mavericks' offense is not bad, and the Rockets' scoring trend is very slow.

After three quarters, the two teams still had an 11-point score difference.

In the final quarter, the Rockets did their best, and under the leadership of Da Yao, they narrowed the gap to 6 points at one point.

They dare to fight, and they are bound to fight this Tianwang Mountain!

But at this time, this kind of fighting momentum also backfired them, because of the excessive strength and frequent fouls, the Mavericks used the score on the free throw line to hold the score steadily.

......

In the end, the Rockets failed to counterattack, and the Mavericks defeated the Rockets 113-101 at home, defending the battle of Tianwang Mountain at home, while the total score also came to 3:2, and they got the match point!

But the Mavericks still won the game with an overall stronger offense.

Da Yao, who slashed 29 points and 16 rebounds, once again became the leader of the empty group.
