Actually, in Qin Yue's previous life, Nowitzki's mood after being defeated by the Golden State Gang was roughly similar to this moment.
Even the words he said after the game were very similar.
The only difference is that in this life, Nowitzki won't be badly criticized for losing to the Warriors in the postseason.
After all...
Qin Yue is currently an unqualified superstar.
Didn't D'Antoni previously say...that this year, no matter how far the Warriors go, he wouldn't be surprised?
A day later, the fourth game between the Warriors and Mavericks continued at Oracle Arena.
Nowitzki lived up to expectations by hitting the "Celestial God Descending" switch, going 15 for 25 from the field, including 3 for 6 from three-point range, 12 for 12 from the free throw line, totaling 45 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Additionally, Jason Terry, who was arranged by Johnson to play as a substitute in the game, instead showed his best performance in this series, going 7 for 11 from the field, including 6 for 9 from three-point range, totaling 20 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists.
On the field, the Mavericks used the attack basketball that they had not forgotten and successfully won in an away game by attacking against attack, avoiding the embarrassment of being swept by the Warriors.
In this game, apart from Qin Yue, all the other starting players of the Warriors basically got individually targeted and played by Nowitzki.
It proves that old Nelson, the "mad scientist"...
still left a vast wealth for Johnson, this prodigal stuff, to squander with the Mavericks.
"I still can't understand why they didn't play like this in the first game?"
After the G4 war, Little Deng Liwei always felt that Mavericks' coach Johnson was playing a big game with the tactics chosen by the Mavericks in this series.
A big game named: He's actually a deeply hidden 30-year fan of the Warriors.
Because even though they are about to head to Dallas with a 3-1 lead, Little Deng Liwei still couldn't understand why the Mavericks, with overall strength far above the Warriors, made such frequent blunders in this series.
On the wings, how could the "Double Ugly Defense" composed of Howard and Daniels not stop the Warriors' outside shooting?
It's not the old impulse-driven Devin Harris anymore, but can his speed not match Davis?
Since the Mavericks can use tactical design to let Nowitzki score and mutually explode with his natural nemesis Qin Yue...
Then with Dampier, Diop, and on the bench Terry, Stackhouse in the interior, why they could be behind the Warriors by 1 to 3?
Of course, Little Deng Liwei, who always had a high basketball IQ, would never choose to remind the Dallas People that their problem was not the players on the field.
Because the Warriors are still counting on "Little General" Johnson to send his brothers another round.
May 3rd, American Airlines Center.
The Warriors officially ended this series.
Although in this G5 war, Nowitzki was still in great form, scoring 34 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists for the Mavericks.
But in the game, "Little General" Johnson, who had won by picking up the old Nelson tactics board in the last game, opened his mind again and drove backward.
On the field, Johnson must prove that the Mavericks can successfully defend Qin Yue, pouring all his life's learning onto Qin Yue.
Then Qin Yue responded to Johnson with an easy "30+ triple-double":
Your gut doesn't have ink.
At least, not the ink that can limit me.
In the end, 110 to 101.
The Warriors, with a 4 to 1 victory, secured their advance to the next round as wished.
This result was unexpected by all experts and neutral fans before the match.
"The Golden State Warriors eliminated the Dallas Mavericks stunningly; in this series, Messiah averaged 36.4 points, 12 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 3 blocks, and 1.4 steals for the Warriors, proving with strength that he's the better offensive power forward in the league than Dirk Nowitzki."
"Of course, we must take our hats off to Dirk, who averaged 34.4 points, 8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 0.8 blocks per game for the Mavericks in this series, as he was the only player who could proudly walk out of American Airlines Center." - ESPN News Express
"When asked how he views the Warriors advancing to the next round first, Gregg Popovich angrily said: 'These players still live in last season's championship dream, none of them wants to win.'"
"Clearly, after being surprisingly pulled to a 2-2 tie in the series by the Clippers, the Spurs, as the first in the West, need to hurry because the Warriors are already waiting ahead for them." - The San Antonio News Express
"After being eliminated by Kobe's killer shot in the G5 game, Mike D'Antoni repeatedly emphasized after the game that there are no weak teams in the West this year." - The Los Angeles Times
"Regarding the controversial killer shot previously known in the game against the Wizards, LeBron James stated that people who understand the game naturally understand it, and since the referee did not call a travel, it was undoubtedly a good ball." - The Cleveland Plain Dealer
