The timeout ends and the game continues.
The Mavericks made substitution adjustments and replaced Kidd to regain control of the rhythm of the game on the court.
The Warriors also made substitution adjustments and replaced Reggie Williams to enhance their outside firepower.
After the timeout, Kidd dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, directed his teammates to move, and prepared to deal the cards.
Dampier quickly ran forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and at the same time took Tolliver out of the penalty area.
Seeing this, Ellis immediately took a few steps back, preparing to go around the screen in advance.
Kidd, who was in possession of the ball, looked constipated when he saw this.
"Damn it! Those guys across the street really look down on people!" Ji Bu Gong roared with filial piety in his heart.
Seeing the expression on Kidd's face, Xiao Gongju added angrily: "Jason, are you gesticulating there to direct traffic?"
Kidd was furious after hearing this, but did not respond and still directed his teammates to move.
Seeing that the effect was good, Ellis continued to increase his intensity and said: "I'm not guarding you anymore, why don't you shoot? Isn't it useless?!"
After Jibu Gong heard this, he immediately broke the defense.
Since he has a poor family position and cannot fuck his wife, he hates being told that he is not good enough.
Immediately, Kidd cursed: "You bastard, trouble comes from your mouth, prepare to pay the price!"
After saying that, Ji BuGong started quickly and broke through toward the basket.
Ellis immediately moved laterally and blocked Kidd's breakthrough route in advance.
Kidd, who was so angry, didn't think much and bumped directly into Ellis.
Xiao Gongju was very thief. After the physical confrontation, he immediately fell backward and lay on the floor, wailing.
"Beep! An offensive foul was committed by the Mavericks' No. 2 player."
The referee blew the whistle and made a foul gesture towards the technical table.
Kidd slapped the basketball hard, calmed down immediately, knowing that he was reckless, and then handed the basketball in his hand to the referee.
The ball transitions and the Warriors attack.
Ellis dribbled the ball across half the court, handed it to Sun Yi, and quickly ran without the ball.
Tolliver quickly left the penalty area and ran towards the right corner.
Dampier saw this situation and did not follow him out.
Sun Yi, who was holding the ball outside the three-point line, immediately passed the ball to the right corner with his quick eyes and quick hands.
Tolliver ran to the bottom corner and caught the pass, and hit a three-pointer.
On the Mavericks bench, head coach Carlisle shook his head helplessly, then came to the sidelines and shouted toward the court.
"Follow your own people!"
On the court, the Mavericks players nodded to show their understanding.
In this round, Kidd directed his teammates to move, leaving Nowitzki on the weak side, and other Mavericks players ran to the strong side according to tactics.

After setting up the game, Kidd passed the ball to Nowitzki for a single.
In the mid-range area on the right, Nowitzki received the ball and quickly turned around after protecting the ball, not giving Sun Yi a chance to cut the ball.
Seeing this situation, Sun Yi did not rush to pay for the foul.
Nowitzki made a three-threat move and took a tentative step. Seeing that Sun Yi was indifferent, he immediately released the ball and broke into the penalty area.
Sun Yi reacted quickly and moved laterally to block.
Nowitzki immediately stopped the car, jumped up and shot.
Sun Yi, who was retreating, was beaten to a loss and was unable to pounce to interfere.
The basketball made a circle inside the basket and fell into the net.
The Warriors served quickly, and after receiving the ball, Sun Yi started to advance toward the frontcourt as quickly as possible.
Nowitzki, who was retreating, wanted to step forward to intercept, but was easily passed by Sun Yi. His lateral speed could not keep up with Sun Yi's speed.
"I can't guard him! I have to ask the coach to send someone to defend again. This guy is not a serious power forward."
After Nowitzki sighed, he quickly turned around to pursue the defense.
On the other side, Sun Yi had already passed the center line and rushed towards the three-point line.
Upon seeing this, Marion immediately stepped forward to defend.
After Sun Yi attracted the defense, he immediately passed the ball.
Reggie Williams, who followed up, received the pass, immediately took off and shot a three-pointer.
As luck would have it, the basketball rebounded into the basket after hitting the board.
In the audience, the Mavericks fans watched the score being drawn, feeling a little anxious.
They didn't expect that it would be so difficult to beat a Warriors team that could barely make it to the playoffs, and that there was still the possibility of an upset.
The fans wanted to cheer for the Mavericks, but they couldn't do enough!
On the court, Nowitzki once again held the ball in singles.
This time Sun Yi accurately predicted Nowitzki's next move and prevented the Mavericks' attack.
The Warriors protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.
Ellis quickly dribbled to the three-point line and hit the ball to the ground.
Sun Yi, who followed up, received the pass, rushed into the penalty area from the right, jumped into the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
Seeing this situation, Mavericks head coach Carlisle immediately made substitution adjustments and sent all the main players on the field.
Nelson also made substitution adjustments, replacing Curry and Randolph who had been rested for a long time.
After the substitution adjustment, the Mavericks cooperated through passing and cutting, and Marion cut into the basket and scored a layup.
The Warriors responded immediately with the "elevator door" tactic.
Curry ran out of opportunity, received a pass from Sun Yi, and hit a three-pointer.
Looking back, Kidd used Haywood's cover to quickly break into the penalty area and score the ball before Sun Yi came back.
The Warriors quickly served baseline balls and played run-and-gun tactics.
Ellis ran to the right side of the three-point line, received a pass from Sun Yi, saw Stevenson rushing forward, and resolutely shot a three-pointer.
Bang!
The basketball knocked out of the frame and bounced out with great force.
Sun Yichong rushed to the front of the penalty area and grabbed the rebound. When he landed, he saw a sneaky figure and immediately raised the ball.
"Jason, although I am a rookie, I have quite a lot of game experience. Let me remind you, Stephen has no one to defend him." After Sun Yi finished speaking, he quickly passed the ball out.
"Damn it!" After hearing this, Kidd cursed secretly and immediately turned back to defend.
Outside the three-point line on the left, Curry received the pass and saw the Mavericks players rushing over quickly. He was not nervous and threw the ball calmly.
Sun Yi can play the game calmly, and the primary school student feels that he can do the same.
Kidd, who came over, saw that Curry had already taken a shot and could only watch the ball and sigh.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
Curry hit two consecutive three-pointers, and the Mavericks targeted him.
In the remainder of the quarter, the pupil failed to hit another three-pointer under tight defense.
Curry was restricted, the Warriors had other scoring points, and Ellis and Sun Yi stepped up to shoulder the offensive burden.
Things are a bit worse for the Mavericks.
Under Sun Yi's death entanglement, Nowitzki's shooting percentage dropped, and Sun Yi cut the ball from time to time, completely disrupting his offensive rhythm.
The only other players on the Mavericks who have strong scoring abilities are Terry and Butler, but their defense is so poor that they basically give points to the Warriors.
Therefore, the Mavericks failed to narrow the point difference, but instead became wider and wider.
At the end of the half, the score on the big screen was 56 to 44. The Warriors led by 12 points entering the second half.
The head coaches of both sides took their players to the locker room and raced against time to arrange offensive and defensive tactics for the second half of the game.
Not long after, the short 15-minute intermission ended and the second half began.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Mavericks took the lead.
Kidd dribbled to the top of the arc, shot a three-point shot directly.
Ku didn't expect Kidd to do this.
I let you vote but you don't, leaving it here to conduct a sneak attack, you are so fucking stupid!
Swish!
Hollow into the net!
56:47!
The Warriors quickly sent a baseline ball, and Curry quickly sprinted towards the frontcourt after receiving the ball.
He came to a position half a meter away from the three-point line and jumped directly to shoot, which was a bit angry.
Seeing this situation, Sun Yi shook his head helplessly. As expected of a primary school student, he liked to be angry and reckless.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
The fans in the audience breathed a sigh of relief.
If this goal were scored, it would be very demoralizing.
Under the basket, Haywood grabbed the rebound, found Kidd immediately, and passed the ball.
After Kidd received the ball, he dribbled forward slowly and waited for his teammates to run into the frontcourt and take position.
In this round, the Mavericks changed their offensive strategy and launched an attack from the inside.
After Kidd saw Haywood stuck in position, he lobbed the ball into the basket.
Haywood squeezed Randolph away, jumped up hard after receiving the pass, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
56:49!
The audience burst into applause, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.
The fans thought that the Mavericks were starting to gain momentum, and they all shouted slogans in unison.
"Defend! Defend! Defend!"
Curry, who was dribbling forward, became a little nervous when he heard the noise in the audience. After dribbling past half court, he immediately passed the ball to Sun Yi.
In the high post area on the right, Sun Yi failed to get into position. When he saw the basketball flying towards him, he immediately stepped forward to respond.
At the same time, Nowitzki rushed out and made a gambling steal.
Fortunately, Sun Yi touched the basketball first and did not let Nowitzki succeed. Then he turned around and passed Nowitzki and broke through to the basket.
He came to the edge of the penalty area, attracted Haywood's defense, and threw the ball toward the basket.
Randolph rushed to the basket and jumped into the air, dunking the ball into the basket with both hands.
Immediately afterwards, Kidd saw that Curry let him shoot a three-pointer. This time he did not hesitate and jumped directly to shoot.
"when!"
The basketball hit the front edge of the basket and bounced out hard.
This was a long rebound. Sun Yi jumped up to grab the rebound. After landing, he rushed towards the frontcourt and launched a defensive counterattack.
Curry, Ellis and others also ran towards the frontcourt desperately.
Sun Yi, who was dribbling forward, saw an opportunity appearing for his teammates. With the bonus of the badge [Dealing Cards from the Top of the Arc], he accurately passed the ball to his teammates.
Maggette, who was on a fast break, received the pass and rushed into the penalty area to complete a one-handed dunk.
After that, Nowitzki's fadeaway jumper was interfered by Sun Yi and failed to score.
The Warriors protected the backcourt rebounds and launched fast breaks.
Curry quickly dribbled the ball to a position half a meter outside the three-point line. Seeing that no one was guarding him, he started shooting wildly again.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
On the sidelines, Mavericks head coach Carlisle frowned when he saw the scene on the court.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the inexperience of Sun Yi and Curry, two rookies, to make them panic and make mistakes, giving the Mavericks a chance to counterattack.
But this guy Sun Yi is very stable despite his youth, and he doesn't look like a dazed young man who is playing in the playoffs for the first time.
And Curry also has no stage fright, dares to play hard, and dares to try outrageous shots like a super long three-pointer, which is so wasteful.
As for the other young players on the Warriors, they all looked like they had been beaten to death.
On the other hand, every player on the Mavericks is out of shape.
There is no way we can win if we continue fighting like this!
Immediately, Carlisle requested a timeout again and called the players to the bench to adjust.
After the timeout, the Mavericks' offense still showed no improvement.
On the other hand, the Warriors are getting stronger and stronger, and even Sun Yi took the opportunity to hit two three-pointers.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors already led by 21 points.
The inter-section break is over and the fourth quarter begins.
The Mavericks still did not give up the game and sent out the entire main lineup to fight against the odds.
The Warriors did not go head-to-head with the Mavericks. They changed their style of play, slowed down the pace of the game, sharpened their positional defense, and played steadily to maintain their lead.
The Mavericks did recover a few points with their strong firepower, but the game time was running out and they could not recover the point difference.
A harsh buzzer sounded, signaling the end of the game.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Mavericks 108-94 and won their first victory in the playoffs.
In terms of statistics, Sun Yi was elected the best player of the game.
In the 40 minutes he played, he scored 22 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.
Sun Yi recorded a triple-double in his first playoff game, becoming the fourth player in NBA history to record a triple-double in his first playoff game, following John McCarthy, Magic Johnson, and LeBron James.
Curry also produced excellent statistics in his playoff debut.
In the 38 minutes he played, he made 5 of 11 three-pointers and scored 19 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
In addition, three other Warriors scored in double figures.
Ellis scored a team-high 25 points; Morrow scored 12 points and 2 rebounds; Tolliver scored 15 points and 5 rebounds.
For the Mavericks, the most outstanding player is Jason Terry.
In the 35 minutes he played, he scored 23 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.
Nowitzki, the core of the Mavericks, played a bit poorly. He only scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, shot only 33% from the field, and made 5 turnovers.
Kidd's performance was also somewhat poor, scoring 7 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
After the game, Sun Yi came to the sidelines and was surrounded by media reporters, scrambling to conduct interviews.
"Sun, congratulations on your first victory in the playoffs. How do you feel about playing in the playoffs for the first time?" a reporter asked.
"I am very excited to be on the playoff stage and will do my best to help the team win." Sun Yi replied.
"How do you feel about your triple-double?"
"Thank you to the coach and teammates for their support and help. Without them, I would not have been able to produce such beautiful data. I am very grateful to them." Sun Yi replied in a satisfactory manner.
"After easily winning the first game, do you feel like the Mavericks are too weak?"
Sun Yi knew that these media reporters did not have a fuel-efficient lamp, so they all wanted to set a trap for him.
"The Mavericks are very strong, otherwise they would not be ranked second in the Western Conference. I think the next game will be a tough battle." Sun Yi answered ambiguously.
After that, Sun Yi answered a few more irrelevant questions, and the post-match interview ended here.
After the interview, Sun Yi walked towards the locker room under the escort of the staff.
