The break ended quickly, and the referee blew the whistle to signal the players from both sides to return to the court.
The lineups on both sides were the same as at the final decisive moment, and no personnel adjustments were made.
The lineup the Mavericks put on the field was: Kidd, Terry, Marion, Nowitzki, and Haywood.
The Warriors' lineup is: Curry, Ellis, Reggie Williams, Sun Yi, Randolph.
In the jump ball session, Randolph took off hard and beat Haywood to touch the basketball first and move it back to the backcourt, giving the Warriors the opportunity to take the lead in overtime.
Curry dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, made tactical gestures, and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.
Sun Yi quickly ran out and cooperated with the pick-and-roll.
The primary school student used the screen to quickly break through to the basket. When Marion encountered a change of defense, he immediately hit the ball to the ground and passed it out.
The passing Sun Yi received the pass, rushed into the penalty area, and scored a layup.
Haywood, who arrived late, shook his head helplessly and complained: "This rookie is really a physical monster!"
In the auditorium, fans erupted in deafening cheers and shouts to cheer on the Warriors.
On the court, Kidd dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and directed his teammates to move.
With the help of Haywood's off-ball screen, Terry ran to the high post area on the right, received Kidd's pass, and hit a mid-range jumper to tie the score.
The Warriors immediately hit the baseline and launched a run-and-gun tactic.
At this stage, the players of both teams are very tired. It depends on who can grit their teeth and persevere.
Seeing this situation, the Mavericks players felt that the Warriors players were crazy. In order to prevent the Warriors from scoring easily, they had no choice but to defend at all costs.
Curry quickly dribbled the ball forward, made a crossover outside the three-point line, shook Kidd away and rushed into the penalty area.
Jibu Gong looked at Curry's retreating back, feeling a little unwilling.
If he were a few years younger, he would definitely not be as embarrassed as he is now, and he immediately chased towards the penalty area with lead-filled legs.
On the other side, the elementary school student broke into the penalty area, used the change of rhythm to escape the defender Haywood, and scored a layup.
The Warriors scored consecutively and temporarily took the lead in overtime.
For the players, overtime not only tests their psychological quality, but also tests their physical strength.
The situation is relatively better for the Warriors, after all, they are young.
But things are very bad for the Mavericks.
A veteran like Kidd has little fuel in the tank. After playing a high-intensity game for more than 40 minutes, his physical fitness is definitely not sufficient, which seriously affects his condition.
At this critical moment, the Mavericks did not dare to replace Kidd and could only grit their teeth and persist.
The ball is in transition and the Mavericks attack.
In the mid-range area on the right, Nowitzki relied on Sun Yi to receive the pass, shook his shoulders and then turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hits the net hollowly and hits the target steadily!
Looking back, the Warriors once again played run-and-gun tactics.
Curry quickly dribbled forward and passed the ball just after halftime.
Sun Yi, who was on a fast break, received the pass and broke into the penalty area. He was double-teamed by the Mavericks and passed the ball.
Ellis, who ran to the left corner, received the pass, raised his hand and made a three-pointer.
The ball is in transition and the Mavericks attack.
In this round, Kidd directed his teammates' movements and created a tacit pass-cut cooperation.
Marion, who cut from the right toward the penalty area, received the pass and rushed to the basket for a layup.
At this moment, Sun Yi quickly rushed back to help defend, jumped up immediately after, stretched out his arms to hit the basketball.
Snap!
Sun Yi slapped the rising basketball onto the backboard.
After the basketball rebounded, it was grabbed by Reggie Williams who was following up. After landing, he found his teammates and immediately passed the ball forward.
Curry, who was on a fast break, received the pass and ran outside the three-point line. Seeing that no one was guarding him, he chased and hit a three-pointer.
"This goal hit the Mavericks very hard. I think Carlisle will ask for a timeout to adjust."
As soon as Mike Breen finished speaking, Mavericks head coach Carlisle applied for a timeout.
Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.
After the timeout, Nowitzki came to the right low post with the ball and hit from behind. After a few hits, he made a fake move and then turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper.
This time Sun Yi did not lose his position and defended very well.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Under the basket, Haywood tried his best to grab the offensive rebound. When he was about to take off to attack the frame, he found that the basketball in his hand was gone.
"Damn brat!" Heywood cursed secretly and saw the culprit walking away quickly with the basketball.
On the other side, after Curry successfully cut the ball, he quickly ran towards the frontcourt and launched a defensive counterattack.
Sun Yi burst out with the fastest speed, surpassing Mavericks players one after another, and took the lead towards the basket.
Seeing this, the primary school student immediately threw the ball toward the basket.
Sun Yi rushed into the penalty area, jumped into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
Seeing that the score was widened, Kidd played more decisively and suddenly hit a three-pointer with a cold arrow, narrowing the difference to only 5 points.
The Warriors responded immediately. Sun Yi faced Marion's defense and hit a mid-range jumper.
In the next few rounds, the Mavericks players were increasingly affected by the decline in physical strength. Their shots became deformed and their shooting percentage began to decline.
The Warriors are also affected, just a little better than the Mavericks.
When the game reached the last minute or so, Sun Yi assisted Reggie Williams to hit a three-pointer, completely sealing the victory.
After that, both sides played one round each, and then stopped playing and waited for the game to end.
"The overall situation has been decided. Congratulations to the Warriors. Unfortunately, Sun is only 3 points away from tying Michael's single-game scoring record in the playoffs." Mike Breen said with a regretful tone.
Reggie Miller on the side nodded and expressed his opinion.
"Such a state is rare, but Sun is still young. I think he will surprise us in the future."
Brin nodded, agreeing with Miller's point of view.
After all, this is Sun Yi's rookie season, and his career has just begun. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future.
Back on the field, the game is coming to an end.
Along with the cheers and shouts of the fans at the scene, the buzzer heralding the end of the game rang throughout the arena.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Mavericks 138-132, with a total score of 3-0 to get the match point.
In terms of statistics, 5 Warriors players scored in double figures.
Sun Yi's performance was obvious to all and he was elected the best player of the game.
In 46 minutes on the court, he scored a triple-double of 60 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks.
Sun Yi scored a super triple-double and set a series of records. He became the first player in NBA history to score 60+ triple-doubles in the playoffs, and set a new playoff rookie single-game scoring record.
Curry also performed very well. If he hadn't hit the winning three-pointer, Sun Yi would not have been able to get a 60+ triple-double.
In the 43 minutes he played, the junior made 3 of 7 three-pointers and scored 17 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.
Ellis had 21 points and 3 assists; Reggie Williams had 11 points and 3 rebounds; Randolph had a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
For the Mavericks, the most outstanding player is Nowitzki.
In the 45 minutes he played, he scored 55 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block.
If it weren't for Sun Yi's 60+ triple-double and Curry's tying three-pointer, this game would have been the highlight of Nowitzki's career.
The rest of the Mavericks players performed mediocrely, with only three scoring in double figures.
Terry scored 19 points and 2 assists; Marion scored 14 points and 4 rebounds; Kidd scored a double-double with 12 points and 10 assists.
Back on the playing field, Nowitzki looked up at the data displayed on the big screen, feeling extremely melancholy.
In a game where he set a new playoff scoring high, he encountered an extremely evil rookie, making everything he had done in vain and becoming the worst backdrop.
And they have to accept being behind 0-3 in the series.
It’s really too miserable!
Although Nowitzki looked miserable, he gained a lot.
Not only did he regain his form and overcome his psychological shadow, he also returned to his peak period and his own strength was improved.
After adjusting his mentality, Nowitzki went to shake hands with Sun Yi.
This is the first time in NBA history that two teams have players scoring 60+ and 50+ in the same game.
It can be said that this high-scoring battle will become one of the classic games.
Therefore, the topic of this game will be very high.
Nowitzki doesn't want to miss this opportunity to gain popularity easily.
Sun Yi saw Nowitzki coming forward and knew his purpose, so he smiled to express his friendliness.
Under the flashlights of media reporters, Sun Yi and Nowitzki hugged.
"Sun, congratulations. You played so well. I am convinced that you lost. 60+ triple-doubles is really unbelievable. This kind of data is really abnormal..."
Nowitzki became more and more excited as he spoke, even swearing, which shows how much this game hit him.
After hearing this, Sun Yi waved his hand and said helplessly: "Dirk, actually I don't want to get a 60+ triple-double. The main reason is that you put too much pressure on me, forcing me to get such awesome data. "
After hearing this, Nowitzki felt that Sun Yi was pretending.
Co-authored, or was it our fault that we shouldn't have forced you to score 60+ triple-doubles? !
Nowitzki didn't want to continue chatting with Sun Yi because he was worried that he might hit someone if he couldn't help it.
After exchanging mobile phone numbers, the two said goodbye to each other.
After Nowitzki left, Sun Yi began to deal with the post-game interviews from media reporters.
After accepting the post-match interview, Sun Yi, escorted by security personnel, squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the player tunnel, returning to the locker room to join the team.
