Chapter 105 2-1 behind
For fans in Dallas and Detroit, whoever's home team wins a game temporarily gains the "right to bark."

Therefore, after Game 2, the Pistons fans who were watching TV worked overtime to make various banners and posters to welcome the Mavericks.

They have come from far away, so how can we not leave them with something memorable?

"Where is the king? The king is ready to go fishing in disgrace!"

"A scoring champion only scored 17 points in the finals. I think Zheng's appearance has lowered the value of the scoring champion title."

"4-1! Perhaps this is a good outcome. After all, Zheng Ke is the son of the alliance. Everyone knows that he will never be swept away!"

The Pistons fans spoke arrogantly in front of the media, and some even gave the middle finger directly to the camera.

It can be seen that after losing G1, they were very upset by the ridicule from the Dallas fans. They were holding their breath and were waiting for this moment to fight back fiercely.

Although Dallas’ response was not as tough as before, it was still very arrogant.

After all, the score is now 1:1, and no one is worse than anyone else.

"I always love watching the Detroit fans talk before games, you know, it's more interesting than any TV show.

Of course, their post-match speeches will be even more interesting, just wait and see! ”

"I don't care what those wimps say. When we hold the championship trophy, you'll know who is the ridiculous one."

"I prefer the Mavericks to finish off their opponents in the next three games, since Game 5 can be played in Dallas.

If it's four games, that's fine, after all, this is the finals, and watching one more game is a good experience."

The remote conversations between fans of both sides continue to increase the heat of this series, especially now that the two teams have tied the total score and no one knows who will win this series.

The suspense is getting bigger and bigger!

However, everyone knows that the next two games will most likely affect the direction of the entire series.

No matter who wins two games in a row, they will reach the match point, and the winner will be basically clear at that time.

Of course, it is possible that the two sides are still tied after two games, but this is difficult for the Mavericks. After all, they just lost a game, and the next two games are at the Pistons' home court.

The Pistons will not give up these two games easily.

……

Game G3 was held on June 6. When the Mavericks bus arrived at the entrance of the stadium, the Detroit fans surrounding the game gave them the most enthusiastic cheers.

Even though the police on the sidelines tried their best to control the situation, it was of no avail. After all, this was the Pistons' first home game in the finals!

If they don't show their enthusiasm to their opponents, how can they justify waiting here for an entire afternoon?

The sound insulation of the team bus was average, and what made the Mavericks players uncomfortable was not the content of the words, but the fact that the noise was too loud.

The sound waves came one after another, making the eardrums hurt!

They had no choice but to cover their ears, and then after the bus stopped, they picked up their belongings and quickly walked into the stadium.

After the warm-up, the starting players of both teams came on the court and prepared to start today's game.

There have been no adjustments to the starting lineups of both sides so far. It is obvious that the head coaches of both sides still recognize their performance on the court and they are all looking forward to their better performance today.

After the game started, the Mavericks got the first offensive opportunity. Hamilton came to Zheng Yang again. From their defensive position, it can be seen that they still chose to defend four players at once.

"Hey rookie, cherish the opportunity to be closely guarded by me, because in three games, you will never experience this feeling again."

Hamilton said arrogantly, and Zheng Yang pretended to smell a bad odor and fanned his mouth.

"Hey, you're so arrogant..."

The Mavericks' first offensive choice was given to Nowitzki. After all, Hamilton was following Zheng Yang very closely, and Jason Terry did not dare to give the ball to him.

As soon as Nowitzki got the ball, he was double-teamed by Big Ben and Roaring God. The four arms of the two men touched Nowitzki from head to toe.

Nowitzki was unable to gain an advantage in the hand-to-hand combat and ultimately had to turn around and force a shot.

It’s a pity that Big Ben had anticipated this and jumped high and slapped the basketball.

The ball was taken by Billups and the Mavericks' first offensive round ended in failure.

"The Mavericks ended up like this in the first round, which obviously had a huge impact on their morale.

We are very worried that this will become a microcosm of this game, that is, when Zheng Yang can't get rid of the Pistons' defense, can other Mavericks players step up and score?

The entire Mavericks team cannot rely on Zheng Yang alone to score."

In the CCTV studio, Teacher Yu Jia said with a serious expression.

The biggest reason why the Mavericks lost the last game was that other players were in poor form. So today, playing away from home and facing all the boos, can their form improve?
Nowitzki, who was blocked, looked a little annoyed. Although he tried his best to return to defense, he was still beaten by the Pistons' fast break counterattack.

The excited Pistons fans cheered desperately. Zheng Yang was not exaggerating. In the face of such a loud noise, he really felt dizzy and annoyed.

Do these people have a loudspeaker in their throats?
Such a loud voice!

……

In the first quarter, the Pistons still had the initiative on the court. Zheng Yang did not have many offenses in this quarter. Under Hamilton's defense, he had few opportunities to receive the ball.

The offensive state of other players who can receive the ball is very average. If these players had a bad touch in the last game, it may be because of their own state or it may be because of pressure.

The reason they were in poor form in this game was purely because of too much psychological pressure.

This can be fully seen from the performance on the field.

Because they made a lot of low-level mistakes, such as dribbling errors, passing errors, or they missed several shots in open space.

As a group of NBA players who can appear in the finals or even start, there is no doubt about their absolute strength.

Normally, open opportunities can usually be seized.

Such performance can only mean that they are under great psychological pressure, which causes their technical movements to be deformed and their force to be unsmooth, which leads to many misses.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks started to perform better as they gradually found their rhythm, but they still failed to regain the initiative and were still lagging behind. "So far in this game, the Mavericks have given us the feeling of a person who has just recovered from a serious illness. Although they have all their limbs intact, they feel like they can't exert their strength and they always feel like they are missing a breath.

Although there was still a long time left in the game, the opposing Pistons found their rhythm faster than them. If they had always been half a step behind the opponent, the final outcome would only be losing the game.

Mavericks head coach Donnie Jason may have to think of a solution.”

Of course, old Nelson also saw the team's struggles, but he really didn't know how to change the formation. It's not that the opponent did not show their weaknesses, but it was mainly because his players could not seize the opportunities.

In the end, he can only ask his players to take more three-pointers.

The Mavericks have a very good three-point shooting ability. If they can make more three-pointers, they may be able to kill their opponents with a wave of offense.

But this wrong decision caused the Mavericks to suddenly lose in the third quarter. Their score difference was directly widened to 15 points in four minutes, bringing the dawn of victory directly to the Pistons fans.

Why does the decline occur?

In fact, it is very simple. The Mavericks have three-point shooting ability, but this ability is limited and depends a lot on the touch.

Like Zheng Yang, when he is in good form he can throw six or seven balls in a game, but when he is not in good form he may not be able to throw any.

In this game, their three-point shooting touch was completely gone, and all the three-pointers that rained down eventually turned into misses. The Pistons took advantage of this opportunity to score continuously, and eventually successfully widened the gap to 15 points.

"What the f*ck did I say? We are going to win, not just one, not two games, we are going to win four games in a row and eventually win the game easily."

Hamilton shouted. He was more excited than anyone else on the field. He had been criticized by Zheng Yang several times and was feeling unhappy.

Now I can finally use victory to make him shut up.

Why are you still being so arrogant? We are about to win the third game, and the next game is at our home court. You don't stand a chance.

Zheng Yang had a cold face and didn't respond. He was not the kind of person who would be stubborn when he was about to lose the game, and he was not in the mood to argue with the other party.

He now wants to find the key to breaking the deadlock. When no one around him can stand up, what else can he do?

The Mavericks did not rebound strongly in the fourth quarter. Everyone was distracted and played worse than in any previous quarter. Old Nelson sat in a chair, frowning, staring at everything on the court.

He was also wondering, what else could he do?

In the end, the game was won by the Pistons. The Mavericks, who had always been able to create miracles in the past, failed to do so again today. They lost to the Pistons with a big score of 90:102.

The home fans used the most cheerful voices in history to "see off" the Mavericks players as they left the field.

"Don't hide in the locker room and cry!"

"Please put some extra Kleenex in their locker rooms, they're definitely going to need it."

"Coward! Coward! Coward..."

They shouted and made faces on both sides of the player tunnel to humiliate them. Their arrogant demeanor made the Mavericks players angry and helpless.

Only Zheng Yang, who was walking at the end of the team, stopped amid the mocking noises and shouted to the fans nearby.

"Please enjoy your last victory carnival, you don't have any more chances!"

After saying that, he turned and walked into the player tunnel, leaving behind only the disdainful crowd on both sides.

"It's you who are trailing 2-1, brother..."

"We will get the remaining two wins!"

"Wow, wow, you're about to cry, haha!"

……

"Do the Mavericks, who have lost two games in a row, really have a chance? Maybe, as Detroit Pistons coach Larry Brown said, they have found a way to win.

When Zheng left the court in Game 3, he said this would be the last victory for the Detroit Pistons, but the Mavericks' current performance really makes it hard to convince people that they have the strength to win three games in a row.

Maybe this is just what Zheng said in a hurry. Let's not forget that he is just a 19-year-old young man. He is not mature yet and he is still young and energetic. "

This is a passage mentioned by the media in the post-match report. The Mavericks' two consecutive losses have made most people lose confidence in them. Even the Dallas fans rarely stood up to speak for their home team after losing Game 3.

Because they themselves don’t have much confidence!
Although they said it didn't matter, it didn't matter, entering the finals was already making history, and it didn't matter even if they didn't win the championship, they would win it sooner or later anyway.

But when they really were about to lose the championship trophy, they were still in a low mood. No one is immune to the attraction of the championship.

They really, really want to see their home team win a championship. This may be the lifelong wish of some people.

But this wish seems to be impossible to realize this year!

……

G4 was scheduled for June 6. When the Mavericks players entered the stadium, they all had expressionless and serious faces.

Of course, the moods they revealed were slightly different. Some had confused eyes, some had gloomy faces, and some had sharp eyes.

And Zheng Yang naturally belongs to the last category!
Even though they lost two games in a row, even at the opponent's home court, and even though the latest predicted probability given by ESPN showed that their chances of winning the championship were only a pitiful 8.9%, he still didn't think of surrendering.

Surrender? That's for cowards!
He trained very hard and tried very hard to get into the NBA, not to surrender to his opponents.

As long as he can continue to stand on the court and play, he will never surrender.

If the opponent wants to continue to win, then let’s give it a try!
See if I can steal another victory right before his eyes.

Moreover, he has found a way to break the opponent's defense. Even though he can't guarantee that this method will definitely work, it is the only way they can take at the moment.

Even if it doesn't work, he will still try it.

Before going on the court, old Nelson patted Zheng Yang on the shoulder, pursed his lips and nodded.

"Zheng, this game depends on you! Please make the audience quiet down. I can't hear anything because of the noise."

"I promise you, they will quiet down."

Zheng Yang also nodded with a smile, but as he turned and walked onto the court, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

There was a fierce look in his eyes. In this game, he would scare the Pistons players!
