At the start of the game, the Warriors set up in a 2-3 formation, the standard opening move for the Flex strategy.
Tonight, Diagana Diop, playing as the Mavericks' "pseudo-starter," proved that he really should have accepted North Carolina's invitation to play college basketball for a year back in the day.
Because, at the moment Qin Yue, using Artest's screen, moved to the high post, this Senegalese center, who hadn't progressed since entering the NBA, completely ignored Qin Yue's movement.
In the next second, Nowitzki, without the protection of his teammates, was forced to recklessly charge towards Qin Yue.
Seeing this, Davis quickly passed the ball, and the rest of the Warriors players swiftly spread out.
Now, Dirk Nowitzki had to face his destiny head-on.
Thud——!
No unnecessary technical moves.
