On Thursday morning, the West Coast semifinals of the NBA playoffs will have a good show. The Thunder will compete with the Mavericks at home in the fifth game of the series. Unfortunately, the Mavericks were reversed in G4, and their morale suffered a blow. However, after 4 games, it can be seen that the team is the dominant side, and Luka Dangxi is the absolute strong point. He performed abnormally in the last battle. As long as he returns to what he should be level, I believe the Mavericks can win the battle of Tianwangshan in G5 away game. 

The Thunder's lineup is dominated by young players, and the team has a strong impact. In the regular season, it won the top seed in the West Coast and advanced to the playoffs. In the playoffs, stars and playoff experience are extremely important. In the first round, facing the Pelicans who lacked Shi AnWilliamson , the Thunder encountered no difficulties and swept their opponents to advance. When it came to the semifinals against the Mavericks, the Thunder faced many difficulties. Even though G1 easily defeated the Mavericks, in the next three games, the Thunder were at a disadvantage overall. G4 only had a small climax in the last quarter and had 11 more free throws than its opponents. With the advantage of 2 points, they finally completed the reversal and tied the score to 2-2. G5 returned to the home court and the Thunder should have the advantage, but after 4 games, they actually need more changes. The core S. Alexander was double-teamed, and the main defenders were Paul Washington and Dai. Alex Jones , the two are very mobile players, which makes the Canadian star quite uncomfortable. Coach Mark Daigneault should arrange more pick-and-rolls for S. Alexander to play in isolation.luka dang tin orK. Airong strives to consume the Mavericks dual-core on both offense and defense. In addition to this, it can be seen from the first 4 games of the series that the Thunder do not have an advantage against the Mavericks in various positions, and their ability to solve difficulties is not as good as their opponents. The last 3 games have all reached critical moments, and the Thunder lost 2 In the game, G5 returns to the home court to play. If they continue to play until the last critical moment, the Thunder have a high chance of losing.

This season, the Mavericks directly advanced to the playoffs with the fifth place in the West Coast in the regular season. In the first round, they defeated the Clippers 4-2 with a big score to advance to the West Coast semifinals. In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the team was fully focused, with Luca Dangsi and Deli Livini. After both the main force and the reserves performed well, the Mavericks defeated the Clippers by 30 points in the end, which also completely destroyed the opponent's confidence. The semi-finals came to the battle of Tianwang Mountain again. Even if the opponent was the more powerful Thunder, I believe the Mavericks are capable. Win the game. Interestingly, observing the results of the Mavericks in this season's playoffs, we can see that they first lost one game, then won two games, and then lost another game to reach the battle of Tianwang Mountain. Let's not say whether this pattern will hold. Keep going, but you can also get something from it, that is, the Lone Ranger has a strong ability to correct errors, but lacks resilience. It can rebound strongly after every loss. In terms of players, both Luka Dangsi and K. Irong performed abnormally in G4. The two made a total of 10 of 31 shots, and the hit rate was only 32.3%. This was the lowest hit rate for the two players in the playoffs this season. The two cores urgently need to perform normally. Performance; and Paul Washington can be called the Mavericks' best signing this season. He has become an indispensable member of the team. When the two cores were crazy double-teamed by the Thunder, this son was the player who got the most open shooting opportunities. Paul Washington He can also grasp it. The best proof is that he averaged 25.7 points and 9.7 rebounds in the past three series. Compared with the Thunder, which needs more changes, the Mavericks only need to stick to their usual style of play, led by a dual-core team, involving and tearing apart the opponent's defense, and driving role players on both offense and defense. It will not be a problem for the team to win in G5. In terms of lineup, forwards Kaleb and Kig Brown avoided the game due to their own reasons.
