One Guard

Kidd is sitting on the bench sweating profusely at this time. If it is not because of his age, he really hopes to fight Paul for 48 minutes! But at this moment, panting heavily, he took the initiative and could no longer become the protagonist on the basketball court. No matter how much Kidd wants to defeat Paul, he is powerless now. Yiyang, he shouldered everyone's expectations.

Facing Paul's defense again, Yiyang still felt very uncomfortable. Paul's oppressive defense and superb anticipation, not to mention Yiyang, even many experienced All-Star guards will be at a loss!

Yiyang continued to dribble the ball under his crotch, looking for a breakthrough rhythm. However, Paul's center of gravity fell steadily, and he was not moved at all. It seems that no matter how fancy the moves are, they are nothing in front of Paul.

Seeing this situation, Yiyang suddenly sped up, pushing his shoulders against Yiyang, who was ten centimeters shorter than him, and forcibly broke through!

But the strong Paul didn't let Yiyang take advantage of it. And Yiyang has already discovered that Paul seems to be ready to reach out to steal the ball! This guy's average of 2.4 steals per game is not fabricated by the NBA officials. Yiyang doesn't want to be the first player to die under Paul's clutches today.

Yiyang slammed on the brakes, which allowed him to successfully avoid stealing. But Paul, was not thrown off by this emergency stop. He also immediately followed the emergency stop and put on defense again! This guy is not only fast in his hands, but also not slow in his feet!

Yiyang's eyes rolled wildly, he was assessing the situation in the whole half. One-to-one is not an end, but a means!

Afterwards, Yiyang looked at Nowitzki, who was holding a position near the three-second zone, as if he was planning to put the ball into the hands of the German. After all, this guy is the real boss of Dallas.

David West, who has a superb golf quotient, naturally understood Yiyang's eyes and intentions, and he immediately took a step forward. As long as Yiyang dares to pass, West is sure to intercept the ball immediately! Rookies are always rookies. In terms of experience, they are still too young.

Just as West was thinking, Yiyang's ball holder suddenly trembled! David West took a big step forward and immediately blocked Nowitzki.

"Damn it!" Nowitzki was ready to catch the ball, but he didn't expect that Yiyang's intention would be easily broken by West. It seems that this time the mistake seems to be unavoidable.

But when West was in the middle of the passing lane, he found that there was nothing in front of him. There's nothing here, let alone the orange basketball.

In the next second, West, who hadn't figured out the situation, saw the basketball flying to the basket from another direction. It turned out that Yiyang just used a very confusing pass without looking at people, sending the basketball in the opposite direction to his eyes.

Terry, who has been ambushing outside the three-point line in the right corner for a long time, shoots with the ball. Yiyang's no-look pass is not only cool, but also very accurate. As long as it's his pass, most people can shoot it without making any adjustments at all.

The Hornets substitute the swingman at the second and third positions, and the Croatian Peja Stojavic, a member of the 96 golden generation, is no longer able to run as fast as he was in the Kings because of his age. Because of this, when Peja, who has a huge height advantage, rushed to interfere with Terry, Terry's basketball had already been shot.

This time, Terry, the "old nerve knife", did not waste the opportunity. The three-pointer was hit steadily, and under the defense of Paul, although Yiyang had no chance to score, he sent an extremely beautiful attack. This rookie is not the type who only focuses on the basket.

"Yi's pass is still so elusive, at least he reminded everyone. Even facing Chris, he is not too stretched! No matter how good Paul is, it is impossible to even limit Yi's pass." Yang's performance was full of praise. After all, this guy was facing Chris Paul just now. Being able to play so calmly and calmly in front of Paul is already very good for a first-year rookie.

Even Paul himself secretly admired Yiyang in his heart. Maybe this kid's broad vision and serious attitude will really make him grow into a superstar? He is very different from other rookies!

Although he admires Yiyang very much in his heart, Paul will not be soft on Yiyang, a first-year student, because of this. Even Yiyang knows that the NBA arena is the same as the Woodlands, there is no kindness at all. Well, as Paul, who has played in the NBA for 6 seasons, he knows the truth of this.

A beautiful change of hand and direction allowed Paul to successfully break through by brushing Yiyang's arm. Terry, who was right next to Paul, didn't think much, and immediately dropped his matchup to defend.

When Terry and Yiyang's encirclement circle was about to form, Paul hit the ground and passed, and the basketball rebounded from Terry's legs into Stojavic's hands!

Although the figure of the 96 golden generation has gradually faded from people's vision, as a veteran shooter, Stojavic's ability to open three-pointers is still quite stable.

Yiyang just assisted Terry to hit a three-pointer, and Paul immediately assisted Peja to return one. The scores of the two sides were tied again, and Chris Paul still did not encounter too many obstacles.

"Mine, mine!" Terry knew that it was his intrusion that created the opportunity for Stojavic, but Yiyang knew very well that this time, after Paul successfully broke through him, more than half of the defense had failed. The culprit is still himself.

Unable to defend on the defensive end, Yiyang naturally hopes to catch the score on the offensive end. Paul's defense still prevented Yiyang from getting any chances, but Yiyang saw a lot of passing gaps.

Yiyang calls a pick-and-roll, signaling Paul's former teammate Chandler to go up and set up a wall. Chandler didn't slack off, but Chris Paul got rid of the pick-and-roll at an astonishing speed and returned to Yiyang's side.

Yiyang looked at Paul in the process of dribbling and breaking through, and then suddenly threw the ball into the air!

"Oops!" Paul looked up, a strong body rose from the ground, caught the basketball thrown by Yiyang, and then pressed it hard into the frame!

"The alley-oop! The pick-and-roll cooperation with Chandler was also very impressive! Paul must have mixed feelings now, after all, this was a trick he and Tyson often performed before." Kenny Smith smiled, using his opponent as if he had known him before. It's really interesting to defeat the opponent with the means.

The Hornets continued to counterattack. This time, Paul's sudden pass during the breakthrough gave David West a mid-range shot.

Although Nowitzki's quick defense allowed him to interfere with West's shooting, the basketball bumped and bumped, but it still slipped into the frame in the end.

Ten seconds later, Yiyang's large-scale transfer of the ball diverted the Hornets' defensive attention to Terry, who was secretly ambushing in the corner.

Facing the opponents who came to supplement the defense, Terry did not try his best to shoot, but made another quick pass and gave the ball to Nowitzki.

Everyone thinks that Terry is the end point, but in fact Nowitzki will always be the well-deserved king of offense. Terry made a sudden pass, and the Hornets had no time to react, so they assisted Nowitzki to make a shot.

Although it was not Yiyang's direct assist, as the initiator of this goal, Yiyang still contributed a lot! After all, organizational capability is not a word that can be fully explained by data.

"Chris's speed on the ball, Emeka's big dunk, it's brilliant."

"It's also true, is Terry still there? BOOM! The jets take off again!"

"The last attack in the first quarter, Chris Paul pulled up and shot, and it was completely sealed to his face! But...hit! The basketball is still hit! God, Chris's shot today It was desperately stable! 3.2 seconds, the Mavericks still had 3.2 seconds to attack in the first quarter. Coach Carlisle did not call a timeout, it seems that he hoped that the game would go directly to the second quarter." The game reached the end of the first quarter At this time, the Mavericks still only lead the Hornets by 1 point. And Paul's tough mid-range shot just now boosted the Hornets' morale!

In the first quarter of the game, Yiyang failed to score a point under Paul's defense, but scored 4 assists. Moreover, he also managed the team's offense extremely smoothly.

The No. 1 defender looked at the big screen at the scene. 3.2 seconds, these 3.2 seconds, the Mavericks must have a chance to score!

Some slack Hornets players didn't take it seriously, some of them even headed straight for the bench. In 3.2 seconds, Yiyang has no choice but to shoot directly from a super long distance.

With all his strength, Yiyang threw the basketball into the air in a way almost like a shot put.

Everyone thought it was Yiyang's casual throw, but when the basketball fell into Nowitzki's hands accurately, Vignali in front of the TV was stunned. The accuracy of this long pass is comparable to a top quarterback on a football field!

"Defense! What are you doing!?" David West, who had already walked to the sidelines, was suddenly pushed back by coach Monty Williams.

The bewildered West turned his head, just in time to see the picture of Nowitzki putting the ball lightly into the basket.

West's eyes widened. Didn't the Mavericks even send the baseline ball 3.2 seconds ago?

The moment Nowitzki dropped the ball, the red light on the backboard suddenly lit up. Without hesitation, the referee gestured at the technical platform, indicating that the goal is valid! 24 to 27, relying on Yiyang's incredible long pass at the last moment, the Mavericks temporarily led the Hornets, which had won eight consecutive victories, by 3 points at home!

Yiyang, who scored 0 points and 5 assists without taking a shot in the first quarter, fought against Chris Paul in a different way.

In the past star matchups, what people usually saw were goal battles. But today, Dallas fans got a dazzling feast of assists!
