One Guard

After Yiyang and Nowitzki returned to the court, the advantage that the Hornets finally built up is slowly shrinking.

Willie Green panted heavily. This guy has only played for a short time. Of course, he won't have physical problems so soon. The reason why Green was panting heavily was because he felt a huge sense of oppression!

This feeling of oppression made him almost out of breath. This feeling of oppression did not come from others, but from that first-year flower show!

After Yiyang successfully scored again, the Hornets did not pause, but continued to attack. Monty Williams would not squander the number of timeouts like this, after all, the game has only been restarted for a few minutes.

Under the gaze of Chris Paul, Willie Green, who is not good at playing the first position, took possession of the ball and came to the frontcourt. This player who was originally the second position did not know how to organize the offense at all. He just followed the tactics and wanted to hit the ball into West's hands.

Yiyang saw through Green's eyes and saw his intentions. So at the moment Willie Green started to pass the ball, Yiyang jumped up suddenly, straightened his long arms, and used a blocking action almost like in volleyball, abruptly intercepting the pass!

"Prediction is really good!" Off the field, Chris Paul felt a little surprised. He didn't expect a rookie to have such predictive ability on the defensive end.

After Yiyang intercepted the basketball, he started to accelerate immediately. This Tanhuaxiu is not only fast in absolute speed, but also has excellent acceleration ability.

Even though Willie Green also has extremely strong explosive power, it is very difficult for him to follow behind Yiyang.

Yiyang has always felt that Green is in contact with him, so he will not rush to layup. If the fast break opportunity is wasted due to Green's block or interference, it will not be worth the candle. After all, Yiyang also knows that his layup under physical contact is not his strong point.

The No. 1 guard suddenly raised the basketball as he approached the basket, as if intending to make a layup. Willie Green, who had been waiting for the opportunity for a long time, leaped high, and he had been waiting for a long time for the opportunity to retaliate and steal!

Just when Willie Green was ready to stage a wonderful chase, Yiyang's feet on tiptoe suddenly stuck to the ground, a fake move!

"A fake move in the fast break, Willie Green flew away from Yiyang's head. Facing an empty basket, he easily put the ball in. Haha, I like this kid, I like guys who play with their brains." Kenny Smith looked at Green, whose face was flushed after being teased by Yiyang, and couldn't help applauding.

Yiyang's current physical resistance is indeed not good enough, but this does not mean that Yiyang can only sit and wait for death. There are always ways to make up for these deficiencies.

Yiyang made another mediocre goal, but it was definitely considered a wonderful goal, reducing the difference between the two sides to only 1 point.

"Boss." At this moment, Paul couldn't sit still. He knew that Yiyang's strength was actually beyond the imagination of many people. Now on the Hornets' back line, maybe only he can limit that guy.

"Don't worry, you can take a rest." Monty Williams waved his hand, rejecting Paul's application to take the initiative to play. Paul has played for one and a half consecutive quarters, it is impossible to let him go back immediately after a two-minute break. If Paul is injured again because of being too tired, the Hornets will really lose more than they gain.

But without Paul, the Hornets' disadvantage on the back line is really obvious. This time, Willie Green didn't dare to hold the ball for too long. He just pushed the ball into the Mavericks' half court, and immediately gave the ball to the Italian Belinelli.

As one of the few Italian players playing in the NBA, Belinelli's popularity in Italy is naturally not low. But Vignali, at this time, is cheering for the Chinese from the Mavericks in her heart. She didn't want the momentum of Yiyang's move back to come to an end.

Facing Jose Barea, Belinelli did not hesitate,

Just take the ball and rush. Barea is limited by his physical condition, and his defense is not good at all. After Carlisle let him play the second position, every defense seemed to be preventing misplacement.

Naturally, Belinelli, who has comprehensive offensive skills, will not waste this opportunity. He suddenly stopped and shot a jumper from the middle distance. Jose Barea's interference didn't look threatening at all, and Belinelli even felt that his vision was not blocked at all.

At this moment, Belinelli, who had already aimed at the basket, suddenly went dark! A big hand covered the Italian's face. For Belinelli, who has extremely versatile offensive skills, covering his eyes did not prevent him from shooting. But this sudden one disrupted his shooting rhythm.

In the end, Belinelli's shot was a bit wide and missed. Barea naturally didn't have the ability to suddenly extend his arms. Yiyang, who left Willy Green and interfered with Belinelli, was the real "culprit"!

Another successful defense, which means the Mavericks have a chance to overtake the score. After holding the ball, Yiyang pretended to cross the half court quickly, scaring everyone in the Hornets to retreat immediately, but Yiyang slowed down. He successfully cleared the chaotic half, walked forward unhurriedly, and waited for his teammates to take their positions.

At this time, Willie Green took advantage of Yiyang's lack of physical resistance and increased his physical contact with Yiyang. But Yiyang didn't panic, he controlled the basketball dexterously, and Willie Green didn't have any chance to steal it.

During the entanglement between the two sides, Yiyang suddenly flicked and sent a precise pass with an extremely casual movement.

The basketball fell into Barea's hands, and Barea moved the ball again without hesitation. Everyone thought that the Mavericks would attack from the outside this time, but after Yiyang's organization, the basketball was played to Nowitzki, who was in the inside!

The most terrifying scoring point of the Mavericks has officially started its own revenge!

Facing David West, Nowitzki suddenly turned around and walked towards the baseline. Under West's raised arms, the German forced a layup and made a successful layup. The American Airlines Center Arena immediately became shaken, and the Mavericks completed the overtake in the most perfect way!

Nowitzki yelled after scoring the goal, and all the grievances accumulated off the court were finally released at this moment.

At this time, no matter how calm and calm Monty Williams was, he had to call a timeout.

The rookie coach replaced Paul and Stojakovic, two hot guys, in one breath, and the Hornets regained control of the initiative.

Peja's 3 of 4 shots and Paul's 4 of 5 shots allowed the storm led by Nowitzki and Yiyang to be suppressed again.

At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides became 52 to 47. The Hornets in the away game took a 5-point lead.

Yiyang knew that although he and Nowitzki had an offensive climax in the second half of the second quarter, it did not mean that the Hornets would be vulnerable. To defeat the Hornets, Yiyang had to step over Paul's body.

Willie Green is just a warm-up. In the second half of the game, Yiyang, who has already played well, will fight Paul to the death!

The showdown with the real top point guard is destined not to pass easily. The Hornets are getting closer and closer to their ninth game winning streak, but until the last moment, no one will know whether the swarm can retreat from Dallas.
