One Guard

Sitting off the court, Yiyang looked at the group of guys in black and white jerseys in front of him, and had no other thoughts in his heart except to marvel over and over again. [full text reading]

The five people on the court were of different skin colors, different heights, and some were not even from the same country. But when the five of them get together to play, the whole team is like a precision instrument!

Everyone is a part of this machine, and they do their own work, and it seems that they can never go wrong.

Duncan picks and rolls, Parker breaks through with the ball, Nowitzki switches defenses, and the Frenchman passes the ball back to Duncan in the high post. Kidd stepped forward to block nervously, but Duncan relied on his height advantage to pass the ball directly over Kidd's head. The basketball passed the former super point guard and headed for the penalty area. There, the Argentine demon knife just arrived, took the basketball, and made a three-step layup. The Nets rolled and the Spurs scored.

All of this, the Spurs accomplished smoothly. Even if Nowitzki's defense is timely enough, even if Kidd's defense is active enough. But the San Antonio Spurs are still able to find opportunities from it.

"Do it!" Carlisle, who has always been gentle, waved his fist reluctantly after seeing the Spurs score again. He knew that such a situation would most likely be maintained until the last moment of the game. The Spurs are the kind of team that looks tepid, but can always deliver a fatal blow. To fight against this kind of opponent, you must be tense for 48 minutes. As long as you are not careful, you will be killed by that machine in one fell swoop.

The two sides remained at a stalemate until 5 minutes into the first quarter, and the rotation time had arrived. According to the rotation plan, it was time for Yiyang to replace Kidd.

But this was the first time, and Yiyang felt a little nervous before going on stage. Kidd can guarantee that he will not make mistakes in the fierce and high-pressure confrontation, but Yiyang, he is afraid that if he makes a mistake, he will ruin a great opportunity. He was afraid that his mistakes would cause the team to lose this important game.

On the court, the undersized DeJuan Blair fouled Chandler again. Taking advantage of the dead ball, Kidd walked off the court profusely in sweat and high-fived Yiyang.

"Don't be afraid, you must be patient when fighting them. Don't be impatient, they are just a group of old guys like me, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Kidd knows that the Spurs are a must for rookies, but as long as Yiyang doesn't Make a mistake, and the Spurs can't take advantage of it.

Stepping onto the court, the ATT center boos everywhere. Tony Parker's eyes fell on Yiyang who was walking up, and Yiyang saw that Vivić seemed to be making some gestures, wondering if there was something specially arranged for him. The sense of oppression, the sense of oppression that this team brings to people, is something that fans in front of the TV will never feel. They seem to be able to see through everything, and they can catch your weakness at any time and defeat you in one fell swoop.

Chandler's performance at the free throw line did not seem to be very satisfactory today,

Two free throws, Chandler did not get even a point for the Mavericks. The tall No. 21 didn't jump very high, but he stuck his position firmly and got the defensive rebound. Yiyang hurried back to defense, and the first confrontation with the Spurs began!

Slow, this is the first impression the Spurs' offense gave Yiyang. Although the shot clock is only 24 seconds, it seems like 24 minutes long to this group of guys in white jerseys.

Parker came to Yiyang with the ball, but he didn't show too much aggressiveness. Yiyang's defense is not bad, this point has been clearly studied by Vic. Parker just lightly passed the ball to Ginobili who was on the left.

After the ball was passed, Parker immediately started running! This time, Yiyang felt that the Spurs' offense suddenly sped up!

Yiyang gritted his teeth and followed closely, suddenly, a high wall lay across in front of Yiyang. Yiyang didn't have time to brake, and directly collided with the back of the number "21" printed on the jersey.

Yiyang immediately realized that this was an exquisite off-the-ball pick-and-roll. He tried his best to get rid of it, but Parker had already run far away.

The Frenchman received a pass from his teammate and took a jump shot from a zero-degree mid-range position. Yiyang's blockade like a remedy after a dead sheep is of no avail. The ball was hollowed into the net, and the San Antonio Spurs used a not-so-exciting but extremely effective method to gain a 2-point lead again.

As soon as the game started, Yiyang experienced what the Spurs' offense was all about. On the surface, this group of old guys seems to be playing slowly. But it is not easy to keep up with this "unhappy" rhythm.

Subsequently, the Mavericks counterattacked. Yiyang has been observing the Spurs' defense since he held the ball for halftime. But unfortunately, Yiyang didn't even see the slightest space to pass the ball.

He intends to use a proper breakthrough to help the team break through the opponent's defense, but Parker's superb follow-up footsteps, although there is no way to directly stop Yiyang, but it also does not allow Yiyang to find any opportunities.

In the end, Yiyang, who was pushed to the corner by Parker, had to pass the ball reluctantly. Fortunately, Nowitzki and Yiyang have formed a certain tacit understanding, and the German steadily caught this not-so-good pass.

He took two steps in, and finally turned around and shot a jumper. The basketball hit and Yiyang got an assist, but he was not satisfied with his performance.

Although this is just a regular season, the duel between the Spurs and the Mavericks is not as simple as an ordinary regular season. In football, the battle between two rival teams will always be more intense,

Work harder. This is also applicable to the Spurs and Mavericks!

Yiyang had just escaped from the failed attack, so he had to invest in defense. The Spurs machine will not give the other side any chance of desertion, don't want to lose the game? Then concentrate on fighting to the end.

This time, Parker did not repeat the old trick. Although Yiyang is a rookie, his learning ability is very strong. If he used exactly the same method to deal with him continuously, I am afraid that Yi Yang would not fail again.

So instead of playing off the ball like before, Parker called the pick-and-roll. Yiyang remained unmoved, but only tried to open his arms.

Through the pick-and-roll, Parker broke through. But unlike the Frenchman's imagination, Yiyang did not bypass the pick-and-roll, but directly completed a defense switch with Nowitzki!

Now, standing in front of Parker is Dirk. And standing in front of Duncan is Yiyang.

Of course, Parker will not be stumped by a dislocation. As before, he intends to pass the ball back directly to Duncan. Then Duncan took advantage of his height and shot directly.

However, Yiyang, who had been observing on the bench for a long time, had already expected that Parker would do this. This attack was exactly the same as Parker's attack against Kidd! The moment Parker was about to pass the ball, Yiyang suddenly raised his arms high, ready to steal at any time!

Seeing this situation, the French did not dare to pass the ball. If it gets out, there is a high probability that it will be a mistake! So Parker twisted his body in the air in a daze, and forced a shot!

There is no doubt that his extremely reluctant shot failed to escape the net laid by Nowitzki. Dirk stretched out his long arm and slapped Parker's barely shot.

Yiyang hurriedly stepped up to receive the basketball, and then made a strong pass. The fast-starting Jose Barea caught the basketball while running. He didn't know how Yiyang passed the ball so accurately. He only knew that he had to put the damn basketball into the basket now!

Yiyang's pass and Barea's rapid running made the Mavericks' counterattack take shape instantly. Although Ginobili tried his best to chase back, the demon knife who had begun to lose his hair was no longer as lightning-fast as before.

Barea easily scored the ball in the face of an empty basket, and the Mavericks tied the score again. And this is the seventh time the two sides have been tied today.

"If only he belonged to me!" Seeing that the Spurs lost points, ** Weiqi was not very angry, but looked at Yiyang with some approval. Of course, his expression only lasted for a second or two, and no one would notice.

"How did he do it!? He just received the blocked basketball! All the Spurs players have not reacted yet, but he has already launched a fast break. Could it be that this guy made a quick break before stealing the ball? , are you already planning a fast-break route!?" Kenny Smith should be surprised, because Yiyang not only successfully forced the seasoned Parker to take a shot, but also converted his successful defense into scoring. **Vitch is right, absolutely cannot treat this prospect as a rookie!

Subsequently, Parker did not continue to attack himself. It wasn't because he was afraid of Yiyang, but because the Spurs were already a team with a lot of potential. Rarely do you see a player on the team play with the ball for multiple rounds. Even Duncan has no such "privilege".

Originally, the score between the two sides had been stalemate. Although Yiyang didn't make many achievements on the field, he didn't make any mistakes either.

Carlisle thought that the two sides were evenly matched in the first quarter, but this balance was broken by the tepid Argentine at the last moment.

Ginobili is a sharp guard, once he erupts, no one can stop him. Yaodao made three consecutive shots from outside the three-point line in the last minute, and the basketball also got into the net three consecutive times.

Carlisle, who had already planned to deploy in the second quarter, was irritated by Ginobili's three consecutive three-pointers.

In an instant, the Mavericks fell behind by 6 points. And 6 points is also the biggest difference between the two sides in this game.

This is the case with the Spurs. Under reasonable circumstances, they can also use some unreasonable means to win games.

The miracle of Ginobili scoring 16 points in a single quarter made the Mavericks end the first quarter with great pressure.

Yiyang only got 3 assists in the first quarter and no other statistics. Maybe for other rookies, as long as they don't make mistakes against the Spurs, they will be considered mission accomplished. After all, Vitch doesn't care if you are a rookie or not, he will formulate targeted tactics for you. But Yiyang, Carlisle's demands on him are more than that.

To defeat the Spurs, Yiyang must play a bigger role. This No. 3 show has unknowingly become the key to victory for the Mavericks.

A calm team, an unreasonable demon knife, and a coach who is not easy to mess with. ATT Center, will never be a comfortable place.
