One Guard
Chapter 138: Missing Salt Lake City
Kyle Lowry struggled to control the basketball in his hand under the defense of the Chinese. Although he was not Yao Ming, the pressure Yiyang brought to Lowry was no less than that of Yao Ming. 【Latest chapter reading】
Just when Lowry was at a loss, "Diamond" Scola ran out of space and raised his arm to ask Lowry for the ball.
Without hesitation, Lowry hit the ground with a pass, and the basketball passed Yiyang's palm in a thrilling manner and flew into Scola's hand.
Scola took off and shot directly with the ball in the middle distance, but Nowitzki didn't give the Argentine any chance. He jumped up high, straightened his long arms, and gave Scola a big hat in a daze.
Yiyang quickly grabbed the basketball and advanced quickly, and the Mavericks got a chance to counterattack.
During the advancing process, Yiyang kept observing the running positions of his teammates. Everyone in the Rockets closely followed their matchups, for fear that Yiyang's elusive pass would fly in.
But Yiyang's looking left and right is just an illusion, this guy planned to attack the frame from the very beginning!
Yiyang, who stepped into the three-second zone, suddenly took off, and the unprepared Lowry blocked it hastily. As a result, Lowry was called a defensive foul, and the basketball thrown by Yiyang fell into the net.
"If Yi also hits the free throw, then the Mavericks will widen the point difference to double digits! I don't know how Yao feels now. Should he be happy that his country has a good player, or should he be happy for the Rockets? Do you regret the almost irreversible situation?" Under the watchful eyes of Kenny Smith, Yiyang successfully hit the free throw line and hit a three-pointer. And the point difference between the two teams has also become 10 points.
With 5 minutes left in the game, it stands to reason that 10 points is not an irreversible gap. But from the beginning of the game to the present, the Rockets have never taken the lead. From the first second of the game, the Houstonians were overwhelmed by the "cowboys" who had won 5 consecutive victories, and they have not been able to turn over until now.
Although the point difference has been small, the Mavericks, under the control of Kidd and Yiyang, completely and firmly control the rhythm and direction of the game. The Rockets struggled, but they were still unable to overcome this seemingly small gap.
When Yao Ming, the spiritual leader, could only watch the game on the bench in suits and leather shoes, the Rockets, who were fighting back to back, seemed to be planning to give up the game.
In the last five minutes, the exhausted Rockets resisted for a while before completely collapsing. Although the Rockets' second-year rookie Budinger staged an extremely beautiful windmill dunk for the audience at the last moment of the game, in the garbage time, all the wonderful performances are not worth mentioning.
The current rocket does not have McGrady in 35 seconds and 13 minutes,
There is no iron-blooded Yao Ming who still decided to return to the court after being injured. Yes, it's just the desperation of the head star who has been unable to return and the tragic record of 5 wins and 12 losses. No, after this game, their record will become 5 wins and 13 losses.
In the end, the Rockets lost 91-105 in Dallas. And this result was actually something that most fans could have expected a long time ago.
Yiyang continued to maintain his hot momentum in this game, with 14 points and 6 assists. If Carlisle hadn't let Yiyang and Kidd play double point guards again, maybe Yiyang's assists would not be "only" 6. After all, when two point guards are on the court at the same time, Yiyang is more responsible for scoring, and Kidd is the one who initiates the offense.
By the way, Yiyang let his opponent Kyle Lowry only make 4 of 15 shots today, limiting his shooting percentage to less than 30%. In addition to his outstanding performance on the offensive end, Yiyang's good defense is also becoming a topic of discussion among more and more people.
In the last game, Wade was defended to 1 of 5 shots in a single quarter, but it wasn't because of Yiyang's good luck or a flash in the pan. The role of this guy on the defensive end cannot be reflected by the data of a few steals.
"Don't forget my proposal yesterday." Before the Rockets left, Yao Ming found Yiyang again on the court and reminded him of the national team.
Yiyang nodded slightly, expressing that he would give Yao Ming an answer. But how long it takes to think about it, maybe even Yiyang himself doesn't know.
After defeating the Rockets, the Mavericks also achieved the longest 6-game winning streak this season. But a mere Houston Rockets certainly cannot satisfy the current appetite of the Mavericks.
The time has entered December, and the NBA's first Eastern and Western Rookie Player of the Month awards have also been officially announced.
In the East, John Wall was successfully elected. Of course, the No. 1 pick must also be lucky, lucky that Yiyang is playing in the West. Because another No. 1 pick, Griffin, was not so lucky. The Western Conference Rookie of the Month award fell to Yiyang without any suspense. Griffin, a physical beast, only received nominations.
Although Yiyang didn't have too many explosive performances, he excelled in the fact that he performed very steadily in every game. Under normal circumstances, the performance of rookie players will have ups and downs, but Yiyang has shown a calmness that is different from his age.
On December 1, the Mavericks played against the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. Before today's game started, the NBA officials also awarded Yiyang the Best Rookie of the Month Award in the Western Conference. This is the first personal honor that Yiyang has won since joining the NBA for more than a month.
After the awards ceremony, Yiyang and the Mavericks did not let the fiery atmosphere cool down. Because soon, they used a hearty victory to set off this night of honor that belonged to Yiyang.
Timberwolves' popular forward Kevin Love grabbed 15 rebounds today, but under Nowitzki's defense, he scored only 12 points, and half of them came from free throws.
Love's performance of 3 of 10 shots naturally did not allow him to lead the team to victory. And Yiyang's 16 points, 9 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks are a good explanation of why he was able to beat Griffin to win the best rookie in the Western Conference.
86 to 100, the huge point difference is enough for everyone to guess the scene of the game. Now the Timberwolves can only pray that their Spanish golden boy can be as good as Yiyang when he returns next season.
With seven consecutive victories, on the first day of December, the Mavericks made a good start for themselves with a big victory.
Yiyang seemed very excited, he was able to maintain his form before a long-awaited important game, and this talent show was naturally very happy.
After the game, countless media flocked towards the best rookie in the Western Conference. Even Nowitzki could only watch Yiyang giggle aside.
The reporters asked the same questions, and Yiyang also answered them in the same way. But a problem with one of them made Yiyang stop walking towards the player tunnel.
"The day after tomorrow, the Mavericks will go to Salt Lake City, and you will also meet your old teammates. What kind of mood do you have when you meet him for the first time in the NBA?" This reporter Yiyang looked familiar, and then he thought about it carefully , appears to be a local reporter in Indianapolis. Because when he was playing for the Bulldogs, he often came to press conferences.
"I miss him, but as an opponent in the arena, I don't miss him at all." Yiyang unexpectedly joked with the reporters. After all, this cold guy will finally meet someone who can make him A warm hearted person.
On December 3, the Dallas Mavericks will go to Salt Lake City to challenge the Utah Jazz, who has performed well this season.
Gordon Hayward and Yiyang, these two shocked the American college basketball world last year, made many talented black players bow down, and led Butler University to complete the myth of "Cinderella" and win the NCAA championship The young people will finally usher in their first meeting in the professional arena! Only this time, they will appear on the basketball court as opponents of each other.
I don't know what kind of shocking performance these two guys will bring to the fans in the NBA arena.
The fierce "civil war" between the Bulldogs will finally start!
