One Guard
Chapter 159: The Second Buzzer
Watching Yiyang complete an alley-oop led by a touch pass through the TV, Stevens just smiled faintly, not surprised at all.
When Yiyang first entered the Bulldogs team, the fancy moves this guy practiced on the street were simply dazzling. If it weren't for Stevens' suppression, Yiyang's playing style might be very different from what it is now.
Through the university trials, although Yiyang's movements have become more regular, it doesn't mean that Yiyang has completely abandoned the routine he practiced on the street. That magical elbow pass and the astonishing alley-oop just now are the result of Yiyang's fancy tricks in the regular.
In the past, Yiyang's too flashy movements were just flashy, but now, Yiyang has been able to combine practicality and good looks.
In Stevens' view, there will be more passes like today's. Yiyang is willing to try any move as long as he can effectively deliver the ball to the opponent, as long as he can confuse the opponent.
Although Stevens knew that Yiyang's lob was not accidental, but for those who did not know Yiyang as well as he did, this ball will undoubtedly be deeply engraved in their minds. Even the Blazers players who fought against Yiyang on the court were no exception.
When others recalled the pass just now, they may just think that this ball is very exciting and has endless aftertaste. But the Blazers players recalled that scene with nothing but endless shame.
After defeating Roy, that boy Yiyang helped the team gain a 10-point lead in the second half of the game. These blows one by one have already shaken the morale of the Trail Blazers.
"Use our counterattack to put pressure on them! We can't let the Mavericks play so easily anymore. The strength on the field has nothing to do with the ranking, but with your hands!" Coach McMillan kept reminding his boys not to give up , but when you run into an opponent who can play you at will, it's really hard for players to cheer up.
During this timeout, in addition to arranging some defensive positions, McMillan spent more time encouraging the players.
Fortunately for McMillan, at least Aldridge, who is desperate to win today, has not given up.
Under the cheers of the Mavericks fans, Aldridge leaned on Nowitzki and yelled, asking for the ball at Old Miller. You know, this taciturn and quiet striker seldom yells like this.
Miller didn't dare to slack off. Seeing Yiyang raised his arms to block the top lane, the old Miller used a ground pass to deliver the shell to the most threatening "weapon" of the Trail Blazers. ..
Even though it's not long before the second half of the game begins,
Nowitzki is already dripping with sweat. The Germans have played against Aldridge many times before, but never once, Aldridge's style will be so tough.
Aldridge held the ball with his back to the basket and shook his shoulders. Nowitzki didn't know whether this guy was going to turn over for a jumper or break through, so the center of gravity also swayed left and right following Aldridge's fake action.
Aldridge's sensitive back clearly felt Nowitzki's struggle. After turning around and jumping to deceive Nowitzki into losing his position completely, Aldridge suddenly changed his center of gravity, turned in the opposite direction, and broke through directly!
This time, the experienced Nowitzki was completely wiped out. Aldridge still chooses to dunk in the face of Chandler who is coming to supplement the defense! Under Chandler's violent impact, Aldridge dunked the basketball vigorously. But the referee also called Chandler a foul.
Although the ball was not dunked in, Aldridge's tough offense was still very imposing. Yiyang knows very well that as long as the No. 2 does not fall, the Trail Blazers will never admit defeat!
At the free throw line, Aldridge may be more composed than Yiyang. Amidst the boos of the Mavericks fans, the big man who didn't talk much still made two free throws. At this time, his scoring data has completely thrown off Dirk.
What's the best way to crush an opponent? Of course, let him be defeated by his own counterpoint. In the second quarter of the game, Yiyang used this almost cruel method to beat Roy, who had just cheered up, to the bench again.
So this time the Mavericks' offense, Nowitzki also very much hopes to return one on the head of Aldridge. Seeing that the Germans rarely have such a strong desire to hold the ball on the offensive end, the Mavericks players will naturally serve their star.
"Stay here, stay here!" Seeing Nowitzki's butt sitting back, McMillan also yelled from the sidelines, reminding Aldridge to hold on! Before the ball was scored, the hand-to-hand combat between the two power forwards had entered a fierce stage.
Yiyang created a gap through a quick backhand change, and this gap was enough for him to send the ball to "Nuo Tianwang".
Nowitzki didn't hesitate after holding the ball, and now Aldridge sits firmly in the lower body in order to prevent himself from hitting his back. Therefore, it is difficult for the center of gravity to jump forward quickly, so Nowitzki used his signature move, the golden rooster retreats independently!
The German's action was so perfect that the Mavericks fans had already started cheering ahead of time. But Aldridge's desire to win today far exceeded Dirk's imagination.
I saw that the big man No. 2 jumped forward desperately, looking like he wanted to be crushed on Dirk with his whole body.
Under Aldridge's hard defense, the basketball thrown by Nowitzki circled twice in the basket, but it still came out!
"LaMarcus's defense was successful! Unyielding fighter! The Blazers counterattacked. The old Miller made a quick shot. Wesley Matthews chased after receiving the basketball and scored a three-pointer! Yes! The goal scored Alright! The Trail Blazers' counterattack was very effective, and now they have successfully narrowed the point difference to 5 points!"
Looking at everything that happened on the field, McMillan couldn't help shouting excitedly. When the timeout was just suspended, the morale of the players was not very high. He himself thought that the Trail Blazers would encounter big trouble next. However, it turns out that it is often not the head coach who can boost the morale of a team, but the leader on the basketball court!
Aldridge's toughness turned the entire Trail Blazers into an unyielding chaser. In the following games, although the Trail Blazers did not complete the overtake, the Mavericks could not get rid of the opponent who had been chasing after him.
Aldridge played crazy on both offense and defense today. Yiyang has broken through his rookie wall, but Aldridge hasn't proved himself yet.
This anxious situation lasted until the last moment of the entire game. When people thought that the Trail Blazers were about to end, Aldridge would always use practical actions to lead the team to continue.
In the last 40 seconds of the game, Aldridge received the ball from the mid-range face frame. Nowitz basically thought that this guy would hit him with his back, but unexpectedly that No. 2 suddenly broke through!
The German moved laterally with his stride, but Aldridge put Dirk on his shoulder and forced his way to the basket.
In order to pull away Tyson Chandler, McMillan sent veteran center Joel Pulzbila. Although the white center is not stable in mid-range shooting, at this critical moment, Chandler did not dare to completely let go of this 2-meter-tall "short-range turret."
Between Chandler's hesitation, Aldridge has successfully entered the penalty area and successfully dunked with one hand against Nowitzki's body!
"Ah!" Aldridge yelled up to the sky after the successful dunk, and even the tens of thousands of fans at the scene couldn't cover up his shouts.
"LaMarcus played a bloody game! Regardless of whether he wins or loses, after today's game, no one will question this guy's leadership in the Trail Blazers!" Even the critical "Flying Pig", Today is also admiration for Aldridge.
That dunk just now allowed Aldridge to score his 35th point of the game! Nowitzki, who has missed all 4 three-pointers so far, has only scored 2 points. At least in terms of today's performance, Aldridge is actually above Nowitzki.
At this time, with 30 seconds left before the end of the game, the Trail Blazers trailed by two points. As long as this ball can be defended, the Trail Blazers will have a chance to tie the score or even win the game!
Now, the Mavericks' back line is partnered by Kidd and Yiyang. The solid organizational skills of these two guards are bound to make it difficult for the Trail Blazers to defend this time.
Kidd's skillful ball control made McMillan very nervous off the court. Although Kidd is an old guy who is nearly forty years old, his passing is still like a sharp dagger, which can cut the enemy's throat at any time.
Kidd walked slowly across the midfield line, then stopped at the Mavericks' LG, gesticulating and directing the offense. Time wasting, the last thing the Mavericks need now is time!
But McMillan is not afraid of Kidd's delay. Even if the delay is full of 24 seconds, the Trail Blazers still have a second to execute the final attack. With a timeout in hand, as long as the ball can be defended, Kidd can take as long as he wants.
On the backboard, the timer's time is slowly decreasing. The tall and strong Wesley Matthews has been keeping a close eye on Yiyang, for fear that this talent show will suddenly leave his eyes.
When the attack time on the backboard became 0, Yiyang standing in the left corner suddenly started!
"Stop him!" McMillan pointed at Yiyang's back and shouted loudly. He didn't know if Yiyang's movement was a feint or he was really planning to catch the ball. Either way, McMillan doesn't allow the in-form defender to run out of space.
Matthews clings to Yiyang's back. As an inspirational role model from a draft pick to the NBA, Matthews' unyielding spirit and strict defense are one of the important reasons why he can gain a foothold in the NBA.
Yiyang slid across the baseline, and Chandler immediately crossed to set up an off-ball screen for Yiyang.
Matthews hurriedly bypassed the pick-and-roll and continued to chase. Although he was still biting hard, Yiyang did distance himself a little bit from him.
Yiyang ran all the way, from the bottom corner on the left to the corner on the right. At this time, the Blazers' defensive formation was pulled apart, because they didn't know who on the Mavericks side would be the end point of the last shot. This is the terrible thing about the Mavericks, everyone may be the end point!
Seeing that Yiyang is in position, Kidd starts to pass the ball! But Kidd's hand was pushed straight ahead. Everyone thought Yiyang's movement was a feint, and Kidd still planned to pass the ball to Nowitzki!
A surprising scene happened. Although Kidd was pushing his hands straight ahead, the basketball flew towards Yiyang who was standing on the right! Kidd tricks everyone with a trick on the wrist!
In terms of the deceptiveness and appreciation of passing, Kidd is Yiyang's teacher!
The unexpected pass made Matthews fail to react in time, Yiyang caught the basketball steadily, and then broke through to the inside!
Matthews opened his strong arms, he would not let Yiyang break through his defense so easily. But Yiyang didn't slow down, he seemed to be heading towards the "wall" of Matthews.
Just when the two were about to collide, Yiyang suddenly stopped, and one of them changed direction, intending to break through to another route!
But how could Matthews be thrown off so easily? He immediately changed his center of gravity, quickly moved sideways, and blocked it again.
No one does not applaud Matthews' wonderful defense, except of course the Mavericks fans. However, after Matthews changed his focus to block, Yiyang has not given up yet. He immediately changed hands behind his back and hit the ball to his right again. After that, the whole person passed by Matthews immediately!
The frequency of Yiyang changing directions twice in a row was so fast that Matthews had no time to react for the second time! In this way, Yiyang broke through the perimeter defender.
Yiyang is like a high-speed train, directly piercing Matthews. There was an uproar in the audience, such an overbearing speed!
Seeing this situation, Aldridge rushed towards Yiyang like crazy. But Yiyang had already made an emergency stop, and the basketball brushed Aldridge's fingertips and flew towards the basket.
McMillan's movements froze, and he could even clearly hear the sound of his heart beating rapidly.
"Beep~~~" The electronic buzzer resounded throughout the audience, and the red lights around the backboard suddenly lit up.
"Shua!" This crisp sound gave all the players of the Trail Blazers a violent blow to their hearts!
Yiyang made a shot at the buzzer at the critical moment. The rookie's second buzzer shot today almost killed the game!
