One Guard

phone-reading

Protecting the rebounds, it may not take a few seconds for the head coach to say these four words. But it is not easy for players to execute well.

Back from the timeout, after Yiyang played, the Mavericks took the lead in attacking. At this time, everyone in the 76ers team became more focused from the inside out. The offensive ability of this rookie point guard has been well known by the entire league. The door is clipped.

Holiday complied with the request of head coach Collins, and when Yiyang just passed the midfield line, he waved his arms and stuck to it.

Holiday is also 1.93 meters tall. When he raises his arms high, Yiyang's passing vision will indeed be greatly disturbed.

Seeing that the point guards of both sides started to entangle near the halftime line, even Reggie Miller on the commentary stage was sweating for Yiyang.

But Yiyang didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, because a loophole had appeared in the seemingly impenetrable defense of the 76ers.

Yiyang saw the timing, suddenly raised his hand, and pushed the basketball out forcefully.

Holiday only saw the orange basketball coming towards him, and he subconsciously raised his hand to steal it, but Yiyang passed the ball so fast that Holiday had no time to react. He's not a superhero, but he can't do things like catch "bullets" with his bare hands.

Wiping Holiday's scalp, the basketball flew straight into the penalty area. This sudden pass made many people have no time to react, but it was different from Nowitzki, who had a tacit understanding in Yiyang.

Just when people were still guessing who the pass was for, the German suddenly appeared in the middle, received the basketball firmly with both hands, and directly attacked the basket in three steps!

It turned out that the 76ers starting power forward Elton Brand had just been thrown away by Nowitzki with a reverse run. This fleeting opportunity, not only did not escape Yiyang's eyes, Yiyang also used a wonderful pass to securely send the basketball to Nowitzki who had the opportunity.

After receiving the basketball, there was no one in front of Nowitzki. He took two big steps, stretched his arms, and gently sent the basketball to the basket.

Two-time All-Star Brand and 76ers center Spencer Hawes tried their best to take off and block the shot, but the layup was too sudden. He even covered the basketball while jumping. The basketball eventually fell into the net, and the Mavericks took the lead after falling behind by less than 30 seconds!

"As soon as Yi came on the court, he helped the Mavericks break the deadlock with a very beautiful through pass. It was a deadly pass. All the passing routes seemed so obvious to Yi!"

Holiday reluctantly ran to the baseline to catch the ball. This time he did not lose his position in defense. If the exact same situation happened to Holiday just now, he might not dare to pass that kind of ball. But the Chinese not only dared to fight, but also succeeded.

"Get the ball running, don't fall into singles!" After Holiday took control of the ball and passed half court, 76ers coach Collins also started to shout from the sidelines early. It is clear how strong the 76ers' desire to win is now. You know, the game hasn't even finished the first quarter yet.

In fact, even if Collins didn't remind him, Holiday would still run the ball. This guy is not the kind of guard whose primary goal is to score. Just as Yiyang opened his arms, Holiday threw the ball to Iguodala.

Peja, who was defending Iguodala, was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of footwork. Iguodala was not polite today, leaning on Peja with a strong body and faster footsteps to enter the penalty area.

At this moment, the two insiders of the 76ers, Brand and Hawes, one pulled to the middle distance, and the other pulled directly outside the three-point line. The basket was completely emptied, and Peja wanted to defend successfully, only by himself!

Although speed and body are not dominant, Peggina's height can be compared to the fourth position, but it can also allow him to play a role on the defensive end.

After Iguodala broke into the three-second zone, he layup directly. If an ordinary player in the third position is defending him now,

Maybe Iguodala has scored. But when Peja straightened his arms and jumped up to block the shot, the extremely high defensive range still forced Iguodala to change the arc of his layup.

However, as soon as the arc was changed, an accident happened. Iguodala made a layup across Peja, and the basketball "struggled" past Peja's fingertips. But because the arc was too high, he failed to fall into the net accurately, but hit the edge of the basket and bounced out.

At this time, the four elders on both sides were on the outside. The competition for rebounds is bound to become extremely fierce.

Holiday, Peja, Iguodala, Meeks and others took off at the same time. Just as these hands stretched out towards the basketball, Yiyang's palm was suddenly higher than everyone else's, and he grabbed the rebound first ball!

Landing in the crowd, Yiyang immediately hugged the basketball in his arms. Seeing that there was no chance of stealing, the other 76ers had no choice but to retreat unwillingly.

"With his bounce and smart mind, if he plays a center, he can eat up all the rebounds!" Kidd couldn't help smiling at Carlisle who was beside him when he saw Yiyang pull up to protect the rebound.

"He can eat all the rebounds even if he doesn't play center forward." As everyone knows, Carlisle has more confidence in Yiyang than Kidd.

After grabbing the rebound, Yiyang controlled the ball and pushed forward, but he didn't take advantage of it to speed up, but gestured leisurely, waiting for his teammates to get in position.

An excellent point guard can still threaten the opponent's defense even if he doesn't score. The current Yiyang has obviously achieved this.

As soon as the young No. 1 guard's toes touched the three-point line, he asked Chandler for a pick-and-roll. "Boxing champion" Tyson mentioned a high cover, and Yiyang also went on to cover and break through.

Seeing Yiyang attacking with a pick-and-roll, Collins wasn't afraid at all. For Yiyang, he has already arranged a strategy of unlimited defense changes. Even if this guy passes Holiday, another player will come forward to block him.

From the looks of it, everything seems to be ok. The problem is that Spencer Hawes, the 76ers' space-type fifth position, his athletic ability cannot support him to defend.

After passing the pick-and-roll, Hawes had just switched in front of him, and Yiyang suddenly started to speed up!

Yiyang is not only fast after rushing up, but the speed of starting that step is also amazing. Hawes tried to move laterally with heavy lumbering steps, but was still half a step slower.

After Yiyang completed the overtaking, he made an emergency stop and took off, looking as if he was going to score with his special emergency stop jumper.

But after Yiyang took off, he did not shoot, but lightly tossed the ball.

Yiyang's speedy breakthrough attracted Hawes's full attention, so that he didn't know that Chandler quickly cut to the basket from behind him.

The basketball was thrown high by Yiyang, and Chandler cut inside again. What will happen next, is there still suspense?

"Boxing King" Tyson comfortably grabbed the basketball in the air, stretched out his body, and then put all his strength into it!

When Hawes turned his head in surprise, Chandler just completed the dunk, and the rim shook.

"alley-oop!!!! A wonderful pass from Yi! A simple pick-and-roll made Yi perform a wonderful show. The 76ers' defense can't just focus on people, because Yi, You can use the other four teammates as your offensive weapons!" Reggie Miller was taken aback by Chandler's strong dunk, and it seemed that the 76ers' defense seemed to have no loopholes, but Yiyang was able to complete it. Such a great show.

2 assists, Yiyang has contributed 2 assists not long after playing. 76ers coach Collins is a little helpless, he can't ask the players to correctly judge Yiyang's passing route every time.

Hawes reluctantly picked up the basketball, the Mavericks have too many offensive methods. Even if you enumerate all the possibilities, it is impossible to successfully prevent all of them.

In the next attack, Holiday decided to single out Yiyang and put pressure on the opponent on the offensive end.

Although both are 1.93 meters tall, Holiday's wingspan is not as good as Yiyang's. When Yiyang stretched his arms in front of Holiday, the black defender felt that what he was facing was not Yiyang, but a wide wall!

Yiyang is very smart. Instead of using the press defense like Holiday, he let Holiday take a few steps.

It can be seen that this guy has already studied the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents. Although Holiday has excellent organizational skills, his scoring average has soared to 14 points per game this season. But really, as a guard, this guy's shot is very inconsistent.

This is Yiyang's strategy today!

Seeing that there was no chance, Holiday passed the ball, hoping to get rid of the Chinese by running.

Can't beat Yiyang with the ball, can Holiday beat Yiyang without the ball? From the beginning to the end, Holiday seemed to be followed by a yellow "ghost".

Just when you thought there was no threat, when you turned your head, you found that the Chinese man wearing the No. 1 jersey was still behind you.

Being unable to get rid of Yiyang means that Holiday has lost the possibility of receiving the ball again. Originally Collins hoped that Holiday would restrain Yiyang, but looking at it now, his favorite weapon was restrained by Yiyang first.

The 76ers' tactics couldn't be executed, but the time was ticking by. Meeks had no choice but to bite the bullet and force a shot before the end of the 24-second attack time.

As a result of this, the 76ers lost another chance to continue scoring.

Meeks shot the ball a little hard, so it was a long rebound. The four insiders scrambled under the basket, but only touched the basketball.

The basketball began to jump outside, and the 76ers also hoped to seize this second attack opportunity.

But it's a pity that Yiyang's desire for rebounding today is higher than usual.

Meeks, Holiday, and Yiyang scrambled together. Yiyang couldn't guarantee that he would be able to take the basketball steadily, so he didn't catch the ball when he took off to grab the rebound. dial!

The ball was flicked by Yiyang and flew towards the 76ers half court. Yiyang, who changed the trajectory of the basketball with his own hands, naturally reacted faster. After landing, he quickly turned around and chased after the basketball.

Huo Ledi and Yiyang straightened their arms at the same time, but Yiyang was still one step faster, controlled the basketball, and pushed forward quickly!

Meeks and Holiday followed Yiyang, one left and one right. Yiyang quickly scanned the surroundings, but there was no suitable passing route. For this goal, I had to score against the chasing defense of two people!

In a blink of an eye, the three defenders ran into the three-second zone like lightning. Yiyang had no choice but to force himself directly.

Holiday and Meeks also tried their best to block, but after being in the air, the two found that they were always one step away from the basketball.

Relying on his advantages in jumping and wingspan, Yiyang successfully avoided the block. But at the moment when he was about to dunk the ball into the basket, Meeks' arm stretched out to reach the basketball accidentally crushed Yiyang.

Yiyang lost his center of gravity in an instant, but his arm was still reaching the basket. When Yiyang dunked the ball in with his arms hanging from the basket, his torso was already crumbling under the weight of Meeks.

As soon as Yiyang sent his fingers away, he fell down on the hardwood floor abruptly.

Meeks immediately raised his hand to signal that he was fouled. He didn't mean it at all, so there's no need to make a big deal out of it. The referee also immediately blew his whistle, indicating that Yiyang had a chance to hit a three-pointer.

Old Kidd stood up abruptly and applauded Yiyang's tough dunk.

2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 points. Another triathlon guard like Kidd has silenced Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center.
