One Guard

phone-reading

Higher, faster, stronger, this is a saying that almost everyone has heard, it is the famous Olympic motto and one of the slogans of the Olympic movement. But if this sentence is put into the NBA playoffs, Yiyang will definitely not feel any sense of disobedience.

The intensity of the playoffs has changed greatly, completely beyond Yiyang's own imagination. This kind of span makes the NBA game completely different. Kidd and Carlisle talk about doing their best every day. It is not just a casual talk, but must be practiced.

Just like the rebound just now, during the regular season, Yiyang can put it in his arms with just a light jump. But in the playoffs, the basketball doesn't fly into your hands unless you play hard.

Although Yiyang did not perform well in two consecutive rounds, he still wants to thank Aldridge and Gerald Wallace. At least these two guys made Yiyang quickly realize what the playoffs are all about. thing.

Do your best, really do your best. Even if it's just a rebound, you must do your best to compete.

So when Yiyang took possession of the ball and attacked for the second time, his mentality was completely different. He began to slowly adapt to the style of the playoffs, and then continued to shine under this style.

This time, Yiyang did not choose to break through by himself, but passed the ball to Marion in the corner.

Marion controls the ball and runs towards the top of the arc, while Yiyang runs through the crowd towards the bottom corner.

Today, the old Miller's defense against Yiyang can be described as inseparable. A guy like Miller Sr. is definitely a typical "playoff player." In the regular season, this kind of old guy may paddle all the way, and occasionally burst out to show that he can still play.

But when it comes to the playoffs, the seasoned veteran is a different story. They know that they may not be able to fight every 82 regular season games. But in the decisive playoffs, they must fight every game.

Therefore, even though it was very difficult, the old Miller still followed behind Yiyang at all costs.

Seeing that there was no chance to pass the ball, Marion had no choice but to pass the ball to Nowitzki who came from a high position. After that, Nowitzki and Yiyang played a hand-off to let Yiyang regain control of the ball.

Yiyang and Dirk's hand-to-hand play was very mature. After Nowitzki handed the ball to Yiyang, he took advantage of the situation and blocked it, which greatly delayed the old Miller's defense that could not keep up.

After getting rid of the old Miller, Aldridge immediately switched defenses and stood in front of Yiyang. During the regular season, Yiyang had several single-handed matches with Aldridge, and Yiyang won more times. But when it came to the playoffs, Aldridge didn't want to let the rookie guard get away with it.

Yiyang lowered his shoulders, accelerated, and made a breakthrough. Aldridge used his body to hold on tightly, preventing Yiyang from rushing up. It seems that Yiyang's breakthrough is difficult, but in fact, Yiyang's real purpose is not to attack the frame, but to attract the defense.

Just when the Blazers' defense shrunk slightly, Yiyang, who was staring at the basket, suddenly threw the basketball behind him. Now people won't be surprised when they see Yiyang perform no-look passes. It would be surprising if there are not a few of Yiyang's no-look passes in a game.

Although the ball did not look at people, it was passed very accurately. The height is just right, which not only ensures that the old Miller cannot get the ball, but also ensures that Nowitzki can receive it comfortably.

In this way, a classic tactic of the Mavericks gave Nowitzki a nearly open opportunity. Although the old Miller is in front of Nowitzki, he is only 1.88 meters tall and it is impossible for him to cause any interference to Dirk.

All the Mavericks fans stood up with their arms raised high, and the blue ocean in the stands seemed to be tumbling. Nowitzki took the shot calmly, but the old Miller only dared to raise his arms, and didn't dare to rush forward at all. He knew that Dirk Nowitzki would take the initiative to find a foul to get himself to the free throw line when he made a forward jump at such a close distance.

It is such a seemingly perfect opportunity, such a goal that seems to be scored.

But in the end, the basketball had a close contact with the basket and did not fall into the net!

"Yi's pass was very beautiful, but Dirk didn't seize the opportunity! The Trail Blazers protected the rebound. It seemed that the Mavericks didn't find the feeling of the game at the beginning of the game!"

"Damn it, how could it be!?" Nowitzki waved his hand unwillingly, and quickly returned to defense. Obviously, there was no problem with the touch during training these days, so why did it all change in the game.

There is not much time left for Nowitzki to think, because the Blazers counterattacked quickly. As soon as the old Miller stepped across the midfield line, he made a diagonal pass and sent the ball to Gerald Wallace, who was advancing at the same high speed.

Wallace received the ball from beyond the left three-point line. He didn't stop, but looked around while running towards the basket. Leon was three or four steps away from him, and it was impossible to catch up with him. So "Elvis" made up his mind to attack the frame by himself!

In the spring of 1999, Brick Odinger, who had been an analyst for 23 years, heard about a guy named Gerald Wallace in Alabama, and said he had no impression of him.

In the summer, he went to the Adidas training camp, and he became as excited as Bole saw a Maxima, and moved out his dusty advanced vocabulary that was used to analyze the young Jordan. "Can run the floor, shoot 3s, run like apocalypse every possession. In nearly two decades, no high school student has ever given me that feeling."

so what? "He's one of the greatest prospects in high school history!"

And the label "He is the best combination of athletic ability and physique!" was affixed to the young Wallace.

Indeed, the former Gerald Wallace did give people this feeling. His explosive athletic ability allowed him to end the offense with extremely fast running and earth-shattering dunks in counterattacks.

But after being "pumped into your lungs" by Bynum in 2009, Wallace's athletic ability began to decline year by year.

Now Wallace is not fast, and his dunks are not as shocking as before. But he still believed that it was impossible for that old guy Marion to catch up with him.

So, this guy who was looking for a new starting point in the Trail Blazers took two dribbles and took two big steps, intending to dunk the Dallas people a little bit!

This time, Wallace jumped very high, as if returning to his peak period. In the air, the black forward tried his best to stretch his body, hoping to experience the feeling of stalking the basket.

Soar, glide, exert force! Gerald Wallace swung his arm violently, and Vignelli in the stands was ready to accept the visual impact.

Just when Gerald Wallace was about to dunk the ball into the basket, a black shadow suddenly struck from the side, and slammed the basketball in Wallace's hand into the stands.

"Bang!" The basket still made a loud noise, but the basketball was not dunked into the basket. The fans in the stands raised their arms and cheered, this shocking hat is really wonderful!

"Impossible!?" Gerald Wallace couldn't believe that Marion could catch up with him. Although his athletic ability was not as good as before, it was impossible for Marion in his thirties to run so fast.

When Wallace turned his head, he realized he was wrong. It wasn't Marion who blocked him, but Yiyang who came out of nowhere!

"Also! Volleyball hat! God, he flew the basketball fan directly into the stands! It was so fast, so fast! Can you see Charles, this guy is like a lightning bolt, running through the audience, with extremely fast speed The speed rushed to Gerald Wallace's side! This is not the first time that Yi has staged a good show of blocking dunks, but believe me, this is definitely the most exciting one!" Kenny Smith did not expect that the game would not take long, The first climax came. Although the Mavericks failed to succeed in the previous two rounds of offense, this block undoubtedly reminded everyone in the Trail Blazers. The Dallas Mavericks, ranked third in the West, are by no means soft persimmons!

Nowitzki excitedly rushed up and pushed Yiyang violently. Yiyang didn't respond, but his face was fierce. It seems that this successful block also fully stimulated his own adrenaline.

After that, the Trail Blazers sent a sideline kick. However, Yiyang's block has mobilized the emotions of his teammates. Under the hard-working defense of the Mavericks, the Blazers' offense still ended in failure.

Thus, the Mavericks got a third chance to attack. The Mavericks missed the first two offenses. But now that the team's morale is boosted, all Mavericks players hope to break the scoring drought.

Yiyang still intends to organize an attack, and doesn't want to score by himself. As a starter, he needs to drive the team's offensive sense first.

After Yiyang's organization and the guidance of his teammates, the basketball was finally played in Dirk's hands. Nowitzki vs. Aldridge, this is the focus of this series. In the first few rounds, neither striker was able to score on each other's head. This time, Nowitzki is very likely to take the lead.

When advancing to the vicinity of the three-second zone, Nowitzki used his best golden rooster independent step-back jumper. However, after three or four laps of the basketball, it still came out!

"No, Dirk's luck is really bad. This should have been a goal, but it slipped out dramatically. It seems that the defensive intensity in the playoffs is indeed great. So far, the two sides have combined for a total of Just one goal." Barkley shook his head in disappointment, but that's what the playoffs are about.

The scores in each game in the playoffs are generally lower than in the regular season, which is the result of tight defense.

Nowitzki missed again, but Aldridge failed to keep up with Dirk. This time, with the help of Marcus Camby's off-ball pick-and-roll, Aldridge went to the mid-range position to receive the pass and made an open mid-range shot.

Aldridge is absolutely sure of shooting from this distance. The basketball made a hollow hit, 4 to 0!

"It seems that the Trail Blazers have gradually found a way to score, while the Mavericks have still not scored a goal so far. As I said earlier, the Mavericks will always have various problems in the playoffs!" Barkley Again began sharp criticism, in his view, this is simply the normal performance of the Mavericks in the playoffs.

Seeing Nowitzki miss consecutively, Carlisle was also a little distressed. Yiyang is feeding Dirk the ball according to the tactics, and Carlisle always likes to feed Dirk's touch at the beginning of the game. But judging from the current situation, if you continue to feed, it may be quite dangerous.

So Carlisle made a gesture to Yiyang from the sidelines. Yiyang took a look and continued to control the ball. The meaning of that gesture is to tell Yiyang to score by himself!

Yiyang passed the ball to Stevenson this time, and at the same time, Marion slid in from the baseline. Stevenson found Marion in the crowd, passed the ball through, and when Marion rushed to the basket, he just caught the ball!

"What a risky move! No matter whether Marion or Stevenson's timing is not right, there is a high possibility of mistakes!"

In the cold sweat of the fans, Marion caught the basketball under the basket! But instead of attacking the rim, the former All-Star forward lobbed the ball into the left corner amidst the crowd!

Yiyang rushes to catch the ball and shoot it! Old Miller, who had already shrunk towards Marion, rushed out, but Yiyang had already made the shot.

Marshal Stevens in the stands brightened his eyes, and once again saw Yiyang shoot a three-pointer on the spot. He found that guy's shooting movements were more standard, and his shooting speed was much faster. It seems that Yiyang has learned a lot from his group of NBA teammates.

The basketball flew over the old Miller's head and flew to the basket, but he didn't panic because Yiyang was notoriously inaccurate on three-pointers. In most people's minds, Yiyang's three-pointer may be better than Rajon Rondo.

However, this is not the case. At the beginning of the season, Yiyang's three-point shooting rate was indeed very unsatisfactory. But after the game entered February, Yiyang's three-pointers began to become more and more accurate. The joining of Peja has made Yiyang's improvement in three-pointers by leaps and bounds. It's just that many people habitually ignore all of this.

"Swipe!" The Nets finally had white waves, and the Mavericks scored a goal!

"YI~~~~Three~~~~~" The DJ shouted loudly, and then the fans in the stands gave Yiyang the warmest applause.

When Nowitzki feels bad, Yiyang, a rookie, can lead the team out of the predicament as a scoring point. And this is also an important reason why Carlisle made Yiyang the starter.

Now, every team has several scoring points and even several stars playing together. If you continue to start with Kidd, the Mavericks scoring points will become too monotonous. Marion has passed his peak, Stevenson and Chandler are more offensive than defensive, as for Kidd, he is no longer a scorer now.

But the appearance of Yiyang changed the situation. The Mavericks can have more offensive options, and most importantly, this change has had an immediate effect.

"Next, you continue to attack!" Carlisle yelled into the field when Yiyang ran to retreat. Now that Yiyang feels good, let him continue to burn!

Nate McMillan smiled helplessly as he looked at Yiyang who quickly retreated and opened his arms. That Cuban guy is so lucky, he picked up a treasure.
