One Guard
Chapter 229: The King of the Last Day
phone-reading
Faced with this kind of conceded goal, McMillan really has nothing to do off the court. Before the game, he emphasized more than once that Yiyang should not be given too many chances to hit the basket, and his players also implemented it seriously. But Yiyang still hit the Blazers basket with a beautiful pull-up layup.
The loss was not at the tactical level, but at Yiyang's personal ability. Getting past Marcus Camby is as easy as passing a stake for a rookie like Yiyang.
"Also! An impeccable goal! Neither Aldridge nor Marcus Camby can do anything!" The moment the basketball hit the net, Kenny Smith shouted excitedly. Who wouldn't love to see a story about a hero's return? In Kenny Smith's view, Yiyang still has the possibility to become the protagonist today.
"It's okay, attack, continue to attack!" McMillan calmed down the emotions of the players on the sidelines, and it was no big deal to be scored. But the morale of the team must not be broken because of this goal.
The Trail Blazers, still with a five-point lead, attacked the Mavericks under the unhurried advance of the old Miller.
Yiyang clapped his hands vigorously to attract the attention of his teammates, and then opened his arms again.
Although it is just a simple action, but now, every Mavericks player will defend harder. No one is willing to lose to a rookie!
Old Miller experienced the "hospitality" of the Chinese before he even got close to the three-point line this time. Yiyang adopted a tough oppressive defense against the old Miller, making it very difficult for this guy to even get the ball out.
This oppression is not only on the first position. Now the Blazers feel a strong sense of oppression in five positions on the field.
The old Miller played the ball to Wallace, this striker was taken by Yiyang Fei today, but when it is time for him to stand up, he will never be afraid and soft-hearted.
I saw the strong Wallace feinted a shot after receiving the basketball, cheated Marion's center of gravity and went straight into the penalty area like an armed car.
Wallace leaps high for a layup. But before the basketball was released, someone pinned it on the backboard from behind.
This time, it was not Yiyang who blocked Wallace, but the "boxing champion" Tyson who was infected by Yiyang.
"Chandler's shots are hot and he brings energy to the Mavericks!"
After Chandler finished blocking the shot, he passed the ball to Yiyang. Yiyang was not polite, turned around and ran away!
Yiyang's push speed is very fast, he pushes fast, and the whole Mavericks team naturally pushes fast. The point guard is the metronome on the basketball court. He alone determines the rhythm of the team's offense.
When Yiyang was one step behind the free throw line with the ball, he suddenly slammed a sideways pass. Marion, who followed closely behind, came from behind, took the basketball and directly entered the penalty area in three steps.
Everyone thought this would be a fast break, and everyone thought Marion was the final point. As a result, almost all Trail Blazers players shrank in.
However, Marion is just a decoy. The experienced No. 0 forward faked a layup under the basket, but changed his hand movements in the air and passed the ball out of the basket!
The one who found this ball was none other than Yiyang who just played for Marion!
When Yiyang received the basketball, there was no defensive player within three meters of him. Just like that, Yiyang easily made a three-pointer. Before the basketball hits the net, Vignelli stood up with her arms raised high. The next second, the basketball rolls up the net, and the cheers suddenly hit from behind Vignali. The girl feels that her long hair seems to be fluttering with the cheers, and the ball has been scored!
"Haha, maybe now I will compete with him for three points, I may not win!" Although Hayward said so, he couldn't help but raised his arms and cheered for his friend. As for Stevens, the young marshal just showed a relieved smile.
In the next few minutes, the offensive of both sides stalled again. The Blazers couldn't score, and the Mavericks couldn't score. After Yiyang scored two goals in a row,
The Trail Blazers are tighter on his defense. Under the extremely high intensity of physical confrontation, Yiyang's physical energy, which was already close to being overdrawn, was further consumed.
In the last three minutes of the third quarter, Yiyang broke through again through Nowitzki's pick-and-roll. Aldridge changed positions skillfully. For him, Dirk today is no threat at all.
Facing Aldridge's strong blocking, Yiyang fell to the ground without standing firmly on the soles of his feet during the breakthrough.
The referee blew the whistle, and Nowitzki and Chandler rushed over to pull Yiyang up.
If it was normal, Yiyang would definitely get up by himself. But today, Yiyang, who was sweating profusely, just lay on the floor panting heavily, without the strength to stand up at all.
"Damn it!" Nowitzki cursed, stretched out his hand, and pulled the sweaty Yiyang up. He knew that the physical fitness of this Chinese rookie had reached a critical point!
After that, Yiyang stepped to the free throw line. However, due to physical overdraft, Yiyang only made one of two free throws, and the Trail Blazers still had a one-point lead.
Two minutes later, Wesley Matthews of the Trail Blazers drove for a layup. Nowitzki and Chandler, the two insiders, were both pulled to a high position.
It seems that Matthews' layup is bound to be won. But Yiyang jumped up high, and suddenly slapped the must-make layup away!
Of course, Yiyang in the air no longer has the strength to maintain his body balance. After the cover landed, he fell firmly into the press area, and then continued to lie on the floor, "enjoying" the few seconds of rest.
Yiyang fought fiercely, and this scene was deeply reflected in Di Ke's mind. The German fell into deep self-blame. With Yiyang exhausted, as the star of the team, what should he do!
The third quarter of the game ended when Yiyang fell again and again and was pulled up by his teammates again and again. 76 to 75, the Trail Blazers still lead by a weak point. But Yiyang seemed to have no strength left.
"Physical fitness is the biggest problem facing the Mavericks right now! It's almost overdrawn. If you have to rely on Yi alone to catch up in the fourth quarter, the Mavericks may be in trouble!"
"Do you think that after three quarters of slump, someone can stand up? This is reality, Kenny, not Andersen's fairy tale world. As long as the Trail Blazers do not make mistakes in the fourth quarter, they will win!" Although Barkley kept emphasizing that the Mavericks would not be able to play in the playoffs, this round-headed guy was looking forward to something. What are you looking forward to? Are you expecting the Mavericks, ranked third in the West in the regular season, to turn the tide?
Are the Mavericks really vulnerable? That would be a pity. After all, this group of guys did play very well during the regular season...
"Also, is there any discomfort in your body?" During the intermission, Carlisle did not take the lead in arranging tactics, but asked about Yiyang's physical condition.
Yiyang didn't answer, but just waved his hand lightly. If it is the regular season, it is understandable to play for such a long time. But the playoffs are really too much to bear. What's more, this is Yiyang's first playoffs.
Seeing the chaos on the Mavericks bench, McMillan felt a lot more relaxed. It seems that the Trail Blazers will win this game. Being able to take the lead in winning a game away from home is of great significance to the entire series.
"Man, thank you for your hard work." When Yiyang was resting, Nowitzki came over and patted Yiyang on the shoulder.
"In the fourth quarter, you feed me the ball, okay?" Dirk frowned tightly, looking like he wasn't joking.
Even if a leading star fails to score in the first 30 shots, he still has the right to ask for the 31st shot! What's more, Dirk's shots today are not that exaggerated.
Hearing Nowitzki's request, Yiyang nodded slightly. Nowitzki looked at the court with a fierce face, he didn't want to lose!
What is the difference between a real strong team and an ordinary team? It's not necessarily that they will have a very good head coach, nor is it that their tactics are better than ordinary teams, but that they have some superstars who can decide the game alone.
"There are still twelve minutes in the game! It's not time to finish!" Nowitzki suddenly stood up and shouted from all the Mavericks players.
"I've already done enough, let's do something for him and for this team!"
Carlisle was a little surprised. After all, Nowitzki has a relatively gentle personality, and he rarely makes such moves on the court. Could it be... because of Yiyang?
I hope that kid can fully bring out the most terrifying side of Dirk.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the players of the Trail Blazers were full of confidence. Although they only lead by one point, they have firmly grasped the situation of the game. The Mavericks want to win, unless God brings these guys back!
However, the Mavericks' first offense scared McMillan into a cold sweat.
In this attack, Kidd, who replaced Yiyang, lobbed the ball directly to the inside. Nowitzki did not hit back, but stepped back directly from the mid-range position and turned over a jumper.
The focused Aldridge blocked it immediately without any hesitation, covering Dirk's face tightly with his palm. It seems that under this tight blockade, Nowitzki's shot will still go out of the frame as before.
After all, in the first three quarters, Nowitzki only scored 10 points in total, and his shooting percentage was still very low.
Just when Camby was about to accept the defensive rebound, the basketball fell hollow into the net, and the basketball didn't even touch the net!
"Dirk Nowitzki, a tough goal! Will this guy be resurrected in the last quarter!?"
A goal is accidental, but if something happens twice in a row, it may not be as simple as chance or luck.
After 30 seconds, the Mavericks made a comeback. This time, Nowitzki played tough, he tried hard to gouging the basket, knocking Aldridge back.
Near the rim, Nowitzki hit high and scored with a hook. And Adelaide, who jumped too hard, was called a foul because of this, giving the Mavericks a chance to hit a three-pointer!
"Dirk! Dirk! Dirk!" In the stands, Mavericks fans were shouting Nowitzki's name. He's back, that omnipotent German tank, finally back!
A few minutes later, Carlisle replaced Kidd with Yiyang. The purpose was very clear. I hope that Yiyang can win the game with Nowitzki who is in a heated state!
When Yiyang came on, Nowitzki gave the number one guard a nod. If the Trail Blazers want to take away the victory here, it depends on whether Dirk and Yiyang agree or not.
At 6 minutes and 20 seconds into the fourth quarter, Yiyang broke into the basket and threw the basketball into the air amid heavy siege. Dirk pulled the green onion from the dry land, leaped high, and lifted the basketball in the air. After the basketball was changed direction, it went into the net hollowly.
Although it was not an alley-oop dunk, Yiyang and Dirk still gave the fans a wonderful aerial performance.
Three minutes before the end of the game, Nowitzki attracted the defense of three people under the basket, but he didn't make a strong attack, but hit the ground with a pass!
The basketball rebounded into Yiyang's hands, and Yiyang made a mid-range shot, adding two more points.
A minute later, Nowitzki made a golden rooster independent retreat near the baseline. Aldridge still blocked it in time, which is almost a perfect defense. But the basketball still made an unreasonable hit!
Nowitzki still hit the basketball even though he was completely blocked, unstoppable! He lightly hammered his chest, and at this time, the Mavericks had already led by 5 points!
"It's incredible, Dirk is unstoppable!"
Nowitzki's runaway completely confused the Trail Blazers. Coupled with Yiyang's support, this group of guys who were eager to take away the victory were overwhelmed.
When Nowitzki forced a layup and was violated and stood at the free throw line, the suspense of the whole game finally dissipated.
The game ended with 3 seconds left, and the Mavericks led by 7 points!
"18 points in a single quarter! Dirk, who only scored 10 points in the first three quarters, scored 18 points in just 12 minutes! This is a superstar, this is a German chariot!" Kenny Smith has already Some are incoherent, because the incredible reversal just now is really amazing.
Nowitzki's runaway, the entire Dallas fell into madness, so that the Trail Blazers had to swallow the bitter pill.
But Carlisle knew that today's protagonist is not Dirk. What really made Dirk go into a runaway state was Yiyang who fell down again and again, but got up again and again, and kept attacking the opponent!
That No. 1 guard not only brought out the best in himself, but also brought in one of the scariest Dirks for the Mavericks.
When the game was over and the score was fixed at 81 to 89, McMillan put his head in his hands in frustration, and fell back to the bench.
American Airlines Center, what a fucking place it is!
"Look at Coach McMillan's exasperated expression. Don't blame him for today's loss. If you want to blame it, blame the terrible king of the last quarter!"
"No, Charles. Deke, the king of the final quarter, is just a supporting role today, and he is the one behind the scenes." Kenny Smith stared at Yiyang who was being interviewed on the field, as if seeing the next historical player... ..
A game of ups and downs left everyone unsatisfied. Never jump to conclusions until the last minute.
This is the playoffs, this is war!
