One Guard

When the electronic buzzer sounded to represent the end of the game, the fans in the stands found that their palms were already full of sweat.

A game with ups and downs like a roller coaster ride made everyone feel thrilled. Before the fourth quarter, when Yiyang sat on the bench tiredly, everyone thought the game was over.

But who would have thought that after 12 minutes, the team that was "going to die" became the final winner. And this process is still so impressive.

"This is a superstar, it's fucking terrible!" This is Stevens' evaluation of Nowitzki's 18 points in the last quarter. If Aldridge's defense wants Stevens to score, he is willing Give 90 points.

But Nowitzki, under Aldridge's 90-point defense, scored one unreasonable goal after another. I believe that during that period of time, Aldridge was a little skeptical about life. His defense covered Nowitzki's face almost every time, but the German won the game abruptly with fatal blows again and again.

On the basketball court, Nowitzki jumped up excitedly and waved his fist vigorously in the air. At this moment, the German feels that he has never been so happy in his life.

Accompanied by the deafening cheers in the arena, Nowitzki looked around, as if looking for something.

In the end, this "golden retriever lion" found his goal. He ran quickly, and rushed towards Yiyang, the "prey".

"We won! We fought it out!" Nowitzki hugged Yiyang tightly, like lovers who meet again after a long time apart.

Nowitzki knew that although he had completed the miracle of 18 points in a single quarter, without Yiyang's hard work to lay the foundation for the Mavericks to chase points, they would not have won.

Moreover, it was Yiyang's attitude of not giving up on the court that greatly inspired Dirk. If it was the same as before, this game may be lost if it is lost. But Yiyang brought something different to the Mavericks—persevere!

If you don't fight until the last moment, you will never surrender, and you will continue to fight even if you shed the last drop of sweat. In Yiyang, Dirk saw these qualities. So this superstar who hopes to be responsible for the team can explode in the final quarter.

"Dirk...I can't breathe..." Until Yiyang "wailed" in Nowitzki's arms, Germany finally let go of his arm

After that, more and more Mavericks players gathered around Yiyang and Nowitzki. They gathered together,

Enjoying the joy brought to them by the victory of the game.

Yiyang was in the middle of the crowd, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. It feels so good to win in the playoffs...

The picture of the Mavericks players celebrating wildly on the field naturally failed to escape the cameras of the reporters. Of course, the frustrated expressions of McMillan and the Trail Blazers players were also captured.

In the post-match press conference, McMillan didn't hide his disappointment. But instead of being disappointed with his players, he hated his luck.

"We were unlucky. The whole game, we were completely in control. Until the last 12 minutes, we lost out of nowhere. I don't know what happened in the last quarter. LaMarcus' defense did nothing. It’s perfect, but the Mavericks can score. Moreover, Dirk scored 6 points in the fourth quarter by free throws alone. I don’t agree with the referee’s calls.” Speaking of this, McMillan shook himself Shaking his head, he continued to point his mouth at the microphone. "The loss of this game may not be a bad thing for us. We suppressed the Mavericks miserably, which shows that our tactics and state are all right. After all, God is not in the sky above the American Airlines Center Arena every night. "

"You said that the team lost because of bad luck, or that the referee was partial to the Mavericks, so how do you evaluate Yi's performance of 24 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks? You know, a first-timer A rookie who scored a double-double in one playoff game, there seems to be no other name in the entire history of the NBA. Is Yi’s performance also a part of your bad luck?” The reporter who asked this sharp question was not someone else , it was one of Yiyang's supporters, Mu Ran.

For a team's hard work to win, McMillan only responded with perfunctory things like "luck" and "the referee whistled a problem", which made Muran very angry. It's as if the Mavericks won the game without paying.

"Yi's performance is very good, and he may be one of the best guards in the league in the future. But believe me, a rookie can't change the trend of the series, even if he scored a double-double! You have to admit, if there is no German Ke played unbelievably in the last quarter of the game, and the Mavericks can't win at all!" McMillan was in a bad mood after the loss, so when Mu Ran raised this sharp question, the black coach responded forcefully.

"If Dirk hadn't scored 18 points in a single quarter, the Mavericks would not necessarily lose. You know, before the start of the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers only led by 1 point, not 30 points!" Mu Ran responded angrily, Then sat back on his chair.

McMillan on the field also got up directly, announcing the end of the press conference.

"Why compete with a head coach? Make excuses for failure. This is what every coach will do. After all, they also have to think about the morale of their own players." After McMillan walked out of the media reception room, Mu Ran Many colleagues nearby also advised Mu Ran not to say a few words in the future.

But Mu Ran did not reduce his hostility towards McMillan because of this. Is it so difficult to admit that a Chinese player performed well in the game? Yes, who would openly admit that their team almost fell to a rookie in the playoffs?

Five minutes later, the press conference continued. This time, the people who walked into the media reception room became Carlisle, Nowitzki and Yiyang.

The appearance of these three guys caused the reporters below to explode in an instant. One is a coach who frequently makes wonderful substitutions, and the other is a superstar who plays like a star in the final quarter. There is another rookie who played like a superstar in the playoffs!

"Also, how does it feel to play in the playoffs for the first time?" Many reporters wanted to ask Yiyang this question, so when Yiyang approached the microphone to answer, you could see that almost all of the reporters below took out their own voice recorder.

"The playoffs are more competitive, so I also know that what I have to do in the game is to be aggressive, like Dirk told me. We have been training for the past few days, and I think before the game The preparation has a great effect on the game. I just hope that I can recover my physical fitness and affect the game. Of course, the fans at the scene are great. They have been cheering for me and gave me a lot of motivation." Yi Yangyi A standard set of official answers made the reporters nod in satisfaction. Compared with the irritable McMillan, this rookie seems to be more mature than McMillan as the coach.

"Coach Carlisle, Mr. McMillan seems to think that he lost to the Mavericks today because he was unlucky. Excuse me, what do you think of this evaluation?" A local American reporter was qualified to ask the last question. Well, it is natural to end this press conference with a very explosive topic.

Carlisle looked at the reporter, then smiled, not seeming to be offended by McMillan's remarks.

Afterwards, Carlisle leaned forward, ready to speak.

"Until now, I believe that many people here are still doubting our strength, and they still think that the Trail Blazers lost to us in this game is completely an accident. Yes, we did not perform well enough on the court for a while. The playoff experience is not perfect. But from now on, we will prove it with practical actions and results. If the Blazers win this series, it will be called an upset!" Carlisle still had a smile on his face , but now, no one will think that the smile of this academic coach is amiable.

The reporters became agitated one by one. This press conference can be said to have completely brought the two sides together.

It seems that the remaining matchups in this series will be full of highlights!

Don't want to admit to being overwhelmed by a rookie? It's okay, the world will make you admit it when you lose the whole series.
