One Guard

"Chapter error, click here to report"

"Peja Stojakovic, this guy's defense made the Trail Blazers return without success! Gerald Wallace is still a little confused. He may not have thought that he would be blocked by Peja. The Trail Blazers Want to open the score, and Peja poured cold water on McMillan and his players! Now, the Mavericks will get a chance to overtake!"

At the age of thirty-four, on the stage of the key battle in the playoffs, he hit a three-pointer to tie the game and used a block to break the opponent's attempt to regain the advantage. The playoffs are a perfect stage, where good actors become famous and poor actors are brutally eliminated. There is no doubt that Peja, the thirty-four-year-old veteran, does not want to be eliminated!

After Peja finished blocking the shot, he immediately handed the ball to Yiyang. An opportunity to fight back is in front of Yiyang, of course he will not waste it.

This time, Yiyang did not press the rhythm, but charged at full speed. When Yiyang began to rage on the hardwood floor of the American Airlines Center Arena, the entire arena seemed to have a whirlwind.

No player in the Trail Blazers can match Yiyang's speed, even though Gerald Wallace is trying his best to chase back, even though the old Miller is also running hard. But Yiyang was still a thousand riders, the first to enter the penalty area, soared into the air, and unceremoniously used a battle ax to reverse the score.

At that moment, the entire "blue ocean" in the stands was churning. From Peja's block to Yiyang's dunk, everything that happened just now is really very interesting to watch. And most importantly, after being suppressed for six minutes, the Mavericks finally reversed the score!

Without hesitation, McMillan immediately called to stop the game. He needs to kill the momentum of the Mavericks by interrupting the game. This guy doesn't want to wait for the team to fall behind too much before making adjustments.

"Jason, you play! Also, you play the two position! We continue to look for opportunities from beyond the three-point line, waiting for the Blazers' defense to spread! You did a good job just now, Peja, I look forward to your next move." Show better performance!" Taking advantage of McMillan's call for a timeout, Carlisle also began to implement his own rotation policy.

With Kidd and Yiyang's double point guard team playing for the team, Carlisle believes that this is definitely enough for McMillan to realize clearly that his loss was not due to bad luck!

Back from the timeout, both sides made adjustments to their lineups. The Trail Blazers replaced Wallace with Batum, while the Mavericks replaced Stevenson with Kidd.

"The Mavericks have set up a double point guard formation. They want to strengthen their offense!" Kenny Smith saw Carlisle's purpose at a glance. It seemed that Carlisle and McMillan really didn't give each other a chance to breathe. Once they seized a small gap, they would launch a fierce attack in an attempt to open the score. The strategy of these two coaches is not to fight each other until the last moment,

Instead, end the fight as quickly as possible! Therefore, from the first minute, this game is destined to be very bloody.

Old Miller regained control of the ball. This time, the Blazers' offense was not so impatient. Kidd wanted to steal Miller, but the veteran's rich experience allowed him to avoid Kidd's pressing many times.

Wesley Matthews and Yiyang faced each other, he suddenly accelerated with a counter run, and separated half a body from Yiyang. Afterwards, Marcus Camby attempted an off-ball pick-and-roll for Matthews, but he seemed to slow down a bit. If it goes on like this, there is no way for him to stop Yiyang.

In desperation, Camby quietly moved a step when he was already doing the pick-and-roll action. This step made Yiyang collide with Camby abruptly, and the huge impact made Yiyang fall to the ground directly.

"Illegal screen!" Carlisle yelled as he rushed into the field with his arms outstretched, but the referee ignored him.

At the same time, Matthews, who had thrown off Yiyang, jumped up directly, and the old Miller immediately threw the ball and passed an alley-oop for Matthews.

When Chandler was transferred out of the penalty area by Camby, Wesley Matthews caught the basketball firmly with both hands, dunked hard, and completed a wonderful aerial cooperation with the old Miller.

An alley-oop dunk allowed the Trail Blazers to tie the score again. Of course, it also gave McMillan a reassurance.

"A beautiful alley-oop allowed the Trail Blazers to stabilize the situation. Just now, Marcus Camby was indeed suspected of an illegal screen. But the referee said no, then these two points are valid!"

Carlisle held back his anger and yelled at Kidd, who was advancing with the ball. "Remember, hit three points, three points!"

The Trail Blazers players thought they had stabilized the situation, however, a more violent storm is approaching.

As soon as Kidd had the ball in half court, he stopped his footsteps and waited for his teammates to run out of tactics. Yiyang started immediately, came out from the right bottom corner to the corner, and received a pass from Kidd.

After receiving the ball, Yiyang did not stop, but continued to run along the three-point line.

Kidd also set up an off-ball pick-and-roll for his rookie teammate as Yiyang ran to the top of the arc.

"The pick-and-roll cooperation on the guard line, let's see what results Yi and Kidd, the mentor and apprentice, can achieve!" It's no secret that Kidd is helping the Mavericks train Yiyang hard. People really want to see what kind of performance the two point guards, one old and one young, can contribute in the playoffs.

After the pick-and-roll, Matthews was delayed, and the old Miller naturally switched to Yiyang quickly. At the same time, Matthews did not stay in front of Kidd, but double-teamed towards Yiyang.

Yiyang is McMillan's key defensive target, and Matthews' approach is understandable.

Seeing the double-team come up, Yiyang spotted Peja who was standing outside the three-point line on the left, and raised his hand to pass the ball.

People thought that Yiyang was going to throw the ball to Peja, who had a good touch, even Peja himself thought so. But Yiyang, who was about to pass the ball forward, suddenly threw the ball behind him, and the basketball quickly flew into Kidd's hands. At this time, there was no one in front of Kidd!

"Extremely confusing pass! Jason Kidd, he got an open shot!" Kenny Smith shouted, Kidd made a decisive shot.

Everyone in the Trail Blazers can only watch this 38-year-old veteran pierce their hearts with a three-pointer!

"Another three-pointer for the Mavericks, from Jason Kidd! The advantage of the smooth rotation of the two point guards was brought into full play, and the cooperation with Kidd also tore the Blazers' defense to pieces!"

A 34-year-old Peja, a 38-year-old Kidd. These two guys, both in their 70s together, made the Trail Blazers passive again.

In the next Trail Blazers attack, Aldridge used his tough back-up singles to turn over a jumper to continue the score for the team. But the Trail Blazers hadn't picked up their momentum yet, and they were suppressed again!

This time, Kidd's sudden inside cut hit the old Miller by surprise. Yiyang's precise pass like a scalpel cut through the Blazers' defense and sent the ball to Kidd, who was heading straight to the basket.

Seeing someone hit the basket, all teams' defensive formations will habitually shrink, and the Blazers are no exception.

But in the eyes of an organizer like Kidd, the basketball court is not just the basket.

Kidd drives inside, stares at the rim, and jumps high. But in the air, this guy flicked his wrist and passed the ball diagonally beyond the three-point line.

Kidd's pass accurately found Peja's "European cannon". The Frenchman Batum tried his best to pounce forward, but Peja's high shooting point and fast shooting speed prevented him from being disturbed in any way.

The three-pointer went through the net again, only bringing up a "white wave". The fans are crazy because they feel like they are back in the era when Peja was still playing for the Kings!

"Diffuse defense, don't give the Mavericks a chance to shoot a three-pointer!" McMillan couldn't sit still after being hit three three-pointers in a row. He decided to abandon the strategy of focusing on protecting the basket and build the defense outside the three-point line. However, the black coach didn't know that all of this was going according to Carlisle's plan.

In the next attack, the basketball was once again played into the hands of Peja. Only this time, French striker Batum did not give Peja any space.

It is very simple to defend a shooter, completely force him to death, and do not give him shooting space. No matter how accurate he is, there is nothing he can do.

However, Peja is not a pure shooter. His cunning, cleverness, movement, overall situation, air cutting, passing and adaptability are all easily overlooked by people.

Peja was not in a hurry after encountering a pressing defense. Instead, he raised the basketball high and twisted his waist left and right to avoid Batum's steal.

Suddenly, Peja, the veteran's eyes lit up. He grabbed the ball with one hand, stretched his long arm around Batum's waist, and sent the ball to the ground.

The basketball went through the crowd, hit the wooden floor, and bounced back. Yiyang just appeared, held the ball firmly, and used a horseback archery shooting action to firmly throw the basketball into the basket.

"Peja's pass! God! Can anyone tell me if the guy on the field is really Peja? Are you sure this guy didn't come from 2002?" Charles Barkley exclaimed exaggeratedly, in Before the start of the game, no one was optimistic about Peja's performance. But now? The European has completed his all-round performance. It can be said that without him, the Mavericks would not have the current lead!

This goal turned the Mavericks' lead into 6 points. McMillan shook his head helplessly, and finally sealed the Mavericks outside the three-point line, but they frequently missed outside the three-point line.

And Carlisle is proud, the performance of everyone in the Mavericks today did not disappoint Carlisle. Yiyang is an amazing guy, not because of his amazing passing, but because that rookie can always make people around him shine...

Last time, it was Dirk who scored 18 points in the final quarter. Today, it is this low-key hero who is always overlooked by people, Peja Stojakovic!

McMillan's desire to take away a victory from Dallas, I'm afraid Yiyang won't let him come true...
