One Guard

The first quarter of the game ended with the Mavericks leading by 5 points. The difference from the last match is that this time, Yiyang is no longer struggling alone. Almost every Mavericks player who played showed something.

"Peja Stojakovic, if I had to choose, I would choose him as the key player in the first quarter! With 6 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds and a block, Peja's sudden explosion made him Coach McMillan doesn't look very good!" When Kenny Smith read out Peja's statistics, Barkley kept silent. Because before this game, Barkley said "don't expect any performance from Peja". However, in just one game, Peja made Barkley have to sullenly.

Every time I recall "that King's team", all the memories will always condense on Chris Webber, one of the best passing insiders in history and the most elegant and calm power forward. But if the legend is removed, Webber missed as many as 102 games during the three years at the peak of the Kings.

In the 2003-2004 season, the Kings, who won 55 regular season games and fought the Timberwolves until the seventh game, could almost be said to be supported by Peja. In fact, Peja was the player who scored the most points in "that King's team".

Peja has spent his whole life underestimated. He is rarely discussed. Only the team that owns him knows how important this guy is.

The fiery performance in the first quarter fully established Peja's self-confidence. He knows that the Mavericks are different from the previous Pacers, Hornets and Raptors. This team has everything it takes to win!

"Continue to block the Mavericks' shots from the outside. We can't let them shoot three-pointers! Inside players, I need you to stick to the basket! Everyone works together, but they are only five points behind. The Mavericks are far from winning!" During the intermission, McMillan became the busiest person. The black coach's voice had become hoarse from yelling for a long time, but he did not reduce his volume. McMillan is to let the players feel this power, this unyielding power!

Soon, amid the cheers of the fans, the second quarter continued. Carlisle brought up Peja and Kidd, who performed well. From the first minute, the Mavericks did not intend to let the Blazers take advantage of it.

The Trail Blazers took the lead. This time, Miller passed the ball very early. Before he reached the three-point line, he hoisted the basketball inside.

It seems that the Trail Blazers' offense is still simple, most of the time it is the singles of Aldridge and Gerald Wallace.

After holding the ball, Aldridge pushed in twice. Dealing with Nowitzki, Aldridge was very knowledgeable. Just when everyone thought that Aldridge would play singles again, this guy suddenly made a pass and sent the ball to Wallace who cut inward along the baseline.

The latter directly took off for a layup,

Tyson Chandler jumps to block the shot. However, "Elvis" used his strong waist and abdomen strength to complete a folding action in the air, avoiding the block, and successfully pulled the bar for a layup.

The fighting spirit of the Trail Blazers has not been crushed. Even though the first quarter was overwhelmed by the dense firepower of the Mavericks, these guys are still eager to win!

"From the cooperation between Aldridge and Wallace, to be honest, this is not very common. I think Coach McMillan should have just emphasized the importance of sharing the ball to the players. If only relying on two Star singles, it may be difficult for the Trail Blazers to take the victory away from Dallas!" At the beginning, the Trail Blazers used a wonderful attack to set the tone for the game.

Kidd took the baseline and sprinted across half court. The guy took a look at the halftime situation and started calling the shots.

Yiyang was still the first to come up to meet Kidd. The No. 1 guard's sharp breakthrough and threatening shots gave him many offensive options after receiving the basketball.

When Yiyang received a pass from Kidd, Nowitzki, who was supposed to be in the paint, suddenly ran outside the three-point line.

Aldridge knew what the Germans wanted to do, and he would not let Dirk succeed so easily. But just two steps after running out, Aldridge met Tyson Chandler's off-ball pick-and-roll set up for Nowitzki.

Marcus Camby was in a dilemma. Seeing that Aldridge was delayed, he didn't know whether he should stay in the penalty area or switch defenses with Aldridge, and threw himself to stop Nowitzki. Because McMillan said that the inside players must stick to the basket.

Just when Camby was hesitating, Yiyang had already headed to the basket against the strong Matthews, and Aldridge also got rid of the entanglement with Chandler and continued to chase and defend.

But one pick-and-roll was not all that Carlisle arranged. Peja Stojakovic, a small forward with a size of four, suddenly appeared and set up a second screen for Dirk! This time, Nowitzki completely threw Aldridge away.

With the "turret" in place, Yiyang has no vision and space to pass the ball in the inside line of the strong man Rulin, and he has no chance to pass the ball to Dirk.

But don't forget, the Mavericks are now playing a two-point guard formation. Yiyang is not the only one who can launch an attack and deliver "ammunition".

Yiyang barely passes the ball to Kidd, and Kidd quickly leads after getting the ball. After passing the ball with two hands, Nowitzki still got a chance.

At this time, Aldridge has already pounced, but Nowitzki's shot is also very decisive.

In order to avoid sending Dirk to the free throw line, Aldridge did not dare to rush too hard. But as long as there is a little space, Dirk, a superstar, can throw the basketball in.

"Swipe!" As soon as it landed, Aldridge heard the crisp sound. He shook his head in disappointment, but quickly ran back to the frontcourt. The Mavericks still scored, and their momentum seemed to have not faded for a long time. But the Blazers will not give the Mavericks any respite on the offensive end.

In the next round, Andre Miller's wonderful pass gave Matthews a chance to shoot a three-pointer. Yiyang was blocked by the opponent's off-ball pick-and-roll, so Kidd had to abandon his matchup and help Yiyang defend Matthews.

But Matthews, who got the chance, did not shoot. Instead, he made another pass and passed the ball back to the old Miller.

At this time, both Yiyang and Kidd rushed towards Matthews at the same time, because no one thought that Matthews, who was open, would pass the ball patiently. But the worst-case scenario still happened.

Matthews' clever pass allowed Andre Miller to take a wide open shot without being marked.

Although the old Miller is also a "typical" guard who can't shoot three-pointers in people's impression, in the regular season this season, the old Miller's three-point shooting percentage is only an outrageously low 10.8. But this does not mean that the old Miller is no threat on the perimeter.

The fans of the Mavericks hadn't been happy for long, and the old Miller responded with a three-pointer, reducing the point difference to three points again.

"They did a really good job of sharing the ball." Carlisle found that the biggest change in the Trail Blazers' game in the second quarter was that they worked hard on sharing the ball.

"Is there any targeted setting?" asked Stotts, who was sitting next to Carlisle.

Unexpectedly, Carlisle waved his hand. "Let's attack them first!"

Today, the players of the Mavericks are in very good condition. McMillan wants to play against each other, but he really may not be able to win.

Old Miller had just scored a three-pointer, but there was no joy in his heart. Because he knew that more heavy defensive tasks were still waiting for him. The Mavericks' counterattack will only become more violent every time.

This time, Yiyang set an off-ball screen for Kidd just after the halfway line. The purpose of this off-ball screen is very clear, which is to force Miller and Matthews to switch defenses.

Just after the position change, Kidd passed the ball to Yiyang lightly. Yiyang paused after receiving the ball, which made the rhythm of the old Miller who was retreating a bit chaotic. Then, the young Dallas One sprang into action and passed the old Miller with ease.

"What a monster!" Old Miller secretly sighed in his heart. When he turned around and was about to chase back, Yiyang had already gone far away. A quick stop and quick start, this simple action made the old Miller completely unable to resist.

Physical fitness, body, speed, reaction... Yiyang's innate conditions are so good that people are jealous. With a simple movement, Miller was completely passed. But breaking through Miller was only the first step. At this moment, Marcus Camby was ordering by the coach to stick to the basket!

But Yiyang didn't feel scared when he got up to speed. As soon as he stepped into the three-second zone, he picked up the basketball with both hands, as if he was going to attack the basket directly!

Strangely, the Blazers' defensive players did not try to stop Yiyang. Because in their view, Yiyang would not attack the basket with defensive arrangements so forcefully. Instead, they are blocking Yiyang's passing route and splitting the ball. This guy will definitely split the ball!

Even Camby himself thought so, he raised his arms high in front of Yiyang, not intending to jump. If he jumps by himself, then Yiyang will definitely pass the ball to Chandler. At that time, what Chandler will get is a chance to dunk.

Just when Camby was secretly complacent, he felt a huge sense of oppression. This guy Yiyang jumped directly towards him, but...but he didn't seem to want to pass the ball.

Camby wants to jump now, but he can't get up anymore. So he could only raise his arms, so it can be said that after leaping high, Yiyang was not hindered at all.

Now all this guy has to do is smash the basketball into the hoop across a "wall" that can't jump!

Although Yiyang's strength is average, but after rushing to an extremely fast speed, the inertia is also very huge.

This huge inertia made it difficult for Camby to parry. Under Yiyang's oppression, he raised his hands in embarrassment and took a few steps back. Yiyang exerted all his strength, trying to keep his balance when he was in physical contact with Camby.

The basket was getting closer and closer to Yiyang, and the No. 1 guard began to wave his arms.

Camby still held his hands high, but he was unable to stop Yiyang. Just like that, Yiyang completed a dunk dunk across Camby!

After the dunk, Camby's head was just caught by Yiyang. The big man yelled a foul word angrily, but couldn't do anything else. And everyone at the scene had their jaws almost dislocated.

Yiyang's dunk? It seems that today, the Mavericks' offense is really crazy.
