One Guard
Chapter 277: I'm waiting for you in Dallas
In the evening at Yiyang's house, Cardinal told Yiyang a lot of interesting things about himself. It turned out that Cardinal's previous nickname was not "administrator", but "butcher".
Naturally, the reason goes without saying, because Cardinal is always like a mad dog on the defensive end, even using small moves and fouls to stop the opponent. Therefore, the nickname "butcher" began to circulate in the circle. Although this title doesn't match his kind image at all.
But in the next few years, as Cardinal grew older and his playing time continued to decrease, people seemed to forget how terrifying this seemingly elegant white forward was defensively. Therefore, the title of "administrator" gradually spread.
Yiyang only found out today that this guy who always silently waved the towel at the end of the bench had so many interesting experiences. That's why the Mavericks need him. Some players may not be effective on the court.
After bidding farewell to Cardinal, Yiyang quickly fell asleep on the bed without even covering her with the quilt.
Wen Xue looked at her son in the room, smiled and shook her head. Today, I must be exhausted.
This gentle mother gently covered Yiyang with the quilt, and turned off the lights in the room. Everything seemed to have changed, their lives became better, they didn't have to worry about being hungry, they moved from the Wood District to a small villa in Dallas.
But looking at his son who is exhausted from playing basketball, everything seems to have remained the same...
※※※
In the second day's training, the most unlucky person undoubtedly became Kidd. Facing Yiyang's bloody defense, Kidd was blocked or robbed consecutively.
"Hey, I'm not Russell, do you have the heart to be so fierce to an old man like me?" When Yiyang once again slapped Kidd's layup with a desperate block, Kidd's complaints aroused The whole training ground burst out laughing.
"Jason, it seems that before the end of the Western Conference Finals, you have nothing to eat!"
"How many blocks have you been blocked today? 5! Hahahahaha, God, historical point guard Jason Kidd, was blocked by a rookie on the training ground and doubted his life. If I told this to the reporter, It will definitely cause a huge sensation!"
The players all followed suit, and Kidd waved his hands helplessly.
"What did you do to him last night?" Carlisle walked to Cardinal unconsciously and asked in a low voice.
"nothing,
I just told him that as long as he doesn't get sent off when defending, he can do anything! . "Cardinal had a smirk on his face. Now, even Carlisle was worried about Kidd's fate.
Although on the field, the players were laughing and laughing. Although Kidd, who was defended by Yiyang again and again, seemed helpless. But in fact, seeing Yiyang have such a positive performance, everyone is secretly happy.
Now, even if the Mavericks really face the Thunder and Westbrook in the Western Conference finals, there is no need to be afraid. Yiyang, let that impulsive kid taste how hot Chinese hot pot is!
For the next few days, Cardinal would stay with Yiyang to practice more every night. During the day, Kidd is Yiyang's mentor. At night, Cardinal took Kidd's place.
As time went by, Yiyang's performance on the defensive end became more and more fierce. Yiyang's enthusiasm also made the Mavericks full of vitality on the training ground.
On the other side, the game between the Grizzlies and the Thunder became more and more intense. In the end, the two sides battled to a 3-3 tie, and it was up to the brutal tiebreaker to decide the final winner!
On May 15th, the night of the tiebreaker between the two sides. After the training, almost all the Mavericks players did not leave. Instead, they all crowded into the tactical conference room. Through the projection of the big screen, everyone including Carlisle watched the ultimate decisive battle that would determine their opponents in the next round.
The Grizzlies staged a black-eight miracle this year, eliminating the No. 1 Spurs in the West. The Thunder have made significant progress this season, and they are already an indispensable force in the West when they are young.
The encounter between these two teams was beyond most people's expectations. Prior to this, the two parties may not have perfected each other's research. And both teams are particularly eager to go further in the playoffs. Because every step they take now, in fact, is making history! Therefore, this tiebreaker is an opportunity for both sides, an opportunity to create the impossible. The battle situation is bound to be quite intense.
At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies used their steady offense to gain a 5-point lead. I have to admit that the inside combination of Gasol and Randolph, the "black and white bears", has a strong deterrence both on the offensive and defensive ends.
If the Mavericks finally meet the Grizzlies, the defensive pressure on Nowitzki and Chandler will undoubtedly increase exponentially.
After falling behind, the Thunder did not panic. The young coach of Oklahoma City, Scott Brooks, stopped the game, and Yiyang could see that the young coach seemed to be saying something to Westbrook. What are you talking about? How do you adjust after a pause?
Yiyang held his chin and stared at the screen, that number zero was getting more and more interesting.
After returning from the timeout, the Thunder attacked. Westbrook was still the same as usual, using his height and weight advantages to crush the Grizzlies starting point guard Mike Conley and go to the basket to kill.
Prior to this, Westbrook had hit the basket three times, but was stopped by Gasol Jr. and Randolph's help defense. This time, will he continue the life-threatening attack?
In normal times, even if O'Neal is standing under the basket, Westbrook will choose to attack the frame by himself. But just now, Brooks clearly gave Westbrook instructions. So this time, Westbrook's choice made everyone's eyes shine!
The guard who seemed to have a body of steel plunged into the penalty area. His decisive breakthrough naturally caused the Grizzlies' defense to shrink as a whole.
However, this time, Westbrook did not forcefully attack the frame, but passed the ball accurately in the crowd!
Kevin Durant, one of the "Twin Stars" of the Thunder, received the basketball and shot directly. Durant is tall and has long arms, and his shooting touch is very soft. Although Tony Allen quickly blocked the shot, he was less than 2 meters tall and it was difficult for him to interfere with Durant's shooting.
The basketball fell straight into the net and the Thunder hit a three-pointer. The two young men Westbrook and Durant high-fived each other, representing the rise of a new force in the league!
"Westbrook guy, the passing accuracy is actually very good. It's just that he needs a lot of possessions, so it's not surprising that he gets inflated numbers. If we end up playing against the Thunder, also, I need you to seal it." Kill his passing route. This guy's passing is very risky, let's let him know that his passing is not called an offense at all." While watching the game, Carlisle gave orders to the players. Only by doing all the preparations can it be possible to stand out in the Western Conference Finals.
The ball just now set the tone for Westbrook's play today. In the case of being targeted by the Grizzlies, Westbrook chose to put the ball in the hands of his teammates more often today.
In terms of rebounding, Westbrook is also very active. His athletic ability is very good in itself, coupled with the superb positioning skills of Ibaka and other insiders, this No. 0 guard has a lot of rebounds.
Except for Westbrook, the entire Thunder team played very well. Durant and Harden took up the banner of offense and smashed the defense that the Grizzlies are proud of.
When the two sides hit the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies had fallen behind by 19 points. The desperate Lionel Hollins replaced all the main players, which meant that the Grizzlies raised the white flag and gave up the tiebreaker. They accepted their fate, but even so, this is the furthest the Grizzlies have made the playoffs.
When the Grizzlies' starting five were all off the field, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena was boiling. Even though thousands of miles away, Yiyang can still feel the crazy and enthusiastic atmosphere in the stadium from the screen.
The players on the Thunder's bench have already begun to celebrate the victory. This Oklahoma City team has successfully reached the Western Conference Finals after only three years in the NBA!
You know, many famous NBA stars have played for many years, but they have never touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals!
Yiyang looked at the screen without blinking. To be honest, Yiyang was not interested in Thunder's victory. But Westbrook's personal data today made Yiyang clenched his fists.
"With 14 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, Russell Westbrook, at only 22 years old, became the first triple-double in a tie-breaker since Scottie Pippen in 1998 The players! It’s incredible, the young Westbrook and the Thunder once again presented us with an incredible performance! No one knows where the upper limit of this group of young people is, maybe the championship is their ceiling! "
The commentator shouted excitedly, but Yiyang didn't miss a word. On the screen, the game was finally over. Westbrook stood in the middle of the court with his arms raised high, and the fans in the surrounding stands raised their arms high towards him, like the most loyal believers of the king!
An ESPN reporter rushed to Westbrook with a camera on his shoulders, and Westbrook had fallen into extreme madness at this time.
He was surrounded by teammates who hugged him, and everyone was making noise, as if there was no camera in front of them.
"Win this crucial game and lead the team to the Western Conference Finals. What else do you want to say besides being excited!?" The reporter had to talk to Westbrook in a loud voice, because it was too noisy here Already, the Chesapeake Energy Arena has completely turned into a crazy party scene.
Westbrook, who was sweating profusely, pointed at the camera, and Yiyang, who was sitting in front of the projection screen, felt like this guy was pointing at himself.
"We are going to Dallas! In Dallas, we will continue to take away the victory!"
Westbrook's roar made Yiyang's body tremble violently. Take the win from Dallas? What an opponent!
The corners of Yiyang's mouth curled up slightly, Dallas, I'm waiting for you anytime!
The collision between these two powerful young point guards may spark enough to ignite the entire league!
