One Guard
Chapter 360: Keep Standing!
The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Westbrook's sudden acceleration did not directly break through Yiyang. After all, Yiyang himself is also a speedster. He quickly posted it, sealing off Westbrook's driving route.
Westbrook originally planned to use his strong body to carry a route, but when he collided with Yiyang, he realized that it was not as easy as last season to rely on Yiyang to advance.
Although Yiyang's physical strength is still far from being able to compete with James among defenders like Westbrook, the pressure he brings to Westbrook is indeed much greater than last season.
Seeing that he couldn't break through, Westbrook divided the ball during the breakthrough and passed the ball to Durant.
After receiving the ball in the left corner, Durant lifted his weight and feinted, looking as if he was about to shoot. After Marion posted it, this "monster" with the height of a center forward and the speed of a small forward lowered his center of gravity, took a big step, and passed Marion, who was forward with his center of gravity.
Easily, Durant successfully broke through. With Tyson Chandler no longer guarding the rim of the Mavericks, Durant will undoubtedly choose to attack the basket directly!
At this time, Haywood was still entangled with Perkins, while Nowitzki was pushed to the middle distance by Ibacara and could not get back in time. It looked like the Thunder would score the first goal soon, and Oklahoma City fans would be able to sit down and watch.
Just when Durant took three steps to layup, a bolt of lightning suddenly rushed to Durant's side, and when the No. 35 lifted the basketball halfway, he accurately cut the ball off!
"Also! He is very active in defending! Kevin Durant made a mistake, and the basketball in his hand was cut away by Yi! Maybe Durant never thought that Yi would rush to him so soon!"
Under the exclamation of Charles Barkley, Yiyang, who snatched the basketball, started a long-distance attack. Sorry Oklahoma fans, you may have to stand a little longer!
Yiyang made a fast break, and Westbrook followed closely behind, and kept putting pressure on Yiyang with his strong body.
Yiyang was under tremendous pressure. With Westbrook sticking so tightly, it would be a bad luck for him to make a layup rashly.
So Yiyang did not attack the frame after taking off, but twisted his waist in the air and passed the ball behind him.
Yiyang passed the ball quickly and accurately, without giving the Thunder players a chance to react. At a 45° angle outside the three-point line on the right, Vince Carter, who was following up, caught the ball steadily.
After playing three games with Yiyang, Carter already liked the Chinese defender. Playing with him is the same as playing with Kidd back then. You don't have to worry about whether he will see your gap, just be ready to catch the ball!
Yiyang passed the ball just right, and Carter didn't need to make any adjustments, and he shot a three-pointer comfortably.
Except for the slightly lower rookie season, Carter's three-point shooting percentage in his career has been stable at more than 35% in every other season. On the outside, he is definitely a reliable firing point!
Facing the huge space Yiyang created for himself, Carter lived up to everyone's expectations. He raised the knife and dropped the basketball through the net. Carter looked very excited after scoring the first point of the game for the Mavericks. He clenched his hands into fists on either side of his head, twisting wildly as if holding something.
Seeing this scene, Kidd, who was watching the game off the field, jumped up excitedly. Carter's "motorcycle" celebration, which he hadn't seen in a while.
"Beautiful pass, kid!" After returning to his own half, Carter and Yiyang gave high fives. Then, everyone opened their arms, waiting for the Thunder to strike again!
Carlisle smiled slightly. The mental state of the team today is quite different from before!
After being scored a three-pointer by the Mavericks, the young Thunder was not in a hurry. Yiyang cut off Durant's inevitable layup, after all, it was just an accidental event.
The Thunder team's tactics were executed very successfully just now, but there were some accidents. Therefore, the young Oklahoma City Thunder are still full of confidence in their offense.
This time, Westbrook didn't stick the ball. He handed the ball to the Congolese Ibaka who mentioned the high position. Ibaka supported him in the high position. Durant came out and prepared to play hand-to-hand with Ibaka.
After Durant took the basketball from Ibaka, everyone thought that No. 35 would attack by himself. As everyone knows, after completing the pick-and-roll, Ibaka has quickly run past Nowitzki. Once this gear is dismantled, the Thunder will have another chance!
By the time Nowitzki reacted, Durant's pass had arrived. The German had to passively follow behind Ibaka. Ibaka, who cut inside, was about to dunk. Just at this critical moment, Yiyang jumped out and stood in front of Ibaka with his hands on his crotch.
Ibaka, who was huge and had already gained speed, had no time to brake, and his whole body collided with Yiyang fiercely. Ibaka is physically strong and is one of the most physically fit insiders in the league. As for Yiyang, although Xia Tian has practiced a lot of strength, he is still not in the same order of magnitude as Ibaka.
Hit by Ibaka, Yiyang felt as if he was hit by a small truck. He huddled for protection, then slid across the waxed wooden floor to the press area just outside the baseline before finally coming to a halt.
Being hit by Ibaka like this, Yiyang was in a lot of pain. At this moment, his chest seemed to be splitting open, the Congolese really didn't save any energy just now.
But fortunately, Yiyang's desperate resistance has paid off. The moment the two sides collided, the referee blew his whistle.
At first, the Thunder players thought it was Yiyang blocking the foul, and some of them even started high-fiving Ibaka. But the referee's decision was an offensive foul!
"It's also very brave! Facing Ibaka after rushing up the speed, not everyone dared to cheat a foul on him. But also, the thinnest person in the Mavericks team did this. Everyone Things I don't even want to do!"
In the face of Barkley's praise, O'Neill could not refute at all. Yiyang is indeed very brave, his courage is beyond most people's imagination.
Although the Thunder players complained again and again, even though Scott Brooks, the young Thunder coach, also walked up to the referee to question. But once the penalty is made, it cannot be changed. Yiyang's desperate fight made the Thunder's offense return without success again.
Thunder fans in the stands, please continue to stand and watch the game!
The Mavericks attacked again, and this time, the Thunder's defense had spread out, and the two sides were destined to fall into position and fight recklessly.
While controlling the ball, Yiyang directs his teammates to run. This rookie, who showed his maturity last season, is more comfortable organizing offense this season.
Marion circled to the top of the three-point arc, and Yiyang shot out immediately. Like usual Yiyang, after passing the ball, Yiyang didn't stop. Instead, keep running and look for opportunities.
Durant didn't want the Mavericks to play tactics easily. He raised his arms high and threw himself in front of Marion. Marion was completely covered, and there was no room for the ball to go out.
Helpless, the No. 0 forward of the Mavericks had to hand the ball to Carter, and the experienced veteran continued to control the ball.
At this time, Nowitzki has pulled to the mid-to-long distance position, and Haywood also stuck Perkins behind him on the inside. And Yiyang quietly cuts to the basket along the bottom line!
The Thunder's formation was stretched wide, and when Carter thought of Yiyang's terrifying bounce that was always overlooked, he had an idea and threw the ball high into the backboard!
Yiyang understood, he quickly cut along the bottom line and jumped suddenly. Only then did people realize that Carter and Yiyang wanted to play an alley-oop!
The Congolese Ibaka reacted quickly and jumped up immediately, trying to block Yiyang's dunk in the air. If the defense of this ball is successful, it can be regarded as revenge for the offensive foul just made.
When Ibaka jumped, all the fans in the stands burst into cheers. Because it seems that the moment Yiyang catches the basketball, he will encounter Ibaka rushing towards him.
Yiyang also knew that this was not a good chance to dunk, but now that he and the basketball are in the air, what else can he do?
How to do? For "The Magician", this is not a problem at all!
Yiyang did not catch the basketball in the air as everyone imagined, but lightly tapped his hand in the sky, changing the original trajectory of the basketball. At this time, Ibaka has been attracted back to the penalty area by Yiyang, and after the basketball changed direction, it happened to go to Nowitzki who was completely emptied!
Nowitzki made an open mid-range shot. With a clear sound, the basketball hit the net and the Mavericks scored another two points!
"Hohohoho! Incredible pass! It was originally an alley-oop, but it was abruptly turned into a wonderful pass!" Barkley yelled exaggeratedly beside O'Neal, and O'Neal had to put his headset on. Turn the volume down. Otherwise, sooner or later the eardrum will be shattered by that guy Barkley.
Even Carter, who passed the ball to Yiyang, smiled. He originally thought that Yiyang, who was targeted by Ibaka, would not escape bad luck. Unexpectedly, that guy used an unimaginable pass to turn the rotten into a miracle.
"Great pass, this is a beautiful pass that can definitely be selected into the top five of the day! A light touch in the air changes the flight trajectory of the basketball accurately. I don't think anyone in this league can do it except at this point!"
"Come on Charles, that guy was just lucky."
"Luck!? Shaq, I think you are old and confused!"
On the commentary stage, Barkley and O'Neill had another spat. On the field, the Oklahoma fans were shouting desperately.
They've stood long enough, and it's time for the Thunder to score their first goal of the day.
The biggest improvement for the Thunder compared to last year is that they will not panic when they fall behind. Although Westbrook really wanted to get a high score in front of Yiyang, he was not in a hurry at this time. After halftime, he didn't do it alone, but still handed the ball to Durant.
Durant held the ball and beckoned for Ibaka to pick and roll. With this pick and roll, Durant completely got rid of Marion and went straight to Huanglong.
Seeing this situation, Brandon Heywood, who was guarding the basket, had no choice but to rush forward. If Durant's breakthrough is left alone, it is no different from actively sending the opponent two points.
After Durant entered the penalty area, he suddenly stopped and took off. It seemed that he was about to make a jump shot.
No matter how bad Haywood is, he is also a good shot blocker. Durant's emergency stop did not confuse him. This tall center with a height of 2.13 meters suddenly jumped, as if a mountain was suddenly pulled up from in front of you.
However, in the air, the corners of Durant's mouth curled up slightly. He retracted the basketball and stuffed the ball into Perkins' hands from the waist of Haywood who had jumped up.
"Damn it!" Haywood yelled badly, and defended Durant himself, which meant that Perkins was unmarked behind him. What he will face is an empty small penalty area and the basket!
Perkins received the basketball, turned around, held the ball tightly with both hands, and was about to jump and dunk on the spot.
Watching Perkins take off, Thunder fans raised their arms high. After this ball, they should be able to sit down and watch the game!
"Boom!" Just as Perkins' body began to fall, he was about to dunk the ball into the basket. There was a muffled sound on the rebound, and the expressions of all the fans in the stands froze. Even Carter and the others on the field opened their mouths in surprise.
Time seemed to stand still in the audience, and everyone's expressions were frozen. The only thing that is still beating is the number on the backboard timer.
"How is this possible!? Also! He rushed into the penalty area with great speed and rewarded Kendrick Perkins with a pegboard cap! Point guard, completed a pegboard block on the head of a center !Hahahaha, also, he successfully destroyed Perkins' dunk that was sure to win!"
Barkley's excited shouts brought everyone's souls back. Perkins broke out in a cold sweat. Normally, he blocked others like this. Today, he was blocked by a point guard with a height of 1.92 meters. This cold feeling in the back is really uncomfortable.
Yiyang's iconic pursuit broke the Thunder's dream of scoring goals again. After receiving the falling basketball, Yiyang started to run and attack quickly. He went straight to the penalty area and dunked with both hands before Westbrook posted it.
After the goal, Thunder coach Brooks immediately called to stop the game. And Yiyang, who has been oppressed by all kinds of remarks these days, yelled at the stands to vent his emotions.
"You guys, keep standing for me!"
Never underestimate the Dallas Mavericks, because they have a brand new leader.
