One Guard

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! "Never hate your enemy, it will make you lose your judgment."

This is a very classic line in the movie "The Godfather". Every sentence in this movie, which can be called the "Men's Bible", is worthy of everyone's deep thinking.

But Mike, the protagonist who said this sentence in the movie, certainly did not expect that in this world, there is a person who can completely soften the two emotions of hatred and calmness. Today, that kind of guy is standing on the hardwood floor of the American Airlines Center arena.

Excited, Cousins ​​took advantage of his jumping and got the ball into the hands of his defender Marcus Thornton. This little-known second-round guard in 2009 has ushered in a big explosion this season. So far, he has averaged 18.5 points per game and is the king's well-deserved top scorer.

In fact, in the 27 games after he transferred from the Hornets to the Kings last season, he averaged 21.3 points per game. But because the record of the Kings is really a mess, Marcus Thornton will be ignored by people.

Thornton, who performed so well, naturally wouldn't be afraid of Yiyang, on the contrary, he also hoped that by winning this high-profile match, he would become famous in the first battle!

So Thornton took control of the ball for half court and called Cousins ​​to pick and roll for him.

Marcus Thornton is 1.93 meters tall, and he is currently playing the No. 1 position on the field. But don't get me wrong, Thornton is not a high-level point guard like Yiyang and Kidd, he is a true shooting guard. The reason why Kings coach Keith Smart let Thornton play the No. 1 position was because the Kings really didn't have any guards available.

Thornton will not organize the offense like a point guard. What he likes most is to hold the ball and attack the basket by himself!

The strong Thornton was ready to go to the penalty area through Cousins' pick-and-roll, but what he didn't expect was that Cousins' pick-and-roll had almost no effect on Yiyang.

Just a few steps out, Yiyang posted it again, forcing Thornton to stop abruptly. The No. 1 guard of the Mavericks frowned tightly, his eyes fixed on the basketball in Thornton's hands. This guy was like a cheetah that saw a deer, as if it would rush out and swallow Thornton at any time.

Thornton felt numb from Yiyang's gaze, but this second-round pick did not intend to give up. This year is the last year of Thornton's rookie contract, and he still expects to use his outstanding performance this season to exchange for a big contract!

So Thornton dribbled the ball and took a step back, then dribbled the ball alternately between his crotch, looking like he planned to single out Yiyang!

Although there are indeed many examples of second-round picks in the history of the NBA, the reason why Thornton fell to the second round is not all because the scouts are blind. This guy's mediocre athletic ability is simply not enough to be seen in the nba arena. He planned to force Yiyang, but he didn't have that speed.

Suo Dun suddenly stabbed to Yiyang's left, and then changed hands behind his back, preparing to pass Yiyang with a back change.

But in Yiyang's view, Thornton's movements are not much different from the slow motion in the movie. He judged in advance where the ball would appear, and stretched out his long arms. Marcus Thornton failed to change the ball from his right hand to his left hand as he wished, because Yiyang broke it when the basketball bounced up!

"Marcus Thornton made a dribble error and stabbed away the basketball. God, his speed is unbelievable! Before halftime, there was a distance between Yi and Thornton!" Kenny. Smith's eyes widened. Thornton was like an old car that could only be driven normally in second gear. As for Yiyang, he sped away in fifth gear!

Just as Yiyang stepped into the three-second zone, Carter raised his arms ahead of time to celebrate the goal. With no one around, Yiyang ended his opening show with a big windmill dunk with both hands!

After landing, Yiyang didn't smile, but continued to frown tightly, looking fierce.

That heavy punch, Yiyang hasn't hit yet!

"This goal fully proves that those gossip media are just talking nonsense,

I believe it is impossible for a man who walked from Kardashian's bed to have such vigorous vitality! "On this matter, Barkley also helped Yiyang open his mouth. It is best for those entertainment reporters to ignore the affairs of our sports circle!

"Damn!" Cousins ​​picked up the basketball on the ground dissatisfied, looking very unhappy. Thornton is also a little afraid of Cousins' temper. If he makes another mistake, he will definitely have no good results in the locker room today. For the next attack, it is better to hit the ball to Cousins.

In fact, Cousins ​​wasn't complaining about Thornton's mistake just now, he was just simply upset that Yiyang performed under his nose again.

Again, hate can make you lose your judgment. And Cousins ​​​​is the player who is most vulnerable to emotional fluctuations.

After being dunked by Yiyang, the Kings reorganized their offense. Since the Kings didn't even have a decent point guard in their starting lineup, their offense didn't play smoothly.

The ball passed blindly several times before it finally fell into Cousins' hands. Cousins ​​has long wanted to show off, and the relationship between him and Yiyang last year is far from over!

Holding the ball and leaning heavily, Braden Haywood was pushed back by Cousins. Cousins' strength is indeed terrifying, but the guy's biggest problem is being too emotional.

Playing with emotions, he naturally did not do well enough in the details of his movements. Cousins ​​was just about to pull up for a layup, but the ball was slammed by Haywood who had quick eyes and quick hands. Cousins, who did not protect the ball, let go. The ball was cut out.

The basketball flew out of bounds, and it was about to go out of bounds. At this time, Yiyang suddenly jumped out, stretched out his arms and caught the basketball while parallel to the floor!

But now Yiyang is in the crowd, no matter how superb his passing skills are, it is difficult to save the ball back to his teammates. So Yiyang had an idea and threw the ball at Cousins' feet.

Cousins ​​still realized what was going on, and the basketball bounced off his shoes and flew out of bounds. The ball was abruptly "changed" by Yiyang to the Mavericks!

"Out of bounds, backcourt ball!"

After the referee made his own decision, Cousins, who had suffered a loss, took two big strides to join in, wanting to comment with the referee. Fortunately, Tyreke Evans stopped in time, and Cousins ​​avoided a technical foul.

"It's also very smart, and his actions undoubtedly greatly stimulated Cousins' nerves. Believe me. In the following games, Cousins ​​will become a time bomb that may explode at any time!" Barkley's appearance became more and more frightening.

This second-year point guard knows how to irritate opponents.

Yiyang's self-sacrificing save caused him to fall hard, but he regained possession of the ball for the team. As Yiyang slowly approached the three-point line, Marcus Thornton's nerves gradually became tense.

Marcus Thornton was nicknamed "Barrel" because the guy was so big. But what didn't match Thornton's strong body was his poor defense.

Thornton's biggest problem on the defensive end is that his anticipation ability is really poor. Thornton had no idea what the opponent would do next. Naturally, it is impossible to effectively intercept the opponent if it relies on temporary reactions.

Yiyang casually walked to a position two steps away from the three-point line. He looked at Nowitzki, who was in a better position in the middle distance, and raised his ball handler, as if intending to hit the ground and send the ball inside. .

Even Dirk Nowitzki thought so. He squeezed Kings power forward J.J. Hickson out of the way and won himself a little room to catch the ball. Then he opened his big hands, waiting for the basketball to fall into his arms.

But the next second, Nowitzki was dumbfounded. The basketball did not appear, instead, it was Thornton whose body was tilted and Yiyang who broke through extremely fast!

It turned out that when the ball was about to be released, Yiyang used tricks on his wrist to change the trajectory of the basketball.

An action that originally passed the ball to the right, was changed to the left by Yiyang. Yiyang quickly swiped past Thornton, and Thornton even almost fell because of his unstable center of gravity.

Seeing Yiyang breaking into the restricted area, Cousins ​​immediately left Heywood behind to defend without thinking.

Cousins ​​leaped aggressively, covering the sky with his hands, and it looked like no one could get away from the powerful center alive.

In the air, Yiyang's basketball was about to be blocked by Cousins. The Dallas No. 1 guard retracted the basketball to his abdomen in the air, and after avoiding Cousins' block, he lifted it up and threw it to the basket again.

The basketball went into the net, Cousins' first head-to-head confrontation with Yiyang ended in failure!

"What a pleasing pull-up layup. It is like no one in the air, changing layups wantonly. Cousins ​​averaged 1.2 blocks per game this season. The restricted area he guards is the nightmare of many outside players. But obviously, Yiyang has successfully flown through the no-fly zone guarded by Cousins!"

Fortunately, the referee was "merciful" and did not call Cousins ​​for a foul and let Yiyang hit a three-pointer. Otherwise, Carlisle can guarantee that the big guy will definitely get a technical foul now.

4 to 0, Yiyang scored two goals in a row, and the start was quite smooth. But the scary look on the Asian guard's face didn't go away, didn't you guys say I'm putting all my energy into Kardashian's bed?

Don't blink, even if your face hurts, don't blink! Yiyang will slash his body one by one, allowing you to have a detailed understanding and cognition of your own death process.

The Kings attacked for the third time. Tyreke Evans, who played amazing data in his rookie season, used his strong body to squeeze Marion away and kill him to the basket.

This guy didn't take off directly after reaching the basket, but smartly gave Marion a physical confrontation first. After he squeezed Marion away, he jumped up unhurriedly, ready to layup easily.

Evans pushed him away from Carter, but it also gave Yiyang a chance to defend.

Evans just shot the basketball, and from his side, Yiyang suddenly came out! Once that No. 1 guard is in the paint, usually nothing good happens.

I saw Yiyang's long arm was like a whip, violently slapping the basketball that Evans just dropped out of bounds.

"Hoho! I won't give an inch today!" Barkley stood up from the bench excitedly, raising his arms high.

The basketball went out of bounds, and Yiyang once again stopped the Kings from attacking. The on-site photographer's lens once again gave a close-up of Yiyang's face, and this guy was still looking murderous.

Whether it was Cousins, who spoke out before the game, or Victor Jason, who posted insulting remarks on social media, today, they must be in bad luck.
