One Guard
Chapter 393: Super Forest
In January 2012, the Mavericks were perfect. 13 wins in 15 games. Among the two losses, one was defeated by the Spurs and the other was defeated by the Clippers. This kind of failure in the face of strong teams is not unacceptable.
People's topics are all on Yiyang, no one knows what kind of height this young man will reach in the future. This season, he has almost replaced Dirk Nowitzki as the team's leading force. What about in the future? He may be able to lead the team to the top like Nowitzki. Although people are not optimistic about the Mavericks' ability to successfully defend their title this season, there is no doubt that their future is still exciting.
But no one thought that the Mavericks suffered a three-game losing streak at the beginning of February. On February 1, the Mavericks met the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are heading for the championship this season. The powerful strength of the Thunder made the Mavericks with an aging lineup unable to parry. In the playoffs last season, the Thunder were too immature, and the Mavericks were experienced. So in the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder were no match for the Mavericks at all.
But this season, the young Thunder has matured, and the Mavericks have become a little weak. In the previous two encounters this season, the Mavericks narrowly won. The Thunder have only lost four games so far, two of which were thanks to the Mavericks. Yiyang and Nowitzki have always played the role of nemesis in the ring, but this time, the Thunder seized the opportunity and finally defeated the Mavericks once.
Westbrook and Durant combined to score 56 points and beat the Mavericks to nothing. The biggest reason why the Mavericks, which have been able to restrain the Thunder, lost was because of injuries.
Brandon Haywood, the only inside defensive pillar of the Mavericks, was injured and left the field in the second quarter of the game. Chandler's departure earlier this season has dealt a devastating blow to the Mavericks' interior. Now without Haywood as a low-profile substitute, the Mavericks will only have one Frenchman, Maxinmi, who can still use it. At this point, the Mavericks' interior defense collapsed instantly, and the Thunder seized the opportunity to snatch the victory.
Yiyang scored 28 points and 11 assists in this game, but the Mavericks still lost the game despite the unfavorable defense.
95 to 86, the Thunder finally got revenge. The loss of this game also shattered the Mavericks' dream of winning ten consecutive victories. The Thunder also successfully retained their No. 1 throne in the Western Conference because of their victory in this game.
Although the game was lost, the loss did not attract too many people's attention. With so many games in a season, it is normal to lose once or twice. What's more, the Thunder is one of the strongest teams in the league this season. It won't surprise anyone that they beat any opponent.
But what people didn't expect was that on February 3, the Mavericks lost again. This time, it was the Indiana Pacers who beat them.
In this game, Kidd had just played 3 minutes before leaving due to injury. Haywood just lost the day before yesterday, and his comeback time is still far away. Today, the Mavericks lost Kidd again, and the integrity of the team's lineup was greatly damaged.
Although Kidd's tactical status this season is not as important as last season, he is still an indispensable member of the rotation. After he was sidelined due to injury, Carlisle could only use the mentally unstable Delonte West to play the main rotation.
Although West has occasionally performed brilliantly this season, you can't expect too much from him more often.
The Pacers seized the opportunity, Paul George scored 30 points, and David West scored 20 points. On the other hand, for the Mavericks, after being hit hard, only Yiyang performed normally.
In the end, the Mavericks swallowed the defeat 87 to 98. This is the second time the Mavericks have experienced a losing streak this season.
The most unexpected thing is that one day after losing to the Pacers, the Mavericks lost to the rebuilding Cleveland Cavaliers! Throughout the game, Yiyang kept the pressure on Cavaliers star Irving. But no one expected that Irving hit a mid-range shot in the last 2 seconds of the game and succeeded in lore!
In this regard, the Mavericks lost 3 games in a row! And Yiyang, who was killed by Owen, was once again questioned. The last time he was shot by Billups, people said that it was Carter who faced Billups at the last moment, not Yiyang. But this time, Owen scored the winning goal on Yiyang's head, and Yiyang didn't have any excuses. Although he is better-looking than Irving in terms of statistics, he still lost, and he lost very thoroughly!
Just an hour after Yiyang was killed by Owen, Madison Square Garden in New York. The Knicks won the game even though star Anthony scored 17 points on 20 percent shooting, and the commentators had only one name on their lips!
"Incredible Jeremy Lin, he saved the Knicks! God, in January, we just experienced the ravages of the same year. From the beginning of February, Jeremy Lin played crazy performance! Asian defender, Is this going to dominate the league!?" Mike Breen looked at the field in amazement, looking at the yellow-skinned guard who performed a miracle and saved the Knicks from the fire.
It is said that Jeremy Lin is about to be given up by the Knicks. He can't even afford to rent a decent apartment in New York. These days he still spends his days on the sofa at the home of his teammate Landry Fields. But it was such an incredible little person who changed the fate of New York!
"No one would have thought that this young Asian man wearing the No. 17 jersey could make a whirlwind in the bustling New York City. This is simply a miracle! He was cut by the Mavericks after the end of the summer league last season. After that, he was abandoned by the Warriors and the Rockets. This year in New York Knicks, he was about to lose his job. But tonight, Jeremy not only saved the Knicks, but also saved his own career!" Mike. Brin was completely infected by Jeremy Lin's inspirational experience, and Yiyang's enthusiasm was instantly overshadowed by Jeremy Lin.
The two Asian defenders both played incredible performances, and the two naturally couldn't escape being compared by fans and reporters.
"Yi and Jeremy were teammates in the summer league for a short time before, and the personal relationship between the two is also very good. If they meet, I really don't know what kind of sparks they will create!"
"The Mavericks are really rich in point guards. After Kidd, Nash, Harris and Yi, now there is another Jeremy Lin. It is a pity that none of them except Yi have ever stayed in Dallas at their peak. The next time the Knicks and the Mavericks meet, the game will definitely be pretty good!"
"The Mavericks have lost three games in a row recently, and they have just been beaten by No. 1 Irving. At the critical moment, they seem a little unreliable. But Jeremy is different. It seems that the more anxious the game, the greater his ability to burst out! If these two people meet, they may not take advantage of it at all!"
The day after the game, an unprecedented phenomenon occurred in the NBA. All the reporters and fans are actually discussing two defenders with yellow skin and black hair! In an NBA league full of strong men, two Asian players have become the biggest stars. Everyone believes that the era of Americans dominating the basketball world will be over, and Asian players have begun to make their mark in the world.
Yi Yang, who was killed by Owen, was greatly stimulated. Seeing Jeremy Lin's rise, Yi Yang was even more unwilling to lag behind.
So in the half month after the three-game losing streak, the Mavericks defeated the Nuggets twice, as well as the Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Clippers and 76ers, and achieved a wave of six consecutive victories. During the six games, Yiyang averaged 25.8 points, 11.7 assists and 2.3 steals per game, winning the Western Conference player of the week for two consecutive weeks.
As for the Knicks, although they lost Anthony, who was absent due to injury, under the leadership of Jeremy Lin, they defeated the Jazz, Wizards, Timberwolves, Raptors, Kings and even the mighty Los Angeles Lakers!
On February 6th, Jeremy Lin made his debut in the crowded Madison Square Garden. When Carmelo Anthony limped off the field, Jeremy Lin stood up again. Familiar layups and jump shots scored, made 2+1 fouls, and helped the team beat the Utah Jazz 99 to 88.
In the following week, Jeremy Lin scored a 23+10 double-double without hesitation in the challenge of Wall, the main force of the Washington Wizards. This was also his first double-double in the NBA.
On February 10, the Knicks played against the Lakers at home. This time, Jeremy Lin's opponent was the extremely powerful Kobe. In this campaign, Jeremy Lin scored 38 points to beat Kobe Bryant's 34 points, and at the same time helped the team win. Madison Square Garden applauded thunderously. After the game, the reporters asked Kobe how Jeremy Lin was doing. Facing the camera, Kobe just curled his lips helplessly, and then said, "He scored nearly 40 points on me, but you asked me how he was doing?"
Although Jeremy Lin was not directly praised, there is no doubt that even the proud "Black Mamba" has been conquered by Jeremy Lin's terrifying performance. Consecutive losses at the hands of Asian defenders, Bryant's heart is really quite bitter.
This week, Jeremy Lin averaged 27.3 points, 8.3 assists and 2.0 steals in his four starting games, led the Knicks to five consecutive victories and won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.
The newly coined term "Linsanity" has become popular all over the world. Two Asian guards dominated the East and West respectively in February. People have imagined countless times what kind of game they will play when the two meet again.
However, all of this is about to happen!
On February 20, the NBA arranged a total of 10 games and 20 teams participated in the battle. Among them, there are many popular teams such as the Heat and the Lakers, as well as superstars such as James, Kobe and Howard. But almost all TV stations have given the same game live broadcasts across the United States. This game is the game between the New York Knicks and the Dallas Mavericks at Madison Square Garden!
Yiyang and Jeremy Lin, two Asian guards, stole the limelight from everyone, even Kobe and James couldn't hold back their popularity.
One led the team to a 6-game winning streak with a three-game losing streak and an incomplete team lineup, and the other played a crazy performance when he was about to be cut, making "Linsanity" sweep the world.
Now, however, the two Asian defenders who have dominated the East and West are finally meeting. Everyone is ready, and the ratings of this game will surely delight all TV stations.
This showdown like sparks hitting the earth is about to start in New York, the "Big Apple City"! This time the battle in New York may be even hotter than in the Avengers!
