One Guard

After Yiyang scored eight points in a row with self-injection and self-compensation, the Jazz players became visibly vigilant. The Dallas Mavericks are not as vulnerable as the media reported. It is precisely because they have just experienced the longest four-game losing streak this season, so they are more eager to win than ever!

Millsap is not the kind of player who loses control of his body as soon as his brain heats up. After two unwise impulsive attacks, he has escaped from the anger of being dunked by Yiyang. Now Millsap is extremely calm, and he no longer asks for the ball indiscriminately. And this undoubtedly greatly improved the offensive quality of the Jazz.

"Yi's defense is as tight as ever, and Devin Harris doesn't seem to have any good chances. We saw the right wing Gordon Hayward suddenly come out, and Harris quickly hit the ball! Hayward from beyond the three-point line Catch and shoot, hit a three-pointer! Haha, here we come! This is the Utah Jazz under Tyrone Corbin, they are all soldiers!" Seeing that the Jazz finally played a smooth attack, O'Neill had already begun to fantasize about Barkley Day It looks like a wig.

"Charles is only three points away. Even though he performed so well, he still couldn't open the score."

"The game has only started less than five minutes, you idiot, if anyone can open the score within five minutes, what is there to see in the NBA?" Barkley retorted back without hesitation. More intense than on the pitch.

Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, the Jazz have also greatly improved. They were no longer attracted by the rest of the Mavericks, but put all their defensive focus on Yiyang.

In the beginning, the Mavericks' tactic was that others try to open up space for Yiyang outside the three-point line, and then Yiyang singled Harris to score easily. But now, the Jazz's defensive formation began to shrink consciously.

When Yiyang easily breaks through Harris again, he will no longer face the empty three-second zone, but the Jazz's layer upon layer of defense!

Seeing this situation, Yiyang passed the ball directly. In the right corner of the court, Carter has been left empty.

As soon as Yiyanggang passed the ball, Hayward immediately changed his defensive target and rushed towards Carter again. Although Carter threw the ball before Hayward, his exhausted physical fitness and slight interference caused Carter to lose his sight.

"Vince Carter missed a shot from outside the three-point line. This is the result the Jazz want to see! If other players of the Mavericks can't shoot, they will face even more pressure!" Kenny Smith He didn't get too involved in the farce between O'Neill and Barkley, and he was also the one who watched the game most seriously among the three.

Kenny Smith knew Carlisle's strategy, he just wanted to use the shooters to help Yiyang create space. But if the shooters can't score, their containment effect will be greatly reduced.

The Mavericks' offense was not good, but the Jazz seized the opportunity to make another victory. Millsap and Al Jefferson came to a pick-and-roll cooperation inside the block to help Millsap go to the middle distance to receive the basketball.

The latter made an open shot decisively and did not give Nowitzki a chance to make amends. The basketball is hollow into the net, and the Jazz are officially on track!

"Carlisle's tactics are fine, and the execution of the players is fine. The problem is that the tired Mavericks find it difficult to make shots from the outside. I wonder if Coach Carlisle will make some adjustments after that?"

At this time, Carlisle actually doesn't have much to do. A group of old guys who are so tired that they are struggling to shoot, can you still expect them to break through and cause damage? Create scoring opportunities for Yiyang, this is the only way!

For the rest of the first quarter, the scores of the two sides became anxious again. Yiyang was surrounded by layers, but the shooting percentage of the rest of the Mavericks was terrible. The Jazz gradually took control of the initiative until the rotation time came.

Because Kidd was injured and Delonte West had just been waived, Yiyang was the only starter who remained on the court during the rotation. Today's game,

Yiyang must last for more than 40 minutes. So he is very careful about the allocation of his physical energy, for fear that he will lose his strength at the last moment.

Unexpectedly, after the Mavericks replaced the rotation lineup, the game played a little better.

As soon as the timeout came back, Yiyang assisted Yi Jianlian who was floating outside to hit a mid-range and long-range shot. Although Yi Jianlian's "flying a kite" style of play is not popular in other teams, it is just very suitable for the Mavericks.

In the second attack, Yi Jianlian, a guy with little sense of presence, was still emptied by the Jazz. The Jazz's substitute No. 4, Derrick Favors, insisted on choosing to defend Yiyang.

As a result, Yi Jianlian hit the second mid-range shot of the day as if he was doing shooting training.

"Yi has scored four points in a row, the Jazz's defense may pay more attention to the Mavericks' gap!"

"Go out, I can do it by myself!" Jazz substitute center Ines Kanter whispered in Favors' ear, if the Chinese had a good shot, it would be troublesome.

It's clear that the Swiss Kante is overconfident in his abilities. After losing the defense of Favors, Yiyang is like a wild horse running wild.

He used Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll to directly enter the penalty area, then turned around and passed C.J. Miles who came to make up the defense, and then faced Kanter who was guarding the basket!

Yiyang wasn't afraid of the Swiss' fierce eyes, he leaned directly on Kanter and took off for a layup. In the air, Kanter violated Yiyang's cylinder with too much force, and the referee immediately whistled. But even with his body twisted, Yiyang still managed to stabilize the rhythm of his shots, and lightly tossed the basketball onto the board.

Yiyang, who lost his center of gravity, fell hard to the ground, and the basketball he threw up, scraped the backboard and bounced into the hoop!

"Three-pointer! It also caused a foul and added a penalty! Haha, after the rotation lineup came on the court, the Mavericks were revitalized! Maybe Coach Carlisle can consider letting the rotation lineup play more time today!"

Yi Jianlian and Terry hurried over and pulled Yiyang up from the ground. Yiyang rubbed his aching back from the fall, and then walked directly to the free throw line.

The moment Yiyang received the pass from the referee, boos from the Jazz fans immediately rushed to his face. Yiyang closed his eyes, trying to get rid of all distracting thoughts.

"The essence of professional basketball is victory...the essence of professional basketball is victory..." After silently reading both sides of this sentence in his heart, Yiyang opened his eyes suddenly, adjusted his breathing, and then Take it easy.

The voices of more than 10,000 fans at the Energy Solutions Arena could not prevent Yiyang from making an extra penalty. At this point, the Mavericks once again overtook the score. And Yiyang's score in the first quarter has soared to 13!

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks took a narrow 24-22 lead. While the points gap wasn't huge, Carlisle saw a good pick. Today's game might not be so difficult to win!

"During the first quarter, the Mavericks played really well beyond expectations. But I have to remind everyone that he has played 12 minutes and he has played a full quarter. So the second quarter just started At that time, I will definitely rest. At that time, it is the best opportunity for the Jazz to build an advantage. Losing Yi, the Mavericks are equal to..."

"No no no Kenny, look at the field." Before Kenny Smith could finish his commentary, he was interrupted roughly by Barkley.

Looking in the direction of Barkley's finger, Kenny Smith's eyes widened. The second quarter has already started, but Yi Yang, who just played for 12 minutes, is still in battle!

"There was no rest. Coach Carlisle didn't replace the rest! Moreover, his lineup was very weird! Nowitzki played the fifth position, Yi Jianlian played the fourth position, and Terry played the second position! Coach Carlisle took out A lineup with a mix of starters and substitutes, I hope his changes can help the Mavericks regain control of the situation!" Barkley rubbed his hands excitedly, just warming up, and then, the fun will begin!

The purpose of Carlisle sending this lineup is very simple. These guys are the best players on the Mavericks today. Yi Jianlian, Terry and Nowitzki can at least guarantee the shooting percentage of open shots. Marion, on the other hand, can share the pressure of outside defense.

As long as the opening has a hit rate, Yiyang can get a chance. And once Yiyang is driven crazy, the Jazz will never win this game again!

At the beginning of the second quarter, the unbelieving Jazz still defended Yiyang strictly, even using double teams.

But don't forget, Yiyang is one of the top passers in this league. Even in the crowd, he can safely get the ball to his teammates.

Yiyang's breakthrough attracted two insiders, Al Jefferson and Millsap, to block the basket under the basket. Yiyang seems to have no vision, but in fact he has already observed Nowitzki's running position.

He grounded a pass and sent the ball between Jefferson's legs to Nowitzki's hands. Seeing that his crotch was pierced, Al Jefferson hurriedly turned around. But what he saw was Nowitzki's beautiful shooting posture.

"Dirk made another shot! The Jazz's defense has already had problems. It depends on how they choose! Whether to continue to defend against each other, or to allocate attention to other people."

So far, the Jazz's choice is still to press Yiyang step by step! The Chinese defender scored 13 points in the first quarter, and his strength is beyond doubt. Let him score, I'm afraid he will break his own scoring record in the energy solution arena!

After that, Millsap wanted to beat Yi Jianlian. But obviously, this power forward who is only 2.03 meters tall underestimated Yi Jianlian's strength.

Yi Jianlian's ability is indeed not top-notch in the NBA, and he has played tepidly with the Mavericks for more than a month. But anyway, he is also a player with NBA rotation level, and he can't be defeated casually.

Millsap directly leaned on Yi Jianlian to force a breakthrough, and the strong Millsap walked to the basket with ease. Then, he jumped up and layup without getting rid of the defense!

Yi Jianlian gritted his teeth, jumped up, straightened his arms, and suddenly knocked off the basketball in Millsap's hand!

Shocked, Millsap reached out to catch the ball, but in a panic, he accidentally poked the ball out of the baseline! Basketball out of bounds, Mavericks have the ball!

"Haha, Yi Jianlian's block is very beautiful! Paul seems to think of his opponent too simply! Chinese players are not as easy to bully as people think, which is a living example!"

Millsap had black lines on his face. He thought he had caught a soft persimmon, but he took a risk instead.

Afterwards, Yi Jianlian sent the baseline ball directly to Yiyang. The Jazz's strategy remained unchanged. They shrunk the lineup as much as possible and focused on defending Yiyang's breakthrough.

This time, Yiyang didn't rush to hit the basket, but gestured for a while outside the three-point line.

After his teammates started to run, Yiyang's hands began to speed up and alternately dribble, and he was about to go "hurricane"!

Yiyang, who was planning to break through, suddenly retreated obliquely, as if he was about to shoot a three-pointer! This scene scared Harris to step forward to block it. Yiyang's step-back three-pointer has killed too many opponents this season, and Harris doesn't want to be a "ghost shot".

Yiyang retreated and took back the basketball, looking up at the basket. At the same time, Harris struggled to jump up, even if he couldn't block Yiyang's shot, he would interfere as much as possible.

However, the moment he took off, he was actually led away by Yiyang.

The corners of Yiyang's mouth turned up slightly, and he accelerated past Harris after the jump. Harris' eyes widened, cold sweat dripping down his back.

"Bai Buddha's fake moves are so realistic, even I thought I was going to shoot!" Kenny Smith roared. The small details of Yiyang just receiving the ball and raising his head fakes are not something everyone can worry about. .

After Yiyang's breakthrough, he naturally killed the penalty area at high speed. The players of the Jazz quickly cleaned up. It is no exaggeration to say that Yiyang was surrounded by four people!

The Dallas One jumped bravely, but sent the "cannonball" to Terry with a behind-the-head pass in the air.

"The starting players of the Mavericks didn't perform well outside the three-point line today, so what will happen to Terry who came off the bench!?" Barkley's heart was raised in his throat.

It took a while for Terry to catch the ball before he made a steady shot. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, which made the Jazz fans desperate and fell straight into the net!

"Go in! The offense of the Dallas Mavericks is completely open! Now, the Jazz have to defend!"

After the goal, Carlisle, who was sitting on the bench, shook his fist vigorously to vent his excitement.

Just because the rest of the Mavericks can score doesn't mean they'll follow the Jazz's pattern of spreading offense throughout the halfcourt. Due to the extremely tired relationship, the offensive stability of others still cannot meet the requirements.

But at least now, Carlisle's group of shooters for Yiyang has been just enough to hold back. Then, it's time for Yi Yang's performance......
