One Guard

The direct contest between the Mavericks and the Clippers is also a dialogue between two young players with great personalities. Long before the end of the regular season, the media began to hype the game.

There are too many hype stories between Yiyang and Griffin. They are all considered to be the most superstar-like young people in the league. From this point onwards, Yiyang snatched Griffin away last season. The best rookie award, and then this All-Star game, the friction between Griffin and Yiyang escalated. The dispute between the two finally came to the time to settle the ledger.

"...Yi and the Mavericks defeated almost all opponents in the regular season, leading the Mavericks to enter the playoffs again with the third best record in the Western Conference. But, they are the only ones that have not won the Los Angeles Clippers."

"Both teams are in very good shape. I think it's going to be a very intense and interesting series. The Mavericks can accept a temporary loss during the regular season, but believe me, they won't be in the playoffs." I will take half a step back!"

"Before the game, he also refused to comment on the game and his opponent Griffin, and Griffin said that the Clippers will definitely be able to counterattack the higher-ranked Mavericks to win when facing reporters' questioning. In any case, this game The competition will be very intense!"

The discussion about the Mavericks and the Clippers has never stopped, and the fans are very much looking forward to the collision of the two teams. And this day finally came.

Just one day after the end of the regular season, the NBA did not give fans and players any chance to react or breathe, and pushed the flames of the NBA playoffs to the whole world.

Mavericks vs. Clippers, these two teams that used to have no intersection, have now become the two most high-profile teams in the first round of the playoffs.

The conflict between Yiyang and Griffin, and the experience of the Mavericks suffering a triple kill against the Clippers all added a lot of interesting topics to this game.

Switching quickly between the regular season and the playoffs is not an easy task for the players. Although they have just come out of the shrinking season with intensive stadiums, the players have to play at a more intense pace.

But when the players of the Clippers and Mavericks came out to warm up, you couldn't see that these were two teams that had just finished the regular season. Are they not tired? Of course tired. But in the face of the deadly enemy, no one wants to relax!

From the players who came out to warm up, it can be seen that both sides are elites. The Mavericks have a complete lineup, and the Clippers, except for Billups, who has already been reimbursed for the season, are also on the field.

Without the troubles of injuries and other factors, this will be a head-to-head bloody duel.

15 minutes before the start of the game, the players finished warming up and walked off the court again. The coach must also make the final deployment to the players within 15 minutes.

The originally white and clean tactical board has been messed up, but this is not important, no one looks at it, and the real tactics have long been printed in the players' minds.

At this time, TNT TV gave Yiyang and Paul a split-screen shot. Although the conflict between Yiyang and Griffin is one of the highlights of this game, everyone knows that the direct dialogue between Yiyang and Paul is the essence of this game.

In Paul's first year with the Clippers, he led the "Los Angeles Second Team" to the playoffs. Of course, he wants more than just the playoffs. Paul will not be satisfied with such a result in one round, so facing Yiyang, he will definitely do his best. The Western Conference finals and even the championship, this is Paul's yearning!

And Yiyang, who has grown up, is not completely behind in the face of Paul. The "fairy battle" between the two star point guards obviously whetted everyone's appetite.

"The Mavericks are indeed very strong, very strong. They defeated the Big Three and won the championship last season when people were not optimistic. Playoffs. But!" Off the court, Clippers coach Pooh DeNagello was making the final mobilization to the players. He suddenly changed the subject,

The players also cheered up.

"Only facing us, the Mavericks have never won! Although we are playing away today, there is no reason for them to take away the victory! Go to the field and send the defending champion home!"

"Roar!" The players roared in response to De Nagro's impassioned speech, and then stepped onto the court one by one with the determination to win.

The Clippers are aggressive, but the Mavericks are a little tepid.

Yiyang, Carter, Marion, Dirk and Haywood, the starting lineup of the Mavericks has been in use since the beginning of the season. This group of guys didn't seem as excited as the Clippers' starting five when they got on the court, but don't think that's because they accepted the fate of failure.

This group of Mavericks has been deeply influenced by Yiyang's personality, and this team has also been branded by Yiyang. Their excitement will only be revealed in the game!

The referee blew the whistle and threw the basketball into the air, and the hands of the two giants, Jordan and Haywood, intertwined in the air. At that moment, Yiyang suddenly widened his eyes.

Griffin, your days are over!

"DeAndre Jordan won the first attack for the Clippers, ladies and gentlemen, the long-awaited game between the Mavericks and the Clippers in the Western Conference playoffs has begun!" Kenny Smith shouted It kicked off this match, and Barkley and O'Neal entered their best form from the very beginning. These two critters stared at the court seriously, but Kenny Smith rarely saw them so serious.

Paul lightly received the ball and began to organize the Clippers' first offense. As soon as Paul held the ball, the entire Mavericks tensed up. Because they are very clear that Paul is like Yiyang, the threat he brings is not only himself, this guy can revitalize the entire team!

Paul strolled over to the three-point line and reached out to ask Griffin to pick and roll for him.

"The No. 1 pick" Griffin blocked Yiyang excitedly. Although he was picking and rolling the ball for Paul, Griffin knew very well that it was Paul making the ball for himself!

After the pick-and-roll, Paul didn't hesitate, and went directly to the basket through the screen. I have to admit that the quality of Griffin's pick-and-roll is still very high, and Yiyang didn't squeeze through.

Seeing that Paul got rid of Yiyang, Nowitzki had to switch to Paul. When Paul saw Nowitzki stretch his arms across his face, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he threw the ball directly to the backboard!

At the same time, after finishing the screen, Griffin has successfully cut inside. The only thing he needs to do now is to jump up and grab the basketball in the air, and then slam it into the frame!

This is a very classic pick-and-roll cooperation between Paul and Griffin. Paul's exquisite passing coupled with Griffin's athletic ability has already earned Los Angeles the reputation of "the city of lobs". Facts have proved that Paul and Griffin did not disappoint the fans. Watching the Clippers game, the most indispensable thing is the wonderful alley-oop!

Griffin took a leap and was about to open the game with a lob. However, Yiyang took the lead, with an unbelievable jumping height, before Griffin caught the high pass directly!

"hat!?"

"impossible!?"

"Yiyang, hahahaha, he cut the ball so beautifully!"

Suddenly, exclamations came from the commentary platform. Even Paul, who passed the ball to Griffin, widened his eyes. Blake Griffin, a guy with amazing jumping, actually lost to a point guard in aerial work!

The height of Yiyang's vertical jump just now made Paul gasp. What is straight-line lift-off? What Paul saw just now was straight-line lift-off!

After intercepting the basketball, Yiyang slammed the basketball on the ground.

The basketball passed through the crowd and bounced back to the old Carter who had already started.

"Hey, a super long-distance hit pass, and the pass is very accurate. It seems that Kidd has also learned everything he needs to learn!"

Yiyang used a pleasing long-distance ground pass to assist the old Carter to take off again. The latter succeeded in a one-handed dunk with no one chasing and defending, which gave the Mavericks a good start to the playoffs!

"Damn it!" Seeing Carter's successful goal, Griffin couldn't help clenching his teeth. Just now he actually lost to Yiyang in the bounce that he was most proud of, which really made Griffin feel very embarrassed.

In fact, Yiyang was able to steal the alley-oop pass just now, not only by bouncing. Before the game, Yiyang and Carlisle almost threw up watching the clips of the Clippers. So when Paul beckoned Griffin to pick and roll, Yiyang probably guessed Paul's next thinking.

Top-level anticipation ability, this is the weapon that Kidd was able to dominate on the defensive end back then. And now, this ability has also been passed on to Yiyang. As Kidd himself said, seeing that Yiyang can do this, he can already retreat behind the scenes with peace of mind.

In the next Clippers attack, Paul broke through and gave the old Mavericks player Caron Butler a chance from outside the three-point line.

Before last year's season, Caron Butler was the Mavericks' second-leading scorer. Cuban's decision to send away his team's No. 2 scorer for a rookie was unanimously criticized.

But for now, Cuban's decision could not have been wiser. Butler fired directly from the three-point line, but Marion's supplementary defense was very active.

If it is the regular season, Marion may let Butler go to shoot in order to save his energy. But this is the playoffs, and in the playoffs, everyone on the Mavericks is reckless!

The severely disturbed Butler's shot rhythm was a little messy, and Paul's wonderful pass still failed to convert into a score. Haywood fought against Jordan's huge pressure and desperately protected the rebound, and the Clippers' offense failed again!

Without hesitation, Heywood handed the ball directly to Yiyang. Yiyang raised his left hand and yelled as he passed halftime.

"Block one, block one!"

Since Kidd taught him the last time, Yiyang shouted more and more frequently on the court. Hearing Yiyang's order, Nowitzki set up a pick-and-roll for Yiyang near the midfield line.

The purpose of this pick-and-roll is very simple, to create dislocations!

Paul was blocked in this way and temporarily lost his defensive position. Yiyang was about to speed up, but Griffin moved in front of Yiyang.

The fans stood up and cheered, and the matchup they hoped to see finally appeared.

"Dirk's pick-and-roll gave him a chance to attack in a dislocation, and he will face Blake Griffin, an old enemy! Haha, isn't the highlight of this game coming too early?"

Griffin opened his arms, his eyes full of murderous intent. He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and today, he will personally kill this annoying guy Yiyang on the defensive end!

Yiyang was not in a hurry to attack Griffin's defense line with speed, because he knew that once he had physical contact with the strong Griffin, the gain would outweigh the loss, and he was bound to fall into a hard fight.

Therefore, Yiyang's plan is to get rid of Griffin while avoiding contact with Griffin as much as possible.

So, Yiyang started to walk to the right with the ball, and suddenly accelerated halfway.

Griffin reacted promptly and immediately blocked Yiyang's breakthrough route. He is like a gate, completely separating Yiyang from the three-second zone.

But Yiyang didn't seem to be in a hurry. Seeing that the route was blocked, he continued to dribble backwards under his crotch and retreated again. Griffin was secretly proud, he thought that Yiyang was planning to give up the breakthrough when he retreated outside the three-point line again.

However, when Yiyang dribbled the ball back, he who was observing his teammates suddenly knocked the ball to the ground! The basketball passed through Griffin's crotch, and at the same time Yiyang quickly walked around Griffin, passing through the crotch!

"God, what did he do!?"

"I also passed Griffin through the crotch!"

Griffin hurriedly turned around, but Yiyang had already received the basketball that was knocked out by him and went straight to the penalty area. At this time, it will be very difficult for Griffin to catch up with Yiyang.

DeAndre Jordan mooted his energy, ready to compete with Yiyang in the air. However, Yiyang is not stupid enough to confront Little Jordan head-on. The moment he stepped into the edge of the three-second zone, he threw the shot, and the basketball crossed the barrier of Jordan and fell straight into the net.

At that moment, the entire American Airlines Center Arena was boiling. Everyone raised their arms and cheered vigorously. The fans in front of the TV even felt that the camera was trembling.

Under the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, Yiyang put his index finger on his lips and made a "shh" gesture to Griffin.

You talk too much, you stupid big man, and at one moment, you want to completely defeat Yiyang, and at another moment, it is the Mavericks who have never defeated the Clippers... After all, Yiyang feels like he has ears Calloused. From now on, shut up! Then, watch me act!
