One Guard

Chapter 428: Dazzling Light

The neckline of Yiyang's jersey was soaked with sweat, his chest heaved violently, and his wet skin looked like an unlucky guy who had just been hit by heavy rain.

Kidd, who was recuperating at home, stared at the TV screen nervously. The game will end with 53.9 seconds left, and the Mavericks are still 1 point behind. Before that, Yiyang had missed 3 shots in a row. The influence of physical fitness on Yiyang has surfaced, and no one knows whether Yiyang will be able to stabilize the situation at the last critical moment.

"Today was probably Westbrook's best game against Yi. He scored 28 points on 56% shooting, and only 1 of those 28 points came from free throws. Westbrook finally Gained the upper hand once, and this season he is simply impeccable!" ESPN and TNT TV have already selected Westbrook as the best player of the game in advance. In their view, it is very difficult for the Mavericks to come back.

The difference of 1 point is indeed not big, but whether this 1 point is good or not depends on the situation.

Today, Westbrook is actively looking for physical confrontation, whether on the offensive or defensive end. Undoubtedly, this is also one of the reasons why Yiyang's physical energy is rapidly depleted. Westbrook's strategy has paid off. As Yiyang's physical fitness continues to decline, Westbrook is playing more and more smoothly.

At this moment, the ESPN cameraman took a close-up of Yiyang on the bench. This guy's exhausted appearance really worried the fans of the Mavericks.

"Well, after the timeout is over, Dirk, you try it in the middle and short distances. If it doesn't work, then pull out to the Yidan. Listen, don't take all the pressure on yourself. We just need to score another goal , Another damn goal, the pressure will all fall on the Thunder!" Carlisle said while pointing a finger.

He was still a little worried about Yiyang's stability, so Carlisle decided to try Dirk first. Although Dirk Nowitzki's performance in the regular season was not satisfactory, he has been brave since entering the playoffs. He has scored 25 points today. Although his shooting percentage is mediocre, he is still reliable at critical moments.

Yiyang has no objection to Carlisle's arrangement, he is not the kind of person who wants to fight for the boss in everything. As long as it can help the team win, it doesn't matter whoever makes the key shots.

Calle had just drawn the tactics on the tactical board when the timeout ended. He hurriedly explained a few more words, and the players slowly entered the field.

At this time, Carlisle replaced Carter and let Terry, a guard with stronger offensive firepower, partner with Yiyang. Terry is in good form today, and he has scored 17 points so far.

Terry's playing undoubtedly made the Thunder's defense very difficult. Although Yiyang missed three consecutive shots, even if this kind of guy can't make a goal in the whole game, you dare not let him have half a point. Terry feels hot today, you can't be sure that Carlisle won't use him to make key shots. Not to mention Nowitzki, the German has always been a big killer at critical moments. The Mavericks have a total of three potential offensive points on the field, which undoubtedly brings great difficulty to the Thunder's defense.

The game restarted with the Mavericks on offense. On the backboard, the numbers on the timer began to jump. Yiyang is not in a hurry, this is not the first time he has experienced a desperate moment. From the NCAA to his second professional season now, Yiyang has long been used to seeing big scenes!

After Yiyang controlled the ball for halftime, Westbrook, who was playing excitedly, immediately entangled him. This guy used his strong body to constantly put pressure on Yiyang, and it was already very difficult for Yiyang to dribble steadily.

At this time, Terry suddenly ran back from the mid-range position and went outside the three-point line. "Swiss Army Knife" Sefolosha was delayed by Haywood's off-ball pick-and-roll, and Terry got a fleeting shot!

"Stop him! Stop him!" Thunder coach Scott Brooks shouted nervously from the sidelines. Yiyang quickly threw the ball, and Terry caught it firmly!

But Sefoloza has always been a defensive defender on the perimeter. Although he was delayed by off-ball pick-and-rolls,

But he still rushed to Terry with his strong willpower.

When Terry received the basketball and turned to face the basket to shoot, the ferocious Swiss had already made up for it.

No chance, Terry did not choose to force his shot, but continued to observe the situation.

At the same time, Yiyang has opened a little distance from Westbrook by running without the ball. The Thunder team's defensive focus instantly shifted to Yiyang again. This guy's interspersed moves are often very deadly!

Yiyang's running took away the Thunder's defensive attention. Taking advantage of this moment, Terry lobbed the ball high into the penalty area. The real end point of the Mavericks is Nowitzki!

Dirk received the basketball, and it was not easy to single out Ibaka, a strong man. But don't forget, Nowitzki has scored 25 points on Ibaka today. It is also not easy for Ibaka to guard against the Germans.

Nowitzki took a step back with the ball, but Ibaka was like a mountain, unmoved at all. But the real purpose of Dirk's recoil is not to advance, but to confuse the opponent.

After a push back, Nowitzki stepped back and turned around for a jumper. The German is still very confident in the turnaround jump shot near the three-second zone. Even if Ibaka can jump well, it is difficult for him to block the shot directly on the head of Nowitzki, who has a high shot point.

Just when Nowitzki turned around and was about to lift the basketball, Durant, the "long-handed monster", suddenly rushed over and cut off the ball in Nowitzki's hand.

Nowitzki looked at Durant in astonishment, when did this guy rush over! ?

In fact, Brooks has already arranged a strategy to defend Nowitzki. This sudden double-teaming of Durant was not accidental, but premeditated for a long time.

Seeing this situation, Yiyang hurriedly turned around and ran back, quickly returning to defense. Durant strode forward, taking one step as someone else's two, and launched a fast break by himself!

Although Yiyang's defense is very fast, but he is only 1.93 meters tall, it seems that there is no way to stop Durant, who is as tall as an inside player.

Yiyang had no choice but to grit his teeth. When Durant was about to approach him, his feet were steady and his hands covered his crotch. He wanted to use his body to make Durant an offensive foul!

Durant didn't expect Yiyang to make such a move suddenly, and he slammed into it before he had time to brake.

Durant's impact was very strong, Yiyang only felt his eyes go dark, and he was knocked back. And what about Durant? After knocking down Yiyang, he still used the advantage of his arm length to throw the ball into the frame. As the fans at Chesapeake Energy Arena cheered, the referee blew his whistle.

"Offensive foul, the goal is invalid!" The referee crossed his hands and vetoed Durant's key goal.

Durant didn't complain, he knew it was indeed an offensive foul just now. If the referee doesn't blow it, it's fine, and if he blows, he has nothing to refute.

But the fans of the Thunder were not happy. Seeing that it was an opportunity to kill the game, the referee rejected it. Huge boos immediately came from the scene, and it was unknown whether they were booing Yiyang or the referee.

"Steady! Stabilize! Seriously defend, don't give them any gaps!" Brooks became more and more nervous, both sides' offenses were unsuccessful, and the 1-point advantage remained, but time was running out. Now no matter who scores another goal on both sides, it will be a fatal goal!

The Mavericks reorganized with 30 seconds left in the game. Both sides have an attack opportunity each, and these two attacks are also the most important two attacks in this game.

Out of breath, Yiyang gesticulated to call on his teammates to take their seats quickly. Just now, Yiyang was hit hard enough by Durant.

After halftime, Yiyang quickly handed over the ball and did not get entangled with Westbrook. As Kidd told you, you can't force yourself to play against an opponent like Westbrook, you can only defeat him in other ways.

Yiyang's running position is still very active, even though he is already sweating profusely, he has never given up.

Terry passed the ball to Dirk again, but Durant's double-team was quickly brought up. Nowitzki, who kept his eyes open, was not intercepted again, but he also lost his shooting opportunity. You know, no matter how high Durant's height raises his arms, his height is no shorter than a real inside player. Nowitzki was naturally unable to shoot under the interference of the two gibbons of Ibaka and Durant.

He had no choice but to distribute the ball to Marion who was temporarily free. But Durant's return to defense was very quick, and he didn't give Marion a chance to shoot at all!

"The Thunder's defense is too tight! The Mavericks have no chance!" Barkley shook his head. Last year, Nowitzki and Yiyang could turn the Thunder's three-second zone upside down. But this year, it is obviously a lot more difficult.

Yiyang is getting stronger, and this group of young people in the Thunder team is also getting stronger. As for Nowitzki, it is slowly regressing.

The ball passed several times, but there was still no chance. In the last 3 seconds of the 24-second attack time, Terry bit the bullet and shot from outside the three-point line. But Sefrosa's timely interference made Terry's shot completely off target.

After the basketball hit the left side of the basket, the electronic buzzer also sounded. The 24-second attack time belonging to the Mavericks is over, and they have no goals!

"Terry missed a three-pointer, are the Mavericks going to swallow the defeat!?" Barkley clenched his fists and stood up, he could no longer sit comfortably on the commentary booth.

There are still 6 seconds in the game time. After grabbing the rebound, Brooks will stop the game immediately! At that time, the Mavericks will definitely use slashing tactics, so he will replace everyone who can make free throws! Everything is under control, victory is at your fingertips!

Perkins jumped high, ready to pocket the rebound. But Haywood refused to give an inch. He and Perkins took off almost at the same time and jumped to the same height. Their big hands touched the basketball at the same time.

However, the basketball was not caught by any of them, but was pointed out by two strong men!

"The Thunder didn't protect the rebound on the first shot! This is the opportunity for the Mavericks!" Barkley stood up suddenly, time was running out!

The basketball is flying out of the three-point line, and Sefoloza has stuck Terry, ready to take the ball at any time. As long as you grab the pointed basketball, you'll grab the victory!

With both legs full of strength, the "Swiss Army Knife" jumped towards the basketball. But just as my body was halfway up, a black shadow suddenly jumped out, separating me from the basketball!

"Also! Also actively rushed to grab the pointed basketball before Sefoloza! After he landed, he directly rushed to the penalty area. Durant and Perkins came to defend!"

Durant and Perkins, two tall and strong men are like two mountains in front of him. Yiyang didn't even have time to look at the numbers on the timer on the backboard, he only knew that if he didn't make a shot, he would lose!

Taking off lightly, Yiyang couldn't even see the basket under the blockade of Durant and Perkins. He tossed the ball softly, and then he collided with Durant in the air. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Yiyang lying on the ground saw the basketball pass over Ibaka's fingertips, and after that, he couldn't see anything.

"Beep~~~~~" A huge electronic buzzer resounded throughout the audience, and the red light on the backboard suddenly lit up.

Yiyang saw players from the Mavericks celebrating, and also players from the Thunder celebrating. He saw Carlisle yelling at the referee, and he saw Brooks anxiously gesticulating at the referee.

Did that goal go in? Yiyang didn't know. He was lying on the cold floor with halos in front of his eyes.

Jason, I did my best. I don't know if this gift can be successfully delivered to you...
