One Guard

The fans of the Dallas Mavericks have been living in fear recently. Maybe it was too smooth in the first round against the Clippers, or maybe the strength shown by the Thunder was too terrifying. In short, when the game is about to come to Dallas, fans feel a lot of hope, but the danger that is spreading.

"They are too strong, they have the youngest scoring champion. And we, we only have a group of veterans who are not as brave as they used to be."

"Hey, I played too hard. Without Kidd, the Mavericks didn't have a guard on the bench. I played another 45 minutes yesterday, and I couldn't bear to change anyone."

"The more the game is dragged to the end, the more unfavorable it is for us. Our lineup is relatively older, and our physical fitness is not as good as others. So you see, the Thunder won the game yesterday by relying on their last-minute performance."

In Dallas, family and friends always talk about the playoffs after they meet. It's just that the content of their chats is mostly negative. This year, even the Dallas fans themselves seem to be getting discouraged.

The truth is, the Thunder are a stronger team. But Yiyang doesn't think he will definitely lose. From the beginning of college to now, he has been doing the same thing - the challenge is stronger!

"Do you need me to accompany you? The pressure must be quite high recently." Vignelli, who is far away in Italy, looked at the negative news about the Mavericks and couldn't help feeling a little worried. She is also a professional player herself, and she knows how much outside public opinion can affect a player.

"It's fine for you to watch the game, but I may not have much time to accompany you." Yiyang told the truth that during last year's playoffs, Yiyang and Vignali still had time to hang out. But this year, when the situation is so critical, Yiyang is really not in that mood.

"It's okay, I'll go cheer for you. I haven't repaid you well for what you did for me in the All-Star Game." Vignali's voice suddenly became full of passion, no matter how dull Yiyang is. , I also understand what "repay" means.

"By the way, I bought you a lucky bracelet a few days ago. You wear it before the game. It will definitely bring you good luck."

"wristband?"

"It's traditionally hand-woven in Italy. Others can't find a place to buy it!" Vignali proudly showed off. "My teammate bought one for herself before, and she recovered immediately in the second half of the season. Believe me, it will definitely work!"

Yiyang never believed in fate, nor did she believe in luck. But he knew that this was Vignali's wish, so Yiyang was still very happy.

"Thank you, Vignelli."

"Do not,

You shouldn't have said that! "Vignali called out on the other end of the phone, and then gave a smirk.

"Then what should I say?"

"You should say, thank you, dear." After speaking, a girl's laughter came from the receiver.

Yi Yang blushed slightly, he looked around and made sure no one was around. "Uh...thank...thank you, honey...."

"God, what did you just say!?" Terry just walked into the locker room, and the words of dear just caught Terry's ears.

Yiyang's face immediately changed from rosy to pale, like a thief caught by the police.

"Damn it, Jeter! You didn't hear anything!"

"Hahahahaha, yes, yes, yes, I didn't hear anything." In the locker room of the American Airlines Center arena, there was finally a long-lost laughter...

※※※

After talking with Vignali on the phone, the backlog of negative emotions in Yiyang's heart was indeed relieved a lot. That's the good thing about being with that girl, she seems to let you relax at any time, let go of all your guards, let go of all your baggage. Even if he is not around, even a phone call can make Yiyang feel much happier.

Of course, Terry was the happiest. He caught Yiyang's "handle", and after today's training, he "caught" a pair of Yiyang's sneakers and gave them to his relatives' children.

Before leaving, Terry did not forget to shout at Yiyang in the underground parking lot. "Thank you dear Vignelli for me, hahahahaha!"

Seeing Terry's extremely proud expression, Yiyang could only admit that he was unlucky. Although this old boy is "hateful", without him in the locker room, he must lose a lot of joy.

Although the mood is relaxed, the difficulties that should be faced must still be faced. Yiyang also got into the car, and had to sleep well after returning home today. Tomorrow's third game at the American Airlines Center Arena, I must defend the home court!

The time of joy and relaxation is always very short. On May 13, the flames of the playoffs continued to spread.

The fight in the second round of the playoffs was obviously much more brutal than the first round. In the East, the Heat and the Pacers were inextricably linked. The Pacers, who were not optimistic, seemed to have the momentum to overthrow the Big Three. The Celtics, who are as old as the Mavericks, are struggling against the 76ers. In the West, the matchup between the Lakers and the Spurs is naturally needless to say. When the two powerhouses meet, they are bound to fight to the death. And the series between the Thunder and the Mavericks has entered a heated stage from the very beginning!

Today is the third matchup between the two sides, and it is also the first time that the Western Conference semifinals have come to Dallas this season. Although the fans were a little worried, they were still enthusiastic. In the American Airlines Center Arena, which can accommodate nearly 20,000 people, everyone, no matter they are familiar or unfamiliar, shouted together and beat the drums of the Dallas people.

In today's game, Yiyang continued his excellent form. Last year, Nowitzki led Yiyang to kill the Quartet, but this year, it was Yiyang who led a group of old guys to move forward without giving up.

After being bruised and swollen by Yiyang's sharp breakthrough in the last game, Brooks asked Westbrook to focus on defending Yiyang's breakthrough today.

Yiyang lived up to expectations, and "thanks" Brooks for his kindness with two three-pointers at the beginning of the game.

"If there are still people who think that Yi's three-pointers are not a threat, then he is killing himself! This season, Yi's three-pointers are as high as 41.3%, which is not a number that can be ignored! I admit, Last season's performance outside the three-point line was indeed unqualified, but that is old. Our invincible Shaq was still watching the drinking fountains on the sidelines last year. This year, it has changed a lot until I sit down to comment on the game Look." While interpreting Yiyang's three-pointer, Barkley didn't forget to complain about O'Neal.

Yiyang's two consecutive three-pointers were just the first appearance of his fiery touch today. After the game, the Mavericks will lose all their status at home. Dirk Nowitzki, the most reliable scoring point outside of Yiyang, has repeatedly missed shots today, and Terry's nerve knife is even more serious.

In order to make up for Nowitzki's poor state, Carlisle even increased Yi Jianlian's playing time today. Yi Jianlian did score a few mid-range shots, but on the stage of the playoffs, Yi Jianlian's role is still too small.

The Mavericks are already stretched thin, and the disadvantages of their lineup are undoubtedly revealed. But Yiyang has been using his outstanding performance to keep the Mavericks in the lead.

Shooting, Yiyang changed his previous style today, using the shooting handle to play for Westbrook without temper.

12 of 15, Yiyang used an incredible shooting percentage to lead the poor Mavericks to a narrow victory over the Thunder by 4 points.

Returning to the locker room after the game, Yiyang didn't even have the energy to take a shower. He slumped in front of his cabinet and panted for a long time before he recovered.

Carlisle was heartbroken, he knew very well that Yiyang's physical strength had been drained. Not just this one, every game after that will be affected!

With 31 points, 13 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, Yiyang once again played perfect statistics in the playoffs. His name has been completely established in the league. In the past, people only regarded Yiyang as Nowitzki's follower. But now, everyone knows that he is the real owner of Dallas!

The playoffs are a stage where people can quickly become famous, and Yiyang is undoubtedly one of the fastest risers. But this didn't make Yiyang much happier, because the team is still not out of danger.

In the next two games, the players not only had to continue the high-intensity confrontation, but also had to run back and forth between Dallas and Oklahoma. This is nothing to the Thunder, but it is a fatal blow to the aging Mavericks and Yiyang who is physically weak.

In the fourth game of the series in Dallas, Yiyang failed to defend the home court again. Durant and Westbrook scored 51 points together, and their singles tore the Mavericks' shaky defense time and time again. In the end, it was broken.

Yiyang still scored a decent 26 points, but Nowitzki's contribution of only 17 points obviously couldn't allow him to help the team win.

"Dirk is old, Dirk is really old. Although it is only a year apart, this year's Dirk is completely different from last year's Dirk!" After the game, Mike Breen could only helplessly Said such a sentence. It's not that Yiyang is not good enough, and it's not that Dirk is not good enough. But time, too merciless.

After this game, the total score of the series came to 2-2 again. Whoever wins the next game will win the key match point.

The game is back in Oklahoma, and now Yiyang even finds it difficult to finish training. But on the court, he still has to fight for forty minutes and forty minutes.

"Also, he had calf cramps after he went down for a layup! So tired, this series has been too exhausting for him. We saw him refusing to be carried off the field and opting instead to limp Stand up and get to the free-throw line!"

In the last 43 seconds of the last quarter of the fifth match between the two sides, the exhausted Yiyang suffered calf cramps after breaking through. At this moment, he seems to have experienced the unwillingness of Paul when his groin injury recurred.

He chose to stand up strong like Paul. The game is not over, I can't fall, how the hell can I fall! ?

Standing on the free throw line, Yiyang made two free throws, narrowing the point difference to only one point.

"Another desperate moment, every game in this series is too tense! The game with the biggest point difference is only 5 points! God, both sides really tried their best!"

"Judging from the lineup on paper, the strength gap between the two teams is still quite large. But it is also through my unremitting efforts and hard work that I have brought the two teams to an evenly matched level."

All the commentators were amazed by Yiyang's miraculous performance in this series, but sometimes, basketball cannot be solved by one person alone.

Yiyang stuck Westbrook to death, preventing this guy from receiving the ball. Durant had no choice but to shoot a three-pointer directly against Marion's defense. The most terrible thing is that this basketball is still in!

The moment the basketball hit the net, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena erupted. Durant's incredible performance saved Oklahoma again!

"It's amazing, it's terrifying! Durant's current strength is definitely a superstar level! Although Dirk played well today and scored 23 points. But in front of KD who is in full form, Dirk came It's useless!"

30 seconds, 4 points. Yiyang's thigh was still aching, so he didn't choose to shoot the key shot himself, but handed it to Dirk.

Dirk made a shot and the point difference was 2 points. But time is running out, and the passive Mavericks can only resort to foul tactics. Unfortunately, the Thunder made all their free throws. When Durant made the final free throw, the entire Mavericks despaired.

1.3 seconds, 5 points behind. Yiyang made a direct shot at halftime, but it didn't help if he made it or not.

The Thunder players were cheering, the Thunder fans were cheering, and the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena became a sea of ​​joy. But Yiyang and the rest of the Mavericks were miserable in this happy atmosphere.

3 to 2, the Mavericks have come to the brink. One more loss and the defending champions will be eliminated in the second round. Yiyang played his famous game in this year's playoffs, but his team is in crisis.

Do you want to accept the fate of failure? After Yiyang returned to the locker room, he punched the wooden door of the cabinet, directly punching out a big hole.

"Fucking fate!" The boy gritted his teeth unwillingly.
