One Guard

Chapter 468: Personal performance

Yiyang suddenly went berserk, catching Popovich, an experienced coach, off guard. As we all know, Yiyang has always been a "pass first" style point guard. He rarely lets go to score, and even if he does, his scoring data will not be exaggerated. This guy is a team player at heart.

But today, less than half of the first quarter, Yiyang had already scored the Mavericks' first 10 points. And so far, Yiyang has not missed a single goal, hitting every shot!

Popovich, who plays it safe, knows this is a dangerous sign. If he still wants to give the fans a Christmas gift, then what he should do now is not to cut off the connection between Yiyang and his teammates, but directly cut off the connection between Yiyang and the basket!

"Actively help defend, shrink as soon as he breaks through! Squeeze his offensive space as much as possible, and make physical contact with him as much as possible!" Popovich anxiously arranged tactics off the court. If he does not suppress this momentum, , Yiyang, who has always been known for his stability, may play even crazier.

"Where are the others?" Parker couldn't help but ask when he saw Popovich put almost all his defensive forces on Yiyang.

"Others? If the Mavericks could win the game with everyone else, their record wouldn't have fluctuated so much! Remember, he is also the number one threat! In order to contain him, anyone can be ignored!"

If Yiyang knew that he made Popovich so nervous, he would definitely be proud of it. But the Chinese defender was not thinking about anything else except scoring and winning.

After the timeout, with Duncan's turnaround jumper, the Spurs finally broke their scoring drought and temporarily stabilized the situation. It can be seen that Nowitzki is not in good condition on the court. His movements were a little sluggish, as if his body hadn't warmed up yet. While for others, the new season has been a long time coming. But for Nowitzki, today is his season opener.

Seeing Dirk in such a state, Barkley was both worried and looking forward to it. He was worried because Nowitzki struggled very hard when facing Duncan today, and the German seemed not ready. The reason why he is looking forward to it is because if Nowitzki is in average condition, Yiyang will get more shots. No one can predict what the game will be like by then.

Duncan's goal allowed the Spurs to finally stop the bleeding, but this was only a temporary solution, not the root cause. If the Spurs want to take the lead, the most important thing they need to do is defend Yiyang!

"In this attack, the Mavericks still have Yilai in charge of the ball. We saw that Coach Carlisle replaced Carter in advance, with the purpose of strengthening the defense. Of course, this also means that Coach Carlisle gave full control of the offense to Yilai!"

Yiyang did not shirk his responsibility. His first priority now is not to connect the team, but to score! But at the same time, Yiyang also discovered the changes in the Spurs' defensive position. Their position was closer to the basket, and it would be much more difficult for him to break through. That old man Popovich should have made adjustments just now.

So, Yiyang passed the ball. The opponents are changing, and Yiyang's strategy must also change. He handed the ball to Marion and then ran through it himself!

Yiyang passes the ball not because he wants to put the burden of scoring on others, but because he hopes to get better opportunities by running without the ball.

Parker chased after Yiyang, and the "French sports car" and Yiyang staged an NBA version of speed and passion.

"Tony followed really closely and had no way of getting rid of the defense. The effect of the Spurs' timeout was very obvious. Coach Popovich's on-the-spot dispatching ability is indeed worthy of praise."

There are 10 seconds left in the 24-second attack time, and Yiyang has not even received the ball so far. Popovich was sweating profusely and stood on the sidelines with his fists clenched. Will the defense be successful this time? Why did these ten damn seconds pass so slowly!

With no way to get rid of it, Yiyang had no choice but to come out from outside the three-point line to respond.

Marion immediately took the ball, and with only 7 seconds left in the attack time, Yiyang regained the right to take action! In the end, he was able to compete with Parker and the Spurs' defensive system in the simplest and most crude way.

"The Spurs defended very well in this round and had to return to the three-point line to start a single. But now, there are only 7 seconds left for him!"

Di Yiyang, who was holding the ball with both hands at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, didn't make any unnecessary movements. He knocked the ball directly in front of him and drove it towards Parker's left side. At the same time, the other defensive players of the Spurs also moved accordingly, and the entire defense was carefully designed for Yiyang!

Just when Yiyang was about to pass through Parker's defense, Yiyang suddenly dodged, changed hands in front of his body, and disappeared from Parker's eyes with a "whoosh".

"This...how is this possible!?" Parker's eyes widened. When Yiyang just changed direction, he didn't seem to slow down at all!

"Oh my god, Yi did not slow down and let him complete the overtaking! He took off and attacked the frame! Split was already waiting at the basket, and he tried his best to block it!"

The Brazilian center's defense was indeed very active and put a lot of pressure on Yiyang. But even Popovich has to admit that Split is not a very good rim protector.

In the air, Yiyang turned sideways, brushed against Split and successfully evaded the defense. After dodging the Brazilian's block, Duncan oriole was behind and came to block it. But unfortunately, an old guy like Duncan who likes to "stand still" and block shots failed to touch the basketball in Yiyang's hand. Instead, he was called for a foul because he knocked Yiyang down.

"For a defensive foul, Yi Yang will get another free throw opportunity! After returning from the timeout, the Spurs did not contain Yi Yang's scoring pace!" Barkley was already stunned by Yi Yang's crazy performance, and the San Antonio fans were all stunned one by one. Put your head in your hands. This Chinese actually scored 12 points in a row under the Spurs' defense. What a joke! ?

Yiyang was not joking. After standing on the free throw line, the Spurs fans used their loudest boos to interfere with Yiyang's free throw. But what is disappointing is that Yiyang still made two free throws, and the Spurs continued to fall behind! This Chinese defender is like an ice sculpture. Everything around him has no impact on the cold.

"Yi's crazy scoring pace continues. After returning from the timeout, the Spurs' defense still didn't cause him any trouble! Yi has already scored 12 points in a single quarter. Shaq, do you think his performance tonight will continue until the end? ?"

O'Neal looked at Barkley. He didn't want to reach an agreement with this guy. "Twelve points in a single quarter is great, but today the Mavericks' opponent is the San Antonio Spurs. The longer the game goes on, the more targeted arrangements the Spurs will make."

"You were once a superstar, Shaq. You should know very well that some players cannot be restricted at all." Barkley smiled, knowing that O'Neal was deliberately going against him for the sake of face. Start your show, Yiyang, let those guys who think the Spurs are sure to win see who is the boss!

On the court, Parker handed the ball to Danny Green just after halftime. The reason is very simple, the "French little sports car" doesn't want to tangle with Yiyang. If you stay entangled with this Chinese for a second, the danger will increase.

The Frenchman's pass did not change the Spurs' offensive difficulties. Danny Green was not facing Mayo who was still thinking about where to go to have fun at night, but the old Carter who was fully focused and wanted to swallow him whole.

Green himself is the kind of player who is good at catching and shooting. Now that he is closely followed by Carter, he has also lost his best offensive opportunity.

At this moment, Duncan reached the edge of the three-second zone and leaned on Nowitzki to reach for the ball. Danny Green didn't think twice and used a lob pass to hit the opportunity inside.

Duncan opened his big hands and grabbed the ball like a suction cup. After that, "Stone Buddha" turned around and planned to break through the basket!

Nowitzki's knee has just recovered and his retreat speed is not fast. And this is why Duncan chose to turn around and break through.

But as soon as the expressionless No. 21 turned around, he ran into the equally expressionless No. 1 Dallas.

"Hold."

Duncan cursed secretly in his mind. Then the basketball in his hand was taken away by Yiyang. Facing Yiyang's sudden steal, Duncan had no time to react. The only thing he could react to was to curse the word "fuck" in his heart.

"Also, his steal was very fast. One second this guy was following Parker, and the next second, he was in front of Duncan!"

After Yiyang stole the ball, he quickly advanced. Most of the Spurs were left behind by Yiyang. Only the Spurs' second-year freshman Kawhi Leonard followed closely behind and still seemed unwilling to give up.

Leonard's outstanding performance on the defensive end has allowed him to secure his position as the Spurs' starting small forward. Popovich likes players who can defend well, so Leonard, who is not high in the draft, is also highly valued by the Spurs. .

Yiyang didn't know much about Leonard, but his exaggerated wingspan visible to the naked eye still made Yiyang fearful. If this guy wants to block shots, he can spread a big net all over the penalty area.

Yiyang hatched a plan and continued to speed up. When he took one step within the three-second zone, Yiyang jumped up suddenly. Not to be outdone, Leonard jumped up after Yiyang.

The two young men rose in the air, and their height above the ground was so exaggerated that all the fans forgot to breathe.

Yiyang raised the basketball with his left hand, as if he wanted to dunk it directly. Leonard's jumping is not bad, and coupled with his more advantageous height and wingspan, his big hands are only a hair away from the basketball!

Just when the block was about to be formed, Yiyang suddenly lowered his raised left hand, causing Leonard to miss. In the air, Yiyang's body continued to glide. After taking the basketball off, he successfully switched it to his right hand, then raised the ball again and dunked it hard against the frame!

"Boom!" There was a loud noise from the basket, and Popovich was shaken and broke into a cold sweat.

"Switching hands in the air for a dunk! He also used an extremely wonderful way to avoid Leonard's desperate pursuit! Haha, last year's dunk contest champion combined fancy moves with practicality. So beautiful , Yi’s fast attack is always unstoppable!”

If the game had been played at the American Airlines Center Arena at this time, the scene would have exploded. Unfortunately, the venue for this game is San Antonio. Yiyang's dunk just now caused the entire arena to suddenly become silent. The cheerful Christmas atmosphere that was still strong before the game disappeared without a trace at this moment.

It wasn't until the 9th minute of the first quarter that Yiyang once again pierced the Spurs' heart with a three-pointer. The photographer deliberately showed the camera to Popovich. Popovich opened his mouth wide and exposed A rare expression of surprise.

"With 23 points in a single quarter, Yi used his personal ability to tear the Spurs' defense to pieces! It is worth mentioning that so far, Yi's shooting rate is still 100%!" Barkley looked at Yi Yang's data, his hands were trembling slightly. 23 points in a single quarter, what did I just witness! ?

There is no O.J. Mayo, who was a killer at the beginning of the season, and there is no Dirk Nowitzki, who has just returned from injury in excellent form, but as long as Yiyang is still there, the Dallas Mavericks always seem to be full of hope... This Chinese guard In order to win, he will do anything crazy.

San Antonio is beautiful during Christmas, but it's a pity that Yiyang will crush this beautiful city with his own hands tonight!
