One Guard

On February 18, the NBA All-Star Weekend came to an end. The Western Team eventually won the game, and Chris Paul also won the All-Star Game MVP trophy for the first time.

But at this time, a bland All-Star Game MVP can no longer stimulate the fans' nerves. Everyone hopes that the regular season can restart as soon as possible. The final ownership of the regular season MVP is the answer that fans are eager to know.

The day after the All-Star Game, the Thunder, Heat, Lakers and Mavericks all had games. At Atlanta's Phillips Arena, "Little Emperor" James led the Heat to a win over the Hawks with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, solidifying his position as the number one MVP candidate.

On the other side, the Celtics and Lakers, the two oldest feuds in NBA history, meet on a narrow road. Kobe Bryant scored 38 points and 12 rebounds in the game. The Lakers won a hard-won victory. It seems that another guy wants to join the competition for the MVP award.

The Oklahoma City Thunder unfortunately lost at the Toyota Center in Houston. James Harden, who was "sold" by the team, completed his revenge against his old club with exaggerated statistics of 46 points and 7 assists.

After joining the Rockets, James Harden has become more and more like a superstar. He once could only appear as the sixth man in the Thunder, but now he has defeated Westbrook and Durant. Although Durant only scored 16 points in this game, he also scored 11 rebounds and 10 assists. With a triple-double, Durant did his best. This guy has been chasing behind Yiyang and seems to be able to overtake him at any time.

As for the Mavericks, in the home game against the Magic, Nowitzki made only 4 of 13 shots. A measly 12 points was the German's entire contribution today. In the past, after reading Nowitzki's data, you could probably guess the Mavericks' ending today. But now, Nowitzki is no longer the only criterion for judging whether the Mavericks win or lose.

"The 36th point! God, both Jameer Nelson and Aaron Afflalo couldn't stop and complete the breakthrough. This guy's scoring ability is so explosive! Poor Orlando Magic, they didn't When I met Dirk, who was a killer, he met another even more terrifying beast! The Magic fell behind by 12 points in the last minute. The game was over, and the Dallas Mavericks won their fourth consecutive victory!"

With 36 points, 8 assists, 2 steals and 5 rebounds, the break during the All-Star Game did not cool down Yiyang's form. If Nowitzki's shooting percentage was not too low today, Yiyang would definitely be able to get another 30+10 double-double.

But so what? Yiyang's performance is outstanding enough. The second position in the mVP candidate rankings has been consolidated by Yiyang!

In the following days, competition between several teams and several top players remained fierce. The Heat and Thunder had consecutive wins,

Kobe also performed like a child again for the playoffs.

On February 24, the Los Angeles Lakers will play against the Mavericks in Dallas. This game was selected as a national live broadcast by many TV stations. The battle between Kobe and Yiyang may even affect the ranking of the MVP rankings.

With Gasol missing due to injury, Howard and Nash have been unable to regain their form. Kobe turned on the scoring mode and defeated Mayo and Carter in a nearly crushing way, scoring 38 points!

Using the word "rejuvenating" to describe Kobe's performance after the All-Star Game is simply perfect. During this game, Yiyang thought he had traveled through time. He was not in 2013, but in 2005, the night when Kobe Bryant scored 62 points in front of the Mavericks.

Although there is still a big gap between 38 points and 62 points, Yiyang was deeply impressed by Kobe's near-perfect performance. This may be the most brutal "Black Mamba" he has seen since he and Kobe have known each other for so long!

It wasn't until the end of the game, when the Lakers narrowly defeated the Mavericks with a 4-point lead, that Kobe's frown finally relaxed.

"I'm sorry, buddy, I have to win today's game." Only when the outcome of the game was determined, Kobe finally spoke to Yiyang calmly. Kobe, this guy, may have a stronger desire to win than Yiyang.

Although the Mavericks lost, Yiyang's statistics of 32 points and 12 assists were not much worse than Kobe's. With this game, Kobe broke into the fifth position in the MVP rankings and became the character who suddenly emerged in the last two months. With his outstanding performance of 30+10, Yiyang still beat Durant and firmly ranked second in the rankings.

It seems that half a month has passed since the All-Star Game, but the competition for MVP is still fierce. Now, another rejuvenated Kobe emerges. This season is destined to be quite bloody.

After losing to the Lakers, the Mavericks quickly defeated the Bucks, who were hovering on the edge of the top eight in the Eastern Conference, to avoid a losing streak. At this point, the Mavericks only have one game left to play in February. Yiyang marked a big red circle on that day in the calendar, as if he had been paying attention to this opponent for a long time. This means that this game is of great significance to Yiyang.

February 28, the last day of February 2013. The Dallas Mavericks will travel to Boston to face the Celtics, who have struggled very much this season.

There is actually no relationship between Yiyang and the Celtics, and the Celtics are not a direct competitor of the Mavericks this year. Logically speaking, this game should be nothing special.

But in Yiyang's heart, he must not take this game lightly. Because that guy will never show mercy!

Jett, how are you doing in Boston...

On the backboard, the timer numbers were beating crazily. There are 24 seconds left in the game, the last 24 seconds. It is very simple to use 24 seconds to decide whether an attack is successful, but it is completely different to use 24 seconds to decide the outcome of a game.

Terry looked at Rivers' gesture while controlling the ball. On this shot, he seemed to want Pierce to take the final shot. Ever since Ray Allen left for Miami, the Celtics have been lacking a qualified big-hearted player.

Pierce and Garnett are certainly excellent, but time has greatly reduced their lethality.

If it were the Mavericks, Carlisle would probably leave this ball to Yiyang!

Terry shook his head vigorously to get those messy things out of his mind. Now is the most critical moment of this game. Now is not the time to think about the Dallas Mavericks!

According to Rivers' arrangement, Terry sent the ball to "Truth" after Pierce came out of Garnett's off-ball pick-and-roll. But it is obvious that the willpower of Yiyang's college friend Hayward exceeds Pierce's imagination.

As soon as he caught the basketball, Hayward pounced on him and completely killed his chance!

"Gordon's defense was very good. He didn't give Pierce any chance. Time is running out. How will Pierce deal with it!?"

35 years old, averaging 18.6 points per game. Judging by the standards of this age, Pierce is simply an offensive killer. But even Pierce himself has to admit that it is not easy for him to average 18 points per game now.

Speed, at the age of 35, Pierce has lost his speed. Faced with Hayward's pressing, Pierce could not get shooting space, and in fact lost his best scoring method.

The legendary small forward No. 34 hesitated for a while, and finally, he chose to turn around and hand the ball to Terry to reorganize.

"No. 2, No. 2, play No. 2!" Seeing this, Rivers shouted loudly to Terry with his duck voice on the sidelines. The so-called No. 2 tactic is a set of shooting tactics specially set for Courtney Lee.

Courtney Lee is an excellent sidekick, although he cannot compare with Pierce in terms of historical status and personal data. But when it comes to finishing ability at critical moments, Courtney Lee definitely does not fall behind.

But the Jazz seemed to have long expected that Courtney Lee was a potential scoring point. They defended Courtney Lee very tightly. After two off-ball pick-and-rolls, Courtney Lee still did not escape. Chance.

At this point, the 24 seconds of attack time are running out. The Jazz's tight defense seems to have declared the Celtics' failure!

"There are 7 seconds left. As long as they defend for 7 more seconds, the Jazz will drag the game into overtime! Coach Rivers' arrangement is a bit too rigid. Tyler Corbin can easily guess his arrangement! "Reggie Miller shook his head. Maybe Rivers is no longer suitable to coach this traditional giant. Stevens, who has been constantly rumored to be with the team recently, might give it a try.

Standing between the center circle and the three-point line, Terry began to advance with the ball. Garnett was asking for the ball, Pierce was asking for the ball, Lee was asking for the ball, and even Bass was asking for the ball. But Terry knew that none of them had a chance. Overtime cannot be played. If it is played in overtime, the team will not be able to defeat the younger Jazz.

Terry slowly walked one step beyond the three-point line. Under the gaze of Jazz point guard Randy Foye, this "old boy" wearing a headband and stockings pulled up and shot!

"Jason Terry, he chose to shoot directly! This is impossible...the ball went in! The ball went in! The game is over, Jeter's three-pointer killed the game! Hahahaha, Jiang is still old Hot, jets can fly freely over Boston!"

At that moment, the entire North Shore Garden burst into flames. Terry stood there with his arms raised, enjoying his own moment of glory and the admiration and cheers of the 12,000 fans at the scene. Garnett, Pierce and everyone else came at Terry, surrounding the veteran guard who averaged just 10.1 points per game this season.

Terry was in the middle of the crowd, still not lowering his raised arms. His nose felt sore. How long had it been since he had experienced this kind of moment?

Are you looking? Brat. I'm in Boston, waiting for you!
