One Guard

Marc Gasol's magical performance in the first quarter was not continued. To be precise, as magical as Gasol's performance in the first quarter was, his performance in the second quarter was just as bad.

Except for strikes and mistakes, Mark seems to have contributed no data. His failure also directly led to the entire paralysis of the Grizzlies offensive system. The Grizzlies themselves are not a very strong offensive team, and now they are still holding back a dominant center, which greatly reduces their scoring ability.

Fortunately, in the last three minutes of the second quarter, the superb performance of Grizzlies substitute guard Jerry Bayless saved the Grizzlies, who were lost in the city of Dallas, a life. Bayless's sharp breakthrough and unreasonable shooting put Mayo's name on the pillar of shame again.

Facing his old club that once abandoned him, it is no wonder that such a player would be hidden away by Carlisle.

58 to 50, at the end of the half, the pressure the Mavericks put on the Grizzlies was huge enough. Yiyang only scored 12 points in the half and only 4 points in the second quarter. This kind of performance is completely inconsistent with his explosive scoring curve since the second half of the season. But 8 assists in the half, this number may be more dazzling than the score.

"Can you imagine? There is actually a Chinese defender in this league who can activate the whole team under the Grizzlies' defense. We all know how good Yi's passing is, but we didn't expect that he has become so pervasive."

"He has been dedicated to scoring for so long that people have forgotten that what he is best at is actually organizing offense. From now on, we are lucky that Cuban failed to catch Deron last summer. Because if we let It would be such a waste to play the second position too!"

Stevens, who was sitting behind the technical desk, could not hear the commentators' praise for Yiyang, but he could imagine that Yiyang must be praised by all parties now.

In just half of the game, Yiyang scored a "quasi-double-double". If Stevens hadn't taken Yiyang personally, he would have suspected that Yiyang was a Terminator robot wrapped in human skin.

Yiyang's passing talent was already on display when he was with the Bulldogs. Why did Hayward's scoring ability drop so much after entering the league? There is no defender like Yiyang dedicated to feeding him the ball, which is also one of the reasons.

Sometimes, Stevens really doesn't understand why Cuban is so obsessed with recruiting big names. With a defender like Yiyang, as long as you recruit some people who are truly suitable for him, Yiyang will turn them into superstars!

If he, Hayward and Yiyang can join forces again, Stevens is confident that they will definitely be able to create greater glory!

Thinking of this, Stevens smiled and shook his head. You are lucky enough to be able to coach Yiyang and Hayward in college. How about continuing to coach them in the NBA? Are you kidding me...if I can coach an NBA-level team one day, it will be regarded as a manifestation of God.

The electronic buzzer of the stadium broke Stevens's illusions, and he returned his attention to the stadium as the second half of the game was about to begin.

After all the players took the field, assistant coach Darrell Armstrong, who had put away the tactical board, approached Carlisle with a smile.

"What's wrong Darrell, the game isn't over yet and you're so happy."

"Hey, after joining the Mavericks for one season, I was almost stunned. How could there be such a player in this world. You know Rick, I was once an NBA-level point guard. I didn't become a point guard until 2008. Retired is not an old antique. But to be honest, I don’t think Yiyang is on the same level as us." Armstrong smiled and shook his head. Fortunately, there was no Yiyang in his era. Otherwise, if you add Iverson, Kidd, Nash, Stockton, Payton and others... the NBA league would really have nothing to do without point guards like Armstrong.

“This is only his third season, Darrell.

He's going to be a superstar, and one day his name will be right up there with the greatest guys. "Carlisle proudly looked at Yiyang running on the court with a smile on his face.

"Seriously, how did you and Cuban find out that this kid is so smart three years ago?" Seeing that the game was still under the control of the Mavericks, Darrell continued to chat with Carlisle.

"Smart!? No, Cuban and I like that kid because he is stupid!"

"Stupid!?" Armstrong's eyes widened.

"Well... because he is stupid. So he doesn't know that even if he doesn't work harder, he can still make a living in the NBA. Because he is stupid, he never dares to slack off at all, even during holidays. Have you ever seen him slacking off in training? No, that stupid kid only knows how to train himself. I still remember when he first came to Dallas for a trial, facing the enthusiastic Dirk, he was like a log. He was there. But when he stepped onto the court and started performing, Cuban and I were thinking, this is the kid we want!"

Carlisle thought of all the past events of the past three years. Perhaps selecting Yiyang was one of the best decisions he and Cuban made in their lives.

On the court, Yiyang's passing still prevented the Grizzlies from turning over. When Hollins asked the players to defend one on one, Yiyang beat Conley to the point where he almost doubted his life.

After half the game, Nowitzki was also fed by Yiyang. Now, facing the defense of Randolph, a fat black bear, he seems to have turned into the super Dirk who can block and kill God.

Nowitzki opened up the situation in the three-second zone, and the Grizzlies' originally dominant inside line was officially broken.

Under such a good situation, Carlisle replaced Yiyang in an unusual move just six minutes into the third quarter. As the absolute core of the current Mavericks, Yiyang rarely leaves the game so early to rest. Even if the Mavericks now have the advantage, it would be too much for Carlisle to replace Yiyang so early. Commentators such as Mike Breen also speculated whether Yiyang was injured in the fierce confrontation and was replaced.

However, Carlisle was not an old fool. The reason why he replaced Yiyang at this moment of good momentum was to gain a greater advantage.

After Nowitzki showed his touch, he helped the Mavericks stabilize the point difference on the court. Until the end of the third quarter with three minutes left, the point difference was still 7 points, and Hollins had already begun to let the rotation players play.

When Gasol and Randolph were both replaced, Carlisle also waved his hand and brought Yiyang back up.

Before going on stage, people saw Carlisle whispering something in Yiyang's ear. Yiyang nodded slightly, then stepped into the arena with clenched fists.

Stevens in the stands glanced at the court, trying to analyze Carlisle's purpose. Yiyang was replaced midway, and now he was brought on again at the end of the third quarter.

Doing this will not allow for a break, and Yiyang, who is partnered with the second team, may not be able to open up the score. If he had continued to connect with Nowitzki inside and outside just now, maybe the score would have been opened now? But suddenly, it dawned on the Bulldogs young coach. Poor Jerry Bayless, just wish yourself well...

11 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds in the half, shooting 50% from the field. Do you think this is Mike Conley's data? No, no, no, the owner of this data is Jerry Bayless.

Today, Bayless has undoubtedly become a surprise player in the Grizzlies lineup. In fact, Bayless is not weak at all. From time to time, he can always contribute an amazing game.

When he was playing for the Trail Blazers, he had a miracle of defeating the Spurs with 31 points in a single game. While playing for the Raptors, Bayless also scored 32 points to help the Raptors complete a stunning comeback from a 25-point deficit. Who can guarantee that Bayless will not have another career masterpiece today?

Bayless felt great today and was able to perform well in the playoffs, which is the ending everyone expected. But when he ran across the half-court confidently and saw Yiyang standing in front of him, Bayless's smile disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Relax Jerry... No matter how powerful he is, he is just an ordinary person, nothing special..." Bayless began to comfort himself in his heart, and then bit the bullet and started running.

In the first off-ball pick-and-roll, Grizzlies substitute center Ed Davis failed to catch Yiyang. In the second off-ball pick-and-roll, Darrell Arthur, a member of the 2007 NCAA championship, did not catch Yiyang.

The pick-and-roll quality of Davis and Arthur is not as high as that of Gasol and Randolph. In addition, Yiyang is also a master of getting out of the pick-and-roll. Therefore, Bayless ran for a long time, but still could not get rid of the yellow-skinned figure.

In desperation, Grizzlies substitute point guard Kenyon Dulin had to hand the ball to Tony Roten, who replaced Prince, but Roten's hasty shot missed and Yi Jianlian protected the defensive rebound. The Bears offense failed again. In the first matchup between Yiyang and Bayless, they didn't even give each other a chance to connect.

After that, Yiyang did not stay and wait for the ball, but ran forward directly. Now, the point guard on the court for the Mavericks is Darren Collison. What Yiyang has to do is to wholeheartedly find openings to score.

Yiyang's defense embarrassed Bayless, but Bayless's defense did not put too much pressure on Yiyang.

Bayless was once predicted to be selected in the top five picks in 2008, largely because of his good physical fitness. Excellent movement speed and strong body are his biggest selling points.

But on the defensive end, Bayless has a strong body and defense speed, but does not have many skills.

After receiving Collison's pass, Yiyang made a triple-threat move, and the nervous Bayless easily changed his focus.

Even Yiyang didn't expect that a triple-threat step could shake the opponent's center of gravity, but he still seized the opportunity out of surprise and threw Bayless far away in one step.

Bayless wanted to turn around and chase him, but there was no one in the league who could catch up with him after being shaken away by Yiyang.

Davis, who is 2.08 meters tall, came over to defend, but he did not give people the huge sense of oppression like Gasol.

I saw Yiyang throwing the ball into the air very casually, and the basketball passed Davis's fingers. Yi Jianlian jumped up high behind Davis, and pressed the ball in the air into the frame with both hands. The two Chinese people completed Alley-oop!

At that moment, fans all over China were excited. They yelled and yelled, finding no other way to vent their excitement.

Yiyang lightly high-fived Yi Jianlian, and then quickly returned to defense. It's as if scoring against the Grizzlies' second unit is as easy as taking an outing to White Rock Lake.

Bayless still refused to give up. He was in good shape today, which also gave him more confidence.

This time, Bayless used his strong body to crush Yiyang into the penalty area, but his layup was severely interfered by Yiyang and deviated from the basket.

Yi Jianlian, who was excited about the alley-oop dunk just now, suddenly won the battle with Arthur and protected the rebound again.

But after that, the Mavericks took their time. Yi Jianlian handed the ball to Collison unhurriedly, and Collison made a few gestures and slowly advanced. Yiyang, on the other hand, is beginning to torture Bayless's nerves bit by bit.

Bayless, who was following Yiyang, accidentally disappeared, and the Chinese defender disappeared. Yiyang's counter-running speed was so fast and the timing was so sudden that Bayless didn't expect it.

When he turned around and saw Yiyang again, the No. 1 guard had already scored a layup.

At this time, Bayless's heart had completely collapsed, and the feeling of powerlessness spread throughout his body. The Grizzlies' special force was officially killed by Yiyang!

Seeing that Bayless could not create a storm on the court, Hollins held his forehead in despair.

All the cards in the black coach's hand have been exhausted, but Yiyang's "clown card" overwhelms them all.
