One Guard

The ball went in, the net rolled, and the fans cheered. Is this the first time Yiyang has staged a winning performance in the American Airlines Center Arena? Mike Breen can't remember. But he knew that every time Yiyang performed a decisive victory, the fans would go crazy at the scene.

In front of Yiyang was Kangli who was so surprised that he fell to the ground. On that goal just now, my defense was already very good. He gave Yiyang a strong physical confrontation without any loss of position. However, Yiyang completed the one-handed throw despite the interference. He took full advantage of his height and wingspan. A few seconds ago, Conley would never have imagined that that seemingly impossible throw would become the most fatal shot.

But just as the Mavericks fans were celebrating their victory crazily, the referee came out and ruined the scene. When people looked at the big screen again, they realized that the score scored by Yiyang's throw had not yet been added.

The referees have no way to judge whether the ball has timed out with their naked eyes. They need to use the video of the NBA Replay Center to make the final decision.

The Grizzlies players seemed to see a glimmer of hope. Maybe the goal really timed out? Yiyang's shot was indeed a bit late. God would not let the Grizzlies be forced to a dead end like this.

Several referees on duty gathered around the technical table to study for several minutes. These minutes were so long for the players of the Grizzlies and Mavericks. It seemed like a long, long time had passed before several referees finally reached an agreement and had a result.

God did not let the game end here, but he made a big joke with the Grizzlies.

After studying the game video, the referee stated that Yiyang's goal was valid. He took the shot before the end of the game, and the game was not over even after the ball was scored. In other words, the Grizzlies can still get another chance to attack!

However, how long until the end of the game? You know, when Yiyang started his breakthrough, there were only 4.3 seconds left in the game.

The Grizzlies players looked at the referee with expectant eyes, and the referee signaled the technical table to wait for seconds. Fans craned their necks, eager to see how long the referee would leave the Grizzlies. However, when the timer on the backboard resumed its numbers, the entire court was in an uproar.

Marc Gasol felt like he was being teased. He slammed the basketball to the floor, turned around and left the court angrily. Randolph yelled something at the referee. Although his voice was inaudible, it was easy to tell by the shape of his mouth that he was saying something with the letter "F" in it.

Conley was torn, not knowing whether to join his teammates in protest or pick up the basketball. It wasn't until Lionel Hollins waved his hand at Conley that the little guard finally walked off the court.

On the rebound timer, the number was set back by 0.1 seconds by the referee. That's right, it's 0.1 seconds. Although the referee was indeed aware of everything, in the eyes of the Grizzlies players, this was simply a humiliation.

The referee gave you hope, and then told you in such a ridiculous way: "You should just go home with a total score of 2-0!"

The Grizzlies players refused to continue playing, and the referee didn't care and signaled the game to begin. 0.1 seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and the atmosphere in the American Airlines Center Arena became heated again after a brief interruption.

The Grizzlies' performance today was good enough, and they were only one step away from overturning the Mavericks. However, there are no draws in the world of BA, only wins and losses. Although the Grizzlies only lost by two points, all they needed might be just a few seconds. But this small gap still forced them to return to Memphis with a 2-0 score.

Although the next two games will be played at the Grizzlies' home court, it is not easy to come back from a 2-0 deficit. What's more, their opponent is Yiyang, who played the first masterpiece of his career.

“Actually, the Grizzlies defense did a good enough job today.

Dirk only scored 13 points with a 41% shooting rate, and Collison only scored 10 points with a shooting rate of only 37%. Even Yi, who has always been known for his high shooting percentage, today's shooting percentage is only 52%. But unfortunately, the Grizzlies tried their best, but to no avail. Under the leadership of Yi, the Mavericks are simply invincible! "

After the game, Yiyang, who scored 25 points, 11 assists and 3 steals, received unanimous praise from all parties. And those who were waiting to see Yiyang's jokes were disappointed again.

The happiest person at this time is none other than Mark King, the general manager of Adidas North America Division. Yiyang's performance proved that his 100 million yuan was worth it. This is only his third NBA season. Who can guarantee that this Chinese will not become one of the greatest stars in the NBA in the future? 250 million is simply not enough to measure Yiyang’s value!

At this point, the Mavericks became the first team in this series to gain a 2-0 lead. Even the Thunder, ranked first in the Western Conference this year, only tied with the Lakers.

Is there anything more worthy of the joy of signing a billion-dollar contract than victory? This night must be very beautiful for Yiyang.

※※※

The fierce playoffs still bring countless topics for fans to talk about every day, and also bring scenes of classic scenes to the basketball world. Every year, the playoffs are the time when teams compete most fiercely, and it is also the stage for stars to become famous. The most mentioned name in this year's playoffs is undoubtedly Yiyang.

Yiyang has been followed and photographed by reporters since he drove out today. Every photo of this guy can now be sold for a good price. The reporters almost rushed into Yiyang's house to secretly take pictures of him taking a bath.

However, facing the reporters' cameras and the praise from the outside world, Yiyang did not look too excited. This guy still trains as always, practices extra, and then goes home early to rest.

After following Yiyang for a day, reporters were all surprised by Yiyang's "boring" life. A well-known player like Yiyang can take several hot-bodied women home for a night out while wandering around the streets of Dallas. Or, rent a boat on White Rock Lake and enjoy fishing.

But the reporters didn't see these scenes at all. Yiyang's life was like that of an office worker. Extremely regular and never mixed with anything else.

Although Yiyang plunged into the league, his strong self-discipline still amazed reporters. No wonder this guy can always perform stably in games. This is inseparable from his efforts behind the scenes.

Before the end of the series, Yiyang will never allow anything to be done that affects his work. Even the invitations from Stevens and Hayward were politely declined by Yiyang. You could call this dull and impersonal. But equally, you could also see it as a way for him to take his job seriously.

Yiyang's seriousness will naturally bring him greater rewards. On April 25, in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, the game between the Mavericks and the Grizzlies was officially moved to FedEx Arena. Under the cheers of 15,000 Grizzlies fans, Yiyang scored 32 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. His personal performance was still dazzling. Unfortunately, the Mavericks suffered their first defeat in the first round of the series in two years.

The Grizzlies went all out today, and all the players performed very well. Because they know very well that if the score becomes 3-0, their efforts throughout the season will be in vain.

Therefore, the Grizzlies can be said to be full of soldiers today. Anyone who comes up can play their due role.

Randolph showed off his power in front of Nowitzki and completed a beautiful revenge with a double-double of 27 points and 11 rebounds. Gasol was not to be outdone, with 18 points and 8 rebounds. The Black and White Bears teamed up to defeat Nowitzki and Kaman, the German national team's insiders, unable to fight back.

Of course, the scoring numbers of the Black and White Bears weren't all the reason the Grizzlies were able to win. The reason why they won was more due to their perseverance in defense.

Except for Yiyang, no one on the Mavericks scored in double figures today. Even Nowitzki only scored 9 points on 4-of-11 shooting.

Basketball has always been a sport for five people. No matter how good Yiyang is, he can't overturn the Grizzlies' defense on his own. 98 to 87, the Grizzlies, who were cornered, came back at home and the total score became 2 to 1. They saw the dawn of hope again.

For the Grizzlies, good things have happened before they come.

Just before the start of the fourth game between the two sides, the NBA and the Grizzlies officially announced that Spanish center Marc Gasol won the best defensive player award this season! This news undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Grizzlies players.

Carlisle really wants to apply to the league so that all regular season awards can be awarded on the day after the end of the regular season. It's really an unfair blow to morale when an opponent's player wins an award during the playoffs.

Encouraged by the honor of "Best Defensive Player", Gasol's performance in the fourth game between the two sides was simply perfect. The Spaniard told everyone with his soft touch and solid basic skills at the basket that the center has not yet perished from the basketball world. The ancient prehistoric beast still has the power to dominate the game.

Gasol shot 11 of 17 from the field and scored a double-double with 24 points and 13 rebounds. He and Randolph combined to score 48+22, maximizing the Grizzlies' inside advantage.

Under the Grizzlies' tight interior defense, the Mavericks tried many times from outside the three-point line today, but to no avail. Neither Dirk nor Carter, nor Collison nor Yi Jianlian, can bring stable three-point firepower output to the Mavericks.

There is no way to open the score with three-pointers, so you can only watch the Grizzlies wreak havoc on their own basket over and over again in the way they do best.

The Mavericks suffered a very frustrating loss. They had obviously taken advantage and were preparing to end the first round of the series today, but now they were forced to a 2-2 tie. The Mavericks had lost two games in a row!

After the Grizzlies returned home, their mood was completely different. They found their confidence and they also had a stronger will. Moving the score back to 2-2 made the playoffs, which already had little suspense, full of uncertainty.

"The Mavericks habitually collapse in the playoffs!"

"Yiyang is still too young!"

"There is no doubt that Yi has not become a true leader. There are still many things he needs to learn. For example, if you don't win all four games in the playoffs, never let down your guard!"

"A regular season team, the Mavericks are a regular season team at heart!"

The media started to take advantage of the Mavericks again. Judging from the state of the last two games, even if the Grizzlies win the series, people will not be surprised.

The Grizzlies' stubbornness completely exceeded the expectations of Carlisle and the Mavericks. This group of guys who once defeated the Spurs are going for the O'Brien Trophy this year!

Be a hero or a laughingstock? Four games later, the first round series has reached its most critical period.

"... Just like many people once said that the Mavericks could not win the championship, just like many people asserted that the Mavericks could not enter the playoffs a few months ago, now some people are jumping out to say that the Mavericks are likely to be eliminated by the Grizzlies. Although I personally have always been dismissive of such claims, I do not want my teammates and fans to feel that I have acquiesced to such nonsense."

After losing the fourth game, Yiyang said this in an interview with reporters on the sidelines. Although Yiyang still seems confident, many reporters think that Yiyang is just bluffing.

In the history of the NBA playoffs, whenever the Mavericks were tied 2-2, they were reversed and eliminated most of the time. Reporters clung to this record and concluded that the Mavericks would definitely go up and down again.

Mavericks and Yiyang, who are troubled by the "magic curse", are really struggling now...
