One Guard

"Hahahahaha, have you seen this dunk!? This is the playoffs. On the stage of the playoffs, Yi and Carter performed moves that were only seen during the All-Star Weekend in the past! Smashing the board and passing the ball Carter followed up with a one-handed dunk. The Mavericks are in really good shape today. Look at Shaq, unless the Spurs' three-pointers are accurate again today. Otherwise, you'll be wearing the flag!"

Seeing Yiyang and Carter perform such a perfect aerial coordination, Barkley undoubtedly became the happiest person. His exaggerated laughter made O'Neal want to cover his ears. It was only two points. Look at that idiot Barkley, making it seem as if the Mavericks had already won the game.

"What's wrong, Shaq, you don't dare to speak anymore? Hahahaha, it's useless. There's no use regretting it now!"

O'Neal ignored Barkley, who was probably going crazy from the stress of hula dancing.

The Mavericks' offense just now was indeed wonderful, and it can be said that they have already booked a place among the five best goals in the playoffs this season. But passing the ball on the board and then dunking on an alley-oop is not a conventional offensive method after all. It is impossible for the Mavericks to get such a good opportunity every time they attack. Even if they get the opportunity, who can guarantee that Yiyang and Carter will not make mistakes in their cooperation and succeed every time?

So, although the Mavericks started 5-0, O'Neal was not worried. It's not that O'Neal isn't worried about his appearance criticizing the Chinese flag, but it's that he isn't worried that the Spurs will sink.

After the exciting dunk, the ATT Center immediately became calm again. The San Antonio Spurs are not the kind of team that will be completely defeated after being hit. No matter how their opponents play, the Spurs will continue to control the situation at their own pace.

So when Carter and Yiyang's wonderful dunks gave the Mavericks a 5-point advantage, the Spurs remained calm. French defender Parker's progress was still leisurely. He walked slowly across the half court and raised his hand to direct his teammates to move. Yiyang didn't even give Parker a chance to play the ball comfortably. From the moment Parker crossed the midfield line, Yiyang stuck to him.

"These guys are crazy. Have they forgotten that a basketball game lasts four quarters?" Popovich saw the Mavericks using a pressing defense from the beginning. He really didn't know what Carlisle was thinking. Having wasted all their energy on close defense early on, can the Mavericks counterattack at the critical moment?

However, Yiyang's close-fitting press is indeed very effective. The only thing Parker can think about now is how to keep the ball. As for other things, he has no extra energy to worry about.

Parker struggled, and the Spurs' offense temporarily stalled. Seeing that the "little sports car" seemed unable to break through Yiyang's defense, Popovich yelled on the sidelines and called Leonard to come to the rescue.

The expressionless Leonard used a superb counter run to shake off Marion.

Driving outside the three-point line, Parker finally had a passing route.

Just when Parker raised the basketball and was about to take it off, Yiyang saw the right opportunity and quickly made a move!

As soon as Parker passed the ball, he was slapped hard by Yiyang!

"What!?"

"What kind of reaction speed is this!?"

Leonard and Parker were still in a surprised mood, while Yiyang continued to accelerate, leaving everyone behind.

"Another defensive counterattack by the Dallas Mavericks. Carlisle's idea of ​​playing fast tempo today was fully implemented by Yiyang! One-handed dunk! Yiyang scored easily. 7-0. If Mr. Popovich lets it go, then the Spurs will It is very likely that we will be saddled with a double-digit point difference early on.”

"It's very possible, Kenny. It's certain, the Mavericks will be able to quickly widen the point difference to double digits!" Barkley on the commentary table was so excited that he jumped on the grass every time Yiyang scored a goal. The probability of skirt dance has decreased again.

This fat guy looked at O'Neal proudly. That ugly guy's expression should be wonderful now, right?

However, O'Neal just looked at the court expressionlessly, as if it was the Dallas Mavericks who were trailing by 7 points.

"Shaq, I'm curious, are you watching the game?" Barkley saw O'Neal's eyes dull. This was not a normal reaction from a "big shark".

"Am I watching? What's wrong?"

"The Spurs are seven points behind!" Barkley repeated.

"Oh." O'Neal replied casually, then turned his head again and stared at the court expressionlessly.

Will the San Antonio Spurs be defeated? Barkley, you have really never dealt with GDP personally...

7-0, the Spurs' start was a mess. Continuous mistakes and strikes prevented them from scoring a goal in the first few minutes of the game.

Popovich started yelling from the sidelines, but the Spurs remained calm. In the first few attacks, Parker was directly blocked by Yiyang. So this time, the Spurs decided not to use Parker as an organizational point. The Frenchman handed the ball to Leonard just after halftime. Leonard facing Marion is a completely different concept than Parker facing Yiyang.

Leonard holds the ball, and Duncan leans on Nowitzki. The former did not hesitate and used a well-timed lob pass to make Duncan, a 37-year-old "rookie", the Spurs' main offensive point.

O'Neal smiled, took a fancy to Charles, and saw how the Spurs slowly filled up the disadvantage!

Duncan didn't rush to attack after holding the ball, but used his back to feel Nowitzki's defense. The Germans are very smart. They neither put all their weight forward nor give in. At this time, it was not easy for Duncan to turn around and break through or turn over and shoot a jump shot.

In this case, Duncan decided to use the simple and crude method of pushing with his back to get close to the basket. Although "Old Dengtou" is almost 40 years old, his power is still very terrifying. Sitting back suddenly, Nowitzki felt overwhelmed.

As Duncan advanced, he observed the positioning of his teammates and the Mavericks' defense. No. 21 also looked at Yiyang specifically. Yiyang was still around Parker at this time and should not be a threat to him.

So Duncan took another step back. This time, it directly puts him into the three-second zone. Whether it is a hook shot or a turnaround throw, it is a good distance and position.

Duncan held the ball in both hands and feinted to the right. With a fake shoulder shake, he deceived Nowitzki's center of gravity. After that, the No. 21 rookie turned left. He was bound to win this hook!

Just when Duncan turned around and was about to lift the ball high, he saw Yiyang's face already in front of his nose! When did this guy come up? ? Just now, he clearly saw Yiyang still entangled with Parker outside the three-point line?

Yiyang's movement speed was much beyond Duncan's expectation. This gray-bearded No. 21 has competed with countless great stars. It is no exaggeration to say that he "drags" two generations of stars to death. However, no one can rush in front of him and complete the steal in this situation. When Duncan was 37 years old, he didn't expect that there were players in the world who could surprise him.

Yiyang's unexpected and quick cut caused Duncan to make a mistake. This was also the second mistake Yiyang forced the Spurs to make in the first quarter. Yiyang, who is only 1.93 meters tall, surprisingly made up for the Mavericks' doomed defense.

Seeing Yiyang complete the steal again, Leonard without thinking directly hugged Yiyang around the waist who was about to start off. Rather than giving Yiyang another chance for a fast break dunk, it would be better to use a direct foul to stop it. What if Yiyang misses the free throw?

The Spurs fans thought the same way. They shouted at the top of their lungs just to distract Yiyang from the free throw line. However, Yiyang is actually just like Duncan and Leonard. Even though there is a lot of noise around them, they are still as calm as water.

The shouts of Spurs fans eventually turned into feeble wails. Yiyang made two free throws, and the score on the big screen became 9-0!

"Yi appeared in every corner of the court today. So far, he has sent 2 assists, 2 steals and 4 points. He has shouldered the responsibility of being a star player and strives to use his personal abilities to Make up for the team's shortcomings. What kind of data do you think Yi can produce today? A double-double? Or even a triple-double?" On ESPN, Mike Breen and Kevin Harlan's commentary was obviously "moderate" Quite a few, after all, not all commentators are O'Neal and Barkley, who are always doing the "shit and piss" routine.

"I don't know, honestly, he's probably the most unpredictable player in the world. What I'm concerned about right now is when Coach Popovich is going to call a timeout. After all, they haven't been able to do anything in the first few minutes of the game. No gain." Kevin Harlan stretched his neck and looked at the white-haired old man in front of the Spurs bench. This guy must be very unwilling. Why is his team trailing by 9 points?

Popovich did not call a timeout. Although the point difference had been widened, he believed that the Spurs should be able to regain the initiative soon. After all, the Spurs are now 9 points behind not because of lack of strength, but because there have been too many "accidents" on the court.

No matter how powerful Yiyang is, he can't guard all five positions by himself. Just stealing Duncan can only show that this Chinese defender is really fast. But no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than the Spurs' smooth passing of the ball.

This time, the Spurs offense played very patiently. After a series of transmissions, Danny Green at the bottom corner of the right three-point line finally received the basketball.

In the last game, Danny Green blasted the Mavericks' basket with 6 of 9 three-pointers. Throughout the playoffs, Green's three-point shooting percentage was as high as 44.6%. It can be said that he is the most stable three-point output point under Popovich.

The ball hit him, but Carter couldn't get back in time. It seemed like this was almost a guaranteed three-pointer.

Danny Green took a quick shot, and as soon as the ball flew out, the Spurs fans raised their arms in advance. Popovich breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he can break the scoring drought, the situation will be stable!

Everyone seems to think that the Spurs have obtained the three-pointer, but basketball games do not rely on "feeling" to score.

Danny Green's three-pointer is indeed accurate, and the arc is just right. But after the basketball spun three times on the rim, it still slipped out!

The Spurs fans who were cheering with their arms raised widened their eyes. What is going on? Did someone grease the rim with butter?

"Danny Green's unmarked three-pointer slipped out of the frame. It seems that even God is standing with Yi today!"

The basketball missed the frame and Kaman desperately protected the rebound. Although he can't contribute much, in order to win, he will fight to the end with Yiyang!

Seeing Kaman grab the basketball, Yiyang immediately put his hands down, signaling the German center not to be anxious and wait until all the Spurs players returned to defense before passing the ball.

Yiyang's move ruined Parker and Leonard's counterattack plan. Stevens in the stands smiled happily. A brain on the court is useful to the team all the time. It seems that Kidd, a historical superstar, has indeed taught Yiyang well.

Although the tempo approach allowed the Mavericks to safely keep the ball, it also gave the opponent time to spread its defense. This means that the Mavericks are about to do something they are not good at - fighting a positional battle with the Spurs!

Positional warfare, it can be said that this is a paradise for the Spurs! Their excellent defensive system can eclipse any superstar. Yiyang took the ball slowly and tried hard to find an opening. But he saw nothing. The Spurs' defense was airtight.

So, the No. 1 guard waved and signaled Dirk to come up and screen for him. Faced with the Mavericks' classic offensive tactics, how could Popovich not be prepared?

Duncan did not stick to Dirk, but let Nowitzki go, guarding against Yiyang's breakthrough! What if Yiyang passes back to Nowitzki? In such a small space, Duncan can quickly cover up defense.

It seems that Popovich and the Spurs have completely eaten up the Mavericks' offense. But this time, Yiyang neither continued to break through nor passed the ball back to Dirk. Instead, he hit the ground hard and the basketball bounced high after hitting the floor.

"Where's the ball?" The Spurs players all asked the same question, and Chris Kaman suddenly sprinted from the right corner. Facing the high-bouncing ball, Kaman jumped slightly. The pass was so good that he could put the ball into the basket just by jumping up and lifting it.

Although Kaman couldn't stage any alley-oop dunk with Yiyang, to be honest, this goal was indeed very thrilling and exciting. The most important thing is that this goal gave Yiyang his third assist of the game and allowed the team to start 11-0!

"Timeout, timeout!" Popovich couldn't hold it in any longer, 11-0, this was simply a shame and a huge humiliation!

What about O'Neal on the commentary table? This fat guy's relaxed expression has long been replaced by a frown...

"Didn't you let me take a good look at it, Shaq?" After the game was suspended, Barkley made a sarcastic remark to O'Neal, who was showing off at the beginning.

And what about O'Neal? Now, he could no longer refute.
