One Guard

After three quarters, the Spurs barely narrowed the point difference to 7 points thanks to Danny Green's miraculous 3-of-4 three-pointers in a single quarter. Although the point difference is not big, I am afraid only they know how thrilling the Spurs' process of stabilizing the gap to single digits was.

As Charles Barkley said, if it weren't for the Spurs' miraculous performance from beyond the three-point line, it would have been impossible for them to hold on to the score.

But having said that, Danny Green's accuracy from beyond the three-point line really shocked Carlisle. His shots are extremely fast and difficult to interfere with. And his shooting choice is very bold. As long as there is a chance, Green will decisively choose to shoot!

Three-pointers are indeed a very cost-effective offensive method. It often only takes a few balls to narrow the originally large point difference. Or, it could directly widen the score difference. If there is a team in this league that can maintain a three-point shooting rate like Danny Green and use three-pointers as their main attack method, God knows how terrifying their combat effectiveness will be.

But Carlisle immediately shook his head. Danny Green's three-point shooting rate is not "normal." Not everyone can play this and maintain it. It is already very rare to have such a shooter in a team.

However, what Carlisle didn't know was that in Oakland, a team that had been eliminated early this year was already beginning to experiment with the possibility of this style of play...

During the break, Popovich's mouth never stopped. He tried his best and deployed many tactics to curb Yiyang's performance. But Yiyang is always able to use various methods to solve problems.

"11 assists, 23 points and 3 steals. The game only lasted three quarters, and I already got a pretty good double-double! Now, the only factor that determines who will be the final winner between Barkley and Shaq is the winning or losing of both parties. Yes." Kenny Smith, as a "neutral person" who did not participate in the bet, is naturally very happy now. Look at Barkley and O'Neal, these two guys are sweating profusely from nervousness. To be honest, the air-conditioning system of the ATT Center is not bad, and Kenny Smith is very comfortable sitting on the commentary desk and working.

The sweat of those two fat men was not on the surface, but came from the heart.

"With 11 assists in three quarters, Yiyang completely activated the Mavericks' offense. The Spurs' defense was good enough, and they only left a small gap for Yiyang almost every time. However, for a player like Yiyang, A slight gap is enough." On ESPN's side, Mike Breen was also surprised by Yiyang's performance. A fact that people have to admit is that the strength gap between the Mavericks and the Spurs is really huge. This is very obvious when the players from both sides play against each other. But Yiyang, the MVP, is able to use his own personal abilities to fill the gap between the two teams, and so far, they have done a good job.

God knows what this game would have been like without Yiyang.

Maybe it's difficult for the Mavericks to even enter the penalty area under the Spurs' defense.

At this time, there are countless heavyweights in the ATT Center. Great GDP and Popovich, legendary European forward Dirk Nowitzki. But today, these people have become supporting actors. Everyone is talking about Yiyang, Yiyang. This guy is writing a legendary career of his own.

"The game is in the fourth quarter! I know everyone is tired, but we must persevere! The Spurs are a team that plays at a slow pace. When the fourth quarter starts, we can play at their pace first. Wait until the end Moment, speed up and sprint!" Carlisle looked at the panting players and couldn't help but feel worried. Now, the biggest problem for the Mavericks is physical fitness. It is not easy to maintain the same defensive intensity against the Spurs. The Mavericks had no choice but to press at all costs.

"Yeah, we can do it."

Carter, Nowitzki, Marion and other veterans were sweating heavily on the floor. They were even too tired to speak. Only Yiyang could nod in response to Carlisle.

"Beep." The electronic buzzer that signified the end of the inter-section break sounded mercilessly, and the players from both teams stood up from the bench to fight for their lives. Carlisle replaced Carter with Collison and replaced Marion with Crowder. Yi Jianlian replaced Nowitzki, and Murphy replaced Kaman. Everyone needs to rest, otherwise the veterans may not be able to last until the end of the game.

Only Yiyang, who was already very tired, was ready to play for 12 minutes.

"Coach Carlisle sent out another lineup with a starting lineup and four substitutes. I have to admit that what he did was very scary! Although he has performed well with such a lineup more than once, gambling is still gambling after all. If you are not careful, , Carlisle is very likely to ruin the entire game." Kenny Smith's words are not alarmist. As for the Mavericks' second lineup, except for Darren Collison, everyone else and the playoff stage are indeed Somewhat out of place.

But do you think Carlisle wanted to? The Mavericks' roster is so tight this season. And this is exactly why Yiyang is great enough.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ginobili's demon knife wanted to penetrate the Mavericks' vitals. But today, the Argentinian's condition is very average. As the most "whiny" player on the Spurs, you can't stop Ginobili when he's great. But when things are bad, it's really not that scary.

His sharp breakthrough stunned the still young Collison, and finally the Argentine tried to pass the opportunity to Gary Neal with a sultry behind-the-back pass.

However, not everyone can closely link good looks with use like Yiyang. Ginobili's passing was cool, but his accuracy was a bit off. Moreover, Gary Neal did not expect the Argentine to pass the ball like this.

Just like that, Ginobili's ball passed directly to Popovich's arms. The camera gave a close-up shot of Popovich's face. The old coach turned red with anger and wished he could trade Ginobili right now!

"Manu's passes always wander between the top ten and turnovers. Unfortunately, this time he was not lucky. As soon as he came up, the Spurs gave the Mavericks the ball. I didn't look at it, Also, how can we lead the team’s second team to perform this time?”

Although the strength of the Mavericks' second team is not strong, there is one advantage: they can follow Yiyang!

Fast pace, which is what the Mavericks need. As soon as the two tall men Yi Jianlian and Murphy reached beyond three points, they stopped in their tracks. The white and yellow insiders were both threats from beyond the three-point line, and Diaw and Bonner, who came on the bench, were at a loss. Should they recover the basket, or should they continue to defend their opponent?

Yiyang didn't give the Spurs' two substitute insiders any time to think. He accelerated directly and passed Gary Neal, who had extremely mediocre athletic ability. He avoided Bonner's slow body and slid in like a loach. Insider.

And after that? The person who came back to defend the basket was actually Ginobili. There was no way, he was the only Spurs player who had time to rush back to the penalty area to defend. But to be honest, Ginobili's defense at the basket couldn't bring any real trouble to Yiyang.

Ginobili stretched out his hand to stop Yiyang, but to no avail. The referee did not call the Argentinian a foul, which was considered quite merciful.

Yiyang easily made a layup, and his personal score reached 25 points. Yiyang, who had already scored a double-double in the third quarter, had no intention of stopping just yet.

After scoring a goal, Yiyang silently raised his fist and waved it slightly. Although Leonard was expressionless on the bench, he was already very anxious inside.

The point difference becomes 9 points. If the Spurs don't score, the gap will be in danger of widening to double digits. A double-digit score difference and a single-digit score difference bring completely different psychological pressure to the players. Popovich naturally does not want the game to go into the fourth quarter, and the point difference is in danger of being widened.

Of course he wants to replace Leonard, replace Parker, and replace the No. 21 pick. But there is only one Yiyang, and not everyone can play a full 12-minute game when exhausted. Popovich could only sigh secretly, how good it is to have a young core...

Neal passed the ball to Ginobili just after halftime. He didn't want to try to get entangled with Yiyang. Ginobili breaks out with the ball, but what he bullies is that Collison is not strong enough and has insufficient confrontation ability.

Yi Jianlian saw Ginobili burst in and immediately defended the basket. The Argentinian took advantage of the opportunity and immediately gave the ball to Boris Diaw who was left open.

French forward Diaw is definitely an underrated "old monster". Although he is a little out of shape, this guy is an all-around wizard who can play five positions.

Mid-range shooting is not a problem at all for Diaw. Yi Jianlian wanted to immediately change his focus and attack Diaw, but it was too late to do so. Dio jumped up calmly and took action. But the next second, the French forward's vision went dark.

That's right, it's Yiyang.

"Yi's cover defense was very good. God, the Mavericks' defense switch didn't look much worse than the Spurs'. Although Diaw was not blocked, the ball was still seriously interfered with. No, the basketball came out of the frame and the Frenchman missed it. Good opportunity. Now, the Dallas Mavericks have the opportunity to widen the gap again!"

Yiyang uses his endless running to save the team from fire and water time and time again. Stevens on the sidelines had goosebumps all over his body. Has the little guy who once competed against John Wall on the high court without falling behind has grown so powerful?

Murphy grabbed the rebound and took a hidden elbow from Bonner in the air. People say that Murphy is an out-and-out softie, but at this moment he is stronger than anyone else. The entire Mavericks team has been infected by Yiyang's actions.

After receiving an elbow, Murphy didn't even deliberately try to win the referee's sympathy. He knew that if he took one step slower, the opportunity to attack would be gone!

With his head groggy, Murphy threw the basketball in his hand vigorously.

"Murphy made a long pass, and we saw that he had already started running towards the Spurs half! But Murphy's pass was too big!"

The basketball flies so fast that not even Yiyang can catch up with it. Murphy is not a good long pass player, and he was not able to control his power very accurately after being elbowed in the head.

But Yiyang did not give up. He stared at the basketball and ran wildly. Does this guy know what giving up means? If he would have given up, he might have died in the Wood Zone by now.

The basketball flew out of bounds. Yiyang jumped high and made a flying dive in the air. In this way, Yiyang saved the ball when his body was almost parallel to the ground!

Darren Collison, who followed up quickly, received Yiyang's save. The ball was passed very accurately. Collison didn't know how Yiyang did all this while losing balance in the air. All he knew was that he couldn't live up to Yiyang's sacrifice of his own life!

Yiyang's body began to fall, and he was destined to fall miserably. Just before he came into close contact with the floor, Yiyang saw Collison succeed in an easy layup. Yiyang, who was falling in the air, showed a faint smile.

Yiyang was like a bomb thrown from a plane, directly "exploding" the auditorium at the bottom line to pieces. Collison rushed into the crowd and "fished" Yiyang out.

Yiyang clutched his back in pain. The hard fall just now hurt him so much.

After struggling on the floor for a few times, Yiyang took Collison's hand and stood up again.

"I'm sorry!" Yiyang turned around and waved to the fans who fell with him behind him, and then re-entered the stadium.

Immediately, the Mavericks fans who came to the ATT Center to watch the game gave Yiyang huge applause.

O'Neill shook his head, although he didn't want to admit it. But Yiyang should be the first person in NBA history who can dominate the ATT Center.

Yiyang's continuous brave performance has stimulated the adrenaline of the Mavericks players to the highest level. The Dallas Cowboys are all gnashing their teeth now, wanting to go on the field to fight alongside Yiyang and tear the Spurs guys into pieces.

"I really hope I can fight beside Yiyang now!" Even Hayward, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, was a little eager to give it a try. This shows how infectious Yiyang's actions are.

Popovich looked at the fans applauding Yiyang, at the players on the Mavericks bench who were shouting with excitement, and at the expressionless Dallas No. 1 guard.

The white-haired old man sighed, what else can he do now? Pray to God.

Maybe God is not at home today, maybe God is not willing to erase Yiyang's classic game. The Spurs still didn't get any chance after that, and the physical problems that the Mavericks should have had were overshadowed by their high morale.

After Carlisle replaced the main lineup, the Spurs were even more unable to parry. Nowitzki even had a dunk after turning around and breaking through Duncan. The Dallas Mavericks players went crazy.

The originally docile Mavericks became wild because of Yiyang. They were very aggressive and played a beautiful wave of offensive basketball.

When the game was about to end with 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Popovich sat back on the bench and stopped yelling. This means that the San Antonio Spurs have given up this game!

"Coach Gregg Popovich gave up the struggle, the game is over! Hahahaha, Shaq, remember to bring your extra-large flag to the next game!" Barkley let out a breath, which was his own He felt the most relaxed moment since he made a bet with O'Neal yesterday.

O'Neal leaned back on the bench suddenly and held his forehead.

With 32 points, 18 assists, 4 steals, 1 block and 4 rebounds, Yiyang's huge double-double completely defeated this behemoth that once wreaked havoc in the paint. Why would he make a bet with Yi? Barkley is a fool, but also, he is a madman! A madman never cares about the cost in order to achieve his goal!

What lesson did O'Neal learn from this incident? Never, ever bet on anything to do with Chinese players…
