One Guard
Chapter 537: Fighting World of Warcraft
Howard was fouled as soon as the game started, and McHale had to shout from the sidelines to remind Howard to pay attention to his defensive actions. But Howard himself didn't care about it. He allowed Tony Allen to get a chance. It was just his carelessness. Otherwise, how could this guy who averaged single-digit points per game get to the free throw line so easily?
Howard's mind is now filled with Yiyang, the Chinese defender who always seems to be at odds with him. And the best way to defeat him is to destroy the inside line! Generally, one can only watch helplessly when a point guard destroys a center player. Howard wanted to keep the victory at Toyota Center under Yiyang's nose.
This time, Harden was the first to take the ball away from Jeremy Lin. Howard asked for the ball in the three-second zone as always, but Harden is not Jeremy Lin, and this bearded man will not give up the ball easily.
Harden made several triple-threat moves with the ball, which meant that he wanted to beat Tony Allen alone!
"Damn!" Howard cursed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he could not express his dissatisfaction. This Rockets team has just been formed, and Harden and Howard still have a lot of tolerance for each other.
Harden followed through with several triple-threat moves, but Tony Allen didn't even move his heels. His pace may be able to deceive others, but Tony Allen, the expert, doesn't fall for that trick.
So Harden reached out and called Howard for a pick-and-roll, but Howard remained unmoved. This guy is used to sitting inside and waiting for the ball. Even Kobe Bryant's Howard won't let go, let alone Harden?
There was no way, Turkish center Omer Asik had no choice but to step forward to alleviate this embarrassment. But Asik's better-than-never mobility makes this pick-and-roll lose its original power.
In the end, the pick-and-roll didn't help Harden win much space. His shot was still interfered by Tony Allen and failed to hit.
Howard wanted to fight for rebounds, but found that the experienced Dalembert had already blocked his position. Helpless, Howard had no choice but to watch as the Mavericks regained the ball.
After Yiyang got the ball, he didn't rush forward. Instead, he pressed down with his right hand to signal his teammates to slow down.
In the last game, the Mavericks defeated the Hawks with their quick counterattack after excellent defense. But today, they seemed to prefer slow-paced positional warfare.
No one knows how Carlisle arranged it. Normally a team's rhythm will not change at will. But the Mavericks are in a special situation. They have an all-around point guard who can control both speed and speed.
The Mavericks advanced slowly, determined to grind out the position with the Rockets. Yiyang dribbled the ball with his left hand, raised his right hand high, and kept making gestures that only the Mavericks players could understand.
Howard knows that Yiyang likes to play tricks, so he may have been directing for a long time and suddenly he will break through with the ball. Therefore, "Warcraft" did not care about other people, this guy still set his sights on Yiyang. As long as that Chinese dares to come in, let him look good!
After watching Yiyang's command, Dalembert walked to Harden and set up a screen. Tony Allen suddenly started a reverse run, once again getting rid of the absent-minded Harden to gain offensive space.
As long as you can create space, you don't have to worry about not catching the ball. Yiyang, he has his own way to deliver the ball.
Yiyang stared at Nowitzki, but pushed hard in the opposite direction with his hand!
The basketball turned into an afterimage and jumped into the crowd with a "whoosh". When it stopped, what people saw was Tony Allen!
"Tony got another open shooting opportunity through an off-ball screen. James Harden's defense is really troublesome!" Mike Breen shook his head. The young No. 2 position is not good at the defensive end. There are inherent disadvantages, but always lack of concentration. At the most exaggerated moment, Harden didn't even know where his matchup was.
Although Tony Allen doesn't have much shooting ability, he can still easily make an open shot from mid-range to short range.
Howard's make-up defense did not achieve much results. Yiyang assisted for the second time.
Tony Allen scored four points in a row.
"It seems that Coach Carlisle wants to seize Harden's point and insist on it. Harden's defense must be serious, otherwise he will let the team lose a lot of points today."
Harden certainly knows this, but until now, he still feels that Tony Allen is not a threat.
Tony Allen scored again, making Howard furious. How come a guy who can't attack at all scores continuously. He wanted to talk about Harden, but he didn't say anything because of the other person's face. It seems that I have to pay more attention to myself.
Then the Rockets attacked, and Howard worked hard to squeeze inside, finally getting two free throw opportunities for himself.
But Howard failed to hit any of his two free throws, and all his efforts just now were in vain. The Rockets' offense temporarily stalled, but the Mavericks did not follow suit.
This time, Tony Allen's running is still very active, but Harden's defense is still very passive. Howard was worried about Dalembert, observing Yiyang, and keeping an eye on Tony, which greatly distracted his attention.
And finally? None of the three people he paid attention to scored, and it was Nowitzki who scored.
Yiyang's eye fake made Nowitzki catch the basketball and there were no double-team players around him because everyone thought Yiyang would pass the ball to Tony Allen. And Turkish center Asik alone cannot pose a threat to Dirk.
Nowitzki turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper. His shooting point was so high that Asik could not match it. The basketball hollowed into the net and rolled up a burst of "white waves". Yiyang has three assists. From the beginning of the game to now, Yiyang has led the team to score three goals in a row without even stepping onto the three-point line!
"This is the scary thing about an excellent point guard. They can often cut through the opponent's defense with just one pass. He also played easily and contentedly, and he cooperated very well with his teammates. On the contrary, the Rockets, Harden and Howard has been struggling a bit during this period." Mike Breen's comments were very pertinent, but the local commentator in Houston didn't think so.
"I have always known that he is a complete coward! Therefore, he does not dare to challenge Dwight's authority at all! I would like to see how he wins by just passing the ball!"
These guys understood Yiyang's motivation for passing the ball as "fear", but Yiyang really didn't know what he had to be afraid of. If your teammates have a better chance, of course you have to choose to pass the ball.
But the comments of these guys did not take hold, because soon, Yiyang really challenged Howard's authority, and even singled out the league's "number one center".
In this attack, Harden seemed to have finally recovered from the nightclub life last night, and tried hard to follow Tony Allen for the entire half.
On Iguodala's side, white forward Chandler Parsons also held tight, leaving no room for Yiyang to pass the ball.
Seeing that the two outside partners couldn't catch the ball, Yiyang didn't think much and directly asked Nowitzki to step forward to cover. Doing this is a good way to create opportunities for yourself and Dirk.
Howard's eyes lit up, that guy Yiyang was finally coming by himself! He's gearing up, it's time to show off his skills!
Since Asik is on the court, Howard's position on the court is actually the fourth position. He followed Nowitzki and pounced out, leaving Asik alone at the basket to guard. If Yiyang breaks through, he will pursue him. If Nowitzki shoots, he can interfere in time.
On first block, Nowitzki made a pass outside the three-point line. Yiyang did not pass the ball, but stepped on the ground to accelerate!
"Don't try to succeed!" Howard followed Yiyang excitedly and chased after him. Although Howard's speed couldn't match Yiyang's, even if he was a few steps slower, he could still use his own bounce to complete the chase.
Yiyang reached the three-second zone and raised the basketball with both hands! Howard didn't think much, he stood up from the ground and weaved a big net in the air!
However, Howard "flyed" and found that he was alone in the air. Yiyang didn't take off, he just made a fake shot!
"God damn bastard!" Before Howard could curse him, Yiyang bumped into Howard, who was starting to fall.
Under Yiyang's precise control, the basketball missed the backboard and fell into the net. Howard, on the other hand, received his second foul of the game early!
"Defensive foul, the goal is valid, the Mavericks will add a penalty!" When the referee announced this decision to the technical table, everyone on the Rockets jumped up.
McHale rushed directly to the referee to argue, while Howard grabbed the basketball with one hand and refused to hand it over to the referee.
"Anyone with a clear eye can see that it was the guy who bumped into him!" Although Howard was smiling, the way he was shouting was enough to show that he was very angry now.
"If this is not a foul, then many of James' shots cannot be considered a foul, right?" The referee's words left the Rockets generals speechless. What Harden likes most is "touching porcelain". how? Only your own players are allowed to touch it, no one else is allowed to touch it.
"Damn..." Howard gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Take the ball, big man, you can afford to lose in the game." Yiyang pointed to the basketball in Howard's hand. Looking at Yiyang's arrogant look, Howard was really angry.
"You can only rely on such dirty tricks to gain sympathy." Although he committed a foul, Howard did not intend to spare Yiyang's words.
Yiyang did not respond to Howard, but walked up to take the ball directly from Howard's hands. But just when Yiyang was approaching Howard, Howard deliberately passed the ball into Yiyang's face.
Even though Yiyang's reaction speed is faster than ordinary people, Yiyang is still unable to react at such a close distance. The basketball hit Yiyang directly in the face, exactly the same way Howard hit Tony Allen a few minutes ago! Only this time, Howard went even further. In Yiyang's words, this is a slap in the face!
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect you to like to catch the ball with your face." Howard spread his hands with an innocent expression.
Yiyang clenched his fists, but as usual, he held back. He wanted to use basketball to deal with this stupid big guy. This is a professional arena, not the streets of the Wood District. Let basketball speak here, not fists.
"I remember you, Dwight." Yiyang warned Howard, his eyes becoming fierce.
If it ends here, it's over. But Howard, who took advantage, was not satisfied. After Yiyang warned Howard with words, Howard smiled contemptuously. "If you dare, try touching me, yellow dog!"
In English slang, dog is not a direct curse word. The word "dog" has different meanings depending on the context. It is not a big deal if good buddies call each other dog. Some people also add the word "dog" to their nicknames. But in a bad context, the word dog is no different from swearing in Chinese. At this time, Yiyang believed that Howard was not calling her brother. What's more, Howard also added the word "yellow" in front of it, which seemed ordinary but was now full of humiliation.
Yiyang smiled and turned his head as if he didn't want to do anything. Howard is now sure that the Chinese defender is a fucking softie!
Just when everyone thought the incident was over, Yiyang, who was smiling just a second ago, suddenly took a big step forward and punched fiercely! Howard subconsciously used his hand to block it, but Yiyang's fist still rubbed Howard's arm in the middle of his face!
Fortunately, Howard blocked it with his hand, taking some of the force out of Yiyang's fist. Otherwise, Howard might be bleeding from the face now.
Seeing this situation, players from both sides rushed forward! Iguodala immediately pulled Yiyang away. Tony Allen rushed up to argue with Howard, quite intent on joining the fight.
Players from both sides huddled together, and Howard wanted to counterattack, but Yiyang was already far away.
In fact, Howard really didn't expect Yiyang to dare to take action. After all, I put my weight here. And after so many years of hard work, Yiyang's figure is only considered well-proportioned among defenders, far from being strong.
What Howard didn't know was that there were more than one or two big men in the Wood area who were beaten down by Yiyang.
Yiyang raised his head high and stared at Howard with no sign of weakness, showing no fear.
You can bully me once or twice, but don't go too far. Yiyang was already unhappy when Howard threatened to defeat the Mavericks the day before yesterday. After enduring until now, Yiyang feels that he has done his best to be kind and righteous.
Thanks to the efforts of both players, the conflict between Howard and Yiyang finally subsided. Judging from the result, Howard received a punch and was defeated.
Things outside basketball have been resolved, and now Yiyang just wants to wait for the referee's decision.
If he had not been expelled, Yiyang would have continued to use methods on the basketball court to make Howard feel what true despair is!
"Haha, if you ask me, you did a damn good job! This incident tells everyone in this alliance that you must not mess with that taciturn Chinese! He will definitely make you unable to eat. Let's go." Barkley on the commentary table showed his exaggerated smile.
