One Guard
Chapter 551: Georgia Devil
﹄New Bayi Chinese Website—﹃ An online novel reading website worth collecting
Through the narrow oval glass of the plane, Mayo had gradually seen clearly what the city looked like below the clouds. Although he only stayed here for a year, Mayo still couldn't get enough of Dallas' nightclubs. Of course, Mayo also missed the time when he and Yiyang were known as the "strongest duo". At that time, when he appeared on the streets of Dallas, he was always in trouble.
But now that he is back in Dallas, Mayo has no special emotions in his heart. He doesn't quite understand those players who go berserk when they meet their old club, such as Iguodala. To him, it doesn't matter whether he is his old club or not. The Dallas Mavericks are just an extremely ordinary opponent.
Unlike Mayo, Georgia center Zaza Pachulia was very excited when the plane was about to land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
After getting off the plane, Pachulia saw the Yiyang poster hung by Adidas outside the airport. Looking at Yiyang on the poster, Pachulia compared his hand to a "pistol", aimed at Yiyang's head, and pulled the "trigger."
Proud Chinese, today I will let you see the power of role players like us!
Against the Milwaukee Bucks, this didn't put Carlisle feeling much pressure. As long as the Mavericks perform normally, there will be no problem in defeating their opponents.
Although the Bucks have the "Greek Monster" who makes Carlisle drool, the Greek still needs room to grow. Now he cannot cause trouble to the Mavericks on his own.
Apart from Antetokounmpo, the Bucks' biggest threat is Brandon Knight, the No. 8 pick in 2011. This season, after transferring from the Pistons to the Bucks, Knight averaged 17.9 points and 4.6 assists per game. There is no doubt that he is now the most trustworthy player on the entire Bucks team.
But Carlisle has no worries about this. No matter how good Knight played before, he will not be able to perform well when he encounters Yiyang. As for O.J. Mayo, who had a highlight performance last season, Carlisle didn't even put that guy on the threat list. How bad Mayo played, Carlisle had enough experience last season!
Before the start of this game, Old Carter was still fully prepared. But it seems that this guy has more fighting spirit than before. Even though Carter's average playing time is only about twenty minutes per game now, he will do his best every minute he is on the court.
After talking to Yiyang yesterday, Carter was even more motivated. He doesn't want to hug anyone's lap and win the championship. Carter hopes that he can also contribute to the team. That way, he can embrace the O'Brien Cup with peace of mind.
"Okay guys,
There is nothing to say about this game. The Milwaukeeans are going for the No. 1 pick, what about us? Our goal is the championship! I will not accept defeat in this game. Victory is your only choice. Are you clear? ? "
"Clear, boss!" the players responded loudly and neatly, causing Carlisle to nod with satisfaction. Nine consecutive victories seem to be close at hand.
As it turns out, the game was pretty much what people had expected. At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks launched an 8-0 offensive attack. The Bucks' defense was nothing more than a thin piece of paper in front of Yiyang, and it could be easily broken through with just a slight poke.
Although Bucks second-year center John Henson is also a defensive big man with tall height and long arms, there is still a big gap between him and Gobert. Yiyang scored on Henson's head again and again, beating this guy completely at a loss.
But Yiyang didn't know that off the court, a pair of vicious eyes like an eagle were already staring at him. Zaza Pachulia is gearing up, waiting for head coach Larry Drew to substitute him on the field.
After 5 minutes of play, the Mavericks had established a 10-point lead. I have to admit that the Bucks' strength is really poor. People even joked that if this team is put into the NCAA March Madness Championship, whether they can last or not will be the last.
Although this is just a joke among fans. After all, there is still a big gap between professional teams and college teams, but this joke also reflects the extremely weak strength of the Bucks.
Since the game went very smoothly, Carlisle also wanted to replace the main players and rest in advance. So after gaining a 10-point lead, Carlisle replaced Gobert, Marion, Nick Young and Carter. He still left Yiyang on the court and continued to play with the second team to avoid an accident like capsizing in the ditch. With Yiyang here, the situation will definitely be stable.
On the Bucks' side, John Henson's defense put Drew to shame. That guy obviously had such excellent physical condition, but he was fooled around by a Chinese who was only 1.93 meters tall. So Larry Drew, a black coach who was expected to break his career winning percentage record, made a big move and replaced him with the more experienced Pachulia!
Pachulia showed an elusive smile, Yiyang, your performance time is over!
Who is Zaza Pachulia? The 43rd overall pick in the second round of 2003, commonly known as the tail end. In the first two years of his career, he did not perform impressively with the Magic and Bucks, so he drifted to the Atlanta Hawks.
In the 0607 season, the Georgian played the peak season of his career in Atlanta, averaging 12 points and 6 rebounds per game. But at that time, the Hawks were an out-and-out weak team, and the statistics produced by weak teams were often not very convincing.
After that season, the Hawks began to gradually get on the right track, and Pachulia's data unsurprisingly continued to decline year by year.
Until this season, Pachulia returned to Milwaukee and started the tenth season of his career. But in the past ten seasons, Pachulia has left nothing to remember.
But this guy has a trait that makes a small number of fans remember the name of this Georgia center. This characteristic is that this guy Pachulia has no bottom line!
Since his rookie season, this seemingly elegant white center has been notoriously dirty when playing. Whether they are shrimp soldiers, crab generals or super centers like Yao Ming and O'Neal, they have all been poisoned by Pachulia.
The biggest difference between this guy and others is that he not only fouls intentionally, but is also very willing to hurt others intentionally.
So at this moment, when Yiyang controlled the ball and appeared outside the three-point line, all Pachulia could think about was how to prevent that damn Chinese from standing up again!
Naturally, Yiyang didn't know Pachulia's dirty thoughts, otherwise he would definitely strike first. But Yiyang is not a god, and he does not have the power of a prophet. So Yiyang easily got rid of Knight, who was not very defensive, and headed straight into the Bucks penalty area.
Antetokounmpo wanted to cover up the defense, but just as he opened his long arms, Yiyang had already passed through. His speed was so fast that he didn't even leave the Bucks a chance to make amends.
Just like that, Yiyang went straight into the penalty area. There was only Pachulia left between him and the basket.
Pachulia, who is 2.11 meters tall, still has a certain height under the basket. Yiyang did not intend to go head-to-head with this guy, but chose to use a throw to end the offense. Throwing is the best and most effective way for a small man to deal with a big man.
Pachulia actively took a step forward, seemingly wanting to block Yiyang's throw. But in fact, he walked to Yiyang with unusual steps.
Yiyang didn't know what Pachulia wanted to do, but the experienced Carter could see the Georgian's evil thoughts at a glance! Back then, Carter himself was stepped on three times by the notorious villain Bruce Bowen, and these three footsteppings almost ruined Carter's career. Therefore, Carter hates such actions very much!
"Watch your step!" Carter yelled, causing Yiyang, who had just thrown, to subconsciously look at the soles of his feet. No matter how you look at it, Yiyang is surprised to find that Pachulia guy has put his feet underneath!
Yiyang hurriedly adjusted his footing and was spared. If Carter didn't remind himself, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"What's wrong with you!?" Yiyang has always been very resistant to things that hurt people intentionally. After landing, he didn't give Pachulia face and directly cursed.
But Pachulia didn't respond and turned back to prepare for the baseline kick, as if nothing happened. Yes, that was a "normal" shot-blocking action, what could be wrong with it!
"Damn it, you better be careful, you idiot!" Pachulia heard someone scolding herself, but when she looked up, she found that Carter was following him reluctantly.
"What does this have to do with you, old guy." Pachulia responded angrily. There are still people like Yiyang in this world. It's really a ghost!
"Anyway, don't let me see you using your brain again, otherwise I'll make you look good!" Carter dropped the harsh words and immediately turned around to defend himself. And Pachulia's devilish eyes fell on the back of old Carter.
After the game, everything returned to normal. The Bucks continue to take a beating and the Mavericks continue to perform. But Pachulia has not forgotten the annoying Yiyang and the nosy Carter. As mentioned before, Pachulia is a person with no bottom line. He doesn't care who he attacks, even if this guy is a highly respected legend.
In the eighth minute of the first quarter, Antetokounmpo failed to hit a mid-range shot. Gobert grabbed a defensive rebound and the Mavericks got another offensive opportunity.
At this time, Darren Collison is already ready in front of the technical table. He will replace Yiyang after the next dead ball. Because the Mavericks already led by 13 points at this time, Carlisle was not so worried that the Bucks would fight back.
Yiyang controlled the ball and advanced, but the Bucks' defense was still full of loopholes. Carter went to the left corner and raised his hand for the ball. Yiyang saw this opportunity and passed the ball hard, and the basketball immediately came into Carter's hands.
Carter's fast running and Yiyang's extremely fast passing gave Mayo no time to react. At this time, Carter, who was in the left corner, got an open shot!
In the corner, Carter leaped high to take a shot. He must seize this open opportunity no matter what.
Just when Carter reached the highest point and was about to take action, Pachulia suddenly appeared in front of Carter. And the Georgian has a trademark evil smile on his face...
"Pachulia's defense was very active, but he still failed to block the shot!" The commentators thought that Pachulia was actively covering up the ball. In fact, this guy was not trying to block the shot.
"Damn it!" Carter secretly yelled, feeling suddenly cold in his heart. He still wanted to change his footing, but his body had already started to fall and it was too late!
After landing, Carter's foot stomped hard on Pachulia's instep. His center of gravity was unstable, his ankle twisted suddenly, and a heartbreaking pain suddenly surged into his heart.
Carter's eyes turned red instantly, not because of the pain, but because the scene of standing on the podium and embracing the O'Brien Cup seemed to be broken...
