One Guard

Rudy Gobert's name is popular across the United States. It is indeed a very magical thing for a rookie to be able to resist the Spurs' inside attack in the three-second zone. Although Duncan's general condition today is also a reason, this cannot completely erase Gobert's excellent performance on the defensive end.

And Yiyang, who scored 15 points in a single quarter and almost single-handedly supported the Mavericks' offense, instantly became a topical figure again. You know, Yiyang only scored 22 points in the last game. Before the game started, Yiyang was still a butcher who only knew how to hurt people with malicious intent. But now, the super defender who was so powerful on the court is back in front of people.

"The combination of Yi and Gobert is very surprising. One dominates the defense and the other dominates the offense. This can't help but remind us of the famous inside and outside combinations in history. Maybe, these two guys Yi and Gobert , can you also write your own name on it?”

In this era when the whole world is building giants, in this era when inside players are about to wither. That guy Cuban actually went against the trend and formed such a traditional inside and outside combination.

Facts have proved that there is no so-called "trend" in the world of basketball, only players whose abilities do not meet the requirements.

"Rudy, you continue to play in the second quarter. The task is the same as before. Watch Tim Duncan! You did a very good job just now. You just need to keep it up. Tell the old guys on the Spurs that our You can't just enter the penalty area if you want!" Carlisle used all his praises on Gobert without hesitation. For young players, appropriate encouragement may have unexpected positive effects.

Gobert is now more confident and the initial nervousness is gone. Although Duncan is a legend, he is still a human being, a human being living on this earth. Since we are human, we will inevitably make mistakes and miss. He, like millions of others, would feel very uncomfortable under tight defense.

As for Yiyang, Carlisle only said one sentence to him. "Continue to attack and defeat the Spurs in advance!"

As soon as the game started in the second quarter, Yiyang continued his terrifying firepower. A sudden jump shot from outside the three-point line made Parker unable to defend.

Although the shot was sudden and far away from the three-point line, the basketball still passed through the net, and Yiyang's hand felt hot.

Seeing him score goals at will, Mike Breen couldn't help but think of Stephen Curry. This was the second time in this game that he saw the shadow of Curry in Yiyang.

Maybe Curry, a unique and powerful opponent, will be the key to Yiyang's further evolution.

As soon as Yiyang came up, he wanted to widen the point difference to 20 points. Now, the Spurs are only 2 points away from being 20 points behind.

Soon, Duncan tried to score from the mid-range position. This old fritter also knows that he can't get the slightest advantage in the three-second zone today.

However, even in the middle distance, Duncan still did not escape Gobert's "magic grasp". Gobert stretched out his long arms and pounced on Duncan, which still caused great interference to the "Stone Buddha"'s shooting.

In last season's Western Conference Finals, Duncan did whatever he wanted in the Mavericks' three-second zone. It was precisely because the Mavericks could not contain Duncan's performance in the paint that they were unfortunately eliminated.

But this season, Duncan's dominance in the Mavericks' paint has completely disappeared. After a summer of hard work, the Mavericks have made up for their previous weaknesses. If the two teams meet again in the Western Conference Finals this season, the outcome will most likely be completely different.

The Spurs missed consecutively, while the Mavericks scored consecutively under the leadership of Yiyang. This time, Yiyang's pull-up jump shot after the breakthrough left Parker still helpless as he watched the basketball go into the net. Is this the first time in this game that Parker has experienced despair? He couldn't remember clearly.

The second quarter has just begun, and the Spurs are already 20 points behind the Mavericks, and Yiyang's personal score has also reached 20.

Just like Gobert said, Yiyang is an Avenger. In the past few days, he has been slandered by the media and treated as a cash cow by the "San Antonio Post". If it were not operated by Adidas, Yiyang would not have made any response at all.

Because everything Yiyang is doing now is the best response to those damn voices!

Bill Duffy and Adidas must be very happy now. As long as Yiyang performs well, all doubts will be answered.

Being 20 points behind was something Popovich didn't expect before the game started. The Mavericks have lost three games in a row recently and are in very average shape. But as soon as they arrived in San Antonio and stepped into the ATT Center, these guys were as excited as if they had been pumped.

In the following games, the Spurs' offense still failed to improve. Although Danny Green's magical three-point shooting helped the Spurs recover a little bit of the score, it was still unable to change the situation of the game.

And Yiyang did not stop after scoring 20 points. This guy's desire to score and shooting touch today made scoring as easy as chopping melons and vegetables for him.

From December to January last season, it was the climax of Yiyang's scoring explosion. His career-high single-game record of 60 points was the result of this period.

Today, Yiyang seemed to be in a crazy scoring state again. This guard, who was only 0.1 points away from winning the scoring title last season, is very troublesome once he starts scoring mode.

The game has been a cycle between the Spurs' offensive failure and Yiyang's offensive success. When the game reached the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, Yiyang had already scored the second-highest score of 53 points in his career, and the Spurs were already lagging behind. After more than 25 minutes, Popovich, who was still standing on the sidelines and yelling, suddenly relaxed and fell to the bench.

An eagle-eyed ESPN on-site photographer spotted this scene and immediately gave the exhausted Popovich a close-up. Once the most famous coach in the NBA sits on the sidelines like this, there are only two possibilities. One is that the Spurs are destined to win the game, and the other is that the Spurs are destined to lose the game.

Sure enough, after another dead ball on the court, Popovich replaced all the main players with a wave of his hand. This stubborn old coach had to give up the game under Yiyang's powerful firepower!

Seeing this scene, Bill Duffy and Adidas executives, who were watching the game at home, waved their fists excitedly. Yiyang defeated the Spurs with a super performance of 53 points and 11 assists. This was definitely a very convincing game. In this way, their subsequent sanctions against the "San Antonio Post" will be extremely smooth and easy!

Seeing that Popovich withdrew all the main players, Carlisle naturally called down the main players with confidence.

When Yiyang walked off the court, Carlisle asked him a question as always.

"Do you want to play a little longer? Get sixty or seventy points or something."

However, Yiyang's answer was the same as before.

"No, we have already won." Yiyang would never increase his data by "brushing" because he thought it was meaningless. No matter how good personal data is, it is all about winning. Now that victory has been achieved, there is no need for that person's data to continue to grow.

Carlisle smiled and shook his head. Many people would never have the chance to score such a high score in their lifetime, but Yiyang refused to do so every time. But, this can be considered one of his advantages. It would be really troublesome if a brush was to be the star player.

The main players of both sides left the field, and the fans at the ATT Center also left early one after another. There was no way they could continue to watch their team being slaughtered, especially when their opponent was still Yiyang.

"It's over, it's all over. I think Yi must have successfully moved him up several places on the blacklist of Spurs fans. Haha, but he was very happy to do it. With 53 points, Yi's super performance made him The Mavericks ended their long three-game losing streak. After the suspension crisis, the Dallas Mavericks will officially get back on track!"

Seeing this scene in front of him, Mike Brin felt very admired. The Chinese did not get overwhelmed by public opinion, but silently turned these things into motivation, and then it was about to explode!

As for today's other star Gobert, I believe that after tonight, fans across the United States will know his name.

The Frenchman used his excellent defense today to hold Duncan's shooting percentage to 40%. Although Duncan still scored 21 points, this was all due to a high number of shots. Duncan's offensive efficiency today certainly cannot meet Popovich's requirements.

It is very difficult for a rookie to be able to defend to this point. When Gobert was destined to ask for special training with Yiyang in the summer, his success was actually predetermined.

The newspaper owner of the "San Antonio Post" is very anxious now because he has printed articles related to Yiyang in advance and is preparing to make a lot of money after the Spurs win the game.

But tomorrow, his newspaper's sales will most likely see a "cliff-like" decline.

When a player scores 53 points, all words are pale in front of him. Now, this boss, who has tasted some sweetness because of "black" Yiyang, can only pray to God over and over again...
