One Guard

Yiyang scored 53 points, and the Mavericks defeated the Spurs with a huge advantage of 25 points. In this comeback that ended their three-game losing streak, Yiyang and Mavericks played beautifully.

When interviewed by reporters after the game, Popovich shook his head at the camera. "What else can I do? Yi's touch is really too hot. Do you want me to complete a few transactions during the timeout to deal with Yiyang?"

The old man was very angry about losing to the Mavericks. He was angry not just because of the loss in this game, but because the Spurs' advantage in last season's Western Conference finals seemed to be gone. He is really worried that if he meets the Mavericks again in this year's Western Conference finals, the outcome will most likely be completely different from last season.

The old man knows very well what level the Spurs' defense is this year. Their goal is to get revenge on James in the Finals. But Yiyang was able to score 53 points under such a defense. The strength of this Chinese defender was simply too strong for Xiao Xu.

The day after the game, the San Antonio Post still published a "shame" article on Yiyang. They called Yiyang just a coward who relied on "performance" to get high scores, pointing out that Yiyang repeatedly committed fouls during the game and sent himself to the free throw line.

However, no one buys that newspaper that is full of nonsense anymore. The sales of the "San Antonio Post" showed an expected cliff-like drop because their point of view was simply untenable in front of a score of 53.

Yiyang scored a total of 9 points yesterday by relying on free throws, but even if those 9 points are removed, 44 points in a single game is still a very scary statistic. The black spots of the "San Antonio Post" are not convincing at all, and even local fans don't buy it.

So, don’t take Yiyang under the knife. Many facts have proved that by standing on the opposite side of Yiyang, you may be able to gain temporary benefits, but in the end you will definitely fall into an abyss.

The reduction in sales was enough to cause headaches for newspaper owners. Later, Adidas also publicly satirized the Post's funny article on its official Twitter, which undoubtedly made the newspaper's prospects even worse.

The influence of Adidas cannot be compared to that of a local post. At this point, the "San Antonio Post" became a well-known laughing stock in the basketball circle under the "publicity" of Adidas. Fans in San Antonio viewed the Post as a disgrace to them.

This newspaper's behavior of making money by "blackmailing" Yiyang seems to be the end of it.

Defeat the Spurs, end a three-game losing streak, break doubts about poor form with a 53-point performance in a single game, and bring the "San Antonio Post" back to the edge of bankruptcy overnight... In just one night, Yiyang changed The current situation between himself and the Mavericks is not good. It seems that San Antonio is really a good place to be famous. Of course, you have to be able to beat the Spurs first.

After defeating the Spurs, the Mavericks, who are back on track, once again swept the league. On December 18, Yiyang scored 28 points and 14 assists, Nowitzki scored 20 points, and the Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies 105-91. It is worth mentioning that in this game, Tony Allen also scored 16 points against his old club. With the help of Yiyang, this perimeter defender also seemed to show some offensive talent. The Mavericks won two consecutive games.

On December 20, facing the Toronto Raptors invading from the north, Yiyang and "Little Steel Cannon" Lowry staged a point guard battle.

Kyle Lowry, a former Rockets player who is very familiar to Chinese fans, has made significant progress this season. He has become an indispensable soul of the Raptors. Today, Lowry also performed very well, with 20 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, a quite comprehensive statistic.

It's a pity that the Mavericks' performance of three players scoring 20 points and five players scoring in double figures made Lowry's data worthless. Yiyang scored 29 points and 13 assists. While scoring high points himself, he also helped Nowitzki score 23 points and Iguodala scored 22 points. The Mavericks once again performed a "Big Three" style performance. The three helped the Mavericks defeat the Raptors 109-101 at home.

In one week, the Mavericks allowed themselves to complete the transformation from three consecutive losses to three consecutive wins.

The Mavericks are back on a winning streak, and pundits around the world are asking a question. “Who on earth can stop Dallasites from continuing to wreak havoc.”

On December 21, the Phoenix Suns were considered the team most likely to interrupt the Mavericks' winning streak. First, the Mavericks are playing back-to-back away games. Secondly, the Suns' fast-paced game will most likely wear down the Mavericks in back-to-back games.

The results of it? The result was that Yiyang scored 38 points on the two star guards Bledsoe and Dragic, and sent out 14 assists, crumpling the Suns' defense into a ball of waste paper, and then throwing it into the trash next to him. in the barrel.

123 to 108, the Dallas Mavericks staged a bloody massacre without mercy in Phoenix. They held the Suns' three-point shooting percentage to 17%, while they shot a super high three-point shooting percentage of 50%. On both ends of the offense and defense, the Suns were blown to pieces. The Mavericks won four games in a row, and those who thought the Suns could stop the Mavericks became a joke.

Therefore, in the game before Christmas, when the Mavericks played against their old enemy the Rockets again, and Yiyang met his enemy Howard again, no expert dared to stand up and say that the Rockets could end the Mavericks' winning streak. After all, during this period, too many people have been slapped in the face by the Mavericks and Yiyang, and no one wants to let their reputation be tarnished again.

"Although there is no James, I am very confident that we can win at home. We will use a big victory to present a Christmas gift to the fans." Howard said before the game started.

Recently, due to James Harden being unable to play due to injury, Dwight Howard seems to have found some of the joy of excelling in the Magic.

In the last game, Howard led the team against the Pistons with a single core, scoring 35 points and 19 rebounds, and led the Rockets to victory. This game undoubtedly boosted Howard's confidence. He seemed to have found the glory of dominating the league's three-second zone. He knew that he was still the best star in the league before he reached his peak!

Therefore, Howard is very confident when facing the Mavericks again. The guy named Drummond from the Pistons can't stop him, so what can the Mavericks do to compete with them?

Facts have proved that Howard, who is in excellent condition, is indeed not something that Gobert, a rookie, can handle. In this game, Howard frequently dunked in the three-second zone, knocking the underweight Gobert around.

With 29 points and 15 rebounds, Howard once again scored "Warcraft" level data. But Howard also found in despair that even though he was in such excellent shape during the game, he still couldn't defeat that annoying Chinese!

Yiyang maintained his good condition today and scored ten more points than Howard in the game! 39 points and 15 assists. It is indeed not easy to score high points and also provide a high number of assists. In other words, most of the Mavericks' scoring came from Yiyang. Either he scores directly, or he scores with an assist.

Yiyang completely controlled the offensive end by himself. No matter how hard Howard tried, he could not get out of Yiyang's hands.

So far, the Mavericks have met the Rockets three times this season, and Yiyang has won the final victory each time. With or without Harden, regardless of whether Howard plays well or not, the Rockets just can't defeat the Mavericks and seem to be under a curse.

When being interviewed by reporters after the game, Howard almost couldn't help but cursed. Even though he has performed so well, he still cannot defeat his mortal enemy. This feeling is indeed worse than stepping on dog poop.

"That damn Chinese is just fucking targeting me on purpose!" This sentence rang in Howard's mind countless times. Fortunately, he finally held back and did not shout it out in front of the public. Otherwise, you will definitely get a reputation as someone who cannot afford to lose.

The "Happy Beast" only enjoyed one game, and was immediately knocked back to its original shape by Yiyang. The feud between these two people is getting deeper and deeper. As long as Howard is still in Houston, every time the Rockets meet the Mavericks, they are destined to be unhappy.

By defeating the Rockets, Yiyang not only defied the arrogant Howard, but also led the Mavericks to a five-game winning streak for the fourth time this season. The gold content of this five-game winning streak is still very high. Among them, the Spurs, Grizzlies and Rockets are all among the best in the Western Conference. But even though they played against strong opponents continuously, the Mavericks still stabilized their record.

This five-game winning streak has brought the Mavericks back to the top of the major sports media power index lists. Yiyang's explosive data of 37.4 points and 13.4 assists per game in these five games also allowed him to overtake James and return to the top of the MVP rankings.

The three-game losing streak and three-game suspension were just a small episode. Facts have proved that the Mavericks have never fallen from their strongest position this season.

After the battle with the Rockets ended, Yiyang and his Mavericks teammates could finally break away from the bloody fight and spend Christmas in peace.

"Thanks" to the seemingly "weak" lineup of the Mavericks, this year's NBA Christmas game still does not have the Mavericks' share. But don't think that the Mavericks players will be depressed because of this. Yiyang has not played in a Christmas game in the four seasons since he entered the league. He has always regarded this as his father in heaven blessing him. It’s a big holiday and no one wants to work. Fortunately, the league has not arranged for Yiyang to "work" during the holidays for four consecutive seasons.

As soon as the game against the Rockets ended that night, Yiyang drove home, picked up his mother and went straight to the airport.

This year, instead of celebrating the holidays in Dallas, they will go to Italy to experience a completely different Christmas Eve in a foreign country.

Of course, Yiyang took his mother to Italy not just for the holidays. Since returning from Brazil in the summer, Yiyang and Vignali seem to have not spent time together for a long time...

How are you? My Italian angel.
