One Guard

Yiyang's shocking long-distance ground pass made the local commentators in Washington swallow their saliva. Before the game started, they believed that Wall, who was in excellent form, would have a high chance of defeating Yiyang, but for now, Yiyang still seemed to be controlling the game as he pleased.

Wall looked at Yiyang, who was fighting in his own half and had yet to leave the three-point line, and then at Iguodala, who had just landed a dunk and was returning to defense. With such a long distance and so many people in between, how did that guy Yiyang find the gap to pass the ball?

"Sometimes, this kind of lucky ball can really make people feel amazing, haha." In the end, the local commentators in Washington could only use two dry laughs to cover up the embarrassment of the scene.

The passing of this ball is indeed a bit weird. If it was passed by someone else, it may indeed have a lot of luck. But if this ball came from Yiyang, it could not be due to luck. Because Yiyang is a person who doesn't believe in luck. The premise for him to do something is to have a certain degree of confidence.

Yiyang blew up the entire field with just one pass, and countless fans who came to the Verizon Center to watch the game let out their own cheers. At this time, Washington no longer seems to belong to Wall's territory. Yiyang, who came from afar, has occupied this special zone!

"Pay attention to your matchups and give me man-to-man defense!" Wizards coach Randy Whitman yelled angrily on the sidelines. He didn't want to see Yiyang play against the visitors again.

Wall picked up the ball again and headed toward the Mavericks half court, but the guy waiting for him with open arms at this time seemed to be no longer Yiyang, but an out-and-out monster!

Ariza went through several off-ball pick-and-rolls and reverse runs, but was unable to get rid of Iguodala's relentless defense. No matter where Bradley Beal runs in this half, Tony Allen is always right behind him.

Wall now has no target to pass the ball to, but Yiyang's tight defense makes it difficult for him to break into the inside. There was no other way, so the No. 1 pick in 10 years had no choice but to pass the ball to the inside and let Polish center Gortat try to hit the basket.

Although Gortat is not a super scorer, he can average 13 points per game and is an indispensable inside attack point for the Wizards. Gortat's touch is softer than that of a big man. Faced with Dalembert's marking, the "Polish Hammer" jumped hook with his left hand.

Gortat's hook left Dalembert helpless, and the Haitian veteran could only watch the basketball fall into the net. The Wizards scored and Wall was relieved. This goal not only gave the Wizards two points, but also stabilized their morale.

Seeing the Wizards starting to play the Mavericks inside, Carlisle naturally would not sit idly by. He stood up, as one would expect, and walked over to Gobert.

"Boy, go to the technical table and prepare. Next time the ball is dead, you will play. Remember, you only have one mission."

"You're going to kill Gortat, right? Don't worry, boss, leave it to me." Before Carlisle finished speaking, Gobert already knew what his mission was.

Carlisle smiled with satisfaction and patted Gobert on the shoulder. The Mavericks' strongest lineup hasn't been revealed yet!

Just when Carlisle and Gobert were explaining things, Yiyang had already used his breakthrough to cause Gortat a foul on the court.

Although Gortat's mobility allows him to cope with the defender's pick-and-roll attack, Gortat, who cannot jump high enough and is not strong enough, may not be able to stop the opponent's defender's impact at the basket. After Yiyang "threw" his body high, Gortat had no way to touch the basketball in Yiyang's hand. In desperation, he had to use fouls to stop Yiyang's attack.

The referee blew the whistle and Gortat raised his hand to indicate a foul. Yiyang high-fived his teammates and then stood on the free throw line.

Although Yiyang was playing away from home today, when he made free throws, the fans did not make much noise to disturb him. Today, the Chinese fans who came to the Verizon Center Arena were really neutral. But that’s fine,

A quiet environment is more conducive to free throw shooting.

On the first free throw, the basketball went hollow into the net, without any suspense. At the same time, an electronic buzzer sounds, indicating that there will be personnel changes on the field.

Gortat saw Dalembert, who was already out of breath after playing for only a few minutes, leaving his side. The Pole suddenly felt cold. Could it be that

Sure enough, within a second, the tall and long-armed Gobert stood beside him! Although the French rookie is still just a rookie, since his battle with the Spurs, his defensive power is now well known throughout the league. Gortat shook his head. Does this already difficult game need to be more difficult?

Yiyang still made the second free throw. In the free throw session, Yiyang still rarely has accidents.

6 to 7, even after Yiyang made two free throws, the Mavericks were still one point behind. But oddly enough, the pressure is now all on the Wizards. Even when they are in the lead, they are extremely unconfident. Perhaps, this is the deterrence exuded by a strong team.

The Wizards players know very well that the current lead means nothing at all. As long as they are stunned, the Mavericks will overtake the score in one fell swoop and then widen the gap!

Therefore, no one on the Wizards dared to be stunned, which is why their pressure is doubled now. The Wizards players have to do everything they can to protect this small 1-point advantage.

But now, when Dalembert becomes Gobert, the Mavericks' only weakness on the defensive end has disappeared. Wall looked around and saw no opportunities, only endless despair.

Helpless, Wall planned to seek opportunities outside the three-point line. After all, the reason why the Wizards are one point ahead of the Mavericks is actually the three-pointer that Bill hit at the beginning of the game.

Wall handed the ball to Bill, but then started running to look for opportunities. Wall did not hesitate and directly tried to get rid of Yiyang by going around the baseline.

When the two sides ran to the basket, the overcrowded penalty area made it difficult for Yiyang to continue to stay close to Wall. Gortat's sudden pick-and-roll also delayed Yiyang for a while.

Wall quickly went to the left corner, received the pass from Bill, and shot directly!

This ball seems to be completely open, and Wall's shot feels very good. Not surprisingly, it should bring three points to the Wizards!

However, as soon as Wall's ball was thrown, the accident happened.

Yiyang stretched his body in the air in a volleyball smashing posture. Of course, his purpose was not to play volleyball, but to slap Wall's shot away!

Wall didn't know when Yiyang got rid of Gortat. Even if he catches the ball and shoots, can't he escape from Yiyang's grasp?

To his surprise, the basketball was blown into the stands without the ball. Yiyang landed. Because he jumped too high, it was difficult to control his center of gravity. After landing, Yiyang staggered a few steps and was about to rush into the audience.

At this time, it was Wall who pulled Yiyang from behind to prevent him from falling.

Seeing this, the fans applauded Wall's behavior. Even though he had just been blocked by others, Wall still only targeted the ball and not the person. If Pachulia had scored from outside the three-point line instead, he might have "helped" Yiyang to send him to the crowd of fans.

After the dunk was interfered with and caused a dunk, Wall's three-point shot was blocked by volleyball again. Yiyang remained silent and stared at Wall.

Wall shook his head. Once Yiyang gets serious, he is really unreasonable.

But Wall is also a little lucky that at least he is still the opponent who can make Yiyang serious.

This block demoralized the Wizards. Although they still retain the offensive ball rights, they no longer have the same momentum as when they first attacked.

This attack finally came to an end with Ariza's three-pointer.

"Don't give up, we must first stabilize our position on the defensive end!" Randy Whitman shook his head helplessly. Although the game had only started a few minutes, he already smelled danger.

Yiyang no longer relied on passing to win. After breaking through Wall with a huge arc, he took a step back from the mid-range position to gain space for himself, and then shot a jumper.

Every movement of Yiyang was smooth and easy. All Wall could do was to raise his arms and try his best to interfere with Yiyang's sight. But that desperate voice still sounded behind Wall.

"Brush." ​​The net rolled and the basketball fell into the net. The expression on Yiyang's face did not waver at all, and he quickly retreated after landing.

He is like an elegant silent killer, cold-blooded and ruthless, who can kill people quietly and elegantly without blinking an eye.

Wall couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine. In just a few minutes, this was the second time Yiyang made Wall feel this way. This guy has become really scary

8 to 7, the Mavericks finally took the lead. Although they are only 1 point ahead, everyone knows that the game will become more difficult for the Wizards. ,

Then Wall, who was eager for success, played a little too impatiently. He used his stronger body to lean on Yiyang to force a layup, and he was about to succeed.

However, Gobert's tower rose from behind Yiyang. With him protecting Yi Yang, no one can score easily.

As a result, Wall was unfortunately blocked for the second time in a row. Iguodala caught the basketball that was blown out and immediately handed it to Yiyang.

Yiyang's body had completely relaxed at this time and was no longer as tense as before. After halftime, he handed the ball to Nowitzki who came up from the high post. But as soon as the ball was passed, Yiyang immediately accelerated his position and reached a 45° angle to the left side of the basket outside the three-point line. .

Nowitzki immediately scored a point and another beautiful pass and cut. Yiyang and Dirk are indeed old partners who have been together for four years.

After catching the basketball, Yiyang looked at his toes, then held the ball with both hands and wanted to shoot directly!

The emotional Wall had lost the ability to think calmly at this time. He didn't think much and flew directly to Yiyang. Even if this ball cannot be blocked, it must still interfere with the shooting!

However, when Wall crossed in front of Yiyang, Yiyang did not take off. With desperate eyes, Wall saw Yiyang starting to dribble past him. Just now, Yiyang didn't really hold the ball with both hands, he just made a fake gesture of worshiping Buddha!

Yiyang rushed inside quickly and took a big step to the left with the ball. Gortat, who was guarding the basket, immediately moved, but in the next step, Yiyang stepped to the right.

A European step with a huge change of direction allowed Yiyang, who was as fast as lightning, to "penetrate" Gortat's body.

After getting rid of Gortat, the unguarded basket seemed to have opened its arms to Yiyang.

Instead of a layup, Yiyang jumped up and dunked with both hands to score!

The sight of Yiyang passing by Wall and Gortat to dunk after adding a European step to dunk made the Chinese fans at the scene jump to their feet.

The atmosphere of the whole court was ignited by Yiyang's dunk. Reggie Miller roared on the commentary table and the fans danced in celebration.

And what about Yiyang? After the dunk landed, he looked at Wall expressionlessly, and then retreated.

Yiyang was not joking when he said he wanted to have a good fight with Wall today. Until the end of the game, Wall never wanted to see a smile on Yiyang's face.

Are you mentally prepared to bear the pressure of being my opponent?

Yiyang, a ruthless killer, has undoubtedly handed the cold dagger to Wall's heart.

At this time, Wall was already stunned by Yiyang's various performances. People don't talk much when they're cruel, so that's him, right?
