One Guard

Two minutes ago, no Raptors fans or players thought there was any suspense in today's game. They had the omnipotent DeRozan and a huge 12-point advantage. And the Mavericks? All they have is Yiyang who is sick and unable to play, Gobert who has five fouls and dare not make too many moves in the penalty area, and Nou who is no longer as courageous as before and can hardly perform magically again. Witsky.

But that substitution, which seemed like a pointless struggle, broke the balance created in the first 46 minutes of the game...

"It's only one point away. I don't know how he did it. Even if I saw the whole process with my own eyes, I'm not sure how he did it!" Chris Webber thought about what he had just done. Incredible scenes, emergency jump shots, high throws, steals and dunks, pull-up three-pointers, worships and dazzling people...

It's not surprising that Yiyang can do these things. What's surprising is that he can still do these things when he is suffering from severe influenza!

As soon as Lowry stepped across the midfield line, he felt extremely nervous. This feeling of nervousness is even comparable to the level when he debuted in an NBA game for the first time.

He didn't dare to make any more mistakes or be intercepted by Yiyang again. Because Lowry knows that if this attack on the Raptors fails again, they will most likely see Yiyang create miracles at the Air Canada Center!

Lowry doesn't hate miracles, but such miracles must not happen to the Raptors!

Lowry stopped two steps away from the three-point line, and the "little steel cannon" did not dare to get closer. Once you get within the reach of Yiyang's arms, you are in danger of being tackled.

Yiyang didn't stick it up either. In fact, he didn't stick it up on purpose. Yiyang knew very well that with his current physical condition, defending Lowry personally would mean finding a breakthrough on his own.

But Lori didn't know this. He had been frightened by Yiyang's previous performance. In the last 28 seconds, the Raptors naturally want to fill up the attack time!

Lowry just controlled the ball outside the three-point line until the last 10 seconds of the 24-second attack time. DeRozan suddenly started to use Valanciunas' off-ball screen to get rid of Tony Allen and find an opening. .

After DeRozan reached the free throw line, Lowry started to pass the ball. It wasn't until the basketball was firmly caught by DeRozan's hands that Lowry breathed a sigh of relief. He passed the ball successfully, but Yiyang didn't steal himself!

DeRozan didn't hesitate and shot directly after receiving the ball. The position behind the free throw line is his hot shooting area. He must keep the victory and keep this night that belongs to him!

Tony Allen pressed hard and almost blocked the shot. Under Tony's interference, DeRozan shot again! Just when the Raptors fans fell into despair, the referee's rapid whistle saved them!

"Tony Allen made a defensive foul and the Raptors made two free throws!" the referee shouted from the technical stage with his hand gesture, and the whole audience cheered!

"What!?" Carlisle couldn't even believe his eyes. How dare they use such a method to prevent a miracle from happening! ?

But Tony Allen did not defend himself on the court. Through slow-motion replay, he did see DeRozan being hit in the palm by Tony Allen the moment he shot the basketball.

Tony Allen's defensive timing was good, but he seemed a little too excited and too aggressive. DeRozan stood on the free throw line amidst the applause of the fans. If he made two free throws, the Raptors would lead by 3 points. With a 3-point advantage, their chances of winning will increase a lot.

When DeRozan stepped to the free throw line, the audience immediately fell silent. At this time, no one dared to make a sound. They were afraid that if they made a sound, it would interfere with DeRozan's shooting.

DeRozan's heart was beating fast. Yiyang's performance just now still shocked him too much. What DeRozan is thinking about now is not how to win, but what to do if he loses due to Yiyang's magical performance!

Doubts like this at critical moments easily appear in young people.

Yiyang also experienced this during his rookie season.

DeRozan clapped the basketball in his hand. He was so nervous that he even trembled slightly. Take a deep breath and steady your hands, DeRozan shoots!

On the first shot, DeRozan felt something was wrong. When I released the ball, the action was too hard and not smooth due to tension. Fortunately, the basketball bounced on the rim a few times and then "crawled" in. DeRozan made a free throw!

The cheers started again. No matter what Yiyang did in just 2 minutes, DeRozan's 41-point performance in a single game is also worthy of praise.

After cheering for a few seconds, the arena fell silent again. If DeRozan also hits the second free throw, then the Raptors will really have a chance to win!

After scoring the first free throw, DeRozan felt more nervous. In this quiet environment, the only sounds he could hear were the beating of his own heart and the sound of the basketball hitting the wooden floor. This situation made DeRozan even more uneasy.

He really hoped that someone could make something different now, even if it was just a scream.

But nothing happened, the whole place was still silent, tens of thousands of eyes were focused on him, expecting him to break Yiyang's dream of creating a miracle.

I have to say that this kind of pressure is still too much for a second-year player.

On the second free throw, DeRozan's shot was still very stiff. But this time, he was out of luck. The basketball hit the left side of the basket and bounced outwards, and missed the free throw!

Like clockwork, Gobert took off the moment the basketball hit the frame and firmly caught the basketball. The moment he landed, the referee's whistle sounded, and Carlisle used up the last timeout of the game!

"In the last 7 seconds, whether the Mavericks will get their 21st consecutive victory here or ruin their winning streak here depends on these last 7 seconds! His performance in this game was very terrible. He took over the last 2 minutes and 47 seconds of the Mavericks. All the points within! If the Mavericks can win today, this will be the most glorious day in Yi’s career!”

Yiyang was still sweating after he came off the field. He slumped down directly on the bench and wiped his sweat with a towel. The sweat on his forehead was not due to fatigue, but mostly due to constipation.

After strenuous exercise, Yiyang's top-heavy feeling became more serious. But he shook his head hard and stared at Carlisle intently, waiting for his coach to lay out his tactics.

Carlisle didn't think so much anymore. Yiyang had already worked hard to the last few seconds, and he was worried that unnecessary things would only waste Yiyang's previous 2 minutes of effort.

"I need you to set up multi-level off-ball pick-and-rolls for Yi! Let Yi get a chance to shoot three-pointers! I don't want a draw, we want to win the game!" Carlisle picked up a marker and wrote and drew, and everyone listened attentively. , no matter how sweat dropped, no one blinked.

At this time, he can only shoot three-pointers. If overtime is played, Yiyang will not be able to hold on for that long. Therefore, Carlisle hopes to end the fight within regular time.

All the fans of the Raptors were nervous. Although the Raptors still led by 2 points in 7 seconds, this advantage was not safe in front of Yiyang who was like a god!

The electronic buzzer made the fans' hearts beat wildly in the stands. How could that damn Chinese be so powerful! ?

Gobert stood out of bounds. With his height and long arms, he was not easily disturbed and became the free throw shooter at the last moment. Players from both teams were all crowded together, pushing each other and not giving each other any space.

The referee's whistle made Yiyang push aside the crowd and run outside. Lowry grabbed Yiyang's jersey tightly. BA's offense and defense at the last moment of a game has always been so rough!

Yiyang successfully reached outside the three-point line and caught the ball steadily. There is only 5 seconds left, Yiyang has no room for hesitation!

He used Nowitzki's pick-and-roll to get rid of Lowry and prepared to shoot directly, but Amir Johnson made up for it without hesitation. If Yiyang insists on taking action, there are only two situations. Either get blocked or get hammered!

With only 3 seconds left, Yiyang had no time to think, so he chose to break through!

"Breakthrough! He didn't choose to shoot a three-pointer, but broke into the paint! Could it be that he wanted to play overtime!?" Weber's voice was trembling slightly as he spoke. The last few seconds were so exciting. !

"Damn it!" Seeing that the strategy was not successfully executed, Carlisle's heart suddenly hit the bottom.

It is naturally easy for Yiyang to break through Amir Johnson, but inside, there is a tall and long-armed Valanciunas waiting for him!

Yiyang had no choice and took off directly towards the Lithuanian center! Due to illness, Yiyang couldn't jump very high, and Valanciunas seemed to be able to easily block the shot with just one stretch of his hand!

Yiyang gritted his teeth. It was really difficult to face such a big center when he lost his jumping advantage!

Seeing that Valanciunas' big hand was about to touch the basketball, Yiyang exerted force on his waist and abdomen, raised his back in the air, and put the basketball held high into his abdomen.

In this way, Yiyang avoided Valanciunas' block. He was so weak that he tried his best to stretch his body again, and then threw the ball towards the basket.

A pull-up layup! As soon as the basketball was released, DeRozan leaped high and rushed in from the diagonal stab!

DeRozan slapped his palm hard. He didn't touch the basketball, but hit Yiyang's forearm hard!

The lever action just now had taken away the last bit of strength left by Yiyang, and now he was violated again. Yiyang paralyzed in the air and fell down! But the basketball that "escaped death" from DeRozan fell hollowly into the net!

The referee hesitated for a while, but finally blew the whistle before the end of the game.

"The Raptors No. 10 committed a defensive foul, and the Mavericks No. 1 two points are valid, and there will be an additional penalty!" The referee conveyed a very clear message to the technical desk. The staff at the technical desk were dumbfounded. This was a penalty that changed the outcome of the game. !

"Foul! The referee actually called a defensive foul at this critical moment! This means that we also got the opportunity to hit a three-pointer!" Weber and the tens of thousands of fans around him stretched their necks in excitement and stared at the court intently. .

"I only touched him after I took the shot!" DeRozan put his head in his hands. He couldn't believe that his active defense would lead to such an ending.

Where is Yiyang? He fell to the ground and didn't get up as usual. He had no energy left and he gave it his all in the last two minutes. He is only a little bit away from saving the team!

Nowitzki and Gobert immediately walked to Yiyang and pulled this incredible No. 1 guard up.

He scored 13 points in 2 minutes and 47 seconds, with a 100% shooting rate. This game with a decided outcome was forced to this point by Yiyang!

"Can you still hold on?" Nowitzki clearly felt that Yiyang put all his focus on himself and Gobert. This guy can't even stand still!

"Help me go to the free throw line!" Yiyang did not answer whether he could or not, but stared straight at the basket.

Seeing Yiyang insist on walking to the free throw line with the support of two players, countless fans watching the game in front of the TV had red eyes. That guy was not kidding when he said he would do anything to win.

Chris Webber couldn't help but applaud, no matter who wins or loses in today's game. Yiyang, he is a hero who has earned respect!

"We let go." After reaching the free throw line, Nowitzki and Gobert carefully pulled their hands away from Yiyang.

Yiyang's whole body suddenly went limp, but soon, he tried to steady himself and stood on the free throw line.

The referee passed the ball to Yiyang, and the power to win or lose the game was now in Yiyang's hands.

There were no boos, as the stunned Raptors fans could no longer make any sound from their throats.

Yiyang looked at the basket and felt that it was so far away from him for the first time.

He struggled to stay steady and then held the ball in both hands. How many times have you done shooting on the basketball court? Yiyang couldn't count them at all.

From the first day his father took him to the basketball court, he and basketball became eternal partners.

So now, will you let me win? partner.

Yiyang raised the ball above his head, his eyes a little dazed. But he knew that victory was beckoning to him. And he never refuses victory!

"Also, shoot the ball!"

The moment the basketball was thrown, Yiyang had no more strength. Losing the support of his strength, he fell straight back.

Before he had "close contact" with the wooden floor, Yiyang heard the familiar and sweet voice. The guy who was falling back had a smile on his face.

"brush!"
