One Guard
Chapter 608: Dirk
Yiyang relied on David Lee to perform a dunk at the beginning of the game, which undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Mavericks players. The "Black Eight Massacre" seven years ago only belonged to seven years ago. In this era when the Mavericks are under my control, Yiyang will never allow such a thing to happen!
Although ordinary shooting goals and dunk goals only count for two points, there is no doubt that Yiyang made a good statement. "Want to defeat us? You can come and try!"
Perhaps under the media's exaggeration, the Warriors' victory over the Mavericks has become a "natural" thing. But Yiyang's dunk reminded everyone that we were first in the league with 69 wins!
A one-man dunk brought the atmosphere in the American Airlines Center arena to a climax. When Curry held the ball through half court, the fans' deafening cheers brought dismay to the baby-faced point guard. Little pressure.
"Defend! Defend! Defend!"
The regular and loud shouts made Yiyang's adrenaline surge. He opened his arms and didn't give Curry any chance to break through.
Curry did not confront Yiyang head-on. In fact, even if he wanted to, he did not have the capital to confront Yiyang head-on.
Passing the ball to David Lee, who was raised to the high post to provide support, Yiyang took advantage of O'Neal's off-ball screen and ran towards the right corner.
At the same time, David Lee immediately passed the ball. Although the white forward is still a regular at the 20+10 Club, David Lee's high-position support ability is the main reason why Mark Jackson trusts him so much. Both Curry and Thompson are the kind of guards who like to catch and shoot, and David Lee's main job is to use his height and vision to deliver ammunition to the two.
Curry received a pass from David Lee and was about to take action. But like a ghost, Yiyang suddenly appeared in front of Curry again!
"Damn it!" Curry gritted his teeth. There were few people in this league who could follow him so closely. There was no other way. Baby-face No. 30 had no choice but to give the ball to David Lee and let him coordinate again.
Just as David Lee was holding the basketball and observing the movements of his teammates, Nowitzki suddenly stretched out his long arm and swatted the basketball out of David Lee's hand.
David Lee didn't expect the Germans to be so active today. He wanted to lean over and pick up the basketball again, but Nowitzki jumped directly and pinned the orange basketball beneath him!
"Dirk really worked hard. With such a big weight and such an old age, he will fail at any time! But this is the playoffs!" Looking at the intense scene, Barkley hoped to return to his days as a player and experience the experience. It's an exciting atmosphere.
After Nowitzki caught the basketball, the clever Yiyang ran quickly and "snatched" the basketball from Dirk's hand. He knew that if he didn't get rid of the ball quickly, the two sides would definitely get into a fight later. If the Warriors are given a chance to compete for the ball then, Dirk's efforts will be in vain.
Before Dirk figured out what was going on, the ball was taken away by Yiyang. At this time, Yiyang was surrounded by Warriors players. They originally came towards Dirk, but now they accidentally locked Yiyang in the middle.
Barkley bet that with Yiyang's height, it was impossible for him to see what was going on outside among the crowd with their arms raised, let alone pass the ball.
However, Yiyang slammed the basketball into the gap between the people. The basketball hit the floor, bounced back, jumped out of the crowd, and fell right into Iguodala's hands.
"Yi's wonderful pass! Oh my god, how did he do it!?" Buckley spread his hands. Could it be that this guy has clairvoyance! ?
Of course not, Yiyang just caught a glimpse of Iguodala's figure outside the crowd. Just with this bit of vision, it was enough for Yiyang to complete the pass.
Iguodala dribbled wildly and ravaged the Warriors' basket for the second time in a minute. Seeing this, Mark Jackson sighed helplessly.
Originally last summer, the Warriors were very eager to get Iguodala. However, he was stopped midway by Cuban, who was even more willing to spend money. If Iguodala had just attacked the city for the Warriors,
He certainly wouldn't let the Mavericks players catch the ball that jumped out of the gap easily.
4-0, the Mavericks started with momentum. Only then did the Warriors players suddenly realize.
Now the Mavericks are not competing with them, but playing against them! Look at the look in Nowitzki's eyes when he desperately pounces on the basketball. That desire has gone beyond a simple desire to win.
Nowitzki and the Mavericks faced not only the Warriors, but also their darkest time!
The Warriors fell behind 4-0 before they could figure out what was happening. On the next ball, Curry repeated his old trick, letting David Lee support him while he moved through the ball-free screen and then looked for an opening to shoot.
This time, Curry learned to be smart. When he bypassed the pick-and-roll, he pretended to continue running towards the corner, but in fact, he suddenly made a reverse run and returned to the right corner to catch the ball and shoot.
Under normal circumstances, Curry can get rid of most defensive players in this way, but Yiyang is obviously not in that category.
Curry raised the basketball high and prepared to take action, but Yiyang had already blocked it. You know, Curry is famous throughout the league for his fast shooting speed. Yiyang can make up for it before Curry takes action, which shows how tight his defense is!
The moment Curry threw the ball, he couldn't even see where the basket was. As a result of the reluctant shooting, the crisp sound of the iron aroused the Mavericks players to cheer with even higher decibels!
"Yi's defense is simply watertight. I believe that the Mavericks' lineup will definitely pose severe challenges to all teams' offense in the playoffs!" Barkley looked at Iguodala, Yiyang and Tony . Allen, in the playoffs, the defense of the three of them will definitely be tighter than in the regular season!
Adam Silver will definitely not like the Mavericks, because they will kill the most gorgeous offense in the cradle!
Dalembert protected the rebound on O'Neal's head. Now O'Neal no longer has the athletic ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground. After seeing his teammates grab the rebound, Yiyang quickly put his hands down, signaling everyone to slow down.
Therefore, Dalembert gave up the idea of passing the ball long and handed the ball to Yiyang. Then Yiyang walked through half the court unhurriedly. In the positional battle, did you think you could win?
As soon as Yiyang crossed the midfield line, he saw Nowitzki leaning on David Lee and actively raising his hand to ask for the ball. The momentum of the Germans made Yiyang seem to have returned to the era four years ago when the Heat were beaten by Old Dirk and couldn't take care of themselves.
Without hesitation, Yiyang used the most accurate lob pass to deliver the "ammunition" to Dirk. After holding the ball, Dirk used his back to feel the defense, and then immediately turned around and broke through!
David Lee was a little caught off guard. He thought Dirk would choose to turn around and shoot. Because the Germans are no longer as nimble as they used to be, they rarely turn around and walk toward the basket. But it was precisely because everyone thought so that Dirk had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Turning around and passing David Lee, Nowitzki hung the frame with one hand, and the Mavericks hit their third consecutive dunk!
"Have you felt the anger of the Dallas Mavericks!? I am really worried that the basket guarded by the Warriors will be forcibly pulled down! The humiliation seven years ago did not make the Mavericks retreat, but made them fight harder and harder. Brave!"
One round later, David Lee's turnaround jump shot was blocked by Nowitzki. The Germans were full of firepower today, and David Lee did not get any sweetness on both offense and defense.
The German has been through the worst, and now, nothing can hold him back!
Yiyang's keen sense of smell allowed him to catch the basketball that was blown out first. He then quickly advanced. The Mavericks, who had just been fighting in a positional battle, instantly became faster again. This is the characteristic of Yiyang. With him on the court, the team's rhythm can change as desired.
The Warriors players ran wildly behind Yiyang. They couldn't let the Mavericks dunk for the fourth consecutive time. Stopping Yiyang seems to be the only hope for the Warriors players. As long as they catch that "lightning", they can get back on track!
Yiyang stepped into the three-second zone, raised the basketball high, kicked his calves hard, and flew towards the basket.
Harrison Barnes and Klay Thompson jumped up after Yiyang. They stretched their arms as much as possible, hoping to touch the basketball held up by Yiyang.
At this moment, Yiyang put the basketball that was raised high into his abdomen, and then turned his wrist! The basketball quickly passed through the gap between Barnes and Thompson and went straight to the three-point line!
The No. 41 blond forward wearing the white home jersey of the Mavericks received the basketball from outside the three-point line. Yiyang attracted all the Warriors players to rush inside, so there was no defender around Dirk at this time.
He stood outside the three-point line, staring at the basket. What a familiar scene. Over the past 16 seasons, he has hit countless three-pointers in the same position. He went from a green boy to a bearded uncle on this court.
He has experienced the departure and arrival of countless people, and has experienced the lows and highs of the Mavericks. He was defeated by the Warriors and survived the darkest time. He also won the O'Brien Cup and experienced the greatest glory. But even so, the legend of Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks cannot end here!
Softie? That coward is dead a long time ago, he died after the 0607 season. Standing on the court now is a "German Chariot" who is full of confidence in dangers and challenges, and full of desire for the O'Brien Cup! You are only eighth in the Western Conference!
Dirk raised his hand, took off, and the basketball drew a high arc, suddenly fell, and went straight into the net!
"Brush!" A pleasant voice sounded.
"Dirk~~~~~ Nowitzki!" the DJ on the scene shouted into the microphone with a long voice. Mavericks fans have listened to this shout for 16 years, but they never get tired of hearing it.
"After a three-pointer and a 9-0 start, coach Mark Jackson called a halt to the game! The Dallas Mavericks' combat effectiveness is far beyond the Warriors' imagination!" The rapid whistle sounded, and Nowitzki was surrounded by his teammates. Get off the court!
Indeed, the current Mavericks belong to Yiyang's team. Nowitzki more often plays the role of assisting Yiyang.
But in the American Airlines Center Arena, never, never underestimate the fighting power of that German!
As long as he is here, he will always defend the land of Dallas.
Can the Warriors defeat the Mavericks and stage a black eight miracle? Anyone who believes it is the real idiot number one!
