One Guard

"Chris Paul and Yi's solid performance left the suspense of the game until the end. The game ended with three minutes left, and the Clippers only led the Mavericks by four points. After Coach Carlisle called a timeout, I didn't know what the Mavericks would do. attitude to meet the challenge."

"Coach Carlisle did not make any substitution adjustments. In my opinion, they still want to defend until the last second. Use defense to slowly wear out the Clippers."

"Watch until the end? No, based on my understanding of Yi. That guy is not the kind of person who will sit back and wait for death."

In the commentary box, Mike Breen and Kevin Harlan both had different opinions. Harlan believes that the Mavericks will be conservative until the end. If they want to attack, Carlisle would have replaced Nick Young.

Brin believes that the Mavericks will take the initiative. Although they have not made any substitutions, Yiyang himself is a terrifying enough scoring point. The usage of this kind of guy is very simple, give him the ball and then get out of his sight!

The moment the game paused, the atmosphere in the entire stadium became much more tense. When Yiyang took the ball and started to move forward, the fans in the Staples Center booed Yiyang wildly for the first time in a long time.

Although there were only 3 minutes left in the game, the Clippers still led by 4 points. But all the fans knew that this advantage was not safe at all. They booed wildly just to cover up their nervousness.

Yiyang walked outside the three-point line and observed the situation on the court. In the previous 45 minutes of the game, he followed Paul's rhythm. This will indeed ensure that the Mavericks will not be left behind, but it will also be difficult to leave others behind.

It's time to break this balance. Since Carlisle has given himself the right to fire, there is no need to be polite!

So, Yiyang passed the ball to Tony Allen. But instead of cutting in, he took two steps back. After that, Tony Allen returned the ball to Yiyang. Only then did Paul realize that Yiyang was trying to gain space for himself to sprint!

"Stop your imagination, brat!" Paul, who has the title of "the league's number one point guard", has been suppressed by Yiyang this season. Regardless of personal data or team record, Yiyang has the advantage. Paul was very eager to prove that he was still competitive. He couldn't stand a little guy climbing on him so quickly.

So this time, Paul adopted a more active defensive approach. As soon as Yiyang caught the basketball, Paul saw the right moment and cut it!

Paul's chipping action is really fast, accurate and ruthless! As soon as Yiyang touched the ball, Paul's hand was cut off. Another defender would not have had time to control the basketball and could only watch Paul poke the ball away.

However, Yiyang's outstanding ball sense and ball control skills allow him to always face emergencies like a conditioned reflex.

Yiyang took advantage of the situation and pulled the ball behind his back, switched it to his right hand, and nimbly avoided Paul's steal. At the same time, Paul's center of gravity shifted forward due to cutting the ball. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yiyang accelerated his breakthrough, and the entire action was completed in one go!

"Also when facing a steal, he changed hands behind the scenes without hesitation, allowing him to break through Chris's defense!"

Although Yiyang broke through, Paul's reaction was not slow. He reacted in time to catch up and stayed by Yiyang's side.

At the same time, Barnes also came up to help defend, and it seemed that he had blocked Yiyang's breakthrough route. In this attack, Yiyang had to choose to pass the ball.

If it were normal, Yiyang would definitely choose to pass the ball. But as a scorer at this time, Yiyang didn't want to shirk his responsibility.

He picked up the basketball and made a circle, passing the ball over the top of Barnes' head. Then with a quick jump, Yiyang squeezed through the gap between Paul and Barnes!

Barnes turned around in surprise, what was going on with Yiyang's speed just now? At that moment, Barnes only saw an afterimage passing through and had no time to react.

Passing through Barnes, Yiyang leaned on Paul and easily made a layup. Right from the start, Yiyang scored in seemingly impossible circumstances. Carlisle nodded with satisfaction. A player like Yiyang will never disappoint his coach!

"Hoho, from back carry to jump step, Yi's actions are so smooth and beautiful. The Mavericks are only two points away now, what will the Clippers do?"

Before the timeout ended, most people speculated that the Mavericks would play relatively safely, while the Clippers would use a more aggressive approach to quickly open the score.

But for now, the situation between the two teams is exactly the opposite.

Paul is still organizing the offense steadily and seems to have no intention of grabbing points. Yiyang no longer kept a distance from Paul, but took a close defensive approach against him.

After holding steady for 45 minutes, Yiyang is not only not tired now, but has full strength. By spending the last three minutes with Paul by pressing close to him, Yiyang believed that he could persevere.

After encountering Yiyang's close defense, Paul had no choice but to hand the ball to Griffin. Griffin is in excellent form today and has already scored 30 points. But at this time, the person coming to defend him has changed from Dirk to Gobert.

"Rudy defends Blake personally, it's going to be a great show now!"

In the first meeting of the series between the two sides, Griffin beat Gobert into a lunatic in the paint. In a daze, he was repeatedly succeeded by Griffin.

But today, Gobert vowed that he would never let that annoying guy Blake get his wish again!

Griffin saw that the center was misaligned with him, so he dribbled the ball directly to break through. But after moving, Griffin was surprised to find that Gobert's mobility was so powerful.

The Frenchman stayed close to Griffin and was not overtaken by Griffin's speed. There was no other way, so Griffin had to stop suddenly, then turn around and shoot a jumper.

Although Griffin's mid-range shooting has improved significantly this season, this kind of sudden stop and turn jump shot seems a bit too difficult for him who is extremely strong.

Griffin's turnaround jump shot was very stiff, and coupled with Gobert's terrifying height, the shot naturally missed the frame.

Jordan pushed away Dirk, who was stuck in a good position, and successfully added the ball, but before the fans had time to cheer, the ball was blown away by the referee.

"Rebound foul, goal invalid!" The referee was very decisive and did not give the Clippers face because this is their home court.

"Damn it!" Jordan waved his hands in annoyance, but it was useless to be upset anymore. The Clippers must now face the risk of equalizing the score!

Yiyang took the ball from the baseline. He didn't increase his speed very fast, but walked at his own pace.

When he was about to reach the three-point line, Gobert blocked Yiyang as usual. Yiyang dribbled the ball to the side of the pick-and-roll, but instead of speeding up the breakthrough, he seemed to be shooting.

Paul didn't jump this time, he just tried his best to make up for it! Sure enough, it is a worshiper!

After praying to Buddha, Yiyang hit the ball to his right hand with a very smooth crossover, and it seemed like he was about to shoot again!

Paul could no longer tell which one of Yiyang's fake shots was a fake shot and which one was an ordinary dribble, because all of that guy's movements were very lifelike. The only thing he can do now is to continue to block laterally.

Just as Paul moved sideways to block Yiyang, Yiyang changed direction again! This time, he accelerated directly after changing direction three times in succession. Paul, who was constantly being shaken by Yiyang, had no time to react and could only watch as Yiyang successfully reached the three-point line.

There was an exclamation at the scene. Although Yiyang's movements were not complicated, they were just continuous changes in front of the body. But his skillful movements and smooth changes of hands are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

After Yiyang broke through from the center, Gobert also quickly cut inside. I saw Yiyang watching Gobert lift the basketball, and the two seemed to be playing an alley-oop!

This time, Jordan leaned towards Gobert. But Yiyang didn't really pass the ball. After deceiving Jordan, Yiyang took back the basketball and passed the ball. Relaxed and free-spirited without losing arrogance, Yiyang scored four points in a row to close the gap!

"This is simply the backyard of Yiyang's family. He can do whatever he wants!" Mike Brin had goosebumps all over his body. Yiyang's movements are both beautiful and practical.

Yiyang, who played a bit flashy in college, was deliberately transformed by Stevens, so most of the time, Yiyang looks like an academic point guard. But in fact, the blood flowing in his body still belongs to the streets. But now, Yiyang has the ability to make the flashy tricks on the street more practical and use them in competitions.

Scored four points in a row, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Paul. He knew that Yiyang had broken out of the rules of stabilizing the situation and started to give it a try.

Paul is no longer soft-hearted. There are more than two minutes left in the game, so everyone should stop hiding it. This time, Paul did not ask for a pick-and-roll, but walked to the right side of the basket alone and motioned for everyone to pull away.

All the fans stood up. This originally boring and silent game turned into a cool point guard battle without warning!

When it comes to dribbling, Paul is no worse than Yiyang. Paul quickly changed hands and then suddenly accelerated to the left.

Yiyang knew that this was probably Paul's fake move, but he had to block it. If it wasn't blocked, Paul would be able to get rid of him immediately.

After Yiyang moved, Paul pulled the ball that originally bounced to the left behind his back without slowing down, and then switched it to his right hand from behind. Without slowing down the back movement and changing direction, this action is simply breathtaking when it appears on the NBA court.

After breaking through Yiyang, Paul went straight for a layup. Gobert flew over and covered the basketball, but he couldn't stop the car and knocked Paul off the baseline. Defensive foul, Paul's offense is still successful!

"You know Kevin, I feel like I'm not at Staples now, but on the streets of Los Angeles! It's so exciting, and the showdown with Chris is breathtaking!"

Paul made two free throws and the Clippers regained a two-point lead. Paul's response also officially kicked off the war between the two! Now, what they want is not to stabilize the situation, but to kill each other while protecting themselves!

The competition gradually became more intense and the pace became faster. This time, Yiyang signaled Gobert to quickly throw a baseline kick. Before the Clippers' return defense was in place, Yiyang started sprinting.

Just after crossing the midfield line, the smart Iguodala blocked Yiyang. This time, Paul was a whole position behind Yiyang.

But at this time, Griffin had already returned to the three-second zone. Looking at this guy who entered the league a year later than himself, but has already won two MVPs, "White Warcraft" didn't mind using a big blow to remind Yiyang whose territory this place is.

Yiyang was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye he rushed into the three-second zone, then hugged the basketball and went straight for a layup!

In the first step, Yiyang stepped to the right. But in the second step, Yiyang stepped to the left. A European step with a huge change of direction allowed Yiyang to dodge Griffin and successfully hit the layup again!

Score 6 points in a row! Although Yiyang is a "pass first" style defender, when you need him to step up and score, he will show no mercy!

At this point in the game, whoever misses first, Paul or Yiyang, actually loses. The score was tied again, and now the pressure fell on Paul.

Paul used the pick-and-roll to confuse Gobert with a throw. In fact, he passed the ball to Jordan for an alley-oop. The Clippers exceeded the score again, and Paul held on for another round.

Subsequently, Yiyang made a layup in the air and avoided Jordan's block, scoring 8 points in a row. The score was evened again and the pressure fell on Paul again.

At this point, there is only one minute left before the end of the game. Whoever misses loses. The duel between top point guards has reached the most brutal stage!

Paul's step-back mid-range shot was seriously interfered by Yiyang, but the ball still hit the net without any danger, and the Clippers continued to surpass!

Yiyang, who scored eight points in a row, dove into the crowd and attracted four Clippers players to surround him. Finally, he calmly distributed the ball to Dirk. Dirk's mid-range was as stable as ever, and Yiyang tied the score again.

After 30 seconds, the winner was still not decided. The duel between Paul and Yiyang was indeed very anxious.

This time, as soon as Paul crossed the midfield line, he encountered Yiyang's "death entanglement". Griffin had to set up a screen for Paul near the midfield, but Yiyang used Griffin as a pivot and used a very flexible turn to get back to Paul.

The screen continues, and Paul is a good use of space. As long as Griffin can hang on to Yiyang for a while, he will be confident to continue scoring goals!

However, Yiyang's enthusiasm made Griffin's pick-and-roll effect negligible. Less than a second after Paul got rid of Yiyang, the yellow-skinned guy appeared in front of him.

Paul, who was a little tired, finally used an emergency stop to pull his hips back, knocking Yiyang a step away, and then shot directly!

As everyone knows, Yiyang's desire to defend is extremely strong. He jumped directly from a distance of one step, with terrifying height and outstanding arm length. With this hard work, it suddenly interfered with Paul's shooting!

In the last round, Paul still scored despite being interfered with. This round, he was not so lucky.

The orange Spalding basketball hit the front of the basket in the expectant eyes of the Los Angeles fans. Gobert leaned back hard, squeezed Jordan out of the three-second zone, then stretched out his long arms and jumped lightly, Grab the rebound! At that moment, it indicated that the Clippers' offense in this round completely failed!

"It missed. Chris actually missed first in the duel! They failed to exceed the score again. In the last 20 seconds, it will be Yilai's turn to attack!"

"Damn it!" Paul gritted his teeth and ran towards the backcourt. Yiyang raised the corner of his mouth slightly. After working hard for 47 minutes and 30 seconds, he finally got the chance to win the game!

Since you missed first, don't blame me for taking away the victory! Can’t yellow skin rule the NBA? Today Yiyang will prove a slogan of the NBA in Los Angeles.

Miracles happen here!
