One Guard

Chris Paul missed a shot, which caused the Clippers to miss the opportunity to take the lead in the last 20 seconds. Although the score was now even, the possession of the ball in the final attack fell into Yiyang's hands. There is no doubt that after such a long tug of war, the Clippers were finally forced to the edge of the cliff.

"Aren't you going to call a timeout?" After Gobert grabbed the rebound, Mavericks assistant coach Armstrong looked at Carlisle. The academic coach didn't answer, just shook his head silently.

Carlisle believed in Yiyang, and he was very relieved to let Yiyang handle this final attack. Even if they fail, the Mavericks still have overtime to play.

But Rivers is different. The last attack is not called a timeout, which also deprives Rivers of the right to deploy the final defense.

Can Carlisle trust Yiyang to handle the final attack on his own? Can Rivers guarantee that his players can handle the final defense?

The answer is obvious, Rivers is very, very worried! If a timeout is called, the Clippers can cause trouble for the Mavericks starting from the sideline ball. But now, Yiyang can dribble through the half court safely, and everyone on the Clippers team doesn't dare to act rashly!

"Coach Carlisle didn't call a timeout. I bet even Popovich wouldn't dare to do that." Mike Breen looked at Carlisle in disbelief. He was not dazzled. The Mavericks coach just stood there, arms folded across his chest, silent.

This is how much trust you have in a player to dare to let him handle the offense by himself at the critical moment that determines the outcome of the game. In order not to give the other party a chance, Carlisle really did anything.

Rivers looked at the court nervously. Before that, Yiyang had scored eight points in a row. The yellow-skinned No. 1 had never failed at a critical moment. Although Yiyang does not succeed in completing the kill every time, his probability of killing the game is still very high.

On the backboard, the numbers on the timer ticked by. Without Rivers' instructions, the rest of the Clippers would not dare to easily help defend. This makes the final attack still a duel between Yiyang and Paul. The two point guards are really at odds with each other, as well as life and death.

"We often say that a player's performance at critical moments is often the reference that determines whether he can become a superstar. Griffin, who previously scored 30 points, did nothing in the last three minutes and was tepid at the beginning. Yi Ze pushed the Clippers to the edge of the cliff. I think this is why Yi can become the MVP, and Blake has no personal honors." When Yi Yang controlled the ball to delay time, Mike Breen We also talked about things other than the game.

If you don’t relax now, you’ll be out of breath later!

When the number on the rebound timer becomes 10,

Yiyang finally waved his hand. Gobert ran up obediently and set up a cover for Yiyang!

DeAndre Jordan is facing a formidable enemy! If Paul can't get out of the pick-and-roll, he will become the last barrier to defend Yiyang. If even he can't stop Yiyang, the Clippers' basket will be wide open.

Gobert's screen was in place in advance, and Yiyang took two steps forward unhurriedly, letting his back dive towards the side with the screen.

But Paul was very tenacious. He squeezed in front of Gobert and did not let the Frenchman delay his defense. Seeing that the screen failed, Yiyang simply changed his direction and walked to the side where there was no pick and roll. But Paul's lateral movement was still very fast. He kept up with him, but Yiyang still didn't get a chance!

Yiyang gritted his teeth, Paul was indeed one of the best defensive point guards in the league!

At this time, Gobert's pick-and-roll had been withdrawn. Yiyang was not at a loss. Instead, he made a large arc of direction changes to open up the space and then accelerated directly.

Paul knew that it was too late for him to move laterally to block the ball. He did not hesitate and directly turned back to prepare for the pursuit. I have to admit that Paul is indeed very experienced. When unable to move laterally in time, directly turning over to pursue can also achieve very good defensive effects. But sometimes, relying too much on experience can harm yourself.

Paul turned around and chased after him, only to find that there was no one beside him! Yiyang didn't rush in after he changed direction just now!

"Damn it!" Paul immediately turned back. Sure enough, Yiyang had no intention of breaking through at all. After making a breakthrough, Yiyang pulled his hips back and retreated to the three-point line. His change of direction did not confuse Paul, but the rhythm that was difficult to distinguish between true and false made Paul spin around in circles like an idiot before he realized it. The person he wants to defend is not around.

Paul wanted to make up for it, but naturally it was too late. Yiyang fired directly from outside the three-point line!

It stands to reason that the Mavericks now only need two points to win, but Yiyang resolutely chose to take a three-point shot. At that moment, Carlisle even regretted not calling a timeout.

But in fact, Yiyang believes that opportunities outside the three-point line are the best. Because everyone thinks you will break through to a more reliable two points, so they will set up layers of defenses on the inside. As for Yiyang outside the three-point line, as long as he can deal with Paul, there will be no interference.

Just as Yiyang threw the ball, a harsh electronic buzzer sounded. At the same time, the red light on the backboard made Yiyang unable to open his eyes.

On the surface, Carlisle still looked calm with his hands folded across his chest, but in fact, his heart was almost beating out of his chest.

The basketball is like a shooting star, passing through the Staples Arena, attracting everyone's attention.

In the end, the "shooting star" fell straight into the net without even touching the basket. There was dead silence in the American Airlines Center Arena, but Mike Breen stood up and shouted loudly.

"A killer! A killer! A killer! Incredible three-pointer, incredible fake move! He also shook off the best defensive point guard in the league, and then calmly hit a three-pointer over his head and killed the game! Incredible Also, an incredible victory! I think he is already qualified to put the crown of the league's number one point guard on his head!" Mike Breen could not hide his excitement. He used several incredible words in a row. Describe the killing blow just now. Because Yiyang was able to dodge Paul and make a fatal shot without cover, which was indeed very, very difficult.

This time, Yiyang did not wait quietly for his teammates to come up and hug him. After completing the winning goal, Yiyang deliberately walked in front of the camera, bulged his muscles, and then pointed at his skin!

did you see it? Yellow skin can also dominate the game! Moreover, he still dominates the game under the noses of you "pseudo-righteous" Los Angeles media!

Why do yellow people "despise" American basketball on American soil? Yiyang will tell you now, because I can always fucking win!

Yiyang celebrated in front of the camera for a while, and then his Mavericks teammates swarmed up and "engulfed" Yiyang completely. In fact, the minute the game ended, every Mavericks player rushed the court. It's just that Yiyang's speed was too fast, and his teammates didn't catch him immediately.

"This is a wonderful point guard duel. This is the duel between top stars! The two of them made deadly moves and showed all their abilities! As long as you fail to catch one move, you will only die. ! This is the greatest duel, a duel worthy of being recorded in history! I and Chris, they gave everyone a wonderful match!"

Although Paul lost, Mike Breen still gave the "Captain" great recognition.

With 27 points, 12 assists and 2 steals, Paul played very well indeed. His data can guarantee a sure win for any opponent.

But Yiyang's 35 points, 14 assists, 3 steals and 1 block clearly outdid Paul.

In fact, Yiyang's initial statistics were almost the same as Paul's. At that time, both of them only scored more than 20 points, and Griffin was the leading scorer on the court.

But in the last three minutes, Yiyang seized the opportunity to widen the gap with Paul. Never show mercy at critical moments, this has become Yiyang's character trait!

Paul looked at Yiyang, who was surrounded by his teammates, and cursed inwardly unwillingly. He only lost one round in the 48-minute game, just one round! But that round made the situation of the two teams very different.

Such is the duel between top stars, any miss is fatal.

In today's game, Yiyang defeated Paul in a head-to-head confrontation. The Mavericks also successfully won an away game in Los Angeles, moving the score to 2-1. From the stars to the team, the Mavericks achieved a complete victory!

Paul failed to help the Clippers win in the last game. People would also say that it was because the point difference was too wide and Paul could not get it back no matter how hard he tried.

But today, Paul was completely defeated! His last attack and last defense were the biggest reasons why the Clippers lost! Even Paul fans can't find any excuse for losing today.

Yiyang used his actual performance to forcefully take off the crown from Paul's head. From today on, the title of the league's number one point guard no longer belongs to the 1.83-meter-tall No. 3.

Even the Los Angeles media, which is good at messing around, couldn't find any excuse for winning the head-to-head confrontation.

The Mavericks players were still celebrating, so reporters had to surround Carlisle first.

"Coach Carlisle, did you not call a timeout at the last moment because you trusted Yi's ability!? Do you think he can handle the final attack on his own?"

"Trust?" Carlisle looked at the reporter with wide eyes, as if he was very surprised. "Sorry, I thought we were still ahead by two points, so I forgot to call a timeout. After all, who would trust a madman who shoots randomly from outside the three-point line at critical moments?"

After Carlisle finished speaking, he smiled at the camera. Even though this academic coach doesn't talk much at ordinary times, when he's in a good mood, he also likes a little humor like Popovich.

2-1, Yiyang's solid performance gave the Mavericks a valuable away victory. The total score of the series finally took the lead.

From the inside to the outside, from Griffin to Paul, the Clippers seem to have collapsed across the board. How long can Rivers last? No one knows.

But everyone knows very well that Chris Paul's curse in the Western Conference Finals may be difficult to break this year.
