One Guard

Chapter 559: Night of Champions

It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [Aidou Reading] The fastest update! No ads!

No matter how "cute" Yiyang behaved at the press conference, his greatness cannot be concealed. With 22 assists in a single game in the finals, Yiyang not only broke his own career assist record, but also broke Magic Johnson's record.

Not to mention 22 assists in a single game in the finals, even if the scope is expanded to the entire playoffs, there are only a handful of players who can score more than 20 assists in a single game.

Chris Paul, before Yiyang, was recognized as the number one point guard in the league. His organizational skills can bring about earth-shaking changes to a team.

Without Paul, the Clippers were a team that couldn't even reach the playoffs. But with Paul, the Clippers immediately became a powerhouse in the Western Conference.

He is such a powerful point guard, but he has never scored 20+ assists in a single game in the playoffs.

Let’s talk about Deron Williams. Deron at his peak had the reputation of “eating, sleeping and beating Paul”.

From the second year of his career, Deron has secured his starting position in the team. The playing time reached 36 minutes, and the data also reached 16+9. In the second year alone, he averaged 9 assists per game, including a highlight of 21 assists in a single game. After one season, he was second only to Nash in the assists list. This is a promising prospect for Deron, who is in his second year as a rookie.

However, even such a passing master, known as the "Rhythm Master" by fans, has never received 20+ assists in a single game in the playoffs.

Even Yiyang's teacher, Kidd, who ranked second in the NBA assists list, had never done such a "cruel and bloody" thing.

Throughout the history of the NBA playoffs, on a stage with countless great stars competing, there are only six players who can score 20+ assists in a single game. But now there are seven, and Yiyang is one of them.

If we narrow the scope to the finals, the only players who can score 20+ assists in a single game are Yiyang and Magic.

However, "Magic" Johnson is one of the greatest stars in the league! This guy is even a sign of the NBA! Yiyang can be as famous as such a great player, and the improvement of his historical status is obvious!

"The greatest point guard since the 21st century!" The latest issue of "Sports Illustrated" magazine even used such an exaggerated title to describe Yiyang.

Time magazine has even contacted Bill Duffy to discuss making Yiyang the cover star of the next issue. After all, the NBA Finals has now reached 3-0, and it is almost impossible for the Heat to complete the comeback and win the championship.

With the incredible record and the championship, there will be a "Yi storm" all over the world. The editor of Time magazine believes that Yiyang is definitely qualified to be on its cover!

The words historical, incredible, greatest, and superstar have been used more and more frequently for Yiyang.

Of course, if it's just the media saying this, it won't be convincing. So the reporters called in many stars and asked them to talk about their opinions on Yiyang.

"22 assists!? Oh my God, when I saw the data of 22+14, I thought he scored 22 points and 14 assists! But you told me, he sent 22 assists!? No, I have to stop the interview, I have to see the tape of that game." Kobe Bryant's exaggerated expression was impressive.

"I have long known that Yi's strength is above everyone else. I have never seen a point guard as good as him." Nets coach Jason Kidd, who has gone home to fish, said.

"Do you want to see my surprised expression? I'm not surprised at all. When I was training with Yi in the training camp a few years ago, I knew that he would have this day sooner or later." Stephen Nash's face was full of envy. Look, it’s great to win the championship

"I'm glad the old record has finally been broken,

There is no doubt that he is great. The only pity is that he is not a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. "The great "Magic" Johnson said meaningfully.

The finals haven't even ended yet, and Yiyang has already been promoted to the altar. What about the Big Three of the Heat that shocked the world? Now, only local fans and media in Miami still remember them.

"LeBron will create a miracle, and a 3-0 reversal is not impossible!"

"Records are meant to be broken, and now it's the Miami Heat's turn to break them!"

"Our dynasty has not collapsed yet, and the finals are not over yet. Everyone in the Mavericks team, don't be too happy!"

In Miami, this news is everywhere. I don’t know if the contributors who wrote these news believe those nonsense.

The day after the game, when reporters interviewed Wade on the training ground, Wade was frank. "The game has gone really against me and we just have to do the best we can."

James even refused interviews with all reporters. There are rumors that James will not even renew his contract with the Heat this summer!

How can a team that has internal and external troubles before the game is over have any fighting capacity?

During the day on June 11, a reporter filmed NBA officials airlifting a large wooden box to Miami and moving it to the American Airlines Center.

There is no need for reporters to reveal the secret. Fans also know that the wooden box contains the O'Brien Cup! Unfortunately, the trophy flown to Miami was not intended for the Heat.

Under normal circumstances, when the championship situation is unclear, league officials will prepare two O'Brien Cups for convenience. One is genuine and the other is fake.

Depending on the outcome of the finals, which one will be placed in the stadium with a greater chance of winning the championship? As for fakes, they will be placed in arenas with little chance of winning the championship. At that time, no matter where the two teams win the championship, they can directly use it.

But this year, the officials only prepared one O'Brien Cup, and it was the real one that was moved to Miami!

No one thinks that the Heat have a chance to turn around, except for those die-hard Heat fans.

Everyone is waiting for the arrival of June 12th. For everyone, that day is not only the fourth game of the Finals, but also the championship night belonging to the Dallas Mavericks!

The Mavericks players also tried their best to stay calm, they didn't want to mess up the game on the Night of Champions!

So, under the gaze of everyone, under the brilliance of Yiyang with the aura of a superstar. At 8pm prime time on June 12th, Game 4 of the NBA Finals finally arrived as scheduled!

It is not that there has never been a 4-0 sweep to win the championship on the NBA Finals stage, and it has happened 4 times!

It is worth mentioning that among the four teams that were swept, the Eastern Conference accounted for three cases. Among the three cases where the Eastern Conference was swept, LeBron James had a place!

As early as the 0607 season, when James led the Cavaliers to the finals for the first time, he had already experienced the feeling of being swept 4-0!

At that time, the experienced GDP trio defeated the Cavaliers in four games. After the game, Duncan did not forget to give James a mouthful of poisonous milk: "The future is yours."

This sentence has also become the most famous "joke" in NBA history.

After five years of hard work, James finally touched the future promised by Duncan in 2012 with the help of his brother Wade! But James probably never expected that the Heat, which had just reached its peak, would be knocked back to its original shape by the Mavericks so quickly!

Before today's game started, James also made a bold statement: "The Heat will become the first team in the history of the playoffs to counterattack from a 3-0 deficit."

However, everyone knows that James's heart has left Miami, and he just said a nice word casually. Anyone who takes it seriously is an idiot.

It's easy to talk empty words in front of the camera, but on the court, the Heat quickly discovered that the Mavericks were still difficult to shake.

Today, Yiyang still played injured. But the rib injury did not affect his vitality. It is true that Yiyang's scoring ability has dropped significantly after the injury, but he has proved in the last game that he can still keep the Mavericks moving forward even if he does not need to score!

The Mavericks attacked aggressively after the opening. Yiyang hit his first shot, and Iguodala followed up with a "cake-eating" dunk, declaring their confidence in winning the O'Brien Cup here. The Heat, which had lost all spirit, failed to make a field goal in a sports battle after nearly 5 minutes of the game, and fell behind 2-13 from the start.

But then, James really tried his best. He started to score constantly and could also hit three-pointers from outside. In a single quarter, he scored a terrifying 17 points!

But the Heat's problem is very obvious, that is, except James, no one can stand up. Former giants Wade and Bosh have lost their dominance due to injuries, and Ray Allen and Battier, who once saved the team at critical moments, are no longer magical. At this time, the Heat seem to have become the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2007, with James alone carrying the team.

A team carried by one person can easily be targeted, so in the second quarter, James was restricted by the Mavericks' terrifying defense and failed to score a point in 9 minutes! Less than half of the game, the Heat fell behind by 22 points because they could not score for a long time!

At this time, the Heat's mentality had completely collapsed. Wade managed to get inside before the end of the second quarter and caused a foul on Gobert, but missed both free throws at the free throw line.

Wade's collapse also represents the complete collapse of the Heat.

Seven minutes into the second half, Spoelstra withdrew all his main players. The Heat have given up, and James sits on the sidelines feeling dejected. After winning two consecutive championships, this time James' Heat had no chance in front of the Mavericks!

Out of respect for the unwritten courtesy in this league, Carlisle also replaced all the main players. Halfway through the third quarter of the game, it entered garbage time! The Mavericks are only 17 minutes away from their O'Brien Trophy!

The game went on without any suspense, and most of the Heat fans had already left. There are some left, just to give the Mavericks, or give the Heat some boos.

There are three minutes left in the game.

????Everyone on the Mavericks bench stood up. They put their hands on each other's shoulders, forming a "human wall." As soon as the electronic buzzer sounds, they rush off the court!

Two minutes to go.

????James left the game early and walked into the tunnel, but no one cares about that guy now. Next to Yiyang, Carter's eyes couldn't stop turning red, and his body was trembling slightly.

There's only one last minute left.

????In Dallas, Mavericks fans have set off fireworks in the city's streets.

In the TV close-ups, the remaining die-hard Heat fans were speechless, with tears in their eyes and red eyes, staring helplessly at the court. ?James, the man who brought hope to Miami, has now abandoned them and left early. This is even more unacceptable than losing the championship.

?

????All the players and coaches on the Mavericks bench stood shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, on the sidelines. They cheered and waited for the referee to blow the whistle to end the game and rush to celebrate.

????The commentator on the scene stopped explaining the game. He began to talk endlessly about how magical the Mavericks were in this series and how great Yiyang was.

Who would have thought that James, one of the greatest stars in the NBA, would still be nailed to the shame of being swept 4-0 in the finals at his most mature age.

Who would have thought that the Chinese who looked weak and was booed by fans at the draft four years ago could create such a miracle!

Yiyang clenched his fists tightly. He felt his heart tightening. He didn't even dare to take a big breath for fear that his heart would jump out of his mouth. He was so excited, this huge feeling of happiness was wonderful.

????With thirty seconds left, this will be the first substantial championship in his career. ?Yes, the championship in 2011 belonged to Dirk. And the 2014 championship will truly belong to him, to the Asian boy from Wood District!

In Dallas, all the bars have started the carnival in advance.

The local Miami commentator fell silent, and the Heat players stopped running.

????At this time, the ball was in the hands of Darren Collison. He passed the center line and stopped moving forward. People could even see him so excited that he almost dribbled the ball onto his instep!

????"The game is about to end! We are the champions! We are the damn champions!" Yiyang yelled from the audience.

The numbers on the rebound timer kept beating, 4-0, sweeping the championship! Now, who dares to underestimate the Dallas Mavericks! ?

"Before the start of the playoffs, almost all media across the country swore that the Mavericks would definitely not win the championship. They would be defeated by the Warriors, they would be eliminated by the Clippers, they would be killed by the Spurs, and they would be crushed by the Heat!? Now, I really want to know the expressions of those guys! It must be exciting!" Mike Breen felt extremely happy. Although he was not a member of the championship team, he watched the Mavericks come to this point step by step in a highly questionable situation. This veteran commentator was also greatly touched.

This is the real champion division!

????The Mavericks players outside the stadium all raised their arms high, leaned forward, and were ready to sprint at any time.

?Pat Riley in the luxury box walked out of the room. The game was not over yet, but he didn't care anymore. It doesn’t make any difference whether he looks or not, he loses! His era of the Big Three is over!

Huge noise filled every corner of the stadium. If two people who were right next to each other wanted to speak, they had to put their mouths to each other's ears in order for the other party to hear clearly.

????But in such a noisy environment, the electronic buzzer at the end of the game was particularly crisp.

Yiyang was dragged into the stadium by the people around him. Before he could react, he squeezed directly into the crowd.

Being squeezed among a group of sweaty men was not very pleasant.

But who cares?

The game is over, the championship belongs to the Dallas Mavericks!
