One Guard

Chapter 683: Invincible Golden Body

Howard waited until the second quarter before finally waiting for Yiyang to hit the penalty area with the ball. But what greeted him was not his mighty and violent block, but Yiyang's dunk that hit him in the face!

After being dunked by Yiyang, Howard angrily pushed Yiyang away who was still hanging on the basket. The face-conscious Howard couldn't stand this humiliation. He didn't even dare to look up and watch the replay on the big screen.

Howard's depressed mood has actually been transmitted to other Rockets players. Even their Dinghaishenzhen in the paint has been dunked. Who else can stop Yiyang?

Yiyang stood on the free throw line, not caring about the boos from the fans in Toyota Center. These guys' boos are just to hide their fear.

After Yiyang's first free throw, Wade and Dirk finally came on the court again. This also means that the Rockets will be under greater defensive pressure later. They couldn't guard against Yiyang alone, and now with Wade and Nowitzki... the entire Rockets team was enveloped in despair.

In the following games, Harden continued to draw fouls further and further. However, always using fouls to attack is harmful to the team's rhythm.

Howard is still desperately attacking the inside, but he desperately finds that he can't even take down Gobert, a second-year rookie.

Gobert's height and wingspan have become a huge pressure to limit Howard. For an insider with rough skills, the height gap is often very fatal, because he cannot use skills to make up for the height difference.

The Rockets are getting more and more unsmooth, while the Mavericks are succeeding one after another.

In the second quarter, the Rockets still couldn't hold on. The combined attack of Yiyang, Wade and Dirk completely destroyed the Rockets' defense. Trailing by 13 points at halftime, it seemed that the Rockets were no better than other teams that lost to the Mavericks.

In the second half, Howard's mentality exploded. The more obstacles he encounters in the interior, the more he wants to play singles in the interior crazily. By the time they hit the back, Harden and Beverley no longer even wanted to feed him the ball.

In desperation, McHale had no choice but to replace Howard with "Big Black" Tarik Black. Surprisingly, after Howard came off the court, the Rockets' offensive efficiency increased significantly!

Blake is a pure blue-collar center. On the offensive end, he does all the dirty work and does not occupy the ball at all. Without the center who has been playing randomly in the three-second zone, the Rockets' offense is still alive.

Their offense became fluid and their three-point advantage finally showed.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets even narrowed the point difference to 6 points!

Watching the Rockets perform so well, Howard's face was full of black lines. The team has indeed gotten better, but it only got better without him. This may not be acceptable to everyone.

In the fourth quarter, the Rockets looked even more frantically for opportunities outside the three-point line. Beverley took as many as 11 shots from beyond the three-point line today. A point guard took more than 10 shots from beyond the three-point line. This was absolutely unthinkable before.

However, the Rockets relied on their frequent shots and hits from outside the three-point line today to be able to compete with the Mavericks.

In the subsequent games, the score difference between the two sides fluctuated around 5 points. The Mavericks maintained the lead, but could not open up the score.

Until the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, the Rockets players began to experience a decline in shooting percentage due to physical problems. Carlisle took advantage of the situation and replaced Tony Allen to strengthen the defense, which directly led to the Rockets' next four rounds being in vain.

The Rockets missed four consecutive three-pointers, and the Mavericks once again opened the point difference to double digits. In this critical moment, Howard also very much wants to contribute to the team. But McHale didn't give him this opportunity. In the entire fourth quarter, Howard played less than four minutes. At the critical moment, Howard was kept on the bench.

Watching Yiyang do whatever he wants on the court,

Seeing his team heading towards the abyss step by step and being unable to do anything about it, Howard couldn't help but bury his head in his hands.

Is he about to start falling like this? Really... I'm really unwilling to accept it.

In the last minute, Yiyang still played steadily on the court and made no mistakes. Naturally, he did not give the Rockets any chance to make a comeback. James Harden committed two fouls on Tony Allen in the last 30 seconds, but it did nothing except make his scoring data better.

Watching the Rockets, who dominated the Western Conference this season, being overwhelmed by the Mavericks, Barkley, who was commentating on the game, felt a little pity. This team may be like the Bulls in the 1990s, with countless great stars under their soles!

In the end, the Dallas Mavericks easily won 105-95 at Toyota Center. The Rockets did cause some trouble for the Mavericks, but that was it.

Howard only played 27 minutes today and did not play again. His playing time was not as long as Papanikolaou. At least Papanikolaou scored two three-pointers today.

Harden made 16 crazy free throws in this game and scored 15 points just by relying on free throws. 15 points, which is already half of Harden's personal score today.

Beverley also scored 20 points on 11 shots from beyond the three-point line. But even so, the Rockets still have no hope of winning.

Yiyang had 29 points and 13 assists. The Mavericks used a multi-point offense and an ironclad defense to toy with the Rockets. Moreover, the Mavericks won so easily even when both Wade and Dirk played less than 30 minutes.

"The entire league must be on alert. This is not a loss for me alone, but a loss for all teams in the league. If they cannot be stopped, then we can start the holiday early now!"

After the game, McMillan faced reporters' questions and gave the Mavericks such a helpless comment.

He's done his best, and his players have done their best. But in the face of an absolute disparity in strength, trying your best may sometimes not solve the problem.

"Dwight and Harden will become the best duo if they are willing to play pick-and-roll." Before the game started, Yiyang chose to remain silent in response to all provocations. But after the game, don't expect Yiyang to be "lenient".

His speech at the press conference was full of irony. Today Yiyang undoubtedly made Howard understand the huge gap between himself and the "best".

"Let us congratulate the Mavericks for their 14-game winning streak. The 14-game winning streak also tied the players for the best start in team history! The last time the Mavericks achieved a 14-game winning streak at the beginning was already in the 2002-03 season. It happened. At that time, Steve Nash and Dirk were still young teenagers. Who would have thought that 11 years later, they would touch this record again and have the opportunity to break it."

"They are an incredible team, Shaq. I bet the Dallas Mavericks in the 14-15 season will become one of the most famous teams in the history of the league!" Barkley looked at the Mavericks' upcoming schedule, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to lose throughout November...

※※※

The Mavericks defeated the Rockets and won 14 consecutive games. Logically speaking, this is not news. Now that the Mavericks lose, it is news.

But because of Howard's remarks before the game, he was "successfully" pushed to the forefront. He had 11 points and 11 rebounds in the game, with a shooting percentage of just over 50%. This is obviously not the performance that a top insider should have.

Newspapers and sports media across the United States are almost all crusading against the former league's number one center. Howard has once again become the focus of everyone's attention, but the way he is receiving attention makes him rather be forgotten.

"If Dwight puts his talking skills into the game, maybe he won't fail again."

"The super center scores another double-double, and Dwight is still No. 1 in the league, hahaha!"

"Dwight is a big man who can attack in the three-second zone, but his shooting percentage is the same as James Harden. What else can I say? He should talk less and do more!"

Yiyang is very happy that Howard can replace him as the focus of people's talk. I believe that after this, Howard should know what it means to have trouble come from his mouth.

As Barkley said, defeating the Rockets means that the Mavericks will have almost no opponents in November.

On November 24, the Dallas Mavericks faced the challenge of the Pacers at home. If it were the Pacers last season, they might be able to compete with the Mavericks for a while. After all, last year's Pacers were the legitimate No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference.

But this year, after losing David West, Paul George, Roy Hibbert and George Hill due to injuries, the Pacers seemed to have returned to before liberation overnight.

They have become a completely grassroots team, and now the team's scoring leader is C.J. Miles, who only averages 13.5 points per game.

Against such a team with all the main players injured, the Mavericks naturally didn't put in much effort. 111 to 100. If Carlisle hadn't put on a full substitute lineup in the last 8 minutes, the point difference would never have been only 11 points.

The victory in this game also allowed the Mavericks to break the 11-year-old best start record of 14 consecutive wins in team history. Starting with a 15-game winning streak, the Mavericks' performance can only be described as dreamy.

One day later, on November 26, the New York Knicks came to the American Airlines Center Arena. Even if this Knicks has Anthony, it will be difficult to challenge the Mavericks. What's more, Anthony will miss this game due to injury.

119 to 102, the New York Knicks and the word "bloodbath" seem to be forever inseparable. It's a pity that the Knicks themselves are often the ones who suffer the bloodbath every time.

Dirk scored 27 points in this game, which also brought his career total to 27,412 points, surpassing the famous Moses Malone and ranking seventh on the NBA's historical scoring list!

After the game, the Mavericks players went crazy to celebrate this great milestone in Dirk's career.

But Dirk knew very well that Yiyang, that kid, would surpass everything he had done sooner or later. His time as the Mavericks' greatest star will not last long.

On November 28th and 29th, the Mavericks will start their back-to-back Eastern Conference road trips.

In the first battle, Yiyang returned to Toronto, which he hated so much. Yiyang has not forgotten the scene where he had a high fever here last season.

When I come to Toronto again this year, Yiyang is wrapped up like a bear. But the temperature in Toronto this year is not too low, with the average low temperature being minus four or five degrees Celsius.

"It seems that the climate in Toronto is always at odds with you." Yiyang's exaggerated clothing has also become a source of relaxation for the Mavericks players.

This year's Toronto Raptors definitely don't tolerate Xiao Xu. Their record of 13 wins and 2 losses leads the pack in the Eastern Conference. In this game, the Raptors also caused a lot of trouble for the Mavericks.

The game between the two sides has been very tense. Lowry and DeRozan have given their all, hoping to defeat the defending champion to prove themselves.

But unfortunately, at the critical moment, the two guns of Wade and Yiyang were merciless, each shot a bullet, hitting both Lowry and DeRozan in the head.

Wade got inside, Mizongbu reappeared, and scored 2+1 on DeRozan. Yiyang, on the other hand, shook Lowry away from the three-point line and shot a three-pointer, piercing the Raptors' heart.

In the end, the score was fixed at 100 to 106, and the Raptors lost at home. The last two shots from Yiyang and Wade were precisely the two most deadly attacks.

At this point, the Mavericks still have one opponent left to play in November. Although they were playing back-to-back away games, no one thought the Mavericks would suffer a defeat in Philadelphia.

The 76ers are the worst team in the league this season, bar none. So far in the game, the 76ers still have not won any game. With 0 wins and 15 losses, this sour performance seems to have allowed them to lock in the No. 1 pick in the summer of 2015 early.

Facing a 0-win team, the Mavericks had no reason to show warmth. The more this kind of team looks like, the more serious the Mavericks play. Because if we lose to such an opponent, we really can’t afford to lose face.

120 to 94, Yiyang only played three quarters and scored a double-double of 30 points and 10 assists. Sometimes Yiyang really feels that he is not sure that his Bulldogs team can really defeat the current 76ers.

After defeating the 76ers, the Mavericks' record also became a terrifying 18 wins and 0 losses. The 76ers and Mavericks are really on two completely different extremes.

November has passed, and Dallas' Blue Tornado is still raging around the league without a single defeat. 18 consecutive wins to start, which is also the best start record in NBA history!

There has been no loss for more than a month, and people don't even know if the Mavericks will lose in December.

But at this time, under the light of the Mavericks, no one has noticed. The Warriors' record has also become an impressive 13 wins and 2 losses...
