One Guard

After Kyrie Irving and James left Miami, he became the only hope for Cleveland. Facts have proved that Irving is definitely worthy of the title of No. 1 pick. In the past few years in Cleveland, although the Cavaliers were still weak, there was no doubt about Irving's strength.

People are waiting for Irving to rise like Yiyang and lead the Cavaliers back to the top. But who would have thought that James would join forces with Irving.

No one could have imagined that James would actually leave Miami. He stayed there for only four years and won two O'Brien Trophies, which can be said to be very efficient. It is precisely because of James that the entire league is on the road to "quick championship". The owners of each team spend their money desperately just to allow the stars to play on the same team.

However, even winning two championships in four years is no longer enough to satisfy James' ambitions. In the two years when the Heat failed, they all lost to the Dallas Mavericks. He realized that the Dallas Mavericks and Yiyang were the hurdles he had to overcome in his career.

The Miami Heat are obviously not a good place to deal with the Mavericks. So, James chose to leave and return to Cleveland. Teaming up with Irving and Love, the world was once again shocked by James' appeal.

He made Decision 2.0 with only one purpose, which was to defeat the Mavericks and win the championship!

Defeating the Mavericks must start in the regular season!

Kyrie Irving did not disappoint James. In the past two rounds, he bravely stood up and helped James share the burden.

Facts have proved that although Irving and James both need to have the ball in their hands to exert their greatest power, this will not affect their coexistence.

The score was tied again, and Yiyang no longer regarded James as the only threat. Owen was a troublesome guy for Yiyang before, but now that he has grown up, he has become one of Yiyang's biggest enemies.

In the next round of attack, Yiyang did not let Owen stop. His breakthrough forced the Cavaliers No. 2 to grit his teeth and keep up, but it's useless just to keep up with Yiyang unless you can keep up with the entire Mavericks team.

After Yiyang breaks through, the Cavaliers' lineup is bound to shrink. They can't let this mvp get out of shape or start scoring mode. Otherwise, it would not be unusual for Yiyang to score 50 points today.

James and Irving came towards Yiyang, and Yiyang naturally would not act recklessly. He raised the basketball high and swung it hard, and the target was Iguodala!

James turned around quickly, trying to cover up to Iguodala. In fact, this was all planned by James. Force Yiyang to pass the ball, and then immediately return to defense to block it. He would rather bet that Iguodala wouldn't make the shot than watch Irving being smashed into pieces by Yiyang.

But when James turned to look at Iguodala, Iguodala didn't have a basketball in his hand! James turned around in surprise and saw that Yiyang had already relied on Irving for a successful layup!

"On the fake fax, this action completely deceived James. To be honest, even I thought he was going to pass the ball just now. His fake action was very realistic. I believe even Iguodala didn't know that Yiyang was a fake. action."

Barkley was telling the truth. Iguodala had just been ready to catch and shoot. As everyone knows, Yiyang's passing movement stopped abruptly at the moment of passing the ball, and then he suddenly made a layup, catching Irving off guard.

Irving and James found that it was very difficult for them to contain the offense led by Yiyang.

But on the other hand, James and Irving, who are full of firepower, cannot be defended by the Mavericks.

This game is destined to last until the last minute, and it is also destined to be a game where the winner is decided by a superstar.

Then, as people thought, James and Irving were everywhere, and Love's cold shots from time to time also hit the target.

What about the Mavericks? Yiyang himself has a very strong scoring ability, and he can also connect his teammates. Especially Wade and Dirk, these two people are very successful under Yiyang's organization.

Wade's state is so good that even James finds it unbelievable.

If you had played like this in the finals last season, we wouldn't have reached this point, brother.

The game continued like this until the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. James' fast break encountered a three-man block from the Mavericks. If it had been last season, James would have had to fight hard even if he faced a three-man block.

But this time, James, who caught everyone's attention in the Mavericks, turned into a pass in the air. The basketball flew into the hands of Irving outside the three-point line. Irving's terrifying 41.5% three-point shooting rate this season is unmatched by Wade in any season of his career.

Yiyang pounced on Owen in despair, but nothing could be done to save him. Irving would not waste this opportunity to take an open shot. The three-pointer went straight to the net, and the Cavaliers went ahead by two points!

"This is the role of Kyrie Irving next to LeBron. His three-pointers are very deadly. As long as the Mavericks give them space, they will wait to lose points!"

At the same time, Carlisle called a halt to the game. Irving and James' ability to create opportunities for each other is too strong, because both of them are very threatening offensive points individually.

But at this time, in order to cut off the connection between the two, Carlisle could only make a risky move.

"You mean," after listening to Carlisle's arrangement, Iguodala looked at his coach in surprise. "No assistance, complete one-on-one defense?"

"That's right, complete one-on-one defense. If LeBron and Irving play a pick-and-roll, then you and I will change positions decisively. In short, there cannot be a situation where multiple people are defending one person. Complete one-on-one defense, forcing them Go play singles!”

Carlisle looked at Yiyang and Iguodala. Next, the defensive pressure on these two people will be the greatest.

For scorers of James and Irving's caliber, it's difficult for help defense to contain them, let alone pure one-on-one defense. But doing so is indeed the best way to prevent them from getting easy scoring opportunities.

The individual defense capabilities of Yiyang and Iguodala will be the key to determining the direction of the game.

Iguodala looked at Yiyang. This was probably the most challenging defensive figure the two of them had ever faced.

James and Irving are both players who rely on their brains to play. They can play with or without the ball. This also means that Iguodala and Yiyang must concentrate every second. With one distraction, James and Irving will get scoring opportunities.

"Any questions?" Carlisle asked when the two of them didn't answer.

"No!" After confirming their looks, Yiyang and Iguodala answered in unison.

"The timeout ended and the game restarted. The Cavaliers were very tenacious, and Irving's three-pointer allowed them to tie the score again. This is the tenth time today that the two sides have alternated the lead."

"LeBron and Irving cooperated very well on the offensive end today. This is the reason why the Cavaliers have been able to persist until now. When a team has two super scorers, it is indeed difficult to contain the opponent's offense."

On the commentary table, O'Neal and Kenny Smith were full of praise for the Cavaliers' offense. But Barkley kept silent. He knew very well that the Mavericks would not leave those two guys alone.

After the timeout, the Mavericks took the lead in attacking. Iguodala and Yiyang both have to focus all their energy on the defensive end, so now the offensive power is in the hands of Wade and Dirk.

Wade and Nowitzki played a simple pick-and-roll and broke through Waiters for a layup. The Cavaliers' attention was still on Yiyang, and their defense against Wade was not tight.

Afterwards, Yiyang and Iguodala paid full attention. In the Cavaliers' offensive round, their mission begins.

As soon as Irving advanced, James took the ball from outside the three-point line.

But this time, the physical confrontation between Iguodala and James can be described as rough. He stayed in front of James and didn't even give the opponent a chance to connect with the ball.

James shook off Iguodala's arm and continued to ask for the ball, but soon, Iguodala wrapped around him again.

He is not afraid of physical confrontation and is not afraid of physical confrontation with James. Seeing that James had no chance, Irving waved for Love to cover.

But Yiyang took his position in advance, and the moment Irving bypassed the pick-and-roll, Yiyang squeezed in and blocked it perfectly!

James ran without the ball and cut into the basket. Irving raised his hand and was about to pass the ball, but the action stopped abruptly. Iguodala went up without reservation, and the hand-to-hand battle between him and James was fierce.

At this time, because Irving held the ball with both hands, he could no longer dribble, and James was temporarily unable to get a chance. So, Irving had no choice but to give the ball to Love.

But unfortunately, due to Nowitzki's interference, Love's three-pointer did not hit. Defense beyond the three-point line is the focus of the Mavericks today.

"It missed, the Cavaliers missed, they didn't add to the score! Yi controlled the ball and advanced slowly, and he just passed the ball high after halftime! Rudy Gobert and Tristan Thompson couldn't touch it at all. The height is coming! Boom! Alley-oop dunk, another classic collaboration with Rudy Gobert!" Barkley finally spoke, more excited than O'Neal and Kenny Smith just now.

"It seems that after that timeout, Carlisle's coach's strategy was absolute one-on-one defense." Kenny Smith touched his chin.

"Yes, the effect is obvious." Barkley did not hide his love for the Mavericks.

"Really? I think Coach Carlisle is digging his own grave!"

An alley-oop dunk boosted the Mavericks' morale. As a result, Irving and James encountered an even tighter defense in the next round!

Irving was completely blocked from the three-point line by Yiyang, and James provided a screen for Irving. The two men's screens were so successful before, and this is also the reason why the Cavaliers have been able to hold on to the score.

But this time, Iguodala and Yiyang didn't hesitate at all and immediately switched defenses!

Iguodala went to block Irving, while Yiyang stayed with James!

This is an opportunity for James. Iguodala can use his body to compete with James, but Yiyang does not have such ability.

James held Yiyang up with one hand, then ran towards the penalty area, raising his hand for the ball as he ran.

Irving did not hesitate. With a flick of his wrist during the march, Irving sent the ball steadily to James' hands.

James smiled slightly. With Yiyang's small body, there was no way he could defend himself!

Physically, Yiyang certainly couldn't beat James. Not only Yiyang, there are only a handful of players in the entire league who can compete physically with James.

If everything goes well, James can easily score a layup leaning on Yiyang. But while James was dribbling the ball forward, Yiyang, who was hanging next to the "little emperor", stretched out his long arm and poked the basketball in James' hand.

Yiyang struck quickly and accurately, catching James off guard. Although Yiyang failed to poke the ball away directly, he disrupted James' dribbling.

He had to stumble to regain control of the ball, and then directly shot from close range in the chaos.

But at this time, James has missed the best opportunity to attack. Yiyang's delay was enough for Gobert to come to help defend.

The French tower blocked the sky and knocked James' shot out of the penalty area. Carlisle was so excited that he waved his arms vigorously. Who said Yiyang couldn't guard against James!

Wade, who has a keen sense of smell, caught the basketball that was kicked out by Gobert and launched a fast break. James tried his best to chase back, but in the end he couldn't catch up with his good brother after starting from the basket.

Wade still succeeded in a layup despite the physical confrontation with Waiters. With his 25th point, Wade gave James a very good response!

The game ended with three minutes, but the Cavaliers' offense was in trouble. Iguodala stuck to James again, and a huge sense of oppression came instantly.

Then, Owen passed Yiyang with a beautiful turn. Yiyang had to admit that Irving was indeed very powerful. Irving was probably the only defender in this league who could beat him one-on-one.

Although he passed Yiyang, he did not throw him away. Irving rushed to the mid-range position, deliberately seeking physical confrontation to squeeze Yiyang to gain space for himself, and then threw directly.

Little did he know that before Irving raised the basketball, the ball was slapped away from the side by Yiyang!

"Clean block, Kyrie Irving thought Yi's defense was too simple!"

Owen looked at Yiyang in surprise, but found that the guy just stared at him fiercely and said nothing. But even so, it already made Owen feel creepy.

Is this the strength of the man who can directly shut down Lillard?

The basketball was fanned by Yiyang and flew into the audience. The ball was still in the Cavaliers' possession. But Yiyang didn't care. He moved his arms, still staring at Owen, and opened his arms in front of him.

At this time, Kenny Smith no longer dared to speak.

Perhaps for other teams, purely defending James and Irving alone is digging their own graves. But for a team like the Mavericks, they might really be able to contain the offensive pace of two super scorers at the same time.

With the Mavericks, anything magical can happen.
