One Guard

Russell Westbrook, this is an opponent that Yiyang is extremely familiar with. In the 11-12 season, the Dallas Mavericks, who had just won the championship, lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals as the defending champions.

Facts have proved that the Mavericks are indeed the threshold for testing the quality of a team. The Thunder defeated the Mavericks that year, and they made it all the way to the Finals. It's just that the young Thunder Young Masters were still no match for the Heat's Big Three who were in full swing at the time. That year was also the only time the Thunder reached the Finals.

Among the Thunder, the one who left the deepest impression on Yiyang was not the height-obsessed Durant, nor the bloodthirsty shot-blocking Ibaka, but the unyielding No. 0 who directly faced him, Russell. Earl Westbrook.

Yiyang's evaluation of Westbrook is one word: fight.

He has never been afraid of physical contact. After someone fouled him, he didn't have time to repair himself, so he charged into the battle, made layups again and again, and threw himself into the air again and again. He was intercepted by his opponents and fell straight down, without even looking at his feet. On the way, he immediately got up stubbornly, wiped the remaining blood from the corners of his mouth, and set out on the journey again.

With a basketball in his hand, Westbrook usually only has two modes, one is to play by himself, and the other is to pass the ball, which is black or white. He can only switch into one situation at a time, which makes it easy for opponents to predict his next move. Of course, Yiyang also knew very well that even if you knew what he was going to do, it would be difficult for you to find a way to stop him, or even slow him down.

Westbrook is an indomitable fighter. He tries his best on the court and will not give up until the end. He has a deep love for the team. He is so dazzling and independent in the NBA. James Harden has a beard, Leonard has long arms; but what about this monster? He has unmatched physical fitness on the back line!

His first step is enough to defeat most opponents, but what's even more terrifying is his straight-line acceleration and ability to control his body in the air, which allows almost no one to really stop him as long as he charges forward.

Therefore, when Westbrook faced the camera and said, "There is no defense in this league that I can't break down," Yiyang was not surprised at all.

Westbrook is such a monster. His power and Irving's power are completely different concepts.

Yiyang can rely on its own predictions and rich playoff experience to prevent Irving from scoring. Yiyang can also do the same when facing Westbrook. But the difference is that even if he does this, he may not be able to stop No. 0.

So the day after defeating the Lakers, Yiyang came to the court early to warm up. He doesn't want to get injured due to too intense physical confrontation during the game.

"Westbrook is just a reckless bastard, you don't need to be so nervous." Seeing Yiyang exaggeratingly warming up on the sidelines, Wade started teasing him.

"I know that Westbrook is an unstable time bomb. As for whether the explosion will hurt the opponent or kill himself, no one can predict. He can make 11 of 24 shots, score 32 points, 12 rebounds, He led the team to win with an overall score of 11 assists. He can also score 51 points, 13 assists, and 10 rebounds on 17 of 43 shots, and then lose. You can occasionally see him shooting 25+8+8 with a 60% shooting rate. You can also see him losing himself in order to fill up the data sheet or to compete with Durant. To deal with such a guy, Dwayne. No matter what, you have to be prepared." Yiyang continued Stretching, talking to Wade.

"God, but you just finished a game yesterday, and today you played back-to-back games. Don't you feel tired? If I had to play against Westbrook today, I would definitely go crazy now."

"Are you tired? Maybe it's because you are older, hahahahaha."

Looking at Yiyang's always energetic look, Wade couldn't help but shake his head. In fact, it has nothing to do with age. Even for young players, consecutive back-to-back games can be very tiring.

What's more, Yiyang engages in high-intensity confrontation in almost every game. He is the core of the Mavericks, and only by playing against super players like the Lakers can Yiyang have the opportunity to be "lazy" on the court.

The reason why Yiyang is not tired is because his physical fitness is also at the "abnormal" level. Yes, Yiyang does not have an exaggeratedly strong body, and he does not have the ability to run rampant like Westbrook.

But inexhaustible physical fitness and a body that is rarely injured are also part of physical fitness.

People say Westbrook is a monster, but in Wade's view, Yiyang is nothing "normal".

While Yiyang and Wade were continuing to warm up on the court, a guy walked out from the other side of the court that both Yiyang and Wade had not expected.

There are still three hours before the start of the game. Normally, the visiting team players will not arrive so early. However, Westbrook picked up a basketball and walked onto the court.

The three of them looked at each other blankly, and the atmosphere was quite awkward for a while. Westbrook just spoke nonsense in front of the media yesterday, and the atmosphere with the Mavericks was not very friendly, and Yiyang didn't know how to greet a mortal enemy.

In the end, neither party said anything and continued to do their own thing.

That guy Westbrook came to practice so early, he must be really eager to win the game.

There is no way, since Durant was reimbursed for the season, the Thunder's record has plummeted, and Westbrook has also been questioned.

People say he has low emotional intelligence and is an out-and-out ball hog. He also cares about winning and losing, but he also cares more about his own data than other stars.

People also say that his golf IQ is not high. As an organizer, he is not as good as top brains such as Paul and Yiyang in terms of shot and passing selection.

People say he can only do five things: pull up for a jump shot, cut for a layup, cut for a pass, cut for a jump shot, and do the above four things after the pick and roll.

In his games, people saw him taking more than 30 shots too many times, or throwing randomly from outside the three-point line.

Although Westbrook averaged close to a triple-double, his personal performance was indeed outstanding. But the doubts about him have never stopped.

Westbrook is troubled, why can't he win the game in his own way? Why does he have to be like those traditional point guards, who are strict and run tactic by tactic?

He believes that he can win the game in his own way. The Dallas Mavericks are a perfect opponent!

As long as they can defeat the Mavericks, who are number one in the league and even the Cavaliers are helpless, then everyone will shut up! Westbrook can only lead the team in his own way. He is not perfect, but compared to his exciting and destructive power, his shortcomings are not worth mentioning.

Westbrook was very serious during the warm-up. It seemed that not only Yiyang, but also Westbrook wanted to have a real fight with last year's triple MVP winner today.

Seeing the two children working silently back to back, Wade couldn't help but shook his head. It’s great to be young...

※※※

At seven o'clock in the evening on December 28, half an hour before the start of the game, the entire American Airlines Center Arena was already full of people. Fans held signs with words of encouragement, hoping to help boost the morale of the Mavericks players.

Yiyang and Westbrook were already sweating profusely, and they fully moved their bodies. Next, there will definitely be a point guard battle like Mars hitting the earth.

"Since the start of the Christmas game, the Mavericks have won two consecutive games. I am very curious, Mr. Carlesimo, why are you so confident that the Thunder will eventually win?" On the commentary desk, the work of ESPN TV has also begun. conduct.

"The reason is simple. The Thunder are also on a two-game winning streak. And in the last game against the Spurs, Westbrook shot 50% from the field and scored 34 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds. He is in good shape. It's that he has gotten rid of the shadow of not having Durant. This guy never faces a battle without preparation. The reason why he rushes to speak out in front of the media shows that he is ready to win. Besides, the Mavericks are fighting back-to-back games. , physical fitness will be a big problem for them." Carlesimo kept his eyes on Westbrook, you must not let what I said become a joke!

"Indeed, Russell Westbrook is in good form, and he has just surpassed LeBron James and ranked third on the MVP prediction list. From this point of view, this game will definitely be very fierce and exciting. Okay, The starting players of both sides have already stepped onto the court. They are also on the same level as Westbrook. Let us get ready to witness the whole process of this exciting battle!"

"Look at Mike, Westbrook will tear him into pieces. He will prove that he is the real MVP and the most powerful point guard in the West. After this game, Westbrook will definitely not Only ranked third. Such a guy should not be drowned in the public's saliva." Carlesimo's eyes became focused, your good days are over, Chinese!

Westbrook and Yiyang walked onto the court at the same time, and the two energetic young men couldn't wait to compete.

"You should know very well that you can't guard me. Don't expect you to keep me from scoring for five minutes like you did on Christmas Day. I'm not Kyrie Irving. I only know those flashy tricks." At this time. , Westbrook spoke next to Yiyang, but the two young people still didn't look at each other, just communicating with their mouths. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to notice that the two of them are talking.

"You can come and try, Russell. One round after the game starts, you can come and try. You said that no one can stop your impact, that's just because you haven't encountered the strongest defense yet." Yiyang responded forcefully, without turning his head to look at Westbrook.

Westbrook smiled and then stood at the designated position.

Once the game starts, you won't be able to talk nonsense anymore, Yiyang. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are going to cause some havoc in Dallas today!
