One Guard

People used to say that Carter would probably be the only person in NBA history who could win both the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest if he had participated in the Three-Point Contest that year.

But now, fans don’t have to use the “what ifs.” Because a player who can not only win the slam dunk contest but also be the three-point king has stood in front of everyone alive.

Although Westbrook is the MVP of this All-Star Game, his popularity is far less than that of Yiyang, the three-point king.

The number of views on the Internet for this year's Three-Point Contest has broken previous records, and the video of Yiyang and D'Angelo Russell's ten-second duel has also gone viral across the United States.

Mark even joked with Yiyang in the locker room: You guys, have you already started to cross boundaries and teach rookies in advance?

However, Yiyang eliminated the cheerful atmosphere of the All-Stars on February 19th.

After the All-Star Game, the first opponent of Yiyang and the Mavericks was none other than the All-Star Game MVP winner, Russell Westbrook and his Oklahoma City Thunder!

As soon as the All-Star Game ended, the league directly pushed the regular season to its climax.

The All-Star MVP plays against the three-point king. Such a gimmick is enough to make fans excited.

Westbrook naturally wanted to regain his face, after all, he was beaten so badly by Yiyang last time.

And today, he did bring a lot of trouble to the Mavericks.

As soon as the game started, Westbrook assisted Ibaka to score easily at the basket. Although it was just an ordinary assist, it shocked Carlisle.

This guy Westbrook also started passing the ball?

Westbrook is not stupid, he knows why he lost to the Mavericks last time. So this time, Westbrook learned the lesson. He connected himself with Ibaka and gave the Mavericks' defense a huge blow!

On the defensive end, the Thunder did a little better than last time. The tough confrontation between Ibaka and veteran Nick Collison made the Mavericks players who had just returned from vacation very uncomfortable.

Nowitzki frequently hit the ball under Ibaka's blocking, and Wade also missed many times in the penalty area today. Even Iguodala, who has always been steady, had a terrible shooting percentage today.

After halftime, no one among the Mavericks' starting five, except Yiyang, could shoot over 40%.

The failure on the defensive end and the inefficiency on the offensive end gave the Thunder a 15-point lead at half-time.

"After Westbrook won the All-Star Game MVP, he seems to have become more responsible. Today he is no longer obsessed with personal data, but is trying to lead the team to victory. In the first half of the game, Westbrook has sent out 5 times Assists, 5 real assists. The defending champions must slow down, otherwise, they will be very far away from the record of 72 wins!"

"Don't take it lightly, I still have to do my best in the second half of the game! No one can let me down my guard until the last second!" At halftime, even though he had a huge advantage of 15, Thunder coach Brooks did not relax at all.

He knows very well that the Mavericks are not a team that can be killed so easily. If the players take it lightly, the Mavericks will definitely be able to stage a comeback!

After Brooks' reminder, in the second half of the game, the Thunder players still performed steadily. Westbrook still played very reasonably and didn't mess around.

It seems that he is really eager to win!

But the defending champion would not sit still. In the second half of the game, everyone adjusted their condition.

First, Nowitzki hit a three-pointer from Yiyang, and then Yiyang and Gobert cooperated with the alley-oop, dunking the ball into silence in the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Ten seconds later, Yiyang chased and hit Westbrook with a three-pointer in the face, showing off his three-point king style.

After a while, the Mavericks narrowed the point difference to single digits. But do you think the Mavericks rely on their offense to achieve this? On the contrary, they rely on defense!

Westbrook's playing is indeed reasonable.

But reasonableness does not allow the Thunder to get a chance every time they attack.

Gobert and Dirk switched defenses, making it difficult for Ibaka to move. Yiyang also strengthened the physical contact between Westbrook and prevented him from releasing the ball easily.

"The better the defense, the better the offense!" Carlisle said this to the players during halftime, lingering in everyone's ears.

In this attack, the Thunder were defended for another 24 seconds. In the end, Westbrook wanted to get a foul at the last moment by attacking the basket.

But Yiyang didn't let him succeed. Yiyang saw the opportunity and put his hand around Westbrook's side, and cut the ball away!

After cutting away the basketball, Yiyang quickly advanced and completed the attack with a tomahawk chop. At this time, the point difference between the Mavericks and the Thunder was only 6 points!

In other words, both parties are basically back on the same starting line!

After coming back to their senses, the Mavericks did not "disappoint" Coach Brooks. They really caused huge trouble to the Thunder.

Yiyang led his teammates in a fierce pursuit, but on the Thunder team, Westbrook was unwilling to give up.

As a result, the two sides fought until the last 28.5 seconds, and the score was tied!

In this attack, Yiyang continued his big-hearted nature. He started when there were only 5 seconds left in the 24-second attack time. He drove past Westbrook, then pulled back with his hips, made a mid-range step-back jumper, and scored the ball the moment the backboard light came on!

"Yes, he shows his true qualities as a killer! The more critical the moment, the more threatening he becomes! A near-definite kill, this is a near-definite kill!"

Westbrook gritted his teeth. Was he going to be defeated by Yiyang for the second time?

No, Westbrook is unwilling to give in. I am the MVP of the All-Star Game, how could I be knocked down so easily!

In the last 4.5 seconds, Brooks used up his last timeout. There is no doubt that Westbrook, who performed well today, will be the one to execute this crucial shot.

At the last moment, Ibaka and Collison set up a double pick-and-roll for Westbrook.

Tony Allen quickly changed defense. He believed that Westbrook would not pass the ball in the last attack!

But today, Westbrook, who was in excellent form, relied on Tony Allen to get into the penalty area and score the ball!

The score was evened and Westbrook sent the game into overtime!

"Damn it!" The moment Westbrook scored, Carlisle couldn't help but cursed.

No one wants to play overtime. At this mid-to-late stage of the regular season, every drop of physical fitness of the players is extremely valuable.

Moreover, the damn schedule after the All-Star Game also prevents the Mavericks from allowing overtime...

"We can't waste time with them anymore. I want you to continue to defend solidly in overtime! Don't let them score easily and block every possible space!" Carlisle picked up the tactical board, which was already densely drawn.

Yiyang clenched his fists and entered the field, but things did not go as smoothly as expected.

The Mavericks' defense is already very tight, but the Thunder can always find gaps.

Westbrook miraculously escaped from the blockade of Yiyang and Tony Allen and succeeded in a layup.

Ibaka still made a shot even though Gobert was blocking his face.

Even Nick Collison miraculously completed a tip-in in the penalty area.

But similarly, the Thunder can't do anything against the Mavericks!

Yiyang led his teammates to counterattack. As the Thunder players' physical fitness was depleted, their defense and defense changes became slower and slower. As a result, the Mavericks will have more and more openings.

In the last 7.2 seconds of the game, Westbrook's mid-range jumper missed the frame due to Yiyang's interference. At that moment, all Thunder fans hugged their heads. All of them thought that this game that lasted for so long was finally lost!

But unexpectedly, Ibaka, who was desperately trying, was stunned and took the rebound off Gobert's head. After landing, Ibaka turned over and made a jump shot! The basketball passed Gobert's fingertips and fell straight into the net!

"The amazing Congolese man, he saved the Oklahoma City Thunder! It's over, this bitter battle is finally over. Westbrook succeeded in revenge, and he avenged his shame!"

Is it really over? Yiyang did not agree to accept such an ending.

In the last 3.2 seconds of the game, the Mavericks had no timeouts. It stands to reason that this game should indeed be over.

But the Mavericks and Yiyang have never been able to reason with you.

When serving the baseline ball, Nowitzki passed the ball directly to the frontcourt! Westbrook clung to Yiyang, using his strong body to put pressure on Yiyang and prevent him from catching the ball.

Yiyang is indeed very difficult. That guy Westbrook's confrontation ability is too strong.

But he still tried his best to keep his center of gravity, stretched out his long arms, and stunned Nowitzki's long pass!

"Yi actually caught the basketball, what will he do!?" In the commentary box, Reggie Miller, who was responsible for commentating the game, had lost his mind and yelled crazily.

The moment Yiyang received the ball, it also meant that 3.2 seconds began to pass. He has no way to get rid of Westbrook, he can only force the shot against Westbrook's defense!

The moment Yiyang took off, he was pushed up by Westbrook and lost his center of gravity. With his body completely out of control, Yiyang took action quickly!

Everyone's attention is focused on the basketball. Westbrook has already guarded it. There is no way Yiyang can score again!

At this time, what Buckley said came true - in Yiyang's world, there is no such thing as impossible!

The basketball hit the front edge of the basket, but instead of popping out, it bounced high.

At this time, the red light on the backboard has turned on. The outcome of this game depends entirely on whether the basketball will hit the net after falling.

Then the next second, the net rolled and the basketball entered the frame, two points valid!

"Go in, go in, go in! The ball actually went in! Also, he forced the game into the second overtime!"

There was silence in the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Seeing victory in sight, Yiyang kicked him away. Thunder fans and players are all demoralized. What on earth are they going to do to defeat the damn Dallas Mavericks?

The second overtime completely turned into a duel between the two star guards Yiyang and Westbrook.

Because at this time, others no longer have any extra energy to cope with the competition. Dirk, Wade, Iguodala, Gobert, including Ibaka from the Thunder, everyone was panting.

Only Yiyang and Westbrook were not blushing and their hearts were not beating. Aren't they tired? tired. But the strong desire to win in their hearts suppressed their feeling of tiredness.

In the second overtime, Yiyang and Westbrook fought back and forth. Both sides scored 40 points. It was undoubtedly a point guard battle worthy of being recorded in history.

But now that the overtime has been played, the competition is no longer just about skills, but about perseverance!

Can you survive to the end with little support from your teammates?

In the last 34 seconds of the game, Yiyang used a beautiful change of direction to pass Westbrook, who was obviously no longer in rhythm.

The moment Westbrook turned around to chase after him, Yiyang retreated back from beyond the three-point line. The sudden step-back three-point jumper is Yiyang's trump card!

Westbrook stretched out his hand in despair, but finally heard the sound of the net rolling. Yiyang hit a three-pointer and killed the game "again"!

"This game is really exciting, and Westbrook and I are playing deadly tricks! Now, the Mavericks are leading by three points, how will Westbrook respond at the last moment!?" Although because of double overtime, Mi Le's start time had to be postponed.

But he didn't feel bored at all. Such exciting games could not be seen all the time!

In the last 20 seconds of the game, when Westbrook saw the death-defying look in Yiyang's eyes, he almost couldn't hold on anymore.

That damn number one, his physical energy seems to be inexhaustible. No matter when, he can fight with you!

Just after halftime, Westbrook felt Yiyang's "enthusiasm". This time, it was Yiyang who put pressure on Westbrook!

Under Yiyang's strong confrontation, Westbrook, whose physical fitness was close to being exhausted, could not move even an inch.

Although Ibaka and Collison were in the pick-and-roll, Yiyang could easily get back to Westbrook after his speed had dropped.

After fighting for dozens of seconds, Westbrook couldn't even reach the three-point line! Yiyang's defense made the Thunder fans at the scene feel half cold.

In the end, Westbrook made a three-pointer. However, due to Yiyang's interference and physical exhaustion, this three-pointer was missed!

"The game is over! Yiyang persisted until the end, and he and his Dallas Mavericks won the final victory of the game!" Reggie Miller jumped up from the bench, surrounded by Thunder players who were holding their heads in annoyance. fan.

This is a great victory. Yiyang achieved the most beautiful result under the most difficult circumstances. But after the game, Yiyang had a sad face and no smile at all.

Reporters have already rushed forward, and a reporter from TNT TV station was the first to gain access to Yiyang.

"Also, the Mavericks fought hard in double overtime today and won a big victory. There is no doubt that this was a very shocking performance, but after playing double overtime today, how are you going to deal with the Houston Rockets!?"

This is why Yiyang and Carlisle still looked sad even after winning the competition. Tomorrow, the Mavericks return to Dallas for a back-to-back against the Rockets. But today's game has brought more wear and tear to the Mavericks than is normal.

Tomorrow, how should we fight against the Rockets?

This is indeed a great victory, but it is an annoying victory.
