One Guard

Yiyang's response immediately caused an uproar in the basketball circle. Although Sam Smith is indeed just a reporter, he is also an extremely famous kind of reporter. Except for Jordan, few people would disagree with him so forcefully.

In fact, Sam Smith speaks very sharply. Even Jordan himself couldn't bear it. So now he and Jordan are no longer friends. But it's clear that Sam Smith now needs another guy like Jordan to add to his career.

"It's a good thing for young people to be aggressive, but they can't be blindly confident. If a young guy is arrogant, he will pay the price soon. I have seen too many such guys."

The next day, Sam Smith responded to Yiyang on his Twitter. Although he didn't mention him by name, everyone knew that he was responding to Yiyang.

Under this tweet, countless people left @comments on Yiyang’s Twitter account. These fans who don't mind the matter naturally want to see a wonderful scolding battle.

However, Yiyang had no intention of replying at all. A few years ago, Yiyang would not respond to any provocation. In the past two years, Yiyang has occasionally responded to some opponents of sufficient weight, or some guys who have gone too far.

But what about Sam Smith? He is not a basketball player, and what he said did not cross Yiyang's bottom line. Therefore, Yiyang didn't bother to deal with the bad-tempered old man at all. He still has many things to do of his own.

He was once Jordan's royal reporter. He was once one of the creators of the league's creation of Jordan's star. He once represented Jordan against all the media in the world. He was indeed very amazing.

But all this is based on a precondition - once.

Sam Smith, like Jordan, no longer dominates the league. Their bloody 1990s has long passed, and now the 21st century has entered its second decade.

Sam Smith said that those who are arrogant will soon pay the price, but those who always live in the past usually end up not much better.

With something like Sam Smith, the Mavericks are now attracting the attention of thousands of people. For the Mavericks, every game they play is an important game. The result of every game will determine the greatest record in NBA history!

Many media sent reporters to follow up on the Mavericks. From the players' training to eating, drinking, and even the position the players used to sleep with their wives tonight, the media is eager to dig out everything.

This is the business league, the most high-profile team, and its business value is very exaggerated.

For the Mavericks, they don't have time to think about how much exposure 72 wins will bring them. Now, they should consider two teams from Los Angeles, the Lakers and Clippers.

After only one day of rest after losing to the Warriors, the Mavericks continued their road trip. This time, Yiyang came to the place he was extremely familiar with, the "City of Angels", Los Angeles.

Five years ago, the scene of meeting Kobe at Venice Beach Stadium is still vivid in my mind. At that time, the Lakers and Kobe were still the absolute hegemons of the league. At that time, Yiyang did not expect that he could become a team icon like Dirk.

But now, five years later, everything has changed. The Los Angeles Lakers have now become an out-and-out weak team. What they are struggling with now is not the championship, but whether they should choose Karl-Anthony Towns or the one who was defeated by Yiyang in the All-Star Game. D'Angelo Russell.

Kobe's injury again and the Lakers' lineup was in disarray, which made the management determined to make it worse. Therefore, this game should not cause too much trouble for the Mavericks.

Even so, when Yiyang and his teammates came on the court, the proud Los Angeles fans booed in unison.

In the United States, there are two cities where fans hate Yiyang extremely.

One is San Antonio and the other is Los Angeles.

From the elimination of the Lakers in 2011, which led to the end of the Lakers dynasty, to the elimination of the Clippers last season, Paul left with hatred. The Dallas Mavericks have always been a major threat to the Los Angeles team, and Yiyang has blocked the promotion dreams of Los Angeles fans countless times.

Therefore, even if the Lakers are now unable to resist the league's first place, the fans here do not want to admit defeat in terms of momentum.

As a result, don’t tell me yet. Maybe the shouts of the fans really had an effect. Today, the Los Angeles Lakers played really well.

The performance of Jordan Clarkson, a small defender, made both Carlisle and Yiyang shine. After Nick Young was injured, Clarkson, who got more opportunities to perform, really shined. Lakers fans even claimed that he is the real future of the Lakers!

A second-round pick averaged 12 points per game in the first season of his career. This is indeed a remarkable achievement. In the past month, Clarkson's scoring average is an incredible 16.2!

In addition to Clarkson, Boozer and Wesley Johnson, who have been out of the spotlight for a long time, also performed well.

"I can't believe that three quarters have passed and the Los Angeles Lakers are still clinging to the score!" Chris Webber on the commentary desk shook his head. If the Lakers can perform like this every game, they will also It’s not like they can’t even make the playoffs.

"Keep your composure, we played well, but the opponent just happened to be in great condition! Stabilize the situation, as long as we persist in the last 12 minutes, victory will belong to us!" During the break, Carlisle did not arrange many tactics, and It's more about easing the players' psychology.

Facing a weak team and fighting for three quarters, this is a very difficult moment for the Mavericks, which has experienced two consecutive losses.

There is the pressure of a 72-win record and two consecutive losses, and the attention of fans and enemies around the world. At this time, everyone on the Mavericks team is actually under a lot of pressure. What Carlisle has to do is to relieve this pressure.

If they lose again, the Mavericks, who have lost confidence, are likely to lose several games in a row. Carlisle couldn't let this happen, and neither could Yiyang.

So when the electronic buzzer sounded, Yiyang was the first to stand up from the bench.

"Come on, let's finish this game!" Yiyang moved his arms. It was obvious that he didn't want to play with a team like the Lakers anymore.

As soon as the fourth quarter started, Yiyang showed great aggression. Facing Clarkson's defense, Yiyang did not try to cover. Instead, he passed Clarkson through a series of quick and very confusing hand changes.

Clarkson is indeed very talented, but his talent cannot be compared with top players.

After passing Clarkson, Yiyang will face Jordan Hill, who has dreadlocks and looks like a primitive man.

The only impression Hill left on Yiyang was that this guy was really good at dancing. what about others? There is almost no more.

The best way to deal with this kind of jumping man is not to be harsh, but to trick him into jumping with you and then solve the problem.

So, Yiyang used a beautiful jump step to get to the basket. But Hill thought Yiyang wanted to go straight for a layup, so he was deceived.

After landing, Yiyang immediately took off twice directly under the basket. He shot a reverse basket to the left and scored easily. 86 to 80, Yiyang opened the score as soon as he came up.

Then the Lakers attacked, and Wesley Johnson scored a lot of points today. This shooter-type forward felt very hot today. He twice resisted Iguodala's defense and still scored the ball.

But Yiyang could tell that Johnson didn't even know how he shot the ball. It was really just luck and feel. Therefore, as long as Iguodala exerts confrontation, the thin Johnson will be at a loss.

Yiyang is worthy of being a coach on the court, because just now, Carlisle told Iguodala the same thing. The coach and the point guard are highly consistent in their thinking, which may be one of the reasons why the Mavericks are successful.

Just look at how many coaches that smart guy Rondo has had conflicts with, and you will know how valuable the relationship between Carlisle and Yiyang is.

Iguodala took the initiative to seek physical contact and did not even give Johnson a chance to connect with the ball. The thin Wesley Johnson himself is not an excellent off-ball attacker. Facing Iguodala's defense, he has nothing to do.

In the end, Clarkson had no choice but to call Black to cover him. He wanted to break through Yiyang!

"Hmph, you're quite brave, you rookie." Yiyang secretly underestimated in his heart that Clarkson had misjudged the situation!

"Big Black" Blake was in position for the pick-and-roll, and Clarkson slightly raised his center of gravity and prepared to speed around. But the moment Clarkson raised his focus, in Yiyang's opinion, it was full of loopholes!

Reach out quickly, poke the ball decisively, and accelerate the pursuit! Yiyang used three simple and clear steps to steal the basketball before Clarkson accelerated!

Clarkson ran after Yiyang, looking at the figure with the number 1 printed on its back in disbelief. How could anyone in this world be able to make such an accurate steal! ?

In fact, it is very easy for a guy who makes Chris Paul extremely jealous to steal Clarkson, a first-year rookie.

Clarkson could only watch as Yiyang walked away, using his most incredible bounces and stretches to wreak havoc on the Staples Center basket.

With an 8-point difference, Yiyang is taking over the game!

"No chance, no chance for the Lakers. They played well in three quarters, but in the last quarter, no one could keep up with Yi's rhythm." Weber shook his head, the poor Los Angeles Lakers, they seemed to have angered the most undeserving Angry guy.

Yiyang turned on the scoring mode, while the others defended with all their strength. In the final quarter of the game, the Dallas Cowboys did not give the Lakers any chance.

Clarkson may become a star in the future and even win a Sixth Man of the Year award. But compared with the "greatest", he is not even a little bit behind.

Yiyang never stopped until the point difference was stretched to double digits and Byron Scott had to interrupt the game. Yiyang's scoring pace finally stopped.

Dallas No. 1 scored 8 points in a row after the start of the fourth quarter, completely blinding the Lakers. This confusion lasted until the end of the game.

The Lakers lack a star who can make the final decision, and the Mavericks have an expert in making the final decision.

In the end, Yiyang scored 40 points and 10 assists, plus 3 steals and 2 blocks at the Staples Center. 40 points, which is also Yiyang's highest score since scoring 52 points in double overtime against the Thunder on February 19.

Throughout the game, Kobe wore a suit and watched from the sidelines. In the first three quarters, Kobe made no big moves. But in the last quarter of the game, Kobe spent the entire game with a "jaw dropped" expression.

In Kobe's view, Yiyang's ability to finish the game is no worse than his own at his peak.

Even though the Mavericks eliminated the Lakers that year, Kobe still never thought that Yiyang would reach such heights.

"100 to 90, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Lakers without any danger, giving the opponent an eight-game losing streak! Before the game started, Sam Smith said some things that the Mavericks players didn't like. But today's performance is undoubtedly That's the best response." Chris Webber has never been a fan of Yiyang, and he doesn't know why Barkley is so obsessed with this kid.

But today, Weber seems to know why.

That Dallas No. 1 can always create some unexpected surprises for you in the game.

After the game, not only Yiyang, but also Kobe, who did not participate in the game, became the darling of the media.

Several local Los Angeles media intercepted Kobe on the sidelines and asked him a question that made Kobe smile.

"How do you view the conflict between Yi and Sam? I can only say that old Sam doesn't understand Yi well enough. He doesn't know how amazing Yi is."

There was something Yiyang said that Kobe strongly agreed with. Sam couldn't put on a jersey and fight against Yiyang. So he will never know how terrifying his opponent is.

This time, you really messed with the wrong person, old Sam.
