One Guard

Anthony Davis received the basketball less than one meter away from the basket. Behind him, Dalembert still put a lot of pressure on him. But Davis stabilized his center of gravity, tried hard to stay in position, and used his back to feel the defense of the veteran Haitian center.

In an instant, Davis turned over and shot. Dalembert didn't dare not guard him. Today he was beaten to pieces by Davis's turnaround jumper.

Seeing Dalembert take a step forward, Anthony Davis immediately took back the raised basketball and accelerated the breakthrough!

One step, just one step, Anthony Davis passed Dalembert cleanly. In the interior position, Anthony Davis's speed is simply like Yiyang's from outside the three-point line.

Breakthrough, take off, dunk, score. Anthony Davis's movements were done in one go, without any sloppiness.

Yiyang frowned, Davis's playing style was really special.

After Davis scored, Pelicans coach Monty Williams just sat on the bench without any reaction. The coaches and players on the Mavericks side didn't seem to care about the conceded goal.

Of course, except for Yiyang. His eyes never moved away from Davis from beginning to end.

On the commentary table, Mike Breen only said "beautiful dunk" and brushed off Davis's wonderful offense.

Davis' offense was indeed exciting, and he completely manipulated the experienced Dalembert into applause. But the reason why it didn't cause any waves was because his scoring no longer meant much.

In the ninth minute of the fourth quarter, Anthony Davis' dunk gave him his 30th point of the game. However, the New Orleans Pelicans are still 25 points behind.

Chasing 25 points in 3 minutes is not impossible in the NBA. But when it comes to the Pelicans and Mavericks, the "not" in front of impossible can be removed.

Yiyang looked at Anthony Davis who was still seriously defending and attacking on the court, and felt a little admiration in his heart. The game entered garbage time early. Since Yiyang started playing hard in the second quarter, the Pelicans have never had any chance.

But Anthony Davis did not calm down. He worked hard from beginning to end, trying to narrow the score difference. Mid-range strikes, breakthrough dunks, long-range three-pointers, big blocks... Davis appears in every corner of the court, doing everything he can. This is the first time in his career that he has played in the playoffs, and he doesn't want his first playoff game to end so hastily.

"That kid is quite tenacious." Yiyang, who was sitting next to Carlisle, said with a smile.

"Indeed, it's a pity that the Pelicans' equipment and tactics cannot bring out all his talents." Carlisle also nodded approvingly.

"What if it were you? Rick. If it were you, could you let him use all his talents and talents?"

Carlisle was stunned, he didn't know if Yiyang was serious or joking.

When Mike Brin introduced everyone to Vignali's clothes from head to toe today and summarized the approximate prices, the electronic buzzer that signaled the end of the game finally sounded.

The Mavericks fans jumped to their feet one after another. The combined cheers of more than 20,000 people at the scene were deafening and seemed to make the entire arena tremble.

Anthony Davis stood in the field with his hands on his hips, silently watching everything in front of him. Is this what the playoffs feel like?

"110 to 89, the Dallas Mavericks won the game at home without any suspense. No, in fact, there was still some suspense in this game, but these suspense were ruthlessly killed in the second quarter. 1-0, legend The Mavericks won the first battle!"

The Mavericks won the game, and Mike Breen didn't look too excited. If the Mavericks lose today, it will be called a sensation in the league. But the Mavericks won, which no longer arouses much interest in Breen. After all, the Mavericks have been winning this season.

"Yi's performance is still outstanding, with 32 points and 12 assists. I am very lucky to see this kind of player who has won both the scoring and assist titles perform on the court.

Of course, Anthony Davis's data of 35 points and 13 rebounds today is even better. It is a pity that no matter how outstanding the data is, it will become worthless in the face of failure. "Mike Breen looked at the data of both sides. The Pelicans allowed the Mavericks to shoot an overall shooting percentage of 60%, while the Mavericks limited the Pelicans' shooting percentage to 42.2%. Except for Anthony Davis, the Pelicans The Pelicans could no longer find any point where they could score stably.

The gap between the two teams is not just the gap between Yiyang and Davis, but the gap in all aspects. What the Pelicans want to think about now is not to advance, but how to win a victory so that they will not be swept out.

At the press conference after the game, Yiyang greatly praised Anthony Davis' performance. Just when everyone thought Yiyang would finally say something like "Davis will be limitless in the future," the Chinese defender once again acted out of the ordinary.

"...But even if Davis plays so well. But believe me, dear reporter friends. In the next game, Rudy Gobert will let Anthony Davis know what a season is. Tough defense at the playoff level!”

After Yiyang finished speaking, he immediately announced that today's press conference was over. Everyone was confused. Why did you change your face even though you were praising it?

Hearing the chatter of the reporters behind him, Yiyang couldn't help but smile. Don't think that I will show my kindness to the enemy before the war is over!

After the game, the team's locker room. BA-level locker rooms are usually very luxurious. Each player has a lot of space to move around. Gobert doesn't have to queue up to take a shower like he did when he was still playing in France.

Gobert, shirtless and wearing only a towel, walked out of the shower room. This guy's slender figure made everyone envious, especially Dalembert, who had begun to put on weight.

Carlisle's insistence on not letting Gobert gain weight seems to be beneficial. Even without gaining weight, Gobert is already strong enough, and it still retains his mobility. Of course, the most important thing is that his legs will not be as burdened as Yao Ming.

Sitting next to Yiyang, Gobert wiped his still wet hair, suddenly stared at Yiyang, and stopped what he was doing.

Yiyang also looked at Gobert, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds. Finally, Yiyang surrendered and spread his hands. "What?"

"Also, what you just said at the press conference are all true?"

"What do you think? Whether it's true or not, that's up to you, Rudy, not up to me. 35 points, 13 rebounds, the whole world is talking about how fucking good Anthony Davis is. I just want to tell you Others, our big man is also very good." Yiyang smiled and patted Gobert on the shoulder, and then continued to change clothes.

Yiyang knows very well that the only trouble the Mavericks have now is Anthony Davis. Davis's unyielding gaze sounded the alarm for Yiyang. If the Mavericks want to easily pass 4-0, they must first get rid of Anthony Davis.

How to get him? Rely on Nowitzki? Or rely on Dalembert? Obviously not. In this team, only Rudy Gobert has the ability to deal with Anthony Davis.

By taking the lead and restricting Davis, the Mavericks avoided the risk of capsizing in the ditch.

After the training session on the second day, Yiyang and Gobert stayed to practice as usual. But today, the two did not practice separately. Yiyang walked up to Gobert holding the basketball and said something that even Gobert was confused about.

"Rudy, let's practice defense today."

Before Gobert could agree, Yiyang took the ball and took a stance outside the three-point line. "If you were asked to defend me, how would you defend me?"

Gobert realized that Yiyang was not joking, so he also became serious. Lower your center and open your arms. "Of course it's to prevent you from breaking through!"

"Really? Then how do you deal with my shooting threat." After Yiyang finished speaking, he made a pull-up jumper directly from outside the three-point line. Gobert tried hard to block the shot, but he was still just a hair away. The basketball rolled up the net, and Yiyang won.

"I will choose to continue to guard against breakthroughs, because you can't always make shots!" Gobert said, and continued to guard against Yiyang for two steps!

Yiyang did not hesitate and took action for the second time. On Gobert's head, the basketball hit again.

"Damn it!" Gobert gritted his teeth. Don't forget, the French are also very competitive guys, even though this is just training.

"When you meet someone who can really shoot, if you wait for him to shoot by himself, he will shoot you alive! It was because of this that Anthony Davis got frequent mid-range shooting opportunities yesterday. Do you think, if I am here? What will be the result if I post up against you near the three-second zone?" For the third time, Yiyang did not continue to shoot.

"to be honest?"

"to be honest."

"If you back-up me in the three-second zone, it will be like a primary school student challenging a professional player!" Gobert smiled proudly.

"Wow, you are quite confident! This is what you have to do, kid. Take me to areas where I am not good at, and fight against what you are best at. Me, I am good at killing you guys from outside. Big guy. Do you still remember the buzzer beater I scored on Marc Gasol? This is simply a living example. You have no chance on the outside! And you Rudy, in the three-second zone, you are unbeatable. Enemy."

"And Anthony Davis, although he has a height of 2.08 meters and an incredible wingspan. But he looks like a shooting guard! Breakthroughs, mid-range and even three-pointers, these are the things he relies on. Survival scoring skills. He rarely fights with his back in the three-second zone because Davis's post-up offense is not as good as people think. Even geniuses have their own weaknesses, Rudy. Bring him to Bring the penalty area into the three-second zone and force him to post up with you. Then," Yiyang paused and clenched his fists in front of Gobert. "Tear him apart!"

Seeing Gobert's eyes light up, Yiyang knew that the Pelicans' only hope had been unknowingly killed.

At that time, what most attracted Yiyang to Gobert was not only his wingspan and height, but also a sentence he once blurted out.

“I just love winning and shutting people up.”
