One Guard

In the first quarter, although the Grizzlies finally tied the score, Lionel Hollins was not satisfied with the team's performance.

For a team that prides itself on defense, the Grizzlies allowed the Mavericks to score 29 points in the first quarter. Among them, when Yiyang was on the court, the Mavericks even opened the score with a wave of consecutive goals.

Hollins' eyes fell on Tony Allen, but quickly moved away. If Tony Allen plays, the Grizzlies' outside offensive firepower will be greatly reduced. The coach still decided to wait for a while. If Yiyang still performs well after playing in the second quarter, it won't be too late to replace him with Tony Allen.

"Continue to use breakthroughs to attack the Mavericks' defense! The later the game, the old Kidd's performance will become worse due to the intense physical consumption. I want you to consume him. Even if you can't score, you can still create opportunities for your teammates. There is no need to be afraid, Mike, this is not Jason's era!" Hollins had high hopes for Mike Conley, after all, Conley Jr. had indeed shown some superstar potential in his performance in the last game.

Soon, the game restarted. But when the Mavericks players came on the court, Hollins froze for a moment. Kidd did not continue to play, and was replaced by Yiyang who had an excellent performance in the first quarter! And Yiyang's backcourt partner has also changed from Jose Barea to the more mature "Jet" Terry.

Terry bumped fists with Yiyang after playing, and Terry would be very excited every time he played with Yiyang at the same time. Although Conley has nothing on the surface, he is full of fighting spirit in his heart.

In the first quarter, Yiyang almost stole the limelight from Conley. Now, of course young Conley wants to respond!

"Coach Carlisle didn't follow the rotation of the previous game this time. He got the player on the field ahead of time. It seems that Tanhua, who performed well in the first quarter, will be given a heavy responsibility!"

Accompanied by everyone's expectations, Yiyang took the baseline ball from the Mavericks substitute French center Johan Petro, and started a new quarter of the game.

In the first quarter, Yiyang was matching the team's starting lineup. With Nowitzki and others present, Yiyang can easily complete the assist.

But now, in addition to Marion, the Mavericks field, the other four are from the second team. The offensive power of the Mavericks' second team is far less powerful than that of the starting lineup.

When the team's substitute insider Ian Mahinmi leaned against Randolph, it was impossible to play the ball at all. If it's Nowitzki, Yiyang's pass is very likely to get an assist. After all, the efficiency of the German post-up singles is quite amazing.

But even if Ma Xinmi and Yiyang pass the ball into his hands, it doesn't make much sense. As a blue-collar center, Mahinmi's rough offensive skills make him no threat at all when facing Randolph with his back.

Helpless, Yiyang had no choice but to raise his hand and called a pick-and-roll.

Mahinmi, who is strong and moving very fast, quickly lifted up, and Yiyang activated just right, making Mike Conley abruptly stopped by the pick-and-roll.

Randolph immediately switched defenses and moved sideways to block Yiyang. However, Yiyang quickly changed direction in the narrow space after passing the pick-and-roll, passing Randolph again and again!

Both Conley and Randolph were broken by Yiyang. Marc Gasol immediately left behind the Frenchman who was traded to the Mavericks with Yiyang, and made up for the basket!

But Marc Gasol's slow pace made it impossible for him to catch up with Yiyang's breakthrough rhythm. Yiyang took off and was just about to shoot the basketball. Gasol leapt forward and lunged forward.

As a result, Gasol, who was too slow, couldn't fly the basketball, but hit Yiyang's forearm with his palm. After being violated, Yiyang made a layup just in time. The basketball wiped the backboard from the side and bounced back to the net.

"Hit a three-pointer! Yi's breakthrough is very deadly. As soon as he came up, he got a chance to hit a three-pointer!" Without the support of strong teammates,

Kenny Smith did not expect that Yiyang could solve the problem by himself.

He originally thought that Yiyang, who was a little thin and his shooting was not stable enough, was a guard like Rubio who could only pass the ball. But this wonderful breakthrough made Kenny Smith realize his mistake! Not only can Yiyang help his teammates score, but his own scoring ability is not bad at all.

Yiyang didn't become agitated when the referee blew the whistle, the kid just stood silently on the free throw line, waiting for the referee to pass the ball.

Yiyang made the extra penalty shot steadily. As soon as the second quarter started, the Grizzlies were taught by a rookie.

Among them, the one who was most annoyed was not Marc Gasol, but Mike Conley, who was once again humiliated!

Anyway, according to the original plan, he is the offensive strength of this quarter! Although Kidd has now become Yiyang, Conley still decides that everything will go according to the original plan.

Therefore, facing Yiyang, Conley did not choose to pass the ball, but also called a pick-and-roll, preparing to use the same method he used against Kidd to return Yiyang.

Randolph's pick-and-roll is very good, and the former "bad fat man" quietly moved his position during the pick-and-roll.

Yiyang really wanted to shout about illegal cover, but he knew that the referee would not change the sentence if he didn't find out. So, he simply ate the dumb loss.

Seeing that Kangli had already passed by him, Yiyang tried his best to get rid of it and rushed towards Kangli.

After Conley successfully broke through, he smiled triumphantly. You are not the only one who can play pick and roll!

The No. 11 of the Grizzlies intends to repeat the same trick, instead of fighting with the Frenchman Petrolo under the basket, he suddenly stopped and shot a jumper with one step inside the free throw line! Conley believes that he can continue the fiery touch of the previous game.

From the looks of it, everything seems to be in place. Yiyang was blocked behind him, and Petrolo couldn't guard against him.

Just when he was about to release the ball, Conley felt that the basketball seemed to be pushed away from behind by someone.

In the next second, this force suddenly increased, and the basketball was blown away from Conley's hands! French center Petrol raised his hand reflexively and received the basketball. The Grizzlies' offense was completely over!

"What!?" Kangli looked around him suspiciously, and found that Yiyang had just landed. Could it be that this guy blocked his shot from behind? You know, he was still entangled with Randolph just now! How did this guy come up so fast! ?

Conley may not know how fast Yiyang is. Most importantly, the paranoia of the No. 1 Dallas has greatly exceeded Conley's expectations!

He wants to guard Conley, and this guy will stop at nothing. When Yiyang pounces on his "prey" like a wild animal, few people can escape.

Petrolo, who received the basketball, was stunned for a moment, until Yiyang yelled at him, finally came back to his senses, and handed the ball to Yiyang.

While advancing slowly, Yiyang directed his teammates to attack with gestures. Even though everyone on the court is more qualified than Yiyang, the Mavericks players are still willing to listen to him.

When Yiyang led the team's second team to play on the field, Kidd, who was sitting off the field, found that he seemed to see a... the shadow of a leader!

Somewhat exasperated, Conley wanted to end the defense early, and then immediately responded offensively. Therefore, he used a close-fitting method to force Yiyang, hoping that this rookie would make a mistake.

Yiyang was indeed a little embarrassed by Kangli's sudden close pressing, but the basketball seemed to be a part of Yiyang's body, moving back and forth flexibly in his hands.

Just when Conley was "going mad" and wanted to steal the basketball, Yiyang suddenly passed the ball and let Marion take control of the ball.

After Yiyang passed the ball, he didn't stay where he was, but started running immediately. Seeing this situation, Conley hurried to follow up, but immediately encountered Petrol's off-ball screen, and the follow-up defense was delayed!

All of these are tactics that Carlisle had arranged long ago. Yiyang just led everyone to execute the tactics well.

Yiyang passed through the crowd from the middle, and when he reached the basket, he suddenly turned left and ran towards the bottom corner.

After being delayed, Conley followed Yiyang's running route. In order to prevent Yiyang from having any room to shoot, Conley continued to speed up while chasing and defending!

As soon as Yiyang ran to the bottom corner, Sean Marion delivered the ball just in time! The perfect cooperation between the two makes people always mistakenly think that they have cooperated for several years. That's the benefit of playing with veterans, because these guys on the Mavericks rarely make mistakes. As long as Yiyang runs out of opportunities, he is not afraid of missing the ball.

Yiyang received the basketball, stood on both feet, and raised his hand to shoot! Conley, who was running with all his strength, leapt and flew high, looking like he was going to give Yiyang a volleyball cap!

Then, Yiyang's shooting action was fake. After seeing Conley being picked up, Yiyang immediately dribbled the ball and easily passed by the jumping Conley. Marc Gasol immediately defended the basket, and Yiyang was not frightened by this European mobile fortress, but threw a shot suddenly by surprise. The basketball flew high and then fell rapidly.

Gasol stretched out his long arm and slapped the basketball back. But the referee's hasty whistle sounded again, this is an interference ball!

"Interference with the ball! There is no problem with this penalty. We can clearly see that Mark completed the block after the basketball fell. If you score two more points, you will already have five points in a row!"

"Stinky boy, you dare to hit anything!!" Kidd, who guided Yiyang's training, knew very well that throwing shots is not Yiyang's strong point. If it wasn't for Gasol's interference ball foul, which counts as two points, it might not be possible to score. But it is precisely because of his bravery that the opposing center will respond. Seeing this, Kidd relaxed and straightened his legs on the bench. Now, the old man himself can rest more...

"Mike! What are you doing!?" Lionel Hollins couldn't restrain his anger when he saw his proud defense being disturbed by Conley. He yelled, but this did not calm the young Conley, but made him more irritable.

Being beaten up like this by a rookie, anyone else would lose face. Conley did not wake up, but forced a breakthrough in the next round.

Yiyang stuck close to Conley, and finally relied on his advantages in height and wingspan to successfully complete the interference. Conley missed a layup, which is his strength.

Yiyang grabbed the defensive rebound by himself, took a look at the frontcourt, and then made a long pass!

Yiyang threw the ball like this, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

"Stinky boy! You are fucking revenge! This is to kill me!" Terry knew that the ball was passed to him by Yiyang, and this guy who was no longer young ran hard just to catch the ball. basketball. Just two steps slower and the basketball will go out of bounds! So the old guy ran wildly while muttering, he didn't want to waste such an unexpected pass.

One step ahead of the baseline, Terry raised his arm just in time to unload the ball! Looking around again, the nearest defender, O.J. Mayo, is still three steps away from him!

Terry didn't hesitate, took the ball and retreated directly, and then made a decisive shot from outside the three-point line! As Yiyang's "big brother", the wonderful pass Terry sent by the younger brother can't be grasped, it is too worthless.

After Terry shot, Mayo just pounced. The basketball seemed to fall earlier, it hit the left side of the basket first. Then it bounced high again, this time, when the basketball fell again, it obediently got into the net!

After Terry scored, he showed three fingers with both hands, and then ran back to his own half with his arms open. The jets are taking off again! This time the Jets were fueled by a guy who played less than two games in the NBA.

Just a few minutes after the start of the second quarter, Lionel Hollins stopped the game again. Yiyang, who led the second team of the Mavericks, played an 8-0 offensive climax in front of the tightly defended Grizzlies. And this is already the second time Yiyang stopped the game today.

"Tony! You go! You only have one mission, lock up that damn No. 3 pick!" Hollins yelled angrily. He couldn't let the game just die in the hands of a rookie.

The player named Tony raised his hand and made a gesture similar to a salute. "Promise to complete the mission, boss!"
