One Guard
Chapter 771: Destroy the tough guy
It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [Aidou Reading] The fastest update! No ads!
Ever since James was brought down by Gobert, the game has taken a turn. James' offensive efficiency began to plummet, and his physical fitness could no longer support him to continue scoring goals on the court.
At this time, Owen wanted to stand up. But Irving's scoring was intermittent and could not substantially change the Cavaliers' disadvantage. After all, there is no defender in this league who can hit Yiyang's offensive climax on his own.
David Blatt fell into deep despair. The Cleveland Cavaliers have run out of ammunition and food in this war!
In the 9th minute of the fourth quarter, Iguodala could clearly feel that James' breakthrough and confrontation were not as strong as before. When he forced to take off for a layup, he could no longer stabilize his center of gravity and shot. The moment the basketball was released, James' movements were somewhat deformed due to fatigue, which directly caused the basketball to hit the ball continuously!
"James has not scored for two minutes. Even with his inhuman physical fitness, he has reached his limit."
"If it weren't for Irving still scoring, the Cavaliers might not have to continue playing now."
ESPN's commentators have foreseen the outcome, but they don't want to make this cruel ending public so early.
In the American Airlines Center Arena, the cheers of the fans became louder and louder. In the last minute of the game, Yiyang felt that he was a little overwhelmed. However, LeBron still stands on the court.
Yiyang was instantly in awe of James. This is the attitude a man should have when facing a battle. But unfortunately, Yiyang's mission is to completely defeat James! He had to destroy this tough guy himself.
In 1 minute, the Mavericks held an eight-point advantage. Yiyang was not in a hurry. He paused outside the three-point line and organized the team's offense. Irving performed well in the fourth quarter. A big reason for this was because Yiyang's physical fitness was almost at the bottom and it was difficult to keep up with Irving's speed.
So this time on defense, Irving is full of confidence. As long as Yiyang is not allowed to widen the point difference to double digits, the Cavaliers will still have a glimmer of hope.
Yiyang observed the Cavaliers' defensive position. Everyone was spread out, except for Mozgov, who was near the penalty area. There's no way, after all, Gobert doesn't have the ability to open up space yet.
Yiyang waved and asked Gobert to come out to cover. From this point of view, it is impossible for Mozgov to continue to guard the basket if he does not want to be whistled for three seconds of defense.
Irving looked at both sides of himself. He didn't know yet which side Gobert's screen would appear on. But before Gobert was in position for the pick-and-roll, Yiyang suddenly changed from stillness to movement, accelerating without warning!
"Cunning guy!" When Owen reacted, Yiyang had already surpassed him by half a body. Yiyang had no intention of setting up a pick-and-roll from the beginning, it was all just to deceive others!
Yiyang broke into the penalty area smoothly, and Mozgov had no time to chase back. It seemed that scoring a goal this time was a sure thing.
The moment Yiyang took off for a layup, James rushed in with a diagonal stab! Yiyang was shocked. He didn't expect that guy to have the strength to run so fast!
The almost overstretched physical condition made Yiyang's waist and abdomen weak, and he could no longer make exaggerated folding layups.
Just like that, Yiyang and James collided hard and fell backwards. But with his body almost parallel to the ground, Yiyang still did not forget to throw the ball towards the basket.
The basketball miraculously scraped the backboard and crashed into the net! Yiyang fell to the ground, and at the same time, the entire American Airlines Center fans raised their arms and cheered loudly!
"This can't be stopped!? He scored a goal at an angle parallel to the ground. No, no, no, this must not be true!" Mike Breen looked up and looked at the replay on the big screen at the scene. His body was completely lost. In less than a second when his center of gravity dropped, he shot and hit the ball. Yiyang's goal seemed to be just a matter of good dribbling. But in fact, on the basketball court, luck also requires strong support.
If it were anyone else, let alone scoring goals, they would have no chance of taking action in that situation. But Yiyang did it, so he also caught his "luck".
The moment the ball scored, James felt that his originally strong heart "knocked" and was completely shattered. With a 10-point difference and 1 minute left, Yiyang still had to make a free throw.
At this time, this feeling of powerlessness quickly jumped from the soles of his feet into his brain, making James suddenly feel extremely tired.
Yiyang's blow completely defeated this tough guy.
"Yeah, he completely ended the whole game." Seeing Yiyang hit the extra free throw, Mike Breen let out a sigh of relief. This round of the finals was really brutal. Both sides are using the most brutal methods to fight for victory. James and Yiyang both fought hard until they were exhausted.
Both men are great, but in this cruel competition, only one can become the winner.
In the end, James didn't score again. Irving's breakthrough layup could no longer change the situation of the game. 110 to 101, when the electronic buzzer sounded that represented the end of the game, the score difference was permanently fixed at nine points.
The moment the game ended, Yiyang leaned on the cushions of the basketball stand, gasping for air. The fans all stood up, and MVP shouts resounded throughout the stadium.
And what about LeBron James, who scored 44 points and played 45 minutes in the game? He could only hang his head silently in the carnival of others, accept the pain caused by the defeat, and leave sadly.
"It's finally over. This was a real hand-to-hand battle. Both LeBron and I gave it our all!"
"It's so cruel. LeBron is definitely qualified to be the winner. But a basketball game is a basketball game, and the score determines the outcome."
At the same time, Yiyang's eyes kept staring at the back of No. 23 until he disappeared deep into the tunnel. This game has gone like this, even he is exhausted, but he can actually persevere! That monster should really be sent to be sliced and studied!
"How do you feel?" Wade walked up to Yiyang and put Yiyang's hand on his neck. He knows that the No. 1 defender needs some support now.
Forcing Irving to death, confronting Dellavedova, and competing with James all the time. Yiyang played 43 minutes today, and actually only had two more minutes of rest than James. This game is not easy for Yiyang either.
"I just want to have a good sleep now, Dwayne." Yiyang smiled and collapsed on Wade. The two of them put their hands on each other's shoulders and walked slowly towards the bench.
After the game, the technical statistics of the two teams surprised Mike Breen.
For the Mavericks, a total of five players scored in double figures, including Yiyang and Wade who both scored 20. Yiyang dominated the game with 29 points and 15 assists. Wade's 25 points turned J.R. Smith's arrogance into a joke. Although Nowitzki didn't play much playing time, he still scored 13 points, while Iguodala and Tony Allen scored 15 points each. But their biggest contribution is to limit LeBron James.
Without Iguodala and Tony Allen, James' score today might not be just "44".
Today, the Mavericks still played quite well overall on the offensive end. Yiyang's 15 assists made the Mavericks' offensive efficiency very gratifying.
As for the Cavaliers, apart from Irving's 23 points, only James' 44 points reached double figures. Everyone else's scoring was pitiful. Paul, who provoked Wade's J.R. before the game, only scored 9 points. Compared with his average of 18 points per game in the Eastern Conference finals, Smith's performance was obviously unqualified.
This situation caused James to score 44 points in 45 minutes, and he had to take 38 crazy shots for this!
Mike Breen shuddered. Even without such a fierce confrontation, 38 shots in a single game was enough to tire someone out. What's more, the confrontation James encountered was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Most players can't even create 10 shots, let alone more than 30 shots. And James used his body to take 38 shots.
However, 38 shots were taken, which is precisely one of the reasons why James' shooting percentage dropped off a cliff at the last moment. It is very difficult to continue to hit shots when you are physically exhausted.
In other words, letting James take 38 shots and exhaust himself to death is what Carlisle and Yiyang are committed to doing. They just want to force James to consume. They believe that one person will never be able to defeat an entire team. From the beginning, they had no intention of winning the easy way!
To win the O'Brien Cup, both sides have to pay a price. This bloody game will be a preliminary portrayal of the entire series.
At the post-match press conference, Yiyang praised his teammates for their active defense. At the same time, it was also claimed that the Mavericks will continue to maintain this state.
As for James, although he lost the ball, he was still very determined.
"In the next game, how should you solve the problem of the Cavaliers not having enough offensive points?" The reporter's question made James a little embarrassed, because this question should be thrown to Blatt, the coach, not James.
After all, the little emperor did almost everything he should do today, except leading his team to a victory. He played a total of 45 minutes, took 38 shots, and scored 44 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists. How else can James solve it? Does he have to score 50+ points in every game?
"I don't know how you want me to solve the problem? I took more than 36 shots in one game... If you force me to answer, I can only say, maybe in the next game, I will take 50 shots. .”
The reporters burst into laughter, but James on the stage looked serious. This guy is not in the mood to joke now.
Every word he says now may become reality in the next game!
