One Guard
Chapter 827: We are back
Dwayne Dedmon, this 2.13 meter tall center performed well with the Spurs last season. When he comes to the Hawks this season, the management also has high hopes for him.
But in the scrimmage stage, Dedmon was defeated without any suspense. Gobert's height, wingspan and jumping are better than Dedmon in every aspect. Yiyang received the basketball. He did not make a sudden attack, but moved forward leisurely. He didn't even run, he just walked!
"Tsk tsk, the boss is so handsome. Look at his relaxed posture, he doesn't take Schroeder seriously at all." On the bench, Mitchell cast an admiring look at Yiyang.
During the years when Yiyang dominated the league, his influence on young players was still very large. Many young people like Mitchell practice based on Yiyang's game videos.
Mudiay also felt admiration from the bottom of his heart. He was also a point guard, but Yiyang and him were completely different.
After slowly crossing the midfield line, Yiyang did not move forward, but began to look at the entire half. Schroeder opened his arms and stood two steps away from Yiyang. He did not dare to get too close. Even though Yiyang is 27 years old, his speed has not slowed down at all. Schroeder didn't want to be passed by in one step, so he kept some distance.
However, Yiyang neither shot nor broke through. After a few dribbles, Yiyang casually knocked the ball to the ground and passed the ball!
Yiyang's passing movement looks very casual, but his accuracy is very scary. The basketball went straight to the right wing of the court. When the pass was passed, there were no Mavericks players in that position. But when the ball was passed, Hayward just came out and stood there, caught the basketball, and shot directly! The timing of passing and catching the ball is exactly the same!
"Incredible tacit understanding. This is the first time the two of them have cooperated in a formal game!" Mike Breen clapped his hands. The Mavericks had an extra star, and they were really unambiguous in their play.
Bazemore was delayed by Gobert's off-ball screen and had no time to interfere. Hayward hit an open three-pointer, helping the Mavericks easily take a three-point lead!
The tacit understanding between Yiyang and Hayward does not need to be cultivated.
"Damn it, this is a goal!" Schroeder cursed in his heart. Could it be possible that even the idle Yiyang could fully activate the Mavericks?
Stop looking down on others, you are no longer the MVP!
After that, the Eagles' offensive momentum was completely opposite to that of the Mavericks. The Mavericks are taking a leisurely stroll, while the Hawks are riding high.
Schroeder quickly passed the half court, intending to use a simple and rough impact to break through Yiyang. Yiyang looked relaxed, without even frowning. He just took a simple step and blocked the German defender from outside the three-point line.
Schroeder's too thin body did not allow him to take advantage of the confrontation. Yiyang was also very thin when he first entered the league, but he could use his gorgeous fake moves and speed to wipe out the opponent and end the attack. However, Schroeder does not possess these qualities.
Helpless, the German defender had no choice but to reach out and call for cover. Taking advantage of Ilyasova's pick-and-roll, Schroeder accelerated to prepare for a breakthrough. But Ilyasova is not a pick-and-roll expert. Yiyang easily bypassed the Turkish forward's cover and immediately reached Schroeder.
Schroeder didn't do it alone, he planned to pass the ball. But when he looked back, he saw that his big brother Nowitzki was staring closely at Ilyasova and not giving him a chance to catch the ball.
Just when Schroeder was stunned, Yiyang made a quick move and cleanly swatted the basketball away from the German defender!
Finally, the lazy Yiyang started to speed up! He took off running, and no Eagles player could keep up with him. If this guy doesn't move, it's fine. If he moves, it's like lightning!
Everyone thought Yiyang was going to dunk. However, after entering the penalty area, Yiyang not only did not speed up nor take off, but instead slowed down his pace, as if he was deliberately waiting for the Eagles players to catch up with him.
After most of the Eagles players have shrunk in,
Yiyang, who was staring at the basket, suddenly made a pass from behind.
The basketball was impartial and fell into the hands of Gordon Hayward. The moment he caught the basketball, Hayward couldn't help but giggle. This is the feeling, this is the feeling when they played in the NCAA! Playing on the same team as Yiyang, no matter how long it takes, this comfortable feeling will never change.
By the time the Hawks players reacted, Hayward's shot had already passed through the net. Two consecutive three-pointers made Hayward look like a veteran of the Mavericks, not a new addition.
6-0, the Mavericks encountered little resistance. Their attack was beyond the ability of the Eagles to parry.
In the next round, Dedmon's mid-range shot was ruthlessly slapped away by Gobert. Schroeder picked up the basketball and took advantage of the chaos to rush into the penalty area for a layup. Unexpectedly, Yiyang was not messy at all. He followed closely behind the German, waiting for the opportunity to make a bloody nailboard.
For two consecutive games, the Mavericks used practical actions to silence the Eagles' offense. Deron caught the basketball that bounced back, and he hit the ball very quickly. By the time the on-site photographer reacted and adjusted the lens, Hayward had already entered the penalty area with the ball and scored with a one-handed dunk.
This is the power of dual-core, although Deron can no longer be the protagonist. But Carlisle is still willing to let him start, and it's not without reason.
Hayward easily scored 8 points without even encountering a confrontation. This is the Dallas Mavericks, as long as you stay focused and catch every pass, there are plenty of easy scoring opportunities.
In fact, Yiyang and Delong also fought like this on purpose. They are using Hayward to remind the three eager rookies that as long as your off-ball movements are as active as Hayward's, you won't have to worry about not having scoring opportunities.
8-0, but Eagles coach Budenholzer had no expression on his face. Such a result had actually been expected by him.
The Mavericks were despised by many people when they failed to make it to the Western Conference Finals last season. However, even if they stop in the Western Conference Finals, most teams in this league are no match for the Mavericks. What's more, the Mavericks also completed drastic changes this summer.
Not to mention the Atlanta Hawks, even the defending champion Golden State Warriors may not be able to defeat them!
In the next attack, Tao Lin Prince's three-point long shot was interfered by Deron, and finally hit the ball. Gobert easily grabbed the defensive rebound, but there was no long pass from the backcourt. Yiyang still has the same intention and wants to slowly play against the Eagles. Such an opponent doesn't need to run so tired.
After Yiyang passed halftime, Hayward had already begun to weave in and out of the crowd. Nowitzki pulled to the outside and also attracted the opponent's defensive attention.
Yiyang stared at Hayward, seemingly preparing to pass the ball, but in fact he suddenly slapped the ball to the ground!
"Snapped!"
Schroeder only heard a crisp sound after the basketball hit the wooden floor, and then Yiyang pulled an afterimage and successfully broke through with the wind!
"Perfect rhythm and first-step speed. After so many years, everyone knows what he can do. But even if he knows, he can't stop him!"
Mike Breen smiled slightly. This time, you weren't just trying to score the ball, right?
Breaking through Schroeder and getting inside, the Eagles players all shrank back. But in Yiyang's eyes, their contraction was too slow!
One foot stepped into the three-second zone, Yiyang's calf jumped hard, and his whole body was gliding in the air!
Dedmon got rid of the entanglement with Gobert and came up to defend, but before he could take off, he was crushed by Yiyang who jumped high!
All Dedmon could do was raise his arms and take a step back in disgrace.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise from the basket, and Dedmon knew that he was embarrassed.
"Dunnk from behind, haha, Dedmon's cover defense had no effect at all! Finally, after giving so many good shots to his teammates, he finally took the shot himself! Look at him, is he destroying the Eagles? Defense. Instead, we are challenging the MVP and the O'Brien Trophy!"
Yiyang roared and did a pull-up on the rim before letting go and landing. Mike Brin was right, Yiyang did not mean to insult Dedmon. What this guy vented was his anger after losing the championship!
"Tsk, that's really disrespectful!" Budenholzer stood up and shouted to stop the game. At 10-0, it was time to call a timeout.
After Yiyang came off the field, three young people couldn't wait to rush up and high-five Yiyang. There is no doubt that their fighting spirit was completely blown away by Yiyang's dunk.
"Why be so violent? You can easily get a layup." Sitting on the bench, Hayward couldn't help but shook his head.
"I just want to let the Warriors, Rockets and all those who think they can take away the O'Brien Cup know that we are back!" Yiyang patted Hayward on the shoulder. The game in these few minutes was really good. So hearty.
After the timeout, the Mavericks replaced 4 of the 5 starting players, leaving only one Gobert. Three rookies, Mudiay, Mitchell and Kuzma, played at the same time.
Budenholzer thought he could use these few minutes to even the score and save himself from being so embarrassed.
However, Mitchell cut inside and received a two-handed dunk from Mudiay, breaking Budenholzer's fantasy. That guy Carlisle put himself on the bench early not to give himself face, but to rub salt into his own wounds!
"Donovan Mitchell! Incredible! Maybe even he couldn't have imagined that the first goal in his NBA career would come so hard!"
In the subsequent attack, Kuzma ran and received a pass from Nance Jr. and shot a three-pointer from the bottom corner. Bazemore's height is too short and does not cause much interference to Kuzma at all. Kuzma is 2.06 meters tall. He always played power forward in the NCAA, but Carlisle proved that letting Kuzma play small forward is also a good choice.
Kuzma's three-pointer fell into the net, 15-0. If Budenholzer expected the Mavericks to start so strong just now, then the outstanding performance of these three rookies is somewhat beyond Budenholzer's expectations.
How could these three little villains who were not favored by people be so aggressive when they first started? Especially Mitchell and Kuzma, are they really playing official games for the first time? ? What kind of magic does the Mavericks have? You can even turn waste into treasure!
The Dallas Mavericks left too many questions in Budenholzer's mind. If they can figure out the secret of the Mavericks, maybe the Hawks can rebuild quickly.
But Budenholzer doesn't know that there is only one secret to the Mavericks, and that is Yiyang.
It was he who used his connections to recruit troops, and it was he who personally accompanied these rookies to train hard all summer. Such a team core is something that can only be found but not sought.
The 15-0 score was firmly on the Eagles' head, and Schroeder's eyes were no longer full of murderous intent, but full of despair.
A massacre was inevitable.
