One Guard

Rick Carlisle was struggling on the sidelines. From the beginning of the game to the present, the Mavericks' offense has not been very smooth.

Kidd's physical condition today is really bad to the extreme. Let alone let Kidd score now, every step he runs on the court looks so strenuous.

This is the imprint left by the years on every professional player. Even if Kidd is one of the greatest point guards in NBA history, time will not be easy for him. On this point, God is fair to all.

Kidd moved the ball slowly through the half court, and Rondo didn't seem too worried about Kidd's offense despite being at a huge height disadvantage.

Kidd stood outside the three-point line, waiting for his teammates to settle down one by one. Nowitzki managed to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with "Wolf King" Garnett, so the German wanted to stay and raised his hand for the ball!

Kidd did not hesitate, he did not use a lob, but hit a pass. The basketball passed through the crowd and was delivered to Nowitzki accurately. Don't look at such a pass as nothing special, but it's really not easy to be "quick, accurate and ruthless" like Kidd did.

The tough KG certainly won't let Nowitzki succeed in this. He keeps putting pressure on the Germans, and his little tricks never stop. In short, no matter how uncomfortable Nowitzki is, Garnett will come.

Nowitzki tried to take two steps back, but under KG's strong will, the German didn't advance even a centimeter!

Attacking time was limited, and after a few unsuccessful attempts, the German started looking for someone, intending to pass the ball.

As soon as he looked up, Nowitzki saw Kidd who had gone beyond the three-point line through a subtle move. The German didn't hesitate, he raised his long arm and threw the ball outside. At this time, people realized that Kidd had sneaked out of a gap!

Kidd's three-point shooting has always been one of the shortcomings that have been criticized, but in fact, in the past few years in Dallas, Kidd's three-point shooting percentage has been getting higher and higher. Last season, Kidd's three-point shooting percentage even became the second-highest 42% of his career. Therefore, Kidd is absolutely threatening from beyond the three-point line, and the threat is no less than anyone else.

Rondo was not in a hurry to rush forward. Instead, he was preparing to grab rebounds in the middle distance or receive a pass from his teammates to counterattack at any time.

"The Celtics directly emptied Jason. Jason didn't hesitate, and shot a three-pointer! Oh, the shot hits the iron, this is the fifth consecutive time Jason missed a shot today! It seems that Jason's state today seems to be Something went wrong." Kenny Smith sighed, and Kidd shook his hand angrily. This veteran, he can't bear to look down on his offensive efficiency.

KG gets stuck and pockets the defensive basket. After that, he immediately gave the ball to Rondo who was waiting in the middle distance. Rondo catches the ball and starts to speed up immediately. This guard with extremely abnormal physical fitness directly overtakes the old Kidd.

"Time-out, time-out!" Seeing Rondo leaning on Kidd for a layup effortlessly, Rick Carlisle hurriedly stopped the game.

Kidd, who was angry with himself, took off the wristband from his hand and threw it to the ground hard. This was the first time Yiyang saw Kidd lose his temper on the court, so one can imagine how aggrieved Kidd played in the past few minutes.

Six minutes into the first quarter, Kidd had five chances but failed to score a point. His sore calf made Rondo shine on the court, making this historical point guard unable to lift his head.

But there is no way, the stadium is so cruel. Rondo will not show mercy to Kidd because of his rich experience. On the contrary, guys like Rondo prefer to defeat powerful enemies to enhance their status and value.

Carlisle looked at the big screen in the center of the American airlines, the game is now,

The Mavericks have fallen behind by 6 points. If the offense fails a few more times, the point difference may be widened to double digits.

Carlisle couldn't help it, he had to make some changes. Yiyang, now is the time when I have to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

"Jason, take a break off the court first. Yi, get ready to play!" Carlisle didn't hesitate, and the first arrangement was to replace Kidd with Yiyang.

Kidd has no complaints. As a veteran, he knows very well that his playing time will definitely not be stable. What's more, today's physical condition is really bad. Being on the court for a long time will only drag the team back.

Kidd grabbed Yiyang and put his head next to Yiyang's ear. "Be careful with that guy, his physical fitness may be better than yours! Don't take it lightly, your previous opponents are nothing compared to him!"

Yiyang nodded slightly, and wrote down Kidd's instructions. Sometimes, playing next to a historic veteran, Yiyang feels that he is really lucky.

Before going on stage, Kidd patted Yiyang on the shoulder. Next, it's up to you, kid.

"Oh? On the Celtics side, Coach Rivers replaced O'Neal with Glenn Davis. And the Mavericks even changed three people in one fell swoop! Except Dirk and Tyson, the two inside partners In addition, all other positions have been replaced. Jason is also replaced, Jeter is replaced by Barea, and Deshaun Stevens is replaced by Marion. Today is also the first time that veteran Deshaun has played this season. Watch Come on, Coach Carlisle wants to change the situation through substitutions."

Although there were three substitutions, the fans knew that Yiyang was the one who would play the most important role in this substitution. Therefore, when Yiyang took the baseline ball and began to advance towards the opponent's half, the Mavericks fans did not hesitate to cheer and applaud. Everyone is encouraging the No. 1 rookie, hoping that he can make up for the gap left by the old Kidd's poor state.

Rajon Rondo, the Celtics starting point guard has been in the limelight in recent years. This eccentric No. 9 is transforming from a "big glue" into a real giant.

As Kidd said, Rondo's physical indicators are quite good. When he stretched his arms across in front of Yiyang, Yiyang actually felt that what he was facing was not a point guard who was shorter than himself, but an insurmountable wide wall!

Rondo did not neglect Yiyang because he was a rookie, as a player who has experienced the baptism of the finals. He knew that if he wanted to win, he had to keep his full attention at all times. Even if you are facing a rookie, there is no exception.

Yiyang stopped one step beyond the three-point line. Not only Rondo, but the entire Celtics' defense was excellent. He saw Deshaun Stevens running back and forth, and also saw Terry shuttling through the crowd. But Yiyang didn't pass the ball, because the Celtics blocked everyone's passing lanes very well! Playing the ball rashly will only increase the risk of mistakes.

Yiyang knew that passing the ball alone would not achieve his goal. He has to move and tear the Celtics' defense before he can give his teammates a chance.

So, Yiyang took the ball and took two steps back. Then, start to alternate dribbles between the crotch and hands, and the frequency is getting faster and faster. Yellow lightning, ready to break through!

Yiyang straightened up suddenly and put the ball in his right hand, as if planning to break through from the right. However, in the next second, Yiyang quickly slapped the ball to the left, and then kicked his legs suddenly, and his whole body suddenly stabbed to the left.

If it were any other ordinary defender, Yiyang's sudden change of direction would be enough for him to pass the opponent in one step. But Rajon Rondo is not in the category of "ordinary guard".

The No. 1 position with excellent physical fitness quickly moved sideways, and his sideways speed made Yiyang gasp.

Coupled with Rondo's terrifying long arms, Yiyang's sudden acceleration made him stopped in a daze!

But Yiyang didn't give up. Although he was blocked, Yiyang leaned on Rondo's cylinder and turned to the right again. With this turn, Yiyang put Rondo firmly behind him with his back.

With two consecutive moves, Yiyang struggled to get rid of Rondo. He immediately sped up, and Nowitzki pulled to the middle distance. Only "big baby" Glenn Davis was waiting for him at the basket.

Green Davis did not stick to the basket, but rushed out, hoping to attack Rondo back and forth, forcing Yiyang to make a shot or make a mistake.

After Yiyang died, the sense of oppression from Rondo was getting bigger and bigger. The number 9 in the green jersey was really fast, he stuck to Yiyang again almost instantly.

Under pressure, it is impossible for Yiyang to make an emergency stop for a jump shot, and it is also impossible for him to change direction. If he does this, Rondo will definitely intercept the ball! Don't forget, his long arms are always on standby.

Seeing Glynn Davis jumping out, Yiyang had only one choice. He jumped up suddenly and threw the ball high into the air.

"Big Baby" Davis also jumped up, hoping to catch the basketball. But Davis, who is already out of shape, can't reach the ball at all.

The basketball passed Davis and flew over Chandler, who was ambushing under the basket. The "boxing champion" is not Davis, Davis can't jump, but the boxing champion can jump!

Tyson Chandler jumped high in place, just in time to catch the falling basketball. Then, Chandler slammed his right hand and took off on the spot to complete the alley-oop cooperation.

After the dunk, the entire American Airlines Center Arena exploded. After being aggrieved for so long, the Mavericks finally felt proud!

Chandler pointed to Yiyang to express his gratitude, and the fans applauded Yiyang even more. Ke Yiyang frowned on his own face.

Just completing one assist, Rondo gave him such a great sense of oppression. It was hard for him to imagine what it would be like to play a whole game with such a difficult guy.

Yiyang shook his head and had no time to think. That scary No. 9 of the Green Army has already killed with the ball...
