One Guard

Kenny Smith did not expect that the Mavericks, who were overwhelmed, would end up being the one to end the first quarter with a lead.

Rajon Rondo almost dominated the game before, but at the end of the first quarter, Yiyang's excellent performance eased the momentum of the number 9 of the Green Army.

At this moment, most commentators are not talking about the Celtics Big Three, nor the German Dirk Nowitzki. Everyone's goal is on the duel between Yiyang and Rondo.

The wonderful offense and defense shown by the two in the first quarter of the game made the fans love it. In the first quarter, Yiyang and Rondo almost tied. Now people really want to know who the final winner will be.

Sitting on the bench, Yiyang was sweating profusely. After all, in the first quarter, Yiyang was the one who played the longest time on the Mavericks team except Nowitzki.

Although a little out of breath, Yiyang's expression was still murderous. Carlisle first let the players rest for a while, and after a few minutes, he began to pick up the tactical board to arrange tactics.

"At the start of the second quarter, also, you continue to play." Rick Carlisle's decision was completely within everyone's expectations. Maybe the audience in the stands and the commentator on the commentary stand didn't know what happened to Kidd, but the Mavericks players knew very well that Kidd, who had a recurring leg injury, couldn't play for too long today.

Yiyang nodded silently and continued to fight Rondo, which was exactly what he wanted.

Seeing that Yiyang has no major problems, Carlisle continued. "Second quarter, don't play against him. Defense, I hope you can completely contain him on the defensive end. You did a good job in the second half of the first quarter. As long as Rondo is not playing well on the offensive end, to Defensively, he's going to suffer as well."

"I see, Coach."

After explaining to Yiyang, Carlisle continued to explain to others what they need to pay attention to. This coach who has coached NBA games for nearly ten years knows that for a guy like Yiyang, there are some things that you only need to tell him once, and he will know how to do it.

Defense, defense... Yiyang kept repeating this word in his mind. While Yiyang was still imitating the scene of defending Rondo in his mind, the electronic buzzer sounded in the American Airlines Center arena. The intermission is over, and the second quarter of the game between the Mavericks and the Celtics officially begins!

After Yiyang came on the field, he immediately cast his scorching eyes on the opponent's half. But to Yiyang's surprise, Rondo didn't step on the court, but sat on the bench wearing training clothes!

Instead, it was the most topical dunk king of the year, "Little Potato" Nate Robinson who was only 1.75 meters tall!

Yiyang looked back at Carlisle, and Carlisle was obviously a little surprised.

"Play according to the original plan!" Carlisle waved his hand, and Yiyang stepped into the court with peace of mind. Then, let's start the contest from defense!

Nate Robinson, who is about the same height as an ordinary person, is a magical little man who can fly over a center like Howard to complete a dunk and win the slam dunk contest. Of course, Chinese fans are no strangers to this guy. Back then, it was he who was 1.75 meters tall and blocked the head of Yao Ming, who was 2.29 meters tall. These images are undoubtedly the wonderful moments that Nate Robinson left for the world.

Although in terms of jumping and physical fitness, Nate Robinson is indeed top-notch. But in basketball games, the winner is not determined by the height of the jump.

The little guard's performance is extremely inconsistent, and sometimes, he can become a superstar to save the team. But sometimes, Nate Robinson is also very likely to be useless on the court. This is also the reason why Nate moved to multiple teams, not because of his ability, but because of his stability, making every time the coach uses him like a gamble!

Now, when Nate, who is only 1.75 meters tall, holds the ball and walks in front of Yiyang,

Nate Robinson's vision was severely blocked by Yiyang's open arms and excellent height.

Of course, this is not the first time Nate has encountered this situation. This guy called a pick-and-roll, intending to use his speed to break through by himself! Because it seems that even if the skinny Yiyang can keep up with him, Nate is sure to force a successful layup.

The huge Glenn Davis immediately raised the question, Yiyang seemed to have to spend a lot of effort to get around this fat man. However, Nate was just getting started, and Yiyang immediately went around the pick-and-roll. He had already made preparations and predictions, and was just waiting for Nate Robinson to speed up!

Almost instantly, Yiyang reposted to "Little Tudou". But the strong Nate Robinson didn't slow down, he put his shoulders on his chest and continued to break through!

I have to admit that Nate Robinson, who is only 1.75 meters tall, surprised Yiyang in terms of strength. This guy is all about a small tank, fast and solid.

Nate walked all the way to the basket, and then put Yiyang on the elbow and made some small movements to push Yiyang away.

Yiyang was pushed back a step, but quickly tried to stick up again. At the same time, Nate Robinson jumped high, ready to seize this fleeting opportunity for a layup!

"This kid is nothing more than that!" Nate Robinson was secretly happy in his heart. When he was off the court in the first quarter, he saw that Rondo used a breakthrough to beat Yiyang very easily.

"Crack!" However, the crisp sound caused the entire American Airlines Center arena to explode. Yiyang's palm landed firmly on the basketball in Nate Robinson's hand. The basketball flew out of the three-point line and was picked up by Sean Marion. Yiyang, he made a beautiful block on Nate!

"Nate is really at a disadvantage in terms of height, but he also reacted very quickly. The ball was not fouled, it was a good risk!" While speaking, Marion had already held the ball and started to move forward. Celtics backup forward Marquez Daniels couldn't keep up with Marion. Marion dribbled alone to the opponent's basket for a one-handed dunk. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics took a bad blow!

"We don't know when Coach Rivers is going to bring the Big Three and Rondo up, but what I know is that with the second team, the Celtics simply don't have any chance to close the score."

Of course Rivers also wants to make substitutions, but Rondo has just played a whole quarter and he needs adequate rest. As for the Big Three... If these three old guys can be three or four years younger, Rivers is absolutely willing to let them play now. Unfortunately, it is already the last month of 2010. The Big Three couldn't run on the court for the entire game.

After the breakthrough suffered a loss, Nate Robinson planned to look for opportunities on the outside again. After all, this guy still has some shooting ability. Before transferring to the Celtics in the 09-10 season, Nate's average shooting percentage was even as high as 45%.

Robinson directed his teammates to move, and he himself was constantly looking for opportunities. But Yiyang, who has already ingrained the word defense into his mind, is like a lion that has found its prey, chasing Nate relentlessly.

After running several tactics, Nate Robinson still didn't get any good opportunities. The 24-second attack time passed in the extremely uneven operation of the Celtics. In the end, "Little Potato", who received the ball outside the three-point line in the left corner, had to fire forcibly!

Yiyang cornered Nate, then leaped high, stretching his long arms. Nate, who forcibly raised the arc of the basketball, naturally failed to make the ball.

The rim slammed and Nate Robinson missed his second straight shot.

Maybe this 1.75-meter guy once staged a crazy performance of scoring 22 points in a single quarter, but today is not Nate's day.

"Boxing King" Tyson didn't hesitate after protecting the rebound, and directly threw it to Yiyang who was about to start running wildly.

Not to be outdone, Nate Robinson followed closely behind Yiyang. Among the Celtics players left on the court, only Nate can keep up with Yiyang's speed.

This guard who once played Yao Ming would not mind blocking another Chinese shot.

Yiyang quickly stepped into the three-second zone, he glanced back, and then jumped straight to the basket!

Nate Robinson's two calves were like two powerful springs, the muscles stretched and stretched, sending his whole body into the air.

The two guards fought in the air, and Nate Robinson took a hard shot. His finger touched the basketball, but the palm of his hand hit Yiyang's forearm firmly.

Because of being violated, Yiyang's layup was completely distorted. But he still tried his best to maintain his balance, trying to hold the ball and send it towards the basket.

In the end, Yiyang, who had completely lost his center of gravity, smashed to the ground abruptly from a high altitude. At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded, and the basketball shot by Yiyang rebounded into the basket after slightly skimming the backboard!

"Beautiful fast break! Hit a three-pointer! I also got a chance to hit a three-pointer! God, even if Nate fouls, he can't stop Yiyang from scoring!" Kenny Smith jumped up, and just now Yiyang, who was still falling heavily to the ground, stood up abruptly, and then stepped unhurriedly to the free throw line.

Yiyang's free throws are still stable, and he didn't waste this opportunity in vain. After the free throw, Yiyang turned his head and looked at Rajon Rondo on the Celtics bench.

Yiyang's fiery eyes seemed to be speaking to Rondo. "Hurry up and play, or you will lose!"

9 points, just a few minutes after the start of the second quarter, Yiyang led the team to a 9-point lead.

Doug Rivers couldn't sit still at this time, he had to regain control of the game before the No. 1 guard completely went crazy!

"Rajon!" Rivers yelled in his drake voice, and Rondo immediately took off his training clothes.

Yiyang, I have to bury it myself!
