One Guard

So far in the season, the 76ers with a record of only 2 wins and 6 losses, and the Mavericks with 6 wins and 1 loss, it seems that they are not at the same level.

The goal of the Mavericks is the championship, while the goal of the 76ers is reconstruction.

However, NBA games have never lacked highlights. Even on paper, the gap between the two sides seems huge. But through the hype of the media, the 76ers' away game against the Mavericks today was very popular.

All of this stems from the controversial rookie rankings. A No. 1 show from China actually overwhelmed Griffin, the No. 1 pick last year, and John Wall, the No. 1 pick this year, to take the No. 1 spot. Under the hype of the media, Yiyang's tepid performance in two consecutive games has already caused him to be questioned.

So today, when Evan Turner of the 76ers met Yiyang of the Mavericks. Every reporter is ready to witness the defeat of the Chinese defender.

"I will do my best in this game, and I will prove that I am no worse than the No. 1 player." Before the game started, many reporters found Turner, who had already started for the 76ers. This legendary figure in the NCAA era made his first start against the Thunder in the last game, and scored 15 points on 46% shooting, plus 8 rebounds and 2 assists. So now, when he answers the reporter's question, he also appears to be full of confidence.

Turner's performance in the last game was not bad. Therefore, people are full of expectations for his second starting game today. Maybe under the stimulation of Yiyang's incident, Turner can play the same all-round performance as he did in college?

In addition to Turner, the Li Ning team behind him is also ready to see Adidas' jokes. At the beginning, Li Ning offered Yiyang an expensive contract, hoping that he and Turner could form the "Twin Stars" under Li Ning's banner.

But in the end, Yiyang accepted Adidas's bigger contract than everyone else. In Li Ning's heart, a flower show is really not worth so much money, the Chinese market? Yao Ming endorsed Reebok, but Reebok did not see any breakthrough in the Chinese market.

Everyone wanted to wait to see Yiyang make a fool of himself, and everyone was unconvinced by his No. 1 ranking, but Yiyang himself didn't seem to hear the voice of the outside world at all. When he came out and started to warm up, the on-site photographer noticed that the expression on this guy's face was so calm that it couldn't be calmer.

If it were any other rookie, Carlisle would definitely say "don't be influenced by the outside world" to him now. But Yiyang, Carlisle thinks there is absolutely no need for this. This No. 3 pick, who already occupies an important position in Carlisle's heart, knows how to face the game. At some point, Carlisle even felt that Yi** didn't look like a rookie at all.

Look at his calm and composed appearance in the face of criticism from the outside world, he looks like an old fritter who has been in the league for more than ten years. What Carlisle doesn't know is that Yiyang grew up in an environment where people looked down upon him. Therefore, the rhetoric of the media is completely indifferent to Yiyang. After all, Yiyang has experienced humiliation hundreds of times worse than these in the Woodland District and in the high school basketball arena.

Warm up, set up before the game, sit back on the bench and wait to play. After the series of pre-match preparations were over, the game, which had been hyped by the media for a long time, finally officially started. One of the protagonists has already stood on the court as the team's starter. But the other protagonist, Yiyang, was sitting on the bench, his mind as calm as water.

Turner, who started the game, looked proudly at Yiyang on the bench, but Yiyang ignored him. If it weren't for Turner's switch to the second position, it would be impossible for him to get the starting position when the team has Iguodala. Besides, Yiyang had defeated this guy in the NCAA!

After the game started, the situation was completely different from what everyone imagined. The more powerful Mavericks did not establish an advantage,

The 76ers, who only achieved a record of 2 wins and 6 losses, played very bravely.

Spencer Hawes, the 76ers' shooting at the fifth position in this space made it very uncomfortable for the "boxing champion" Tyson who was used to protecting the basket.

At the beginning of the game, Hawes made two consecutive mid-range and long-range shots. Chandler, who is always used to putting opponents a few steps away from the high position, did not expect Hawes to be so accurate today.

The 76ers have a big man who is good at shooting, and the German on the Mavericks side is the elite of the elite.

But today, Dirk's hand style does not seem to be very convenient. Unlike Hawes's two consecutive hits, Nowitzki's first two shots ended in iron strikes.

Fortunately, Sean Marion stood up when Nowitzki was unable to score. His consecutive mid-range shots made the score stalemate between the two sides.

The game went on like this for a few minutes. Although the Mavericks didn't suffer any losses, they were inextricably tied to the 76ers. This was not the result Carlisle wanted to see.

Today, in order to strengthen the defense and limit Turner, Carlisle deliberately let Deshaun Stevens replace Jose Barea as the starting second position. Although Stevens' defense is indeed better, but his less brilliant offense has become a burden on the Mavericks' firepower.

So, after playing 6 minutes in the first quarter. Coach Carlisle took the lead in making substitutions, and the pair of "bench bandits" Yiyang and Terry went into battle!

When he saw Yiyang play, Turner suddenly became energetic and his eyes lit up. This No. 2 player knows that the time to prove himself has arrived!

"Hand the ball to Sean more, let him shoot more if he feels good. If you can't open up the situation, I want you to use breakthroughs to cause damage!" When Yiyang started to control the ball and move forward, Carlisle gave himself What he said once again surfaced in the mind of the No. 1 defender.

At the same time, Sean Marion, who is feeling hot today, has already started to actively move. But how can Iguodala's marking be thrown off so easily.

Marion ran several tactics around the half court, but Iguodala, who had been scored three goals in a row by Marion, was still inseparable! It seems that Marion's consecutive goals really angered the little AI who loves to "play dead".

Yiyang waited on the outside line for a long time, but Marion didn't come out with tactics for a long time. Helpless, Yiyang beckoned and called Nowitzki's pick-and-roll, he wanted to break through by himself!

The 76ers' second-year rookie Zhu Holiday knew that Yiyang wanted to break through, so he also made preparations in advance to bypass the pick-and-roll. This defender, who is exactly the same height as Yiyang, does not intend to be the backdrop for Yiyang's wonderful performance.

Just when everyone thought Yiyang was going to use the pick-and-roll to break through, the young No. 1 guard suddenly started to pass the ball!

The basketball circled Nowitzki's body, with a slight arc, and flew towards the three-second zone.

Iguodala, whose defensive attention was attracted by Yiyang, accidentally let Marion go. The latter didn't hesitate, and began to cut to the basket along the baseline. None of this escaped Yiyang's eyes.

The basketball was impartial and flew right into Marion's hands. At this point, Marion was very close to the basket. He only needs to take three steps directly, and he can directly attack the frame!

Marion did so, but Iguodala, who was chasing Marion, did not intend to let the 32-year-old veteran do what he wanted.

Just as Marion was jumping on one foot for a layup, Iguodala also jumped high at the same time. In terms of athletic ability, the current Marion cannot be compared with Iguodala at all. Seeing that Iguodala's palm was about to slap the basketball, Marion, who felt something was wrong, suddenly turned into a pass and passed the basketball from a zero-degree angle.

At this time, Yiyang suddenly inserted quickly from the middle. His speed and the suddenness of Marion's pass left the 76ers' players too late to react.

Yiyang caught the basketball firmly with both hands, and then suddenly "throwed" himself into the air!

"Bang!" The basket made a loud noise, and Yiyang, who was cutting in, dunked with both hands under the astonished eyes of everyone!

"Good shot! Yi and Marion completed a beautiful attack with only one pass each! Yi's appearance undoubtedly brought extra vitality to the Mavericks!" Kenny Smith may be one of the few who thinks Yiyang is one of the commentators who deserved the number one ranking. When he saw Yiyang put on a wonderful performance as soon as he came on stage, he was inexplicably excited inside.

"Good shot, good shot." After Yiyang let go of his hand and landed, Marion hurried up and stretched out his hand to Yiyang, intending to give him a high-five. Just now, he thought that his reluctant pass was about to make a mistake. Fortunately, Yiyang read the game correctly and rushed out in time, turning a ball that was about to be missed into a wonderful attack.

Yiyang didn't speak, but stared at Turner with proud eyes. Although the number one is silent, it doesn't mean that he can't hear or see.

The comments from the media, the doubts from the outside world, and the look that Turner gave Yiyang before the game started... Yiyang remembered everything in his heart, but he didn't want to bluff.

Are you ready? This guy from the Wood District has always been in debt! Before, he would use his fists against those who humiliated him. But now, Yiyang will use his performance on the field to make everyone shut up!

Turner gritted his teeth unwillingly, the matchup between No. 3 and No. 2 will continue in the NBA arena!
