One Guard

　　 After the game, the chaotic dressing room and the luxury fans imagined were completely indifferent. The scattered jerseys, basketball shoes, socks and all kinds of things will definitely make everyone hate such a place.

　　 But this locker room is not a little "view", nor is there any. The women's basketball players who just came out of the shower are much more attractive than the shirtless guys.

　　 Valentina Vignali wrapped in a bathrobe and was taking out her casual clothes from her locker. Tonight, Lazio once again thwarted his opponent at home, and Valentina also scored 13 points and 7 assists. Naturally, you can't compare the statistics of the Italian Women's Basketball League with the NBA. 13 points and 7 assists are indeed a very beautiful statistic in the women's league.

　　 After winning tonight, the female basketball players did not have a game to play for the next four consecutive days. Therefore, Valentina's teammates also began to invite everywhere. I want to take advantage of these few days of free time to relax.

"Hey, Vig, after training tomorrow afternoon, let's go shopping. In the evening, we can also go to the French restaurant on the riverside to eat. I just love the foie gras there." One of Vignali’s teammates came up. , Sent an invitation to the main team leader.

　　 "I want to go to bed earlier tomorrow night, you go." Uncharacteristically, the playful Vignali refused.

　　 "Sleep? So what are you doing in the middle of the night, dating a man?" The teammate joked.

　　 "I go to bed early in the evening and get better early in the morning to watch the NBA live broadcast. Tomorrow, there is an important game that must not be missed!" In Italy, NBA live broadcasts usually start in the early morning. Because Italy is 6 hours ahead of the United States, the prime time in the United States is already early in the morning on the Italian side.

　　 "Oh, it turned out to be a date! If I'm not mistaken, it must be the Mavericks game." Vignali's teammate raised her eyebrows at her.

　　 "Yes, the Mavericks game." Vignali said, taking off the towel wrapped around her body. Her model-like figure made all teammates cast envious eyes. The girl hummed a little song happily, with a faint smile on her face.

　　 Tomorrow morning, see or leave...

　　※※※

　　 "How are the game preparations?" At 7:30 pm on November 15th, US time, the US Airline Center Arena, the Dallas Mavericks' home locker room. Yiyang is talking on the phone with his mentor, Marshal Brad Stevens.

　　 "Everything is OK, the game will start soon." Yiyang's calm tone calmed Stevens' mood a lot.

　　 "Listen, you must not be prestigious in front of Paul. This guy's steals are amazing, as long as you are careless, basketball will be out of control!" Stevens took the phone, as if back to a year ago.

　　 "I know the boss, Coach Carlisle explained everything yesterday. Don't worry, I won't let him easily succeed." At this time, the door of the locker room was pushed open. Seeing Yiyang on the phone, the stadium staff made a few gestures.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. The player introduction ceremony will begin soon. Hey, how is Gordon's situation?" Yiyang remembered, for Hayward, today against "Elvis" Gerrard The Wallace game is also very important.

　　 "Everything went well for Gordon, the Jazz has taken the lead, and the kid is playing well. Now, it's up to you."

　　 "I will do my best." Yiyang finished speaking, hung up the phone, and walked quickly to the exit of the player channel.

　　 Outside the player channel, the lights in the audience have been dimmed. Under the roar of the live DJ and the cheers of the fans, the Mavericks started five tigers one by one on the court to pay tribute to the fans. This player introduction ceremony, which was specially organized for the national live broadcast, can be said to be a good mobilization of the atmosphere of the scene.

　　 The camera scanned the faces of the Mavericks' starting five tigers one by one, but in the end, it was fixed on the head of Yiyang wearing training uniforms.

　　 ESPN director immediately typed a line at the bottom of the screen, "Dallas's key to victory: Yiyang".

　　 This young guard who has not entered the starting lineup is an important weapon for the Mavericks to stop the Hornets from winning streak today!

　　 After the player introduction ceremony, the players of both sides stood up. Yiyang looked at the No. 3 guard in the Hornets away cyan jersey on the field. This guy is the shortest person on the field. But after the start of the game, he is bound to become the most terrifying existence in the audience!

　　 At the beginning of the game, both sides played very steadily. In order to contain the Hornets’ powerful offense, Carlisle deliberately pushed DeShawn Williams into the starting lineup today, while letting Jose Barea sit on the bench.

　　 The effect of Carlisle's change is very obvious, although Stevens is not a perimeter defensive gate. But with his restraint, the Hornets’ crazy high shooting rate in the past was curbed.

　　 Therefore, at the beginning of the game, the two sides played can be said to be unattractive. This is definitely a big blow to Vignali who wakes up to watch the ball in the early morning.

　　 The girl yawned boredly, her eyelids seemed to collapse. At this moment, the passionate Italian commentary lit up Vignali's eyes.

"Both sides played very anxiously. Coach Monty Williams and Coach Rick Carlisle seem to intend to change the situation on the court with substitutions! The Hornets replaced our Italian defender Marco Belinelli. , Replaced by the Croatian Peja Stojavić." At the end of the game, many Italian fans sighed. Their Belinelli performance was very average today, and now only five minutes into the first quarter, he was replaced by Peja.

　　 But Vignali is very excited. If the Hornets make a substitution, then the Mavericks...

"The Mavericks used Ye and Terry to replace Kidd and Stevens. It seems that both sides intend to make more effort on the offensive end!" The Italian voice just fell and the timeout ended. The chirping sounded.

　　 Seeing the Chinese man wearing the Dallas No. 1 jersey stepping onto the court, Vignali’s sleepiness was instantly wiped out. Yiyang always brings surprises to people on the court. Vignali stared at her big eyes. For her, the game finally officially started!

　　 Yiyang received the baseline ball, and while slowly advancing, he gesticulated his teammates to move. Paul did not become irritable because Yiyang was a rookie. He lowered his weight and opened his arms, as if waiting for this young boy to cast himself into the net.

　　 Nowitzki originally had a better position on the inside, but due to Paul's defense, Yiyang missed the best time to pass the ball. Helpless Nowitzki had to withdraw from the three-second zone and seek opportunities again.

　　 Yiyang took a step back, and then continued to face the frame to control the ball. If he kept leaning on his side like this, Yiyang didn't know how many opportunities he would miss.

　　 Generally speaking, most defenders are afraid of Yiyang's speed. When Yiyang took a step back, they would not continue to push up. If it is forced to go up, it is equivalent to giving Yiyang a chance to overtake straight.

　　 But Paul did not play the cards according to the routine, when Yiyang took a step back and tried to get dribble space. Paul not only pounced, but he pounced very fiercely!

　　 "Opportunity!" Seeing this situation, Yiyang kicked his calf, intending to break through!

　　 However, in the next second, what greeted him was not the pleasure of successfully passing the match-up, but Chris Paul's tough blocking!

　　 "Failed to succeed! I was also abruptly stopped by Chris!" ESPN trump card commentator Mike Brin shouted passionately. Paul's predictive ability gave Yiyang a good lesson.

　　 Just as Kidd said, Yiyang's breakthrough that relies on speed is not applicable to everyone.

After 　　 was stopped by Paul, Yiyang knew that he had to make a quick shot. If he continues to control, he will occupy too long possession time, thereby delaying the team's offense.

　　 So Yiyang gave the ball to Terry, and Terry turned the ball to Nowitzki. In the face of David West's defense, Nowitz Funds managed to retreat after independence and succeeded in a jumper.

　　 Although the Mavericks succeeded in scoring, Yiyang felt very uncomfortable. In this round, he was completely looked down upon by Paul!

Switching to Yiyang's defense, he is also attentive. Paul's ability has already revealed the tip of the iceberg in the just round~www.novelmtl.com~ This No. 3 point guard has a calm expression and has not been ten times higher than himself by Yiyang. The height of a centimeter was shocked.

　　Paul came to Yiyang, raised his left hand, and called for a pick-and-roll.

　　 "Boxing" Tyson, who used to play next to Paul, knew what Paul wanted to do. He did not go out next to Emeka Okafor, but stayed behind, ready to make up for defense at any time!

　　Okafor's pick-and-roll was in place, Paul didn't do any extra moves, he directly shot the ball to the left, and successfully broke through with the pick-and-roll!

　　 Yiyang immediately got rid of the entanglement with Okafor, turned around and ran. In the three seconds zone, Tyson Chandler was already ready.

　　 Under normal circumstances, facing Yiyang and Chandler's front and back pincers, most players' offenses will be blocked. But Paul is definitely not in the category of the majority.

　　 Paul stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, and against Yiyang's pressure from behind, the No. 3 guard took off on one foot.

　　 Seeing that Paul really wanted to attack the frame by himself, Tyson Chandler jumped up high, intending to block his former teammate's shot.

　　 However, Paul's soft-touch toss just passed the fingertips of "Boxing" Tyson. After that, the orange basketball immediately fell, hollowing into the net!

　　 "Paul easily defeated Yihe Tyson, this is the level of a top point guard!" Kenny Smith clapped and exclaimed, and on the court, Paul also proudly raised his hands to celebrate the goal. The feeling of basketball over the big man and falling into the basket is what Paul enjoys the most.

　　 One defense, one offense. Through this offensive and one defensive performance, Paul has explained to Yiyang what is the real top.

　　 Vignali, who was watching TV in the early morning, couldn't help clenching her fists. Don't give up, Dallas One!
