One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 108: : Hard fight

   Chris Paul looked at the timer on the backboard, so he immediately started running after receiving the baseline ball, hoping to get as close to the basket as possible.

  Yiyang naturally wouldn't let Paul get a chance so easily. He followed Carlisle's arrangement and adopted a defensive strategy of pressing against Paul. If someone else presses on Paul, it is tantamount to suicide. But Yiyang's speed will not suffer when he is close to Paul.

   Paul survived the huge interference and finally passed halftime, but there was not much time left. There was no way, the Hornets had to pull the onions on dry land and shoot forcibly.

   Yiyang’s interference was very timely, although he could not directly complete the cover. But Paul's ultra-long three-pointer under severe interference has also directly become a hollow outside the basket. In the next second, the red light on the backboard lights up, and the electronic buzzer resounds throughout the audience.

   At the end of the third quarter, 72 to 70, the Hornets still led by 2 points after a poor third quarter. But everyone knows that this is not a lead at all. If the game time is extended by another 24 seconds, the Mavericks are likely to tie the score.

   ESPN’s live cameraman immediately aimed the camera at Yiyang. The outstanding performance of this flower show in the second half of the third quarter is one of the keys to the Mavericks’ ability to restore the situation at this moment.

   Chris Paul's defense is still excellent, but he can't directly kill him like before. In the third quarter, Yiyang used a breakthrough method to frequently score and pass, leading the Mavericks to play the most efficient wave of offensive frenzy in the entire game.

   Although Italian Bellinelli's two consecutive three-pointers and Paul's tenacious fighting spirit, the Hornets finally held the lead. But their leading position is actually already in the midst of the ups and downs.

   "Good job! I knew you could do it!" After Yiyang walked off the court, the first person to greet him was not Carlisle, but the old Kidd who taught Yiyang the right path.

  Kid knows that what Yiyang lacks most now is experience. If he is willing to share his experience with him, Yiyang’s weaknesses will instantly become much smaller.

   Chris Paul definitely understood this deeply. Yiyang is completely different from the stinky boy who didn't score a point in the first quarter. Now he knows when to score and when to pass. When should I break through and when should I shoot.

   Although from the data point of view, Yiyang still cannot be compared with Paul. But Paul also had to admit that it became more and more difficult for him to prevent Yiyang.

   After the performance of the Mavericks mascot, the fans all cheered fiercely. Of course, they are not cheering for the mascot's performance, but for the upcoming fourth quarter decisive battle.

   Jason Kidd, Paul's opponent changed another person at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Paul, who had barely rested in the first three quarters, was exhausted at this time, but he still had to accept the impact of the other two.

   Willie Green has been selected by Barkley as the best player of the game because of "helping" Yiyang in full state. In other words, Monty Williams is unlikely to let Green continue to play. Chris Paul’s playing time in the fourth quarter will probably not be reduced too much.

   Dragging his tired footsteps, Kidd broke through again. Paul wanted to use his superb steals to stop Kidd, but how could Kidd, who is experienced, make such a mistake.

   His steady breakthrough made Paul lose steadily. In the end, Kidd used a breakthrough point to help Nowitzki hit a mid-range shot. The score was equalized and the two sides returned to the same starting line.

   In the next few minutes of the game, the Mavericks were very stable on both ends of the offense and defense, and the Hornets, under the leadership of Paul, played steadily and did not continue to let the point difference be widened.

   Carlisle is not in a hurry, now as long as the Mavericks can stabilize the situation, the task is completed. As for the responsibility of killing the game... Carlisle looked at Yiyang and left it to a younger and more impactful person to complete it.

   Yiyang waited on the bench for a long time, even Deshaun Stevens played, but Yiyang still guarded Carlisle. But this guy didn't say anything, and didn't complain. If you change into a suit, people might think that this expressionless Chinese is an assistant coach.

   For Vignali, who watched the ball in the early morning, the wonderful game in the fourth quarter almost made her fall asleep on the sofa. After all, the only thing this girl had in her eyes was Yiyang.

   Chris Paul counterattacked like a frenzy, which intensified his physical exhaustion. Kidd's efforts were not in vain. After half of the fourth quarter, Paul's shooting percentage dropped significantly. After a few more minutes, Paul's breakthrough was not as sharp as before.

   At this time, there are only 3 minutes left before the end of the game, and the Mavericks are still leading by 3 points. After David West shot and hit the ball again and the "Boxer" controlled the ball, Carlisle suddenly got up and called a timeout!

   Everyone knows the purpose of Carlisle’s timeout, the impact. Now as long as the Mavericks add some more impact, they can crush the fragile Hornets in one fell swoop! Who is the most impactful person in the Mavericks team? There is no doubt that it is Yiyang!

"Also! In the last three minutes, I will keep you on the court! If we lose today, I will reduce your playing time in the next game!" Carlisle patted Yiyang seriously on the shoulder, and Yiyang was not caught. Carlisle's "threat" was shocked. He just nodded silently, everything seemed almost the same as usual.

   Kidd, panting, was sitting on the bench and drinking Gatorade frantically. This old guard has done everything he can to win the game. Similarly, Chris Paul's situation is not much better. The only difference is that the Mavericks have Yiyang to shoulder the responsibility of Kidd. And Paul, must do it himself!

   The game restarted, and the Mavericks put on all the starting lines, except for Kidd. The Hornets also made four starters, but Stojakovic replaced Belinelli.

   On the first goal of the opening, Yiyang used a lightning breakthrough to cause Paul's foul. Paul wanted to stay with Yiyang, but Yiyang is now energetic, but "Queen Bee" is exhausted.

  Yiyang did not make the mistake of missing free throws in the third quarter. He made two free throws steadily and the Mavericks' advantage was consolidated.

   For the Hornets offense, Paul called Okafor for a pick-and-roll, but he broke through to the side with no cover. Unexpectedly, Yiyang moved sideways in time to block the Hornets 3. Paul's breakthrough failed to succeed again!

   Now, Paul's speed is not as scary as before. As long as Yiyang reacts in a timely manner, it can immediately complete the blockade!

   As a point guard with an excellent overall picture, Paul will not be obsessed with fighting Yiyang alone. Seeing that the opportunity was gone, Paul started a pass directly and threw the ball into Stojakovic's hands.

   This legendary shooter from Europe shot directly, but this simple intention was easily seen by experienced Stevens.

   Stevens successfully interfered, the Hornets missed a three-pointer. Yiyang took over the basketball and the Mavericks ran wild again!

   Yiyang suddenly hit the ground with a strong pass during the advancing process, and delivered the ball to Stevens. Stevens is a defensive second position, and his shooting is usually unstable. Therefore, Stojakovic did not force it.

   But Yiyang's pass was so comfortable that Stevens couldn't help but want to try it. Stojakovic obviously didn't expect Stevens to start shooting. When he blocked it, DeShawn's shot had already been shot!

   The basketball slammed into the hoop, and it was obvious that Deshaun’s hand was not soft. But after playing a few times in the circle, the basketball fell into the net obediently, and the Mavericks took three more points! Yiyang also got his ninth assist in this game!

   The game was approaching the edge of collapse step by step, and the impatient Ariza hurriedly shot at the bottom corner. The basketball smashed out of the box and almost made a hit. But the referee won't give you a sympathetic point just because the basketball is so close to the hit.

   Once again, the Hornets retreated quickly, but they were still not as fast as the yellow lightning in Dallas. Yiyang showed his impact to the fullest, and this is why Carlisle sent him on the court at the last moment.

The frustrated David West directly pulled Yiyang down, who had already taken off. Although it was nothing wrong to stop Yiyang with a foul, Monty Williams, the young coach, hugged himself with chagrin. Head. Because this is already West's sixth foul in this game!

   After West’s six fouls "graduated" ~www.novelmtl.com~ the Hornets had to replace West with white forward Jason Smith, which means that the Hornets have lost an important offensive strength.

   Yiyang still hit two free throws in a quiet environment. Every time Yiyang makes a shot, it seems to be stabbing Paul in the chest with a sharp knife.

   In the last minute, the Hornets trailed by 8 points. Everyone on the Mavericks bench stands on the sidelines, ready to celebrate the arrival of victory.

   At the last moment, Paul showed his terrible side in front of Yiyang. This guy turned on the personal attack mode, using a variety of difficult methods, hitting consecutive shots on the Yiyang head!

   facing the defensive chasing three-pointer, hit! Stop jumper, hit! The body was completely distorted layup, also hit!

  Yiyang knew that the gap between himself and Paul could not be made up by Kidd with a few words. But Yiyang's excellent organization did not stop the Mavericks' scoring.

Although Paul's performance in the last minute made everyone grow their mouths in fright, in the last second, after Paul missed a three-pointer against Yiyang's defense, the New Orleans Hornets, who had already won eight consecutive victories, were still in the game. Dallas, unfortunately lost by 3 points!

   95 to 98, the Dallas Mavericks broke the unbeaten record for the Hornets this season!

   After the game, Yiyang let out a sigh of relief, his heart beating wildly. 16 points and 10 assists, although Yiyang's data is not as good as Paul's 26 points and 9 assists. But anyway, this guy successfully completed his mission.

  Yiyang looked at the teammates who approached him, physically and mentally exhausted, he directly nestled on the group of big men. I was not killed by Paul, I persisted till the end...
