One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 141: : The Rhythm Master of Salt Lake City

In 2320, in the green ‘spring’ storm between Yiyang and Hayward, the fierce confrontation between the two sides in the first quarter of the match made the fans of the game very addicted. The excellent performance of Yiyang and Hayward made Steve in front of the TV stand up and raise his arms to cheer for his two disciples as if they were on the scene.

"Coach Jerry Sloan is really smart. Today he suddenly increased Hayward's playing time. As a result, the young white forward really did not live up to Coach Sloan's expectations. He scored 7 points and 2 assists in a single quarter. Without Hayward, the Jazz might not be only behind by 3 points now. I am looking forward to how Coach Sloan will maximize Hayward’s potential in the following games?"

Although Mike Brin in the commentary seat grabbed Jerry Sloan and exaggerated, the old man was actually surprised that Hayward could behave like training in the official game.

But he also knows that a large part of this is because the Mavericks didn't do any defense against Hayward. Take a look at Marion's absent-minded defense against Hayward. If Marion is a defensive player like Carlisle, then the game will only get harder and harder for Hayward.

Sloan didn't dare to take the risk, so he decided to hit the ball in the hands of someone more sure.

Seeing Jerry Sloan lay out tactics for his two twin towers, Hayward was still a little bit disappointed. He obviously had performed so well, but Sloan didn't even have a word of praise.

On the other hand, Carlisle is a completely different coach from Sloan. He will not ignore his rookie players, but reuse them.

"In the second quarter, I want you to put more of your'energy' on the defensive end! Limit Deron Williams and don't let him score comfortably. This guy has had a lot of trouble with Sloan recently. If you let him behave abnormally, maybe Sloan will push him directly on the bench. Also, be smart, don't be deceived by his changing rhythm." Carlisle was the first to speak to Yiyang, Yiyang nodded slightly, maybe many young people The guards have a strong offensive desire, and they disdain for defense. But for Yiyang, defense and offense are equally important.

Make all the adjustments, and the break time is almost over. Players from both sides stepped onto the court again, and Yiyang replaced Kidd as the starter in the second quarter, while Hayward, who showed ‘color’ in the first quarter, was left out of the bench by Sloan. It seems that Hayward's performance in the first quarter still can't make Sloan, who has never trusted a rookie much, change his mind.

Yiyang is too late to complain about Hayward. The fat Jazz No. 8 in front of him is Yiyang's goal now.

In the first quarter, Yiyang often faced off against the old villain Raja Bell. But Delong and Yiyang also faced him for a while.

For this defender, Yiyangxin's evaluation is smart. Although Deron himself has good scoring ability, Deron is still the kind of point guard who puts the ball first. At least at this point, Delong and Yiyang are still very similar.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Jazz took the lead. Deron Williams just passed the half-time gesturing, Yiyang lowered his center of gravity and opened his arms horizontally in front of the No. 8.

Delong heard that the old man said to be careful of the ‘flower’ show, and he almost heard the callus in his ears. Therefore, he did not take it lightly, but faced this newcomer from the country with his most serious attitude.

Delong suddenly straightened up his waist and stopped in his footsteps. It seemed that he was about to break through, but his wrist shook suddenly!

The basketball flew past Yiyang's ears and flew into the hands of Raja Bell who came to respond. After Bell received the ball, he quickly delivered the ball again, and Millsap came to the distance to catch the ball.

Nowitzki failed to keep up with the extremely fast pace of transfer and was shot by Millsap, who was also good at shooting.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Deron executed the old Sloan's tactics well. Let the inside line be the end point, although Deron did not directly assist, but helped his teammates complete everything.

Delong can deceive Yiyang with his own rhythm changes, and Yiyang also has his own advantages, that is speed!

Deron's lateral movement is not fast, and if you add a little pick and roll, it is not difficult to break through his defense. This point, Yiyang had already practiced with a dunk after a breakthrough in the first quarter.

But in the second quarter, the Jazz's defense against Yiyang was significantly strengthened. Jerry Sloan is not the kind of coach who is still indifferent while watching the opponent score. Even if it is thrown, Jerry Sloan will restrict you!

This time, Yiyang once again used the pick-and-roll to break through the "De Fat", but when he passed his matchup, he found that Al Jefferson, who was originally defending Chandler, had switched defense to him. At the same time, Deron crossed in front of Chandler and blocked Yiyang's pass to Chandler.

Yiyang looked at Chandler, only to see Chandler's left hand finger lightly pointing towards the sky.

The No. 1 guard immediately understood. He looked in the direction of Nowitzki on the left, but he threw the ball directly into the air.

Al Jefferson didn't know what Yiyang wanted to do, but he still raised his arms. Seeing the ball grazed from Jefferson's fingertips, Deron immediately understood the intention of the ball as a point guard. But Chandler behind Deron has leaped high, and it's too late!

Under the huge height gap, Deron did not intercept the basketball. Chandler firmly grasped Yiyang's pass with both hands in the air, and then slammed it into the frame!

"Boom!" The basket let out a painful "groan", Tyson Chandler slapped his own "chest" after landing. This beast seemed to tear up everything in front of him.

"By Yi's side, Tyson seems to be able to complete one or two air-receiving performances every game. The Jazz's defense is actually very beautiful this time, but Yi's pass will always find the defensive weakness!"

Deron Williams shook his head. If Sloan asked him to limit Yiyang's scoring, he could pat his chest and say he could do it. But you have to let him limit Yiyang not to help the team score, which is almost impossible to accomplish.

Two attacks, two goals. Although neither Delong nor Yiyang scored, the war between them has actually begun to become ‘aggressive’.

After the Jazz counterattacked, Yiyang still posted Deron very hard. Deron is the kind of guard who breaks through rhythm, so Yiyang is not afraid that Deron will step past him.

"Huh, young man!" Seeing Yiyang defending himself like this, the corner of Delong's mouth turned slightly. He first slowly changed the ball from left to right. Yiyang thought that Delong just wanted to advance to the right.

However, in the next second, Deron, who had been sluggish, suddenly turned to the left! The speed of this moment and the sudden change in rhythm completely exceeded the expectations of the rookie Yiyang.

But Yiyang did not give up, his sensitive nerves still forced his legs to move horizontally and block it. Yiyang succeeded. Instead of letting Delong slip away from him, he had physical contact with this guy.

But at this time, the advantage of Deron's "big" body was revealed. "De Fat"'s strength at the top of the guard made him squeeze Yiyang abruptly, and then strode inside.

Seeing this situation, Chandler immediately made up for defense. Deron was not stupid enough to fight Chandler. After stepping into the three-second zone, he used a soft toss to avoid confrontation with Chandler and successfully scored the ball!

"A Deron Williams-style goal!" Mike Brin is still fascinated by Deron's'exquisite' rhythmic changes. His roar has spread this kind of'excitement' to every one. Ball'fan' in the living room.

Deron looked at Yiyang after scoring, as if he was saying: "Rookie, don't think you can be so lucky every time, you can just hit the star when the star is in a bad state."

"Or let me come." Kidd, who was sitting off the court, was a little worried when he saw this scene. Deron Williams' breakthrough is the league's top, maybe his speed is not as exaggerated as Wade and Paul and others, but a person who can use rhythm, perhaps only a person with speed is even more terrifying.

Delong thought that after the rookie was beaten by himself, he would definitely do his best to find face. However, Yiyang's cold expression made Deron even doubt whether this guy was emotional.

When Deron was ready to block Yiyang's breakthrough, Yiyang passed the ball directly to Nowitzki who was in a better position. Nowitzki singles Millsap, this is the simplest question to send points.

The German advanced two steps to ‘bait’ Millsap into a back seat and then suddenly withdrew his jumper, making the Jazz’s starting power forward too late to react. Naturally, the Mavericks once again maintained their lead.

Deron looked back and saw that the rookie guard had retreated to his own half, then lowered his center of gravity, opened his arms, and waited for his arrival.

"Damn it!" Seeing the rookie who didn't have the slightest ‘wave’ in his heart, Deron was rather anxious. As long as the opponent's mentality does not collapse, Deron knows that his offense will only become more and more difficult.

For the second time, Delong used a method of rushing up, stopping and then rushing to deceive Yiyang's center of gravity to make a breakthrough. But this time, Delong could clearly feel that Yiyang's reaction had just gotten a lot faster, and the rookie was gradually adapting to his offensive rhythm!

This time, the Mavericks' lineup shrank even faster. Although Deron couldn't score by himself, he still passed the ball to Kirilenko like a stitch.

Kirilenko was a little frightened by Hayward's performance in the first quarter. He knew that if he went down again, he might lose his starting position.

So the Russian striker, who has experienced injuries and has passed his peak period, hit the basket hard, relying on his wingspan advantage to lean on Marion's hard basket to succeed.

Jerry Sloan waved his fist lightly, this is the offense his team should play! Sloan really doesn't like Hayward's shooting type forward.

With Deron Williams' performance becoming more and more'colorful', the Jazz not only filled the gap, but also successfully completed the lead in the eighth minute of the second quarter.

Although Kidd replayed afterwards, he still couldn't stop Deron's crazy footsteps.

His scoring and assists caused the Mavericks' defense to be battered. Yiyang has faced many star point guards so far, but this time against Delong is the only time Yiyang has been completely blown by a star.

At the end of the half-time game, the points of the two sides became 4953. The Jazz, who was 3 points behind ~www.novelmtl.com~, have now returned to the locker room with a 4 point lead.

During the break, the ESPN reporter stopped Yiyang before he walked into the player channel. Deron Williams scored 12 points and 6 assists in the half, while Yiyang only scored 7 points and 4 assists from Kelvin. Although the data is not that big, but from the scene, Yiyang is completely helpless with Delong. This huge contrast is why ESPN decided to interview Yiyang.

"What do you think of yourself being completely suppressed by Deron Williams in the halftime game?" In the face of a rookie, reporters will not save Yiyang face. This problem can be said to hit the nail on the head.

"The game is not over yet." Yiyang left this sentence and left the camera.

Perhaps from the scene, Yiyang and even Kidd had nothing to do with Deron. But only Delong himself knows that the pressure on him by the rookie who has no ‘wave’ in mind has increased.

In the second half, when Yiyang fully adapted to Deron's rhythm. Delong didn't know whether he was able to turn the tide.

As Yiyang said, the game is not over yet. Who is the one who will kill you? Not necessarily...
