One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 142: : Youth Storm

In the second quarter, Hayward, who scored 7 points in a single quarter, did not get even a minute of opportunity to play. Jerry Sloan is a stubborn old man. If he decides not to use you, it will be useless for you to score 30 points in a single quarter.

And it turns out that even without Hayward, the Jazz can play well. Maybe Hayward will be a good player in the future, but at least he is not in Sloan's mind now.

Sloan relies more on the main players, which is well known throughout the NBA. But even so, when Sloan was arranging tactics, Hayward was still listening carefully, waiting for his opportunity to come.

Sloan certainly saw everything that the white forward did. He doesn't know why, he seems to have changed. Maybe it's because everything around me has changed. The attitude that Hayward showed made Sloan's stubborn heart a little shaken.

The expression of Deron, who performed well in the second quarter, was not easy. Sloan's too rigid tactics made Dean feel that this old coach limited his performance. If it weren't for the **** tactics, Yiyang wouldn't be able to figure out his own rhythm so quickly.

But he didn't want to quarrel with this old man in the game, after all, the victory of the game is what everyone needs.

"Continue to put pressure on the rookie in the second half! Millsap, set up some pick-and-rolls for Deron. If the opponent changes defense, you pass back to Paul and let him shoot. Kirilenko! Play more aggressively! Attack the inside, don't always float outside the three-point line!" Sloan's tone is beyond doubt, and others may think that the old man's arrangement is nothing wrong with him. But Deron knew that Sloan's rigid tactics would soon be cracked by the Mavericks!

"Continue to put pressure on Deron and pass the ball more offensively. The Jazz don't have many offensive points. In the end, physical fitness will become the key to their offensive efficiency. But we are different. I want you to play more and more effective performances. Use. More firepower, devour them!" Carlisle does not expect his players to completely limit Deron Williams, the league’s top point guard, but the war of attrition is exactly what Carlisle likes to fight for a long time. .

At the beginning of the third quarter, both sides changed into the starting lineup. Even though Yiyang was sitting off the court, he stared at the fat man No. 8 with enthusiasm.

Every movement of Delong, every rhythm change was deeply imprinted in Yiyang's mind. Although the Jazz's uniform offense is efficient, it is also easy to target.

If it weren't for Al Jefferson's repeated fouls on the "Boxing King" in the paint, it might be difficult for the Jazz to get a chance to score.

Three minutes into the third quarter, Deron's tough breakthrough knocked Kidd down. But the referee did not call an offensive foul, he thought it was a reasonable collision. Deron didn't care about that much. After Kidd fell, he got an open position and then made a mid-range shot.

This was originally a normal conceded, but Kidd, who was knocked down by Deron, did not get up.

Carlisle called a timeout nervously. If Kidd, who is nearly 40 years old, makes a slight mistake, it will be a huge blow to the Mavericks lineup.

Although Kidd kept waving his hands and said that he was not in a serious condition, but was just badly injured, and was too painful for a while to be relieved. But Carlisle was still not at ease, so Yiyang was ordered to play early!

Sloan was indescribably happy to see that rookie appear again. Seeing that the Mavericks' defense was getting tighter, Kidd got off the court halfway through. Now as long as Deron can get this rookie, the Jazz offense can get back on track.

Sloan was relieved, but he didn't know how much pressure he was feeling with his No. 8 trump card.

First, the Mavericks attacked. Hayward looked at Yiyang, who was advancing with the ball on the court, with envy in his eyes. Deron looked at his sides and confirmed that there was no pick-and-roll. Therefore, he also thought that Yiyang would not attack by himself.

However, in the next second, Yiyang's calf suddenly kicked forward, passing by Deron who was not ready.

Williams immediately turned back and chased him back, but just as he changed his focus, Yiyang took a step back. This time, let him and Deron completely opened their positions!

Yiyang's retreat step brought him back to the three-point line, and Delong was now two steps away from Yiyang. Hayward off the court knew that his team was going to suffer.

Perhaps it is the reason why he likes this rhythm. In college, Hayward discovered that Yiyang's field goal percentage is higher than that of fixed-point jumpers. This is the same for Yiyang, whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-point shot.

Yiyang does prefer the feeling of shooting immediately after retreating, but in the efficient NBA, Yiyang rarely does this because he is afraid that he will screw everything up.

But now, facing the swayed Delong, Yiyang didn't hesitate anymore. Immediately after the retreat, he made a jumper outside the three-point line, and Sloan had already begun shouting to protect the rebound from the sidelines. However, the basketball fell into the net while spinning, and Yiyang hit a three-pointer!

"Also! A beautiful retreat shot! Even the experienced Deron Williams did not expect him to have such a hand!" Not to mention Deron, even Mike Brin did not expect it. Yang will directly shoot three points. After all, that Tanhuaxiu, like Kidd, was notoriously inaccurate.

Seeing Yiyang hit a three-pointer resolutely, Hayward almost got up from his seat and waved the towel. Fortunately, he glanced down, only to remember that he was wearing a Jazz jersey.

"That kid's eyes have changed." Kidd, who was still holding his chest, looked at Yiyang's performance, and couldn't help showing his white teeth.

After being bullied by Deron Williams for a whole quarter, now the Chinese is about to fight back! Debts must be paid, this is the characteristic of Yiyang!

Yiyang was no longer expressionless, but frowned and looked fierce. He is a game-type player. What is a game-type player? That is, the more pressure the other party puts on him, the more excited he is! The stronger the opponent, the better he is! Who is the most famous game player in the NBA? There is no doubt that Kobe Bryant!

Yiyang is not as terrifying as Kobe now, but when Delong saw Yiyang's expression, he was still uncomfortable.

This time, Yiyang didn't press Delong, but let him go a short distance away. Deron looked at Sloan, the old man's stern eyes made Williams afraid to play tricks.

So Deron raised his hand and called for a pick-and-roll, Kirilenko started to run to find opportunities, everything looked the same as before.

With the pick-and-roll in place, Williams immediately broke through. Nowitzki and Yiyang switched defenses. According to tactics, Millsap was given an open shot. Because in front of him, the dwarf Yi** was not a threat.

When Deron was preparing to pass the ball, he found that Yiyang was accurately stuck in his passing route. The tactics have not been played out, but Deron is already in the enemy line!

In the end, Deron had to pass the ball to Kirilenko, the alternate end point. Kirilenko took the ball and jumped, but the physical ability of confrontation has been much worse than the previous Russians, and he failed to make a tough layup again.

The Jazz's offense failed, Yiyang grabbed the rebound, and then began to advance quickly!

Seeing that Yiyang was planning to make a surprise attack, Deron immediately blocked the show with his strong body near the midfield line. Facts have proved that Deron's physique is indeed one of the top defenders. He successfully delayed Yiyang's advancement and did not let this lightning-fast Chinese directly hit the basket.

Although Yiyang's pace slowed down, his thinking and hands were not delayed. Suddenly, he made a pass with both hands vigorously to the left, and the basketball flew into the hands of Terry who happened to be behind.

Terry made a sudden stop with the ball, just outside the three-point line. "The Jets" likes the rhythm of chasing three-pointers, and he calmly shot the ball before Raja Bell was in place. Basketball hit again, the Mavericks scored 6 points in a row and officially completed the lead.

The Mavericks are beginning to bloom more, but the Jazz are still playing a rigid pick-and-roll. The connection between Deron and Millsap was cut again by Yiyang, and Kirilenko received the basketball again.

This time the Russian has learned to be smart. He is not breaking through, but throws the ball. After all, he has an advantage in the wingspan, and Marion may not be able to interfere with him.

But the facts proved that this was only Kirilenko's wishful thinking. "AK47"'s shot hit the right side of the basket and failed to make a hit. The Jazz's pick and roll failed again, and Chandler grabbed a defensive rebound and did not give Salt Lake City's Jagged Army a second offense.

Instead of playing for Kidd, Yiyang didn't hold back the team, but instead used a beautiful assist to help Nowitzki comfortably receive the basketball in the three-second zone.

The German turned to hook and the basketball hit the net. The four-point gap remains the same, but the leading and trailing teams have switched positions.

"Damn it!" Yiyang's performance was completely different from that of the second quarter, which made Sloan somewhat doubt what he insisted on. Is it possible that rookies can really become the backbone of a team? Sloan looked at Hayward with a serious expression, then shook his head.

Once again, Kirilenko was prepared to hang the ball to Al Jefferson, who was in a good position in the post. However, Kirilenko's overly obvious intention was anticipated by Nowitzki, who stood early and intercepted the pass midway, exposing the Russians' passing mistakes again.

After the steal, Nowitzki hurriedly handed the ball to Yiyang. Yiyang hit a long pass, and the basketball crossed several legs to Marion, who had already started. Marion did not fear Deron's defense, and made a strong one-handed dunk.

After Marion made a successful dunk, the referee's hasty whistle came. It wasn't Deron that fouled, but the frustrated Sloan called a timeout.

"Are you idiots!?" Undoubtedly, the old man was furious again. This guy may only show his meek appearance in front of the tombstone of his old friend Larry Miller.

"Gordon! You are on the court! If the ball gets in your hands, give me the **** basketball to the basket instead of sending it to someone else!" Kirilenko was naturally a little unhappy when he heard this . But what can he do? Do you stand up and resist like Deron?

Hayward did not dare to slack off, and now is when Sloan is in a bad mood. Even if you move a little slower, you will make him unhappy.

Hayward's re-entry was considered by many commentators to be a deliberate act by Sloan to show the players. As long as you don't perform well, I would rather let a rookie play, and I will put you on the bench.

But Hayward didn't think he was just a sign that Sloan used to warn the main players. He came on the court just to win!

In the subsequent offense, the Mavericks' defense against the Jazz pick-and-rolls has been very adept. The opportunity came again in the third position. Hayward did not shiver with the ball. In the face of almost the same situation as Kirilenko, Hayward made a confident jumper, allowing the Jazz to finally break the scoring drought. This time, Kirilenko's expression was very ugly.

Hayward's re-appearance made Stevens excited again. In the entire third quarter, the performance of Yiyang and Hayward made the young marshal laugh from ear to ear~www.novelmtl.com~ also had to pass, no, it was a fake pass. His real goal is to make a layup by himself! Deron was deceived, Jefferson was deceived, and the whole Jazz was fooled by the rookie. Two points hit, the Mavericks continued to consolidate their advantage. "

"Deron Williams' mid-range shot! No, the interference was very good and he missed the shot. Wait, Gordon! Gordon Hayward grabbed the offensive rebound, and he made a strong layup under the basket. , Chandler fouled, the goal was scored! Three-pointer! Hayward got a chance to make a three-pointer!"

"Yi's wonderful pass, Marion turns again, the opportunity lies with Terry! Yes! The jet is about to take off! Yi's organizational ability is indeed completely incompatible with the word rookie."

"Hayward flying dunks! Hey, white people can fly too!"

Mike Brin’s voice seemed to be born for Yiyang and Hayward. Perhaps Sloan would not have thought of it when he was killed. Two young rookies, who were still young, became the dominant players in this important game!

But this is the fact, Deron was blocked by Yiyang uncomfortably, Jefferson and Millsap were delayed to receive the ball. It was with Hayward that the Jazz were able to bite the score.

In the third quarter, the offenses of both sides were very exciting. Among them, Yiyang and Hayward were undoubtedly the two most shining points.

Although Sloan is not sure that the childish Hayward will be the key to the fourth quarter. But at least now he is quite sure that in the future, he will really have to increase Hayward's playing time.

The Gemini of the Bulldogs shocked people on the NBA stage, but no matter how good the performance of the two is, now they are playing for two different teams, only one person can win the game.

And the final quarter of the game, which will determine the final winner, is about to come. The youth storm of the two newcomers, it seems, will continue to wreak havoc in Salt Lake City!
