One Guard

McMillan's timeout did allow the Blazers players to stabilize their rhythm a bit, and were not brought into the vicious circle of playing faster and faster. But this is just that the point difference has not been opened up. The Trail Blazers did not get the lead as they wished after the end of the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 20 to 24. The Mavericks who played at home, being looked down on all the way, walked off the court with a 4-point lead.

After watching the first quarter of the game, Mouran was so excited that he couldn't help himself. As his counterparts said before the game, the Mavericks really did not fall behind without Nowitzki. Perhaps for a team like the Trail Blazers, the Germans may really not be the key!

In the stands, countless fans have raised signs related to Yiyang. The entire stadium is already in a state of boiling, and the rapid scoring frenzy led by Yiyang makes everyone eager to see how the next game will develop.

"I can't wait for Kenny, the game was really exciting. Coach McMillan only gave Aldridge one minute to rest in the first quarter, just one minute! However, the Trail Blazers still didn't take advantage of it! In the game, when Aldridge took this scoring point and rested, I really can’t imagine how the Trail Blazers can support such a scene." Barkley looked at Aldridge’s playing time in the first quarter of the game, 11 minutes. In order to prevent the team from losing too much, keeping Aldridge on the court is the only way for McMillan. However, even so, he still did not stop the decline.

"The Mavericks' scoring momentum is very strong, but Coach Carlisle did not give up defense. We can see that in the second half of the first quarter, Marion and Chandler worked very well together, and the two teamed up to guard against LaMarcus. Quite a few shots. This kind of running and bombing style that takes into account both defense and offense is exactly what Kim Carey...No, it's Coach Carlisle's masterpiece." Kenny Smith also took Carlisle to open with everyone. A joke, because when Carlisle was young, he looked a lot like the famous actor Kim Carey, so commentators and fans often use this name to tease him.

Under the two eloquent mouths of Kenny Smith and Barkley, the break time did not let the fans get bored. In a blink of an eye, players from both sides stepped onto the court again, and the wonderful confrontation between the two teams will continue.

"Boy!" Just as Yiyang was about to return to the court, Nowitzki, who was in a suit and leather shoes, stopped behind the well-behaved flower show.

"Ok?"

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Nowitzki knew that Yiyang was the axis of Carlisle's tactics today, and it was naturally the most stressful point.

"Yeah." Yiyang replied briefly and stepped into the court. Nowitzki looked at the figure wearing the number one jersey from the back. Is this guy's heart really there forever?

The battle between the two sides continued, Aldridge was still standing on the court, it seems that McMillan will not let Aldridge rest before the lead.

Because today is the basketball that Kampi first competed in, the first team in the second quarter became the Mavericks.

During the break, McMillan deployed a lot of defensive tactics against Yiyang. It can be seen from the defensive positions of the Blazers players that from the inside to the outside, McMillan gave Yiyang a "surprise".

The biggest difference between modern basketball and Jordan's era may be reflected in defense. At that time, the league did not allow zone defenses, so stars could get a lot of one-on-one singles opportunities.

But now, before you get the ball, the defense has already set up a net. As long as you break through, the defense you will face will be all-round.

Yiyang naturally saw that the Trail Blazers' defense was somewhat aimed at him. Although he was a rookie, Yiyang's ability to read the game was very good. But Yiyang is not the kind of defender who is obsessed with attacking the frame. The defense is tight, so use fast-paced transmission to tear up this tight defense piece by piece!

Thinking of this, Yiyang began to pass the ball. The entire Mavericks are running, and Carlisle's large and four small lineups make them full of mobility.

After passing the ball, Yiyang's off-the-ball running restricted the defensive attention of most of the Trail Blazers players. Through this gap, Marion distributed the ball to a position behind the free throw line.

Terry just arrived, and after receiving the ball, he flicked a shot and deceived Matthews, who was fully blocked. Shaking Matthews away, Terry's eyes widened. After two moves, this guy took the jump and shot, and the basketball went into the net. McMillan's defensive arrangement ended in failure in the first round!

"Damn it." The frowning black coach shook his head. Everyone on the Mavericks can pass the ball and everyone can cope. They are like a precision instrument, even in the smallest gap, they can't escape the Mavericks players' eyes.

Yiyang didn't make a move, he just created opportunities for his teammates through his own running. McMillan's targeted setting of Yiyang seems to have gone too far.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!..." When Old Miller had just received the baseline ball, he heard the shouts from the stands of the American Airlines Center Arena.

Following the rhythm of the live DJ, the fans regularly yelled the word "defense" repeatedly. Now not only the players on the field, more than 10,000 fans on the scene have also become the enemy of the Trail Blazers!

Don't think that such shouting is completely useless. As long as you are a normal man and you hear your fans shouting like this on the court, your adrenaline will soar immediately.

Old Miller looked up and saw that in front, Yiyang had already opened his arms and waited for him, but the Blazers' tactics had not yet come out. This time, Miller just didn't want to get entangled with Yiyang.

"Boom!" The muffled sound of muscles colliding between muscles announced the official start of another round of cruel duel. Old Miller gritted his teeth. Although the Chinese is not strong, the pressure on people is already very sufficient.

While the old Miller was still adjusting the rhythm of the dribble, Yiyang's long arm suddenly came up. Seeing this situation, Miller hurriedly reacted and pulled the ball down his hips and switched to his right hand. Yiyang was only a few minutes away from stealing the ball!

This experienced guard was shocked in a cold sweat. If he hadn't reacted in time to avoid Yiyang's big hands, maybe the Mavericks are now starting a fast break.

However, before Miller could adjust, Yiyang stepped forward and forced it up. Miller's slow speed is not enough to pose a threat to Yiyang. Therefore, Yiyang can press on defense without worrying about being broken by Miller.

"Is it endless!?" Old Miller knew that he had been spending so much with Yiyang that was no way. Now he must play the ball, even if the Blazers' tactics have not been fully implemented.

Miller's pass flew hastily to Batum's hands, Batum looked around with the ball, Wesley Matthews was slipping out from the corner as tactically arranged.

Seeing that Terry was delayed by Camby's off-the-ball screen, Matthews was about to run to the designated position. The Frenchman pushed with both hands and passed the ball.

Everything seems to be going very well. If this tactic is completed and Matthews's three-pointer can hit again, then the Trail Blazers will be able to stabilize the momentum at once.

At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared between basketball and Matthews. Worse still, that hand seemed to be able to intercept the pass.

Who is this! ?

A yellow-skinned figure suddenly jumped into Batum's field of vision like a high-speed sports car, and the basketball was held firmly by this guy!

"Also--! Responsive steals! The Blazers' intentions are too obvious. The Mavericks' quick counterattack has raised the speed again!"

Old Miller hurriedly turned and chased, but as soon as he crossed the midfield line, when Yiyang fully raised his speed, the distance between him and Miller increased.

No one can catch up with that number 1, and his steals once again disrupted McMillan's plan.

The black coach who has played for the Sonics throughout his career was anxious to put on his jersey and rush up to hug the Chinese, but he couldn't. The only thing McMillan could do was to watch Yiyang sweep across the court like lightning, hit the penalty area, leaped high, and scored with both hands back!

"Yi~~~Yang!" After Yiyang dunked and scored, the live DJ shouted out the name of the scorer.

Another goal, another fast break. The Trail Blazers don’t know how many similar **** have been hit by the Mavericks today, but in front of the number one in that state, the Trail Blazers seem completely helpless.

8 points difference, if the Blazers lose this offense again, then the gap will be officially widened to double digits.

Unfortunately, the Blazers' offense is still not smooth. Old Miller, the first point of their attack, was embarrassed by Yiyang's defense. What's more, the Trail Blazers' flexible oppressive defense makes it very difficult for the Trail Blazers to connect the ball.

The small lineup that was originally a disadvantage is now turned into an advantage by Carlisle. I have to sigh that there is indeed a certain gap between McMillan and Carlisle.

When basketball couldn't be passed to Aldridge, the offensive time left for the Trail Blazers was running out. And Marion and Chandler's double team, but Aldridge did not have a good chance.

Seeing that 24 seconds of offensive time would be exhausted, Aldridge turned over to shoot a jumper. But in the double-team situation, the No. 12 shot missed. Aldridge has made great progress this season, but he is a player with particularly high demands on the offensive environment. If the opportunity is not good, Aldridge's efficiency will also decrease.

Yiyang rushed to grab a rebound before Camby. The No. 1 guard looked at the front court and launched an offense with a long pass!

Terry cursed and ran wildly~www.novelmtl.com~ Every time Yiyang passed this kind of ball to him, he would curse. But the mood of this guy is actually the exact opposite of what he said.

Terry ran profusely, and finally caught it before the basketball went out of bounds. This is an instant three-pointer opportunity. In the run and bomb tactics, this kind of ball shooter should not hesitate to shoot.

But Terry didn't. He attracted the defense, but slammed the ball hard.

The basketball went through Matthews, who came from the defense, and came to the middle. Yiyang, who came from behind, received the basketball with both hands and directly started a three-step layup.

Because the Mavericks are playing extremely fast, there is no way for the Blazers to get there in time.

Seeing that Yiyang was about to succeed, Batum recklessly blocked it from behind.

As a result, Yiyang was knocked out of the bottom line by the strong Frenchman, but the ball that Yiyang picked up to the basket was steadily hitting the backboard!

"Yes! Three-pointers! Also got a chance to make three-pointers!" Barkley raised his arms and shouted.

Yiyang just fell down in front of Mou Ran near the basketball hoop. Mou Ran wanted to reach out and help, but Yiyang didn't stay for a second, so he got up from the ground and walked to the free throw line.

Mou Ran immediately raised the camera and took a picture of the back with a large number one written on it. His name "YI" seems to be phonetic for this number.

The point difference was widened to 10 points, and Yiyang had to take a free throw. Mou Ran shook his head. When Nowitzki was away, Yiyang's potential and strength were fully utilized.

This guy is a real superstar!

The last 30 seconds of the final decision in the last match was just the tip of the iceberg of Yiyang's role. Today, Yiyang can spend a whole game to let McMillan understand. My failure is not accidental!
