One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 196: : The twin stars of the Sleeping Train Arena

Before the game started, Cousins’ performance had filled every corner of the Sleeping Train Arena with the smell of gunpowder.

When Mike Brin and Jeff Van Gundy took their seats, there were almost no seats in the stands. The shouts of the fans have already pushed the atmosphere of the scene to the first climax.

"DeMarcus Cousins' performance in the recent period is very amazing. He came from behind and squeezed Wall out to rank third on the rookie ranking! And if DeMarcus continues to fight like this, Griffin He Yiyang's ranking is also in jeopardy!" Mike Brin looked at the data of Cousins' recent games, and those exaggerated double-doubles made Cousins ​​look like a super center at all.

"This kid is a model representative of modern centers. When I was still coaching, you couldn't have a big player take care of long-range shooting, inside dominance, defense and ball possession at the same time. But DeMarcus, He did it. This guy runs like a defender, but his deterrence on the inside is amazing!" Van Gundy looked at Cousins ​​on the field with his eyes shining, the world has changed, the kind people imagined at the beginning Players have become a reality.

"The Rookie of the Year's decision is really fierce, Jeff, so far, Yiyang, Griffin, Cousins, Wall, Greg Monroe and Paul George have all performed well, and they all have The hope of winning this award. This kind of sight may be unique after 2003." Mike Brin also used this game to throw out the most important topic of today. Who is the best rookie? This discussion will undoubtedly make fans look forward to the duel between Yiyang and Cousins.

"If I want to predict, I still think I can win the Best Rookie Award. Although most rookies have occasional explosive performances, he is undoubtedly the most consistent performance among all rookies. Dirk was suspended by injury. For a while, I also used his performance to prove that he has the potential to become an outstanding leader. Anyway, I will definitely vote for it." Van Gundy did not hide his love for Yiyang. This guy is not for China. Players have unique feelings. What he said are all very impressive facts.

Not long after the two ESPN commentators talked, both players have already stepped onto the court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please continue to lock in ESPN! The exciting game, start now!"

※※※

Tyson Chandler looked at the round-headed young man in front of him, feeling a little nervous. This guy has performed very well recently, and he also posted on the Internet that he would kill the Mavericks. Although the "Boxing King" will not fear any opponent, but no one is willing to lose to a rookie.

At this moment, Cousins' eyes fixed on Chandler. No one looked away from the two opponents with fierce expressions. These two elders are tough guys.

After the referee confirmed that both players were ready, they threw the basketball high into the air. Chandler took off immediately, hoping to show the opponent some color during the jump ball stage.

However, Cousins, who was 5 centimeters shorter than Chandler, surpassed the fingertips of the "Boxer" and successfully dialed out the basketball!

Cousins ​​glanced at Chandler who was a little dazed, ran quickly past him lightly, and sent a word to the dazed "Boxer" the moment he brushed his body. "I am still a little taller than you!"

"Smelly boy!" Tyson is not a good-tempered predecessor. When Cousins ​​was so provoked, this guy immediately blew his head.

The Kings attacked, and after a period of transmission, Slovenian defender Benno Udri took a three-pointer from the left corner.

But Kidd's timely blockade obviously exceeded Udri's expectations. Chandler clearly saw that the moment the Slovenian took the shot, the basketball was already crooked!

He was immediately ready to get stuck in the position to protect the rebounds, but the annoying big rookie was effectively entangled with the "boxing champion" and did not let Chandler get his wish to block himself outside the penalty area.

The basketball hit the left side of the rim, and it failed to hit. Chandler and Cousins ​​took off almost at the same time. However, just like in the faceoff, Cousins ​​caught the basketball one step ahead of Chandler!

Chandler was still thinking about how to defend Cousins' second offense after landing, but before landing, Cousins ​​threw the ball directly into the box in the air.

The basketball changed its flight trajectory under Cousins' big hands, flew back to the basket, and fell into the net.

"DeMarcus! As soon as the game started, he scored two points for the Kings with a tough tipping! Alas, Jeff, have you seen anyone who made a tipping under Chandler's protection this season? Anyway? , I did not have this impression!" Mike Brin was very much looking forward to Cousins' performance, and Cousins ​​was impressed by this famous commentator as soon as he came on the court.

Carlisle didn't blame Chandler, but shook his head helplessly. Cousins ​​was already full of vitality, but Chandler and others are now very tired. This academy coach is already mentally prepared, because he knows that the situation just now may happen more than once today.

In the subsequent attack, Kidd hit the ball to Nowitzki. This is Carlisle's usual tactic. Most of the time, the Mavericks' first offense will hit Nowitzki.

The German's opponent is the 2008 second-place pick Jason Thompson, who is also a big man whose offense is better than defensively.

Dirk used Stan with his back to attack the opponent's defense, then suddenly turned over and shot a jumper!

Carlisle clearly saw that Thompson's blockade was half a beat slower. For guys like Nowitzki, the defense is half a beat slow, which is enough to use.

Just when the players on the Mavericks bench were ready to celebrate the goal, the one that Nowitzki shot out slipped out after three turns in the basket!

"Dirk missed his first shot. It was not the level a German should have just now!"

Cousins ​​protected the offensive rebound and then a long pass. Only then did people discover that last season’s supernova Tyreke Evans had already crossed the midfield line!

Even Yiyang, who is sitting on the sidelines, has to admit that Cousins's long pass accuracy is indeed very good among big players.

Evans received the basketball without much effort and started to speed up!

At the same time, Stevenson, the Mavericks defensive titan, has pushed to Evans's side. But Evans's "defender James" nickname is not for nothing. Even though Stevenson is already a defensive defender who can use his body to fight, Evans still leans on this guy to move on!

"Stevenson can't force Tyreke to stop, this guy keeps advancing! The penalty area is where he finishes the offense most efficiently!" Van Gundy knew very well that Evans's shot was extremely unstable. The reason why he averaged 20 points per game last season was completely because of his strong layup after a breakthrough. Chinese fans even gave Evans a nickname-Layup Emperor.

Sure enough, this time is no exception. Evans leaned on Stevenson's high hand for the basket, and Stevenson tried his best to reach that basketball, but under the barrier of Evans's powerful arm, the basketball was always the smallest distance from Stevenson.

In the end, when Evans rose to the highest point, he flicked his wrist and gently picked the basketball into the frame. The Kings at the bottom of the Western Conference have led the Mavericks by four points!

"From the connection between DeMarcus and Tyreke! Not surprisingly, this will become the mainstream scoring method for the Kings in the future!" The excellent qualities displayed by these two young people really make people face Sacramento. The future of the king is full of infinite reveries.

Being four points behind is not fatal in a basketball game, and it doesn't even explain any problems. Carlisle was not in a hurry, but was crossing the sidelines with his hips akimbo.

At this time, many on-site photographers had their lenses aimed at Yiyang. However, it is clear that Carlisle, who has always been criticized for his on-the-spot command, will not change players so quickly.

Old Kidd slowly advanced with the ball. Instead of passing the ball immediately, he reached out for Chandler's pick and roll.

Chandler's screen quality is very high, and Yodry, who is not good at physical confrontation, has no chance to get rid of the screen and catch up with Kidd.

As a result, Cousins ​​and Udrih completed the defense. Kidd originally planned to force a rush through speed, but when he rushed up, he found that he couldn't get rid of the center Cousins ​​at all! ..

Although Kidd's severe degradation in speed is one aspect, Cousins's pace that is faster than most older people is also the key reason why he can stop Kidd.

Seeing that he had no chance of scoring, Kidd hit the ball from behind and fed the ball to Peja who was outside the three-point line in a jaw-dropping way.

"A beautiful shot pass from behind, let's take a look, I don't think it's strange that such a teacher can pass any ball!"

Sleeping Train Arena was once the home of Peja, where he won countless games and scored countless three-pointers.

So when he received the basketball, Peja didn't even think about it, and confidently chose to shoot.

However, the Israeli striker Omi Kasbi, who is 2 meters tall, is also a tall and arm-length third position. His timely blocking caused Peja, who was already in a bad hand, to miss today's first goal.

"It seems that his hand feels really bad today." Carlisle's muttering voice burst into Yiyang's ears. Today the Mavericks really had a bad start.

The basketball knocked out, Cousins ​​once again protected the offensive rebound, and did not give the "boxing champion" any chance.

This time, the Mavericks retreated quickly, and naturally did not give Evans any chance of sneak attack.

Udrih slowly took possession of the ball for half the time, and then quickly hit the ball to Evans. At this point, Evans has got an open position through the off-the-ball pick-and-roll, but when he received the basketball, he was not anxious to shoot, but hit the ground to pass inside.

Stevenson immediately stretched his feet to destroy the pass, but the basketball rubbed his toes and moved on.

Evans is a guard who is extremely willing to share the ball. Like Yiyang ~www.novelmtl.com~, he is also regarded by many experts as a model of combo guards. To be precise, Evans can do the job at No. 2 and No. 3!

The goal of this pass is very clear, that is, Cousins ​​who wants to live in the basket! In order to prevent Cousins ​​from attacking for three seconds, Evans also played the ball very quickly.

As soon as he catches the ball, Cousins ​​turns over and hooks! "Boxing champion" Tyson naturally wanted to show Cousins ​​a good look, so he straightened his arms and jumped high.

However, Cousins ​​is not only strong, but also very soft. His hook made the basketball fall into the net with a high arc, and Chandler couldn't touch it at all!

In this way, the Kings led the Mavericks by a whole point, and the Mavericks had nothing to do!

Carlisle signaled to the referee and called the game to stop early. He doesn't want to continue digging holes. In a team like the Kings, he must establish an advantage as soon as he comes out!

The purpose of the academy coach's call for a timeout is also very clear. He is going to play cards.

"Also, go on the court!" Carlisle turned and shouted at the quiet Chinese.
