One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 199: : Time Bomb (Part 1)

Carl Landry took an active position in the paint, and Cardinal was unable to compete with the Rockets veteran in terms of strength.

In order to prevent Landry from continuing to press, Cardinal also used a desperate defensive approach. But Landry wouldn't be restricted in this way, he suddenly gave up his position and ran to the middle distance position.

As soon as he was in place, the Kings backup guard Luke Hyde sent the basketball. Landry takes the ball and shoots. This power forward's high shooting percentage at mid-range has always been one of his killers.

The basketball fell into the hoop while rubbing the net, and at the same time, the red light on the backboard suddenly lit up. At the end of the first quarter, Landry threw a buzzer. The entire Sleeping Train arena is surrounded by the shouts of fans, and the hustle and bustle here does not match the word "sleeping" at all.

The score on the big screen on the scene is for the Sacramento people to cheer, 20 to 28. The Kings, which have only won 2 games so far this season, are 8 points ahead of the Mavericks who have just finished 9 consecutive victories! Not only the score, from the scene, the Kings do have an advantage.

Although Yiyang's efforts gave the Mavericks the hope of reversing the score, when he was off the court, the Mavericks suddenly didn't even have the strength to fight back.

Carlisle frowned and raised a small bench to sit in front of the players. Seeing these sweaty and panting brawny men, Carlisle also had a very headache. ..

"The Kings' style of play is very fierce. Cousins ​​and Evans are both players who like to look for physical confrontations. It seems that the Mavericks are a little overwhelming." In the commentary, Van Gundy also felt that the score was a bit weird.

"The Mavericks' age structure is still a bit older. I think coach Carlisle should increase his playing time appropriately. Only when he is on the court, the Mavericks offense will not be a mess." Mike Brin also gave out. Own opinion.

Carlisle on the court naturally couldn't hear the voices of two senior commentators, but as a head coach, Carlisle also knew what he should do now.

"Also, I will let you play a little longer in the second quarter, can you?" Carlisle looked around, Yiyang is the most relaxed look among all the players currently on the field. This guy is still young, and the physical problem shouldn't be too big.

"Yeah, yes." Yiyang replied simply, and then nodded gently.

"Very good! I need you to make more use of the breakthrough to create Cousins' fouls and limit his hands and feet with the fouls, just like you did in the first quarter. If he moves too much, you must tell the referee, Don’t be bored in your heart, okay?” Carlisle put all his focus on Yiyang. He knew that if the Mavericks wanted to live out of Sacramento today, Yiyang would be the most important part!

On the other side, on the bench for the Kings, Cousins ​​is already gearing up to play and continue to kill the Quartet. After the first quarter of the match, Cousins ​​is now also confident. If it is a fully open "boxing champion" guarding the inside, maybe Cousins ​​will not be so easy. But unfortunately, Chandler's physical stamina also dragged him down today, giving Cousins ​​a chance.

In this way, under the screams of the Kings fans and Carlisle's uneasy mood, the electronic buzzer sounded again. The Mavericks will start their journey in the second quarter with an eight-point disadvantage.

Kidd, out of breath, did not play in the second quarter, and Yiyang returned to the number one position. Carlisle also hoped that this would allow Yiyang to avoid Evans' strong defense.

However, after Yiyang, who was advancing with the ball, stepped through the half-court, Evans, who performed well in the first quarter, still opened his arms horizontally in front of the number one guard!

"Coach Westphal continues to use Evans to defend. It seems that he wants to completely suppress the most efficient point of the Mavericks today!"

Yiyang shook his head. It was not a wise plan to hold the ball and fight Evans. He immediately played the ball, making Terry the ball-holding point, and he began to seek opportunities by running without the ball.

"Coward!" Cousins ​​smiled disdainfully, that number one guard is a **** at all!

Cousins ​​looked down on Yiyang, but Evans, who defended Yiyang, did not dare to slack off. Yiyang's offense with the ball is as good as offense without the ball. As long as he is not careful, he will be completely thrown away by the lightning-fast number one.

Yiyang originally leaned into the penalty area at an angle, but when he stepped into the penalty area, he suddenly turned around and went outside the left three-point line.

Evans hurriedly followed, but Nowitzki's screen blocked the way for the rookie of last season. Evans changed his footsteps flexibly and flashed past the German. But as soon as it came out, he discovered that Peja had also set up a pick-and-roll behind Nowitzki!

Two consecutive screens allowed Evans to be completely thrown away by Yiyang. Yiyang received a pass from Terry as soon as he reached the three-point line. The No. 1 guard did not hesitate, he didn't want to let go of this fleeting opportunity.

Yiyang leaped high and raised the basketball above his head. At the same time, Evans, who was chasing Yiyang, and Cassby, who was closest to Yiyang, both rushed forward. This is Westphal's arrangement, and all defenses have been focused on "care".

The blocking of the two makes Yiyang seem to have no room to shoot the ball. Even if he succeeds in shooting the ball, it is a forced shot and it is impossible to make a shot. Westphal was overjoyed. The Mavericks' first offense in the second quarter seemed to have ended in failure.

Just when Cousins ​​was ready to protect the defensive rebound, the orange basketball came out of the straight arms of Cassby and Evans.

The basketball was unbiased and fell into the hands of Peja, who was emptied at the mid-range position. As Cassby assisted in defending against the sun, the Croats were missed out. Everyone in the Kings thought Yiyang would shoot by himself, so he didn't care about Peja.

In this way, Stojakovic shot from an open mid-range shot. Indeed, the state of Yiyang's teammates is indeed not good today. But this kind of extremely simple opportunity can still be seized by them.

When the tumbling voice of the Nets rushed into Westphal's ears, the experienced old coach couldn't help but cursed a **** in a low voice. Yiyang's ability really wasn't so easy that it could be completely choked to death.

"Calm pass, this guy always seems to be able to see all the gaps on the court." Mike Brin just thought that Yiyang would shoot by himself, but the ending was unexpected.

"This is the quality of a good point guard, and this is why I am optimistic about this kid!" Jeff Van Gundy once again showed his approving smile.

After the offensive and defensive transition, after being scored, the Kings naturally hope to maintain their advantages. This group of players have only won a mere two games this season, so they will not easily give in to every possible victory. After all, victory is really rare for the Sleeping Train Arena.

Cousins, who ended early in the first quarter of the game, was very excited. He didn't give any teammates a screen. Instead, he wrestled with Chandler near the three-second zone and rushed to Udrih for the ball.

Udri didn't dare to slack off, Cousins ​​is one of the most sure offensive points on the Kings court. As a point guard, he has the responsibility to deliver the ball to Cousins.

So the white guard hit the ground with a pass and hit the ball to his own center. And after only one pass, the Kings' cooperation is over. Next, it's time for Cousins ​​to play his own singles.

Cousins ​​is indeed very strong, but the Kings' tactics are too simple. Carlisle had already targeted this point.

Cousins ​​advanced two steps and was about to turn around to attack the frame, only to find that Chandler and Nowitzki raised their long arms and pressed tightly against him. Nowitzki's right double-teaming time put Cousins ​​into a hard fight, and now this long rookie not to mention scoring goals, even passing the ball is very difficult.

In a hurry, Cousins ​​hurried the ball. The object of the pass was Evans, who went to the left.

Evans was ready to receive the ball. Before receiving the ball, he even saw the empty breakthrough route behind Peja.

Just as Evans was thinking about how to break through and score points, a black shadow suddenly jumped out.

"Stop him!" The next second, Evans heard Westphal's shout.

"Swish!" After that, a gust of wind passed. When the black shadow disappeared, the basketball that had been close at hand disappeared.

Evans didn't even think about it, and immediately turned to chase after him! Sure enough, it is Yiyang!

"The Kings' tactics are too simple and the purpose is too obvious. Yi's prediction is very accurate. He intercepted Cousins' return pass!"

The camera moved quickly following Yiyang, and when this guy ran away on the basketball court, he was not shocked.

Evans tried to chase after him, but no matter how hard he worked, there was always a seemingly inaccessible distance from Yiyang.

Yiyang did not live up to people's expectations of him. This time, Yiyang dunked with a powerful back and hands, once again raging the basket of the Sleeping Train Arena!

"This guy really deserves to participate in the dunk contest!"

"Yellows can also fly!"

"He is simply the second Allen Iverson!"

"It's incredible! It's incredible! Super dunk! From Yiyang——!"

?? "This is Yiyang! A great dunk! He also showed us his amazing courage! If he leads the Mavericks to equalize, I won't be surprised at all!"

The narrators' eyes were once again attracted by Yiyang. The protagonist, wherever he plays, is the protagonist!

After Yiyang dunked successfully, he looked at the big screen at the scene. There are still four points left, so I can't let it go!

If Cousins ​​completes such a beautiful dunk, he will surely scream up to the sky and mobilize the atmosphere of the scene. But Yiyang didn't, he didn't even have an expression. This guy just ran back silently, and then opened his long arms.

He is not good at words, nor can he make too intense moves. At this moment, his only idea is to equalize the **** score!

"Pass a few more handballs! Don't give the opponent such an easy chance to counterattack!" Westphal's roar appeared on the court, with only four points left, this guy was a little nervous.

Evans listened to the head coach's arrangement, but Cousins ​​is not necessarily. This guy has Yiyang in his mind now, and he doesn't want to remain unmoved after the opponent has scored such a wonderful goal.

So the scene just happened again, Cousins ​​ignored any tactics and didn't give his teammates any **** cover. He just stood on the edge of the three-second zone, wrestling with Chandler, and then raised his hand for the ball!

Udri looked at Evans and then at Cousins. In the end, the ball was passed to the more stable hands of Evans.

"Ball!" Cousins ​​roared, and Evans used his height to steadily drop the ball into the penalty area.

"The Kings' ball was still sent to Cousins. Let's see how he will deal with the Mavericks' defense this time!"

Cousins ​​knew that there was a double-team waiting for him in the three-second zone, so he shook his shoulders and turned over to shoot a jumper, intending to score in this simple way.

However, even if "Boxing King" Tyson is affected by physical fitness, he is not so easy to defeat. What's more, Chandler still has an advantage in height.

Cousins' turn-over jumper knocked out under the interference of Chandler, and Nowitzki, who was dragged behind, protected the defensive rebound.

"Tsk." Westphal curled his lips, sometimes Cousins ​​is a powerful weapon. But sometimes, this weapon may hurt the Kings themselves.

Fortunately, the Kings retreated very quickly this time, and they did not allow Yiyang to fight back.

Evans' defense still made Yiyang very difficult. This time he did not pass the ball, but borrowed Chandler's pick and roll to complete the breakthrough.

Cousins ​​did not follow Chandler out, but continued to guard at the basket. Seeing Yiyang rushing with the ball, this guy seemed to have fire in his eyes.

Yiyang didn't stop the jumper, but directly rushed to Cousins. Yiyang naturally knows that it is difficult for him to successfully attack the frame under Cousins' defense, but he also knows that ~www.novelmtl.com~ this grumpy guy will not let himself down.

Yiyang had just jumped up, and Cousins ​​couldn't wait to jump up. In the air, Yiyang dexterously avoided Cousins' big hand. And Cousins, who was out of control, also slammed into Yiyang!

"Beep beep!" The whistle sounded again!

"Foul!" Yiyang yelled, rarely seen, it seems that Carlisle's arrangement is firmly in his heart.

"Hat!?" Cousins ​​also yelled at the referee. "Are you blind!?"

The referee ignored the two young men, but made a gesture to the technical stage.

After seeing this gesture, Cousins ​​went straight away. Westphal hugged his head with both hands.

DeMarcus Cousins, technical foul!

Yiyang smiled slightly, violent temper, not to make everyone afraid of you, but to hurt yourself...
