One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 220: : The role of the starter

phone-reading

Higher, faster, stronger, this is a phrase that almost everyone has heard. It is a famous Olympic motto and one of the slogans of the Olympic movement. But if this sentence is put into the NBA playoffs, Yiyang will definitely not feel any sense of violation.

The intensity of the playoffs has changed so much that it completely surpassed Yiyang's own imagination. This kind of span makes the NBA game completely different. Kidd and Carlisle are not talking about it casually, but must be put into practice.

For example, the rebound just now, during the regular season, Yiyang can take it into his arms with just a light leap. But in the playoffs, unless you fight hard, otherwise basketball won't fly into your hands by itself.

Although Yiyang did not perform well in two consecutive rounds, he still wanted to thank Aldridge and Gerald Wallace. At least these two guys made Yiyang quickly realize how the playoffs went back. thing.

To do your best is to really do your best. Even if it's just a rebound, you must do your best to compete.

So when Yiyang took possession of the ball for the second time, his mentality was completely different. He began to slowly adapt to the playoff style, and then continued to shine in this style.

This time, Yiyang did not choose to break by himself, but passed the ball to Marion at the bottom corner.

Marion ran to the top of the arc with the ball, while Yiyang ran across the crowd to the bottom corner.

Today, Miller's defense against Yiyang can be described as inseparable. A guy like Miller is definitely a typical "playoff player." In the regular season, this kind of old guy may be a full stroke, and occasionally burst out to show that he can still play.

But in the playoffs, the seasoned veteran becomes completely different. They know that the 82 regular season games may not be able to finish every game. But in the decisive playoffs, they must fight every game.

Therefore, even though it was very difficult, Old Miller still followed Yiyang at any cost.

Seeing that there was no chance to pass the ball, Marion had to pass the ball to Nowitzki, who had mentioned the high position. After that, Nowitzki and Yiyang played a hand to hand, allowing Yiyang to regain control of the ball.

Yiyang and Dirk played very mature hand-to-hands, and Nowitzki handed the ball to Yiyang and even took advantage of the situation. Miller's defense that he could not keep up was greatly delayed.

After throwing off the old Miller, Aldridge immediately changed defense and crossed in front of Yiyang. During the regular season, Yiyang had several heads-ups with Aldridge, and Yiyang had more victories. But in the playoffs, Aldridge didn't want to let this rookie guard pass easily.

Yiyang sinks, accelerates, and breaks through. Aldridge uses his body to hold on to prevent Yiyang from rushing. It seems that Yiyang's breakthrough is difficult, but in fact, Yiyang's real purpose is not to attack the frame, but to attract defense.

Just as the Trail Blazers' defense contracted slightly, Yiyang, who was originally staring at the basket, suddenly threw the basketball behind him. People will no longer be surprised to see Yiyang play without watching people pass the ball. If there are few Yiyang in a game without watching people pass, it would be surprising.

Although the ball did not look at people, it was passed very accurately. The height was just right, which not only ensured that Miller could not get the ball, but also that Nowitzki could receive it comfortably.

In this way, a classic tactic of the Mavericks gave Nowitzki a nearly empty chance. Although the old Miller was in front of Nowitzki, he was only 1.88 meters tall and it was impossible for him to cause any interference to Dirk.

All the Mavericks fans stood up with their arms high, the blue ocean in the stands seemed to be rolling. Nowitzki took the shot calmly, Old Miller only dared to raise his arms and didn't dare to move forward at all. He knew that nowitzki would definitely take the initiative to find a foul to get him to the free-throw line.

It's such a seemingly perfect opportunity, it's such a goal that seems to be scored. But in the end, the basketball came into close contact with the basket, and did not fall into the net!

"Yi's pass is very beautiful, but Dirk didn't seize the opportunity! The Trail Blazers protected the rebound. It seems that the Mavericks didn't find the feeling of the game at the beginning!"

"Damn it, how come!?" Nowitzki waved his hand unwillingly, and quickly returned to defense. Obviously, there is no problem with the hand feeling during training these days, how come everything changed after the game.

There is not much time left for Nowitzki to think, because the Blazers' counterattack was pushed quickly. As soon as Old Miller crossed the midfield line, he made a diagonal pass and sent the ball to Gerald Wallace, who was advancing at the same speed.

Wallace crossed to the basketball on the left three-point line. He didn't stop, but he looked around while running to the basket. Leon was three or four steps away from him, it was impossible to catch him. So "Elvis" made up his mind to attack the frame by himself!

In the spring of 1999, Brick Odinger, who had been an analyst for 23 years, heard that there was a guy named Gerald Wallace in Alabama, and said that he had no impression of him.

In the summer, he went to the Adidas training camp and got excited as if Bole saw Maxima, and moved out his high-level vocabulary that was piled up with dust and used to analyze young Jordan. "Able to fly on the field, can shoot three points, every round seems to run like apocalypse. For nearly two decades, no high school student has given me a similar feeling."

So? "He is one of the greatest potential stocks in the history of high school students!"

And "He is the best combination of athletic ability and physique!" The label was put on the young Wallace.

Indeed, the former Gerald Wallace does give people this feeling. His explosive athletic ability allows him to usually end the offense with extremely fast running and shocking dunks in the counterattack.

However, after being "smashed your lungs" by Bynum in 2009, Wallace's athletic ability began to decline year by year.

The current Wallace is not fast, and the dunk is not as shocking as before. But he still believed that the old fellow Marion couldn't catch up with him.

So this guy who was looking for a new starting point in the Trail Blazers took two dribbles and took two steps directly, intending to dunk the Dallas people a little bit of color!

This time, Wallace jumped high, as if returning to his peak period. In the air, the black forward tried his best to stretch out his body, hoping to experience the feeling of ravaging the basket.

Soar into the air, glide, exert strength! Gerald Wallace's arm jerked, and Vignalie in the stands was ready to accept the visual impact.

Just as Gerald Wallace was about to dunk the ball into the hoop, a dark figure suddenly struck from the side and fiercely fanned Wallace's basketball to the stands.

"Hey!" The hoop still made a loud noise, but the basketball was not dunked into the hoop. The fans in the stands raised their arms and cheered. This shocking hat is really wonderful!

"It's impossible!?" Gerald Wallace couldn't believe that Marion could catch up with him. Although his athletic ability was not as good as before, Marion, who was in his 30s, couldn't run so fast.

When Wallace turned his head, he realized that he was wrong. It was not Marion who sealed himself, but Yiyang, who did not know where he was killed!

"Also! Big volleyball hat! God, he flew the basketball fan directly to the stands! So fast, so fast! Did you see Charles, this guy is like a bolt of lightning running through the audience, very fast The speed rushed to Gerald Wallace! This is not the first time that a slam dunk has been blocked, but believe me, this is definitely the most exciting one!" Kenny Smith did not expect the game to start not long. The first climax came. Although the Mavericks had not succeeded in their offense in the previous two rounds, this block was a reminder to everyone in the Trail Blazers. The Dallas Mavericks, ranked third in the West, are by no means a soft persimmon!

Nowitzki rushed up excitedly and slammed Yiyang, but Yiyang did not respond, but his face was fierce. It seems that this successful seal also fully stimulated his own adrenaline.

After that, the Trail Blazers sent a sideline ball. But Yiyang's blocking has aroused the emotions of his teammates. Under the defensive efforts of the Mavericks, the Blazers' offense still ended in failure.

As a result, the Mavericks got their third chance to attack. The Mavericks missed the first two offenses. But now that the morale of the team is booming, all Mavericks players hope to break the scoring shortage.

Yiyang still planned to organize an offense, but didn't want to score himself. As a starter, he needs to drive the offensive feeling of the team first.

After Yiyang's organization and the transmission of his teammates, basketball was finally hit by Dirk. Nowitzki vs. Aldridge, this is the focus of this series. In the first few rounds, both forwards failed to score on each other's heads. This time, Nowitzki is very likely to take the lead.

When advancing to near the three-second zone, Nowitzki used his best Golden Rooster independent retreat jumper. However, after three or four turns of the basketball inside the hoop, it still came out!

"No, Dirk's luck is really bad. It was supposed to be a goal, but it slipped out dramatically. It seems that the defensive intensity of the playoffs is indeed very strong. So far, the two sides have added up. Just scored a goal." Barkley shook his head disappointedly, but that was the case in the playoffs.

The scoring in each game of the playoffs is generally lower than that of the regular season, which is the result of tight defense.

Nowitzki missed again, but Aldridge failed to keep up with Dirk. This time, with the help of Marcus Camby's off-the-ball pick and roll, Aldridge went to the mid-range position to receive the pass and made an open shot.

Aldridge's shots from this distance are pretty good. Basketball hits hollow, 4 to 0!

"It seems that the Trail Blazers have gradually found a way to score, and the Mavericks have still not scored a goal so far. As I said earlier, the Mavericks will always have various problems in the playoffs!" Barkley Sharp criticism began again. In his view, this is simply the Mavericks' normal performance in the playoffs.

Seeing Nowitzki's consecutive misses, Carlisle was also a bit distressed. Yiyang feeds Dirk the ball according to his tactics, and Carlisle always likes to feed Dirk's touch first when he starts the game. But judging from the current situation, if you continue to feed, it may be quite dangerous.

So Carlisle made a gesture to Yiyang from the sidelines, Yiyang glanced at it, and then continued to hold the ball. The meaning of that gesture is to ask Yiyang to score by himself!

Yiyang passed the ball to Stevenson this time, and at the same time, Marion slipped the bottom line and cut in. Stevenson found Marion in the crowd, passed the ball through, and when Marion rushed to the basket, he happened to receive the ball!

"It's a risky move! Whether it's Marion or Stevenson's timing, it's very likely that a mistake will occur!"

In the cold sweat of the fans, Marion received the basketball at the basket! But the former All-Star forward did not directly attack the basket, but threw the ball to the left corner in the crowd!

Yiyang rushed to catch the ball and shoot! The old Miller who had contracted towards Marion hurriedly rushed out, but Yiyang had already finished his shot.

The marshal Stevens in the stands brightened his eyes, and once again saw Yiyang shoot a three-pointer on the spot. He found that the guy's shooting was more standard and his shot speed was much faster. It seems that Yiyang has learned a lot from his group of NBA teammates~www.novelmtl.com~.

The basketball went over the head of Old Miller to the hoop, but he was not flustered, because Yiyang was notoriously inaccurate. In most people's hearts, Yiyang's three-pointer may be better than Rajon Rong.

However, this is not the case. At the beginning of the season, Yiyang's three-pointers were indeed not ideal. But after the game entered into February, Yiyang's three-pointers have begun to become more accurate. The addition of Peja made Yiyang's progress in three-pointers by leaps and bounds. It's just that many people habitually ignore all this.

"Swipe!" The Nets finally had white waves, and the Mavericks scored!

"YI~~~~Three~~~~~" the live DJ shouted loudly, and then the fans in the stands gave Yiyang the warmest applause.

When Nowitzki felt bad, Yiyang, a rookie, was able to lead the team out of the predicament as a scoring point. And this is also an important reason why Carlisle made Yiyang a starter.

Now, every team has several points and even several stars playing together. If you continue to start with Kidd, the Mavericks' scoring points will become too monotonous. Marion has passed the peak, Stevenson and Chandler are more offensive than defensive, as for Kidd, now he is no longer a scorer.

But the emergence of Yiyang changed this situation. The Mavericks can have more offensive options, and most importantly, this change has an immediate effect.

"Next you continue to attack!" Carlisle yelled into the court when Yiyang ran to retreat. Since Yiyang feels good now, let him continue to burn!

Nate McMillan looked at Yiyang who quickly retreated and opened his arms, and smiled helplessly. That guy Cuban is so lucky that he found a treasure.
