One Guard

It is not the first time Westbrook has tried the taste of "Chinese hot pot". During the regular season, Yiyang performed his Wade-style chase on "God ***."

But this time, Yiyang didn't chase from behind, but from the front abruptly defended Westbrook. Westbrook is 1.91 meters tall, which is similar to Yiyang at 1.93 meters. Without occupying any height advantage, Yiyang was stunned to give the league's top five impact guards a blow.

Westbrook can't believe what just happened. There are not many insiders who can cover him from the front in this league, let alone point guards. However, no matter how incredible this incident is in retrospect, it just happened.

Yiyang's blocks and Terry's goal gave the Mavericks a 4-point lead. At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks took out the domineering home team should have. This group of "cowboys" did not intend to give the Thunder this young guard any time to breathe.

Westbrook ran back unwillingly, took the baseline ball, and then pushed in again. As soon as this guy crossed the midfield line, the "hound" of Yiyang seemed to have seen a bone, clinging to Westbrook.

Westbrook intends to use his physical advantage to find opportunities, but no matter how Westbrook pushes, no matter how he collides. After Yiyang was pushed away or knocked away, he would quickly step up to make up for defense.

"Westbrook was entangled by Yi, and he was in trouble. God, how many hands did he have, because in my opinion, a defender of his size can't stop the power with his arms alone. Sbrook's." Kenny Smith has always been aware that Yiyang's defense under Kidd is very good. However, it is beyond Kenny Smith's expectations to defend against an impact guard like Westbrook.

Westbrook suddenly stopped and changed direction, and then put Yiyang with one hand in an attempt to directly break through. In the past, Westbrook has always been able to get a breakthrough by doing so.

But Yiyang quickly shook off Westbrook's arm, and stepped forward to stop Westbrook who had just started. The two bodies collided violently again, and even Westbrook, a guy with a "steel body", felt a dull pain. Knowing that Yiyang, who was slightly thinner, would definitely feel even more uncomfortable at this moment!

But Yiyang didn't take a step back, he just gritted his teeth and continued to pester Westbrook. Even if O'Neal is standing outside the three-point line today, Yiyang will not be afraid.

There was no way, Westbrook had to pass the ball to Durant who came out to catch it. After receiving the ball, Durant dribbled a step and directly hugged the ball to prepare for a three-step layup. The pace of this guy was so big that he threw Marion away and stepped into the three-second zone in a few steps.

In the face of Chandler's defense, Durant did not rely on brute force, but ingenuity. I saw that No. 35 in the blue jersey raised his long arm, gently pressed his wrist, and gently pushed the basketball out.

The orange ball rubbed Chandler's palm and flew towards the basket, finally hollowing into the net. The Thunder finally broke the scoring shortage and scored the first goal of the game.

But Westbrook, who completed the assist, couldn't be happy, because this round, he was completely restricted by Yiyang!

Before the game started, Westbrook did not expect Yiyang to be so difficult. Although Yiyang is the double winner of the Best Sixth Man Award and the Best Rookie Award this season. But Westbrook, the Grizzlies who are known for their defensive skills, has all gone down. He didn't take the Mavericks defense at all. This guy was still thinking about getting a high score today. After all, Yiyang's physical disadvantage is so obvious.

But now...

Before Westbrook could think about it, Yiyang had already reached his eyes. This Oklahoma City's No. 0 guard gritted his teeth and made my offense unsuccessful. You can't even want to score easily!

As a result, the scene the fans were eager to see happened. I saw Westbrook tried hard to post up, not even giving space for the ball easily. The two people's physical contact is getting more frequent and their movements are getting bigger and bigger. This pair of matchups that were fired up before the game really hit the bar!

But Westbrook overlooked one point, Yiyang did not stick to the ball like himself. This kind of oppressive defense sometimes does not have much impact on Yiyang.

Nowitzki came up with a pick-and-roll, and Yiyang skilfully walked around the German. Westbrook's ability to guard against pick-and-rolls is actually not good. He forced a squeeze with Nowitzki, which actually delayed the fighter.

It was impossible for Ibaka to watch Yiyang break through so easily. There was no alternative. The Congolese had to change defenses. The moment they were in front of Yiyang, they became an African mountain.

Seeing that Ibaka was taken away by Yiyang, Nowitzki after the pick-and-roll cut to the basket. Yiyang used a pass from behind and sent the ball to Nowitzki who cut from his side.

Ibaka immediately moved a step further and returned to the center, intending to stop Dirk. But Nowitzki is not the kind of long man who can only hit the rim. He suddenly throws the basketball high and throws the basketball to the rim. At the same time, Ibaka, who hastily supplemented the defense, also slapped No. Witsky's hand.

Nowitzki's soft touch allowed him to make a successful throw, and the moment the basketball fell into the net, the referee blew his whistle. Ibaka's defensive foul, Nowitzki hit two points effective, but also penalty!

Seeing this result, Nowitzki waved his arm vigorously. People say that the German is a "soft bastard", but now, the tough Ibaka has nothing to do with him!

"Good spread, kid!" Apart from excitement, Nowitzki did not forget to give a high-five with Yiyang to show his gratitude. This scene seemed so dazzling to Westbrook. His defense failed again!

Dirk stood on the free throw line, and the US Airline Center Arena, which had just returned to shake, instantly cooled down. Tens of thousands of fans on the scene did not dare to speak out, for fear of disturbing Nowitzki's free throw rhythm.

The blond Nowitzki took a deep breath and patted the basketball. The Western Conference Championship must be won this year!

Nowitzki bends his knees slightly, then lifts his weight, lifts the basketball, and shoots with his wrist.

The basketball fell into the frame hollow, not even touching the net. A perfect free throw allowed the Mavericks to continue to lead. And the quiet environment just now was overwhelmed by the voices of the Mavericks fans.

"Conduct the ball, do a good job of conducting the ball!" Brooks was directing the game from the sidelines, and Westbrook knew that the coach was speaking to himself. Obviously, Brooks did not want Westbrook to continue to entangle with Yiyang.

Westbrook looked at Yiyang with his arms outstretched in front of him, even though he still longed for a direct confrontation with Yiyang in his heart. However, under the supervision of the coach, the No. 0 guard still passed the ball.

This time the ball was passed to the "Swiss Army Knife" Sefrosa, who, like Stevenson of the Mavericks, is a typical defensive wing. Therefore, Terry didn't have to press too hard, but let the Swiss take a few steps to prevent the opponent from breaking through.

Sefrossa was about to pass the ball to Durant, but found Marion following behind him like a shadow. He looked at Westbrook again, and Yiyang accompanies the No. 0 guard like a ghost.

Westbrook used several anti-runs, and even pushed Yiyang secretly. But no matter what he did, Yiyang would never leave, and would not swear by biting himself.

No way, Sefrossa had to hang the ball inside, letting Ibaka go in and try.

Backing up Nowitzki in singles, Ibaka feels that he is still very confident. After all, Nowitzki is notoriously "soft" on the defensive end. As long as he can advance to the middle of the three-second zone, Ibaka can confidently shoot.

As a result, the strong Congolese began to lean on Nowitzki to advance to the basket. First time! Ibaka was so strong that Nowitzki couldn't stand it at all and took a big step back.

In the second time, Ibaka deliberately reduced some strength to confuse Nowitzki's defense. Hardness is not the most effective way to play back-up singles. Fiction is the most effective way to confuse the defensive side. Don't look at Ibaka's physical fitness, but this guy's basketball IQ is not low.

In the third time, Ibaka tried his best to move one back! Nowitzki's defense completely collapsed. Seeing this situation, Ibaka held the ball frame in place, ready to shoot!

Just as the Congolese turned around and was about to take a shot, a downward force cut away the basketball in Ibaka's hands. In the air, Ibaka caught a glimpse of No. 1 behind the Mavericks jersey. That guy, when did you double-team over! ?

Not to mention Ibaka, even Nowitzki doesn't know when Yiyang caught it! That brat's ability to read defense has exceeded everyone's imagination! The perfect combination of speed and mind allowed Yiyang to easily **** the basketball from Ibaka without warning!

What happens after the steal? Of course it is at full speed! Durant wanted to intercept Yiyang near the midfield line. However, Yiyang changed hands from the back with almost no deceleration or pause while moving at high speed, and then flashed past Durant.

But after passing through Durant, the Swiss Sefrosa was leaning towards Yiyang from the side. At the same time, Westbrook has rushed to the basket and is ready to block the layup. It seems that Yiyang's fast break is destined to fail.

However, Yiyang did not stop his footsteps. His right hand slammed the ball to the left, and then he sank his shoulders, seemingly intending to break through to the left! Sefrosa, who is known for his defense, naturally wouldn't be passed so easily. He hurriedly moved a step and tried to seal Yiyang's breakthrough route. The Mavericks' fast break ended here!

However, Yiyang is not as simple as Sefrosa thought. Just as the basketball rebounded from the floor, Yiyang's right hand stretched to the left of the basketball, and then pulled the ball to the right! When the change of direction was completed, Yiyang lowered his center of gravity, kicked his feet on the ground, and pressed his legs!

"Whoo!" Sefrossa's long hair fluttered gently, and the Swiss's eyes widened. With only one hand, Yiyang completed a quick change of direction in front of her body! Two quick and consistent changes in the center of gravity left the Swiss at a loss! He shook his head, and when Sefolosha reacted and turned around again, Yiyang had already reached the three-second zone.

At the moment, there is only one Westbrook guarding the basket. The No. 0 defender is also struggling, planning to return the cover completed from the front to Yiyang intact this round. In the case of superior physical fitness, Westbrook is full of confidence in this!

Yiyang is also unambiguous, leaping high against Westbrook's defense. In the air, Yiyang also stretched out his body, seemingly intending to stage a good show of dunks!

"Come on, rookie!" Westbrook does his part, his bounce height and speed are even slightly better than Yiyang.

The two rivals collided again in the air, Westbrook stretched out his arm and the basketball was close at hand!

Just as Westbrook's arm was accumulating energy to go towards the basketball fan, Yiyang, who raised the basketball high, suddenly received it from his waist. Then he took the ball and moved his arm to his back, and stuffed the ball into Nowitzki's hand from behind.

The pass was very comfortable and it was just right. Nowitzki doesn't need to make any adjustments after receiving the basketball, and the direct jump is a two-hand dunk!

"Oh my God, this pass is very imaginative! The most important thing is that there is no error, but an assist!" Kenny Smith was completely stunned, from top to bottom, from front to back. Yiyang's pass under physical confrontation is very complicated, but the accuracy has not diminished at all.

Nowitzki let go ~www.novelmtl.com~ The basketball hoop was finally able to "straighten" his waist. After that, this "lion" with long golden hair roared toward the stands behind the basket!

Nowitzki is a dangerous lion on the African savannah. His roar makes everyone shudder. Now, do you dare to say that he is a "soft bastard"?

After his emotions were vented, Nowitzki began to run back, preparing to retreat. In the process of retreating, Nowitzki raised his hand again and gave Yiyang a high-five. These two guys brought huge trouble to the Thunder today.

The 2 to 7, 5 points difference is not that big in a basketball game. But the rhythm of the entire game was firmly held in the palm of the hand by the Mavericks.

That No. 41 big white man and No. 1 yellow-skinned guard walked side by side, and seemed to form a wall that the Thunder could not overcome.

Before the game, people said that the twin stars formed by Westbrook and Durant are so amazing. But look now, who is suppressing whom?

A duo that is most underestimated by people, may break the shackles today!
