One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 293: : Three is less than one?

   Kidd is standing on the free throw line, the veteran has long been numb to his fans. Although Kidd's offensive ability, who is nearly 40 years old, has greatly shrunk, but in terms of free throws, Kidd is still very stable.

   made two free throws without any accidents. After the coaches of the two teams made adjustments, the Thunder still failed to score, and the Mavericks managed to overtake the score.

   Brooks off the court has been staring at Yiyang. The yellow-skinned Chinese made no effort to guard against Westbrook two days ago. Is he going to prevent Harden from misfire?

   No matter how bad the result just now, the Thunder must stabilize the situation and continue to attack. Now what the Thunder needs to do is not defense, but offense! If it has been unable to score, the Thunder's defensive efforts will only be wasted.

   After two free throws, the Thunder regained control of the offense. Westbrook wants to force Kidd, after all, the speed of this old guy is definitely not on par with himself. However, when Westbrook leaned forward with the ball, he found that Kidd was not like Yiyang, and he could easily open it.

   Although the speed is not fast, although he is too old, Kidd's core strength is very good, able to withstand the impact of defenders on the defensive end. Seeing this scene, Carlisle off the court couldn't help but smile.

  Don't say it's a guard. In the Mavericks' confrontational training, Kidd didn't lose the wind when he defended Marion at the third position.

   Westbrook looked at the veteran in front of him with some surprise, is he really an old guy who is almost 40 years old! ?

   In the first two games, Westbrook spent most of his time entangled with Yiyang, so he didn't know the depth of Kidd. But today, Westbrook found it. The Mavericks, one and two point guards, are monsters!

   A willpower is indestructible, no matter what you do, you can’t get rid of him. The other one is strong and sturdy, and being entangled with him doesn't take the slightest advantage.

  Yiyang and Kidd locked the Thunder's back line to death, which is why Carlisle is confident to win on defense. Although the Mavericks are mentioned, people's first reaction is "this group of guys are good at shooting." But in fact, Carlisle has no fewer people who can defend than those who can shoot.

   There is no way, Westbrook can only call Ibaka for a pick-and-roll. The Congolese mentioned high positions, and Westbrook made a breakthrough. But the purpose of Thunder 0's breakthrough is not to score, but to score!

   Ibaka immediately went down after the pick and roll. In terms of footwork and athletic ability, the Congolese are much better than Nowitzki.

   Nowitzki couldn't keep up in time and was thrown away by Ibaka who followed. At the same time, Westbrook's pass was delivered to Ibaka just right. At this time, Ibaka had already rushed to speed, and there was no one in front of him.

   According to this situation, even if it is Chandler's defense back to the basket, it may not be able to stop him.

   Although I know that if I go to make up the defense, I will be hit hard enough, but there is no way. It is Chandler's responsibility to protect the basket. So the "Boxing King" quickly ran towards the basket, and the violent collision between the two strong and long men was about to make the hearts of the fans raised their throats!

   Ibaka took a breath, and was ready for the next violent collision. This is the case in the playoffs, when the brave wins on a narrow road, no one will retreat!

   The Congolese held the ball in both hands, accumulating their calves, and was ready to jump high! Just when he was about to take off, the basketball in his hand was snapped off!

   "What!?" Ibaka looked down, and sure enough, it was Yiyang!

  Yiyang's defense was very timely, and rushed to his side without Ibaka noticing it, and reached out and cut away the basketball.

   But after the basketball was cut away, it flew to the bottom line. If the ball goes out of bounds, everything will fall short, and the Thunder will get a chance to reorganize the offense instead.

   So Yiyang didn't even think about it. The basketball flying out of bounds looked like a lively antelope in his eyes. At this moment, Yiyang is a hungry lion!

   I saw Yiyang directly rushing towards the basketball, his whole body parallel to the ground. In the air, Yiyang embraced the basketball with both hands, but Ibaka stretched out his limbs and completely blocked Yiyang's passing route. If Yiyang can't pass the ball back, it will be useless even if he flies to save!

   There is no room to pass the ball, and he has started to fall to the ground again. In a hurry, Yiyang suddenly dropped the ball diagonally!

   "What!?" When Ibaka reacted, the basketball had hit the back of his instep, and then ejected out of bounds.

   Yiyang fell into the reporter area and messed up with a group of reporters carrying cameras. After that, the referee blew his whistle. "The Thunder is out of bounds on the 9th, the Mavericks have the ball!"

   "Good job!" At the moment when the referee made the judgment, Nowitzki yelled in excitement, and then rushed over to pull Yiyang up.

   "Fucking shit!" Ibaka yelled. He couldn't believe that Yiyang actually used this unreasonable way to keep the ball.

"Also, this guy is desperately fighting for the ball for the Mavericks. His defense just now is perfect! Now it is important to note that Yiyang is not only defending Harden and Westbrook, but everyone on the Thunder team must Stay vigilant at all times! Because you don't know where that number one will suddenly emerge from!"

   While Barkley spoke, the Mavericks have already started the next round of offense. Kidd mastered the ball, and Westbrook didn't dare to steal the ball rashly.

   At the same time, Yiyang, who had just had a big fall, has started to move actively. Carlisle let Yiyang play the second position is not just for defense, he also said just now, now that Nowitzki feels bad, the ball will hit him more.

   Yiyang slipped the bottom line and looked like he was about to run to the right corner to catch the ball. When Yiyang passed the basket area, Nowitzki crossed a gear to help Yiyang hang up Harden.

   Harden tried his best to get rid of the pick-and-roll, and rushed towards Yiyang. Just when everyone thought Yiyang was going to reach the three-point line to catch the ball, that number one suddenly killed a carbine!

   A sudden back run without warning! Let Yiyang pass by Harden quickly! Harden immediately shifted his focus, but there was no time to continue following defense.

   Yiyang, who originally ran along the bottom line to the bottom corner, now cut along the bottom line to the basket. Kidd used a precise hit and pass like a cruise missile to let the basketball pass through the crowd and bounce back into Yiyang's hands.

  Yiyang's anti-running not only lied to Harden, but also made most of the Thunder players too late to react. In this way, Yiyang made a layup easily, and Harden had no power to fight back on the defensive end!

   "Should you switch to Sefrosa!?" After Yiyang scored a goal, Brooks's assistant coach Anderson asked nervously.

   Indeed, with Yiyang's offensive ability, it is not difficult to score on Harden's head. But in turn, Harden seems to be more difficult to score on Yiyang.

   But Brooks waved his hand, and it wasn't long before Harden came on the court. How he behaved today, there is no final conclusion.

   The consecutive offensive misses of his teammates made Westbrook determined to fight one by himself. Before he passed the ball to no avail, now he also has an excuse to persuade himself to attack alone.

   However, Kidd's tight defense can be easily defeated by Westbrook. Don't forget, in addition to the passing and triple-doubles most talked about by this historical point guard, the honors of 5 best defensive first team and 4 best defensive second team are also quite significant.

   When he was young, Kidd's anticipation and strength on the defensive end were the top presence in the same position. Now, although the strength has declined, it is still very good. As for the prediction, the young Westbrook is not Kidd's opponent at all.

   Several consecutive attempts to break through were stopped by Kidd, Westbrook's heart became more and more anxious. In the end, Westbrook decided to lean on Kidd to force a layup. Although Kidd could not complete the block, similarly, Westbrook also failed to make a layup behind Kidd.

   "The game has been playing for ten minutes, but the Thunder have not scored in double figures! The Mavericks defense today is really unrelenting!"

   Barkley’s sentence is only half right, because on the offensive end, the Mavericks are also ruthless!

   Kidd just ran beyond the three-point line this time and passed the ball from the bottom lane to Nowitzki. Nowitzki held the ball on the edge of the three-second zone and seemed to be ready to attack.

   The German is a superstar after all. Don’t forget that he scored 48 points in the first game of the series. So even if Nowitzki has not scored a goal today, Ibaka still dare not relax his vigilance.

   Nowitzki straightened up after receiving the basketball, and at the same time, Yiyang had already cut to the basket. Harden had nothing to do with Yiyang's sudden halt.

   Seeing Yiyang cut in, Nowitzki crossed his body and hit Yiyang directly. Taking away the basketball in Nowitzki's hands, Yiyang continued to deepen. Everyone tensed their nerves, and no one knew what way this defender would shoot.

   Perkins, Ibaka and Harden stared at Yiyang nervously, observing his footsteps. But Yiyang didn't stop, but went around the bottom line and went out.

   Harden hurriedly followed, but his heart relaxed a lot. At least for the time being, Yiyang has no scoring threat.

   Yiyang drove the ball out of the three-point line with his back to the basket. Harden opened his arms to block Yiyang's passing route as much as possible. In his heart, this bearded man made a decision. Once Yiyang framed his face, he immediately pressed against the defense, using Yiyang as the bottom corner, so that he could not even get the ball out!

  Every plan is perfect. Yiyang has already ran to the three-point line with the ball with his back to the basket, and looks about to turn to face the frame.

At this moment, Yiyang suddenly knocked the ball behind him. Then, with his back facing the basket, he directly leaned on the "pillar" of Harden and turned around, completing the transition from the back basket to the face frame, and then received it. To the basketball that was knocked back by myself in advance.

   "Turn my back to the basket directly, haha, I seem to have come to a cool street basketball court!"

   Turn around, break, stop, jump shot. Yiyang's movements were done in one go, and he didn't give Harden any chance to make up for it.

   Yiyang lightly throws away Harden, the new darling of Oklahoma City. However, he softly dropped the ball and further opened the score.

   The Thunder couldn't score a goal desperately, but on Yiyang's side, the score was indeed such an understatement.

   Harden was panting, while Yiyang walked past him with a light pace.

  Yiyang's consecutive goals put a lot of psychological burden on the Thunder team. UU reading www.uukanshu.com, especially Westbrook and Durant, they always want to return the color, but the more they think about it, the worse they play.

   Halfway through the first quarter, Nowitzki made his only goal in this quarter. The German turned his back to Ibaka, but suddenly turned and cut into the basket, easily layup and scored, the Mavericks continued to expand their advantage. Nowitzki's performance like this is rare. It can only be said that now, even Ibaka has been beaten in a daze.

   As the game continued to deepen, both sides also switched to alternate lineups. After Stojakovic and Kidd made three-pointers one after another, the Mavericks led 21 to 8 with 3:02 in the quarter. The ambitious Thunder couldn't find the feeling at home. It wasn't until nearly 10 minutes of the game that the scoring finally reached double figures.

   The Thunder were completely overwhelmed by the Mavericks’ defenses and the smooth offense led by Yiyang. In the first quarter alone, they fell behind by 15 points. In the away game, the Mavericks also ended the first quarter of the battle 27 to 12.

  Yiyang scored 10 points, 4 assists and 10 points in a single quarter. This is the sum of Westbrook, Durant and Harden. Among them, Harden's score is still 0.

   Yes, Harden, who performed well in the last game to save the team, lost all 4 shots in the first quarter of the game today and was completely blocked by Yiyang.

   Yiyang, who played a full 12-minute game, sat back on the bench, took the towel handed over by the staff, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

   This guy doesn't look tired at all, but it feels like he has become more murderous
