One Guard

The genius remembers the site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Thanks to Odom’s "excellent" performance, the Mavericks who originally played smoothly, before the end of the first quarter, I was caught up by the Thunder.

29 to 28, the huge advantage ended up with only 1 point gap.

At the end of the first quarter, people's topic was not Yiyang who performed all-around, not Carter who played well, nor Nowitzki who was as stable as ever. The name everyone is talking about is Lamar Odom!

"Odom really did not disappoint the Thunder fans. His performance is as stable as ever. Without him, how could the Thunder shrink the score?" Charles Barkley kept mocking Odom in front of the microphone. He really did. I hope that once all-male soldier can hear what he said.

But in fact, even if Odom heard these sounds, he might not have much reaction. Odom only regards basketball as part of his life. He doesn't play well, he doesn't want to play, and there is no way he can be forced.

"Everyone performed well in the first quarter, and I hope to keep it going! In the second quarter, Jeter, you play for Carter. I need more offensive firepower. Although the Thunder players are very personal Outstanding, but they are easy to make mistakes on the defensive end. What we have to do is to catch these mistakes and give them a fatal blow! Remember, guys. I refuse to accept the three-game losing streak, I refuse!" Carlisle was in the inter-session. When the tactics were laid out during the break, the "excellent" performance of Theodore was deliberately absent.

This is not because Carlisle is not angry, but Carlisle has begun to gradually marginalize Odom. In the first two games, Carlisle will squat in front of Odom to encourage the frustrated former Lakers player. But now, Carlisle didn't even look at Odom at all. Is there anything more marginal than being directly ignored?

Odom didn't notice these details, this guy was still thinking about himself, how to find face after going on the court.

The fierce game continued, and the Mavericks made Terry the starting shooting guard in the second quarter. The purpose is clear, that is, to strengthen the offense.

Facts have proved that Terry after leaving Odom is like a "jet" that has been unlocked, soaring freely in the sky.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yiyang assisted Terry to shoot from the mid-range position. Nowitzki set up an off-the-ball pick and roll for Terry, which Odom couldn't do on the court.

Subsequently, Terry used a wonderful pass to assist Nowitzki to the basket. If the ball is passed to Odom, it will definitely waste another opportunity.

Without Odom's trouble, the Thunder found that they wanted to complete the go-ahead and open the score in one go, but it was too late to achieve.

With a 3 to 5 point lead, the Mavericks have been in control of the game. The Thunder players bite tightly, waiting for an opportunity to appear.

In the seventh minute of the second quarter, Ibaka's tough hook made the Thunder once again narrow the point difference to 1 point. In order to prevent the Thunder from starting, Carlisle called the game to a halt.

According to the rotation plan, now, Odom, the important sixth man, will play again. Odom took off his training suit, stood up and moved his arms. Dirk was out of breath at this time and his shooting percentage began to decline. It was obvious that he needed a break from the field.

But when Odom leaned towards Carlisle, Carlisle's words made the almighty warrior open his mouth.

"Brian! Come here and replace Dirk for a few minutes!"

"Yes!" Cardinal ran to Carlisle obediently to listen to the tactics, while Odom was isolated from the crowd by himself.

"What's the situation?" This super bench, who ranked second in the best sixth man last season, was a little dazed.

"...The situation is tense now. I don't expect Lamar to save the team like last season. But at the very least, he shouldn't become a scumbag! Hey, wait! Coach Carlisle doesn't seem to be replaced by Austria. Dom, he brought up the veteran Brian Cardinal! Odom, was abandoned!?" Barkley took a closer look. Although all of his training uniforms were removed, he finally stepped onto the court. It was Cardinal who looked like a car mechanic.

No one spoke to Odom, and Carlisle did not explain him. He was left out in the cold, left out at the end of the bench.

"Fuck, what do you mean!?" The embarrassed Odom hurled the towel on his shoulder to the ground angrily. This scene naturally couldn't escape the countless cameras on the scene.

But the Mavericks players are still indifferent, their expressions are almost like Odom just now.

"Although Lamar is thankful for not playing, Cardinal is still not reassuring. Although this veteran played a high-profile performance in the finals last year, overall, his strength still has a big gap with others. "

Cardinal does have many flaws, but don't forget that Yiyang is in control of the overall situation on the court. This young defender can always help his teammates conceal their shortcomings.

After returning from a timeout, the Mavericks launched an offense for the first goal. Cardinal's deterrence on the offensive end is simply incomparable to Nowitzki. Therefore, Ibaka didn't even press Cardinal, but stood closer to the basket, guarding against Yiyang's breakthrough at any time.

Yiyang did not forcefully break into the Congolese territory, but called Haywood to pick and roll himself. Westbrook's ability to defend the pick-and-roll is still not satisfactory. With such a block, Westbrook was thrown away in an instant.

Perkins didn't even think about it, and immediately made up for Yiyang, trying to make a front and back attack with Westbrook. Haywood? Haywood has almost no offensive methods on the offensive end. What else can he do besides dunking when catching the ball?

and many more! Buckle on catch?

Just as Perkins had just reacted, Yiyang's pass had already passed through the crotch of this strong center. The basketball went through Perkins' body and went straight to Haywood, who cut in after the pick-and-roll.

Heywood is indeed technically rough, and can be said to have no skills on the offensive end. But in the face of an empty basket, Haywood can score easily even if he has no skills!

The center, who is good at running and jumping, got out of gravity directly after receiving the basketball. He jumped up suddenly, then swung the basketball into the frame with his sturdy arms.

"Also, pass through the crotch! Cardinal's position made Ibaka a little far away from the basket, and the Congolese didn't have time to defend. Haha, this is without Lamar's role, Lamar does not play, the Mavericks will Playing better and better!"

Then the Thunder counterattacked and Durant dropped the ball to Ibaka, hoping that the Congolese could eat Cardinal alone.

If Odom were on the court now, Ibaka would have countless ways to ruin the absent-minded guy. But the mediocre Cardinal made Ibaka feel different pressures.

This guy is too fierce to guard!

Although Cardinal looks harmless to humans and animals, he is usually very gentle in the locker room. But once on the field, this guy will become a lunatic. Don't forget, Cardinal was nicknamed "The Butcher" before joining the Mavericks!

His close defense and fear of sacrifice put a lot of psychological pressure on Ibaka. He faced Ibaka's powerful collision and clung to his opponent, and there was a sharp contrast between the dedicated Cardinal and Odom. Although Odom is indeed stronger in personal honor and ability, at this time, I believe that most basketball fans like Cardinal more.

Under Cardinal's desperate defense, Ibaka decided to go to the basket with his body. At that time, Cardinal, who is only 2 meters 03 tall, will have no way to stop himself.

Leaning back for the first time, Cardinal was pushed so hard that his heart almost jumped out. This thin white forward does not seem to be Ibaka's opponent at all.

In the second time, Ibaka succeeded in taking a big step back. Cardinal's chest hurts fiercely, and in the face of absolute tonnage disadvantage, they are nonsense of any technique.

At this point, Ibaka is only one step away from the basket. Just one more effort, Cardinal's defense will collapse completely.

Ibaka seems to have forgotten that even James and Bosh suffered a lot from Cardinal during the finals last season...

The Congolese leaned back confidently, and he had even planned the next move. After opening Cardinal, he turned around and dunked directly! Do you think that not letting Odom play can stop the decline? It's so naive!

When Ibaka exerted his force for the third time, his back didn't feel the resistance of Cardinal, instead he smashed into the air!

It turned out that the smart Cardinal did not fight with Ibaka, but chose the most powerful one in Ibaka, and then withdrew!

Cardinal's retreat caused Ibaka's center of gravity, who had concentrated all his strength to be unstable, and fell directly to the ground!

The audience exclaimed. This time, even Barkley and O'Neal raised their arms unanimously. "Brian is worthy of being a veteran, he played the aggressive Ibaka round and round!"

Ibaka was "stumbled" by his violent force. In the chaos, Cardinal stooped to pick up Ibaka's basketball, and then the veteran whose hairline was almost over his head threw a shot. Action, to pass the basketball vigorously to the front court.

The camera lens moved quickly with the basketball. When the lens was fixed to the front court, people realized that the lightning-fast Yiyang had already started. At this time, within three meters behind Yiyang ~ www.novelmtl.com~ was completely empty!

Sitting on the bench, Carter stood up. Facing such a big gap, I wonder if this kid Yiyang would not use that trick?

Yiyang stretched out his long arms and unloaded the basketball in the air. At this time, he has already ran to the free throw line. Yiyang slammed the ball to the ground to find the rhythm. After that, the No. 1 guard held the ball with both hands and took off with his back to the basket.

Dunk dunks with both hands on the back, this kind of action Yiyang also frequently staged last season, is not new to the fans.

Just when everyone thought that Yiyang would end the performance with an ordinary back buckle, Yiyang raised the basketball high, but dropped the ball in the air between his legs!

After gliding with his back to the basket for a certain distance, Yiyang took the ball up again and slammed it into the frame!

"The buckle is beautiful!" Carter suddenly waved the towel in his hand. This action was taught by Carter at the training ground yesterday!

At the scene, everyone's eyes widened. An Asian defender actually completed such a wonderful folding dunk! This is something that people have never seen before!

"This guy should go to the dunk contest!" Barkley even put forward the idea of ​​letting Yiyang participate in the dunk contest.

Cardinal's smart defense and Yiyang's wonderful dunks caused the morale of the Thunder to fall into a trough. Without Odom, the Mavericks really stabilized the situation.

After the goal, Yiyang pointed to Carter on the bench to show his gratitude. After that, Cardinal greeted him enthusiastically and touched Yiyang's head.

The Mavericks continue to maintain control of the situation, and the Thunder's revenge plan seems to be more difficult to complete.

At this time, all the Mavericks players were celebrating, but Odom was the only one at the end of the bench with his long face gloomy.
