One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 402: : Aging giants

The Mavericks officially announced that Yiyang will participate in this year's dunk contest. As soon as this news came out, it seemed to touch the excitement of all fans. It was the most boring dunk contest that was originally complained about, and it instantly became the most anticipated dunk contest.

An Asian player can stand on the stage of the NBA Dunk Contest, which is very special in itself. What kind of performance Yiyang, a low-key and dull guy who is usually low-key, will show in the dunk contest, is also very exciting. This guy Yiyang is not good at acting, and only hopes to use his strength to conquer his opponent. So you can imagine how much "hard power" Yiyang will show in the dunk contest.

What's more, there is also Carter, a veteran buckle by Yiyang, who will help design the action. What kind of action can be produced by the combination of "half human half god" and Yiyang is also enough to satisfy everyone's appetite.

Of course, the All-Star Weekend is always just entertainment. Although Yiyang and Carter are also actively preparing for the dunk contest, in Yiyang's mind, the current regular season is his first priority.

There are three days left before the start of the All-Star Weekend. In these three days, the Mavericks have two games to play. These two opponents are the two oldest giants in the NBA, the Lakers in the West and the Celtics in the East.

Although these two ancient giants have now lost their absolute dominance in previous years, they have to admit that they are still not good opponents.

Of course, the Mavericks had already achieved a 7-game winning streak after defeating the New York Knicks. Yiyang's crazy performance continues, and the atmosphere of the battle will not diminish in the past few days before the start of the All-Star Game.

On February 21, one day after Cuban announced that Yiyang would participate in the dunk contest, the Mavericks ushered in a challenge from the Celtics at their home court.

The Celtics' current record is 15 wins and 15 losses. Obviously, this result did not meet the expectations of the Celtics. In addition to the aging of this ancient giants lineup, continuous injuries are also an important reason for their difficulties.

The team's brain, Rajon Rondo, ceased the game due to injury, and "Wolf King" Kevin Garnett was also unable to participate in the game due to injury. Without Rondo and Garnett, the Celtics will undoubtedly drop greatly.

Even so, when interviewed by reporters before the start of the game, Celtics coach Doug Rivers was still full of confidence.

"Yes, the integrity of our lineup has indeed been greatly damaged. But I don't think we will definitely become losers in this game. Basketball is a complex sport, and the paper lineup seems to be a stronger team. But it may not be able to win." Rivers faced the camera, boasting to the sea with his ugly drake voice.

"Yesterday, you even lost to the Detroit Pistons by 12 points." The reporter who interviewed Rivers may be a novice, and he did not give the champion coach any step down.

Rivers' complexion turned black at once, this guy is deliberately picking things up!

"Have the Mavericks been beaten by the rebuilding Cleveland Cavaliers? Do you think this shows the problem?" Rivers asked rhetorically, and then left the reporter and left alone.

This champion coach is really angry now. They are the Celtics who just won the championship a few years ago. They still have two superstars, Pierce and Ray Allen. Why now, the entire league seems to treat them as underdogs!

With a "pop", Rivers slammed open the locker room door. The coach looked angrily, and the players who were wearing the equipment faced each other in order. What happened just now?

"Bradley, I only give you one task today! Prevent me from killing that **** Chinese! Don't let him score easily, let him know that he is too early to rule the league!" Rivers suddenly yelled , Scared everyone. Then everyone's eyes fell on Bradley. Avery Bradley, who replaced Rondo as the team's starting point guard, swallowed, preventing death? I'm afraid this task can't be completed easily...

Before the game, Rivers didn't even shake hands with Carlisle. This coach, who has experienced three consecutive defeats, really wants to win, but at this point, they met the Mavericks who just won 7 consecutive victories.

It is known that the BA coach may be one of the most stressful professions in the world. Under normal circumstances, if a team has a problem, the management will start with the head coach. Among the players, the coach has to balance the relationships. The coach has to withstand two pressures at the same time, and survive from them. This is really not easy.

Carlisle also understood Rivers' current mood, so the other party didn't shake hands with him, and he didn't take it seriously.

In the first second after the start of the game, Rivers stood on the sidelines to direct the game. The voice of his drake voice was particularly harsh even in the crowded American Airlines Center Arena, and Bradley had to accept it from the beginning.

"Defend the kid, do a good defensive! Don't be afraid of him, let him be afraid of you!" As soon as Yiyang had possession of the ball halfway through, Rivers yelled at Brad. Bradley lowered his weight and focused on it. In a team with Rondo, Bradley rarely gets the chance to show himself. Taking advantage of Rondo's injury at the scene, he must perform well and must not let the coach down!

Bradley's defensive ability is indeed very good at the first position. He is willing to defend and has a strong body. Bradley used to guard Yiyang very uncomfortably when he was in college, but now Yiyang is more than a bit better than when he was in the Bulldogs.

Shaking, suddenly changing direction, accelerating, through the pick-and-roll, Yiyang's series of movements are very smooth, allowing him to easily shake off Bradley.

As soon as Bradley came out of Haywood's screen, he saw that Yiyang had already taken a shot from the three-point line. The Green Army No. 0 hurriedly stepped forward to interfere, but with a height of only 1.88 meters, he had no way to block Yiyang's sight after being delayed.

In this way, Yiyang steadily made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, continuing the fiery touch of the previous game. As soon as the game opened, Yiyang was stabbed in the heart by Yiyang. Bradley, who was originally full of confidence, was also hit hard.

"It's okay, let's attack it, just attack it!" Rivers shook his head hurriedly, got rid of the negative emotions in his mind, and then continued to yell from the sidelines. Carlisle, who was seated on the bench, looked at Rivers with a strange look, as if he was watching a grandstanding clown.

Afterwards, Ray Allen opened up some distance with Carter by running without the ball, and got a mobile phone meeting. Bradley did not dare to delay and immediately delivered the ball to Ray Allen's hands.

Rivers waved his fist vigorously. He thought the score would be equalized. However, Ray Allen's three-pointer went out of the box and missed.

"Hey!" Rivers sighed. He still didn't want to admit that as several of his team's stars got older, it would be difficult for them to perform as they did in the year they won the championship.

Haywood pocketed the defensive rebounds, and then threw it directly to Yiyang. The Celtics players immediately retreated to the basket, and everyone thought that this guy was going to raid the penalty area again.

However, Yiyang suddenly sent the ball out in the middle of the burst, allowing Nowitzki to get an open shot from outside the three-point line.

Yiyang's high-gloss performance this year seems to make people ignore Nowitzki's horror. But don’t forget, this guy is still one of the best power forwards in the league!

The firing of the "German Cannon" is bound to cause huge damage. The basketball entered through the net, and Nowitzki stabbed Rivers's bleeding heart again. Yiyang and Dirk, the duo, never show mercy to their opponents.

The opening two goals have already established the Mavericks' control over the game. The game after that was the epitome of the opening two offenses. The Celtics can only have 34-year-old Pierce and 36-year-old Ray Allen to play against the Mavericks. As for other role players, they simply can’t carry the scoring task.

"The Bostonians are totally unable to withstand the scoring storm of the Dallas Mavericks. Although before the game, Coach Rivers threatened that the Mavericks would not necessarily win. But I think now, the Mavericks' eight-game winning streak is a foregone conclusion!"

"In the whole game, the Celtics did not get even a one-point lead. They have been chasing after the Mavericks. It has been the same for the past 40 minutes. In the last 8 minutes, don't expect the Celtics to suddenly resurrect. ."

Not long after the start of the fourth quarter, Reggie Miller and Kevin Harlan on the commentary stage had already sentenced the Celtics to "death penalty."

And what about Rivers? The guy finally sat back on the bench. It's just that his face is completely ashes.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Rivers ignored anyone and still didn't shake hands with Carlisle, but got up and walked directly into the player channel.

73 to 90, the Celtics lost a humiliating score at the American Airlines Center Arena. Nowitzki faced Chris Wilcox, who replaced Garnett in the starting game, and scored a large double-double of 26 points and 16 rebounds. Wilcox, who has entered the end of his career, is just an ordinary rotation player, and the gap between him and Nowitzki is self-evident.

But Yiyang also scored 24 points and 11 assists against Bradley, who was about his age at www.novelmtl.com. Bradley worked very hard in this game, but in the face of the absolute strength gap, many efforts can only be in vain.

The performance of Yiyang and Nowitzki completely surpassed Pierce and Ray Allen. Ray Allen scored 15 points today, but his 1 of 5 three-pointers was clearly not satisfactory. Pierce scored 20 points hard, but 20 points did not turn the current Celtics over.

The decline of the Celtics has become a reality, and this alliance has long entered the moment of changing dynasties.

The Mavericks scored eight straight victories and continued to head forward. Although the next day, the Mavericks lost back-to-back fighting to Gasol after the Los Angeles Lakers broke out, the winning streak was terminated. But the score of 27 wins and 8 losses in half a season was far beyond everyone's expectations.

"People say that the Mavericks are not good this season, but look now, they are still one of the best teams in the Western Conference. The aging Mavericks lineup is now only one game less than the Thunder, and temporarily ranked second in the Western Conference. Behind them, the Spurs and Lakers are struggling to catch up. There is no doubt that Yi's ability to lead has passed the test!"

At this point, the war in the regular season finally slowed down his pace. The players ushered in a short vacation as they wished in a greatly reduced season with intensive schedules.

For the players, the All-Star is a holiday. But for fans, the All-Star Weekend is the beginning of madness!

The confrontation between Yiyang and Irving in the rookie game, what actions will Yiyang take in the dunk contest, and what kind of sparks will Yiyang make with those superstars in the All-Star game.

In Orlando in 2012, Yiyang will definitely bring a full table for Dallas fans!
