One Guard

11 to 0, even the steady Popovich can no longer ignore the score. Today, the Spurs are not just a problem of luck. The fact that the guy Yiyang is fully open is the main reason why they are now behind by a big score.

In the last game, the players of the Spurs implemented a man-to-man defense, which made Yiyang's passing skills nowhere to be used. Today, both Carlisle and Yiyang are very smart to solve the offense in a few seconds. If it is in normal times, Yiyang will definitely not spread like just now. But now in this special period, Yiyang will play the ball without hesitation as long as he sees his teammates have a chance. In doing so, the Mavericks really achieved surprisingly good results.

"Offensively, give me more caution and stop making mistakes! The Mavericks' defense is actually not strict, just because they are too aggressive! If he dares to grab, don't reluctantly attack, give me a chance to make a decision! This is ATT Center, guys, go on the court and give me a shot of those guys from Dallas!" Popovich is definitely an open-mouthed coach. Now that he is righteous, he can't control his own words. .

But Popovich did not make the Spurs players feel pressured after his swearing, but instead made them full of strength. After so many years, Spurs players have long been accustomed to Popovich's style of doing things. If you don't listen to the old man's occasional yelling, the Spurs players may feel boring.

"Kawhi!" Just when everyone thought Popovich's arrangement was over, he stopped Leonard.

Leonard turned his head, his face still had that calm expression on his face.

"Play more aggressively! It doesn't matter, you can take a few more shots today." Popovich mysteriously leaned into Leonard's ear and whispered, and the Spurs "facially paralyzed" small forward lightly tapped. He nodded and entered the field at the same time with his teammates.

The score difference of 11 to 0 is very eye-catching. The Spurs fans have been extremely confident from the beginning, but now they are very nervous. Even O'Neal was silent for a long time. Seeing the Spurs fall behind, it is really difficult for him to joke unscrupulously.

On the contrary, Sir Barkley had recovered, and he was as excited as he was on the commentary stage. At the beginning of the game, he was hit with an 11-0 offensive climax, and the morale of the Spurs players is destined to be greatly reduced. Barkley is looking forward to the moment when Yiyang completely controls the game. If everything goes well today, Barkley is even willing to pay for O'Neal and prepare a national flag of the right size for O'Neal.

But the Spurs are always the Spurs. After Popovich's guidance, they finally relied on Duncan to make a difficult start with an inside hook. The Spurs scored, but four minutes have passed since the start of the game.

"In the opening four minutes, the San Antonio Spurs finally opened the scoring. This time, the Spurs conducted a lot of passes. I think this was deliberately arranged by Popovich in order to get rid of Yiyang's defensive threat."

Duncan's goal temporarily stopped the blood from the wounded Spurs, but this is not a temporary and permanent solution after all. Successful goals once or twice do not change anything. What the Spurs need now is a wave of offensive climax.

To play an offensive climax, two conditions must be met at the same time. First, limit the opponent's scoring, so that the opponent's offense is blocked or even the opponent is eliminated. The second is to ensure the success rate of their offense. Even if a round of offense is not completed, the momentum is likely to be directly cut off.

Just now, the Spurs have completed an excellent offense. So now, what they have to do is to defend.

When the Spurs attacked, the formation was relatively late. After the offense was over, they quickly returned to defense, completely giving up the fight for offensive rebounds. Although doing so will make them lose the opportunity for a second attack, it also prevents Yiyang from launching a surprise attack as much as possible.

"The Spurs retreat quickly, leaving no space for the Mavericks at all. They just want to play a positional battle, and they have to fight the Mavericks one goal after another. Do they have to return to relying on singles to maintain Has the team been in the scoring situation?"

In the last round, Yiyang relied on Kaman's sudden cut to complete the assist. But since then, Split has stayed on Kaman. The Spurs' defense is very tight and they change defenses very quickly. Even if there is no ball pick and roll, there is no way to win the gap for the Mavericks players.

Yiyang did not stick the ball, but passed it to Old Carter after observing the situation for a while. Carter has the ball off the three-point line, which is not a threat to the Spurs at all. To be precise, except for Yiyang and Nowitzki, no one else can pose a threat to the Spurs with the ball.

Seeing that he couldn't get the shooting space, Old Carter passed the ball to Marion. Marion’s opponent is Leonard, the "gibbons" known for his defensiveness, and he naturally won't give Marion any space. Marion is now not talking about holding the ball to make an action, even if he dares to put the ball in front of his body, he may be intercepted tragically.

"The Spurs' defense is very successful, and the Mavericks seem to be contained."

Barkley didn't answer Kenny Smith's words. He stared at the stadium anxiously, trying to figure out a solution, yeah, trying to figure out a solution...

The ball passed a round without finding a chance, and finally returned to Yiyang's hands. Yiyang took a step back and motioned everyone to pull away. Parker swallowed. Is this guy going to single?

Before Parker was ready, Yiyang slammed his right foot on the ground, making him "eject" in front of Parker in an instant.

Parker subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop, but only felt a gust of wind blowing through the hair on his arm. What are the legs of that guy in Yiyang? ?

Parker was broken and the Spurs had to make up defenses. Of course, he can also choose to watch Yiyang easily layup. But there is no doubt that no one will do that. Splitter took the initiative to abandon Kaman and defended to the basket. Even if Yiyang really passed the ball to Kaman, the mediocre offensive German center might not be able to score.

The Spurs' defense looked seamless, and before the end of the first quarter, they would definitely be able to fill in the points difference! However, Yiyang neither passed nor layup this time. Facing Split's defense, Yiyang, who had just stepped into the three-second zone, threw the ball to the basket.

Watching the basketball fall over the fingertips of the big players and into the net, Yiyang's heart was suddenly full of accomplishment. The fans of the ATT Center opened their mouths. The Spurs' defense has done this, but it still failed!

"The Spurs' dream of wanting to hit an offensive climax is gone. Tony's'engine' is no longer what it used to be, and now it is difficult for him to catch up with the speeding in the basketball court.

"Coach Popovich just tackled the other four of the Mavericks, but as long as they don't solve it, the Mavericks offense will not stop!"

The commentators were cheering for Yiyang's brilliant breakthrough and beautiful throwing, while Popovich sighed with his hips akimbo. But as a coach, what can he do? Do you complete a few transactions during the suspension time?

In many cases, the head coach is really powerless to deal with certain situations on the court. The Spurs' defense can only be improved by the players themselves.

The defensive end was blocked, but the Spurs performed well on the offensive end. As long as Yiyang can't grab the basketball, the Spurs are sure to get the ball where it should be. This time, Leonard's middle distance once again helped the team to continue the score. But as just said, the Spurs will not be able to catch up with such a point-by-point chase.

Yiyang's footsteps continued. He just used a throw to solve the attack, but this time, Yiyang did not break through.

As soon as his toes touched the three-point line, Yiyang stopped. This meal caused Parker to pass the ball outside of Yiyang!

What Yiyang wanted was this effect. Seeing that Parker put his attention on the ball, Yiyang stopped in a hurry, and Parker was tragically surpassed again.

"God, Tony was smashed into a sieve today. He couldn't do anything about it. Maybe Coach Popovich should be replaced by someone to defend him."

Do you think Popovich doesn't want to? But who can he switch to defend Yiyang? Ginobili? Gary Neal or Corey Joseph? No matter who these guys are, they are not necessarily better than Parker.

In this way, Yiyang once again broke into the restricted area. Leonard hesitated for a while, did not make up the defense, but stood firmly in front of Marion. Danny Green was a little shaken, but he still decided to watch Carter.

Duncan and Splitter both shrank to the basket, and the experienced Duncan seemed to have found the most suitable position. This time, I will come down to you while standing!

Yiyang was not afraid of Duncan and Split's double encirclement. He bravely took off, as if he was going to layup directly!

Duncan immediately raised his arm and jumped to a height of about 30 cm. This jumping height may seem ridiculous, but for a guy like Duncan who relies on position, experience and smell to complete the cover, jumping is not a must at all.

Duncan's long arms are on the top of Yiyang, and Yiyang has nowhere to escape. Either act randomly or be blocked by Duncan. Regardless of these two choices, Yiyang seems to be doomed to fail.

Therefore, this Chinese who always loves to fight with fate chose the third way, passing the ball!

Yiyang put down his raised arms and put the basketball back in the air. Then, from Duncan's waist, handed the ball to Nowitzki behind "Stone Buddha"!

People are all marveled at Yiyang's magical ability to find people in chaotic and melee combat. In fact, Yiyang is optimistic about the position of his teammates long before he takes off!

Nowitzki received the basketball that was blocked by Yiyang, and at the same time Duncan landed and turned around to make up for Dirk!

Nowitzki threw the ball lightly before Duncan took off. Although this is not an offensive action used by a big player, Nowitzki's extremely soft touch still makes the basketball hollow into the net!

"The goal is scored! San Antonio's iron fence can't conceal the power of Yi! The fourth assist in the audience, also with their excellent performance, let them maintain the suppression of the Spurs!"

"I said that I can get a double-double today, Shaq. Look, the first quarter has not ended, and four assists have already been sent! Today, I also found a very good one among the individual offense and the team offense. The perfect balance."

In the face of Barkley's praise of Yiyang, O'Neill has nothing to say. Yiyang's performance today was so perfect that it even surpassed the entire Spurs. But fortunately, this is only the first quarter of the game, the Spurs have time to change all of this.

At the end of the first quarter, Popovich and Carlisle both changed into the rotation lineup, and the anxious game finally eased.

But the second quarter of the game had just begun, and the suffocating rhythm of the game immediately surrounded the entire arena, and no one wanted to escape.

As soon as he came up, Yiyang confused the Spurs with a fake pass. He tried to pass the ball to Collison on the right, but in fact he passed the ball to the left with a flick of his wrist.

There, Yi Jianlian, who has always been overlooked by the people, took a mid-range shot. Duncan's remedial defense did not interfere with Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian scored two points and Yiyang's assists continued to rise! In the future, Yi Jianlian can also pat his chest and say to others: "I am also the one who scored on Duncan's head."

Yi Jianlian's mid-range hit was just a warm-up. After 20 seconds, Yiyang suddenly came to the second position. The Chinese defender ran halfway across the court, making Ginobili who was following him miserable. In the end, Yiyang used a flexible back-run to withdraw from the three-point line and received a pass from Collison.

If it was two seasons ago, Ginobili would not have to worry about Yiyang's shots from beyond the three-point line. But now, that hairy boy is already the MVP...

With the knife up and down, Yiyang's three-pointer made an accurate hit. The double-digit gap is still the same, and the Spurs are overwhelmed.

Subsequently, although the Spurs relied on Leonard's wonderful dunks and their morale skyrocketed. But just 20 seconds after the dunk performance, Yiyang used a fast layup to foul Duncan and get a chance to hit a three-pointer!

Seeing Yiyang in such a state today~www.novelmtl.com~ O'Neill couldn't help taking a breath. Once an MVP-level player is fully active, they can override any system and tactics!

Was it so unlucky for me to run into a fully-on Yiyang?

Physical fitness, this is the only life-saving straw for Popovich and O'Neal. The Mavericks played so hard at the beginning, and even used half-court defense to contain the Spurs' offense, which could not reasonably allocate physical energy.

Now, Shaquille O'Neal and Popovich, the two old guys who are connected with each other, can only pray that the Mavericks will self-Vagainst the second half of the game because of physical problems.

Can the Mavericks stick to the end? Carlisle is also not clear. The reason why he arranged this way when he came up was indeed a bit desperate. If you return to Dallas with a total score of 2 to 0, it will be futile to leave much physical strength.

Carlisle is also extremely worried about the Mavericks' performance afterwards. But as long as Yiyang is there, Carlisle believes that there is hope for everything.

This guy, but our head star!
