One Guard

After the three quarters, the Spurs managed to narrow the difference to 7 points only after Danny Green made 3 of 4 three-pointers in a single quarter. Although the point difference is not big, but the Spurs' process of stabilizing the gap in single digits is thrilling, I am afraid that only they themselves know.

As Charles Barkley said, if it weren't for the Spurs' miraculous performance from beyond the three-point line, they would never have been able to bite the score.

But having said that, Danny Green's accuracy from beyond the three-point line really scared Carlisle. His shot is extremely fast and it is difficult to be disturbed. And the choice of shooting is very bold, as long as there is a chance, Green will decisively choose to shoot!

Three-pointers are indeed a cost-effective offensive method. Often only a few shots are needed to reduce the originally large point difference. Or, it is to open the difference directly. If there is a team in this league that can maintain Danny Green's three-point shooting percentage and use three-pointers as the main attack method, God knows how terrifying their combat effectiveness will be.

However, Carlisle immediately shook his head. Danny Green's three-pointers were not "normal". This is not something everyone can play and keep it. It is very rare to have one such shooter in a team.

However, what Carlisle didn't know was that in Oakland, there was already a team that was eliminated early this year and began to try the possibility of this style of play...

During the inter-junction break, Popovich’s mouth never stopped. He did his best to deploy many tactics to curb Yiyang's play. However, Yiyang can always use various methods to solve difficult problems.

"11 assists, 23 points and 3 steals. In just three quarters of the game, I have already got a pretty double-double stat! Now, whether Barkley or Shaq will become the final winner is the only issue between the two sides. Now." Kenny Smith, as a "neutral person" who did not participate in the bet, is naturally happy now. Look at Barkley and O'Neal, these two guys are already nervous and sweating. To be honest, the air-conditioning system in the ATT Center is not bad, and Kenny Smith is very comfortable sitting on the commentary platform.

The sweat of those two fat guys did not flow on the surface, but from the heart.

"With 11 assists in the three quarters, Yiyang completely revitalized the Mavericks offense. The Spurs' defense has been excellent enough, and they have only left a small gap almost every time. However, for players like this, A little gap is enough." On ESPN's side, Mike Brin was also surprised by Yiyang's performance. The fact that people have to admit is that the strength gap between the Mavericks and the Spurs is really huge. This point is very obvious when the players of both sides are facing each other. But Yiyang, the MVP, could stand it. He used his own personal ability to fill the gap between the two teams, and so far, they have done a good job.

God knows what the game would have been without Yiyang, maybe the Mavericks would have difficulty getting into the penalty area under the defense of the Spurs.

At this time, there are countless heavyweights in the ATT Center. The great GDP and Popovich, the legendary European striker Dirk Nowitzki. But today, these people have become supporting actors. Everyone is discussing Yiyang, Yiyang. This guy himself is writing a legendary career that belongs to him.

"It's the fourth quarter! I know everyone is exhausted, but we must stick to it! The Spurs are a slow-paced team. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, we can play at their rhythm. Wait for the end. At any time, sprint faster!" Carlisle looked at the panting players and couldn't help being a little worried. Now, the biggest problem for the Mavericks is physical fitness. It is not easy to maintain the same defensive strength against the Spurs. The Mavericks have no choice but to press hard at any cost.

"Well, we can do it."

The sweat of Kat, Nowitzki, Marion and other veterans has begun to drip on the floor, and they are even too tired to speak. Only Yiyang can nod his head in response to Carlisle.

"Beep." The electronic buzzer that represented the end of the intermission time rang mercilessly, and the players of both teams stood up from the bench, fighting for life and death. Carlisle replaced Carter with Collison and Marion with Claude. Yi Jianlian replaced Nowitzki and Murphy replaced Kaman. Everyone needs to rest, otherwise the veterans may not be able to persist until the end of the game.

Only Yiyang, already very exhausted, has already made plans to play for 12 minutes.

"Coach Carlisle sent another lineup with a starting lineup and four substitutes. I have to admit that his approach is very scary! Although he has performed well with such a lineup more than once, gambling is a gambling after all. , Carlisle is very likely to ruin the entire game." Kenny Smith’s words are not alarmist. As for the Mavericks second team, except for Darren Collison, everyone else and the playoffs are indeed the stage. Some are out of place.

But do you think Carlisle wants to? The Mavericks' lineup this season is so tight. And this is exactly why Yiyang is great enough.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ginobili, the demon knife, wanted to hit the Mavericks. But today, Argentines are in a very general state. As the most convulsive player on the Spurs, you can't stop Ginobili when he is good. But when the state is bad, it's really not that scary.

His sharp breakthrough made Collison, who was still nasty, stunned. In the end, the Argentine wanted to use an irritating pass from behind to pass the chance to Gary Neal's hands.

However, not everyone can connect good looks and use closely like Yiyang. Ginobili's pass is a show, but his head is a little worse. Moreover, Gary Neal did not expect the Argentines to pass it like this.

In this way, Ginobili's ball passed directly to Popovich's arms. The camera gave Popovich a close-up shot of his face, and the old coach flushed with anger, wishing to trade Ginobili now!

"Manu's passes are always in the middle of the top ten and turnovers. It's a pity that he didn't have good luck this time. As soon as he came up, the Spurs gave the Mavericks the ball. I didn't look at it. What kind of performance can the team's second team play again this time."

Although the strength of the Mavericks second team is not strong, there is an advantage, they can follow Yiyang!

Fast pace, which is exactly what the Mavericks need. As soon as the two elders Yi Jianlian and Murphy ran beyond three points, they stopped. The white and the yellow two insiders threatened beyond the three-point line, and Dior and Bonner who came on the bench were at a loss. Should they reclaim the basket, or should they continue to stay by their side?

Yiyang didn’t give the Spurs’ two substitutes any time to think. He speeded up and wiped out the mediocre Gary Neal. He avoided Bonner’s slow body and slipped in like a loach. Inside.

Then? The man who came back to make up for the basket was actually Ginobili. No way, he is the only Spurs player who has time to return to the penalty area to defend. But to be honest, Ginobili's defense at the basket can't cause Yiyang any substantial trouble.

Ginobili reached out and stopped Yiyang, but to no avail. The referee didn't call the Argentine a foul, so he was quite kind.

Yiyang made a layup easily, and his personal score came to 25 points. Yiyang, who had already got double-double data in three quarters, had no plans to stop there.

To score a goal, Yiyang silently raised his fist and waved lightly. Although Leonard on the bench has no expression, his heart is already very anxious.

The point difference has become 9 points. If the Spurs fail to score a goal, the gap will be in danger of being widened to double digits. The two-digit difference and the single-digit difference have completely different psychological pressures on players. Popovich naturally does not want the game to reach the fourth quarter, the points difference is still in danger of being opened.

Of course he wants to switch to Leonard, switch to Parker, switch to the No. 21 rookie. But there is only one Yiyang, and not everyone can play a full 12-minute game even when exhausted. Popovich only secretly sighed that he has a young core, which is really nice...

Neil just got the ball to Ginobili just after halftime, he didn't want to try to get entangled with Yiyang. Ginobili just grabs the ball, and the bullying is that Collison is not strong enough and lacks confrontation ability.

Yi Jianlian saw Ginobili burst in and immediately made up for defense. The Argentine saw the needle and immediately gave the ball to Burris Dior, who was emptied.

The French forward Dior is definitely an underrated "old monster", even if he is a little out of shape, but this guy is an all-around wizard who can play five positions.

Mid-range shooting is not a problem at all for Dior. Yi Jianlian also wanted to immediately change his focus to fight Dior, but it was too late to do so. Dior took off calmly and shot. But the next second, the French striker went black.

Yes, it is Yiyang.

"The defense is very well in place. God, the Mavericks' defense doesn't look much worse than the Spurs. Although Dior was not blocked, the ball was seriously disrupted. No, the basketball knocked out and the French missed it. Great opportunity. Now, the Dallas Mavericks have a chance to re-extend the points difference!"

Yiyang used his endless running to save the team from fire and water again and again. Stevens on the sidelines was full of goosebumps. Has the little guy who used to face John Wall on the court without losing the wind has grown so strong?

Murphy grabbed the rebound, and in the air he also ate Bonner's elbow. People say that Murphy is an out-and-out softie, but at the moment he is stronger than anyone else. The entire Mavericks team has been infected by Yiyang's actions.

After being elbowed, Murphy didn't even deliberately win the referee's sympathy. He knew that if he took a step slower, this attack opportunity would disappear!

With his groggy head, Murphy threw the basketball in his hand vigorously.

"Murphy made a long pass. We saw that we had already started to rush towards the Spurs halftime! But Murphy's pass is too big!"

Basketball flies so fast that even Yiyang can't catch up with it. Murphy is not a good long passer, and he just couldn't control his power very precisely after being hit on the brain by an elbow.

But Yiyang did not give up. He stared at the basketball and ran wildly. Does this guy know what giving up is? If he would give up, he might have been rotten in the Wood District now.

The basketball flew out of bounds, Yiyang jumped high and made a leap in the air. In this way, Yiyang saved the ball when his body was almost parallel to the ground!

Darren Collison, who followed up quickly, received a save from Yiyang. The pass was very accurate. Collison didn't know how Yiyang did all this when he lost his balance in the air. He only knows that he can't live up to Yiyang's sacrifice!

Yiyang's body began to fall, and he was destined to fall miserably during this fall. Just before he made close contact with the floor, Yiyang saw Collison make an easy layup. Yiyang, who fell in the air, showed a faint smile.

Yiyang was like a bomb dropped from an airplane, directly "blowing up" the auditorium at the bottom line. Collison rushed into the crowd and "fished out" Yiyang.

Yiyang was clutching his back in pain, and the hard fall just now made him painful enough.

After struggling on the floor a few times, Yiyang took Collison's hand and stood up again.

"I'm sorry!" Yiyang turned his head and rushed behind him and waved to the fans who fell with him, and then stepped back into the court.

Immediately, the Mavericks fans who came to the ATT center to watch the game gave Yiyang a huge applause.

O'Neill shook his head, although he didn't want to admit it. But Yiyang should be the first person in NBA history to be able to focus on the object in the ATT center.

Yiyang's continuous brave performance has stimulated the adrenaline of the Mavericks players to the highest value. The Dallas Cowboys are now gnashing their teeth one by one, all wanting to go on the court to fight side by side with Yiyang and tear the Spurs guys into pieces.

"I really hope that I can also fight next to Yi now!" Even Hayward, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the ball, was a little eager to try. This shows how infectious Yiyang's actions are.

Popovich looked at the fans applauding for Yiyang, the yelling players on the Mavericks bench, and the expressionless Dallas No. 1 guard.

The old white-haired man sighed, what else can he do now? Pray for God.

Perhaps it is that God is not at home today, or that God is unwilling to obliterate Yiyang's classic game. The Spurs still didn't get any chance afterwards, and the Mavericks' physical problems should have been concealed by their high morale.

After Carlisle replaced the main lineup, the Spurs were even more unable to parry. Nowitzki even had a dunk after turning around and breaking through Duncan. The Dallas Mavericks players went crazy.

The originally docile Mavericks became full of wildness because of Yiyang. They are very aggressive and played a wave of good-looking offensive basketball.

When the fourth quarter was about to end in 3 minutes, Popovich sat back on the bench and stopped yelling. This means that the San Antonio Spurs gave up this game!

"Coach Gregg Popovich gave up the struggle and the game is over! Hahahaha, Shaq, next game, remember to bring your XL flag!" Barkley let out a sigh of self. He felt the easiest moment since betting with O'Neill yesterday.

O'Neill leaned on the bench abruptly and held his forehead.

With 32 points, 18 assists, 4 steals, 1 block and 4 rebounds, Yiyang's large double-double made this behemoth that once wreaked havoc on the interior. Why should he bet with Ye? Barkley is a fool, and also, he is a lunatic! In order to achieve their goals, a madman never counts the price!

What lesson did O'Neill learn from this incident? Never, never bet on anything related to Chinese players...
