One Guard

With a wonderful breakthrough and powerful back buckle, Yiyang gave the fans a gift from the opening of last season's regular season MVP. This dunk has made fans look forward to it for more than half a year. Since the Mavericks were eliminated at the end of May, they have reappeared on the basketball court at the end of October. Yiyang's dunk has made people's long waits worthwhile.

However, everyone knows that offense is just a dessert before dinner, and what the Mavericks really look forward to this summer hasn't been shown yet.

Teague had just passed the half-time dribble, and the air around him seemed to have become heavy. He couldn't help lowering his center of gravity and controlling the ball cautiously. Yiyang, Tony Allen and Iguodala are like packs of hungry wolves, always staring at the "lamb" named basketball in their hands.

Yiyang didn't take the initiative to post it, but the huge sense of oppression made Jeff Teague stop at a distance of two steps from Yiyang. He didn't dare to come closer. Few guards in this league wanted to get close to Yiyang, unless you were the kind of devilish muscleman like Westbrook.

Millsap, who was able to extend his range beyond the three-point line, came out, and Teague immediately took the ball, for fear of a slow half-beat to give Yiyang a chance to steal.

When Teague passed the ball, he realized that he was sweating profusely because of the tremendous pressure! The oppressive feeling of the Mavericks outside defense is really terrifying!

Paul Millsap is 2.03 meters tall. As a fourth position, he must be at a disadvantage. But in the footsteps, Millsap is better than Nowitzki. So this All-Star forward who just moved to Atlanta is ready to write a new chapter in his career and breaks directly with the ball, singles Nowitzki!

Nowitzki's blockade was very timely, but it was indeed difficult for the elderly Germans to keep up with Millsap. Millsap leaned against Dirk with his right shoulder and dribbled to the paint with his left hand!

Millsap took two steps and was about to make a breakthrough. But at the moment when he was about to get rid of Nowitzki's defense, Millsap made a hard shot with his left hand, but it was empty. Basketball! ?

The Hawks' No. 4 forward turned his head in surprise, but this time, the person who stole the basketball from his hand was no longer Yiyang, but Tony Allen, who had the right time to make up for it!

"It's Tony! His defensive position and awareness of defense are simply the top of the league. The price of 23 million in 4 years is definitely worth the money! Millsap's breakthrough is very beautiful, but it is a pity that he met someone who likes to defend. Former Grizzlies Titans!"

Tony Allen's steal made the Hawks' first offense failed with only two hands. Before Millsap had time to shoot, the ball was snatched back by the **** Tony Allen.

It seems that the Mavericks' defensive strength is not limited to the perimeter. Those three top defensive experts can easily switch roles at any time in the defense of the inside and outside.

After the steal, Tony Allen did not advance by himself, but immediately hit the ball and handed the ball to Yiyang, who had already started to rush towards the frontcourt and was ready to counterattack.

The fans and commentators on the sidelines were all excited, fast break, that is simply Yiyang's paradise!

Teague chased after Yiyang, but everyone knew that Teague had no choice but to foul. Take off and cover Yiyang? Please, the jumping height of that Chinese is beyond Teague's!

When the Hawks had nothing to do, Teague still started. He didn't expect that with just the second round of offense, Yiyang could force himself to use fouls to solve the problem.

But Yiyang didn't sit still. Before Tigla stayed with him, he flung the ball seemingly behind his head. The basketball flew into Iguodala's arms as if he had eyes.

The referee did not call Teague a foul, Iguodala came from behind and made a layup easily, allowing the Mavericks to continue to score!

"This is the first connection between Yiyang and Andre. I believe that in the future, such images will appear frequently." Barkley clapped and applauded, and the tacit understanding between Yiyang and Iguodala seemed to be born.

After the goal, Iguodala enjoyed the applause from the fans and nodded slightly. It's not that you can't live if you leave the Denver Nuggets! Those fans and experts who have smashed their faces with themselves and slandered endlessly on the Internet, wait to be shocked!

4-0, the Mavericks did not allow the Hawks to score as usual, but unexpectedly played two rounds of excellent offense. They rely on defense to drive offense, and rely on counterattack to win the first level.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the Mavericks' excellent defense. In the next three minutes, every defense of the Hawks will be successfully stopped. Korver tried to fire a few times from beyond the three-point line, but thanks to Tony Allen, the white shooter’s shots were all shot.

DeMarre Carroll also tried a few shots, but Iguodala was always able to arrive in time to wipe out the opposing opportunity.

As for the highly anticipated Jeff Teague, he seemed to have disappeared in the first three minutes of the game, and after dribbling the ball through half-court, he usually has nothing to do with him. The Hawks' offense was a mess, and three minutes passed. Frozen is not scored a point, was beaten by the Mavericks a 9-0!

When the Eagles coach Mike Budenhorse desperately called for a stop to the game, people all over the world who followed the ball were stunned. Before the game, people can imagine the Mavericks' strength on the defensive end, but they never expected that they could achieve zero opponents!

In three minutes, the not-so-weak eagle did not get any chance. Their tactics are executed very well and their passing is very smooth. But no matter how good the front is, as long as the final shot is not made, it is a waste of effort.

"Inside, give me a shot in the three-second zone! Isn't it cooler outside the three-point line of the American Airlines Center Arena? Why are you all jumping away from the basket!?" Budenhorse was furious. Obviously the Mavericks' perimeter defense is their greatest strength. Now the players have to go head-to-head with the opponent's greatest advantage. Isn't that boring?

The players lower their heads one by one, and the high morale before the game seems to have disappeared. They want to fight into the paint zone, but how easy is it to say that they want to break into the penalty zone under the defense of this copper wall and iron wall?

The timeout ended soon. The Eagles wanted to regroup and fight back, so as soon as they came back, they implemented the ideas of head coach Budenholzer and hit the inside!

Al Hofer knew that he had to take up the heavy responsibilities now. So this time, the 2007 flower-seeking show was no longer humble, but directly leaning on Dalembert near the three-second zone to raise his hand for the ball.

Although Horford's height of 2 meters 08 is not good at the center position, and even a little short, Dalembert dare not relax a bit, because he is leaning on himself, a short center who never gets **** by his height.

Teague still didn't get entangled with Yiyang, and directly hoisted the ball high inside, making Horford the main attacker.

After holding the ball, Horford felt Dalem Porter's defense with his back, and then began to advance rhythmically to enter his range.

When Horford had just stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, the short center suddenly turned around and lifted the basketball, seeming to want to jump over and shoot!

Dalembert would naturally not just watch the basketball hit the frame like this. He moved forward and rushed towards Horford with all his strength. This veteran center who has played in the league for more than ten years is extremely hardworking, but his ability is indeed no match for that year.

Seeing Dalembert flopped forward, Horford was not nervous, but smiled slightly.

In the next second, Horford retracted his shot, hooked his waist and took a step from Dalem Potter, who was blocking the jumper. He shook the Haitian easily and finally picked the basket. Really, the height of 2.08 meters can not restrain Horford's hands and feet.

"Al Horford's inside footsteps are really pleasing to the eye! As soon as the timeout came back, the Eagles scored. It seems that Coach Budenhorse's tactical arrangement is very correct! In the three-second zone, the Hawks' chance is in the three-second zone. Inside!"

"I have to admit that in front of Horford, Dalemport's defense is almost useless. The Mavericks' protection of the three-second zone is far less threatening than their oppression from outside the three-point line." Even Barkley, who has always supported the Mavericks, has He shook his head helplessly. If the Mavericks could once again have a center like Tyson Chandler, the Mavericks defense would be perfect.

At the same time, on the Mavericks bench, a young big man is already eager to try. It's just that at this moment, no one pays attention to him at all...

The game played for a few more minutes. Although the Mavericks still controlled the situation, Horford's internal offense went smoothly. Dalemport has a feeling of powerlessness. Facing an inside line that averaged nearly 20 points per game last season, the Haitians really have no good way.

When Horford made a layup with a breakthrough along the baseline and scored again, the Eagles had already scored three goals in the three-second zone. Al Horford has become the most high-profile Eagles player on the court, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is carrying the team alone.

Carlisle sighed, then turned to look at the bench. Horford seems to be too strong for Dalemport, but fortunately, they have a backup this year!

Carlisle walked straight to the middle of the bench and stopped in front of a young man with a hairy head. The academic coach leaned down and stared at the energetic Frenchman.

"Take off your training suit and go to the technical desk to register, Rudy, you will be on the court soon!"

Gobert looked at Carlisle's serious expression, suddenly his mind went blank and he didn't know what to do while sitting on the bench.

"What are you doing in a daze!? Go to the technical station to prepare, your performance time is up!" It wasn't until Carter stabbed him with his elbow that Gobert finally came to his senses. He stood together and immediately attracted everyone's attention. That guy is too tall!

"We saw that Coach Carlisle seems to have arranged a countermeasure. He decided to use this year's No. 27 rookie, Rudy Gobert from France. People say Carlisle is a conservative guy, but he made a first place so early. Coach Carlisle is very bold when a rookie at the end of the round comes on the court! Is it possible that he still expects a rookie to do better than the experienced Dalembert?"

On the court, Nowitzki shot too hard after receiving a pass from Yiyang. Not only did the basketball hit the neck of the basket, but it also flew over the rebound directly out of bounds.

The Eagles directly won the offensive ball. At the same time, there was a dead ball on the court. Gobert and Dalembert high-five, officially stepping into the NBA arena!

"A rookie?" Horford was dumbfounded when he saw Carlisle's substitution. The experienced Dalembert couldn't help himself. Did Carlisle think that a rookie would do it? Don't look down on people!

"Jeff, continue to pass the ball to me later!" Horford shouted after taking the baseline ball. He will let the rookie see how cruel the NBA is!

"Don't be nervous, just do it like training." On the other side, Yiyang was also calming Gobert's emotions. The Mavericks players already know how strong this guy is. Gobert just lacks an opportunity to show his strength to the world, and now, the opportunity is here!

As Horford had imagined, as soon as he reached the position near the three-second zone, Teague's pass was delivered quickly.

Still no double-teams, the Mavericks actually assured Gobert and Horford, an All-Star guy one-on-one!

Horford leaned back hard with the ball back to the basket. With a muffled sound, the two bodies collided violently!

However, what Horford did not expect was that Gobert, who seemed to be thin, did not take a step back. His body was as hard as steel bars!

"Good boy, it's kind of interesting!" Horford was naturally not discouraged, he was not the kind of insider who likes head-to-head. Simple and rude are not good, Horford will be flexible.

With the ball on his back, he suddenly took Gobert's "tower" as the axis, and made a swift turn! With flexible footwork and superb skills, Horford's turn achieved an immediate effect.

With just one turn, he completely left Gobert behind him, and Horford was only less than two steps away from the basket at this time!

Horford was full of energy and leaped hard! This year's Atlanta Hawks will not be slaughtered anymore!

Just when Horford's body had reached its highest point, he was about to smash the ball into the rim~www.novelmtl.com~ Horford suddenly felt dull on his head, as if he was covered by something.

After that, another force appeared on the basketball body and confronted Horford, who was holding the ball in both hands. Horford, whose body had begun to fall in the air, could not be stretched in the end. The basketball was completely dominated by another force, and then he was slammed on the backboard!

"Board hat! God, he actually nailed Horford's inevitable dunk to the backboard!" Barkley's eyes widened, still couldn't believe what he had just seen. After that guy jumped up, it seemed to cover the entire restricted area, and Horford, who was 2.08 meters away, had no chance of escape!

Horford's eyes widened, and cold sweat broke out in an instant. He immediately turned his head and saw that Gobert had already handed the ball to Yiyang. The rookie who was selected with the 27th overall pick had just given Horford a solid lesson in 2007!

We will not underestimate the NBA, but you better never underestimate the rookies, the old guys of the NBA!

Seeing this scene, Carlisle on the sidelines smiled comfortedly. Do you still want to solve the battle in the three-second zone like the Spurs did last season? No, stop wishing.
