One Guard

Don't look at Drummond Green's poor character, but in the Warriors, his role is really irreplaceable.

Green is definitely the cornerstone of the Warriors' defense and the Warriors' best defense player. Whenever the opponent hits the inside, Green's timely blocking will cause a lot of pressure on the opponent.

So far this season, Green has averaged 1.4 blocks per game, making him the team's block leader. He also averaged 1.2 steals per game, making him the team's steals leader. He blocked shots on the inside or cut the ball waiting for an opportunity to form the Warriors' last line of defense.

But now there is no Green, so this picture appeared on the court.

Yiyang broke through Curry through the pick-and-roll, but no one could make up for it in time like Green did. Yiyang easily broke into the restricted area, throwing a shot. Neither Speights nor Azerley have the mobility and enthusiasm of Green. Without Green, the Warriors' defense has become a mess.

Of course, the Warriors are not only affected by defense, but their inside offense almost fails.

The Warriors' other inside players basically don't have the ability to score from the low post, and Azeri is a defensive inside. Although Speights is an offensive, but his role is a big shooter, he does not attack the basket at all, and even likes to float outside the three-point line than outside players.

Green is the only player in the Warriors who has the ability to attack from a low post. Without Green, the Warriors will have no weapon for a low attack. More importantly, when there is Green, he is responding to the pass, and can often send the ball to the teammate who cuts the air in a timely manner, so that his teammates can easily attack the basket.

In the previous three quarters of the game, fans often saw Harrison Barnes, Thompson or Curry get more opportunities to attack the basket. This is largely due to Green's support pass.

But since Green was sent off, the Warriors have had very few such opportunities. They can only rely on three-pointers to contend with the Mavericks, but what the Mavericks did best today is precisely to contain the Warriors from beyond the three-point line. In other words, it is precisely because the Warriors do not get too good opportunities outside the three-point line today, they will hit the basket time and time again.

For the Warriors, the absence of Green on the court has another important impact, that is, their passion and vitality are not as good as they used to be. Green is the most passionate player in the Warriors and a recognized leader of the team's discourse. Curry and Thompson seldom stand among their teammates and give speeches. Every time the team is in difficulty, Green makes an agitating speech.

Green is like a source of energy for the Warriors. As long as he is on the court, he is always full of emotions, and by the way he can drive the emotions of his teammates. It's a pity that Green ruined the game because he was too passionate.

Since Green was sent off in the fourth quarter, the Warriors have begun to plummet. Gobert and Nowitzki can unscrupulously score points on the inside. After Curry is oppressed from outside the three-point line, no one can help him score into the basket.

Under the leadership of Yiyang, the Mavericks became more and more courageous, but the Warriors became less and less aggressive. In the last 37 seconds of the game, Curry made his 11th shot from beyond the three-point line. Unfortunately, without Green's strong screen, Yiyang can easily interfere with Curry's shots.

Basketball knocked out again. Although Curry scored 25 points today, his 3-pointer shooting rate of 3 out of 11 is obviously not what he should be.

Yiyang completely locked Curry from outside the three-point line today. In the first three quarters, with the help of Green, Curry was able to break through the basket and score points. But now, facing Yiyang's defense, he has nothing to do.

Gobert grabbed the rebound easily, and now finally there is no Green shoving by his side.

The French center launched a long pass and Yiyang easily scored inside the basket. Without Drummond Green, the Warriors' basket is completely open.

Although Nowitzki got a elbow, Yiyang still felt it was worth irritating Green to send him off the field. The value of some players is not reflected in the data.

On the surface, the Warriors Curry and Thompson's numbers are even more dazzling. But Green, the least dazzling among them, is the center of all this.

Yiyang's layup gave the Mavericks an 8-point lead. At this point, the game will end with only 24 seconds left. Unless a miracle strikes, the Warriors will have to accept the fate of defeat.

All Mavericks fans are ready to cheer. They are only 24 seconds away from the incredible record of 21 consecutive victories!

"Too strong, the Mavericks withstood the Warriors' impact. I also let Curry know what an MVP-level defense is. 3 of 11, 26.3% shooting. This is Curry's three-pointers so far this season. The lowest rate in a game. Compared to Curry’s average three-pointers this season, almost 20% less!"

"It also limits Curry very well. This guy can always make the most correct judgments and is not easy to eat. Of course, the most exciting shots of today are still on Drummond Green. "While chatting, Kevin Harlan remembered Yiyang's *** to Green, and the last one that dangled Green, and pointed to the play action of shooting in front of him.

"Hahahahaha, indeed. The worst person today is not Curry. Believe me, this is definitely the game that Green does not want to be mentioned the last."

On the field, Curry has not given up resistance. Similarly, Yiyang did not give up on his defense. 24 seconds, 8 points, if you take it lightly, the Warriors might really catch up!

Yiyang still took a serious defensive attitude at the last moment, preventing a miracle from happening. In the end, the 8-point difference was maintained to the end.

"105 to 97, let us congratulate the Dallas Mavericks. They defeated the Golden State Warriors, the league's second-best, and started with 21 consecutive victories, breaking the 130-year-old record of the four major professional sports leagues in North America! At a great moment, the Dallas Mavericks once again proved their great strength!"

After the game, Yiyang finally relaxed. This game is more tiring than two games. As Carlisle said, before the end of the game, he has no way to relax his nerves.

Even today he has achieved the ultimate defense, but still let Curry score 25 points. This shows how terrifying Curry's aggressiveness is.

On the other hand, Klay Thompson also had 25 points. He also took 11 shots from the three-point line, hitting two more goals than Curry. The three-point shooting percentage was 45.5%, and Tony Allen was helplessly shot by Thompson.

Think about what level of defensive expert Tony Allen is, and think about Thompson's data, Yiyang is shuddering. Under the defense of Yiyang and Tony Allen, almost no guard combination can score 50 points together. But the Warriors did it, and they didn't perform supernormally.

The Warriors are strong, really strong. If they meet in the playoffs, they are definitely a very difficult opponent. Fortunately, for the first time this season, the Mavericks won the game smoothly. The experience of this game also provided valuable experience for the Mavericks.

At the end of the game, all the reporters flocked to the Mavericks players. 21-game winning streak started, they added another record to the league that can hardly be broken.

"Also, what do you want to say to Green about the victory of this game?" An ESPN beauty reporter rushed to Yiyang and asked a very different question.

"Green? It's a pity that he didn't make it to the end of the game today. Actually, I still have a lot of moves before him. Here I have to give him a suggestion, never provoke a stronger opponent than myself!" Yang didn't give Green any face in front of the media. The kind of guy who played madly and dirty, Yiyang wouldn't be soft on him.

What's more, he still has his wife's "instructions", so I should take care of him.

"Then do you think anyone can break your 21-game winning streak start record? You know, such a record is unprecedented in the NBA!"

"I don't care about the record, I only know that this year, we are still coming to the O'Brien Cup." After Yiyang finished speaking, he looked at the number 30 that was walking into the player tunnel.

Maybe this year, the Warriors are their biggest obstacle to winning the championship.

After the game, the major TV stations were still replaying the highlights of Yiyang on Green's head today. With 30 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block, compared to Green's 11 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Yiyang undoubtedly won.

At the press conference after the game, Steve Kerr was also quite helpless about the loss of the game.

"Green's possession, passing and three-pointers are good, but after losing him, we did not find a way to make up for these ~ www.novelmtl.com~ defensively, it is difficult for anyone to make up for what he did for the team. Those things. This game is very regrettable, but I believe that we will not keep losing like this."

Cole attributed the loss to Green's departure, and this gave the Oakland media an excuse to lose.

"If Green wasn't sent off because of a'misjudgment', the Mavericks' winning streak would definitely be ended by the Warriors!"

Such remarks spread immediately. It's as if the Mavericks can win, all because of Green's absence.

Later, at the Mavericks press conference, some reporters also asked Yiyang about this matter.

"If they think that the absence of Green is the key to the Warriors losing, then I welcome the Warriors to visit Dallas again, or we can go to Oakland in person. I will prove one thing. With or without Green, the Warriors would never want to defeat easily. we!"

Hearing Yiyang's answer, Carlisle couldn't help but smile. As a team leader, he said what he should say. In fact, Yiyang is still a little talker in private, but since taking the banner of Dirk, Yiyang will no longer remain silent to the enemy.

If even the leader is not tough, how can other people follow you to attack the city?

In five years, Carlisle can be said to have watched Yiyang grow step by step. This growth refers to not only his skills, but also his heart and responsibility.

Drummond Green definitely wanted to smash all the TVs in the world at this time, because the TV was all stupid about him being knocked down by Yiyang.
