One Guard

Vol 3 Chapter 714: : Magical to mediocre

D.J. Augustine can be said to have been very proud recently. Since the big tumor of Josh Smith is gone, everyone in the Pistons seems to be reborn. Augustine was one of the most dazzling people.

In six games, averaging 15.8 points per game. Augustine's performance made him the well-deserved sixth man of the Pistons.

Today, he also played well. So far, in just one minute, he has scored four points on Devin Harris.

But just after he scored the second goal, Carlisle called a timeout. No one paid attention to Shelvin Mark, and no one thought that Carlisle would put him on the court so quickly. So that after Mark played, Kevin Harlan opened his mouth in surprise and shouted: Who is he! ?

"Shelvin Mark, only formally signed with the Mavericks last night, and I didn't expect to play now after 24!" Mike Brin explained.

"Shelvin Mark? That Mark from the Atlanta Hawks?"

"Now, it's Mark of the Dallas Mavericks."

Indeed, apart from the Mavericks' own fans, few people care about the movements of such a small person. So Kevin Harlan suddenly saw an unfamiliar face wearing a Mavericks jersey playing, he would be surprised and forgiven.

D.J. Augustine thought that Carlisle would send Tony Allen to defend himself, but he only made a simple substitution.

This kind of role is the same as many!

After the half-time, Augustine called Drummond forward to cover, and through the screen to break through, this is Augustine's favorite offensive method.

This time is no exception, Drummond's pick-and-roll quality is as high as ever. After bypassing the screen, Augustine was empty in front of his eyes, and the road to the basket was extremely smooth.

But just as Augustine was about to start speeding, he felt that he was slammed into the side by someone.

Augustine was unstable and had to stop the ball. Turning his head to see, it was Mark with a face full of flesh!

"Shelvin Mark's defense is very tough. Although he didn't bypass the screen the first time, he reposted it in the first time. Augustine was struggling and only passed the ball to Jodie Meeks!"

The ball was handed over to Meeks. In the Lakers last season, Meeks averaged 15 points and 40% of his three-pointers, which allowed him to get a three-year, $18.81 million contract with the Pistons last summer.

This contract is larger than the combined contracts of the first five years of Meeks's career. But after the Pistons, Meeks did not perform as expected.

Some players are like this. After being satisfied, they don't have the motivation to continue working hard. Jodie Meeks may fall into this category.

Under the entanglement of Tony Allen, Meeks didn't get a chance. Even Drummond's pick and roll didn't work well for Tony Allen.

Meeks' forced layup finally missed under the interference of Tony Allen, and the Pistons' offensive failed!

"I said, that kid is worth the money!" After watching Mark's defense in the first round, Carlisle smiled at Armstrong next to him.

People who can be respected by Yiyang are usually not easy to mess with!

In the second round, Augustine still wanted to attack by himself. This time he learned to be clever. Instead of head-to-head with Mark, who is physically strong, he intends to break Mark's defense by attacking without the ball.

He handed the ball to the Swedish striker Jonas Jerebko, who is 2.08 meters tall and has a good passing vision, and then moves by himself.

But Mark still stayed with Augustine, he was like a real bulldog. As long as you see the target, you will always chase the other side!

There was a cover, and Mark tried his best to squeeze away. Augustine ran back, and Mark gritted his teeth to keep up.

In the end, Augustine went outside the three-point line and shot the ball!

Augustine's three-point shooting percentage has always been good, and he is definitely a trusted three-point shooter.

It's a pity that Mark, who was biting Augustine, didn't give him any chance.

A defensive that completely blocked the face, made Augustine's sight all missed. The basketball knocked to the front of the rim, and Augustine missed two consecutive offenses!

"For Augustine, this is not a good sign. Mark has completely locked him up, I think this may be the strongest defensive player he has ever met in the second team."

Shelvin Mark did his best to not allow Augustine to score. On the offensive end, it also gave Carlisle a small surprise.

Compared to Yiyang, Mark is an attacking point guard who prefers to score. This is why in the NCAA period, Stevens would let Yiyang play the first position, and let Mark switch to the second position.

Although Mark's shooting is not stable enough, the impact of his strong body is still very strong.

This time, Mark, who had not practiced with the team, improvised a hand-to-hand match with Dalemport.

After getting the basketball, Mark went straight to the penalty area and made a layup under the interference of Augustine. He also caused a foul by the opponent and got a chance to hit a three-pointer!

The Mavericks fans all jumped up and cheered for Mark's outstanding performance.

Isn't the abandoned one the best? This is not necessarily true!

On the free throw line, Mark steadily made a free throw, widening the point difference to 8 points in one fell swoop.

Although Carlisle does not require Mark to have any performance on the offensive end, his enthusiasm is still recognized by Carlisle.

Mark, who occasionally scored 20 points from time to time last season, is not useless on the offensive end.

In this way, Augustine's aura of the past six games extinguished in front of Mark. More than two minutes after Mark came on the court, Augustine didn't score a point. After losing the offensive strength of the second team, the Pistons also lost the opportunity to tie the score.

"Good job Mark! I want you to fight like that!" When the break ended, Carlisle praised Mark specially and gave him a thumbs up. The other teammates also nodded at him, expressing their approval.

In just two minutes, Shelvin Mark proved his value in the team.

After that, Carlisle lifted a small bench and sat in front of the main players. He was holding the tactical board and staring at Yiyang.

"Also, how are you resting?"

"I have plenty of energy, Boss!" Yiyang smiled. Today, he finally didn't have to play midway to suppress the opponent's substitute. And this is where Shelvin Mark's greatest value lies.

"Very good, in the second quarter of the game, give me the score! In Dallas, we refuse any team to perform miracles here!"

"No problem, boss!" Yiyang smiled confidently, the Detroit Pistons, only because of the lack of Josh, the offensive efficiency was greatly improved.

But this has not changed the essence of the Pistons, they still can not be called the league's strong team!

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yiyang scored two points with a layup on Drummond's head. If you say that even Drummond can't prevent Yiyang from scoring in the three-second zone, but the rest of the Pistons can't help Yiyang.

Fan Gundy had no choice but to double-team against Yiyang early. But the double-teaming gave the other players of the Mavericks a chance.

Yiyang's passing is magical, and wherever there is a chance, the ball will definitely be sent there.

The Pistons' defense was messed up, and the Mavericks played more blooming performances under the organization of Yiyang.

Jennings was completely misfired in front of Yiyang, and Drummond Green, like Gobert, usually didn't help much on the offensive end. The entire Pistons only rely on Greg Monroe to score. Although Monroe's efficiency is much higher than that of Josh Smith. But there is no doubt that he is not a superstar. Monroe was alone, but there was no way to defeat the Mavericks.

When the point difference was widened by the Mavericks to 15 points, Carlisle looked at his watch and it was time for the rotation to play again.

Usually this time is the best time for the Pistons to catch up. But today, the appearance of Shelvin Mark made the Pistons' second team advantage disappear.

The magical Detroit Pistons were beaten back to their prototypes in Dallas. The weak offensive firepower of the Pistons guard line allowed them to see the gap between themselves and the top teams.

And Shelvin Mark also used this game to make an official appearance in Dallas. His defense and aggressive offense gave the Mavericks another "bench bandit" on the bench.

"This morning, almost all the media gave Cuban's operation a C rating. But from the point of view of this game, Cuban's operation is fully worthy of the A+ result! Shelvin Mark is very suitable for the Mavericks who focus on defense. , He Yiyang is a college teammate, he also knows how to get along with this MVP. This is a super army that belongs to it, and Cuban has truly built the team around it." Mike Brin doesn’t know how others do. Look, but Mark's performance undoubtedly touched him.

In the subsequent games, the Pistons still did not have the opportunity to counterattack. Yiyang, who is always able to get enough rest, can nail the piston to death as soon as he comes up. After Yiyang took a break, the defense line formed by Mark and Tony made the Pistons still unable to set off any storms.

Regardless of whether Yiyang is present or not, the Pistons do not take the slightest advantage. This kind of game, the Mavericks players can easily win as long as they don't think about it.

In the end, the Dallas Mavericks ended the Pistons' winning streak very "inhumanly". 108 points are worse than ~www.novelmtl.com~, which reflects the scene of the game very faithfully.

Josh Smith must be very happy at this time. After this game, see who the **** will call him the MVP!

"At the end of the game, the strong also let the Pistons know what real dominance is. 32 points and 11 assists. By the way, Jennings shot rate was controlled at 28%. This is a true leader on the court. The role played. The Pistons may be the right move to lay off Josh, but they still lack a leader who can make a final decision." Kevin Harlan’s eyes naturally focused on Yiyang, because he had nothing. Doubt is the most dazzling star today.

"It is worth mentioning that Shelvin Mark, who played for the Mavericks for the first time today, also had a good performance. 6 points, 2 assists and 1 turnover. From the data point of view, Mark may have nothing to say. But Augustine was completely misfired. This is the biggest contribution he has made today. I think that during the period, Mark and Ye won the NCAA Championship trophy together. I don’t know if the successful cooperation experience of the two will continue to the NBA!" Mike Buo Lin was full of praise for Mark, and the power of the little man cannot be ignored.

Nine consecutive victories, 36 wins and 3 losses. The Mavericks didn't let the accident happen. Even the magical Pistons had to leave the U.S. Route Center Arena honestly and take nothing with them.

"Is Mark's defense strong? Yesterday he lost to me when he singled out!"

Facing the reporters' cameras and topics, Yiyang, in a good mood, made a rare joke at first sight.
