One Guard

Anthony Davis blocked dunks after the opening, not only sounded the alarm for the Mavericks, but also boosted the morale of other Pelicans players.

What about the 74 wins and 8 losses Dallas Mavericks? The regular season and the playoffs are two completely different battles. In the playoffs, the regular season record can only be used as a reference, not everything.

Now the game has just begun, you have to fight to know who is the stronger team.

As a result, when the Mavericks launched an offense again, Yiyang could clearly feel that the Pelicans' defense was much more active than before.

It seems that Anthony Davis still has some leadership qualities. At least his emotions can affect every player on the Pelicans.

But enthusiasm alone is not enough. The problems exposed by the Pelicans in 82 games of the regular season will not be solved simply because of enthusiasm.

Eric Gordon has never been known for his defense. This guy who is about the same height as Yiyang is more willing to be a scorer than an outside gate.

The Pelicans' anti-cutting ability is something Yiyang can use. This time he decided to meet Anthony Davis in person to see how much the other party is invested.

As a result, Yiyang handed the ball to Iguodala as always. Then, he started his ball-free movement that never dies.

It is very difficult for Eric Gordon to bite Yiyang. In terms of defensive awareness, Gordon may only be considered the league average. Therefore, it is difficult for him to guess Yiyang's thoughts, and it is also difficult for him to predict Yiyang's next move.

Not every guard's brain can be as fast as Yiyang, Paul and Kidd at both ends of the offense and defense.

As a result, Yiyang threw away Gordon with two consecutive realistic counter-runs and cut to the inside line empty-handed.

Iguodala passed the ball to Wade, and Wade hit the ball to Yiyang. When Yiyang received the basketball, he had already rushed in front of Anthony Davis.

Davis's long arms looked almost the same as Gobert, and Yiyang didn't want to challenge their "long-handed behemoth" from the front.

As a result, Yiyang protruded from one side of the basket to the other, ready to go up the basket and use the basket to cover the basketball.

But Anthony Davis is very smart, and it turns out that he is not the kind of stupid big guy who only shows off his bounce.

The upstart of the Pelicans didn't take a shot, but waited for Yiyang to take a shot before he took off and blocked the shots.

Yiyang was shocked and cold. Fortunately, the ball has a high arc, and Davis failed to complete the shot. But his extremely concentrated attention has already made Yiyang's temptation a goal.

Not only does the other party do not intend to give up, but they are also very focused! No wonder Davis was able to take Dirk cleanly just now, and he is now extremely sensitive to every action on the court.

A lot of energy was put into the defensive end, which did not affect Davis's performance on the offensive end.

When Davis received the ball in the low post, Gobert immediately doubled up. But the No. 23 big man was not in a hurry, but distributed the ball to the team's shooting guard Quincy Pondset.

Pondset is not a star. This guy who entered the league in the same year as Yiyang is still a "professional substitute". It was this season that Pondset had only got some starting opportunities.

Although this guy's scoring ability didn't explode much, he was in a steady word. He will never waste this kind of mid-range half basket.

Pondset scored and the Pelicans continued to score! Anthony Davis completed the assist when he was double-teamed!

"Maybe, this will become Anthony Davis's battle of fame!" Mike Brin finally became interested in this game. Davis has performed outstandingly in three consecutive rounds. Facing 74 wins against the Mavericks, the Pelicans did not get hanged at the start, but played back and forth under the leadership of Davis.

He can pass the ball, shoot the basket, score at the basket, defend, and run fast...Yiyang really doesn't know the proof to describe Davis. The versatility of this guy is definitely the top of the league.

The first time he played the playoffs, he had adapted to the intensity and rhythm of the playoffs in just a few rounds. And his performance, also quite a bit of the league's first insider feeling.

The playoffs will make people grow.

Yiyang nodded approvingly, facing such an opponent, it would be very dangerous if the score was not opened early.

That being the case, start from the first quarter and expand the score!

This is the end of the tentative round, and from now on is the real war!

"Also, this time he advanced very fast. I don't know what happened, but he must be very dissatisfied with the current situation."

Yiyang raised his arm outside the three-point line and directed his teammates to actively move. Wade easily found a gap and came out and raised his hand for the ball.

After receiving the basketball, Wade made a shot. After Tyreke Evans was fired, Wade took a big step forward before taking the shot.

Two points are accounted for, and the Pelicans' defense is really vulnerable.

However, the defensive end is where the Mavericks really need to pay attention. This season, the Pelicans are definitely one of the best offensive teams in the league. With Anthony Davis in, the Pelicans can always open the situation in the three-second zone.

This time, Davis is still active. But Gobert defended around the front and blocked Davis's receiving route very tightly.

Gordon is not Yiyang, he does not have the passing accuracy that can break the ball. Gobert is always passionate on the defensive end, and his passion will greatly reduce Davis' chances.

Davis wanted to go around to catch the ball, but as soon as he came out, Gobert violently blocked it again. The card position, go around the front, then the card position, and then go around the front. The hand-to-hand battle between the inside players started long before the basketball was received.

Davis couldn't catch the ball, and Eric Gordon started looking for someone else. But Gordon is not a passer, on the contrary, this guy trusts his singles ability more than passing.

Asik screened on the right, and Gordon quickly went to the right. But his intention was too obvious. It was obvious that he didn't need to think carefully, so he took his own steps.

Gordon, who had borrowed the cover of Asik, was about to shoot, but found that Yiyang's expressionless face appeared in front of him again.

It was undoubtedly very uncomfortable to be stopped when he was about to shoot. The Pelicans’ offensive rhythm has been interrupted, and the Mavericks’ defense has succeeded for the most part.

Tyreke Evans still wants to come up to support, but Wade in the playoffs can't just run away.

Davis gritted his teeth. Is this the Mavericks playoff-level defense?

In the end, Gordon had to fight against Yiyang. In basketball, Gobert drove Davis and grabbed a defensive rebound. The physical confrontation at the playoff level is also more intense than he imagined.

Yiyang didn't dare to relax, and ran all the way after receiving the basketball. Counterattack is the best way to open the score.

Davis also accelerated with all his strength. Although he could not catch up with Yiyang, with his bounce and wingspan, Davis thought he should have a chance to complete the shot.

Yiyang directly killed the inside line, aggressively. Just as he was about to take off, the No. 1 magically transferred the ball to Dirk who was outside the three-point line. During the whole process, Yiyang never looked back, and genius knew how he found Dirk.

Since Davis was chasing after Yiyang, it also proved that Dirk was empty in front of him. This time, one was in the penalty area and one was outside the three-point line. Unless Anthony Davis has wings behind him, he will never be able to complete the shot again.

Hand up and down, Nowitzki hit a three-pointer. The gap between the top team and the last team of the playoffs is clear after a few rounds.

Anthony Davis has performed well since then, but he couldn't resist the Mavericks' offensive and defensive performance.

The Mavericks fans sang and danced in the stands, and seemed to have celebrated the victory three quarters ahead of schedule.

In the last 1 minute and 32 seconds of the first quarter, when Yiyang was replaced, the score on the field had been pulled to 12 points. The Pelicans' defense, under the Mavericks' offensive firepower, has no deterrent at all.

"Yi's organization is very good, he let Davis see the huge gap between the Pelicans and the top in the first quarter."

At this time, the camera gave Anthony Davis a close-up. But on his face, you can't see frustration or fear.

That guy, it was as if the score was just tied.

At the end of the first quarter, Dalembert replaced Gobert. But Monty Williams didn't make a substitution. This guy wants Anthony Davis to play a whole quarter!

"Davis is still there, the Pelicans don't want to be passive in the first quarter!" What surprised Mike Brin was that they did not accept defeat!

Although Dalem Porter is experienced, he lags behind Anthony Davis in all aspects in terms of physical conditions and athletic ability.

The only way to defend this guy is for Aminu to double-team!

But after the game started, everything was different from what was planned at the beginning.

Davis has received basketballs in deep positions one after another, and when his son receives a basketball in the penalty area, you can often find it difficult to stop him from scoring points.

Davis tried to keep his hands in front of Davis, but this didn't help. Davis made a lot of difficult shots near the basket.

Even once, this thick eyebrow and big-eyed champion was still shot under the double-team of Aminu and Dalembert!

In the last 1 minute and 32 seconds, the Mavericks let Anthony Davis play 6-0! On the Mavericks bench, there seems to be a lack of a definitive role. In the second team, Davis played like a fish in water.

At the end of the first quarter, Yiyang looked up at the big screen at the scene. The 12-point difference was reduced to 6 points. The Pelicans did not accept the fate's verdict, but tried to change their fate.

Since the 12-point gap can't overwhelm you, then make the difference a bit bigger!

Although the battle in the first quarter was tough, the morale of the Pelicans was high. Fighting against the legendary Mavericks, they are only 6 points behind! It seems that the opponent is not unbeatable!

But in the second quarter, Yiyang didn't give Davis and the Pelicans any chance to turn back. Davis is very strong, as good as Yiyang imagined. Because of this, it is dangerous to give them any opportunity.

After the start of the second quarter, Yiyang deliberately changed the rhythm to a faster pace. For the Pelicans' poor defense, nothing is more efficient than completing an offense before the opponent has reacted.

Yiyang began a game with Davis. After the rhythm of the game came together, Davis felt that he was following Yiyang all the time.

As long as the Pelicans shot hard, Davis had to run away. Because when he turned his head, Yiyang always rushed to the forefront.

The poor defense of the Pelicans leaves no one on the team able to withstand the impact of Yiyang. The only chance for the Pelicans is for Davis to complete the defense.

However, Davis's hand is not close to the basketball every time he blocks.

Yiyang throws a shot, Davis can't reach. Yiyang pull rod layup, Davis is always the smallest difference with basketball. If Yiyang passes the ball, the person who receives the basketball must score, because the Pelicans have no way to predict the pass, and there is no way to block it in advance.

On the defensive end, the Pelicans are more with the ball than with people.

In fact, the Pelicans are a team that is very good at blocking opponents' three-pointers, and they rarely give opponents three-pointers. The problem is that this team seems to be a bit top-heavy. This season they have given opponents a 32.7% shot ratio in the three-second zone, the league's first. In this position, the Pelicans were shot 63.5 percent from the field. It can be seen that Davis and Asik did not really protect the basket. But in fact, this is not the pot of Asik and Davis, but has something to do with their poor perimeter defensive ability.

You shoot directly outside the three-point line and the Pelicans can block. But as long as you start to break through, the Pelicans can't do anything. Don't think that Yiyang only took care of Vignali the night before. When studying the video of the game, these data were already kept in mind by Yiyang. When he got on the court, he knew what method would be more effective against opponents.

Ten minutes later, when Davis watched the score again. He was surprised to find that they were only six points behind at the beginning of the second quarter, and they are now behind by a full twenty points!

Yiyang finished the work mercilessly, and didn't even leave Davis, the passionate champion, any chance to spark.

"15 points in a single quarter and full firepower. Of the 15 points, 13 points came from within the three-second zone and 2 points came from free throws. The Pelicans can't help but break through. No, I think the entire league also Few teams can prevent Yi’s breakthrough. It’s just the Pelicans that Jean Yi has shot too high a field goal percentage.” Watching Yiyang walk off the court with ease and wipe his sweat, Mike Brin sighed. Sighed.

I thought that Davis would make the game full of suspense again, but I thought that the strong Pelicans would make the game more variable. Unexpectedly, with Yiyang's force, everything disappeared with the wind.

The huge gap in strength between the two teams cannot be filled by Davis alone. After Yiyang is off the field, the Mavericks also have Wade, Dirk, Iguodala, Gobert, Carter... just to deal with them ~www.novelmtl.com~ is enough for the Pelicans. It's big.

Laxity is the only thing the Mavericks need to pay attention to in the first round of the playoffs. When they lead too many points, no one will be nervous because of an offensive miss. If you lose the regular season, you still have dozens of opportunities to fix it. But there are not so many opportunities in the playoffs. Sometimes a game or even an offense will change fate. Even if it is the first place in the league, there are no more opportunities.

As Yiyang, who has never been rejected from the playoffs in his career, he knows the truth well. He understands the playoffs better than all the Pelicans players on the court. Therefore, he did not let any accidents happen.

In the first quarter, Davis sparked a little spark, and Yiyang immediately put it out. Davis played only halftime in the playoffs for the first time in his career, and he was doomed to be killed.

"It's too strong." Mike Brin smiled, and he began to pay attention to the situation in the stands to see if something interesting happened. For example, Vignali and Wen Xue are eating the same small bucket of popcorn.

"Yi’s annual salary can reach tens of millions of dollars, and there are many endorsement contracts. According to this logic, his mother and wife should each buy a bucket of popcorn. Even if they can’t finish it, it’s not a waste. , After all, even a barrel of popcorn at the U.S. Route Center Arena can sell for at most US$10, and the consumption of two barrels is only US$20. This is really nothing to the Yi family..." Mike Brin has started chatting with his partner Kevin Harlan, because this game itself has nothing to say.

Yes, as long as you don't let up, the Mavericks don't have much to worry about, especially in the first round of the playoffs. And it is impossible for a leader like Yiyang to let the team relax.
