One Guard

Although the third quarter has just started, Yiyang is already sweating. The stubbornness of the Rockets today surpassed his expectations.

Harden and Howard, when these two guys are in excellent form and desperately eager to win, the Rockets are not so easy to defeat.

"It seems that the other side doesn't want to just give up victory. They are six points ahead. But it doesn't matter. We have to stabilize the situation by ourselves first. Regarding Harden and Dwight's pick-and-roll, also, if they play the pick-and-roll, then switch defenses. , Switch to Harden. But Dwyane, I need you to defend Terry quickly, no problem, right!?"

Both Yiyang and Wade shook their heads. "no problem."

"Very well, Rudy, shrink Dwight's screen. This guy has no range. The only way after the pick-and-roll is to go to the basket. Shrink the penalty area early and stop him! Just limit Harden and Howard, this time There is no suspense in the game! What I want is 2 to 0, not 1 to 1!"

Carlisle's attitude is very tough. He doesn't want the Rockets to reverse and win at the American Airlines Center Arena. Harden and Howard are indeed very good today, but they are not good enough to make Carlisle give up victory!

The electronic buzzer sounds and the pause time ends. On the Rockets side, the players roared, seeming to cheer themselves up. Yiyang jumped on the spot twice, and the Rockets are indeed much harder to deal with today than last time. But in the end, the victory is only possible for the Dallas Mavericks!

After coming back from a timeout, Yiyang hit the ball to Nowitzki for his first attack. It seems that he wants to take advantage of Nowitzki's height advantage to play inside singles.

Nowitzki did lean back a few steps, and Josh Smith was struggling. At this moment, Dirk suddenly threw the ball beyond the three-point line. At this time, people discovered that Yiyang had borrowed Tony Allen's off-the-ball screen and went to the left bottom corner!

"Stop him, stop him!" McHale yelled desperately off the court, wishing to rush up to make up for Yiyang.

Seeing this situation, Josh directly let go of Nowitzki and rushed towards Yiyang. But Yiyang's shot speed did not give Josh any chance of remedy.

Three-pointers from the bottom corner went straight to the net, and the Dallas Mavericks are determined to get back their lead!

After the goal, Yiyang raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers to celebrate the goal. His goals and celebrations instantly rekindled the somewhat cold home atmosphere.

Leading by six points, it's not safe at all in the U.S. Route Center Arena!

Harden and Howard played pick-and-rolls as always, star singles, this is the only offensive tactics McHale can come up with at this time. Instead of giving Josh the opportunity to waste, let Harden and Howard try their luck.

I have to admit that in front of the strong Howard and the young Harden, Wade's defense is a bit weak. In the previous picks and rolls, Harden could smoothly pass Wade and then score in the middle distance. But this time, when Harden bypassed the defense, he found that Dallas One was waiting for him with open arms!

"Change defense!?" Harden was not nervous, but calmly distributed the ball to Terry. As long as there is a supplementary defense, there will also be a vacancy.

But before the basketball could fly into Terry's hands, he was intercepted by Wade, who was rushed to make up the defense!

"Fatal mistake, Wade's supernatural strength destroyed the Rockets' great opportunity!"

After intercepting the pass, Wade rushed to launch a fast break. There are not many opportunities for Wade to perform in this game, and there is a gap between the previous five games. But as long as there is an opportunity, Wade will definitely be able to grasp it!

With a one-handed dunk, Harden almost caught up with Wade. But on the basketball court, almost and much worse, the ending is the same.

After Wade dunked, the Rockets' lead instantly became only one point left. The Rockets can go from 16 points behind to overtake 6 points. Similarly, a mere 6-point gap can not defeat the Mavericks with 74 wins.

The Rockets panicked, and the feeling of being completely controlled by the other party spread again. Losing points for two consecutive rounds also extinguished the fire on Harden and Howard.

In the subsequent offense, Howard's turn came. After the pick-and-roll, Howard couldn't believe that he, as a super center, was actually using this blue-collar method to attack.

However, the pick-and-roll is not as good as Howard expected.

Howard followed, Harden also hit the ball to pass the opportunity to Howard. But when Howard looked up, he found that Gobert had raised his arms and was waiting under the basket. After Howard's pick and roll, he can only choose the next path, which also makes him very predictable.

Howard was unwilling to give up. He planned to lean on Gobert's "big bamboo pole" to force a layup, just like he repeatedly dunked Gobert in the first half of the game.

But this time, when Howard, wearing the red No. 12 jersey, went up. Except for the great resistance, he felt nothing.

Rudy Gobert gritted his teeth, he didn't want to be beaten by an outdated star center to find North. Fuck me, but the backbone of the Mavericks' defense!

The fierce physical confrontation did not benefit the two elders. Gobert was hit hard enough, and Howard's layup lost his head straight and hit the basket's neck severely.

Nowitzki stretched out his long arm to protect the rebound. The Rockets' offense failed again, and the Mavericks ushered in a chance to overtake the score!

Yiyang ran wild with the ball, and all the Rockets chased at full speed. It must be fast break, everyone thinks Yiyang will definitely get to the basket! Yiyang did the same, but he didn't make a shot at the basket. Instead, he magically divided the ball out of the chasing crowd.

As soon as Nowitzki, who was dragged in the rear, ran beyond the three-point line, the basketball rushed towards him. Nowitzki reached out to catch the ball, well, still his favorite position! The tacit understanding between him and Yiyang for many years has allowed Yiyang to feed Dirk to the point of proficiency.

No one thought that Yiyang would pass the ball, and everyone on the Rockets had forgotten that there was an old Dirk at the end. So when Dirk received the ball, there was not even a Rockets player within two meters of him. Dirk takes his shots calmly, just like doing a three-point exercise, with ease.

The basketball went into the net. After the timeout, the Mavericks successfully played a wave of 8-0 offensive, and once again overtook the score!

"It's a wonderful matchup. No one on the two sides allowed anyone to take advantage. Less than three minutes after the Rockets took the lead, they were forced back by the Mavericks!" Mike Brin's heart beats wildly, the situation on the court. Changing rapidly. It seems that this is destined to be a tug of war!

Facts have proved that Mike Brin is indeed experienced. Although the Mavericks will overtake, the Rockets have also adjusted, not so low. Subsequently, the two sides really fell into a tug of war, and the score rose alternately.

With 2 minutes and 25 seconds left in this section, Yiyang made a backhand layup in the face of Howard after breaking through Terry, giving the Mavericks a 77-73 lead temporarily. Since then, both Carlisle and McHale have been replaced with full benches to prepare for the fourth quarter decisive battle. Little did I know that Iguodala was targeted by the opponent, but the Mavericks defense did not let the Rockets get any benefit to the second team. In the last two minutes, the Mavericks didn't score a point, and the Rockets only made one goal. The Rockets had a chance to equalize, but the experienced Iguodala made Harden an offensive foul at the last moment, which shattered the Rockets' hopes. 75 to 77, the Mavericks still have a two-point advantage.

"The game is up to now, Mike, who do you think will win in the end?" Kevin Harlan couldn't help discussing with his partner. The excitement of this game has made him forget that he is working. This guy is totally enjoying every minute of watching the ball on the commentary.

Mike Brin did not hesitate. His answer was the Dallas Mavericks, and the reason was very simple. "At the critical moment, no one can perform better than also!"

In the past, when talking about the king of the last quarter in Dallas, the first thing people think of is Dirk. In the 2011 playoffs, Nowitzki was always able to enter no one in the fourth quarter of the game, overturning the Big Three of the Heat at the beginning of the formation. But now when it comes to Dallas’s King of the End, except for Yiyang, people will not give a second answer. Killing the game seems to have become Yiyang's patent.

After the opening of the fourth quarter, Carlisle let Yiyang directly face Harden! In the last game, the Mavericks strangled Harden in this way. Today, Yiyang's defense still achieved good results.

For the first offense, Harden was cut off by Yiyang Kuaishou as soon as he raised the basketball to make a shot.

For the second time, Harden broke through for a layup, and Yiyang tried to block and forced Harden to miss the layup without fouling.

In the third attack, Yiyang's death entangled, so Harden had to choose to pass the ball.

The fourth quarter played for nearly 4 minutes. The Rockets had only Howard scored a goal under the basket, and the Mavericks opened the gap slightly by 83 to 77.

Just when everyone thought the Rockets would fall, Harden magically made a shot from the mid-range and didn't let himself crash, chasing the score to 85-87.

Yiyang is panting, Harden and Rockets are really indomitable today. You finally opened the score, and they will catch up again. After finally opening the score, they will catch up again.

Howard and Harden really did their best.

Throughout the fourth quarter, the Mavericks opened the score, and the Rockets kept up with the rhythm of the score. Until the game had 33 seconds left, Harden assisted Howard for a dunk in the air relay. After the Rockets made a wave of 8 to 1, they were only one point behind 98 to 99!

33 seconds, 1 point gap. There is no doubt that the game has entered the stage where it is time to decide life and death! The Mavericks have the ball, they still have the last chance to attack, let the Rockets give up!

Looking at the Mavericks' bench, people don't need to think about it, and it must be Yiyang who performed the final attack! The fact is also true, Yiyang pretended to seek opportunities from beyond the three-point line, but suddenly went to the basket under the cover of Nowitzki!

Howard didn't have that much scrupulousness. Seeing Yiyang hit the penalty area, he jumped like crazy and directly knocked Yiyang to the ground with the ball! Carlisle thought that the game was stable. Yiyang only had to make two free throws and the last defense would block the opponent's shooting point outside the three-point line as planned. The Rockets would definitely have no hope!

However, something unbelievable happened. With Yiyang being so severely violated, the referee did not whistle!

The players on both sides were stunned for a few tenths of a second before they remembered that they were going to compete for basketball! Because everyone, including Howard himself, thought it was a foul!

The referee was a little nervous, he didn't dare to change the situation of the game because of his penalty. In the anxious game, it is not only the players who have ups and downs.

"I Cao, you idiot, you **** pig!" Carlisle yelled, even if he had always been good-tempered, he couldn't tolerate the fatal mistake of the referee. The referee did not give Carlisle a technical foul because of his own losses.

"Also unexpectedly failed to end the game, this is really rare! In any case, the Rockets now have a chance to come back to life!" Kevin Harlan's hand tightly squeezed the corner of his clothes, he was waiting for a miracle to happen!

With Carlisle screaming, Harden took possession of the ball for halftime. He was just about to accelerate the breakthrough, but Yiyang overtook from behind and ran in front of him!

Harden was taken aback, his wide-open eyes said it all. Everyone can see how miserably Yiyang was hit by Howard just now. But Yiyang can bear the pain and make it back so quickly, what an amazing will this is!

Unable to kill the game on the offensive end, Yiyang decided to get everything done on the defensive end!

He gritted his teeth and fixed his eyes on Harden, like a lion ready to tear his opponent apart at any time!

Harden swallowed, it is not that he has not experienced a lore moment. But in the face of Yiyang, Harden felt that the pressure on himself was unprecedented!

Howard picked up the pick-and-roll, but Yiyang stretched out his hand to push it away, preventing Howard from approaching. In the end, Harden broke through through the pick-and-roll. Yiyang didn't directly chase back, because he knew very well that Harden would not really break through. This guy just waited for the defensive player to chase back and then retreat and shoot! Yiyang knows that there is one place Harden resembles himself, that is, they both prefer to retreat jumpers!

So Yiyang squeezed hard from Howard ~www.novelmtl.com~ and sealed Harden flawlessly!

Mike Brin and Kevin Harlan have forgotten to talk, just watching this desperate moment nervously!

Under Yiyang's defense, Harden did not get a chance. His fake moves, the pick-and-rolls of his teammates, all have no effect on Yiyang! Harden can get rid of Yiyang by two steps at most, but whenever he is ready to make a shot, Yiyang will post it again!

Yiyang has completely entered a state of running wild. He can't forgive his miss at a critical moment, although it is actually the referee's pot. Therefore, Yiyang is determined to rely on defense to win the game and make up for his mistakes.

In the last 3.2 seconds, Harden still couldn't get rid of it, but Howard turned away Gobert with a brilliant no ball and cut to the basket. Now, Harden can win the game by throwing the ball into the air and watching Howard beautifully slam the ball in!

However, Harden's basketball had just thrown his hand, Yiyang jumped up with an incredible reaction speed, and grabbed the basketball directly in the palm of his hand!

Everyone was dumbfounded, how did he do it! ? Few people in the entire history of the NBA can achieve this speed of reaction.

Howard hung on the hoop, but he didn't have the ball in his hands. The electronic buzzer sounded, Harden's legs were limp, and he knelt on one knee. In front of him, Yiyang, whose expression is still fierce!

In the end, the Houston Rockets and James Harden still had to surrender to Yiyang!

Mike Brin and Kevin Harlan finally recovered from the thrilling game. They panted as if they were just playing on the court.

"What am I talking about... At the critical moment, no one can perform better than Yi." Mike said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
