One Guard

Rudy Gobert, who entered the league in 2013, is now just a second-year rookie. But Rudy is more like a championship-level center than Mozgov.

Indeed, he doesn't have a good touch, and he can't open up room for the team like Yao Ming or Love Love. He also doesn't have superb low post skills, and can't make the opponent dizzy in the three-second zone like Olajuwon. At the same time, Gobert is not like O'Neal and Chamberlain, he is easily restricted on the offensive end.

Probably for these reasons, Gobert, who had high expectations of himself, was not selected until the 27th overall. You know, 13 is still a draft year. With the 27th overall pick in the first round, there is not much difference in the second round of other years.

The results of it? As a result, he is now the "suffocation tower" of the Dallas Mavericks. He may not be able to attack, or he may not have a good touch and superb skills, but his blocking has caused opponents to return without success again and again.

Andre Iguodala, the star player most unlike a star. A strange flower with the strength of a star, but with the heart of a role player.

Support, defense, screen...As long as you don't ask him to score, he is willing to do anything. The strong Iguodala has always been a pioneer on the defensive end. Warriors coach Steve Kerr has never concealed his love for Iguodala. But such a strong player now only wants to play for the Dallas Mavericks.

Tony Allen, maybe you didn't even know how this guy made it to the NBA when you first met him. Can't shoot, can't score, and don't have dazzling butterfly steps. As an outside, you don't even know what else he can do. But once you start defending, you can see Tony Allen shining brightly. The never-ending entanglement, the never-giving floor ball scramble, and the superstars are at a loss. This year, at the age of 32, he was once again selected as the best defense team! Tony Allen is very popular in Memphis, but now, he is undoubtedly the darling of Dallas.

Dwyane Wade, his knee injury makes him no better than before, but the experience accumulated over the years in the league has given him a very strong predictive ability. Judge the opponent's next move in advance and give a reaction, Wade's defense is not easy for everyone to break through.

However, Yiyang, he is more like a combination of the above four people. Top-level predictive ability, terrifying blocking ability, always able to entangle the opponent and never give up, was selected as the best defensive team for the third consecutive year! It's hard to imagine that a guy with yellow skin and black hair can do the best perimeter defense in the NBA, a league of birds and beasts.

Kobe said that he enjoys fighting with Yiyang the most. Lillard claimed that Yiyang's defense is something he has never seen in his career. Even Chris Paul is used to being only selected for the second team.

Each of the above five people can become the defensive pillar of a team. But the scary thing about the Mavericks is that they can put the above five people on the field at the same time to create a super "iron wall" that no one can beat! Carlisle's defensive pursuit has reached its peak!

Therefore, even LeBron James, with such a super defensive lineup, is helpless.

Since the Mavericks began to play a major or four minor in the first quarter, the Cavaliers have never taken a lead again. LeBron James and Irving's singles scoring can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. They need a series of smooth offenses to climax, instead of being forced to make a shot in the last few seconds.

But playing an offensive climax in front of the Mavericks defense is almost a fantasy. Only the Rockets and Warriors, two teams that are not in line with common sense, can do it. But so what? Even if the Rockets and Warriors can play an offensive climax in front of the Mavericks, their two teams combined will only win the Mavericks by one game.

James and Owen have been struggling to chase points, but whenever they looked up at the big screen, they found that the difference has never been reduced.

In the eighth minute of the second quarter, James signaled everyone to open, he wanted to try to solve the problem with his personal ability.

Smith tried very hard to run out of the open space to share the pressure for James, but Tony... can feel it, that guy is too tight!

Irving used a reverse run to go beyond the three-point line on the right bottom corner and was about to raise his hand for the ball, but Yiyang rushed over again without giving Irving any space.

Owen fell into deep despair. Is there no action in this world that can make Yiyang shake?

Of course, Irving once swayed Yiyang's center of gravity in the last game. Of course, that can only be done when Irving has the ball. In terms of running off the ball, Yiyang himself is an expert, so he knows the opponent's next move very well.

James broke through, James scored 44 points in the previous game, and James has already scored 13 points in this game. From the data point of view, Iguodala does not seem to limit James' play at all. From the data point of view, James seems to have no effect. But from the scene, James was really embarrassed.

It is impossible for superstars to be limited in terms of data, but if they can reduce their offensive efficiency, it is already a successful defense!

James desperately went inside, throwing the ball to the hoop before being exhausted, and scoring in front of him. With every attack, the Cavaliers played extremely hard!

After the Mavericks attacked, there were two different scenarios.

Yiyang Xianting walked through halftime, and also played twice with his crotch to change hands. Afterwards, he handed the ball to Iguodala and ran away quickly!

James sticks in front of Iguodala like his wife. He knows very well that when dealing with a guy like Iguodala, you can't even pass the ball to him casually!

Wade came up to respond, and Iguodala fought with Iguodala. Iguodala took the opportunity to block, delaying Owen, and Wade broke through immediately!

James immediately changed defense, and again, he and Wade faced each other. But Wade is still very calm, he has already passed the age when he is bound to decide the outcome with the opponent. Wade now only wants to put the overall situation first.

Wade passed the ball, and Iguodala, who cut away from the defender, rushed toward the basket after receiving the ball!

Tristan reinforces the defense nervously to the basket, James also put aside Wade and blocked the past.

Iguodala averaged 8.8 points per game during the regular season, but after entering the playoffs and being assigned to the sixth man position, his scoring average immediately jumped to 15.6 points! Iguodala is definitely a very efficient scoring point, but this guy habitually pretends to be dead during the regular season.

But just when everyone thought Iguodala was about to hit the basket, the strong forward used a soft pass to transport the "ammunition" beyond the three-point line.

Beyond the three-point line, Yiyang took advantage of Gobert's off-the-ball screen to throw off Australian De La Vedova and received the basketball and went straight out.

As the three-pointer who broke the highest scoring record in the NBA three-point contest this year, Yiyang's open three-point ability is very stable. With the knife up and down, the basketball hollowed into the net. This kind of easy and free scoring opportunity, the Cavaliers hit it at all! On the Mavericks side, most of the goals were scored in this kind of open space.

On offensive points, both Irving and James are super scorers. On the other hand, the Mavericks, it seems that only Yiyang can be called a "scorer." Although other people occasionally have high scores, they still can't compare with Irving and James in terms of offensive power. What's more, the Mavericks also have Gobert and Tony Allen in this lineup that completely skew the skill tree.

But the firepower of the Mavericks seems to be more fierce than the Cavaliers. In fact, it does not depend on offense, but on defense!

In the face of the Mavericks defense, the Cavaliers even have two scorers to no avail. As for the Mavericks, everyone can get a chance to score easily. It can be said that everyone is a soldier.

The emotional Blatter told himself that everything was not over yet, and the game had to be played. But rationally he has already admitted that he and the knight have no way out.

"With a three-pointer, the Dallas Mavericks officially expanded the point difference to double digits! Once the point difference is opened by the Mavericks, it is difficult to catch up! The Cavaliers spent all 48 minutes chasing the capital in the last game. Did not catch up. Defense is a big problem, the Cavaliers' defense is too easy to be cracked by the Mavericks!"

Looking at the 11-point difference on the big screen, James felt that he had never been so tired. But for the O'Brien Cup, what does this count! ?

The enemies of James seem to be constantly getting stronger. The Pistons swept the East by the five-man team, and the iron defense was frightening. In the 05-06 season when the Pistons became the league's top spot, James made the playoffs for the first time in the playoffs. Unfortunately, the game was out. But a wave of unsettled waves has risen again. Following Duncan’s old monster’s "The future is yours", the group of Garnett, Ray Allen and Pierce has become an insurmountable chasm for James. Warcraft also makes the Cavaliers helpless. .

Finally, James formed his own Big Three, and the Green Army was disbanded. The Spurs are getting old, Kobe is about to retire, the Thunder are always driving high and low, Howard is gradually sinking... James thought that his own era has finally arrived. Until last season, Yiyang brought the Dallas Mavericks back.

James has survived so many difficulties, and he is unwilling to lose to this sudden Chinese. As a result, James began an even crazier offense, and began to attack endlessly.

By the end of the third quarter, the exhausted James began to hit the iron continuously. The Mavericks took this opportunity to play a wave of 10 to 2 offensive climax. Before the start of the third quarter, the Mavericks abruptly widened the point difference to 20 points.

David Blatter sat on the bench at the end of the third quarter. This game was basically over.

Throughout the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers rolled in the mud. They want to drag the Mavericks into the water, but they simply can't do it!

James didn't take 50 shots today, but 35 shots were almost the same as the 38 shots in the previous game. Just offense, James must pay a lot of physical strength, not to mention he has to defend.

Basketball is indeed very easy to be influenced by the stars. But it is always a five-person movement, no matter how strong one person is, when there is a bottleneck.

Today, the more exhausted James only shot 31.4%~www.novelmtl.com~ Iguodala overfulfilled the task, completely obliterating the Cavaliers’ hope of equalizing the score.

Not the hope of equalizing the score of this game, but the hope of equalizing the score of the entire series...

In the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, Yiyang made a cold-blooded shot on the outside, which widened the point difference to 25 points. This expressionless Chinese is like an assassin with no emotion, leaving no opportunity for the knight to struggle.

32 points and 14 assists, limiting Irving to only 13 points. A great team usually has a great leader. Yiyang has achieved the ultimate balance between the team and the individual.

Blatter replaced all the main players and had no intention of fighting again. This also means that the Dallas Mavericks advanced five minutes to make the series total score 2-0. The Cavaliers' five small lineups can't save this irreversible decline.

Since Yiyang joined the Mavericks, as long as the Mavericks took a 2-0 lead, they have never been overturned.

The Cleveland Cavaliers could not break this curse. Yiyang's third O'Brien Cup in his career is already beckoning him.
