One Guard

Chapter 141: The Rhythm Master of Salt Lake City

In 2320, in the youth storm between Yiyang and Hayward, the fierce confrontation between the two sides in the first quarter made the fans very hooked. -79小说网- And the excellent performances of Yiyang and Hayward made Steve in front of the TV stand up and raise his arms to cheer for his two disciples as if he was at the scene.

"Coach Jerry Sloan is really discerning. Today he suddenly increased Hayward's playing time. As a result, the young white forward really lived up to Coach Sloan's expectations. He scored 7 points and 2 assists in a single quarter. If there is no Hayward, the Jazz may not be only 3 points behind now. I am looking forward to the next game, how will Coach Sloan make Hayward's potential to the extreme?"

Although Mike Breen in the commentary seat caught Jerry Sloan and praised him fiercely, the old man was actually surprised that Hayward was able to perform as well as in training in the official game.

But he also knows that a large part of the reason is that the Mavericks did not do anything to defend Hayward. Look at Marion's absent-minded defense against Hayward. If a defensive champion like Marion is woken up by Carlisle, then the subsequent games will only become more and more difficult for Hayward.

Sloan didn't dare take any chances, so he decided to put the ball in the hands of someone with more certainty.

Watching Jerry Sloan arrange tactics for his two twin towers, Hayward was still a little disappointed. He had clearly performed so well, but Sloan didn't even have a word of praise.

Carlisle, on the other hand, is a completely different coach than Sloan. He will not ignore his rookie players, but reuse them.

"In the second quarter, I want you to put more 'energy' on the defensive end! Restrict Deron Williams and don't let him score comfortably. This guy has had a lot of trouble with Sloan recently, If he behaves abnormally, maybe Sloan will directly put him on the bench. Also, be smart and don't be deceived by his rhythm change." Carlisle was the first to talk to Yiyang, and Yiyang nodded slightly, perhaps many young people Defenders have a strong desire to attack, but dismissive of defense. But for Yiyang, defense and offense are equally important.

Do all the adjustments, and the holiday break is almost over. Players from both sides re-entered the field. Yiyang replaced Kidd as the starter in the second quarter, while Hayward, who performed "excellently" in the first quarter, was snubbed by Sloan on the bench. It seems that Hayward's performance in the first quarter still cannot make the old Sloan, who has never trusted rookies much, change his mind.

It is too late for Yiyang to complain about Hayward, the fat No. 8 Jazz in front of him is what Yiyang should worry about now.

In the first quarter, Yiyang was more often confronted with that old villain Raja Bell. But Delong and Yiyang also faced him for a short time.

For this guard,

Yiyang Xin's evaluation is smart. Although Deron himself has good scoring ability, Deron is still the kind of point guard who puts passing first. At least in this point, Delong and Yiyang are very similar.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Jazz took the lead in attacking. Deron Williams was gesturing just after halftime, Yiyang lowered his center of gravity and opened his arms in front of No. 8.

Delong had heard the old man say that he should be careful of the "Talent Flower" show, and his ears were almost full of cocoons. Therefore, he did not take it lightly, but faced this newcomer from China with his most serious attitude.

Delong suddenly straightened his back and paused his steps, as if he was about to break through, but his wrist suddenly shook!

The basketball quickly passed by Yiyang's ears and flew into the hands of Raja Bell who came to meet him. After Bell received the ball, he quickly took the ball again, and Millsap, who was out of the distance, caught and shot.

Nowitzki failed to keep up with this extremely fast transfer rhythm, and was scored by Millsap, who is also good at shooting.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Deron executed the old Sloan's tactics well. Let the inside line be the end point. Although Deron didn't directly assist, he helped his teammates complete everything.

Delong can deceive Yiyang with changes in his rhythm, and Yiyang also has his own advantage, that is speed!

Deron's lateral movement is not fast. If you add a little pick-and-roll, it is not difficult to break through his defense. Yiyang has practiced this point in the first quarter with a dunk after breaking through.

But in the second quarter, the Jazz's defense against Yiyang was significantly strengthened. Jerry Sloan is not the kind of coach who watches the opponent's player score and remains indifferent. Even if you fall, Jerry Sloan will restrict you!

This time, Yiyang once again used the pick-and-roll to break through "De Fatty", but when he passed his matchup, he found that Al Jefferson, who was originally defending Chandler, switched to him. At the same time, Deron crossed in front of Chandler, blocking Yiyang's pass to Chandler.

Yiyang looked at Chandler, only to see Chandler's left finger pointing lightly towards the sky.

The No. 1 defender immediately understood. He looked in the direction of Nowitzki on the left, but threw the ball directly into the air.

Al Jefferson didn't know what Yiyang wanted to do, but he still raised his arms high. Watching the ball pass Jefferson's fingertips, Deron, as a point guard, immediately understood the intention of the ball. But Chandler behind Deron has jumped high, it's too late!

Under the huge height gap, Deron failed to intercept the basketball. Chandler firmly grasped Yiyang's pass with both hands, and then directly dunked it into the frame!

"Boom!" The basket groaned in pain, and Tyson Chandler slapped himself on the chest after landing. This beast seemed to tear apart everything that stood in its way.

"Being by Yi's side, Tyson seems to be able to complete one or two lobs every game. The Jazz's defense this time is actually very beautiful, but Yi's passing will always find the weakness of the defense!"

Deron Williams shook his head. If Sloan asked him to limit Yiyang's scoring, he could pat his chest and say that he could do it. But if you want him to restrict Yiyang from helping the team score, it is almost impossible to accomplish.

Two attacks, two goals. Although neither Delong nor Yiyang scored, the battle between them has actually begun to become fierce.

After the Jazz's counterattack, Yiyang still stuck Deron very hard. Deron is the kind of defender who relies on rhythm to break through, so Yiyang is not afraid that Deron will step past him.

"Hmph, young man!" Seeing Yiyang defending himself like this, the corners of Delong's mouth twitched slightly. He first slowly switched the ball from his left hand to his right, and Yiyang thought that Delong just wanted to push it to the right.

However, in the next second, Delong, who was originally slow, suddenly changed direction to the left! The speed of this blow and the sudden change of rhythm completely exceeded Yiyang, a rookie's expectation.

But Yiyang did not give up, his sensitive nerves still forced his legs to move laterally to block them. Yiyang succeeded, he didn't let Delong slip away from him directly, but had physical contact with this guy.

But at this time, the advantages of Deron's "huge" body were revealed. "De Fatty"'s strength at the top of the guard made him squeeze Yiyang away abruptly, and then strode towards the inside.

Seeing this situation, Chandler immediately defended the basket. Deron wasn't so stupid as to confront Chandler. After stepping into the three-second zone, he used a soft throw to avoid confrontation with Chandler and successfully scored the ball!

"A Deron Williams-style goal!" Mike Breen is still intoxicated by Deron's 'exquisite' rhythm changes, and his roar has spread this 'passion' to every Ball 'fan' living room.

After Delong scored a goal, he looked at Yiyang, as if to say: "Rookie, don't think that you can be so lucky every time, you can just happen to be in a bad state when the pool star is not good."

"How about I come." Kidd, who was sitting off the court, was a little worried when he saw this scene. Deron Williams' breakthrough is the top in the league. Maybe his speed is not as exaggerated as Wade and Paul and others, but a person who can use rhythm, maybe a person who only has speed is more terrifying.

Deron thought that after being beaten by himself, the rookie would definitely do his best to save face. However, Yiyang's cold expression made Delong even doubt whether this guy had any emotions.

When Deron was ready to block Yiyang's breakthrough, Yiyang passed the ball directly to Nowitzki who was in a good position. Nowitzki singles Millsap, this is the easiest question to send points.

The German advanced two steps to "trick" Millsap to sit back and then suddenly retreated for a jumper, which made the Jazz's starting power forward too late to react. Naturally, the Mavericks once again maintained their lead.

Deron looked back and saw that the rookie defender had retreated to his own half, then lowered his center of gravity, opened his arms, and waited for his arrival.

"Damn it!" Looking at the rookie who didn't have any waves in his heart, Delong was a little anxious. As long as the opponent's mentality does not collapse, Deron knows that his offense will only become more and more difficult.

The second time, Delong tricked Yiyang's center of gravity into breaking through by using a quick start, stop and start again. But this time, Delong could clearly feel that Yiyang's reaction was a lot faster just now. This rookie is gradually adapting to his own offensive rhythm!

This time, the Mavericks' lineup shrunk even faster. Although Deron couldn't score by himself, he still passed the ball to Kirilenko as if there was a gap.

Kirilenko was a little frightened by Hayward's performance in the first quarter. He knew that if he went down again, he might lose his starting position.

So this Russian forward, who has experienced injuries and has passed his peak period, hit the basket hard, relying on his wingspan advantage to rely on Marion's tough basket to succeed.

Jerry Sloan waved his fist lightly. This is the attack his team should play! Sloan really doesn't like Hayward's shooting forward.

With Deron Williams' performance getting better and better, the Jazz not only filled the point difference, but also successfully completed the overtake in the eighth minute of the second quarter.

Although Kidd played again after that, he still couldn't stop Deron's crazy pace.

With his scoring and assists, the Mavericks' defense was riddled with holes. Yiyang has faced many star point guards so far, but this time against Deron is the only time Yiyang was completely overwhelmed by a star.

At the end of the half, the points between the two sides became 4953. The Jazz, who were originally 3 points behind, now returned to the locker room with a 4-point lead.

During the break, ESPN reporters stopped Yiyang before he walked into the tunnel. Deron Williams scored 12 points and 6 assists in the first half, while Yiyang only scored 7 points and 4 assists. Although the difference is not that big according to the statistics, but judging from the scene, Yiyang is completely helpless against Delong. This huge contrast is why ESPN decided to interview Yiyang.

"How do you think you were completely suppressed by Deron Williams at halftime?" Facing a rookie, the reporters would not save face for Yiyang. This question can be said to hit the nail on the head.

"The match isn't over yet." Yi Yang left the camera lens after leaving this sentence.

Perhaps judging from the scene, Yiyang and even Kidd have nothing to do with Deron. But only Delong himself knows that the pressure brought by that calm rookie is getting bigger and bigger.

In the second half of the game, Dang Yiyang fully adapted to Delong's rhythm. Delong himself doesn't know whether he can turn the tide.

As Yiyang said, the game is not over yet. It's not certain who will win the deer...
