One Guard

Chapter 158: Advantages of Rapid Expansion

Yiyang's excellent performance caused Brandon Roy to be replaced by the head coach again. Injuries are terrible for anyone, even the strong Roy is no exception.

After McMillan replaced Wesley Matthews, Carlisle also let Kidd go off and replaced Deshaun Stevenson to continue to limit Matthews.

After returning to the No. 1 position, Yiyang continued to do his job of organizing the offense. Under Yiyang's organization, no player on the Mavericks scored outstandingly, but everyone was able to score.

On the Trail Blazers side, Frenchman Batum's consecutive goals and Aldridge's still excellent performance helped the Trail Blazers continue to bite the score.

When halftime ended, the Mavericks walked into the locker room with a five-point lead. After Roy was replaced in the middle of the second quarter, he didn't get another chance to play. Although the team still needed him in the second half of the game, the "Yellow Mamba" had lost his fighting spirit at this moment.

"Charles, also scored 2 points and 5 assists in the first half of the game, and his performance was much better than the previous two games. Do you think he will be the key to the outcome of the game in the second half?" The players took a break , the narrator cannot stop during this time. Kenny Smith looked at the data of the players of the two teams in the halftime game. Except for Aldridge, Yiyang's 2 points were the highest score so far in the halftime game. Moreover, this guy Yiyang hasn't deliberately attacked on his own. If Carlisle let this guy let go in the second half of the game, God knows how many points he will score in the end. ..

"I don't know about Kenny. In the second half, Coach Carlisle may let Yi play the main offense, but it may also be Dirk. The Mavericks are a team team, and anyone can stand up. All I know is, Those guys who said they hit the rookie wall must be busy thinking about how to justify themselves now. The scoring in this game will be limited to single digits? Hahaha, what a joke!" Barkley knew for the first time that it turned out that It's so refreshing to watch other people slump.

At this time, in the locker room of the home team at the American Airlines Center Arena, Carlisle was drawing lines and tactics on the tactical whiteboard.

"Dirk has already been targeted by the opponent. In the second half of the game, Dirk will not get too many opportunities. Also, I want you to connect the offense of the entire team, make more use of pick-and-roll and running to pull the gap, and send the ball to the target. Opportunities are in the hands of teammates! Jason, you too, pass the ball more, attack patiently, and don’t lose the chain on the offensive end. The opponent’s state is also good in this game. Whoever can’t continue to score at the critical moment will be the loser!” Carlisle said After finishing, rubbed vigorously on the whiteboard with a marker pen.

Yiyang nodded silently. In the third quarter, he will play first before Kidd, and he will set the tone for the second half of the game.

Whether it's the damn media or Andre Miller, whether it's the former idol Roy or the strong Wesley Matthews, they must all be killed now!

Mu Ran's camera has been aimed at the exit of the player tunnel,

Five minutes before the start of the second half, a guy in a Mavericks practice uniform came out with a hood on. Mu Ran pressed the shutter reflexively, and sure enough, Yiyang was the first person to appear on the court today.

"It seems that he is really excited to play today. The voices of those media will not be ignored by this guy. He doesn't like to talk, but it doesn't mean that he will just watch others misunderstand him. Look at Kenny, today is also The performance of hitting the wall will be very exciting." Barkley's voice spread to the ears of fans all over the United States, and now those experts who are not optimistic about Yiyang have become public enemies.

Since the Blazers won the ball in the first quarter, the Blazers kicked off first in the third quarter.

Even though the old Miller didn't contribute much on the offensive end today, Yiyang's defense is still fierce. The battle with Roy has ignited all the passion of this talent show. Roy may not have imagined that he failed to drive his teammates, but he drove his opponent.

Yiyang's close pressing made it very difficult for Miller to get the ball out. Finally, he barely passed the ball to Matthews, but Matthews' emergency stop jump shot was interfered by Stevenson and failed to score.

After Chandler protected the rebound, he went directly to Yiyang, but he found that this time Yiyang was not waiting for the ball in the backcourt, but had already run halfway through the court!

Chandler didn't hesitate, in short, it would definitely not be wrong to hand the ball to that kid! The basketball was like a small sandbag in the hands of this strong man, the big man threw it hard, and the basketball flew towards Yiyang.

Chandler's long pass skill is really not flattering, but Yiyang's speed allows him to unload the ball steadily. Just when the basketball and Yiyang were "running" on the right side of the basketball court, Marion had already cut towards the basket along the left side of the basketball court. The Trail Blazers' retreat was still in a state of panic and confusion.

After Yiyang received the basketball, Marion had already stepped into the three-point line and began to cut inside. Matthews, who retreated the fastest, rushed towards Yiyang.

Either break through by himself or pass the ball to Marion. It seems that Yiyang only has these two offensive options. However, Yiyang's next actions were beyond everyone's expectations!

I saw the No. 1 guard slamming the ball to the ground violently! The old Miller, who was originally preventing Marion from receiving the ball, froze for a moment. Even he, an old fritter, had never done such a thing in a fast break. What on earth is this kid trying to do?

Others couldn't see through Yiyang's mind, but Kidd, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly stood up, staring straight at the basketball that Yiyang threw to the ground.

The basketball bounced violently after hitting the hardwood floor, very high. It seems that this ball is not for Marion.

Everyone in the Trail Blazers thought that Yiyang would pass the ball to Marion, who was participating in the fast break, so they did not defend elsewhere. Just when people were stunned, Tyson Chandler suddenly ran up from behind, caught the rebounding basketball in the air, stretched out his long arms, and slammed it into the frame!

"Wow!" Barkley didn't know how to describe what he just saw, he just opened his mouth and shouted loudly.

"Hahahaha, he did it! This brat! How dare you pass!" Kidd was the first to stand up, waving the towel in his hand, and made an alley-oop with a touchdown pass, which is only seen in the dunk contest. The performance scene that appeared was moved by Yiyang to the arena of the official competition. And Kidd knows very well that the last person who passed this kind of ball on the court was not someone else, but himself in his rookie period!

Unlike Yiyang, Kidd's pass was more difficult because there were more defenders in the middle. After the basketball rebounds, it has to go over the defender's head. But Yiyang has the guts to pass the ball like this, which is already very remarkable. He knew that if Yiyang waited for Chandler to run up before passing, the chance would have disappeared. So pass the ball first and then wait for Chandler to come up by himself, which is Yiyang's idea of ​​choosing to pass the ball in this way.

"Hat!? Hat!? Hit the ground pass alley-oop!? Are you kidding me?" Kenny Smith was also in a mess, and the Trail Blazers players on the field, you look at me , I look at you, you don't even know why you let the other party get such a chance.

After continuing the elbow pass, another pass by Yiyang became a hot topic in the entire league. Although this alley-oop still only allowed the Mavericks to get 2 points, but in terms of morale, the players of the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers have changed.

After the next goal, Aldridge really wanted to respond to the scene just now with a beautiful goal, but he was so impatient that he didn’t grasp the rhythm of his shot. Nowitzki blocked the No. 2 power forward’s shot , Carlisle immediately stood up from his seat and shouted into the arena, this is an opportunity to widen the point difference to double digits!

"Three-pointer! Three-pointer!" Carlisle started shouting a tactic every round. Obviously, this guy wanted to directly reduce the point difference to 0!

After Yiyang heard Carlisle's shout, he slowed down the pace of possession and advancement. Nowitzki is the most capable three-pointer in this lineup, but Nowitzki didn't make a single three-pointer in the first half of the game. Pass.

Yiyang beckoned and motioned for Chandler to pick and roll. Nowitzki understood and was ready to run outside the three-point line.

The old Miller couldn't prevent Yiyang's breakthrough. With Chandler's pick and roll, Miller didn't even have a chance to catch Yiyang's jersey.

Seeing this, Marcus Camby had to switch defenses with Miller, sticking close to Yiyang, who started to break through, and waited for an opportunity to block the shot.

At this time, Nowitzki suddenly started to run to the outside. The German's running instantly attracted the attention of the Blazers' entire defense.

Yiyang, who is breaking through, and Nowitzki, who is running outside the three-point line, these two guys, one inside and one outside, have become the targets of the Trail Blazers!

Sure enough, Yiyang suddenly flicked his wrist after rushing to the basket, and instead of laying up, he scored the ball!

But unexpectedly, the basketball did not fly in the direction of Nowitzki. Nowitzki's running was only for off-ball pick-and-roll. The real end point of this tactic is Marion!

Batum was greatly delayed by Nowitzki's screen, and Marion's unexpected finisher wasn't surrounded by any past coverage. The basketball just flew to the left corner, and after receiving the ball, Marion used his weird shooting posture to "push" the ball towards the basket.

Although the posture is a bit weird, Marion's shooting percentage is not low. What's more, Yiyang and Nowitzki also created an open shot opportunity for him like a shooting practice.

"Swipe!" Under the spotlight, the basketball went into the net. On the big screen at the scene, the score of the two sides also officially became 0.

"The score was widened, and it wasn't long before the second half when Coach McMillan called a timeout. Also, he made it all up with two great passes and two successful defenses. Blazers have to fight back ASAP , because also, he will not stop."

At the beginning of the second half, Yiyang laid a solid foundation for the Mavericks. The beginning of another winning streak and the breakthrough of the rookie wall, today Yiyang will have both things in his pocket at the same time!
