One Guard

Chapter 172: It's my turn to play the cards

"I'm done eating, Mom!" At 7:30 in the evening, Mudiay put down the knife and fork on time, and ran to the TV.

Although the game between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers will be broadcast in prime time at 8 p.m., T.NT TV will start the live broadcast half an hour earlier. In addition to the stage of interviewing players, it is also very interesting to listen to the commentators talk about their views on the game.

"Is there a game today?" Mudiay's mother put away the plate and sat in front of the TV with great interest.

When Mudiay Jr. switched the channel to T.NT TV station, the game screen immediately appeared on the TV screen. Mudiay thought the match had already started, but after a closer look, wasn't this the video of the last match between the two sides a month ago?

At this time, what is being broadcast on TV is Yiyang's wonderful performance in the last 30 seconds of the last game against the Trail Blazers.

Yiyang first made a steady mid-range shot under Aldridge's supplementary defense, widening the point difference to four points.

After that, he completed an unexpected steal on the defensive end, which made the Trail Blazers completely lose hope of winning.

This short 30 seconds can be said to be the essence of that game. And T.NT chose to play the video of the last 30 seconds of that game now, obviously for a purpose.

"Did you see Charles, the performance in the last game and the last moment was simply wonderful. Today, I am looking forward to his performance. Maybe he can block Aldridge twice in a row?" After the video was played, the TV The faces of Barkley and Kenny Smith appeared on the screen. Sure enough, this video was an introduction for the two to cut into the topic.

"The game you're talking about is already a month ago. What I want to say is that in the Blazers game against the Rockets the day before yesterday, Aldridge's performance was not bad. Today the Mavericks are empty at the 4th position. I think Aldridge Odd may score another super high score." The fat-headed Barkley has a different opinion from Kenny Smith. Yiyang's last 30-second performance was indeed very exciting. It can be said that this season is the best so far. One of the classic one game. But those 30 seconds didn't mean that Yiyang would definitely be able to repeat his last success today.

Before the game even started, Barkley and Kenny Smith had whetted the appetite of the fans. This is where the value of these two guys lies. As long as they are there, T.NT TV station does not have to worry about the NBA games they broadcast live.

Now, what fans are very concerned about is what kind of starting lineup the Mavericks will arrange to deal with Aldridge. Finally, one minute before the start of the game, each TV station played the starting list of both sides.

For the Trail Blazers, due to Roy's indefinite injury, Frenchman Nicolas Batum was mentioned by McMillan to start. Batum's starting performance in the last two games has been very good, and the Trail Blazers' starting list does not seem to be picky.

However, in the next second, when the Mavericks' starting roster was announced, many people's eyes widened.

Carlisle let Kidd and Terry take the lead in starting the back line, and Deshaun Stevenson, the defensive champion, was pushed to the third position. As for the power forward position, Carlisle actually sent Marion, who was only a little over 2 meters tall!

"You're dead!" McMillan was overjoyed as he watched the five starters of the Mavericks step onto the court. Marion defending Aldridge, who is ten centimeters taller than himself? What a joke!

"A large and four small lineup, it seems that Coach Carlisle intends to rely on offense to fight against the Trail Blazers. But it is worth mentioning that Coach Carlisle is still placed on the bench by Coach Carlisle. We all know that Coach Carlisle is A coach who attaches great importance to the role of the sixth man. I think the real key to the tactics of the Mavericks today may be precisely the sixth man!"

Under the analysis of the narrators, the referee threw the ball high into the air, and this game that made all the Mavericks fans nervous finally began.

Today, "Boxing Champion" Tyson was a little distracted during the jump ball stage,

He failed to react immediately, so the basketball was taken away by Marcus Camby first.

As soon as the game opened, the Trail Blazers got an offensive opportunity. McMillan stood excitedly on the sidelines. He couldn't wait to see the Mavericks' defense crushed by him.

The old Miller dribbled the ball quickly after halftime, and the basketball finally hit Aldridge after being guided by several people.

Marion looked so short in front of Aldridge, a tall and thin guy, the Trail Blazers No. 12 didn't dribble, but turned over and shot a jumper!

A big dislocation, leaving Aldridge barely disturbed. The basketball was hollow into the net, and Aldridge took the lead in attacking, allowing the Trail Blazers to take the lead!

"Fragile defense, if this continues, LaMarcus can score 40 points tonight!" Barkley yelled, Marion really is not Aldridge's opponent at all.

Although he lost the ball, Carlisle looked very calm. He didn't yell at the court, but just crossed the sidelines with his arms folded, as if everything was under control.

Subsequently, the Mavericks' offense returned to Kidd's hands after a series of cooperation. Kidd made a mid-range jumper, but the ball knocked out of the frame. It seems that the old Kidd's hand feeling will not be very good today.

McMillan waved his arms excitedly like a clown in a circus, signaling the team to counterattack quickly. Looking at Carlisle again, this guy is still calm.

The offense passed, and the Frenchman Batum made a solid shot from the bottom corner. It's a pity that the Frenchman's toes guessed the three-point line, so the referee only gave the Trail Blazers two points in the end. But just two rounds, the situation is already quite dangerous for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks have been suppressed by the Blazers in this way, until 5 minutes into the first quarter, the Blazers have widened the point difference to 5 points. At this time, Carlisle finally called to stop the game.

McMillan, who took the lead, was sweating profusely. He didn't know what that guy Carlisle wanted to do. He didn't seem to be in a hurry when the team was under pressure. Unknowingly, the pressure that originally belonged to Carlisle fell on McMillan's shoulders.

"Okay, everyone is doing well. Jason, it's been hard work, let's rest for a few minutes. Also, you know what to do. We have rehearsed it many times in the past few days. The only thing to remember is that you must not Disrupt yourself!" Carlisle finished speaking and looked at Yiyang, this kid must hold on.

"Go!" Carlisle patted Yiyang's shoulder, and at the same time the timeout just ended.

On the Trail Blazers side, McMillan replaced the out-of-breath veteran Miller with Australian defender Patrick Mills on top. In the next second, the American Airlines Center Arena suddenly became restless.

McMillan took a closer look, and the Chinese came on the field!

"This reminds me of my time in Phoenix." Marion looked at Yiyang, and after saying this, he sent a baseline shot.

Yiyang catches the ball and runs, not trotting, but speeding through the half court! The Blazers' defense was not ready yet, and Yiyang had already reached beyond the three-point line.

I saw this Tanhuaxiu suddenly hit the ball and passed the ball to the left corner. A second ago, there was no one in that position, but when the ball arrived, Stevens, who was playing the third position today, rushed over and caught the basketball.

Batum had just adjusted his center of gravity in front of Stevens with small steps. Stevens had less than a second to hold the ball, but passed the ball again.

This time, Stevens made a light pass to the right, and Marion, who ran up from behind after serving the baseline ball, received the basketball, and immediately took off without saying a word!

"What the hell!?" McMillan's eyes widened. Is this Carlisle's tactic? It's just messing around!

Aldridge, who was defending Marion, also jumped up, but the basketball did not fly in a parabolic trajectory, but passed through Aldridge's raised hands!

"It's not shooting, it's passing!" Kenny Smith yelled, pointing at the basketball.

The basketball passed through Aldridge and went straight to the right corner. Australian defender Mills made a mistake in reading the Mavericks' offense. He thought Marion was going to shoot, so he slowed down his defense against Yiyang.

Yiyang came out quickly and caught the basketball. At this time, Mills was two or three steps away from Yiyang. Naturally, the Australians took great strides forward, hoping to catch up in time!

After receiving the ball, Yiyang looked down at his toes to make sure he didn't step on the three-point line. Then hold the ball with both hands, stand on tiptoe, and jump to shoot.

Although Yiyang's three-pointer is not considered a lethal weapon, it is still very dangerous to let him go so big.

When Mills leaped high to block it, the corners of Yiyang's mouth twitched slightly. The soles of his feet suddenly touched the ground, and he kicked suddenly. It was just a fake move! When defensive players are far away from their goals, most of the time they will try their best to block instead of thinking about other things. Mills, too!

Yiyang took advantage of this to successfully point the Australian away, and then went straight to the penalty area along the bottom line!

"LaMarcus was pulled out by Marion, and now only Camby guards the basket!" Kenny Smith spoke very fast, because the Mavericks played this ball very fast. Everyone passed the ball almost as soon as they touched it, stretching the Blazers defense wide.

Camby managed to get rid of the entanglement with Chandler, but Yiyang, who was as fast as lightning, had already killed him.

Seeing the yellow-skinned and black-haired guard jumping straight away, Camby was not to be outdone, he straightened his arms and jumped high.

Just when Camby was about to block the shot, Yiyang pulled the ball down, avoided the block, and flew under the basket.

When gliding to the other side of the basket, Yiyang, who was in the air with his back to the basket, gently sent the ball up. The basketball "obediently" fell into the net, and the pulling action was completed smoothly.

"Elegant layup!" Seeing Yiyang effortlessly throwing the ball in with a lever, the first word that came to Kenny Smith's mind was elegance. Yiyang's movements are very gentle and done very easily, as if playing under the basketball hoop in his own backyard.

"Marcus Camby can't touch the basketball at all, and he has already made plans. See? The Mavericks are going to start!" Barkley smirked. The sixth man is Carlisle's today. True ace!

After the goal, Carlisle applauded lightly. Although this goal made the fans in the stands almost boil, but the academic coach knew that Yiyang's true role had not yet been manifested.

With four perimeter players and a Chandler who can run and jump, today, Carlisle will also make the American Airlines Center Arena a veritable "highway"!
