One Guard

Chapter 183: Fist close at hand

The stadium was in chaos, and the noisy shouting of the fans in the stands made the chaotic atmosphere even worse.

Hugging is nothing to a "recidivist" like Artest. This guy spread his hands at the referee, as if saying that this is just a routine defensive action. In Artest's eyes, hugging and wrestling are as common as saying hello to each other.

Artest's innocent expression, if it weren't for the too much action just now, the referee might have believed his nonsense.

But it was obvious that the referee on duty did not intend to let Artest go just like that. He was about to give the Lakers giant a first-level malicious foul, but just in the middle of the gesture, the referee suddenly stopped his actions and brought Running towards Artest with terrified eyes!

At the same time, several Mavericks players and Lakers players wearing golden jerseys all began to rush towards the bewildered Lakers Titan. Artest found that people seemed to be looking behind him, so he turned his head subconsciously. It was good not to turn his head, but when he turned his head, Artest saw a powerful fist suddenly hit him in front of his eyes!

Sweat dripped down Artest's cheeks onto the wooden floor. This was not the sweat from Artest's exhaustion, but the cold sweat from being frightened!

At this moment, Yiyang's fist was only a hair's breadth away from Artest's nose. This "beast" who was flaunting his power just now stayed in place without moving, and he could even clearly see the clear lines on Yiyang's fist. The fist stopped just like that, before his eyes.

Taking a closer look, Artest found that Terry was holding Yiyang's arm, so he didn't let his fist hit him. If Terry was a second late, Artest's face would have "completely" received this powerful punch! Although Artest is not afraid of fighting, he also knows that if this punch really hits him, then his "handsome" face will be completely blossomed!

"Are you crazy!?" Seeing that Yiyang still refused to show his strength, Terry shouted in the rookie's ear.

At the same time, players from both sides and the referee on duty had already surrounded the scene, and the chaos in the scene escalated again.

The players of the Mavericks gathered around one after another, planning to ask the referee and Artest for an explanation. The players of the Lakers also had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and quickly pulled Artest away who was in a daze. They all know Artest's stinky temper, and he can fight with others for a little thing. The Lakers don't want Staples Center to become the next Palace of Auburn Hills.

Although Artest was rude, he was still very important to the Lakers on the court. ?Responding from the unexpected incident just now, Artest, who was cursing at Yiyang, was surrounded by the Lakers players, separating those angry Mavericks players. ??The scene was chaotic, and the referee had to blow the whistle forcefully again and again to remind the players to calm down.

?

Of course, Yiyang was naturally pulled to the outermost edge of the crowd by Terry. This guy didn't show a very angry expression, his indifferent look would make you think that all this has nothing to do with him. But in fact, he is one of the protagonists of this conflict.

Yiyang will not write his anger on his face, nor will he spout trash talk under the protection of his teammates like Artest? But this guy's fist is never soft!

Malicious foul, this is the bottom line that Yiyang can bear. Artest's embrace and fall has obviously exceeded Yiyang's tolerance.

"Stinky boy, if you hit him with that punch just now, then you don't need to fight this match!" Terry was still yelling in Yiyang's ear, remembering the moment of the close call, Terry was still in shock. If I take a step back, God knows what kind of punishment Yiyang will receive. Maybe at that time, it will not be as simple as a one-match ban.

With the efforts of the referees, the players on both sides finally dispersed and did not continue to get entangled. Kobe played a very good comprehensive role in it. He persuaded Nowitzki and others to leave with good words, because he knew that this was indeed Artest's fault, and the Lakers were at a loss. But at the same time, Kobe was protecting his teammates and did not abandon him easily.

The reporters raised their cameras one by one, and the sound of the shutter "clicking" kept ringing. The group of people who are shouting on the field are not players. In the eyes of the reporters, they are clearly green money.

Seeing that the situation on the court was under control, the referee also made his own judgment. A first-level malicious foul will not only allow Artest to be punished by the league after the game, but also give the Mavericks a chance to make two free throws and one throw.

In order to calm the atmosphere of the scene, the scene of Yiyang knocking down Fisher during the high-speed advance was played back on the big screen just now, so that the fans and players could try their best to refocus on basketball. It's just that the "old fish" is pitiful, with black lines all over his face.

Of course, Nowitzki is still dissatisfied with this penalty. He felt that Artest should be directly sentenced to a second-degree malicious foul and directly expelled from the game.

"For God's sake, George, if it weren't for my teammate's physical strength, that foul would be enough to hurt people!" The German was still pestering the referee.

"I know it's a nasty foul, but it's not easy to balance the game. I've made a decision for Dirk, get out!" The referee doesn't care how great the player is talking to him, he has to be tough Get up to control the scene.

Carlisle was afraid that Yiyang's mood had not stabilized, so the two free throws were handed over to Terry, who was the calmest just now.

Terry successfully made two free throws, reducing the difference between the two sides to only 3 points. And the Mavericks still have an offensive opportunity to throw the ball, which also means that they will very likely tie the score in one fell swoop!

While the referee was urging the Mavericks players to serve the sideline, Kobe pulled Artest aside and whispered a few words. The fierce "beast" just nodded at the moment, like a docile little cat.

Nowitzki also pulled Yiyang to his side and whispered a few words. Yiyang didn't have such a rich expression as Artest, but just listened quietly with his hips crossed.

The two team leaders said the same thing, nothing more than reminding their teammates to focus on basketball and stop causing trouble.

Artest is a fierce wing defender, and his murderous look may help the defense. But Yiyang is a point guard who controls the direction of the team. If he's not calm, it's going to be a tough time for the Mavericks.

When the Mavericks were about to serve, Kobe looked up at Yiyang. All of this started when Yiyang sealed himself. That rookie actually defended himself in the "next round"!

This time, Kobe couldn't laugh.

Marion sent the ball from the sideline, and Yiyang steadily controlled the ball two steps away from the three-point line. It looked like everything was back to normal.

But people seem to have forgotten one of Yiyang's traits, he always pays his debts! A first-level malicious foul, obviously unable to repay the damage done to Yiyang by the hug. But now Yiyang doesn't speak with his fists, but with the basketball in his hands.

Seeing that Nowitzki got rid of Gasol and went out of the three-point line, Yiyang did not hesitate and immediately took the ball.

The German just wanted to shoot after receiving the ball, but found that the fierce Artest had defended him.

Artest defends Nowitzki, so Kobe will naturally block Marion. When Kobe blocked Marion, Fisher immediately left Yiyang, who was far away from the three-point line, and made up for Terry. And Gasol spread his arms across the three-point line, and he came to defend Yiyang!

Contrary to Nowitzki's sluggish state, the Spanish Tower played very excitedly today. His tight defense is also one of the reasons for Nowitzki's poor performance.

Although it is misplaced, Gasol, who is in good condition, is not so easy to deal with.

Seeing that there was no chance, Nowitzki passed the ball to Terry. Yiyang was temporarily on the weak side, and temporarily disappeared from the Lakers' key defensive list.

Just when people's focus was on Fisher and Terry, Yiyang suddenly started to move. With his extremely fast speed and flexible body, he easily got rid of Gasol's follow-up defense.

Terry forced a drive along the baseline and looked as if he was going to single Fisher. In fact, it was he who saw Yiyang's running position and was attracting defense for his teammates.

Seeing that Yiyang was about to go out of the three-point line, the Lakers' defense began to shrink. Terry didn't wait any longer, he suddenly stopped to pass the ball and hit the ball again.

"What are you doing!? Outside the three-point line, outside the three-point line!" Kobe pushed Artest hard, and Artest realized that Yiyang had already got an open three-pointer! At this moment, Artest is the player closest to Yiyang, and he has the obligation to defend Gasol!

This guy rushed over with grinning teeth. If he was an ordinary rookie, he might have been frightened by Artest's appearance.

But Yiyang is different, he is Nowitzki's handpicked successor!

Yiyang took off, not paying attention to Artest who was pretending to be fierce. He thought back to the night he lost to the Grizzlies, and after the game, he made three-pointers after three-pointers from beyond the arc.

The No. 1 guard shot calmly, but Artest's defense was still a step slower. Yiyang felt that time seemed to slow down, and the surroundings became unusually quiet, as if there was no sound at all.

Until I saw the basketball fall into the net and rub against the net to make that crisp sound.

"brush."..

"Yi's second three-pointer tonight, the goal was scored, beautiful! Yi's performance was very good, he helped the Mavericks tie the score before the end of the first quarter!" Van Gundy yelled excitedly, many of the Lakers team The fans even cast strange glances at him.

Artest shook his head unwillingly, but in the end he was scored by that rookie.

And Yiyang, this guy didn't do any celebration. He just turned around immediately and ran back to his own half, ready to defend.

A rock-shattering bold move, an elegant and beautiful extraordinary, and finally, that three-pointer that went straight into the heart of the Lakers. Yiyang's series of outstanding performances wiped out the Lakers' lead.

Kobe rubbed his hands together, his expression more serious than before. It seems that when dealing with that rookie, you can't just hold the mentality of playing for fun. Regarding Yiyang's price tag, maybe Carlisle is not joking!

Artest's slam can't stop Yiyang, and Kobe's breakthrough can't stop Yiyang. Unless he is killed by basketball, Yi Yang will never stop.

Phil Jackson had folded his hands and stood on the sidelines at this time, because he could no longer sit on the bench with peace of mind and "watch the fire from the other side".

In the following games, Kobe, who got serious, played very well, allowing the Lakers to regain a slight lead.

And under the leadership of Yiyang, the Mavericks have not been left behind again. Although unable to take the lead, it also forced the defending champion into a rather embarrassing situation.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers got their wish and walked off the field with a lead. 28 to 3, the defending champion leads by 3 points.

But obviously, the 3-point advantage is not what Kobe and "Zen Master" wanted.

Now everyone knows that the Mavericks will not be defeated so easily today. Although it is true that Nowitzki's status is still low, if he can't handle the No. 3 show, the defending champion will not be fully sure.

At this time, on the bench of the Mavericks, Carlisle beckoned to Yiyang and Kidd.

"Jason, you continue to play later and organize the team's offense. Also..." Carlisle looked into Yiyang's eyes, worried at first, but immediately regained his composure.

"You play the second position, if you meet Kobe, don't be afraid, continue to play as usual!"

Nowitzki is right, Yiyang and Kobe, this battle is inevitable!
