One Guard

Chapter 198: Physical Crisis

The selection of the best rookie in the 2009 NBA, that year, although the No. 1 pick Griffin was reimbursed for the season, but look at the remaining players. Harden, Rubio, Curry, DeRozan, and even Jennings who scored 55 points in a single game in his rookie season...no one is waiting for you. It's just a pity that none of them has the ability to compete for the honor of best rookie. The best rookie of that year can only belong to Tyreke Evans standing in front of Yiyang.

With an average of 20.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, even among the talented 2009 rookies, no player can match or even come close to Evans. As a comparison, there is another man who had such an amazing performance in his rookie season, averaging 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, and the owner of this string of data is called LeBron James.

There is no doubt that Evans is a genius. After last season's excellent performance, people also expect Evans to grow into a superstar like LeBron. Such an excellent player, although his statistics this season are slightly worse than last season, he is still a very dangerous role.

Therefore, the fate of Cousins ​​did not let Yiyang relax his vigilance. He is very clear that the number 3 of the Kings in front of him is his biggest opponent today!

Now the Mavericks still maintain a formation of two point guards, so Yiyang is still facing off against Evans. Evans is not as eager to prove himself as Cousins. He moves in a regular manner and does not do anything out of the ordinary. ..

Just as Evans slid across the baseline to the left corner, the steady young man raised his slender arms. Udrih didn't hesitate, and immediately played the ball. In order to prevent Evans from taking the opportunity to break through, Yiyang didn't intend to touch the basketball.

Instead of pressing, the Dallas One released Evans a few steps. This guy's shooting is extremely unstable, which is well-known throughout the league. Yiyang doesn't want to be the background for Evans' successful breakthrough again.

Evans made several three-threat moves with the ball, but Yiyang was unmoved. In the stands, all the fans of the Kings stood up. They were all looking forward to Evans, the last Rookie of the Year, to give a little color to the strong contender for the Rookie of the Year.

Without hesitation, Evans suddenly started, intending to force him! From Yiyang's point of view, Evans' starting speed is not considered fast, but this guy uses his superb ball handling skills and strong body to crush Yiyang hard to the basket.

Yiyang planned to repeat the old trick, so he cut the ball at the moment Evans was about to layup. But if Evans can be defeated so easily, then it is impossible for him to play the data comparable to LeBron James in his rookie season.

Evans evaded Yiyang's fast hand with a European step and successfully made a layup. Suddenly, the dome of the Sleeping Train Arena seemed about to be toppled over. Just now Yiyang's tomahawk-style snap made the fans here silent,

And Evans' timely goal undoubtedly gave this group of guys a reason to cheer.

After scoring the goal, Evans did not make any provocative moves like Cousins. This guy just returned to the defense quickly, waiting for Yiyang's response.

"The duel between the last best rookie and this year's best rookie, to be honest, Mike, I didn't expect it to be so exciting before." Jeff Van Gundy adjusted his sitting posture, although the test full of topics Sins was forced to sit on the bench to watch the game, but the bald commentator felt that when Evans got more possessions, the game became more interesting.

"Rookie of the year? I have to remind you, Jeff, the rookie of the season hasn't been determined yet."

"No, he must be the best rookie of the year!" Van Gundy replied confidently.

The Mavericks players had pushed half court while the two announcers were speaking. Without Cousins, "Boxing Champion" Tyson would be much more comfortable in his activities. He flexibly mentioned the high position and set up an off-ball pick-and-roll for Yiyang.

Yiyang used the screen to distance himself from Evans, and then received a pass from Kidd. At this time, Chandler had already started to cut towards the basket, but the aged Dalembert couldn't catch up with Chandler, who had more advantage in speed.

Of course, only Yiyang saw this detail. Everyone's attention is on him, and everyone is guessing how this guy will attack. This Dallas One, however, has everything planned.

When Chandler stepped into the free throw line with one foot, Yiyang did not take off, but directly threw the basketball into the air on the spot.

Evans raised his arms subconsciously, but the basketball was passed too high. There is no doubt that this is an alley-oop pass!

When people diverted their attention along the trajectory of the basketball flight, they realized that Chandler had completely got rid of Dalembert at this time, and it seemed that a beautiful alley-oop dunk would appear again.

However, when Chandler took off, Yiyang and Carlisle frowned. Sure enough, Chandler failed to firmly grasp the basketball, and the reluctant dunk after that was naturally directly dunked out.

"It's a pity! I didn't get the buckle!"

"Yi's pass seemed to be a bit too high, and Tyson couldn't touch the ball at all."

"In my impression, this seems to be the first time that the empty match between Yi and Chandler has gone wrong."

The narrators all exclaimed, only Yiyang, Carlisle and Chandler knew it. It wasn't that Yiyang passed the ball too high just now, but that Chandler, whose physical strength was severely tested, didn't jump as high as before.

Originally, during this period of time, the physical reserves of the Mavericks players were almost exhausted, and the continuous hand-to-hand battles with Cousins ​​just now had also rapidly depleted the physical energy of the "Champion". Not long after the game, Chandler was already out of breath. The Mavericks' physical problems eventually inevitably appeared in this game.

Chandler missed a dunk, and Dalembert just "picked up" the defensive rebound. He passed the ball to Evans, and the meter 98 combo guard advanced the ball.

Yiyang just blocked in front of Evans, not giving the No. 3 any room to sprint.

The Kings fans stood up again, expecting Evans to defeat Yiyang in a one-on-one match for the second time. However, Evans didn't have a fever in his head. He suddenly flicked his wrist and quickly sent the basketball to a position outside the three-point line on the left side of the basket.

There, Israeli forward Casspi arrived just in time to catch and shoot. Evans' passing is very comfortable. Although he is 98 meters tall, he can do what point guards do.

Generally speaking, the term combo guard is more used to describe a player who can play the first and second positions but is not proficient. But the two combo guards, Evans and Yiyang, are obviously not within the scope of this description.

This comfortable pass also helped the Israelis make a successful shot. Although the referee said that Casspi stepped on the line, the three points became two points. However, after Cousins ​​went off the court, the Kings could regain a four-point advantage, which obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Also, play more aggressively!" Carlisle yelled at his All-Star rookie when Yiyang ran through halftime.

Yiyang understood what Carlisle meant. The academic coach knew that the Mavericks' offense was not in shape in the first quarter, so he hoped that Yiyang could change from a passer to a scorer.

So this time, Yiyang received Kidd's pass early. And the running of everyone in the Mavericks is actually paving the way for Yiyang.

Yiyang beckoned Nowitzki to pick and roll, but when Nowitzki was in position, he kicked the ground suddenly and rushed to the side without cover.

Evans originally thought that Yiyang would use the pick-and-roll to break through, so he failed to react in time, and the man behind Nowitzki

Jason Thompson has no choice but to defend!

Thompson blocked in front and Evans chased behind. Yiyang's breakthrough successfully attracted the defense of the Kings' two players, and also made the Kings' defensive formation shrink to the basket.

Although Carlisle allowed himself to attack more, it would be foolish to insist on not passing the ball at this opportunity.

Yiyang suddenly twisted his waist and threw the basketball behind him! The orange basketball spun fast until the German outside the three-point line held it firmly with his big hand!

"Also with Dirk, a classic pick-and-roll!" Jeff Van Gundy saw that Dirk got a chance, and almost wanted to celebrate the goal for the Mavericks.

"Cut, it's another damn high pick-and-roll!" Cousins, who was on the bench, dismissed it. If it was him, maybe he would really force the frame against the defense of two people.

No matter what people think of this tactic, Nowitzki did get a real chance. Carlisle prayed in his heart that his physical fitness would not affect Dirk's shooting touch.

Nowitzki took the shot calmly. After the basketball flew out, the German even kept his shooting posture, expecting the orange ball to fall straight into the net.

But the Mavericks did not get the three-pointer as they wished. The basketball shot by Nowitzki hit the neck of the basket and knocked out of the frame. Dalembert stuck in position to protect the rebound, and the Kings' defense succeeded again.

"Damn the intensive schedule!" Off the field, Carlisle could do nothing but curse the league. In order to maximize the benefits, the league would not agree to shorten the schedule. And if the schedule is not shortened, the players will definitely go through this difficult time at this time.

Nowitzki shakes his head remorsefully as Evans has the ball past half court. This time, Yiyang did not allow Evans to score, but Udrih's breakthrough point helped Dalembert dunk on the spot.

The Kings once again led the Mavericks by points, and Cousins ​​became the happiest "big baby" off the court. Cousins ​​is particularly satisfied when he thinks of the deflated expressions of the Mavericks fans.

Yiyang knew that he had to increase the number of shots he made today. So in the next round, he got a chance at the mid-range by running, and succeeded in a step-back jumper.

Yiyang's goal allowed the Mavericks to finally score. But the Sacramento Kings have already gained the upper hand in momentum.

Except for Yiyang on the basketball court, the other four Mavericks players were all exhausted. After all, no matter how powerful they are, they are only human beings, not machines, and they cannot carry them endlessly.

This damn physical crisis, maybe it will really make the Mavericks sleep forever in the Sleeping Train Arena...
