One Guard

phone-reading

With 15 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds in the half game, such statistics are enough for Yiyang to be selected by ESPN as a key player in the half game. Under Huo Ledi's excellent performance, the light that Yiyang bloomed was somewhat concealed. But when ESPN listed the halftime game data of the two guards, it turned out that the two were still very different.

With 17 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds, Holiday's statistics seem to be very versatile, but even though the two have similar playing time, Yiyang is still slightly better.

Holiday, who averaged 14 points per game this season, undoubtedly overfulfilled the scoring task today. The scene of him dodging Yiyang and Chandler by changing hands for a layup is still repeatedly broadcast by major TV stations. But it is obvious that even though Holiday has played so well, he is still not as good as Yiyang.

The No. 1 guard in Dallas is like the top student in the next class in school. You always feel that you have worked very hard, but you can never surpass him!

"The excellent performance of the two young guards made the confrontation between the two sides very interesting in the first half of the game. Of course, it is not difficult for us to get a message from it. The two teams that have won three consecutive victories after the All-Star Game, both I will not admit defeat easily. In this game, it is very likely that the winner will not be decided until the last moment, and the possibility of a lore goal is not even ruled out. If you want to execute the last shot, who do you think Yi and Holiday Is it more likely to kill the game?" Reggie Miller on the commentary stand had already started warming up for the second half of the match between the two sides, and Chris Webber, his partner, organized his words and answered immediately.

"If you want to execute the lore, of course my old teammate Peja is the most sure." As soon as Weber finished saying this, he and Miller laughed.

"Haha, I was just joking just now. To be honest, Yi and Holiday belong to the kind of guards whose shooting is not stable. If they really want to execute the final attack, the two guards will definitely choose a more certain way. , such as a breakthrough! But after the breakthrough, Holiday can only end the offense at the basket more often, and also, he has a good emergency stop jumper and step-back shot. So if the game really reaches the last moment , I think the 76ers are in danger. If I were coach Collins, I would let the team establish an advantage as soon as possible."

Chris Weber's thoughts are exactly what Collins is thinking now. He doesn't want to spend the last time with the Mavericks. Since Holiday performed so well in the second quarter, he will set up more tactics for Holiday in the third quarter, allowing the second-year guard to play openly. Seizing every opportunity to open the score, this is Collins' current strategy.

After a 15-minute rest, the players' physical fitness has recovered a lot. It stands to reason that they should show a better performance in the third quarter. But the interruption of the game for 15 minutes will not only give the players a chance to rest, but it may also make the players feel that the fiery game will be extinguished...

Everyone in the Wells Fargo Center held their breath when Holiday took the baseline ball to start the first play of the second half.

Holiday slowed his pace outside the three-point line. He began to dribble alternately with both hands. It should be a contest between the best players.

Holiday straightened up suddenly, as if intending to speed up. But just as the arrow was about to fall off the string, Huo Ledi paused for a moment, and then quickly changed direction in front of him, piercing towards Yiyang's left side.

"Back in position, footsteps, and route. Before the game, keep in mind the offensive habits and habitual actions of each opposing player, and you will be able to make top-level predictions when defending!" This is a 4-time NBA defensive player. The first team, Kidd, who was selected to the NBA defensive second team five times, often said a word to Yiyang. Why is Kidd's anticipation so good on the defensive end? Not because Kidd can predict the future,

It's because of Kidd's hard research down there that people can't see.

As Kidd's student, Yiyang naturally remembered every teaching of this historic point guard. Regarding Holiday, although Yiyang has not studied it that deeply, he has basically mastered some of Holiday's offensive habits. When Holiday seems to be about to speed up but pauses, it means that this guy will definitely break through to the other side!

Holiday is indeed a panacea that can be used with both hands, but this does not mean that Holiday has no rules to find.

Thus, Huo Ledi's breakthrough was easily stopped by Yiyang! The No. 11 guard of the 76ers immediately changed hands behind his back, intending to repeat the same trick to pass Yiyang. But this guy, Yiyang, won't allow Holiday to play tricks on him twice in the same way!

He saw the timing, predicted the trajectory of the basketball behind Holiday, and made a sudden move! After Holiday changed hands behind his back, the basketball did not switch from his left hand to his right, but was cut off by Yiyang!

Yiyang reached out and poked the basketball successfully, but did not completely control the ball.

The basketball bounced across the hardwood floor, looking like a 50/50 shot.

Is it just a mistake? Do not!

The young Huo Ledi became competitive, and he secretly exerted force on Yiyang beside him, hoping to push Yiyang away from the "route" and gain space for himself to get the basketball first.

But I didn't expect that Yiyang didn't move at all, Huo Ledi seemed to hit a city wall made of huge stones, and almost let the reaction force push him down, staggering, but fortunately he quickly regained his balance.

The two guards couldn't interfere with each other, and almost at the same time, both of them threw themselves on the floor, trying to reach the basketball!

Yiyang and Huo Ledi are both 1.93 meters tall, and they both hit the ground almost at the same time. But when the two stretched their arms straight on the hardwood floor, Yiyang's slightly dominant wingspan allowed him to touch the basketball first!

Yiyang knew that if he held the basketball in his arms, Holiday would definitely fight with him immediately. Instead of giving the opponent a chance to scrimmage the ball, it is better to directly turn this opportunity into an assist.

So Yiyang didn't grab the basketball after he reached it, but pushed the basketball forward with all his strength!

Stevenson originally planned to jump up and compete with Yiyang for the basketball, but seeing this situation, the experienced fighter immediately speeded up, ran past the two guards who were on the ground, and picked up the jumping forward. ball!

After Stevenson picked up the basketball, Jody Meeks immediately followed. Unfortunately, Meeks is not a shot blocker. It is almost impossible to watch him perform a good show of chasing Stevenson from behind.

Stevenson easily dunked the ball into the basket with one hand. At the beginning of the third quarter, the two sides played inextricably! And Stevenson's dunk also sent a signal to Collins - the Mavericks will not easily let him establish an advantage!

"Also! He jumped on the ground and completed a beautiful assist! It's an unbelievable pass, but he can deliver the ball to his teammates in all kinds of unimaginable situations!"

Collins shook his head, although the performances of Holiday and Yiyang so far in this game are evenly divided. Moreover, both have great potential. Holiday may become a hard rock to carry the 76ers' revival plan. But Yiyang, he can change from a rough stone to a brilliant diamond! Collins can see that there is still a gap between these two young guards.

In the first round of the third quarter, the two sides fought off their backs. Ke Yiyang still completed the assist, and Holiday took control of the ball again soon after being intercepted.

This time, No. 11 of the 76ers played the ball early and did not get entangled with Yiyang. But don't think that Holiday is organizing an offense. In fact, he is still creating opportunities for himself. Now, the core of the offense of the entire 76ers is Holiday!

Yiyang followed closely behind Holiday, and Collins set up two layers for Holiday just by picking and rolling without the ball. Just after getting rid of Brand, Yiyang still had Hawes in front of him.

Holiday used the off-ball pick-and-roll to get to the mid-range position, then caught the ball again, and then rushed to the basket before Yiyang's defense was in place!

Without hesitation, Chandler immediately defended the basket. But Holiday is very clear that his teammate Hawes is an alternative fifth position that relies on jump shots as the main offensive method. Chandler backs up to the rim, which means Hawes gets space!

Holiday turned his head, ready to score the ball. But when he saw Hawes, he found that this big white man who was not active in running had been completely watched by Nowitzki, and he had no passing route. And Nowitzki's opponent Brand is too far away from Holiday at this time, with several Mavericks players in the middle, it is too dangerous to pass the ball.

There is no way, the passing route has been completely locked, all Holiday can do now is to find a way to avoid Chandler's block in the air!

Holiday's foot kicked suddenly, and his whole body was sent into the air. At the same time, the "boxing champion" guarding the penalty area also jumped high and straightened his arms, as if he was a volleyball player about to smash the ball.

Changing hands in the air, Holiday decided to use the old trick on Chandler. But this time, although Holiday avoided Chandler's palm, he failed to avoid Chandler's body.

The two collided violently in the air. Chandler, who was strong and strong, didn't feel anything, but Holiday, who was relatively thin like Yiyang, was pushed hard enough.

Under this extremely strong physical confrontation, Holiday did not control the basketball well. His change of hands was done very well, but he failed to seize the opportunity for the final layup.

The basketball bounced twice on the hoop, and finally slid out.

"Rebound!" Chandler yelled in the air. He knew that if he jumped to fight for the second time after he landed, the rebound would have been taken away by someone else. He can only use his own roar to remind his teammates to pay attention to protection.

Nowitzki and Brand both took off at the same time, but the two interfered with each other, resulting in neither of them getting the rebound.

The basketball was clicked, and then fell again. This time, Yiyang jumped with all his strength, and finally grabbed the basketball firmly before Nowitzki and Brand.

"He also grabbed a defensive rebound, and he directly controlled the ball and pushed forward!" Reggie Miller pointed at the court and shouted. He vaguely felt that the Fuguo Center Arena was going to be "electricized"!

After Yiyang got the ball and landed, he ran towards the 76ers half court. Yes, it was running, running at full speed!

"What a terrifying explosive power!" Seeing that Yiyang increased his speed almost instantly, Chris Webber also opened his mouth wide.

Yiyang's rapid advance caused the 76ers players to rush back to defense. Holiday spread his arms near the midfield line, intending to stop Yiyang. Yiyang slapped the basketball to the left, as if intending to break through to the left.

Just when Holiday turned around to block to the left, Yiyang's left hand quickly hit the basketball, causing it to return to his right hand! A cool breeze blew across Huo Ledi's back, and he was passed by Yiyang!

"Don't slow down and change direction! God! I thought only Deron and Rose in this league could make such a move!"

After passing the first man, Yiyang advances beyond the three-point line. Jody Meeks rushed up with his teeth and claws. The guard who graduated from the famous Kentucky school has an excellent offense, but defense is not his strong point.

Yiyang feigned a shot from the upper body, making Meeks confused about which side the Chinese would break through. Just when his center of gravity became messy, Yiyang suddenly slapped the ball behind his back, successfully changed hands, and completed the overtaking!

At this time, Iguodala has rushed to the basket, and he is also the last barrier of the 76ers at this moment.

Without any hesitation, Yiyang directly held the ball with both hands and took off. Iguodala intends to complete the defense without fouling. This perimeter defensive gate does not believe that a rookie guard can easily score a layup on his head.

The two high-jumping players met in the air, but Yiyang was like a loach, twisting his body in the air, using Iguodala as the axis, and completed a mid-air turn!

Dodging Iguodala's defense, Yiyang threw the basketball to the backboard. The basketball wiped the backboard and hit the net with precision.

After landing, Yiyang staggered a few steps, then tried to maintain his center of gravity, and turned back to defend.

At this time, the Fuguo Center Arena seemed to be quieter than before the game started...
