One Guard

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Salt Lake City, Yiyang will be very happy every time he visits this place. Because coming here means that he can reunite with his old friend Gordon Heywood. Heywood is the first real friend Yiyang made in the United States. The memory of him and Heywood holding the NCAA championship trophy is also the best time in Yiyang's life so far.

But unfortunately, Haywood sprained his knee in a game two days ago and cannot play today. So, this time in Salt Lake City, Yiyang couldn't get together with Heywood.

The Mavericks will return to Dallas immediately after today's game, and there is no time to visit Heywood in the hospital. If you want to blame, you can only blame the schedule of this shrinking season is too dense. Players usually leave after playing away games, and there is no time to breathe.

Although it is impossible to see the Bulldogs and Shuangsha confronting each other in the NBA, this game is still full of highlights. Because of the matchup between former All-Star guard Devon Harris and Yiyang, everyone's appetite has long been whetted. It's a pity that the development of this game seems to be quite different from what everyone imagined.

Devin Harris desperately controlled the ball from the outside. Looking at Yiyang with his arms stretched across his face, he almost lost the confidence to continue attacking.

The first stop of Harris' career was spent with the Dallas Mavericks. This guy also played his worth in the Mavericks. To say that the Mavericks have selected excellent point guards are really numerous. Kidd and Nash back then, and now Harris and Yiyang were all selected by the Mavericks. The difference is that now Yiyang has confirmed his important position in the team. After losing so many good point guards, Cuban may not add Yiyang to the trading list as he did before.

Facing a rising star, Harris, who has been very popular in the past few years, has absolutely nothing to do. Yiyang's defense is very aggressive. With Harris' current speed, it is completely impossible for him to directly break through Yiyang.

As a star point guard, Harris' shooting and organizational skills can only be regarded as average, and his body is relatively thin. At the beginning, he was able to dominate the NBA, relying more on his own speed and endless interludes to get opportunities.

But now that he has experienced injuries, he has lost the traits that he relied on for survival. Even so, Harris has no intention of giving up. You know, the Jazz still count on him to replace Deron Williams' core position.

So the "outdated" star raised his left hand and asked for a pick-and-roll at the team's power forward Paul Millsap. Millsap shoots accurately, and his range can even cover beyond the three-point line. He is a perfect pick-and-roll partner.

But Millsap's not-so-strong body made it impossible for him to completely kill Yiyang. Yiyang circled around easily, and then chased after Harris again.

Harris thought he had gotten rid of Yiyang, and made a quick stop to shoot a jumper from the mid-range position. However, things backfired, the former all-star guard just took off when Yiyang's palm was sealed.

Yiyang's timely interference made Harris, who was not good at projection, completely lose his rhythm. His shot hit again, yes, again. This is already Harris' seventh shot today, but his number of goals still stays at the number "0".

"I didn't give Devin Harris any face at all. The game will be over in five minutes, but Harris' score is still 0. Can you imagine? Although Harris' state has declined, he has completely lost his matchup. Zero seals, this is still a very scary thing. It is impossible to seal a starter on the basketball court without extraordinary defensive ability!" Charles Barkley looked at Harris's data, playing 24 Minutes, 0 of 7 shots without scoring, only 2 rebounds and 2 assists were recorded. It is not an exaggeration to describe Harris' performance today as horrible.

"It's not really surprising,

Yesterday, under the challenge of Chris Paul and Chauncey Billups in turn, they still showed outstanding performance. What does this mean? This means that this young guard has already entered the ranks of first-line point guards. A first-line point guard in the league faced off against a former All-Star, and the result is known. "Kenny Smith wasn't as surprised as Barkley, because Yiyang's performance yesterday made his jaw drop. Today's match against Devon Harris, Yiyang's excellent performance was completely expected.

On the court, Harris failed to shoot again, and Yiyang seized the opportunity to make another victory, and used a fast one-stop layup, pulling the point difference to 10 points. Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin reluctantly called to stop the game. The Mavericks had completely controlled the rhythm, and the Jazz wanted to make a comeback unless Yiyang suddenly became unable to play.

Facts have proved that such a fantasy thing will not happen in reality. The Mavericks maintained their advantage until the end, and finally defeated the Utah Jazz, who has currently achieved 9 wins and 4 losses, with 96 to 88 in back-to-back battles.

Yiyang scored 22 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal in the game. Under his organization, a total of 5 Mavericks scored in double figures, Dirk Nowitzki scored 17 points, Yi Jianlian scored 12 points, Mavericks Lyon scored 11 points and Terry also scored 10 points. In contrast to the Jazz, except for Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap, the two insiders, the performance of the others is simply appalling.

The worst of them was Devin Harris, with 1 point, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. I believe this former all-star guard will never want to meet Yiyang again.

"An easy victory allowed the Mavericks to avoid a losing streak. Although the Mavericks have not been favored by people before the start of the season, but now their record of 11 wins and 4 losses makes the Mavericks still No. 1 in the West The ranks of the group."

"Dirk Nowitzki's statistics began to decline significantly this season. Last season, Dirk averaged points per game, but this season, his average points per game have dropped. There is no doubt that Dirk is getting old. , His incomprehensible performance is likely to never appear again. But the record of the Mavericks does not seem to be affected, because he has also taken over the burden of Dirk and carried the team to continue to move forward steadily!"

As Barkley and Smith said, the Mavericks have begun to slowly transition from the Dirk era to the Yiyang era. The experience of this season will definitely give Yiyang a better room for growth. After this season, Barkley believes that Yiyang will become a true superstar!

Although Yiyang defeated Harris with almost zero seals, he didn't seem particularly excited. For him, Harris can't even be called a strong opponent. I can't see Heywood today, and this game is no fun for Yiyang.

Sometimes you really don't know whether this guy Yiyang is dead-headed or just purely cold-blooded.

After this game, Yiyang won the Western Conference player of the week. In the west where there are many stars, Yiyang can get such an honor, which also means that his status in the league is steadily rising.

In the next few games, the Mavericks defeated the Hornets, Suns and Timberwolves respectively. The winning streak came to four games again. At the juncture of this five-game winning streak, the Mavericks and Jazz met again. Only this time, the battlefield will be moved to the American Airlines Center Arena.

In this game, Yiyang reunited with Heywood as he wished. Stevens, who was the head coach of the Bulldogs at the time, was also invited by Yiyang to watch the Bulldogs Derby.

Although in the NCAA period, Heywood was higher than Yiyang in terms of strength and reputation. But after entering the NBA, the development trajectories of the two are completely different.

Yiyang was selected with the third overall pick, and he suddenly made a big splash in the NBA. In his rookie season, he was selected to the All-Star team and won the championship ring.

Although Haywood has also consolidated his starting position in the team this season, his performance in the NBA is still not good enough. It can be seen that Heywood still has room for improvement, but at least for now, he cannot be compared with Yiyang.

In this game, Yiyang showed his strength again, scoring a double-double of 22 points and 12 assists. With his help, Yi Jianlian, who is good at shooting, got opportunities frequently and scored a new high of 19 points this season! And Vince Carter's performance of 3-of-5 shooting from beyond the three-point line also allowed him to get a decent 18 points. Most of the goals scored by these two people came from direct assists from Yiyang. There is no doubt that this guy Yiyang can not only improve himself, but also improve his teammates. Of course, except for guys like Odom who don't care about basketball at all.

Looking at these statistics, you can probably guess how badly the Jazz lost. Haywood was very efficient on the court, but only scored 8 points. In the face of the huge point difference, Haywood's 8 points are simply insignificant.

As for Devin Harris, his performance of 5 points and 3 assists seems to be just better than last time. At least today, he scored two goals against Yiyang. But overall, Harris is still abused to pieces.

116 to 101, the Mavericks completely slaughtered the Utah Jazz who came from afar with a huge advantage of 15 points, completing the double play against the Jazz this season.

After the game, Heywood, Stevens and Yiyang had a good reunion. Today's victory finally made Yiyang feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

On a perfect night, Yiyang not only finally got his wish to reunite with old friends, but also led the Mavericks to another five-game winning streak.

After this game, the Mavericks have one more back-to-back schedule left, and then they will wrap up their entire January campaign. The results of the All-Star Game voting will also be officially announced on January 31.

On January 29, Nowitzki beat the Spurs and won the battle between the bulls and the horses, and also avenged the fall of the ATT Center last time. On January 30, the back-to-back Mavericks made a big fuss in Phoenix. Nash was absent due to injury, and the Suns simply had no room to fight back.

Three Mavericks scored 20 points, Yiyang 21 points, Carter 20 points, and Terry 25 points. These three people completely collapsed the Suns' guard line. Nash, who was sitting on the bench in a suit, could only shake his head helplessly, watching the team being tortured and killed by the opponent.

122 to 99, if Carlisle hadn't replaced the full bench in the last eight minutes, it is estimated that the point difference would be even wider.

The battle in January ended perfectly. Under the leadership of Yiyang, the Mavericks won 7 consecutive victories. You can't see it at all, this is a team that is in the transition period between the old and the new.

On January 31, the NBA officially announced the complete list of the 2012 All-Star lineup. Although Paul, who was rejuvenated in the Clippers, took the starting point guard position in the Western Conference, Yiyang and Nowitzki were still selected as substitutes.

Yiyang, who is only in the second grade, will participate in the All-Star Game for the second time. After Griffin, the No. 1 pick last year, was selected for the main game this year, the Los Angeles media also made a lot of hype about it. However, in Dallas, Yiyang, who entered the league a year later than Griffin, is already a "regular visitor" to the All-Star Game.

Yiyang, who is in the limelight, leads the Mavericks all the way up, but Yiyang doesn't know that in the coming February, another Asian defender will also explode with all his strength and become a terrible opponent!

On the streets of New York, an Asian youth is already eager to try...
