One Guard

Yiyang's 40-point night allowed the Mavericks to come out of the haze of losing streak, and Kidd's comeback also made the Mavericks' lineup finally complete again.

Seemingly overnight, everything was back on track again. When Yiyang saw Kidd appearing in the locker room again, although he had no expression on his face, he was actually very happy in his heart. It's not because after Kidd's comeback, Yiyang will get more rest time. It's that he can finally be on the training ground again and learn from this historic old point guard.

"How are you doing at home these days, Jason, missing last night's game is simply the biggest loss in your life!" As soon as Kidd walked into the locker room today, Terry took Yiyang's 40 points. Ye and Kidd joked.

"I didn't miss that game Jeter, I watched it clearly on TV at home. Congratulations kid, you have achieved another milestone!" Kidd stretched out his fist and lightly touched Yiyang, eyes It is full of gratification.

After watching Yiyang score 40 points and 14 assists like chopping melons and vegetables yesterday and leading the team to beat the Jazz to a bruise, Kidd was happy, but also had another idea.

This kid's performance on the field is already impeccable, he may improve in the future, but I have nothing to teach him. This 39-year-old veteran is beginning to feel resigned...

After finishing last season, Kidd already wanted to retire. But Cuban and Carlisle tried their best to persuade him to stay and take Yiyang for another year, and this is the only reason to support Kidd, an old man who is nearly 40 years old, to do high-load sports every day.

Kidd has played on and off this season and hasn't played much playing time. In the game, his sense of presence is already very low. The reason why he still shows up in the training ground every day with his salary is to help Yiyang grow rapidly.

But yesterday, after Yiyang scored 40 points, Kidd felt that the time had come! He slowly opened the locker and saw a clean Mavericks jersey inside. The time to fight in this suit has officially entered the countdown stage.

But before that, Kidd felt that he still had something to give to Yiyang. Moreover, this thing is often very important in the game.

"Also!" After changing his clothes, Kidd jumped on the spot twice, and then called out to Yiyang.

"Go and practice with me first." After speaking, Kidd pushed open the door of the locker room. Yiyang excitedly followed, he knew that Kidd had something new to give to him!

"How's your ankle? Jason." On the way to the stadium, Yiyang approached Kidd and asked with concern.

"Uh...healed up already, I hope it lasts longer this time, hahaha." Kidd was stunned for a moment before answering Yiyang, not because he concealed his injury, but because It was Kidd who was suddenly unaccustomed to Yiyang's occasional enthusiasm.

This cold guy usually doesn't talk much. This season is a little better, but he still gives people a feeling of repulsion. If this group of people didn't know him well, they might have thought Yiyang had autism.

Looking at Yiyang's concerned eyes just now, Kidd was really not used to it. He doesn't know what kind of position he is in this kid's heart, but just looking at it, he probably doesn't hate himself.

In fact, Yiyang has always regarded Kidd as a respected teacher. In some respects, Kidd's status in Yiyang's heart is even higher than that of Carlisle and Nowitzki. However, Yiyang is not good at expressing his respect and love for a person with words. So when he asked about Kidd's injury just now, his tone was a little blunt.

"I watched the game yesterday, and your performance was very good. But have you noticed that there is a big difference between you and me when organizing the offense." Chatting, the two walked to the training ground . Kidd picked up a basketball and patted it casually. It's been a long time.

"Well... I don't like to frown when I'm driving the ball.

"

"Pfft!" Yiyang's answer made Kidd laugh out loud, this kid can make jokes now. It seems that anyone who has been with that guy Terry for a long time will be taken out of order!

"No, the frown isn't the key factor, man. It's the language. Most point guards when I'm on the court, I'll be yelling, or pulling a teammate closer to him in the dead ball, and explaining how he's going to run." You, you can go 48 minutes without saying a word! Although you can organize the team's offense without speaking, trust me, with the help of words, you and Teammates can cooperate more tacitly!" What Kidd is going to teach Yiyang today is not basketball skills, but speaking skills!

"You mean... like Kobe?" Yiyang and Kobe had fought against each other more than once, and he knew that Kobe was a talkative guy on the court. In addition to provoking opponents and encouraging himself, Kobe is actually directing his teammates when he speaks most of the time. As long as he is on the field, the shouts will continue to sound.

"Well... Bryant is an extreme example, that guy talks too much, hahahaha. You don't have to be as exaggerated as him, but at least you have to be like me, shout when you should, Remind your teammates what to pay attention to when attacking. On the court, you are the brain that leads the entire team to run. If other people don’t know what the brain thinks, how can they execute it? If Sean with the ball doesn’t notice it, you can use your voice to remind him. For example, if you find a loophole on the defensive end, you can also use your voice to call your teammates to cover the defense. Sometimes you start the Want to launch a fast break, but maybe your teammates haven’t found you. At this time, you can use shouting to remind your teammates. In short, there is no hard and fast standard for speaking on the court. As long as you feel that shouting can help the team, then Just yell unscrupulously!" Kidd finished speaking, and shot a basket from beyond the three-point line. Unfortunately, Kidd failed to score even in an open shot.

The 40-year-old guard shook his head and taught him everything he could teach now. In the following season, I can only enjoy it.

After listening to Kidd's words, Yiyang nodded thoughtfully. It's not easy for the already taciturn Yiyang to shout on the court, but as long as it can help the team win, Yiyang is very willing to try!

So, when he was on the training ground in the afternoon, the shouts of Kidd and Yiyang lingered in everyone's ears. Carlisle, who was supervising the training on the sidelines, smiled slightly. An old family is like a treasure.

Yiyang's good form and Kidd's comeback undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Mavericks. The good training atmosphere of the players also ensures their outstanding performance in the game.

The regular season battle continued, and the Mavericks played steadily all the way, playing at a high level as always. Yiyang speaks more and more times on the court, which undoubtedly increases the fluency of the team's offensive end.

On March 17, the Mavericks defeated the Spurs 106 to 99 in the American Airlines Center Arena, thus surpassing the Los Angeles Lakers and returning to the third place in the Western Conference.

A week later, on March 24, the Mavericks defeated the Houston Rockets, the focus of the semi-reconstruction state, casting a shadow over the Rockets' playoff hopes. The Mavericks themselves also ended their two-game losing streak and consolidated their top three positions in the West.

On March 28, Yiyang scored the second-highest 39 points and 13 assists this season, helping the team defeat the Orlando Magic that lost Howard. So far, the Mavericks have officially confirmed their place in the playoffs, and even if they lose all the subsequent games, they will not fall out of the top eight in the Western Conference.

The playoffs are not a goal for the Mavericks at all, but the most "basic" requirement.

Although the Mavericks have steadily entered the playoffs, this does not mean that the Mavericks will not have any highlights in the regular season.

On April 1, the first day of the last month of the NBA regular season, the NBA officially announced that Yiyang was elected as the Western Conference Player of the Month for March. The best player of the week, Yiyang, has won a lot, and the best rookie of the month, Yiyang, has already won it last year, but the best player of the month, this is the first time Yiyang has gotten involved.

The fans in Dallas were all cheering for this, some people cheered, and naturally some people didn't want to see Yiyang get the honor.

On April 2, the Dallas Mavericks will go far to Los Angeles and play a game with the Clippers, currently ranked seventh in the Western Conference.

Before the game started, TNT had already selected it as a national live broadcast. However, the reason why TNT made this decision was not because of the duel between Yiyang and Paul. What the fans want to see is the meeting of the two rivals, Yiyang and Griffin!

"We don't need to explain the grievances between the two best young people in the league anymore. Griffin will always stand up and complain about it every now and then. Although he has never made any response, we all know the Chinese defender. Personality, he is not the kind of guy who is willing to endure humiliation. Anyone who argues with him will definitely find a way to repay it! We all know that Blake is almost the most impactful power forward in the league now, but he is also an addict. A beast of blood. I really don't know what kind of sparks will be created between the two young people in this match!"

Before the start of the game, Griffin was very dissatisfied with Yiyang being awarded the player of the month. In fact, it's all about jealousy.

The Mavericks have secured a spot in the playoffs, while the Clippers are still struggling on the edge of the playoffs. So in this sprint stage, all the Clippers players worked very hard.

At the end of the first quarter, Griffin's humiliating celebration after dunking Yi Jianlian made Yiyang very angry.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yiyang hit a three-pointer over Griffin with a pull-up layup. Of course, Yiyang didn't forget to put his index finger on his lips after scoring the goal, so that annoying guy like Griffin shut up!

The two young men faced each other throughout the entire game, but it was Chris Paul who ultimately decided the outcome of the game.

Paul made consecutive mid-range shots at critical moments, giving the Clippers a 6-point lead in the last minute.

Subsequently, Griffin's defensive foul on Nowitzki at the basket was ignored by the referee. The Clippers seized the opportunity to make another victory and completely closed the game.

After the game, Griffin embraced Paul frantically. In the press conference after the game, Griffin even uttered wild words. "I told you a long time ago, Chris and I will tear you apart!"

After losing this game, the Mavericks' ranking has not changed. The Clippers surpassed the Denver Nuggets and ranked sixth in the West!

"If there is no change in this ranking after the regular season, then the Mavericks and Clippers will meet in the playoffs!" Barkley became excited after seeing the ranking change. Paul, this kind of drama is exciting just to think about it.

On April 15, 11 days before the end of the regular season, the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Clippers met for the third time this season.

Before the start of this match, Kidd had another problem with his ankle. What's more, Nowitzki sprained his left finger. In order to ensure that Dirk can recover before the playoffs, Carlisle asked him to wear a suit and watch the game from the sidelines today.

Losing two important players, Kidd and Nowitzki, the Mavericks are naturally struggling at home today.

Yiyang tried his best and scored 28 points and 13 assists on Paul's head. It can be said that he completely shattered Paul's defense.

But it is a pity that Yi Jianlian, who replaced Nowitzki in the starting game, is obviously not ready yet. He hasn't played as a starter in the NBA for a long time. In this game, Yi Jianlian also allowed Griffin to score a lot of points. The incomplete lineup of the Mavericks makes it difficult for them to compete with the Clippers.

In this regard, the Clippers narrowly won 99 to 94 at the American Airlines Center Arena, completing the triple play against the Mavericks this season!

Griffin was overjoyed, what's the use of Yiyang winning so many honors? This season, he never beat me once!

After the game, Yiyang also clenched his fists, refused all reporters' interviews, and went back to the locker room alone.

Losing to the Clippers for the first time this season, the team was beaten by Billups. The second loss to the Clippers was mainly due to Paul's unexpected outburst at the last moment and Griffin's foul at a critical moment was ignored. And today lost to the Clippers for the third time, and the Mavericks were full of soldiers due to injuries.

It's not that Yiyang can't afford to lose, but in each of these three losses, Yiyang was very unwilling to lose!

Seeing Griffin's flamboyant face, Yiyang was furious.

There are still 11 days left in the regular season, and both sides probably still have 4 games to play. The Lakers, ranked fourth in the Western Conference, can no longer catch up with the Mavericks. The Mavericks' third position in the Western Conference this season is already very stable.

However, there is only a two-game gap between the seventh-ranked Nuggets in the West and the sixth-ranked Clippers, and the ranking has not yet been finalized.

This may be the first time that Yiyang hopes that the Clippers can win more games, because if the Clippers fall to seventh in the West, then Yiyang will not be able to bury them in the playoffs!

Encounter road is narrow, probably referring to the two guys Yiyang and Griffin. The Clippers want to play with the Mavericks because they think the Mavericks are easy to pinch. The Mavericks also want to play against the Clippers, because they were very unconvinced in the regular season.

Will these two bitter rivals finally meet in the playoffs? Griffin and Yiyang are now dreaming that they can defeat each other in the playoffs...
