One Guard

Yiyang's one-man dunk turned the American Airlines Center Arena into an active volcano, allowing the Mavericks to still score after Nowitzki's miss. Of course, the smell of gunpowder between the two teams became stronger and stronger.

The reason why the playoffs are different from the regular season is that apart from the special competition system, one of the reasons is the higher confrontation intensity. On the stage of the playoffs, for the sake of the fluency and excitement of the game, the referee is likely to turn a blind eye to some foul actions. As long as it is not excessive, the referee often turns a blind eye. Therefore, on the stage of the playoffs, the players will move more and the confrontation will be more intense.

This is why in the fourth game between the two sides, Harden's 16 free throws made Yiyang furious. If you want to judge the game according to the standard of the regular season, then everyone should follow the standard of the regular season. In that game, the referee could turn a blind eye to the Thunder's foul, but the foul on the Mavericks was very harsh.

Today, the two teams that have already played out their anger will definitely continue their high-intensity confrontation. I hope the referee will not become the one who controls the game this time.

An exasperated Perkins sat directly inside this time, leaning on Haywood with one hand, and raised the other hand high to ask Westbrook for the ball.

Although Perkins is not good at offense, he is still full of confidence when facing Haywood who scored 7 points in a row in 4 minutes.

An angry Perkins kept elbowing Haywood, and fans might not see these details at all through the TV broadcast. But only when you come to the scene, you will know how brutal the battle in the playoffs is! It is no exaggeration to say that this is a war in a peaceful era.

Under the "greeting" intentionally or unintentionally by Perkins' elbow, Heywood gradually lost his defensive position. Westbrook sent the ball to Perkins, who directly supported Haywood with one hand and turned around to take off, and easily put the ball into the frame when Haywood couldn't get up.

"Perkins scored again. This guy who averaged only 4.7 points per game in the playoffs can always score frequently on Haywood. Brandon can't replace Chandler. The difference between the two is more than enough A little bit." Barkley shook his head helplessly, and the Mavericks were lucky that the center of the Thunder was Perkins. As long as they find a center with a slightly stronger offensive ability, the Mavericks have no choice!

"Damn it, don't you even blow it!?" Heywood didn't try his best, but Perkins' movement was indeed too big. After picking up the basketball, Heywood couldn't help rubbing his chest. If the referee defaults to this scale, the Mavericks will not be polite either!

After the next attack, Yiyang passed the ball to Carter after half court. Carter feinted with the ball, and Yiyang took the opportunity to run. Just as Yiyang found a gap and was about to cut to the basket, Westbrook grabbed Yiyang's jersey directly from behind!

Yiyang slapped hard, knocking off the hand that Westbrook was holding on to. Only then did he successfully cut in and receive a pass from Carter.

In the eyes of the fans, this is an ordinary cut-in. There are ten people running on the basketball court, and it is impossible for fans far away from the court to see every detail of every player. But only Yiyang and the others know how crazy the battle is at this moment!

Yi Yang, who cut in from the bottom corner, received the basketball and sprinted towards the basket along the baseline. Perkins directly left Heywood behind, guarding the basket, and decided to use a block to repay the humiliation of the dunk that Yiyang just gave him!

At this time, the rest of the Thunder defended their matchups and did not give Yiyang any way to score the ball. Yiyang had no choice but to fight for the opportunity by himself. He is not afraid of Perkins, although the two are not at the same level at all, but even if it is just to win free throws, Yiyang must give it a try!

After Yiyang took off, Perkins also jumped up. If it is another guard who breaks through the basket, the strong Perkins can play a very good role in protecting the frame as long as he stands under the basket and raises his arms high.

But Perkins is very clear that facing a player like Yiyang, if you just stand under the basket with your arms raised high, it is no different from sending points. And at this time, Perkins still had some feelings of revenge in his heart.

In order to avoid Perkins' block, Yiyang changed hands in the air and passed the strong Thunder center.

Perkins saw that the cover failed, so he put down his hands directly and dragged Yiyang down in the air!

After dragging Yiyang down, Perkins did not take any protective action. Instead, his hands suddenly loosened, causing Yiyang, who had completely lost his center of gravity, to fall off a hard board!

"This is a nasty foul!" Buckley slapped the table vigorously, pointing at the court and shouting loudly. Even in the 1990s, that action just now was a bit too forceful.

"Perkins directly pulled Yi down in the air. God, I don't know if Yi was injured. Now that his physical strength is close to exhaustion, he is very vulnerable to injury!" Kenny Smith stretched his neck, but Yi Yang Surrounded by players, no one could see what happened to Yiyang.

The referee showed no mercy and directly gave Perkins a technical foul. But this penalty obviously cannot satisfy the Mavericks.

"A technical foul? He put my player on the ground, and you gave him a technical foul?" Carlisle asked the referee in disbelief. Just now, Perkins was expelled for a second-level malicious foul. Not enough.

"I know how to master the scale, Mr. Coach. Now, please return to your range of activities." The referee looked indifferent and merciless. If Carlisle took another step forward, he might also call Carlisle a technical foul.

"Fucking shit! Shit!" Carlisle dropped the tactical board in his hand in dissatisfaction, and the tactical board was split into two. God knows how hard Carlisle was just now.

Yiyang lay on the floor for a while and then stood up again. This is the playoffs, and he has such an awareness a long time ago!

"No problem!" Nowitzki hurriedly asked about Yiyang's physical condition. Just now, Yiyang fell very hard, and that guy Perkins was completely trying to beat Yiyang to death on purpose.

Yiyang waved his hand, except for minor injuries, he didn't feel any discomfort. He gritted his teeth and stood at the free throw line without even tangling with Perkins. Because Yiyang knows very well that if he is provoked, if he is expelled from the field because of a conflict with the opponent, then everything will be worth the candle.

Yiyang's move undoubtedly won overwhelming applause from the audience. There was nothing the fans could do but applaud to show their thanks.

When Yiyang was making a free throw, Brooks called Westbrook to his side.

"Russell, tell your teammates, watch the scale. I don't want to lose any of you, I don't want to see anyone get suspended, you hear me?"

Westbrook nodded slightly, and at the same time, Yiyang made both free throws. Of course, the head coach doesn't want to see players suspended for fouls, but once a fierce game is played, the players' emotions are simply out of control.

Although Perkins ate a technical foul, although the magnitude of the foul just now was shocking. But the players did not restrain themselves because of this, but instead played more and more intensely

In the fourth minute of the second quarter, Nowitzki, who was in the three-second zone, was directly hugged by Ibaka. After the referee blew the foul, Dirk impatiently shook off Ibaka's arm, and the two almost broke out in conflict.

Two minutes later, Marion elbowed Durant for position. Marion, who thought he would escape, was called a foul. It seems that the referee is indeed more towards the Thunder.

Subsequently, Yiyang's breakthrough layup was interrupted again by a bad violation. This time, it was Ibaka who knocked Yiyang to the ground. Seeing Yiyang fall down again and again and being violated again and again, the hearts of the fans felt as if they were being pricked by needles.

Of course, the most distressed among them are Vignali and Wen Xue who are guarding in front of the TV.

Fall down, get up again. This is the action Yiyang repeated the most today. He became a stumbling block on the way for the Thunder to advance, and everyone wanted to smash him.

However, this "rock" in Yiyang is smelly and hard!

Yiyang's crazy attack and Nowitzki's normal performance allowed the Thunder to enter the final quarter with a 5-point lead. Although entering the decisive battle with an advantage, the fate of the Mavericks is still uncertain.

"Don't forget, the most serious problem for the Mavericks right now is physical fitness! In the few games lost to the Thunder, the Mavericks didn't play well in the fourth quarter. What's more, the confrontation between the two sides is so fierce today, and the Mavericks with an aging lineup Niu and Yiyang, who has been violated all the time, don't know if they can persevere."

As Barkley said, physical fitness has now become a problem that Carlisle must face but there are not many ways to solve it. This season, the Mavericks' roster has been lacking in depth. After Kidd's absence, the problem was exacerbated.

Now Carlisle's only two substitutes are Terry and Yi Jianlian, and he can barely add a Frenchman, Maxinmi. As for the others, switching to the field is no different from "giving points". Among them, Yi Jianlian and Mahinmi cannot spend too long on the court. Otherwise, Brooks will definitely attack him as a breakthrough.

Looking at the panting main players, Carlisle really had nothing to do. The 5-point advantage can disappear in a flash on the basketball court, but it is not so easy to recover it.

"Today's game was too intense, and the Thunder couldn't wait to advance. They didn't hesitate to fight the Mavericks on the field, just hoping to consume them to the greatest extent!"

"For now, the Thunder's strategy is successful. They are better than the Mavericks in terms of bench depth. If both Yi and Dirk play under the condition of physical fitness, the shooting rate will definitely be affected. But if they don't Going to the court, the Mavericks' scoring will stagnate again. As long as the Thunder seize the opportunity, they can take lives at the last moment like they did in previous games!"

After Barkley finished speaking, he shook his head. The methods of Brooks and Thunder are really vicious. Give you the final blow when you are exhausted and unable to struggle, and then let you watch your opponent advance to the Western Conference Finals at home. Is there any method, more cruel than this?

Carlisle is also one of the top two bigs now. He could have let Kidd play and continue to stabilize the rhythm, and then give Yiyang time to breathe. But now, he doesn't have that condition. Currently, apart from Yiyang, the only point guard on the Mavericks team is the Englishman Azubuike. This guy, who had been away from NA for two years due to injury, did not have the strength to play in the playoffs at all. During the regular season, Azubuike has been on the reserve list, and he doesn't even play with the team. If Kidd hadn't been reimbursed for the season, Carlisle would not have put him on the official list.

"Yeah, you take a rest first. Jeter, you are the No. 1 position. Remember to pass the ball a lot, and don't get entangled with Westbrook." After thinking for a long time, Carlisle still had to replace Yiyang with Terry. While Terry may not be effective at the No. 1 position, it's Carlisle's only option.

"Do not!"

As soon as Carlisle finished speaking, Yiyang vetoed the head coach's decision with one word.

"Ah?" Carlisle was stunned, Yiyang never disobeyed the coach's arrangement.

"I can fight, I can fight in the last 12 minutes!" Yiyang looked at Carlisle with eager eyes, this kid really wants to win!

"No, no, the game was too intense. You rest for a few minutes, and I will replace you in a few minutes."

"If I lose the game, I will have to rest for the whole summer!" Yi Yang did not back down, he clenched his fists. "Please, boss."

Carlisle held his forehead, this kind of choice is so fucking annoying!
