One Guard

Chapter 481: 1 on 1 defense

The first ten minutes of the first quarter between the Mavericks and the Heat made the fans excited. Both James and Yiyang have shown their ability to become the only two MV candidates. James's scoring is unstoppable, and Yiyang has found the best balance between individual and team. Judging from the first 10 minutes of the showdown, it's hard to tell who is better, Yiyang or James. And this also made the remaining three quarters of the game full of suspense.

In the remaining two minutes of the first quarter, not only the main players could take a breather, but even the fans took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief. Yiyang and James were present, and everyone's hearts were in their throats. Taking advantage of the absence of these two extremely destructive guys, the fans also prepared enough Coke and popcorn to prepare for the next battle.

While James was taking the time to rest, Wade kept staring at Yiyang on the bench at the other end of the court. How many years has that kid been in the league? He was already able to score 10 points and 4 assists in a single quarter. Wade knew before that Yiyang would become a superstar, but he didn't expect Yiyang's rise to be so fast.

LeBron must be careful in the next 25 minutes of playing time, otherwise, that guy may really steal the MV trophy... Wade shook his head, James really encountered a bad situation this time opponent.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks maintained their 5-point lead until the end. Although Spoelstra didn't care much about winning this game before the game, the trouble the Mavericks brought to the Heat, the league's number one, today still greatly exceeded the Filipinos' expectations.

Fortunately, this is only a regular season game. If they encounter such a tough battle in the playoffs, I wonder if the Heat can survive it? Spoelstra's mentality also began to change. He wanted to see how far the team could perform in difficult situations. Instead of using this game as a rest, it would be better to use Yiyang as an opponent as a simulation game before the team's playoffs!

If the team encounters any problems in tough battles, Spoelstra can easily make adjustments. This is just a regular season game, it doesn't matter if we lose. But if we lose in the playoffs, it will be quite serious.

So, the Filipino coach, who originally hoped to rest the main players, walked up to the Big Three and clapped his hands hard at them.

"I want you to play at the beginning of the second quarter! Be serious and try to regain control of the game within five minutes!" Spoelstra gestured with his fingers spread out in front of the Big Three, and the players' playing time limit is still there. , Spoelstra just wanted to see what the Heat could do with full firepower.

So when the second quarter of the game between the two sides began, the Heat's starting lineup became completely different from before. The Big Three are all on the field, and Ray Allen, the legendary shooter, is also on the field. James plays the fourth position, Bosh serves as the center, and veteran Mike Miller serves as the small forward. The Heat's lineup looks more than a little better than the Mavericks.

The Heat tried to regain control of the game within five minutes of the second quarter.

So the players were more active than in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the game, James assisted Ray Allen and hit a three-pointer crisply from outside the three-point line. This powerful offensive made the Mavericks fans take a breath. Even Yiyang, who has always been calm, was nervous. Frowning.

"The Heat fielded their strongest lineup, and it is obvious that after the number of scoring points on the field increased, the Heat's offense became smoother. Not only is Marion unable to guard James, but he is also unable to defend Ray Allen. It seems very difficult at this time. Considering that this veteran is still earning a high salary of US$8.65 million this year, and this number will continue to rise in the next few years. Maybe Cuban really should consider how to deal with Marion's contract." Mike Breen looked at Marion's slow pace of defense and felt very sorry. It's not that the No. 0 defender doesn't want to contribute, but that even if he contributes now, he can only do so much.

In the next round, James scored again with a tough turnaround jumper, and this was already the fifth consecutive point Marion had lost in the second quarter.

After James scored, Marion held his head in his hands in frustration. He never imagined that he would now become a gap in the Mavericks' defense. ??If James and Mike Miller dared to take such a rash shot two years ago, Tyson Chandler would just have to wait for the rebound. But the opponent of time is very difficult to resist.

In the blink of an eye, the 5-point difference was filled, and the Heat and Mavericks returned to the same starting line.

In the next few attacks, except for Bosh's mid-range shot, the Heat basically used Marion as an opening to create breakthroughs.

There was no other way. Seeing that Marion was being held by the Heat, Carlisle had no choice but to temporarily replace Marion with the rookie Jae Crowder. Although Claude is young and energetic and physically strong enough, he is quite inexperienced.

As soon as he came on the court, James let him go two steps away. Seeing this, Yiyang immediately gave the ball to Claude. However, when Claude caught the basketball and saw James rushing towards him fiercely, he panicked instantly.

Not all rookies can be as mature as Yiyang. Facing the superstar's full defense, Jae Crowder nervously threw the ball. But this hasty shot did not help Crowder challenge the curve of good basketball. In the end, the orange basketball came out of the frame, and Jae Crowder wasted a perfect three-point shot.

"Claude looked at LeBron leaping high, like a chicken seeing the eagle diving towards him. This first-year rookie is too nervous. Compared with Marion, he is only half a pound."

"The Mavericks' reserves at the third position are indeed relatively weak, and no one can break James' dominance on the court. It seems that the Mavericks seemed a little passive after the start of the second quarter."

After two consecutive failed rounds, the commentators shook their heads. As soon as the Heat entered the main lineup, the Mavericks seemed to be "returned to their original shape" immediately.

Jae Crowder missed a shot, James personally grabbed the defensive rebound and started immediately! Before everyone on the Mavericks team could react, James rushed straight into the penalty area of ​​the opposite half.

Jae Crowder, a rookie, was shocked and could only passively run behind James. However, how easy is it to force this "tank" to stop?

"LeBron's counterattack! Very fast! It seems like he wants to use the best way to fight back!"

The Mavericks players tried their best to run back, but veterans like Nowitzki and Carter and slow centers like Kaman were really powerless...

"Now the only Mavericks players are Jae Crowder and Yi, who were just scared out of their wits by James. They are following him closely! LeBron's counterattack is very fast. This is an excellent opportunity for the Heat to show momentum. Don't miss it!" Mike Bu Lin spat out the commentary as fast as he could, fearing that it would be half a beat slower than the scene on the field.

James ran towards the basket at full speed, and Jae Crowder gave up defense. He slowed down and watched James soar into the air. The rookie knew that he had no way to stop James, who had already picked up speed.

Yiyang jumped up with James heading towards the basket. He did not appear overwhelmed or panicked, or in other words, there was no time for Yiyang to panic.

Foul start? Or try to block?

James would not leave Yiyang time to answer multiple-choice questions. He raised his arms high and was about to smash the ball into the frame.

With no other choice, Yiyang had to use a two-hand blocking action used in volleyball games to prevent James from dunking. He raised his arms high, blocking James' basketball from the basket. If he had only used one hand, Yiyang would have probably broken his entire arm by James.

James was not polite and pushed the ball down with all his strength. The two forces collided violently in the air, and Carlisle couldn't help but stand up from the bench.

James' strength is so strong that Yiyang feels unstoppable even with his two hands. Strength is not Yiyang's strong point. In the air, he felt that his arms were sore and swollen, and he was about to be unable to support himself.

However, Yiyang did not give up, and he did not know what giving up meant. ??He only knows that he is also a MV candidate. Why can’t I win this award?

James continued to increase his strength, but still could not break through Yiyang's "block", which surprised the "little emperor". James's physical fitness allows him to dunk across the center, but now he has no way to dunk across the point guard Yiyang.

In fact, this is because Yiyang's take-off time is very suitable. If it had been any later, Yiyang would have had no chance to stop him, and would have been directly pinned down by James.

When James's body began to fall, Yiyang was still blocking the ball! In the end, the basketball was not squeezed anywhere under the pressure of the two people. Until James and Yiyang both landed on the ground, their hands were still pressing the basketball!

The referee immediately blew the whistle, and Yiyang thought the referee had called James a violation because he did not complete the shot after taking off. James believed that the ball was a foul on Yiyang because the physical confrontation between the two sides was very fierce. But the referee's decision made both sides very dissatisfied. He called a scrum! The referee believes that the ball does not belong to any party!

"Hat!?" Yiyang and James both opened their arms and complained to the referee. At this point, Yiyang and James were united.

The referee signaled that both sides still had their hands on the ball when they landed, so the scrimmage was a reasonable penalty.

Although he failed to directly win the ball for the Mavericks, Yiyang blocked James' final tomahawk dunk, which still made Mike Breen on the commentary table grow up.

"? How - can - be - possible?!" Brin shouted in a long voice. No one in this league has ever been able to forcefully push down James who was flying in the air, but Yiyang was The strong and strong Jae Crowder did the impossible even when he was afraid.

When James began to speed into the penalty area, and when Jae Crowder gave up defense, who would have the slightest confidence in this kid, thinking that he could stop the progress of the Miami Kings?

When James stretches his body in the air, who would believe that this kid would dare to reach out to block it?

But Yiyang did it. Although I don't know how he did it, the fact is that when he was defending James one-on-one, he successfully stopped the world's top basketball player!

The American Airlines Center Arena echoed with cheers of "Yiyang! Yiyang!"

Dinowitzki rushed back and hugged Yiyang, patted his back hard, and kept shouting: "Well done! Well done!"

Yiyang didn't say a word, but his performance undoubtedly greatly inspired his teammates. Seeing the Mavericks players gritting their teeth with excitement, Spoelstra knew that this bitter battle would not end so easily.

"Although the referee awarded a scrum, I have to admit that this direct confrontation also resulted in victory!" Mike Breen grabbed the microphone and personally announced that Yiyang had the upper hand again in the competition for the MV trophy.

On the field, Yiyang shook his sore arms. James' strength is really not overpowering. If the situation just now lasts for another one or two seconds, Yiyang can't guarantee that he will be able to persevere.

But after moving his uncomfortable arm, Yiyang immediately stood on the free throw line, making eye contact with James, ready to compete for the ball. Unlike Jae Crowder, Yiyang was not afraid of James' murderous eyes at all. He stared at the opponent firmly, as if he was confident about the next jump ball. On the contrary, James, this omnipotent "little emperor" was very surprised after being stopped by Yiyang.

The referee quickly stood between Yiyang and James with a basketball, and he seemed to feel a raging fire burning.

James swallowed, this Chinese guy is so fucking crazy!
