One Guard

Chapter 489: This is my territory

The disadvantaged Grizzlies originally hoped to rely on the outstanding performance of Bayless, a bench bandit, to pull the team back from the brink. However, Carlisle's clever use of Yiyang frustrated Lionel Hollins' wish.

Bayless looked so powerless in front of Yiyang. He suddenly changed from a bench bandit to a docile little sheep. He could only stretch his head and wait to be slaughtered by the hunter.

After the third quarter, Yiyang widened the point difference between the two teams to 17 points. For the Grizzlies, whose offensive capabilities are not strong, this point difference is so desperate.

"The game is not over yet. No one can give up until the last second!" During the break, Hollins punched in front of the players and shouted. But in fact, even Hollins himself has almost lost confidence in the game.

On the Mavericks side, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. Yiyang sat expressionlessly on the bench with a towel on his face. Everyone marveled at Yiyang's absolute control over the game. But Yiyang himself didn't seem to care at all.

"Being trailing by 17 points in the third quarter, the Grizzlies are rarely left behind by their opponents early. They are the strongest defense in the league, but they are still powerless in front of them. I don't know what the Grizzlies can do in the fourth quarter. How long do I hold on, I just know that this game will most likely have the first garbage time in the playoffs this season."

It's not that Barkley looks down on the Grizzlies' strength, but that a team like the Grizzlies is not suitable for a point-chasing battle. They may be able to keep the game anxious with an extremely slow pace and iron-clad defense, but once the score is stretched, Hollins has no good solution.

Let the black and white bears attack? They are not super scorers after all. Mike Conley is also a defender who is more organized than offensive. "Old Prince" Prince is not much better than Marion now. As for Tony Allen, if that guy can attack, the Grizzlies will not be able to keep him with only a few million US dollars in annual salary.

The Grizzlies' offensive weakness makes it difficult for them to stage a comeback victory. The situation has become obvious, and if the game develops normally, the Mavericks will definitely be able to win.

However, many Grizzlies fans and Mavericks haters don't think so. Since Gasol was able to perform a terrifying scoring performance in the first quarter, why couldn't he perform a second time?

Many people feel that the Mavericks are not qualified to win the game. Even though they have won the O'Brien Cup once, in the minds of many people, the Mavericks are still a "regular season team."

During the regular season, they can block and kill gods, but in the playoffs, the Mavericks will definitely show their true colors. But since Yiyang joined the Mavericks, this is the third consecutive year that they have not "revealed their true colors." Such a qualitative change is still not used by many fans.

"Boss, do you think the Grizzlies still have a chance?" Hayward stretched. By now, the game has lost the excitement at the beginning. If it weren't for the hustle and bustle of the scene, Hayward might have fallen asleep on his chair.

"As far as the entire series is concerned, the Grizzlies still have a chance. But if it's just about this game..." Steven paused and shook his head. "Garbage time has actually begun. Yiyang completely controlled the rhythm and process of the game. In just one quarter of the game, the Grizzlies were unable to break his dominance."

After the fourth quarter started, the Grizzlies still sent out their starting lineup. They are very hard-working on the defensive end, and it is common for them to fall off their backs. But on the offensive end, the Grizzlies still haven't improved.

Conley was so guarded by Yiyang that he didn't even have many chances to take a shot. Gasol and Randolph shot from left to right, but two-pointers and two-pointers couldn't close the gap. What the Grizzlies needed was a wave of offensive climax. . What's more, the Black and White Bears can't hit two points every time they attack.

The point difference sometimes became 13 points, and sometimes it was widened back to 17 points. But no matter how hard the Grizzlies tried, they just couldn't close the gap to single digits.

"The Grizzlies' offense is really weak. If this team had a scorer, the situation would not be like this."

"The weak offense is one thing, and their defensive advantage has not been used at all. Coach Hollins' double-teaming tactic against Yi today is undoubtedly a failed decision. Not only did the double-teaming not achieve any effect, but it also completely liberated Liao Yi’s ability.”

After saying this, Buckley looked at Yiyang's data on the tablet. 26 points and 13 assists, what is this concept? Today, Paul, who also performed well in the playoffs, had 17 points and 7 assists. The Clippers' opponent, the Nuggets, is definitely not as good defensively as the Grizzlies.

When people were cheering for Paul's first playoff victory after joining the Clippers, the statistics of the Western Conference All-Star backup point guard had already surpassed Paul by a long way!

What's more, the game is not over yet, and Yiyang's data may still continue to rise. Barkley shook his head. Facing such an opponent, do you still want to win the Grizzlies?

While thinking, Yiyang sent another wonderful pass, assisting Nowitzki to take off from the basket and score a layup. This pass allowed the German, who had not performed well this season due to injuries, to score 20 points. It also helped the Mavericks widen the point difference to 21 points 6 minutes before the end of the game.

After this goal, Hollins called to stop the game again. He knows very well that the Grizzlies are completely frustrated now, and no matter what he says, it will be difficult to reverse the situation. But as a head coach, Hollins couldn't help but watch the team "die" like this.

Hollins had no choice but to say something encouraging. But he was encouraging off the court, but he couldn't let the players make shots.

On Carlisle's side, the academic coach replaced all the starting five with a wave of his hand. Although the game will end in 6 minutes, Carlisle believes that there is no suspense in this game.

"Coach Carlisle replaced all the main players, which means that the Mavericks lit up the cigar of victory!" Barkley spread his hands and looked at the score on the big screen in disbelief.

This game was considered to be the most suspenseful, intense and unpredictable, but it resulted in the largest score difference of the day. And it was Yiyang who made all this suspense disappear.

Before the game was over, ESPN couldn't wait to select Yiyang as the best player of the game. They simply ignored the game screen and started to broadcast the highlights of Yiyang's game.

Scores, passes, defense, breakthroughs...all the exciting scenes in basketball games, you can see them in Yiyang today.

Surprisingly, although the game has ended, there are still no fans leaving the American Airlines Center early. They cheered with joy, celebrating their first victory in the playoffs.

Before the start of the playoffs, the Mavericks, who finished third in the Western Conference and had a record of 57 wins, were ridiculed as a "regular season team." The media in Memphis even claimed that under the Grizzlies' defense, it would be difficult for the Mavericks to score more than 85 points. But what now? 103 to 82, but the score did not exceed 85, and it became the Grizzlies themselves.

This victory, this pride, the fans want to show it to the world!

When Hollins, who was sitting on the bench, heard the buzzer sounding at the end of the game, he seemed to hear the sound of nature. The most grueling game of the season is finally over!

Just as the reporters were about to rush into the stadium to interview the players, what happened next made everyone dumbfounded.

I saw all the Mavericks fans standing up, some waving Yiyang's jerseys, and some holding up signs praising Yiyang. Then, without anyone directing them, they chanted in unison - "MVP! MVP! MVP!"

There is no doubt that this voice belongs to Yiyang. Being shouted MVP by the home fans is an honor in itself for a professional player. This means that you not only defeated your opponent, but also won the hearts of the fans.

"I can't remember how many times this season the American Airlines Center has heard the shouts of MVP. It seems that if Yiyang doesn't win the MVP, they won't stop!"

"After all, Dallas really needs a new hero to lead the team back to the top." Mike Breen stood up with the fans. He was witnessing the birth of a legend.

The Grizzlies players walked into the tunnel in despair, but no one paid attention to them at this time, and few reporters even came forward to interview the Grizzlies players.

Yiyang became the focus of the entire stadium. Faced with such overwhelming shouts, this dull boy still did not make any fierce celebrations.

He just pointed hard at the floor and yelled something.

In the middle of the noisy scene, no one could hear clearly what Yiyang said. But through the mouth shape, everyone can judge those words very well.

"Thisismyhouse!"

The man who had won all the praise stood at the Mavericks' logo on the court and shouted loudly.
