One Guard

Congolese Serge Ibaka blocked Nowitzki's inevitable layup. After the Thunder attacked, "Old Fish" Fisher's jump shot was interfered by Dirk who came in from defense. Can hit.

The two teams fought hard for two consecutive rounds. However, this has become the norm at the end of the third quarter. The originally exciting game suddenly became boring due to the absence of Yiyang and Durant. It is difficult for Nowitzki, who is no longer young, to compete with Ibaka, and the Thunder, which has lost Harden and Westbrook, also responds with a "civilian lineup".

The scoring of both sides suddenly came to a standstill, and the fans watching the game in front of the TV were drowsy. In the luxury box, Thunder general manager Presti had drunk countless glasses of red wine. He really couldn't believe that the game at this time and the half that had just ended were played by the same two teams.

"After losing the two superstars Yi and Durant, the game scene became quite dull. But it is worth mentioning that with the persistence of Nowitzki and Darren Collison, the Mavericks gradually shrank. They were originally behind by 17 points at halftime, but now they were only 9 points away from equalizing the score. I think this is the result that all Thunder fans don't want to see. Because when Yiyang returns in the fourth quarter, Once we get to the court, the 9-point difference will definitely be filled in quickly!”

"You can't say that about Charles. The reason why the Thunder's offense is weak now is because KD, the three-time scoring champion, is not on the court. The game will also come back in the fourth quarter, and Kevin will also come back. By then, will the score be opened or will It’s not necessarily narrowed. In the first half, Durant attacked with all his strength, but widened the point difference to 17 points.” Beside Barkley, O’Neal was still singing the opposite tune. The 9-point difference is indeed not big, but who can beat Yiyang and Durant is much more complicated than the 9-point difference.

While the commentators were arguing about this, an electronic buzzer sounded. At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder maintained the lead while the Mavericks narrowed the gap. At this time, all TV cameras were focused on Yiyang and Durant. The performance of these two guys in the last quarter of the game will directly affect the final outcome!

"You did a great job. At least those guys from the Thunder didn't widen the point difference again! But don't take it lightly. The hardest part is yet to come." After the players were all off the court, Carlisle clapped his hands. "Also, you will come on the field at the beginning of the fourth quarter. I want you to last for the whole quarter. Is there no problem!?"

Yiyang was not surprised when he heard the news that he was about to play a whole section. If it weren't for this, Carlisle wouldn't have replaced himself in advance to rest just now.

So, the Mavericks, another foreign leader after Nowitzki, made an "OK" gesture and nodded slightly. Yiyang still said nothing, but gave the team confidence.

"Kevin, there is no need to hide in the fourth quarter, use your strongest firepower! Remember, you have unlimited firepower! I allow you to take action anywhere and at any time! As long as you can bring victory , I don’t give a damn what you do!” On the other side, Coach Brooks also played his strongest trump card.

Durant, who has rested for a while, is already ready to make a move. Look at Russell, this time, we refuse to fail!

The short break between sections seems very long to the fans. Everyone knows that Yiyang and Durant are destined to perform as hot as Mars hitting the earth in the next 12 minutes. Durant wants to keep his home court, while Yiyang hopes to continue the team's good momentum. This is a war without a tie. Both the MVP and the three-time scoring champion must come up with something real to kill the other.

When the players walked onto the court one after another, the referee signaled the Thunder to go to the baseline for a kickoff. The fans in the stands of Chesapeake Energy Arena suddenly burst into laughter. The Mavericks overused Nowitzki and Collison in the third quarter, which forced Carlisle to take a rotation at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Looking at the lineup of the Mavericks on the field at this time, the Thunder fans almost laughed out loud.

Mayo was once famous but is now almost forgotten. Jae Crowder played quite well in his rookie season without many bright spots. Yi Jianlian, who only played 41 times in the regular season and averaged only 5.2 points per game, and Troy Murphy, who you would have thought had retired unless you told him.

"What is Rick Carlisle doing!?" Not only the Thunder fans, but also Barkley became furious after seeing the lineup sent by the Mavericks.

"It seems that coach Rick Carlisle raised the white flag in advance. Even if he was present, it would be difficult for the four teammates around him to be motivated. To put it bluntly, the four of them are not even playoff-level players. Is Carlisle still there? Hope, can the myth of the best partnership with Mayo be reappeared?" This time, O'Neal's pace was surprisingly consistent with that of Barkley, and no one could understand the lineup sent by Carlisle!

However, "Administrator" Cardinal, who had retired at home, giggled at the TV. The Dallas Mavericks will never trust anyone they can’t trust! If you ask Bosh, he will definitely tell you that he has not forgotten the horror of being dominated by Cardinal. Wasn't Cardinal also a fringe player on the bench at that time? Pushing the time forward a few years, when Yiyang played in a Mavericks jersey, wasn't it also considered a stupid substitution? Carlisle, this guy, never hires people randomly!

Seeing that the Mavericks' on-field lineup is so "easy to bully", the Thunder's confidence is naturally boosted. These guys are so confident that they dare to let Perkins, a center with almost no offensive ability, attack inside.

Although Yi Jianlian and Murphy are not inside monsters, when Perkins takes off and the Mavericks' two inside players help defend at the same time, the strong Perkins still feels very difficult.

In the air, Perkins forced the ball toward the basket. However, since the referee did not blow the whistle, Hu Da's attack naturally failed to hit this time.

"Although Murphy and Yi's defense is not outstanding, Perkins' shot selection is too rash." Barkley shook his head. The Thunder were wasting their own opportunities.

Although the offense failed, the Thunder players were not worried. We can't score, can the Mavericks score with a bunch of ridiculous guys?

In everyone's eyes, the only threat to the Mavericks is Yiyang! As long as Yiyang is watched to death, the Mavericks' offense is watched to death.

Therefore, when Yiyang broke through with the ball, people could see that all five members of the Thunder team shrank back toward Yiyang. Like a soldier carrying a pack of explosives, Yiyang bravely rushed into the local encirclement.

Just when everyone thought Yiyang was bound to die, the No. 1 defender jumped up and threw the ball away from the three-point line. Outside the three-point line, the two insiders, Troy Murphy and Yi Jianlian, are waiting for the ball! In a lineup with both inside players outside the three-point line, I have to admit that Carlisle's tactical arrangement is really bold!

The basketball was passed to Murphy's hands, and the white insider took the shot calmly and seemed to have a very soft touch.

The Thunder players stared blankly up at the basketball, waiting for a counterattack. However, it was this Murphy, who was almost forgotten by people, who hit a key three-pointer in the playoffs!

"Three-point hit! Troy Murphy! When he received the basketball, there were no defensive players within two meters of him! The Thunder chose to block it, while Carlisle chose to bet on the performance of these role players. !" Barkley wanted to yell after seeing Murphy shoot, but when the ball went in, the guy immediately changed his tune. Sure enough, no matter how bad the impression you have left on people before, as long as you can score goals, you can win respect!

The Thunder didn't expect that they would suffer from a player like Troy Murphy, but what they didn't expect even more was that Durant's three-point shot actually missed the frame due to Jae Crowder's lifeless interference. .

Although Jae Crowder has average talent, he is really active in playing basketball. When Durant takes off and takes a shot, Crowder is like a lion pouncing on his prey. He is fierce, bloodthirsty, and desperate, even if he wants to bring Durant down completely!

Under this fierce defense, Durant disrupted his shooting rhythm. Ibaka and Perkins wanted to show off their rebounding abilities in front of Yi Jianlian and Murphy. It would be even better if he could directly take off and dunk on the spot after grabbing the rebound.

But unfortunately, Murphy and Yi Jianlian tried their best to block the Thunder's inside combination. Leave the rebound to Yiyang to collect.

Yiyang held the ball and, needless to say, stepped on the "accelerator" to the bottom!

The fans seemed to hear a "swish" sound, and the super sports car produced in the mysterious East rushed to the basket and easily succeeded in the layup.

Yiyang didn't dunk because he knew he had to save his energy as much as possible now. Playing 12 minutes in the fourth quarter is no easy task.

In a blink of an eye, the Thunder, which led by 17 points at halftime, now only have a 4-point lead. From 17 points to 4 points, Thunder fans didn't even realize what happened.

Yiyang brings the team's ability to survive in adversity, which has really reached the level of MVP!

The Thunder fought back again, and Durant, who still had unlimited firing rights, took the last shot.

No matter how active Jae Crowder is, there is still a ten Marion gap between him and Durant. This time, Durant's realistic fake shot directly knocked Crowder away. A rookie will always be a rookie, and it's easy to get lost.

Durant picked up Crowder and then made a decisive breakthrough. He took a step forward and raised his long arms and started to kill towards the basket.

Yi Jianlian actively defended in front of Durant. Durant did not hesitate. How could Yi Jianlian stop him!

As a result, the two of them bumped into each other. Yi Jianlian's body is already very strong among Asian players, but he still can't withstand such a slap from the "skinny" Durant.

"Ah!" Yi Jianlian deliberately shouted and fell to the ground. The basketball hit the net and Durant signaled to the referee that it was a two plus one!

Sure enough, the referee blew the whistle, and the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena burst into cheers. But after a second, the whole place fell silent. The referee faced the technical table and gestured to the Thunder for an offensive foul!

"Offensive foul! Hahaha, Yi Jianlian has made a contribution! Those players who we thought were the least useful have shown their value!"

Yi Jianlian bravely committed a foul, which naturally won him the cheers of his teammates. Yiyang and Murphy reached out and pulled up the highest-level player in the Chinese team system. Who says he is of no help to the team in the NBA?

An offensive foul was called and the Mavericks gained the ball. Yiyang pushed forward again. If this attack was successful, the Thunder's advantage would be almost exhausted.

With the lessons learned from the last time, this time the Thunder deliberately followed Murphy and Yi Jianlian to prevent these two insiders from getting three-point shooting opportunities.

The Thunder was short-circuited inside, which was simply a breeding ground for Yiyang to break through.

Reggie Jackson? This guy is just a master who waits for his teammates behind him to make up defense after being passed over. Yiyang didn't even change direction. He just used a sudden stop and start rhythm change to pass by Reggie Jackson.

Durant came to cover the defense, and the offensive foul just made KD suffocating his anger.

Yiyang seemed to have no intention of escaping. He was staring at the basket and was about to take three steps to attack!

Just when Yiyang took the first step, his eyes fell on Jae Claude, who was standing in the bottom corner. Durant's eyes became frightened, and he quickly returned to defense. Jae Crowder is a shooting player. Giving him an open shot is no different from giving him a three-pointer! This guy Yiyang is so cunning! But this time, your breakthrough goal will never be successful!

If there was someone in this alliance who could interpret Yiyang's eyes, then he would be no different from being able to predict the future. Can anyone in this world predict the future? Not sure, but this is definitely not Durant.

Yiyang looked at Claude, this was just a fake move!

When Durant retreated to defend, Yiyang's passing action still didn't happen! Under Durant's horrified eyes, Yiyang was able to pass by the hesitant man.

A beautiful three-step layup, but the fans didn't see the magic. But Durant was deceived by Yiyang's fake eyes and was at a loss.

The basketball crashed into the net, and the score difference was only 2 points. Scott Brooks stopped the game. The Mavericks' "ridiculous" lineup made it impossible for the young coach to laugh at all.

What about Durant? He looked at Yiyang and then at Jae-Claude with a confused look on his face. The point difference is just 2 points left?

"My name is Durant, and I'm in a panic right now."

After Chinese fans saw Durant's expression, they started making fun of him online.
