One Guard

Chapter 502: Bad luck, bad opponent

The game was paused again, and the Thunder players looked at each other, as if they didn't believe what had just happened.

Yiyang led Mayo, who had a bulging belly, Crowder, who was stunned, Murphy, who was too soft to be like the inside, and Yi Jianlian, who could only "fly a kite" on the outside, and forced the Thunder into a desperate situation!

Everyone was stunned. Even Barkley, who had always supported the Mavericks and Yiyang, did not expect that the situation would develop like this. Although all three of the seven points the Mavericks scored just now were related to Yiyang, one was a direct assist and two were direct scores.

But without Murphy's calm shooting, Yi Jianlian's brave blocking, and Jae Crowder's containment from beyond the three-point line, Yiyang would not have been able to do all this.

The Mavericks' lineup just now explains well why Yiyang can become the MVP. In addition to his personal offensive ability comparable to that of a scoring champion, Yiyang can also make those around him better. During the regular season, he led a group of outdated veterans to reach the top three in the Western Conference. Now, he brings a bunch of players that other teams may not even look at, forcing the Thunder to suspend the game.

The big screen at the scene began to play the scene of Yiyang just breaking through Durant for a layup. Through slow motion and close-up capture of the camera, people discovered how rich the fake movements in Yiyang's eyes were. So much so that even Durant was confused.

"You never know what this guy's next plan is, even his teammates don't know!" Barkley shook his head, such a defender is really scary!

All the Thunder players came off the court. Brooks looked at the heroes, but their faces were all filled with expressions of "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?". Indeed, from 17 points to 2 points, the Thunder's roller coaster decline caught the players on the court off guard, let alone the fans watching on the sidelines.

In the first half of the game, the Thunder got a taste of the sweetness from the somewhat arrogant Mavericks. But now, they have turned into ruthless cowboys who kill grizzly bears mercilessly! Facing the Mavericks, who showed their true strength, the Thunder were a little overwhelmed.

"Hey, cheer up! Defense, where is our defense!? The Mavericks have more than just one player. How can you leave others alone?" Brooks knows very well that facing the Mavericks, only people Man-to-man defense can stop this team from getting wide open. If you let the Mavericks open up completely, the situation will be more difficult than letting Yiyang score alone!

Yiyang scores alone, and Durant can compete with Yiyang. But if the Mavericks open up, it will be difficult for Brooks to close.

Durant gradually recovered from his dazed state. He remembered his promise to Westbrook and his determination not to lose to the Mavericks again. Now, Durant needs to completely forget about the 17-point difference and play the game as if it has just begun. Mentality issues sometimes affect the performance of players on the court. A large part of the reason why Yiyang's performance is stable is because his mentality rarely fluctuates. Now, what Durant is doing is getting his mentality right.

However, when the Thunder returned to the field, Carlisle's starting lineup had also been replaced. The "firefighters" just completed their tasks well. Next, the main force of the Mavericks will close the game!

The Thunder's morale has dropped to freezing point. They were beaten by the Mavericks' rotation just now, and now they have even less confidence in facing the main force.

Reggie Jackson didn't dare to throw the ball. He was afraid that the Mavericks player would suddenly come out and intercept the ball. Jackson drove himself crazy, and it was not until 8 seconds before the end of the 24-second attack time that he nervously handed the ball to Durant.

Durant only caught the ball at this time and had already lost his best offensive opportunity. Now that he wants to get rid of Marion, time no longer allows him.

Marion still couldn't block Durant, who was tall and long-armed, but Durant couldn't hit a shot amid interference. The Thunder's offense failed again, and the Mavericks were suppressed after half the game.

Finally got the first chance to overtake the score!

At this point in the game, every Mavericks player is gearing up, hoping to stage a shocking comeback. The Thunder players were a little panicked, fearing that their 17-point advantage would be suddenly broken.

Yiyang was still considerate and solved the problem without worrying the Thunder players for too long. In the process of advancing with the ball, Yiyang threw a long pass, and the basketball flew over everyone's heads under the astonished eyes.

Old Carter jumped up unexpectedly and caught the ball in the air.

"What's going on?" The whole audience was confused again, and then Carter dunked in an alley-oop.

"Boom!" The basket made a loud noise, and people thought they had traveled back to the year 2000. At that time, it was not surprising that Carter completed the aerial work. But now Carter, whose beard is a little gray, comes to play the alley-oop again, which is a bit unexpected.

"Just after he crossed the midfield line, he sent out a wonderful pass to help Carter perform an alley-oop dunk that traveled through time and space. The Thunder's defense is really full of loopholes! The equalizer started in the eighth minute of the second quarter. The scores between the two sides are tied for the first time!" Mike Breen wiped the sweat from his forehead. The Dallas Mavericks are indeed not the kind of group that is willing to raise the white flag. Now the Thunder players don't have to worry about the score being tied, because it has already happened!

Just having defensive loopholes is actually not terrible. Who dares to say that his defense will definitely be able to keep opponents clean? The scary thing is that the opponent has a defender who can turn holes into points at any time!

Just now, everyone wanted to see how Yiyang would counterattack, and they didn't care at all about where a player like Carter was. Yet it was this inattention that helped Carter gain acclaim. The reason why these players are willing to run is because of Yiyang's words during halftime.

When you see someone younger than you and more talented than you are still working hard, as a man, do you still have the nerve to hang out in the league?

The Thunder's subsequent counterattack was still executed by Durant. The small forward, who had unlimited firepower, finally made a shot, allowing the Thunder to break their scoring drought. But Durant, the three-time scoring champion, still came too late. The Mavericks' momentum has been fully unleashed. If they try to suppress them at this time, they may not be able to suppress them.

Fierce, this is the intuitive experience Marion's defense brought to Durant after he resumed his attack. This group of red-eyed cowboys don't care about anything at all now. If it weren't for the league's regulations that players are not allowed to bring equipment on the field, Marion might be defending with a knife now.

Although Durant scored the ball, he couldn't relax in his heart. Deep down, KD was afraid, afraid of the cooperation between the Mavericks and Yiyang Xingyunliushui. Afraid...afraid of losing this originally advantageous game at home.

As a Chinese saying goes, whatever you fear will come to you. In the United States, such a simple statement is called "Murphy's Law" - if you are worried about something happening, then it is more likely to happen!

Durant silently said in his heart that the Mavericks must not score, they must not score. So, Nowitzki's shot passed through the net, and he also fouled Ibaka and hit a three-pointer!

Durant silently remembered that Dirk's free throw must not be made, so Nowitzki made the free throw steadily despite the boos of the audience, and the three-pointer was successful!

"And Dirk's classic pick-and-roll tactics are back. Although Dirk is no longer the invincible tank that could kill the Heat on his own. But Nowitzki can still play a role on the battlefield."

Now, the point difference has been widened a little. Everyone on the Mavericks is like a group of bloodthirsty perverted killers, cutting into the flesh of the Thunder for pleasure in torturing their opponents.

Durant didn't want to be the backdrop for the Mavericks' reversal today. He gave up his extremely precise outside shooting in the first half and instead chose to hit the basket.

But is it really a wise choice to go inside and fight against a bunch of people?

Although Kaman is not a top frame-protecting center, at least his tonnage and height are definitely qualified. When Durant broke through all the obstacles and finally reached the inside, he collided with Kaman, a big human shield, and his arm went limp, and the basketball failed to advance again!

"No!" Thunder fans held their heads in pain one by one. God gave them a candy, and then slapped them hard in the face.

Durant still missed the layup. Yiyang, who was showing his momentum, slowly controlled the ball past half-court, and seemed to intend to use the pass to cut through the Thunder's defense.

Just as everyone in the Thunder team was watching their opponent attentively, trying to block Yiyang's passing route. However, Yiyang turned himself into a bullet, inserted it directly into the heart of the Thunder Team, and then burned himself.

Yiyang relied on Reggie Jackson to get inside and bravely went straight to the layup. Congolese Ibaka accidentally tripped down the extremely fast Dallas No. 1 after Yiyang took off. The huge inertia made Yiyang almost fly out of the court.

Yiyang fell heavily into the group of reporters and knocked over several reporters. This attack was a complete disaster. But after Yiyang lost his center of gravity, the basketball he threw up fell into the net as if it had eyes. Yiyang burned himself in exchange for a chance to hit a three-pointer! At this time, the hearts of the Thunder players were really cold. How do you win when you play with such a group of lunatics?

Nowitzki and Carter rushed into the press area anxiously and pulled Yiyang up from the crowd. Yiyang fell to the ground, the painful expression on his face not dissipating. But after seeing Carter and Dirk, the first thing Yiyang asked was: "Did the ball go in?"

"I think you have to get up and see their desperate expressions in person!" Nowitzki smiled. Yiyang could still ask this, which meant that he was fine.

Yiyang was "picked out" from the crowd by his teammates. He rubbed his sore chest and then walked straight to the free throw line.

At this time in Dallas, countless fans cheered for Yiyang's overall arm. In Oklahoma, the scene became lifeless.

Thunder fans booed with all their strength. They banged the air sticks in their hands crazily to make a "bang bang bang" noise, and even held up a sexy photo of Vignelli. Let Yiyang be distracted. But on the basketball court, none of this works for Yiyang.

Compared to the humiliating insults in the past, compared to the disdainful laughter of his opponents, and compared to people's personal attacks on his skin color, what does this little interference mean?

Yiyang patted the ball twice and put it firmly into the basket. The Mavericks succeeded in their second consecutive three-pointer, and the point difference gradually widened. The most frightening thing is that the Thunder's confidence is also gradually disintegrating.

In the subsequent games, people did not see the confrontation between Yiyang and Durant. Because even Durant himself seems lost.

How many people can remain calm in the face of such ups and downs in just 48 minutes of the game?

With 1 minute and 30 seconds left before the end of the game, Yiyang assisted Nowitzki and hit his third three-pointer of the day from beyond the three-point line. The point difference on the field also became 13 points. Only this time, it's the Oklahoma City Thunder that are trailing by double digits!

"28 points, 13 assists, 2 blocks and 4 steals! Cheer for the new king of the league! This is the fate of being an enemy of the MVP!" Barkley looked at Brooks sitting in a daze on the bench and suddenly felt What happened to the Thunder this year is really pitiful.

Even if you lose Westbrook, you still have the worst opponent.

Everyone in the Thunder team should quickly adjust their mentality, and then... come back next year...
