One Guard

Chapter 697: Challenge the three giants

Christmas has always been a day for Yiyang to reunite with family and friends. It was last Christmas that gave Yiyang the idea of ​​marrying Vignali back home. No matter how hard life is, Christmas Day is always beautiful for Yiyang.

But working on Christmas Day was the first time in Yiyang's career. In fact, this means that Yiyang and his Dallas Mavericks have truly become the best team in the league. Because only teams with both strength and commercial value are qualified to play the Christmas game.

Obviously, the current Mavericks fit this requirement very well. They are the defending champions, they have superstars like Yiyang, Dirk and Wade, and they just broke a 130-year-old record. They are the meat and potatoes of the entire alliance and the focus of the world.

There is no reason for a team like this to lose the Christmas Day game. No one can refuse the pleasant life of watching a battle between the Mavericks and the Cavaliers after having Christmas dinner with the family.

Speaking of the Mavericks and Cavaliers, there is actually no dispute between the two teams. One is in the east and the other is in the west, and they will not meet each other in the playoffs. The only dispute is that Owen once killed the Mavericks on Yiyang's head, but that is already an old thing. Except for the "stingy" Yiyang, probably not many people still remember it.

But after James joined the Cavaliers, everything became different. The Cavaliers instantly changed from a weak team to a championship candidate, and the Mavericks and Cavaliers also became the two biggest contenders for the O'Brien Trophy.

It can even be said that if it were not for Yiyang, James would not have been forced to make the decision 2.0. In this group, James was specifically organized to deal with Yiyang.

The various entanglements between the two sides on and off the court made the game extremely heated before it started. The scolding war between fans of both sides on the Internet, the media's follow-up reports, and the expensive tickets that have been sold out have long been sold out, which undoubtedly does not highlight the popularity of this game.

Yiyang drove on the street and found that advertisements for the battle between the Cavaliers and Mavericks were all over the city, even more than the Christmas trees on the street. In the hearts of Dallas fans, this game is even more important than Christmas.

Yiyang shook his head, it seemed that today was destined to be a hard night.

Early in the morning, the area around the American Airlines Center Arena was still deserted. But in a few hours, the place will be so crowded that even a car can’t be driven in.

Not long after Yiyang arrived, Wade also walked into the locker room. He looked serious and unsmiling, which was not the same as Wade usually.

You don't need to ask to know how much Wade wants to win this game. Although he and James are still brothers, this does not mean that Wade does not want to prove himself in front of James.

The main reason why James left Miami was because of Wade's poor performance during the Finals, which left him with no hope of winning the championship. So today, what Wade has to do is to show his best side and let James know that leaving Miami is the stupidest decision he has ever made in his life!

"Yeah, are you ready?" Wade sat in front of his locker and waited for the team doctor to put protective gear on his legs.

After taking two consecutive games off, Wade's hands have already been itchy.

"I was already prepared before going to bed yesterday, Dwayne." Yiyang walked up to Wade and stretched out his fist. "Let's have a big fight!"

※※※

When Yiyang saw the Cleveland Cavaliers again, their spirit was completely different from before. I have to admit that James is a great and amazing player. His arrival can turn a weak team that is bullied by others into a championship-level team. In this alliance, he may be the only one who possesses such magic power.

If you don’t believe it, look at Anthony. After he goes to the Knicks, the Knicks will still suck. Some people would say that James allowed the Cavaliers to rise because he had Irving and Love beside him. ., Stoudemire and Billups are not fuel-efficient lamps.

so,

Not everyone is like James, who can transform a team with his own strength.

After Love came on the court, he deliberately glanced at the Mavericks' half. Yesterday, his video went viral on the Internet. I believe that by now, everyone around the world who is paying attention to this game has seen that video.

Love does believe that the Mavericks are not as strong as they thought, and that Wade, who has been playing in and out this season, is not as strong as people think. As for Yiyang, Owen will fight him to the end. What's more, they still have the omnipotent LeBron?

Love smiled, then picked up the basketball and started to warm up.

Like Bosh, Love's data dropped sharply after joining the Cavaliers and joining James. Last season with the Timberwolves, Love averaged 26 points and 12 rebounds per game. This is undoubtedly a top insider's data.

But so far this year, Love has averaged only 16 points and 9 rebounds per game. The huge gap between the two sets of data is visible to the naked eye, and it seems that Love has dropped a level.

In fact, this is not because Love has become weaker, but because his role on the team has changed. Last season in the Timberwolves, he was the well-deserved first offensive point. But with the Cavaliers, Love's shooting order ranked behind James and Irving.

He averaged 18.4 shots per game last season, but he can only take 12.7 shots this season. This is the real reason for the decline in Love's data.

He is still very capable, so Love does have confidence.

The Cavaliers' Big Three look much stronger than their record.

So despite the fact that Love can only be a brush in the Timberwolves, and despite the fact that Irving has brought out three No. 1 picks in four years with the Cavaliers, James no longer needs to compromise these two juniors like he did with Wade, especially him. After completely evolving from an all-around attacker to a team engine, he can functionalize everyone in his system.

Love lost weight to open up more space, which is what Bosh did back then. Irving is more powerful than the aging Wade in singles, and he also has a lot more space-drawing effects. He is more suitable for James than Wade. What's even more rare is that when James gets older and needs to play healthy basketball, Irving has already begun to learn how to be a engine.

People say that the Cavaliers' record of 17 wins and 10 losses is too bad, but Yiyang knows it very well. 17 wins and 10 losses is not a reflection of the Cavaliers’ true strength at all!

As the warm-up progressed, Yiyang became more and more looking forward to the game. This year's Cavaliers are no weaker than the Miami Heat!

Before the game started, ESPN's frontline reporter specifically approached Yiyang for a pre-game interview. The content of the interview was as Yiyang expected, and it was related to Love.

"What do you think of the provocative video posted by the Cleveland Cavaliers' official Twitter account last night?"

"You call that provocation? I call that self-consolation. If the Cavaliers want to win, just come and get it. The premise is that they can get it." Yiyang smiled, but every word was full of murderous intent.

The game is about to begin and there is nothing to be humble about now. Cowboys and knights, only one can survive to the end.

Before the game started, Wade and James hugged each other on the sidelines. The behavior of his two sons naturally attracted the attention of all the cameras in the room.

Half a year ago, the two were fighting side by side for the championship. But now, one is wearing a Dallas Mavericks jersey and the other is wearing a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey, standing on opposite sides of each other. People can't help but lament that fate has played a trick on people.

"I think you understand my decision, Dwayne."

"Of course I understand, this is your career, you can decide anything. But then again, how many years have we not been opponents?" Wade said, clenching his fists.

"Hmph, I'll let you taste the taste of failure again today."

"Don't get too excited, LeBron."

After saying that, the two turned and left. From now until the end of the game, they are no longer brothers, but extremely jealous mortal enemies.

Defeat James? Wade had not had such thoughts in his mind for a long, long time.

"Merry Christmas, viewers. I believe you have finished a wonderful dinner with your family. It's time to bring out today's main course! The focus of the Christmas game, the Cleveland Cavaliers' away game against the Dallas Mavericks, has begun!"

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Gobert snatched the basketball away from Love. Like the Heat, the Cavaliers moved Love's fourth position to the center position, but instead of replacing the fourth position with a small forward like Spoelstra, they used the 2011 No. 4 pick Terry. Stan Thompson plays power forward.

In this way, the Cavaliers ensure both offense and defense. The Heat's huge disadvantage in the paint last season has not been forgotten.

Yiyang's first offense, Irving's defense, like most young point guards, did not stand up to scrutiny. But James is already ready to make a move, and this guy is ready to come over and defend Yiyang at any time.

Yiyang looked at the inside again. Love's weak frame protection ability will be an opportunity that the Mavericks can take advantage of!

Instead of a pick-and-roll, Yiyang passed the ball to Iguodala. This strong forward with a high basketball IQ is the Mavericks' second playmaker besides Yiyang. When Yiyang needs it, he can always give the ball to him to organize.

Subsequently, Yiyang showed off his superb running skills without the ball in front of Irving. Yiyang is proficient in running around screens, running counterattacks, and making sudden stops and starts.

When Yiyang returned to the right corner and received Iguodala's pass, Irving was already two positions away from Yiyang. And because Iguodala is holding the ball, it is impossible for James to help defend, otherwise Iguodala will immediately get an offensive opportunity.

James gritted his teeth, Wade's new teammate is really difficult to deal with!

After receiving the basketball, Yiyang hugged the ball with both hands and raised it above his head.

Irving jumped to block the ball like a last resort. He didn't want to be hit by Yiyang's three-pointer as soon as the game started.

Irving succeeded, he did not let Yiyang hit a three-pointer. Because Yiyang had no intention of shooting a three-pointer at all, after hitting Irving, Yiyang immediately started to speed up and hit the inside!

"Take up the defense, make up the defense!" James shouted as he dropped Iguodala and ran towards the penalty area. Love opened his arms and was ready to protect the basket.

Yiyang rushed in very quickly, with Love blocking in front and James chasing from the side. But when he broke through along the baseline and was about to reach the basket, he suddenly stopped dribbling behind his back. This change of pace caught both James and Love off guard.

James, who was about to leap up to block the shot, rushed over and ran out of the baseline. Love's tense nerves were also flashed.

After toying with the two of them, Yiyang accelerated again. Under Love's slow footsteps, he easily slipped the baseline and succeeded in a reverse layup.

"A beautiful goal, Yiyang gave us a shocking visual experience right from the start. The moment he broke through the emergency stop and braked, it was a stroke of genius!" Barkley applauded. Yiyang is now better on the offensive end. It's becoming more and more arbitrary.

James and Love glanced at each other. From breakthrough to finishing attack, Yiyang gave the three giants of the Cavaliers a taste of their power with just one attack!

Yiyang quickly retreated and high-fived Wade. Whether the Cavaliers can win or not is not up to you, Kevin Love.

From the very beginning, Yiyang gave Love a powerful response!

But soon, the Cavaliers regrouped and stormed through the half. James, Irving and Love all frowned!

Yiyang licked his lips. It seems that LeBron will not play "healthy basketball" today.

This guy wants to play for real!
