One Guard

Chapter 716: Three-point incident

In January, he won 11 consecutive victories and survived two consecutive back-to-back battles. The Mavericks' tenacity has disgraced countless so-called "experts."

The predicted low period did not come, and the Mavericks instead hit a beautiful climax in January.

With 47 wins and 4 losses, the Mavericks' impressive record has also caused people to start discussing the possibility of the Mavericks breaking the Bulls' 72-win record.

"It's impossible because there is no player on the Mavericks team who can compare with Michael Jordan."

"Of course it is possible. If the Mavericks continue to play with this momentum, let alone a tie, there is hope for breaking the record!"

"The record of 72 wins in a single season is a record that is almost impossible to be broken in NBA history. I admit that the Mavericks this season are very close, but it is only close."

"In 51 games, the Mavericks have only lost four. If you can't break a team like this, who can?"

Regarding this matter, major media outlets are also arguing endlessly. The 72-win record set by Jordan and the Bulls that year is indeed legendary. To lose only ten games in 82 regular season games, in addition to being strong, it also needs to maintain a good state throughout the season.

However, in that era, maybe only Jordan and his teammates could do it. Their achievements have proven to be unrivaled to this day. To break the record set by the Bulls is indeed incredible.

However, in addition to the Mavericks' impressive record in January, there is another thing that makes Dallas Mavericks fans cheer.

On January 30, the NBA officially announced the starting lineup for the 2015 New York All-Star Game. Yiyang defeated Paul last year. This year, Yiyang defeated Curry as the vote leader and once again served as the starting point guard for the Western Conference All-Star Team in the NBA All-Star Game.

The Warriors and Curry this season can be said to have subverted everyone's understanding of basketball. The Mavericks' record of 47 wins and 4 losses is terrifying, but the Warriors' record of 37 wins and only 8 losses should not be underestimated!

If it weren't for the Mavericks, the Warriors should have become the most dazzling team in the league this season!

Curry also ranked second in the NBA All-Star voting this year. If it weren't for Yiyang, Curry would have become the vote leader.

There is no way, the shock level Curry has brought to the league this season is no less than that of Yiyang. With an average of 44.3% three-point shooting per game, Curry and the Warriors have completely created an unprecedented style of play that relies on three-point shooting to win games.

It used to be said that shooting alone couldn't kill the game. But the Warriors' impressive record of 37 wins and 8 losses has made this statement history.

Shooting alone can really kill you!

However, because Yiyang and the Mavericks have better records, and Yiyang's ability to control the game is obviously better than Curry, Yiyang still retains his position as the vote king.

Yiyang is also the third player in the NBA in the past 20 years to be elected as the All-Star vote winner for two consecutive years.

It is worth mentioning that the Mavericks now have two of the three All-Star Game vote-getters for two consecutive years. After all, the first person to win the top vote was Vince Carter!

And another Yao Ming, who can become the All-Star Game ticket leader for two consecutive years, is from the same country as Yiyang.

The three voting kings all have a close relationship, which makes people sigh. Coincidences in reality are sometimes more dramatic than coincidences in reality.

"No, this is not a legacy, to be honest. Yi's achievements have surpassed mine. To be elected as the king of votes, he is more qualified than me before!"

Naturally, reporters also conducted interviews with the two old and new voting champions. Carter was very humble about the fact that Yiyang could also be elected as the voting champion for two consecutive years.

Yiyang is naturally not arrogant. When he answered reporters, he also said that without his teammates and coaches, he would not have achieved what he has today.

In short, with 11 consecutive victories in January and being elected as the All-Star vote winner for two consecutive years,

Yiyang has once again become the most popular player in the league, bar none.

There is a lot of news about Yiyang every day if you just click on any web page. In China, Yiyang's popularity has far surpassed that of Yao Ming.

This season, James, who has a poor record, and Durant, who is out for the season, have both been eclipsed. The entire alliance belongs to Yiyang and Curry. Curry is also considered to be the only star in the league who can compete with Yiyang.

But at this moment, an accident happened, but the two most powerful stars in the league were connected again.

On February 2, after the Mavericks once again defeated the Timberwolves at home and won 12 consecutive games, the NBA officially announced the list of participants for this season's All-Star Three-Point Challenge.

Among them, Curry and Thompson are among them. In fact, this is not the first time the two have participated in the All-Star Three-Point Contest. However, due to the extremely popular Warriors this season, the performance of the "Splash Brothers" in the three-point contest has attracted much attention.

But no matter how lively the three-point contest is, it has nothing to do with Yiyang. Ever since he won a slam dunk title, Yiyang basically had no interest in playing these individual events.

Every year during the All-Star Weekend, paddling in the main game is Yiyang's only goal. The intensive regular season had already made him exhausted. After a long weekend, Yiyang didn't want to be so tired from working so hard.

But what happened in the next two games changed everything.

On February 3, 2015, the San Antonio Spurs faced the Orlando Magic on the court. This season, the Spurs have been completely overshadowed by the Mavericks and Warriors, but they are still a strong team in the Western Conference. Facing an opponent like the Magic, it's natural not to get upset.

But unexpectedly, the Spurs' Italian striker Marco Belinelli injured his shoulder during the game. After the game, the Spurs team doctor and Belinelli himself announced at the same time that he would have no choice but to withdraw from this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest due to injury. .

As soon as this news came out, the alliance was like an ant on a hot pot. Having someone absent less than a week before the All-Star break is the most nerve-wracking thing.

Now, the league must find someone with enough weight and the ability to shoot three-pointers within a week to replace Belinelli.

On the Internet, Yiyang has undoubtedly become the most popular candidate.

"I really hope to see you play against the Splash Brothers in the three-point contest!"

"If I can participate in the three-point contest, I will buy all the tickets!"

"A showdown with Stephen in the three-point contest? Oh, that must be the most exciting three-point contest in NBA history!"

All fans are looking forward to the showdown between Yiyang and Curry. Seeing that the fans have such a strong reaction, the league has indeed extended an invitation to Yiyang.

However, when interviewed by reporters, Yiyang's answer disappointed the fans.

"Three-Point Contest? No, I have no plans to participate in the Three-Point Contest for the time being."

Although Yiyang's three-point shooting percentage this season is a good 38.9%, he is not a "shooter". Rather than taking long-range shots, Yiyang prefers to use passing and breakthrough to solve problems.

Therefore, Yiyang never thought about the three-point contest.

Now, all he can think about is how to kill the Warriors in tomorrow's game!

That's right, on February 4, 2015, in the focus game, the Dallas Mavericks faced the Golden State Warriors for the second time this season.

The scene when the two sides met for the first time this season is still fresh in the memory of fans. In that game, Yiyang controlled the situation with 30 points and 12 assists, and allowed Curry to shoot a measly 27% of his three-pointers.

Since then, fans have been looking forward to the second meeting between the two sides. Also looking forward to this game is Curry, who is eager to clear his name.

In the MVP rankings, he is second, second only to Yiyang. He was second in All-Star votes, second only to Yiyang. In terms of record, the Warriors ranked second, second only to Yiyang's Mavericks.

Second, second, second... Curry is tired of being suppressed by Yiyang, so in this game, Curry's performance is unprecedented.

After the first quarter of the game, everyone on the Mavericks team was stunned. The Warriors scored 42 points in a single quarter with a 65.5% shooting rate!

Their endless firepower from beyond the three-point line engulfed the Mavericks' defense entirely.

"Incredible shooting percentage, the Golden State Warriors are bound to complete their revenge at home today!" The experienced Mike Breen was frightened. Is this the Warriors with full firepower?

The Warriors seem to be a team that creates craziness. Some time ago, Thompson scored 37 points in the third quarter. Today, it was Curry who broke out in the third quarter.

Curry made all of his first five shots in this quarter. Under his leadership, the Warriors continued to consolidate their advantage. In fact, the Mavericks' offense in this quarter was very smooth under the leadership of Yiyang, but Curry was too crazy. He made 8 of 11 shots in this quarter, including 6 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 26 points on Yiyang's head. point! Yiyang's defense was not out of position, it was crazy, and Curry was able to score consecutive goals despite interference!

After three quarters, Curry has made 9 three-pointers and scored 41 points. The number of three-pointers made is a new high for him this season. It is also the eighth game of his career with 40+ points.

"Crazy, crazy, Stephen is completely crazy! He has also been crazy before, but believe me, those are not as crazy as today!"

"Being suppressed for a long time has made Stephen intolerable. He has long said that the Warriors will do their best today. But I didn't expect that they would do so well!"

Yiyang also gritted his teeth. Curry is Curry, and he is worthy of being the only star in the league who can compete with him. Even Yiyang found it incredible that this guy could still fight like this under such tight defense.

In the final quarter of the game, the high-spirited Warriors got off to a 7-0 start, but the Mavericks did not collapse. With 4 minutes and 24 seconds left in the game, Nowitzki scored 2+1, chasing the score to 109. Than 114! While marveling at the Warriors' terrifying firepower, people also admired the Mavericks' resilience. An average team might give up after being scored by 42 points in the first quarter. But Mavericks, under the leadership of Yiyang, came first!

Curry stepped forward again at the critical moment. After assisting Iguodala to score, he scored 7 points with consecutive free throws. Yiyang couldn't guard against him today, really couldn't. Yiyang went in with his face sealed, but Yiyang had no choice.

With 1 minute and 14 seconds left in the game, the Warriors regained a double-digit advantage 125-113. Carlisle shook his head. The Warriors were in great shape today, and maybe they won't be in such an incredible state again in the next five years. In today's game, there is no need for the Mavericks to waste any more energy. Because even God is on the side of the Warriors today.

So the Mavericks replaced all the main players and officially announced that they would give up the game. After that, Curry hit another three-pointer, and finally led the Warriors to defeat the Mavericks 128-114, successfully revenge!

Yiyang scored a huge double-double today with 35 points and 13 assists. It was even better than the last time the two sides met. It can be said that they tried their best. But Curry's 51 points in a single game and his terrifying three-point shooting percentage of 10 of 16 eclipsed Yiyang.

Curry scored 51 points in this game. This was the first time in his career that Curry scored 40+ points at home, setting a new personal record for scoring at home. At the same time, Curry hit 10 three-pointers in this game, setting a personal season high. This is also the most three-pointers made by a player in a game in the history of the Mavericks. The Warriors have scored 100 points in 19 consecutive games, the longest streak the team has had since 2008. The "Splash Brothers" have both scored 50+ points in games this season. This is the seventh time in history that at least two teammates have scored 50+ points in the same season...

The Warriors' victory set records one after another. Curry finally suppressed Yiyang once on the frontal battlefield!

In this regard, Yiyang was naturally very unwilling to lose! He really hopes that he is playing in the playoffs with the Warriors now, so that he can get revenge on Curry immediately.

But there is no other way. If he loses this time, it may take a long, long time for Yiyang to vent his anger.

But just when he was about to be interviewed by reporters, Yiyang had an idea. Now, there is an opportunity to fight Curry again! Although that "game" is different from a real game. But at least, it's better than doing nothing and just swallowing and losing.

"Mr. Yi, what do you think of Stephen Curry's performance of making 10 three-pointers today!?" At the press conference, Curry became the topic of greatest concern to reporters.

"I'm going to participate in this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest."

"Huh?" After hearing Yiyang's answer that seemed to have nothing to do with the question, the reporters were stunned.

"I want to participate in this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest!" Yiyang reiterated and clenched his fists.

Stephen, our competition is not over yet!
