One Guard

Chapter 723: McHale feels at ease

Yiyang knocked down Beverley and succeeded in a throw. This scene ignited the entire American Airlines Center Arena and ignited the passion of the Mavericks players. In the first two rounds, the Mavericks players were somewhat timid. But since Yiyang knocked down Beverley, the Rockets can clearly feel that the pressure of confrontation they have encountered has become greater.

This time, Beverley handed the ball to Harden just after halftime. As soon as Harden got the ball, Joey Dorsey immediately stepped forward to cover.

Even though Dorsey is only 2.03 meters tall, his strong body makes his cover quality very good.

Bypassing Wade, Harden drove straight in, trying to make trouble in the penalty area. But Harden never expected that Gobert could catch up quickly and give him a passionate French hot pot!

Under McHale's influence, Harden thought this would be a game he could win casually. But with such a positive performance from the opponent, is it really like playing two overtimes yesterday?

"Rudy once again defended his territory. The Rockets' offense was too simple. Moreover, they looked lackluster. Harden's breakthrough just now was lazy and felt like there was lead on his feet. Gobert On the contrary, I am as light as a swallow. I really don’t know where the Rockets’ vitality has gone.”

Although the basketball flew out of the baseline, the ball still belonged to the Rockets. But a blocked shot undoubtedly made the Rockets players feel even worse.

In the subsequent attack, Ariza caught the ball and shot from outside the three-point line. But Iguodala's interference made this guy's shot a little hasty. The basketball knocked out of the frame, and surprisingly, Joey Dorsey actually hit the backboard under Gobert's pressure!

Although Dorsey did not directly grab the rebound, it was already remarkable that he could prevent Gobert from grabbing the rebound.

It can be seen that Dorsey is very active and will do his best for every ball. But the rest of the Rockets seemed to lack this energy. Although the rebound was called out, in the end it was the more active Mavericks who controlled the ball. The Rockets' offense fails again, and it's up to the Mavericks to counterattack!

The only thing the Rockets did well today was their quick retreat. In the blink of an eye, they spread out their defensive formation.

Beverly also planned to fight a war of attrition with Yiyang, but it was obvious that Yiyang, who had defeated Beverly, did not intend to continue to struggle with this "hard and black".

Yiyang took advantage of Dirk's cover to accelerate the breakthrough, and then passed the ball to Wade who cut inside. Wade went straight to the basket, and the Rockets' defense shrank.

At this moment, the basketball jumped out from the gap in the crowd and fell into the hands of Nowitzki at the top of the arc outside the three-point line.

The Lithuanian Motyjunas was taken aback and quickly fell back on the defensive. But with his slow steps, he had no time to make amends, and Dirk's three-pointer came right away. 7 to 2, the Houston Rockets, who should have been more energetic, are now at a disadvantage! Yiyang's organizational ability allows the Mavericks to have very open opportunities.

McHale, who looked relaxed, moved his butt off the bench for the first time today. He seemed a little nervous.

Fortunately, on the next attack, the Rockets immediately responded with an alley-oop dunk. James Harden attracted the defense and assisted Joey Dorsey to complete the aerial work again!

Dorsey is very active whether he is covering, following up or finishing. Although he is the least valuable member of the Rockets, he is currently the most excited player on the team.

The Rockets now have 4 points, all of which came from Dorsey.

"European World of Warcraft is indeed well-deserved. Dorsey has shown his value on the court. Maybe he is short in height and has rough skills, but he always maintains passion! Passion, which is also crucial on the basketball court!" Barkley He glanced at Dorsey approvingly. This center, who is just over two meters tall, can even be said to be the best player in the Rockets so far.

Subsequently, Iguodala shot and hit the ball after receiving a pass from Yiyang. Under the basket, people were stunned to see Dorsey hit Gobert hard to get into position.

Then he jumped high and protected the defensive rebound!

Dorsey's positivity has begun to empower the Rockets. It is ironic to say that the person who injected strength into the Rockets was not the star Harden, nor the skills challenge champion Beverley, but a little-known "firefighter" who had left the NBA for four years.

Under Dorsey's energetic performance, the Rockets gradually closed the score. As the game became more intense, Carlisle could clearly see that the players' pace had begun to slow down.

So Carlisle stood up and glanced at the bench. The players on the bench were eager to try, they knew it was time for them to play!

After Harden used a beautiful crotch change to shake Wade, who had become sluggish, and scored a layup, the Rockets finally equalized the score. 10 to 10, both sides are back on the same starting line.

"The Mavericks players are already sweating profusely. The consequences of yesterday's double overtime are now beginning to show up." As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Carlisle called a timeout.

Seeing the Mavericks being stopped, McHale smiled disdainfully. It seems that I was a little too nervous just now.

"Yi, how do you feel?" Carlisle was the first to ask about Yiyang's situation. Others could rest early, but Yiyang had to hold on for a while. His performance will directly affect the performance of the entire team.

Yiyang nodded silently. Indeed, this guy seemed to be the most relaxed among the starting five.

"Then, everything goes as planned. The Rockets have no one to replace. Let's see who drags whom to death!" Carlisle began to write and draw on the tactical board, and the short pause time flew by quickly.

When the Mavericks players re-entered the court after the electronic buzzer sounded, everyone was stunned. Carlisle actually replaced four people at the same time, leaving only Yiyang in the starting lineup!

Tony Allen replaced Wade, Bazemore replaced Iguodala, Aminu replaced the German, and Dalembert entered the battle.

"Substitute in advance. Does Coach Carlisle plan to use this method to save the players' energy?"

"Humph, you're on the bench so soon. Guys, let me open up the score!" McHale waved his hand. In the first quarter, he was going to nail the Mavericks!

So, he replaced Joey Dorsey and let Terrence Jones come on early. Originally, McHale used Dorsey as a fake starter, and Jones was his real starting center!

Helpless, both the Mavericks fans at the scene and Barkley on the commentary desk felt very helpless.

Sometimes the game itself is not fair. The Mavericks played double overtime yesterday, but the Rockets had eight days of rest before. Is this fair? Not fair at all. But the NBA regular season is like this, there will always be unfair situations.

Seeing Yiyang coming with the ball, the entire Rockets team focused on him. With all the main players gone, Yiyang will be the Mavericks' only attack point!

Yiyang slowed down his pace after crossing the midfield line. He raised his hand to direct his teammates to move. Just when the speed of the entire audience slowed down, Yiyang suddenly started to speed up!

This time, Beverly was caught off guard. All the Rockets players shrank towards Yiyang, and the scene became one-on-five for a time.

But no one noticed that Aminu did not follow into the penalty area, but waited outside the three-point line.

Guys like Aminu who appear to be "harmless" are indeed often ignored by people.

But this kind of neglect allowed him to get more scoring opportunities!

Yiyang gritted his teeth and stared at the basket, looking like he was definitely going to attack!

As soon as No. 1 raised his hand, three Rockets players "flyed" into the sky, preparing to block the ball.

However, Yiyang didn't go for a layup, but swung the ball behind his head without giving him any look!

No one knows how Yiyang, with his back to Aminu, can pass the ball so accurately. Maybe as Mike Breen said, Yiyang also has eyes on the back of his head.

It wasn't until Yiyang made this incredible passing move that people discovered that Aminu had been completely left empty-handed.

The Rockets players simply gave up on defense and all crowded under the basket, waiting to grab rebounds.

Although Aminu got a wide-open opportunity, the pressure on the point guard to shoot under the spotlight is actually very high.

If someone is defending, he won't think so much. But if there is no one to defend, the players will be afraid of being embarrassed if they fail to make a shot, which will put them under more psychological pressure.

Aminu takes shots calmly and is always the one who is ignored on the offensive end, but Aminu doesn't care. He knows that he will never become a superstar in this life. But can only superstars save the team?

As a role player, you can also contribute to the team!

The arc of the basketball is very high and it seems to be flying in the right direction. All the Rockets players were eager to get under the basket, trying to prove their firepower by grabbing rebounds.

However, Aminu did not give them this face. The basketball passed through the net and hit a three-pointer!

"Good goal, Yi also sent out a magical assist. And his teammates did not let that let him down. Although coach Carlisle had to replace him early, as long as Yi is there, the substitute can also perform crazy!"

Aminu's three-pointer undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Mavericks' bench players!

On the subsequent offense, Harden called Jones for a pick-and-roll. But the quality of Jones' cover is naturally not as good as the strong Dorsey.

Tony Allen easily stuck to Harden's side, allowing the bearded layup to miss the frame.

After the Mavericks counterattacked, Yiyang directly released the ball this time. He handed the ball to Bazemore, and then quickly pulled away, letting Bazemore go one-on-one with Harden!

Bazemore and Harden seem to be two players of different levels. But this does not mean that Bazemore will definitely not win.

After receiving the pass from Yiyang, he made a simple prayer to Buddha, and sent Harden, who was always distracted on the defensive end, but this time too focused, into the air.

Bazemore took the opportunity to take a big step to the free throw line and take a "free throw" shot. Bazemore himself is a mid-range terminator, and he will definitely not miss an opportunity like a free throw.

"Brush!" The net rolled, and Terrence Jones could only pick up the basketball from the ground in embarrassment.

The Mavericks scored five points in a row. Under Yiyang's organization, everyone can shoot and hit at their favorite place!

The most frightening thing is that after falling behind by five points, McHale didn't become vigilant. Jean believes that the Mavericks are simply lucky!

McHale didn't become nervous until Dalembert rewarded Terrence Jones with a big risk, Yiyang and Tony Allen made a double fast break and completed an alley-oop for seven points.

The Mavericks' bench doesn't seem to be any weaker than the starting lineup! Unknowingly, the point difference was in danger of widening to double digits!

Carlisle stood on the sidelines with his hands folded. Unlike McHale who was panicking, Carlisle had a relieved smile.

With more blossoming performances, Yiyang has led the team to perform well. From substitute to starter, everyone has the potential to become Yiyang's offensive weapon.

What about McHale? At most, he can replace him with Josh Smith, and there will be almost no one available.

and I? I still have a lot of players on my hands, waiting to trample you under my feet, bastard!

"Pay attention to defense and stay close!" After assisting Tony Allen to complete an alley-oop dunk, Yiyang retreated to the three-point line, raised his hands and shouted.

This is his team, a team that Yiyang can control at will, whether on the starting line or as a substitute. ()
