One Guard

No one knows why Majori is so excited, not even Yiyang. He just glanced back and saw that Majory's follow-up in the middle was very timely, so he passed a cricket ball. But Yiyang didn't understand a single word of the Arabic that Majri just yelled.

Sometimes, on the basketball court, tacit understanding and awareness are better than all the words in the world.

Rivers' face was full of black lines. He originally hoped to use the tactics of inside players to attack the basket. Unexpectedly, in the end, Carlisle hit two goals like this.

Although Nance Jr. and Majory are indeed not as good as Dirk and Gobert in terms of overall strength, their tactics to restrain Rivers are just right.

Carlisle had already figured out what Rivers was thinking, so he put two more energetic insiders on the court in advance. Carlisle's substitutions turned out to be very wise. Rivers is a "chicken soup" coach, not a master tactician. It is actually not difficult to predict his arrangement.

Instead of narrowing the gap, Rivers allowed the Mavericks to push the gap to double digits.

But in contrast, Majori and Nance Jr.'s ability to protect the frame is not as good as Dirk and Gobert. This time, Paul did not pass the ball after taking advantage of the pick-and-roll. Instead, he went inside and attacked the basket, finally opening the door for the Clippers.

But soon, Yiyang responded with a hollow hit from outside the three-point line, officially opening the point difference to 10 points!

This indicates that the Mavericks have begun to control the rhythm of the game. They can go fast or slow, and they don't have to deal with the Clippers anymore.

Griffin wanted to prove himself, so he moved more and more on the court. Nance Jr. has a good temper and doesn't argue with Griffin. But when Majori was misplaced to defend Griffin, the duel between the two big guys made everyone tremble.

Both of them played very rough, Griffin was unwilling to be upstaged by two rookies, while Majori couldn't stand Griffin's arrogance before the game. The confrontation was so fierce that the two almost fell into each other's arms.

But Griffin has always been a veteran in the league, and he can still deal with Majori with ease. On both the offensive and defensive ends, Majori received countless elbows and listened to trash talk.

However, Griffin's singles did not help the Clippers narrow the gap. Yiyang steadily controlled the situation and maintained the 10-point difference until the end of the half.

After halftime, ESPN gave the halftime data of Yiyang and Griffin. Yiyang has scored 15 points and 6 assists in two quarters. He is the biggest reason why the Mavericks can now gain a 10-point advantage.

And what about Griffin, who is clamoring to defeat the Mavericks? 6 points, 3 rebounds and 3 turnovers. As an insider, his shooting percentage was only 33.3%. In front of Dirk and Gobert, Griffin only scored four points on mid-range shots. But in fact, these two guys didn't guard Griffin for too long today. Majori was Griffin's biggest enemy today. The Tunisian worked extremely hard on the defensive end, and several of his active defenses made Griffin's offense useless.

"In the second half of the game, if Blake cannot improve efficiency, it will be very difficult for the Clippers' offense to launch. He can no longer be obsessed with shooting from mid-to-long distances. Blake must enter the three-second zone in order to cause damage."

"Create damage? In the first half of the game, I only saw that first-year rookie Mejri guarding Griffin at a loss! His finishing ability at the basket is not as good as you think. Let me tell you, hurry up The team's only chance is Chris Paul." Barkley doesn't have any expectations for Griffin now. The No. 1 pick was indeed very good when he first entered the league, but over the years, his progress has not actually met expectations. .

Griffin is indeed an All-Star, but that's all.

After the start of the third quarter, Paul's performance was not bad, but there was not much that stood out. So just halfway through the quarter, Doc Rivers replaced Paul. Taking Paul's place on the field was naturally Coach Rivers' son, Austin Rivers!

Rivers and Sons,

For the first time in NBA history, a father and son play for the same team as coach and player.

This special combination will naturally attract a lot of criticism. After all, Rivers Jr.'s performance with the Pelicans was not satisfactory. Rivers recruited his son, not as a reinforcement, but more as a hope to "protect" his son.

Although Rivers has publicly stated that he will not show any favoritism to his son, this is just talk. After all, blood is thicker than water. The fact is that since Rivers joined the Clippers, he no longer has to worry about his playing time. In the past with the Pelicans, Rivers could play 20-25 minutes per game. After all, the Pelicans had high hopes for him.

But in the Clippers, when the team has players like Chris Paul, Rivers' playing time has not been shortened at all!

Although Paul's condition today was very average, Barkley was still puzzled by replacing Rivers so early.

"Did Doc Rivers think the Los Angeles Clippers were leading by ten points!?"

Rivers Jr. is actually not useless. His performance after coming to the Clippers is still remarkable. But compared with Paul, he is still not a player of the same level.

Yiyang was like a deserted person in front of little Rivers. Whether it's a three-pointer, a breakthrough or a pull-up jump shot, Yiyang can do whatever he wants! Little Rivers' movements seemed to Yiyang like slow motion, always half a beat too slow.

And what about Griffin? Without Paul, it will be difficult for Griffin to shoulder the heavy responsibility. Under the "care" of the four insiders of Gobert, Dirk, Nance Jr. and Majori, Griffin barely scored in double figures before the end of the third quarter!

At the end of the third quarter, after Yiyang came off the field, Deron still pinched Rivers to death. It was only at this time that Doc Rivers replaced Paul again, and loudly reprimanded Rivers in front of all reporters: Get back to your bench!

However, what is the use of scolding his son now? Austin Rivers has not had an advantage since the last game. If Doc Rivers really wanted to do something, he should have brought Paul back long ago. This scolding does not sound like "treating everyone equally", but more like a show for others to see.

At his peak, Deron's daily life was "eating, sleeping and beating Paul." But now, the gap between Deron and Paul is indeed huge. Relying on Paul's performance, the Mavericks barely narrowed the point difference to 12 points.

After three quarters, the Clippers couldn't even narrow the point difference to single digits, let alone go ahead. After losing to the Warriors in the first game, people said that the Mavericks did not have any strong points except Yiyang. But so far in today's game, five Mavericks players have scored in double figures. In addition to Yiyang, Dirk, Wade, Deron Williams and Jose Barea also opened up completely on the offensive end.

On the contrary, it's the Clippers. Except for Paul and Griffin, everyone else seems to have disappeared. Pierce and Josh took 12 shots combined, but only hit two goals. Therefore, a basketball game is never a simple game of comparing "paper lineups".

After the start of the fourth quarter, although Paul struggled to catch up, with the Mavericks firmly in control of the situation, they were unable to recover.

Griffin was still unwilling to give up. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Paul attacked with the ball and Griffin covered. During the cover process, Griffin deliberately raised his elbow. Perhaps he was a little angry. Griffin did not control the size of the movement well, and this time he directly elbowed Yiyang to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Majori couldn't bear it anymore. He gave Griffin a shove. This guy didn't care about attacking him. Now he's looking for his idol. The Tunisian wants an explanation no matter what.

Griffin has also held a grudge against Majori for a long time. Why should a rookie who just came from Europe show off in front of him?

So he pushed back without hesitation, paving the way for a whole game, and the two big guys finally struggled together. Conflict broke out at the beginning of the new season, and the expression on Adam Silver's face must be very interesting at this time.

In the chaos, Griffin and Majory each punched each other. After Yiyang got up, he also wanted to join the fight, but was hugged tightly by Dirk. He was not worried about Yiyang, but worried that Griffin would not be able to get out of Dallas under the attacks of Yiyang and Majori.

After the conflict ended, the referees each hit fifty boards and ejected both Griffin and Majori from the court. It is worth mentioning that Carlisle did not reprimand Majory, but patted him on the shoulder. This is a very rare scene for Carlisle, who has always discouraged players from acting impulsively.

Even Carlisle couldn't bear to watch Griffin's yin and yang just now. This guy really loses both games and people.

Without Griffin, the Clippers actually lost the capital to counterattack. In the last three minutes, Doc Rivers replaced all the main players and gave up the game. The Los Angeles people's illusion of defeating the Mavericks was shattered again, and the Dallas Mavericks also avoided a losing streak in time after losing the opening game.

88 to 104, the Los Angeles Clippers were defeated at the American Airlines Center Arena. Losing is not terrible, but what is terrible is that after losing, almost everyone hated Griffin for deliberately raising his elbow.

Small moves are actually understandable by fans. No one is absolutely clean on the basketball court. But hurting someone maliciously is a completely different level of things.

"There is no doubt that it was an intentional injury. We will immediately conduct a concussion test on him. I suggest that the league should carefully investigate Blake Griffin's actions and make a fair ruling!" accepted reporters after the game. During the interview, Carlisle did not shy away from expressing his dissatisfaction. In fact, nothing happened to Yiyang and he was unscathed. What he said about doing a concussion test was just to exaggerate the matter and make Griffin suffer more punishment.

I thought this game would end like this, but when the Mavericks players were changing clothes in the locker room and getting ready to "get off work," there was a knock on the door of their locker room.

Nance Jr., who had the least seniority, answered the door. Although he was a second-generation star, he was the rookie who did all these chores in the Mavericks locker room. Although Majori is also in his first year playing in the NBA, he at least has several years of professional basketball experience. So strictly speaking, Nance Jr. is the most "bad" rookie.

Nance had just joked with Carter and opened the locker room door with a smile. But after seeing the people outside the gate, Nance's smile disappeared instantly.

"Go away, rookie! This is none of your business, call Majory out!" The person standing outside the door was not a reporter or a staff member, but Blake Griffin!

Behind this guy were DeAndre Jordan, Austin Rivers and Stephenson. Unconvinced, Griffin came directly to block the door of the Mavericks locker room!

Griffin shouted from outside the door, and the Mavericks locker room fell silent instantly. Everyone suddenly jumped up, and Griffin took a step back in fright.

"Larry, come back and continue changing clothes. Everyone, please sit down. Mejri, you sit down too, I won't say it a second time!" At this time, Yiyang pushed aside the crowd and walked towards the door, while Mejri tightened his grip. fist. He has already planned that if Griffin makes any move, he will rush forward immediately!

Everyone sat down obediently and listened to Yiyang's instructions. Then Yiyang walked towards the fierce-looking Clippers players at the door of the locker room alone.

"Also, don't try to be a hero. I won't apologize for that action. If you don't want to cause trouble, let the Tunisian come out to see me alone!" Griffin said, stepping into the Mavericks locker room.

"No, no," Yiyang stepped in front of Griffin and shook his finger. "This is not the place for you, Blake. If something happens to you, let Chris come talk to me!"

"You..." Griffin's face turned purple with anger. In Yiyang's eyes, he was Paul's pony?

"If you have nothing to talk about and just want to fight, you know where to find us, so stop bluffing here and go back. I'll pretend nothing happened!" After saying that, Yiyang put his finger on The joints crackled.

Tough, cold and confident! Yiyang's aura subdued Griffin and everyone behind him. Griffin, the big guy who had to lower his head to look at Yiyang, was stunned and didn't dare to take another step forward! He knew that Yiyang was not joking with him!

At this time, stadium security arrived in time and separated the two parties. Griffin and the Clippers generals also found a way out and went back in despair.

Seeing Griffin and the others leaving, Yiyang shrugged disdainfully.

Griffin's little moves were very amateurish, and the blocking of this door was even more amateurish among amateurs.

A complete defeat on and off the court, I believe Griffin will find out after today. He and Yiyang have long been no longer on the same level.
