One Guard

Chapter 812: On the edge of the cliff

Russell Westbrook stole the ball from Deron Williams, and his gambling steal made Thunder fans tremble. If you catch this kind of ball, you will be a one-stopper. If you cannot catch it, you will be out of position.

But Deron was obviously not prepared, and Westbrook's movements were too fast for him. Westbrook successfully stole the ball, went straight to the penalty area, and used a commendable tomahawk dunk to end the offense and almost end the game.

"Russell Westbrook! Beautiful fast break! God, the game is over in 3 minutes, and after this ball, the Mavericks are already 15 points behind. We see that Dirk has already taken off his training He is preparing at the technical stage. But is his physical fitness really okay?"

Mike Breen clenched his fists. The defending champion, the legendary Mavericks, couldn't be kicked out like this!

Wade received a pass from Deron outside the three-point line, and Gobert immediately stepped forward to cover. But Wade was just about to speed up when he was delayed by Adams. After that, Robertson immediately came back to defend, and Wade's offensive line was instantly blocked.

There was no other way, Wade had no choice but to give the ball back to Deron. Deron used a sudden stop and start rhythm to shake Westbrook away. Although Westbrook is strong and strong, in fact, his defensive habits are not very good.

Deron successfully broke through, but his speed can no longer be compared with that of the past. Seeing Adams rushing back to the penalty area, Deron gritted his teeth and continued to accelerate.

I promised Old Man Sloan that I would win the O'Brien Cup! How could he collapse in the conference semifinals! ?

Deron accelerated for a layup, but Adams failed to catch up. But Congo forward Ibaka suddenly came out and slapped Deron away with the ball!

"Serge Ibaka, although after experiencing a serious injury, he no longer has such terrifying athletic ability. But if anyone dares to break into the penalty area, Ibaka will still make him look good!"

Although Deron was knocked down, the referee did not blow the whistle. Williams has nothing to complain about. This is the standard of the playoffs.

The Thunder went on a fast break, and Durant took Westbrook's pass and hit it from beyond the three-point line. In the last 2 minutes and 18 seconds, the Mavericks trailed by 18 points!

"Timeout, timeout!" Carlisle shouted anxiously. He had not been as anxious as he was today for a long time. Chasing 18 points in 2 minutes and 18 seconds was really, really hard for the Mavericks.

"Damn it! Damn it Serge!" Deron cursed while wiping his sweat after coming off the field.

"Barea! You will come on the court later, run actively, and take decisive action when you get the opportunity! Dirk, you are the same, you mainly play outside the three-point line, I want you to wander around the outside more! Vince, you replace Andre , the requirements are the same, seek more opportunities outside the three-point line!" Carlisle replaced all players with three-point shooting ability. At this time, it is too late to defend. His only way is to gamble with offense.

If the bet wins, the Mavericks will still have a chance in this series. If the bet loses... No, he can't lose, he can't let the Mavericks' three consecutive championships stop here!

At this time, it stands to reason that the offensive tasks will fall on Yiyang. But at this time, no one could see Yiyang in the Chesapeake Energy Arena, whether on or off the court.

"It's really thrilling. The Mavericks are 18 points behind. If they lose this game again, the total score of the series will become 3 to 1! 3 to 1, this is not a score worth celebrating for the Mavericks. This Maybe this is the most thrilling series the Mavericks have had in the playoffs in three years!" Mike Breen couldn't believe his eyes. In the past two years, the Mavericks usually won easily before the Western Conference finals. Last season, they played two consecutive rounds of 4-0. It wasn't until they faced the Warriors in the Western Conference finals that they finally lost a game.

But now, just in the Western Conference semifinals, the Mavericks are already on the verge of being eliminated.

"He has not returned to this day,

So far in this series, he has missed four games! The only thing we know now is that Yi's child has been successfully delivered, and mother and daughter are safe. I hope I can come back in time for the next game! "Kevin Harlan shook his head. Because of Vignali's incident, Yiyang "disappeared" after playing the Rockets.

Since the first game of the Western Conference Semifinals, people have not seen Yiyang again. In the history of the NBA playoffs, it has often happened that stars missed games due to personal matters and eventually led to the team being eliminated. Wasn't Carter once criticized because he went back to attend North Carolina's graduation ceremony during the playoffs? Although in the second game of the series, three veterans, Deron, Wade and Dirk, broke out together and scored 63 points to win a victory for the Mavericks. But the situation is still firmly controlled by Durant and Westbrook. Until now, they are only 2 minutes and 18 seconds away from turning the total score into 3-1!

But people can understand that he missed the game because his wife gave birth to a child. After all, both adults and children need care now. As a husband and father, Yiyang has the obligation and responsibility to stay with his wife and children. But if the Thunder turn the total score to 3-1, will the Mavericks definitely be able to come back even if Yiyang comes back?

The Rockets' miracle of reversing the Clippers last season was a small probability event after the right time, place and people were all satisfied. Facing the aggressive Thunder, no one thought the Mavericks could come back from a 3-1 deficit, even if they had Yiyang.

"As long as Yiyang can come back, everything is possible." Mike Breen answered decisively. The biggest problem for the Mavericks is that there is no Yiyang!

The timeout ended quickly, and Mike Breen and Kevin Harlan stopped chatting. The Mavericks have put on a very aggressive lineup, and they are going to go all out!

Carter scored a three-pointer as soon as he came up, demonstrating the immortal momentum of the veteran. But soon, Durant returned one on Carter's head. Old Carter was not known for his defense. Against a super scorer like Durant, Carter had no idea.

In the next round, Deron's wonderful assist allowed Jose Barea to hit his second consecutive three-pointer! The fans in the Chesapeake Energy Arena were worried. The Mavericks really had some momentum to make a comeback!

But soon, Westbrook used his incredible impact to enter the penalty area, succeeded in a layup, and also caused Gobert to foul. Standing on the free throw line, Westbrook hit the extra free throw and the Thunder once again opened up the score without letting the Mavericks gain momentum!

The Thunder and Mavericks are also considered mortal enemies in the playoffs. Both teams have eliminated each other. The last time the two teams met in the playoffs was in the 13-14 season. At that time, the ambitious Thunder fell to the Mavericks.

Now, after finally getting a chance to defeat the Mavericks, Westbrook and Durant will definitely not miss it! They have been eager for a championship for many years. Over the years, the team has experienced Harden's departure, injuries to Durant, Ibaka and Westbrook, and coaching changes. This year, the team is finally back on track again.

Nirvana and rebirth are the perfect words to describe the Thunder this season. It’s time to fulfill the championship dream I’ve had for several years! In the first round, the Thunder defeated the Clippers cleanly with a total score of 4 to 1. Now, if they can get past the Mavericks, they will be one step closer to the championship!

Therefore, although the Mavericks do not have Yiyang, the Thunder's second youngster still plays at his best.

If the Mavericks score, the Thunder can quickly add points. If Carlisle wants to make a comeback, the team must have an offensive climax. However, in addition to scoring points, the offensive climax must also ensure that the opponent cannot score. As of now, the Mavericks simply cannot hit an offensive climax.

Ultimately, Carlisle's gamble failed. The Dallas Mavericks still lost the game by 15 points. Facing two MVP-level players in Westbrook and Durant, the Mavericks' veterans were helpless. They tried their best, but the gap in strength meant they could only watch the Thunder take away the victory.

The Thunder players all rushed onto the court and hugged each other excitedly. 3 to 1, what does this mean? This means that the Thunder will become the first team in three years to defeat the Mavericks in the playoffs!

They will bury the legend with their own hands!

Carlisle shook his head. He gave everything he had in this game. But the fighting ability of Mavericks without Yiyang and Mavericks with Yiyang is completely different. That's the thing about superstars, they're hard to replace.

3 to 1, now, all hope is on you, too!

Meanwhile, in a Dallas hospital, Yiyang was looking through the incubator at a little baby inside. This "facial paralysis" man's face is full of smiles, that kind of happy smile that cannot be concealed.

"This little guy is very lively and seems to be a natural athlete!" Dr. Lane looked at the little guy in the incubator proudly. Although various situations occurred during the delivery process, he solved them all. This is the ending where mother and daughter are safe.

"Look at him, Ryan, how powerful his calves are! God, he will definitely be a dunker in the future!" Yiyang used to hate children very much. The smell of milk on their bodies made Yiyang unbearable. , and coaxing children is also very troublesome in Yiyang's opinion.

But now, when he faced his child, he was overjoyed.

"Are you going to let this kid play basketball in the future?"

"I won't force him, but if he wants, I will support him!"

"Ha, this guy is still so young now. It's hard to imagine that he will become like you in the future. Is Vignali recovering well these days?"

"Well, I'm recovering well, I'm not that weak anymore." Yiyang stood up and rubbed his eyes which were full of dark circles. Taking care of Vignali day and night these days, Yiyang could not sleep well at any night.

"It's been so many days, and the mother and son are actually fine. The next game series returns to Dallas...will you return? Now we are 1 to 3 behind, too." Ryan His tone was very worried, because he was not only an obstetrician and gynecologist, but also a Mavericks fan!

He was very happy when Yiyang's son was born, but he didn't want his joy to be diluted because the Mavericks were eliminated.

Hearing what Ryan said, the smile on Yiyang's face faded slightly. 1 to 3, is it already so serious?

But now that Vignali and her son are both safe, Yiyang can finally relax and focus on the game.

"I will return in the next game. Please pay more attention to the situation of Vignali and the little guy."

"Don't worry, you can kick Thunder's ass without any worries! I will guarantee the health of your wife and children with my life!" Ryan patted his chest.

Yiyang smiled, are you ready? The King of Dallas is back! (https:)
