One Guard

The Spurs' advantage in the paint is visible to the naked eye. It's not that Mejri doesn't work hard enough, but that Gasol and Aldridge are on the court at the same time, which makes the Tunisians always lose sight of one thing. Popovich will never change his lineup randomly. Every adjustment he makes to the game has a strong purpose.

"I don't know what adjustments Coach Carlisle can make, because the Mavericks only have one center on the team, Majori. Unless he can replace Gobert, the Mavericks' low post will have no chance at all."

"What if we switch to Dirk again? Dirk has height and is also a pure insider. Moreover, he is also experienced." Kevin Harlan put forward a hypothesis, and the on-site photographer also gave Nowitzki a close-up very appropriately. .

As the absolute core of the Mavericks, Nowitzki is completely Buddhist this season. During the regular season this season, Nowitzki only played a total of 60 games. In addition to injuries, many times it was because he was not needed at all. Watching this situation off the court for 48 minutes, Nowitzki has not experienced it once or twice.

Although it is cruel and hurtful to say this, it is the truth. Nowitzki is undoubtedly the Mavericks' anchor and locker room leader. But with his current ability, his help to the Mavericks to win the championship is indeed limited.

At this time, Nowitzki was standing at the outermost edge of the crowd in training clothes, and he didn't look like he was ready to play. And even if the German does play, can Dirk, who turns 40 in two months, really be able to guard Aldridge, who is 8 years younger than him?

Full of questions, the timeout ended. After all the Mavericks players took the field, Mike Breen and Kevin Harlan's eyes widened.

Mejri, Gay, Hayward, Mitchell and Yiyang, the Mavericks' lineup has not changed at all, and Carlisle has not adjusted the staffing on the field at all!

"Did Coach Carlisle forget to make substitutions? They just used this lineup, but they were beaten 10 to 4!"

"Coach Popovich must be very surprised, because he definitely didn't expect Carlisle to give him a big gift!"

Commentators at every level in every country were shocked by Carlisle's decision. People think that maybe Carlisle will use Kuzma to play center, maybe Dirk or Nance Jr. to try his luck. But no one expected that Carlisle would actually stand still!

Play resumed with Majori firing a side kick. Carlisle stood nervously on the sidelines, able to make changes even if he stood still. However, whether the change can be successful depends on Yiyang's control.

Yiyang passed the half very quickly this time. Facing Mills and Kyle Anderson, who was ready to defend at any time, Yiyang did not rush into the trap stupidly, but passed the ball to Mi who came forward. Chel.

As soon as Yiyang passed the ball, Rudy Gay's screen came up. Instead of covering for Mitchell, he was covering for Yiyang without the ball!

Yiyang reached the right corner, and Mitchell quickly returned the ball. At this time, Mills had been completely blocked. Yiyang raised the ball to shoot, but Anderson quickly blocked it!

However, this was just a fake move. After dangling Anderson, Yiyang did not hit the basket as usual, but moved sideways and fired directly from outside the three-point line!

"The three-point shot after clicking on Kyle Anderson, BOOM! The three-pointer was hit, and the Mavericks' offense started to pick up!"

"Damn, that bastard!" With just one attack, Yiyang made Popovich, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, finally stand up.

Those guys from the Mavericks want to run and fight! Majori can't run? It doesn't matter, with Yiyang here, Carlisle is confident that he can end the attack with just four people!

With the next ball, Aldridge continued to make trouble in the low post. This time, Majori went to defend him personally, while Gay switched to guard Gasol.

Aldridge naturally passed the ball to Gasol, which was an obvious mismatch. However, Gasol's offense was not smooth. As soon as he took a step back, Guy's arm suddenly came around and cut off the basketball in the Spaniard's hand!

The 38-year-old Gasol is no better than Aldridge.

Even if there is a big mismatch, Gasol may not be able to play now!

Gay cuts away at the basketball, but doesn't quite get it under control. The former "successor of Tracy McGrady" made a direct dive, allowing the Mavericks to firmly take possession of the ball.

Before Gasol could fall down and fight with him, Gay passed the ball on the floor. Yiyang catches the basketball, catches it and runs!

Mills wanted to use his body to force Yiyang to stop, but he found that he had no chance! Yiyang was like a bolt of lightning, flashing past Mills' eyes in an instant, not even leaving Mills a chance to fight!

After passing Mills, Kyle Anderson and Danny Green naturally had to retreat to the basket. As for Aldridge and Gasol? The two tall men were still running hard behind.

Yiyang took off for a layup, but when Green and Anderson blocked him, he regained the basketball and passed it to the three-point line.

Hayward caught the ball and shot, giving the Spurs no time to react.

The nets tumbled into the air, and the American Airlines Center Arena was filled with joy. 10 to 10, in just two rounds, the Mavericks evened the score!

"This... is too fast!" Mike Brin was stunned for a long time and finally said this. Before anyone knew what happened, the score was tied. Two rounds ago, the Spurs had the advantage.

Carlisle wanted to use fast-paced offense and three-pointers to attack the Spurs' defense. The result of the positional battle with the Spurs was 10 to 4. But if Yiyang leads the whole team to run and fight, the situation will be completely different.

If the Spurs want to keep up the pace, they have to take off a long man. And after the pace is accelerated, whether the Spurs can still play inside safely is another matter.

In the subsequent attack, Aldridge once again used a jump shot to help the Spurs take the lead again. But Carlisle doesn't care about defense at all now. This may be the craziest decision in his coaching career. Using offense instead of defense, as long as the score is high, Aldridge will be dragged to death sooner or later!

This is how the Mavericks won 75 games during the regular season. But doing this in the playoffs is definitely risky. If you look at the final results of the Suns, who swept the entire league with their fast-playing whirlwind, you will know whether it is reliable to use offense instead of defense in the playoffs.

But Carlisle had no choice, not to mention, he always believed that Yiyang could do better than Nash!

As soon as Aldridge scored, Majori immediately sent a baseline kick. And when he passed the ball out, Yiyang was almost halfway through.

As soon as Yiyang received Major's powerful pass, Kyle Anderson reached out to press him. But Yiyang very flexibly changed hands behind his back and easily resolved the crisis!

The Mavericks started running again, and the Spurs had no chance to spread their defense. This time, Yiyang broke through the middle and raised the basketball as if to pass it to Hayward who was ambushing in the right corner.

However, Yiyang's pass was fake, and his layup was real. On a fake fax, Yiyang deceived his opponent's judgment, easily scored, and tied again!

On the next Spurs offense, Aldridge missed a jump shot when facing Majory. As Carlisle said, no matter how strong that guy is, he is only Aldridge. Of course there is nothing to say about Aldridge's strength, but he is not Yiyang, Curry or Durant. His limit is easy for Carlisle to predict!

If you let a player like Yiyang attack, you may not know how many points he can score. But let Aldridge play, and Aldridge's score will not be too high. To put it bluntly, Aldridge is still half a block away from becoming a superstar.

Gay grabbed the rebound and then immediately advanced with the ball himself. The Mavericks maintained a fast-paced offense and defense, and the Spurs players were simply running back and forth. Aldridge became impatient due to the rhythm. Popovich called up Parker, who had lost his starting position this season, and asked him to prepare to play. Without Parker, a veteran to control the situation, the Spurs can no longer stop the car!

Gay personally controlled the ball outside the three-point line, and then passed the ball to Mitchell who cut inside the basket. Mitchell cut in very quickly, but people didn't realize that the rest of the Mavericks were running faster!

The entire Mavericks team was running, running throughout half the court, running without sparing any effort, using their running speed and passing speed to tear apart the Spurs' defense.

As soon as Mitchell entered the penalty area, the basketball quickly jumped out of the crowd. The one who caught the ball in the corner on the right was none other than Yiyang!

At this time, Aldridge also caught up. He had no choice but to open his arms in front of Yiyang. However, Yiyang didn't even look at Aldridge. He took a step back to create space and then shot directly!

That step back meant that Yiyang was one step away from the three-point line.

"This madman!" Aldridge shouted and immediately rushed forward to interfere. This Chinese man doesn't even hesitate to take a shot from one step beyond the three-point line. Even Lillard, who worked with Aldridge back then, was not so bold!

The basketball flew back past Aldridge's palm. This ultra-long three-point shot seemed a bit bizarre. But if the person who throws the ball is Yiyang, it will be different. Because Yiyang never acted on impulse, he chose to take action because he was sure of hitting.

"Brush!" White waves filled the net.

"Boom!" Waves filled the stands.

"Go in, a long-distance three-pointer with a step back, Yi's goal is so crisp. 12 points, after this goal, Yi has already scored 12 points in a single quarter! The Mavericks scored a total of 15 points, which is Scored 12 points. And Hayward's three-pointer came from an assist from Yi! There was a timeout, and this time Popovich was stopped. The Mavericks played an overwhelming game during the regular season, relying on offense instead of defense. The Spurs couldn't even find a chance! It's really dangerous to rely on offense instead of defense in the playoffs, but if you have such a super defender, everything will be different!"

"Kevin, do you know what nickname Yiyang has among Chinese fans?" Mike Breen smiled, this is Yiyang's game!

"What nickname?"

"Yihao? It's the same as No. 1 in Chinese."

"Hao? What does this word mean?"

"It means that once this guy gets crazy, he can defeat God!" Mike Brin was amused by himself. (https:)
