One Guard

Gobert's performance after coming on was not satisfactory, and the intensity of the Western Conference finals was unmatched by the regular season. However, Gobert now doesn't even have time to transition into the regular season.

But this guy still didn't give up. Rudy Gobert's biggest trait is that he likes to win and make people shut up. Gobert's cover was still active. This time, he regained some tacit understanding with Yiyang. The screening wasn't perfect, but it was a lot better than before.

Klay Thompson was slightly delayed, but still not completely thrown away. But this time, Yiyang didn't shoot directly. He made a fake shot, deceiving Thompson's center of gravity and then went straight into the penalty area.

Draymond Green immediately dropped Gobert and went to the basket. Gobert had almost no containment effect. Even though he had dreamed of being a marksman since he was a child, Gobert did not have the talent to become a shooter. Green had the most fun beating the Mavericks. Whether it's Mitchell or Yiyang, he's very happy to serve you a hot and hot dick!

Green retreated very quickly, leaving Yiyang no room to make any moves. But this Dallas No. 1 remained calm in the face of danger and calmly threw the ball!

"Throwing! But it seems a little crooked!"

Before the commentator could finish his words. Rudy Gobert stood up from behind Draymond Green and stretched out his arms. Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Tower of Suffocation slammed the ball into the frame!

"Alley-oop! Rudy Gobert scored the first goal of the game for the Dallas Mavericks! Green missed one thing and missed the other. He covered Yiyang, but missed Gobert. Look at him, this guy seems like he has never It feels like he has left the team. His aerial cooperation with Yiyang is still so perfect!"

After scoring the goal, Gobert roared, and all the power in this guy burst out.

"Welcome back, man." Yiyang high-fived Gobert, this guy is a dynamite. Normally, it seems like there is no threat. But if someone helps him light the fuse, expect to be injured!

There is no doubt that Yiyang is the person who ignited Gobert's "lead". An alley-oop was enough to make Gobert's emotions soar.

In the subsequent attack, Green provided a screen for Curry. Curry planned to bypass the screen and immediately shot from the three-point line. It's a tactic the Warriors use, and for others, it just doesn't work. But for Curry, who can hit shots as long as there is a little space, this tactic is quite deadly.

This is why many teams imitate the Warriors but fail to succeed at all. The success of the Warriors is not just about a good system, but you also have to have players who can match the system.

Using the same tactics, Curry can hit shots, but someone else can't.

But Yiyang's defense was extremely active.

Seeing that he had no way to bypass the screen immediately, Yiyang still stretched out a hand to interfere with Curry's sight even though he was blocked by Green.

Curry was so delayed that he didn't take action immediately, but took an extra step. With just this step, Yiyang forced him forward, and Curry's space disappeared instantly!

From the fans' perspective, this was just another routine defense. But only the players on the field know how exquisite Yiyang's defense is!

There is a reason why Yiyang became the only guard after Payton to win the Defensive Player of the Year award.

Seeing that there was no chance to shoot, Curry did not dare to delay the opportunity. He immediately hit the ball and passed it to Green, who cut to the basket after covering the screen.

After Green received the basketball, he raised his elbow and hit Gobert hard in the ribs! Since Green takes three steps with the ball, this elbow strike is difficult to catch.

Gobert frowned. Green is really good at everything. What it feels like to be elbowed in the ribs is really indescribable without feeling it once. But Gobert did not back down, but took another step forward!

Green jumped up for a layup, but as soon as he raised the ball, he was hit by a big shot from Gobert!

The basketball flew straight across the bench and hit Armstrong in the face. Being hit in the face by a fast-moving basketball is not much more comfortable than receiving an elbow. But Armstrong was smiling with tears in his eyes.

"Did you see Rick? Our guardian angel of the restricted area is back, hahahahaha!"

"Damn it, Benjamin, he's got a nosebleed, hurry up!"

The sight of the Mavericks coaching staff scrambling made people smile, but Green certainly couldn't. Because after blocking the shot, Gobert still didn't let him go, but stared at him with fierce eyes.

"You can't scare me, man. Stop staring at me like that. I know you're just bluffing." Green started talking while pushing Gobert away to get the sideline ball.

But Gobert's eyes were still sharp and he ignored Green's trash talk.

The Warriors took the ball from the sideline and attacked again, and Durant's mid-range jumper hit the net steadily. I have to admit that the Warriors' lineup is really ridiculously strong. Curry was guarded? It doesn't matter. Green was cheated? does not matter. Cole has many people who can stand up and score!

It seems that the Warriors still have an advantage over the Mavericks, but the Mavericks are not afraid at all. It is impossible for a team like the Warriors to completely restrict them from scoring for several minutes. But as long as you stay on the right track, there will be no problem!

In the next round, Yiyang and Gobert repeated their old tricks and used pick-and-rolls to gain opportunities.

In the third offense, Gobert's pick-and-roll was finally perfect! The positioning, timing and blocking were all just right, and he completely stopped Klay Thompson!

Seizing the opportunity, Hayward quickly released the ball. Yiyang caught the ball and shot, and this time Thompson had no time to pounce on him to defend! As for Yiyang's open three-pointers, accidents rarely happen.

As expected, Yiyang's long-range three-point shot passed through the net. Three-pointers are no longer exclusive to the Warriors and Curry. The cooperation between Yiyang and Gobert is once again successful. This combination of one big and one small allows the Mavericks to play positional battles with certainty.

"The beautiful three-pointer is still as calm as ever. We can see that without Rudy Gobert, the Mavericks are completely different. Before the Western Conference Finals, how could the Mavericks win a positional battle? The Spurs were outrun by the Mavericks. Yes, Yiyang doesn't give you a chance to land at all. The Trail Blazers were completely confused by the Mavericks and could only passively follow them. But today, the Mavericks can be fast or slow. They also played very efficiently in positional offense. !”

"Yes, people say that big centers are destined to be eliminated by the times. But the rise of a new generation of centers undoubtedly breaks this nonsense! Look at the changes Rudy has brought to the Mavericks, which is unlike any other. Players can’t do it!”

Gobert has begun to adapt to the game, and it is still a level game like the Western Conference Finals. France coach Vincent Collet smiled proudly and said: Look, this is just the beginning!

Yiyang's three-pointer narrowed the point difference to only three points. Yiyang's defense against Curry is still very tight. It is now difficult for Curry to catch the ball, let alone take a shot.

Iguodala was in a bit of a dilemma outside the three-point line, not knowing who to pass the ball to, because it was obvious that the Mavericks' defensive intensity had increased and the defense was very tight, making it unsafe to pass to anyone.

In the end, Iguodala had to exchange hands with Durant. Durant's breakthrough made Hayward very distressed. After all, the height difference between the two is too big. Once Durant takes a step, it will be difficult for Hayward to stop him.

The same is true this time. Hayward is close to Durant, but for a scorer of Durant's level, it will be useless as long as you can't stay directly in front of him.

Durant took two steps and took off for a layup. Gobert's defensive position was very good. He waited in a small position in front of the reasonable collision zone, waiting for Durant to come up and jump to interfere!

This position can prevent Durant from making sudden shots and prevent Durant from getting too close to the basket. Facing Gobert's overwhelming defensive range, Durant found it a bit difficult and had to increase the arc of his approach!

Just like that, under Gobert's perfect defense, Durant missed a layup! It must be like this when the duck you got flies away like this!

"Missed the layup! Haha, the Mavericks' worst-hit area has now become a no-fly zone! Taking a shot close to the basket is obviously not a wise choice!"

Gobert himself smiled slightly. After grabbing the rebound, he immediately made a long pass from the backcourt. Sure enough, Yiyang was already at the forefront. Curry reached out from behind to grab Yiyang's ball, but Yiyang still dunked, 7 to 8, with only one point left! At this time, the referee blew his whistle, two plus one!

Gobert excitedly rushed forward and hammered Yiyang on the chest. Curry was so embarrassed on the defensive end just now that he committed all the fouls on Yiyang!

And what about Gobert? He has found a familiar feeling and this is the rhythm of his game!

Gobert is that kind of competitive player. The so-called competitive player is the one who gets more excited the more he plays, and the more he plays, the better he gets!

Under the gushing "MVP" chants from Mavericks fans, Yiyang hit an extra free throw to tie the score. At this time, Steve Kerr called the first timeout of the game.

The camera showed Draymond Green, this big-mouthed guy's face was dull. Obviously, his pre-match remarks were seriously inconsistent with the current situation. The Mavericks have completely suppressed the Warriors in the paint!

"No one will doubt Rudy's inclusion in the Best Defensive Player nomination list now. Judging from his performance in just a few minutes, Rudy is still the same Rudy. Although he has missed a lot of regular season games, he is indeed qualified!" French commentator The player was dancing with joy. Of course he was happy to see players from his country performing brilliantly in the NBA. They look at Rudy Gobert just like Chinese fans looked at Yao Ming.

"No, I still think this is wrong. Rudy should not have been nominated, but this award should be awarded directly to him!"

Vincent Collet is really not humble towards the players of his national team.
