One Guard

Chapter 73 : Leading the climax for the second time

In the first quarter, although the Grizzlies eventually evened the score, Leonard Hollins was not satisfied with the team’s performance.

As a team proud of defense, the Grizzlies allowed the Mavericks to score 29 points in the first quarter. When Yiyang was on the court, the Mavericks used a wave of consecutive goals to separate the score.

Hollins’ eyes fell on Tony Allen, but quickly moved away. If Tony Allen is on the court, the Grizzlies’ outside offensive firepower will be greatly reduced. The coach decided to watch for a while. If Yiyang still performs well after coming onto the court in the second quarter, it will not be too late to replace Tony Allen.

“Continue to use the breakthrough to hit the Mavericks’ defense! The later the game, the worse the performance of Old Kidd will be due to the intense consumption of physical energy. I want you to consume him, even if you can’t score, you can create opportunities for your teammates There is no need to be afraid, Mike, this is not Jason’s era anymore!” Hollins has high hopes for Mike Conley, after all, Xiao Conley’s performance in the last game has indeed shown some superstar-like potential.

Soon, the game restarted. But when the Mavericks players came on the field, Hollins was taken aback. Kidd did not continue to play, instead, it was Yiyang who had an excellent performance in the first quarter! And Yiyang’s backcourt partner has also changed from Jose Barria to the more sophisticated “Jet” Terry.

After 　　 Terry played with Yiyang, he was very excited every time he played with Yiyang at the same time. Although Conley had nothing on the surface, he was already full of fighting spirit in his heart.

In the first quarter, Yiyang almost robbed Conley of the limelight. Now, of course the young Conley wants to respond!

“Coach Carlisle did not perform substitutions according to the rotation of the previous game this time. He also got on the court ahead of time. It seems that the prospects who have achieved excellent performance in the first quarter will be given a heavy responsibility!”

Along with everyone’s expectations, Yiyang took over the baseline kick from the Mavericks substitute French center Johan Petro, and started the offense in the new quarter.

In the first quarter of the game, Yiyang was matching the team’s starting lineup. With Nowitzki and others, Yiyang can naturally complete assists easily.

But now, except for Marion, the other four players on the Mavericks are from the second team. The offensive power of the Mavericks second team is far less powerful than the starting lineup.

When the team’s substitute insider Ian Masinmi leaned on Randolph, it was impossible to play the ball. If it’s Nowitzki, Yiyang’s pass is likely to get an assist. After all, the Germans’ post-back singles efficiency is quite amazing.

But Masinmi, even if Yiyang passes the ball into his hands, it doesn’t make much sense. As a blue-collar center, Masinmi’s rough offensive skills make him completely innocent when facing Randolph with his back.

Helpless, Yiyang had to raise his hand and call a pick-and-roll.

Ma Xinmi, who is strong and fast-moving, lifted up quickly, and Yiyang started just right, causing Mike Conley to be abruptly stopped by the pick-and-roll.

Randolph immediately changed defense and moved one step horizontally to block Yiyang. However, Yiyang quickly changed direction in the narrow space after the pick-and-roll, passing Randolph again!

Conley and Randolph are now both breached by Yiyang, Marc Gasol immediately left behind the Frenchman who was traded to the Mavericks with Yiyang, and made up for the basket!

But Marc Gasol’s slow pace made it impossible for him to catch up with Yiyang’s breakthrough rhythm. Yiyang took off, just about to shoot the basketball. Gasol leaped sharply and rushed forward.

As a result, Gasol, who was too slow, failed to shoot the basketball, but instead slapped Yiyang’s forearm with a palm. After being violated, Yiyang’s layup just shot, the basketball wiped the backboard from the side, and then bounced back to the net.

“Hit three points! Yi’s breakthrough is very deadly. Once he came up, he got a chance to hit three points!” In the absence of strong teammates support, Kenny Smith did not expect that Yiyang could solve the problem by himself. .

He thought that Yiyang, who was slightly thin and not stable enough to shoot the ball, was Rubio’s kind of guard who could only pass the ball. But this wonderful breakthrough made Kenny Smith realize his mistake! Yiyang can not only help his teammates score, but his own scoring ability is not bad at all.

Yiyang did not become agitated when the referee sounded the whistle. This kid just stood on the free throw line silently, waiting for the referee to pass the ball.

The penalty kick was made by Yiyang steadily. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies were educated by a rookie.

Among these, it is not Marc Gasol that is most annoying in my heart, but Mike Conley, who has been humiliated again!

According to the original plan, he is the offensive strength of this quarter! Although Kidd has now become Yiyang, Kangli still decided to proceed according to the original plan.

Therefore, facing Yiyang, Kangli did not choose to pass the ball, but also called a pick-and-roll, ready to use the set against Kidd to return Yiyang one.

Randolph’s pick-and-roll is very good, and this former “bad fat guy” quietly moved his position during the pick-and-roll.

Yiyang wanted to shout for illegal cover, but he knew that the referee would not change the sentence if he didn’t find it. So, simply eat this dumb loss.

Seeing Kang Li had flashed past him, Yiyang tried to get rid of him, and rushed towards Kang Li.

Kangli smiled triumphantly after successfully breaking through, pick-and-roll, but you are not the only one who can play!

The Grizzlies No. 11 intends to repeat the old tricks. Instead of going to fight with the Frenchman Petrol at the basket, he suddenly stopped a jump shot within the free throw line! Conley believes that he can continue the fiery touch of the previous game.

It seems that everything is ready. Yiyang was blocked behind him, and Petro couldn’t prevent it.

Just as he was about to take the ball, Conley felt that the basketball seemed to be pushed away by someone from behind.

In the next second, this force suddenly increased, and directly fanned the basketball out of Conley’s hands! French center Petron raised his hand reflexively and received the basketball. The Grizzlies offense was completely over!

“What!?” Kang Li looked around him suspiciously, and found that Yiyang had just landed. This guy, is it possible that he blocked his shot from behind? You know, he was still entangled with Randolph just now! How did this guy ran up so quickly! ?

Kangli may not know how fast Yiyang is. The most important thing is that the paranoia of the Dallas One has greatly exceeded Kangli’s expectations!

He wants to guard Conley, this guy will spare no effort to stop him. When Yiyang pounced on his “prey” like a beast, few people were able to escape.

Petrol, who received the basketball, was taken aback for a moment. It was not until Yiyang yelled at him that he finally recovered and handed the ball to Yiyang.

Yiyang slowly advanced, while gesturing to direct his teammates to attack. Even if everyone on the field is more qualified than Yiyang, the Mavericks players are still willing to listen to him.

When Yiyang led the team’s second team to play on the court, Kidd sitting off the court found that he seemed to see a…the shadow of a leader!

Conley, a little frustrated, hopes to end the defense early, and then immediately return the color on the offensive end. Therefore, he used a close-fitting approach to force Yiyang, hoping that this rookie would make mistakes.

Yiyang was indeed embarrassed by Kang Li’s sudden close-fitting, but that basketball, like a part of Yiyang’s body, flexibly alternated back and forth in his hands.

Just when Conley was trying to steal the basketball like a madman, Yiyang suddenly passed the ball and let Marion control the ball.

Yiyang did not stay in place after passing the ball, but immediately started the run. Seeing this situation, Conley hurried to keep up, but immediately encountered Petro’s off-the-ball screen, and the follow-up defense was delayed!

All these are tactics that Carlisle has arranged long ago. Yiyang just led everyone to implement the tactics well.

Yiyang crossed the crowd from the middle, and when he reached the basket, he suddenly turned left and ran to the bottom corner.

After 　　 was delayed, Kang Li followed Yiyang’s running route. In order to prevent Yiyang from having any shooting space, Kangli kept accelerating in the process of chasing and defending!

As soon as 　　 also masculine ran to the bottom corner, Sean Marion’s ball was also delivered! The not-so-different cooperation between the two makes people misunderstand that they have worked together for several years. This is the advantage of playing with a veteran, because these guys on the Mavericks rarely make mistakes. As long as Yiyang runs out of opportunity, he is not afraid of not being able to catch the ball.

Yiyang received the basketball, stood on his feet, and raised his hand to shoot! Conley, running at full strength, leaped and flew high, looking like he was going to give Yiyang a volleyball hat!

Then, Yiyang’s shot was fake. After seeing Conley being ignited, Yiyang immediately dribbled the ball and easily passed by Conley who was jumping. Marc Gasol immediately made up the defense, Yiyang was not scared by this European mobile fortress, but unexpectedly dropped the shot. The basketball flew high and fell quickly.

Gasol stretched out his long arm and slapped the basketball back. But the referee’s hurried whistle sounded again, this is a jamming ball!

“Interference with the ball! There is no problem with this penalty. We can clearly see that Mark completed the block after the basketball fell. After scoring two more points, he has already scored five points in a row!”

“Boy, dare to hit anything!!” Kidd, who instructed Yiyang’s training, knew very well that throwing is not Yiyang’s strong point. Then if Gasol didn’t interfere with the ball foul and counted two points directly, it might not be possible to score. But it is precisely because of his bravery that the opposing center will react. Seeing this, Kidd relaxed and straightened his legs on the bench. Now, the old man himself can take more rest…

“Mike! What are you doing!?” Seeing his proud defense was so disturbed by Conley, Lionel Hollins couldn’t restrain the anger in his heart. He yelled, but this did not calm young Conley, but made him more irritable.

Being beaten up like this by a rookie, whoever changes face will not be able to hold back. Conley did not wake up, but forced a breakthrough in the next round.

Yiyang was close to Conley, and finally relied on his own advantages in height and wingspan to successfully complete the interference. Conley’s strengths failed to make a layup.

Yiyang grabbed the defensive rebound by himself, glanced at the front court, and then passed directly!

Yiyang threw the ball like this, and everyone’s hearts were raised in their throats.

“Smelly boy! You are damning revenge! This is going to run to death!” Terry knew that Yiyang had passed the ball to himself This fellow who is no longer young runs hard, Just to receive that basketball. As long as two steps slower, the basketball will go out of bounds! So this old guy murmured while running wildly, he didn’t want to waste such an unexpected pass.

A step before the baseline, Terry raised his arm and just removed the ball! Looking around, the nearest defender, O.J. Mayo, is still three steps away from him!

Terry did not hesitate, took the ball and withdrew directly, and then made a decisive shot outside the three-point line! As Yiyang’s “big brother”, Terry couldn’t grasp the wonderful pass sent by the younger brother, it was too cheap.

After Terry took the shot, Mayo just rushed forward. The basketball seemed to fall a little earlier, and it knocked on the left side of the basket first. Then it bounced high again. This time, when the basketball fell again, it still went into the net obediently!

After 　　 Terry scored, he compared his hands with three fingers, then opened his arms and ran back to his own half. The jet takes off again! This time fueling the Jets is a guy who has played less than two games in the NBA.

Within a few minutes of the second quarter, Lionel Hollins stopped the game again. Yiyang, who led the Mavericks’ second team, froze in a wave of 8-0 offensive climax in front of the tightly defensive Grizzlies. And this is also the second time Yiyang has stopped the game today.

“Tony! Go! Your mission is only one, lock me that **** flower show!” Hollins shouted angrily, he couldn’t let the game die in the hands of a rookie.

The player named Tony raised his hand and made a gesture similar to a salute. “Guaranteed to complete the task, boss!”
