One Guard

Chapter 84 : God’s gift

The consecutive scoring of Yiyang and Terry forced George Karl to call a timeout at the end of the first quarter. If he doesn’t do this, Old Karl is really worried that the Nuggets will fall behind in the first quarter. .

“You actually made an old man and a kid sore!?” There is no doubt that even Chauncey Billups must accept George Carr’s roar when the team is behind. It’s also fortunate that Billups has a gentle personality, so he can hold the team down when George Carr often swears. Otherwise, it is estimated that several players on the Nuggets will have conflicts with Crazy Karl.

George Karl’s roar was even heard by Yiyang on the other side of the court. Although it is said that the teacher produces high-level apprentices, it is still difficult for Yiyang to imagine how to play under such a grumpy coach.

Fortunately, the person sitting in front of Yiyang is a typical representative of the academic coach, Rick Carlisle. This always calm and composed coach rarely gets angry. During the period when Yiyang came to the Mavericks, he rarely even yelled.

During the timeout, Carlisle replaced Yiyang with Kidd to finish the last few minutes of the first quarter. Although Yiyang was the one who came off the bench, he played most of the time in the first quarter. One can see that Rick Carlisle is gradually completing some kind of handover. The control of the Mavericks is slowly changing hands.

At the end of the first quarter, the swingman Al Harrington, number three or four who George Karl had placed high hopes on, performed well. The veteran caught the gap between Nowitzki and Chandler, scoring 6 points on the court, and also sent a block.

Thanks to Al Harrington’s efforts, George Carr’s Nuggets didn’t fall behind too much in the first quarter.

27 to 23, the Mavericks away game are temporarily leading the Nuggets by four points. If it weren’t for the veteran Harrington to show off his magical powers in a critical moment, it is estimated that the Nuggets have been beaten to the full.

During the break, Rick Carlisle really started from the defense. He urged everyone to increase defensive intensity and encourage physical contact. If he hadn’t heard it with his own ears, Yiyang would definitely think that George Carr had said these words.

“Injuries have allowed the Nuggets to play a very limited number of people. Anthony only had a two-minute break in the entire first quarter. If he played this way in four quarters, he would definitely be exhausted! So, I want you to give each one. People put pressure on, and use our thicker lineup depth to grind well with the Nuggets!” Carlisle has a mild personality and the rhythm of the game is the same.

The Mavericks usually do not suddenly play an exaggerated offensive climax to make the game lose suspense. More often, the Mavericks will play to the last minute, and then use a deeper lineup and a steady rhythm to take away the victory tepidly.

Speaking of the depth of the bench, Carlisle is also particularly confident in the combination of Yiyang and Terry. When Billups and Anthony were tired, the Nuggets’ offense relied more on “Nerve Knife” JR Smith and Harrington. But these two guys are not always reliable.

Yiyang and Terry are a set of offensive points that Carlisle can trust. These two guys often quarrel in private, but in fact they have a good relationship, and they always bring their tacit understanding to the basketball court.

At the beginning of the second quarter, George Carr let Harrington, who played well, replace Gary Forbes, who was the original number four. The coaching styles of Carlisle and George Carr are also in stark contrast.

Carlisle would rather let the good guys sit on the bench, but also to ensure the depth of the team’s lineup. And Crazy Karl, as long as it is powerful, you can go down and sit on the bench!

I have to admit that Harrington really feels hot today, and his luck is also very good. He took advantage of his footsteps several times to break Nowitzki’s attack and succeeded, and some of the **** that seemed to be completely interfered by Nowitzki were also scored.

Although Harrington had no way to get the Germans on the defensive end, the score between the two sides was so stalemate.

Rick Carlisle is not in a hurry, this time, he has the capital and the Nuggets dragged it to the end. In the second quarter, the game played for eight minutes in this anxious state. The Dallas fans and Chinese fans watching the game in front of the TV were eager to see. All of them were waiting for Carlisle to put Yiyang on the court.

On the field, Old Kidd was already exhausted. This extremely athletic lineup of the Nuggets makes Kidd naturally not having a good time.

But it was the grumpy old man George Carr who called the timeout first. At this time, Carlisle was convinced that it was time!

“Also! Jason!” Carlisle immediately turned his head and yelled at the two guards, one old and one young.

“Here, boss!” Terry responded with a grin.

“After you and Yi are on the court, you have to open the score in the last four minutes!” Carlisle couldn’t help clenching his fist.

“Accepted!” Terry smiled slightly, and then touched Yiyang’s head beside him. “Did you hear what the boss said? Rookie.”

“I’m not deaf, old man.” Yiyang replied sullenly, but Terry beside him smiled happily.

After the timeout ended, the Nuggets only took Harrington and Billups off the field. Anthony, must continue to fight with huge consumption. On the Mavericks side, Carlisle replaced four people in one go. Except for Nowitzki, who took a few minutes of rest at the beginning of the second quarter, everyone changed. The most eye-catching substitution is naturally the combination of Yiyang and Terry’s back line.

The Nuggets took the lead in sounding the clarion call for counterattack, and now the person who rushed to Yiyang to control the ball has changed from Billups to Nuggets second-year rookie Ty Lawson.

Ty Lawson does not follow the rules and take it slowly like Billups. He sprints directly after receiving the ball from the bottom line. The entire Nuggets ran after their number one position. This is the Denver Track and Field Team. “Features!”

Yiyang did not hesitate, and immediately blocked Tay Lawson’s forward path. But this short and stout defender never feared physical confrontation. The strong Tai Lawson carried Yiyang on his shoulders to move on!

However, when Lawson raised his head to pass the ball, he realized that Yiyang, who had a huge height advantage, was waving his arms, which greatly disturbed Tai Lawson’s vision!

An exquisite cut of Anthony was missed by Ty Lawson’s not wide enough vision, and the star who was burdened with the task of overtaking the score yelled desperately.

Listening to the team boss Anthony shouting so, the young Lawson was also anxious. He hurried the ball and passed it in the direction of Anthony.

However, Anthony, who had lost his best time to catch the ball, failed to get the ball as he wished. Before the basketball fell into his hands, it was intercepted by the Mavericks substitute No. 3 Brian Cardinal.

Cardinal, nicknamed “Administrator”, is a good old man in the Mavericks team. He will even take the initiative to clean the floor of the training ground and inflate the basketball. But this does not mean that Cardinal is completely useless on the basketball court. Although he is not very capable, he is definitely not just a mascot!

“Boy!” Cardinal yelled after he intercepted the basketball, flicked it hard, and launched a fast attack with a long pass.

Cardinal passed the ball a little high, and Yiyang had to jump up at a high speed to get to the basketball. But if Yiyang jumped up to catch the ball, it obviously delayed the fast break.

In order to solve this problem, Yiyang specially watched Terry’s running position. Terry this guy didn’t seem to slow down, but continued to cut into the basket.

Yiyang immediately drew up a plan, and when the basketball flew to his head, the Dallas One jumped vigorously.

Yiyang grabbed the basketball in the air, and at the same time, Tai Lawson also used Yiyang to jump up at this time. As soon as that **** number one hits the ground, Lawson will immediately get the ball!

Ke Yiyang hasn’t landed yet, in the air, he just got the basketball and passed the ball again!

After the middle hand of Yiyang, the basketball changed its “course” and turned and flew towards Terry on the other side of the court.

The 33-year-old Terry may not be able to complete the shocking dunks like before, but a lightweight one-handed frame is still not difficult for Terry.

The basket shook slightly, and the basketball was dunked into the frame by Terry’s big hand. The Pepsi Center was suddenly overwhelmed by the boos of the fans, but Terry put his hand to his ear with enjoyment and listened to everything.

“Passing the ball non-stop in the air, god, is there any ball that can’t be done?” Kenny Smith looked up at the replay on the big screen of the scene. He didn’t know how Yiyang did it. Pass the ball quickly and accurately in an instant. But he knew that the Mavericks wanted to open the score!

Then, Anthony finally got the basketball as he wished. But Anthony, who didn’t have a good rest in the two quarters, missed his shot from beyond the three-point line. Physical fitness also plays a key role in the stability of a player’s shooting.

Anthony has missed, and Yiyang will not disappoint Carlisle’s expectations of him. The defender, who always reveals a fierce energy, didn’t pass the ball this time. Instead, the French center Johan Petro, who came off the bench, asked for a pick-and-roll.

But when the pick-and-roll was in place, Yiyang quickly broke through from the side where there was no pick-and-roll. Unprepared, Lawson hurriedly moved sideways, but it was too late. Yiyang’s speed is faster than he imagined!

After 　　 broke through, Yiyang didn’t have any softness, so he made a quick layup and scored two points. With a simple tactic, Yiyang blasted Tai Lawson to the ground.

After an attack, Yiyang and German Nowitzki played a pick-and-roll cooperation. As everyone imagined, Yiyang finally gave the ball to the “King Nuo” who was left on the perimeter. For the Mavericks, passing the ball back to the big man after a pick-and-roll breakthrough is a fairly classic tactic, which has been thoroughly studied by various opponents.

This time, the German chariot did not shoot the ball for a three-pointer after getting the ball, but pushed it with both hands on his left side, and Nowitzki passed the ball again!

The ball flew towards the left bottom corner. Just when the ball was about to fly out of bounds, Yiyang suddenly rushed to the ball, just in time to catch the basketball.

“Not bad!” Kenny Smith had to admire the Mavericks’ tactical execution ability!

After receiving the basketball, Yiyang drove away with no one in two steps. He looked up at the NBA’s three-point line, which is farther than the NCAA, and then made up his mind, with his feet hard, jumped and shot!

Lawson rushed forward, but he was only 1.8 meters tall, but he couldn’t interfere with Yiyang, who was tall and arm-length. Yiyang calmly shot at the bottom corner and landed, watching the flying basketball, Yiyang’s shooting posture of pressing his wrist has not yet recovered.

The basketball quickly climbed in the air, then fell quickly, crossing a beautiful arc. After that, the orange-red basketball made the net white flowers, and then fell on the hardwood floor.

“Hollow hit! Yi’s three-pointer, this is the third three-pointer he has made since joining the NBA! It’s so beautiful, and on the court, there is no obvious shortcoming at all! Now, this guy can also be in the NBA Hunting outside of the three-point line.” Kenny Smith just watched Yiyang’s shooting posture specially, but the standard is so hard that he can’t fault it.

Is this guy really an Asian who couldn’t shoot three-pointers in college? Smith couldn’t believe how fast he improved.

After this three-pointer was scored, George Carr almost called a timeout.

“Cameron! Where did your momentum go!?” But the coach finally put the pressure on Anthony’s shoulders.

Anthony doesn’t want to argue with George Carr. He doesn’t believe that the number one guard can still face himself offensively.

The defense of the Nuggets is a high score for Yiyang, but the defense of the Mavericks will not treat Anthony like this.

Nowitzki made a tough aerial interception and Anthony’s layup slipped out of the basket. Yiyang, who was chasing after him, jumped high and protected the defensive rebound in the chaotic three-second zone.

Angrily, Anthony immediately took the hand, trying to force Yiyang’s basketball away. However, Yiyang fell directly to the ground, squeezing the basketball under him.

Just when everyone thought Yiyang was at a loss, the orange basketball quietly rolled out of the crowd!

Terry was still quick-eyed and found the ball passed by Yiyang. The “Jets” picked up the basketball and ran for a long distance. When everyone reacted, Terry had already run to the Nuggets’ halftime.

Another assist from 　　 Yiyang brought another easy scoring by Terry. And this time easily scored, also helped the Mavericks gain a 10-point lead.

10 points and 6 assists, Yiyang’s data has improved compared with the previous game. In just half of the game, he got a good number.

Everything is proceeding step by step according to the plan, watching Yiyang who didn’t say anything after getting up from the ground, patted the ash on his sneakers and continued to open his arms. Rick Carlisle suddenly felt very lucky. This flower show is really a gift from God.

Yiyang stood at the forefront of the team resolutely, without fear of Lawson who was strong and fast. The points difference has once again become double digits. How can you struggle? Denver Nuggets, swallow the defeat!
