One Guard

Chapter 856 : Proud Capital

When Yiyang drove Horford to score with a European step layup, the Celtics’ bench was completely silent.

“The 38th point, great, he didn’t save face for his college coach at all!”

With 38 points, Yiyang used Kelly Irving’s way to help the Mavericks dominate the offensive end. Then, in his own way, Irving almost collapsed on the offensive end.

After Yiyang scored, his teammates came up with high-fives. At the same time, Stevens called a timeout again. With three minutes left to end the game, the Celtics are officially behind by 20 points. In the face of the Mavericks’ firepower that will hardly weaken, the Celtics were completely defeated in the fourth quarter, and they have now been beaten to a loss.

Stevens’ timeout is nothing more than a dying struggle in people’s eyes.

After returning from the suspension, Carlisle did not replace all the main players for safety reasons, but replaced Yiyang. To put it bluntly, Carlisle still feels that the game has been won, but left some of the main players to add a set of safety locks for the victory. This semi-main and semi-substitute lineup will be doomed to the Celtics unable to complete the miracle of reversing 20 points in the last three minutes.

“It’s over, it’s over. I know the game is still three minutes away, but everything is over. Otherwise, Coach Carlisle will not be able to take Yiyang. 20 points, have you seen it? Recently, I won 15 consecutive victories. The Boston Celtics actually lost so badly! After the start of the second half, they also increased the number of personal offenses. As a result, the Celtics did not slow down anymore. Use star players to end the second half, this is. A tactic used by the Celtics. I don’t know what kind of experience it was like Stevens was defeated by his own tactics.”

Following Kenny Smith’s commentary, the scene of the camera focused on Stevens. The smiling young coach now has empty eyes and expressionless face. It seems that this night was quite a torment for Stevens.

Two minutes later, the Celtics assistant coach stood up from the bench and removed all five starts. This means that the Celtics completely abandoned this game. The 15-game winning streak was interrupted, and their desire to break the longest 19-game winning streak in team history was completely shattered.

In Boston, countless fans wailed at home. The Celtics had a great start, but in the end, they still fell short of the blue storm in the West.

“118 to 100, the score faithfully reflects the situation on the field. The Celtics should be thankful that they will not meet the Mavericks in the playoffs early. In front of the Mavericks, even the green team has won 15 consecutive victories. The shirts are also helpless!”

“The reason the Mavericks were able to win this game is very simple, that is, they also did what Kelly should have done. Dominating the offense in the second half and ending the game completely. This is the secret of the Celtics’ 15-game winning streak. But today Kelly obviously had a terrible opponent.”

After the game, people were complaining about Irving, but in fact, it was Jaylen Brown who defended Yiyang in this game.

Jaylen Brown has never experienced such a big sense of frustration. He obviously has done his best to defend. He clearly has so much better physical condition than Yiyang. But that Chinese, he just can put the ball into the **** basket!

Brown is still too young, and what he encountered today is not unique. Yiyang, it has long been a nightmare for all defensive experts in the league.

He was like the plague, and people tried their best to stop him. But his proliferation has already killed half of the league’s teams!

“Coach Stevens, having the Mavericks ending a winning streak on the road will affect your team’s morale?”

“Kelly, can you comment on your performance today?”

“Jalen Brown, what are you thinking about when you are defensive? Are you nervous?”

After the game, the reporters were quite active. As thought before the start of the game, no matter who wins or loses, whether it is the end of a 15-game winning streak or a 16-game winning streak, it’s explosive news for the league.

There is always a record to be interrupted, but unfortunately, the Celtics are very unfortunate today.

The Celtics players and coaches were followed by reporters asking embarrassing questions. Of course, the Mavericks players were not short of reporters.

At the press conference after the Mavericks game, the media reception room was directly full. Not to mention sitting, Yiyang even felt that the scene was about to be unable to stand.

17 consecutive victories, and still defeated a strong enough opponent. These reporters must have a problem they want to throw at Yiyang.

“Also, facing a strong Celtics team, we can see that you and your teammates have achieved the ultimate in almost every aspect. You have team offenses, individual singles, and tough defenses. It seems that you can do it well. How do you evaluate What about yourself and your team? If you were asked to score, how many days would you rate the Mavericks?”

The first reporter to ask questions was very interesting. If the score is high, people will say that you have a high self-esteem. Hit it low, and people will say that Yiyang is dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates.

These reporters who look gentle in suits and leather shoes are digging holes for players everywhere.

But Yiyang has always been a veteran, and he doesn’t take this set.

“Scoring is absurd for basketball. Players are scored after every football game, but have you ever seen basketball games have this rule? So, I can’t give scores to my team and my teammates. . But if I insist on evaluating, I can only say that today’s Dallas Mavericks are almost our final form.”

Although Yiyang didn’t give a score, he still surprised the reporters below. The final form? Does it mean that the Dallas Mavericks haven’t played their true strengths yet?

※※※

“I admit to being a great player, but overconfidence will hurt him sooner or later.”

“The statement of the final form is simply nonsense, because a team can’t be in good shape throughout the season.”

“The 17-game winning streak started, which is very remarkable. But even so, the season has just begun. The Mavericks may have played an excellent game, but this does not mean they can continue to be so good!”

The next day, Yiyang was pushed to the forefront by his own remarks. In fact, no matter what he says, it will have such an effect. Who made this guy the most watched star in the league now? There is no shortage of criticism around the stars.

Under the exaggeration of the media, Yiyang almost became an arrogant man. Now, fans of the other 29 teams in the league are looking forward to the Mavericks losing, waiting to see Yiyang’s jokes.

Didn’t you say that you have the ultimate form? Don’t let us get the handle! In October, the Mavericks have five games to play. The five opponents are the Grizzlies, Thunder, Spurs, Timberwolves and Nets. The Grizzlies and Nets certainly can’t beat the Mavericks, after all, both teams are signed to the lottery. So the Spurs, Timberwolves, and Thunder are high expectations.

On behalf of the entire league, the “important task” of interrupting the Mavericks’ winning streak fell on these three teams.

Overnight, the Spurs, Timberwolves and Thunder paired up a bunch of new “fans” in an instant. They came up with countless “proofs” that the Mavericks will fail, and it seems that the Mavericks’ failure seems to be a foregone conclusion.

The match between the Mavericks and the Grizzlies on November 22 made fans of other teams cheer.

In this game, the Memphis Grizzlies, who are already under reconstruction, undoubtedly lost the game, but no one thought about the final score of the game. 95 to 94, the Mavericks, who killed the invincible in the world, actually only won the Grizzlies by 1 point!

If it were not for Yiyang’s last-minute bottom-line shooting lore match, the Mavericks’ 17-game winning streak might have been interrupted!

This game played so anxiously, not how good the Grizzlies played. The Grizzlies star Marc Gasol only scored 14 points and shot a terrible 33% from the field. The Grizzlies’ highest scorer is their sixth man, Tyreke Evans. Evans, a man who is “the pinnacle of rookie”, has a bit of a return to his performance this season. He also scored 18 points in this game. . But overall, the Grizzlies’ performance is by no means outstanding.

The performance of the Dallas Mavericks was even more disastrous. Except for Yiyang’s 33 points and a lore, everyone else seemed to have lost their souls. Mitchell scored 17 points, but the shooting percentage was only 35%. Nowitzki scored 13 points and shot only 40%.

Although they won the ball after all, the state of the Mavericks seems to have paved the way for their defeat in the next game.

Just one day after the loss to the Grizzlies, the Mavericks players ushered in the first opponent that could end their winning streak, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Before this game started, almost everyone was more optimistic about the Thunder. Although the Thunder once lost to the Mavericks, in the 22nd game, the Mavericks in bad condition were almost wiped out by the Grizzlies, while the Oklahoma City Thunder was in exceptionally good condition, beating the Warriors by 17 points!

No matter how you look at it, the Mavericks are dead. As long as the Thunder can show the state of fighting the Warriors, Yiyang will never be mad again!

But the actual situation is far from what the fans and the media imagined.

In this game, the Mavericks regained their former bravery, but the Thunder seemed to have been infected by the Mavericks. With the Big Three, only Westbrook scored 20 points for the Thunder, and Anthony only scored 16 points. The two of them are the only two players on the Thunder team to score in double figures in this game.

Paul George? George was struggling very hard in the middle distance today. He took a full 12 shots, but only scored 2 points in the game! Because they are all CIC, there is no chance of making a kill, so George didn’t even have a free throw today. With an 8.3% hit rate of 1 in 12, these numbers all seem shocking.

“This may be the worst game played in George’s professional life!” After the game, even Mike Brin commented.

George’s performance is just a microcosm of the Thunder. The Thunder scored only 81 points in the game, which is almost unbelievable in this era of high scoring and high rounds.

101 to 81, the Thunder failed to block and the Mavericks started 19 consecutive victories!

The Thunder lost first, and the pressure instantly fell on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

On December 25, the Timberwolves, who had rested for three days, faced the Mavericks back-to-back or away.

“If this can’t be won, everyone on the Timberwolves can hand over the ball to the referee, and then all go home!” Before the game began, the Minnesota local commentator was extremely confident back-to-back away game against a ball For the team, the consumption is very huge, and the Mavericks cannot perform well under such a huge consumption. As long as they keep under pressure, they will be crushed sooner or later.

But after the game began, the Mavericks’ tough defense displayed silence in the target center.

Wiggins is still playing tepidly, he doesn’t seem to pursue the word “victory” much. Downs tried to score, but it was difficult for Gobert to get too good numbers. Jimmy Butler scored 23 points, the performance is not bad, but this level of scoring is obviously not enough.

On the other hand, the Mavericks, Yiyang only scored 22 points today, but sent out 18 assists! Seven Mavericks scored in double figures, and Thibodeau’s defensive wall was completely crushed!

111 to 87, back to back away, the Mavericks still won. 20 consecutive victories! At this time, few people dared to stand up and say Yiyang was arrogant. He may be arrogant, but he is not arrogant. Because he has this arrogant capital!

The Mavericks have such momentum unless they make mistakes. Otherwise, no one can beat them at all.

Unsurprisingly, the Spurs without Leonard and the Nets without everything have become Yiyang’s “meal on the plate.” After defeating the Nets, the Mavericks scored a 22-game winning streak.

This result is only two games away from the league’s best start record of 24 consecutive victories created by the Warriors in the 15-16 season! And one more game than the Mavericks’ 74 wins season. That season, the Mavericks started with 21 consecutive victories! Throughout October and November, the Mavericks created the myth of being undefeated in the first two months of the season!

“I’m sorry, our victory must have disappointed many people.” Standing on the sidelines facing the reporter’s camera, Yiyang’s smile could not show that he had any regrets.
