One Guard

Chapter 90 : Reversing momentum

Rondo was not at all discouraged because Yiyang and Chandler completed a wonderful aerial coordination, because his defense just now actually put Yiyang into a desperate situation. If it weren’t for “big baby” Davis’s extra effort, he wouldn’t even be able to pass the ball.

So, when Rondo came over with the ball, his face was full of confidence. Today, even Kidd can’t help him, let alone a rookie!

Rondo came to Yiyang with the ball. Instead of stopping the ball, he broke through!

Yiyang hurriedly posted defense. Although he was a lot taller than Rondo, Rondo’s physical strength greatly exceeded Yiyang’s expectations.

This point guard who can head-to-head with Kobe, James and others, when facing the body against Yiyang, which is already a weakness, suddenly it is quite easy.

Rondo went all the way to the basket, but Yiyang had to step back. When Rondo came to the left side of the rim, he raised his long arm high and lightly took off. With Yiyang across, he used his slender arms and shook his hand to hook the basketball.

The basketball was wiping the backboard and refracting into the net. It seemed that Rondo’s goal was simply effortless.

“Fuck!” Yiyang no longer expressionlessly, but screamed through gritted teeth. This may be the most humiliating goal Yiyang has ever scored when he is playing against a player who is shorter than himself.

Rondo hooks Yiyang directly in the air to make a layup, which is simply defying Yiyang’s defense.

Kidd looked at Rondo, who scored easily, and he was also very helpless. After all, Rondo is a real star player! He is not the old Byron Davis and Chauncey Billups, nor is he too young D.J. Augustine and Mike Conley.

He is Rajon Rondo, a star point guard in his prime! Is such an opponent really too strong for a rookie like Yiyang?

Just as Kidd was thinking, another round of duel between Yiyang and Rondo began again on the field.

Rondo feels that this rookie is nothing terrible. The reason why he can play so well before is entirely because his opponent is not good! Today, after changing himself, Yiyang won’t want to make any good results.

Rondo’s defense made it difficult for Yiyang to move, and the excellent overall defense of the Celtics made Yiyang unable to play the ball easily.

In the commentary, almost everyone praised Rondo’s defense. Compared with Rondo, Yiyang looked so immature and so vulnerable.

Yiyang could only rush the ball in the end, but fortunately, this pass did not make a mistake. After getting the basketball, Nowitzki took the ball and shot. Hit two points. The Mavericks scored again, but the fans also found that Yiyang was already in a state of turmoil under Rondo’s defense.

Changed Yiyang defense, Rondo still relied on his super fast speed and strong body to lean on Yiyang breakthrough. This time, Rondo didn’t score on his own. But in the middle of the breakthrough, he suddenly stopped a pass and hit the ball into Pierce’s hands.

got rid of Deshaun Stevens’ Pierce mid-range jumper, the basketball hits steadily, and Rondo returned with an assist!

“Too passive, if you continue to fight like this, the kid will collapse sooner or later.” Although Yiyang has made no mistakes so far, he was beaten by Rondo, which is also not what Kidd hopes to see.

“Do you want to use Jeter to play the first position?” Carlisle and Kidd discussed the situation seriously. At this time, Kidd is not like a player, more like an assistant coach next to Carrill.

“No, Jeter’s organizational ability is not better than that. Not only Jeter, if anyone else plays the first position, our offense will become very turbulent. I don’t think we can let that kid and Rondo go head-on. He may be strong in the future, but at least for now, he does not have the strength to head-on against Rondo. We have to tell him Rondo’s shortcomings, and then let him target Rondo’s shortcomings!”

Kidd finished, Carlisle turned to look at his real assistant coach Terry Stotts.

“I also agree that on the defensive end, Rondo can be allowed to shoot as much as possible. As for the offensive end, we have to set up more pick-and-rolls for him and let teammates help him beat Rondo.”

After listening to their suggestions, Carlisle nodded. On the field, Yiyang just passed the half-court with the ball. At this moment, Carlisle stood up and called a timeout.

Yiyang looked sweaty and gritted his teeth. This picture is exactly the same as when Kidd was off the court just now.

Carlisle didn’t waste time, and hurriedly prepared the deployment. Yiyang listened carefully to the head coach’s arrangement, clenching his fists.

“As long as you follow the tactics, believe me, you can defeat him!” Carlisle looked at Yiyang’s eyes. This guy’s aggressiveness is really not so strong. Ordinary rookies are beaten by all-star players, maybe just wave their hands. But Yiyang, his unconvinced appearance, left a deep impression on Carlisle.

After 　　 played again, Rivers replaced the old Big Three, but Rondo remained on the court. Carlisle also replaced the “boxing champion”, leaving only one Nowitzki in the starting lineup.

Rondo smiled. Without Tyson Chandler, who can jump, there are no more people to pass on in Yiyang. You are done, rookie!

The Mavericks sent a sideline ball and received the ball with masculinity. The confident Rondo once again posted the defense.

But this time, Yiyang did not fear Rondo. He changed direction directly in front of him, seeming to force a breakthrough.

“This rookie, can you be crazy?” Rondo took a step and decided to use a perfect seal to make Yiyang give up. However, just when Rondo took a step, he hit a “wall”.

Rondo turned his head in surprise and found that the French brawny Johan Petro was standing beside him at the moment! No wonder Yiyang just broke through directly, it turns out that he and Petro had already planned!

Rondo tried his best to bypass the pick-and-roll, intending to go back again. But as long as Yiyang gets the space, he will be able to attack like a fish in water!

I saw the Green Army No. 9 rushing towards Yiyang quickly, but Yiyang, who was about to make a quick breakthrough, suddenly pulled his crotch back. This pull allowed Yiyang to get shooting space outside the three-point line.

Although Yiyang doesn’t take many three-pointers in the NBA, he can always make the ball. Rondo didn’t dare to take this risk. Seeing that Yiyang was about to take a shot, Rondo took a big step forward and raised his long arm, ready to interfere with this shot.

However, just when Long Duo’s heart rushed forward. Yiyang suddenly started dribbling, passing by the startled Rondo.

“What?” Rondo did not expect that he would be deceived by Yiyang’s fake Buddha worship! This rookie dared to play tricks in front of him!

Rondo hurriedly changed his focus and turned back to chase, but Yiyang’s speed was not vegetarian. In the face of Davis, the “big baby” who was at the back of the defense, Yiyang did not hesitate, he directly took off. Davis, who was not able to jump very much, even prevented Yiyang from successfully scoring a goal, but also suffered a foul.

“A beautiful breakthrough! Yi’s fake action of worshipping Buddha even fooled Rajon Rondo! This kid really won’t convince anyone!”

Glen Davis raised his hand helplessly. If the ball is replaced by KG, maybe he can really complete the block. It’s a pity that people just recognized that they came.

With the cooperation of the Dallas fans, Yiyang made two free throws in a quiet environment. Although it was just an ordinary killing, Rondo had already smelled a hint of danger.

After 　　, the Celtics offense. After being played by Yiyang, Rondo naturally hopes to fight Yiyang to find face. But when he walked beyond the three-point line, Rondo was dumbfounded.

The rookie wearing the Dallas No. 1 jersey retreated to the free throw line to defend Rondo! He gave Rondo a huge open shot opportunity, just let him shoot with confidence!

“Let’s look down on people!” Rondo was very angry. The thing he disliked the most in his life was that people talked about his shots.

Rondo still remembers that when the Celtics went to a museum event last year, they met with the then U.S. President ***. At that time, *** pointed at Rondo next to Ray Allen and said. “Why don’t you teach that kid to shoot?”

Although this is just a joke, Rondo also smiled at the President of the United States. But in fact, his shooting is so bad that the President of the United States can make a joke, which makes Rondo very sad.

The next day, Rondo made crazy shots to prove himself. But the result is that his crazy iron strikes deepen the impression that he can’t shoot.

Now, being ignored by a rookie about his shooting makes Rondo feel more uncomfortable than being joked by the President of the United States.

So Rondo took a step forward, then just pulled it up and shot! In training, Rondo didn’t miss a goal at a position within the three-point line!

Rondo took a step forward, and Yiyang followed suit. You know, Yiyang’s Gauguin is dominant, and his wingspan is also very good.

was originally an open shot opportunity. As a result, Rondo turned into a defensive shot. For Rondo, who is not good at shooting, this ball is naturally off the mark.

“It succeeded, and successfully contained Rondo’s offensive momentum!” As soon as Kenny Smith’s voice fell, Johan Petro grabbed the rebound and passed it to Yiyang.

Yiyang catches the ball and ran, Rondo chased after this one. Chasing after him, this has always been Rondo’s specialty. Yiyang’s rapid breakthrough caught the rest of the Celtics off guard, but Rondo had the speed to close Yiyang.

However, Yiyang was not overwhelmed by just hitting Rondo. He knew that the guy behind him was still quite dangerous So, Yiyang, who broke through to the basket, suddenly passed the ball back, and the basketball flew from the basket to beyond the three-point line. At 45° to the left of the basket, Dirk Nowitzki just arrived!

Since all the Celtics players’ defensive attention is on Yiyang, when the German received the basketball, there was no one beside him!

This kind of empty shooting opportunity, Nowitzki will almost never miss!

He made a soft leap and threw the basketball softly. Rondo stuck in position, hoping to use his strong rebounding ability to protect the ball.

However, the Germans did not give Rondo such an opportunity. This basketball went directly to the net, Yiyang completed the assist and Nowitzki hit a three-pointer! The Mavericks narrowed the difference to only one point!

“He did it.” Kidd, who was sitting on the bench holding his calf, smiled gratifiedly, Yiyang, even in the face of Rondo, he would not disappoint!

After 　　, the Mavericks who have shown confidence are more and more courageous. And some impatient Rondo was unable to lead the team’s second team to a good game.

After all, Rondo is a paranoid guy. As long as the teammate’s running position is not in place, he will not pass the ball. The tactical execution ability of the Celtics’ second team is indeed not on par with the starting team.

In this way, when the first quarter ended, the Mavericks who had been suppressed out of breath took a 4-point lead.

19 to 23, a combination that is as strong as the Celtics Big Three, you have to do your best in Dallas!

Rondo turned his head on the bench to look at the number one in the opposite half, this kid, really difficult!

The biggest obstacle to the advancement of the green shirts seems to be more than just Nowitzki…
