One Guard

Chapter 91 : The opponent at 1.75 meters

Kenny Smith didn’t expect that the Mavericks, who were overwhelmed for their breath, would eventually become the one that ended the first quarter with a lead.

Rajan Rondo almost dominated the game before, but at the end of the first quarter, Yiyang’s excellent performance eased the momentum of the Green Army No. 9.

At this moment, most commentators are not talking about the Celtics Big Three, nor the German Nowitzki. Everyone’s goal was placed on the duel between Yiyang and Rondo.

The wonderful offensive and defensive performance of the two in the first quarter of the match made fans love it. In the first quarter, Yiyang and Rondo were almost tied. People now want to know who the final winner will be.

Yiyang, who was sitting on the bench, was sweating profusely. After all, in the first quarter, Yiyang was the longest player in the Mavericks team except Nowitzki.

Although a little panting, Yiyang’s expression is still murderous. Carlisle first let the players rest for a while, then a few minutes later, he started to pick up the tactical board and set up tactics.

“At the beginning of the second quarter, you continue to play.” Rick Carlisle’s decision was entirely within everyone’s expectations. Maybe the spectators in the stands and the commentators on the narration stage don’t know what’s wrong with Kidd, but the Mavericks players know very well that Kidd, who has a recurring leg injury, cannot play for too long today.

Yiyang nodded silently and continued to fight Rondo, which was just what he wanted.

There is no big problem seeing Yiyang, Carlisle continued. “In the second quarter, don’t confront him. Defensively, I hope you can completely contain him on the defensive end. You did a good job in the second half of the first quarter. As long as Rondo doesn’t play well on the offensive end, it’s here. On the defensive end, he will also be affected.”

“I see, coach.”

After giving Yiyang an explanation, Carlisle went on to explain to others what they needed to pay attention to. This coach who has coached NBA games for nearly ten years knows that for a guy like Yiyang, there are some things that you only need to say once, and he knows what to do.

Defense, defense…Yiyang keeps repeating this word in his mind. While Yiyang was still simulating the image of defending Rondo in his mind, the electronic buzzer sounded in the American Airlines Center Arena. The rest period is over, the Mavericks and the Celtics’ second quarter game officially kicked off!

After 　　 Yiyang came on the field, he immediately cast his scorching eyes on the opponent’s half. But to Yiyang’s surprise, Rondo did not step into the court, but sat on the bench in his training suit!

was replaced by Nate Robinson, the most topical dunk king of the year, the 1.75-meter tall “little potato” Nate Robinson!

Yiyang looked back at Carlisle, Carlisle was obviously also a little surprised.

“Play as planned!” Carlisle waved his hand, and Yiyang stepped into the court with peace of mind. So, let’s start with the defense!

Nate Robinson, a man who is about the same height as an ordinary person, but is a magical little man who can fly over a center like Howard to complete a dunk and win the slam dunk contest. Of course, Chinese fans are not unfamiliar with this guy. Back then, he was 1.75 meters tall and completed the block on Yao Ming, who is 2.29 meters tall. These pictures are undoubtedly the wonderful moments Nate Robinson left to the world.

Although in terms of bounce and physical fitness, Nate Robinson is indeed top-notch. But the basketball game does not depend on the height of the jump.

The performance of this little guard is extremely unstable. Sometimes, he can become a superstar to save the team. But sometimes, Nate Robinson is also likely to be useless on the court. This is also the reason why Nate will move between multiple teams, not because of his ability, but because of his stability. Every time the coach uses him, it is like a gambling!

Now, when Nate, who is only 1.75 meters tall, holds the ball and walks in front of Yiyang, Yiyang’s open arms and excellent height conditions have severely blocked Nate Robinson’s vision.

Of course, this is not the first time Nate has encountered this situation. This guy called a pick-and-roll and planned to use his speed to break through! Because it seems that even if the thin Yiyang can keep up with him, Nate has the confidence to force a layup.

The huge size of Glen Davis immediately stated that Yiyang seemed to have to work a lot to get around this fat man. However, Nate had just started, and Yiyang immediately bypassed the pick-and-roll. He had already prepared and predicted, waiting for Nate Robinson to start!

Almost instantly, Yiyang reposted to “Little Tudou”. But the strong Nate Robinson did not slow down, he kept breaking through with his chest on his shoulders!

I have to admit that Nate Robinson, who is only 1.75 meters tall, surprised Yiyang in terms of strength. This guy is exactly a small tank, fast and solid.

Nate walked all the way to the basket, and then made some small movements on Yiyang’s elbow to push Yiyang away.

Yiyang was pushed back a step, but soon tried his best to post it. At the same time, Nate Robinson leaped high, ready to seize this fleeting opportunity to make a layup!

“This kid is nothing more than that!” Nate Robinson secretly rejoiced in his heart. When he was off the court in the first quarter, he saw Rondo hit Yiyang with a breakthrough.

“Pop!” However, this crisp sound caused the entire US Airline Center Arena to explode. Yiyang’s palm was firmly patted on the basketball in the hands of Nate Robinson. The basketball flew beyond the three-point line and was picked up by Sean Marion. Yiyang, he completed a beautiful cover for Nate!

“Nate was indeed a disadvantage in height, but he also reacted very quickly. There was no foul on this ball, it was a risk!” During the speech, Marion had already held the ball and started to move forward. Celtics backup forward Marquis Daniels has no way to keep up with Marion, and Marion dribbles the ball to the opponent’s basket with a single-handed dunk. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics took a terrible blow!

“We don’t know when Coach Rivers is going to bring the Big Three and Rondo up, but what I know is that with the second team, the Celtics have no chance of getting close to the score.”

Rivers also wants to substitute, but Rondo has just played a whole quarter and he needs plenty of rest. As for the Big Three… If these three old guys can be three or four years younger, Rivers is absolutely willing to let them play now. Unfortunately, it is now the last month of 2010. The Big Three can’t fly around the stadium for the entire game.

After breaking through and losing, Nate Robinson plans to look for opportunities on the outside. After all, this guy still has the ability to project. Before moving to the Celtics in the 09-10 season, Nate’s field goal percentage was even as high as 45%.

Robinson directs his teammates to move, and he has been looking for opportunities non-stop. But Yiyang, who had entrenched the word defense in his own mind, was like a lion that had found its prey, chasing Nate.

ran several tactics, Nate Robinson still did not get any good opportunities. The 24-second offensive time passed by the Celtics’ extremely turbulent operation. In the end, the “Little Potato” who received the ball from the left bottom corner of the three-point line had to fire forcibly!

Yiyang pushed Nate into desperation, then leaped high and straightened his long arms. Nate, who forcibly increased the arc of the basketball, naturally failed to throw the ball.

There was a crisp sound from the basket, and Nate Robinson missed his second shot in a row.

Maybe this 1.75 meter guy once staged a crazy performance of scoring 22 points in a single quarter, but today is not Nate’s day.

“Boxing King” Tyson did not hesitate after protecting the rebound, and directly threw it to Yiyang, who was about to start the rush.

Nate Robinson is not to be outdone, he follows Yiyang closely. Among the Celtics players remaining on the field, only Nate can keep up with Yiyang’s speed.

This defender, who once played a big risk on Yao Ming, wouldn’t mind blocking another Chinese shot.

Yiyang quickly stepped into the three-second zone He glanced back, and then jumped directly to the basket!

Nate Robinson’s two calves are like two powerful springs, the muscles stretched and bounced, sending him into the air.

The two guards started a duel in the air, and Nate Robinson gave a hard shot. The finger touched the basketball, but the palm of his hand hit Yiyang’s forearm firmly.

Yiyang completely deformed his layup due to being violated. But he still tried his best to maintain balance, trying to hold the ball to the basket.

Finally, Yiyang, who had completely lost his center of gravity, slammed into the ground from high in the sky. At the same time, the referee’s whistle sounded, and the basketball shot by Yiyang bounced back into the frame after slightly scratching the backboard!

“Nice fast break! Three-pointer! Also got a chance to make three-pointers! God, even if Nate uses a foul, he can’t stop Yiyang from scoring!” Kenny Smith jumped up, and just now Yiyang, who fell heavily to the ground, also stood up abruptly, and then stepped into the free throw line unhurriedly.

Yiyang’s free throw is still stable, and this opportunity is not wasted. After the free throw, Yiyang turned his head and looked at Rajon Rondo on the Celtics bench.

Yiyang’s eyes full of fire seemed to be talking to Rondo. “Hurry up, or you will lose!”

9 points, just a few minutes after the start of the second quarter, Yiyang led the team to a 9-point lead.

Doug Rivers can’t sit still anymore, he must regain control of the game before that number one guard goes crazy!

“Rajan!” Rivers yelled at his drake, and Rondo immediately took off his training suit.

Yiyang, I have to bury it myself!
