Chapter 284: The Parts That Never Go Wrong

14-2, the young Thunder was completely blinded by this wave of offensive climax. The Mavericks can shoot from outside the three-point line, and Yiyang also hits the basket in a row.

Reluctantly, Westbrook walked under the basket and picked it up and smashed it to the ground. If he encounters a bad-tempered referee, he may even get a technical foul for this action.

However, it is normal for Westbrook to have such a big reaction, being stolen from behind by the opposing player and then watching the opponent complete a beautiful two-handed back dunk. No matter who this kind of thing is changed to, it is a great shame!

There's nothing Brooks can do about it, and that's what young teams should pay for their tuition. Westbrook and others are indeed less vigilant on the court.

Although he was reluctant, Westbrook understood at least one thing. If you and Yiyang fight to the end today, you will only lose yourself and the team in the end. He knew very well that his shooting percentage should be low by now, and the team was so many points behind.

The No. 0 guard finally calmed down after a quarter and a half of frantic attack. He looked at Durant, who only spread his hands slightly. The taciturn big man never complained, but Westbrook knew that now, he couldn't afford to hold the team back!

Ibaka picks up the basketball and hands it to Westbrook, who pushes back to the frontcourt. Mavericks fans shouted the word "defense" and they were expecting Yiyang to continue to give Westbrook some color.

Durant mentioned the high post and set up a pick-and-roll for Westbrook. People remembered the same tactic a few minutes ago, Westbrook directly hit the basket and was defended by Yiyang.

But this time, Westbrook didn't attack the frame himself after breaking through with a pick-and-roll, but passed the ball to Durant, who went down.

The aging Peja is naturally unable to compete with Durant in terms of speed now, and Durant easily shook off Peja after receiving the basketball and went straight to the basket.

At this point, Nowitzki was knocked out of the three-second zone by Ibakara, and Chandler was stuck behind Perkins again. Durant stretched out his long arms, lifted the basketball high, and leaped hard.

Although this tall guy with long arms looks thin, the moment he dunks, he is still full of power! An explosive tomahawk-style chopping buckle seemed to wake up the young thunder entirely.

The Thunder finally responded, and they managed to stop the bleeding. I hope Durant's dunk can bring the young people of the Thunder back to their senses! The Mavericks tried to take the game away, but Durant wouldn't agree! ”

Although on the Thunder team, Westbrook has always been a talking point. But in reality, Durant is the real leader.

Brooks smiled happily off the court, not because of Durant's dunk, but because Westbrook finally calmed down.

Then the Mavericks attacked, and Westbrook did a very good job of sticking to Yiyang, not giving Yiyang any space to shoot. The Mavericks passed the ball many times and ultimately didn't find a chance.

In the end, Peja barely made a shot before the end of the 24-second offensive time. Naturally, the basketball missed. The Thunder finally managed to contain the Mavericks' offensive momentum, and Westbrook received a pass from Ibaka and pushed at full speed. But outside the three-point line, the No. 0 stopped his tracks. He didn't act recklessly, but waited for his teammates to get in place!

"Westbrook seems to know what he has to do, and instead of continuing to fight with Yi, he wants to tie the whole team together."

Kenny. As soon as Smith finished speaking, Westbrook passed the ball. The target is still Durant, who has just shaken off a sluggish Peja with a reverse run and cut along the baseline towards the basket.

Seeing this, Chandler hurriedly blocked and guarded under the basket. If Durant dares to rush to the basket, he will definitely make the other side look good.

However, Durant is not the kind of forward that James survives on impact. I saw Durant suddenly throw a shot when he was close to the three-second zone, Durant's soft touch and his enviable long arms made Chandler unreachable for this throw.

Chandler jumped with all his might, but his fingertips were still a certain distance from the basketball. Basketball has crossed Chandler's equivalent of crossing the Mavericks' last barrier.

The Thunder scored two more points, and Brooks even felt the situation had stabilized. At this time, Nowitzki stepped up.

"Hit me more balls later!" The German walked up to Yiyang, dropped such a sentence, and then ran towards the front. Dirk knew it was time for him to step up!

"The Mavericks' offensive climax was interrupted by Durant, and they had to keep scoring on the offensive end if they wanted to keep their advantage! Let's see what kind of performance will be given to you this time! "Kenny. Smith's eyes are full of anticipation, Yiyang has brought too many surprises to the fans today and whetted everyone's appetite.

Although Nowitzki instructed Yiyang to pass the ball to him, Yiyang did not stupidly hoist the ball to Dirk as soon as he reached the three-point line. Instead, he beckoned Chandler to cover for himself.

"The King of Fighters" obediently raised his position, and Yiyang also took advantage of the cover of this "wall" to break through to the three-second zone. At the same time, Chandler quickly descended, and Perkins immediately became nervous. Yiyang and Chandler have completed countless aerial relays in this situation, and he doesn't want to be the background for the two to complete another aerial cooperation.

Sure enough, Yiyang, who had broken through halfway, suddenly passed the ball, which made Perkins break out in a cold sweat! He hurriedly stealthily grabbed Chandler's jersey and tried not to let the guy jump easily.

However, Chandler didn't bother with the basketball. The basketball passed over Chandler's head, and "The King of Fighters" didn't have any intention of catching the ball at all.

"Did you make a mistake?"

Even Kenny. Smith thought it was Chandler and Yiyang who didn't cooperate well, resulting in the failure of the air relay.

However, Chandler suddenly stopped, sideways in one gear, and a no-ball cover! Congolese Serge Ibaka was delayed again, and the basketball fell to Nowitzki in the middle distance.

The German did not hesitate and immediately took a shot after receiving the ball. Unmarked, the basketball hit steadily without the slightest mistake.

Nowitzki smiled slightly after the goal, he knew that Yiyang's ball would definitely be able to find himself!

"The Mavericks' tactics were very clear, and everybody was doing their job. Peja and Terry opened up space for the trio, and Chandler drew the defense and Dirk finished offensively. Everyone is well aware of their role, and they all do their job well. As for the Thunder, their offense still relies more on the individual abilities of Durant and Westbrook. I guess that's the difference between a young team and a mature team. "It's just a simple mid-range shot, but it makes Kenny. Smith watched with relish.

Nowitzki's mid-range shot didn't go unnoticed, as this guy has always done. What people want to see more is how the Thunder Twins will turn the tide of the war with their explosions. But just over ten seconds later, the Germans scored again.

This time, Yiyang did not want to block and dismantle, but honestly hoisted the ball to Nowitzki, who was going to be in the position.

But due to Ibaka's tough defense, Nowitzki was still a little far from the basket at this time and was not in the most ideal offensive position.

So, Nowitzki, who was holding the ball with his back, made another pass and returned the ball to Yiyang, who cut in.

Yiyang is like a high-speed train, and he can't help but say that he will kill the Thunder team in the restricted area. Although he is thin, he doesn't seem to be afraid of the inside line of the strong man Rulin at all.

Westbrook and Perkins were eager to give the Chinese a big hot pot. Westbrook, in particular, is still haunted by the goal that Yiyang had just blocked him head-on.

However, after Yiyang plunged into the pile, he did not jump to attack the frame, but slapped the ball back from his crotch. Nowitzki received the basketball, and under the impact of Yiyang, the German seemed to be forgotten, standing "alone" behind the free throw line.

When he received the basketball, Dirk didn't even have a single defender around! Ibaka secretly screamed in her heart and hurriedly pounced back.

However, this little time was enough for Nowitzki to shoot calmly.

"Understatement is another assist, that kid is amazing! Compared with Westbrook, who has been working hard in the league for three years, it seems to be more mature. ”

Another not-so-good-looking but very practical attack, another goal, another assist from Yiyang. Yiyang is not as showy as other young people, and he likes to show those good-looking moves on the court.

Although Yiyang occasionally has performances like elbow passes, most of the time, this guy does his duty. He is like a part in a precision instrument, which can never go wrong, and will always drive the Mavericks as a "instrument" to continue to run.

It seems that the scene is still uneventful. But in fact, the Mavericks have slowly pushed the young Thunder into the abyss.

Durant and Westbrook are still using their individual abilities to help the team score, but after a long time of work, they find that the difference on the court has not been narrowed, but has been widened.

Yiyang and Nowitzki's precise strikes again and again allowed the Mavericks to "quietly" score a lot of points in a tepid situation.

It looks like the Mavericks' offense is all about simple open shots. However, it was this not-so-good-looking approach that allowed the Mavericks to completely control the pace of the game.

Ibaka was already on the verge of being cast by Nowitzki, and as long as he received a pass from Yiyang, the German would hardly miss. No matter how hard Ibaka tries, he is always greeted by the crisp sound of a basketball entering the net.

This time, Nowitzki got to the outside of the three-point line, and Yiyang still sent the ball to Dirk quickly and accurately.

Nowitzki held the ball and raised his center of gravity, and Ibaka didn't think about it, straightening his long arm and leaping high, ready to block Nowitzki's three-point shot.

However, Dirk picked up Ibaka and then reclaimed the basketball and passed the deceived Congolese.

Ibaka turned sideways in the air and grabbed Dirk to prevent Nowitzki from breaking through with a foul. But sending Nowitzki to the free-throw line isn't much different from giving the Mavericks two points.

Sure enough, Nowitzki hit two of two free throws from the free-throw line. The only thing Ibaka has done is to give Yiyang one less assist.

Under this calm rhythm, the two sides finished the second quarter of the game. Nowitzki shot 8-of-9 from the field and scored 21 points in the half. When this data was hit on the big screen of the TV, almost everyone was taken aback.

Nowitzki has already scored 21 points? That guy doesn't seem to be doing anything else except shooting in the open position, so why did he score 21 points?

That's what makes the Mavericks scary. Yiyang's pass, Chandler's blocking, Peja and Terry's containment...... Without these things, Nowitzki would not have been able to get open shots again and again. Unpretentious, but very functional, that's the Mavericks' style of play.

Can you shoot a team directly by shooting? Maybe Carlisle will tell you in the right words that with the right players, that's not a problem at all!

Durant, who scored 17 points in the half, also performed well, but at the moment it was completely overshadowed by Nowitzki's brilliance.

48-55, the Mavericks scored 35 points in a single quarter with terrifying offensive firepower, leaving the Thunder in the abyss. In the second half of the game, if the Thunder can't sever the connection between Yiyang and Nowitzki, then what awaits them will be a fiasco!

Coach Brooks rejected all the microphones from reporters and walked straight to the players' tunnel. The Dallas Mavericks, as expected, are a terrible opponent.
