In the second quarter of the game, when James saw Yiyang playing again, he was already nervous. He played the entire 12 minutes in the first quarter. But Yiyang is not much better than himself, and the guy played 11 minutes before being replaced.

The only difference is that Yiyang's consumption is not as great as James's, because Yiyang doesn't have to work with Tony. Guys like Aaron and Iguodala fight each other. But even so, where can Yiyang go easily?

Also surprised was Owen, this guy, don't you take a break? He defended himself at the beginning of the first quarter and was entangled by Dellavedova later. But it seems that Yiyang is not tired at all. God knows if this guy has the feeling of "tired".

After James went off the court, Shambaugh replaced him in the third position and played the second position. In other words, the only stable point of attack on the Cavaliers on the court is Irving.

If Owen can't open up the situation with Yiyang's defense, the others continue to do nothing. That David. Blatter must be replaced with James who has not yet rested to continue the Cavaliers' offense!

It has to be said that Carlisle made a ruthless move. But whether this trick can be successful or not depends entirely on whether Yiyang can prevent it. If Owen can open up the situation, then a series of follow-up plans will be in vain.

Irving's defense is really average, but the offense is not so easy to contain. In the regular season, Owen and Yiyang didn't actually play each other well, because Owen also missed a period of injury during the regular season. The occasional data of one or two games does not tell the whole story.

However, Carlisle is confident, after all, a week ago, Stephen Brown, who was known as having no solution to attack. Curry just died under Yiyang's defense.

In the second half of the game, the Cavaliers attacked first. Kelly. Irving reached the finals in his first playoff game, but his performance was much better than people expected. Throughout the playoffs, Irving shot 43.5% from the field and averaged 19 points per game, which can be said to be a very qualified second-in-command.

In Yiyang's view, Owen has super one-on-one singles ability. This guy's ability to combine man and ball, in Yiyang's opinion, few defenders in the league can compare with it.

On the first offense after coming up in the second quarter, Irving decided to hold the ball and play alone. Mozgov stepped forward to cover, Yiyang was very experienced in retreating directly to bypass the block, and sure enough, Owen chose to break through, and Yiyang successfully blocked!

Irving's three-point shooting percentage is certainly not bad, and he can reach a terrifying 45.0% during the playoffs! But thankfully, his desire to shoot three-pointers is not as high as Curry's. If the ball just now was Curry, then Yiyang chose to retreat and would definitely be shot through by the opponent.

Irving is more willing to break through than a three-pointer. In the past few days, the game video and data analysis have made Yiyang already know "Uncle Drew" well.

Seeing that Yiyang was blocked, Owen did not stop, but coherently used the crossover and continued to break through!

Yiyang had to admit that Owen's feints were very realistic, and at that moment, he had lost his center of gravity. Fortunately, Yiyang immediately adjusted and quickly pasted Owen as he passed him.

Yiyang stuck to the side, and his hand kept pulling out the ball, disrupting Owen's dribbling rhythm. Irving didn't go any further because Gobert was already waiting under the basket with his teeth open.

Secretly pushed Yiyang, and Owen took a step back and made a jump shot.

But Yiyang's enthusiasm obviously exceeded Owen's expectations, and he posted it almost without giving an inch, and Owen was seriously disturbed, and he hit the iron in the middle of the shot!

"It's like it's stuck to Owen."

"This is a master-level defense, if it were someone else, maybe it would have been dizzy!"

ESPN's two commentators praised Yiyang's defense, and there was really nothing wrong with Irving's offense just now. The only problem is that his opponent is called Yiyang.

Seeing that Owen was locked up as soon as he came on the court, James was a little anxious. If the Cavaliers don't continue to score, the Mavericks could easily pull away. After all, defense is not the Cavaliers' forte.

Sure enough, James had just finished thinking about it, and Yiyang assisted Gobert to stage a wonderful aerial relay.

Faced with Mozgov's sluggish footsteps, Gobert cut in quickly after taking cover, and shook off the Russians in two big steps. After that, Yiyang had to do something simple, he just had to throw the ball into the air at will. You'll never have to worry that Gobert won't get the ball.

To some extent, the defense of the Cavaliers' lineup is not as good as the Warriors' death five.

The Cavaliers continued to fight back, and off the court James was already fidgeting. This time, Irving broke through and Smith held it.

But Tony. Aaron quickly made up for it, which was equivalent to another shot in the interference. The basketball slammed into the front of the basket and bounced high. After the second fall, it bounced to the right side of the basket and missed!

Very annoyed, why is it always so much worse!

After grabbing the rebound, Yiyang did not attack quickly, but slowly walked through the half court and raised his hand to organize. Now the Mavericks are not in a hurry, it is the Cavaliers who should be in a hurry.

The Mavericks continue to play pick-and-roll offense because it's a weakness in Irving's defense. To be exact, the shortcomings of the entire Cavaliers team.

The indecisive change of defense and lack of experience made the Cavaliers' ability to defend against pick-and-rolls very poor.

This time, Yiyang broke through to the side of Dirk's cover, but in the end, he changed direction with a large arc of hands and passed through the deceived Owen.

Owen couldn't judge these fake cover tricks at all.

After Yiyang broke through, he still hit a basket under the interference of Mozgov. To be honest, Mozgov's strength seems to be a bit inappropriate when the Cavaliers play the starter. His ability to protect the frame is completely not up to the level of the finals.

With a four-point lead, Yiyang retreated and looked at James who was sitting on the bench. If you don't play, the Cavaliers will be in crisis.

Owen also wants to share the pressure on James, but when Yiyang is so engrossed in locking up someone, even Owen has a hard time making a difference.

This time, Owen used cover and shaking to finally get past Yiyang! Mike. Brin opened his mouth wide, it seemed that this was the first time since the start of the playoffs that someone could rely on simple shaking to deceive Yiyang. From this point, you can see how terrible Owen's ability is in this regard!

It's a pity that the Mavericks' players not only have strong individual defense ability, but also strong help defense ability. Gobert threw his arms up at Owen, who saw the situation and passed the ball to Mozgov, who was dropped by Gobert!

Mozgov was about to dunk with both hands, but Gobert turned around and jumped, stunned and slapped the basketball in the hands of the Russians away!

"With a keen sense of smell, Rudy is always able to defend in the three-second zone!"

In addition to Gobert's own excellent defense, Mozgov's mediocre ability was also one of the reasons why he could not score. If he had changed Green, he wouldn't have made Gobert a foul and a ghost.

Wade received the basketball and immediately sent the ball to Yiyang, who was running at the front, with a diagonal pass that hit the ground.

Yiyang leaned on Owen and burst to the 45° angle of the right mid-range, where Yiyang suddenly made a sharp stop, and then raised the basketball with one hand and stretched out his arm.

"Air Relay!?" Owen subconsciously took a step back and raised his hand. But nothing happened, Yiyang's fingers that grabbed the ball with one hand never relaxed, it was just a fake throwing action!

Retracting his arm, the basketball was still firmly "glued" to Yiyang's hand, but Owen had been tricked into losing his best defensive position. Yiyang easily made a shot, and Irving was completely toyed with by Yiyang on the defensive end.

"A fake pass with one hand to catch the ball! Gentlemen, is it my delusion!? In Yi, I seemed to see Michael. Jordan's Shadow! "Mike. Brin couldn't believe that Yiyang really had a bit of Jordan's charm just now.

Back then, Jordan also relied on various fake passes after grabbing the ball with one hand, and the opponent couldn't find the north. Yiyang actually didn't deliberately imitate, but sometimes, great players are always very similar.

The Mavericks scored six straight points, but the Cavaliers were still slow to open the scoring drought. Owen has to face not only Yiyang, but a whole Maverick system. Because the current knights, and Shambaugh, don't seem to feel good. Tristan. Thompson and Mozgov's two interior scoring methods are limited to "eating cakes" and "picking up leaks", so the Mavericks are staring at Irving with all their might, which is equivalent to staring at the Cavaliers' offense.

"David, I'm playing!" James shouted, not waiting for David. Brazza nodded, and he stood up on his own.

In James' team, the coach is often not the supreme commander who controls everything, James is.

Although Yiyang is also a leader-type player, he will not contradict Carlisle, let alone deny Carlisle's arrangement. Even if Carlisle arranges for some "weird" people to shoot the lore ball, Yiyang will not have an opinion. Unless, Carlisle's arrangement is very stupid in Yiyang's eyes. Of course, this never happened.

But James is different, as early as before he left the Cavaliers, James had more than one "overstepping" behavior.

And in the Western Conference semifinals this season, in the fourth game, James directly wiped Blatter's tactics at the last moment of the game, and then told everyone: Just give me the ball.

So, James killed the Bulls in that game. And David. Blatter became the laughing stock of the media.

It seems that James still does not intend to give Blatter, the "rookie coach", any face. Before Blatter could react, James had already gone to the technical desk to prepare.

Blatter's face turned red and purple, and the coach, who had achieved great success in Europe, felt like his lungs were about to be blown up!

Seeing James preparing at the technical table, Carlisle clapped his hands and winked at Iguodala. Iguodala stepped up to the court and also took off his training uniform.

When James saw Iguodala approaching, he couldn't help but bow his proud head slightly. What's the situation? Tony. Aaron had only been playing for a few minutes.

"Do you want to replace Tony and increase the offensive firepower? It's true that too much effort has been put into the defensive end. Armstrong didn't understand what Carlisle meant, and uttered his guess.

"No, you go to the sidelines and shout later, let Andre replace Dirk, and we'll play one big and four small!" Carlisle patted his assistant on the shoulder and smiled evilly.

Everything is under the control of Carlisle and Yiyang.
