Chapter 150: When Happiness Hits Your Face
Curry gasped, sweat dropping large on his forehead. The shouts from the stands at the center of the American route made the baby-faced guard a little upset. Cuban's dancing with fat all over his body made Curry feel even more spicy. Everything is so irritating, and Dallas is perhaps the most unpleasant away game Curry has played this season.
Dribbling past half court, Curry glanced up. The number one defender is already waiting for himself to "throw himself into his arms" with open arms, although the Chinese is not as strong as Westbrook and not as impactful as him. But playing with him, Curry felt even more tired.
Concentrate on it, play against Yiyang, you have to give your full attention throughout the game. Whether it's offensive or defensive, as long as one is not careful, Yiyang will make you look good. For example, right now, Curry just has to tense his nerves just by dribbling, otherwise that No. 1 fast hand is likely to make you immediately make a mistake.
"Stephen, ball!" That damn voice reappeared, Monta. Ellis, this guy doesn't seem to be able to coexist with himself at all. No, no, if any defender can coexist with him, it would be hell. Shots, possession, Ellis will dominate both.
Curry was reluctant in every way, but Ellis always entered the league years before himself, and he was also a participant in the Warriors' Black Eight Mavericks. In terms of seniority, Curry is indeed behind Ellis. So sometimes, he had to listen to that skinny guy. Tensions erupt in the locker room, and it's not good for everyone.
"Stephen!" Ellis shouted again and raised his hand. Curry was about to pass the ball, but Yiyang raised his arms and sealed it. This time, Curry had to temporarily stop the passing action, and he didn't want to make such a low-level mistake as passing the ball away.
"Fuck, fuck!" Seeing that Curry's ball hadn't come out yet, Ellis was even more unhappy. The guy simply put the tactics behind him, left his established position, and leaned towards Curry.
The position of the offensive core is messed up, and the rest of the Warriors naturally can't continue to execute the tactics. Seeing this, Keith. Smart didn't even bother to scold. Monta. When will Ellis grow up and when will the Warriors really rise again.
Curry struggled to pass the ball under Yiyang's entanglement, and Ellis, who received the basketball, walked around the outside unhurriedly and gestured. This guy is going to pull away from the singles!
"Watch the bottom corner! Watch the bottom corners! Nowitzki commanded the defense from the high post, but in Yiyang's opinion, Monta's obsessive eyes staring at the basket probably wouldn't pass the ball anymore.
The man who defends Monta is Terry, the best sixth man of the Mavericks, Terry has a lot of experience, but he still suffers a lot in one-on-one defense due to his declining physical condition.
No pick-and-roll, no coordination. Seeing that the space has been pulled apart, Monta. Ellis began to dribble alternately with his left and right hands, his center of gravity swaying from side to side, and Terry couldn't guess which direction the skinny was going to thrust into.
In the next second, Ellis suddenly activated! He first stabbed to Terry's left hand side at a very fast speed, Terry dragged a heavy step sideways, but before he could completely block it, Ellis, who had broken through to the left, turned around with Terry as the axis and turned to the right!
Ellis's breakthrough was very beautiful, which made Yiyang and the commentators in the commentary seat have to admire. But breakthrough is not everything in basketball.
Ellis hit the basket directly, the Frenchman Petro reacted half a beat slower, and Nowitzki was beaten by David again. Lee pulled up to the top of the list. It seems that Monta finally has a chance to make a comeback.
"Ellis!" Just as Monta was about to "spread his wings" and dunk, in the bottom right corner, Curry shouted!
Curry saw that the No. 1 who was originally opposite him began to run to the basket at lightning speed! There is no doubt that Yiyang went to Monta.
Monta ignored Curry's shouts, the basket was the guy's only yearning at this time. He pressed himself with one foot and made himself leap high. Gripping the basketball tightly with his right hand and exerting his arm hard, he tried to vent all the humiliation he had received through this basket!
At this time, Monta saw that the damn No. 1 guard actually dropped Curry and jumped towards him. If he chooses to split the ball, then Curry will get an open three-point shot. With Curry's nearly 45 percent three-point shooting, this is indeed the best option.
But Ellis won't do that, how can he give the two points he gets to someone else?
"Boom!" Ellis dunked hard, and the basket was jerked by the emaciated guard, falling several centimeters!
The audience exclaimed, Monta. Ellis did dunk hard, but the score on the big screen did not change.
Because before Ellis's hand smashed into the basket, the basketball had already been driven from the side by Yiyang, who was smashing while playing volleyball, and fanned it without leaving back!
"Volleyball! He also managed to stop Ellis's attack, and Ellis was telling the referee about the ball, but the referee thought it was a good shot! "Accompanied by Mike. Brin's passionate interpretation, the fans also came to their senses, ready to shout for their flower show.
Cuban was about to raise his arms and cheer, only to find the basketball rapidly approaching him! The power of Yiyang's cap is too great, and the flying speed of this basketball is very fast. When it was almost time for the basketball to smash into Cuban, Cuban didn't even have time to react to block it with his hands.
"Smack!" The basketball that was flown out by Yiyang Fan hit Cuban's face solidly, and Cuban, who had just raised his arms, was smashed back, and his eyes suddenly burst into stars.
"Oh, the basketball flew out of bounds and hit Mavericks owner Cuban, who was watching from the sidelines. Hahahaha, it seems that it is time to be nervous about this beautiful block. "Mike. Brin didn't expect such a dramatic scene to happen, and the tense atmosphere of the game instantly eased.
Cuban was helped up by many fans, and the fat boss wearing the Mavericks short-sleeved T-shirt was directly smashed in the nose. It was Carlisle on the bench who hurriedly handed over a towel to allow Cuban to stop the bleeding in time.
Seeing Yiyang's somewhat overwhelmed expression, Cuban couldn't help but smile and gave a thumbs up to that Tanhuaxiu.
This guy was hit hard by happiness.
Rather than the pain in his nose and the comical replays on the big screen, Cuban appreciates Yiyang's earth-shattering slam dunk more. Carlisle also praised Yiyang's aggressive defense, and in Chandler's absence, Yiyang made a cameo appearance as the patron saint of the basket.
This block undoubtedly had a great impact on the morale of the Warriors. It can be said that there is basically no suspense in the game.
Because at this time, the Warriors still trailed the Mavericks by 12 points, and the failed offense just now occurred in the final 1 minute and 28 seconds of the fourth quarter.
If that goal were to close the gap to 10 points for the Warriors, the Warriors players would be in a very different state mentally. It is not entirely impossible to chase ten points in a minute and a half.
But now, with the defeat of Ellis and the success of Yiyang's blocked dunk, everything has changed. The Warriors are likely to fall behind even more, and the confidence of their players has been shattered by Yiyang in one fell swoop
Sure enough, the Warriors then seemed to give up on resistance. Everyone is disappointed, except for Ellis himself, the guy continues to play endlessly, desperate to get face back. But he didn't know that he had lost face today.
With the sound of Ellis's ultra-long-distance three-point shot, the red light on the rebound was officially lit. The basketball slammed into the hoop and seemed to have smashed Curry and others' patience with Ellis.
93-105, the Golden State Warriors who once completed the Black Eight Miracle in Dallas. Today, with a 12-point difference, it defeated Texas!
Cuban stuffed a large cotton ball from the Mavericks team doctor in his nose, but that still didn't stop the owner from partying with the fans.
Damn Golden State Warriors, in the most humiliating way, surrendered in front of the Dallas Mavericks! This is undoubtedly the favorite scene for all Mavericks fans.
After the game, Curry and Yiyang glanced at each other. But the two didn't say anything, just Mougins, who was filming off the field, was thinking, maybe the war between these two young defenders would become the main theme of the league in the future?
Cuban excitedly ran onto the court and hugged the players one by one. Yiyang and Curry just turned around after looking at each other, and they couldn't escape Kuban's "claws".
"You're acting so impatient, boy! If you could do that every time, I'd be hit in the head with a basketball every time! Cuban's passion for basketball and his still bleeding nose made Yiyang laugh awkwardly. He was still feeling sorry for Kuban's nose, but as everyone knows, Kuban only had a violent sense of happiness in his heart.
"Rick, how many points did this kid score today?" After Cuban and Yiyang embraced, he turned around and asked Carlisle Yiyang about today's data.
"20 points, 8 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, second only to Dirk in team scoring." Carlisle took the technical statistics from his assistant and proudly read them out in front of his boss.
You know, Curry, who played an explosive performance in the last game, only scored 21 points today, and his efficiency plummeted. Ellis took 22 shots and scored only 17 points.
It can be said that Yiyang's performance is to completely suppress the Warriors' backcourt!
"Guys, I'm in for dinner today. Congratulations, you've won 10 in a row! Cuban waved his hand, and in a good mood, he decided to have a happy night with his players.
Although Yiyang didn't yell with the others, he also showed a happy smile.
The good team atmosphere of the Dallas Mavericks has quietly seeped into the boy from Wood District......
