"It's a foregone conclusion that Tanhuaxiu hit the wall, and many teams have seized Yiyang's weaknesses."

"Experts predict that in the next game, Yi's score will continue to drop to single digits."

"The Bulldogs twins hit the wall, Coach Stevens: There's no such thing as a rookie wall!"

The Mavericks lost the game, which is indeed the most unusual thing that has happened to this team in the past month. But when the Mavericks themselves played well and let the Bucks win in unbelievable fashion, it became clear that no one could blame the team.

But the media that needs to talk about it will not just let go of the Dallas Mavericks, the Mavericks' performance is indeed normal, but there are also abnormal factors in this. This abnormal factor is Yiyang.

In the face of a defender like Jennings, who is obsessed with offense but not very focused on defense, people expected Yiyang to play a high-scoring performance. But under the bombardment of Jennings in the whole game, Yiyang only scored 11 points. This has undoubtedly become a breakthrough for the media to find topics.

So this morning, people came together, and the Internet and newspapers were full of news about Yiyang's "hitting the wall". The last time he played the Nets, Yiyang was beaten by Delong, and this remark was also opposed by many people.

But this time in the face of Jennings, Yiyang's performance continued to decline, which made many people begin to pay attention to the term rookie wall.

Not only Yiyang, but with Yiyang's "east wind", Hayward, who has not performed well recently, has also been pulled in. The Bulldog Gemini both hit the wall, and the former genius was reduced to mediocrity. You see, what a good topic, what good news.

While the news is already well-known in Dallas, no one within the Mavericks will talk about it.

Yiyang is just a rookie, but because of the color of his skin and the reason he plays for a team that has the strength to compete for the championship, he plays under the spotlight and magnifying glass every game. A rookie shouldn't have to take on so many things, so Yiyang's teammates didn't want to put too much pressure on him.

But Yiyang, who has never talked much, also made his teammates a little puzzled, is this kid upset now, or does he not care? No one knows what this guy who is not good at expressing emotions thinks now, and Yiyang will definitely not take the initiative to talk to others.

Therefore, Terry only used a joke to help Yiyang decompress, while the others did not say a word about it.

However, Carlisle is fortunate that Yiyang's performance on the training ground is very solid and does not seem to be affected by the outside world.

Although Yiyang doesn't say much, he won't show his emotions, but this doesn't mean that he is a stone. This guy is human, a man of flesh and blood.

The doubts of the outside world, of course, Yiyang can't not react at all. It's just that this guy's reaction is not to be under pressure, not to play abnormally. He's working hard, and this energy will all be unleashed in the next game!

"Hey, boy, relax, this game is fine, the opponent's attack point is very limited, this will be the beginning of another series of wins, we will let the winning streak continue!" On the basketball court, Nowitzki stood behind Yiyang and pinched the rookie's shoulder.

Nowitzki, of course, didn't want to give Yiyang a massage, he just wanted to relax Yiyang in this way. If it was himself when he was a rookie, the German would have been quite nervous now. After all, everyone is watching you perform tonight.

"I'm not nervous about Dirk, I've worried you guys these days." Yiyang squeezed out a smile at Nowitzki, he knew that if he didn't smile, this group of guys would always be suspicious.

Although everyone didn't say it, Yiyang knew that his teammates cared about him at any time.

By this time, the time has come to December 15, and two days after the loss to the Bucks, another matchup will be played on the Mavericks' home court.

This time, the Mavericks' opponent is not a fish-belly team, but the Portland Trail Blazers, who have a 12-13 record at this time.

While in the Trail Blazers star of hope Greg . Oden has been buried by injury and has fallen quickly, although Roy "Yellow Mamba" has returned from injury and is no longer as brave as he once was. But even so, this team from the City of Roses is no slouch.

LaMarcus. Aldridge, Wesley. Matthews, Nicholas. Batum ...... These names still make the pioneers full of dangers. The Mavericks are far ahead of the Trail Blazers in terms of record, but if the record is everything, then the league can now award the O'Brien Cup to the Mavericks.

Basketball is based on games, not history.

"It's good not to be nervous, hehe. I didn't come across any rookie walls in my rookie season, and these things were just stuff that the so-called experts made out of nothing. Nowitzki said, picking up the basketball and starting to shoot to warm up. It can be seen that the German seems to be in a good mood, after all, he knows very well how important Yiyang's normal condition is to the team.

Nowitzki was talking to Yiyang here, and on the other side of the court, a big man with an equally gentle personality had already eyed Dirk.

"The previous two games allowed the Trail Blazers to swallow two consecutive defeats. And with both losses, the Trail Blazers were limited to under 80 points. What do you think caused two such similar failures? "On the commentary bench, Kenny. Smith had already chatted with Barkley. During the pre-match preparations, these two living treasures undoubtedly became the protagonists in front of the TV.

"There's no doubt that the Trail Blazers' star slump for two games in a row was the reason for their loss. In two games, Aldridge scored 17 points in one game and 13 points in one game. It's not a low score, but for a guy who is positioned as a star, such a performance is obviously unqualified. Whether LaMarcus can get out of the slump in this game will be the key to whether the Trail Blazers can end their losing streak! Of course, against Dirk, I don't think LaMarcus will have an easy day today. "Charles. Barkley took a serious look at the Trail Blazers' two-game losing streak, and if Aldridge could hear Barkley speak, he would have agreed with Barkley's statement.

Indeed, Aldridge's performance in the first two games was just too bad. Yiyang is not the only player in the league who has been questioned, and Aldridge has recently been pushed to the forefront due to the team's poor performance in the first two games.

Yiyang wants to prove himself through this match, why not Aldridge? That low-key big man, like Yiyang, likes to bury his emotions in his heart, hold his breath, and then completely release it in the way of basketball!

Defeating Nowitzki and leading the Trail Blazers to victory was undoubtedly Aldridge's best chance to prove himself.

"Hey, see LaMarcus today? Later, you feed him more and let him get as many opportunities as possible to play in the low post! "Seeing Aldridge's performance in the shooting warm-up, Trail Blazers coach Nate . McMillan is the team's veteran point guard Andre. Miller pulled to his side and whispered.

Miller nodded thoughtfully, feeding Aldridge the ball is not a difficult task. The only thing that worries Miller Sr. today is not Kidd, not Aldridge's state, but the same taciturn No. 1 rookie on the other side!

There were more and more fans in the stands, and the cheers of the scene gradually became louder. And this game, which both sides did not want to lose, officially began under the referee's whistle.

Although Yiyang is sitting on the bench, the on-site camera will always give him close-ups from time to time. As soon as the Yiyang lens was given, the commentators would unconsciously talk about the rookie wall.

On the pitch, both sides had a low shooting percentage, as neither team was the kind of team that would abandon their defence at will.

When the game went on in the fifth minute, Kidd was again on the back of Andre. Miller's seasoned defense after shooting iron. Nate. McMillan called a timeout, and everyone knew he wanted to add to the attacking points on the pitch by bringing on Frenchman Batum to replace Roy, who had been missing a shot for a long time.

On the Mavericks' side, Carlisle has the same plan. Yiyang and Terry came on to replace Kidd and Stevenson respectively.

Watching Stevenson go off the field, Nate. McMillan is a sight to behold. The fierce general who was able to defend James in the first place, gave Wesley. Matthews is in huge trouble. Now that Stevenson has become Terry, Matthews will naturally have more scoring opportunities as well.

If Matthews can hit a shot or two from the outside, the Mavericks' defense is bound to spread out. Once the defense is dispersed, Aldridge will have space to play in the low post!

It seemed that everything was going in a good direction, but McMillan didn't seem to think that the scouting show would also be a big threat to his Trail Blazers.

The game restarted with changes to the line-up on both sides and it was clear that they were stepping up their attacks.

Trail Blazers starting point guard Andre. Miller came to Yiyang with an experienced dribble, don't look at this guy has no range, he doesn't run fast and he is 34 years old. But he has always been able to help the team with his brilliant mind and rich experience, and if you don't say it, you probably don't know that this harmless-looking old guy still averages 12.1 points per game!

Yiyang has set up a defensive posture, and as a rookie, he has no reason or qualification to underestimate anyone.

Miller Sr. was a little surprised, after all, in this day and age, most young defenders are strong in attack and weak in defense. And a young point guard like Yiyang who is willing to work hard to do a good job of defense is indeed very rare.

Miller waited for his teammates to run when Wesley. When Matthews got to the left corner, Miller Sr. didn't hesitate and passed the ball immediately!

The strong and tall Matthews faced Terry, who was suffering from height, and the Trail Blazers' No. 2 position did not hesitate. Stevenson has been restricted for so long, he can't wait to score.

So Matthews, who received the basketball, made a decisive shot, and Terry didn't expect the opponent to be so bold, so the interference was slower. However, this delay was enough for Matthews to complete the shot.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people on the scene, the basketball flew into the frame accurately and crashed into the net. Wesley. Matthews hit a three-pointer, and this three-pointer also allowed the Trail Blazers to successfully overtake the Mavericks by two points.

After the goal was scored, Nate. McMillan swung his fist hard, and the Trail Blazers' offense finally turned on!

But the black coach didn't know that the bigger trouble was already quietly pressing on his team with possession.
