Higher, faster, stronger, this is a phrase that almost everyone has heard, a well-known Olympic motto and one of the slogans of the Olympic Movement. But if this sentence is put into the NBA playoffs, Yiyang will definitely not feel any sense of disobedience.

The intensity of the playoffs has changed so much that it is completely beyond Yiyang's own imagination. It's a span that makes the NBA game completely different, and the hard work that Kidd and Carlisle talk about every day is not just a casual statement, but a practice that must be practiced.

For example, the rebounding ball just now, in the regular season, Yiyang only needed a slight jump to take it into his arms. But in the playoffs, unless you fight hard, the basketball won't fly into your hands on its own.

Although Yiyang didn't perform well in two consecutive rounds, he still wanted to thank Aldridge and Gerrard. Wallace, at least these two guys made Yiyang quickly realize what the playoffs were all about.

To do your best, to really do your best. Even if it's just a rebound, you have to do your best to compete.

So when Yiyang attacked with the ball for the second time, his mentality was completely different. He's slowly getting used to the playoff style and continues to shine under it.

This time, Yiyang did not choose to break through on his own, but passed the ball to Marion in the bottom corner.

Marion controlled the ball and ran to the top of the arc, while Yiyang ran through the crowd to the bottom corner.

Today, the old Miller's defense against Yiyang can be described as inseparable. A guy like Miller Sr. is definitely a typical "playoff player". In the regular season, this kind of old guy may be paddling all the way, occasionally breaking out to show that he can still play.

But when it comes to the playoffs, the seasoned veterans are a completely different story. They know they may not be able to fight every 82 regular-season games. But in the playoffs, which are decisive, they have to fight every game.

Therefore, even though it was very difficult, Old Miller still followed Yiyang at any cost.

Marion saw that there was no passing opportunity, so he had to pass the ball to Nowitzki, who was promoted to the high position, and then Nowitzki and Yiyang played a hand-to-hand hand, allowing Yiyang to regain control of the ball.

Yiyang and Dirk's hand-to-hand play was very mature, and Nowitzki also took advantage of the situation after handing the ball to Yiyang, which greatly delayed the defense that Miller Sr. was already a little unable to keep up.

Got rid of the old Miller, Aldridge immediately changed his guard and crossed in front of Yiyang. In the regular season, Yiyang had several heads-up with Aldridge, and Yiyang won more times. But when it comes to the playoffs, Aldridge doesn't want to let the rookie guard get through easily.

Yiyang sank his shoulders, accelerated, and broke through, and Aldridge used his body to carry it to prevent Yiyang from rushing up. It seems that Yiyang's breakthrough is difficult, but in fact, Yiyang's real purpose is not to attack the frame, but just to attract defense.

Just when the Trail Blazers' defense shrank slightly, Yiyang, who was originally staring at the basket, suddenly threw the basketball behind him. Now people will not be surprised to see Yiyang play a pass without looking at people, and it will be surprising if Yiyang does not have a few passes without watching people in a game.

Although the ball was not seen, it was passed very accurately. The height was just right, both to ensure that Miller Sr. couldn't get the ball, and to make sure Nowitzki was comfortable to receive it.

In this way, the Mavericks' classic tactics gave Nowitzki a near-empty opportunity. Although the elder Miller was in front of Nowitzki, he was only 1.88 meters tall and could not have caused any interference to Dirk.

All the Mavericks fans stood up with their arms held high, and the blue sea in the stands seemed to be tumbling. Nowitzki calmly made a move, and the elder Miller only dared to raise his arms and did not dare to pounce forward at all. He knew that with such a close pounce, Nowitzki would definitely take the initiative to find a foul to get him to the free throw line.

It's such a seemingly perfect opportunity, it's such a goal that looks like it's going to be scored. But in the end, the basketball had a close encounter with the basket and did not fall into the net!

"Yi's pass was beautiful, but Dirk didn't take his chance! The Trail Blazers protected the rebound, and it looked like the Mavericks didn't seem to get the feel of the game at the beginning! ”

"Damn, how could it be!?" Nowitzki waved his hand reluctantly as he quickly returned to the defense. Obviously, there is no problem with the feeling when I train these days, but how can it all change as soon as I compete.

Nowitzki didn't have much time to think because the Trail Blazers' counterattack was pushed quickly. Miller Sr. just stepped across the halfway line with a diagonal pass that sent the ball to Steven Gerrard, who was also advancing at high speed. Wallace in his hands.

Wallace received the basket from outside the left three-point line, and instead of stopping, he looked around as he ran to the basket. Leon was three or four paces away from him, and it was impossible for him to catch up. So "Elvis" made up his mind to attack the frame by himself!

In the spring of 1999, after 23 years as an analyst, Brick. Odinger heard that there was a man in Alabama named Gerald. Wallace's guy said he had no impression of the man.

In the summer, he went to the Adidas training camp, and he was as excited as a Bole seeing Maxima, and brought out his dusty high-level vocabulary that he used to analyze young Jordan. "You can run around the court, you can shoot threes, and every round is like the end of the world. In nearly two decades, no high school student has ever felt anything like this. ”

So? "He's one of the greatest potential stocks in the history of high school students!"

and "He's the best combination of athleticism and physique!" Such a label was attached to the young Wallace.

Indeed, once Gerald. Wallace does give that feeling, and his explosive athleticism allows him to usually finish off offenses with blistering runs and groundbreaking dunks on counters.

But after being "pushed by Bynum" in 2009, Wallace's athleticism began to decline year by year.

The current Wallace is not very fast, and the dunk is not as shocking as before. But he still believed that Marion's old fellow couldn't catch up with him.

So, this guy who was looking for a fresh start with the Trail Blazers dribbled the ball twice and took two big strides, intending to dunk and give the Dallas a little color!

This time, Wallace jumped high, as if he had returned to his prime. In the air, the black forward stretched out his body as much as he could, hoping to experience what it was like to ravage the basket.

Take off, glide, and get your hands dirty! Gerrard. Wallace jerked his arm, and Vignari in the stands was ready for the visual impact.

Right here at Gerald. When Wallace was about to dunk the ball into the basket, a black shadow suddenly came from the side and flew the basketball in Wallace's hand to the stands.

"Bang!" The hoop still made a loud noise, but the basketball didn't get into the hoop. The fans in the stands raised their arms and cheered, this amazing hat was truly spectacular!

"This can't be!?" Gerrard. Wallace couldn't believe that Marion could catch up with him, although his athleticism was not as good as before, it was impossible for Marion to run so fast in his thirties.

When Wallace turned his head, he realized he was wrong. It's not Marion who is covering himself, but Yiyang who doesn't know where to kill him!

"Also! Volleyball cap! Oh my God, he flew the basketball fan straight into the stands! It's too fast, it's just too fast! Do you see Charles, this guy is like a lightning bolt that runs through the whole field and rushes to Gerrard at great speed. Wallace around! This isn't the first time I've done a slam dunk, but trust me, it's definitely the best! "Kenny. Smith didn't expect that not long after the game started, the first climax came. Although the Mavericks' offense in the previous two rounds was unsuccessful, this block undoubtedly reminded everyone on the Trail Blazers. The Dallas Mavericks, who are third in the West, are by no means soft persimmons!

Nowitzki rushed up excitedly and pushed Yiyang violently, but Yiyang didn't respond, but his face was full of fierceness. It seems that this successful block also fully stimulates his own adrenaline.

After that, the Trail Blazers sent a sideline ball. But Yiyang's block has mobilized the emotions of his teammates, and under the Mavericks' hard defense, the Trail Blazers' offense still ended in failure.

As a result, the Mavericks got a third chance to attack. The first two offenses, the Mavericks missed. But now that the morale of the whole team is boosting, all the Mavericks players are hoping to break the scoring drought.

Yiyang still planned to organize the attack, and did not want to score by himself. As a starter, he needs to drive the offensive feel of the whole team first.

After Yiyang's organization and the transmission of his teammates, the basketball was finally beaten to Dirk. Nowitzki vs. Aldridge, this is the highlight matchup of this series. In the first few rounds, neither striker could score on the other's heads. This time, Nowitzki is likely to be the first to strike.

As he advanced to near the three-second zone, Nowitzki unleashed his best stand-out step-back jumper. However, after three or four turns in the hoop, the basketball still came out!

"No, Dirk's luck is just too bad. It was supposed to be a goal, but it slid out dramatically. It seems that the defensive intensity of the playoffs has been really high, and so far, the two sides have combined to score a total of one goal. Barkley shook his head in disappointment, but that's what the playoffs are.

The playoffs generally score fewer points per game than in the regular season, which is the result of tight defense.

Nowitzki's side missed again, but Aldridge didn't keep up with Dirk. This time, borrowed Marcus. Camby's off-the-ball block, Aldridge pocketed into the mid-range position to receive the pass and shoot in the open space.

At this distance, Aldridge is nine out of ten. Basketball hollow hit, 4-0!

"It looks like the Trail Blazers have found their way to score, and the Mavericks haven't scored a goal so far. As I said earlier, the Mavericks are always going to have all sorts of problems when they play the playoffs! Barkley began to sharply criticize again, which, in his opinion, was simply normal for the Mavericks in the playoffs.

Seeing Nowitzki's consecutive misses, Carlisle was also a little distressed. Yiyang is feeding Dirk according to the tactics, and Carlisle always likes to feed Dirk's touch first at the beginning. But as it stands, it could be quite dangerous if you continue to feed it.

So Carlisle made a gesture at Yiyang on the sidelines, Yiyang glanced at it, and then continued to control the ball. The meaning of that gesture is to ask Yiyang to score by himself!

Yiyang passed the ball to Stevenson this time, and at the same time, Marion slipped inside the baseline. Stevenson found Marion in the crowd and passed the ball straight to Marion just in time to get to the basket!

"What a risky move! If either Marion or Stevenson doesn't get the timing right, it's very likely to make a mistake! ”

In a cold sweat from the fans, Marion catches the basketball under the basket! But instead of attacking the basket directly, the former All-Star forward threw the ball out of the crowd into the bottom left corner!

Yiyang rushed to the ball and threw it when he caught it! Old Miller, who had already shrunk towards Marion, hurriedly pounced, but Yiyang had already finished his shot.

Major Marshal Stevens in the stands was stunned, and once again saw Yiyang shooting three points on the spot, and he found that the guy's shooting action was more standard, and his shooting speed was much faster. It seems that Yiyang has learned a lot from his group of NBA teammates.

The basketball flew over Miller Sr.'s head to the basket, but he didn't panic because Yiyang was notoriously inaccurate on three-point attempts. In most people's hearts, Yiyang's three-point shot may be better than Rajan. Rondo is better.

However, this is not the case, and at the beginning of the season, Yiyang's three-point shooting rate was indeed not ideal. But after the game entered February, Yiyang's three-point shot began to become more and more accurate. The addition of Peja has made Yiyang's progress in three-point shooting by leaps and bounds. It's just that many people habitually ignore all this.

"Brush!" The Nets finally made white waves, and the Mavericks scored!

"YI~~~~Three~~~~~" The live DJ shouted loudly, and then the fans in the stands gave Yiyang the warmest applause.

When Nowitzki didn't feel good, Yiyang, a rookie, was able to lead the team out of the predicament as a scoring point. And this is also an important reason why Carlisle made Yiyang a starter.

Now, each team has several scoring points or even several stars playing together. If they continue to start with Kidd, the Mavericks' scoring points will become too monotonous. Marion is past his prime, Stevenson and Chandler are more offensive than defensive, and as for Kidd, he is no longer a scorer now.

But the emergence of Yiyang has changed this situation. The Mavericks could have more offensive options, and most importantly, this change of formation had an immediate effect.

"Now you keep attacking!" When Yiyang ran and retreated, Carlisle shouted into the field. Since Yiyang feels good now, let him continue to burn!

Nate. McMillan looked at Yiyang, who quickly retreated and opened his arms, and smiled helplessly. That guy from Cuban is so blessed that he has picked up a treasure.
