Chapter 382: Red Connection

"Dirk. Nowitzki had to go off the court early to accumulate two fouls early, which is not good news for the Mavericks. But we saw that Coach Carlisle did not use Odom, who has recently become sluggish again, but replaced Yi Jianlian, a Chinese player who only completed the convergence with the team this morning. Now, the Mavericks have two Chinese players on the court at the same time. This is the first time in NBA history. ”

Although Yi Jianlian is not a star in the NBA, the lenses of the on-site photographers still gave Yi Jianlian a close-up. For Chinese basketball, two of the five players on the BA team are Chinese. before. This is perhaps something that people can't even think of!

After Yi Jianlian came on the court, he was naturally greeted by overwhelming boos from the North Shore Garden Arena. Yiyang could see that although Yi Jianlian was nothing on the surface, he actually cared about these bad voices. For players like Yi Jianlian, other praise and recognition will make him more confident.

The Celtics restarted, and after Yi Jianlian came on the court, "Wolf King" Garnett immediately leaned on him to ask for the ball from his teammates. There is no doubt that the Celtics are using Yi Jianlian as a weak point on the Mavericks' defensive end.

Although Garnett is 35 years old, he is still better than Yi Jianlian in terms of core strength. I saw that the tough Green Army No. 5 sat back suddenly, and Yi Jianlian was pushed back a big step back. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Garnett turned around and hooked his hands. Garnett, who was just soft in the middle, hooked the basketball firmly into the frame, and on the first ball on the court, Yi Jianlian was beaten a. The big Chinese man shook his head and picked up the basketball on the ground.

"Yi has to adapt to the pace of the NBA as quickly as possible, it's a real regular season, and no one is going to wait for him to be ready to attack."

After Yi Jianlian picked up the basketball, Yiyang came up and prepared to catch the baseline ball. Yiyang wanted to help Yi Jianlian quickly integrate into the game, but he was not good at words. So the No. 1 defender decided to use action to drive Yi Jianlian up.

The Mavericks re-attacked, and Yi Jianlian, as an interior player, did not go to the position, but floated in the mid-range position to find an opportunity. In fact, it is precisely because Yi Jianlian's style of play is too outside, so he will be abandoned by the Wizards and the Nets. Now I see the fierce Garnett and Jermaine. O'Neill, Yi Jianlian doesn't seem to dare to hit the inside again.

Yiyang will make a plan, and raise his hand on the outside line to signal Yi Jianlian to block and dismantle himself. Although Yi Jianlian played with the Mavericks for the first time today, he and Yiyang had the experience of working together in the Asian Championships, so the blocking and dismantling played quite tacitly.

Yi Jianlian hung up Rondo, and Yiyang immediately accelerated into the inner line. Garnett didn't dare to completely leave Yi Jianlian alone, because he knew that this Chinese still had a hand in shooting.

In this way, Garnett gave up his supplementary defense against Yiyang, and Yiyang killed the three-second zone in time for Jermaine. O'Neal made an easy layup before returning to the basket.

At this time in China, I don't know how many fans are raising their arms and cheering wildly in front of the TV or computer. Two Chinese played a beautiful match in the NBA! This kind of scenario is the unrealistic fantasy of many fans. But now, the dream has come true.

The tacit understanding between the two YI, Yi Jianlian's shooting ability made KG dare not easily change defenses, which allowed the extremely fast Yiyang to gain space to break through to the basket. It's a simple goal, but it works. The only downside was that after both of them played at the same time, my tongue was a little knotted. "Mike. Brin humorously made a little joke that if only one Chinese player was present, the commentators would say that YI could refer to Yiyang or Yi Jianlian. But now in order to make the fans distinguish, the commentator must say the full names of Yiyang and Yi Jianlian. For a foreigner, it is indeed difficult for them to keep repeating these two "tongue-twisting" names.

Although it is only a block, he can help his teammates score and integrate into the team's offense, and Yi Jianlian's confidence is still greatly encouraged.

After that, on the defensive end, Garnett did not take advantage of Yi Jianlian again. In terms of strength, Garnett is definitely far above Yi Jianlian. But not every offense, Garnett can easily score on Yi Jianlian's head. One of the reasons why basketball is so attractive is because of its uncertainty. It's not that just because a player is stronger and can score every time.

Seeing that Yi Jianlian didn't give an inch, Garnett had no choice but to play the ball to Rondo to reorganize. However, under the tight defense of the Mavericks, the Green Shirts still didn't get any chances until the end of the 24-second offensive time.

Rondo forced a break, got to the basket and jumped straight to the basket. Yiyang and Heywood jumped up to block, but Rondo calmly distributed the ball to Jermaine, who was left by Heywood, when there was little time left. O'neill!

At this time, O'Neal Jr. was unmarked, and he only needed to jump under the basket and put the ball in the basket to help the Celtics score!

At this time, Yi Jianlian suddenly raised his arms to make up for it! If it were before, O'Neal Jr. could have scored this goal on Yi Jianlian's head in countless ways. But now Little O'Neill obviously no longer has the strength he had back then.

Under the interference of Yi Jianlian, O'Neal Jr.'s forced layup failed to hit. Haywood immediately protected the rebound, and the Mavericks' defense ended perfectly!

"So far, Yi Jianlian's performance has been good. Although he didn't score, he didn't even have any stats on the books. However, his role in the team is already clear. ”

At this time, the first quarter of the game was coming to an end, and the managers of both sides asked the substitutes to go to the technical table to prepare, and it was about to enter the rotation time.

Garnett looked at the score, and the Celtics trailed by seven points. This goal has to be defended no matter what, at least it can get better chances for the substitutes.

Yiyang's possession stopped outside the three-point line, and Rondo's defensive area with his arms outstretched made a hard burst the worst option.

Carter got rid of Pierce and Yiyang immediately hit the ball and then started running for an opportunity himself.

Rondo knew that Yiyang was also a good player when playing without the ball, so he immediately followed, not intending to give Yiyang any space.

Just as Yiyang began to run wildly to the bottom corner of the left, Yi Jianlian suddenly crossed out and blocked Rondo's way!

Seeing this scene, even Carlisle was stunned. Yi Jianlian only joined the team today, and he didn't even know a lot of the team's usual tactics. But the timing of the block just now was so accurate that it seemed that Yi Jianlian knew the team's tactics well.

In fact, Yi Jianlian didn't know how to play this tactic. He only knew that in the Asian Championships, he and Yiyang did just that!

Yi Jianlian's off-ball block stopped Rondo, and this time Kevin. Garnett didn't sit still, he took the initiative to change the defense! A misalignment, and Garnett formed a misplaced confrontation situation! "Mike. Brin looked at the court with interest, Yiyang and Garnett, this is really a unique matchup.

Garnett's limbs were slender, and when he stretched out his arms in front of Yiyang, Yiyang even felt like he couldn't see anything.

"Come on, soft eggs! If there's a kind, let's have something hard! Garnett was defending, but he also didn't forget to spray trash talk at Yiyang. It's just a pity that Yiyang's cold heart doesn't fluctuate at all.

Alternate dribbling under the crotch, and the frequency of the slap is getting faster and faster. The experienced Garnett licked his lips a little nervously, he couldn't guess which way Yiyang would go.

Just when Garnett was still guessing, Yiyang suddenly stabbed at his right hand! Garnett, although not as strong as before, reacted quickly. I saw that the "Wolf King" quickly moved sideways, and a "big wall" appeared in front of Yiyang in an instant.

But Yiyang didn't panic, just when he and Garnett were about to collide, Yiyang knocked the ball behind his back! The back changed hands and changed directions, and Yiyang successfully slid past Garnett like a loach!

With the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, Garnett certainly can't be the Celtics' last line of defense against Yiyang. After breaking through Garnett, Paul. Pierce stood behind Garnett and waited for Yiyang to come up.

It seems that Pierce's defense is doing a perfect job, except that it is almost bad - their opponent is Yiyang.

Facing Pierce, who came to supplement the defense, Yiyang directly turned around like a slight step, allowing him to flash Pierce cleanly. After passing Garnett and Pierce in a row, North Shore Garden fans have their mouths wide open.

"It's too fast!" Pierce gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, the moment Yiyang just turned in front of him, he seemed to have a close contact with lightning.

Take three steps, jump, raise the basketball high, and get ready for the layup, Jermaine. O'Neal was a little late in his defense. When he just started to jump, Yiyang had already soared to the highest point.

In the air, Yiyang did not push the basketball to the basket. Instead, he turned his wrist to his side, and the basketball was immediately transferred!

"The fake and the real pass, Yi's breakthrough caught almost everyone's attention on the Celtics. Yi Jianlian received a basketball in a mid-distance position at a zero degree angle! What will he do!? "Seeing the reconnection between the two Chinese, Mike. Brin held his breath with excitement.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, just like usual, don't be nervous......" Seeing the basketball flying towards him, and seeing Garnett pounce on him with his teeth and claws, Yi Jianlian's heart began to beat again. What was on his mind now was what to do if he wasted an open shot.

However, when Yi Jianlian received the basketball, he suddenly found that all his doubts disappeared. The guy reflexively lifted the basketball and calmly threw it. Yiyang's passing is really comfortable......

Garnett pretended to pounce on Yi Jianlian fiercely, but when he jumped to block, the Chinese wearing the Mavericks' No. 9 jersey had already finished shooting.

At this time, Yi Jianlian seemed to be in the Hermer Arena of the Texas Legends. There are no shouting fans around him, no fierce opponents, no hundreds of millions of eyes in Chinese mainland. The yellow glow from the light bulb turns the hardwood floor into a mirror, reflecting the slight smile of the Chinese.

"The ball is in! Yi Jianlian, he got the first point of his Mavericks career! The cooperation between Yiyang and Yi Jianlian is very tacit, and a red connection made the Celtics pause the game with a 9-point disadvantage! ”

In Mike. Under Bulin's exclamation, Yiyang took the initiative to stretch out his hand and high-five Yi Jianlian after the goal. After working hard in the NBA for so many years, Yi Jianlian finally has a sense of belonging.

Looking at Yiyang and Yi Jianlian who were walking towards the court, Carlisle nodded with satisfaction. Dirk. Nowitzki's substitution problem is perfectly solved.

It's just that Odom is pitied, he abandoned himself and is now abandoned by the world.
