『Chapter error, click here to report』

Cal. Landry is aggressively holding the position on the inside, and Cardinal simply can't compete with the Rockets veteran in terms of power.

In order to prevent Landry from continuing to press back, Cardinal also used the desperate defensive style of top defense. But Landry wasn't going to be restrained like that, and he suddenly gave up his position and ran into the middle distance.

As soon as he was in position, Kings backup guard Luke Brown. Hyde sent the basketball. Landry catches the ball and shoots, and the power forward's high shooting percentage in the mid-range has been one of his killer features.

The basketball grazed the net and crashed into the basket, and at the same time, the red light on the rebound suddenly lit up. At the end of the first quarter, Landry threw in a whistle shot. The entire Sleeping Train Arena is surrounded by the shouts of the fans, and the hustle and bustle here does not match the word "sleeping" at all.

The score on the big screen became a reason for the Sacramentos to cheer, 20-28, the Kings, who have only won 12 games so far this season, are 8 points ahead of the Mavericks, who have just completed a nine-game winning streak! It's not just the score, but from the perspective of the court, the Kings do have the advantage.

Although Yiyang's efforts gave the Mavericks hope of reversing the score for a while, when he was out of the game, the Mavericks suddenly didn't even have the strength to fight back.

Carlisle frowned and sat in front of the players with a small bench, looking at this strong man who was sweating profusely and panting, Carlisle also had a headache.

"The Kings have a very aggressive style of play, and Cousins and Evans are the kind of players who like to look for physical matchups. It seems that the Mavericks are a little overwhelmed. On the commentary bench, Van Gundy also felt that the score was a bit incredible.

"The Mavericks' age structure is still a bit older, and I think Coach Carlisle should increase his playing time appropriately. Only when he's on the field won't the Mavericks' offense be a mess. "Mike. Brin also gave his opinion.

Carlisle on the pitch naturally couldn't hear the voices of the two senior commentators, but as a manager, Carlisle also knows what he needs to do now.

"Also, I'll let you play a little longer in the second quarter, can you?" Carlisle took a look around, and Yiyang was the most relaxed of all the players who were on the field right now. This guy is still young, and the physical problem should not be too big.

"Yes, you can." Yiyang replied simply, and then nodded slightly.

"Excellent! I need you to use the breakaway to make Cousins fouls and use the fouls to limit his hands and feet, just like you did in the first quarter. If he moves too much, you have to tell the referee, don't keep it in your heart, okay? Carlisle put all his focus on Yiyang, and he knew that if the Mavericks wanted to get out of Sacramento alive today, Yiyang would be the most important part!

On the other side, on the Kings bench, Cousins was ready to go on the court and continue to kill. After the first quarter of the game, Cousins is now also confident. If it was a full-fledged "boxing champion" guarding the inside, maybe Cousins wouldn't be so easy. But alas, Chandler's fitness today also held him back, giving Cousins a chance.

And just like that, under the screams of the Kings fans and Carlisle's nervousness, the electronic beep rang out again. The Mavericks will begin their second quarter with an eight-point deficit.

A panting Kidd didn't start the second quarter again, and Yiyang returned to the No. 1 position, which Carlisle hoped would allow Yiyang to avoid Evans' tough defense.

However, when Yiyang, who advanced with the ball, stepped into the halfcourt, Evans, who performed well in the first quarter, still spread his arms in front of the No. 1 guard!

"Coach Westawild continues to use Evans to defend, and it looks like he's trying to completely suppress the Mavericks' most efficient point today!"

Yiyang shook his head, it was not a wise plan to fight Evans hard with the ball. He immediately played the ball and made John Terry the point of possession, while he began to look for opportunities by running off the ball.

"Coward!" Cousins smiled disdainfully, that No. 1 guard is a soft egg at all!

Cousins looked down on Yiyang, but Evans, who defended Yiyang, did not dare to slack off. Yiyang's on-ball offense and off-ball offense are equally good, as long as he is a little careless, he will be completely thrown off by the lightning-fast No. 1.

Yiyang was originally inserting diagonally into the penalty area, but as soon as he stepped into the restricted area, he suddenly turned around and went out to the left three-point line.

Evans scrambled to follow, but Nowitzki's cover blocked the rookie of the season in his way. Evans nimbly changed his steps and flashed past the Germans. But as soon as he flashed out, he found that Peja had also set up a block behind Nowitzki!

Two covers in a row allowed Evans to be completely thrown away by Yiyang. As soon as Yiyang reached the three-point line, he received a pass from Terry. The number one defender didn't hesitate, he didn't want to miss this fleeting opportunity.

Yiyang jumped high and raised the basketball above his head. At the same time, Evans, who was chasing Yiyang, and Cosby, who was closest to Yiyang, both pounced. This is Westfaal's arrangement, and all defenses have been "taken care of" by Yiyang.

The blocking of the two people made Yiyang look like there was no room to shoot at all, even if he successfully threw the ball, it was a forced shot, and it was impossible to hit. Westfal was overjoyed that the Mavericks' first offense in the second quarter of the game seemed to have ended in failure.

Just as Cousins was ready to defend the rebound, the orange basketball came out of between the outstretched arms of Cosby and Evans.

The basketball was unbiased and fell precisely into the hands of Peja, who was vacated in the mid-range position. Because of Kasby's help in defending Yiyang, the Croats were completely leaked. And everyone on the Kings team thought that Yiyang would shoot on his own, so they didn't care about Peja.

Just like that, Stojakovic shot in the middle of the range. Indeed, the state of Yiyang's teammates today is indeed not good. But they were able to seize this extremely simple opportunity.

When the sound of the Nets tumbling jumped into Westphal's ears, the veteran coach with a rich resume couldn't help but curse in a low voice. Yiyang's ability is really not so easy to completely strangle him.

"Calm passing, this guy always seems to be able to see all the gaps on the field." Mike. Brin's just thought that Yiyang would shoot by himself, but he didn't expect the ending to be unexpected.

"That's what makes a good point guard, and that's why I'm bullish on this kid!" Jeff. Van Gundy smiled approvingly again.

After switching offense and defense, the Kings naturally wanted to maintain their advantage after being scored a goal. This group of players have won a measly 12 games so far this season, so they won't give up on every possible win. After all, victory is too rare for the Sleeping Train Arena.

Cousins, who came off the court early in the first quarter, was so excited that instead of covering any of his teammates, he wrestled with Chandler near the three-second zone and asked for the ball at Udri.

Udri didn't dare to slack off, and Cousins was one of the Kings' most assured offensive points on the court. As a point guard, he has the responsibility to get the ball to Cousins.

So the white defender hit the ground and played the ball to his center. And after just one pass, the Kings' cooperation was over. Next, it was time for Cousins to play his own singles.

Cousins is indeed strong, but the Kings' tactics are too simple. Carlisle has long been targeted at this.

Cousins took two steps forward and was about to turn around to attack the frame, only to find Chandler and Nowitzki holding himself up with their long arms raised. Nowitzki's well-timed package put Cousins in a tough position, and now the long-standing rookie is now struggling to even pass, let alone score.

In desperation, Cousins rushed the ball. The object of the pass was Evans, who was on the left side.

Evans was ready to catch the ball, and before he could even catch it, he had seen the empty breakaway line behind Peja.

Just as Evans was thinking about how to break through and score points, a dark shadow suddenly popped out.

"Stop him!" The next second, Evans heard Westfal shouting.

"Whoosh!" After that, a gust of wind drifted by. When the black shadow disappeared, the basketball that was close at hand was also gone.

Evans didn't think about it, and immediately turned around and chased back! Sure enough, it's Yiyang!

"The Kings' tactics were too simple and the purpose was too obvious. Yi's prediction was so accurate that he intercepted Cousins' return pass! ”

The camera follows Yiyang's rapid movements, and when the guy runs away on the basketball court, he doesn't let him be shocked.

Evans tried to chase after him, but no matter how hard he tried, he always had a seemingly unreachable distance from Yiyang.

Yiyang did not live up to people's expectations of him, this time, Yiyang used a force to pull out the mountain and the world's back with both hands, and once again wreaked havoc on the basket of the sleeping train arena!

"This guy should really be in the slam dunk contest!"

"Yellow people can fly!"

"He's simply the second Aaron. Iverson! ”

"It's incredible! It's unbelievable! Super slam dunk! From Yiyang ——! ”

??“ This is Yiyang! Great dunk! It also shows us his amazing courage! I wouldn't be surprised if he led the Mavericks to an equalizer! ”

The eyes of the commentators were once again attracted by Yiyang, the protagonist, where he plays, is the protagonist!

After Yiyang successfully dunked, he looked at the big screen at the scene. There are still four points in the difference, and I can't relax yet!

If Cousins had done such a beautiful dunk, he would have raised his head to the sky and roared to set the atmosphere of the scene up. But Yiyang didn't, he didn't even have an expression. The guy just silently ran back, and then spread his long arms.

He wasn't good at words, he couldn't make too drastic movements, and his only thought at the moment was to equalize the damn score!

"A few more handballs! Don't give the opponent such an easy chance to fight back! Westphal's yelling came out on the pitch, and with only four points left, the guy was a little nervous.

Evans listened to the manager's arrangement, but Cousins didn't. This guy is all about Yiyang in his head now, and he doesn't want to be unmoved after the opponent scores such a wonderful goal.

So the scene happened again, and Cousins didn't bother with any tactics and didn't give his teammates any damn cover. He just stood on the edge of the three-second zone, wrestled with Chandler, and then raised his hand for the ball!

Yudri looked at Evans and then at Cousins. In the end, the ball was passed to the more composed Evans.

"Ball!" Cousins let out a roar and Evans used his height to hoist the ball into the box.

"The ball from the Kings is still in the hands of Cousins, let's see how he will deal with the Mavericks' defense this time!"

Cousins knew there was a bag waiting for him in the three-second zone, so he shook his shoulders and went straight to the flip jumper, intending to score in this easy way.

However, even if "The King of Fighters" Tyson suffers from physical conditioning, he won't be so easy to beat. What's more, Chandler also has an advantage in height.

Cousins' turnaround jumper stumbled out of the frame with Chandler's interference, and Nowitzki, who was dragging behind, protected the defensive rebound.

"Tsk." Westphal pouted, sometimes Cousins is a powerful weapon. Sometimes, however, the weapon can hurt the Kings themselves.

Fortunately, the Kings retreated very quickly this time, so they didn't let Yiyang play his best counterattack again.

Evans' posting still made Yiyang very difficult, this time he did not pass the ball, but borrowed Chandler's block to complete the breakthrough.

Cousins didn't pull out with Chandler, but continued to stay under the basket. Seeing Yiyang rushing with the ball, this guy seemed to have fire in his eyes.

Yiyang didn't make a stop-and-go jumper, but directly slammed at Cousins. Yiyang naturally knew that it would be difficult for him to succeed in attacking the frame under Cousins' guard, but he also knew that this short-tempered guy would not let himself down.

Yiyang had just jumped up when Cousins couldn't wait to jump up. In the air, Yiyang deftly dodged Cousins' big hand. And Cousins, whose body is out of control, also collided with Yiyang!

"Doot toot!" The whistle is blowing again!

"Foul!" Yiyang let out a rare shout, it seems that Carlisle's arrangement is firmly in his heart.

“hat!?” Cousins yelled at the referee as well. "Are you blind!?"

The referee ignored the two young men and made a gesture to the technical table on his own.

After seeing this gesture, Cousins went straight away. Westfaal, on the other hand, held his head in his hands.

DeMarcus. Cousins, technical foul!

Yiyang smiled slightly, his temper will not make everyone afraid of you, but will harm yourself......
