Yiyang's response immediately caused an uproar in the basketball circle. Although Sam. Smith is indeed just a journalist, but he is also a very famous journalist. With the exception of Jordan, few people would have been so tough against him.

In fact, Sam. Smith spoke very sharply indeed. Even Jordan himself couldn't stand it. So now he and Jordan are no longer friends. But it's clear that Sam. Smith now needs another guy like Jordan to add to his career.

"It's good for young people to be motivated, but you can't be blindly confident. If a young lad has no one in his eyes, soon, he will pay the price. I've seen too many guys like this. ”

The next day, Sam. Smith responded to Yiyang on his Twitter. Although he didn't name him, everyone knew that he was responding to Yiyang.

Under this tweet, countless people left messages @Yiyang's Twitter account. These fans, who don't think it's a big deal, naturally want to see a wonderful scolding battle.

However, Yiyang had no intention of replying at all. A few years ago, Yiyang would not respond to any provocations. In the past two years, Yiyang has occasionally replied to some opponents with enough weight, or some guys who are too much.

But Sam. What about Smith? He is neither a basketball player, nor does his words cross Yiyang's bottom line. Therefore, Yiyang didn't bother to pay attention to the grumpy old man at all. There's a lot more to his own business.

He used to be Jordan's royal reporter, he was one of the creators of the league to create Jordan as a star, he used to represent Jordan against all the media around the world, he was really amazing.

But it's all built on a precondition – ever.

Sam. Smith, like Jordan, no longer rules the league. The bloody 90s are long gone, and now the 21st century has entered its second decade.

Sam. Smith says that the guy who has no one in his eyes will soon pay the price, but the people who always live in the past usually don't end much better.

With Sam. Smith's case, the Mavericks are now attracting the attention of thousands of people. Every game for the Mavericks is an important game right now. The outcome of every game will determine the greatest record in NBA history!

Many media outlets have sent reporters to follow the Mavericks. From the players' training to eating, drinking, and even the positions the players use to sleep with their wives tonight, the media is eager to dig it up.

This is the business league, the most high-profile team, and its commercial value is very exaggerated.

For the Mavericks, they don't have time right now to think about how much exposure the 72-win win will give them. Now, they should consider two teams from Los Angeles, the Lakers and the Clippers.

After just one day of rest after the loss to the Warriors, the Mavericks continued their road trip. This time, Yiyang came to the place he was very familiar with, Los Angeles, the "City of Angels".

Five years ago, the picture of meeting Kobe Bryant at Venice Beach Stadium is still vivid, and the Lakers and Kobe Bryant at that time were still the absolute hegemons of the league. At that time, Yiyang didn't expect that he could become a team symbol like Dirk.

Now, five years later, everything is no longer in place. The Los Angeles Lakers have now turned into an out-and-out fish-belly team, and instead of a championship, they should pick Karl Anthony. Downs is still the same D'Angelo who was defeated by Yiyang in the All-Star Game. Russell.

Kobe's re-injury and the sparse Lakers lineup have strengthened the management's determination to swing the mess. Therefore, this game should not cause too much trouble for the Mavericks.

Even so, when Yiyang and his teammates came out, the proud Los Angeles fans let out a "warm" boo in unison.

In the United States, there are two cities where fans hate Yiyang so much. One is San Antonio, and the other is Los Angeles.

From the elimination of the Lakers in 2011 that led to the end of the Lakers dynasty, to the sweeping of the Clippers last season and the departure of Paul with hatred. The Dallas Mavericks have always been a big threat to the Los Angeles team, and Yiyang has also thwarted the Los Angeles fans' dreams of advancing countless times.

Therefore, even if the Lakers are powerless to resist the first place in the league now, the fans here do not want to throw in the towel in terms of momentum.

As a result, you don't have to say. Maybe it was the shouting of the fans that really made a difference, and today, the Los Angeles Lakers played really well.

Jordan. Clarkson's performance as a small defender made Carlisle and Yiyang both shine. In Nick. After Young's injury, Clarkson, who was given more opportunities to perform, shone brightly. Lakers fans even threatened that he is the real future of the Lakers!

A second-round pick averaged 12 points per game in the first season of his career, which is a remarkable achievement. And in the past month, Clarkson's average points per game is an incredible 16.2!

In addition to Clarkson, Boozer and Wesley, who have faded out of sight for a long time. Johnson also put on a good performance.

"I can't believe that after three quarters, the Los Angeles Lakers are still clinging to the score!" Chris on the commentary podium. Webber shook his head, if the Lakers could play like this every game, they wouldn't even be unable to make the playoffs.

"Keep a normal heart, we played well, but the other side just happened to be in good shape! Stabilize the situation, in the last 12 minutes, as long as we hold on, the victory will be ours! "During the break, Carlisle didn't set up too many tactics, but more to relieve the psychology of the players.

Facing a team with a belly in the third quarter, it was a very difficult moment for the Mavericks, who had already experienced two consecutive defeats.

Inside, there is a 72-win record and the pressure of two consecutive defeats, and there is the attention of fans and enemies around the world. At this time, the pressure on everyone on the Mavericks is actually not small. What Carlisle has to do is channel that pressure.

If they lose again, the Mavericks, who have lost confidence, are likely to continue to lose several games in a row. Carlisle couldn't let that happen, and neither could Yiyang.

So when the electronic beep sounded, Yiyang was the first to stand up from the bench.

"Come on, let's get rid of this game!" Yiyang moved his arm, and it could be seen that he didn't want to play with a team like the Lakers anymore.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Yiyang showed great aggression. In the face of Clarkson's defense, Yiyang did not want to cover, but shook Clarkson through a series of quick and very confusing hand-changing dribbles.

Clarkson is indeed very talented, but his talent cannot be compared to the top players.

Past Clarkson, Yiyang will face Jordan, who has dirty pigtails and looks like a primitive man. Hill.

The only impression Hill left on Yiyang was that this guy was particularly capable of jumping. What about the others? It's almost gone.

The best way to face this kind of jumping man is not to be tough, but to trick him into jumping with you, and then solve the problem.

So, Yiyang used a beautiful jump step to the basket. But Hill thought that Yiyang wanted to go straight to the basket, so he was deceived.

After landing on the ground, Yiyang immediately jumped under the basket for the second time, and he shot a rebound to the left side and scored easily. 86 to 80, Yiyang pulled the score away as soon as he came up.

Then the Lakers attacked, and Wesley. Johnson has already scored quite a few points today. The striker was on fire today, twice scoring the ball against Iguodala's defence.

But Yiyang can see that Johnson, he doesn't even know how he threw the ball in, it's really just because of luck and feel. So as long as Iguodala fights, the skinny Johnson will be at a loss.

Yiyang deserves to be the coach on the field, because just now, Carlisle also explained this in Iguodala's ear. The coach and point guard are highly aligned, which may be one of the reasons why the Mavericks have been able to succeed.

Looking at how many coaches that smart guy Rondo has had conflicts with, you can see how valuable the relationship between Carlisle and Yiyang is.

Iguodala took the initiative to find physical contact and didn't even give Johnson another chance to connect the ball. Emaciated Wesley. Johnson is not a great off-ball attacker per se, and he has nothing to do against Iguodala's defense.

In the end, Clarkson had to call Blake to come and cover, he wanted to break through Yiyang!

"Hmph, you're not a little daring, rookie." Yiyang secretly underestimated in his heart, this Clarkson assessed the situation wrong!

"Big Black" Black blocked and took place, and Clarkson slightly lifted his center of gravity to speed around. But the moment when Clarkson slightly raised his center of gravity, in Yiyang's opinion, it was full of loopholes!

Reach out quickly, poke the ball decisively, and speed up the pursuit! Yiyang used three simple and clear steps to steal the basketball before Clarkson accelerated!

Clarkson ran wildly after Yiyang, looking at the back of the number 1 printed on it in disbelief. How could anyone in this world make such a precise tackle!?

In fact, one that allows Chris. Paul is an extremely taboo guy, and it is easy to steal Clarkson, a first-year rookie.

Clarkson could only watch as Yiyang walked away, wreaking havoc on the Staples Center's basket with his most incredible bounces and stretches.

With an 8-point difference, Yiyang is taking over the game!

"It's out of play, the Lakers are out of play. They played three good quarters, but in the final quarter, no one could keep up with the rhythm. Webb shook his head, but the Los Angeles Lakers, they seemed to be off the guy who shouldn't be provoked.

Yiyang turned on the scoring mode, and the others defended with all their might. In the final quarter of the game, the Dallas Cowboys didn't give the Lakers any more chances.

Clarkson may become a star in the future and even win a Sixth Man of the Year award. But he's not a little bit worse than the "greatest".

Yiyang didn't stop until the point difference was stretched to double digits. When Scott had to interrupt the game, Yiyang's scoring pace finally stopped.

Dallas No. 1 scored eight straight points after the start of the fourth quarter of the game, completely blinding the Lakers. This Meng was blinded to the end of the game.

The Lakers lack a decisive star, and the Mavericks have an expert in the final word.

In the end, Yiyang exploded in the Staples Center with 40 points and 10 assists, plus three steals and two blocks. 40 points, which is also Yiyang's highest score since he scored 52 points in double overtime with the Thunder on February 19.

Throughout the game, Kobe Bryant watched the game from the sidelines in a suit. In the first three quarters, Kobe Bryant didn't make any big moves. But in the last quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant spent it completely with a "jaw dropped" expression.

In Kobe's opinion, Yiyang's ability to finish the game is not even worse than his peak self.

Even though the Mavericks eliminated the Lakers back then, Kobe Bryant still didn't expect that Yiyang would reach such heights.

"100-90, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Lakers without danger, sending the opponent to an eight-game losing streak! Before the start of the game, Sam. Smith said something that the Mavericks players didn't like. But today's performance is undoubtedly the best response. "Chris. Webber has never been a fan of Yiyang, and he doesn't know why Barkley is so obsessed with this kid.

But today, Webb seems to know why.

That Dallas No. 1 can always create some unexpected surprises in the game.

After the game, not only Yiyang, but even Kobe, who did not participate in the game, became the darling of the media.

Several local Los Angeles media outlets intercepted Bryant on the sidelines and asked a question that made Bryant smile.

"What do you think of the contradiction between Yi and Sam? All I can say is that old Sam doesn't know enough about Yi, he doesn't know how amazing Yi is. ”

There is a sentence that Yiyang said, Kobe Bryant agrees very much, Sam can't wear a jersey to fight against Yiyang. So he will never know how terrible his opponent is.

You've really provoked the wrong person this time, old Sam.
