Yiyang looked up at the big screen at the scene, and there were still 40 seconds left in the game. If there's one thing he didn't do well today, it's that he let the "French Little Roadster" score too many points.

But fortunately, there is still room for redemption. The last 40 seconds belonged to the Dallas Mavericks' last offense. Of course, it is also very likely to influence the outcome of the whole game.

The Mavericks are just 40 seconds away from their 13th winning streak, and what happens after 40 seconds will depend on the outcome of the game with Tony. Parker's play! "On the commentary stage, Mike. Brin stared intently at the pitch for fear of missing any detail.

Today is January 8th, 24 hours after the Mavericks slaughtered the Los Angeles Lakers at home, they welcomed an opponent who was several times stronger than the Lakers, and what is considered to be the biggest obstacle preventing the Mavericks from reaching the Finals this season, the San Antonio Spurs!

In the previous meeting between the two sides, Yiyang scored 53 points at the ATT Center, helping the Mavericks defeat the Spurs by a huge margin of 106-81. And that game happened to be the beginning of the Mavericks' 12-game winning streak.

However, it turns out that such a thing as slashing 50+ points on the Spurs' head does not happen in every game. In today's game, the Spurs' defense did a very good job, and Yiyang was blocked everywhere. Thankfully, Yiyang, who played reasonably well, has scored 28 points so far with 66.7% and 10-of-15 shooting.

And today, Yiyang is most dissatisfied with his performance, that is, he also let Parker score 21 points.

The Spurs were extra patient on the offensive end in this game, and the Spurs players would definitely not have made a shot if they didn't have a chance! Parker borrowed two or three pick-and-rolls off the ball and hit a shot, which came up more than once or twice today.

Yiyang's defense is still very serious, but in the face of a tacit team like the Spurs, you are not actually defending Parker alone, but the entire team of the Spurs.

At the end of the half, the score was tied between the two sides. But in the third quarter of the game, the Spurs almost took the victory outright.

Italian defender Marc. Belinelli shot 4-of-6 from three-point range in the first quarter to give the Spurs a huge lead. Fortunately, the Mavericks stabilized their position and pursued the score with difficulty under the leadership of Yiyang.

It wasn't until two minutes before the end of the fourth quarter that the Mavericks finally tied the score. And now with 40 seconds left in the game, the Mavericks have a temporary lead by 3 points.

With a 3-point lead of 40 seconds, that's actually quite a lead. But Yiyang, who was holding the ball outside the three-point line, did not dare to slack off, because the Spurs definitely have the ability to change the outcome of the game in the last 40 seconds!

He also stalled outside the three-point line, and it seemed that he was going to fill all 24 seconds of offense. People say the Spurs have put the idea of allowing the Mavericks to tie their 17-game winning streak to the ground. However, judging by the Mavericks' tenacious performance today, they do not agree with such statements. ”

Mike. By the time Brin said that, the 24-second offensive time was over with just 10 seconds left. Yiyang finally moved, and he began to push forward slowly, while Parker spread his arms, and under the dual effect of nervousness and exhaustion, the French sweat drops had fallen to the ground along the tip of his chin.

Parker hasn't forgotten the lesson of the last time he was shaken by Yiyang's backward step and fell to the ground. In the face of a guy like Yiyang, seeing is not necessarily believing. Be careful, be careful!

Yiyang's body that lowered his center of gravity suddenly came together and held the ball in his left hand, as if he was about to break through to the left.

Parker didn't dare to act rashly, if he was easily blocked, he would only be easily passed by Yiyang!

However, this time, Parker was smart and was mistaken by cleverness. Yiyang knew that Parker must have considered his movements very complicated, but in fact, Yiyang really just wanted to use this simple action to break to the left.

Yiyang's soles kicked the ground hard, and the good friction between Yiyang's first-generation combat boots and the floor and the light body made him plunge into the inner line like an arrow off the string.

Seeing that Yiyang broke through Parker, Duncan and Split immediately recovered the basket. Duncan stands slightly forward, beware of Yiyang's pull-up jumper. Split, on the other hand, is positioned slightly further back, naturally to protect the basket.

Yiyang jumped directly after stepping into the three-second zone, and he held the basketball high, as if he was going to go straight to the basket!

Duncan had already pounced on Yiyang, and Yiyang's attack was so simple that Duncan could complete the block with just one stretch of his hand. But Duncan is still not at ease, this guy can't play so easily!

It's really impossible, Yiyang's breakthrough is just a feint, and it plays a role in attracting the attention of the defense. When Duncan was about to touch the basketball in Yiyang's hand, Yiyang passed it to the back of his head.

Nowitzki, who was unmarked in the mid-range position, received the basketball, did not hesitate, and calmly shot with only two seconds left on the offensive clock.

Although Nowitzki has "taken a back seat", he is still the best player in the league to shoot key shots. The moment Yiyang passed the ball to him, Dirk's heart didn't even beat faster.

It's like he's on the training floor, aiming at the basket, then pressing his wrist and flicking his fingers. After that, wait quietly for this beautiful sound to appear.

"Brush". The nets rolled, the basketball hit, and the electronic beep sounded. The fans in the arena at the American Airlines Center stood up and gave a round of applause to Nowitzki, the hero who gave everything to the Mavericks.

"A beautiful breakaway point, this combination and Dirk, even a second's deviation, will result in 24 seconds of offensive time overtime. But they didn't make mistakes, they were in control! ”

Although, at this time, there are still 20 seconds left for the Spurs to attack. But it's still very difficult to chase 5 points in 20 seconds.

"Well passed, boy, you lied to them all!" After the goal, Nowitzki took the initiative to high-five Yiyang. If it weren't for Yiyang's passing, there wouldn't be his steady shooting at critical moments.

In fact, Yiyang's choice to pass the key shot just now was not to "shake the pot", but to implement tactics in strict accordance with Carlisle's arrangement. Carlisle knows very well what Popovich is, judging from the Spurs' defense just now, he has simply set a net against Yiyang. Even if Yiyang shoots, it will be difficult to score goals under the interference of Duncan and Split.

As a result, Carlisle simply handed the key shot back to Nowitzki. Popovich, no matter how godly he is, can't have guessed this.

The results showed that Carlisle's arrangement was quite correct. The Spurs did focus on Yiyang, and Yiyang's passing ability ensured that Nowitzki could shoot without interference.

From the tactical arrangement to the final execution, the Mavericks did it seamlessly. After all, they were able to win 12 in a row, and it was not by luck.

In the next 20 seconds of the game, the Spurs naturally chose to shoot three points. But unfortunately, Belinelli did not continue his hot hand in the third quarter. In Tony. Allen's face-sealing interfered with the Italian's three-point shot and slammed into the frame. This iron shot naturally dashed the Spurs' hopes!

"It's over, it's over! Let's congratulate the Dallas Mavericks, who defeated old rivals San Antonio Spurs for the second time this season. While winning 13 in a row, they also bulldozed the biggest obstacle on the way to a 17-game winning streak! It's an incredible team, this year's Dallas Mavericks are as unstoppable as they were in the 06-07 season! ”

With Belinelli's three-point hit, Popovich was not reconciled to replace all the main players. He lost, losing to the Dallas Mavericks for the second time this season. What the old man has been worried about seems to be developing step by step towards reality.

In this year's playoffs, the Spurs must not meet the Mavericks!

98-93, Nowitzki's shot became the last goal of the game. After the match, Yiyang and Nowitzki hugged each other tightly. This game allowed them to find the same thrill as they killed three years ago.

Yiyang had 28 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal, and his steady performance was still the same, and he did not let today become the end point of the Mavericks' winning streak.

At that time, Yiyang, who was in the court of Wood District, treasured the iron ring nailed to the broken plank, maybe he could not have imagined that he could achieve so much in the NBA. But since the opportunity has come, you have to seize it!

"Do you think the Mavericks have any hope of breaking their all-time record of 17 straight wins this season?" At the post-match press conference, the reporters' questions were the same as before, and there was nothing new.

But this time, Yiyang no longer kept silent about this record.

"17 wins in a row? Maybe we can do more? Yiyang's unsmiling expression didn't look like a joke at all. If the opportunity has come, why limit it to just a 17-game winning streak?

As soon as these words came out, most of the basketball world was shocked. Yiyang usually shows people in a low-key manner, why did he speak wildly this time?

"17 wins in a row? Isn't it too simple! ”

"There are no weak teams in the NBA, anyone can come, quickly reduce the arrogance of that Chinese!"

"I have to admit that this time it was a bit overwhelming. Although the Mavericks played beautifully in the game against the Spurs, winning one game does not mean that he can win all his opponents! ”

In the face of doubts from the outside world, Yiyang has long been accustomed to it. From the beginning of his rookie season to now becoming the MVP, Yiyang has always grown up in doubts. But those who question him usually don't end well.

After the victory over the Spurs, the Mavericks felt as if the gas pedal had been stepped on the bottom, and they couldn't stop running all the way.

On Jan. 10, the Mavericks beat the Hornets on the road. Although the Hornets have Anthony. Davis is the top pick, but he always needs time to grow, and he can't take the Hornets to the top in one fell swoop.

107 to 90, Yiyang 32 points and 10 assists, Mavericks won 14 consecutive victories!

On January 11, the Mavericks returned to their home court, and they didn't change their opponents, the Hornets.

The league has a few of these brain-dead fixtures scheduled each season, where two identical teams play two games in two days, home and away.

Unfortunately, this time the Hornets were caught in the "brain-dead schedule". As a result, they had to suffer a second injury from the Mavericks 24 hours later.

95-110, the Hornets lost even worse today because they had no intention of fighting after the start of the second half.

Facing the same tough opponent for two days in a row, as long as the Hornets players are normal people, they won't like this game.

Thanks to the league's "brain-dead schedule", the Mavericks easily won their 15th game in a row from the Hornets!

At this point, those media who are still questioning Yiyang have begun to panic. Next up for the Mavericks are the Magic and the Nets, both of whom have struggled in the East this season. It seems unrealistic to expect them to stop the Mavericks' winning streak.

Sure enough, on January 13, facing the Orlando Magic, who have only won 10 games so far this season, Yiyang slashed 42 points and pushed his doubters to the edge of the cliff.

"Big Baby" Glenn. Davis and Morris. The inside line composed of Hakris does not have any ability to protect the frame at all. Yiyang's repeated impacts have made Orlando sad, when will their team return to the top?

108 to 88, Yiyang's 42 points allowed the Mavericks to win 16 consecutive victories! We are just one game away from breaking the best 17-game winning streak set in team history set in the 06-07 season!

The next stop was Brooklyn, and everyone thought the Mavericks had won.

But when the outside world applauded, Yiyang was not carried away. The battle in Brooklyn will never be easy, at least, not as easy as the victory over the Magic today.

The Nets have a bunch of veterans who are still hungry for a championship, and most importantly, there is also a Jason who is going crazy when he meets Yiyang. Terry. and a mentor that Yiyang can not ignore today, then Nets coach, Jason. Kyd......
