After Yiyang scored eight points in a row with a self-shooting and self-supplementing play, the Jazz players were visibly alert. The Dallas Mavericks are not as vulnerable as the media has reported. It's because they've just gone through the longest four-game losing streak of the season that they're hungry for victory more than ever!

Millsap is also not the kind of player whose brain is out of control as soon as his brain is hot, and after two unwise impulsive attacks, he has come out of the anger of being blocked by Yiyang. Millsap is extremely calm now, and he doesn't ask for the ball indiscriminately. And this has undoubtedly greatly improved the offensive quality of the Jazz team.

"The defense was as tight as ever, Devon. Harris doesn't look like he has a good chance. We see Gordon on the right. Hayward suddenly came out, and Harris quickly got on the ball! Hayward, who was outside the three-point line, received the ball and shot, and hit a three-point shot! Haha, here it is! This is Tyrone. Corbyn's Utah Jazz, they're all soldiers! O'Neal saw that the Jazz had finally made a smooth offense, and his mind was already fantasizing about Barkley wearing a wig.

"Charles was only three points away, and even with such a good performance, he still couldn't pull the score away."

"It's been less than five minutes into the game, you idiot, if anyone can pull the score away within the opening five minutes, what's there to see in the NBA?" Barkley slammed back, and the battle on the commentary bench seemed more intense than on the pitch.

Not just on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, the Jazz have improved dramatically. They are no longer attracted to the rest of the Mavericks, and instead put all the defensive focus on Yiyang.

At the beginning, the Mavericks' tactic was that others tried to open up space for Yiyang outside the three-point line, and then Yiyang singled Harris to score easily. But now, the Jazz's defensive formation is starting to consciously shrink.

When Yiyang easily breaks through Harris again, he will no longer face the empty three-second zone, but the Jazz's layers of defense!

Seeing this situation, Yiyang passed the ball directly. In the bottom right corner of the court, Carter was already cleared.

As soon as he passed, Hayward immediately changed his guard and pounced on Carter again. Carter threw the ball ahead of Hayward, but his exhausting physical strength combined with a slight distraction caused Carter to lose his crosshairs.

"Vince. Carter misses a shot from beyond the three-point line, and that's what the Jazz want to see! If the rest of the Mavericks can't shoot, the pressure will be even greater! "Kenny. Smith didn't get too involved in the farce between O'Neal and Barkley, and he was the most serious watcher of the three.

Kenny. Smith knew Carlisle's plan, and he just wanted to use the shooter group to help Yiyang create space. But if the scorers can't score, their diversion will be greatly reduced.

The Mavericks' offense was not good, but the Jazz seized the opportunity to make another move. Millsap and Al. The two of Jefferson came up with an inside pick-and-roll to help Millsap get to the mid-range position to catch the basketball.

The latter made a decisive open shot and did not give Nowitzki a chance to make amends. Basketball hollow into the net, the Jazz team is officially on the right track!

'Carlisle's tactics are fine, and so is the execution of the players. The problem is that the exhausted Mavericks have a hard time shooting from the outside. I wonder if Coach Carlisle will make some adjustments after that? ”

Carlisle at this time actually doesn't have much to do, a group of old guys who are so tired that they can't even start to shoot, can you still expect them to break through and cause damage? It's the only way to create scoring opportunities for Yiyang!

For the rest of the first quarter, the scores were scorching again. Yiyang was surrounded by layers, but the hit rate of the rest of the Mavericks was miserable. The Jazz gradually took control of the initiative until the rotation time came.

Due to Kidd's injury, Delonti. West had just been cut again, so Yiyang was the only starter to stay on the court during the rotation time. In today's game, Yiyang will definitely have to hold on for more than 40 minutes. So he was very careful about the distribution of his physical strength, for fear that he would lose his strength at the last moment.

Surprisingly, after the Mavericks changed to a rotating lineup, the game improved slightly.

As soon as he came back from the pause, Yiyang assisted Yi Jianlian, who was floating outside, to hit a mid- and long-range shot. Although Yi Jianlian's "kite-flying" style of play is not popular with other teams, it is very suitable for the Mavericks.

On the second offense, Yi Jianlian, a guy with no sense of existence, was still let go by the Jazz, and the Jazz substituted for Derrick. Favors insisted on choosing to defend Yiyang.

So, Yi Jianlian hit his second shot of the day as if he was doing shooting training.

"Yi has scored four points in a row, and the Jazz defense should probably pay more attention to the Mavericks' gaps!"

"You go out, I can do it alone!" Jazz backup center Ines. Kanter whispered in Favors' ear that if the Chinese was allowed to throw his hand, it would be troublesome.

It's clear that the Swiss N'Golo Kante is a bit overconfident in his own abilities. After losing Favors' defense, Yiyang is like a wild horse on the loose.

He borrowed Yi Jianlian's block and went directly into the restricted area, and then used a turn to pass C.J. Myers, who came to make up for the defense, and then faced Kanter who was guarding the basket!

Yiyang was not afraid of the Swiss' vicious gaze, he leaned directly on Kante and jumped to the basket. In the air, Kante violently violated Yiyang's cylinder, and the referee blew the whistle. But even when his body was twisted, Yiyang still stabilized the rhythm of his shot and gently threw the basketball on the board.

Yiyang, who lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground hard, and the basketball he threw up bounced into the basket with the rebound!

"Hit three points! It also causes a foul and a penalty will be added! Haha, after the rotation lineup came on the court, the Mavericks were revitalized instead! Maybe Coach Carlisle could consider letting the rotation squad play more time today! ”

Yi Jianlian and Terry hurriedly ran over and pulled Yiyang up from the ground. Yiyang rubbed his sore back, and then walked directly to the free throw line.

When Yiyang received the referee's pass, the Jazz fans burst out to boo. Yiyang closed his eyes, wanting to delete all distractions.

"The essence of professional basketball is to win...... The essence of professional basketball is to win......" After silently reciting both sides of this sentence in his heart, Yiyang opened his eyes violently, adjusted his breathing, and then calmly made a move.

The voices of more than 10,000 fans at the Energy Solutions Stadium could not stop Yiyang from hitting the penalty. At this point, the Mavericks regained the score. And Yiyang's score in the first quarter of the game has soared to 13!

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks had a narrow lead of 24-22. Although the difference was not large, Carlisle saw a good choice. Today's game may not be so difficult to win!

"In the first quarter, the Mavericks were really outstanding. But I have to remind you that he's been playing 12 minutes and he's been playing a full quarter. So at the beginning of the second quarter, there will definitely be a break. That's when the Jazz had the best chance to build an edge. Losing the Mavericks equals ......"

"No, no, no, look at the field." Kenny. Before Smith could finish his commentary, Barkley was rudely interrupted.

Looking in the direction of Barkley's finger, Kenny. Smith's eyes widened. The second quarter of the game has begun, and Yiyang, who has just played 12 minutes, is still on the battlefield!

"There was no rest, Coach Carlisle did not take him off! Moreover, the lineup he discharged is very eccentric! Nowitzki plays the No. 5 position, Yi Jianlian plays the No. 4 position, and Terry plays the No. 2 position! Coach Carlisle has come up with a mix of starters and substitutes, and hopefully his change of lineup will help the Mavericks regain control! Barkley rubbed his hands excitedly, just warmed up, and then, the show was Cairo!

Carlisle's purpose in sending this lineup is simple, these guys are the best players in the Mavericks today. Yi Jianlian, Terry and Nowitzki can at least ensure the shooting rate of the open position. Marion, on the other hand, is able to share the pressure on the perimeter defense.

As long as there is a hit rate in the open space, Yiyang can get a chance. And once Yiyang goes crazy, the Jazz team will not want to win again in this game!

As soon as the second quarter of the game began, the unbelieving Jazz still strictly guarded Yiyang, and even did not hesitate to use a double bag.

But don't forget, Yiyang is one of the top passers in the league. Even in the crowd, he was able to safely get the ball to his teammates.

Yiyang's breakthrough attracted Ayl. Jefferson and Millsap blocked under the basket. Yiyang seems to have no vision, but in fact, he has already observed Nowitzki's movement.

He hit the ground and sent the ball between Jefferson's legs to Nowitzki. Seeing that he was pierced by his crotch, Al. Jefferson hurriedly turned around. But what he saw was Nowitzki's beautiful shooting posture.

"Dirk shoots again! The Jazz's defense is already in trouble, it's up to them to choose! Whether to continue to guard against others, or to divide attention and control others. ”

So far, the Jazz's choice is still pressing Yiyang step by step! The Chinese guard scored 13 points in the first quarter of the game, and his strength is beyond doubt. Let him score, I'm afraid he will break his own scoring record in the Energy Solutions Arena!

After that, Millsap wanted to force Yi Jianlian. But it is obvious that this big forward, who is only 2.03 meters tall, underestimates Yi Jianlian's strength.

Yi Jianlian's ability is indeed not the top in the NBA league, and he has played tepidly in the Mavericks for more than a month. But he's also a player with NBA rotation level, and he can't be beaten casually.

Millsap directly relied on Yi Jianlian to force a breakthrough, and the strong Millsap walked to the basket with ease. Then, jump straight to the basket without getting rid of the defense!

Yi Jianlian gritted his teeth, jumped up, straightened his arm, and slapped the basketball in Millsap's hand in a daze!

Shocked, Millsap hurriedly reached out to catch the ball, but in a panic, he inadvertently poked the ball out of the bottom line! Basketball out of bounds, Mavericks ball possession!

"Haha, Yi Jianlian's cover is very beautiful! Paul seems to have thought too much of his opponent! Chinese players are not as easy to bully as people think, and this is a living example! ”

Millsap had a black line on his face, thinking that he had caught a soft persimmon, but he didn't know that he had eaten it instead.

Subsequently, Yi Jianlian's baseline ball was sent directly to Yiyang's hand. The Jazz's strategy has not changed, they have narrowed the lineup as much as possible, and focused on defending Yiyang's breakthroughs.

This time, Yiyang did not rush to accelerate to the basket, but gestured outside the three-point line and commanded for a while.

When his teammates all started to run, Yiyang's hands began to accelerate and dribble alternately, and he was ready to "hurricane"!

Yiyang, who was originally planning to break through, suddenly retreated diagonally back, as if he was ready to shoot directly in three points! This scene frightened Harris hurriedly stepped forward to block, Yiyang's step-back three-point has killed too many opponents this season, Harris doesn't want to be a "gun ghost".

Yiyang stepped back and withdrew the basketball and looked up at the basket. Harris, meanwhile, struggled to leap to his feet, and even if he couldn't block Yiyang's shot, he had to interfere as much as he could.

However, the moment he took off, he was actually led by Yiyang's nose.

The corners of Yiyang's mouth curled slightly, and he accelerated past Harris after the jump. Harris's eyes widened, and his back was covered with cold sweat.

"The feint of worshipping Buddha is so realistic, even I thought I was going to shoot!" Kenny. Smith yelled, the small details of Yiyang's just closing the ball and raising his head to feint are not something that everyone can worry about.

After Yiyang broke through, it was naturally a high-speed direct kill in the restricted area, and the players of the Jazz team quickly cleaned up, and it is no exaggeration to say that Yiyang was surrounded by four people in the middle!

The Dallas No. 1 jumped bravely, but with a back-of-the-head pass in the air, the "cannonball" was delivered to Terry.

"None of the Mavericks starters today were playing well from beyond the three-point line, so what about Terry off the bench!?" Barkley's heart was in his throat.

It took a few seconds for Terry to catch the ball before he made a steady shot. The basketball slashed through a beautiful arc in the air, making Jazz fans desperate and falling straight into the net!

"In! The Dallas Mavericks' offense is fully open! Now, the Jazz have to defend themselves! ”

After the goal, Carlisle, who was sitting on the bench, shook his fist hard to vent his excitement.

Just because the rest of the Mavericks can score doesn't mean they'll follow the Jazz's example of spreading offense throughout the half. Due to extreme exhaustion, the offensive consistency of the others is still not up to the mark.

But at least now, Carlisle's group of shooters for Yiyang has just happened to be a big drawn. Then it's time for Yiyang's performance......
