Chapter 393: Super Forest

In January 2012, the Mavericks had a flawless performance. 15 games, 13 wins. Two of those losses were by the Spurs and one by the Clippers. This kind of defeat against a strong team is not unacceptable.

People's topics are all on Yiyang, and no one knows what kind of heights this young man can reach in the future. This season, he has all but replaced Nowitzki as the team's leader. What about later? He may be able to lead the team to the top of the pack like Nowitzki did. Although people are not optimistic that the Mavericks can successfully defend their title this season, there is no doubt that their future is still exciting.

But no one expected that at the beginning of February, the Mavericks suffered a wave of three consecutive defeats. On Feb. 1, the Mavericks met the Oklahoma City Thunder, who were aiming for a championship this season. The Thunder's strong strength has made the aging lineup of the Mavericks overwhelming. In the playoffs last season, the Thunder were too immature, and the Mavericks were experienced. So in the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder are no match for the Mavericks at all.

But this season, the young Thunder have matured, and the Mavericks have become a little weaker. The Mavericks have narrowly won the previous two meetings this season. The Thunder have lost just four games so far, two of which have been due to the Mavericks. Yiyang and Nowitzki have always played the role of ring-busters, but this time, the Thunder seized the opportunity and finally won the Mavericks.

Westbrook and Durant combined for 56 points to beat the Mavericks. And the biggest reason why the Mavericks, who have been able to restrain the Thunder, lost because of injuries.

Brandon. Haywood, the Mavericks' only pillar of interior defense, left the game with an injury in the second quarter of the game. Chandler's departure at the start of the season has dealt a devastating blow to the Mavericks' interior line. Now without the replacement of Haywood, a low-profile version, there is only one Frenchman on the Mavericks' roster who can still use it. At this point, the Mavericks' interior defense collapsed in an instant, and the Thunder seized the opportunity to take away the victory.

Yiyang scored 28 points and 11 assists in this game, but the Mavericks still lost the game despite the poor defense.

95-86, the Thunder finally got their revenge. And the loss of this game also shattered the Mavericks' dream of a ten-game winning streak. The Thunder also managed to retain their first place in the West because of the victory in this game.

Although it was lost, the loss did not attract much attention. With so many games in a season, it's normal to lose once or twice. What's more, the Thunder are one of the strongest teams in the league this season. They won't surprise anyone by beating any opponent.

But what people didn't expect was that on February 3, the Mavericks lost again. This time, it was the Indiana Pacers who beat them.

In this game, Kidd just played 3 minutes before he retired due to injury. Having just lost Haywood the day before yesterday, his comeback is still far away. Today, the Mavericks lost Kidd again, and the team's roster integrity was greatly compromised.

Although Kidd's tactical position this season is not as important as last season, he is still an integral part of the rotation. After his absence due to injury, Carlisle had to use Delonti, who had been mentally unstable. West plays the main rotation.

West has had a few great performances this season, but more often than not, you can't expect much from him.

The Pacers seized the opportunity, and Paul. George blasted 30 points, David. West also had 20 points on his account. On the other hand, on the Mavericks' side, after being hit, only Yiyang behaved normally. In the end, the Mavericks swallowed the defeat 87-98, which was also the second time that the Mavericks experienced a losing streak this season.

Most unexpectedly, a day after losing to the Pacers, the Mavericks lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were rebuilding! Throughout the game, Yiyang maintained pressure on the Cavaliers rising star Irving. But no one expected that Owen would hit a shot in the last 2 seconds of the game and successfully killed!

In this regard, the Mavericks lost 3 in a row! And Yiyang, who was killed by Owen, was also questioned again. The last time he was killed by Billups, people said that it was Carter who played against Billups at the last moment, not Yiyang. But this time, Owen scored the killer goal on Yiyang's head, and Yiyang didn't have any excuses. Although he is better than Owen in terms of statistics, he still loses, and he loses very completely!

Just an hour after Yiyang was brutally killed by Owen, Madison Square Garden in New York. The Knicks won with Anthony scoring just 17 points on 20 percent shooting, and at this point, the commentators had only one name in their mouths!

"Incredible Jeremy. Lin, he saved the Knicks! God, we have just experienced the ravages of January in January. At the beginning of February, Jeremy . Lin played a crazy performance! Asian defenders, is this ready to dominate the whole league!? "Mike. Brin looked at the court in amazement, at the yellow-skinned guard who did a miracle and saved the Knicks.

Jeremy Lin is said to be on the verge of being waived by the Knicks, and he can't even afford to rent a decent apartment in New York. Spend the day on the couch at Fields' house. But it was such an incredible little person who changed the fate of New York!

"No one would have thought that this young Asian in the number 17 shirt would be able to create a whirlwind in the bustling city of New York, which is nothing short of a miracle! He was cut by the Mavericks after the summer league last season and then dropped by the Warriors and Rockets. At the New York Knicks this year, he looked like he was about to lose his job. But tonight, Jeremy didn't just save the Knicks, he saved his own career! "Mike. Brin was completely infected by Jeremy Lin's inspirational experience, and Yiyang's popularity was instantly overshadowed by Jeremy Lin.

Both Asian defenders played incredible, and naturally the two could not escape being compared by fans and reporters.

"Yi and Jeremy were teammates for a short time in Summer League, and they have a very good personal relationship. If they do, I don't know what kind of sparks they will make! ”

"The Mavericks are really rich in point guards, and after Kidd, Nash, Harris and Yi, now there is another Jeremy. Forest. It's a pity that no one except Yi has ever left his peak in Dallas. The next game between the Knicks and the Mavericks will definitely be quite good! ”

"The Mavericks have lost three in a row recently, and they have just been beaten by the top Irving. At the critical moment, it also seems to be a little unreliable. But Jeremy is different, it seems that the more anxious the game, the more capable he can burst out! If these two people meet, they may not take advantage of the slightest advantage! ”

The day after the game, there was an unprecedented phenomenon in the NBA. All the reporters and fans are talking about two yellow-skinned and black-haired defenders! In the NBA, where there are many strongmen, two Asian players have become the biggest stars. Everyone thinks that the era of American domination of the basketball world is over, and Asian players have begun to make their mark in the world.

Yiyang, who was killed by Owen, was greatly stimulated, and seeing the rise of Jeremy Lin, Yiyang was not far behind.

So in the half month after the three-game losing streak, the Mavericks defeated the Nuggets twice, as well as the Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Clippers and 76ers, and achieved a wave of six consecutive wins. During the six-game period, Yiyang averaged 25.8 points, 11.7 assists and 2.3 steals per game, winning the Western Conference Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks.

On the Knicks' side, although they lost Anthony who was absent due to injury, they defeated the Jazz, Wizards, Timberwolves, Raptors, Kings and even the powerful Los Angeles Lakers under the leadership of Jeremy Lin!

On February 6, at the crowded Madison Garden Plaza, Jeremy Lin made his debut for the first time. When Anthony limped off the court, Jeremy Lin stepped up again, scoring with layups and jumpers that people were not familiar with before, and made 2+1 fouls to help the team win 99-88 over the Utah Jazz.

The following week, Jeremy Lin scored a 23+10 double-double in the face of Washington Wizards' main Wall, which was also his first double-double in the NBA.

On February 10, the Knicks played at home against the Lakers, and this time, Lin's opponent was the powerful Kobe. In this game, Jeremy Lin scored 38 points to beat Kobe's 34 points, and at the same time helped the team win, and Madison Garden Square applauded. After the game, reporters asked Kobe how Jeremy Lin was doing, and Kobe Bryant faced the camera, just pouted helplessly, and then said: "He cut nearly 40 points on my head, but you asked me how he performed?" ”

Although he did not directly praise Jeremy Lin, there is no doubt that even the arrogant "Black Mamba" has been conquered by Jeremy Lin's terrifying performance. Losing in the hands of Asian defenders in a row, Kobe Bryant is really bitter in his heart.

This week, Jeremy Lin led the Knicks to a five-game winning streak and was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week with an average of 27.3 points, 8.3 assists and 2.0 steals in his four starts.

The new term "Lin Crazy" is starting to go viral all over the world, with two Asian defenders dominating the East and West in February, and people have imagined countless times what it will be like when the two men meet again.

But all of this is already happening!

On February 20, the NBA scheduled a total of 10 games, with 20 teams participating. Among them, there are many popular teams such as the Heat and Lakers, as well as superstars such as James, Kobe Bryant and Howard. But almost all TV stations gave the same game the whole U.S. live broadcast. This game is the New York Knicks vs. Dallas Mavericks game at Madison Square Garden!

Yiyang and Jeremy Lin, two Asian guards, stole the limelight from everyone, and even Kobe Bryant and James couldn't suppress their popularity.

One led the team to six consecutive wins with three consecutive defeats and an incomplete team lineup, and the other played a crazy performance when he was about to be cut, making "Lin Crazy" take the world by storm.

Now, however, the two Asian defenders who dominate the East and West are finally going to meet. Everyone is ready, and the ratings for this game are sure to delight all the TV stations.

This Mars collision with the Earth is about to start in New York, the "Big Apple"! This time the Battle of New York may be even more hot than the one in the Avengers!
