Yiyang's pentathlon performance made the confident Clippers fall behind by a full ten points as soon as they came up. Paul didn't know how Yiyang did it, so many tall insiders in this league couldn't block his layup, but Yiyang really did it.

It was just a finger rubbing against the ball, but it was also a way to cover it. As long as you can prevent the opponent from scoring, what is the difference between directly fanning and losing?

After sitting on the bench, Paul couldn't help but look up at the replay on the big screen of the scene. As he expected, what was playing on the big screen at this time was the picture of him being blocked by Yiyang.

Yiyang's desperate expression for victory made Paul seem to be back to the season two years ago, when the Clippers were swept out by the Mavericks.

At that time, Yiyang also had the same expression. But Paul doesn't want the same tragedy to happen to the Clippers again.

"Shooters try to get their chances as much as possible by covering off the ball, and we need to increase the number of shots we take from the outside, especially on three-pointers. Don't try to get close to the basket, it'll only make you miss again and again! "At this point, Doug. Rivers has figured out that the Mavericks' interior disadvantage is long gone. In the last game, the Clippers relied on Gobert's "ATM" defense to kill all sides. But if they do that today, the Clippers themselves will undoubtedly be killed in the end.

Since he couldn't play inside, Rivers began to play the idea of three-point shooting, and now three-point shooting is making up more and more of the league. Players are shooting and shooting percentage from three-point shots year by year, and you can see the three-point shot as the team's primary scoring tool.

Wait for Gobert to go down, De Juan. After Bryan came out, it was not too late for Rivers to organize the team to play inside.

Rivers seems to have forgotten that the Golden State Warriors, who were just swept 4-0 by the Mavericks, are a three-point team......

The game restarted with Rivers playing with Jamal . Crawford replaced Barnes with the obvious intention of strengthening the team's attack. Crawford has been in excellent form since winning the Sixth Man of the Year award. With one more point of attack, Rivers believes the Clippers will also get more opportunities than others.

"The Clippers have a very aggressive roster right now, with Chris, Redick and Crawford all three on the perimeter all very capable of scoring. We know that the Clippers are desperate to tie the score right now. It can be said that this will be a spear and shield duel! ”

The Clippers came back from a timeout for the first offense, and Crawford picked up Paul's pass early and tangled with Andre Iguodala from beyond the three-point line.

But in reality, Crawford was just a feint. Everyone thought he was going to play single, but the real endpoint for the Clippers was Redick.

Redick borrowed the old trick to repeat it, borrowing the double blocking of Jordan Jr. and Griffin to the outside of the three-point line. Crawford, meanwhile, broke through and gave Redick a fleeting chance.

Redick didn't hesitate and took the ball as soon as he threw it. That's what the Clippers did when he started the game, just catch the ball, and his value is reflected in the catch and throw

This offense, the Clippers executed seamlessly. Redick hit a three-pointer to narrow the gap to 7 points!

Rivers waved his arms in an exaggerated way, and the timeout was immediately effective, which is what all managers like to see.

Tony. Aaron didn't expect Redick's shot to be so decisive, and all the interference was not very timely. The black defender raised his right arm to signal that it was his fault and that he would do well in the next round.

See Tony. Aaron reacted like this, and Rivers laughed even more happily. I'm afraid the next time, I won't let you get what you wanted, Tony!

The Clippers' lineup, while strong in attack, is destined to come at the cost of sacrificing defense, with the 1.95-meter-tall Crawford clearly suffering physically when defending Iguodala.

Iguodala received Yiyang's pass and pressed directly into the three-second zone with his body, and then turned over and made a jumper from close range.

Easily, the Mavericks pulled the score away again. While Iguodala isn't a scorer, don't assume that this strong, all-around forward will only dunk fast.

Although the defense failed again, Rivers was not in such a hurry as he had just been. He believes his tactics won't last just one turn before they lose their effectiveness.

This time, the man with the ball feint changed from Crawford to Griffin. Griffin pushed with his back in the mid-range position and collided with Nowitzki fiercely.

Then, he suddenly straightened his arm and placed the basketball in front of him. Reddick dodges in and snatches the basketball away from Griffin's hand. With a beautiful hand-to-hand fit, Reddick is once again the endpoint!

After handing the ball to Reddick, Griffin took advantage of the block and stopped Tony again. Aaron's way.

Although Tony. Allen's speed at getting rid of the pick-and-roll was top-notch, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't get any faster than Redick's shot.

Redick made a sharp stop outside the three-point line, and just as he was about to make a shot, a large hand came out and interfered with Redick's vision.

"How is it so fast!?" Redick looked at it in surprise, but it wasn't Tony who was interfering with his shot. Aaron, but Yiyang!

"When did you make it up!?" Reddick was shocked, but if Yiyang appeared in front of him, it meant that Paul had been emptied.

Redick then twisted his body in the air and turned it into a pass, passing the ball towards Paul's position.

Yiyang knows how to make up for Redick in time, Tony. Why don't defensive experts like Allen understand the importance of supplemental defense?

Redick's pass was just halfway through when he made up for Tony, who was next to Paul. Aaron reached out halfway to steal the ball! Tony pushed forward, and the Mavericks took advantage of the Clippers' mistake to get a chance to counterattack!

Although Tony. Allen was eventually fouled by Crawford and couldn't score directly, but there was no doubt that the steal was a blow to Rivers. Your tactics really only last one turn.

Tony. Allen made one of two free throws to stretch the deficit back to 10 points. Yiyang and Tony's wonderful defense allowed Redick to be beaten back to his original form after only one round of magic.

The interior offense of the Clippers can't be opened, so is the Mavericks' outside trident so easy to beat?

Both inside and outside are lost, and what awaits the Clippers is only to be stretched wider and wider.

Yiyang faked a real pass to assist Nowitzki to shoot and hit a 12-point difference.

Griffin's mid-range jumper was fanned away by Gobert, who came from the rebound, and when he looked down, "White Monster" realized that he was standing within the three-second zone.

Today, neither the three-second zone nor the three-point line is a place where the Clippers can score points. Even Crawford, the best sixth man, struggled to find a point today.

By the end of the first quarter, Redick had to put his shooting point in the mid-range position and use three-point shooting tactics to score two points, which only achieved some results.

But unfortunately, the point difference has been opened up by the Mavericks. 28 to 16, the double-digit gap has never been narrowed since its inception.

"The Mavericks' excellent defense has made the confident Clippers feel dusty. Jamal. Crawford made four shots in the first quarter but hit just one. Redick was from beyond the three-point line and had only one shot. I don't know what Carlisle said to Rudy yesterday or if he said it, but his performance today certainly took the Clippers by surprise. "Watching the Mavericks build a double-digit margin in the first quarter of the game, Kevin Brown. Harlan was completely impressed by the Mavericks' excellent defense.

"Do you think the Mavericks can be so good just because of their defense? Take a look at the data Kevin, I'm sure you'll find something different. ”

Listen to Mike. After Brin finished, Kevin. Harlan looked at Yiyang's statistics again. With 12 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 block and 2 steals in a single quarter, Yiyang has achieved the ultimate in almost every aspect.

Before the start of the game, many media claimed that Yiyang was not worthy of the title of MVP. But with only one game today, Yiyang proved himself.

In the second quarter, Paul began to exert his strength. He's turned on his own scoring mode and he's in great form. As a player with a block rate of just 0.5 percent, Paul's layup really went between scoring and being blocked.

Gobert's defense was just as good as he was in the first quarter, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only watch Paul's shots run through his fingertips and into the net.

Paul can score efficiently against the defense of Yiyang and Gobert alone, and I have to admit that he is indeed one of the greatest point guards of this era. Well, one.

Paul's consistent scoring didn't make the margin narrow much. Because of the Mavericks' offense, they can always score easily under the guidance of Yiyang.

He can shoot from beyond the three-point line, and he can also hit the interior with great speed to cause damage. He can pass the ball to assist his teammates to get easy scoring opportunities, and he can also fight for offensive rebounds with his 1.93 meter height when his teammates hit iron.

In every corner of the basketball court, at every time of the day, you can see Yiyang's figure. When Gobert, who played the entire first quarter, was finally replaced, the Clippers attacked De Juan. When Blair defended the inside line, it was Yiyang's continuous output on the offensive end that did not narrow the point difference. What's more, Yiyang also helped Blair share a lot of rebounding pressure.

Paul is a great point guard, and Yiyang is in Mike. In Brin's view, however, it is no longer as simple as "greatness". If Yiyang can lead the team to win the championship with such excellent statistics while winning the MVP this year. Then, he will be a truly epoch-making player!

In the second quarter, Paul played very well. With 14 points in the quarter, half of the Clippers' scoring came from Paul.

But after Yiyang played the half, the statistics had become 20 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Kevin. Harlan even exclaimed that there was definitely someone in the stands who was using a handle to control Yiyang to play. Because only in a game of basketball, this kind of data is reasonable.

Was Paul not good enough? No, he's already very good, but it's a pity that there was a better point guard on the floor today.

At the start of the second half, Gobert re-entrenched the Mavericks' penalty area defense. Holding on to the three-second zone without giving an inch, Gobert fulfilled his promise to Yiyang and Durham Porter.

Redick, who had high hopes, finally began to score consecutive goals, but under Yiyang's terrifying suppression, Redick's goals did not play a substantial role in narrowing the difference.

The third quarter of the game was completely one-sided, and the Mavericks were all soldiers under Yiyang's organization, and everyone scored. On the Clippers' side, they can only rely on sporadic singles to maintain the increase in points.

As a result, by the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks had a 20-point lead over the Clippers. The Clippers, who were still wreaking havoc on this field the day before yesterday, are now being beaten to pieces.

Gobert's excellent defense is one of the reasons, but Yiyang's all-around play is the key to the Clippers' inability to hold their heads up.

Everyone was stunned, how could the same two teams perform so differently overnight? But isn't that the fun of the playoffs? The same team can give fans a different viewing experience in a series.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Yiyang only played for three minutes and clocked out directly. With a 23-point difference, even if Paul explodes today, he may not be able to move this score back.

When Yiyang was off the field, ESPN's data for Yiyang's game was played at the bottom of the screen. With 31 points, 13 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, Yiyang ushered in the second MVP trophy of his career with a triple-double performance when the game ended early.

"The 23-year-old Yiyang has become the youngest player in NBA history to win two MVPs! Even the "God of Basketball" of the year, Michael. Jordan, also at the age of nearly 30, finally won the honor of regular season MVP for the second time. Seeing Yiyang walking towards the stadium, and the fans all gave their warmest applause, Mike. Brin couldn't control his emotions anymore.

"You're getting carried away by the victory, Mike, hasn't the MVP winner yet been announced? What if, it's Durant who wins the award? "After listening to Mike. After Bryn's speech, Kevin Brown. Harlan asked, looking confused. It stands to reason that a veteran commentator like Brin wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

"What if? God, if that's any time, then this league is killing the best players! "Mike. Brin, however, did not consider his statement a mistake at all.
