Chapter 217: Gorgeous Collision

Holiday made a desperate save to allow the 76ers to successfully equalize the score, and the efforts of the No. 11 guard also allowed him to motivate his teammates.

Even a young man born in the 90s is fighting so hard, why are other seniors embarrassed not to help? So when the Mavericks attacked the 76ers hinterland again, Yiyang and his teammates clearly felt that the defensive intensity of this group of guys had increased to another level!

Holiday still adopts a tight defensive strategy against Yiyang, and if Yiyang forces a breakthrough, then his teammates behind him will also block it in time. Yiyang naturally saw the defensive level of the 76ers, in modern basketball, it is never about breaking through your own position, you can get a chance. With a systematic defensive strategy, players have fewer chances of getting open spots. What's more, Yiyang is now completely targeted by Collins.

So Yiyang didn't come by himself, but stopped outside the three-point line and made a few gestures.

Seeing this, Yiyang's teammates quickly ran away, and everyone on the 76ers team was focused, they didn't want the basketball to be sent to their opponents.

However, just when everyone was watching out for Yiyang's pass, Yiyang suddenly took two steps back, and then sprinted!

"Whoosh!" Almost instantly, Holiday saw the yellow "lightning" passing past him, and Yiyang gestured not to pass the ball, but to ask his teammates to pull him away from the single!

After reacting, Holiday hurriedly turned around and chased back, and the others quickly made up for the basket. It looks like Yiyang is like a beast caught in an encirclement. He was running as hard as he could, but around him a bunch of hunters with "shotguns" surrounded him.

If Yiyang wants to go to the basket now, he will inevitably be greatly disturbed. It can be said that all five of the 76ers are now shrinking to the basket.

But when Yiyang's own offense was in trouble, he created great opportunities for his teammates. I saw that Yiyang was surrounded by a bunch of people wearing the white jerseys of the 76ers, and the basketball came out of the pile.

No one knows how Yiyang saw the outside, but the basketball just happened to fall into the hands of Nowitzki, who was standing outside the three-point line. The Germans lived up to Yiyang's wonderful legend and calmly made a move. The 76ers, who hit a three-point shot in basketball and were about to catch up with the score, are now trailing by 5 points!

"Do you want to prevent him from breaking through or from passing him? Whoever can solve this problem first will be able to crack Yi's attack. But obviously, this kind of thing is very likely to wait until Yi retires, and his opponent can't figure it out. ”

Yiyang's third assist made the momentum of the 76ers' hard work be suppressed. But Holiday is not discouraged, if this Chinese can be defeated so easily, it will be too boring!

Ball exchange, 76ers offense. As soon as Holiday got the ball, the entire Phu Quoc Center Arena burst into cheers. This group of lifeless fans seems to have found a flashpoint. Evan. Turner may not be able to save the team, but Holiday can!

The No.11 defender passed the half with the fans cheering on, and with the experience of successfully passing Yiyang last time, Holiday is now a lot more confident.

Although Holiday is not consistent in shooting, his tall stature, fast breakthrough and left-handed jack-of-all-trades make him a constant threat to the opposing basket.

Holiday first handed the ball to Jodi. Meeks, last year's second-round pick, has been outstanding in recent times and has become one of the 76ers' indispensable offensive points.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for the 76ers, and they can't handle the heavy lifting of Turner, who they have worked so hard to get. Holiday was drafted with the 17th pick last year and Meeks with the 11th pick in the second round, but instead became the foundation of this team.

Meeks is averaging 10.5 points per game this season and 15.8 points per game in his last three games. Stevenson naturally can't be distracted by such an opponent.

Meeks has been attacking more and more with the ball recently, but this time, Meeks is just a transit point for the purpose of making the ball for Holiday .

Holiday cut to the basket, Meeks hit the ground and passed, Yiyang stretched out his arm and prepared to steal, but the basketball grazed his fingertips and successfully flew into Holiday hand.

Holiday did not hesitate after receiving the basketball, and went straight to the basket in three steps. Chandler quickly got to the basket and jumped up to block. And Yiyang, who also jumped from behind Holiday and formed a flanking attack with Chandler.

But in the air, Holiday pulled the ball down, switched to his left hand, and continued to make a layup.

Holiday did not have a skilled hand because he could be called skilled on both the left and right hands, and he used both hands well. This mid-air hand-changing layup was a breeze for Holiday at all.

Holiday dodged the Mavericks' interior defense gate Chandler and chased the mad Yiyang to successfully complete the layup, this picture made the 76ers fans can't help but give a standing ovation!

Even Reggie, who was sitting on the commentary stand. Miller couldn't help but clap his hands. This season, there are countless players who have died under the block of Chandler and Yiyang, and among them, there are even some super big names.

But Holiday lived out under the mouth of two beasts, and lived with ease.

"What am I talking about? This guy is crazy! Chandler complained again, but Yiyang was not irritable. This war has not yet reached the point of winning or losing, it has just begun!

Although the war between the two point guards has broken out in full swing, Yiyang did not go alone with Holiday and passed the ball to Peja early. Peja is more than just a goalscorer, he has a great passing skills. The Croatian striker, who had the advantage of his height, sent the ball over Iguodala's head to Nowitzki, who was in a position on the inside.

Dirk naturally won't let go of this opportunity to dig in the low post, but the 76ers' former All-Star forward Brand played quite tough this time. He tried hard to defend and didn't let Dirk advance half a step!

Nowitzki also came to his senses, and seeing that he couldn't push in, he turned over and leaned back.

Although Brand no longer has the edge he had back then, he is also a former All-Star level player. Nowitzki leaned back, and Brand took another step forward. This step allowed Dirk's shot to be completely blocked by Brand.

This face-to-face defense left Dirk staring at Brand's palm-print shot. Although for a player like Dirk, even if the view is blocked, he can still find the basket. The accuracy of the shots will also be affected somewhat.

The "German Chariot" successfully threw the ball, but the ball hit the left side of the basket and missed.

Seeing this, Hawes immediately jammed Chandler in an attempt to protect the defensive rebound. Just when the white center saw the time and was about to jump, Yiyang's figure suddenly jumped out, and the No. 1 guard grabbed the offensive rebound before Hawes, a center whose athleticism is not good, in a rushing jump!

"Good shot!" Although it was only a rebound, Kidd waved his arm in excitement. This guy is obviously much more motivated to fight for rebounds than before, and of course, the most commendable thing is that all this is done without violating the tactical requirements. Yiyang, this kid, learns things really fast!

After grabbing the rebound, Yiyang did not rush to attack directly, but ran out of possession of the ball, intending to reorganize. But just when Yiyang controlled the ball and ran halfway outside the three-point line, this guy suddenly knocked the basketball behind him, quickly turned around and regained control of the basketball, and killed a horse gun when no one reacted!

Holiday was stunned for a moment, then turned around and reached out to grab Yiyang. But when he turned around, Yiyang had already made a successful layup.

The funniest thing is Hawes, who sees Chandler running towards his own half, and this guy is a little confused and stunned. It wasn't until his teammates reminded him that he knew that Yiyang had scored.

Yi's sudden turn and killed the 76ers by surprise, and his performance today was outstanding. It seems that there are achievements in every aspect. The point difference has been opened up again, what will the 76ers do this time? ”

Every time Yiyang's attack ended, Holiday would tell himself that the next time it wouldn't be so easy for him. But every time, Yiyang will always break down Holiday defense in some unexpected but reasonable way.

Dozens of seconds later, the No. 11 guard made a stop-and-go jump shot on Yiyang's head. As was the case when Brand defended Dirk just now, Yiyang's defense had completely blocked Holiday from sight. However, the difference is that Nowitzki misses the shot with a heavy interference, and Holiday shoots the ball with Yiyang's interference.

Inspired by Collins, Holiday became very daring in the second quarter of the game, and it felt really good.

Holiday's tough goal against Yiyang's defense made fans addicted, but the 76ers fans didn't have long to be happy before Yiyang returned another one. This time, Yiyang used a fake fax action to trick Hawes into scoring an easy layup.

Collins shouted at Hawes' defense from the sidelines, but what good was that? Two points have been added to the scoreboard, and the 76ers are still behind as they look to tie the score.

The second quarter of the game between the two sides was played to the end under the gorgeous duel between Yiyang and Holiday , and at the end of the half, the score became 52-50. Holiday scored 13 points in a single quarter, much to the delight of 76ers fans. But why hasn't the team finished the comeback yet? Because Yiyang's performance of 11 points in a single quarter is also not bad.

While both teams' young defenders put on a frenzied display, it was clear that this was not the result that both coaches were keen to see. This is not an individual battle between Yiyang and Holiday but a collective battle about the rankings of the two teams. So unless the team wins, Carlisle and Collins won't be happy with anything.

"If that kind of form is maintained into the second half, then the 76ers will be the winners! The Mavericks' defense was still not tough enough, and perhaps they didn't expect the 76ers to rise up and fight back. But the truth is, they have to play the Spurs at the same level as they play against the Paid City 76ers! If not, the Mavericks will have a hard time pulling the score away. And if the score can't be opened, the 76ers will never let go! "Although the score is dominant, but Reggie. Miller makes a different point. He believes that the 76ers, playing at home, have actually taken the advantage.

After half-time, the two teams were still inseparable. Carlisle and Collins, two experienced managers, are also frowning. But Kidd didn't seem to be worried, and if he had to make a prediction, he would tell everyone.

"Holiday just looks on par with Yiyang, according to Yiyang's performance today...... The 76ers don't want to win! ”

It's a pity that only Kidd himself can hear this voice......
