Dirk. Nowitzki hit a three-pointer to widen the gap between the two teams to nine points in the opening game. Mark. Jackson had to call a timeout early, and his players were completely blinded by the Mavericks' onslaught. If it continues to be let go, with a score of 11-0 and 12-0, the Mavericks will not be unable to play.

The spotlight was on Dirk, who scored seven points in a row and seemed to be back in 2011, when he was omnipotent.

However, at the end of the bench that no one paid attention to, Yiyang had a faint smile on his face. Assist Dirk to hit a three-pointer, I don't know why, it's always his most comfortable moment on the court.

Seeing Dirk come out of the shadows and play such a good form against the Warriors, Yiyang is also delighted. How did the Mavericks' championship road lack Dirk's strength?

The timeout ended quickly, and there were no substitutions on the Warriors' side. Actually, Mark. Jackson also had no one to change in his hands. Whether it's Speights or Drummond. Green, neither of these two short interior linemen on the Warriors' bench has much of a limiting effect on Dirk in terms of height. Carlisle would love to see it, Mark. How the hell is Jackson going to curb Nowitzki's play.

The Warriors' offense after coming up ended in iron, and Curry's mid-range encounter with Yiyang's face-sealing defense hit the iron again. This is already the second shot Curry has missed today, and Yiyang's tight defense did not give Curry any space. It seems that the Warriors don't even have the slightest room to fight back.

The two sides switched offense and defense, Carlisle looked at the field, and it turned out that Mark. Jackson's arrangement was just to make Jermaine 2.11m. O'Neill stayed by Dirk's side. O'Neill Jr. is indeed better than David. Li is a lot taller, but now that he wants to guard against Dirk, he can't help but think of the Germans too simply.

But when Nowitzki received the basketball again and prepared to attack, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought. See Dirk with the ball, David. Lee immediately grabbed it. One can't guard against it, Mark. Jackson sent two men!

"Double bag, very tight defense, Dirk doesn't have a chance to play!"

Nowitzki struggled to keep possession after the two guarded hard, and he was just about to pass the ball back to Yiyang, David. Li stretched out his hand and stabbed the basketball away, which can be regarded as revenge for being robbed just now.

"The Warriors' tactics were very successful, and Dirk was a bit scrambled against the pack defense. The Warriors fought back, and Curry gave the ball to Klay. Thompson, Tony. Before Allen had time to catch up, Clay directly chased after the three-point shot! Beautiful, three-point shot! That's the Warriors' ball, and they're amazing from beyond the three-point line! It seems that after a timeout, the Warriors did come back to their senses. O'Neal let out a big sigh, if the Warriors were defeated so easily, wouldn't the bulls he bragged about two days ago all be gibberish? Although they are actually just gibberish.

Despite being caught in one pack, Dirk is still the Mavericks' most important offensive point. When his turn-over jumper was met by David. When Lee and O'Neal Jr. blocked and struck, Carlisle gestured to the court.

Yiyang knew it was time to play on his own.

Dirk. Nowitzki dragged back with a heavy pace, and by the time Yiyang had already run back to his own half and stood with his arms outstretched, Dirk had just crossed the halfway line. From his steps, you can clearly see the traces of time. After all, this guy will turn 36 in two months.

At the age of 36, it is definitely an advanced age among professional players. No matter how great a star is, at the age of 36, dominance will inevitably decline.

You might say that Dirk's average per game this season is as good as it has been in a decade or so, and that's right. But data is data, and a player's dominance of the game is not necessarily reflected by data.

In 2011, this level of packing may only have slowed Dirk's scoring streak. But today, in 2014, Dirk was a little overwhelmed when facing the bag.

Luckily, Carlisle didn't have to worry too much. Because the current Dallas Mavericks don't need Dirk to dominate the game.

The task of dominating the game is usually entrusted to Yiyang.

Stephen. Curry swears with his health that he's never seen such a terrifying defense. When Lillard was forced to say the classic "this kind of defense is something I have never seen at any time in my career", Curry also thought that Lillard, a rap kid, was talking about it.

But at present, it is indeed difficult for Yiyang to get it after entering the playoffs.

There was no way, Curry had to resort to the "elevator door" tactic in order to get rid of the defense.

But this time, when David. When Lee and O'Neal Jr. closed the "elevator door", the referee's whistle sounded in time.

Sure enough, the offense was fouled. When Mark. As Jackson's elevator door tactics grew hotter, the league could no longer sit idly by with this apparent moving cover. Occasionally, once or twice, the referee can turn a blind eye. But the whole game relied on fouls to score goals, and the referee could not allow such a thing to happen.

Now, the elevator door tactic has been blocked by the Alliance. Curry wants to get rid of Curry today, and it seems that he has to find another way.

The Mavericks re-attacked, and Nowitzki still suffered from David. Lee and O'Neill Jr.'s strict defense. Dirk has been attacking with the ball for several rounds in a row, and it seems that everyone on the Warriors has forgotten one thing. Nowitzki is only the Mavericks' second-leading scorer this season. After the top scorer dunked in the opening game, he kept "playing dead".

Yiyang gradually slowed down his pace as he approached the three-point line, as if he was observing his teammate's movement and seemed to be passing the ball.

Iguodala came out of the crowd, and Yiyang turned his head to look at the strong No. 9, but suddenly accelerated without warning!

"Whoosh!" Curry only felt a gust of wind hanging, and Yiyang disappeared. Turning his head, Yiyang had already killed in the three-second zone.

Thanks to O'Neill Jr. and David. Lee is wrapped around Dirk, so the Warriors' basket is unguarded for the time being. This fleeting opportunity is more than enough for Yiyang, who is as fast as lightning.

David. Li Gang just started to move to the basket, but Yiyang's tomahawk dunk was already completed. The force of this dunk was so strong that the basketball hoop couldn't stop shaking. Yiyang's dunk is like this, with both height and strength. There is both an ethereal aesthetic and a violent aesthetic.

The Warriors' defense lasted only two rounds after the timeout before breaking down again! Defend against Dirk. Nowitzki can't make the Warriors' situation any safer, because the Mavericks are no longer Dirk's team right now.

Four years after entering the league, he has already become a superstar. At the beginning, the calf used Cuarón. When Butler and the draft picks went to bet on this kid, no one thought he could do that.

An Asian defender who is still emaciated without three points was originally considered inferior to Spain's Ricky. Rubio. At that time, when the Mavericks decided to trade, it was widely believed that the Cuban guy was a bad brain.

And yet now......

Curry is still looking for opportunities, but Yiyang still doesn't give an inch. Curry, who does not have any physical advantage, is not easy to break through Yiyang. If you want to shoot, you can't get space to shoot.

In fact, when the Warriors were beaten 9-0 just now, in addition to Dirk's fierce offense, Yiyang's defense was also an important reason for the Warriors to fall into passivity. It's just that just now, Dirk's light was too dazzling for people to ignore this.

It's only now, when the spotlight returns to the Mavericks' true star that people realize just how amazing his defense is.

There was no way, Curry hit the ball to Klay. However, Clay faced Tony. Allen, the pressure is much less than Curry's.

In the end, it was David. Lee's jumper to the mid-range saved the Warriors' offense. But by David. Lee, will the Warriors really make it to the end?

The Warriors still have a bag on Dirk, but they don't dare to let anyone come up and bag Yiyang. Once the bag is formed, the Warriors will not be able to defend successfully, but rather a defensive hole.

Yiyang's passing is amazing, and the biggest reason why he was selected with the third pick was because of his incredible passing ability. Rashly wrapping up, he can only add an assist to Yiyang.

But after four seasons of experience, Yiyang's current scoring ability is not much worse than passing.

Curry stuck to Yiyang as much as he could, intending to interfere with Yiyang's dribbling with endless physical contact. But basketball seems to be one with Yiyang, shuttling freely between his hands.

Yiyang An safely handed the ball to Iguodala, an emerging force to be reckoned with on both ends of the floor this season.

handed over the basketball, Yiyang cut in empty-handed, and Curry chased after him.

Just when Yiyang had already stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, the No. 1 guard suddenly stopped suddenly, quickly turned around, and ran outside the three-point line. An extremely sudden counter-run, Yiyang's off-ball attack was also very brilliant.

His never-ending running and stop-and-go counter-runs all remind people of the classical guard of the Pistons back then, Richard Brown. Masked Man. You can't run to death. Hamilton.

In the 04 Lakers and Pistons Finals, even Kobe Bryant was tortured enough by Hamilton's running. And in the 2011 Western Conference Finals, this No. 1 guard also made the "Black Mamba" miserable.

Pocket out to receive the basketball, Curry is still one step away at this time. Yiyang stared at the basket and was about to shoot, but Curry threw his whole person directly, only in this way could it be possible to form interference.

However, when Curry jumped at full strength, he realized that he was the stupidest idiot of the ten people on the court.

This has to mention another specialty of Yiyang, the feint of worshipping Buddha.

How many people have flown over the Buddha worship in Yiyang? According to nonsense estimates, all the point guards in this league have been flown by Yiyang. His realistic Buddha worship action made Tony in the training ground. Aaron is often deceived. And Tony. Allen is already the best outside guard in the league.

deceived Curry, and Yiyang entered the inside line. Clay stepped sideways to get ready to interfere, but Yiyang didn't make a jumper. The experienced O'Neal Jr. stood between the free throw line and the basket to block Yiyang, but Yiyang didn't fly up and jump on his own.

In front of O'Neal Jr., Yiyang casually threw the ball in the direction of the basket. Is it an air relay? No, neither Dirk nor Dareham Porter are the kind of interior linemen who can make a smooth air connection. Yiyang's careless throw is actually a throw.

The ball went over O'Neal Jr.'s fingers and fell backwards, crashing into the net with precision. Big O'Neal on the commentary stage shook his head, maybe only Paul and Parker's throws in this league can catch up with Yiyang's elegance.

Basketball goes into the net, 13-3. The Warriors struggled, but in the end, they couldn't stop the margin from reaching double digits.

Attacking with the ball, running without the ball, precise passing, fancy breaks, iron-clad defense...... Historically, it's rare to see all of these qualities in a single point guard. Nash may be good enough to pass the ball, but his iron-clad defense doesn't have anything to do with him. Iverson may be impactful, but his off-ball offensive threat is not as great.

Four years ago, no one could have imagined that Yiyang would become such an all-round point guard. Guarding Nowitzki is just the tip of the iceberg of containing the Mavericks. The current calf has long been carried on Yiyang's shoulders!

The current Mavericks are a team that belongs to Yiyang. Nowitzki plays the role of assisting Yiyang more often.

In the Center Arena of American Airlines, never underestimate the fighting power of that German, who will always defend the land of Dallas as long as he is still here.

As for Yiyang, he wasn't just content to defend. This guy wants to snatch all the honor of the world to Dallas with his own hands!

Yiyang and Dirk have both shown their terrifying strength today, and the Black Eight Miracle of the Warriors has no chance of succeeding under the obstruction of these two guys.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Warriors fell into passivity. Yiyang and Dirk, it is impossible to let the Mavericks go through darkness again......
