Chapter 415: Just a Prelude

It's probably been a long time since the Energy Solutions arena has been so lively, and the Utah Jazz seem to have become the iron-blooded division again, making the fans here proud.

Before the game started, the stadium was already full of people. It was only yesterday that the Jazz beat the Miami Heat here. Now facing the Dallas Mavericks, they have no reason to lose at all!

Jazz fans seem to have forgotten that it wasn't the Heat Big Three who won the NBA championship last year......

The referee blew the whistle and tossed the basketball into the air. Brandon. Heywood relied on his height advantage and slapped the basketball into Yiyang's hands. The Mavericks were the first to attack, but the Jazz didn't panic and immediately set up their defense, intending to put the Mavericks in a tough fight from the start.

Yiyang originally wanted to pass the ball to Carter for a transition, but he saw that the exhausted Carter was pestered by his college teammate Hayward and couldn't run out of the receiving space at all.

Seeing this scene, Barkley on the commentary stage was a little nervous.

"There was a big problem with the fitness of the Mavericks players, and as soon as we started, we could clearly feel that the Mavericks were tired!" Kenny. Smith's words hit the nail on the head and hit Barkley's heart. If these guys continue to fight like this, they will have to prepare wigs in advance!

Yiyang saw that Carter had no chance, so he had to go it alone. He reached out to block it, and Heywood immediately blocked Harris's path. But Yiyang did not break through to the side where there was a block, but changed direction and pierced to the side that was not blocked.

Harris was deceived, and when he adjusted his focus to catch up again, Yiyang had already made a stop-and-go jump shot. Al. Jefferson and Paul. The two men teamed up to seal the box and protect defensive rebounds.

However, the basketball went into the net accurately, and Yiyang's first goal was scored cleanly.

"Yay! Well done! Good boy, that's amazing! Barkley danced and celebrated on the podium, looking even more excited than Yiyang. O'Neill, next to Barkley, cast a disdainful look.

"This is the NBA arena Charles, not Serie A! It's just a goal and look how excited you are. ”

While O'Neill and Barkley were arguing, Kenny. Smith suddenly pointed to the court in horror and shouted. "Also! His patch was so fast that the guy managed to cut through Al. Jefferson's Basketball! ”

O'Neal and Barkley hurriedly turned their heads, and at this time, Yiyang had already advanced beyond the opponent's three-point line with the ball.

After stepping into the free throw line, Yiyang directly lifted the basketball into the air. He stretched his body completely in the air, holding up the basketball as if he were a thunder god holding a hammer aloft.

In the next second, "Thor" smashed the ball into the frame, sending out a flash of lightning. After Yiyang landed, he gritted his teeth and hammered his chest, and then quickly retreated, 4 to 0!

Carlisle stood up happily, Yiyang's desire to score today is not common in normal times. This guy knew that his teammates were not very impressed today, and in order to win, he decided to take matters into his own hands!

Harris reorganized the offense, and he handed the basketball to Yiyang's friend Hayward. Hayward faced Carter's pressure and had no room to score, so he had to make another pass and hoist the ball to Millsap.

Millsap was only a second-round pick, and a large part of that was due to his short height. At 2.03 meters, he is too slow to play small forward, and too short to play big forward. This embarrassing height made no team think that he would be able to succeed in the NBA at that time.

However, Millsap's gradual progress with the Jazz has allowed him to become a star forward. In the face of Nowitzki's defense, Millsap first bowed and broke through. When Nowitzki stepped back, Millsap picked up another step-back jumper.

This set of moves Millsap completed very smoothly, and the basketball was able to brush Dirk's fingertips and bombard directly to the Mavericks' "command center". Nowitzki shook his hand in annoyance, he was a little too tired to keep up with Millsap's pace, otherwise, it would have been a big risk!

Looking at Millsap's excellent performance, Yiyang curled the corners of his mouth slightly. Is today's opponent you?

Millsap slowly ran to the backcourt, giving Jefferson a leisurely high-five. Just as this short inner line turned around, the smile on his face came to an abrupt end!

That Mavericks' No. 1 guard has already reached the three-point line!

"Yi's advance was so fast, he almost arrived at half court at the same time as the Jazz players who retreated!"

After the shock, Millsap quickly regained his composure. Yiyang's advancing speed is indeed terrifying, and he can take the ball across the half court so quickly. But what's the use? All five of the Jazz are here defending, and you don't have to wait for your teammates to come up, otherwise you won't be able to move an inch.

Just when Millsap was secretly proud, Yiyang broke through Harris and rushed in.

"Ho! A sudden acceleration from a sudden stop shook off the German. Harris. Poor Harris, his eyes must be full of the shadow of his youth! ”

Yiyang broke through, and the rest of the Mavericks also arrived, and except for Haywood, the other three stopped outside the three-point line to attract defense.

Al. Jefferson was closest to Nowitzki, so it was up to him to defend Nowitzki. The others wanted to stop Yiyang, but they also had to go outside the three-point line to defend their opponents. The horror of Yiyang's passing vision is well known, as long as you dare to leave a gap, Yiyang will definitely find out!

So, at this time, only the 2.03 meter Millsap was alone under the basket. He swallowed his saliva and opened his arms, ready to meet Yiyang's onslaught!

Yiyang did not slow down when facing Millsap who was defending the basket, but suddenly kicked his calf in the process of advancing at high speed, and the whole person rose into the air!

Seeing this, Millsap also jumped along, but his starting height and Yiyang were not on the same line at all!

The two collided violently in the air, but Yiyang, with the blessing of higher altitude and inertia, still pressed Millsap!

Yiyang, who was in the air, raised the basketball with both hands, and stubbornly withstood Millsap's defense, and scored directly with a strong dunk with both hands!

"Separate people and deduct them! Also, he humiliated Millsap severely! ”

"God, it's cruel! Even back then, I couldn't have done such a cruel thing! Barkley looked at Millsap and shook his head slightly. I believe that tonight's goal is enough for Millsap to remember for a lifetime.

The moment Yiyang's dunk ended, the Mavericks players raised their arms one by one. And on the Mavericks bench, the players are even more noisy. Even Yi Jianlian, an introverted guy, stood up and waved a towel with his teammates.

Carlisle vaguely noticed that the Mavericks' firepower seemed to be slowly recovering. The buckle of Yiyang just now seems to have ignited everyone's hearts!

"Damn it!" Millsap angrily picked up the basketball and slammed it to the ground. He did not expect that he would be detained by a Chinese in his lifetime. That guy just has a spring in the sole of his shoe, otherwise how would he have escaped gravity?

After putting on a very good dunk, if it was Carter, he would definitely use the "riding a motorcycle" celebration. If it was Kobe, he would definitely yell at the audience. If Westbrook had scored that goal, his celebration would have been a surprise to all expectations.

However, Yiyang still hammered his chest and continued to defend himself. Seeing this scene, the new Jazz coach Taylor. Corbin gasped.

That man, he's so cold-blooded!

Frustrated, Millsap wanted to keep scoring goals to save face, but Nowitzki's height advantage was putting him under pressure this time.

Under Nowitzki's pressure, Millsap's second turnaround jumper missed. Brandon. Hayward gave the ball to Yiyang again, but Yiyang still didn't mean to pass the ball, and rushed forward!

"See, Shaq, this is what you call a bad state! Look at it, how positive! I'm Cao, what is he doing!? ”

Before Barkley could finish talking to O'Neal, Yiyang's action made everyone stunned again.

I saw Yiyang leaning on Harris and forcing it into the three-second zone to go straight to the layup, but after the layup, he met Harris and Al. Jefferson's jump block.

Under this extremely tight defense, Yiyang's layup naturally missed. But Yiyang didn't give up, he relied on his faster speed to jump immediately twice, throwing himself to grab the ball to make up for the basket before Jefferson, the big center.

The audience was amazed, was this Chinese defender possessed by Kobe Bryant today!?

After Yiyang scored, he gritted his teeth and raised his fist. His celebration is still low-key, because this guy hasn't ushered in the moment of explosion yet.

Yiyang scored 8 points in a row, he was extremely crazy tonight, and he was extremely strong today!

Carlisle sat back in his seat with ease, his legs crossed.

"What, you're relieved?" Terry beside him. Stotts asked in surprise, the game had just begun! It's too early to relax.

"No, I'm just looking for a good spot to enjoy the crazy night." Carlisle said, turning his head to look at Stotts. "It's going to be a great night out buddy, enjoy it and don't get distracted!"
