Chapter 482: Three people, together
The arena at the American Route Center was full of buzz, and the fans did not cheer for Nowitzki or applaud James. What they were shouting was a Chinese name.
"This kind of grand occasion has never been seen in the history of the NBA, and a Chinese has become the most high-profile star among a group of top basketball players!" Even Yao back then did not have such treatment. Because the number one star of the Houston Rockets that year was Francis and Tracy. ”
"Although Yao is very great, you have to admit that Yi's achievements have surpassed his predecessors. He's won an NBA championship ring, he's won a slam dunk contest, he's won the Rookie of the Year award, and he's won honors like Sixth Man of the Year. Now, he has even begun to attack the MVP! Such a result is definitely worthy of the shouts of the fans. ”
Yiyang's shocking "blocking the net" made him win a full house. Now not only the fans, but even some commentators who were not optimistic about him at the beginning were deeply impressed by Yiyang's performance. In the past, people said that James was unstoppable after rushing up to speed, but now Yiyang has told everyone that James is not invulnerable.
Basketball, like fighting, can sometimes determine a lot of things. Yiyang's success in defending James in this one-on-one undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Forest players. Let them know that James can also be defended, and the strongest small forward in the world does not take advantage of Yiyang, so the Heat team is the same in front of our Mavericks!
Before the scrum, Yiyang gave a look at the card. Carter, who was on his knees with his hands, nodded slightly, and Yiyang's performance made the veteran full of motivation now.
The referee sandwiched between James and Yiyang finally blew the whistle and tossed the basketball high. James jumped a little later than Yiyang, but this slight gap was enough to distinguish the winner from the loser.
"Yi's jumping ability is really terrifying, and it is not inferior to LeBron! He also flicked the ball into the hands of Carman behind him, and he managed to win the ball for the team, and he stopped James's inevitable attack! ”
After Carman received the basketball, he immediately handed it to Yiyang. At the same time, the Heat's players retreated like crazy. They all know how terrible Yiyang's ability to drive straight into the basket is, and if they don't want to be sneak attacked, the best way is to quickly retreat.
However, Yiyang didn't sprint as hard as one might think. You may be able to defend faster than me, but not as fast as my passes!
I saw Yiyang hit the ground and passed before half the court, and the basketball slammed into the floor and then quickly rebounded, passing through the crowd at a very fast ball speed.
The Heat players turned their heads to follow the trajectory of the basketball, and when the basketball passed through Wade's legs, people suddenly realized that it was Vince . Carter has run into the box!
"When did he run up!?" Mike. Brin's eyes widened, and this question was also a question that everyone in the room had.
Carter didn't even bend down before the basketball flew into his hands just right. For a ground-hitting pass that runs through the entire half, the accuracy of that pass is incredible.
Carter received the basketball, and there was no defender around him who could react. So this former "demigod" threw himself into the air and once again enjoyed the thrill of flying in the sky.
Carter concentrated all his strength on his right arm, and the basketball was slammed into the basket. At that moment, the audience woke up suddenly, and it turned out that Carter's dunk was still so exciting.
"Haha, the old flying man has reappeared in the rivers and lakes! With Carter's dunk on the ball, could there be anything better than that? ”
After the goal, Carter didn't use his classic "ride a motorcycle" celebration, the old man with a gray beard just laughed and pointed at Yiyang, thanking him for his pass.
Through the slow-motion replay, people realized that as early as when the referee tossed the basketball high, Carter had already started to run to the front court. So the question is, how did Carter know that Yiyang would definitely be able to fight for the ball?
No, maybe he doesn't know if Yiyang can get the ball smoothly. It's just that when Yiyang winked at him, he chose to trust.
An incredible block, a pass as precise as an intercontinental missile. Yiyang's highlight performance in two consecutive rounds has pushed the Mavericks' combat power to the maximum. Now, both the aging Nowitzki and the sluggish Carman are gearing up to continue to give the Heat some color.
In the subsequent attack of the Heat, Yiyang continued to successfully defend against James, and then forced Wade into a desperate situation.
The deterioration of "The Flash's" athleticism in the past two years is very obvious, and now he relies more on experience and skill to play, and the once lightning-fast breakthrough Hey rock-shattering aerial operations are now rarely seen.
So this time, when Wade tried to get rid of Yiyang through the pick-and-roll, he found that he couldn't get rid of the No. 1 guard who stuck to him like kraft candy no matter what.
Yiyang's defense against Wade is really inseparable, and Yiyang's excellent performance not only inspired him to motivate his teammates, but also ignited his own fighting spirit.
It is precisely under the drive of this unyielding fighting spirit that Yiyang was able to bypass Bosh's blocking and dismantling again and again and recross in front of Wade.
There was no way, and Wade, who was unsuccessful in his singles, had to rush out the ball at the last moment. Now, however, the Heat don't have time to run the game. Mike. Miller forced a shot from beyond the three-point line and only got a shot-iron finish.
Chris. Carman easily protected the rebound in Spoelstra's lineup without a center, and the Heat's offense failed again, and the Mavericks told everyone with practical actions that if the Heat didn't send an all-main lineup, we would definitely lose!
Spoelstra anxiously kept tapping on the tactical board, at first he didn't care about winning, but now, it's the Heat who can't move an inch in the center of the American route!
Filipinos are now starting to rejoice that Miami is part of the East Coast.
In the second quarter of the game, the Heat's offense repeatedly hit a wall under the defense of the high-morale Mavericks. And Yiyang led a group of excited teammates and played a gorgeous offensive coordination.
Ultra-long-distance long pass, no looking at the back of the person, air relay, fake fax on the ...... Yiyang's performance dazzled the commentators and fans at the scene, and while connecting the team's offense, Yiyang himself also used his super scoring ability to push the team forward.
Spoelstra tried his best, but to his despair, he found that the situation today was strikingly similar to that of two years ago!
Nowitzki is indeed old, and the main champions such as Kidd, Terry, Chandler, and Stephenson have also left the Mavericks. But the rise of Yiyang has undoubtedly relieved the Mavericks.
The game entered the final two minutes, and the Mavericks still held the lead, and the excited singing in the stands continued to end. It wasn't until James squeezed through Carman with his steely body to complete the layup that the Heat struggled to equalize the score.
Wade has done little under Yiyang's defense, while Bosh seems to be focused on the defensive end and doesn't have a high desire to score.
The game really turned into a personal battle between Yiyang and James, and everyone else couldn't intervene for a variety of reasons.
But for now, Yiyang's performance is more comprehensive. At least he was on the field, and he completely brought the whole team to life.
In the last two minutes, Spoelstra put all the focus of his defense on Yiyang. On the offensive end, they have the omnipotent James, but on the defensive end, they can't continue to let Yiyang do whatever he wants.
Wade defended up front, and James and Bosh waited for an opportunity to assist. The Heat team has laid a wide net, just waiting for Yiyang to come in.
Yiyang slowly controlled the ball, and although the score was equalized by the Heat at the critical moment, he did not panic because of this. I saw this No. 1 defender, looking left and right, as if he was watching the defense, and at the same time reading the movement of his teammates.
As the second quarter of the game began to take the Heat team suddenly seriously, the other veterans of the Mavericks played quite hard. Nowitzki, Carman, Marion, and Carter...... These people don't seem to be able to run anymore, and they keep running back and forth in a fast pace in this game, and the physical exertion is really high.
At this critical moment, if the ball is handed over to these tired "old people", I am afraid they will not be very sure. What's more, now they don't have any decent opportunities at all.
So Yiyang beckoned and called Nowitzki to come and cover. This guy wants to challenge the joint defense of the Big Three!
First of all, Wade's level, Yiyang lowered his center of gravity and dribbled alternately with his left and right hands, confusing Wade's center of gravity. After Nowitzki blocked and dismantled, Yiyang suddenly knocked the ball to the right side of the block, ready to break through with the block.
Wade didn't have time to hesitate, he immediately bypassed the block and hoped to get in front of Yiyang in time. Seeing Wade move his steps, Yiyang smiled slightly, he was deceived!
Seeing that he was about to break through with Nowitzki's blocking, Yiyang suddenly changed direction, changed his direction in an instant, and rushed to the side where there was no blocking.
Wade was completely shaken away by Yiyang's great change of direction, he lost his defensive position, and was swept away!
The audience exclaimed, there are not many people in this world who can make Wade so clean. But the challenge wasn't over yet, as James had already pounced on Yiyang with his teeth and claws.
Although James's defense is very decisive, he actually has some concerns. If Yiyang chooses to pass the ball to Marion, then Marion will have a very good shooting opportunity.
Therefore, James kept a hand, he did not pounce on Yiyang with all his strength, but was ready to turn around and defend at any time.
Yiyang saw that James's defense was a little sluggish, so he continued to accelerate, intending to rush through the level.
James was amazed that Yiyang could still speed up, and he immediately stepped forward in a hurry, trying to catch up with Yiyang before he overtook him.
After James rushed forward with all his might, Yiyang, who was moving at high speed, immediately changed his pace. He turned around lightly with James as the axis, making him disappear from James' eyes in an instant like a cloud of smoke.
A beautiful quick turn allowed Yiyang to pass James. Facing Bosh next, Yiyang instantly became a lot more confident.
He took a step to the left with the ball in both hands, and it looked like he was going to take three steps to the basket. After Bosh moved, Yiyang's second part stepped to the right!
Bosh didn't have time to react, so he could only reach out in despair to cover Yiyang. However, Yiyang was not disturbed at all, and with a light pick, the basketball grazed the rebound and fell into the net.
"Three people in a row! Haha, it also passed the defense of the Big Three and scored with an easy pick! Oh my God, who else can stop him, and who else can stop him from taking the MVP trophy!? ”
"The Big Three of the Heat can't do anything if they work together, he's so good, his dribbling is simply an art!"
Seeing Yiyang landing lightly and applauding himself happily, Wade sighed, times have really changed.
Yiyang's goal just now was not so much a European step, but more like Wade's own "lost step". The arc of the action is not as large as the European step, but it is faster and more determined.
And it's obviously quite difficult for you to get Wade to do a lost step layup. Because of his explosiveness and speed, there is no way to support him to complete such an action.
Yiyang's good play of scoring three goals in a row made Spoelstra's eyes widen. He tried his best, but he still couldn't stop the Chinese from scoring.
All three of the Heat's superstars fell silent, standing still, unable to believe what they were seeing.
When the three of them work together and can't defend against the next opponent, you can see how much the Heat's morale has suffered.
The game continued, and the Mavericks only regained their lead by two points. But psychologically, the Miami Heat, who are the first in the league, he has already lost......
