It's not the first time Westbrook has tried the taste of "Chinese hot pot", in the regular season, Yiyang showed his Wade-style chasing risk on the "God ***".

But this time, Yiyang did not chase from behind, but forcibly defended Westbrook from the front. Westbrook is 1.91 meters tall, which is similar to Yiyang, who is 1.93 meters. Without occupying any height advantage, Yiyang was stunned to give the top five defenders in the league a head.

Westbrook couldn't believe what had just happened, and there weren't many interior players in the league who could cover him from the front, let alone a point guard. However, no matter how incredible it may seem in retrospect, it just happened.

Yiyang's block and Terry's goal gave the Mavericks a four-point lead. As soon as the game began, the Mavericks showed the domineering that the home team should have. This group of "cowboys" does not intend to give the Thunder, the Young Guard, any respite.

Reluctantly, Westbrook ran back, took the baseline ball, and then pushed in again. As soon as this guy crossed the halfway line, Yiyang, the "hound", was like seeing a bone, and he clenched Westbrook tightly.

Westbrook intends to use his physical advantage to find opportunities, but no matter how much Westbrook pushes, no matter how he charges. After Yiyang is pushed away or knocked away, he will quickly make up for the defense.

Westbrook was entangled and he was in trouble. God, how many hands are there, because in my opinion, a defender of his stature can't stop Westbrook with his arms alone. "Kenny. Smith has always been clear that Yiyang, who studied under Kidd, is very good defensively. But to make it difficult to defend a shock defender like Westbrook is still beyond Kenny. Smith's expectations.

Westbrook stopped sharply to change direction, and then held Yiyang with one hand, trying to break through directly. In the past, Westbrook has always had a chance to break through by doing so.

But Yiyang quickly shook off Westbrook's arm and stepped forward to stop Westbrook, who had just picked up. The bodies of the two collided violently again, and even Westbrook, a guy with a "body of steel", felt a faint pain, but it was clear that Yiyang, who was slightly emaciated, must be even more uncomfortable at the moment!

But Yiyang didn't take half a step back, he just gritted his teeth and continued to entangle Westbrook's side. Even if O'Neal stands outside the three-point line today, Yiyang will not be afraid.

There was no way, Westbrook had to pass the ball to Durant, who came out to pick it up. After receiving the ball, Durant dribbled a step and directly held the ball for a three-step layup, this guy's pace was so big that he threw off Marion and stepped into the three-second zone in a few steps.

In the face of Chandler's supplemental defense, Durant did not rely on brute force, but on skill. I saw that No. 35, who was wearing a blue jersey, raised his long arm high, pressed his wrist lightly, and pushed the basketball out softly.

The orange ball grazed Chandler's palm and flew towards the basket before hollowing into the net. The Thunder finally broke the scoring drought and scored the first goal of the game.

But Westbrook, who completed the assist, couldn't be happy, because in this round, he was completely restricted to death by Yiyang!

Before the start of the game, Westbrook didn't expect Yiyang to be so difficult. Although Yiyang is the double winner of the Best Sixth Man Award and the Best Rookie Award this season. But Westbrook, a Grizzlies known for their defense, has come down, and he doesn't take the Mavericks' defense to heart. This guy was thinking about getting a high score today. After all, Yiyang's physical disadvantages are so obvious.

And yet now......

Before Westbrook could think about it, Yiyang had already killed him in front of him. This No. 0 defender of the Russian city gritted his teeth, making my attack not go well, and you don't want to score easily!

And so, what the fans were eager to see happened. I saw that Westbrook tried hard to stick to it, and he didn't even give space for passing the ball easily. The physical contact between the two became more and more frequent, and the movements became more and more extensive. This pair of matchups that were hyped up before the game are really on the bar!

But Westbrook overlooked that Yiyang wasn't as sticky as he was. This kind of oppressive defense sometimes doesn't have much impact on Yiyang.

Nowitzki came up and Yiyang skilfully walked past the German. Westbrook's ability to defend pick-and-roll is actually not good, and he forced to squeeze with Nowitzki, which delayed the fighter.

It's impossible for Ibaka to watch Yiyang break through so easily, there is no way, the Congolese have to change their defenses, and the moment they cross in front of Yiyang, it becomes an African mountain.

Seeing that Ibaka was taken away by Yiyang, Nowitzki cut to the basket after the blocking. Yiyang used a behind-the-back pass to Nowitzki, who cut in from his side.

Ibaka immediately took another step sideways and returned to the middle, intent on stopping Dirk. But Nowitzki is not the kind of man who only hits the basket, he suddenly threw the basketball high and threw it to the basket, and at the same time, Ibaka, who was rushing to make up the defense, slapped Nowitzki's hand.

Nowitzki's soft touch allowed him to hit the shot, and the referee blew his own whistle just as the basketball crashed into the net. Ibaka defended a foul, Nowitzki hit two points validly, and he had to add a free throw!

Seeing this, Nowitzki waved his arm vigorously. People say that the Germans are a "soft egg", but look at the present, there is nothing the tough Ibaka can do with him at all!

"Well passed, boy!" In addition to the excitement, Nowitzki did not forget to high-five Yiyang to show his gratitude. In Westbrook's opinion, this scene is so dazzling. His defense, failed again!

Dirk stepped onto the free throw line, and the U.S. Route Center Arena, which had just been shaken, cooled down instantly. Tens of thousands of fans at the scene did not dare to speak out, for fear of disturbing the rhythm of Nowitzki's free throws.

Nowitzki, with blonde hair, took a deep breath and patted his basketball. The champion of the West, must be won this year!

Nowitzki bent his knees slightly, then raised his center of gravity, raised the basketball, and pressed his wrist to shoot.

The basketball hollow fell into the frame, and it felt like it hadn't even touched the net. A perfect free throw to keep the Mavericks ahead. And the environment, which was extremely quiet just now, was instantly drowned out by the sound of Mavericks fans.

"Conduct the ball, do a good job of the ball!" Brooks was dancing on the sidelines, and Westbrook knew the coach was saying it to himself. Obviously, Brooks didn't want Westbrook to continue to entangle with Yiyang like this.

Westbrook looked at Yiyang in front of him with outstretched arms, although he was still very eager to face Yiyang directly. However, under the supervision of the head coach, the number 0 defender still passed the ball.

This time, the ball was passed to the "Swiss Army Knife" Sephorosa, who, like the Mavericks' Stevenson, was a typical defensive wing. Therefore, Terry did not have to press too hard, but let the Swiss take a few steps to prevent the opponent from breaking through.

Sephorosa was about to pass the ball to Durant, only to find Marion following behind. He looked at Westbrook again, and Yiyang was even more like a ghost beside the No. 0 defender.

Westbrook used several counter-runs, and even secretly pushed and shoved with Yiyang. But no matter what he does, Yiyang just doesn't give up, biting himself just doesn't let go.

There was no way, Seferrosa had to hoist the ball into the inside and let Ibaka try to dig in first.

With his back to Nowitzki, Ibaka still feels confident. After all, Nowitzki is notoriously "soft" on the defensive end. As long as he can advance to the midway of the three-second zone, Ibaka will be able to shoot confidently.

So, the strong Congolese began to lean on Nowitzki to push under the basket. First time! Ibaka was so powerful that Nowitzki couldn't parry it at all and took a big step back.

In the second shot, Ibaka deliberately lightened some of his forces to confuse Nowitzki's defense. Hardness is not the most effective way to play with your back to your back, but it is the most effective way to confuse the defender. Don't look at Ibaka's strong body, but this guy's basketball IQ is not low.

In the third time, Ibaka used all his strength to go to the next one! Nowitzki's defense completely collapsed, and seeing this, Ibaka held the ball on the spot and prepared to shoot!

Just as the Congolese turned around and was about to shoot, a downward force cut the basketball from Ibaka's hand. In the air, Ibaka caught a glimpse of the number 1 on the back of the Mavericks jersey. That guy, when did you get the bag!?

Not to mention Ibaka, even Nowitzki doesn't know when Yiyang came over! That stinky boy's ability to read defense is beyond everyone's imagination! The perfect combination of speed and mind allowed Yiyang to easily snatch the basketball from Ibaka's hands without warning!

What happens after a steal? Full speed ahead, of course! Durant tried to intercept Yiyang near the halfcourt line, but Yiyang flashed past Durant with a smooth back change of hands that barely slowed down and paused at high speed.

But after passing Durant, the Swiss Sephorosa was leaning towards Yiyang from the side. Meanwhile, Westbrook was already hurtling to the basket and ready to block the layup. It seems that Yiyang's fast attack is destined to fail.

However, Yiyang did not stop his steps. His right hand slammed the ball to the left, followed by a shoulder sink, as if intending to break to the left! Sephorosa, who is known for his defense, naturally won't be passed so easily, he hurriedly moved a step sideways, trying to block Yiyang's breakthrough route, and the Mavericks' fast attack ended here!

However, Yiyang is not as simple as Sephorosa thinks. Just as the basketball bounced back from the floor, Yiyang's right hand reached out to the left side of the basketball, and then pulled the ball vigorously to the right! At the moment when the change of direction was completed, Yiyang lowered his center of gravity, kicked the ground, and pressed his legs hard!

"Whoosh!" Sephorosa's long hair fluttered slightly, and the Swiss stared wide. With just one hand, Yiyang completed a rapid change of direction in front of the body! Two quick and consistent changes of gravity left the Swiss at a loss! He was stunned, and by the time Sephorosa reacted and turned around again, Yiyang had already reached the three-second zone.

At the moment, there is only one Westbrook guarding the basket. This No. 0 defender is also full of energy, and intends to return the cover that was completed from the front to Yiyang in this round. With the advantage of physical fitness, Westbrook is full of confidence in this!

Yiyang was also unequivocal, jumping high in the face of Westbrook's defense. In the air, Yiyang also stretched out his body, as if he was planning to stage a good show of separating people!

"Come on, rookie!" Westbrook is the best at it, and his bounce height and speed are even slightly better than Yiyang's.

The two rivals collided again in the air, and Westbrook stretched out his arm, and the basketball was so close to him!

Just as Westbrook's arm was about to fan towards the basketball, Yiyang, who was holding the basketball high, suddenly took it to his waist. He then took the ball and wrapped his arms behind his back and stuffed the ball from behind into Nowitzki's hands as he followed.

The ball was passed very comfortably, and it was just right. Nowitzki didn't have to make any adjustments after receiving the basketball, and jumping directly was a two-handed dunk!

"Oh my God, this ball was passed very imaginatively! The most important thing is that there was no mistake, but an assist! "Kenny. Smith was completely stunned, from top to bottom, front to back. Yiyang's pass under the physical confrontation was very complicated, but the accuracy did not decrease at all.

Nowitzki let go, and the basketball hoop was finally able to "straighten" his waist. After that, the "lion" with long blond hair roared towards the stands behind the basket!

At this moment, Nowitzki is a dangerous male lion on the African savannah, and his roar makes everyone shudder. Now, do you still dare to say that he is a "soft egg"?

Once his emotions were vented, Nowitzki began to run back, ready to retreat. In the process of retreating, Nowitzki raised his hand again and high-fived Yiyang. These two guys caused huge trouble for the Thunder today.

A 2-7, 5-point margin is not a big one in a basketball game. But the rhythm of the whole game was firmly held in the palm of the hand by the Mavericks.

The big man No. 41 and the yellow-skinned guard No. 1 walked side by side, seemingly forming a wall that would be insurmountable for the Thunder.

Before the game, people were talking about how amazing the twin stars of Westbrook and Durant were. But look at the present, who is suppressing whom?

One of the most underrated duos may break through the shackles today!
