Chapter 775: Iron Wall

Rudy. Gobert, who entered the league in 2013, is now just a sophomore rookie. But Rudy is more of a championship-caliber center than Mozgov.

It's true that he doesn't have a good feel and can't open up space for the team like Yao Ming or Loaf Lefou. He also doesn't have the skills to dangle in the three-second zone like Olajuwon. At the same time, Gobert is not like O'Neal and Chamberlain, who can easily be limited on the offensive end.

Perhaps it is for these reasons that Gobert, who originally had high expectations for himself, was not selected until the 27th pick. You know, 13 years is still a draft year. The 27th pick in the first round and the second-round picks in other years are not much different.

The result? As a result, he is now the "suffocating tower" of the Dallas Mavericks. He may not be able to attack, he may not have a good touch and superb technique, but his blocking has made opponents return again and again.

Andre. Iguodala, the star player who is least like a star. A strange man with the strength of a leading star, but with the heart of a role player.

Respond, defend, cover...... As long as you don't ask him to score, he'll do anything. The strong Iguodala has been a top-notch figure on the defensive end, and Warriors coach Steve Brown. Cole has never hidden his affection for Iguodala. But such a strong player now only wants to play for the Dallas Mavericks.

Tony. Allen, when you first met him, you probably didn't even know how this guy got into the NBA. No shooting, no scoring, no dazzling flower-wearing steps. As an outsider, you don't even know what else he can do. But once you start defending, you can see Tony. Aaron was shining. The never-ending entanglement, the never-give-up floorball scramble, the superstars are at a loss, and at the age of 32 this year, he was once again selected as the best defensive team! Tony. Allen is very popular in Memphis, but right now, he's undoubtedly the darling of Dallas.

Dwayne. Wade, whose knee injury makes him not as good as he was back then, but the experience accumulated over the years of hard work in the league has given him a very strong ability to predict. Judging the opponent's next move in advance and reacting to it, Wade's defense is not easy for everyone to break through.

However, Yiyang, he is more like a combination of the above four people. Top anticipation ability, terrifying blocking ability, always able to entangle the opponent and never give up, and was selected as the best defensive team for the third year in a row! It's hard to imagine that a yellow-skinned, dark-haired guy can do his best outside defense in the NBA, a league of birds and beasts.

Kobe Bryant said he enjoyed playing against Yiyang the most, and Lillard claimed that Yiyang's defense was something he had never seen in his career. Paul is also used to the fact that he can only be selected for the second defensive team.

Each of the above five people, when taken out, can become the defensive pillar of a team. But the scary thing about the Mavericks is that they were able to send all five of them on the court at the same time to create a super "iron wall" that no one can beat! Carlisle's pursuit of defense has reached the pinnacle!

So even LeBron. James, when it comes to such a super defensive lineup, is helpless.

Since the Mavericks started playing big fours in the first quarter, the Cavaliers haven't taken the lead. LeBron. James and Irving's solo scoring is only a palliative cure, and they need a series of fluid offenses to shoot out instead of being forced to make a shot in the final seconds every time.

But playing an offensive climax in front of the Mavericks' defense was almost a fantasy. It is only possible for the Rockets and the Warriors, two teams that smoke against common sense, to do it. But so what? Even if the Rockets and Warriors can play an offensive climax in front of the Mavericks, the two teams together will only win the Mavericks by one game.

James and Irving have been struggling to chase points, but every time they look up at the big screen, they realize that the difference has never narrowed.

In the eighth minute of the second quarter, James motioned for everyone to pull away, and he wanted to try to solve the problem with his individual ability.

Smith tried very hard to run out of the open space to take the pressure off James, but Tony... You can feel it, that guy is really too tight!

Owen used a reverse run to the outside of the three-point line in the bottom right corner and was about to raise his hand to ask for the ball, but Yiyang rushed over again and did not give Owen any space.

Owen fell into deep despair, is there no action in this world that can make Yiyang shake?

Of course, Owen had shaken Yiyang's center of gravity in the last game. Of course, that's when Irving has the ball. In terms of running without the ball, Yiyang himself is an expert, so he knows the opponent's next move very well.

James broke through, James scored 44 points in the last game, and James has already scored 13 points in this game. Statistically, Iguodala doesn't seem to be limiting James' play at all. Looking at the data, James doesn't seem to have much of an impact. But judging from the scene, James played really badly.

It's impossible for a superstar to be limited to stats, but if you can make their offensive efficiency less, it's already a successful defense!

James desperately fought his way inside and threw the ball to the basket before he was exhausted, scoring in front of him. Every time he attacked, the knights fought extremely hard!

And after the Mavericks attacked, it was a different scenario.

Yiyang walked leisurely through the half, and also played two crotch changes hands. He then handed the ball to Iguodala and ran away on his own!

James stuck to Iguodala like he hugged his wife, and he knew very well that against a guy like Iguodala, you can't even give him the opportunity to pass the ball!

Wade came up to answer and handed over to Iguodala, Iguodala took advantage of the situation and delayed Owen, and Wade broke through immediately!

James immediately switched defenses, and again, he and Wade were together. But Wade is still very calm, he has long passed the age when he is bound to split the winner with the other party. Now Wade just wants to focus on the big picture.

Wade passed the ball, shook off the defender and cut in, Iguodala received the ball and rushed towards the basket with a fierce momentum!

Tristan nervously stepped up to the basket, and James also threw Wade aside to block it.

Iguodala averaged 8.8 points per game in the regular season, but after entering the playoffs and being placed in the sixth man, his average points per game immediately jumped to 15.6 points! Iguodala is definitely a very efficient scoring point, it's just that this guy habitually plays dead in the regular season.

But just when everyone thought Iguodala was going to hit the basket, the strong forward sent the "ammunition" beyond the three-point line with a soft pass.

Outside the three-point line, Yiyang borrowed Gobert's off-ball cover to shake off Australian Dellavedova, received the basketball, and went straight out of the empty position.

As the three-point king who broke the record for the highest scoring in the NBA's three-point contest this year, Yiyang's open three-point ability is very stable. The hand rises and falls, and the basketball hollows into the net. This kind of easy-hearted scoring opportunity, the knight just played it! On the Mavericks' side, most of them are goals in this kind of big open space.

In terms of offense, Irving and James are both super scorers. On the other hand, Maverick, it seems that only Yiyang can be called a "scorer". Although others occasionally have high scores, in terms of attack power, they still can't compare with Irving and James. What's more, the Mavericks also have Gobert and Tony on this lineup. Aaron: These two completely distort the strangeness of the skill tree.

But the Mavericks' firepower seems to be more fierce than the Cavaliers. Actually, it doesn't depend on offense, but on defense!

In the face of the Mavericks' defense, the Cavaliers can't help even having two scorers. On the Mavericks' side, everyone can get the opportunity to score easily, which can be described as a soldier for all.

The emotional Blatter told himself that it was not over and that the game still had to be played. But rationally, he has already admitted that he and the knight have nothing to do.

With a three-point shot, the Dallas Mavericks officially extended the margin to double digits! Once the margin is opened up by the Mavericks, it will be difficult to catch up! In the last game, the Cavaliers spent all 48 minutes chasing and couldn't catch up. Defense is a big problem, and the Cavaliers' defense is too easy for the Mavericks to crack! ”

Looking at the 11-point difference on the big screen at the scene, James felt that he had never been so tired. But for the sake of the O'Brien Cup, what are these for!?

James' enemies seem to be getting stronger forever, when the Pistons five-man group swept the East, the iron-blooded defense was terrifying, and in the 05-06 season when the Pistons became the top of the league, James made the playoffs for the first time and played seven games with them. But wave after wave of unevenness, following Duncan's old monster's "The future is yours", Garnett, Ray. The huddle between Allen and Pierce became an insurmountable chasm for James, and the Monster's demands on the inside also made the Cavaliers helpless.

Finally, James formed his own Big Three, and the Green Army giants disbanded. The Spurs are aging, Kobe Bryant is nearing retirement, the Thunder are always driving high and going low, and Howard is gradually sinking...... James thought that his own time had finally come. Until last season, Yiyang came back with the Dallas Mavericks.

James has survived so many difficulties, and he is unwilling to lose to this Chinese who suddenly appeared. So, James began to attack more frantically, and began to pound endlessly.

By the end of the third quarter, an exhausted James began to hit the iron continuously. The Mavericks took this opportunity to play a wave of 10-2 offensive climax, and before the start of the third quarter, they forced the difference to 20 points.

David. Blatter sat on the bench at the end of the third quarter, and the game was basically over.

Throughout the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers were tumbling in the mire. They wanted to drag the calf into the water too, but they simply couldn't!

James didn't take 50 shots today, but his 35 shots were not much different from the 38 in the previous game. James has to put in a lot of physical effort just to attack, not to mention he has to defend.

Basketball is indeed very easy to be affected by the play of stars and influence the game. But it's still a five-person movement, no matter how strong one person is, when there is a bottleneck.

Today, with the more tired James shooting just 31.4 per cent, Iguodala over-the-top and completely erasing the Cavaliers' hopes of equalizing.

Not the hope of equalizing the score of this game, but the hope of equalizing the score of the entire series......

In the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, Yiyang's cold-blooded "shot" on the outside widened the difference to 25 points. This expressionless Chinese is like an emotionless killer who does not leave the knight any chance to struggle.

With 32 points and 14 assists, he limited Irving to just 13 points. Great teams usually have a great leader. Yiyang has achieved the ultimate balance between the team and the individual.

Blatter replaced all the main forces and had no intention of fighting again. It also meant that the Dallas Mavericks were five minutes ahead to make the series 2-0 total. The Cavaliers' five-small lineup can't save this irretrievable decline.

Since Yiyang joined the Mavericks, whenever the Mavericks have taken a 2-0 lead, they have never been overturned.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are powerless to break this curse. Yiyang's third O'Brien Cup in his career is already beckoning to him.
