Chapter 116: Turn around
"Yi's breakthrough is very deadly, and the Pistons have suffered more than once in this Tanhua show today. Monroe couldn't sit idly by, and jumped directly, and he and Monroe made physical contact in the air! "Mike. Blinkey's emotional commentary brought the tense atmosphere of the game to every fan.
Yiyang was covered by Monroe in the air and had no room to shoot, and it looked like the defense would be a big success this time.
However, the guard, who had been using consecutive breakthroughs to kill the Pistons' basket, did not make a move, but used his long arm to hold the ball around Monroe's back and give it to Nowitzki, who was empty.
Nowitzki received the basketball and threw it lightly, and the basketball bounced back in the frame a few times before finally crashing into the net.
The Pistons looked on for an equalizer, but Nowitzki's goal stretched the deficit to four points again.
At this point, there are only 3 minutes left before the end of the game. And the calf, who only relied on the hard support of the two, still persevered in the lead.
Starki wasn't too frustrated by being scored another goal by Yiyang, who had already scored 20 points on Starkey's head today. If he gets frustrated with every shot, it is estimated that the game is not over yet, and Starkey himself will drive himself crazy.
The new core of the Pistons team immediately began to sprint with all their strength after receiving the baseline ball, using a fast offensive and defensive rhythm to drag down Yiyang and Dirk. Kuster's only way to solve the problem at the moment!
Starki started to speed up, and Yiyang, whose breathing had not yet adjusted, had to speed up. The Pistons played at a fast pace, leaving the Mavericks who were fighting back-to-back full of holes.
Seeing the opportunity, Starki suddenly changed direction and tried to shake off Yiyang. But Yiyang did not give up the defense, he still used his superb sideways feet to stick to the Staki left and right.
Starki used this shred of space to break through strongly, just when everyone thought that this No. 3 was going to act recklessly again. Starkey flicked his wrist and hit the basketball beyond the three-point line. There, "Old Prince" Prince was already in place, and the Pistons veteran of the Meritorious Fathers received the ball and threw it. A precise three-pointer allowed the Pistons to climb back from the edge of the cliff.
"Prince was definitely a hero for the Pistons today! Never underestimate an old guy like him, the kind of player who will play his part no matter the situation! ”
Starki understands that it is not easy for him to score points on the tall Yiyang's head. Today, his hit rate almost fell below 40%, which was due to Yiyang. As a player who was used by the Pistons as the core of the team, being beaten like this by a rookie is really disgraced.
He understands that if the Pistons lose this game, he will definitely become the laughing stock of the media. A rookie who played a starting game for the first time actually took out a leading defender. Therefore, Starkey is now bent on winning, and the number of individual points has been left behind by him.
Seeing Prince hit a three-pointer, Carlisle could only shake his head helplessly. Marion was too tired today to take a step, let alone the final moments of the fourth quarter. He only hopes that Dirk and Yiyang can continue to persevere, as long as one of the two of them falls, the entire Mavericks will collapse!
Time is running out, and the Mavericks' lead is just one point. This time, Nowitzki and Chandler both raised their positions and set up a double block cover for Yiyang.
As soon as the double-blocking and dismantling formation came out, everyone thought that Yiyang must be the point where he attacked with the ball.
But Yiyang directly hit the ground and passed the ball after bypassing the block, and the basketball rebounded and flew towards the baseline. Terry suddenly came out, grabbed the basketball, and went straight to the basket with three steps.
Everyone's attention is on Yiyang, so it created another wonderful assist for Yiyang. With 20 points and 10 assists, this goal allowed Yiyang to add another double-double to his record.
Then, Pistons rookie interior Monroe scored on a hook shot from Nowitzki in the three-second zone. Nowitzki had actually tried his best to defend himself, but now he was almost physically exhausted, but he still fell behind in the face of the young and vigorous Monroe.
The score difference became 1 again, and the score was so anxious that the audience almost suffocated. Even Mougins, who was filmed in the press section, felt his heart pounding, but the Dallas No. 1, who decided the outcome on the field, once again calmly controlled the ball.
As soon as Yiyang passed halftime, Starkey pressed Yiyang to defend in the half according to the head coach's arrangement. John. Kuster originally wanted to put pressure on Yiyang at a critical moment to force the rookie who was not yet mentally mature to make a mistake.
However, Yiyang's inner composure may not even be comparable to Kuster himself. In the face of Starkey's pressing, the No. 1 guard smoothly dodged the steal, and the basketball seemed to have life in Yiyang's hands, flying back and forth flexibly.
Seeing that Yiyang was about to approach the three-point line, this Dallas No. 1 suddenly pulled back from his crotch and retreated. Starki, who received the order to force Yiyang at any time, did not hesitate, stepped forward and pasted it.
Just at the moment when Starki's center of gravity was facing forward, Yiyang suddenly accelerated! Starkey subconsciously moved sideways to block, but Yiyang forced himself to sneak in with his shoulder against the No. 3 of the Pistons!
At this moment, Monroe was a little overwhelmed. Let go of Dirk, Yiyang will definitely be able to pass the ball over, and if he doesn't make up for it, then Yiyang will get another chance to score points.
In the end, Monroe decided to stay by Nowitzki's side, and Yiyang left it to Big Ben to take care of.
How dare Big Ben pounce too fiercely? Not to mention that Yiyang can easily pass himself, even if Yiyang can't pass himself, he just needs to throw the ball into the sky, and Chandler will rise from the ground to complete the empty catch.
This former best defensive player is also in a dilemma, just when these two interior lines are still struggling with how to defend, Yiyang, who stepped into the three-second zone, suddenly jumped straight and hit the shot steadily!
The score opened again, and the Pistons' illusions of wanting to equalize were once again dashed. Monroe and Big Ben, you look at me, I'll look at you. How can a Chinese, a German, be so difficult to deal with!
Dozens of seconds later, Yiyang, who failed to force Starki to make a layup, made a comeback again. This time, Yiyang first gave the ball to Chandler, who was promoted to a high position. After that, Yiyang, who came out of the back in a circle, played a hand-to-hand with Chandler.
took the ball from Chandler's hand, and Yiyang immediately broke through! Starki was taken aback, Yiyang was already fast enough just now, but he didn't know that it was not Yiyang's full speed state!
This hand-to-hand combination not only allowed Chandler to delay Starkey's pursuit, but also managed to fish Big Ben out of the box.
This time, Monroe can't be entangled. This rookie at the same level as Yiyang had no choice but to leave Nowitzki and guard the basket with open arms!
Yiyang jumped directly at the strong Monroe, the reason why he fought hard with these strong insiders every time was not to be cool, but to trick the big man under the defensive basket into jumping. This time, when he passed the ball again, the opponent didn't even have a chance to make up for it.
Yiyang, who was choked enough by Monroe in the air, gritted his teeth, and his right hand, which was originally a layup, suddenly changed his posture. Instead of flying to the basket, the basketball flew over Monroe's scalp.
Passing past Monroe, Nowitzki received the basketball and jumped straight on the spot. A strong two-handed hanging frame made the shouting of "defense" in the palace stadium of Auburn Hills come to an abrupt end!
"42 points! Dirk has scored his 42nd point of the game! Oh my God, Yi's wonderful pass made it easy for Dirk to get his chance! "Mike. Brin's technical statistics looked at Nowitzki's technical statistics, and most of the 42 points came from Yiyang's assists!
In the blink of an eye, the Pistons had pushed over and were ready to return the color. But Starkey's No. 1 position obviously can't sort out the offense at a fast pace.
The Pistons did play fast, but they also played very chaotically! Starkey, the player who got the opportunity, couldn't see it, and when Starkey saw it, the opportunity was gone.
The Pistons' fast pace didn't crush the Mavericks, but instead messed them up. In the end, Starkey's hasty pass was wrong, and the Pistons were on their own!
At this point, there was only one minute left before the end of the game. The Pistons, on the other hand, trailed by a whopping five points. In other words, if the Pistons can't defend this offense, then their plan to defeat the Mavericks will be completely stranded.
In this round, the Pistons' defense was very tight. Yiyang didn't even say that it was a breakthrough, he couldn't even find the route of the pass.
Off the field, Kidd did see a few passing routes, but that kind of ball, even if Kidd himself played, may not be able to guarantee the safe delivery of the ball.
Yiyang knew that this fatal ball would not have a chance just by passing. The No. 1 guard didn't want to block either, because the opponent must be ready to switch defenses. He took a step back and suddenly sprinted!
In the middle of the sprint, Yiyang passed the ball to Nowitzki. As soon as the Germans got the ball, Monroe and Big Ben were caught in the middle.
Nowitzki couldn't turn around, but he saw Yiyang cut in at Starkey's tug.
The Germans didn't think much about it and immediately wore it straight! Yiyang shook off Starkey's hand on him, got the basketball steadily, and then went straight to the penalty area!
Big Ben let go of Nowitzki and blocked under the basket, and he was very thief this time. Neither too high nor too low. No matter how Yiyang wants to attack, he can block it in time.
At this time, Yiyang looked at the half of the court again and found that there was no way back. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!
So, this No. 1 rookie jumped up directly against Big Ben. Monroe didn't leave Dirk half a step, he knew very well how terrifying Yiyang's true skills were.
Yiyang twisted his waist and abdomen in the air, and completed a 360° turn with Daben in the air!
In Big Ben's stunned eyes, Yiyang, who turned around, gently picked it up, and the basketball went into the net!
At this moment, the entire Auburn Hills Palace Stadium became silent. Even the celebrities in the commentary seat were silent for a second.
360° turn in the air for a layup? This incredible picture, without warning, became a reality!
