Can Dirk and Yiyang be the next great duo? Perhaps no one had ever seriously considered this issue before this quarter. After all, the age gap between the two is too big, and when Yiyang is in his playing year, Dirk may not play anymore. These two people are destined to not be able to leave their pinnacle to each other.

But what Yiyang and Nowitzki showed just now made Kenny . Smith saw something different. It is true that these two people can't leave their peaks to each other, but the two who are not at the peak are not impossible to create miracles!

When the Celtics' Big Three got together, wasn't it already past their peak? Haven't the Spurs' three old carriages always maintained a strong competitiveness?

Right here at Kenny. As Smith pondered, a loud electronic beep drew his attention back to the field. 52-46, led by Nowitzki and Yiyang, the Mavericks, who were not in good shape, ended the half with a six-point lead.

Angry John. Kuster didn't give an interview to reporters and walked straight into the players' tunnel. This guy may not have expected that the seemingly fragile calf would bring himself so much trouble because of the existence of two people.

"If you're going to pass the ball, you give me some hints. I'm afraid I didn't realize what you meant, and wasted your story. By the way, if I can't catch the ball, you're going to make a bold breakthrough. I'm going to do my best to help you get the space, and if they're going to make a basket, you're going to hit me and I'm going to shoot. On the other side, Nowitzki lowered his head and said in Yiyang's ear while gesturing. The two walked into the tunnel side by side, which didn't look like the stars and rookies of a team at all, but a pair of long-time partners.

Nowitzki doesn't care if Yiyang is a rookie or not, as long as he can help the team win, he will treat him equally. What is the star of the house, what is the boss of the team, these things the Germans don't care about at all. Victory and championship, this is what Dirk, who is already in his thirties, cares about the most.

Sure enough, after returning to the locker room, Rick. Carlisle also laid out a lot of tactics for Nowitzki and Yiyang. He knows that it is difficult for others who are tired to miraculously come back from the back of one half-time. If nothing else, in the second half of the game, the Mavericks can still rely on Nowitzki and Yiyang.

But this time, Carlisle was full of confidence. The two guys No. 1 and No. 41 are enough for the Pistons to drink a pot!

"Bag clip! Give me the bag before he catches it! "John. Kuster drew a big red cross to Nowitzki's name on the tactical whiteboard, and Dirk scored 18 points in just half a game. There's no doubt that if Nowitzki hadn't played too easily, the Pistons wouldn't have been so passive right now.

Kuster also knows that the height of the Pistons' interior group is a big problem, so in the second half of the game, he plans to put rookie Monroe on the court to form a strong encirclement with Big Ben to contain the Germans.

Yiyang? Yiyang's passing is really beautiful. But if Dirk can't score, then his pass will be meaningless either!

The guy seemed to have forgotten that the last few offenses of the second quarter of the game. The Mavericks' scoring is not all thanks to Nowitzki.

Mougins was still nervously thinking about how the Mavericks should respond to the Pistons' counterattack in the second half of the game, when he saw Yiyang walk out of the tunnel early and step onto the court.

This guy made random shots on the court to keep his touch. After that, I did stretching exercises. It seems that Yiyang also knows very well that in the second half of the game, he will not have a good time. This first-year rookie must be fully prepared!

It wasn't until all the Pistons players played that the boos for Yiyang at Auburn Hills Palace Stadium finally stopped. It seems that the calves who fought back-to-back have only half a life left. Everyone was expecting the Pistons to crush the weary division from Dallas in the next 24 minutes of battle.

At the beginning of the game, Starkey scored two points with a driving layup. His goal undoubtedly satisfied the self-confidence of Pistons fans. Starkey's layup is just the first step in the Pistons' comeback plan, and after that, the Pistons' firepower is bound to be even more fierce!

Swap the Mavericks offense, as a rookie, Greg. Monroe's motivation is naturally quite high. His height of 2.11 meters combined with his strong body can indeed put more pressure on Nowitzki. At the end of the second quarter of the first half of the game, the Pistons used this lineup to limit Dirk's consecutive hits.

Monroe went around the front, and Ben dragged behind. As for Chandler? Does this guy pose any other threat on the offensive end besides dunking?

Yiyang saw that Nowitzki had no space to catch the ball, so he looked at Marion, who was standing in the left corner. Then, he stuffed the ball directly into the hand of the third position, which did not feel good.

Marion can be said to have been completely blown up by the "old prince" Prince today, and so far, Prince has only allowed Marion to hit one goal. Marion, on the other hand, has already allowed Prince to score 10 points.

So when Marion was holding the ball, Prince was not too alert, not only Prince, but the nerves of the entire Pistons team relaxed the moment Marion received the ball.

Marion made a set of triple threats with the ball, and the rest of the Mavericks seemed to be running with the aim of emptying the strong side and creating space for Marion to break through as much as possible. It seems that when Nowitzki couldn't catch the ball, Carlisle was hoping that Marion would step up and score.

Just when everyone thought that Marion was going to force Prince, this guy suddenly made a high pass, and a lightning bolt suddenly burst out from the originally empty middle lane! Yiyang raised his long arm and unloaded the lob pass. And the running position of the rest of the Mavericks is actually not to help Marion open up space, but to help Yiyang clear the basket!

Seeing that Yiyang received the ball and hit the penalty area, Big Ben threw down Chandler and pounced on it. In the face of this former best defensive player in the NBA league, Yiyang was not nervous, but continued to accelerate!

"I'll be knocked back to Dallas!" Mike. Brin saw that the two were about to touch each other, and his palms were full of fine sweat! You must know that Yiyang and Daben are not at the same level at all in terms of physique.

Just as the two were about to collide together, Yiyang suddenly changed his steps and turned quickly against Daben's sturdy body! Yiyang seemed to suddenly turn into a mist and directly passed through Daben's body!

After turning around, Yiyang's steps were not messy. The rookie controlled his pace well, and he raised his arms and flicked his wrists. The basketball grazed the rebounds and obediently went into the net.

"Good ball, and the turn is just smooth. Although Dirk was restricted, we saw that the Mavericks' advantage was still extended. "Kenny. Smith applauded, a rookie who really took on a responsibility today that was completely inconsistent with his identity.

Many high-pick rookies played in the NBA in the first few years just to improve, and the team will not put the responsibility of winning or losing on the rookies. For example, the Wizards' Wall, for example, the Clippers' Griffin. As long as they perform well, the team doesn't demand too much from the results anyway.

But Yiyang is different, as a flower show, he carried the team's victory and defeat early. And this kind of responsibility did not crush Yiyang, but made him better and better!

Subsequently, the Pistons still adopted a 360-degree close defense against Nowitzki. Yiyang, on the other hand, continued to use his personal ability to continue to score.

When Yiyang scored his eighth point in the third quarter with a beautiful step-back jumper, the Pistons, who were seven points behind, called a halt to the game. Kuster knows that the Mavericks aren't the only threat right now. Yiyang is definitely an offensive point that has to be defended!

Yiyang walked to the court, and his teammates on the bench stood up ecstatically and high-fived the No. 1 rookie. Terry even hugged Yiyang and grinned as if he had just scored consecutive points on the court was himself.

Mougins focused the camera on the yellow-skinned player and caught the expression on his face.

Calm, composed, and expressionless...... Yiyang's expression seemed to say, "Doing all this is completely expected!" ”

"This kid." Mougins smiled. "It's getting more and more like a superstar."
