Two free throws and one throw, Cousins' technical foul gave the Mavericks a chance to equalize or even overtake the score. Westphaal was arguing fiercely with the referee, and the manager knew that arguing with the referee was no longer going to change anything. The reason why he still did this was simply to put pressure on the referees, hoping that the referees would be able to turn the whistle towards the Kings in the next game.

However, it is not known whether this will have an effect. Carlisle motioned for Yiyang, who had been the most consistent performer today, to step up to the free throw line to execute the two free throws.

Free throws for technical fouls are slightly different from free throws for ordinary fouls, although they are both free throws twice, but free throws for technical fouls, except for the player who executes the free throw, everyone must retreat to the three-point line, and there is no such thing as fighting for rebounds.

With no one to interfere with, it stands to reason that it would be better for the penalty taker. But some players who are not very good in terms of psychological quality, when there is no interference at all, will be inaccurate due to excessive pressure.

However, Carlisle doesn't have to worry about this problem happening to Yiyang at all. Although he is only a rookie, the calm and composed quality of the No. 1 guard is beyond the reach of many veterans.

Although the Kings fans tried their best to interfere with boos, Yiyang still hit two free throws to tie the score. And after the score was equalized, the Kings had to defend an attack from the Mavericks. The success or failure of this attack will directly determine whether the leading positions of the two teams will be reversed.

Nowitzki stood on the sideline ready to make a free throw, and at this moment, Tyrek . Evans has become entangled with Yiyang. Now Yiyang doesn't talk about scoring with the ball, it is very difficult for him to even catch the ball.

In the end, it's Tyson. Chandler tacitly set up a no-ball block for Yiyang, and Yiyang was able to get out of the gap to receive Dirk's sideline ball. However, when Yiyang received the basketball frame, the Kings No. 13 was haunted and pasted up again.

"Evans defended too tightly and the guy was able to concentrate heavily on both ends of the floor. Let's see how we will fight our way out of the encirclement this time! ”

Evans' long arms reached out again and again, and Yiyang also used his skillful ball handling skills to dodge the former rookie's big hand. Although it seems that the two are on a competitive basis, Yiyang is not actually obsessed with singles, and while dodging Evans steals, Yiyang is also watching his teammates' movements.

When Nowitzki mentioned the high post, Yiyang immediately passed the ball, allowing Dirk to hold the ball at the high point, while he began to run at full speed.

When Yiyang ran to Dirk's side, Nowitzki also reached out and handed Yiyang the basketball. After the ball was taken, Dirk took a step and delayed Evans' pursuit.

In this way, Yiyang took the lead of half a body and went to the penalty area again. If it had been a minute ago, Cousins would have stood under the basket, waited for Yiyang to come to the door, and then gave him a good look.

But now, Cousins has three fouls and one technical foul. If he gets into foul trouble again, the head coach will definitely replace him.

Although Cousins is easily hot-headed, he has not lost the most basic thinking ability. When Yiyang stepped into the three-second zone and took three steps to make a layup, Cousins didn't dare to jump, but just raised his arms high, intending to use his strong body to interfere with Yiyang's layup.

Yiyang's and Cousins' bodies collided together, and under the blockade of Evans and Cousins, two strong men, Yiyang's torso lost its balance in the air. But the hand he held the basketball in his hand has not been deformed.

Yiyang struggled to maintain his balance and rebounded the basketball. After that, the No. 1 guard lost his center of gravity and fell from the air, but the basketball that was pushed out grazed the rebound and accurately refracted into the net.

"It was also brought down, but the referee didn't think there was a foul! Cousins is a little timid, this guy has been limited by his own foul count! ”

"He had three fouls before the end of the second quarter, and I think Cousins will play quite passively in the rest of the game."

In the stands, the commentators were worried about Cousins. On the court, Yiyang has also led the Mavericks to complete a 10-point overtake.

A small 10-0 climax made Westphaal a little nervous.

The game continued, the Kings attacked, and Cousins finally came out and set up an off-ball screen for Evans.

Evans received the ball from Yudri through blocking and dismantling, and then took advantage of the fact that Yiyang had not fully made up the defense in place, and directly jumped and shot.

However, Evans' inconsistent shooting is now manifested, and the shot is not a chance that can be converted into a two-point opportunity for most NBA players. But Evans did not grasp it, and his shot was inaccurate again.

"Tyrek's shooting still needs to be practiced, no, wait! DeMarcus! DeMarcus. Cousins got the offensive rebound! "Mike. Brin thought that the Kings' offense was over, but the unruly big rookie took the rebound from Chandler's head.

Chandler, who was physically exerted, couldn't hold his position this time, allowing Cousins to grab the rebound from behind. After Cousins got the rebound, he didn't look at his teammates at all, but forced a layup on the spot!

Chandler may also have a somewhat fiery temper, but he is not as impulsive as Cousins. The seasoned top rim protector simply stood in place with his arms held high, using his strong frame to form a wall in front of the basket.

Cousins went straight to the basket under the block of Chandler's "high wall", and after grabbing the offensive rebound, it was understandable that the interior player directly attacked the frame. But Cousins grabbed the rebound behind Chandler, which meant he didn't get out of the defense at all when he hit the frame. This kind of direct strong choice is no different from shooting directly without throwing off the defender.

Sure enough, although Chandler did not jump or move, he just stood in place with his arms raised. But what he did caused Cousins' layup to slide off the basket and fail to score!

This time, Cousins couldn't find a reason to yell at the referee, the Kings hadn't scored for several minutes, and most of those chances were wasted in Cousins' hands!

"Steady, steady! Hit it slowly! Carlisle saw that Chandler had successfully stopped Cousins, and immediately shouted tactics from the sidelines. He wants the team to control the situation, and the metronome that controls the situation is Yiyang.

Yiyang received a pass from Nowitzki and then trotted unhurriedly across the half. Yiyang made a few gestures, and Chandler, who was on the inside, suddenly began to take a position on the inside!

Chandler wasn't the Mavericks' scoring point, and more often than not, he was only responsible for defense, rebounding, and setting up cover. But at this moment, Chandler, who has always been very low-key on the offensive end, is taking the initiative to fight Cousins hand-to-hand.

Yiyang casually slapped the ball to the ground, but the basketball bounced back into Chandler's hand accurately. At this time, Chandler's key position was already very deep, and Yiyang's pass was just right so that the "King of Boxing" did not need to adjust.

So this strong center who had been aggrieved for a whole game leaned on Cousins and turned directly! Turning around, the basket was right in front of Chandler's eyes. The muscular man's calves kicked hard, and his huge body "soared into the air" like a rocket.

Cousins didn't dare to foul, so he didn't jump to fight Chandler. And just like that, Cousins watched Chandler jump on his head and dunk on the spot!

"Another slam dunk, and the Mavericks solved the battle in just ten seconds! Chandler's key position and Yi's passing were perfectly linked, and Tyson was able to attack the frame as soon as he received the ball. ”

Chandler's two-handed dunk put the Kings on the back foot for the first time today. Westfaal, on the other hand, was forced to stop the game.

Cousins walked off the court dissatisfied, and if it weren't for the damn referee who gave him a technical foul, he wouldn't have had to be so timid now.

Temper control? This kind of thing is simply inconceivable in Cousins' opinion.

Westphal held the tactical board tightly with both hands, and the originally white tactical board was now drawn in a mess by him.?? He stared at his players and said slowly but firmly: "I have only one request for this game - to win!" ”

What the? Sacramento Kings want to win the Dallas Mavericks?

If this sentence is said before the start of the competition, everyone who hears it will laugh out loud and feel as nonsensical as if watching a comedy movie.

But now, after the Kings led a quarter and a half before being overtaken, Westfale, who has won just 12 games this season, doesn't want to lose again.

Although the Mavericks' record is completely different from that of the Kings, the Mavericks have exposed a lot of problems today. And these problems are the lifesaver for Westphall and the Kings.

"That guy is a real eyesore!" On the other side, off the Mavericks' bench, Carlisle pointed at Cousins and yelled at his players.

"He's already had three fouls! We have no reason to give him a respite! Just now Yiyi and Tyson did a good job, as long as you can fight, then try to hit Cousins for me! If Cousins can't play, there's nothing to be afraid of with these guys! Now that the Mavericks are collectively in a physical crisis and want to win, Carlisle has to use some "special" means. His approach is to encourage the players to attack Cousins more.

Although the score was overtaken, the cheers of the Kings fans did not diminish when the game restarted. After all, it is not easy for the Mavericks to complete the process of overtaking. They have a lot of confidence in their team and hopefully this timeout can bring the lads back to their senses.

The Kings reorganized their offense, and this time the ball was in Evans' hands. Evans played well in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, his efficiency seemed to have slipped under Yiyang's kraft candy defense.

This time, Evans did not be polite to Yiyang, but called the team's power forward Jason. Thompson set up a pick-and-roll for himself.

As soon as the cover was set, Evans changed his dribbling rhythm and tried to break through!

Yiyang immediately detoured, but Evans suddenly changed direction and chose to accelerate to the side that was not blocked!

Yiyang immediately changed his center of gravity and lunged towards Evans. At the same time, Chandler also left Cousins behind to make up for the basket, and Yiyang was out of position, which means that Evans could attack the frame at any time, and "The King of Fighters" must take all precautions.

Evans' defense allowed Yiyang and Chandler to form an arc of encirclement, with Evans inside and Cousins outside of that encirclement.

While Evans isn't a pure point guard, he does enjoy sharing the ball with his teammates. Seeing that he had attracted the defense of the opposing two, Evans smashed the ball to the ground hard. The basketball bounced back through the gap between Yiyang and Chandler and came to Cousins!

Chandler reacted quickly and immediately turned around and raised his arms high. Cousins took a step after taking the ball, then leaned on Chandler and threw the basketball to the basket.

Basketball is slowly rising, and many commentators are already applauding the delicate coordination between Evans and Cousins.

The spinning basketball made a wonderful arc, like an arrow that shot through the ten fingers of Chandler with his arms raised, just waiting to crash into the net!

Just as the basketball was about to start falling, a yellow-skinned figure suddenly appeared next to the ball.

The Chinese wearing the Dallas Mavericks No. 1 jersey used a volleyball smash to slam the basketball that was climbing in the air to the outside of the three-point line!

“hat a fantastic block by Yi！！” Van Gundy's voice had begun to echo through the living rooms of countless homes, and Cousins' mind went blank except for an exclamation from the Sleeping Train Arena......
