Chapter 624: A Duel That Can't Be Lost

"Chris. Paul and Yi's solid performance left the suspense of the game to the end, and the game ended with three minutes left, and the Clippers only led the Mavericks by four points. After Coach Carlisle called a timeout, he didn't know what the Mavericks would do. ”

"Coach Carlisle didn't make any substitutions and in my opinion they should still want to stay until the last second. Use defense to slowly wear down with the Clippers. ”

"Stay until the end? No, as I know it. That guy isn't the kind of person who will sit still. ”

On the commentary bench, Mike. Brin and Kevin. Harlan all have different views. Harlan thinks the Mavericks will be conservative until the end, and if they want to attack, Carlisle will have to replace Nick long ago. Yang too.

Brin thinks the Mavericks will take the initiative, and although they didn't make any substitutions, Yiyang himself is a scary enough scoring point. The usage of this guy is simple, give him the ball and roll it out of front of his eyes!

At the end of the game, the atmosphere in the entire arena became much more tense. When Yiyang took the ball and began to move forward, the Staples Center once again resounded with the voices of fans booing Yiyang wildly.

With only three minutes left in the game, the Clippers still have a four-point lead. But all the fans knew that this advantage was not safe at all, and they booed wildly, just to hide their nervousness.

Yiyang walked outside the three-point line and observed the situation on the court. For the first 45 minutes of the game, he followed Paul's rhythm. This does ensure that the Mavericks are not thrown away, but it is also difficult to get rid of others.

It's time to upset that balance. Since Carlisle has given himself the right to fire, there is no need to be polite!

So, Yiyang passed the ball to Tony. Alan. But instead of cutting in, he took two steps back. After that, Tony. Aaron then returns the ball to Yiyang. At this time, Paul realized that Yiyang was winning space for himself to sprint!

"Don't be delusional, stinky boy!" Paul, who has the title of "the league's No. 1 point guard", can be said to have been suppressed by Yiyang this season, whether it is personal data or team records, Yiyang is more dominant. Paul was so desperate to prove that he was still competitive, and he couldn't stand a little guy climbing on top of him so quickly.

So this time, Paul took a more aggressive defensive approach. As soon as Yiyang received the basketball, Paul saw the right time to cut down!

Paul's cutting action is really fast, accurate and ruthless! Yiyang had just touched the ball when Paul's hand was cut off. In other words, it was another defender who had no time to control the basketball and could only watch Paul poke the ball away.

However, Yiyang's outstanding ball sense and ball control skills allow him to always reflexively face unexpected situations, Yiyang took advantage of the situation to pull the ball behind his back, switched to his right hand, and nimbly avoided Paul's steal. At the same time, Paul's center of gravity shifted a little forward because of the chip. With the help of this opportunity, Yiyang accelerated the breakthrough, and the whole action was completed in one go!

"He also changed hands in the back of the steal and allowed him to break through Chris's defense!"

Although he was miserably broken through by Yiyang, Paul was not slow to react. He reflexively caught up in time and stayed by Yiyang's side all the time.

At the same time, Barnes also came up to the defense, and it looked like he had blocked Yiyang's breakthrough route. This time to attack, Yiyang had to choose to pass.

If it is placed in normal times, Yiyang will definitely choose to pass. But at this time, as a scorer, Yiyang didn't want to shirk his responsibility.

He picked up the basketball and paddled it around the top of Barnes' head, then made a quick jump at his feet, allowing Yiyang to drill through the gap between Paul and Barnes!

Barnes looked back in surprise, what was the matter with Yiyang's speed just now? As soon as he jumped, Barnes saw only an afterimage pass through, and he didn't have time to react.

Passing through Barnes, Yiyang leaned on Paul for an easy layup. As soon as the game opened, Yiyang scored in a seemingly impossible situation. Carlisle nodded in satisfaction. A player like Yiyang will never disappoint the coach!

"Ho ho, from back to jump, Yi's movements are so smooth and beautiful. The Mavericks are now just two points off, so what will the Clippers do? ”

Before the timeout ended, most people speculated that the Mavericks would play relatively safe, and the Clippers would quickly pull the score away in a more aggressive way.

For now, though, the situation is the opposite for both teams.

Paul is still steadily organizing the offense and doesn't seem to be trying to steal points. Yiyang no longer kept his distance from Paul, but took a close defense against him.

After 45 minutes of stability, now Yiyang is not only not tired, but has strength. Spending the last three minutes with Paul in a close-fitting press, Yiyang believes he can persevere.

After encountering Yiyang's close defense, Paul had to hand the ball to Griffin. Griffin was in great form today and has 30 points on his account. But by this time, the people who came to defend him had changed from Dirk to Gobert.

"Rudy personally defends Blake, this is a good show!"

In the first meeting of the series, Griffin beat Gobert into a nervous game on the inside. In a trance, he was repeatedly broken through by Griffin.

But today, Goebel vows that he won't let that pesky guy Blake get his wish again!

Seeing that the center was out of place with him, Griffin dribbled directly to break through. But after moving, Griffin was surprised to find that Goebel was so capable of moving.

The Frenchman stuck to Griffin's side and was not overtaken by Griffin's speed. Griffin had no choice but to make a sudden stop, then turn around and jump.

While Griffin's mid-range shooting has improved significantly this season, the turnaround and jumper after a stoppage seems a little too difficult for the strong man.

Griffin's turnaround jumper was very stiff, and combined with Gobert's terrifying height, the shot was naturally out of the box.

Jordan Jr. pushed away Dirk, who was stuck in position, and successfully added the ball, but before the fans could cheer, the ball was blown away by the referee.

"Foul on rebounding, void goal!" The referee was very decisive and didn't give them face just because it was the home of the Clippers.

"Damn it!" Jordan Jr. waved his hand in annoyance, but it was useless to be annoyed, the Clippers must now face the risk of being equalized!

Yiyang took the baseline ball, he did not increase the speed very fast, but walked according to the rhythm he liked.

When he was about to get to the three-point line, Gobert still blocked Yiyang as always. Yiyang dribbled to the side of the block, but did not accelerate the breakthrough, but seemed to shoot.

Paul didn't jump this time, he just tried to make up for it! Sure enough, it's a Buddha worship!

After worshipping the Buddha, Yiyang knocked the ball to his right hand with a crossover very smoothly, and it looked like he was going to shoot again!

Paul couldn't tell which of Yiyang's throws was a fake throw and which was an ordinary dribble, because all of that guy's movements were very realistic. The only thing he can do now is to continue to move sideways to block.

Just as Paul moved sideways and blocked Yiyang, Yiyang changed direction again! This time, he accelerated directly after changing direction three times in a row. Paul, who was continuously shaken by Yiyang's center of gravity, had no time to react, so he had to watch Yiyang successfully reach the three-point line.

There was an exclamation at the scene, although Yiyang's movements were not complicated, they were just a continuous change of direction in front of the body. But his flurry movements and smooth hand changes are not as simple as they seem.

After Yiyang broke through the inside line from the middle, Gobert also quickly cut inside. I saw Yiyang watching Gobert raise the basketball, and the two seemed to be going to play an aerial relay!

This time, Jordan Jr. leaned in the direction of Gobert. But Yiyang didn't really pass the ball, and after deceiving Little Jordan, Yiyang took back the basketball and turned it into a pass. Easy and freehand without losing anger, Yiyang scored four points in a row to fill in the difference!

"This is simply the backyard of Yiyang's family, he can play as much as he wants!" Mike. Brin was covered in goosebumps when he saw it, and Yiyang's movements were beautiful and practical.

Yiyang, who played a little flashy in college, was deliberately transformed by Stevens, so most of the time, Yiyang looks like a preppy point guard. But in fact, he still has the blood that belongs to the streets. It's just that now, Yiyang has the ability to make the set of street bells and whistles more practical and apply it to the game.

Scoring four points in a row was undoubtedly a wake-up call for Paul. He knew that Yiyang had jumped out of the box to stabilize the situation and began to give it a go.

Paul is no longer soft, and with more than two minutes left in the game, everyone should not hide it. This time, instead of blocking the pick-and-roll, Paul walked to the right side of the basket alone and motioned for everyone to pull away.

The fans stood up, and what was originally a boring and silent game turned into a cool point guard battle without warning!

When it comes to dribbling, Paul is no worse than Yiyang. Paul quickly changed hands, then suddenly accelerated to the left.

Yiyang knew that it was most likely Paul's feint, but he had to block it. If it is not blocked, Paul can directly get rid of himself at this time.

After Yiyang moved, Paul pulled the ball that had bounced to the left behind without slowing down, and switched from behind to his right hand. Without slowing down and changing direction, this action is simply breathtaking to appear on the NBA court.

After breaking through Yiyang, Paul went straight to the basket. Gobert flew in and covered the basketball, but he couldn't stop the car and knocked Paul off the line. Defensive fouls, Paul's offense is still successful!

"You know what, Kevin, I feel like I'm not in Staples right now, I'm on the streets of Los Angeles! It's so exciting, and the duel with Chris is breathtaking! ”

Paul hit two free throws to give the Clippers a two-point lead. Paul's response also officially kicked off the war between the two! Now, what they want is not to stabilize the situation, but to kill each other while preserving themselves!

The competition gradually became fierce and the pace increased. This time, Yiyang motioned for Gobert to quickly take the baseline shot. Before the Clippers' return defense was in place, Yiyang began to sprint.

Just past the halfway line, the clever Iguodala blocked Yiyang. This time Paul was a whole position behind Yiyang.

But by this time, Griffin had already returned to the three-second zone. Looking at this guy who entered the league a year later than himself, but has already won the MVP twice, "White Monster" doesn't mind using a big risk to remind Yiyang whose territory it is.

Yiyang's speed was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, he burst into the three-second zone, and then hugged the basketball and went straight to the basket!

In the first step, Yiyang stepped to the right. But in the second step, Yiyang stepped to the left. A European step with a great arc of change of direction made Yiyang shake off Griffin and successfully made a layup again!

6 points in a row! Although Yiyang is a "pass-first" style defender, he is not relentless when you need him to step up and score!

At this point in the game, whoever missed first between Paul and Yiyang actually lost. The score was levelised again and now the pressure is on Paul.

Paul confused Gobert with a toss after a pick-and-roll, actually passing the ball to Jordan Jr. for an empty catch. The Clippers went ahead again, and Paul held on for another game.

Subsequently, Yiyang changed hands in the air to make a layup to avoid Jordan Jr.'s block and scored 8 points in a row. The score was levelised again and the pressure fell on Paul again.

At this point, there was only one minute left until the end of the game. Whoever misses, loses. The duel between the top point guards has come to the most brutal stage!

Paul's step-back mid-range shot was seriously interfered with by Yiyang, but the ball still fell into the net without danger, and the Clippers continued to overtake!

Yiyang, who scored eight points in a row, plunged into the crowd and attracted the Clippers to four people, and finally he calmly distributed the ball to Dirk. Dirk's mid-range was as stable as ever, and Yiyang equalized the score again.

30 seconds, the winner is still not decided. The duel between Paul and Yiyang was really very anxious.

This time, as soon as Paul crossed the halfway line, he was hit by Yiyang's "death entanglement". Griffin had to mention setting up cover for Paul near midfield, but Yiyang used Griffin as the axis and returned to Paul with a very flexible turn.

The cover continues, and Paul is a man who is very good at making use of space. As long as Griffin can hang on to Yiyang a little, he will have the confidence to continue scoring goals!

But Yiyang's enthusiasm made Griffin's blocking and dismantling effect minimal, and less than a second after Paul got rid of Yiyang, the yellow-skinned guy appeared in front of him.

Somewhat tired, Paul finally used an emergency stop crotch pull back action, shook Yiyang a step away, and then shot directly!

As everyone knows, Yiyang's desire to defend is extremely strong. He jumps directly at a distance of one step, with a frightening height and excellent arm length. Relying on this hard work, I was stunned to interfere with Paul's shooting!

In the last leg, Paul scored despite being interfered with. This round, he was not so lucky.

The orange Spalding basketball hit the front of the basket in anticipation of the Los Angeles fans, and Gobert leaned back hard to squeeze Jordan Jr. out of the three-second zone, then stretched out his long arm and jumped lightly to grab the rebound! At that moment, it was a complete failure of the Clippers' offense in this round!

"Missed, Chris actually missed in the duel first! They couldn't put the score over again, and in the last 20 seconds, it will be Yilai's turn to attack! ”

"Damn it!" Paul gritted his teeth, pulled his leg and ran to the backfield. Yiyang curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and fought for 47 minutes and 30 seconds, he finally waited for this chance to win the game!

Since you missed first, then don't blame me for taking the victory away! Yellow skin can't rule the NBA? Today, Yiyang is going to prove a promotional slogan of the NBA in Los Angeles.

A miracle happens here!
