Chapter 595: You're the understudy
Qiu Yiyang's incredible "battle of the flu" has dominated almost all sports channel programs. In Dallas, countless fans poured into the streets to hold up placards to show their support for Yiyang. Even when there was no competition, there were people outside the arena at the American Airlines Center, just waiting for Yiyang to enter and leave the training gym and pay their respects to the heroes of Dallas.
Yiyang, the Chinese name, has become the pride of the American city of Dallas. When it comes to Dallas, many people don't think of White Rock Lake and the President Kennedy Monument, but Yiyang, a yellow-skinned and black-haired guy.
In the eyes of fans and teammates, Yiyang is a hero, but in the eyes of Wen Xue and Vignary, Yiyang is the number one fool in this world.
"Do you know how much I was worried about watching the whole game!? With a total of 82 games in the regular season, can a win in one game be more important than your health!? On the phone, Vignarie's yelling nearly burst Yiyang's eardrums.
In four years, Yiyang found that this seemed to be the first time Vignari had lost her temper. However, this reason for losing his temper will not make the relationship between the two crack, but will make Yiyang a little secretly proud.
Now I am no longer the Asian kid that no one cared about at the beginning.
Some people care about whether Yiyang wins or not, naturally, there are also people who care about whether Yiyang is tired or not.
Although he was scolded by Vignary, Yiyang couldn't stop giggling after answering the phone. This made Wen Xue worry for a long time, shouldn't her son be burned stupidly?
It turns out that Yiyang was not only stupid, but after he recovered from his illness, this guy simply seamlessly connected to the excellent state before he was sick.
After a day off after defeating the Raptors, the Dallas Mavericks continued their long road trip in January. This time, their destination is New Orleans.
Before the start of the game, Nowitzki accidentally sprained his knee in training, which undoubtedly made Carlisle quite irritable.
Yiyang's flu was just right, and I thought that the Mavericks could finally show their strength. Yes, Yiyang is fine, Nowitzki kneels again. For the first time this season, Carlisle greeted the families of league officials for the first time this season.
Thankfully, Dirk only suffered a mild sprain in his knee and was fine with a one-game break. So this game in New Orleans became the new champion of the Hornets Anthony Hornets. Davis's Paradise.
Without Nowitzki's suppression, Anthony. Davis was completely liberated. The Mavericks' height at the No. 4 position has been criticized, with the exception of Nowitzki, Marion and DeJuan. Blair is just over two metres old.
This makes Anthony with thick eyebrows. Davis was misplaced almost every time he held the ball, and he showed his talent to be unstoppable inside and out.
After averaging only 13 points per game in his rookie season, he has skyrocketed to 20 points per game this season. He can shoot well, and his skills under the basket are quite solid, which can be described as a typical representative of the modern star inside.
Even Marion, who often plays the No. 3 position, feels that he has a hard time biting the 2.08-meter-tall "Thick Eyebrow Brother".
A modern star interior lineman whose offensive range will be more than just a three-second zone. And the running speed must be able to keep up with the rhythm of the little people. Anthony. Davis was undoubtedly the best of the bunch, and he played well.
With 21 points and 13 rebounds in the game, Davis showed his top-level talent to the fullest.
But unfortunately, Yiyang made Davis's large two pairs meaningless. Lost Chris. After Paul, the Hornets simply don't have a guard player who is on par with Yiyang. Eric. Although Gordon is very willing to fight on the defensive end, he still can't contain Yiyang's play due to his lack of height and reach.
With 34 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block, Yiyang announced his return with a double-double statistic that was more exaggerated than Davis's after his illness. In fact, the game he played in Toronto when he was sick the day before yesterday was high-profile enough.
"If a guy can score 13 points in two minutes with a fever, I'm not surprised if he has 34 points and 13 assists when he's healthy." Chris. Weber stood behind the commentary podium and gave Yiyang a round of applause.
He wasn't supposed to be the commentator for today's game, but the former Kings legend made a request to come to New Orleans to commentate on the game. The purpose is to see the follow-up performance of the magic Yiyang.
However, Yiyang did not disappoint him. His excellent performance allowed the Mavericks to beat the fourth-to-last Hornets in the West 107-90 on the road, bringing the winning streak to 22 games, and another 22-game winning streak that made Chinese fans excited!
The combination of Yao Ming and Maddie undoubtedly made Chinese fans feel extremely painful, both of them ended their careers early due to injuries, and they have never won any serious individual honors. But they still left the Chinese fans with a lot of impressive things, and their 22-game winning streak is one of them.
And now, a guy who is not as tall as Yao Ming has picked up the basketball dreams of countless Chinese again.
Yiyang's 22-game winning streak this time was more pure than Yao Ming's, because not all of the Rockets' 22 victories that year were related to Yao Ming. Yao Ming collapsed when the team won 12 in a row, and the remaining 10 consecutive wins were experienced as a bystander.
But Yiyang is different, and all of the Mavericks' 22-game winning streak has been directly involved in him. In these 22 games, Yiyang was able to average 32.6 points and 12.3 assists per game. Two of those games were over 40 and one was over 50. If it weren't for the fact that Yiyang "only" scored 13 points in the last game, his statistics would be even more beautiful.
Therefore, although it is also a 22-game winning streak, Yiyang's importance in it is incomparable to Yao Ming back then.
With a 22-game winning streak, the Dallas Mavericks players were not overwhelmed by the pressure, but became more and more excited.
On Jan. 26, the Mavericks finally returned to their home arena at the U.S. Route Center. With the enthusiastic support of the fans, they crushed the fourth-to-last Pistons in the East here. Bottom-tier teams like the Pistons and Hornets have no way to pose a threat to the Mavericks.
This game, Bill. Duffy watched the game at the U.S. Route Center arena in person, and two of his most profitable defenders didn't disappoint.
Jennings smoked the wind today, scoring 26 points in the game and shooting an impressive 55.6% from the field. Yiyang's defense is as tight as ever, but once Jennings's "convulsive" is pumped, there is no reason to talk about it.
Although Jennings' performance was outstanding, Yiyang's 30 points and 11 plays were enough, which undoubtedly overwhelmed the rookie who was at his peak.
Yiyang and Jennings can be said to be evenly matched today, but the overall performance of the Mavericks and Pistons is far from the same.
Under Yiyang's organization, the Mavericks got a lot of open shots today. The Pistons who conquered the league with iron-blooded defense back then are dead, and the current Pistons team is a complete mess defensively.
With their high offensive efficiency, the Mavericks finally settled the battle 116-106 at home. Nowitzki and Iguodala both scored 20 points each, won 23 in a row, and the Dallas Mavericks were instantly written in the third place in history!
Now, the Mavericks are just four games away from the second-longest winning streak in NBA history, and the 27-game winning streak that the Miami Heat created last season! People are looking forward to it, looking forward to Yiyang being able to lead the calf to continue to create miracles!
"27 wins in a row? That's just a record. If the Mavericks have the ability to break, then go for it. In the face of questions from reporters, James didn't seem to care about how many games the Mavericks won in the regular season. Even though the 23-game winning streak threatens the all-time record he set last season, James is also useless.
Indeed, James is now all about winning championships, and those things in the regular season are no longer of interest to him.
What if we have an 82-game winning streak in the regular season? When it comes to the playoffs, it doesn't mean anything.
James' point of view turned out to be very sensible. Just when everyone else was expecting the Mavericks to keep their winning streak on the rise, something dramatic happened.
On January 29, the Mavericks faced the Houston Rockets, the fierce architects of the 22-game winning streak that had just been surpassed.
Although the current Rockets team has no entanglement with the Rockets team back then, from the head coach to the players, they have all changed again. But in the eyes of the fans, they are still one.
This game is known as the battle for the Rockets to defend their own record. Although the record has been broken, if the Rockets can win the game on the Mavericks' 23-game winning streak, it is also a proof of their own strength.
Before the game began, Yiyang's old enemy Howard threatened that he would definitely be the Mavericks' streak finisher. And this time, Howard finally did what he said.
The Rockets played this game like chicken blood, and 7 people scored double-doubles in the whole game! Howard, Harden and "Rich" Chandler. The three Parsons combined to score 68 points.
The Mavericks' performance is still excellent, but unfortunately, the Rockets' performance has even exceeded the expectations of the Rockets fans themselves. The Rockets shot 65% from the field throughout the game, and Yiyang believes that this number can only be seen in NBA2K games today.
At this point, the Mavericks' winning streak is fixed at the number 23. Although it failed to rush to the second place in history, the top three in history are definitely powerful enough. It's been almost two months since the Mavericks' losing column numbers were finally changed.
With 41 wins and 5 losses, the Dallas Mavericks are still the team with the best record in the league, and there is no one.
It was precisely because the Rockets defeated the best team in the league that Howard was very arrogant after the game!
"If the Mavericks had met us earlier, they wouldn't have racked up their winning streak that much. We became the first team in the league to win at the U.S. Route Center this season, and that's the real battle. With a winning streak, the Mavericks can only steal from the weak! After all, their star is just an All-Star backup guard. In the media reception room, Howard didn't save any face for Yiyang. Due to Kobe's injury this season, the news that Harden will replace the "Black Mamba" as the starting quarterback of the Western Stars team has made the entire rest of the city quite excited.
You know, this is the first All-Star starter from the Rockets since the "post-Yao Ming era"!
And Howard also took advantage of this incident to show off to the media, of course, by the way, he didn't forget to step on Yiyang.
Hearing Howard say this, Mougin, who was sitting underneath, smiled.
"I'm afraid you haven't figured it out yet, Mr. Dwight." Mougins stood up suddenly, interrupting Warcraft's signature sunny smile.
"It's not an All-Star bench, and the results of this season's All-Star voting have just come out. also won the score of 2458278 votes, beating Chris. Paul, selected to the starting lineup of the NBA Western Conference Stars! By the way, by the way. 2458278 votes also made him the king of votes for this year's All-Star Game! And you, you're the backup center for the Western Stars, congratulations! Mougins also deliberately pronounced the word "substitute" very heavily in the end.
Looking at Howard's surprised and uncomfortable expression, Mougins smiled and sat back in his place.
Although the Mavericks lost today, such a thing as being selected as an All-Star starter and being elected as the vote king should be able to make up for some of the regrets of losing.....
