Chapter 473: The Most Popular Substitute?
The 12-13 season is still in full swing, and the situation in the West is as chaotic as ever. Upstart Oklahoma City Thunder are riding high, and the San Antonio Spurs are also showing signs of recovery this season. After trading away Anthony, the Nuggets ushered in a second spring, and the Los Angeles Clippers are heading for the top three in the West under Paul's leadership. James, who joined the Rockets and became the absolute leader. Harden also brought the Rockets back into the playoffs step by step.
And among them, the most unexpected "-stirring stick" is the Dallas Mavericks who have been in the limelight this season!
With Cuban missing out on Deron and Howard last summer, and Nowitzki having another half of the season out with an injury, people aren't actually bullish on the Mavericks. But then again, the Mavericks never seem to be favored.
Experts believe that with Yiyang's hard work, the Mavericks will be thankful if they can just reach the top eight. Worst of all, the Mavericks won't even be able to make the playoffs.
However, just when the outside world has been looking down on it, the duo of Yiyang and Mayo swept the entire league, allowing the Mavericks to occupy the first position in the West when they were at their highest!
Success is in Mayo, defeat is also in Mayo. After a short "sweet period" with the team, Mayo's performance began to "pick up". There are daily reports of Mayo going to nightclubs to splurge, and he doesn't seem to work very hard during the game. This guy has become the Mayo who was swept away by the Grizzlies.
Mayo's poor performance caused the Mavericks to lose a lot of games during that time, and it also had a big impact on the rankings. At this time, experts reaffirmed that the Mavericks' goal this season is still to barely make the playoffs. In this era of superstar huddles, no one believes that the Mavericks in a single-core configuration can succeed, let alone that their core is so young.
In order to solve Mayo's weak problem, Carlisle had to let Yiyang take on the role of shooting guard, but what no one expected was that Carlisle's helpless move made the Mavericks usher in their second climax this season......
"Ricky. Rubiona can't do anything about it! He wasn't strong enough, and he wasn't fast enough to traverse. It was so easy to score tonight, and he relentlessly ravaged Rubio's nerves, and so far, he has scored 32 points! ”
Mike. As soon as Brin's words fell, Yiyang leaned on Rubio and forced a layup. 32 points have been made in the past, and now Yiyang's scoring record is 34 points!
After this goal was hit, the old coach Rick, who is very familiar to Chinese fans. Adelman had to call a timeout for the Timberwolves. 2 minutes, 18 points. What the players did in these two minutes, these are all things that Adelman needs to set up well.
Although the game is not over yet, although it is not completely impossible to chase 18 points in 2 minutes. But on the commentary bench, Barkley has already bothered up, and in his opinion, the game is completely over.
Yiyang scored 34 points and Nowitzki 23 points. When both of the Mavericks score above 20, the Mavericks rarely lose.
After the timeout came back, Carlisle put Yiyang on the bench as always. He doesn't need to play anymore, Yiyang has completed his mission.
"I didn't play either, and it seems that Coach Carlisle thinks the game is a sure deal. It's not for me to say, in the case of Love's injury, the Timberwolves' offensive firepower is indeed weaker. With 2 minutes and 18 minutes, there is only a theoretical possibility for the Timberwolves to reverse the game. ”
"He scored 30+ points again, and he had 11 assists today. The two pairs of 30+10 don't seem to be a difficult thing for Yi. In the second half of the season, the numbers showed a crazy momentum. What do you think caused this to happen? Now that there is no suspense about the game, O'Neill is too lazy to continue chatting with Barkley about the game. So, the two simply turned the topic to Yiyang, who has been on fire recently.
"It's also known to be a pass-first point guard. In the first two seasons, Yiyi also had scorers like Dirk and Jett around, so Yiyi had a lot of assists, but his scoring statistics were tepid. Earlier this season, the Mavericks had a short-lived Mayo. At that time, Mayo scored 30+ points in several consecutive games, most of which came from Yiyang's direct assists. Mayo became the Mavericks' leading scorer, and he willingly created opportunities for Mayo. Later, Mayo's form declined and he couldn't shoulder the weight of scoring, and Dirk returned from injury, but his form was up and down. The only scoring point that the Mavericks can count on is Yiyang. Barkley recalled Yiyang's various experiences this season, and this kid's transformation did not appear suddenly.
Therefore, Yiyang had to score. You can't always count on making Darren. Collison and Carter Sr. serve as the team's scorers. As it turns out, he can do the scoring load. He's definitely a jack-of-all-trades player, you need him to defend, and he can keep Westbrook on the black line again and again. You need him to organize, he can do assists in ways you wouldn't expect. If you need him to score, his performances in recent times are the best proof of that. 62 points in a game, 52 points in a game, 49 points in a game and many 30+ points, these statistics are also spelled with a super high shooting rate. I believe that after this season, I will definitely be able to be called a superstar. Barkley finished and looked at O'Neal.
This time, O'Neill didn't contradict Barkley's words. Yiyang has been like this all this time, what else can he refute?
While the two commentators were chatting, the referee finally blew his whistle. 113-98, the Mavericks beat the Timberwolves at home to make it a three-game winning streak. With 31 wins and 13 losses, the Mavericks' results continue to heat up, and they are now back in the top four in the West.
For another victory of the Mavericks and Yiyang's 30+10 double-double data, reporters and fans are no longer surprised. If the Mavericks can't win today, and Yiyang can't cut two doubles, people will be surprised.
Wins and stats have become the norm for the Mavericks for nearly a month.
Then, from mid-January to mid-February, before the All-Star break began, the Mavericks went on a nine-game winning streak. In the good atmosphere of the team's consecutive victories, the form of Nowitzki and others has also begun to pick up. Except, of course, Mayo. This guy is now an average rotation player, occasionally playing well and occasionally playing poorly, but he's lost his leadership position on the team.
In the final game before the All-Star break, the Mavericks defeated the Sacramento Kings by a huge 23-point margin at home.
Yiyang's nemesis Cousins cut a 17+13 double-double today, but he still can't beat Yiyang, who scored 33 points, 12 assists and 3 steals. The score difference in this game faithfully reflected the scene of the game, and from the first minute of the game, Yiyang was firmly in control of the situation. With Yiyang's help, the Mavericks scored double-doubles with 5 people, and Carter Sr. frequently received Yiyang's wonderful passes outside the three-point line to get opportunities, and scored a season-high 26 points with a three-pointer on 6-of-9 shooting!
Yiyang, this guy can not only score by himself, but also let the old guy have a "back to the light" performance. After this game, ESPN released the latest edition of the MVP candidate rankings. On the list, LeBron. James is still number one, and this horror guy is perfect both in terms of stats and team results.
And the person in second place is no longer Kevin. Durant! Yiyang successfully entered the top two and squeezed Durant to the third place!
"It's terrifying, the race for regular season MVP has never been so fierce! Originally, we all thought that this season would be a one-man show for LeBron and Durant, the old and young forwards. As everyone knows, the halfway kill has added a lot of surprises to this season. I love this kid and without him there would be a lot of lack of fun this season! Even the Lakers famous Magic Johnson also praised Yiyang, and it seems that the management and celebrities of the Lakers are still undead on Yiyang.
The Lakers' lavish F4 lineup hasn't reached the heights expected this season, and it would have been nice if it had been Yiyang last summer......
All-Star Weekend is undoubtedly a relief from the intense regular season. For the first time, Yiyang felt that he could take a good breath during the All-Star Weekend.
The stars put aside their rivalries and simply enjoyed the fun of basketball. In this All-Star Game, Yiyang is still the backup point guard of the Western Stars. No way, Chris. The fame that Paul has accumulated over the years is not something that Yiyang can overturn in a year or two. Besides, Paul is in Los Angeles and has an unprecedentedly huge market, and many media outlets are also a little biased towards Paul.
Although Yiyang is still a substitute for the Western Stars, his popularity has peaked this year. When facing Gerald in the slam dunk contest. Green, Terrance. Rose, James. White, Eric. Bledsoe and Jeremy. Evans Six was so bored that the fans even chanted in unison: "We want to too!" ”
No way, Yiyang's performance in the slam dunk contest last year has been regarded as a classic. Until this year, people still lingered on his performances.
During the All-Star Game, Yiyang's playing time was basically the same as Paul's. Fans are willing to watch Yiyang play, and they don't feel that this substitute has been given special care.
"All I can say is that there are just too many good defenders in the West. MVP candidates like Yi can only appear as substitutes. I have to remind you that this season, he will likely become the fifth player in NBA history to win the regular season MVP as an All-Star bench. Whether he can make this history depends on his performance in the next two months! "At the end of the All-Star Game, Mike. Brin's words made fans look forward to the last two months of the regular season.
Whether Yiyang made history, or the likes of James and Durant continued to dominate the league. Or is there anyone who can suddenly stand out and beat a crowd of opponents in the last two months?
This kind of intense season full of suspense is really addictive.
