"Manu is simply amazing! 16 points in a single quarter, this must be a joke, right? You know, the guy with a ring of hair missing from the top of his head is 33 years old! What exactly did Popovich say to Manu during that timeout at the end of the first quarter? The Spurs guys must be robots, and as long as Popovich presses the button in his hand, they can play an inhuman performance! "After the end of the first quarter, Kenny. Smith has been emphasizing Ginobili's 16 points in a single quarter.

It's no wonder that the only bright spot in the first quarter was Manu's 16 points. Without his 16 points in a single quarter, the score between the two sides must still be very anxious now, and the viewing is certainly not as good as it is now.

As for Yiyang, another bright spot that fans were expecting, he didn't seem to have managed to light up in the first quarter. And this is also the problem that Carlisle must solve at the moment.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Carlisle intended to play Kidd first. After making arrangements for the players who were about to play, the academy coach sat next to Yiyang.

"You're too timid." Carlisle didn't beat around the bush and pointed out Yiyang's problems in the first quarter of the game.

"I ...... I'm afraid of making mistakes. Yiyang didn't quibble, that's not his character.

"Hey, let go and do it. You don't really think that those guys are Popovich's army of robots, do you? Perhaps in order to relieve Yiyang's pressure, Carlisle also made a rare joke with Yiyang.

"Is there a difference between those guys and robots?" Yiyang thought to himself, but shook his head on the surface.

"That's right, as long as you are human, you can't really be perfect. Don't be too nervous, I'll want you to increase your shots when you're on the court later. Of course, I'm not calling you singles. When the time comes, I'll set up some pick-and-roll tactics and some pass-and-cut combinations for you. Believe me, San Antonio Spurs, it's not like they can't be beaten by singles. Carlisle finished speaking, patted Yiyang on the shoulder, and then continued to walk to the sideline and yelled.

It wasn't long before Carlisle's words were fulfilled. As long as you are human, you can't be truly perfect. This applies even to Parker, the Spurs' point guard.

The Frenchman first had a bad pass that allowed Kidd to lead a fast break. Parker then had several shots jammed by Kidd and all of them were ironed.

It was also taking advantage of this opportunity that the Mavericks scored consecutive points and were about to close the difference. Thankfully, the expressionless No. 21 big man stepped up in time and stopped the Spurs with a beautiful turnaround jumper on Nowitzki's head.

At this point, the Spurs were just one point ahead of the Mavericks. Popovich was naturally dissatisfied with Parker's performance, and Ginobili, who scored 16 points in the first quarter of the game, is now also sent by Carlisle. Stevens watched very tightly and couldn't get a chance to make a move.

Then the Mavericks' offense, although Marion missed the shot, the Spurs still had a one-point advantage. But Popovich called a timeout anyway because the game had actually started to tilt in favor of the Mavericks.

Unlike Carlisle's sluggish on-the-spot reactions, Popovich would stop the game as soon as he saw the slightest hint of something bad. Perhaps, this is also where the gap between the two lies.

"You're not as good as a rookie, Tony!" Don't look at the French, who have been following the old man Bobo for many years, but when it is time to scold, the old man is unambiguous.

However, just getting angry can't solve the problem, and after scolding, adjustments still have to be made. Parker and Ginobili certainly won't be on the court anymore, and Popovich is using George Brown. Hill and this year's undrafted rookie Gary. Neil replaced the two wagons on the backcourt line.

On the other side, Carlisle replaced Kidd, who had been playing six minutes. In addition, Terry was used to replace Stevens, who lacked firepower on the offensive end.

Both coaches have played tricks on the back line, although the matchup between Dirk and Duncan remains the focus of the game. But the balance of victory and defeat is actually controlled by the back lines of both sides.

"Also re-introduced, the rookie guard who blew up Westbrook in the last game has yet to put in a decent performance today. However, Coach Carlisle still has a lot of trust in him, let's take a look at what kind of performance Tanhua can show when he loses the draft. The American commentators immediately shifted the topic to Yiyang.

Yiyang was not careless because he was facing a rookie who was not drafted, he knew very well that the Spurs' Taobao ability was beyond doubt. What's more, Gary. Neil has also shown with his performance that the scouts are negligent in their work. Such an excellent defender was not selected. And this kind of guy is often the Spurs' favorite to dig.

Neil's attitude is conscientious, this guy lowers his center of gravity, spreads his arms, and always keeps a distance from Yiyang. Obviously, Popovich asked him to do this.

Yiyang ignored Neil's defense, but jumped directly and made a powerful pass with both hands in the air. The basketball flew through the crowd and landed just right into the hands of Terry, who was in position in the bottom left corner.

Terry catches the ball and throws it, but George. Hill's forward pounce was ferocious, but it greatly surprised the "jet". In the end, the three-pointer stumbled out of the frame, Duncan grabbed the rebound, and the Mavericks had to go back in vain.

After the Spurs played past, George. Hill raised his hand for the ball directly at the left corner. At the same time, the others started to run and try to empty the strong side as much as possible.

George. Hill, another masterpiece of the Spurs' low-pick Taobao. This guy's strong physique and exaggerated reach make him a whole size bigger than Terry.

Hill caught the ball and made a triple threat move to break through, Hill's athleticism isn't top-notch, but his first move was excellent. This first step of speed is more than enough to break through Terry.

Seeing this, Tyson immediately made up for the basket, for fear that Hill would impact the basket. However, Hill used his own mid-range pull-up jump shot to make Tyson's defense useless. Two-point hit. Instead of tying the score, the Mavericks turned the margin to three points.

"Be positive! Be more positive! After Yiyang received the baseline ball, Carlisle immediately shouted on the sidelines. If you want to say that the coach in the league likes to shout on the sidelines, Carlisle can definitely make the top three. When it was exaggerated, Carlisle would shout a tactic from the sidelines every time he attacked.

Yiyang knew that if he didn't do what Carlisle asked, then this guy would shout like this all night. Increase your own aggressiveness? Then give it a try!

After half the court, raise your hand to block and dismantle. Yiyang skillfully directs the attack, and Tyson is also very willing to set up cover for his little brother.

Yiyang paused after bypassing the cover, Neil, who was ready to chase back, obviously didn't expect Yiyang to slow down. He forced himself to brake and tried to continue to block in front of Yiyang, but just when Neil just stopped, Yiyang sprinted again!

This time, Neil was completely unable to keep up with Yiyang's breakthrough. Defense isn't Neil's forte, and the guy's athleticism is limited. This kind of thing is something that can't be compared to Yiyang.

Yiyang easily shook off the Spurs' undrafted pick, stepped into the three-second zone in two big steps, and jumped to the basket.

The stout Blair flew sideways to make up for the defense, and Yiyang was not frightened by the sudden appearance of the "black bear". He calmly withdrew the ball in his arms in the air, and only sent it back up when he dodged Blair's defense from the side. The basketball entered the net lightly, and Yiyang used a lever to make a layup and successfully won his first point of the game!

"Sharp breakthroughs and wonderful layups, hopefully we can keep that performance going." Kenny. Smith is starting to get a little excited, and he knows very well that the momentum of this Dallas No. 1 usually gets stronger and stronger.

The Spurs attacked again, and Duncan's back-to-back hook was missed by Nowitzki's defense. Chandler protected the rebound, and the Mavericks had another chance to overtake the score.

Yiyang didn't have any energy, and still called a block. It's just that this time, the person who set up the cover for Yiyang changed from Chandler to Dirk.

Yiyang and Nowitzki's blocking and pick-and-roll coordination is very skillful. Popovich knows very well how fast Yiyang is, so he set up the players to change the defense immediately!

Bypass Nowitzki and shake off Gary. Neil, who was lying on the ground in front of Yiyang, became that stone-like man!

After the dislocation was formed, Yiyang did not break through immediately, but carried it twice under the crotch on the spot. In this formation, Yiyang is going to fight with Duncan alone!

Immediately, there were boos in the ATT center. Who does this little furry boy think he is? Bryant. Bryant?

Of course, Yiyang doesn't think he's Kobe, he just knows that Duncan is a smart person. You can't deal with smart people in that simple and crude way.

I have to admit that Duncan's defense was really flawless. Yiyang's breakthrough route was almost completely blocked, but with Gary. Like Neil, Duncan also kept a distance from Yiyang.

So, Yiyang suddenly took a step forward, but after Duncan made physical contact, he pulled his crotch back, as if he was ready to shoot!

Duncan, who has studied the video of Yiyang's game, knows very well that although this Chinese does not shoot many three-pointers, his mid-range jumper is still quite accurate. So the "No. 21 rookie" stretched out his long arm and took a big step forward.

Yiyang didn't dodge, but took the initiative to bump into Duncan's forward pounce and made a shooting move.

"Damn it!" Popovich cursed, and sure enough, the next second, the referee's hurried whistle sounded throughout the audience!

"Hahaha, can you believe it? A rookie actually made a foul on the head of the experienced Duncan! Look at Coach Popovich's irascible expression, he must hate the referee to death in his heart now! There was a burst of laughter from the commentary stage, and Duncan stared blankly at the rookie in front of him, he didn't expect a rookie to dare to make such an attempt.

Even though the whole court exploded, Yiyang high-fived his teammates expressionlessly, and then slowly walked to the free throw line. Duncan suddenly smiled, this guy is really a little similar to himself.

Yiyang's 89% free throw shooting rate this season allowed him to hit two free throws again. And this is also the first time that the Mavericks have taken the lead since the last 1 minute of the first quarter of the game!

Yi's free throws helped the Mavericks take the lead, and he did it all on Duncan's head. Will the situation be reversed? ”

The outcome of the match was still undecided, but Carlisle showed his first relaxed smile since the start of the game. Yiyang has begun to play a role, so the game will also develop in a more active direction.

You have a demon knife with 16 points in a single quarter, and I have a tenacious lightning!
