Watching the young No. 1 step onto the court as a starter, Pistons coach John Brown. Kuster was also suddenly stunned. But after a second, he immediately regained his composure.

While the Mavericks' Tanhua has indeed played well since he entered the league, Carlisle has made him a starter at this time, which is not necessarily a bad thing for the Pistons.

The Mavericks let Yiyang start, perhaps not just because Yiyang's performance impressed Carlisle. It's because Kidd's physical strength can't support him to continue playing as a starter!

Kidd still has Yiyang on his side to share the pressure with him, so the other Mavericks players who are fighting back-to-back are not so lucky. Kuster wasn't nervous because Yiyang was suddenly mentioned to start, on the contrary, he felt that it was a proof of the Mavericks' emptiness right now!

Pistons point guard Ronnie. Starki wasn't too wary of Yiyang, a rookie making his first start, nothing to fear. Even though he is a flower show, and his performance has been really good recently. But Yiyang is not strong enough to make Starkey nervous.

Regardless of whether Yiyang is ready or not, no matter what fans and commentators think of Yiyang's start. The referee still blew his whistle on time and threw the basketball high into the air!

Pistons center Ben. Wallace's height on the profile is 2.06 meters, but this figure definitely adds the length of his explosive head back then. Now that he has changed his hairstyle, he looks like he is about two meters tall, and he is not much taller than Starki. Moreover, the 36-year-old Ben is not at all as good as before.

Therefore, Tyson. Chandler easily snatched the basketball away from the big book. And the orange-red ball was impartial, and it just fell into Yiyang's hands.

The Pistons immediately set up a defensive formation, and the Mavericks players dragged their tired bodies slowly towards the opposing half. Auburn Hills Palace Stadium immediately erupted in loud boos, with everyone hoping that the Mavericks, who were fighting back-to-back, would get into a bitter battle here.

Yiyang was not in a hurry, although he had experienced two consecutive defeats of grievance, he was now full of momentum, and he wished that he would knock the Pistons to the ground with three or two blows. But he knew he couldn't win the game on his own. He had to wait for his teammates to get in position before he could start organising the first attack of the game.

Although it was his first start, Yiyang did not seem nervous or rusty. After all, Yiyang actually played a little longer than Kidd in most games. And you can't think of a team's sixth man as a substitute either.

For example, Ginobili of the Spurs, who would treat that guy as a substitute?

Yiyang gestured skillfully and calmly controlled the ball. He doesn't look like a rookie at all, but like a veteran player who has been on the court for years.

Just when Starkey opened his arms and was engrossed in guarding against Yiyang's breakthrough. Yiyang smashed the basketball directly to the ground, a long-distance ground pass, the basketball passed through the crowd, impartially, and was passed into the hands of Stevens, who was standing in the left corner.

Stevens, who lacks offensive ability, naturally will not act rashly, and Yiyang's pass is not for assists, but to hit the ball to Nowitzki's side!

Stevens received the ball and immediately made a pass and hoisted it inside. Big Ben, who had defensive blood flowing in his body, immediately asked for a change of defense and stuck behind the German.

Although he is 36 years old, Ben. Wallace's downside is still very stable. Nowitzki probed his back twice, and he knew it wasn't a good idea to hit this guy hard.

But Nowitzki, perhaps the most versatile offensive power forward in NBA history, won't be affected by this. Pushing inward could not be realized, Nowitzki made a mistake and directly turned over and retreated independently.

The 2-meter-tall Ben tried hard to block it, but the height gap between him and the German was too great. Nowitzki was barely disturbed and calmly threw the ball away.

Under the boos of the Pistons fans, Dirk's shot hit steadily! Suddenly, the Auburn Hills Palace Stadium became silent! It seems that today, the Mavericks, who are fighting back-to-back, are not going to let the Pistons get their wish!

Although they were scored in the opening game, the Pistons were not discouraged. After an offensive by Ronnie. Starkey hits the basket with the ball directly. The best way to crush an overstretched team is to use constant onslaught to break them down. For calves, the same applies to the method.

It's a pity that Starkey seems to have forgotten that the opponent in front of him is not Kidd, but Yiyang, who is desperate for victory!

Yiyang's tough block completely disrupted Starkey's layup rhythm. Before the "boxing king" could make a move, Yiyang interfered with Starki's layup and missed.

Seeing this, the Pistons immediately quickly returned to defense. John. Kuster had already set up corresponding tactics against Yiyang, and he didn't want to see Yiyang complete a sneak attack at Auburn Hills Palace Stadium.

The Pistons' defense took shape immediately, but Yiyang still pushed forward unhurriedly. Drive the whole team, Yiyang must lead the whole team if he wants to win.

He waited patiently for his teammates to settle down one by one, and then, beckoning, Nowitzki to step forward to block the pick-and-roll.

The Germans don't care if Yiyang is a rookie or not, since the No. 1 position starts to call the shots, he just executes.

So, Dirk walked briskly to the top of the house. Coming out with Dirk, there's also the Pistons' rim barrier Ben. Wallace.

Yiyang did not hesitate, and immediately took advantage of Nowitzki's blocking and dismantling to break through. Ben, who was already moving relatively slowly, was certainly not going to switch gears, so Starkey had to bypass the pick-and-roll himself and catch up in time.

When Yiyang broke through to the middle distance, he suddenly turned back and made a move to pass the ball backwards.

"Break through the ball!?" Starkey and Big Ben both frowned, Nowitzki stayed outside the three-point line after the pick-and-roll, and if Yiyang managed to pass the ball, Dirk would have a three-point shot.

Starkey reacted immediately and prepared for a steal. However, the basketball seemed to be glued to Yiyang's hand and did not pass it out.

"Fake fax on!" Watching Yiyang take two big strides to the basket after making a pass to fool Starkey, Kenny. Smith is clapping!

Without any pressure, Yiyang easily hit a layup. With just one feint, Yiyang played the entire defense of the Pistons. Nowitzki, after all, is what all Pistons players fear. Even if Yiyang just acts like he wants to pass the ball to the Germans, it will make everyone on the Pistons tense their nerves!

"Damn it!" Starkey unwillingly picked up the basketball from the ground, and he had just been played by a rookie, which really made Starkey very unhappy.

This time, Starkey also intends to break through directly. After all, in terms of strength and height, Starkey does have the upper hand.

Looking at Starki, who was rushing straight towards him, Yiyang was not afraid. In people's eyes, Yiyang is undoubtedly a mantis arm blocking car. But in Yiyang's eyes, the imposing Starki is simply full of loopholes!

Just when the two were about to collide together, Yiyang suddenly sprinted forward with a brisk step, his long arm quickly reached out, and his big hand slapped the basketball. Starkey instantly lost control of the basketball, and Yiyang accelerated again to get the ball steadily, but he stumbled under his feet and was about to fall.

At this time, Yiyang dribbled with one hand and pushed the ground with the other, stabilizing the center of gravity. After that, a yellow lightning bolt sliced through the stadium of the Palace of Auburn Hills!

Starkey, who was chasing after the Dallas One, had to watch Yiyang jump high, then put the ball behind his head with both hands and slammed it into the frame!

"Boom!" There was a loud bang from the basket, as if a huge thunder was encircling the whole of Detroit.

"Ahh After Yiyang dunked successfully, he let out a low roar. This is his encouragement to himself!

Watching Yiyang complete the steal and then dunk it successfully, the psychological fire of the other players of the Mavericks seems to have been completely ignited by Yiyang.

Even a rookie works so hard, how can we give up easily because of back-to-back!?

"Well done!" When Yiyang returned to the half, Nowitzki took the initiative to step forward and high-five Yiyang.

"Everyone, be serious, we can't admit defeat yet!" After that, Nowitzki shouted at the others on the field.

Carlisle smiled with satisfaction, the mental state of the Mavericks' starters was completely different from what they had just been.

That rookie No. 1 maybe, a natural leader!
