Chapter 693: I'm going to shoot here
The game against the Warriors was as difficult as expected, and Curry did have a different season than before.
In the playoffs last season, once Curry was suppressed by Yiyang, it was difficult to turn over. But today, after being watched to death by Yiyang in the first quarter of the game, Curry bottomed out and did not sit still.
He has begun to complete his transformation from star to superstar, and there are only a handful of point guards in this league who can play against Yiyang.
82 to 80, the score is still very anxious. In the fourth quarter, the success rate of the offense must be guaranteed, and if one or two offenses fail, the Warriors have a good chance of pulling the deficit apart.
"Also, do you want Jose to do it for you first?" Seeing Yiyang sweating profusely, Carlisle couldn't help but be a little worried about Yiyang's physical fitness. In order to contain Curry today, Yiyang is also running wild on the defensive end. Yiyang Da just finished an overtime the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday he also played to the end in back-to-back and completed the lore. Yesterday was just a day off, and today it was such a high-intensity game.
If it were someone else, there might have been a problem with physical fitness.
However, Yiyang just waved his hand. Jose. Barria is an excellent three-point point guard, but Yiyang also has to recognize the fact that Jose is no match for Curry at all.
Unless Curry is out of the game, he won't stop for a moment.
"No, when Stephen is gone, you can replace me."
Carlisle didn't retort and nodded. In this alliance, only Yiyang may be on par with Curry.
An electronic beep sounded, sounding the horn for a decisive battle. The Warriors had five players on the court, and Carlisle immediately spotted their personnel changes.
Azeli went off the field, and the little fat Spetz played the fifth position. Now in the Warriors' lineup, the tallest is 2.08 meters Speights. It can be said that the Mavericks have a huge height advantage.
But Carlisle is well aware that although the Warriors' interior players are short, they are all masters who can defend and grab. You look at Drummond. Green, this guy is just over 2 meters, but he doesn't suffer at all when he plays inside.
The same goes for Speight, who is short and stocky, but definitely hard. Whether it's defense or rebounding, it won't give the Mavericks much of an advantage.
To make matters worse, Speights' range was able to extend all the way beyond the three-point line. In other words, all five people on the Warriors court now have long-range shooting ability!
It seems that Cole is ready to solve the problem with the heaviest firepower.
"Infinite change of guard, change of guard!" Before the players came on, Carlisle changed his defensive strategy on the fly. Cole, Cole, you're a bold guy!
The game restarted with the Mavericks attacking first. The Warriors' roster is short, but it's not bad defensively.
Both Green and Speights are not weak and can withstand the onslaught of Gobert and Dirk.
Yiyang controlled the ball outside the three-point line and did not rush to break through. To defeat the Warriors, he must mobilize the offense of the whole team.
Green was defending Nowitzki while staring at Yiyang. In front of Yiyang today, he can be said to be humiliated. This face, Green must get it back before the end of the game!
Yiyang passed the ball to Iguodala and then played a hand-to-hand match. Harrison. Barnes had to change his defense, but Yiyang was looking for Barnes's point!
Barnes, despite his physical condition, is far less disciplined defensively. He is easy to shake, let alone face a person like Yiyang who is full of feints.
Yiyang shook his upper body, and Barnes was already a little unable to find the north. With an easy acceleration in front of the defender with a messy center of gravity, Yiyang smashed into the penalty area.
Green took advantage of the opportunity, leaving Dirk behind and running to the basket. Yiyang jumped up for a layup, and Green followed, waving his thick arms.
Don't look at Green's height is only more than 2 meters, but he is definitely a hot pot expert. Good point guards like Lillard, Wall, and even Paul have all tasted Green hot pot.
But it's clear that Yiyang doesn't like hot pot.
In the air, Yiyang, whose eyes were still fixed on the basket, withdrew the ball back to his waist and handed it out from Green's side.
No one knows how he sees his teammates, and he almost never gives a look when he passes the ball.
Nowitzki received the basketball and took a big step to dunk directly with both hands!
At this time, Green had just landed, and before he had time to react, Nowitzki bumped into him and dunked through him!
Green, who had his back to Nowitzki, had no idea what was going on, and was stumbled a little by a huge force.
"Separate people and deduct them! Hahaha, this may be the most domineering dunk in Dirk's career! "Mike. Brin laughed and clapped, Yiyang's pass was really unusual.
In fact, this ball is not strictly a dunk. Because Green had his back to Dirk, defenseless and unaware. Dirk didn't run into any obstacles, it was just that Green was right in front of him.
But visually, it's another buckle. Green was hit by Dirk and staggered a few steps forward, and Dirk didn't hold on to the basket because of his unstable center of gravity, and just dunked the ball into himself before it fell.
The ball was undoubtedly very morale-boosting, and Dirk screamed at the sky and slammed himself in the chest. What about Yiyang? Yiyang looked at Green with a disdainful smile, and Green was instantly angry!
After that, the Warriors attacked, and Green controlled the ball through the half. Point forwards aren't very common in the league, but Green is in a league of his own. This guy's excellent playmaking skills can get the most out of Curry and Thompson.
But just as Green was on the ball outside the three-point line, Yiyang suddenly rushed out from behind Nowitzki. Before Green could react to what was going on, the ball in his hand was taken away by Yiyang.
The basketball was not under anyone's control at this time, and Yiyang and Green both threw themselves towards the basketball.
In the end, Yiyang, who was faster, fell to the ground first and saved the basketball. Yiyang did not hesitate and immediately passed the ball forward. Iguodala quickly followed up, picked up the basketball and launched a fast break.
Yiyang just wanted to get up, but found that Green's scoundrel was actually pulling his own!
Yiyang couldn't control it so much now, so he directly shook it hard, shook off Green's hands, and then quickly followed up to participate in the attack.
By the time Iguodala burst inside, Speights had already rushed back to the basket with Barnes in pursuit.
Just at the last moment, Iguodala saw Yiyang raise his hand outside the three-point line to ask for the ball!
He didn't know how Yiyang came here, but he knew it was an opportunity!
Iguodala threw his arm and the basketball raced out of the box. When Yiyang received the basketball, even Mike. Brin's eyes widened.
"How is this possible!? It's clear that he was still entangled with Green near the halfway line just now! ”
As soon as Brin's voice fell, Yiyang made a three-point shot! Green jumped up from behind, but was still a step too slow.
Yiyang maintained a shooting posture after making a shot, and looked at the basketball confidently until the orange ball fell into the net!
"Three-point hit! This is an opportunity to fight for it! 7 points, and the Mavericks widened the margin to 7 points as soon as they came on the court. Look, the King of Doom is about to start his show! ”
Yiyang stared at Green, raised his right hand, and gestured three fingers. Green was completely enraged, he didn't want to play basketball now, he just wanted to have a good fight with Yiyang!
Yiyang looked at Green's uncomfortable expression, but his heart was extremely comfortable. Be angry, Green. Sprinkle all your anger!
With the ensuing offense, the Warriors finally showed how terrible they can be on the offensive end. Curry again borrowed a pick-and-roll to get into the restricted area, and Gobert had to make a layup. But Curry drew the ball out and then drew the ball out, and Spatz was unmarked in the mid-range position and made a jumper.
Basketball is hollow shots, and against a team like the Warriors, you have to squeeze space endlessly. Squeezable space, which means that the line of defense becomes thinner.
Green patted Speights on the chest in encouragement. Yiyang walked past the two of them and spoke coldly.
"It's just an open shot, my wife can score this kind of goal."
"What did you say!?" Green heard Yiyang's words and turned his head sharply.
"By the way, you almost dragged me down just now, keep trying." Yiyang smiled at Green, but his smile did not make Green feel comfortable at all.
"Fuck!" Green clenched his fists and rolled back to defense.
This time, Green was very rough on the defensive end. In order to prevent Dirk from getting into position, this guy almost waved his fist directly.
Hugging, elbowing, squeezing, pushing, Green does everything. It's just that everyone's eyes are on Yiyang now, and people can't see Green's dirty actions.
Yiyang called Dirk to cover, and Nowitzki immediately shook off Green and stepped forward to block the pick-and-roll.
Yiyang broke through through the block, and Green directly chased after him, running with all his might, he wanted to let that damn Chinese taste what it was like to be knocked to the ground!
Yiyang smiled when he saw Green chasing him out. He suddenly stopped suddenly, and his crotch changed and pulled backwards!
Running at full speed, Green forcibly changed his center of gravity, and as a result, he fell to the ground in embarrassment!
"Wow!" The audience was amazed, Green actually shook Green down!
Yiyang looked at Green with a smile on his face, and did not shoot immediately, but stretched out his finger and pointed at him. "Lao Tzu is going to shoot here, you are here to defend!"
After humiliating Green, Yiyang made a move. Curry's timely rush out of the interference didn't cause much trouble for Yiyang. Three points passed through the net, and Green scrambled to his feet amid the laughter of the crowd.
"Oh my God, he's just playing Drummond. Green! But I have to say, everyone loved his performance! "Mike. Brin really wanted to see the replay of that ball right away, and the moment when Green fell must have been very exciting!
Green has completely gone berserk, he has always humiliated others, when has he been humiliated by others?
In the offensive rounds that followed, Green became more and more frantic when he was in position. Yiyang Defense Curry is still very deadly and needs Green's support.
Green couldn't get rid of Dirk for a while, and actually threw an elbow directly on Dirk's face behind him.
Manic, he has already begun to be reckless, but this time, Green's actions did not escape the eyes of the referee!
"The referee blew the whistle, Drummond. Green offensive foul! We see ...... Oh my God, the referee gave him a second-degree malicious foul, Drummond. Green was ejected outright! ”
Mike. Brin shouted, if Green is ejected, the whole situation will change dramatically!
Green yelled at the referee, saying he was just swinging his arm normally on the run. But the high-definition replay video ruthlessly exposed Green's lies, and his elbow hit Dirk in front of the door, but luckily Dirk blocked it with his hand, otherwise he might have seen red by now.
"Fuck it!" Seeing that the situation was irreparable, Green walked off the court in the open.
Before leaving, Green looked back at Yiyang viciously, only to find that the Chinese defender was waving at him!
"I'll make you look good next time, mongrel!" Green gritted his teeth, from beginning to end, even including himself being sent off, it was Yiyang's arrangement!
Today, he was completely tricked by Yiyang as a donkey!
Seeing Green angrily walking towards the players' tunnel, Yiyang also breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, the game is much simpler.
