Chapter 647: Assault
Dwayne. Wade, one of the greatest guards in NBA history, a future Hall of Famer, and a three-time NBA champion. Even though he is now 32 years old and his knee is full of holes. But during the regular season this season, he was still able to score 19 points per game on 54.5 percent shooting. In other words, he's still one of the most dangerous players in the league!
However, so far in the third quarter, the Heat team soul still hasn't scored a point. He was panting and sweating. No matter how hard he tried, no matter what method he used, he just couldn't get rid of that number one defense.
Well, the No. 1 who has only been in the league for four years and has already posed a threat to the league's first-tier stars!
"Also, chase the big risk! Poor Dwayne, this was the best scoring opportunity he'd ever had in this quarter. However, it also ruthlessly killed all this! ”
Wade looked like nothing had happened on the surface, just a block. After so many years of hard work in the league, he will not show all his emotions on his face for a long time. But in his heart, Wade couldn't help but feel a little lost.
When he first entered the league, Yiyang had a nickname called "Dwyan. The reason why fans call him so is because when he first entered the league, Yiyang's chasing after him was very similar to Wade.
As time passed, the nickname gradually faded out of people's sight. This is not because Yiyang's chasing adventure is no longer vigorous, but because Wade himself has rarely staged that incredible chasing performance. The name Dwayne is already hard to associate with chasing the big man.
Looking at the lively No. 1, Wade's mind was full of his youthful figure.
In the Finals four years ago, James' performance was extremely bad, and Wade was the one who struggled to support the team. But now, four years later, Wade is no longer able to do it. He could only watch James being slowly consumed and unable to do anything about it, just like LeBron did when he looked at him.
His own abilities are slowly declining, and what about that number one? Now he doesn't need anything," Dwayne. also" such a nickname. Because Yiyang is Yiyang, his name itself is synonymous with superstardom!
"Dwayne, serve!" A loud roar from James brought Wade's mind back to the court. He pulled Yiyang to the right side of the court, and James received a pass from Bosh on the left side of the court. Then, there was another round of hand-to-hand combat.
This time, James' layup was in Tony. Aaron's entanglement stumbled out of the frame. James was exhausted, but Tony was rested for most of the quarter. Aaron was eager to give it a try.
"Kenny, I remember you said the Heat were going to pull the score apart in the second half, right?" Seeing this, Barkley looked at his partner with a wicked smile.
"Damn Charles, if you don't mention it, the fans may have forgotten!" Kenny. Smith gave Barkley a blank look, does this guy want to see his partner mess up like that?
In the third quarter of the game, James originally wanted to pull away the score. But in the end, it allowed the Mavericks to build a 10-point lead. 78-68, the Mavericks relied on Yiyang's seamless defense against Wade to contain the play of the Big Three. And once the Heat is without the Big Three, there will be nothing left.
The temperature in the arena continued to soar, and the players were almost gulping down water during the break. Exhausted, James felt a slight swelling in his calf, but he didn't tell Spoelstra the news.
He didn't want to play, he knew that once he was gone, the crucial first battle would be over!
"It's been great, I'm very happy with your defense! See those guys? They're already out of breath! They have reached a tipping point! After the start of the fourth quarter, give me a fierce offense and squeeze the last bit of strength out of them! And then? Then victory will be in the palm of our hands! Carlisle had no intention of showing mercy, in fact his tactical arrangement was somewhat "vicious".
Squeezing out the last bit of strength of the other party, this seemingly polite coach not only kills, but also punishes the heart.
The fourth quarter began, and it was finally the Mavericks' turn to attack first. At this point, Wade couldn't hold on anymore and was replaced by Spoelstra. So, after experiencing Chalmers and Wade, Yiyang's defender became the Norris in front of him again. Cole.
Colby Yiyang entered the league a year later and has been playing for the Heat to this day. Although he can't take on too much of a role in the team, he has always worked hard.
If Yiyang wants to evaluate Kerr's performance today, then he thinks Kerr's defense today is better than Chalmers and Wade combined!
Kerr is very strong in his own right and works very the defensive end. When he was young, he didn't have injuries to hold him back. Cole's close defense even forced Yiyang to protect the basketball cautiously.
However, Kerr's defense, no matter how good, is nowhere near the league's top level. Yiyang borrowed Nowitzki's cover, but at the moment of passing through the block, he quickly changed to the side without cover. With such a move, Yiyang shook off Cole.
Attacking the interior to create damage and drain the opponent's stamina was Carlisle's policy in the third quarter. Yiyang faithfully carried it out, and jumped directly to the basket after stepping into the three-second zone.
At this time, Bosh was playing the number five position on the court. The fourth position is played by James.
James rushed in from the diagonal spur, intending to block Yiyang's layup. The two collided violently in the air, and Yiyang naturally couldn't resist James's terrifying impact, so he lost his center of gravity directly in the air and leaned back.
But in such a situation, Yiyang's action was still not messy. In the next second, Yiyang fell heavily on his back. And the basketball, after bouncing on the basket a few times, also crashed into the net!
"Hit three points! Hit the ball even when the center of gravity is completely lost! Incredible goal, the Mavericks are menacing as soon as they come up! ”
James shouted at the referee that it was his fourth foul of the game. Of course, James couldn't change anything. Yiyang stood at the free throw line and threw the ball in the eyes of the fans. With a 13-point difference, James frowned.
Is Yiyang going to turn on the scoring mode? If yes, then it's a big problem!
James then attacked, and at this time he defended him again from Tony. Aaron was replaced by Iguodala, who had been well rested. The "little emperor" seems to have reached a dead end, he has just consumed one person, and another energetic guy will immediately jump out again.
His calves still ached, but the hunger for victory drove him into the crowd once again.
But it is obvious that LeBron is already a little weak at this time. In the face of Iguodala's defense and Gobert's block, James' basketball eventually deviated from the basket. His dominance of the game is fading!
As soon as Gobert grabbed the rebound, he immediately threw the ball to Yiyang with a long pass. Norris. Kerr's defensive awareness was excellent, and he followed up in time, sticking to Yiyang's side the moment he received the basketball.
At this time, everyone in the Mavericks and the Heat was in the backcourt, and only Yiyang and Kerr were outside the three-point line in the frontcourt.
Yiyang ran wildly with the ball, but the strong Cole kept interfering beside him. So, after Yiyang stepped into the three-point line, he suddenly stopped and retreated at high speed! Step-back jumper, Yiyang's favorite rhythm!
Cole didn't dare to slack off, and immediately braked to change the center of gravity. Luckily, this guy wasn't shaken to the ground like Parker did.
But just when Cole's center of gravity rushed towards Yiyang, Yiyang accelerated again. And as soon as it accelerates, it is directly the top speed.
With a "whoosh", he sped past Cole! But by this time, the Heat's defense has returned. James rushed straight in front of Yiyang and completed the block. Yiyang, who accelerated again, did not act recklessly when he met James, but quickly turned around with James as the axis. After turning to the basket again, raise your hand to the basket by inertia.
James' palm swung into the air, and the basketball went straight into the net, and even the step of wiping the board was waived.
Basketball scored again, Yiyang scored five points in a row, and all five points were scored in the three-second zone. Carlisle's plan, it seems, is very clear. Fight the inside line to the death, and ask Yiyang to make more shots by himself.
These guys, are you going to attack!?
But what about knowing the plan? Just 20 seconds later, Yiyang scored again.
James couldn't keep up with Yiyang's scoring, and his layup was ridiculously crooked under Gobert's interference. James wanted to make a foul, but the referee didn't stop the game. It's a good defense, he signaled!
James was furious, and the temperature around him seemed to be even higher. My calves seem to be heavier.
This time, Yiyang gave the ball to Iguodala and let Iguodala control the ball at the top of the three-point arc.
He was originally longing to run on the left, but suddenly he ran backwards and ran towards the bottom corner of the right side.
Cole was a little caught off guard by this counter-run, and he was thrown out of two positions! was just stunned for a moment, and Yiyang threw him away.
Iguodala is definitely a role model for a team player, and as soon as Yiyang was in position in the bottom corner, his pass was delivered immediately. Yiyang saw Cole rushing towards him, and he didn't hurry, but shot the basket!
Cole wasn't fooled, he knew that Yiyang must be a fake vote! Sure enough, as he expected, Yiyang didn't really shoot, but broke through to the right side with the ball!
Cole reacted quickly and immediately blocked. If he can contain Yiyang today, he will be famous!
At the moment when Yiyang and Cole were about to collide together, Yiyang suddenly flashed and disappeared from Cole's eyes!
"This ......" Cole's eyes widened, he obviously didn't see Yiyang's change of direction!
Of course, Cole can't see it, because Yiyang's change of direction is done behind the scenes!
The body changed direction in front of him, and then quickly changed hands behind him, and Cole was broken by Yiyang's two consecutive and rapid shakes. Along the bottom line, Yiyang accelerated to the basket and jumped lightly.
Bosh and James pounced in pairs, and in the face of the palms of the two, Yiyang successfully dodged with a folding lever, and then scored on the rebound!
Yiyang scored 7 points in a row and was unstoppable. James couldn't keep up with Yiyang's pace, and the Heat were also 17 points behind!
"Damn, you can't just lose like that!" James cried out inwardly that he had already lost to the Mavericks four years ago. This year, he doesn't want to repeat the same path!
So, the No. 6 went crazy and stormed the Mavericks' halfcourt, didn't cooperate with anyone, and relied on his tank-like body to run straight inside and hit layups between Gobert and Iguodala.
"Ahh James let out a scream in the air, and the basketball was thrown directly into the air in an irregular manner, and then fell to the ground with James.
James sat up on the floor and clasped his legs with his hands! The slight feeling of soreness is now suddenly magnified, making a tough guy like James feel painful!
The Heat's team doctor quickly rushed onto the court, and it turned out that James was cramping from an overdraft.
The high temperature of more than 30 degrees and the fierce rhythm of the game drained James's last trace of strength, Yiyang continued to wreak havoc, but the No. 6 strong man failed to hold on!
"Damn, I even doubt that Kuban deliberately turned off the air conditioner!" Seeing James being carried off the field by his teammates, Kenny. Smith cursed. It's damn high temperatures, and it only accelerates the consumption of players. After the players are consumed, the game can also become a lot more boring.
"Do I have to warn you, Kenny. He also played in such heat, but he held steady and didn't fall. So, air conditioning is not an excuse at all. In other words...... "Barkley looked at the expression on the court and waited for the game to return to normal, you guy, you are really cold-blooded in front of your opponent!"
In other words, after continuing Dwayne, he also suppressed LeBron in the fourth quarter! And LeBron is suppressed, which means that this game is over. ”
Barkley's eyes were fixed on Yiyang, and he was even more terrifying in this series than before.
