Chapter 129: The Terminator Who Passed by

Yiyang's wonderful performance made the balance of victory seem to start to tilt, but soon, Nowitzki's super hot hand stole all the limelight from Yiyang.

Originally, the biggest attraction of this game was the duel between Duncan and Nowitzki. Nowitzki's back-to-back goals at the end of the second quarter undoubtedly ignited the hearts of all fans.

Dirk first hit a three-pointer after receiving Yiyang's ball from the outside, and then put in two consecutive shots on the inside with a turnaround jumper.

If you thought Nowitzki's sudden burst of power would give the Mavericks the lead, you'd be underestimating the San Antonio Spurs.

George who was replaced by Popovich. Hill, directly knocked Terry to the ground. In the first quarter, it was a demon knife, and in the second quarter, another Hill was killed. In fact, this is also exposing that the Mavericks' defense at the No. 2 position is indeed too weak. Even if Carlisle was replaced with Stevens at the last minute, it would have been to no avail.

At the end of the second quarter, the score became 51-49, and the Mavericks temporarily led by two points.

With 4 points and 3 assists, Yiyang's half-game statistics can be said to be inconspicuous. Many TV stations have claimed that the San Antonio Spurs are worthy of being a rookie killer. Even Yiyang, which has been soaring so far this season, has stopped in San Antonio.

But Carlisle is well aware that Yiyang just doesn't have much opportunity to perform. In the first quarter of the game, he was too nervous and cautious, and in the second quarter, Nowitzki took up too many shots. As long as Yiyang continues to maintain, there is no need to make too many adjustments. The problem now is that the Spurs are always popping up with unexpected points of attack.

At first, it was a "demon knife" with 16 points in a single quarter, and now it is George who beat Terry in the face. Hill. For Carlisle, who is relatively weak in on-the-spot adaptability, the Spurs' scattered attack points are really tricky.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Carlisle first used Yiyang to play against Hill on the defensive end. The effect of this was obvious, and Hill got a lot fewer chances. After holding the ball, it was also difficult for Hill to break through Yiyang, who was much taller than Terry.

On the other hand, the Duncan vs. Nowitzki showdown can still be described as in full swing. The battle between the two historic-level No. 4 positions completely turned everyone else into an ornament.

In the middle of the third quarter, Ginobili came on the court again and frequently stood on the free throw line with a breakthrough to create kills, and continued to cut points. On the Mavericks' side, Kidd, who replaced Yiyang, was also rare to see full firepower.

Kidd's performance on 2-of-3 shooting from beyond the three-point line made Parker once again scolded by Popovich for being indecent.

The offensive frenzy of the two sides is rising wave after wave, and the confrontation on the defensive end is getting tougher and tougher. If the first two quarters of the game were still testing each other, then in the second half, this game of the Texas Civil War can be said to be the most intense.

In the end, the game between the two sides was still tied at 22 in the third quarter, with a total score of 73-71, and the difference was still 2 points. Yiyang only took one shot in the third quarter, scoring 2 points and 2 assists.

Duncan and Nowitzki's offense and defense have become a topic of conversation for everyone, not to mention Yiyang, who has a mediocre performance, and even Ginobili, who scored 16 points in the first quarter of the game, is almost forgotten.

"What do you think is the key to winning in the fourth quarter!?" During the break, Kenny. Smith threw a question at Barkley, who was sitting next to him.

"Whoever can make it to the end will be the winner!" Although Barkley's answer was joking, it was not unreasonable. After the game was dominated by the two No. 4s in the third quarter, all that was in people's minds was the image of Dirk and Duncan fighting again and again.

But Popovich and Carlisle, two coaches who value the team very seriously, will not give the victory to any one player alone.

"Parker was in terrible shape today, both offensively and defensively! Strangle him! Limit his scoring and shooting on the defensive end, and use that more on the offensive end to share the pressure on Dirk! They thought you'd be done today, and told the bunch that it's too early to tell! Carlisle drew a red circle on his tactical board, and inside the red circle was Tony. Parker's name.

He wasn't saying this to Kidd, but making a final deployment for Yiyang. Carlisle is well aware that young Yiyang tends to be more effective in the fourth quarter than an exhausted Kidd.

When the game resumed, the noisy shouting inside the ATT center almost shattered Yiyang's eardrums.

The Mavericks attacked first, and this time Duncan used a defensive around Nowitzki to defend the front, and Yiyang wanted to hang the ball from the experienced Duncan's head to Dirk, which was not an easy task.

Yiyang slowed down and stared at Dirk as if he was about to pass the ball. At this time, Dallas No. 1 suddenly broke through with a rapid change of direction, which caught Parker off guard.

Parker tried his best to stick to Yiyang's side, but Yiyang's speed did make Parker feel very difficult. Yiyang directly stretched out his long arm for a layup under Parker's interference, but fortunately, Parker is not the kind of guard who is good at physical confrontation, otherwise Yiyang may really suffer. The basketball hollow into the net, the first ball of the opening game, Yiyang used a breakthrough to open the record.

Switching offense and defense, Parker looked very difficult under Yiyang's tight defense. Fortunately, Ginobili came out to pick up the ball in time, which allowed Parker to play safely.

The 16-point scorer didn't skimp on his chances, and the Argentine shot from beyond the three-point line without completely getting rid of the defense. This guy is perhaps the most "unreasonable" player in the entire Spurs team.

But Ginobili's fiery hand did not continue, and under Terry's interference, the three-pointer slipped out of the frame after a lap in the frame.

Chandler got the rebound and threw it so hard that even the speed of the camera couldn't keep up with the trajectory of the basketball. When the camera moved to the Spurs' halfcourt, Yiyang had already hit an easy layup.

It turned out that Yiyang had already started quickly and ran to the front. His sneak attack was so sudden that even experienced Parker did not expect it.

After scoring four points in a row, Yiyang also helped the Mavericks take a six-point lead. And this is also the biggest lead the Mavericks have ever taken in this game.

In the third round, Parker's playmaking was quite calm. Eventually, the Frenchman circled around the cover and returned to the mid-range position, where Duncan, who was holding the ball, responded with a pass that allowed Parker to get a shot from the ground.

Parker didn't hesitate, and although he didn't feel good today, it was even more of a pity to waste a chance.

But what the French didn't expect was that Yiyang could return to him so quickly. In order to avoid Yiyang's long arms, Parker had to increase the arc of his shot. However, this tune makes the thrown basketball directly hit the neck of the basket.

The positive Yiyang immediately turned around, jumped high, and grabbed the defensive rebound before the "boxing king".

After getting the basketball, Yiyang did not have a steady rhythm as before, but advanced quickly!

This Dallas No. 1 flexibly weaves through the crowd and passes several opponents to complete a one-stop layup, which is Yiyang's specialty in college!

But in the NBA, it won't be so easy for Yiyang to succeed. Parker, who is chasing after Yiyang, has never stopped making physical contact with Yiyang, and he knows that attacking under physical contact has always been Yiyang's weakness.

However, after Yiyang stepped into the three-second zone, he did not follow the momentum of his consecutive scores and went it alone, but suddenly passed back from his crotch. Terry, who followed up, did not go to the basket himself as people thought, but went diagonally behind him to shoot the ball again.

The "German chariot" stepped up in two big strides to grab the basketball and jump directly to dunk! Duncan didn't dare to foul because sending the German to the free throw line was no different from sending it directly to the Mavericks to score. Instead of letting the opponent play three points, it is better to give him these two points.

As a result, Dirk hung up the frame vigorously and completely took over the momentum of the game. After the dunk, the commentators praised Dirk, but Yiyang! This guy who disappeared in the first three quarters of the game has now helped the Mavericks lead by 8 points in one go!

Or Duncan, the rocky man who always stands up in the team's most critical moments. He threw a random throw in the three-second zone and put a band-aid on the Spurs' wound. It's a seemingly casual but lethal style of play, which is exactly what Duncan is in style right now.

But soon, Yiyang used his pass to tear the Band-Aid apart. It wasn't that he had another assist, but that his pass came to Chandler and forced the not tall Blair to foul Chandler.

Tyson. Chandler was once the epitome of a big man who couldn't shoot free throws, but last season at the Bobcats, Chandler's free-throw percentage improved dramatically. This season, Chandler has been even better at the free-throw line.

While it was a crucial moment to decide the outcome of the match, "The King of Fighters" wasn't relenting. He made two free throws and two hits to make the difference 8 points again, and this hook could choke the Spurs enough.

Dozens of seconds later, the rapid whistle sounded again. DeJuan. Blair fouled Chandler twice in a row, because Yiyang used a pass that didn't look at people, and hit the opportunity to the basket again!

Blair, who is not tall enough, has no choice but to foul, but unfortunately, Tyson. Chandler hit two free throws again, and the 8-point difference continued!

Then, Ginobili's serpentine break came back to the ground, allowing the Argentine to score his first point in the fourth quarter.

But Yiyang was unrelenting, and the breakthrough after he called for the block caught Parker off guard. Facing Yiyang, who had already sent three wonderful passes in a row, everyone thought that he would continue to pass.

But when Yiyang jumped directly to the basket, Blair finally reacted to block.

But Blair, who was half a beat slower, did not succeed in stopping Yiyang, who struggled to maintain his balance in the air, threw the basketball to the rebound, and then was knocked to the ground.

Yiyang felt a sharp pain in his back, but when he saw the basketball that was thrown by himself and wiped into the net, the No. 1 guard suddenly had the strength and jumped up from the ground!

"A chance to hit a three! Blair made a big mistake on the defensive end! "Counting Chandler's four free throws, that's already the sixth point Blair has conceded. Barkley sweated for the stocky center who was arguing with the referee, and when he got back to the locker room, Popovich might eat the guy alive.

The interference of the fans at the ATT center did not affect Yiyang at all, and this Tanhuaxiu shot a shot. The basketball bumped and bumped, but there was still a thrilling fall into the net. The Mavericks hit a three-pointer and the margin became 9 points!

After that, Popovich was replaced by George. Hill. As soon as Hill came on the court, he used the breakthrough to "ravage" Terry again. But even with Hill's layup, the Spurs still trailed by seven points. There is not much time left for the game.

This time, Yiyang did not attack on his own, but directly gave the ball to Nowitzki.

Everyone thought Nowitzki was going to continue to play with Duncan, after all, that area had been emptied.

However, Yiyang, who was slowly walking to the left outside the three-point line, suddenly accelerated with a reverse run and threw Parker away in one fell swoop. Dirk, who was holding the ball with his back, saw Yiyang cut in from the middle and then hit the ground directly, Yiyang received the basketball, took two big steps, and got up directly and dunked!

Blair's brave collision made Yiyang fly out of the baseline again, but before that, Yiyang's right hand had already dunked the ball into the basket!

Chandler immediately pushed Blair away and rushed to Yiyang, who grabbed the forearm of the "King of Fighters" and stood up, seemingly unaffected.

"This is really a steely defender!" Countless American counterparts have made exclamations, and it is estimated that there are few Asian defenders who can be as tough as Yiyang.

Subsequently, Parker's breakthrough layup knocked out of the frame under Yiyang's interference. At that moment, Popovich directly smashed the tactical board in his hand. All tactics are in vain under the sudden outburst of a player!

Yiyang drove straight in, but was stopped and hugged by Parker in advance. But unfortunately, Yiyang still hit two free throws. At this time, ESPN gave Yiyang's game data for today at the bottom of the screen. 17 points and 7 assists, people were a little surprised, when did this guard, who seemed to disappear before, score 17 points?

Looking back, there is a cold "11" written under the fourth quarter scoring column. Yiyang's performance of 11 points in a single quarter made the San Antonio Spurs almost collapse!

Popovich sat back on the bench after getting angry, that damn Dallas No. 1, how could God let him pass by the Spurs? If the Spurs had gotten him in the first place......

The gray-haired old man couldn't help but sigh.
