It has been said that Carter will most likely be the only person in NBA history who can win both the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest at the same time, if he participates in the three-point contest that year.

But now, fans don't have to say "what if". Because a player who can win both the slam dunk contest and the three-point king has stood alive in front of everyone.

Although Westbrook is the MVP of this All-Star Game, his popularity is far less than that of Yiyang, the three-point king.

The number of broadcasts on the Internet has broken the previous record. Russell's ten-second heads-up video has also become popular all over the United States.

Mark even joked with Yiyang in the locker room: You guy, have you started to teach rookies in advance across the border?

However, the cheerful atmosphere of the all-stars, Yiyang excluded it on February 19.

After the All-Star Game, Yiyang and the Mavericks' first opponent was none other than the All-Star Game MVP winner, Russell. Westbrook and his Oklahoma City Thunder!

As soon as the All-Star is over, the league directly pushes the regular season to a climax.

All-Star MVP vs. three-point king, such a gimmick is enough to make fans excited.

Westbrook naturally wanted to get back face, after all, he was beaten so badly by Yiyang last time.

And today, he did cause a lot of trouble for the Mavericks.

As soon as the game started, Westbrook assisted Serge Ibaka to score easily under the basket. Although it was just an ordinary assist, it shook Carlisle's heart.

Westbrook, this guy has also started to pass the ball?

Westbrook isn't stupid, he knows why he lost to the Mavericks last time. So this time, Westbrook learned to behave. He linked himself and Ibaka together and dealt a huge blow to the Mavericks' defense!

And on the defensive end, the Thunder are also doing more than a star and a half better than last time. Serge Ibaka and veteran Nick. Collisson's tough confrontation made the Mavericks players who had just returned from vacation very uncomfortable.

Nowitzki hit the iron frequently under Ibaka's block, and Wade actually missed repeatedly in the box today. Even Iguodala, who has always been steady, had a miserable hit percentage today.

At halftime, none of the Mavericks' starting five players could shoot more than 40% from the field, except for Yiyang.

Losses on the defensive end and inefficiency on the offensive end allowed the Thunder to take a 15-point lead at halftime.

"After Westbrook won the All-Star Game MVP, he seems to have become more responsible. He is no longer obsessed with stats today, but is trying to lead the team to victory. In the half-game, Westbrook had already provided five assists, five real assists. The defending champions will have to come to their senses, otherwise they will be very far from their record of 72 wins! ”

"Don't take it lightly, give your best in the second half! Until the last second, no one can let my guard down! At halftime, even though he had a huge advantage of 15, Thunder coach Brooks did not relax at all.

He is well aware that the Mavericks are not a team that can be killed so easily. If the players take it lightly, then the Mavericks will definitely be able to stage a comeback!

After Brooks' reminder, in the second half of the game, the performance of the Thunder players was still solid. Westbrook still played very reasonably and didn't come to the ground.

It seems that he is really eager to win!

But the defending champions weren't going to sit still, and in the second half, everyone adjusted.

First, Nowitzki hit a three-point shot from Yiyang, and then Yiyang and Gobert cooperated with the air to dunk the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Ten seconds later, Yiyang chased a three-point shot in Westbrook's face, showing the style of a three-point king.

In a short time, the Mavericks narrowed the margin to single digits. But do you think the Mavericks did this offensively? On the contrary, they relied on defense!

Westbrook's play is reasonable, but it doesn't give the Thunder every chance they attack.

Gobert and Dirk switched defenses, making it difficult for Ibaka to move an inch. Yiyang also strengthened the physical contact between Westbrook and prevented him from taking the ball easily.

"If you defend better, you can attack better!" Carlisle's words to the players at half-time lingered in everyone's ears.

This offense, the Thunder were defended for another 24 seconds. In the end, Westbrook wanted to get fouled in the final minute by attacking the basket.

But Yiyang didn't let him succeed, Yiyang saw the opportunity to wrap his hand around Westbrook's side, and cut the ball away!

After cutting away the basketball, Yiyang quickly advanced and completed the offense with a tomahawk slam. At this time, the difference between the Mavericks and the Thunder is only 6 points!

In other words, the two sides are basically back on the same starting line!

After coming to their senses, the Mavericks did not "disappoint" Coach Brooks, and they really caused the Thunder huge problems.

Yiyang led his teammates to chase and fight, and on the Thunder side, Westbrook was not willing to give up.

So, the two sides fought until the last 28.5 seconds, and the score was tied!

This attack, Yiyang continued his true colors of a big heart. He didn't start until he had just five seconds left on his 24-second offensive time, forcing Westbrook to pull back, then pull back with a hip down and a mid-range step-back jumper to score the ball the moment the rebounding lights came on!

"Also, he shows his true colors as a killer! The more critical it is, the more threatening it becomes! Quasi-lore, this is a quasi-lore! ”

Westbrook gritted his teeth, did he want to lose to Yiyang for the second time?

No, Westbrook was not reconciled. I'm the All-Star Game MVP, how can I be brought down so easily!

With 4.5 seconds to go, Brooks used up the last timeout on his hand. There is no doubt that Westbrook, who performed well today, will be the one to execute this crucial shot.

In the final moments, Serge Ibaka and Collison set up a double pick-and-roll for Westbrook.

Tony. Allen hurriedly changed his defense, and he believed that Westbrook would definitely not pass the ball in the last attack!

But today, Westbrook, who is in excellent form, is leaning on Tony. Allen, get into the box and score the ball!

The score equalized and Westbrook dragged the game into extra time!

"Damn it!" The moment Westbrook scored, Carlisle couldn't help but curse.

Nobody wants to play overtime, and at this point in the middle and late stages of the regular season, every drop of fitness is invaluable.

Moreover, this damn schedule after the All-Star break also made the Mavericks not allow overtime......

"I can't go on with them anymore, I want you to continue to defend solidly in overtime! Don't let them score easily and get stuck in every possible space! Carlisle picked up the tactics board, which was already densely drawn.

Yiyang clenched his fists and went on, but the situation did not go as smoothly as expected.

The Mavericks' defense was already very tight, but the Thunder were always able to find gaps.

Westbrook in Yiyang and Tony. Allen got rid of the two of them under the block, and made a layup.

Ibaka still hit the basket even though Gobert had already blocked his face.

Even Nick. Collison was very magically able to complete a rebound in the middle of the restricted area.

But again, the Thunder can't do anything about the Mavericks!

Yiyang led his teammates to fight back, and as the Thunder players depleted their physical energy, their speed of replenishment and switching defenses became slower and slower. As a result, the Mavericks get more and more gaps.

In the final 7.2 seconds of the game, Westbrook's mid-range jumper knocked out of the frame under Yiyang's interference. At that moment, all the Thunder fans hugged their heads. All of them thought that this game, which lasted so long, would eventually be lost!

Unexpectedly, the desperate Ibaka was stunned to get the rebound off Gobert's head. After landing, Ibaka rolled over and made a jumper! The basketball went over Gobert's fingertips and into the net!

"Amazing Congolese man, he saved the Oklahoma City Thunder! It's over, this bitter battle is finally over. Westbrook succeeds in revenge, and he is ashamed! ”

Is it really over? Yiyang didn't promise to accept such an ending.

With 3.2 seconds left in the game, the Mavericks didn't have a timeout. It stands to reason that this game should indeed be over.

But the Mavericks and Yiyang have never been with you.

When the baseline ball is served, Nowitzki makes a long pass directly to the frontcourt! Westbrook stuck to Yiyang and used his strong body to put pressure on Yiyang and prevent him from receiving the ball.

Yiyang is indeed very difficult, and the confrontation ability of that guy in Westbrook is too strong.

But he still tried his best to stabilize his center of gravity, stretched out his long arm, and unloaded Nowitzki's long pass in a daze!

"He actually received the basketball, what will he do!?" On the commentary seat, Reggie, who was in charge of commentating the game. Miller had lost his mind and yelled wildly.

The moment Yiyang receives the ball, it also means that 3.2 seconds start to pass. He had no way to get rid of Westbrook but force his shots against Westbrook's defense!

The moment Yiyang jumped, he was pushed by Westbrook and lost his center of gravity. In the case that the body is completely out of control, Yiyang shoots quickly!

Everyone's attention is on that basketball, Westbrook has already defended against this, Yiyang can't go in again!

At this time, Barkley's words were fulfilled - in Yiyang's world, there is no such word impossible!

The basketball hits the front of the basket, but instead of popping up, it bounces high.

At this time, the red light on the rebound was already on. The outcome of this game depends entirely on whether the basketball will go into the net after it falls.

Then in the next second, the nets roll, the basketball goes into the frame, and the two points are valid!

"Entered, entered, entered! The ball actually went in! Also, he dragged the game into the second overtime! ”

There was silence in the Chesapeake Energy Arena, seeing victory in sight, but was kicked away by Yiyang. The morale of the Thunder fans and players is plummeting, what the hell will it take to defeat the damn Dallas Mavericks!

In the second overtime, it completely became a duel between Yiyang and Westbrook, two star guards.

Because at this point, the others have no extra strength to deal with the game. Dirk, Wade, Iguodala, Gobert and Ibaka on the Thunder's side, all of them were out of breath.

Only Yiyang and Westbrook, their faces are not red and their hearts are not beating. Aren't they tired? Tired. But the strong desire to win in their hearts suppressed their tiredness.

In the second overtime, Yiyang and Westbrook played back and forth, and both sides scored 40 points, which was undoubtedly a point guard battle that could go down in history.

But until now, the overtime game has been compared not just for skills, but for perseverance!

Will you be able to make it to the end with little to no support from your teammates?

In the last 34 seconds of the game, Yiyang used a beautiful forward change of direction to pass Westbrook, who was obviously not very rhythmic.

At the moment when Westbrook turned to chase back, Yiyang retreated outside the three-point line. The sudden step-back three-point jumper is Yiyang's killer feature!

Westbrook reached out in desperation, only to hear the Nets tumbling. Yiyang hit a three-point shot and killed the game "again"!

"It's such a great match, and it's a lethal move with Westbrook! Now that the Mavericks have a three-point lead, how will Westbrook respond in the final moments!? Although because of double overtime, Miller's leave time had to be postponed.

But he didn't get bored at all, this kind of wonderful game is not something that can be seen at any time!

In the last 20 seconds of the game, when Westbrook saw Yiyang's death-defying eyes, he was a little unable to hold on.

That damn number one, his physical strength seems to be inexhaustible. He can play with you at any time!

As soon as he passed the half, Westbrook felt Yiyang's "enthusiasm". This time, Chang Yiyang put pressure on Westbrook!

Under Yiyang's strong confrontation, Westbrook, whose physical strength was close to overdraft, could not move an inch.

Although Ibaka and Collison blocked the pick-and-roll, after the speed had dropped, Yiyang was able to reattach himself to Westbrook very easily.

After fighting for dozens of seconds, Westbrook couldn't even get into the three-point line! Yiyang's defense made the hearts of the Thunder fans on the scene half cold.

In the end, Westbrook grabbed a three-pointer. However, in the case of Yiyang's interference and physical overdraft, this three-point shot directly shot a three-pointer!

"It's over! Yiyang persevered to the end, and he and his Dallas Mavericks won the game at the end! "Reggie. Miller jumped up from the bench, surrounded by frustrated Thunder fans hugging their heads.

It was a great victory, and Yiyang got the most beautiful result in the toughest of situations. But after the game, Yiyang had a sad face and did not have the slightest smile.

Reporters had already rushed up, and a TNT reporter was the first to get access to Yiyang.

"Also, today the Mavericks battled hard for double overtime and won big. There's no doubt that it's a very powerful performance, but after today's double overtime, how are you going to deal with the Houston Rockets!? ”

This is the reason why Yiyang and Carlisle are still sad after winning the game. Tomorrow, the Mavericks will return to Dallas back-to-back to face the Rockets. But today's game has brought more consumption to the Mavericks than normal.

Tomorrow, how will you fight the rockets?

It's a big win, but it's a big annoying one.
