In the third quarter of the game, Westbrook's performance can only be described as a collapse. He scored 12 points in the first half, and by the end of the third quarter, his score had only increased by three points.

Moreover, Westbrook's shooting percentage was decent at halftime, and it had fallen below 35%. Ohcheng No. 0, who was bent on regaining face in the last game, was defeated by that Tanhuaxiu again.

Although judging from the field, Westbrook, who has a strong style of play, does not seem to fall far behind. But Van Gundy, who has detailed game data, knows that it may be very difficult for Westbrook to turn over today.

In stark contrast to Westbrook, it is natural that Yiyang, who performed well today and was quite calm on both offensive and defensive ends. After Nowitzki left the game with an injury, the first-year rookie behaved like a leader at best. This is also very much in line with Kuban's original choice of Yiyang. Yiyang is definitely not a successful leader right now, because he can't even guarantee that the Mavericks will win today. But you have to admit that this guy does have the temperament of some team leaders faintly.

At the end of the third quarter, Brooks replaced Westbrook and let James . Harden returned to the court, which allowed the Thunder to gradually recover some scores and salvage the situation.

Of course, Kidd, who came off the bench, naturally used his veteran organization to help the Mavericks hold on to the advantage and bring the advantage into the fourth quarter of the game.

When halftime ended, Oklahoma City fans were ecstatic, hoping that the team could overtake the score and defeat the league's No. 1 Mavericks. And now, just 12 minutes later, instead of overtaking the score, the Thunder are still 6 points behind the Mavericks.

A 6-point difference, and that's still the margin that the Mavericks had without Nowitzki. Brooks is unhappy with the situation, but he can't blame the young players by name.

So at the start of the fourth quarter, Van Gundy was surprised to find out. The Westbrook guy sat on the bench with a blank face, and James, who was doing well today, sat on the bench with a blank face. Harden has become the one who is defending Yiyang at the moment.

Seeing that his opponent was replaced by a bearded but very young guy, Yiyang felt a lot more relaxed in his heart. Although Westbrook is easily impatient, his defense is indeed more dangerous than Harden.

Harden is just as aggressive on the defensive end, but there's something wrong with this guy. When defending, I like to focus on the ball rather than the people. If Yiyang just holds the ball and plays with him alone, it may be very difficult. But if Yiyang plays without the ball, the effect may be completely different.

Thinking of this, Yiyang passed the ball again. Terry received the basket and broke through directly through the pick-and-roll, and then hit a mid-range jumper.

This is a simple goal, not to mention the players of the Thunder team, even Yiyang himself didn't expect it. It seems that his teammates' desire to score in the final quarter of the game is also very strong. If that's the case, it's going to be a very good game.

The Mavericks' fast and swift offense caught the Thunder off guard. But don't forget, Terry has always been the Mavericks' terrifying sixth man. He didn't start just because Carlisle wanted to keep him behind, not because he wasn't good enough. One thing that many people overlook is that Terry is still averaging 15 points per game this season.

Under the shouting of Coach Brooks, Harden slowly advanced with the ball. As soon as he stepped on the halfway line, the bearded guy passed the ball to Durant. It seems that his obsession with the ball is not as exaggerated as Westbrook's.

is also a tanhua show, but Harden's means on the offensive end are much richer than Yiyang. While Harden doesn't say he's proficient at everything, he knows a little bit about everything.

Therefore, Yiyang did not dare to slack off. When Harden is running, Yiyang must also take it step by step. You put him to shoot, and he can shoot more steadily than Yiyang and Westbrook. You let him break through, and his steady pace can really threaten the basket.

Just as Yiyang was still running behind Harden, the sound of the Nets tumbling sounded behind the Dallas No. 1 ear. Yiyang turned around and saw that Durant had already used his height and arm length advantage to shoot Marion in the head. In the last quarter of the game, the No. 35, who also didn't talk much, played more and more cleanly.

Yiyang knows that the most important thing for the Mavericks to do now is to stabilize the point difference. If the defense fails, get back the two points you've lost on the offensive end.

This time, Yiyang still didn't stick to the ball, but gave it to Terry again.

John Terry's excellent performance in attack today has already made Swiss Seflorosa dare not take lightly. Now all his mind was on how to deal with Terry, and as for the rest, the Swiss could not care so much.

This also means that the Thunder team is instantly missing a strong point in the defense. Although Yiyang did not control the ball, he still shuttled through the crowd. Harden followed closely, but it could also be observed that he was more often looking in the direction of the ball carrier. This guy, the attention is still on the ball!

Just as Harden looked at Terry and turned his head back again, he found that his eyes were black, as if he had hit a hard wall.

Tyson. Chandler's off-ball block stopped Harden completely, and Terry saw the situation and hurried out the ball.

To say that Seflorosa's reaction was really fast, when he saw Terry's pass, he immediately reached out and the Swiss even felt his fingertips rub against the surface of the basketball.

However, Sephorosa is not superman, and he can't react in an instant to steal the pass. Although it rubbed it, the basketball still flew steadily into Yiyang's hands. Yiyang received the ball at a step inside the three-point line in the bottom corner, and he had already shot, and Harden, who was blocked by Chandler, pounced on it like a dead sheep.

Like Durant, Yiyang's shot was also hollow hit. Unlike Durant, this is not Yiyang's victory alone, but the operation of the Mavericks' entire system has played a role.

Seeing that Yiyang easily hit Harden's head, Brooks pouted unwillingly. On Harden, the Thunder's offense is not chaotic, but the defense has one more hole. If you go to Westbrook, it will not be easy for Yiyang on the defensive end, but the offense doesn't know what it will be like.

The young marshal shook his head, a young team, it's never perfect.

After Yiyang's goal, the most positive person was not Harden, but Durant, who had scored 22 points today. He leaned on Marion in the mid-range position to ask for the ball, and after receiving a pass from Harden, Durant turned over and made a jumper.

Marion's face to Durant is almost like a mismatch in defense. Durant didn't get too much interference and calmly made a shot, and this turnaround jumper also went straight into the net.

"In the fourth quarter, will it turn into a scoring battle with Kevin?" Seeing that Durant took out the response ball again, Kevin . Harlan clenched his fists with excitement. What could be more enjoyable than two stars racing each other?

"With Yi's style of play, I'm afraid he's going to let you down, Kevin." Van Gundy doesn't think the game will turn into a one-on-one move between stars, and what Yiyang is really good about is his eyes that can see through the whole court and his brain that executes precisely!

Sure enough, this time, Yiyang did not "bully" the distracted Harden again, but suddenly passed the ball during the breakthrough, allowing the threat to be transferred to the bottom corner of the Thunder team.

Marion received the basketball, but Durant quickly blocked it. In front of those long arms that swung like nets, Marion had no chance at all.

So Marion played the ball quickly, and the basketball shifted again. Cardinal stared at the basket after receiving the basket, but with a slight flick of his wrist, the basketball returned to Yiyang's hand.

After going around in a circle, the basketball is still controlled by Yiyang. The Thunder fans cheered one by one, which meant that the Mavericks' tactics weren't executed and the point guard had to be reorganized.

However, this is not the case, and after this round of rotation, the Thunder's defense has actually been torn apart. Yiyang suddenly broke through with the ball on his back, and Harden, who was not prepared, once again became the background board for Yiyang's wonderful breakthrough.

Kostic immediately crossed the basket, but the white center, who was too soft, had no deterrent effect at all.

Yiyang jumped directly with the ball, and Harden and Kostic jumped up. In the air, Yiyang did not make a layup, but smashed the ball to the ground hard.

The basketball went through the gap between Kostic and Harden and bounced back into Chandler's hand. The unmarked "King of Boxing" took a big step and dunked directly, and the Thunder's defense was completely played by Yiyang between applause.

Although he didn't score directly, Yiyang returned Durant with a response ball in his own way.

Yiyang can make all his teammates his means of scoring, but Durant can't.

This time, Durant's shot finally came out of the box. But the more mobile Jeff. Green stuck Cardinal and grabbed an offensive rebound.

But Green didn't honestly grab the ball, but came to an aerial basket. Embarrassingly, under Cardinal's small action, Green did not make up for this rebound.

This time, Chandler won't give Green another chance. The Thunder team failed to continue the score, but Yiyang suddenly made a back pass in the process of rapid advancement.

The basketball went straight to the bottom right corner, where Terry had set up his "cannon" and was ready to fire.

The Maverick veteran, known to Chinese fans as "Jett Boss", didn't waste Yiyang's wonderful pass, and he shot coherently and put the ball firmly into the frame.

The Mavericks hit a three-point shot, which was the last thing Brooks wanted to see. If the Mavericks make a three-pointer, then the Thunder will have a hard time making a difference. After all, they have a passer who can deliver ammo at any time.

Seeing that the team is falling behind more and more, Durant also wants to chase a three-pointer. But the basketball bounced on the basket several times, but it still bounced out. Durant played very well in every aspect today, except for his unsatisfactory shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line. With this shot, Durant has made six shots from beyond the three-point line today, but only hit a measly two.

Yiyang was not polite this time, and after receiving the basketball, he hit the most lethal place of the Thunder team like a bullet.

Harden was in hot pursuit, and when Yiyang took three steps and was about to go to the basket, Harden reached out and prepared to cut the ball. Ke Yiyang easily held the basketball to avoid the bearded man's ill-intentioned left hand, and easily scored a layup.

"It's so efficient! As long as you let the ball go, the Mavericks always seem to score! Ten points, the score difference has been widened to ten points. Coach Brooks called a timeout, and even without Dirk, the Dallas Mavericks are still full of danger! ”

Van Gundy looked at Yiyang with admiration in his eyes, if only his Rockets could have such a point guard in the first place...... There are no ifs in this world, otherwise, it would be too beautiful.

Durant was completely blinded by a wave of consecutive goals from Yiyang and the Mavericks, and wants to see Yiyang's full strength? Today, it will open your eyes!

Nowitzki, who was lying on the hospital bed after the examination at the moment, stared at the TV and smiled, he and Cuban really didn't see the wrong person......
