Chapter One Hundred and Six: Come on, Chris
After Yiyang and Nowitzki returned to the court, the advantage that the Hornets had built up with great difficulty was slowly shrinking.
Willie. Green gasped, this guy had only been on the field for a short time, and he certainly wouldn't have physical problems so soon. Green gasped for breath because he felt a huge sense of oppression!
This sense of oppression made him almost breathless, and this sense of oppression did not come from others, but from that first-grade flower show!
After Yiyang managed to score again, the Hornets did not take a timeout, but continued to attack. Monty. Williams wasn't going to squander the timeout, as it wasn't going to be minutes since the game resumed.
In Chris. Under Paul's gaze, Willy, who is not good at playing the No. 1 position. Green took possession of the ball and came to the frontcourt, and the player, who was originally in the second position, had no idea what was going on with the playmaking. He just followed the tactics and wanted to get the ball into West's hands.
Yiyang saw through Green's eyes through his intentions. So in Willy. The moment Green started to pass the ball, Yiyang suddenly jumped, straightened his long arms, and intercepted the pass with a blocking action that was almost in volleyball!
"The prediction is really good!" Off the field Chris. Paul was a little surprised, he didn't expect a rookie to have such anticipation on the defensive end.
Yiyang started to accelerate immediately after cutting off the basketball, this Tanhua show is not only absolutely fast, but also has excellent acceleration ability.
Even though Willie. Green also has strong explosiveness, but it is also very difficult for him to follow Yiyang.
Yiyang always felt that Green was making contact with him, so he wouldn't rush to the basket. If Green's block or interference results in a wasted fast-break opportunity, it will be more than worth the loss. After all, Yiyang also knows that his layup under physical contact is not his strong point.
The No. 1 guard suddenly lifted the basketball as he approached the basket and seemed to be about to go to the basket. Willy, who has been waiting for an opportunity for a long time. Green jumped high to get revenge for the chance of the steal, he had been waiting for a long time!
Right here in Willy. When Green was moo and was ready to stage a wonderful chase, Yiyang's feet on tiptoe suddenly fell back to the ground, feint!
"Feints in the fast break, Willy. Green flew away from top of Yiyang's head. In the face of an empty basket, he easily put the ball in. Haha, I like this kid, I like guys who play with their brains. "Kenny. Smith looked at Green, who was flushed after being teased by Yiyang, and couldn't help but applaud.
Yiyang's current physical confrontation ability is indeed not good enough, but this does not mean that Yiyang can only sit still. There are always ways to remedy these shortcomings.
Yiyang was another mediocre, but definitely wonderful goal, turning the difference between the two sides into only 1 point.
"Boss." At this point, Paul was a little overwhelmed. He knows that Yiyang's strength is actually beyond many people's imagination. Now on the Hornets' guard line, maybe only he can limit that guy.
"Don't worry, you can rest again." Monty. Williams waved his hand and rejected Paul's offer to play on his own initiative. Paul had already played a quarter and a half straight, and it was impossible to take a two-minute break and let him go back immediately. If Paul is injured again because he is too tired, the Hornets will really lose more than they lose.
But without Paul, the Hornets' disadvantage on the guard line is really obvious. This time, Willie. Green didn't dare to keep the ball for long. He just drove the ball into the Mavericks' half and immediately gave it to Italian Belinelli.
As one of the few Italian players to play in the NBA, Belinelli's popularity in Italy is naturally not low. But Vignary, at this time, was cheering for the Chinese of the Mavericks in her heart. She didn't want Yiyang's momentum of finally moving back to an end.
Face Jose. Barria, Belinelli did not hesitate, and took the ball directly and burst out. Due to his physical limitations, Barria is not very good defensively. After Carlisle let him play the No. 2 position, every defense was like a misalignment.
Belinelli, who is well-versed in the offensive end, naturally didn't waste that opportunity, and he suddenly made a pull-up jump shot from mid-range. Jose. Barria's interference didn't seem threatening at all, and Belinelli felt like his vision wasn't obscured at all.
At this time, Belinelli, who was already aiming for the basket, suddenly saw a black eye! A big hand was over the Italian's face, and for Belinelli, who was extremely versatile in attack, covering his eyes would not stop him from shooting. But the sudden sudden attack disrupted his shooting rhythm.
In the end, Belinelli's shot was a little off the line and missed. Naturally, Baria didn't have the ability to suddenly stretch his arm, leaving Willy behind. Green and Yiyang, who interfered with Belinelli's face, is the real "culprit"!
Another successful defense, which meant the Mavericks got a chance to overtake the score. After Yiyang held the ball, he pretended to pass the half court quickly, and after scaring everyone on the Hornets to retreat immediately, Yiyang slowed down. He managed to clear the chaotic half of the court and walked forward unhurriedly, waiting for his teammates to settle down.
At this time, Willy. Green took advantage of Yiyang's lack of physical confrontation and increased physical contact with Yiyang. But Yiyang didn't panic, he deftly controlled the basketball, Willy. Green didn't have any chance to make a tackle at all.
In the process of entanglement between the two sides, Yiyang suddenly threw it and used an extremely casual movement to pass a precise pass.
The basketball fell into Barria's hands, and Barria did not hesitate to transfer the ball again. Everyone thought that the Mavericks would attack from the outside this time, but after Yiyang's organization, the basketball was beaten to Nowitzki, who was in an important position on the inside!
The Mavericks' most terrifying scoring point has officially started their revenge!
Face David. West, Nowitzki suddenly turned around and walked towards the bottom line. With West's arms held high, the German forced a layup and hit it. The U.S. Route Center Arena immediately became shaky, and the Mavericks completed the comeback in the most perfect way!
Nowitzki roared after the goal, and the grievances accumulated off the field were finally released at this moment.
At this time, regardless of Monty. No matter how calm Williams is, he has to call a timeout.
The rookie coach replaced Paul and Stojakovic, two hot guys, and the Hornets regained the initiative.
Peja's 3-of-4 shooting and Paul's 4-of-5 shooting allowed the storm led by Nowitzki and Yiyang to be suppressed again.
At the end of the second quarter, the score was 52-47, and the Hornets, playing away, took a five-point lead.
Yiyang knows that although he and Nowitzki played an offensive mini-climax in the second half of the second quarter, it doesn't mean that the Hornets will be vulnerable. To defeat the wasp, Yiyang must step over Paul's corpse.
Willie. Green is just a warm-up, in the second half of the game, Yiyang, who has already played in form, will fight to the death with Paul!
The showdown with a truly top-notch point guard is not destined to be easy. The Hornets are getting closer to their ninth straight win, but no one will know until the final minute if the swarm will be able to pull out of Dallas.
