Chapter 138: Salt Lake City's Thoughts

Kyle. Lowry struggled to control the basketball in his hand under the Chinese's defense, although it was not Yao Ming, but the oppressive force brought by Yiyang to Lowry was no less than Yao Ming.

Just when Lowry was at a loss, Scola "Diamond" Scola ran out of the open space and raised his arm to ask Lowry for the ball.

Lowry didn't hesitate, hit the ground and passed, and the basketball flew over Yiyang's palm and flew into Scola's hand.

Scola took a jump shot from mid-range but Nowitzki didn't give the Argentine any chance. He leaped high, stretched out his long arms, and gave Scola a big hat in a daze.

Yiyang hurriedly grabbed the basketball and advanced quickly, and the Mavericks got a chance to fight back.

In the process of advancing, Yiyang kept observing the running position of his teammates. Everyone on the Rocket team followed their opponents closely, for fear that Yiyang's elusive pass would fly.

But Yiyang's look of looking left and right is just an illusion, this guy planned to attack the frame directly from the beginning!

Yiyang, who stepped into the three-second zone, suddenly jumped, and Lowry, who was not prepared, hurriedly blocked. As a result, Lowry was whistled for a defensive foul, and the basketball thrown by Yiyang fell into the net.

"If they hit the free throws, then the Mavericks will stretch the margin to double digits! I don't know how Yao is feeling now, should he be happy that his country has a good player, or should he be sorry for the almost irreversible situation of the Rockets? "In Kenny. Under Smith's gaze, Yiyang hit a successful shot from the free throw line and hit a three-point shot. And the difference between the two teams has also become 10 points.

With five minutes left in the game, it stands to reason that 10 points is not an irreversible difference. But from the start of the game until now, the Rockets have never taken the lead. From the first second of the game, the Houston people were overwhelmed by the "cowboys" who had won five consecutive victories, and they have not been able to turn over until now.

Although the point difference has not been large, the Mavericks are under the control of Kidd and Yiyang, and completely and firmly control the rhythm and direction of the game. The Rockets struggled, but they were never able to bridge the seemingly small gap.

When Yao Ming, the spiritual leader, could only watch the game from the bench in a suit, the Rockets, who were fighting back-to-back, seemed to be ready to give up the game.

In the last five minutes, the exhausted Rockets resisted for a while before completely crumbling. While the Rockets' second-year rookie Badinger put on an extremely beautiful windmill dunk for the crowd in the final moments of the game, all the great performances in garbage time were not worth mentioning.

The current Rockets did not have 35 seconds and 13 minutes Maddy, and the iron-blooded Yao Ming, who decided to return to the court after not being injured. Yes, it's just the desperation of the star's delay in returning and the miserable record of 5 wins and 12 losses. No, after this game, their record will be 5-13.

In the end, the Rockets lost 91-105 in Dallas. And this result is actually something that most fans could have predicted a long time ago.

Yiyang continued to maintain his continued hot momentum in this game, with 14 points and 6 assists. If Carlisle hadn't partnered Yiyang and Kidd to play dual point guards again, maybe Yiyang's assists would not have been "only" 6. After all, when the two point guards are on the floor at the same time, Yiyang is more responsible for scoring, and Kidd is the one who initiates the offense.

By the way, Yiyang also made his counterpoint Kyle today. Lowry made just 4 of 15 shots, limiting his shooting percentage to less than 30 percent. In addition to his excellent performance on the offensive end, Yiyang's good defense is also becoming a topic of conversation among more and more people.

In the last game, Wade was defended by shooting 1 of 5 in a single quarter, but it was not Yiyang's luck or a flash in the pan. This guy's role on the defensive end is not something that can be reflected in the statistics of just a few steals.

"Don't forget my proposal yesterday." Before the Rockets left, Yao Ming also found Yiyang again in the court, reminding him to remember the national team.

Yiyang nodded lightly, indicating that he would give Yao Ming an answer. But how long to think about it, maybe even Yiyang himself doesn't know.

After the victory over the Rockets, the Mavericks also made it their longest six-game winning streak of the season. But a mere Houston Rockets will certainly not satisfy the Mavericks' appetite right now.

In December, the NBA's first East and West Rookie Player of the Month award was officially announced.

On the eastern side, John. Wall was elected. Of course, this champion also has to be happy, and he is glad that Yiyang is playing in the west. Because Griffin, another champion, was not so lucky, the award of the best rookie player of the month in the West fell to Yiyang without any suspense. Griffin, a beast with a lot of physical fitness, was only nominated.

Although Yiyang didn't have too many explosive performances, he won a particularly stable performance in every game. Under normal circumstances, the performance of rookie players will fluctuate, but Yiyang shows a calmness that is different from his age.

On Dec. 1, the Mavericks host the Minnesota Timberwolves. Before today's game began, the NBA official also presented Yiyang with the Western Rookie of the Month Award. This is Yiyang's first personal honor since joining the NBA for more than a month.

After the award ceremony, Yiyang and the Mavericks did not let the hot atmosphere chill down. Because soon, they used a hearty victory to set off this night of honor that belonged to Yiyang.

Timberwolves' popular forward Kevin Murmur. Love grabbed 15 rebounds today, but with Nowitzki's defense, he only scored 12 points, and half of those points came from the free-throw line.

Lefou's performance of 3 of 10 shots naturally could not allow him to lead the team to victory. Yiyang's 16 points, 9 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks well explain why he was able to beat Griffin to win the best rookie in the West.

86 to 100, a huge difference is enough for everyone to guess the scene of the game. Now the Timberwolves can only pray that their Spanish golden boy can return next season to be as good as Yiyang.

Seven wins in a row, and on the first day of December, the Mavericks got themselves off to a good start with a big win.

Yiyang was particularly excited, and was able to maintain his condition before an important match that he had been looking forward to for a long time, and this Tanhua show was naturally very happy.

After the game, countless media outlets poured in on the best rookie in the West. Even Nowitzki could only watch Yiyang giggle on the side.

The reporters' questions are the same, and Yiyang also answers them in the same way. But the question of one of them made Yiyang stop walking towards the player's tunnel.

"The Mavericks are going to be in Salt Lake City the day after tomorrow, and you're about to meet your old teammates. How did you feel when you met him for the first time in the NBA? This reporter Yiyang was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be a local reporter in Indianapolis. Because when he played in the Bulldogs, he didn't come to press conferences a lot.

"I miss him, but as an opponent in the ring, I don't miss him at all." Yiyang unexpectedly made a joke with the reporters, after all, this cold guy is finally going to meet someone who can warm his heart.

On Dec. 3, the Dallas Mavericks will take on the Utah Jazz, who have been performing well this season, in Salt Lake City.

Gordon. Hayward and Yiyang, the two young men who shocked the American college basketball world last year, made a lot of talented black players bow down, and led Butler University to the "Cinderella" myth to win the NCAA Championship, will finally meet for the first time in their professional arena! Only this time, they will appear on the basketball court as opponents of each other.

I don't know what kind of shocking performance these two guys will bring to fans on the NBA court.

The fierce "civil war" between the pit bulldogs will finally begin!
