After the game, the reporters were all agitated. The defending champion Lakers lost to the Dallas Mavericks, who no one was optimistic about before. Nowitzki, who has always been known as a "soft egg", scored 23 points in this game, leaving Gasol and Odom at a loss.

Of course, Yiyang, who was questioned after being selected by the Mavericks, surprised fans around the world with his performance of 30 points and 8 assists. Yiyang used this battle to tell everyone - Asian guards can not only survive in the NBA, but also thrive here!

Bryant only scored 17 points today, and he didn't shoot very well. This legend, who has just won two consecutive championships, is now being overwhelmed by a rookie. Although Kobe Bryant's injury is the biggest reason for this situation, such a result is still beyond most people's expectations.

Kyle. Thompson looked at Yiyang, who was surrounded by reporters, and he wanted to back down, but if he didn't keep his word, his reputation in front of fans would be greatly affected in the future.

"What a fucking damn one!" Thompson gritted his teeth, jerked to his feet, and walked toward the court. The sharp-eyed reporters immediately spotted him, and then there was a good show......

Yiyang stood in front of several cameras, still answering reporters' questions perfunctorily. The current Yiyang will never talk too much to reporters, and he has not forgotten how reporters framed themselves for looking down on Kobe. Therefore, it is almost impossible to ask something hot from this taciturn Chinese.

At this time, Yiyang found that the eyes of the reporters passed through him and fell behind him. Yiyang turned around curiously, thinking it was Terry grimacing behind his back.

However, the guy who came towards Yiyang was both familiar and unfamiliar.

A slightly emaciated black man with a bald head and somewhat sunken cheeks was walking towards him with a sad face.

"You've done a great job, Yi!" After the man walked up, he couldn't help but say something, and shook hands with Yiyang directly. As promised, he publicly praised Yiyang in front of reporters.

Hearing the voice of the comer, Yiyang remembered who this guy was. Kyle. Thompson, the guy who threatened that he couldn't limit Kobe Bryant's scoring to less than 25 points.

"Hello, sir." Yiyang looked at Thompson, and he was now wondering how this guy was going to shoot a basketball into the frame with his ass.

For this question, Kyle. Thompson himself has no answer. When he first made the bet, he was full of confidence and just said it casually. Who's going to really think about shooting with an ass unless his brain is really broken.

But at this moment, this seemingly unbelievable thing is the next Kyle. Thompson had to contend with.

"I made a bet that if Kobe Bryant didn't score 25 points tonight, I'd shoot with my ass. I keep my promise, but I may need your help. "Kyle. Thompson put on his old face and wanted to protect his reputation.

Unexpectedly, Yiyang waved his hand. Before the start of the game, Yiyang was still very interested in it. He'd love to see Kyle. What the hell will Thompson do if he loses.

However, when Yiyang really touched the victory, he felt that all this was no longer important. Victory is the greatest reward for their efforts. As for a narrator's bet, who cares?

Kyle. Thompson also thought that Yiyang wanted to do this thing another day, so as not to let him lose face in front of so many people and reporters at the scene. Just like back in the day Charles. Barkley's pro-donkey ass was also fulfilled a few days after the bet was lost.

However, what Yiyang said made Kyle. Thompson's eyes widened.

"Kobe Bryant didn't score 25 points today, but that's not my fault. Jason, Jeter, Stevenson and everyone else, it's us, we blocked Kobe, not me! So, you didn't lose. If you don't lose, you naturally don't have to fulfill your promises. After Yiyang finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders and showed a slight smile.

After that, the number one defender cut through the crowd and followed his teammates towards the players' tunnel. Kyle. Thompson froze in place, the way Yiyang spoke just now didn't look like a young man in his twenties at all.

If the winner of the bet at the moment was 20-year-old Kobe, perhaps he would have been relentless in supervising Thompson to deliver on his promises. This is young people, and young people are usually invincible after victory.

But Yiyang, looking at the back that was fading away, Kyle. Thompson feels he's more of a veteran. A veteran who doesn't care about winning or losing for a moment is a veteran who knows what true honor is.

Just like Tim. Duncan or Tony. Parker, do you think they're going to be compelled to win a normal game? Or do you think Duncan would take pleasure in humiliating his opponents? No, of course not. However, Duncan is already an old man who has been in the league for many years, but Yiyang, he is just a rookie.

When Kyle. When Thompson saw Yiyang's remarks in the newspaper that it was not difficult to defend Kobe, he felt that the Chinese guard was just another young man who didn't know what to do. That's why I made such a bet in a fit of anger.

But today, when Kyle. Thompson found out after he personally contacted Yiyang. It's not Yiyang who is hateful, it's those irresponsible journalists.

A terrifyingly mature rookie...... Now, Kyle only hopes that his son, Klay, who is about to enter the draft, can be like Yiyang when he enters the league.

After today's game, the NBA officially announced that Mavericks general manager Don . Nelson, named NBA Manager of the Year this season. With the victory of the game and the blessing of another honor, the Mavericks can be described as a double happiness.

And the biggest achievement of Nelson Jr. who was able to win this honor was that he and Cuban brought Yiyang to Dallas.

While the Mavericks have had a good season this season, the mid-season signing with Peja was a stroke of genius. But there is no doubt that Yiyang is the biggest plus point for Nielsen Jr. to win this honor.

A key series win and the honor of the best manager made it a great ride for the Mavericks tonight. With so many honors in hand, is it reasonable not to touch the O'Brien Cup again?

The overall score of the playoffs became 3-0, and after Xu Yiyang won the best sixth man, Nelson Jr. won another personal honor. This series of successes has boosted the morale of the Mavericks. The Los Angeles Lakers, who are already in a state of "half dead", have fallen into a trough.

On May 8, the Lakers and Mavericks faced off in Game 4. The level of attention in this game is far less than the previous three games. Although at this time, there are still a small number of fans who think that the Lakers will create a miracle of winning four games in a row to complete a big reversal, but it is always only a small group of people who still think so.

Most sane people, including the Lakers players themselves, know that they can't do anything back.

Phil. Jackson arrived in the locker room early today because he knew it was likely to be the last game of his coaching career.

He didn't put too much pressure on the players and didn't put too much pressure on himself. At this moment, the "Zen master" feels that he is really old. The godfather of the champion who used to be infinitely beautiful, now, when facing defeat, is so calm.

What about Kobe? He has also come to terms with reality. Today, he will continue to play with injuries. It's just that the desire to win, it's no longer so strong.

In this series, the Lakers' fatal flaws, in addition to Kobe's injury, the inability to prevent the Mavericks' outside line is also one of the reasons why they have come to such a field. And today, the Lakers have completely collapsed psychologically, and the Mavericks' defense on the outside is even more useless.

In the first quarter of the game, Nowitzki, Terry, Kidd and Yiyang hit four three-pointers for the Mavericks. Bryant tried to score on the court for redemption. But Kobe's resistance now looks so powerless.

However, in the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks' three points were just a test, and in the second quarter, it was the beginning of the explosion across the board!

Terry, Yiyang's big brother, feels hot today, and as long as Yiyang hands the ball to him, there is a chance that he can get an assist.

In just 12 minutes of the second quarter alone, Terry hit five three-pointers off the bench and scored 20 points at halftime. Peja, who also came off the bench, also had three three-pointers on the score.

This powerful outside firepower makes the already collapsed Lakers even more unable to parry. At halftime, the score became 63-38. The defending champions fell behind by a wide margin and the game seemed to have lost its suspense. Even Mike. Brin said that this kind of score can only be played on easy difficulty even in 2K games.

The Lakers were psychologically devastated, with Bryant scoring only 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting in the second quarter, and Bynum and Gasol also missed frequently under the basket. They have lost the strength to resist, and the Mavericks' unreasonable three-pointer wiped out the last shred of illusions for the Lakers. Equalizing or even overtaking has become impossible.

Faced with a game that is destined to lose, how many people are willing to work hard? In the second half of the game, the Lakers' defensive leakage continued to grow. And the group of shooters from the Mavericks really went crazy today.

Peja, Terry and even Barria, who didn't play much, all made frequent contributions from outside the three-point line today, catching the Lakers off guard. The more the Mavericks scored three points, the less incentive the Lakers had to resist. And the Lakers have no motivation to resist, and this game will turn into a one-sided slaughter. Such a vicious circle makes the score difference wider and wider. By the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had trailed by 29 points, and less than half of the fans who were still sitting in the Staples Center at this time remained.

You know, the ticket price for the Lakers' home games in this series is as high as the first in the league! But this unexpected outcome of the game made the ticket price seriously inconsistent with the value of what the fans saw.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant did not play again, and the Lakers came up with a rotation lineup and completely gave up resistance. And on the Mavericks' side, the three-point rain hasn't stopped. Mike. Brin was commenting on the game while looking up the information with his glasses. Because what the Mavericks did today is getting closer to NBA records.

When the game came to the last minute, Mike. Brin didn't even know how to organize his language. The defending champions collapsed and lost in such humiliating fashion. And the Mavericks, as if playing a game, tied several NBA all-time records.

In the first half, the Mavericks shot 11 of 15 three-pointers, which tied the best record in the NBA playoffs! In the whole game, he shot 20 of 32 three-pointers, which also tied the NBA best record. Jason. Terry was even more astonishing, scoring 20 points on 6-of-7 three-pointers in the first half and 9-of-10 from three-point range, tying the NBA playoff personal best record. Jett played 25 minutes and scored 32 points today. There is no doubt that this unruly old boy is the only protagonist today! ”

Under Terry's eye-catching performance, Nowitzki scored only 17 points, and Yiyang only scored 14 points. But because the Mavericks' shooters were unusually good today, in addition to 14 points, Yiyang also scored 14 assists, which was only one short of equaling Yiyang's career-high assist record.

Although under the exaggerated three-point shooting rate of Terry and others, Yiyang was a little overshadowed today. But is the 14+14 large two-pair data really not worth mentioning? It can only be said that today, the performance of the Mavericks is too exaggerated. Even 14+14 has become a norm.

At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 122-86, with the visitors in front and the home team behind. The Lakers ended their title defense with a humiliating 36-point deficit and shattered their dream of creating a dynasty again after a decade.

Kobe Bryant dragged his tired body to end the season's journey, and a generation of legendary coach Phil. Jackson ended his coaching career in the NBA in this undignified way.

4-0, this incredible score was presented to the world by the Mavericks. When the Mavericks and Trail Blazers were playing anxiously in the first round of the series, people said that even if the Dallas advanced, they wouldn't get far.

Now, however, they have swept the defending champions to advance to the Western Conference Finals on a high note!

Yiyang stood in the center of the Staples Arena, he stood in this basketball temple, and in the most exaggerated way, he won the game he wanted to win the most.

In the past, Yiyang would experience all of this in the game. Experience the scene of a duel with Kobe Bryant, and experience the scene of winning in Staples and being sought after by thousands of people.

Yiyang raised his head, and under the white light, Staples looked exceptionally beautiful. This is no longer a place where he can only come in games and dreams. It's the same street basketball court that once fell below the apartment in Wood, the same field he once conquered!

It's not a game, it's reality!

Yiyang looked at the score on the big screen at the scene and couldn't help but clench his fists.
