Salt Lake City, this place Yiyang will be very happy every time I come. Because coming here meant that he would be able to communicate with his old friend Gordon. Heywood reunites. Heywood was the first real friend Yiyang made in the United States, and the memory of him and Heywood lifting the NCAA Championship trophy was also the best time of Yiyang's life so far.

Unfortunately, Haywood sprained his knee in a game two days ago and was unavailable today. So, this time in Salt Lake City, Yiyang couldn't get together with Heywood.

The Mavericks are returning to Dallas immediately after today's game, and they don't have time to visit Haywood in the hospital. The only thing to blame is that the schedule of this shortened season is too dense. The players usually leave after playing away from home, and there is no respite at all.

Although it is impossible to see the pit bulls facing off in the NBA, the game is still full of highlights. Because former All-Star guard Devin. The alignment between Harris and Yiyang has long whetted everyone's appetite. It's a pity that the development of this game seems to be different from what everyone imagined.

German. Harris desperately controlled the ball on the outside, looking at Yiyang with his arms outstretched in front of him, he was almost losing the confidence to continue attacking.

Harris spent the first stop of his career with the Dallas Mavericks. This guy also made a name for himself in the Mavericks. To say that there are countless excellent point guards selected by the Mavericks, Kidd, Nash, and now Harris and Yiyang were all selected by the Mavericks. The difference is that the current Yiyang has determined his important position in the team. After losing so many good point guards, Cuban may not add Yiyang to the trade list as he did before.

Faced with a rising star, Harris, who was popular a few years ago, had no way at all. Yiyang's defense is very aggressive, and with Harris's current speed, it is completely impossible for him to break through Yiyang directly.

As a star point guard, Harris's shooting and playmaking skills can only be regarded as average, and his body is relatively thin. When he was able to dominate the NBA, it was more because of his speed and endless interspersing to get opportunities.

But now that he has experienced an injury, he has lost the qualities he relied on to survive. Still, Harris has no intention of giving up. You know, the Jazz can also count on him to replace Delon. Williams' central position.

So the "outdated" star raised his left hand and rushed at the team's power forward Paul. Millsap asked for a pick-and-roll. Millsap shoots accurately, and his range can even be beyond the three-point line, making him a perfect pick-and-roll partner.

But Millsap's not very strong stature made it impossible for him to completely get Yiyang to death. Yiyang easily circled and chased after Harris again.

Harris thought he had gotten rid of Yiyang and made a pull-up jump shot from the mid-range position. However, it backfired, and the former All-Star guard had just jumped, and Yiyang's palm was sealed.

Yiyang's timely interference made Harris, who was not good at projection, completely out of rhythm. His shot hit the iron again, yes, again. This is Harris's seventh shot today, and his goal count is still stuck at the number of "0".

"I didn't give it to German at all. Harris faced, the game is over with five minutes left, and Harris still scoring 0. Can you imagine? Despite Harris' dipping form, he also kept a clean sheet against his position, which is still a terrible thing. It's impossible to keep a clean sheet on a basketball court without passing defensive ability! "Charles. Barkley looked at Harris's stats, playing 24 minutes, scoring on 0-of-7 shooting, and only 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the stats. It is not an exaggeration to describe Harris's performance today as miserable.

"There's nothing surprising about that, and yesterday it was also in Chris. Paul and Chauncey. Billups took turns to challenge, but still put on a good performance. What does this mean? This means that this young guard has become one of the first-line point guards. A point guard in the league's first line against a former All-Star who has gone out of breath, and the results are clear. "Kenny. Smith wasn't as surprised as Barkley, as Yiyang's performance yesterday had already made his jaw drop. Today against a German vin. Harris, Yiyang's excellent performance was completely expected.

On the court, Harris failed to shoot again, and Yiyang seized the opportunity to make another layup and used a fast layup to stretch the difference to 10 points. Jazz coach Tyrone. Corbin reluctantly called a halt to the game, the Mavericks had completely controlled the tempo, and the Jazz wanted to turn the game around, unless Yiyang suddenly became unable to play.

It turns out that such fanciful things do not happen in reality. The Mavericks held the advantage until the end, eventually winning 96-88 and easily defeating the Utah Jazz, who currently have a 9-4 record.

Yiyang scored 22 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal in the game, and under his organization, the Mavericks scored a total of 5 double-doubles, Nowitzki 17 points, Yi Jianlian 12 points, Marion 11 points, and Terry also scored 10 points. On the other hand, the Jazz, with the exception of Al. Jefferson and Paul. Outside of Millsap's two main lines, the performance of the others was simply miserable.

The worst of them all is Devon. Harris, 1 point, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. I believe that the former All-Star guard will never want to meet Yiyang again.

"An easy win allowed the Mavericks to avoid a losing streak. Although the Mavericks were not favored until the start of the season, their 11-4 record now leaves the Mavericks in the first group in the West. ”

"This season Dirk. Nowitzki's stats are starting to drop significantly, with Dirk averaging 21.7 points per game last season but 17.3 points per game this season. There's no doubt that Dirk is slowly aging, and there's a good chance that his inexplicable performance won't be seen again. But the Mavericks' record doesn't seem to be affected, because they have also taken over the burden of Dirk and carried the team to continue to move forward steadily! ”

As Barkley and Smith said, the Mavericks have begun to slowly transition from the Dirk era to the Yiyang era. The experience of this season will definitely give Yiyang a better room for growth. At the end of the season, Barkley believes that Yiyang will become a real superstar!

Although Yiyang won against Harris in a near-clean sheet, he didn't seem particularly excited. For him, Harris can't even be called a formidable opponent. I couldn't see Heywood today, and this game was no fun for Yiyang.

Sometimes you really don't know if Yiyang is a brainless guy or just cold-blooded.

After this game, Yiyang was named the best player in the West this week. In the star-studded West, Yiyang can win such an honor, which also represents his status in the league is steadily rising.

In the next few games, the Mavericks defeated the Hornets, Suns and Timberwolves. The winning streak has come to four again. It was at the juncture of this five-game winning streak that the Mavericks and Jazz met again. Only this time, the battlefield will be moved to the U.S. Route Center Arena.

In this game, Yiyang reunited with Heywood as he wished. And Stevens, who was the coach of the pit bulls team at the time, was also invited to the scene by Yiyang to watch the pit bull derby.

Although in the NCAA period, Haywood was higher than Yiyang in terms of strength and fame. But after entering the NBA, the development trajectories of the two are completely different.

Yiyang was selected with the third pick, and he suddenly killed all sides in the NBA. He was named to the All-Star team in his rookie season and won a championship ring.

Although Haywood has cemented his starting position with the team this season, his performance in the NBA has not been good enough. It can be seen that Heywood still has room to rise, but at least for now, he can't compare to Yiyang.

In this game, Yiyang once again came into play, scoring a double-double of 22 points and 12 assists. With his help, Yi Jianlian, who is good at projection, frequently got opportunities and scored a new high of 19 points this season! And Vince. Carter's performance on 3-of-5 shooting from beyond the three-point line also allowed him to score a decent 18 points. Most of the goals scored by these two men came from direct assists from Yiyang. There is no doubt that Yiyang can not only make himself better, but also make his teammates better. Except, of course, the kind of guy like Odom who doesn't have a mind on basketball at all.

Looking at the stats, you can probably guess how badly the Jazz lost. Heywood was efficient on the court, but he only scored eight points. In the face of a huge point difference, Heywood's 8 points are simply insignificant.

As for the German . Harris, with his 5 points and 3 assists, seems to be only a little better than last time. At least today, he also scored two goals on Yiyang's head. Overall, though, Harris is still being abused.

116-101, the Mavericks completely slaughtered the Utah Jazz from afar with a huge advantage of 15 points, completing the double kill against the Jazz this season.

After the game, Haywood, Stevens and Yiyang got together once, and today's victory finally made Yiyang feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

On a perfect night, Yiyang not only finally got his wish to catch up with his old friends, but also led the Mavericks to another five-game winning streak.

After this game, the Mavericks have one back-to-back schedule to play, and then they will be the end of their entire January campaign. The results of the All-Star Game voting will also be officially announced on January 31.

On January 29, Nowitzki defeated the Spurs, won the bull-horse battle, and also avenged the fall of the ATT center last time. On Jan. 30, the Mavericks, who were fighting back-to-back, made a big splash in Phoenix. With Nash sidelined with an injury, the Suns simply have no room to fight back.

The Mavericks scored 20 points for three players, Yiyang 21 points, Carter 20 points, and Terry 25 points. These three people completely collapsed the Suns' guard line. Nash, who was sitting on the bench in a suit, could only shake his head helplessly and watch the team being abused by the other party.

122-99, if Carlisle hadn't been replaced with an all-bench lineup in the last eight minutes, it is estimated that the point difference would have been stretched even more.

The battle in January ended perfectly, and under the leadership of Yiyang, the Mavericks won 7 consecutive victories. You can't tell that this is a team that is in the process of transitioning from old to new.

On January 31, the NBA officially announced the complete roster of the 2012 All-Star team. Although Paul, who was rejuvenated with the Clippers, stole the starting point guard position in the West, Yiyang and Nowitzki were still selected for the bench.

Yiyang, who is only in the second grade, is going to participate in the All-Star Game for the second time. After last year's champion Griffin was selected for the main event this year, the Los Angeles media also made a lot of noise about it. However, in Dallas, Yiyang, who entered the league a year later than Griffin, is already a "regular" in the All-Star Game.

Yiyang, who is in the limelight, leads the Mavericks all the way up, and Yiyang doesn't know that in the coming February, another Asian guard will also burst out of his full strength and become a terrible opponent!

On the streets of New York, an Asian youth is already eager to try......
