Chapter Ninety-Five: A Rising Star
Rajan. Rondo couldn't believe what had just happened in front of his eyes, and for some reason, Yiyang had become a little different since Kidd dropped the game with his tenth assist at the start of the fourth quarter.
When that guy got back on the court, he was very resolute in whatever he did. Defensively, he will decisively block and steal. On the offensive end, Yiyang never hesitated to pass and shoot. Even the stunner just now, Yiyang made a decision very quickly after seeing how many of his teammates had no chance.
The referee was still looking at the screen in front of the technical table, and at the same time, the expensive LED screen on the top of the American route center was also playing back the picture when Yiyang shot just now.
Rick. Carlisle clenched his fists nervously, as the head coach, he knew very well that the players had not played the tactics of the Mavericks' last offense.
Originally, Nowitzki was the final finisher, but the experienced Garnett didn't give Nowitzki any chance to catch the ball. Carlisle couldn't believe it, as a rookie, as a rookie who had only played four games in the NBA. Yiyang, he actually dared to shoot by himself in that situation!
You know, throwing a kill shot isn't a cool thing for the players. Shooters, you have to do it under a lot of pressure. If you hit it, it's fine, but if you don't make the winning ball, you'll be infamous if you don't do it.
This kind of ball is not something that anyone can throw if they want to, and the psychological quality of the players is not up to par, so they dare not take this hot potato. Not to mention Yiyang, a rookie, even many players who have been in the NBA for several years may not dare to shoot a killer ball. The parallel goods champion of the year, Kwamei. Brown even begged Bryant in the locker room not to pass the ball to him at critical moments, because he would be nervous as soon as he had the ball. From this, it can be seen how much of a test it is for a player to throw such a key ball.
But Yiyang, he didn't seem to be nervous from beginning to end. This guy was waiting for the referee's final decision with a blank face at the moment, as if it was just an ordinary shot.
On the big screen at the scene, the picture was frozen at the moment when the red light on the rebound was lit. The fans looked at it, and at this time, the basketball was completely out of Yiyang's palm. Although it was only a fraction of a centimeter, there was no doubt that Yiyang took the ball before the end of the game!
Seeing this scene, the faces of the Celtic triumvirate turned white with a "brush". They turned their heads to look at the referee, who had already gestured. Yiyang's last shot, the goal is valid!
Yiyang just wanted to shout, but he felt that he was being picked up by someone from behind.
"You're amazing, rookie! I'll buy tomorrow's doughnuts for you! It turned out that the excited "boxing king" Tyson had already "ambushed" behind Yiyang. As soon as the referee made his decision, he immediately carried out his own celebration.
"Stinky boy, you must be blind, aren't you? I don't care if you're blinded or not, look at the deflated faces of the guys in green, I love that! After that, Terry also hugged Yiyang.
Then, there was Nowitzki, who was equally excited. It's unbelievable Jose. Barria is Kidd limping and dragging a sore leg, and Sean is cheering wildly. Marion......
The Tanhua Show, who had only played four NBA games, became the object of his teammates' support in his fifth game.
Everyone laughed and hugged him as if Yiyang had been with the Mavericks for several years. However, in fact, this guy's NBA career has just begun.
"Good play, coach." As the Mavericks cheered, Rivers walked up to Carlisle with a blushing face. If it weren't for the need to go on business, Rivers, who was in a bad mood, really didn't want to stay here for a second longer.
It looked like the Celtics had taken the initiative, and slowly the Celtics defended Nowitzki very successfully in the final moments. Clearly...... Obviously, the Celtics have done their best.
But in the end, Rivers and his championship team were defeated by a rookie. Naturally, the game ended in such a way that Rivers would not be satisfied.
Rajon Rondo stood on the sidelines and glanced at Yiyang, who was high-five his teammates on the field.
"Remember you, boy." Rondo pouted unwillingly, and walked into the players' tunnel with irreparable grievances. I believe that in the next battle between the Mavericks and the Celtics, Yiyang's opponent will become even more difficult than now.
The Big Three left this sea of joy, and at this moment, the fans only had the winning Dallas Mavericks in their hearts and only Yiyang celebrating in the stadium.
Soon, the media, who had been allowed to enter the stadium for interviews, rushed into the stadium. Surprisingly, Nowitzki does not have the most journalists around him today. Most of them gathered around Yiyang, who sent out the lore.
"18 points, 10 assists, 2 steals, and this is your third consecutive double-double! Do you think you'll be the rookie with the most double-doubles this year? As soon as Yiyang walked to the entrance of the players' tunnel, he was stopped by a bunch of reporters. Without saying a word, the reporters picked up the microphone and began to ask questions.
"I'm more concerned about winning or losing the team than the personal data. I am very happy that the team won an important game today. Yiyang's answer was very tactful, and he successfully opened the topic about the two pairs.
"What was going on your mind when you made the last shot?" As soon as a few reporters retreated, more reporters rushed forward.
"I was actually trying to pass the ball and the last point that Coach Carlisle set out was with Dirk. However, the opposition's defence blocked my passing lane, and to be honest, I was forced to make a shot. After all, in this team, Dirk is the most efficient person on offense. Yiyang's understatement answer made the fans' eyes widen. In this world, there is a player who is "forced to be a scoundrel" to complete the lore. Some people deliberately pursue it all their lives, but they may not be able to do it!
Also, today Rondo made just 5 of 15 shots and had 11 points and 15 assists. Do you think you've beaten Rondo and become a player at his level? "The journalists' questions are getting more and more acute, and of course they want to provoke a war between Rondo and Yiyang.
"I gave him such a gorgeous two-double stat that you actually said I beat him. As it turned out, Rajan. Rondo is indeed a top-tier number one. There's still a lot to learn. Yiyang knew that the reporters had begun to skew the subject, so the cold-faced defender began to work hard to clear the crowd and walk towards the players' tunnel.
"Hey, hey! Excuse me, you and Valentina, a member of the Italian women's national basketball team. Is Vignari in a relationship? ”
"Also, what do you think of Yao Ming not playing in today's Rocket game?"
"Would you buy donuts for the team's veterans?"
Yiyang automatically blocked those questions that were not related to the game, and walked straight towards the player tunnel. The reporters remained unrelenting, but they were stopped at the entrance of the players' tunnel by the Mavericks' young head of security, Bullock.
"It's private here, gentlemen." Bullock's smile at the reporters didn't look friendly.
Looking at the large number of reporters who were still unfinished in front of him, Bullock felt that the world was really incredible.
The stunned young man who tossed alone in the training hall for a while in the summer now seems to be a bit of a star. But a few months ago, how many American media would have been willing to pay attention to him?
But now, Yiyang has become the focus of attention. Today's popularity even overshadowed Nowitzki, who scored 27 points on Garnett's head.
Man, I really can't imagine what the next step in your life will become. Just like Yiyang a few months ago, he would never have imagined that he would become the focus of attention on the court so quickly.
In Brock's mind, it seems that Yiyang's star-studded career path has since appeared. Today, everyone who follows this game has witnessed a new star and is about to set sail!
Keep flying wildly, poor boy of Wood.
