Chapter 749: Resisting "Yi"
Tony. Allen's defense didn't give Brewer any chances, and the Mavericks' defensive ability on the wing was completely unmatched by the Rockets. Harden couldn't get out of the ball because of Tony. Allen's chances of fully connecting the ball were left unfor Brewer.
Howard is the second-least efficient offensive player in the league in the low post this season, and Harden doesn't want that guy to waste opportunities in the low post. After all, Gobert had just given Howard a taste of hot pot twice.
Harden decided to play his own, at least Wade's defense is not among the best in the league right now. As long as you're not the league's top defensive expert, it's very difficult to contain Harden.
Harden took a step back and continued crotch luck. It's time to start! But suddenly, Harden's rhythm changes are equally rich, and even reminded Wade of his experience when he defended Yiyang last season.
Just when Wade couldn't figure it out, Harden suddenly stopped changing hands under his crotch, and then accelerated. As soon as Wade reacted, Harden was already leaning on him to break through.
I have to admit that Harden's body is also quite strong at the point guard position. Wade feels that it is really difficult for him to resist Harden, the times are really improving, and these young guys are about to shoot all the old guys to death.
Howard hugged Gobert behind him, and Harden's eyes were wide open. Without any hesitation, the bearded man leaned directly on Wade to make a layup. But Harden made a fatal mistake and why he can't be a pure No. 1 position.
At the same time that Harden broke through Wade, Yiyang chased after the two. At this point, Terry is completely empty, but Harden, who is already determined to attack, can't see these gaps. For James. For a player like Harden, he can only see his teammates when he wants to pass the ball.
Harden thought he was going to score the ball, but as soon as he lifted the basketball, a hand reached out behind him and slapped the basketball away!
You don't have to look back, Harden knows who it is, except for Yiyang, no one can do it!
The Rockets' offense failed, and although Gobert was a big center, he was unambiguous when it was time to go down. After a scramble, Gobert emerged as the winner, lifting the basketball and making a long pass straight to the backcourt.
Terry knew Yiyang's habits, he simply knew Yiyang too well. Many of Yiyang's current chicken thief tricks were taught to him by Terry. But the huge gap in ability between Terry and Yiyang has reached the point where Terry knows what Yiyang is going to do, but he still can't stop it.
The basketball was still flying high above Terry's head, and Terry knew that with his current bounce, it was impossible to catch the basketball, but Yiyang could.
Dallas' No. 1 guard picked up the basketball with a jaw drop for Terry. After landing, Yiyang has already arrived at the basket. Terry hurriedly pounced, but Yiyang took the initiative to give Terry a physical confrontation, carried Terry away, and then easily put the ball in under the basket.
Terry rubbed his ribs, Yiyang's stinky boy really didn't recognize his relatives on the field. Yes, just because he even covers his wife on the basketball court, there is nothing he can't do.
After Yiyang's goal, the Mavericks have officially led the Rockets by a full 15 points. At just halfway through the second quarter, the Rockets were already trailing by 15 points. And for such a situation, the rocket does not have a very good way to chase it back.
Since the eighth minute of the first quarter, Carlisle sent on Iguodala, the situation has changed dramatically. Yiyang and Iguodala took turns in charge, and the Mavericks' offense and defense have been kept at a very high level.
Sure enough, in the seventh minute of the second quarter, Iguodala came on again. As soon as he got on the court, Ariza, who had finally scored five points in a row, was dumbfounded.
Then, after receiving a pass from Yiyang, he hit two three-pointers in a row to re-widen the gap to 19 points, and the Rockets have been hovering on the verge of dying. Maybe even McHale didn't expect the Mavericks' roster depth to be so good.
Iguodala scored 16 points on 5-of-6 shooting in the first half, leaving everyone on their lips. Yiyang had 15 points and six assists, and the Rockets' best performer was Josh with 12 points, while Harden and Howard had only seven points each. The Rockets shot just 3-of-10 from three-point range in the first half, which shows how much pressure the Mavericks' defense put on them.
In the regular season, the Mavericks won against the Rockets on defense. In the playoffs, the Mavericks stepped up their offense while maintaining a still good defense. For the first time, McHale felt hopelessness, the despair that the Rockets had tried their best and still couldn't win the game.
"Iguodala is a smart player, he knows when to hit the plate, and he can paddle in the regular season without having to do everything. Iguodala was once a leader in the 76ers' post-Iverson era, he was the team boss and had a good mentality, not counting the ball and statistics. The Mavericks have enough good players and a deep roster that they don't need to charge too much in the regular season. But when it comes to the playoffs, it's time for him to exert his strength, and Iguodala will not be relentless! In this intermission, the commentators rarely praised Yiyang, but praised Iguodala.
Iguodala played well in the first half, even more dazzling than Yiyang.
"What more can I say? Andrei finally stopped pretending to be dead. Before you know it, the Mavericks have another superstar! ”
Trailing by 19 points at halftime, although the gap was huge, the Rockets really didn't give up. After all, the series was 3-1 and they all turned over. 19 points at halftime is not impossible to turn over the same.
Harden was the first to stand up and respond, he only scored 7 points in the first half, and he hit 5 consecutive goals on Wade's head as soon as he came up in the third quarter! McHale cheered Harden off the court for his brilliant performance, seemingly forgetting that he had put Harden on the bench in the last series. Harden's wave of offense narrowed the gap to 8 points in one fell swoop. At this time, Carlisle took a timely timeout and arranged a simple switch, letting Yiyang go to Harden and Wade to mark Terry.
A simple change of position made Harden quickly dumb up. Harden can indeed use his weight to crush Yiyang to the basket, but even if he does, he doesn't get much of a chance to shoot.
Harden was very unwilling, obviously he said in front of the camera that the Houstonians were coming to take away the victory, but as a result, the Mavericks locked the victory well, and he couldn't touch it at all.
What about Howard? This guy seems to have disappeared today. Low-post singles were Howard's means of survival. But when what he lives on becomes inefficient, it shows how awkward Howard's position is. The only place he can contribute now is on the defensive end.
Harden is dumb, the "Hairband Gang" is not pumped, and Howard is like a transparent person...... Such a rocket, naturally, will not be able to defeat the legendary calf.
After chasing the margin to eight points, the Rockets didn't see any hope. Iguodala and Yiyang teamed up to take away the game and the Rockets' fantasy of eager to win with an 11-0 climax.
110-92, in Dallas, no one but the Mavericks can pull off miracles. Yiyang had 28 points and 11 assists, and Iguodala had 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. These two guys teamed up to cut off any chance of a miracle happening.
After the game, facing the cameras of reporters, James . Harden doesn't seem to have the same ruthlessness he had since he finished the Clippers the day before yesterday. This game made Harden clearly understand what a gap is.
But if Harden could have known in advance that there was still a long time before the Western Union "resisted" days, it is estimated that he would become even more desperate...... (https:)
