Chapter 814: Earth-shaking changes

In the first four games, the Dallas Mavericks were completely suppressed by the Thunder. At the end of the day, it's because no one can contain Westbrook.

DeLong's defense isn't bad, but it's still a little inferior to Westbrook's all-out attack. Once Westbrook rushes away, the Mavericks will definitely help defend. And helping to defend means that there will be vacancies.

As a result, Durant gets too many open shots. If Durant is left alone, it is even more in line with Westbrook's heart. That guy can take the ball and hit the basket again and again to score high points.

But in the first round of the Thunder's offense today, Westbrook felt a lot of pressure. Because after Yiyang came back, he couldn't break through easily.

Russell tried to use his body to eat Yiyang, but was carried down both times. He has to get out of the ball as soon as possible because the 24-second offensive time is running out! ”

Westbrook isn't the kind of player who is willing to give up the ball easily, and unless the game is smooth, the more he will have to fight with himself.

Durant managed to run out of an open spot under Iguodala's desperate entanglement and raised his hand to ask for the ball, but Westbrook was indifferent.

"Bastard!" Durant secretly cursed in his heart, why as soon as Yiyang came back, that guy didn't seem to know how to play.

In the end, Westbrook took advantage of Adams' cover to reach the mid-range and hit a mid-range shot under Yiyang's timely block. Although Westbrook still scored in this goal, Carlisle was not worried at all.

That guy, there's no way he's going to play like this for the whole game.

After that, the sound in the arena of the American Route Center was an octave higher. Yiyang personally controlled the ball and passed the half, and the first attack organized by Yiyang in the Western Conference semifinals began!

In fact, in the past four games, DeLong has not had much of a problem with his organization. The problem with the Mavericks on the offensive end is that they don't have a point where they can force a point if they are defended by the opposing team.

Delong, Dirk and Wade, although they were all once hot stars, but now their ability to fight hard has indeed declined a lot. You know, the Thunder team has two defensive gates on the inside, Adams and Ibaka.

Adams, in particular, has long hair and a beard this season, and looks very rugged, which is very different from his previous image. In fact, that's what Adams really looks like, and his style of play is the same as he is now, rough and wild, and always full of power on the inside.

Yiyang looked outside the three-point line, and the Thunder's defense was indeed tight. Durant and Roberson are not bad defensively, and Wade and Iguodala have a hard time running out of gaps.

Since there is no space, it is up to you to tear a hole yourself!

But before Yiyang accelerated, Westbrook couldn't help but pounce and stretched out his hand to break the ball. Well, another gamble-style steal.

It stands to reason that a point guard like Westbrook, who has unbeatable physical qualities, should be a defensive titan like Yiyang and Paul. But the truth is, Westbrook doesn't know what defense is at all, and his defensive habits are so bad that even Donovan, a college coach, can't stand it.

The defense does not like to raise his hand to interfere, and likes to gamble on steals. With those two points alone, most people would be able to score points on Westbrook's head.

In the face of Westbrook's sprint steal, Delon knew in his brain that he should avoid it, but his body didn't have time to react. And Yiyang, his brain and body are very agile!

Changing hands behind him, it was easy, and Yiyang avoided Westbrook's rush. Once the rush is avoided, what is left for Yiyang is a big vacancy. It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.

Since Westbrook is so "enthusiastic", then Yiyang is better than respectful.

Easily, Yiyang broke through from Westbrook, whose center of gravity was all rushing forward. Outside the three-point line, Yiyang shot directly, and the basketball hollowed into the net.

"Tsk." Billy. Donovan shook his head, Westbrook's style of play is completely to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. It's okay to treat others, but if you fight Shangyiyang like this, it will be a little more than worth the loss.

"A beautiful goal, and it was easy to avoid Westbrook's uplift. The Thunder will have to be a little more cautious if they still want to advance. ”

was scored by Yiyang, and Westbrook was very unwilling. He wanted to continue to impact on his own, but after half-time he calmed down.

He can't act recklessly, as long as he wins this game again, then Yiyang will never appear in front of him again this season! It's all about winning, it's all about winning......

Thinking of this, Westbrook stopped his steps and patiently organized the offense outside the three-point line. Carlisle was stunned, is this still Westbrook?

Durant borrowed Ibaka's off-ball cover to get outside the wing three-point line and was ready to catch the ball. This time, Westbrook didn't let him down again. The basketball was delivered in time, and Durant took the ball and threw it!

"Less daydreaming!" Iguodala yelled and pounced on Durant, who didn't expect Iguodala to block so well, and the shooting rhythm was a little messy.

Outside the three-point line, the slight difference in the shot will turn into a huge deviation in the end. With Iguodala's interference, Durant shoots and hits the iron! Gobert carried Adams away and protected the rebound.

"Also!" Gobert made a powerful long pass from the backfield like a shot put, and the quick counterattack that had been lost for a long time finally appeared!

In Yiyang's absence, the Mavericks were missing an arrow figure in the transition offense. But now, the Mavericks are back to attacking in their favorite way.

Westbrook jumped up to steal the ball, which was actually another gamble-style steal. If you get it, stop the opponent's fast attack. If you can't grab it, Yiyang will hit the basket directly without interference!

Gobert's passing accuracy is not very high, and he can't make the ball just past the opponent's fingers. But alas, Westbrook really didn't have any luck today.

The basketball grazed Westbrook's fingers and fell backwards, and Westbrook's heart was shocked, he hated that he couldn't jump even a centimeter higher!

Yiyang received the basketball without danger, what should I do next? Needless to say?

With one foot in the three-second zone, Yiyang rose into the air, raised the basketball with his right hand, like holding an axe in his hand, and slashed at the basket vigorously! The basketball hoop lowered its "head" steadily, and Yiyang's dunk was so powerful that more than 20,000 fans at the scene collectively raised their arms and cheered!

"Five points in a row, and a strong comeback!"

After landing, Yiyang glared at Westbrook viciously. The strong Thunder No. 0 pouted, Yiyang had already scored 5 points in a row on his head!

"Dude, calm down, okay!?" Durant walked over to Westbrook and patted him on the shoulder. It's also that Durant has a good temper, if it were Kobe or James, Westbrook might have been scolded by now.

Westbrook didn't respond, instead running over to catch the ball. As soon as Adams passed the ball, he immediately shouted. "Be careful, Russell!"

Before Westbrook could react, a large hand reached out from behind him. The basketball was stabbed away by this big hand, and a gust of wind blew past Westbrook, it was the number one!

When Adams served, Yiyang hadn't even been in his field of vision. But the moment the basketball was transmitted, Yiyang rushed out. Yiyang's speed caught Adams off guard.

Seeing Yiyang complete the steal, Adams immediately ran to the basket to make up for the defense, but Yiyang's layup still crossed Adams's "high wall" and fell into the net.

scored seven points in a row, and the Mavericks played very strongly as soon as they came up!

"I have to admit that the Mavericks with Yiyang and the Mavericks without Yiyang are completely two teams! 7-2, the Thunder were completely overwhelmed by the Mavericks in momentum. "Mike. Brin saw that his scalp was numb, and he reversed 1-3? Maybe the miracle can be repeated!

In the following game, Westbrook and Durant were prevented from scoring under high-intensity defense. Yiyang came back to contain Westbrook, and Durant and others had a lot fewer opportunities.

Coupled with 3 to 1, the two were somewhat slack. After all, who would have thought that just because of one more person, the Mavericks would change dramatically.

Durant and Westbrook played like crazy, and Yiyang used his superb offensive skills to hit the Thunder's hinterland again and again. Around Yiyang, Dirk and Wade, two veteran stars, have finally played at the level.

Dirk frequently received Yiyang's balls in the middle and long distances to score easily, and Wade used his superb interspersed to make the Thunder unguardable.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks, who were already hanging on the edge of the cliff, led the Thunder by 11 points!

At this time, the weakness of the Thunder team was exposed. That is, in the Thunder team, in addition to Durant and Westbrook, there is no third stable scoring point!

Before the injury, Ibaka was able to perform on the offensive end, but after the injury, Ibaka played more like a pure blue collar. Aside from rebounding and defense, the only thing Ibaka can do is shoot threes. In previous seasons, Ibaka averaged just 0.8 three-pointers per game in the playoffs. But this season, it has risen to 3.8 times.

However, Dirk defended very well today and didn't let Ibaka get too many easy shots.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Westbrook and Durant obviously couldn't play. But Donovan couldn't make a substitution, and Vitesse, Anthony, and Anthony on the bench. Morrow and Randy. Foye and others, under this intensity of the game, are difficult to play.

The game was completely controlled by the Mavericks in the fourth quarter, and they tightened up their defense and didn't pull away again, but they didn't let the Thunder close the score.

In the final 38 seconds of the game, when Yiyang used a beautiful assist for Meijri to complete the aerial relay, the Mavericks once again widened the gap to 11 points.

At 38.11 seconds, the race can actually go into garbage time. But Donovan doesn't want to give up, as long as he wins one more game, as long as he wins this one more game, his team can reach the Western Conference Finals. How can you give up such a great opportunity so easily!?

He used up the last timeout he had in his hand in hopes of setting up the Thunder's next game.

But at 38.11 seconds, even if Donovan is the most powerful tactician in the world, it will still be too difficult to turn the tables.

After returning from the timeout, Carlisle replaced all the main players. The Dallas Mavericks, officially sounded the horn of their counteroffensive!

Eventually, the Thunder's offense came to an end with Westbrook's reckless three-point shooting. Donovan's face turned purple with anger, and he laboriously arranged it for a long time, but Westbrook didn't follow the tactics at all.

Durant looked at his good partner with a confused expression, and could only shake his head helplessly. He was even used to it.

"It's over! It's over! The Dallas Mavericks pulled one back at home to make the aggregate score 3-2! I know the Thunder still have the advantage. But now, it's no longer clear how they'll qualify! ”

At the end of the game, everyone in the Mavericks hugged Yiyang tightly.

In the first game, he scored 38 points, 12 assists, three steals and two blocks. The arrival of Yiyang has given hope to the desperate city of Dallas! Armstrong completely ignored his coach image and hugged everyone wildly, even though his tie had been ripped off by someone else.

The legendary calf is Yang Fan again.
