Chapter 142: The Storm of Youth

In the second quarter of the game, Hayward, who scored seven points in a single quarter, did not get even a minute to play. Jerry. Sloan is a stubborn old man, and if he decides not to use you, it's useless for you to score 30 points in a single quarter.

And it turns out that the Jazz can play well even without Hayward. Maybe Hayward will be a good player in the future, but at least not in Sloan's mind for now.

Sloan relies heavily on key players, which is a well-known thing throughout the NBA. But even so, while Sloan was laying out his tactics, Hayward was still listening carefully, waiting for his opportunity.

Of course, Sloan saw everything that the white striker did. He didn't know why, he seemed to have changed. Perhaps, it's because everything around me has changed. Hayward's attitude actually made Sloan's stubborn heart shake a little.

Delong, who performed well in the second quarter, did not have a relaxed expression, and Sloan's overly rigid tactics made Delong feel that this old coach was limiting his play. If it weren't for that damn tactic, Yiyang wouldn't have figured out his rhythm so quickly.

But he didn't want to quarrel with this old man at the game, after all, winning the game is what everyone needs.

"Keep putting pressure on that rookie in the second half! Millsap, give Delon some more pick-and-rolls. If the opponent switches defenses, you pass back to Paul and let him shoot. Kirilenko! Play more aggressively! Hit the inside line more, don't keep floating outside the three-point line! Sloane's tone was unquestionable, and others might have felt that the old man's arrangement was understandable. But Delon knew that Sloan's rigid tactics would soon be cracked by the Mavericks!

"Continue to put pressure on DeLong and pass the ball more on the offensive end. The Jazz don't have many offensive points, and in the end they will be able to see their fitness as a key to their offensive efficiency. But we're different, and I want you to play more than that. Use more points of fire to devour them! Carlisle doesn't expect his players to put Delon. Williams, the league's top point guard, is completely limited, but the war of attrition, which is exactly what Carlisle, who likes to play long battles, likes to play the long game.

At the start of the third quarter, both sides changed their starting lineups. Although Yiyang was sitting on the sidelines, he was staring at the No. 8 fat man.

Every movement of Delong, every rhythm change is deeply imprinted in Yiyang's mind. The Jazz's cookie-cutter offense, while efficient, is also easy to target.

If it weren't for Al. Jefferson has repeatedly caused fouls on the inside, and it may be that the Jazz are already having a hard time getting a chance to score.

Three minutes into the third quarter, Delon hit a tough breakaway that knocked Kidd down. But the referee didn't blow for an offensive foul, which he thought was a reasonable collision. Deron didn't care so much, he got an open spot after Kidd went down, and then hit a mid-range shot.

This was originally a normal conceded goal, but Kidd, who was knocked down by Delon, was slow to get up.

Carlisle nervously called a timeout, and if Kidd, who is nearly 40 years old, misses the slightest, it will be a huge blow to the Mavericks' lineup.

Although Kidd kept waving his hand and said that he was fine, he was only injured, and he was hit too much to recover for a while. But Carlisle was still not at ease, so Yiyang was ordered to appear early!

Seeing that rookie appear again, Sloane couldn't be happier. Seeing the Mavericks' defense getting tighter and tighter, Kidd went off the court halfway through. Now that Delon has this rookie, the Jazz's offense can get back on track.

Sloan was relieved, but he didn't know how much pressure his No. 8 ace was in his heart at this time.

First, the Mavericks attacked, and Hayward looked at Yiyang, who was advancing with the ball on the court, and his eyes were full of envy. Delon looked to his sides to make sure there was no pick-and-roll. Therefore, he also thought that this ball Yiyang would not attack by himself.

However, in the next second, Yiyang's calf suddenly kicked forward, passing by Delong, who was not prepared.

Williams immediately turned back to chase back, but just as he changed his focus, Yiyang took a step back. This time, let him and Delong completely pull away!

Yiyang's step-back step took him back beyond the three-point line, and DeLong was two steps away from Yiyang at this point. Off the court, Hayward knew his team was in trouble.

Perhaps because he liked this rhythm, Hayward found out in college that Yiyang's step-back shooting percentage was higher than that of fixed-point jumpers. This is true for Yiyang, whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-point shot.

Yiyang does prefer the feeling of shooting immediately after stepping back, but in the efficient NBA arena, Yiyang rarely does this because he is afraid that he will mess everything up.

But now, in the face of Delong, who was shaken away, Yiyang did not hesitate any longer. Stepping back and then jumping from beyond the three-point line, Sloan was already yelling at the sidelines to protect the rebound. However, the basketball spun and fell into the net, and Yiyang hit a three-point shot!

"Also! Beautiful step-back shot! Even the experienced Delong. Williams, I didn't expect him to have such a hand! "Not to mention Delon, even Mike. Brin didn't expect Yiyang to shoot a three-pointer. After all, that Tanhuaxiu, like Kidd, is notoriously inaccurate for three points.

Watching Yiyang resolutely hit a three-pointer, Hayward almost got up from his seat and waved a towel. Fortunately, he glanced down and remembered that he was wearing a Jazz jersey now.

The boy's eyes changed. Kidd, who was still holding his chest, looked at Yiyang's performance and couldn't help but show a mouthful of white teeth.

By Delong. Williams bullied the whole section, and now, that Chinese is going to start fighting back! Debts must be repaid, this is the characteristic of Yiyang!

Yiyang was no longer expressionless, but frowned and looked fierce. He's a game-type player, what does a game-type player mean? is that the more pressure the other party puts on him, the more excited he is! The stronger the opponent, the better his form! Who is the most famous game player in the NBA? There is no doubt that Kobe. Bryant!

The current Yiyang is not as terrifying as Kobe, but when Delong saw Yiyang's expression, he was still uncomfortable.

This time, Yiyang didn't press on Delong, but let him go a little distance. Delon looked at Sloane, and the old man's stern eyes kept Williams from playing tricks.

So Delon raised his hand and called for a pick-and-roll, and Kirilenko began to run for opportunities, and everything looked the same as before.

The pick-and-roll was in place, and Williams immediately broke through. Nowitzki and Yiyang switched defenses, and according to tactics, Millsap got an open shot opportunity. Because the short one in front of him is not a threat.

Just as DeLong was about to pass the ball, he found that Yiyang was stuck in his passing path accurately. The tactics didn't come out, but DeLong was already deep in the enemy's ranks!

In the end, Delon had no choice but to pass the ball to Kirilenko, the alternate ender. Kirilenko burst into the ball, but his physical confrontation ability was not as good as that of the previous Russian, and he failed to make a strong layup again.

The Jazz team failed to attack, Yiyang grabbed the rebound, and then started to advance quickly!

Seeing that Yiyang was planning to attack, Delong immediately used his strong body near the midfield line to block this Tanhuaxiu. Delon's physique proved to be the top presence among guards, and he successfully slowed Yiyang's advance and did not let the lightning-fast Chinese go straight to the basket.

Although Yiyang's pace has slowed down, his thinking and hands have not been delayed. Suddenly, he made a powerful pass to the left with both hands, and the basketball flew into the hands of Terry, who was just in the back behind.

Terry made a sharp stop with the ball and stopped just outside the three-point line. "Jets" liked this three-point rhythm and he caught up in the Raja. Bell took a shot with poise before he was in position. The basketball hit again, and the Mavericks scored 6 points in a row to officially complete the comeback.

The Mavericks are starting to blossom more, but the Jazz are still playing rigid pick-and-roll. The connection between Delon and Millsap was once again severed by Yiyang, and Kirilenko received the basketball again.

This time the Russian learned smartly, he didn't break through, but caught the ball and shot. After all, he has an advantage in terms of arm span, and Marion may not be able to interfere with himself.

But it turned out that this was just wishful thinking on the part of Kirilenko. AK47's shot hit the right side of the basket and missed. The Jazz's pick-and-roll failed again, and Chandler grabbed a defensive rebound and didn't give Salt Lake City's Predators a second chance to attack.

Instead of dragging the team back, Yiyang, who replaced Kidd, used a beautiful assist to help Nowitzki comfortably receive the basketball in the three-second zone.

The German turned and hooked his hand, and the basketball went into the net. The gap of 4 points is still the same, but the teams that are leading and falling behind have switched places.

"Damn it!" Yiyang's performance was completely different from the second quarter of the game, which made Sloan a little doubtful of what he was holding onto. Could it be that a rookie can really be the backbone of a team? Sloan looked at Hayward, who had a serious expression, and then shook his head.

Again, after holding the ball, Kirilenko was ready to hoist the ball to Al, who was in a good position on the inside. Jefferson. But Kirilenko's overly obvious intentions were anticipated by Nowitzki, who stood up early and intercepted the pass in the middle of the game, exposing the Russian's passing errors once again.

Nowitzki hurriedly handed the ball to Yiyang after the steal, and Yiyang hit the ground with a long pass, and the basketball passed through several legs to Marion, who had already started. Marion was not afraid of DeLong's reinforcement and won a one-handed dunk with a forceful one-handed dunk.

After Marion's dunk was successful, the referee's hurried whistle was heard. It wasn't that Delon had fouled, but that an angry Sloan called a timeout.

"Are you idiots!?" There is no doubt that the old man is furious again. This guy maybe only in old friend Larry. In front of Miller's tombstone, he will reveal his docile appearance.

"Gordon! You're on the field! If the ball gets to you, shoot that damn basketball to the hoop for me instead of giving it to someone else! Hearing this, Kirilenko was naturally a little unhappy. But what can he do? Stand up and resist like Delon?

Hayward didn't dare to slack off, and now was the time when Sloan was in a bad mood. If you move a little slower, you will make him unhappy.

Hayward's re-appearance was considered by many commentators to be Sloan's deliberate act for the players to see. As long as you don't play well, I'd rather let the rookie play than put you on the bench.

But Hayward doesn't think he's just a sign that Sloan uses to warn the main players, he comes on the field just to win!

On the subsequent offense, the Mavericks have become very skilled in defending the Jazz's pick-and-roll. The opportunity came again at the No. 3 position, Hayward did not tremble with the ball, and in the face of almost the same situation as Kirilenko, Hayward confidently made a jumper to finally break the scoring drought for the Jazz. This time, Kirilenko's expression was even more ugly.

Hayward's re-entry got Stevens excited again. And throughout the third quarter, the performances of Yiyang and Hayward made the young marshal smile from ear to ear.

"It's going to be a pass, no, it's a fake pass. His real purpose is to make a layup himself! Delon was deceived, Jefferson was deceived, and the entire Jazz was tricked by this rookie. With a two-point shot, the Mavericks continued to consolidate their advantage. ”

"Delong. Williams' mid-range shot! No, the interference was very good and the shot missed. Wait, Gordon! Gordon. Hayward grabbed the rebound, he made a tough layup under the basket, Chandler fouled, and the ball went in! Hit three points! Hayward gets a three-pointer! ”

"It's also a wonderful pass, Marion turns again, and the opportunity is in Terry! Yes! Jets are taking off! It is true that the organizational ability does not match the word rookie at all. ”

"Hayward flies and dunks! Ho ho, white people can fly! ”

Mike. Brin's voice seems to have been born for Yiyang and Hayward, maybe Sloan couldn't have imagined that the two rookies who had not dried up had become the leaders of this important game!

But that's the way it is, Deron was blocked by Yiyang, and Jefferson and Millsap couldn't get the ball for a long time. It was with Hayward that the Jazz were able to bite the score.

In the third quarter, both sides played very well offensively, among which Yiyang and Hayward undoubtedly became the two brightest spots.

Although Sloan wasn't sure if that childish Hayward would be the decisive winner of the game in the fourth quarter. But at least now he's pretty sure he's going to have to add some of Hayward's playing time in the future.

The twin stars of the Bulldogs have shocked people on the NBA stage, but no matter how good the two men are, only one of them can win the game now playing for two different teams.

And the final quarter of the game to determine the final winner is approaching. The youth storm of the two newcomers, it seems, will continue to wreak havoc in Salt Lake City!
