Presti, the general manager of the Thunder team, who was in the luxury box, watched everything that was happening on the court, and even forgot to take a sip of the red wine in his hand. Throughout the half, the general manager was seen with a big mouth.

Durant is like a well-tuned shooting machine, and when you see him jumping, you can raise your arms and cheer in advance. With 18 points in the half, Durant used his strong individual scoring ability to drag the Oklahoma City Thunder without Westbrook to soar.

After Durant walked back to the players' tunnel, he was still frowning and gritting his teeth. See, Russell? The gateway to a glorious future...... It's up to me to kick it off!

When all the players from both sides returned to the locker room, the cheers in the Chesapeake Energy Arena did not diminish in the slightest.

Even standing in the players' tunnel, Yiyang felt the ground shake. He was in the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt, and his feet were not stable at all!

Pushing open the door of the locker room, Yiyang didn't say hello to anyone and sat down in front of his cabinet. He hung his head and let the sweat drip down his cheeks.

Seeing Yiyang gasping for breath, while the team was still behind by so many points, the Mavericks players who did not perform well in the first half of the game were a little guilty.

"Do you really think you're going to make it easily!?" Carlisle yelled and cursed, and the academy coach slammed the tactical board to the ground. The poor tactical board was directly divided into three parts.

The atmosphere in the locker room reached freezing point in an instant, and the players didn't even dare to pant loudly, and hung their heads one by one.

"It's 17 minutes! Kevin's powerful firepower continues! If you are still like you in the second half of the game, you might as well just go out with a white flag for me! Carlisle waved his hand and sat back in his place. Angry, Carlisle turned red with shock. It's not often that you see a manager with a mild-mannered personality like this.

After Carlisle's roar, the locker room fell into a terrifying silence again. In fact, the players would rather Carlisle lose his temper, even if he says anything casually. Whatever it is, it's better than endless silence and waiting.

'In the second half, we had to be a little bit quicker on the offensive end.

Halfway through the 15-minute half-time break, the locker room was about to enter an "ice age". At this moment, someone finally picked up a "torch" and prepared to melt the "glacier".

Everyone looked up in surprise, even Carlisle. Because the person who spoke just now was not him as the head coach.

Yiyang propped his hands on his knees and rested his chin on his fists. The tone of the Chinese defender did not fluctuate without any fluctuations, as if he was saying something commonplace.

"The offense was too slow and there was no way to tear up the defense. Well....... That's it. Yiyang then added that this young defender, who usually doesn't talk much, has become the only one who dares to speak today.

In fact, Yiyang was as silent as he had been at first. But the team was in crisis, and he couldn't just watch the game end by the Thunder. So, Yiyang thought of Kidd, who had retired, and Terry, who was playing for the Celtics.

What would they do if those two guys were in such a situation? Thinking of this, Yiyang spoke. Terry and Kidd certainly won't remain silent in this situation.

"It's not over yet...... Damn, what are we doing here? Waiting to die? 17 minutes only, 24 minutes, that's enough. ”

Yiyang's cold tone was unexpectedly full of power. At this time, he is an out-and-out star, and everyone is waiting for him to call the shots!

"That's right, we're just half-time behind! We played too loose last game and it's the playoffs, guys! In the playoffs, you have to give your full attention at every moment! Nowitzki suddenly stood up and took over Yiyang's right to speak.

Compared with the taciturn Yiyang, Dirk's speech was obviously more powerful and inspiring. But there is no doubt that Yiyang made this good start for all this.

"As you can hear, we should have played a little bit faster on the offensive end. In the first half of the game, you couldn't get any chances! Collison, in the second half you play the starting point guard. Bring up the speed and don't stop. Also, I need you to be in the second position. Remember, it's up to you to direct your team's attack! ”

Carlisle struck while the iron was hot, picked up the tactical board and wrote and drawn. The enthusiasm of the Mavericks players was immediately mobilized again, and even Marion, a veteran who was beaten in doubt in the first half of the game, had both eyes shining at this time.

Before going on the field, Yiyang was the first to stand up and push open the door of the locker room.

As soon as he walked out of the house, Yiyang fell back and looked sideways at his teammates who were still in the locker room with a confused expression.

"What? Aren't you going to play yet? Let's go, we were defeated by the thunder last year, and this year, we must pay for it with blood! ”

Suddenly, the Mavericks players in the locker room rushed out. If Kidd knew that his students would one day become such an important person, he would be quite proud......

In the second half, when the Mavericks players walked out of the tunnel, the Thunder fans shouted overwhelmingly.

The bunch is still basking in a 17-point lead,? In the eyes of Thunder fans, this award should be won by Durant!

At the beginning of the third quarter, some commentators were still worried about the Mavericks' situation, while another group of people directly sentenced the Mavericks to death.

The Thunder players confidently faced Yiyang who came from the ball, but when everyone on the Mavericks started running, Durant instantly felt that the defensive pressure on his body was completely different from just now!

The interspersed with flowing water, the blocking and demolition at the right time, and the elusive passing of Yiyang. The Mavericks' unpredictable offense finally came back after disappearing for half the game.

On the first shot of the third quarter, Yiyang's pass gave Collison, who had a chance to run completely. But alas, Collison's basketball bounced twice on the basket and bounced out.

Although the ball didn't go in, the Thunder players were scared into a cold sweat. What did this group of guys go through in just one half-time break?

The offense is just the tip of the iceberg, Reggie. Jackson launched an aggressive offense, and he thought that the Mavericks' defense was still a fluffy cake, and everything was broken. But when he was about to use the pass as a sharp blade to cut through the Mavericks' defense, the experienced Marion suddenly burst out and intercepted Reggie's pass!

"Sean. Marion's judgment was very accurate, and the veteran made up for it to make up for the poor performance in the first half. He handed the ball directly to Yi, and also ran long distances! ”

Whenever Yiyang starts to speed up, the hearts of the fans will also speed up. Watching Yiyang complete the overtaking in the crowd, and then break through the crowd alone into the forbidden area. That adrenaline rush makes people want to cheer.

Yiyang jumped, but Durant arrived and stretched out his long arm to seal it!

At this time, Yiyang once again staged his classic lever move. I saw Dallas No. 1 bow down in the air, put the basketball in his arms, and only after dodging Durant's block did Yiyang lift the ball again. Basketball into the net not only earned the Mavericks two points, but also regained their confidence for the Dallas Cowboys!

"A blow of genius! Pull up the lever for a layup with your back to the defender, which has almost become a signature move! Ever since he joined the Mavericks, they've been a regular at the Top Five! Barkley finally raised his eyebrows, and the fans hadn't heard a word from him for ten minutes. Buckley, with a gloomy face, has now finally found a breakthrough to vent his emotions.

"It's okay, we just need to stabilize the situation! Don't panic, play like you did in the first half and the victory will be in the bag! "Scott. Brooks yelled from the sidelines, and people felt that the young marshal was overly nervous. Although Yiyang scored a beautiful goal, the Thunder still have a 15-point advantage.

People thought Yiyang's layup was the Mavericks' dying struggle, but in fact, it sparked a spark of hope for them.

The game continued, and Durant was still using the experience of the first half to deal with Marion. The pull-up jump shot during the breakthrough made Durant try it again and again.

But this time, Marion's block was very timely. This veteran gritted his teeth and would never let Durant score easily, even if he gave all his physical strength! As Yiyang's senior, he doesn't want to be laughed at by the young people.

"Boom!" The crisp sound of iron slamming spread through the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and Durant's first offense of the second half ended in failure.

By this time, Brooks had actually smelled a hint of danger. However, before his words could be shouted in his throat, Yiyang scored again!

Darren. Collison calmly divided the ball, allowing Yiyang to score outside the three-point line. Reggie. Jackson's small body looked so powerless in the face of Carman's pick-and-roll.

He was completely blocked by Kaman, and he could only watch Yiyang easily shoot a three-point shot. The Mavericks' tactics weren't really much different from the first half, but just because of the speed and more cautious and serious running, the momentum of the game immediately changed.

In the fourth minute of the third quarter of the game, Yiyang broke through the ball and assisted Nowitzki to score a mid-range shot, leaving only 13 points behind.

Thirty seconds later, the old Carter, who had been "invisible" for the whole game, fired a cold shot and narrowed the gap to exactly 10 points.

Although he still holds a double-digit lead, Scott. Brooks already remembers the hot pot ants.

If this momentum continues, it is only a matter of time before the Thunder are overtaken. Under Yiyang's leadership, the cheers in the Chesapeake Energy Arena were much quieter.

The Mavericks can't afford to easily pass the Thunder, so why not for the Thunder?

Everyone knows that if the game is fought to the fourth quarter, it will be the two stars of Yiyang and Durant.

Therefore, at the end of the third quarter, Carlisle and Brooks were very "tacit" to replace their leading stars. Victory or defeat still depends on people like them......
