Although the third quarter of the game had just begun, Yiyang was already sweating. The tenacity shown by the Rockets today was much more than he expected.

Harden and Howard, when both guys are in great shape and desperate to win, the Rockets are not so easy to beat.

"It doesn't seem like they want to just give up the win, they're six points ahead. But it doesn't matter, we have to stabilize the situation ourselves first. Regarding Harden and Dwight's pick-and-roll, also, if they play pick-and-roll, then switch defenses and switch defenses to Harden. However, Dwayne, I need you to make up for Terry quickly, no problem!? ”

Yiyang and Wade both shook their heads. "No problem."

"Good, Rudy, shrink the cover to defend Dwight. This guy has no range, and the only way to do it after blocking is to go to the basket. Shrink the penalty area in advance and stop him for me! As long as Harden and Howard are restricted, there will be no suspense in this game! I want 2 to 0, not 1 to 1! ”

Carlisle has a tough attitude, and he doesn't want the Rockets to come back and win at the Center Arena in the United States. Harden and Howard were really good today, but not so good that Carlisle could give up the win!

An electronic beep sounds, and the pause ends. On the Rockets' side, the players let out a loud roar, seemingly cheering themselves up. Yiyang stumbled on the spot twice, and the Rockets were indeed much more difficult to deal with today than last time. But in the end, the victory will only be possible for the Dallas Mavericks!

On his first attack after returning from a timeout, Yiyang played the ball to Nowitzki. It seems that he wants to take advantage of Nowitzki's height advantage to play in the inside singles.

Nowitzki did take a few steps back, and Josh. Smith struggled. At that moment, Dirk suddenly threw the ball outside the three-point line. At this time, people found out that Yiyang had borrowed Tony. Allen's off-ball screen, pocketed to the bottom left corner!

"Stop him, stop him!" McHale shouted desperately off the field, wishing he could rush up and make up for it in front of Yiyang.

Seeing this, Josh directly let go of Nowitzki and threw himself at Yiyang. But Yiyang's speed didn't give Josh any chance to make amends.

With a three-pointer from the bottom corner running straight to the net, the Dallas Mavericks are aiming to reclaim their lead!

After scoring the goal, Yiyang raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers to celebrate the goal. His goal and celebration instantly rekindled the somewhat deserted home atmosphere.

With a lead of six points, the Center Arena in the United States is not safe at all!

Harden and Howard played pick-and-rolls as always, and the star singled out, which was the only offensive tactic McHale could come up with at this time. Instead of giving the opportunity to Josh to waste, let Harden and Howard try their luck.

I have to admit that in front of the strong Howard and the young Harden, Wade's defense is a little inadequate. In the previous few pick-and-rolls, Harden was able to get past Wade and then score from mid-range. But this time, when Harden bypassed the defense, he found that the Dallas No. 1 was waiting for him with open arms!

"Changing guards!?" Instead of being nervous, Harden calmly distributed the ball to Terry. As long as there is a supplement, there will also be an empty space.

But before the basketball flew into Terry's hands, it was intercepted by Wade, who rushed to make up for the defense!

"Fatal mistake, Wade's elusive strength ruined the Rockets' great chance!"

Wade cut off the pass and immediately ran wildly to launch a fast attack, and Wade did not have many opportunities in this game, which was a little short of the previous five games. But as long as the opportunity arises, Wade will definitely take it!

A one-handed dunk on a fast break, and Harden almost caught up with Wade. But on the basketball court, a little bit and a lot worse, the ending is the same.

After Wade scored a dunk, the Rockets' lead instantly became only one point. The Rockets can go from a 16-point deficit to a six-point lead, and again, a mere 6-point gap will not be able to beat the Mavericks with a 74-point deficit.

Team Rocket panicked, and the feeling of being completely controlled by the other party crept over again. Losing points in two consecutive rounds also put out some of the fire on Harden and Howard.

Then there was an attack, and it was Howard's turn to make a move. After blocking and dismantling, Howard couldn't believe that he, as a super center, was actually attacking in such a way that only blue-collar people can accept.

However, the blocking and dismantling is not as easy to play as Howard imagined.

Howard went down, and Harden also took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball to Howard. But when Howard looked up, he found Gobert with his arms raised and waiting under the basket. Howard had to go the next way after the pick-and-roll, which made him very predictable.

Howard was unwilling to give up, and he planned to force a layup by leaning on Gobert's "big bamboo pole", just as he repeatedly carried Gobert in the first half of the game.

But this time, when Howard, who was wearing the red No. 12 jersey, went up. He felt nothing but tremendous resistance.

Rudy. Gobert gritted his teeth, he didn't want to be beaten by an outdated star center. I'm a fucking pillar of the Mavericks' defense!

The fierce physical confrontation made the two elders not get any benefits. Gobert was choked enough, and Howard's layup went straight out of sight and slammed into the neck of the basket.

Nowitzki stretched out his long arm and protected the rebound. The Rockets' offense failed again, and the Mavericks had a chance to overtake the score!

Yiyang ran wildly with the ball, and all members of the Rockets also chased at full speed. It's definitely going to be fast, everyone thinks that Yiyang will definitely hit the basket! Yiyang did the same, but instead of shooting under the basket, he magically divided the ball calmly in the pile of chasers.

Nowitzki, who was at the back, had just run outside the three-point line when the basketball came at him. Nowitzki reached for the ball, well, his favorite position! The tacit understanding between him and Yiyang for many years has made Yiyang feed Dirk to the point of perfection.

No one thought that Yiyang would pass the ball, and everyone on the Rockets forgot that there was an old Dirk in tow at the back. So when Dirk received the ball, there wasn't even a single Rockets player within two meters of him. Dirk calmly took the shot, as if he was doing a three-point exercise, with ease.

The basketball hollowed into the net, and after the pause, the Mavericks successfully played a wave of 8-0 offensive and overtook the score again!

"It's a great matchup, and neither side is letting anyone take advantage. Less than three minutes before the Rockets took the lead, they were forced back by the Mavericks! "Mike. Brin's heart was beating wildly, and the situation on the field was changing rapidly. It seems that this is destined to be a tug-of-war!

As it turns out, Mike. Brin is indeed experienced. Although the Mavericks will overtake the competition, the Rockets have also adjusted and have not been depressed. Subsequently, the two sides really fell into a tug-of-war, and the score rose alternately.

With 2:25 left in the quarter, Yiyang broke through Terry and hit a backhand layup in the face of Howard, giving the Mavericks a temporary lead of 77-73. After that, Carlisle and McHale both came off the bench to prepare for the fourth-quarter showdown. As everyone knows, Iguodala was targeted by the opponent, but the Mavericks' defense did not give the Rockets any benefit to the second team. In the final two minutes, the Mavericks didn't score a point, and the Rockets only made one shot. The Rockets had a chance to equalize, but the experienced Andre Iguodala drew an offensive foul on Harden in the final minute to dash the Rockets' hopes. 75-77, the Mavericks still have a two-point advantage.

"So far, Mike, who do you think will win in the end?" Kevin. Harlan couldn't help but discuss it with his partner, the game was so exciting that he forgot he was working. This guy is completely enjoying every minute of watching the game from the commentary stand.

Mike. Brin didn't hesitate, and his answer was the Dallas Mavericks, and the reason was simple. "When it matters most, no one can play better than Yiyi!"

In the past, when it came to the king of the last days in Dallas, the first thing that came to people's minds was definitely Dirk. In the 2011 playoffs, Nowitzki was always able to enter a no-man's land in the fourth quarter of the game, and the Heat Big Three at the beginning of the formation were all knocked to the ground. But now when it comes to the king of the stubble in Dallas, apart from Yiyang, people will not give a second answer. Killing the game seems to have become Yiyang's patent.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Carlisle let Yiyang directly face Harden! In the last game, this is how the Mavericks strangled Harden to death. Today, Yiyang's defense still achieved good results.

On the first offense, Harden just lifted the basketball and was about to shoot, but was cut off by Yiyang's fast hand.

The second time, Harden broke through for a layup, and Yiyang worked hard to block it, forcing Harden to go wide of the basket without fouling.

On the third offense, Yiyang was entangled in death, so that Harden had to choose to pass.

The fourth quarter lasted nearly four minutes, and the Rockets only had Howard score a goal under the basket, and the Mavericks narrowly opened up the gap at 83-77.

Just when everyone thought the Rockets would fall, Harden magically hit a shot from mid-range, which didn't let him collapse, chasing the score to 85-87.

Yiyang was out of breath, Harden and the Rockets were really indomitable today. You finally pull away and they'll catch up again. It's hard to pull away and they'll catch up again.

Howard and Harden really did their best.

The entire fourth quarter continued to cycle in the rhythm of the Mavericks pulling away and the Rockets catching up with the score. Until there were 33 seconds left in the game, Harden assisted Howard for an aerial relay dunk, and after the Rockets hit a wave of 8-1, they once again only trailed by one point at 98-99!

33 seconds, 1 point difference. There is no doubt that the game has entered the stage of life and death! The Mavericks have the ball, and they still have a chance to make the Rockets die!

Looking at the Mavericks' bench, people don't have to think about it to know that the person who executes the last attack must be Yiyang! In fact, Yiyang pretended to seek an opportunity outside the three-point line, but suddenly hit the basket under the cover of Nowitzki!

Howard didn't have so many scruples, and when he saw Yiyang enter the penalty area, he jumped like crazy, and directly knocked Yiyang to the ground with the ball! Carlisle thought to himself that this game was stable, as long as Yiyang made two free throws and two hits, and the last defense blocked the opponent's shooting point outside the three-point line as planned, the Rockets would definitely have no hope!

However, something unbelievable happened, when Yiyang was so seriously violated, the referee didn't blow the whistle!

The players on both sides were stunned for a few tenths of a second before they remembered to compete for basketball! Because everyone, including Howard himself, thinks it's a foul!

The referee was a little nervous, he didn't dare to change the game because of his decision. In the scorching game, it's not just the players who are in a mood.

"I'm Cao, you idiot, you damn pig!" Carlisle cursed, even if he had always had a good temper, he could not tolerate the referee's fatal mistake. And the referee also did not give Carlisle a technical foul because of his own loss.

"It's really rare that I didn't finish the game! Anyway, Team Rocket now has a chance to come back from the dead! Kevin. Harlan's hand clenched the corner of his coat, he was waiting for a miracle to happen!

With Carlisle's shouting, Harden controlled the ball past half court. He was just about to accelerate and break through, but Yiyang overtook from behind and crossed in front of him!

Harden was startled, his wide-eyed eyes saying it all. How badly Yiyang was thrown by Howard just now, everyone can see. But Yiyang was able to endure the pain and make up for it so quickly, what an amazing will!

Unable to kill the game on the offensive end, Yiyang decided to get everything done on the defensive end!

He gritted his teeth and stared at Harden like a lion ready to tear apart his opponent at any moment!

Harden swallowed, he didn't experience a lore moment. But in the face of Yiyang, Harden felt that the pressure on himself was unprecedented!

Howard blocked the demolition and lifted it up, but Yiyang reached out and pushed it away, preventing Howard from approaching. In the end, Harden still broke through by blocking and dismantling, and Yiyang did not directly reflexively chase back, because he knew very well that Harden would not really break through, and this guy would wait for the defenders to retreat and shoot after chasing back! Yiyang knows that there is one place where Harden is very similar to himself, that is, they both prefer step-back jumpers!

So Yiyang squeezed hard in front of Howard and blocked Harden flawlessly!

Mike. Brin and Kevin. Harlan and the others had forgotten to speak, and only watched nervously at this desperate moment!

Under Yiyang's defense, Harden didn't get a chance. His feints and teammates' blocking and dismantling all have no effect on Yiyang! Harden is at most two steps away from Yiyang, but every time he is ready to shoot, Yiyang will stick it again!

Yiyang completely entered a state of wild running, and he couldn't forgive himself for missing at the critical moment, although it was actually the referee's pot. Therefore, Yiyang is determined to rely on defense to win the game and make up for his mistakes.

In the last 3.2 seconds, Harden still couldn't get rid of it, but Howard used a brilliant off-ball turn to get past Gobert and cut to the basket. Now, Harden can win the game by just throwing the ball in the air and watching Howard dunk it in beautifully!

However, as soon as Harden's basketball was thrown, Yiyang jumped up with incredible reaction speed and grabbed the basketball directly in the palm of his hand!

Everyone was dumbfounded, how did he do it!? This kind of reaction speed has not been achieved by many people in the entire history of the NBA.

Howard hung on the basket, but he didn't have the ball in his hand. An electronic beep sounded, and Harden fell to one knee with his legs limp. And in front of him, there is Yiyang who still has a fierce expression!

Eventually, the Houston Rockets and James. Harden still has to surrender to Yiyang's feet!

Mike. Brin and Kevin. The two Harlan finally recovered from the thrilling game, gasping for breath as if they had just been on the court.

"What am I talking about...... When it matters most, no one can play better than it. "Mike. As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
