Chapter 788: Keep up with the rhythm

Does Yiyang know Arabic? This has become a question that Mejri asks whenever he meets people these days. And everyone on the Mavericks, including Carlisle, nodded very seriously.

As a result, Meijerry admired Yiyang even more. This guy doesn't just play the ball well, he even speaks Arabic!

As a result, Meijri often spoke to Yiyang in Arabic, and Yiyang nodded gently every time. Meijery was even more incredulous, because his questions happened to be answered with a slight nod.

"Also, do you think I'll be able to hold off DeAndre in the next fight. Jordan? ”

Yiyang nodded.

"Also, will you pass me an air relay in the next game?"

Yiyang nodded.

"Well, we're going to win the next game, right?"

Yiyang continued to nod.

A series of coincidences convinced Mejery of Yiyang's ability to speak Arabic, until one day, Carter couldn't stand it anymore and told the truth to this cute Tunisian man.

"You know what? In fact, I don't understand Arabic at all. ”

"I know you're kidding, Vince. You didn't know he could speak it before, just because no one in this dressing room could speak Arabic with him. I'll prove it to you, tomorrow against the Clippers, I'll talk about tactics in Arabic and Yiyang that no one understands! ”

Meijeri's reaction made Carter a little crying and laughing, Yiyang, this kid, looks quite honest, but he plays tricks on rookies in a set.

The matter of Yiyang and Meijery is just a concoction in the Mavericks locker room. What the Mavericks really care about now is actually the Los Angeles Clippers.

As the defending champions, losing the opener, everyone held their breath. Among them, it naturally includes Yiyang.

In the past two days, Cuban has received several calls from the team's trainers. In order to simulate the tactics of the last attack, Yiyang left several trainers behind to simulate the defense at the last moment. He instructed the trainer to stop him by all means, even if it was a foul.

As a result, the trainers had to work overtime with Yiyang until late every day, complaining to Cuban one by one.

"I haven't been home for dinner for two nights, and my wife still thinks I'm having an affair, and she doesn't believe I'm practicing with Yijia. She said, how could a star with such a beautiful wife be willing to spend his time fighting this kind of thing with a group of men like you. I just have ten mouths, and I can't tell. ”

Receiving these calls, Kuban was also a little crying and laughing. While he silently paid the trainers overtime, he was also pleased.

That guy in Yiyang is also holding his breath.

On Oct. 30, two days after the opener, the Los Angeles Clippers and Blake. Griffin finally arrived. Before today's game started, Yiyang came to the training ground early to prepare for the game. Don't look at his usual love to joke with Meijerry, but now that the war is approaching, Yiyang is still quite serious.

The Clippers have been in the spotlight since they first got off the plane, and of course, the most popular reporter on the Clippers roster today is not Paul or Lance, who has just joined. Stephenson, but Blake, who is outspoken in front of the camera. Griffin!

Blake. Griffin and Yiyang, these two guys have been bitter rivals since their rookie season. Five years ago, Griffin celebrated his brava after knocking Nowitzki over, and then Yiyang pushed him away, and the two guys who didn't look at each other became rivals ever since.

In the years that followed, the animosity between the two grew as the Mavericks knocked the Clippers out of the playoffs twice.

So now, seeing the Mavericks team led by Yiyang lose the first game, Griffin can't say how happy he is.

After so many years, Yiyang finally stumbled!

That's why Griffin spoke out in interviews. The Mavericks are in trouble right now, and the Clippers are in good shape after a summer of reinforcements.

The opportunity for revenge was imminent, and Griffin didn't want to let it go.

Today, when Griffin is interviewed outside Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, he is still confident.

"We're here to win in Dallas. They were champions last season, yes, but the new season has begun. Who will win this season, but I can't say for sure! ”

Griffin's answer undoubtedly satisfied the reporters, and tonight's game is bound to be quite hot.

The reporters who didn't think it was a big deal moved Griffin's words to Yiyang's ears as they were, and at this point, there were only 15 minutes left before the start of the game. The reporters are very much looking forward to it and expect Yiyang to give a strong response.

Facing the camera, Yiyang didn't seem to be angry. He just spread his hands, and there was no fluctuation on his face. "Blake has said that almost every season, and I hope he's going well this year."

Without any dirty words or even any emotion, Yiyang made the most beautiful response. I have to admit that Yiyang has improved more than just his skills. Now this guy is fighting with words, but he's just as good at it!

Of course, no matter how fierce the scolding war between the two sides is, it is useless. It is necessary to wait for the 48-minute hand-to-hand combat to be completely over before the conflict between the two can have a result.

"While the Dallas Mavericks are the defending champions, they weren't invincible in yesterday's game. The myth of 74 wins doesn't come up every season. As long as the Clippers give it their all, they still have a chance to win. "Kenny. Smith was more optimistic about the Clippers before the game, and if the Clippers had not been unlucky to be overturned 1-3 by the Rockets last season, they should have been able to go far in the playoffs.

This season, the Clippers' roster has also been strengthened to a certain extent. In addition to keeping the three central axes of Paul, Jordan Jr. and Griffin, they also brought in Paul. Pierce, Lance. Stephenson and Josh, who helped the Rockets win a successful comeback in the playoffs last season. Smith and other powerful players.

The Clippers' entire roster, from starters to bench depth, stands up to scrutiny. On paper, the Clippers and Mavericks are indeed capable of going five-to-five.

"Basketball is never just a matter of paper, Kenny. Shut your mouth and let's watch the game first. Barkley slammed his head as always, whether it was O'Neal or something else who was talking to him. As long as the Mavericks are not, Barkley will be overtaken if he is justified or not.

The referee signaled that the starting five tigers of both sides were ready in the designated position, and the game was about to begin. In the arena of the American Route Center, the shouts of the fans reached their first peak. After losing the opener, fans are also very eager for the Mavericks to get one back.

A war in peacetime is about to start in Dallas!

Rudy. Gobert won Jordan Jr. in the jump-ball stage, much to Rivers' surprise. In his opinion, Jordan Jr.'s athleticism is already at the top of the five. But Gobert's progress was so fast that Rivers didn't expect.

This summer, Gobert and Yiyang trained together, but they didn't go to the heat. Ahead of the start of the new season, ESPN counted the ten players who are most likely to complete their transformation this season. Among them, Goebel in the third grade is impressively listed.

After winning the basketball, Paul immediately became nervous. As long as he sees Yiyang holding the ball, Paul will never be able to relax.

However, Yiyang only took the ball past half of the court, then hoisted the ball into the penalty area and hit Dirk.

The Clippers didn't dare to wrap it up, so they could only let Griffin defend Dirk one-on-one. After the last game, people said that the Mavericks only had one offensive strength, Yiyang. However, in fact, Nowitzki scored 18 points on Green's head in the last game!

Dirk stepped back to earn himself a bit of space, and then the Rooster stepped back for a jumper. Griffin tried to block, but his short hand was a little awkward. Nowitzki didn't get too much of a distraction and the basketball went into the net.

"Dirk's singles seemed to be very easy, and the Mavericks were the first to score before they even made a shot!"

The Mavericks have a single point of attack? Yiyang himself was the first to disagree.

On the next Clippers offense, Paul used pick-and-rolls to attract the defense and then very skillfully passed the ball to J.J. Redick. Redick was able to get to the outside of the three-point line with Griffin's off-ball screen, and he caught the ball and hit a three-point shot. Rivers now likes to hit Redick first, hoping that the white guard can use his accurate three-point shooting to lay some basic advantage for the Clippers. For now, Rivers' abacus is still playing loudly.

3-2, the two teams played evenly after the opening, scoring one goal each.

The Clippers were on the lookout, knowing they couldn't beat the Mavericks on offense alone. You have to be equally good defensively and offensively to have a chance of winning the game.

Yiyang is still the center of gravity of the Clippers' defense, and as Nash expected, the Mavericks are now studied thoroughly across the league. In order to defend against Yiyang, Rivers designed several layers of defense, just to be able to quickly make up the defense.

But Yiyang's offense this time still didn't even step into the three-point line, and he assisted Wade to shoot a step inside the free throw line. Wade had the advantage in height, and Redick's interference was in vain.

The Mavericks scored two goals in a row, neither of which were direct scores from Yiyang. The Mavericks aren't a giant team? Barkley instead thinks that the five people on the Mavericks are all giants! They may be tepid in normal times, but at critical moments, they can definitely stand up and contribute.

Wade just failed in the last game, but even stars like Jordan and Kobe Bryant have missed key shots.

Defending twice in a row, the Clippers actually did a good job, but they desperately tried to limit Yiyang, but Yiyang didn't attack at all, which made everyone on the Clippers very distressed.

Griffin wasn't going to sit back and wait, he decided to strike first!

After putting Paul under cover, Griffin didn't cut inside as he had done in previous seasons, but stayed in the mid-range.

Griffin's style of play has changed dramatically from what he used to be, and he used to be very fond of violent dunks, but now he is shooting more and more from mid-range. In the last game against the Kings, Griffin even made three three-pointers.

Since the Warriors' Death Five and the Mavericks' Big Four wreaked havoc across the league, NBA teams have placed more emphasis on the importance of space on offense. How does the space come from? Pull out with multiple players with projection ability. What if you don't have the ability to cast? Then make yourself projective!

As a result, Griffin began to make frequent jumpers outside the three-second zone. Sometimes, it's really efficient.

This time Nowitzki habitually shrunk the defense, but Paul sent the ball to Griffin with a clever pass, who shot steadily into the frame in the open space, and the Clippers came back to take the lead!

After the goal, Griffin raised his arms very loudly and celebrated the goal. In his opinion, he is already 1-0 ahead of Yiyang!

Yiyang scoffed at Griffin's behavior, if he didn't do something about it, he was afraid that this big guy would fly into the sky.

So in the next round, Yiyang finally stopped passing. Seeing Yiyang's breakthrough, all the Mavericks fans did not hesitate to offer their cheers. In the entire U.S. Route Center Arena, only Yiyang may have such an appeal.

Yiyang reached out and called Dirk to cover, and Paul tried to get around the pick-and-roll, but Dirk's cover quality was very high and didn't let Yiyang's previous No. 1 point guard succeed.

Griffin was forced to change his defense, and the situation instantly became a one-on-one between Griffin and Yiyang!

The whole arena is trembling, and everyone expects Yiyang to disgrace Griffin!

In the face of the fierce Griffin, Yiyang's dribbling is still easy. Just with Mike. Bibby's promise is the same, he makes Yiyang get as strong as possible without compromising his agility, shooting, and speed. In front of Griffin, Yiyang is still the "assassin" who is as light as a swallow.

Yiyang suddenly accelerated, intending to break through from in front of Griffin! But halfway through, Yiyang pulled back from his crotch and was ready to shoot!

Griffin's original backward center of gravity was immediately preceded, but Yiyang's retreat was just a feint to worship the Buddha, and when Griffin's center of gravity was all pressed forward, Yiyang accelerated through Griffin's body again!

Griffin forcibly changed his pace, but he stumbled on his feet, rolled over and fell!

"Also, he shook Blake down!" Barkley slapped the table and yelled.

Subsequently, Yiyang made a quick stop jump shot. Although Paul quickly came on guard, he still did not succeed in interfering.

If Griffin had known that Yiyang was the Mavericks' 10-second heads-up master, he probably wouldn't have chosen to go one-on-one with Yiyang.

That guy isn't qualified enough!

After the goal, looking at Griffin, who was still on the ground, Yiyang shrugged his shoulders. I'm just speeding up a little bit, and you can't keep up?

Tearing up the Dallas Mavericks is something like that, Paul might be able to, but Blake. Griffin? You'd better get down on the ground!
