Protecting rebounds, those four words may not take more than a few seconds to come out of the head coach's mouth. But it's not easy for players to execute well.

After the timeout came back, after Yiyang came on the court, the Mavericks took the lead in attacking. At this point, everyone in the 76ers has become more focused from the inside out, and the rookie point guard's ability on the offensive end has been well known across the league, and if anyone still despises him now, it must be that person's head has been caught in the locker room door.

Holiday complied with head coach Collins' request, and as soon as Yiyang crossed the halfway line, he waved his arms and pressed on.

Holiday is also 1.93 meters tall, and when he raises his arms high, Yiyang's passing vision will indeed be greatly disturbed.

Seeing that the point guards on both sides were entangled near the halfcourt line, even Reggie on the commentary stand. Miller sweated for Yiyang.

But Yiyang doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, because the 76ers' seemingly airtight defense has already appeared a loophole.

Yiyang saw the opportunity, suddenly started his hand, and pushed the basketball out hard.

Holiday only saw the orange basketball coming towards him, and he subconsciously raised his hand to prepare for a steal, but Yiyang's ball passed quickly, and Holiday didn't have time to react at all. He's not a superhero, and he can't do anything like catching a bullet with his bare hands.

Rubbing Holiday on his scalp, the basketball flew straight into the penalty area. This sudden pass left many people unreactive, but unlike Nowitzki, who is full of tacit understanding.

Just when people were still speculating about who the pass was for, the German suddenly appeared in the middle, received the basketball with both hands, and directly attacked the basket in three steps!

It turned out that the 76ers started power forward Elton. Brand had just been shaken off by Nowitzki with a counterrun. This fleeting opportunity, not only did not escape Yiyang's eyes, Yiyang also used a wonderful pass to send the basketball firmly to Nowitzki, who got the opportunity.

After receiving the basketball, Nowitzki was empty in front of him. He took two big steps, stretched out his arms, and gently fed the basketball to the basket.

Two-time All-Star Mark and 76ers center Spencer Brown. Both of them tried their best to jump and block, but the layup was too sudden, and no one on the inside of the two rims could cover the basketball while jumping back. The basketball eventually fell into the net, and the Mavericks trailed by less than 30 seconds before taking the lead!

As soon as he got on the court, he helped the Mavericks break the deadlock with a very beautiful through pass. It's really a deadly pass, and all the passing routes seem so obvious in Yi's eyes! ”

Holiday reluctantly ran to the baseline to catch the ball, this time he didn't lose his position in defense, if the same situation happened to Holiday just now, he really didn't dare to pass that kind of ball. But the Chinese not only dared, but also succeeded.

"Get the ball up and don't get caught up in singles!" After Holiday controlled the ball and passed half court, 76ers coach Collins also began yelling on the sidelines early. You can see how strong the 76ers' desire to win is now. You know, the game hasn't even finished the first quarter now.

In fact, even if Collins didn't warn him, Holiday would have gotten the ball moving. This guy isn't the kind of defender who takes scoring as his primary goal. Yiyang had just opened his arms when Holiday threw the ball at Iguodala.

Peja, who defended Iguodala, obviously suffered in footwork, and Iguodala was not polite today, leaning on Peja with a strong body and faster steps to enter the penalty area.

At this moment, the 76ers' two interior players, Brand and Hawes, one pulled to the middle distance, and the other went directly outside the three-point line. The basket is completely empty, and Peja wants to defend successfully, and he has to rely on himself!

While neither speed nor physicality is dominant, Pejana's height rivals that of the number four and allows him to play on the defensive end.

Iguodala burst into the three-second zone and went straight to the basket, and if it was a normal No. 3 player defending him right now, Iguodala might have scored. But when Peja stretched out his arms and jumped up to block, the extremely high defensive range still forced Iguodala to change the arc of his layup.

However, as soon as this arc changed, an accident happened. I saw Iguodala go to the basket across Peja, and the basketball "struggled" past Peja's fingertips. But because the arc was too high, he couldn't fall into the net accurately, but knocked to the edge of the basket and bounced out.

At this time, the four elders on both sides are on the outside. The competition for rebounds is bound to become extremely fierce.

Holiday , Peja, Iguodala and Meeks jumped at the same time, and just when these hands were stretched out towards the basketball, Yiyang's palm was suddenly higher than everyone else, and he was the first to catch the rebound!

landed in the crowd, and Yiyang immediately held the basketball in his arms. The other 76ers players saw that there was no chance to steal, so they had to retreat unwillingly.

"His bounce and his clever mind can eat all the rebounds if he plays center!" Kidd saw Yiyang pull up the rebound ball high to protect it, and couldn't help but smile at Carlisle on the side.

"He doesn't play center, he can eat all the rebounds." As everyone knows, Carlisle's confidence in Yiyang is more than Kidd's.

After grabbing the rebound, Yiyang controlled the ball and advanced, but he did not take advantage of the weakness to speed up, but gestured unhurriedly and waited for his teammates to settle down.

A good point guard, even if he can't score, can still threaten the opponent's defense. The current Yiyang has obviously achieved this.

As soon as the young No. 1 guard touched the three-point line with his toes, he asked Chandler for a pick-and-roll. "The King of Fighters" Tyson mentioned a high cover, and Yiyang also followed up to cover the breakthrough.

Seeing Yiyang attacking with a pick-and-roll, Collins was not afraid at all. For Yiyang, he has long arranged the strategy of infinite change of defense. Even if this guy passes Holiday away, another player will come up and stop him.

It seems that everything is fine. The problem is that the 76ers' spatial No. 5 is Spencer. Hawes, his athleticism doesn't support him.

After passing the block, Hoyce had just changed to himself when Yiyang suddenly got up!

Yiyang is not only fast after rushing, but also very fast at starting that step. Hawes dragged his bulky pace and tried to move sideways, but he was still half a step slower.

Yiyang made a sudden stop jump after overtaking, and it looked like he was going to score with his own emergency stop jump shot.

But Yiyang didn't shoot after jumping, but threw the ball lightly.

Yiyang's breakaway grabbed Hawes's full attention, so much so that Chandler cut into the basket from behind him without even knowing it.

The basketball was tossed high by Yiyang, and Chandler cut inside again. What will happen next, and can there still be suspense?

"Boxing King" Tyson comfortably grabbed the basketball in the air, stretched his body, and then exerted himself!

When Hoyce turned his head in surprise, Chandler just finished dunking and the basket shook.

“alley-oop！！！！！！ Wonderful passing from the original! A simple block and dismantling made a wonderful show. The 76ers' defense can't just focus on people, because they can also use the other four teammates as their offensive weapons! "Reggie. Miller was taken aback by Chandler's powerful dunk, and it looked like the 76ers' defense didn't seem to have holes, but Yiyang was able to put on such a wonderful performance.

2 assists, Yiyang has contributed 2 assists not long after he came on the field. 76ers coach Collins is a little helpless, he can't ask players to correctly judge Yiyang's passing route every time.

Hawes reluctantly picked up the basketball, and the Mavericks had just too many offensive options. Even if you list all the possibilities, you won't be able to prevent them all.

In the ensuing attack, Holiday decided to single Yiyang and put pressure on the offensive end.

Although he is both 1.93 meters tall, Holiday does not have as good an arm span as Yiyang. When Yiyang stretched out his arms in front of Holiday with his arms outstretched, the black defender felt that he was not facing Yiyang, but a wide wall!

Yiyang was smart and didn't use pressing defense like Holiday did, but let Holiday take a few steps.

It can be seen that this guy has already studied the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents. Despite his excellent organizational skills, Holiday has also averaged 14 points per game this season. But actually, as a guard, this guy's shooting is very erratic.

Let go and don't let go, this is Yiyang's strategy today!

Seeing that there was no chance, Holiday passed the ball out, hoping to get rid of the Chinese by running.

If you can't beat Yiyang with the ball, without the ball, can Holiday beat Yiyang? From beginning to end, Holiday seems to be followed by a yellow "ghost".

When you think there is no threat, you turn your head and find that the Chinese wearing the No. 1 jersey is still behind you.

Unable to get rid of Yiyang means that Holiday has lost the possibility of receiving the ball again. Originally, Collins hoped that Holiday would restrain Yiyang, but for now, his proud weapon was first restrained by Yiyang.

The 76ers' tactics could not be executed, but the minutes were passing. Meeks had no choice but to force a shot before the end of the 24-second offensive time.

As a result, the 76ers lost another chance to continue the score.

This shot Meeks shot a little harder, so it was a long rebound. The four interior players scrambled under the basket, but only clicked on the basketball.

Basketball is starting to jump to the outside, and the 76ers are hoping to take advantage of this secondary offensive opportunity.

But it's a pity that Yiyang's desire for rebounding today is higher than usual.

Meeks, Holiday and Yiyang grabbed together, and Yiyang couldn't guarantee that he would be able to pick up the basketball steadily, so he didn't grab the ball when he jumped to grab the rebound, but flicked the basketball out hard!

The ball was flicked by Yiyang and flew towards the 76ers halfcourt. Yiyang, who changed the trajectory of basketball with his own hands, naturally reacted faster, and after landing, he quickly turned around and chased the basketball.

Holiday and Yiyang straightened their arms at the same time, but Yiyang was still a step faster, controlled the basketball, and advanced quickly!

Meeks and Holiday followed behind Yiyang left and right, and Yiyang quickly scanned the surroundings and there was no suitable passing route. This goal, I must score against the pursuit of two people!

In the blink of an eye, the three guards were running into the three-second zone at a gallop. Yiyang had no choice and was directly strong.

Holiday and Meeks also struggled to block, but after being in the air, the two found themselves one step away from the basketball.

Yiyang relied on his bounce and reach advantage to successfully dodge the block. But just as he was about to dunk the ball into the basket, Meeks' arm stretched out to reach the basketball inadvertently pressed Yiyang.

Yiyang's center of gravity was lost in an instant, but his arms were still reaching for the basket. When Yiyang dunked the ball with his arm hanging from the basket, his torso was already staggered by Meeks.

As soon as Yiyang's fingers were sent, the whole person fell on the hardwood floor.

Meeks immediately raised his hand to signal that he had fouled, he didn't mean to do it, there was no need to make a big deal out of it. The referee also immediately blew the whistle, signaling that Yiyang had a chance to hit a three-pointer.

Kidd Sr. stood up abruptly and applauded Yiyang's tough dunk.

2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 points. Another triathlon defender like Kidd has put a dead end on Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center.
