Chapter 746: The confrontation of the two guards

Shervin. Mark clenched his fists, this fellow brother of Yiyang may be able to fight each other with a muscular point guard like Bledsoe, but he is afraid of this kind of small and fast guy. Little Thomas's realistic feints and lightning-fast speed suddenly make Mark lose his temper.

Carlisle didn't expect Thomas Jr. to be so knowledgeable about beating Mark, and he thought that a strong Mark would put more pressure on Thomas Jr.

With that free throw, Thomas Jr. has allowed the Celtics to score six points in a row so far, and the Mavericks' advantage in the first quarter of the game was instantly swept away by Thomas Jr.

Stevens' tactics of opening up space for Thomas Jr. are really bold. But as the saying goes, wealth is in danger. Now, aren't the Celtics paying off?

Subsequently, Shervin. Mark began to organize the offensive. When the ball passed to Iguodala, Evan Brown. Turner makes a steal. But Turner's timing and precision were clearly not good, and he didn't even touch the basketball, but hit the back of Iguodala's hand solidly.

The referee blew the whistle and Turner fouled. Hearing the referee's whistle, Yiyang rushed onto the court with one arrow step.

"I'm sorry man, you should have rested a little longer." Mark walked towards Yiyang, shaking his head helplessly as he walked.

"No, you've done your best. It's okay, go down and relax. Yiyang patted Mark's buttocks, then glanced at little Thomas.

"Listen, I don't want to see him score easily anymore!" Before going on the field, the task assigned by Carlisle was still lingering in Yiyang's mind.

Since you're so powerful today, let's kill it with real knives and guns!

Yiyang's first attack after coming on the court, he showed a strong aggressiveness. This time, Yiyang did not miss the opportunity to break through Thomas Jr. He borrowed Gobert's high-quality blocking and demolition into the penalty area, and Olynyk saw that the defense was hopeless, so he directly grabbed one of Yiyang's arms.

Yiyang hurriedly threw the basketball to the basket, and then fell hard. But the ball that was thrown in a hurry jumped three or five times on the basket and then fell into the net!

โ€œhat๏ผ๏ผŸโ€ Mike. Brin clasped his head in his hands. "Just now, I didn't even get ready to shoot!"

Olynyk was also obviously confused, he deliberately fouled to prevent Yiyang from scoring. Well, now the score was not stopped, and a penalty was given.

"Almost, boy, keep up the good work!" Yiyang stood up and smiled sarcastically at Olynyk.

Yiyang is not the kind of person who will take the initiative to provoke, but just now he could clearly feel that Olynyk did not need to exert force. It's okay to deliberately foul someone, but it's not a good habit to deliberately throw people out. To put it bluntly, Yiyang feels that this Canadian center is not playing cleanly. And Yiyang has never had a bad attitude towards people who play uncleanly.

Stevens sighed, now, even a deliberate foul can't stop him from scoring?

As soon as he got on the court, Yiyang returned Thomas Jr. to a three-point shot. But Celtics fans aren't gloomy, and they know that on the offensive end, Thomas Jr. can make up for it!

The four shooters pulled away from beyond the three-point line, and there was a complete vacuum inside the three-point line, creating a hotbed for Thomas Jr.'s breakthrough. The Celtics' tactics were the same as they had just been, and they scored six straight points and there was no reason to change tactics.

One of the Celtics' job is to help Thomas Jr. attack, and they have at least four players who can shoot threes on the floor at the same time. As long as Thomas Jr. can get past his perimeter defenders, he'll put a lot of pressure on the opposition's interior.

But the focus of this tactic is not really about the four who can shoot threes, but whether Thomas Jr. can pass his defenders!

Thomas Jr. is particularly good at playing rhythm, and his quick stops and stops have made countless defenders in the league shaken by him so that they can't tell the difference. But Yiyang himself is also a defender who relies on quick stops, so he can judge Mark's rhythm changes more accurately.

Thomas Jr. slowed down after approaching Yiyang, but Yiyang's nerves did not slow down, he knew that Thomas Jr. was just trying to confuse the defenders.

Sure enough, in the next second, Thomas suddenly accelerated and changed direction. If Mark or someone else was defending him, his breakthrough would have worked! It's a pity that in front of him at this time is Yiyang, who has been selected as the best defensive team for two consecutive years!

Yiyang quickly moved sideways and completely blocked Little Thomas's breakthrough route! As soon as Thomas Jr. is stopped, the whole tactic is nullified!

"Damn." Stevens gritted his teeth, and sure enough, the current little Thomas still couldn't pass Yiyang smoothly.

Seeing this, Olynyk and Jerebko immediately came up to cover Thomas Jr., but this time when Thomas Jr. bypassed Yiyang by blocking and dismantling, Wade also made up for it in time.

Before the Celtics could shoot, the offense was already a failure.

Subsequently, Olynyk asked for the ball on the inside to single Gobert. But his forced layup was ridiculously crooked, and he almost couldn't even touch the basket.

The Canadian didn't eat Gobert's big risk, and he was already thankful.

The Celtics quickly stepped back and almost gave up the scramble for rebounds in the frontcourt. After Yiyang came on the court, the defensive pressure on the opponent was also completely different.

However, even in a positional battle, this lineup of the Celtics does not have any advantages. Wade shook off Bradley with a reverse run and quickly cut inside, and Yiyang directly passed the basketball over Thomas Jr. and sent it directly to Wade.

Wade drew Evan after scoring to the basket. Turner's supplemental defense, however, "The Flash" did not harden, but calmed down.

Iguodala hit a shot in the bottom left corner and hit a solid three-pointer. Although this goal was not directly assisted by Yiyang, his calm command and organization single-handedly created the goal.

scored 6 points in a row, and after Yiyang came on the court, he did the same thing as Thomas Jr. The Celtics had just gained momentum before they were ruthlessly suppressed by Yiyang.

Little Thomas took a breath, Yiyang, this guy is indeed not simple. It's no wonder that even a competitive person like Kobe Bryant is full of praise for Yiyang, and only by personally fighting him can you know how terrible he really is.

Defensively, offensively, and organized, Yiyang has few obvious shortcomings on the court. With such a man leading the Dallas Mavericks, it's no surprise that they have a chance to hit an all-time record of 73 wins.

Yiyang wants to hit his 73 wins, and Thomas Jr. also wants to lead the team to sixth in the East. Even now that the odds have started to turn against Celtic, he has no intention of giving up.

There's still something in little Thomas's arsenal!

This time, the Celtics didn't continue the four-man pull away to let Thomas Jr. break through on his own. High cover, this is the most basic and efficient tactic of the Celtics. Now, they have decided to go back to square one.

Thomas Jr., who has broken through the box through cover, now has only two options, pass or layup. But no matter which one you choose, it seems that the chances are not good.

Passing, no space. Layup, still no space. But little Thomas still didn't hesitate, but jumped directly, straightened his arms, and threw his hand!

No, Thomas Jr. is not so much a throw, but rather a hook.

That's the benefit of left-handers, left-handed players tend to be harder to defend, and Thomas Jr. makes good use of that. He dribbles to put pressure on defenders, then jumps off as he approaches the basket with a small left-handed jump hook. This kind of attack is almost impossible to stop.

The basketball hollows into the net and the North Shore Gardens are rejuvenated.

"Interesting, this guy has a lot of offensive methods!" Carlisle looked at Thomas Jr. with interest, it was not unreasonable for such a short height to gain a foothold in the NBA.

But in response to Thomas Jr.'s small jump hook, Yiyang responded after being scored four points, that is, to block Thomas Jr.'s left side in advance.

Because little Thomas, who is left-handed, can only use his left hand to complete the jump hook action if he breaks through from the left.

Defend with your brain, and the scary is here. As long as he suffers a loss or two, Yiyang can immediately come up with a solution.

In the case that Yiyang blocked the left side of Thomas Jr. in advance, his jump hook couldn't be used. The Celtics' offense came to a brief halt again until Thomas Jr. pulled out a brand new weapon from his arsenal.

Using the basket to cover the layup is Thomas Jr.'s new approach. In this regard, Carey. Owen and Yiyang are both masters, and they will not choose regular layups, but use the basket to protect themselves. Trick the opponent with feints, as if shooting on one side of the basket, but switch to the other side in the air and use the basket to separate the ball from the defender. To put it more bluntly, it is to do some lever or change hands in the air, and use the gap in the basket to avoid blocking.

Thomas Jr. took advantage of this trick to kill back again, scoring consecutive points under the block of Yiyang and Gobert.

Off the field, even Carlisle couldn't help but want to applaud. Yiyang and Little Thomas, these two guys saw the game of dismantling the moves, which was really exciting!

Thomas Jr. is suppressed by Yiyang, and he will come up with new ways to score. And Yiyang is scored, and he will come up with a new way to deal with Thomas Jr.

Two point guards with high ball intelligence think about their own progress on the court, making Stevens and Carlisle both "idlers". Of course, it also makes the excitement of the game high.

However, the best way to deal with this trick is not to eat and shake. Don't rush to block in the air, wait for the opponent to really have the intention of making a layup, and then wave your arms.

At the end of the second quarter, when Thomas Jr. made two consecutive pull-up layups and was flown out by Yiyang Fan, he knew that this trick didn't work!

What else should I do!? Little Thomas's mind was racing. He rummaged through his arsenal and found that all the lethal weapons had been used on Yiyang.

After that, Thomas Jr. fell into deep despair. Because he found that he could no longer think of any good way to deal with Yiyang.

In the last two minutes of the game, Yiyang led the Mavericks to a 7-0 offensive wave with a clean sheet against Thomas Jr., and widened the gap to 11 points before the end of the half.

With a double-digit point difference, that's not good news for the Celtics. Moreover, it was still when Thomas Jr. was out of recruitment.

Both point guards played well in the second quarter, and their matchup could be described as one of the best guard matchups of the season.

But unfortunately, the game is not only to be exciting, but also to distinguish the winner and loser. Moreover, there can only be one winner.

At halftime, Thomas Jr. chipped in 15 points and five assists, which is undoubtedly quite an impressive result. But what to do in the second half? Thomas Jr. had no clue.

On the Mavericks' side, Yiyang frowned, as if he was reluctant to leave the court. What about the second half? It's completely under Yiyang's control!

Just one and a half years later, Stevens knew that the Celtics' chances were running out in this game. In the middle of the game, Yiyang forced out one of the strongest little Thomas. But in the second half of the game, when Yiyang could still be stronger, Thomas Jr. couldn't go up.

The offensive quality of the Celtics depends entirely on the offensive quality of Thomas Jr. It's not that other people can't score, it's that other people's scores don't make the difference in the game.

Looking at the down-and-out little Thomas, Mike. Brin felt a little sorry. You're a great point guard, and you deserve to win the honor and the win.

It's a pity that you've run into a terrifying opponent at a historic level...... ()
