Chapter 148: Monta or Curry
Tyson. Chandler's injury has undoubtedly caused a lot of problems for the Mavericks' defense, and if it weren't for Chandler's kick at the beginning, the Mavericks would not have been able to lead the Warriors by just one point.
Although the substitutes Petro and Masimi performed remarkably, their ability to protect the frame naturally cannot be compared with the "King of Fighters". The breakthrough of Curry and Ellis made the two backup centers suffer. And it turns out that playing against the Warriors doesn't seem to be the best option for the Mavericks.
"Jason, Yi, at the beginning of the second quarter, I'm going to have both of you on the court at the same time. Jason, blocking Curry's shot. Also, Monta. Ellis is over to you. Strangled the two defenders to score as far as Darrell did. White, this guy's hit rate is not to be feared, don't spend too much energy on him. Others, quick to assist. As long as we strangle Curry and Ellis, we will win this game! 'Carlisle is a very defensive-minded manager and even when Chandler wasn't around, he decided that the team had to start defensively. Otherwise, if you fight the Warriors to the end, you really don't know who will lose and who will win. But as long as the defensive intensity comes up, the Warriors' two guards who are not very stable on offense may not be able to play their best.
After listening to Carlisle's arrangement, Yiyang turned his head to look at the bench at the other end of the court. Monta. Ellis, that's a much hotter guy than Curry.
Under Kuban's massage, Yiyang spent the entire interjunctive break. When Yiyang got up and went on the court, Cuban also waved his fist at Yiyang like an ordinary fan.
Yiyang didn't know what kind of expression to use to respond to his boss, but what could be more satisfying than putting on a performance on the basketball court?
The second quarter began, and the Warriors attacked first. Ellis saw that the person in front of him had become a rookie like Yiyang, and his blood boiled instantly. Curry had just passed half time when the guy raised his hand for the ball.
This unruly guy got his wish to get the pass from the "little brother" Curry, and then with a little smile on his face, he began to change hands left and right in front of Yiyang in a large arc.
Monta. The reason why Ellis wants to play Yiyang alone is not because he thinks Yiyang's defense is poor, he just wants to play with Yiyang. Even if Kobe Bryant is standing in front of him now, he will bravely hold the ball, and then use his explosive style of play to break through all obstacles!
"Click!" Monta's big arc changed hands left and right suddenly stopped, no one knew what tactics this guy was going to play, and the Warriors players just knew to open up space for him.
This skinny defender puts away his smile and starts quickly!
"The explosive power of terror!" Mike. Brin though disagrees with Monta. Ellis's style of play, but I also have to sigh for this guy's terrifying explosiveness.
"Kill him!" Ellis thought to himself, then took three steps to prepare to attack the frame. Just as this guy was about to lift the ball above his head with both hands, Ellis felt that something slammed the basketball and let it completely out of his control!
Ellis, who had already taken off in the air, looked down and saw that the ball had been cut off by Yiyang's fast hand! Ellis was a little surprised that he had always played like this in the NBA, but there were very few people who could cut the basketball out of his hands. How did this rookie in front of him do it?
Yiyang has actually been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and players like Ellis who like to be reckless are the most likely to be careless. When they take three steps to the basket, it is the time when the flaws are the greatest and the vigilance is the lowest!
After cutting away the basketball, Yiyang hurried to the ball and let the old Kidd organize to advance. At the same time, Yiyang, who has no ball in his hand, can also run with all his strength like crazy.
The Warriors' retreat was quick, but it was also chaotic, and it didn't jam the Mavericks' players' path. Seeing this, Kidd, who had just crossed the halfway line, threw the ball directly into the air, and the photographer on the scene immediately shook the camera and tried to keep up with the speed of the ball.
The basketball spun and flew quickly towards the basket, and a yellow "lightning" quickly jumped in, and then jumped high. The height of the No. 1 defender's jump was terrifying, making people even wonder if there was an invisible spring pad where Yiyang jumped.
The Chinese, who was not tall and not strong, "tossed" himself into the air like this, and then happened to receive a pass from old Kidd and pressed it into the frame with both hands!
“alley-oop! From Yi and Jason. Kidd's aerial coordination, hahaha, this group of air connection combinations between defenders and defenders is really unexpectedly exciting! Under the passionate shouts of the commentators, Cuban jumped from his seat with joy as the rest of the fans, and the chubby boss still shook his fat body and writhed.
"Well done, I knew you could handle everything!" When Yiyang returned to his own half and stood ready to defend, Cuban also shouted at the rookie he selected on the court.
Scored a goal by Yiyang in such a beautiful way, Monta. Naturally, a guy like Ellis is very unwilling.
This time Ellis didn't give Curry a chance, he directly took the baseline ball and pushed it himself. You don't have to look at it to know that the Warriors' leading guard is going to play alone again!
Shake, accelerate, stop, mid-shot. When shooting, Ellis did not avoid Yiyang's interference, but leaned forward slightly, very aggressive. The net is flooded with white waves, and the basketball hollows into the net. This time, instead of attacking the basket, Ellis completed the shot in a simple way to bite the score for the Warriors.
Although he conceded the goal, Carlisle off the field was not worried about Yiyang's defense at all. Because of the pull-up jump shot just now, Ellis threw the ball in under Yiyang's interference. That skinny defender can't score the ball in such a situation every time!
", this can all go in!" Yiyang said to himself in his heart, fighting against this guy is really more straightforward than playing with Curry!
If it was on the street court, Yiyang would definitely have a good time with such an unruly fighter. But this is the NBA, and the team's victory is above all the elements.
In the next round, Ellis, who was loosely accustomed to being loose on the defensive end, got serious, and he was bound to make Yiyang look good. However, this time the offensive ball did not go through Yiyang's hand at all, and the old Kidd's wonderful pass and Yiyang and others helped Nowitzki gain space to play alone in the low post.
Faced with a defense without a bag, the German easily hooked a shot, and David. Lee had tried his best, but there was still nothing he could do.
"Stinky boy, let's come here and see how boring they are playing. If you don't fight, I'm welcome! Ellis saw that Yiyang didn't even touch the ball this time, so he smiled and said this to Yiyang. But Ellis's smile didn't make Yiyang feel friendly at all.
This time, Curry lost possession of the ball again. And Ellis didn't continue to fight alone with Yiyang, he called David. Li blocks and dismantles himself, hoping to get rid of Yiyang with the help of blocking and his own speed.
Yiyang was defeated by Curry and David in the first quarter of the game. Lee's fake pick-and-roll was deceived, and this time, he didn't rush to bypass the block, but carefully observed Ellis's pace. God knows if Monta will learn Curry's style of play and repeat it.
One, two...... The basketball bounced nimbly back and forth in Ellis's hands. Suddenly, Ellis's hand on the dribble became very hard, and just like the last time, Ellis always slapped the ball harder before breaking through.
Seeing that Ellis was about to break through from the side with the block, Nowitzki did not hesitate, immediately changed the defense, implemented Carlisle's defensive strategy, and saw those two guards die!
Yiyang immediately chased back after bypassing the block, but fortunately, Nowitzki delayed Ellis's breakthrough for himself, otherwise Yiyang might have been thrown away in one fell swoop.
Watching Nowitzki and Yiyang both follow Ellis to shrink the basket, David in the mid-to-long range position. Lee immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball. But alas, Ellis simply ignored his teammates.
I saw this impactful guard leaning on Nowitzki and went straight to the basket, Nowitzki's nickname of "soft egg" spread inside and outside the league, and a guard like Ellis was not afraid of the Germans' defense at all.
It's true that Nowitzki didn't get to the rhythm of Ellis, and it was almost impossible to complete the block. But behind Ellis, the No. 1 guard jumped high without reservation, ready to give Ellis a chase from behind!
"Dwayne. Can it be successful!? "Seeing this, Mike. Bryn couldn't help but shout out Dwayne again. Also the name.
Ellis used his spare eyes to catch a glimpse of Yiyang jumping high, and he didn't dare to take any chances, so he retracted the ball down, dodging Yiyang's block, and letting the tanhuaxiu pounce.
But by the time Ellis skated some distance to dodge the block and then made another layup, he was already flying directly underneath the basketball. At this point, the guy has no room for a layup.
Ellis had no choice but to throw the ball up. The basketball slammed into the underside of the basket, and although Yiyang couldn't complete the block, Ellis was also forced by Yiyang to not score.
Nowitzki reached out and received the basketball. The Warriors came back in vain, and the Mavericks pressed back!
This time, Nowitzki passed the ball directly to Yiyang, hoping that Yiyang would use his speed to lead the counterattack.
Yiyang quickly advanced with the ball on the right side of the court, while Marion cut to the basket from the other side.
The Warriors' defense was actually fast, but as before, the positioning was not rigorous. Yiyang looked up, and a straight route to the basket immediately formed in front of his eyes.
Everyone thought that Yiyang was going to pass the ball, because in this kind of rapid advance and the defenders in front of him were basically in position, Yiyang mostly used the pass to tear apart the opponent's defense.
Yiyang quickly ran in front of Ellis, and suddenly slowed down a little. The Warriors players let out a big sigh of relief, and sure enough, they were going to pass the ball.
However, Yiyang did not pass the ball, and the center of gravity of his upper body swayed like this, so that the center of gravity of Ellis, who was not focused, also wavered.
Seeing that the center of gravity of the skinny defender changed, Yiyang stopped shaking and suddenly stabbed to Ellis's right hand!
Ellis, who didn't have time to adjust his center of gravity, tried his best to move sideways, but he still couldn't stop the "lightning" from passing through him.
"Superb upper body feints, and this guy's whole body is a play!" Yiyang's breakthrough made the commentary seat already shout.
Warriors center Biedrins clearly didn't expect Yiyang to break through on his own, and he was so successful and so fast. He hurriedly made up for the defense, but Yiyang's speed still made it too late for the Latvian to act.
Seeing Yiyang jump to the basket, Biderins had no choice but to pull it with his arm. This is not serious, not only failed to prevent Yiyang from scoring, but also gave Yiyang a chance to play three points!
"Fuck, idiot!" Warriors coach Keith. Smart buried his head in his hands in disappointment, Bidrins' behavior was a little incomprehensible to him.
This time, Ellis looked directly at Yiyang, but didn't speak again. The rapid shaking of Yiyang's upper body just now is not so realistic for any three-legged cat.
Ellis realized that although Yiyang is a kid who loves to pass the ball more, his offensive ability doesn't seem to be bad at all!
Yiyang confidently stood on the free throw line, and Cuban immediately stopped at the fans in front of the high audience. Mavericks fans quickly understood the fat boss's thoughts, and one by one they shut their mouths to create a quiet free throw environment for Yiyang without any interference.
"Knock, knock." Yiyang took the ball and slapped it twice on the ground, and in the entire American Route Center Arena, there was only the sound of basketball and hardwood floor colliding.
After that, Yiyang took the ball and spun it around in the palm of his hand. Hold the ball in both hands, bend your knees, shoot, shoot.
"Brush!"
"Boom!" Quiet scene, instant explosion!
"Also, the three-point shot was successful. In and Monta. In the duel of Ellis, this defender did not suffer at all! It seems that the Warriors' backcourt double-gunned met a guy who was more horizontal than them today! "Mike. Brin rubbed his palms excitedly, the game was getting more and more interesting.
Yiyang immediately retreated and opened his arms. Whether it's Monta, or Curry. Today, I'm going to win my 10th straight at home!
