Chapter 794: Best Defensive Player

Carlisle didn't expect that it would be himself who was the first to call for the game to be stopped, although Snyder was only a rookie coach, but many years of experience as an NCAA bishop and NBA assistant coach still made Snyder very calm when directing the game. When he was down by 8 points, he was still not in a hurry, and he let the Jazz players ease themselves.

Now that the score is levelised, Carlisle has to solve the problem of defending. The Jazz's offense is actually not complicated, and they play offensive tactics with very little space, which can be said to be incompatible with this era.

In this case, Carlisle asked everyone to shrink their defenses and change defenses indefinitely. The Jazz used aggressive running, passing, and covering to get their chances. The Mavericks used infinite defensive changes and shrinking the restricted area to contain the Jazz's offense.

"I'd rather let them shoot than let them break through! Especially Hayward, I don't care how you change your guard. In short, he must have at least one defender in front of him! Carlisle tapped the board, and he was amazed by Hayward's progress.

Although Hayward has performed well in the past few seasons, as long as he meets Iguodala or Toney. Allen, the white striker, is likely to be dumb.

But this year, through the few attacks just now, Carlisle found that Iguodala could no longer contain him! If you want to guard against a guy like Hayward, Iguodala alone may not be able to do it.

After the timeout, the Jazz players were still confident. Snyder, like Carlisle, gave his players an up-and-out defensive intensity.

This time, Wade's cut-in layup missed under Hayward's strong interference. Hayward's defense is now at the elite level!

The Jazz pushed back to the past, but Hayward made a pull-up jump shot outside the three-point line and chased down a three-point shot!

Wade didn't expect the white forward to be so bold, and when he lunged back, Hayward had already thrown the ball out.

Hayward's shots were pretty standard, and with little to no interference, he didn't waste scoring opportunities. The basketball went through the net, and after the timeout came back, the Jazz actually overtook by three points!

In the following round, Yiyang moved a ball back for the Mavericks. Defensively, Iguodala found Hayward again, and Wade went to defend Hood.

Seeing this, Hayward passed the ball back to Burks, motioning for him to reorganize the attack. This kid really looks like a leader now.

At the same time, Hood began to run aggressively off the ball. It seems that the Jazz are going to play Wade!

Wade's physical condition has indeed regressed a little this season, although he still has experience, but his finishing ability and athleticism have regressed significantly.

When following the Hood, "The Flash" seemed to have a hard time. But with his super will, he still gritted his teeth and stuck to the other party.

At this moment, Favors turned sideways and completely blocked Wade. Hood received the basketball and shot directly!

When Wade pounced again, he couldn't interfere anymore. Not only did Hood shoot quickly, but he also had a height advantage, and Wade's only a ceremonial extension didn't make any difference.

Basketball hollow into the net, Utah Jazz lead Mavericks by 3 points on the road! After a few rounds of timeout, the Mavericks didn't take advantage of it!

"Incredible Snyder, Incredible Snar. So far this season, I've never seen any team other than the Golden State Warriors who can advance or retreat here! Not even the Clippers and the Rockets can do it! ”

"The Jazz have done a fantastic job both offensively and defensively, so let's keep watching, maybe we're going to get an upset today!"

Reggie. Miller and Chris. Webber was already excited, and this game, which was originally not too suspenseful, is now getting more and more interesting.

The Jazz have kept the Mavericks pressing, and on the defensive end, they have worked extremely hard. On the offensive end, they were always able to find weaknesses.

Although Yiyang didn't let Berks open that point, Hood, Hayward and Favors all played with ease.

Gobert hated himself for making two fouls early, and although Jeffrey was positive, the limitations of hard power prevented him from forging a gate in the three-second zone like Gobert.

Fortunately, the excellent play of Yiyang and Delong allowed the defending champion to save face, and he did not fall behind too much after the first quarter. 28-24, at the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks were rarely in a backward position!

"Damn, it's all my fault!" At the end of the break, Wade was very reluctant to smash the sweaty towel to the ground.

This season, Wade has been feeling very clearly inadequate. Sometimes your brain knows what to do, but your body just can't react! There is also the ability to finish in the confrontation, which has also declined significantly. Several layups in the confrontation between Wade and Hayward ended in failure. If it had been last season, Wade would have scored at least a few more.

"It's not anyone's fault that you're lagging behind, Dwayne. Otherwise, in the second quarter, Andre and I went to defend Hayward and Hood. Dwayne, you see dead Burks, it's best not to let him play easily. As long as Burks can't pass the ball in time, Hood and Hayward will quickly drain their stamina from too many off-ball runs. Before Carlisle could speak, Yiyang proposed his own idea.

In fact, what Yiyang just said is what Carlisle is about to say.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'm optimistic about that rookie!" Wademore shook his fists, and he didn't want to let his teammates down again.

After saying that, everyone looked at Carlisle, ready to hear what the manager had to say.

Carlisle just shrugged his shoulders, "I'm done before I can get the pen and the tactical board, I'll try to be faster next time, boss." ”

Carlisle joked with the players in the tone of an assistant coach, and the players burst into laughter, and the atmosphere on the Mavericks' bench eased a lot.

In fact, it is very common for the players to arrange the tactics during the timeout. During the Lakers' two-game winning streak, Phil. Jackson is a "Buddhist" coach. Many times when the game was suspended, the "Zen Master" sat in place with his hands crossed, didn't say anything, and waited for Kobe Bryant to take the tactical board and toss it by himself. James that's not to mention from Larry. Brown to the present David. Blatter, their tactical decisions ultimately have to be up to James.

And some others, such as Fischer, Nash, Kidd and others, also often picked up the tactical board to play guest roles as head coaches when they were still not retired.

So if he was robbed of what the player wanted to say, Carlisle would not feel embarrassed. This kind of thing happens from time to time in the NBA. As long as he can win, Carlisle won't worry so much about Yiyang.

The intermission is always very short, and before the smoke has completely cleared, the war between the Jazz and the Mavericks has started again.

Since the first quarter of the game was a basketball won by Gobert, the Jazz took the lead in the second quarter.

Burks had barely taken the ball past half of the court when he realized something was wrong. At this time, it was not Yiyang who was standing in front of him, but Wade!

Wade's defense didn't make it easy for Burks in the slightest, and it would have been difficult to defend Hood and Hayward Wade. But defending Burks, Wade is still at ease.

What's more, Wade, who doesn't want the team to fall into passivity because of himself, is now defending very seriously. As Yiyang expected, Burks struggled to even get a passing gap.

At this point, Hood and Hayward played a no-ball block. Iguodala was blocked by Hood, Yiyang did not hesitate, immediately changed his guard, and chased after Hayward!

Hayward went outside the three-point line, and Burks finally threw away the "hot potato" of the Spalding card. When the white forward received the ball and turned to face the basket, Yiyang stuck to it without giving an inch!

"Is it finally here!?" Hayward was not afraid, even a little excited. It seems that today, he and Yiyang will inevitably fight!

Hayward took a step back, then accelerated towards Yiyang's left hand, he planned to use his strong body to carry Yiyang to break through!

Yiyang reacted quickly and immediately took a sideways step, blocking Hayward's way. But under the crush of Hayward's strong body, Yiyang still retreated. Although Yiyang has become much stronger this season, he has not yet become perverted to the point of being able to carry a striker.

Hayward slowly approached the basket, but was severely blocked. Just as he was about to get up and get to the basket, Yiyang slapped it and cleanly cut off the basketball in Hayward's arms!

"Damn it!" Hayward thinks he's already very good at protecting the ball, but he still can't defend against it! Yiyang is the player with the highest steal value in the latest NBA2K game!

Yiyang grabbed the basketball, and then made a long pass directly to the backcourt! In front, the "Flash", who was holding back his strength, was already firing at full power and rushed towards the basket.

The aggrieved Wade ignored Burks, who was chasing behind him, and directly dunked after receiving a long pass!

Reggie. Miller was stunned, and at that moment, Wade seemed to break the shackles of time, leaving young Burks with a gloomy face. Never, try to underestimate the energy of a superstar, even at the end of his career.

"Beautiful fast break, from defense to counterattack, the Mavericks did it perfectly. It seems that the break just now has made the defending champion adjust! ”

After letting go of the hoop and landing on the ground, Wade pointed at Yiyang as a token of gratitude. Yiyang nodded slightly, and then put a hand against Hayward's waist.

"Is this your tactic?" Hayward smiled and let the point guard defend the front, which the Mavericks may only have the capital to do in this league.

"I'm sorry Gordon, today, I can't let you score easily!"

"Don't think I'm Damien. Lillard, there's no way you're going to keep a clean sheet on me! With that, Hayward started another round of running.

Yiyang is very dead, and Hayward doesn't know that in the first two games, Paul and Harden were under Yiyang's defense, and their shooting rates were very dismal, neither of which exceeded 30%. His defense is no longer simply described by the word "good".

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "best defensive player" level!

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Yiyang just by running, Hayward needed the help of cover.

But Yiyang was always able to quickly bypass the cover and re-stick it.

In the end, it was Hood who stopped Yiyang, allowing Hayward, who was out of his pocket, to get a little space to catch the ball. Hayward received the basketball and was about to shoot, but Iguodala made up for it!

Seeing this, Hayward didn't hesitate to hit the ball to Hood. Just like just playing Wade, Hood uses his height to shoot, no matter how he says, he has a chance!

Hood wanted to take a step and then make a jump shot after holding the ball, but he was wrong and he was wrong about not dribbling this step.

After Hood, who is 2.03 meters tall, racketed the ball down, the basketball did not bounce back into his hands. Yiyang sprinted and grabbed the basketball for two consecutive rounds!

This time, Yiyang rushed to the front by himself. Hayward was desperately chasing after him, and he didn't want to see the Mavericks get such an easy chance to score on the counter-attack.

However, in the air, Yiyang avoided Hayward's block with a change of hands, and successfully scored a layup to close the difference.

Hayward and Hood both failed at Yiyang's feet, and their magical performance in the first quarter was gone.

However, what caused all this was just a simple transposition.

Traditionally, point guards are basically unable to defend strong forwards. But if this point guard plays to the level of the best defensive player, it may not be.
