Chapter 312: Rainy Night
When the Heat lost a game at home, they could only put their expectations on the Dallas game, hoping to make the overall score 2-0. Regaining the lead and taking the series initiative is something the Big Three have always wanted.
However, the third game of the finals ended, and the score became 2-1. It's just that unlike what people imagined, it was the Dallas Mavericks who won two games, and the Heat, who got off to a good start at the beginning of the series, lost their lead and were in a backward position!
The Big Three stay on the court, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that they lost for no reason.
Charles with technical statistics in his hand. Barkley doesn't think so, and the Heat have a good reason to lose this game. And this reason is precisely due to two of the Big Three.
"Chris. Bosh scored 18 points on 38 percent shooting, and LeBron Brown scored 18 points on shooting. James scored just 17 points on 6-of-14 shooting. The Mavericks did an excellent job on the defensive end, especially against James, which was almost perfect. As long as LeBron bursts inside with the ball, he will always be caught in the middle of the game. And Chris, this guy is completely defeated at the feet of Dirk! ”
Charles. Barkley had just finished speaking when his partner Kenny. Smith took over the say.
"Compared with the Big Three, Yihe Dirk has truly achieved an excellent chemical reaction of 1+1 greater than 2. Dirk had 34 points and 11 rebounds in the game, and he had three more blocks today. Dirk's performance in this series is simply dominant, especially in key moments, this guy always scores consecutive goals, which is very scary. Of course, Dirk's scoring and assists are always inseparable. 17 points and 10 assists, and once again controlled the game with his passes. Today not only gave Dirk a lot of opportunities, but also activated the whole team. I guess, not just in the rookie range. There aren't many defenders in the league who can do it better than him! ”
In the midst of the two commentators, the Mavericks players were running wildly on the court, cheering and hugging each other. They've taken the lead against the Heat's Big Three, and that's really exciting.
The media swarmed in like flies circling around a cream cake. They surrounded the Mavericks players, and cameras, cameras, and microphones reached forward.
It's not just Yiyang and Nowitzki, almost all of the Mavericks players today are favored by the media. All the people are soldiers, and the whole team is a star. Everybody will be a topic of conversation.
Instead of being interviewed by reporters, Yiyang walked to the sidelines and came to Stevens and Hayward.
"You've done a fantastic job, boy!" Stevens stepped directly out of the stands and rushed onto the pitch to hug Yiyang.
Hayward in the back was a lot shy, but he still high-fived Yiyang intimately as he did in college.
"How does it feel to be in the finals?" Hayward looked at the crazy atmosphere and the crowd set off by the fans, and couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart.
"If you try LeBron's elbow, maybe you won't be full of hope for it." Yiyang said, pointing to the corner of his brow that was still with a band-aid.
"The next time someone fouls you like that, you've got to put pressure on the referee! Otherwise, your opponent will only go too far! After Stevens said this, he felt as if he had become Yiyang's coach again. At this moment, it seems that he is leading Yiyang and the Mavericks to play in the finals.
At that moment, Stevens felt as if his head had been electrocuted, and his body couldn't help but tremble. It turns out that the feeling of calling the shots to players in the NBA is so different.
"Yi, let's go back!" On the other side, Carlisle shouted at Yiyang in the distance and beckoned. This made Stevens come back to his senses, and he was no longer Yiyang's coach.
But the experience just now made a sprout begin to take root in Stevens's brain. Perhaps, I can also get a job in the NBA?
"I'll go first, and we'll be in touch after the press conference!" Yiyang made a phone call gesture to Stevens and Hayward, then trotted to keep up with the team and walk into the players' tunnel.
"Isn't it particularly envious?" When Yiyang walked away, Stevens turned his head to look at Hayward.
Hayward didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
"I wish we could have this day."
"We?" Hayward looked at his college coach in surprise and saw Stevens smile meaningfully......
Yiyang may not know that his performance in the finals has not only affected the O'Brien Cup. There are two guys who are eager to try and want to follow in his footsteps and carve out a world of their own in the NBA.

The post-match press conference was also polarized.
When the Heat players were interviewed, the entire media room was dead. James and Wade didn't smile, and Bosh didn't even come to participate.
And when the Mavericks start their press conference, you can often hear laughter coming from the media reception room. Everyone was very happy when he won the game, and Cardinal, who doesn't usually show much of his face, showed his talent in front of reporters...... Sense of humor.
"Walking down the streets of Dallas, a lot of people mistake me for a grocery store boy or a seventh-grade teacher. Treat me like an NBA player? There aren't many of them. But what can you do? If I could have more hair, I don't know if I would have looked more like an NBA player. ”
Cardinal's words naturally drew laughter from reporters, and from now on, fans across Dallas will remember him. Although they are unknown, although they are not big stars who fly away. But they still silently dedicate themselves to the team. When the team needs them, they will stand up without hesitation.
"Brian had a big impact on me because he taught me how to defend well in the Finals. I'm very grateful to him, he's definitely been an integral part of the dressing room. Subsequently, Yiyang told the reporters about Cardinal's teaching of defense.
At this moment, the reporters were stunned one by one. It turns out that the water cooler administrator who is so funny still has such a big role. How tight Yiyang's defense is, that is obvious to everyone. If all of what Yiyang said is true, then it is not surprising that Cardinal was able to see Bosh as difficult to do in his limited playing time today.
What is it like for the players in this great team in the dressing room and on the training pitch? Journalists are full of boundless interest in this issue.
Although they won the game, everyone was very happy. But in the locker room, everyone fell silent again. 2-1 is only a temporary lead, and the Mavericks are still a long way from the O'Brien Cup. Put away that joy and keep trying. In this way, they will win real honors.
After the game, everyone was tired, so they usually went back to their respective homes. Especially during the Finals, no one dared to bet on the O'Brien Cup and get rid of the night.
Instead of going straight home, Yiyang took Vignarie to a café with Stevens and Hayward to chat.
Seeing such a European beauty sitting next to Yiyang's wooden bump, Hayward, a little otaku, looked straight in his eyes. At the beginning, he and Yiyang trained and lived together, and the two were basketball in addition to basketball. Why now, people even have girlfriends, but as an NBA player, they don't even have a rumored girlfriend.
Just as everyone was chatting happily, outside the window, it suddenly began to rain heavily.
The mood of the girls is bad, and the heavy rain in summer is also coming.
The road was washed clean by a huge stream of water, and the leaves of the trees fell in the breeze, becoming the embellishment of the heavy rain.
"It seems that even God doesn't want us to leave too soon." Stevens spread his hands, and everyone didn't bring umbrellas, so they had to wait for the rain to stop before leaving.
"It just so happens that I have no intention of leaving." Yiyang smiled, with old friends, no matter how long they spend together, it will not be too much.

"Damn the rain outside!" Carlisle walked into the house and patted his rain-soaked suit. As soon as this guy got out of the taxi, it suddenly started to rain heavily. Fortunately, Carlisle was on his doorstep at this time, and he was not too badly drenched.
"Take off your coat quickly, this rain will definitely cool down again at night. Don't wear wet clothes to avoid catching a cold. Carlyle's wife hurried up to meet her and took off her coat for her husband.
The rain came very suddenly and without warning. I don't know how many people in Dallas City today have been reduced to soup chickens. Luckily, the game ended early today and the players didn't get caught in the rain. If you get the flu during the finals, you're in trouble.
Thinking of this, Carlisle shook his head vigorously. At this time, you should hope for something good. People don't often say that they are afraid of anything. That kid is going to go out and have a little party with friends today, and now the weather is suddenly so cold, what if he really says it?
In the evening, I watched the game video at home for a while. It was only when the clock hand pointed to 1 that Carlisle felt sleepy.
He moved his cervical spine, which was sore from sitting for a long time, closed the computer, and was about to go back to his room to sleep. Just then, Carlisle's cell phone rang.
Carlisle hurriedly picked it up and checked, he was worried that Yiyang really had some problems outside. However, when I picked up my phone, I found that it was not Yiyang who sent the text message, but Dirk.
"Boss, I just accidentally got wet outside, and now, I seem to have a fever."
This simple sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and it split Carlisle's newly relaxed heart again.
"!" Carlisle yelled and raised his middle finger at the sky outside the window.
