Chapter 445: Fighting Demonic Beasts

While people are interested in Steve. Nash's defense didn't hold out any hopes, but Yiyang's easy scoring still far exceeded expectations. After all, in the Lakers' lineup, there are towers like Gasol and Howard. On the outside line, there is also Kobe, a gate that can be defended at any time.

However, Yiyang is no longer a rookie who can be stopped by casually making up defenses, and after his wonderful performance last season, Yiyang is now a veritable star of the Mavericks. Perhaps in terms of team status, Yiyang is not as good as Nowitzki. But in terms of the tactical status and contribution of the actual game, Yiyang has surpassed Dirk to sit on the top spot. Simple supplemental defense may be difficult to work for Yiyang.

"It's like tearing paper and easily breaking through the Lakers' defense, and we won't comment on Steve's performance on the defensive end. But the speed of other people's defense is inevitably too slow. The Lakers are facing yes, not some unfamous hairy boy. Seeing the Lakers lose points so quickly, Barkley shook his head. This summer, when the Lakers announced that they were forming an F4 roster, Barkley, who opposed the huddle, was the most scolded.

These people may be really famous, but basketball is not a simple game where 1+1 is destined to equal 2. Most people want to see how the Lakers will perform today, but Barkley wants to see how the Lakers will lose!

"Cheer up, the game has just begun!" Bryant clapped his hands and motioned for everyone not to be discouraged. No matter how powerful Yiyang is, he doesn't have three heads and six arms!

With Bryant's encouragement, the Lakers' offense began to get on track. Howard hit a layup straight away from Karman after receiving the basketball inside, and "The Monster" took his dominance to the three-second zone of the Staples Center.

After an attack, Bryant hit the ball into Howard's hands again. Although Carman has an advantage in height, his strength and athleticism are a big cut behind Howard. Howard held the ball and shook his shoulders to confuse Carman, then used a beautiful turn to get past the bulky German center in one step and dunk it with ease.

At this point, Howard has scored 4 consecutive points for the Lakers, and all the fans are cheering, this is simply a 2.0 version of the "OK combination".

After Howard finished the attack, Kobe Bryant turned on his scoring mode again. Kobe Bryant may really want to prove himself in front of fans all over the world today, he is in excellent form, and he can't be seen as a 34-year-old veteran at all.

Howard ravaged the basket, and the Lakers' No. 24 shot with a burst shot, plus Gasol's two mid-range shots. These three men scored the Lakers' first 17 points.

The Lakers' offense played very beautifully, and Mike. Brown spent the summer training the Lakers according to Princeton's system. As it stands, the players are executing well.

The excited fans couldn't help but look up at the big screen at the scene, but after seeing the scores of the two teams, everyone was dumbfounded.

17-15, the Los Angeles Lakers, who played smoothly on the offensive end, were only 2 points ahead of the Mavericks! The Mavericks withstood the pressure and held on under the ferocious offense of the Big Four.

At this time, the Mavericks re-attacked, and Yiyang advanced with the ball. This point guard, who is raising his hand and shouting orders, is exactly why the Mavericks are still clinging to the score now!

"He's really the kind of player who can make his teammates better! Can you imagine? Elton. Brand has already hit two goals over Gasol's head! Gasol's breakaway shot left Gasol with no choice, and once he stepped up, Brand could get a mid-range shot. In a sense, Brand did a good job of what was supposed to belong to Dirk! "Ross Barkley wasn't surprised by the very close scoreline. People only see how wonderful the Lakers' Big Four play, but ignore Yiyang, who also performs well!

This time, Yiyang did not call for blocking, but easily broke through Nash with a sudden acceleration of the change of direction.

Nash's lateral reaction speed was not fast, and he was pushed away by Yiyang when he was fighting physically, which was completely defeated.

Seeing that Yiyang once again entered the three-second zone, Gasol hesitated. Supplemental defense? Brandon had already hit two goals in a row from the same position. Don't make up for it? The inner line is simply the opening of the portal. At this time, Howard was still entangled with the experienced Carman, and God knows if he could get to Yiyang in time to complete the block.

At this moment, "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant seemed to see his prey, he concentrated, showed his fangs, and pounced on Yiyang.

Seeing Kobe Bryant chasing Yiyang, Gasol immediately pressed Brand and did not give Yiyang any chance to pass. But this time, Yiyang's pass was not aimed at Brand. That guy may have been waiting impatiently......

I saw Yiyang, who rushed into the penalty area, pass the ball in the air without looking at people, and sent the ball to the empty Mayo.

Mayo only signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Mavericks this season, which is far from what he imagined. Next year, with a player option in his own right, he can decide whether or not to continue with the Mavericks' contract.

Therefore, Mayo also hopes to earn the first big contract of his career through a season of excellent performance. Every opportunity he gets with the Mavericks, he has to take it!

Mayo shoots unhurriedly, and the movements are very standard. By the time Bryant pounced with a surprised expression, Mayo had already thrown the ball.

The basketball spun wildly in the air and then, unbiasedly, fell right into the net!

"Haha, do you see!? That's what I want them to do. The combination with Mayo has great potential! Kuban, who was at home in Dallas, threw his arms up in the air and cheered at the TV screen.

The Mavericks' three-pointer made the Staples Center instantly quiet for a few seconds. They couldn't believe that the Mavericks, who had lost Nowitzki and Terry, could play back and forth with the Lakers Big Four.

At the end of the first quarter, if Gasol hadn't insisted on playing and playing well, the current luxury Lakers Big Four might have become the underdog.

29-25, the Lakers took the lead. But this process is not worrying at all.

At the break, Carlisle applauded the players who came off the break. Although there are always problems in training, today, the Mavericks played really well.

O.J. Mayo is finally showing some talent, and Darren Collison seems to be better off as a substitute for Yiyang than last season's aging Kidd. And Yiyang itself, the state is needless to say. With eight points and four assists on 4-of-4 shooting in a single game, he did a good job of explaining why the Lakers and Kobe Bryant agreed to hire him that past summer.

After watching a quarter of the game, Carlisle also had some new ideas. Once all the players were seated, Carlisle sat down with a small bench in front of the tall players.

"In the first quarter, we did a decent job of shooting from beyond the three-point line. The rest of the game continued in the second quarter, but I hope you can go to the basket a lot in the rest of the game! Carlisle drew a straight line on the board and pointed straight to the basket. After hearing this, the players were dumbfounded.

The Lakers have Dwight. Howard, a super center, guards the basket and asks Yiyang to impact the inside, isn't that self-defeating?

Yiyang also glanced at Carlisle in some dismay, and Carlisle smiled disapprovingly. "Howard was a little too excited on the defensive end today, and your purpose in attacking the basket was simple, to make a foul!"

Carlisle knew that only Yiyang could do the job. The others were killing themselves by lunging under Howard's basket. Yiyang, on the other hand, can use Howard's overly excited handle to break the deadlock!

After listening to Carlisle, O.J. Mayo seemed to be eager to try. While his mission is to continue to focus on shooting and scoring from the outside, Mayo doesn't care what kind of way he's playing as long as he can show himself.

Under Carlisle's arrangement, the Mavericks' starting five Tigers continued to play after the intermission! As soon as he came up this time, Mayo raised his arms high and rushed to Yiyang to ask for the ball.

Yiyang didn't think much about it, and handed the ball to Mayo after halftime. Bryant deliberately put some space in defense of Mayo to prevent the once founding cornerstone of the Grizzlies from rushing to speed.

The word airtight to describe the world in Mayo's eyes at this time is simply too appropriate.

As far as he could see, there were all Lakers players in gold jerseys in front of him, and the way to the basket was simply blocked by defenders.

At this moment, Yiyang's voice burst into Mayo's ears. Mayo was just thinking about how to go it alone, so he didn't care about his teammates' movements. The follower turned his head at a shout, and Mayo found that Yiyang had gotten rid of Nash and started to dismantle it under the basket.

Although Mayo would love to score on his own, he has to admit that Yiyang's chances are better. So, this 24-year-old young man flicked his wrist and turned his throw into a pass!

Yiyang received the basketball, and there were also many players wearing golden jerseys in front of him. But unlike Mayo, Yiyang didn't think about anything superfluous, but plunged straight in!

"You've been here too often, stinky boy!" Howard roared and jumped high for his block debut in Staples.

However, Yiyang bowed his waist with extremely dexterous movements in the air, and the lever dodged Howard's block.

When he "floated" past Howard, he used his abs to stretch his body again. After that, it's as simple as putting the ball in the hoop and everything will be perfect.

Just when Yiyang's fingertips were about to pull the basketball out, he suddenly felt his back being pulled violently, and his whole head tilted down and fell to the ground!

"Dwight's pulling moves are very bad! It's just the first game of the regular season, how can he do that!? Barkley spread his hands in surprise, Howard wasn't as rough as he is when it comes to magic.

Seeing this scene, Carlisle and Mike. Brin held his head. Carlisle held his head in his hands because he was worried about Yiyang's health. And Mike. Brown held his head in his hands because the game only reached the second quarter. Howard has already accumulated three fouls!

Yiyang, who fell to the ground, stood up strongly, didn't talk to anyone, and walked directly to the free throw line.

And Howard was replaced by Mike. Brown replaced, in order to save the power for the last,

One of the Lakers' legs has now been crippled by the Mavericks, and next, Yiyang's dismemberment of the host may be even more bloody.
