11-0, even the calm Popovich can no longer turn a blind eye to this score. Today, the Spurs are not just a matter of luck, Yiyang's all-out state is the main reason why they are now behind by a big score.

In the last game, the Spurs players implemented man-to-man defense, so that Yiyang's passing skills had nowhere to play. Today, both Carlisle and Yiyang were very smart to tackle the attack in a matter of seconds. If it were placed in normal times, Yiyang would definitely not be passed on like just now. But now in this special period, Yiyang will not hesitate to play the ball as long as he sees that his teammates have a chance. In doing so, it really made the Mavericks achieve unexpected good results.

"On the offensive end, be cautious and don't make any more mistakes! The Mavericks' defense wasn't really tight, just because they were too aggressive! If he dares to steal, don't attack reluctantly, give me a chance to make a decision! This is the ATT Center, guys, go on the field and give me those guys from Dallas! "Popovich is definitely a well-spoken coach, and now he can't control his words.

But Popovich's foul language didn't put pressure on the Spurs players, but instead gave them a lot of power. Over the years, Spurs players have long been accustomed to Popovich's style of doing things. If you don't listen to the old man's occasional yelling, the Spurs players may feel bored.

"Kehuai!" Just when everyone thought Popovich's arrangement was over, he stopped Leonard.

Leonard turned his head, still with the same calm expression on his face.

"Play a little more aggressively! It doesn't matter, you can make a little more shots today. Popovich mysteriously leaned into Leonard's ear and whispered, and the Spurs' "facial paralysis" small forward nodded lightly and entered at the same time as his teammates.

The 11-0 margin was impressive, and Spurs fans went from being extremely confident at the beginning to being very nervous now. Even O'Neal, a living treasure, was silent for a long time, and seeing the Spurs behind, it was really difficult for him to joke unscrupulously anymore.

On the contrary, Sir Barkley came back to his senses and was as excited as he was on the podium. With an 11-0 offensive climax at the beginning, the morale of the Spurs players is destined to be greatly reduced. Barkley was looking forward to the moment when Yiyang completely controlled the game, and if all went well today, Barkley was even willing to pay out of his own pocket to prepare the right size flag for O'Neal.

But the Spurs have always been the Spurs, and after Popovich's guidance, they finally got off to a tough start with Duncan's inside hook. The Spurs scored, but it was four minutes before the game began.

It took the San Antonio Spurs to open the scoring just four minutes into the game. This time, the Spurs passed the ball very much. I think this was deliberately arranged by Popovich in order to get rid of Yiyang's defensive threat. ”

Duncan's goal temporarily stopped the bleeding for the Spurs, who were full of wounds, but it was not a palliative cure after all. One or two successful goals won't change anything, and what the Spurs need now is a wave of offensive climaxes.

In order to play an offensive climax, two conditions must be met at the same time. First, limit the opponent's score, make the opponent's attack blocked, or even keep a clean sheet against the opponent. The second is to ensure the success rate of their own attacks. Even if a round of offense is not successful, the momentum is likely to be cut off.

Just now, the Spurs have completed an excellent offense. So now, all they have to do is defend.

The Spurs were more backward in the offensive formation, and they quickly returned to the defense after the offense, completely giving up the scramble for rebounds in the front court. Although this will deprive them of the opportunity to attack a second time, it will also prevent the possibility of Yiyang launching a surprise attack to the greatest extent.

"The Spurs were quick to drop back and didn't leave any gaps for the Mavericks at all. They are going to play positional battles, and they are going to grind with the Mavericks one ball at a time. Do we have to go back to relying on singles to keep the team on points? ”

In the last round, Yiyang relied on Kaman's sudden cut to complete the assist. But since then, Split has been inseparable from Carman. The Spurs defended very tightly and switched defenses very quickly. Even off-ball pick-and-rolls can't afford to open space for the Mavericks' players.

Yiyang didn't stick to the ball, but passed it to old Carter after observing the situation for a while. Carter attacks with the ball from beyond the three-point line, which is not a threat to the Spurs at all. To be precise, except for Yiyang and Nowitzki, no one else with the ball can pose a threat to the Spurs.

Seeing that he couldn't get the space to shoot, Carter Sr. passed the ball to Marion again. Marion's opponent is Leonard, a "gibbon" known for his defense, and he naturally won't give Marion any space. Marion now doesn't want to be holding the ball and making moves, if he dares to put the ball in front of his body, he may be tackled.

"The Spurs were very successful defensively, and the Mavericks seemed to be contained."

Barkley didn't pick up Kenny. Smith's words, he stared anxiously at the court, quickly think of a way, think of a way, quickly think of a way......

The ball was passed around but did not find a chance, and finally returned to Yiyang's hands. Yiyang took a step back and motioned for everyone to pull away. Parker swallowed, this guy is going to single?

Without waiting for Parker to get ready, Yiyang kicked the ground with his right foot, causing him to "catapult" in front of Parker in an instant.

Parker subconsciously reached out to stop it, but only felt a gust of wind blowing through the hairs on his arm. What the hell are that guy's legs made of!?

Parker was broken through and the Spurs had to make up for it. Of course, he can also choose to watch Yiyang go to the basket easily. But there's no doubt that no one does. Split took the initiative to drop Carman and defend to the basket. Even if Yiyang does pass the ball to Kaman, the German center forward with mediocre offensive ability may not be able to score.

The Spurs' defense looked seamless, and they were sure to close the gap before the end of the first quarter! However, Yiyang neither passed nor made a layup this time. In the face of Split's supplementary defense, Yiyang, who had just stepped into the three-second zone, threw the ball to the basket.

Watching the basketball fall into the net past the fingertips of the big players, the fans in the center opened their mouths wide, the Spurs' defense had done this, and it still didn't work!

"The Spurs' dream of playing an offensive climax is gone, Toney's 'engine' is not as good as it was then, and now it's hard for him to catch up with Yi, who is speeding around the basketball court."

"Coach Popovich just took out the other four guys on the Mavericks, but as long as they don't fix it, the Mavericks' offense won't stop!"

The commentators were cheering for Yiyang's brilliant breakthrough and beautiful throw, while Popovich sighed cross-legged. But what can he do as a coach? Do you want to close a few trades while you're on pause?

A lot of times, the manager really can't do anything about certain situations on the pitch. The Spurs' defense can only be perfected by the players themselves.

The defensive end was blocked, but the Spurs did not perform well on the offensive end. As long as Yiyang can't grab the basketball, the Spurs are sure to get the ball where it should go. This time, Leonard's mid-distance helped the team to renew the score. But as I just said, the Spurs can't chase back after such a point-by-point chase.

Yiyang's footsteps continued, just now he used a throw to solve the attack, but this time, Yiyang did not break through.

As soon as his toes touched the three-point line, Yiyang stopped. This time, let Parker Yiyang pass the ball!

Yiyang wants this effect, seeing that Parker is focusing on the ball, Yiyang stops suddenly, and Parker is overtaken again.

"God, Tony was like a sieve today. He can't do anything about it, maybe Coach Popovich should change someone to defend him. ”

Do you think Popovich doesn't want to? But who can he replace to defend Yiyang? Ginobili? Gary. Neil or Corey. Joseph? Whoever these guys are, they don't necessarily do better than Parker.

In this way, Yiyang once again entered the forbidden area. Leonard hesitated for a moment, did not make up the defense, but stuck in front of Marion. Danny. Green was a little shaken, but he decided to watch Carter die.

Duncan and Split both shrank to the basket, and the experienced Duncan seemed to have found the perfect position. This time, you'll be given a ride while standing!

Yiyang is not afraid of the double encirclement of Duncan and Split, he jumps bravely, as if he wants to go straight to the basket!

Duncan immediately raised his arms and jumped about 30 centimeters high. The bounce height may seem ridiculous, but for a guy like Duncan, who relies on position, experience, and smell to complete the block, the bounce is simply not a must.

Duncan's long arm is on top of Yiyang, and Yiyang has nowhere to escape. Either they will act indiscriminately, or they will be blocked by Duncan. Either of these two options, Yiyang seems destined to fail.

Therefore, this Chinese, who always loves to fight against fate, chose the third way, passing!

I saw Yiyang put down his raised arm and put the basketball back in the air. Then, from Duncan's waist, the ball was handed to Nowitzki, who was behind the "Stone Buddha"!

People are amazed by Yiyang's magical ability to find people in chaotic hand-to-hand combat, in fact, Yiyang was optimistic about the position of his teammates long before he jumped!

Nowitzki received the basketball that was stuffed out by Yiyang, and at the same time Duncan landed and turned around to make up for Dirk!

Nowitzki tossed the ball before Duncan could jump. Although this is not the usual offensive move of a big man, Nowitzki's extremely soft touch still makes the basketball hollow fall into the net!

"The ball is in! The bars of San Antonio can't hide the power of Yi! The fourth assist of the game, and also used their excellent performance to keep them in the pressure on the Spurs! ”

"I said I would get two pairs today, Shaq. Look, the first quarter of the game is not over, and four assists have already been distributed! Today, I also found a perfect balance between individual attack and team attack. ”

In the face of Barkley's praise of Yiyang, O'Neill had nothing to say. Yiyang's performance today was so perfect that it even overshadowed the entire Spurs. But thankfully, this was only the first quarter of the game, and the Spurs had time to change that.

At the end of the first quarter, Popovich and Carlisle both switched to the rotation, and the anxiety finally eased.

But as soon as the second quarter of the game began, the suffocating rhythm of the game immediately surrounded the entire arena, and no one wanted to escape.

As soon as he came up, Yiyang confused the Spurs with a fake pass. He made a pass to Collison on the right, but with a flick of his wrist he passed the ball to the left.

There, Yi Jianlian, who is always overlooked, made a mid-range vacant shot. Duncan's compensatory defense did not interfere with Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian scored two points, and Yiyang's assists continued to rise! In the future, Yi Jianlian can also pat his chest and say to others: "I am also the one who scored the ball on Duncan's head." ”

Yi Jianlian's mid-range hit was just a warm-up, and 20 seconds later, Yiyang suddenly made a cameo in the No. 2 position. The Chinese defender was running all over the field, making it difficult for Ginobili to defend him. In the end, Yiyang used a flexible reverse run to retreat outside the three-point line and received a pass from Collisson.

If it had been two seasons ago, Ginobili wouldn't have had to worry about Yiyang's shot from outside the three-point line. But now, that hairy boy is already an MVP......

The hand rises and falls, and Yiyang's three-point shot is accurate. The double-digit margin remains, and the Spurs are overwhelmed.

Subsequently, although the Spurs relied on Leonard's wonderful dunk to boost their morale. But just 20 seconds after the dunk performance, Yiyang made Duncan foul with a speedy layup and got a chance to hit three points!

Seeing Yiyang in such a state today, O'Neill couldn't help but gasp. Once an MVP-level player is in full form, they can be above any system and tactics!

Is he so unlucky, but he ran into a Yiyang who is in full swing?

Physical, that's the only straw for Popovich and O'Neill right now. The Mavericks started the game so hard, even at the expense of pressing defense in the half court to contain the Spurs' offense, which did not allow for a reasonable distribution of physical energy.

Now, O'Neal and Popovich, two hard-pressed old guys, can only pray that the Mavericks will be self-vaga in the second half of the game due to fitness issues.

Will the Mavericks make it to the end? Carlisle is also not clear. The reason why he arranged it this way as soon as he came up was indeed a bit desperate. If you go back to Dallas with a 2-0 aggregate scoreline, it will be in vain to leave more energy behind.

Carlisle is also extremely worried about the Mavericks' performance after that. But as long as Yiyang is there, Carlisle believes that there is still hope for everything.

This guy is our star player!
