Chapter 191: The Croat's debut

Yiyang and Wall's performance in the first quarter did not disappoint fans and commentators, and the duel between the two made this game that had no two points extremely exciting.

While fans want to see a head-to-head battle between two defenders, for Carlisle, victory is the only thing he craves. Now that the team is on a four-game winning streak, there's no reason for that momentum to be ended by the Washington Wizards.

Carlisle was naturally a big praise for Yiyang's performance in the first quarter of the game, but he couldn't do it all the time during the break. After glancing at the bench, Carlisle beckoned, and a tall player stood up and took off his training uniform. His move has ushered in the attention of countless photographers.

"The first quarter of the game was very impressive, and we saw not only the scoring battle between the two guards, but also the unusual playmaking skills of the two young men...... "Barkley was playing with Kenny. Smith chatted about Yiyang and Wall, but looked at the big screen at the scene, and this guy's voice stopped abruptly.

"Hey, Kenny, look at the Mavericks' bench!"

"What happened to the Mavericks' bench Charles?"

"Peja. Stojakovic, the legendary shooter is about to make his debut for the Dallas Mavericks in the second quarter! Although Peja's performance this season has not been satisfactory, he was once stuck in a no-ball situation after a round and round with the Hornets and Raptors. But as a legendary goalscorer, he has always been able to contribute to his team. In particular, in a team with a good system like the Mavericks, Peja's role may be greater than in other teams!

"Are you ready, boy? Happy working together! After taking off her training clothes, Peja smiled and stretched out her hand to Yiyang.

The two high-fived lightly, and the Croatian striker was a little excited. Because he can't wait for a long time, he wants to compete with a defender like Yiyang. After all, Yiyang's performance just now reminded this Croatian of that guy from the Hornets.

After the break, the Mavericks fielded Peja and Yiyang, and the other three were the same starters. And Philip. Sanders brought the Wizards' starting five back up, and Yi Jianlian, who performed remarkably in the first quarter, did not continue to stay on the court.

Although Nick. Young was there, but under Sanders's serious preaching at the interjuncture, the guy is now much more honest, not asking for the ball blindly, but patiently running according to tactics.

At the very least, this ensures that the Wizards' offense doesn't start out completely messed up. Wall walked to the three-point line and stopped, and instead of passing, he reached out and called for a pick-and-roll!

Lewis and Blatch both moved to the high post, and the Mavericks' restricted area defense was instantly emptied, and with Wall's speed, as long as the quality of this pick-and-roll strategy is excellent, he can easily attack the basket.

The two strong men blocked Yiyang's side on the left and the right, and Wal changed hands twice under his crotch, and suddenly changed direction in front of his body in a large arc, and stabbed towards Lewis!

Yiyang immediately changed his center of gravity and quickly moved sideways, skillfully bypassing the block and then chasing back. Nowitzki, meanwhile, is also on Wall's side, and if he doesn't delay the No. 1 pick's breakaway, the Mavericks won't have a chance to make up for it at his pace.

At this moment, Wall, who was advancing with the ball, suddenly slapped the basketball on his crotch. The orange basketball went through Wall's crotch and landed back into the hands of Lewis, who was standing outside the three-point line.

"Wonderful Biography! Wall has eyes on his back! ”

The fans of the American Route Center Arena even felt a little familiar when they saw this scene, blocking the ball after the breakthrough, isn't this the offensive method used by Yiyang and Nowitzki brilliantly? But now, it has been reproduced by Wall and Lewis.

Although Yiyang tried his best to pounce forward, Lewis's shot was so high that Yi** did not complete the effective interference. "Mr. 100 Million Yuan" hit a three-point shot steadily, and as soon as Wall came up, he used a wonderful pass to guide the Wizards to score three points!

"Obviously, the Wizards' offensive efficiency is much higher than that of the Nicks when Wall has the ball. Young with the ball. Maybe Young should change his style of play, otherwise we can't say whether the Wizards will choose to trade Young for the sake of Wall's growth. Barkley gave Wall an approving look, and at the same time, Yiyang had already taken the baseline ball and began to fight back. How would you respond? Brat.

Yiyang's advance is slow, and he is almost on the halfway line. Carlisle was standing on the sidelines with his hands on his chest, and Sanders was also standing on the sidelines, and unlike Carlisle, he had his hands in his pockets. Both managers seem to be in their own hands.

As soon as Yiyang's toes stepped on the three-point line, he immediately gave the ball out. People thought that he and Wall would have a wonderful singles duel, but after Yiyang quickly played the ball, the fans were disappointed.

Stevenson holds the ball and stands outside the three-point line, waiting for his teammates to run. Now, with the exception of Chandler and Stevenson, who is holding the ball, no Mavericks player is standing still.

Just when people thought that Stevens would eventually pass the ball to Yiyang, who was out of the line, the outside defender hoisted the ball high and gave it to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki had just received the ball on the edge of the three-second zone when the Wizards' bag came up! Sanders knows that whether it's Yi Jianlian or Lewis, there is simply no one on the Wizards team who can bring pressure to Nowitzki. The bag has become the only choice for this coach.

Nowitzki had just turned to shoot, only to find that Blatche was also pressing up with his arms raised. Suddenly, the Germans were under siege. He wiggles his body with the ball and tries not to let the opponent touch the basketball, but in this situation, the big man is still prone to mistakes.

At the last moment, Nowitzki caught a glimpse of Stojakovic, who was raising his hand to ask for the ball. The German rushed out the ball and the ball was passed a little high. But for Peja, who has excellent height and arm length in the number three position, the ball is just right.

Peja, who received the basketball at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, immediately pushed the ball straight into the restricted area before the Wizards players could react!

The camera follows the rapid movement of the basketball with the afterimage, and a "yellow lightning" rushes up from the bottom corner to meet the orange-red "shooting star".

Yiyang, who cut in along the bottom corner, received this just right pass, and easily made a layup under the stunned eyes of everyone!

"Ho! Peja's passing was as precise as a scalpel! This through ball from the top of the three-point arc cut straight through the Wizards' weak defense! "After Yiyang's successful hit, Kenny. Smith shouted excitedly, Peja, that guy, is completely a high point commander!

"Don't forget, the Croats were also a product of the Princeton system. In addition to his accurate three-point shooting, this guy is also very good at passing. With him on the court, the Mavericks' offense will be full of more possibilities! Barkley shook his head, Peja may be a useless veteran in other teams. But in Mavericks, this guy will shine again!

"Good run, boy. The next time you face an empty basket, just dunk it directly. Peja, who announced himself parachuted into Dallas with a stunning assist, stretched out his hand again to high-five Yiyang when he retreated, and this Tanhuaxiu's ability to read the game did not disappoint the Croatians!

Although the Mavericks are now only 4 points ahead, the momentum is completely different.

In the next round, Wall and Lewis repeated. But Dirk was not fooled again, and made up for it in time in front of "Mr. 100 million yuan".

Lewis had no choice but to hand the ball to Nick. Poplar. Nick. Yang hasn't touched the ball for a long time, and if he gets the ball again, how can he let this "baby" return to others.

Nick. Young started singles mode in front of Stevenson, but how could Stevenson, who is known for his defense, be ignored by Nick. Yang, a guy who is not very good at physical confrontation, succeeded?

With 24 seconds left to attack, Nick. After Yang broke through, he suddenly stepped back and made a jumper. But the experienced Stevenson didn't give the Wizards' "ball master" the slightest chance, and he jumped in time to block it, allowing Nick to block the ball. Young's shot ended with a bang.

"The King of Fighters" Tyson had just jumped up and was about to grab the board, but he noticed a force coming from behind. The old slippery head did not hesitate and threw himself forward exaggeratedly. The referee immediately blew the whistle and signaled for a foul on Bracch's rebound.

Taking advantage of this dead-ball opportunity, Sanders directly replaced Bradge, who made frequent mistakes on the defensive end, and replaced him with "Jumping Man" McGee.

Although McGee is not as good as Brazzy on the offensive end, he has little ability to attack on his own. But at least this guy is more reliable than Brackey in terms of rim protection and rebounding.

In the next round, the offensive rhythm led by Yiyang was still unhurried. He first played the ball to Nowitzki, but the Wizards' bag remained resolute.

Helplessly, the German had no choice but to hit the ball out again and give it to Yiyang, allowing the All-Star rookie to reorganize the offense.

Yiyang looked at the timer on the rebound, there was still a lot of time, so there was no need to rush. Yiyang raised his hand, and Nowitzki hurriedly raised his position. Both Lewis and Wall are nervous, and Yiyang is going to play against the Germans, which is the most difficult way for the Mavericks to defend an offensive launch!

Nowitzki's feet are just getting settling! Yiyang suddenly broke through! I have to admit that Wall's defense is really good, maybe even better than Yiyang! He used his strong body to stick to Yiyang, so that Yi** had no way to rush up to speed.

In the meantime, McGee has rushed back to the basket to wait. When the two sides played each other in the summer league, Yiyang had already tried how hot McGee's "jumping man" hot pot was, and even now, Yiyang was still afraid of it.

At the same time, Lewis had already raised his long arm in front of Nowitzki, sealing Yiyang's return route.

Yiyang jumped directly in three steps, and Wall and McGee also jumped forward and backward. It seems that Yiyang has been forced into a desperate situation.

Just as McGee's palm was about to hit the basketball, Yiyang suddenly pulled the ball down and stuffed the basketball out of the gap between McGee and Wall's bodies in the air.

The basketball came out of the cracks, but the target was not Nowitzki, but had just gotten rid of Trevor by running off the ball. Booker's Peja!

Peja took the ball and shot, and the Wizards' small forward Booker was also very active in his defense. However, the Croatian's blistering speed was able to complete the shot before the opponent could interfere. At this time, a person's name suddenly appeared in Yiyang's mind - Stephen. Curry.

The reason why Curry's three-point shooting is difficult to interfere with is because he shoots fast enough. And Peja's three-point shooting is very similar to Curry!

Peja didn't waste Yiyang's wonderful pass for himself, and this three-point shot went straight to the net, causing a "white wave".

Sanders suddenly found that replacing McGee to strengthen the Wizards' ability to protect the Wizards' restricted area didn't seem to have much effect. Because today's Mavericks can really shoot you to death by shooting! And that yellow-skinned guy in the No. 1 jersey can just send the ball to the arms of every shooter!

The appearance of Peja has made the Mavericks' tactics more likely. And this undoubtedly makes the Wizards, whose defense is already torn apart, even more powerless.

Although Wall is still trying, it seems that the Wizards will have a hard time competing with the Mavericks on their own.

By the end of the half, the Mavericks had kept the margin at eight. 47 to 55, if it weren't for Wall, the margin would definitely be in double digits.

Although the gap between the two teams has gradually widened, the performance of Yiyang and Wall is almost equal.

After 24 minutes of battle, the Wizards are far behind, but this is by no means the end. The taciturn Yiyang knew it in his heart, and Wall, who was standing on the sidelines frowning and being interviewed by reporters, was also clear.

As long as the two of them are not separated, this game will not be considered to be out of suspense.

The reunion between "old friends" is not over yet.
