Chapter 562: Who's the Number One?

Yiyang scored 53 points, and the Mavericks crushed the Spurs by a huge margin of 25 points. In this turnaround battle that ended three consecutive defeats, Yiyang and Mavericks played very beautifully.

In an interview with reporters after the game, Popovich shook his head at the camera. "What else can I do? Yi's hand is so hot, is it possible that I need to complete a few transactions during the pause time to deal with Yiyang? ”

For the loss to the Mavericks, the old man can be described as very angry. He's angry not just because of the loss, but because the Spurs' dominance in last season's Western Conference Finals seems to be gone. He is really worried that if he meets the Mavericks again in the Western Conference Finals this year, the outcome will most likely be completely different from last season.

The old man knows very well what the Spurs' defense will be this year, and their goal is to get revenge on James in the Finals. But Yiyang was able to score 53 points under such a defense, and the strength of this Chinese guard is simply not to be underestimated.

The day after the game, the San Antonio Post still published an article by "Black" Yiyang. They called Yiyang just a coward who relied on "performance" to get high scores, pointing to Yiyang's repeated deliberate fouls in the game to send him to the free throw line.

However, no one ever bought that newspaper anymore. The San Antonio Post's sales showed an expected drop in sales, as their views simply didn't hold up in the face of a 53-point score.

Yiyang scored a total of 9 points yesterday by relying on free throws, but even if those 9 points are removed, 44 points in a single game is still a very terrifying statistic. The San Antonio Post's black spots are not convincing, and even local fans don't buy it.

Therefore, don't take Yiyang under the knife. Many facts have proved that standing on the opposite side of Yiyang, you may be able to gain temporary benefits, but in the end you will definitely fall into the abyss.

The drop in sales was enough to give the newspaper owner a headache, and then Adidas also publicly satirized the Post's funny article on its official Twitter, which undoubtedly made the newspaper's prospects worse.

Adidas' influence is not comparable to that of a mere local post. So far, the "San Antonio Post" has become a well-known laughing stock in basketball circles under the "publicity" of Adidas. San Antonio's fans, on the other hand, saw the Post as a disgrace to them.

It seems that this newspaper's behavior of relying on "black" Yiyang to attract money can only end here.

The victory over the Spurs, the end of a three-game losing streak, the 53-point performance in a single game to break the doubts of poor form, and put the San Antonio Post on the brink of collapse overnight...... In just one night, Yiyang changed his and the Mavericks' poor recent situation. It seems that San Antonio is really a great place to be famous. Of course, you have to have the quality to beat the Spurs.

After defeating the Spurs, the Mavericks, who were back on track, took the league by storm again. On December 18, Yiyang scored 28 points and 14 assists, Nowitzki scored 20 points, and the Mavericks beat the Grizzlies 105-91. It is worth mentioning that this game faces the old club Tony. Allen also scored 16 points, and the outside defensive gate also seemed to show some talent on the offensive end with the help of Yiyang, and the Mavericks won two in a row.

On December 20, in the face of the Toronto Raptors from the north, Yiyang and "Little Steel Cannon" Lowry staged a point guard battle.

Kyle. Lowry, a veteran of the Rockets who is well known to Chinese fans, has improved significantly this season, and he has become an indispensable soul of the Raptors. Today, Lowry also performed very well, with 20 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, a fairly comprehensive statistic.

It's a pity that the Mavericks' performance of three people scoring 20 points and five scoring doubles made Lowry's data worthless. Yiyang had 29 points and 13 assists, and while scoring a high score himself, he also helped Nowitzki score 23 points and Iguodala scored 22 points. The Mavericks once again put on a "Big Three" style performance, and the trio helped the Mavericks win 109-101 at home over the Raptors. In a week, the Mavericks completed their transformation from three consecutive defeats to three consecutive wins.

The Mavericks are on a winning streak again, and experts around the world are asking a question. "Who the hell is going to stop the Dallasians from wreaking havoc."

On Dec. 21, the Phoenix Suns were considered the most likely team to interrupt the Mavericks' winning streak. For one, the Mavericks are playing back-to-back away games. Second, the Suns' fast-paced style of play will likely bring down the Mavericks, who are fighting back-to-back.

The result? As a result, Yiyang slashed 38 points and dished out 14 assists on the heads of two star guards, Bledsoe and Dragic, crumpling the Suns' defense into a mess of paper and throwing it in the trash can next to it.

123-108, the Dallas Mavericks staged a bloody massacre in Phoenix without mercy. They shot the Suns at 17 percent from three-point range, while they shot a whopping 50 percent from three-point range. On both offensive and defensive ends, the Suns were blown to the ground. The Mavericks won four in a row, and the idea that the Suns could stop the Mavericks became a joke.

Therefore, in the game before Christmas, when the Mavericks fought against the old enemy Rockets again, and Yiyang met his enemy Howard again, no expert dared to stand up and say that the Rockets could end the Mavericks' winning streak. After all, during this time, there were too many people who were slapped in the face by the Mavericks and Yiyang, and no one wanted to discredit themselves again.

'Without James, I'm confident I can win at home. We're going to give the fans a Christmas gift with a big win. Howard said before the game began.

Recently, thanks to James. Harden is unavailable due to injury, Dwight Harden. Howard seems to have found some of the thrill of being a master of magic.

In the last game, Howard single-handedly led the team against the Pistons, slashed a terrifying statistic of 35 points and 19 rebounds, and led the Rockets to victory. This game undoubtedly boosted Howard's confidence, and he seemed to have found the glory of dominating the league in the three-second zone back then. He knew that he was still the best star in the league before he was at his peak!

Therefore, Howard is very confident against the Mavericks again. The Pistons' guy named Drummond couldn't stop themselves, so what did the Mavericks do to compete with them?

As it turns out, Howard, who is in excellent form, is indeed not something that a rookie like Gobert can handle. In this game, Howard frequently smashed dunks in the three-second zone, knocking the underweight Gobert to the side.

With 29 points and 15 rebounds, Howard once again cut the "Warcraft" level of statistics. But Howard was also desperate to find that even though he was already in such good form in the game, he still couldn't beat that pesky Chinese!

Yiyang maintained his good form today, and scored ten more points than Howard in the whole game! With 39 points and 15 assists, it is indeed very difficult to deliver a high number of assists while scoring high points yourself. In other words, most of the Mavericks' scoring came from Yiyang. Either he scores straight away or he assists to score.

Yiyang completely controlled the offensive end with his own strength, and no matter how much Howard overturned the river and the sea, he couldn't turn Yiyang's palm.

So far, the Mavericks have met the Rockets three times this season, and Yiyang has won the final victory. With or without Harden, whether Howard plays well or not, the Rockets just can't beat the Mavericks and seem to be under a spell.

In an interview with reporters after the game, Howard almost couldn't help but explode into a foul mouth. Knowing that he has played so well, but there is still no way to defeat the mortal enemy, this feeling is indeed more uncomfortable than stepping on shit.

"That damn Chinese is fucking targeting me on purpose!" This sentence sounded countless times in Howard's heart, but fortunately he finally held back and did not shout it in front of the public. Otherwise, you will definitely end up with a reputation that you can't afford to lose.

The "Happy Beast" was only happy for a game, and was immediately beaten back to its original form by Yiyang. The two of them are getting deeper and deeper, and as long as Howard is still in Houston for a day, every time the Rockets meet the Mavericks, they are destined to not be peaceful.

The victory over the Rockets not only made Howard, who was outrageous, suffer again, but also led the Mavericks to a five-game winning streak for the fourth time this season. This time, the gold content of the five-game winning streak is still very high, and the three opponents of the Spurs, Grizzlies and Rockets are all among the best in the West. But even against strong opponents in a row, the Mavericks still managed to stabilize their record.

This wave of five consecutive wins has brought the Mavericks back to the top of the major sports media power index lists. And Yiyang's explosive data of 37.4 points and 13.4 assists per game in these five games also allowed him to surpass James and return to the top of the MVP list.

A three-game losing streak and a three-game ban were just a minor episode, and it turns out that the Mavericks have never fallen from the top of the pack this season.

After the battle with the Rockets, Yiyang and his teammates on the Mavericks can finally temporarily get out of this bloody battle and spend a Christmas in peace.

Thanks to the seemingly "weak" lineup of the Mavericks, this year's NBA Christmas game still does not have the Mavericks' share. But don't think the Mavericks players will be depressed by this, Yiyang hasn't played a Christmas game in his four seasons in the league, and he's always thought of it as a heavenly dad to bless him. It's a big holiday, and no one wants to go to work. Fortunately, the league has not arranged for Yiyang to "go to work" during the holidays for four consecutive seasons.

As soon as the game with the Rockets ended, Yiyang drove home and picked up his mother and went straight to the airport.

This year, instead of Dallas, they'll be traveling as far as Italy to experience a completely different and exotic Christmas Eve.

Of course, Yiyang took his mother to Italy not just for the holidays. Since returning from Brazil in the summer, Yiyang and Vignari seem to have not been together for a long time......

You okay? My Italian angel.
