Chapter 541: The Contest of Drawing a Red Circle
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Although the loss to the Miami Heat ended the Mavericks' eight-game winning streak, the 8-1 record is still unmatched by other teams.
After the victory over the Mavericks, the Heat had a record of only 6 wins and 3 losses. At the same time, the Thunder's 5-3 record naturally cannot be compared with the Mavericks. The Spurs, who are closest to the Mavericks, have a 7-1 record and one less win. So, although the loss was one game, it didn't stop the Mavericks from being the best team in the league.
After Yiyang retweeted Alfred's tweet and left a message, the entire social media exploded. Countless netizens have encouraged Alfred to accept Yiyang's challenge, but Alfred has not spoken until now.
Yiyang didn't care about this matter anymore, even if the so-called king of New California really answered, Yiyang would not be afraid at all. The gap between professional and amateur basketball may be farther than from New York, Los Angeles.
After losing the game, Yiyang quickly adjusted his mentality, and this season has just begun.
After a two-day break after the loss to the Heat, the Mavericks returned to their home court with an easy victory over the very 76ers.
The game Evan. Turner excelled at Tony. Allen's defense miraculously chipped in 26 points, 6 assists and 7 rebounds, and today, this guy seems to be back four years ago, back to the days when he was at the top of the NCAA.
Evan. Turner is still trying to prove that he is a qualified leader, but Yiyang, Tanhua, is already an MVP-level player. The current Yiyang does not regard Turner as an opponent at all, because he is not yet at the level of an opponent.
With 28 points, 14 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, Yiyang controlled the game from beginning to end with his strong court control ability, and under Yiyang's organization, Nowitzki and Iguodala each scored 20 points, and when a team can play nearly 70 points with three players, it is basically impossible for them to lose.
97-90, after losing to the Heat, the Mavericks immediately recovered and renewed the victory. Just pity Evan. Turner, even though he has performed so well, still can't defeat the Tanhua who has been pressing him for four years.
"The three of them scored 68 points together! God, that's a standard triumvirate statistic! ”
"Stop complaining that the Mavericks' roster isn't strong enough, in fact, they already have their own Big Three lineup!"
"Before you know it, the Mavericks also have a Big Three-level outfit. Seriously, there's a good chance that the Dallas will be back at the top this season! ”
Although the 76ers are not a strong opponent, after this game, many media still marveled at the excellent performance of the Mavericks. In particular, the outstanding performances of Yiyang, Nowitzki and Iguodala have made people call out that a new era of the Big Three is coming.
Howard must have been the first to stand up against this.
"Against the 76ers, we were able to score 80 points with three of us." Underneath this text, Howard is accompanied by a photo of the Rockets' starting five Tigers. In the next game, the Rockets will travel to Dallas for a second matchup with the Mavericks. And this is undoubtedly a provocation by Howard to Yiyang before the game.
However, before Yiyang and the Mavericks fans could make a move, Howard's comment section was drowned out by invective from 76ers fans, which caused Howard to delete Twitter in embarrassment two hours after the news was posted.
I have to say, Howard really did another stupid thing. I believe that the next time he goes to play in Philadelphia, he will definitely receive a "warm welcome" from the 76ers fans. ”
Although he dug himself into another hole, Howard was still full of anticipation for this matchup. This opportunity to be ashamed, he looked forward to the stars and the moon, but finally came.
I have to admit that today at the Center Arena of American Airlines, Howard seems to have become the Superman who once guarded Orlando again. Howard played very aggressively throughout the game, and Gobert was also the first time that he was beaten by an opponent without a fight.
Dwight pushed Gobert away, and Rudy's weight was still too light. Howard didn't hesitate, and jumped on the spot directly! God, this terrible destructive power leaves the French helpless! "Seeing Howard complete the dunk on the court again, Mike. Brin couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Howard played too aggressively today, counting the dunk just now, this is already the 33rd point of the game cut by "Warcraft". He had 33 points and 11 rebounds while shooting 75 percent from the field and 69 percent from the free throw line.
Everyone was amazed by Howard's performance of dreaming back to the top, but Yiyang was not bluffed.
After Howard's goal, the Rockets closed the deficit to one point in the final 33 seconds. McHale doesn't plan to use foul tactics to send the Mavericks to the free throw line, he wants to defend the Mavericks' offense, and then arrange a lore strategy to completely take away the game!
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is often more brutal.
At the critical moment, even the fans sitting in the stands felt their hearts beat faster. However, Yiyang still controlled the ball steadily, as if the game was not left with the last 33 seconds, but with 33 minutes left.
Outside the three-point line, Yiyang stopped and observed the situation in the half. Then, the guy passed the ball to Dirk, who was in a position on the inside, and he started to run.
With a one-point lead, the Mavericks' safest course of action is naturally to play two-point shots. Nowitzki, on the other hand, is undoubtedly the safest point of attack right now.
Just when everyone thought Nowitzki would make a move to finish the offense, the German threw the ball back beyond the three-point line with a hook move.
Yiyang slapped his horse and rushed to the right side of the basket at a 45° angle outside the three-point line. After receiving the basketball, Yiyang did not hesitate and shot directly.
Lin's defense was a step slower, and by the time he interfered, the ball was already flying into the air. Howard immediately stuck in the position, today's game, the initiative will belong to himself!
However, Howard grabbed nothing. The basketball fell directly into the net and smashed to the floor. The arena at the center of the American route instantly boiled, and everyone raised their arms and cheered.
At the critical moment, Yiyang hit a three-point shot! The Mavericks took a crucial four-point lead, and the situation became very unfavorable for the Rockets in an instant.
With this three-pointer, Yiyang's personal data became 37 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 block and 3 steals. Howard worked hard to play his peak performance, but he was still pressed by Yiyang.
In the end, Harden's three-point shot missed, and Howard pushed Gobert directly to the offensive rebound, only to be whistled for a scramble for the ball foul. And this foul undoubtedly gave the rocket a death sentence.
Howard played at the top of his game, but the Rockets still lost.
After the game, reporters asked Yiyang how he would evaluate the team's performance today. However, Yiyang shook his head, as if he was not excited about the arrival of victory.
"It's unbelievable that we let each other score 120 points."
It seems that Yiyang is ostensibly dissatisfied with the team's defense today. But in fact, Yiyang is satirizing Team Rocket's struggles. What about playing at the top of your game? It's not the same, can't you win?
It's just that I pity Howard, I waited so long and finally got a chance for revenge, but I didn't expect to be left with a new scar on my body by Yiyang.
So far, the Mavericks have won two consecutive victories and completely walked out of the haze of losing. And Howard, this guy, finally shut up and was quiet for a while.
If it weren't for Yiyang, Howard, who played at his peak, should have dominated the headlines of major news outlets. It's a pity that Yiyang seems to be a "monster buster", always able to knock him into the ice cave.
The Mavericks then helped Iguodala get his revenge on the Nuggets, and then managed to crush old friend Hayward and his Jazz in back-to-back games.
The Mavericks are riding a four-game winning streak to continue to cement their position as the No. 1 player in the league.
After the victory over the Jazz, Yiyang looked at the schedule. It's only been two days since the game that was circled by me.
This season, Yiyang is often compared to that guy. And that guy's performance is indeed very impressive. Yiyang is really looking forward to a direct conversation with him two days later.
Carlisle also attaches great importance to this match, because the opponent's style of play will likely usher in a new era.
※※※
On the training ground, a skinny guard with a simple head is practicing his shooting. The sound of the Nets tumbling kept ringing, indicating that the guy's shot would hardly miss.
Of course, the position in which he practices shooting is also very peculiar. Not mid-range, not even outside the three-point line, but two steps outside the three-point line!
Being able to shoot two steps from beyond the three-point line and still maintain a shooting percentage is unguarded, but there is no doubt that this cannot be achieved without the world's top shooting ability.
This guard just keeps throwing, throwing, and then switching angles to continue shooting. It was not until he made his fortieth shot that the basketball finally hit the basket. Seeing this, the little defender shook his head, as if he was still disappointed with his performance.
However, this is actually very difficult, if Yiyang is allowed to vote like this, he may have to hit the iron four or five times.
"Don't go back yet?" Just then, a white player poked his head in from the gate of the training hall. "If you want to go, let's go together."
"No, Klay, I'm not done yet." The emaciated guard waved his hand.
"I really can't help you, if you cut off 40 points on Yi's head the day after tomorrow, don't forget to take me to take a group photo." The white player named Clay smiled, then waved goodbye to his teammates, not bothering him to train again.
The door to the gym was shut, and the guard got back to his feet and picked up the basketball. The "swish" sound of the net's tumbling and the "bang" sound of the basketball hitting the wooden floor are intertwined into a beautiful music, which makes this guy more and more energetic and does not feel tired at all.
Yiyang? I really want to see how far I can go in the face of strong enemies!
Thinking of this, the inch-headed defender with the name "Curry" written on the back of the jersey couldn't help but smile like a child.
