Chapter 134: Thank you for the reminder
The three-point gap is still the same, and the intensity of this game may not have been imagined by many fans before.
After all, in most people's impressions, the Mavericks should not be that strong. People say that the San Antonio Spurs are low-key, but in fact, the Dallas Mavericks, in addition to their owner Cuban, are also a very low-key team from the inside out.
Fans will be surprised that the Mavericks play so tenacious, but Wade won't. He knows very well what kind of team the Mavericks are, and similarly, the "Flash" also knows that the Tanhua show that is approaching him is also not an ordinary person.
Yiyang's independent scoring situation today is not ideal, because Wade's inseparable defense does make it difficult for Yiyang to get a chance.
But unlike most rookies who choose to invest in vain if they don't get a chance, Yiyang will definitely not make a rash move if he doesn't get a chance. For a lot of defenders, not being able to shoot is basically useless on the offensive end. But this statement does not work for Yiyang.
Wade's defensive awareness is indeed strong, and his stronger body than Yiyang also gives the Heat No. 3 an advantage at all times.
Yiyang did not call for a pick-and-roll, but passed directly under Wade's pressing. No matter how fast Wade reacts, it is impossible to complete the steal the moment Yiyang hits the ball.
The basketball flew into Nowitzki's hands and the German held the ball with his back in the mid-to-long range. Bosh immediately became alert and clung to Dirk. Even though the Germans are still far from the basket, Bosh knows that this distance is not a big deal for Nowitzki. As long as you dare to give him space, he will dare to throw the ball in for you!
Nowitzki didn't immediately turn to the frame after holding the ball, but tested Bosh's defense with his back. At the same time, Yiyang has already started to weave through the crowd, and the No. 1 defender is not like Chalmers who can pass the ball and do nothing. His never-ending off-ball movement made Wade feel a little struggling.
In the end, after going around the half, Yiyang still rushed to Nowitzki's side. It turned out that Nowitzki was not holding the ball to attack, but to play a hand-to-hand with Yiyang.
The tacit understanding between Nowitzki and Yiyang grew rapidly, and as soon as Yiyang took the ball away from the German's hand, Nowitzki turned sideways and delayed Wade's follow-up. This time, Yiyang successfully overtook and temporarily got rid of Wade's defense.
Bosh was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether he should make up for Yiyang or stick to his position. After all, this guy in front of him can't give him any space.
Bosh's hesitation buried the best opportunity to make up for the defense, and Yiyang saw that Bosh did not come sideways, so he directly stopped and pulled up the shot. The basketball hit the neck of the basket first, and James had already rushed inside to fight for the rebound. However, in the next second, the basketball bounced up and fell into the net. Yiyang's stop-and-go jump shot hit without danger.
"The first point, which was also the first point on Dwayne's head. But I believe that this is by no means the last point. Indeed, Yiyan's current personal strength is indeed not comparable to Dwyan, but relying on the strength of the team, Dwayne cannot achieve a clean sheet. ”
"Stinky boy, there are two brushes!" Wade muttered as he picked up the basketball on the ground, he didn't know why he was so excited today. Perhaps, it was the young Yiyang who aroused the blood in Wade's heart.
Although he would love to return the favor, Wade is not the kind of guy who throws the team's interests behind personal data. In the next round, the Heat attacked, and the confrontation between Yiyang and Wade did not spark.
James, who felt hot, still hit the shot despite Marion's defense, and the fans of the Heat team couldn't be happier, as long as James played well, it would be difficult for the Heat to lose!
After that, Yiyang borrowed Chandler's block to win space for himself to pass. He immediately threw the ball into the hands of Terry, who cut inside, but Terry's layup failed to hit due to Ilgoskas' interference.
Carlisle shook his head, and even he thought the Mavericks' offense was over. But Yiyang appeared unexpectedly and won the offensive rebound.
Under the basket with very little space, Yiyang looked at Nowitzki who was outside the three-second zone, but with a slight flick of his wrist, he sent the basketball to Tyson. Chandler's hands.
At this time, the attention of "Big Z" was on Yiyang, who grabbed the rebound. By the time he slowly turned to defend "The King of Fighters," Chandler was already in the air and dunked on the spot under the basket.
"Another pleasing goal, the Heat's interior is in ruins." Kevin. Harlan couldn't help but sigh that Big Z was really old. After completing the supplementary defense against Terry, Big Z simply had no way to immediately jump twice to protect the rebound. Coupled with the fact that Yiyang is indeed active enough, it is not surprising that the Mavericks rely on secondary offensive goals.
James stepped forward and patted Big Z on the back, after all, this Lithuanian center has also been teammates with LeBron for many years, and James will still do the comfort between teammates.
But again, James doesn't take things lightly. The Mavericks scored two points on the head of Ilgoskas, and he is bound to hit it back!
This time, Chalmers didn't even have the right to possess the ball for half the court. James personally took the baseline ball and pushed forward, although it was only one person, but the Mavericks' defense instantly tensed.
This time, instead of pressing James, Marion let LBJ go. James doesn't care so much, now that he feels hot, Marion lets him go, and he chooses to shoot directly!
Yiyang saw James' slightly stiff shooting action, and immediately stuck Wade sideways. He knows that Wade is also a good player for offensive rebounding in scrums. In many cases, missing rebounds is not actually the fault of the interior player, but the outside player does not jam his own alignment.
It was because Wade made such a mistake just now that Yiyang had a chance, so it was naturally impossible for Yiyang to "exchange courtesies" in this regard.
Sure enough, James' three-point shot from distance stumbled out of the frame. With no perimeter players flying around, "The King of Boxing" Tyson easily grabbed the defensive rebound.
"This was LeBron's first miss in the second quarter, and the Mavericks had a chance to overtake the score!"
Although this was a great opportunity to overtake the score, Yiyang was not in a hurry after receiving the basketball. Controlling the tempo is the key to a calm team.
"Four, four!" At this critical moment when he had a chance to overtake the score, Carlisle naturally shouted again on the sidelines.
The so-called Tactic No. 4, as the name suggests, is a tactic created specifically for Nowitzki. Actually, this tactic is not complicated, because Nowitzki's personal ability is enough for him to deal with any situation.
Yiyang had just passed half time and immediately threw the ball to Marion. Did Yiyang just hear the wrong tactic? Of course not, it's just that he doesn't want the Mavericks' tactics to be too visible to their opponents.
Marion burst with the ball, but James' block made it difficult for the former All-Star small forward to move an inch.
Just as Marion was holding the ball, Yiyang and Nowitzki played a no-ball block close to the baseline. Yiyang's superb anti-run made Wade, who was chasing with all his strength, unable to stop the car, and finally shifted the center of gravity, and had to face Nowitzki's blocking.
Seeing that Yiyang has been given a chance, Chris. Naturally, Bosh could not sit idly by. He simply left the Germans and rushed towards Yiyang, and the two dislocations formed in an instant!
"Pretty run!" Marion praised Yiyang in his heart, and then played the ball again and passed it directly to Yiyang who was outside the three-point line.
"In the last game, he completed a wonderful attack that Duncan successfully fouled in the singles, and this time, can he beat Bosh together?" This misplaced scene made the stone man who was far away in San Antonio lie down and was shot.
Yiyang really wanted to fight the "Dragon King", but he knew that now was not the time to satisfy his curiosity. Now that the tactics have been executed so successfully, what are you waiting for?
Bosh nervously lowered his center of gravity and opened his arms. He had long heard that the Chinese in front of him was like lightning, and Yiyang was going to burst out later, and Bosh really had no bottom in his heart.
But unexpectedly, Yiyang did not use small and big, but hit the ground and passed, and hit the ball into the inside!
At this time, people realized that Nowitzki had leaned on Wade on the edge of the three-second zone to get to the position! Wade, who is 1.93 meters, defends Dirk with 2.13 meters and a very high shooting point, which is tantamount to giving away points!
James immediately ditched Marion to pack the box, but unfortunately, the German rolled over and made a jumper before the encirclement could form.
Wade tried his best to jump and block, but Nowitzki, who was tall and long-armed, combined with a little bit of leaning, made it impossible for Wade to interfere with his own shooting.
In this way, the basketball hollowed into the net, and the Mavericks finally overtook the score. James' complete control of the game also came to an end.
Subsequently, some anxious "little emperors" recklessly attacked the basket, but were blocked and interfered by Chandler, who was also strong. Although Chandler failed to complete the block on James's head, it also interfered with the genius's missed layup.
This time, Yiyang did not wait for the Heat team to return to defense, but immediately advanced quickly after receiving the ball!
Yiyang's fast and slow rhythm made it difficult for the Heat team to make targeted arrangements, and Yiyang, who plunged into the three-second zone to divide the ball, but faked the fax, interfered with Wade's judgment, and made a layup.
If you don't overtake, you can only overtake, and once you overtake the Mavericks, they will lead by 3 points. James, who had just made a mistake, also calmed down, it was useless to be in a hurry, and the ball had to be played calmly.
So this time, through a series of runs, Wade received a pass from James outside the three-point line in front of the basket. At the same time, James blocked and dismantled, and it looked like he was going to play a pick-and-roll with Wade!
Wade was not polite to his good brother, James blocked and dismantled in place, and the "Flash" burst out. Yiyang did not bypass the block, but chased directly back. Sure enough, Wade's goal was to hit the basket!
Seeing that Chandler didn't have time to make up for the basket, Wade directly collapsed two steps and jumped sharply, ready to go to the basket!
It was at this moment that Wade felt a tremendous pressure coming from his side. Looking at it again, Yiyang didn't know when he had already followed and jumped up with him!
In the air, the bodies of the two collided. Yiyang raised his arms high, so Wade had to throw the ball to the basket in a tossing manner.
Under this extremely serious interference, even Wade would have missed. The basketball bounced back after hitting the rebound, but instead of bounceing back into the net, it smashed into the hoop!
"Also, he's keeping up with Dwayne!" Kevin. Harlan shouted, in fact, Wade's physical condition has deteriorated very seriously this season, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to keep up with Wade after being blocked.
But success is success, Yiyang's defense of Wade this time can be described as a complete victory!
"I'm right, Jason, trust me, this won't be Dwayne's last miss!" Seeing Wade's miss, the most proud person was Carlisle. Facts have proved that his strategy of using Yiyang to defend Wade is extremely correct! If the person who just defended Wade was the slower and shorter Terry, I guess Wade is already celebrating the goal by now.
The back-to-back misses of James and Wade left the Heat a little confused.
After that, Yiyang failed to score again under Wade's marking, but his pass helped Marion hit three goals in a row.
Defensively, Wade's impact has repeatedly ended in failure. Either Yiyang completely stuck him to death, or Chandler helped Yiyang get through the difficulties.
Thankfully, after Barria returned to the court, he squandered consecutive chances that gave the Heat some respite. It was because of Barria's not-so-good hand that the Heat were able to narrow the difference.
At the end of the second quarter, the score was 51-49, and the Dallas Mavericks led by two points at halftime.
Everyone was stunned, not because of the score. Rather, it was because Wade's offensive performance in the second quarter of the game was only 1 of 5 shots. Yiyang's defense against Wade can definitely be described as a success!
Although there are also Wade's own reasons in this, such as being in a hurry to overtake. But no matter what you say, the dumb fire of "The Flash" is an indisputable fact.
With the half-time lead and the stunned eyes of everyone, Yiyang avoided all reporters and walked into the players' tunnel.
You're right, my coach really got me in front of you. But......
But thanks for the reminder, I think, I did a great job!
