Chapter 156: Breaking the Wall?
On the defensive end, Andre. Miller can usually use his strong body and a lot of experience to limit the opponent's play, especially Kidd's kind of old guy like himself, Andre. Miller's best defender.
Kidd wasn't fast, and Miller Sr. knew him well. So when it comes to defending Kidd, Miller Sr. is handy.
But the young Mavericks No. 1 in front of him made Miller Sr. feel a little nervous. What he fears most on the defensive end is a fast defender. And Yiyang is just a model of a speed-oriented defender!
Nowitzki's key position on the inside did not go well, and Aldridge, who was determined to play and lead the team to victory today, was inseparable from the Germans. Most people may have the impression that Nowitzki and Aldridge, who mainly score with a soft style of scoring such as jump shots, do not have much effect on the defensive end, but this is just a delusion of fans.
Both Aldridge and Dirk are not bad defensively, so it will not be easy for Dirk to get rid of Aldridge's close defense now.
On the other side, Batum, who was still very excited when he first came on the court, was biting tightly on the back of Marion's ass. And the tall and strong Matthews made Terry's running also very embarrassing.
After looking around, there was no chance for several points of attack. Yiyang simply pressed his center of gravity, planning to break through by himself!
Seeing that Yiyang lowered his center of gravity, and the speed of alternating dribbling with his two hands became faster and faster. The old guard pursed his lips unconsciously, and the lightning-like defender seemed to be about to break through. This undoubtedly made old Miller's whole body tense.
Yiyang suddenly raised his hand, and Old Miller hurriedly moved sideways! However, Yiyang didn't get up, just moved slowly.
"Is it just normal movement?" Miller found himself overreacting and his tense body slowly relaxed.
However, Yiyang's move was fake. Seeing that Old Miller relaxed his vigilance, Yiyang kicked his calf, and the whole person seemed to be "bounced" out.
The relaxed old Miller consciously knew that he had to block it quickly, but his aging legs couldn't react.
A gust of wind from Andrey. Miller blew past him, rolling up his wide trouser legs. The veteran immediately turned around, but found that Yiyang had distanced himself from him and went straight to the forbidden area.
96 Golden Generation's Eye-Eyed Show Marcus. Camby just wanted to make up for the basket, but was caught out of the box by Chandler. In this way, the Trail Blazers' basket portal opened, waiting for Yiyang's arrival.
Although Yiyang is not a showy guy, he will not be polite in the face of such an opportunity to attack the empty basket.
I saw this yellow-skinned guy jump on one foot and jump to a height that was not inferior to a black player at all.
Yiyang holds the ball in both hands in the air, puts it behind his head, and then slams the ball into the frame with a slam of force.
"Boom!" The basket made a loud noise, and Yiyang's powerful dunk made the old Miller who was chasing behind look embarrassed.
McMillan, who was still smiling, immediately froze his expression, and it seemed that the Mavericks' substitution also caused him a lot of trouble.
"Also, smash the buckle with both hands! I've never seen a Chinese player dunk so excited about me, really, not even Yao back then! "Charles. Barkley exaggeratedly snuffed out his own roar.
"Maybe Derek. Ross should be compared with Yibi, whose smashing buckle on the back of the head is more shocking! "And Kenny. Smith compared Yiyang's dunk with Rose's dunk to express his recognition of that dunk.
The Trail Blazers overtook the score less than 24 seconds before they were filled by Yiyang with a dunk. People say that Yiyang, who hit the rookie wall, is likely to score in single digits today, and Mavericks fans want to see who can limit him!
In the subsequent attack of the Trail Blazers, Miller Sr. did not choose to entangle with Yiyang too much. Seeing Aldridge forcefully get to the position on the inside and reach out for the ball, Andre did not hesitate and immediately hung the ball into the inside.
No nonsense, no superfluous movements. Aldridge slammed down on the basketball, and Nowitzki didn't expect the guy to play so aggressively today, and he was knocked back a big step because of his lack of preparation.
Aldridge sensed Nowitzki's holes in his position, and he took the opportunity to flip over and shoot a jumper. Although the Germans tried their best to interfere, he could not obscure Aldridge's vision when he was knocked back.
The latter shot softly, and the basketball crashed into the basket with the pleasant sound of the nets tumbling. The Trail Blazers scored for the second time in a row, and the taciturn No. 12 big man just lightly hammered himself in the chest and then quickly stepped back.
"This guy is really similar to himself." Yiyang looked at Aldridge and muttered to himself in his heart.
Moodier reminded Yiyang of his former self, so he empathized with him and became friends with Moodier. Aldridge also let Yiyang see something very similar to himself, but on the basketball court, they can only become enemies!
'Dirk was very embarrassed today by LaMarcus, who has struggled to get to position on the inside so far, and LaMarcus has already scored three goals on the German's head. He's in really, really good form, so let's see how the defense is going this time. ”
In Kenny. Under Smith's praise for Aldridge, Yiyang had already crossed the halfway line and re-examined the situation at half-time.
Of course, Yiyang can easily break through with his speed again, but he also found that Marcus. Camby has changed his position and is ready to make up for himself after the breakaway.
Camby's one-on-one defense may be average, but he really has a set of defensive skills. Although it was questioned, Camby, who was in the Nuggets at the beginning, relied on his own defense to play good defensive statistics, so as to win a trophy for the best defensive player.
Yiyang looked at Camby's defensive position, so he raised his hand and called for a block!
Nowitzki understood and immediately gave up the entanglement with Aldridge and ran all the way to the high position.
Yiyang and Nowitzki's pick-and-roll cooperation has become one of the Mavericks' regular tactics, so he and Dirk already have a good tacit understanding.
The Germans' blocking and dismantling had just been put in place, and Yiyang was just right. This time, it must have been a great delay for the old Miller, who had a bad leg.
Yiyang broke through, and Aldridge had to let go of Nowitzki to block the expressionless No. 1 defender.
Seeing this dislocation forming, all Mavericks fans became excited. Now, as long as Yiyang hits the ball back outside the three-point line, Nowitzki, who faces Miller Sr., will get a near-empty shot!
Yiyang did the same, and this ball Yiyang passed very high. Nowitzki could get it, but Miller Sr. couldn't.
A Mavericks' classic tactical coordination is about to be completed. Nowitzki calmly took a shot from Miller's near-no distraction, and Cuban in the stands was ready to raise his arms to cheer for the goal.
However, the orange basketball hit the basket the neck and missed! The arms of all the fans who were ready to be raised turned into unbelievable hands on their heads, and Nowitzki missed again!
'Dirk missed again and the Germans didn't seem to be in great shape today. The opportunity had come out, but Dirk didn't take it. The rebounds were picked up by the Trail Blazers, and they had a chance to continue to expand the score! Barkley shook his head, it seems that Aldridge's strength today is to beat Nowitzki all at once.
"My bad, my bad!" Nowitzki shouted in frustration and immediately followed his teammates back into their own half.
In Portland, the City of Roses, countless Trail Blazers fans were in front of their televisions in anticipation of this hard-earned offensive opportunity. They are still fantasizing about how Aldridge will score this time.
However, the old Miller has just controlled the ball to the halfway line, and the Trail Blazers' offense has not yet been fully rolled out, but the situation on the field has changed dramatically!
I saw Yiyang, who was in front of the old Miller, suddenly reached out with his long arms, and this veteran who had just reached the middle line and was not very vigilant lost control of the basketball like this!
Old Miller hurriedly turned around and prepared to get the ball back, but Yiyang had already taken advantage of the momentum to get up and shot the basketball out one step ahead of Old Miller.
The basketball was shot like this by Yiyang and began to roll towards the Trail Blazers' halfcourt. Yiyang chased after him quickly, and caught up with the basketball after not running a few steps.
Yiyang's steal was very sudden, and many Trail Blazers players didn't even react to what was happening, when they saw that Yiyang had already held the ball to the penalty area.
In the case of no one being watched, Yiyang once again won the dunk. This goal can be regarded as getting back the goal that Nowitzki threw just now!
After the goal, Yiyang quickly turned around, and then pointed his finger lightly at Nowitzki. Nowitzki smiled slightly, he was still worried about Yiyang's state before the game, and now it seems that he should be worried about his state.
Yiyang's steal and a violent dunk was undoubtedly a big blow to the morale of the Trail Blazers, but Aldridge's fighting spirit made the Trail Blazers players quickly raise their momentum.
After that, the two sides played back and forth on the court. Both teams did their best, both defensively and offensively.
In the last 13 seconds of the game, Yiyang held the ball on the outside to organize the last attack of the first quarter of the game. Trail Blazers backup point guard Patrick. Mills stared at Yiyang with unwavering eyes, for fear that this guy would suddenly speed up.
Yiyang gestured, as if he was directing his teammates to run. But in fact, Carlisle has already handed over the right to execute the last vote to Yiyang. Yiyang gestured, just to confuse the opponent.
Time passed by second, and it was not until the number on the timer became "5" that Yiyang started!
As soon as this No. 1 defender got up, Marion, who was not far from Yiyang, suddenly turned sideways and set up a cover for Yiyang!
Everyone thought that Yiyang would rely on speed to break through by himself, but unexpectedly, this tactic still secretly had blocking and dismantling cooperation.
This sudden cover gave Mills no time to react and crashed into it solidly. And Roy, who returned to the court to defend Marion, naturally changed to Yiyang.
Roy was also one of Yiyang's favorite players at the beginning, and his lore made Yiyang linger every time. And at this moment, I have to hit a whistle ball on this guy's head!
Yiyang, who originally broke through with the ball, suddenly stopped! Roy immediately put on the brakes, but it was clear that the injury had caused the guy too much torture. Yiyang could see that Roy's knee movement was very sluggish.
After the emergency stop, Yiyang took a step back and made a decisive jump shot. Although Roy was not moving as fast as before, his consciousness was still there. He raised his arm and pounced forward with all his might, and it could be said that the defense had covered Yiyang's face.
But Yiyang didn't panic, just threw the ball out according to the usual rhythm.
The red light on the rebound came on, and the basketball was already flying in the air. In the next second, the basketball hit the front of the basket, but it still "crawled" into the frame.
"In! Entered! A whistle ball! Yi's pull-back jumper helped the Mavericks overtake by 1 point in the final moments! Haha, what a wonderful goal, this kid is such a big-hearted player! "Charles. Barkley was excited, and Roy shook his head. Before, the person who scored these goals was always himself, but now ......
Yiyang's whistle shot turned the entire U.S. Route Center Arena into a sea of joy.
Of course, those "experts" are not in such a good mood at the moment. Yiyang had already scored 6 points in the first quarter, and their so-called rookie wall and "scoring will be limited to single digits" seemed to be about to become untenable.
Yiyang won't make this group of guys nervous for too long, because right away, he will let such remarks be completely destroyed!
