Chapter 219: 2nd, 3rd, 17th
A Monta. Ellis's 360-degree mid-air turnaround layup silenced all 15,000 fans in the Phu Quoc Center arena.
As for Reggie. Miller and Chris. Webb, these two guys forgot to close their gaping mouths.
The most terrifying thing is that after completing this series of actions, the number one defender did not do anything to celebrate, just ran away in silence. It's as if it's just a regular goal, not worth mentioning at all.
Evan sitting on the bench. Turner was stunned, the scene just now, he felt déjà vu.
Suddenly, this 2010 Bangyan show remembered. When he played Yiyang for the first time, he was still in the NCAA arena, and Ohio State University center Jason . Iman is the background of Yiyang's first 360° turn layup in the air. That's when Turner saw the incredible scene on the court.
Unexpectedly, more than a year later, on the NBA court, Yiyang actually staged another such performance.
Frustration at this scene, made Evan. Turner's heart was filled with infinite frustration. Yiyang has been able to transfer the wonderful goals he scored in the NCAA period to the NBA arena, but he is now just an ordinary bench player.
When Yiyang ran back to his own half and high-fived his teammates in celebration, the boos in the Phu Quoc Center arena were too late.
Yiyang beat Holiday and Meeks in a row, and finally scored the goal that was destined to be selected as the top five of the day on the head of Iguodala, a defensive stalwart. From grabbing a rebound to a successful layup, every step is the essence!
And Yiyang completed the attack of this essence in less than ten seconds.
Just like Reggie. Miller's hunch was that the entire Phu Quoc Center Arena was electrocuted. And now the people who have been electrocuted are still in a state of paralysis.
"Damn, I should have fouled!" Iguodala shook his hand unwillingly, instead of becoming Yiyang's background board, he might as well just put Yiyang down. But before that, who would have thought that Yiyang would complete the layup in such a way? Before that, Iguodala was confident about his defense.
"What are you still doing! The game is not over yet, keep attacking, attacking! Collins struggled to keep his composure and shouted at the players on the field. But in fact, the goal just now also shocked Collins.
Since the start of the third quarter, the 76ers have been battered. Now, the 76ers, eager to establish an advantage, are a full five points behind.
Sometimes, a 5-point difference may not change anything at all. But a goal that is extremely demoralizing to the opponent is very powerful.
When Holiday took possession of the ball again and struck at Yiyang, he seemed to have lost the sharpness of the first half. A 15-minute halftime break cooled Holiday to his fiery hands. And Yiyang's wonderful goal also poured cold water on Holiday in his fiery heart.
This time, Holiday was obviously a little timid. He doesn't want to be tackled by Yiyang anymore, and he doesn't want Yiyang to play a wonderful attack anymore. But in the third quarter of the game, Collins' tactics were precisely aimed at Holiday again. If the No. 11 guard does not dare to play, then the 76ers' tactics will naturally not be able to be effectively implemented.
The basketball hit Holiday several times, but Holiday saw that there was no chance, so he passed the basketball out again.
As a point guard, the first priority should be to organize the offense, and that's understandable. But organizing an attack is not a passing of the ball.
When the team needs it, you pass a good ball, that's called playmaking. But when the team needs you to score, you pass the ball, that's called passing the buck.
The current Holiday clearly belongs to the latter.
Iguodala saw that Holiday didn't attack for a long time, so he picked up the basketball himself and went to the basket.
However, Peja's height advantage still adds a lot of difficulty to Iguodala's attack, and Iguodala is definitely a star, and a very practical star that every team aspires to have. But he is by no means a super scorer. With Peja's height pressing and Chandler's timely block, Iguodala missed a layup surrounded by two.
The 76ers lost another chance to score, and basketball gave Yiyang, and the hearts of all 76ers fans were beating wildly. They are not excited, they are afraid!
Yiyang, who had just completed a high-speed run and successfully scored, advanced slowly and unhurriedly this time. Whatever the team needs Yiyang to do, Yiyang can stand up in time. Perhaps, the biggest gap between Holiday and Yiyang is not the arm span of a few centimeters, but this is the biggest difference between him and Holiday.
"Push up, force up!" Seeing that Holiday gave Yiyang a few steps of space with some fear, Collins, the arrogant former champion, was angry. If a guy like Yiyang is allowed to move freely, then it will be more difficult to defend later.
Holiday hesitated for a moment before moving his steps forward. If he forces Yiyang from the beginning, then Yiyang may really be very tricky. But he made a decision after hesitation, and it was a real opportunity for Yiyang.
Holiday stepped forward, and Yiyang suddenly accelerated. The two of them are moving in different directions, and if Holiday wants to block Yiyang, he must quickly change his center of gravity.
But no matter how fast Holiday turns, can he get past Yiyang's breakthrough? Seeing this murderous guy hit the restricted area again, the 76ers' defense began to shrink unconsciously.
"No, no! Watch your own counterpoint and don't shrink! Collins shouted from the sidelines, but before the players could react, Yiyang's ball had already been passed.
Nowitzki caught the ball from 45° outside the left three-point line, and this was the second time he received a ball from Yiyang here today. And both times, it was a chance for Dirk to get after Yiyang broke through to attract the defense.
Nowitzki took the basketball out of his hands as if he were in shooting drill. This orange-red basketball is like a precise depth charge, "bursting" in the basket, blowing up a "white wave".
Dirk's three-pointer undoubtedly made up for the 76ers, who had been beaten to the brim. With an 8-point difference, Collins, who originally hoped to establish an advantage, is now about to be suppressed by the Mavericks.
Without hesitation, the former champion defender called the game off. As the players walked off the court, Collins felt like he had traveled back in time to the end of the first quarter.
One by one, his players hung their heads and remained silent, as if they had lost the game. Everything was almost exactly the same as it was at the end of the first quarter. The only difference is that, this time around, Collins may not be able to motivate his players so easily.
Yiyang and Dirk's beautiful goals have already broken the hearts of this group of guys.
After the timeout, 76ers fans were hoping for a better game. But when Jodi. After Meeks' mid-range shot added another rebound to Yiyang's stats, people fell to the brink of despair.
But the 76ers fans didn't stay on the brink of despair for long, because Yiyang, who controlled the ball and advanced after grabbing the rebound, finally managed to cut through a series of playmaking and running without the ball, and finally managed to get a sneak attack from Peja's accurate through pass.
The score difference on the court was turned into 10 points by Yiyang, and the fans of the 76ers were completely pushed into the abyss of despair by Yiyang!
Collins sighed helplessly off the court, Holiday was good enough, but he was still overwhelmed by Yiyang. Is this the difference between the third and seventeenth picks in the draft? So why didn't their second place go so well?
"Hey." With a sigh, it seemed that even Corinth's blood began to cool.
After the game, it didn't look like Reggie. Miller and Chris. As Webb predicted, it was the final goal that would determine the winner.
Although the 76ers have been biting the score, no matter how hard they try, they have never been able to see the hope of victory.
Yiyang's all-round performance made Holiday completely sink in the second half of the game. Rebounds, assists, steals or scoring on his own, Yiyang has done a very good job. That's why Kidd didn't worry about winning the game at all at halftime. He had long seen that Yiyang's current state was not something that could be defeated by any person.
?? Collins looked at his watch, and before he knew it, the game was in the eighth minute of the fourth quarter, and the 76ers were still trailing by 10 points.
"Did you throw in the towel? Doug? Collins muttered to himself in his mind, then shook his head silently.
After that, Collins was replaced by Luis Brown, a brawler who averaged 13 points per game. Williams, and pushed Holiday to the second position.
Reggie. Miller glanced at Collins on the court, and he knew what this decision meant - Holiday was going to be forced to avoid the Mavericks' No. 1 guard, which at best was called a "tactical shift" and at worst it was "escape"!
When Holiday avoided Yiyang, his confidence really soared, and his performance also picked up. And Williams, who ran into Yiyang, was not so lucky, this guy who was defended by Yiyang and only hit one of the four shots in three minutes, deeply realized how difficult it was for Holiday to play on the court before.
Although Holiday has improved his performance, Helpless Yiyang's performance has not been affected in any way. The Mavericks still hold the lead, and the 76ers have less and less time left.
Collins sighed as he watched Yiyang on the court snatch an offensive rebound on the head of an exhausted Hoyce for his tenth rebound of the day and assist Peja for a three-pointer.
"We lost." The champion defender muttered to himself again, then stumbled back to the bench.
"The game is over, even though there is still a minute left in the game, but in fact the game is over! Coach Carlisle replaced Yi, the guard who scored 26 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds was undoubtedly the main contributor to the Mavericks' victory today. You're not mistaken, and I'm not wrong, and today I cut down three doubles! Ladies and gentlemen, a yellow-skinned Jason. Kidd, born in Philadelphia! ”
76ers fans fell silent. Miller's voice became the only thing alive in the stands.
