Chapter Seventy-Nine: I Can't See Through It
~
The first quarter of the game was completely within the realm of Yang Yi's domination, and no matter what people thought, Yang Yi's performance really conquered them.
They also couldn't understand why a guy stronger than Dwayne Johnson could display such explosive abilities on the field.
Aren't the so-called devil spirit men all famous for their defensive ability? At the beginning, Ben Wallace and Carl Malone were both well-known devil spirit people, but they failed to show Yang Yi's courage to dominate both offensive and defensive ends.
The first quarter is Yang Yi's time, which belongs to the exclusive glory of this season's regular season MVP. No one in the Spurs Big Three escaped his clutches, and they were all planted in the first quarter.
Spurs fans were also watching the game, and when Spurs traveled from San Antonio, they thought it would be a slaughter. Of course, Spurs fans have this kind of confidence, they watched Duncan take over the class of the Sea Generals, leading the Spurs to the peak of glory, and they have been in the league for more than ten years, and they can't go anywhere. For the Pelicans, a group of young troops with no playoff experience, they still don't have any 9 problems.
However, no one expected that Yang Yi would burst out with such dominance at home. I didn't see how much force he used, but he was able to find key clues at the most critical moments, and the Spurs were overwhelmed at both offensive and defensive ends.
Yang Xiaoqian has been a Spurs fan for about a year, and he is also watching this Western Conference final, which fans around the world are paying attention to. He naturally recognizes Yang Yi, no, it's not that he knows, who doesn't know Yang Yi in the Chinese basketball world now.
Yang Yi is simply a superstar in the world basketball world, at least in Asia, and his deeds have long been talked about by fans and sung endlessly.
It's just that although Yang Yi and Yang Xiaoqian may have been one family five hundred years ago, for some reason, he just doesn't agree with Yang Yi, who has risen rapidly in the alliance. Perhaps, he thinks that a guy of Yang Yi's age is not very reliable in the league, which is full of superstars! His friends around him are all fans of Yang Yi, and many of Yang Yi's deeds are almost calloused when he hears his friends.
However, Yang Xiaoqian thinks that his friends are pseudo-fans and don't understand the true connotation of a team, they only know which team is strong and which team they will pursue, and which team can become their after-dinner conversation, and they will support it.
Sometimes he also thinks that if the Pelicans didn't have Yang Yi, who led the Pelicans to rise rapidly, his friends might not even know which team the Pelicans are, nor where the Pelicans' headquarters are.
This is quite an ironic question, everyone knows that the advantage is avoided and the strong are trampled on the weak, but can their fanatical pursuit of Yang Yi really change the situation of the Pelicans in the playoffs? Yang Xiaoqian thinks it can't!
You must know that the Spurs are stronger than the Pelicans, and the Spurs have won four championships so far, including 03, 05, and 07 won three championships for five consecutive years, and the Megatron League; And what about the Pelicans! Not to mention the number of championships, let's just say that entering the Western Conference finals is also an achievement that has only been achieved this year.
In terms of the strength of the team, the Spurs have a coaching staff headed by Popovich, a GDP led by Duncan, supplemented by strong bench players; And what about the Pelicans! Head coach Williams was still out of the Spurs as an assistant coach. In terms of player lineup, there is only Yang Yi as the core, and it is also the point with the strongest firepower output, as long as this point is blocked, the Spurs will win, and the Pelicans have no chance of winning.
Yang Xiaoqian also believes that the Spurs can easily beat the Pelicans, whether at home or away. It's hard to say about a sweep, but a strong win is still expected.
It's just that Yang Xiaoqian never thought that how the Spurs could play such a good hand so badly. Not only was the whole section pressed and beaten by the Pelicans, but to be precise, it was pressed and beaten by Yang Yi, and there was no power to resist at all; And no matter how head coach Popovich adjusts, it doesn't work, and the Spurs use a lot of methods, such as timeouts to interrupt the Pelicans' pursuit of victory, such as constantly changing tactics, etc.
But these did not have the slightest effect in the face of Yang Yi's thunderbolt methods, Yang Yi was naturally able to easily break the layout of the spurs like a cocoon, like a scalpel, and dismembered the spurs by the way.
Yang Yiqian didn't know what the reason was, he had also seen Yang Yi's video before, but Yang Yi was not so strong at all. Or is it ...... Yang Yiqian spun around in his mind, and he remembered some of the things his friends said, about some of Yang Yi's characteristics: his strength improved very quickly, there were always endless moves, and people couldn't study it thoroughly......
In short, Yang Yi's appearance on the best stage in the basketball field is simply a fog. Even his fans don't know how powerful their idol will be in the next game. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Yang Yi's fan group will grow geometrically. After all, what cannot be seen through is the most mysterious, and it will have a foggy charm.
In such an era of information explosion, Yang Yi's sense of mystery is compared with the performance of other stars who have news from time to time, which is simply a bottomless black hole, attracting everyone's attention. Coupled with his strong prowess, any news about him can make people rush to it.
Popovich's current mood is almost the same as Yang's, and before coming to New Orleans, an area that has not produced any superstars, he and his coaching staff have collected all the news and data about the Pelicans and Yang Yi, especially everything about Yang Yi that no one can see. Regardless of the edited video, the characteristics of the players collected, and the tactics used to restrain the opponent, Popovich is aimed at the Pelicans' core Yang Yi.
It's just that all of this pales in the first verse. Everything they carefully prepared didn't work for Yang Yi at all, but was beaten to the ground by Yang Yi's unknown ability, or the ability that he suddenly showed.
The break between the first and second sessions is short and is mainly used to show ads to those partners. Of course, the managers of both sides can also make some adjustments according to the current form.
Compared with Popovich's constant scratching of his head, Williams is happy, he didn't know that Yang Yi would put such a big move in the playoffs. Also, Yang Yi hadn't shown super learning ability for a long time, and the weapons in his arsenal were almost exhausted. In other words, Yang Yi has been stirring up trouble in the league for so long, and it is time to run into the rookie wall.
Williams didn't expect that Yang Yi would hold back such a big move after holding it for so long, and he would beat the team like a playoff hegemon without any power to fight back.
And looking at Yang Yi's appearance, he was not out of breath or as high-spirited as he imagined, but there was just a faint calmness, which did not belong to his age.
