One Guard

The game was suspended and the ATT center was terribly quiet. Major TV stations are replaying the footage of Yiyang just dangling Parker and shooting easily. Under the Spurs' defense like a bronze wall and iron wall, Yiyang's desire to score is very high.

Everyone is talking about Yiyang's beautiful performance, of course, except for San Antonio fans. Watching him dangle Parker to finish shooting, the fans here are even more cruel to him.

"Next, we will open up more space. You have unlimited right to fire. I allow you to shoot anytime and anywhere. Of course, things like shooting against Green’s defense just now, it’s better to do less. Tonight, let's end this **** losing streak in San Antonio!" Carlisle clearly saw Yiyang's good state today. When a star catches a fever, the wisest thing to do is not to suppress it, but to let it continue. Play. Maybe, he can bring you an unexpected victory.

Yiyang nodded silently, and no one else in the Mavericks had any opinion on giving Yiyang unlimited power to fire. If this guy can't have unlimited firepower, then who has such a qualification?

The timeout soon ended. When the Spurs players re-appeared on the field, the fans in the ATT Center gave them the warmest cheers to cheer the players. Even so, the players of the Spurs are still a little unsure. I hope that the short pause time can interrupt Yiyang's fiery momentum.

Once the timeout came back, Danny Green made a steady three-pointer from the outside. His three-pointer undoubtedly stabilized the Spurs' military spirit and gave ATT fans a little confidence.

But before their cheers lasted long, Yiyang relentlessly told them to shut their mouths again.

After the timeout, the Spurs' defense against Yiyang was indeed tighter. After breaking through Parker, Leonard immediately made up his defense and almost achieved zero jet lag.

However, Yiyang still did not stop. He continued to lean on Leonard for a layup, the ball naturally did not score, but the referee blew Leonard a foul.

In this way, Yiyang easily got two free throw opportunities, and his scoring momentum continued. Popovich naturally fought with the referee again, but even so, there is no way to change the fact that Yiyang continues to score.

When the offensive end is taken over by Yiyang alone, other Mavericks players can also focus more on the defensive end. Although Danny Green made a three-pointer as soon as he came up, this does not mean that the Spurs can always score easily.

This time, Duncan still sits inside and continues to ask for the ball. In the past few minutes, he has been the most consistent scoring point for the Spurs.

Although Gobert did not directly confront Duncan, he still increased his vigilance and was ready to make up for defense at any time. He was replaced in advance just to stop Duncan!

Duncan didn't care much about the French rookie, he believed Split could help him stop him. As a result, "Stone Buddha" began to sit back again, and today his back-up singles made Nowitzki very uncomfortable.

Duncan stepped back, Nowitzki had to use top defense to stop Duncan. Top defense is indeed a very effective way to defensively push forward, but it has a fatal flaw, that is, it is extremely easy to be turned around by the flexible inside line!

The experienced Duncan naturally understood what medicine Nowitzki was selling in the gourd. He suddenly turned around, and Nowitzki, whose center of gravity was too high, staggered forward and almost fell. Duncan passed Dirk again. clean.

But this time, when Duncan turned around, what greeted him was not the undefended basket, nor the powerless Dalembert, but the energetic and energetic Gobert with fire in his eyes!

For a moment, Duncan, who did not fluctuate in his heart, felt a little nervous, and he was suppressed by Gobert's aggressive appearance. But soon Duncan regained his calm again and threw his shots high.

Gobert jumped up, his height almost sealed the basket. In order to avoid blocking, Duncan had to increase the arc of the throw. However, once this arc is added, the hit rate cannot be guaranteed.

The basketball successfully passed Gobert, but was turned away by the basket. The fans of the San Antonio Spurs all held their heads in their hands. That little guy, he actually guarded Duncan!

"Rudy Gobert, his defense is really impressive! This guy is now very similar to that year. Although he is a substitute, his strength is not worse than the starting. Coach Carlisle's substitution was very successful. He didn't let him. Duncan continues to behave on the inside!"

Mike Brin cast an appreciative look at Gobert, even though he was only a rookie at the end of the round. But his strength is very amazing. I have to admit that the guy Cuban has picked up another treasure.

Defending Duncan, Gobert immediately took off twice and grabbed the rebound firmly. The French didn't hesitate and passed straight from the backcourt!

"Counterattack, the Mavericks' best defensive counterattack is here again!"

Yiyang rode a thousand, this time, even Leonard couldn't immediately follow Yiyang's footsteps. A fast break was formed in an instant, Yiyang easily dunked, and the point difference was widened to 8 points!

"Damn it!" Popovich gritted his teeth. He couldn't blame anyone for this shot. Duncan has done his best, and the tacit understanding between Yiyang and Gobert is indeed very good. Could it be that the Spurs can't stop the Chinese even if they do their best now?

8 points difference, which is very dangerous for the Spurs. But Popovich just finished calling the timeout, and he has to wait for the players to adjust.

The Spurs renewed their offense, but even the old churros like Parker felt that in front of this tight defense, the Spurs would not get the slightest chance.

Yiyang, Tony Allen, Iguodala, Gobert... what a fantastic defensive lineup. Even Nowitzki, the “worst” defensive player, is actually above the pass line, but Duncan’s offense is too strong.

Undecided, Parker turned his head and looked at Popovich. Popovich's gesture was very obvious, letting Parker continue to hit the ball inside!

The French have long known that their compatriots are very famous in the French league, but he didn't expect this guy to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA so quickly.

In order to create a chance for Duncan, Parker did not pass the ball directly this time, he called Split pick-and-roll, and then broke through.

As a result, Splitter mentioned a high position and could pull Gobert out of the penalty area. Secondly, after attracting firepower, he can create better opportunities for Duncan.

Parker broke into the penalty area and took off directly. Nowitzki had to jump up, but in the air, Parker gave the ball to Duncan.

At this point, Nowitzki has been attracted by Parker, and Duncan has almost no possibility of being blocked. Unless, Yiyang once again offered the miracle of chasing after the body.

Duncan made a layup without hesitation after receiving the basketball. But when the basketball was just shot, someone flying from behind was slammed to the backboard!

The basketball rebounded suddenly and fell into Yiyang's hands. That being the case, it was not Yiyang who had just blocked Duncan, but Gobert, who drove back to the penalty area from the mid-range position!

"Fantastic Rudy, when he opened his long arms, it seemed that every corner of the court could be covered by him! The French defended Duncan twice in a row. This will be his battle of fame!"

Duncan looked back in surprise and looked at the rookie with the word "passion" on his face. Is it possible that there will be another inside monster in this alliance? The three-second zone of this alliance is really getting harder and harder to mix.

Gobert defended, Yiyang attacked. This time, Yiyang was directly overturned by Danny Green's deliberate foul. Of course, intentional foul and malicious foul are two completely different concepts.

The malicious foul was the one that Yiyang got Pachulia, and it hurt people. Intentional fouling is a defensive method that the defender has to foul.

So when Yiyang lost his center of gravity and fell down, Danny Green stretched out his hand and put Yiyang gently on the ground.

After Yiyang got up, he also patted Danny Green's **** to show his gratitude. It is the best state of competitive sports to treat the ball to the wrong person.

Although Green successfully prevented Yiyang from making a fast break, Yiyang's performance on the free throw line still made no mistakes.

With 2 free throws, Yiyang did not give the Spurs any chance to breathe. The 10-point difference was finally suppressed, making Popovich feel out of breath on the sidelines.

So far, Yiyang scored an outstanding performance of 10 points in a single quarter just over half of the first quarter. Although the Mavericks' offense basically relies on Yiyang alone, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Sometimes, the firepower of Yiyang alone is likely to be stronger than that of an entire team!

Under Gobert's deterrence ~www.readwn.com~ the Spurs' idea of ​​forcing the inside to play is naturally unworkable. Popovich took advantage of the opportunity of Yiyang's free throw to replace Ginobili, the Argentine "demon knife", hoping to increase the Spurs' attack points on the field.

However, how can the Mavericks' perimeter defense be a vegetarian? Leonard's shot was almost blocked by Iguodala, and Leonard, who was not good at shooting, naturally failed to score. As I said before, Iguodala and Leonard, neither of these two guys should take advantage of each other. It is difficult for Iguodala to score under Leonard's defense, and it is also very difficult for Leonard to score on Iguodala.

Gobert drove Duncan away and steadily protected the defensive rebound. Although the French boy's skills are rough, but at least he can run and jump, and his rebounding and defensive abilities are indeed very strong.

The Spurs' offense failed again, and the Mavericks' defense suffered last year's Western Conference champion. And Yiyang's offense can turn excellent defense into scoring.

When Yiyang used his breakthrough to attract defense and instead assisted Nowitzki to hit a mid-range shot, Popovich's Spurs had fallen behind the Mavericks by as much as 12 points. After playing for so long, the Spurs have not scored more than double digits.

After this first quarter game, the Spurs did not slow down. Although both sides sent a second team at the end of the first quarter, the situation has not changed a bit.

In the end, the score in the first quarter was fixed at 30-15, and the Spurs trailed by 15 points. It is worth mentioning that Yiyang's personal score is the same as the Spurs' team score in the first quarter.

Popovich yelled furiously from the sidelines, and the white-haired old man also hopes to use this way to motivate the team to perform better.

But what the old man didn’t know was that Yiyang’s performance was just beginning...
