23 to 20, in the youth storm of Yiyang and Hayward, the fierce confrontation between the two sides in the first quarter of the game made the fans addicted. The excellent performances of Yiyang and Hayward made Stevens in front of the TV stand up and raise his arms to cheer for his two disciples as if he was on the scene.

"Jerry. Coach Sloan really has a good eye, and today he suddenly increased Hayward's playing time, and it turned out that the young white forward really lived up to Coach Sloan's expectations. With seven points and two assists in a single quarter, the Jazz probably wouldn't have just trailed by three points now without Hayward. I'm looking forward to seeing how Coach Sloan will push Hayward's potential to the fullest in the games that follow. ”

Although Mike on the commentary seat. Brin is caught by Jerry. Sloan was blissfully praised, but in fact the old man himself was pleasantly surprised that Hayward was able to perform as well as training in the official competition.

But he also knows that a large part of that is because the Mavericks didn't do anything to guard against Hayward. Look at Marion's absent-minded defense against Hayward, if Marion's defensive titan is woken up by Carlisle, then the rest of the game will only get harder for Hayward.

Sloan didn't dare to take any chances, so he decided to hit the ball into the hands of someone who was more sure.

Looking at Jerry. Sloan set up tactics for his two twin towers, and Hayward was still a little disappointed in his heart. He had already performed so well, but Sloane didn't even praise him.

Carlisle, on the other hand, is a completely different coach than Sloan. He doesn't ignore his rookie players, but reuses them.

"In the second quarter, I want you to focus more on the defensive end! Limit Delong. Williams, don't let him score comfortably. This guy has been having a lot of trouble with Sloan lately, and if he behaves out of style, maybe Sloan will just put him on the bench. Also, be smart and don't be deceived by his change of pace. Carlisle was the first to talk to Yiyang, who nodded slightly, maybe many young defenders have a strong desire to attack and disdain defense. But for Yiyang, defense is just as important as offense.

Make all the adjustments, and the break is almost over. Players from both sides re-entered the court, Yiyang replaced Kidd as the starter in the second quarter, and Hayward, who performed well in the first quarter, was snubbed off the bench by Sloan. It seems that Hayward's performance in the first quarter of the game still can't make Sloane, who has never trusted the rookies much, change his mind.

Yiyang doesn't have time to complain about Hayward now, and the chubby Jazz No. 8 in front of him is the target that Yiyang should worry about now.

In the first quarter of the game, Yiyang was more often in the game with Laga. Bell, that old villain duel. But Delong and Yiyang also reigned with him for a short time.

For this defender, Yiyang's evaluation in his heart is smart. While Delon has a great scoring ability himself, Delon is still the kind of point guard who puts passing first. At least in this regard, Delong and Yiyang are still very similar.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Jazz took the lead in attacking. Delong. As soon as Williams gestured past halftime, Yiyang lowered his center of gravity and stretched out his arms in front of the No. 8.

Delong had already heard the old man say that he should be careful of that tanhua show, and his ears almost heard the cocoon. Therefore, he did not take it lightly, but faced this newcomer from China with his most serious attitude.

Delong suddenly straightened his waist, his steps paused, and he seemed to be about to break through, but his wrist suddenly shook!

The basketball flew past Yiyang's ears and flew to Laga, who came to pick it up. Bell in his hands. Bale received the ball and then quickly played the ball again, and Millsap, who was in the middle distance position, received the ball and threw it.

Nowitzki couldn't keep up with the blistering pace and was hit by Millsap, who was also good at shooting.

As soon as the second quarter began, Delon executed Sloan's tactics well. Let the interior line be the endpoint, and although Delon did not have a direct assist, he helped his teammates to complete everything.

Delong can deceive Yiyang with the change of his own rhythm, and Yiyang also has his own advantage, that is, speed!

DeLong's lateral movement is not fast, and if you add a little pick-and-roll, it will not be difficult to break through his defense. This point has long been practiced by Yiyang in the first quarter with a violent dunk after a breakthrough.

But in the second quarter of the game, the Jazz's defense against Yiyang was significantly strengthened. Jerry. Sloan isn't the kind of manager who watches opposing players score and remains indifferent. Even with a fall, Jerry. Sloan is going to limit you too!

This time, Yiyang once again borrowed the block to break through "De Fat", but when he passed his own position, he found that Al was originally defending Chandler. Jefferson switched to himself. At the same time, Delon crossed in front of Chandler and blocked Yiyang's route to Chandler's pass.

Yiyang looked at Chandler, only to see the fingers of Chandler's left hand pointing lightly to the sky.

The number one immediately understood, looking in the direction of Nowitzki on the left, but throwing the ball directly into the air with his hand.

Al. Jefferson didn't know what Yiyang wanted to do, but he raised his arms aloft anyway. Watching the ball pass Jefferson's fingertips, Delon as a point guard immediately understood the intention of the ball. But Chandler behind Delon was already leaping high, and it was too late!

With a huge height gap, Delon didn't intercept the basketball, Chandler firmly grasped Yiyang's pass with both hands in the air, and then slammed it directly into the frame!

"Boom!" The basket let out a painful "moan", Tyson. Chandler landed and slapped himself on the chest. This beast seemed to be about to tear apart everything that stood in its way.

"On Yi's side, Tyson seems to be able to complete one or two aerial catches every game. The Jazz's change of defense this time is actually very beautiful, but Yi's passing will always find a weakness in the defense! ”

Delong. Williams shook his head, if Sloan asked him to limit Yiyang's scoring, he could pat his chest and say he could. But if you want him to limit Yiyang and not help the team score, it's almost impossible.

Two attacks, two goals. Although Delong and Yiyang did not score, the war between them has actually begun to become fierce.

Then the Jazz counterattacked, and Yiyang still stuck DeLong to death. Delong is the kind of defender who breaks through by rhythm, so Yiyang is not afraid that Delong will pass him in one step.

"Hmph, young man!" Seeing Yiyang defending himself like this, the corners of Delong's mouth curled slightly. He first slowly changed the ball from his left hand to his right hand, and Yiyang thought that Delong was just trying to push to the right.

However, in the next second, Delong, who was originally slow, suddenly changed direction to the left! The speed of this time and the sudden change in rhythm completely exceeded Yiyang's expectations.

But Yiyang didn't give up, and his sensitive nerves still forced his legs to move sideways to block. Yiyang succeeded, and instead of letting Delong slip directly away from him, he made physical contact with this guy.

But at this time, the advantage of Delon's "huge" body was shown. "De Fat", the top strength among the guards, made him squeeze Yiyang away, and then strode towards the inside.

Seeing this, Chandler immediately made up for the basket. Delon wasn't stupid enough to fight Chandler, he stepped into the three-second zone and used a soft throw to avoid confrontation with Chandler and successfully scored the ball!

"A Delon. Williams-style goals! "Mike. Brin was still reveling in Delon's masterful rhythmic changes, and his roars had sent that passion to every fan's living room.

DeLong looked at Yiyang after scoring the goal, as if to say: "Rookie, don't think that you can be so lucky every time, and you can just hit the star when he is not in good shape." ”

"Why don't I come?" Kidd, who was sitting on the sidelines, was a little uneasy when he saw this scene. Delong. Williams' breakaway is among the best in the league, and maybe he doesn't have as much speed as Wade and Paul, but a guy who can take advantage of rhythm is perhaps more terrifying than someone who just has speed.

DeLong thought that after the rookie was beaten by himself, he would definitely do his best to get back face. However, Yiyang's cold expression made Delong even wonder if this guy had any emotions at all.

Just when DeLong was ready to block Yiyang's breakthrough, Yiyang passed the ball out and gave it directly to Nowitzki, who was in a good position. Nowitzki singled Millsap, which was the easiest question to send off.

The German took two steps to trick Millsap into sitting back and then suddenly stepped back to shoot a jumper that left the Jazz's starting power forward too late to react. Naturally, the Mavericks held on to their lead once again.

Delon looked back and saw that the rookie guard had retreated to his own half, then lowered his center of gravity and spread his arms, waiting for his arrival.

"Damn!" Looking at the rookie who didn't have the slightest wave in his heart, Delong was a little anxious. As long as his opponent's mentality doesn't collapse, Delon knows that his offense will only get more and more difficult.

The second time, Delong used a quick start, stop and then rush to deceive Yiyang's center of gravity and successfully break through. But this time, Delong could clearly feel that Yiyang's reaction was much faster than just now, and the rookie was gradually adapting to his offensive rhythm!

This time, the Mavericks' lineup shrank faster, and although Delon couldn't score on his own, he still passed the ball to Kirilenko like a needle.

Kirilenko was somewhat intimidated by Hayward's performance in the first quarter, and he knew that if he went any deeper, he might lose his starting position.

So the Russian forward, who had experienced injuries and was past his prime, attacked the basket hard, relying on Marion to make a tough layup with his arm span.

Jerry. Sloan flicked his fist lightly, this was the offense his team should play! Hayward's kind of projection forward, Sloan really doesn't like it very much.

With Delong. Williams went from strength to strength, and the Jazz not only closed the gap, but also managed to complete the comeback in the eighth minute of the second quarter.

After that, although Kidd returned to the court, he still couldn't stop DeLong's crazy footsteps.

His scoring and assists left the Mavericks' defense in a mess. Yiyang has faced many star point guards so far, but this time against Delon, it is the only time that Yiyang has been completely blown up by a star.

At halftime, the score was 49-53, and the Jazz, who were three points behind, now returned to the locker room with a four-point lead.

At halftime, an ESPN reporter stopped Yiyang before he walked into the players' tunnel. Deron Williams scored 12 points and 6 assists in the half, while Yiyang only had 7 points and 4 assists. Although the data is not so big a gap, from the perspective of the scene, Yiyang is helpless against Delong at all. This huge contrast is why ESPN decided to interview Yiyang.

"What do you think of the first half of the game yourself being beaten by Delon. What about Williams completely suppressed? "In the face of a rookie, reporters will not save face for Yiyang. This question can be said to hit the nail on the head.

"It's not over yet." Yiyang dropped such a sentence and left the camera lens.

Maybe judging from the scene, Yiyang and even Kidd have nothing to do with Delong. But only DeLong himself knows that the pressure brought to him by the rookie who has no waves has become more and more great.

In the second half of the game, when Yiyang fully adapted to Delong's rhythm. DeLong himself didn't know if he could turn the tide.

As Yiyang said, the game is not over yet. Who will kill the deer, it is not certain......
