Chapter 538: The Cowboy's Back Garden

On the basketball court, the players stand in two piles at opposite ends of the court. Rockets players wearing white home jerseys surrounded Howard, for fear that the hello would go berserk again. On the other side, the Mavericks players in dark green spare jerseys pulled Yiyang one by one. They weren't worried that Yiyang would be hurt, but that Howard would be beaten again......

Several referees studied the video at the technical table on the side of the court, and through the video, the referees will make a judgment on the conflict between Howard and Yiyang and give corresponding punishments. Carlisle was very nervous now, and no matter who provoked the incident, Yiyang's fist just now was solid in Howard's face. Yiyang's behavior, even if he was expelled from the game by the referee, Carlisle had nothing to say. But this game can't be without Yiyang.

Several referees interrupted the game for several minutes, watched the replay seven or eight times, and studied every little detail thoroughly. Eventually, they nodded to each other, and the players knew that the referee had agreed!

Carlisle watched nervously as the referee walked up to Yiyang, and he prayed to God in his heart that he would not let this child go!

The referee walked up to Yiyang and made a "technical foul" action. Then, there is no then. The referee turned and ran back, and his penalty for Yiyang was over.

"It was just a technical foul, and the Dallas Mavericks fans can now put their minds at ease. At least for now, he is not in danger of being sent out. "Barkley himself breathed a sigh of relief, and if this game didn't have Yiyang, the excitement would definitely be greatly reduced.

Just as Howard was still complaining that the punishment for a technical foul was too light for Yiyang, the referee ran up to him and blew Howard a T.

At this point, Howard was completely confused. The person who was obviously beaten himself, how could he still eat technical fouls after being beaten?

The entire Toyota Center immediately erupted in boos, and fans pleaded Howard's case in this way. However, the referee ignored it. On the surface, Howard seems to be the losing party, but the referees who watched the replay seven or eight times have not forgotten the trash talk he sprayed before being beaten and the moment when he smashed Yiyang's face with the ball. In fact, Yiyang's beating was enough for the referee to expel him from the game, but considering the cause and effect of the whole thing, the referees took it lightly.

A slap didn't make a sound, and the referee knew very well that Howard was not as innocent as he seemed.

At this point, Howard was quite depressed. He was also beaten, but in the end he did not escape the punishment of a technical foul. And now that he has two ordinary fouls, if he wants to go on the court to make a shame, he will have to wait for the second quarter to start at the earliest.

With a stomach full of grumbling, Howard walked off the court with a curse and sat down on the bench. Yiyang looked at Howard and deliberately showed a smug smile.

Remember, Dwight, that's what happened against me.

※※※

As soon as Howard got off the court, the Mavericks immediately lost a big problem. McHale had to put Asik back in the number five position and then switch to the 2.06m tall Israeli striker Cosby to play the role of number four.

In terms of height, these two white players don't seem to have much problem playing inside. But it's clear to everyone that these two guys play inside, and the Rockets' interior defense is as fragile as tissue paper! Asik has height, but his ability to protect the frame is better than nothing. What about Casby? He's actually a shooter-type small forward and isn't good at interior defense.

"Playing inside, give me opportunities close to the basket!" Carlisle wasn't going to let go of this opportunity, and with a big wave of his hand, the players launched a charge at the Rockets' interior.

Although Howard's form plummeted after a disappointing Lakers career last season, you have to admit that his role on the court is still huge. When he was there, everyone on the Mavericks was at least a little afraid of the three-second zone. But without Howard, the paint area guarded by the Rockets became the Mavericks' backyard entirely.

Yiyang easily shook off Asik with a European step and hit a layup in full view. The defender felt as easy as if he was practicing in the training gym, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of defensive pressure. Asik's 2.13-meter-tall Turkish center forward is like a sculpture in the back garden of Yiyang's house, and it plays a completely decorative role.

Dozens of seconds later, Nowitzki sat inside and scored on a hook. There was simply nothing to be done with Kasby's attack against Nowitzki, both sides were too far apart in terms of weight and height.

After switching to the Rockets offense, Tony. Allen's defense against Harden made the bearded man struggle very much. If it weren't for Harden's miraculous shots from several defensive shots, the Rockets would have been leading by double digits by now.

Even with Harden struggling to support, the Rockets' disadvantage is irreparable. Is the point gap about to be narrowed? Let's go to Team Rocket's three-second zone. Did Harden hit porcelain again? Go to Team Rockets' three-second zone and get two points back.

Asik and Cosby became the two most seen by the Rockets in the first quarter, as most of the Mavericks' scoring came from this guy.

Until the Mavericks switched to the second lineup, the Rockets' three-second zone was still restless. Gobert grabbed offensive rebounds again and again, which made Nick . Yang, this guy has the capital of prodigal shooting. Don't talk about it, Nick. As long as Yang's wave shot can hit two or three, it will be considered earned.

There was no way, and Harden had to play the entire quarter to stabilize the score at 27-21 at the end of the first quarter. The Dallas Mavericks took a six-point lead with ease.

If McHale replaces Harden halfway through, the consequences will be even more dire. The 12-minute game has already made Harden sweat. If Harden plays like this for the entire game, sooner or later his offensive stability will decline due to physical reasons. McHale shook his head helplessly, he only expected Howard to carry the load in the next game.

"You played really well in the first quarter, the Rockets were already in the box and we were in a lot of holes. But as soon as the second quarter starts, McHale will definitely let Harden rest first and get Howard back on the court to lead the team forward. When the time comes, I hope you ......"

Carlisle said this, and the players thought he was hoping to change the focus of the attack from the inside to the outside. After all, with Howard guarding the restricted area, it is impossible to be as loose as it was just now. But Carlisle's final decision surprised everyone.

“...... When the time comes, I hope you continue to storm each other's inside lines! ”

The players all looked up in surprise, with Howard here, and still storming the inside?

"Dwight has already had two fouls, and to be honest I don't want to see that guy jumping around like a clown on the court. So, to make as much damage as possible, we're going to use James. Harden's approach to finish Dwight. Howard. Again, this task is up to you. In the second quarter, I want you to increase the number of individual offenses. Duoduo broke through and broke Howard down, this is the order. ”

Yiyang nodded and didn't say much. Defeat Howard? I can't ask for it! Just used the fist, now, let's use the basketball!

※※※

"Dwight, you're going to get the ball! I just need you to do one thing, close that damn gap! Before the break, McHale was still anxiously arranging his tactics, and as soon as he finished speaking, the referee had already urged them to hurry up.

Howard stood up confidently, and Harden was temporarily rested, and now, the entire Rockets team revolved around him. He wants the world to take a good look at whether the league's No. 1 center is dead in California!

By the time Howard returned to the court, his opponent had changed from the aging Damham Porter to the young Gobert. Seeing the Frenchman on the court, Howard was even more energetic. Pick a rookie and want to replace me? I have to say that Kuban, your idea is really "wonderful"! Today, he is going to bury this rookie completely!

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks attacked first. Yiyang held the ball and advanced by himself, but the speed was still not fast. Now, Howard is no longer as wary of Yiyang as he was just now, because his passing has given too many people easy scoring opportunities.

Yiyang doesn't seem to plan to break through by himself, if he can score without stepping into the three-point line, who would bother to rush into the inside hand-to-hand combat.

Yiyang turned his head to look at Marion, and slapped the ball to the ground with his right hand, as if he was going to hit the ball.

At the moment when the basketball was about to break away from Yiyang's palm, his wrist flipped outward extremely quickly! The basketball changed its trajectory, and the ground-hitting pass instantly became a one-handed pass!

The fake fax was sudden, and Yiyang's unpredictable feints didn't give Jeremy Lin any time to react at all. When Jeremy Lin moved sideways to block Yiyang, Yiyang had already surpassed Jeremy Lin by half a position.

Jeremy Lin during Lin's crazy period was no match for Yiyang, and now, the gap between the two is even greater.

"Just in time!" Howard became excited, and this time, he swore that he would make Yiyang pay!

Yiyang looked at Howard, who rushed to the penalty area from the left side to make up for the defense, did not slow down, but jumped directly after stepping into the three-second zone with one foot!

"Kill yourself!" Howard let out a low roar and "took off" again. The height of his jump made Yiyang startled. I didn't expect this guy to be so good at jumping now.

Howard's hand slammed into the basketball, and the block was bound for him! Just when Howard's palm was only a few centimeters away from the basketball, the basketball "disappeared out of thin air"!

It turned out that it was Yiyang who changed his layup posture in the air. Originally holding the basketball high, he pulled the ball down and turned a layup into a pick-and-roll basket.

In this way, Yiyang dodged the cover, and the basketball was lightly picked into the frame. In the air, Howard's shoulder inadvertently hit Yiyang, knocking Yiyang to the ground.

This time, the referee didn't blow the whistle and he thought it was a reasonable rush. But Yiyang didn't complain, can you escape once or twice, can you escape in a whole quarter of the game?

As a result, the entire second quarter of the game made the fans addicted. Yiyang entered the inside line again and again to challenge Howard, and the direct dialogue between the two made the excitement of this game high.

Pick-and-roll, throw, pull-up...... Yiyang used everything he knew to play well under Howard's guarded basket. Howard was annoyed, and he couldn't understand why the Chinese could always "just happen" to avoid his own defenses. However, in fact, Yiyang's those are not "just right", but the return of sweat behind the scenes.

Howard, on the other hand, was expected to be dumb on the offensive end. Rudy. Gobert's defense gave Howard a taste of the power of a new generation, and in the face of Gobert, who can reach a height of 2.29 meters with his arms raised, Howard's simple and rough style of play seems to be a little ineffective.

The first time he faced Gobert, Howard thought he could score easily, but his reckless forced layup was ruthlessly fanned out of the box by Gobert. That's right, it's fan-out. In the past, Howard treated others like this, but today, he finally experienced the feeling of being bloodied.

Do you think being blocked will make Howard calmer? If it were, he wouldn't be called Howard.

After being blocked, Howard became even more agitated. He wanted to score on Gobert's head and block Yiyang's layup. This desire made him more and more anxious. Pressed by two pressures, Howard felt like he was running out of breath.

As a result, Howard's performance continued to decline and was a mess. On the offensive end, Gobert's defense disgraced the former superpower center. Defensively, Yiyang's all-around skills allow him to always find ways to dodge defenses.

The point difference was not narrowed by Howard, but there was a tendency to be pulled apart. However, misfortune does not come alone.

Four minutes into the second quarter, Yiyang's efforts finally paid off. During a breakaway layup, Yiyang nimbly dodged away from Howard and prepared to jump to the frame. As Howard has become more and more anxious, the quality of his defense has actually been declining.

But this time, Howard didn't let Yiyang score. The angry "Warcraft" directly got started and pushed Yiyang down.

Although the fall was painful, after hearing the referee's whistle, Yiyang still showed a relieved smile.

Howard collapsed, both on the court and on the inside, this guy collapsed today. He started fouling, which meant he started beating himself.

3 fouls, which was enough to tie Howard's hands and feet. The Rockets fouled again, and McHale called a halt to the game immediately after Yiyang's free throw, and McHale's disappointment was hard to hide when Howard went off the court.

It's no wonder that the Dallas Mavericks "refused to receive the goods" in the summer, behind everything, there is a reason.

Howard covers his head with a towel, and you can't see what his expression is now. But one thing is for sure, the "happy beast" will not be able to laugh.
