Chapter Ninety-Two: Outside Scoring Points
Nate. Robinson made a shot from beyond the three-point line, and the interference was very timely. The basketball slammed to the front of the basket, but Nate, this is the third consecutive time he misses a shot. ”
He also ignored Nate in front of him. Robinson made a direct pass, and the basketball flew over Nate's head and into Dirk's hands. Nowitzki faces Glenn. Davis' defensive rollover jumper! Pretty! Dirk is still so consistent, and his passes are fast and accurate! ”
"Nate. Robinson keeps pushing, and he wants to keep attacking! But...... Oh, we saw Coach Rivers call a timeout. The Celtics are now 11 points behind and he can't sit idly by. After the timeout, Coach Rivers should have taken all of the starting five. The difference of 11 points is not small. "Kenny. Smith looked at Rivers, who was yelling in the middle of the players, and he didn't have to listen to know how ugly the duck-voiced coach was at the moment.
"Nate!" After the players went off the field, Rivers took the lead to Nate Bush. Robinson in front of him. He wanted to reprimand the guy for his bad behavior, but on second thought, he shouldn't have done Nate. Robinson had too many expectations. Although there have been several crazy performances, although his dunks are always shocking. But Nate. Robinson, never really a superstar.
"You can rest first...... Everyone take a break, I'll put on five people, and all the starting five will play! Rivers opened his palm and gestured five fingers.
"How does it feel?" On the Mavericks' bench, Carlisle asked with concern about Kidd's calf.
"It still hurts, but you can fight!" Kidd stood up and staggered twice.
"Well, then, you should go down and rest for a while. From the first quarter of the game to now, you haven't stopped. Don't worry, we'll need you soon. After Carlisle finished speaking to Yiyang, he squatted among the players who were about to play and nervously arranged his tactics.
Yiyang gasped and drank the Gatorade drink in the paper cup in one gulp. Indeed, Yiyang has never played in a game for such a long time. Don't think it's a constraint on Nate. Robinson is a simple matter, and against that guy, Yiyang must also do his best.
When the game restarted, everyone was shocked to find that the elder Kidd was back on the court.
But Kidd, who shot 0-of-5 in the first quarter, didn't shoot again after re-entering the game.
While Kidd's organization is still sophisticated, the passing is still deadly. But with the exception of Nowitzki and Chandler, the Mavericks can't seem to find a third scoring spot.
Defensively, Kidd can limit Rondo with his experience and stature. But when Rondo ran and fought, old Kidd, who was dragging a sore leg, was also a little confused.
Seeing that the Celtics are about to move the game back before the end of the second quarter, Carlisle knows that no matter how legendary Kidd's previous resume is. Today, it was all a game that was not destined to belong to Kidd.
With Nowitzki's desperate defense, Garnett's turnaround jumper missed. The long-awaited "boxing champion" Tyson grabbed the rebound, the Mavericks got the ball, and Carlisle didn't wait for Kidd to control the ball over half court, and directly called a timeout.
After that, all the fans and cameras in the stadium saw Kidd limping off the field. No wonder Kidd is in such a bad state today, this time, the truth is all revealed.
"Damn it!" As he stepped off the court, Kidd gritted his teeth and cursed, the veteran feeling very unhappy with his performance.
Carlisle walked up and patted Kidd on the shoulder, saying nothing. The more powerful a player is, the harder it is to accept the fact that he is old. But this is also something that cannot be helped, times are always changing.
Carlisle glanced at the bench, and now among the people who are able to play, Deshane. Stevens, while very aggressive, is by no means a good scorer. Yiyang and Terry, the old and the young, became Carlisle's only choice.
"Come here, come here." Carlisle beckoned to Yiyang, letting him, who was standing on the periphery, walk into the middle.
'We're getting caught in the score, which doesn't bode well. Also, Jett, when you get on the court, I need you to open up the situation on the outside! No, I'm not saying that you want to shoot as much as you want, but that you can throw a combination and tear apart the Mavericks' defense. When the gap in their defense line grows, Dirk, deal a fatal blow to those green-clad guys! Carlisle finished and punched himself in the palm of his hand.
"Hey!" Just as Yiyang was about to turn around and step into the court, old Kidd, who was sitting on the bench and rubbing his calves, stopped the No. 1.
"Remember everything we did on the training ground, the game, it's up to you." Kidd's eyes were full of trust......
After the timeout, Rivers naturally saw Carlisle's substitution. Terry is a well-known "old nerve knife" too, DeSean. Stevens? Come on, no team is going to expect this guy to score. As for Yiyang, his weakness in shooting on the perimeter also made Rivers not too jealous.
So the champion coach waved his hand. "Continue to defend the inside line!"
Yi Yang had just walked through the halfway court and found that the Celtics' defensive focus was still on the inside. Their entire formation is relatively tight, and the purpose is to rather shoot from the outside and get everyone on the inside as quickly as possible.
Seeing Yiyang coming, Rondo did not press close to him like in the first quarter of the game, but let Yiyang take two steps. Yiyang immediately passed the ball to Terry, who did not hesitate and faced Ray two steps away. Aaron, pull it up and vote!
The basketball's trajectory was a little off, and sure enough, the basketball slammed into the left side of the basket. O'Neal Jr. was stuck in position and was about to grab the rebound, but a yellow afterimage suddenly came into view.
I saw Yiyang jump up high and hold the basketball that came out of the frame with one hand. O'Neal Jr.'s hands are still a few centimeters away from basketball, and after countless injuries, he is no longer the All-Star forward who can run and jump.
Yiyang successfully got the basketball before O'Neal Jr., and without waiting for the landing, he directly dunked hard in the air and completed a wonderful rebound!
"Wow, the speed of the inward cut and the height of the take-off are simply breathtaking! The young O'Neal, even though he has an advantage in height, still lost rebounds. ”
Doug on the sidelines. Rivers didn't have Kenny on the stage. Smith enjoyed it so much, and Rivers was naturally not happy to see the team complete the basket after being possessed by a ball.
After the Celtics' offense, Ray Ray. Allen received Garnett's pass and hit the ball against Terry's interference. With both the Big Three and Rondo on the floor, the Celtics' offensive firepower is quite terrifying.
In the next round, Yiyang still gave the ball directly to Terry after halftime, and Terry did not hold the ball too much, but passed it to Deshawn, who carried it to the front of the basket. Stevens.
Stevens didn't shoot and wasn't going to break through. He just turned sideways with the ball in one hand, and in the next second, Yiyang, who was running at great speed, suddenly rushed out and directly took the basketball in Stevens' hand.
After Yiyang took the ball away, Stevens took advantage of the situation and took a sideways shift and stopped Rondo, who was following behind.
"What would a beautiful hand-to-hand play between an outside player and now get rid of Rondo?"
Seeing that Rondo was stopped, Pierce, one of the Celtics' big three, had to change his defense. Pierce's resume is completely incomparable to the current Yiyang, and in terms of comprehensive strength, even the now aged Pierce is stronger than Yiyang.
But there is one thing that Yiyang will not suffer, and that is speed!
The experienced Pierce immediately moved sideways to block Yiyang's breakthrough route, this kind of stunned blue who likes to rampage, Pierce can see a lot!
Just as the two were about to collide with each other, Yiyang suddenly slowed down and slapped the basketball from his left hand to his right hand, and he planned to use a body forward change to pass Pierce.
"Carving insect skills!" Pierce immediately followed, although Yiyang's change of direction was very fast at the moment, Pierce could still handle it.
Just when everyone thought that Yiyang's attack was over, Yiyang, who had just changed the ball to his right hand, changed his hand again with a smooth back and changed to the left again!
Two consecutive changes of direction in the blink of an eye! This time made the elderly Pierce stumble under his feet and almost fall! Yiyang, on the other hand, successfully flashed past Pierce and went straight to the inside.
Under the exclamations of the audience, Yiyang broke through to the position of one step inside the free throw line. Facing Garnett and O'Neal Jr., who did not make up the defense but stuck to the penalty area, Yiyang jumped high and made a stop-and-go jumper!
The arc of the basketball is flat and the flight speed is also fast. Garnett and Jermaine. O'Neal both stuck in position, ready to scramble for the rebound.
However, the ball thrown by Yiyang fell straight into the net, two clean and neat points, Yiyang's ball from breakthrough to scoring, in one go, which is addictive!
"Oh my God, did you see the two successive changes of direction just now? This kid's breakthrough action made Pierce almost suffer a great humiliation! Fortunately, Pierce didn't fall, otherwise, he would have been able to blow this ball for the rest of his life! "Kenny. Smith couldn't help but applaud, at this moment, he even raised Yiyang to be the top pick in this year's draft!
"I don't know if you have found a problem, but the desire to score is stronger than the desire to pass. I don't know if this is Carlisle's arrangement or Yi's own decision, but I can see that Yi's ability to score independently is definitely not to be underestimated! "Mike from ESPN. Brin is not like Kenny. Smith is so serious, but his words did make fans notice a little different.
Yiyang's consecutive scoring has improved the Mavericks' problem of too few offensive points. In the next few minutes, Yiyang was a combination of offense and passing, allowing the Mavericks to play an excellent offense that could rival the Big Three.
46-50, the Mavericks continued to press the game at the end of the half, after a series of twists and turns.
At this time, ESPN's photographer let go of the Big Three and Nowitzki and gave the picture directly to Yiyang. Then, the director gave the data of Yiyang's half-game at the bottom of the screen.
With 12 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 turnover, the expressionless Chinese boy on the screen has undoubtedly become a rising star in the league!
