Chapter 388: The Smell of Gunpowder

"Andrew. Bynum has definitely played the masterpiece of his career this season, improving his efficiency from 21.14 to 23.00, averaging 18.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.9 blocks in 35.2 minutes per game so far this season, while shooting 55.8% from the field. Bynum's playing time, shots, shots, points, and rebounds are all career highs, and assists and blocks are not far from career highs. Andrew may have had his heyday, with the Mavericks not having a good time without Tyson. With Chandler in charge, it was difficult to tie his hands and feet. ”

"That's right, Mike, the Mavericks' top priority right now is to address their interior defensive problems. If they let Bynum continue to devastate with such impunity, it will be very difficult to turn the tide. Do you think Coach Carlisle will use the two-man strategy? "Mike. Brin's commentary partner, Kevin. Harlan threw out a crucial question, and Brin thought for a moment before shaking his head.

"It's too dangerous, and it's a little too dangerous for the Mavericks to have a double bag. The Lakers are a very holistic team, and each of them is very willing to share the ball with each other. If the Mavericks adopt a two-man strategy, I'm afraid the Lakers will get more opportunities. ”

Mike. Bryn's doubts Carlisle naturally also thought of it, so he chose to let Yiyang, a guy who can't run away, carry out the pinching attack!

"As long as Bynum has the ball, you will resolutely hold it! Don't foul him and force him to make mistakes! Others, help also keep an eye on Kobe, if Bynum passes, also, I want you to quickly make up the defense. Time is running out for the second quarter and I don't want us to go back to the locker room with a deficit! Cheer up, didn't we sweep them out last year!? Today, let's win one more game! ”

Carlisle remained resolute in his choice of trapping, knowing it would be risky. But in this case, his only choice is to believe in Yiyang.

The pause will soon be over, and everyone's suspicions will be answered. The Lakers' side of the normal rotation is with Josh. McRoberts replaced Gasol and Artest for Matt. Barnes. Seeing this substitution adjustment, Carlisle secretly applauded in his heart. At least for now, the Lakers' offensive firepower has dropped.

On the Mavericks' side, Carlisle did not make any personnel adjustments, and he was still the starting five Tigers. They had to get through those few minutes, and only the starting five had the strength to get through those minutes.

The game restarted, and the Mavericks, who were eight points behind, took the lead in attacking. Yiyang steadily sent the ball to the inside under Kobe's strict defense and passed it to Nowitzki.

At the beginning, facing Gasol's defence, Nowitzki also felt a lot of pressure. But now facing the '07 second-round pick McRoberts, the German instantly feels like a fish in water.

McRoberts is a big white man with great athleticism, and on the defensive end, he can usually put on a shocking attack with his terrifying bounce. But defense is not a high jump, and it's not that whoever can jump is the best. McRoberts' one-on-one defensive ability is very average, and he is even more helpless against a superstar like Nowitzki.

Nowitzki made a turnaround jumper after receiving Yiyang's pass, and sure enough, McRoberts was easily fooled. He jumps high and the terrifying bounce is the only thing he can rely on on on the defensive end.

However, instead of shooting after picking up McRoberts, Dirk changed his center of gravity, hunched over, and took a big step through McRoberts' armpit. Nowitzki then even took his arm and gently picked the ball into the net.

"Those two points were too easy to take, and Dirk was still a little too strong for McRoberts. But we know that the Mavericks' biggest problem right now is not offense, it's defense! Let's see what kind of strategy the Mavericks will use to deal with the bite of the 'little shark' after the timeout! ”

Despite scoring a goal from the start, people are still worried about the Mavericks' situation. Bynum, the beast that had wreaked havoc, had stepped into the restricted area, and the real battle was about to begin.

Fischer possessed the ball past half court and immediately handed the ball to Bryant. Bryant was not in a hurry after holding the ball, but made a few triple threat steps in front of Yiyang to find his rhythm.

Yiyang stared at Kobe Bryant intently, not daring to wander the slightest. Although Carlisle gave him the task of containing Bynum, Kobe Bryant was also very dangerous. It can be said that the two most terrifying people on the court of the Lakers are both defended by Yiyang at the moment! There is no second young man in this alliance who can withstand this kind of pressure.

Kobe Bryant broke through with the help of McRoberts's blocking, McRoberts's blocking quality was not high, Yiyang leaned on the opponent and turned around, and easily re-attached Kobe.

Kobe forced to the restricted area, and was about to make a layup under Yiyang's pressure and Haywood's supplemental defense. No matter how incredible Kobe Bryant is, the difficulty of this ball is just too great. The layup made the basketball bounce around the rim a few times, but it eventually bounced out.

"The Mavericks' first offense was very successful, and Kobe Bryant was still a little too anxious."

Just when everyone thought the Mavericks' defense ended perfectly, Bynum jumped high in the crowd and pocketed the offensive rebound! The most dangerous "shark" got the ball in a dangerous area, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

Seeing this, Heywood immediately leaned in on Bynum, trying to keep the beast from moving freely. Even so, Bynum is full of confidence. As it turned out, just one Brandon. Heywood, I can't help myself at all!

Just when Bynum turned around forcefully and prepared to attack the frame, Yiyang raised his arms high and wrapped it up in time. It stands to reason that Yiyang's height should not cause any disturbance to Bynum. But with Yiyang, Bynum didn't dare to put the ball below his chest easily. If he does this, he will most likely be stealed by Yiyang's "fast hand".

Bynum, who held the basketball high, stopped the offense, and he turned his body as if trying to pass the ball. However, Bryant has long been entangled by Terry, and others have not been given a decent chance. Fischer, the only one who wasn't being targeted, was now 108,000 miles away from him.

Yiyang and Heywood are like an iron cage, clamping Bynum, the "great white shark", to the death.

In a panic, Bynum passed the ball to Fischer, who came up to pick it up. Fischer caught the ball and threw it, but as soon as he jumped, he saw Yiyang raise his long arm and pounce on him. This guy is inevitably too fast to change guards.

Under Yiyang's interference, Fischer missed the hit from mid-range. This time, Haywood didn't give Bynum another chance, and he protected the rebound, leaving the Lakers to retreat in frustration. The Mavericks' bag tactics worked!

"Incredible defense, Coach Carlisle actually used a two-man wrap strategy. Bynum's ability to play the ball after being caught in the bag is still a little weak, and Yi's speed of defense is surprisingly fast. God, the Mavericks have found their key to victory, and the Purple and Gold must be vigilant. ”

Bynum, who was successfully stopped by Yiyang, was naturally very unwilling at this time, he didn't expect that a short and thin Chinese defender would become the biggest stumbling block on his offensive road. This time on the defensive end, he must give everything back!

Yiyang also wanted to hit Nowitzki's point, but found that McRoberts's defense was very active. This time, he wasn't even willing to give Dirk the slightest bit of space to catch the ball. Now the Mavericks are still in a backward position, and they can't afford to risk a mistake. As a result, Yiyang gave up the idea of passing the ball to Nowitzki and looked for a new opportunity.

After hitting the ball to Terry, Yiyang starts on his own. Haywood immediately set up a pick-and-roll without the ball, but for a top defensive expert like Bryant, the pick-and-roll was no threat at all.

Gently changing the direction of his pace, Kobe Bryant easily bypassed the "wall" of Heywood and continued to chase Yiyang. But Haywood was only the first layer of pick-and-roll, and soon, Nowitzki suddenly crossed out, and Kobe's way was blocked again.

This time, Kobe Bryant was finally delayed. Yiyang successfully went outside the three-point line, received a pass from Terry, and was bound to shoot!

Yiyang's huge threat from beyond the three-point line this season has cost many opponents, and Kobe Bryant doesn't want Yiyang to get his wish. Seeing Yiyang raise the basketball and bend his knees to jump, Kobe Bryant jumped up directly, hoping to experience interference.

Kobe Bryant worked very hard, and the only thought in his mind was to stop Yiyang. However, Yiyang "deceived" Kobe's feelings.

When Kobe Bryant flew into the air, Yiyang's original tiptoe feet all hit the ground, and his calves kicked! Kobe Bryant, who was in the air, only felt a gust of wind blowing past him, and then, Yiyang appeared in the three-second zone guarded by the Lakers.

"It's so fast, and the speed of Yi's breakthrough is like lightning! No, faster than lightning! "Every time I see Yiyang breaking through, Mike. An inexplicable sense of refreshment welled up in Bryn's heart. Watching Yiyang pass through the defense, the other party could only look at him in shock...... Maybe that's the charm of the Speedster.

Yiyang's breakthrough through Kobe Bryant was too sudden, and when he had already entered the restricted area, many Lakers players had not yet reacted to what was happening. But Bynum is different, he has already set his eyes on Yiyang, just waiting for this opportunity!

Yiyang jumped on one foot and lifted the basketball to prepare for the layup, and it looked like this time the offense was inevitable. However, Bynum, the "little shark", smelled the smell of blood and quickly arrived, and when Yiyang jumped, Bynum killed him from the side. He didn't fan the basketball, but knocked Yiyang's whole person out of the bottom line in the air!

Yiyang fell to the ground heavily, and the moment he landed, people even heard a loud muffled sound!

"Malicious foul! There is no doubt that this will be a malicious foul! Andrew is really ruthless, we can only pray that Yiyang is okay. Otherwise, the Mavericks will lose two generals today! "Mike. Brin stared nervously at the arena, Yiyang didn't get up immediately after falling, which couldn't help but make people extremely worried.

"Bastard!" Yiyang screamed and tried to stand up and teach Bynum a hard lesson, but the severe pain in his body made him unable to move for a while.

"Get out of here, idiot!" Terry pushed Bynum away and hurriedly squatted in front of Yiyang. Yiyang slowed down for a moment, and after feeling that his whole body was fine, he took Terry's forearm and stood up again.

"It seems that there should be no big problem, it should be just a hard injury just now, after all, the fall is hard enough, it must be very painful!"

After Yiyang stood up, Bynum glanced at Yiyang proudly, and then ran to the basket and stood up. It turned out that just now, the referee just gave Bynum an ordinary foul, not a malicious foul!

"Do you know the rules of the game? Do you have to get to the point where someone gets hurt to make a difference? Carlisle, of course, couldn't accept the decision and jumped up and down in the bench. This is going to be Mr. Popovich, who probably has already greeted the referee's family.

However, in great contrast, Yiyang, who is indeed calm and calm on the field. He didn't complain to the referee, nor did he feel aggrieved. The guy just quietly walked to the free throw line and silently took the ball from the referee.

"I'm afraid, Yankee!" Seeing that Yiyang didn't say a word, Bynum was secretly proud in his heart. Except for Kobe, Bynum doesn't accept anyone to show off in front of him! Even Mike. Brown can't be a head coach, let alone Yiyang.

"You'd better be careful, Andrew." At the same time, Kidd, who was sitting on the bench, muttered to himself.

Bynum thought that Yiyang, who didn't say a word, was afraid? No, Kidd could read Yiyang's eyes, and he knew what Yiyang was thinking right now.

That guy, I'm afraid, is really angry......
