One Guard

Chapter 203: Crossing the River Safely

In the 7th minute of the first quarter, Kidd passed the ball inside from outside the three-point line.

The intention of passing this ball is obvious, it is to give Dirk Nowitzki who wants to occupy a position in the interior.

But too obvious intentions will make the offensive line very clear, but it will also make the opponent prepare for defense.

Carmelo Anthony left Peja and headed for the paint, and "Melon" completed the interception just before Nowitzki received the ball.

Kidd made a mistake and Anthony advanced with the ball himself. Although Anthony's speed is not top-notch, his strong body and excellent skills make him almost unstoppable after he pushes the fast break. Don't forget, "Melo" was a super small forward who was as famous as James back then!

Under Stevenson's pursuit, Anthony still made a layup and successfully scored points.

At this point, the Nuggets have led the Mavericks by 8 points. The Mavericks looked exhausted on the court, allowing the Nuggets to play quite easily.

"The Mavericks have won ten consecutive victories recently, and these ten games in the middle of the season have almost completely drained their physical fitness. When they played against the Kings yesterday, the Mavericks had a very serious physical problem. Today, they played against the Nuggets back-to-back. It seems that they I really can't stand it anymore." Charles Barkley is well aware of how much the NBA's dense arena is a test for players, especially for a team that is not considered young.

"Anthony's state in the last few games is also very good. We all know that now Cameron is infinitely close to New York, and his playing time in Denver has almost entered the countdown. This guy is also using his excellent performance, thanks to Denver's Fans, by the way, I am also telling the Knicks. Don’t hesitate anymore, I am the one you have always needed!” Kenny Smith next to Barkley pointed out another reason why the Mavericks played so passively today. Their own poor physical fitness and the fact that they met Anthony who was in full swing, they really did not come singly.

After Anthony made a layup, Carlisle called a stoppage. Normally, Yiyang will appear in the fourth to fifth minutes of the first quarter, but Yiyang has not played until the seventh minute of today's game. Many people thought that this guy would never play again. After all, the news that Yiyang will take a truce to undergo a concussion test has spread all over the world. Before the players came out to warm up, many people even thought that Yiyang was not in Denver, but returned to Dallas.

However, after this pause, a familiar figure jumped into everyone's eyes. The Dallas One, who always surprises people, is here!

Yiyang's appearance not only attracted fans, but also attracted the attention of Anthony and Billups.

These two guys have not forgotten that when the two teams met at the beginning of the season,

It was they who became Yiyang paved the way to fame.

With 16 points, 11 assists and 3 steals, Yiyang's performance against the Nuggets for the first time undoubtedly left a deep impression on both Anthony and Billups. So today, when Yiyang, who was rumored to be absent from the game, played, both Anthony and Billups couldn't help but feel a little worried. That all-star rookie is very dangerous!

Yiyang's performance was beyond everyone's expectations, but his performance was within their expectations.

Like the rest of the Mavericks, Yiyang's state today can be described in one word, that is exhausted.

Don't forget, before the start of the game, Yiyang had just completed a series of intense tests. Although the doctor said that Yiyang is a man of steel, but the man of steel also has its own upper limit.

Throughout the game, the Mavericks were led by the nose by the Nuggets. In the last seven minutes of the fourth quarter, when the Nuggets thought they had a chance to win, Yi Yang used two consecutive 3-pointers and 11 points in a single quarter to almost capsize the Nuggets.

Although Billups assisted Anthony with a mid-range shot to win the game at the last moment, when the game ended and everyone looked up at the score on the big screen, they were still in shock.

Anthony's buzzer-beater at the last moment allowed the Nuggets to narrowly beat the Mavericks at home 121 to 120, and his lore will undoubtedly be selected as one of the top ten lore of the season.

It is indeed far beyond everyone's imagination that a tired Mavericks can push the Nuggets in good condition to this point.

The Nuggets players and fans thought this would be an easy victory at their fingertips, but the process and result were so thrilling.

Although he lost the game, it could be seen that Carlisle was not in a bad mood. His players dragged their tired bodies until the last moment and had to rely on the lore to decide the victory, which is already very satisfying.

"Because the Nuggets performed so well, I am even more proud of my players. Everyone played very well. They did everything they could do!"

At the press conference, Carlisle even took the trouble to report the names of every player, expressing "praise by name". This academic coach did not lie, the team lost, but he was very proud in his heart.

"...Dirk's performance is as stable as ever. He is one of the most stable players in the league, and he is also the guarantee for our ten-game winning streak. Finally, of course I have to praise him. In the game An hour before the start, he had just finished the concussion detection of the tired players. It was not easy to play tonight. Not to mention, this guy almost helped us kill the game in the fourth quarter! If there is no card Mellon's lore, today's hero is Yi!" Carlisle did not forget that in the fourth quarter, he shouted for Yiyang's wonderful goals and assists again and again. In the second before the red light on the backboard, the Mavericks still took the lead.

But Carlisle also knew that Anthony could stop Yiyang once, but he couldn't stop Yiyang for the first time. This guy has already started to challenge the superstars in the league.

25 points, 8 assists and 2 steals. This is the data obtained by Yi Yang who did a lot of exercise before the game. Perhaps from now on, it will be a matter of course for Yiyang to be selected for the All-Star team.

In the next seven days before the start of the All-Star Game, the Mavericks only had three games to play, and the game density dropped a lot in an instant. The physical fitness of the Mavericks players can also be recovered to a certain extent. Although this ten-game winning streak was ended, maybe it wasn't that bad.

On February 12, the Mavericks, who had a rest all day and returned to the home game, also defeated the Houston Rockets 112 to 106.

The rise of Kyle Lowry has brought a lot of trouble to the Mavericks and Yiyang, but Yiyang's 19 points and 8 assists are still very good, and it also helped the Mavericks beat the rebuilding Rockets.

The former home team of the Chinese fans is no longer as strong as it was back then, but the rise of another Chinese player has also made the Chinese fans feel good.

Next, the Mavericks won a full 3 days of rest without a game. During these three days, Carlisle also intentionally reduced the intensity of training, allowing the players to restore their physical fitness as much as possible. He doesn't want to have players injured because of the game a week before the start of the All-Star Game.

The three-day rest time allowed the Mavericks to recover a certain amount of vitality, and also allowed Yiyang to say goodbye to exhaustion.

Feb. 16, the Mavericks' penultimate game before the All-Star break. Yiyang and his old friend DeMarcus Cousins ​​met again, and this game really became a national broadcast on ESPN.

Although Cousins ​​and Yiyang are passionate, the game is not very enjoyable.

The impatient Cousins ​​hopes to prove himself with beautiful statistics, but against the energetic "boxing champion", Cousins ​​suffered a lot on the offensive end.

Cousins ​​scored a double-double of 16 points and 12 rebounds throughout the game, but the cost of getting these data was a game-high 19 shots and a shooting percentage of only 31%.

As far as the data is concerned, Cousins ​​​​has performed very well. But if the efficiency is estimated, as an inside player, Cousins' performance today is undoubtedly unqualified.

It was not Cousins ​​who scored the highest score in the game today, and many Nowitzkis were not Yiyang, but Kidd who scored 20 points.

Nowitzki scored only 14 points today, and Yiyang only scored 11 points.

However, Yiyang's double-double performance of 11 points and 15 assists helped eight of the 10-man Mavericks score in double figures. The only two players who didn't score in double figures were Stevenson and Chandler, who were not very offensive.

A real team basketball, so that Cousins, who was fighting alone, was once again deflated. 100 to 116, the Sacramento Kings defeated the Mavericks, and the grievances between Cousins ​​and Yiyang also deepened.

With the win over the Kings, the Mavericks have just one game left before the "offseason" of the All-Star break.

On the day of February 17, the NBA only arranged two matchups. The Dallas Mavericks are one of the four participating teams.

Facing the Phoenix Suns that are no longer in glory, the Mavericks have firmly controlled the rhythm from the first second after the start of the game.

However, Nash's weak defensive ability and the Suns' defensive vacancy that could not be filled after Stoudemire's departure allowed Yiyang, who came off the bench, to score 22 points like cutting melons and vegetables.

Of course, Nash's performance is not bad. The performance of this guy on the field even made Yiyang admire the Canadian in his heart.

With 15 points and 14 assists, the 36-year-old Nash used a large double-double to organize the Suns' offense in an orderly manner. Yiyang bets that without Nash, this Suns team would be no different from a big team.

Although he respects Nash, Nash is still Yiyang's enemy today.

Yiyang had 22 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals. Together with Nowitzki's 38 points, the Mavericks won the last victory before the All-Star Game in Phoenix by 6 points.

As of the time before the All-Star Game, which was a headache for Carlisle, the Mavericks finally survived without any danger.

In the coming weekend, let's see how Yiyang and Deke perform well.

The flames of war stopped suddenly, and the smoke cleared. Carnival weekend for fans and players is coming soon!
