One Guard

"I also stopped the jump shot urgently, and the basketball still hit the net after bumping!"

"Blake's breakthrough was very tough. He completed a layup against Dirk, and the Clippers tied the score again!"

"Kaman's defense was very quick, but he chose to pass the ball in the end. Can Jason Terry make a hit? Good shot, the Mavericks scored another three points!"

"Eric Gordon pulled up and shot, hit a three-pointer, and the score was tied again!"

The wonderful game made the sound of cheering in the Staples Center unceasing, and the fast pace of the game between the two sides made the fans dizzy.

The wonderful performances of Yiyang and Griffin also pushed the popularity of this game to the peak.

This game, which originally didn't have much suspense and highlights, now has many suspense, and the scene is even more exciting.

The two teams ended their first half of the game under this fast confrontational rhythm.

At the end of the last game, Griffin scored 10 points and 5 rebounds. Yiyang, whose playing time has surpassed Kidd as the starter, also scored 9 points and 6 assists.

From the data point of view, Griffin is still likely to continue his consecutive double-double performance. As for Yiyang, he has a good chance to win the first double-double in his career in the second half of the game!

49 to 47, with a two-point lead, the Mavericks walked silently to the player tunnel. Although leading at halftime and playing very entertaining, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle didn't look very good.

The strength of the Clippers and the Mavericks is not at the same level. He hopes to see the team completely control the scene, instead of being dragged into the mud by the Clippers and crawling hard. The Mavericks played very well in the first half of the game, but Carlisle didn't care whether the game was exciting or not. The only thing he longed for was victory!

So during the halftime break, Carlisle didn't sit idle. As soon as he entered the locker room, he began to write and draw on the big whiteboard. Yiyang could tell that what Carlisle drew was not an offensive line, but a defensive one.

"Defense!" After finishing the drawing, Carlisle hammered the whiteboard, and all the resting players raised their heads.

"In the first half of the game, we let the opponent's offense play too easily. Dirk, in the second half you give me Griffin's drive, don't be afraid of his shot. I want you to let him some distance, don't worry! Jason , lock up Davis's passing route, can't let him pass the ball easily, and can't let Griffin catch the ball easily. If Griffin catches the ball in the three-second zone, or rushes with the ball Get up. I hope you can make up the defense or double-team quickly. Remember, cut the ball! Against Griffin, you can boldly cut the ball!" Carlisle may have limited on-the-spot command ability, but if you are willing to give him time , he can definitely put a lot of things to the point.

"Also!" Just after everyone thought that Carlisle had finished speaking, the experienced coach called Yiyang again.

Yiyang didn't answer, but stared straight at his coach.

"I know you want to compete with Griffin, but you can't be brought into the rhythm of the Clippers by him. Slow down, okay? Slow down the rhythm, we play more positional battles with the Clippers !” Carlisle knew that fast pace is what Yiyang is good at, but the fast pace of the last game made it difficult for the rest of the Mavericks to integrate into the offense.

Yiyang nodded, expressing his understanding. The infighting between him and Griffin really made Yiyang, a competitive guy, play too fast. After all, the two rookies were eager to retaliate against each other on the offensive end.

After the start of the second half, Griffin of the Clippers continued to play. Yiyang, who led the Mavericks' offense in the first half, sat on the bench.

Carlisle wanted to let Kidd play first. First, he could improve the defensive strength first, and second, he could let Kidd redefine the rhythm of the game.

The experienced Kidd did a very good job, although he is not as aggressive as Yiyang, nor does he have the terrifying impact.

But under Kidd's care, the Mavericks are organized both offensively and defensively.

The impatient Griffin is still obsessed with fast offense. He tried to break through Nowitzki several times, but found that he couldn't complete the overtaking now.

Nowitzki, as Carlisle arranged, put him a long distance, just to prevent Griffin from breaking through.

Later, Griffin also discovered this. He started to shoot from the mid-range position, but the effect was very poor.

Seeing the Clippers' offense stalled, Carlisle changed his lineup first. He replaced Terry with Yiyang, and let Kidd and Yiyang match up in the backcourt! The double point guard lineup seems to have become a sign that Carlisle is about to win the game!

When Yiyang played again, the game had only played for four minutes in the second half, but the score had already been gradually opened up by the Mavericks. 6 points may not seem like a big difference, but it is enough to make the Clippers nervous

Yiyang's appearance greatly stimulated Griffin's nerves. This time, Griffin did not choose to slam Nowitzki in the low post, but fell in the high post, hoping to hold the ball and rush up to play!

Baron Davis, who was guarded by Kidd, clearly saw what Griffin meant. He deliberately asked for a pick-and-roll from outside the three-point line, waited for him to take the defender away, and then passed the ball back to Griffin Fern, everything will be fine!

Just thinking about it, Griffin's pick-and-roll is already in place. Nowitzki followed Carlisle's arrangement and didn't follow up, which also gave Griffin room to start the sprint.

The white-skinned No. 1 pick smiled, and Baron Davis quickly passed by him, and then Kidd tried his best to bypass the strong cover.

After Baron Davis broke through, Griffin repeated his tricks and suddenly started! Baron Davis stopped suddenly with both feet, and then flicked his wrist while dribbling. The basketball flew sideways, heading straight for Griffin who was running.

In the first half of the game, it was precisely because of this cooperation that Griffin successfully dunked Nowitzki, which made Yiyang really start to challenge Griffin.

Griffin is about to catch the basketball, and he has even begun to plan the route to break through the dunk later.

Just at this critical moment, a guy wearing the Dallas blue No. 1 away jersey suddenly jumped out and lay between the basketball and Griffin.

Seeing Baron Davis' surprised expression, Yiyang didn't express anything. His calm expression seemed to say, "I've expected everything."

"Top-level predictive ability! Yi just gave the Clippers a mistake when he came up!"

After intercepting the basketball, Yiyang didn't rush to run fast. Instead, he stood still and slowed down. After his teammates started running forward, Yiyang controlled the ball and advanced.

Yiyang moved forward slowly, as if 24 seconds on the rebound timer meant 24 hours to him.

As soon as they crossed the midfield line, Yiyang responded! He hits the ball quickly, and the basketball spins in the air looking for his "belonging".

"Is this a mistake?" Vignali, who was sitting in the first row, looked at the direction in which the basketball was flying. That position was right in front of her, but there were no Mavericks players in front of her.

Watching the basketball fly closer and closer, Vignali even worried that the ball would hit her face directly. Could it be that he passed the pass?

Just when everyone, including Vignali, was at a loss, Kidd suddenly jumped out from the crowd. People's attention is all on Yiyang who holds the ball, but in fact, Kidd has already started to attack through his off-ball running!

The basketball flew to the "no one" position, and Kidd just slapped him. This experienced veteran defender understands Yiyang's heart too well. He believes that Yiyang can also see the opportunities he can see.

Steadily receiving the ball, Kidd calmly made a three-pointer with no one around. Byron Davis? Davis has already enjoyed the "Championship" hospitality, I believe he will be impressed. In any case, Chandler's off-the-ball pick-and-roll, he can't catch up now.

Kidd's three-point shooting has always been a shortcoming that has been criticized by people, but Kidd, who has now entered the end of his career, has already developed a sufficiently stable long-range shooting ability.

The basketball draws a proper arc in the air, and then, hollow into the frame!

"From the cooperation between the two guards, Kidd and Yi are really full of tacit understanding. These two guys with very clear minds on the field seem to be able to find out all the offensive lines!" Looking at the old man on the field With two less point guards, Kenny Smith admires him.

After scoring this goal, the Mavericks officially led the Clippers by 9 points. And Yiyang's data also became 9 points and 7 assists. It seems that Yiyang's first double-double in his NBA career has already been touched.

After the next ball, Griffin sat back low again. Yiyang double-teamed in time. Although he failed to grab the ball directly, he forced Griffin to make a pass error.

After regaining the opportunity to attack, the Mavericks let Kidd control the ball. In the mid-range position, Kidd suddenly hit the ground and made a pass. It turned out that Yiyang had already cut into the basket from the side with a beautiful reverse run. The pass was neither high nor low, and it happened to fall into Yiyang's hands. Yiyang didn't need to adjust, just took two big strides, jumped lightly, and scored a layup.

Chris Kaman didn't expect Yiyang to cut to the basket suddenly, so his block was too late. When Yiyang began to fall, Kaman had just taken off.

After Yiyang sent a wonderful pass to Kidd, Kidd led Yiyang to complete a layup. Carlisle's Mavericks not only strengthened their defense, but under the formation of Kidd and Yiyang, the two point guards, the Mavericks also turned their successful defense into scoring.

After this goal was scored, the lead of the Mavericks became 11 points, and Yiyang's personal scoring data also became 11 points.

So far in the second half of the game, Griffin's data is still 10 points and 5 rebounds. Facing the defense of the Mavericks, Griffin was misfired throughout the second half, and his data did not increase. And Yiyang, now only 3 assists away, he will get a double-double. There is still a full quarter and a half left in the game.

11 points, one quarter and a half. One of the Clippers' engines has been ignited by Carlisle's defensive strategy, and the last engine is left. I don't know if we can bring the broken Clippers to the end?

The Clippers are already in crisis, and Griffin and his teammates will definitely fight back desperately. But Yiyang and Mavericks will not just give up the victory.
