One Guard

Chapter 83: The connection between old and young

After Yiyang made a successful layup, the Nuggets and Mavericks were tied again. Although the Nuggets were unable to play with the full lineup today, with the efforts of Anthony and Billups, the Nuggets still worked hard to bite the score.

The Nuggets did not become dejected because of Yiyang's wonderful layup. Perhaps that beautiful layup did make Yiyang play with Sheldon Williams, the starting five, but the layup Basket is not enough to change the situation of this game.

In the next round, Billups slowed down early, as if waiting for his teammates to get in position.

Yiyang didn't sit still, he waved his long arms to press Billups. Faced with Yiyang's active defense, the experienced Billups just used one hand to support the Mavericks' No. 3 pick, and then skillfully patted the basketball with the other hand.

The basketball rebounded obediently under Billups, and this FMVP's ball handling is quite stable.

In addition to Yiyang who was trying to defend, the 33-year-old Sean Marion was also biting Anthony tightly. For the Nuggets with an uneven lineup, Billups and Anthony are almost the two sharpest spears under George Karl.

Everything seems to be perfect, the Nuggets seem to be nowhere to be found.

However, even in this pressed situation, Billups passed the ball. Marion thought that the ball was passed to Anthony, so he opened his hands while running closely with Anthony, hoping to destroy the pass and even directly cause Billups to make a mistake!

In the end, the basketball did not fly to Anthony's hands. But this is not because Billups made a mistake or Marion completed a steal, but Billups didn't give Anthony the ball at all!

The Nuggets shooting guard Aaron Afflalo, who got the gap by running without the ball, received the basketball and shot it immediately! The shooting-type No. 2, who made 43% of his three-pointers last season, was not afraid of Barea's blocking. His decisive shots allowed him to obtain a near-perfect shooting rhythm. And the perfect shooting rhythm made the orange basketball fall straight into the net!

"Afflalo's three-pointer is very deadly. The Mavericks really restricted Anthony and Billups this round. But Afflalo is also a part that Coach Carlisle cannot ignore." Billups and Anthony's strength after the opening made people almost forget the existence of other Nuggets players. But in fact, Billups and "Little Melon" are not the only ones who can score in the hands of Mr. George Karl.

After being caught off guard by Afflalo and scoring a goal and overtaking by one point, Yiyang turned his head and looked at the bench. But Rick Carlisle still sat on the bench, as if nothing happened just now.

In the next round, Billups adopted a defensive strategy against Yiyang that was not letting go. He didn't cling to Yiyang, but gave the child two steps of space. The purpose of doing this is naturally to hope that he can restrain Yiyang's best breakthrough.

Yiyang is not stupid, Billups made it clear that he was waiting for him to rush up and hit the wall. He's not like other rookies who are eager to prove themselves every time they see a space. Yiyang faced a large long-range shooting gap, and did not shoot blindly by himself. Instead, he hit the ground and sent the ball to Nowitzki.

Receiving Yiyang's pass that was neither too high nor too low, the German didn't need to adjust his defense against Gary Forbes.

The Mavericks took another one-point lead, and the two sides are still leading alternately. This strong dialogue in the West has been very intense from the beginning to the present.

Subsequently, Billups assisted Efflalo who cut inside and made a layup. The Mavericks' lead has not yet been heated up, so it is handed over again.

The team's second position has always been a flaw that the Mavericks cannot solve. In order to ensure that the lineup is deep enough, Carlisle

After several games, Jose Barea was used as the second candidate.

On the offensive end, Barea's fast running and precise three-pointers can indeed help the team. But on the defensive end, Barea's short height often becomes a point targeted by the opponent.

Now Afflalo has scored 5 points in front of Barea in a row, which is very telling. Carlisle, who focused on defense, immediately called a stop to the game, and he was about to make a substitution!

"Jett, after playing, don't let Afflalo get another chance." Carlisle never speaks in a muddy manner. He made Terry fully understand his primary task with a simple sentence.

"Don't worry, that kid is younger than me!" Terry showed his trademark smirk, then quickly took off his training clothes, and jumped on the spot twice.

When he was about to play, Terry deliberately patted Yiyang on the shoulder. "Happy cooperation, brat!"

"After Afflalo scored five points in a row, coach Rick Carlisle still remodeled his backcourt. Now the Mavericks' backcourt is a combination of Yi and Terry, the old and the young. In the first three games, When Terry and Ye are on the court at the same time, they can always play a good efficiency. Let's see if Yi and Jeter can continue their fiery state today!"

As soon as Kenny Smith finished speaking, Yiyang took the ball and crossed the halfway line. At the same time, Terry began to move according to Yiyang's gestures. From the perspective of vitality, people who don't know think that No. 31 of the Mavericks is a rookie!

Terry's movement was not only quick, but superb. Afflalo went through the crowd trying to bite this guy, but Tyson Chandler who suddenly appeared made Afflalo and the "Champion" bump into each other. Tyson used an extremely beautiful off-the-ball pick-and-roll to help Terry run out of opportunities!

Terry raised his hand to catch the ball after making a half-circle and returned to beyond the three-point line. He knew that Yiyang could not miss such an opportunity. At the same time, seeing that Afflalo had fallen, Billups directly left Yiyang and jumped in front of Terry who was about to shoot.

Terry didn't seem to see Billups coming from the side to defend. He took off resolutely, with his feet off the ground, intending to shoot.

Billups tried his best to straighten his arms, hoping to interfere with Terry as much as possible. And Afflalo also caught up at the moment, making a late-morning take-off to block the shot.

The two defenders, Billups and Efflalo, worked hard to defend, but Terry's opportunity was wiped out.

Nuggets fans are ready to cheer after Terry's shot, and they want to celebrate the efforts of Billups and Afflalo!

Just when Terry was about to shoot the basketball, the "jet" in the air suddenly turned his wrist.

"Oops!" Billups, who is a passing master, yelled badly after seeing the changes in Terry's technical movements. If it is correct, Terry should plan to...

Everyone thought Terry was going to shoot, but the basketball didn't fly to the basket after the shot, but went through the crowd and fell into the hands of Yiyang who cut inside after being thrown by Billups!

When the players of the Mavericks followed the trajectory of the basketball and looked back, Yiyang had already jumped high and made an easy layup.

"A wonderful pass! The Mavericks guards all know how to pass the ball! Jeter didn't make a rash move, but passed calmly and gave the ball to a teammate with a better chance."

"Well, my pass isn't bad, right?" After assisting Yiyang for a layup, Terry gave Yiyang a mischievous wink.

Yiyang smiled slightly, and now he couldn't hold back even his habitual facial paralysis. This old guy is really a living treasure.

Yiyang's layup allowed the two sides to take the lead again before the end of the first quarter, but the Nuggets were not about to throw up their hands and surrender. Terry did pass a good ball after he came on the court, but he is only 1.88 meters tall, and he may not be able to prevent Efflalo's shot.

Billups repeated the old trick, through an almost identical tactic, and finally hit the ball into the hands of Afflalo.

Facing Terry, who was a head shorter than himself, Afflalo was not timid. He hoped to use a three-pointer as a response to Terry's assist just now.

If it is hard to interfere or block shots, Terry's disadvantage in height is indeed irreparable. But the old "Jet" would not stand idly by, he suddenly stretched out his palm and poked it! The whole hand seemed to be on Afflalo's face, rather than trying to interfere with the basketball.

"Block your eyes and defend?" Yiyang on the side watched Terry's movements. Terry had taught himself this defensive technique.

In fact, for a professional player, even if you cover his eyes, he still knows where the basket is. Generally speaking, blindfolding does not have much impact on the shooting percentage of offensive players.

But Terry and Battier's blindfold isn't meant to block your view. It's such a sudden jab that makes you subconsciously close your eyes to protect yourself, disrupting the offensive team's shooting rhythm in this way of surprise.

Even Kobe would be disturbed by this trick back then, let alone Afflalo, whose composure was not at all comparable to Kobe's.

Afflalo made a hasty shot, and the arc of the basketball was too high, hitting the neck of the basket. Facing the two "false" insiders of the Nuggets, Tyson Chandler easily controlled the rebound.

After Yiyang got the ball, he pushed forward quickly. He knew that now there was a guy who could run and fight with him!

Nowitzki and Chandler are pressing forward frantically behind them, while Yiyang has already run beyond the opponent's three-point line.

From the looks of it, Yiyang seems to be planning to hit the rim directly by relying on his absolute advantage in speed. The direct surprise attack in the conversion attack is Yiyang's forte.

But just when Yiyang stepped into the three-point line with one foot, his arm grabbed the basketball and suddenly swung it back around his waist.

Another pass behind the back and the ball races to Terry, who is ambushing him in the corner. When Terry received the ball, Efflalo had just reacted and prepared to block. But when Efflalo blocked it, Terry's three-pointer had already been shot.

In the end, the orange basketball made a direct hit, and Yiyang's precise and swift back pass made the entire Pepsi Center shut up!

Terry closed his eyes, enjoying the booing from the away fans. After that, the old and unscrupulous guy couldn't help opening his arms, as if flying into the sky. Jet, take off again!

After going back, the Nuggets obviously accelerated their offensive rhythm, because the Nuggets players who had lost consecutive points now really want to quickly fill the score.

Billups used Anthony's pick-and-roll to go straight to the basket, but Terry and Yiyang's tacit switch defense obliterated all of Billups' opportunities.

"Old man, don't bully my little brother." Terry smiled at Billups with his arms stretched across his face. Billups was about to return the ball to Afflalo, but found that Yiyang had already changed it. These two guys have already replaced the defensive position by heart!

"The ball." Seeing that Billups and Efflalo had been locked up, Anthony raised his hand directly from beyond the three-point line to ask for the ball. He wanted to play singles!

It's a pity that under Marion's efforts to obstruct and Chandler's last timely defense, Anthony failed to make a layup against two forced layups.

After taking off the rebound, Nowitzki made a big throw, and the basketball flew across the half court, heading straight for Yiyang who had already started!

The only one on the Mavericks side who retreated quickly was Efflalo, who retreated quickly, hoping to interrupt the fast break. After receiving the basketball, Yiyang dribbled for two steps, then with a flick of his wrist, he gave the ball to Terry who cut from the left and participated in the fast break.

Afflalo dives straight to the left, as Terry is now just one step away from the basket, he must be the final finisher!

Seeing this situation, Terry threw the basketball into the air with a hook action. Afflalo followed the movement of the basketball and turned around. Yiyang, wearing the No. 1 Dallas jersey, leaped high, held the basketball with one hand, and then slammed it down!

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, as if there was thunder on the scene! Yiyang raised his "hammer" and released sparks again!

"The slam of the yellow lightning! Stopped, the game was stopped. The combination of Yi and Jeter made the Nuggets suffer!" Kenny Smith looked at George Karl who was annoyed and called for a timeout, and was completely taken aback. The combat effectiveness of the two bench bandits, Terry and Yiyang, was overwhelmed.

On the court, Terry jumped up happily and collided with Yiyang back to back in the air.

The Mavericks' second position is too weak? No, the Mavericks' back line is full of danger!
