One Guard - Chapter 434
Chapter 434 : Hand-to-hand combat
One of Yiyang’s separate deductions turned the U.S. Route Center Arena into an active volcano, allowing the Mavericks to score even after Nowitzki’s miss. Of course, the smell of gunpowder between the two teams has become stronger and stronger.
One of the reasons why the playoffs are different from the regular season is that in addition to the special format, higher confrontation intensity is also one of the reasons. In the playoffs, referees are likely to ignore some foul actions for the smoothness and excitement of the game. As long as it is not excessive, the referee often closes one eye. Therefore, in the playoffs, the players move more and the confrontation will be more intense.
This is why in the fourth game of the two sides, Harden’s 16 free throws angered Yiyang. If you want to whistle the game on the scale of the regular season, then everyone will follow the scale of the regular season. In that game, the referee could turn a blind eye to the Thunder’s foul, but the foul on the Mavericks was sentenced very harshly.
Today, the two teams that have already played rage will definitely continue their high-intensity confrontation. I hope the referee will not become the one who controls the game this time.
Angrily Perkins sat directly inside this time, leaning on Heywood with one hand, and raising his other hand to Westbrook for the ball.
Although Perkins is not good at offense, he is still full of confidence in the face of Haywood who has scored 7 points in 4 minutes.
The angry Perkins elbows Heywood constantly, and fans may not see these details at all through the TV broadcast. But when you come to the scene, you know how brutal the playoffs are! It is no exaggeration to say that this is a war in an era of peace.
Under Perkins’s elbow intentionally or unintentionally “hello”, Haywood gradually lost his defensive position. Westbrook delivered the ball to Perkins, who directly put Heywood in one hand and turned to take off. He easily put the ball into the frame when Heywood could not get up.
“Perkins scored again. This guy who averaged only 4.7 points per game in the playoffs has always scored frequently on Haywood. Brandon can’t replace Chandler. There is more difference between the two. A star and a half.” Barkley shook his head helplessly. The Mavericks were thankful that the Thunder’s center was Perkins. Whenever you find a center with a little stronger offensive ability, the Mavericks have no choice!
“Damn it, don’t you blow this!?” Heywood wasn’t trying his best, but Perkins’ movements were indeed too big. After picking up the basketball, Haywood couldn’t help rubbing his chest. If the referee defaults to this scale, the Mavericks will not be polite!
On the subsequent attack, Yiyang handed the ball to Carter after halftime. Carter feinted with the ball and Yiyang took the opportunity to run. Just as Yiyang found the space to cut into the basket, Westbrook actually grabbed Yiyang’s jersey directly from behind!
Yiyang slapped hard, knocking out Westbrook and pulling his hand. This successfully cut in and received a pass from Carter.
In the eyes of the fans, this is an ordinary cut. There are ten people running on the basketball court. Fans far away from the court cannot see every detail of every player. But only Yiyang and the others know how crazy the battle is at this time!
Yiyang, who cut from the bottom corner, received the basketball and went to the basket along the bottom line. Perkins directly dropped Haywood, guarding the basket, and decided to use a cover to return the humiliation that Yiyang had just given him!
At this time, the rest of the Thunder team defended their matchups, and did not give Yiyang any route to score the ball. Yiyang had no choice but to fight for the opportunity by himself. He is not afraid of Perkins. Although the two are not of the same size at all, even if it is just to win a free throw opportunity, Yiyang must give it a try!
After Yiyang took off, Perkins followed suit. If it is replaced by other guards breaking through the basket, the strong Perkins can play a very good role in protecting the frame as long as standing under the basket and raising his arms.
But Perkins knows very well that facing a player like Yiyang, if you just stand under the basket with your arms high, it is no different from sending points. And at this time, Perkins’s heart, there is still some feeling of revenge in it.
In order to avoid Perkins’ blocking, Yiyang changed hands in the air, passing by the strong Thunder center.
Seeing that the seal failed, Perkins directly put down his hands and dragged Yiyang down in the air abruptly!
After pulling Yiyang down, Perkins did not make any protective actions. Instead, his hands suddenly loosened, causing Yiyang, who had completely lost his center of gravity, to fall into a hard board!
“This is a bad foul!” Buck slapped the table with his force and shouted, pointing to the court. Even in the 90s, the action was a little too hard just now.
“Perkins dragged Yi directly down in the air. God, I don’t know if there was any injury. Now he is nearly exhausted, but he is very easily injured!” Kenny Smith craned his neck, but Yiyang There are players standing around, no one can see what Yiyang is like.
The referee did not show mercy and directly gave Perkins a technical foul. But this penalty obviously cannot satisfy the Mavericks.
“A technical foul? He put my player directly on the ground, and you gave him a technical foul?” Carlisle asked the referee in disbelief. Just now Perkins gave him a second-level malicious foul and expelled him from the field. It’s not too much.
“I know how to master the scale, Mr. Coach. Now, please come back to your range of activities.” The referee looked cold and merciless. If Carlisle goes one step further, he might also call Carlisle a technical foul.
“Damn shit! Shit!” Carlisle dropped the tactical board in dissatisfaction. The tactical board was divided into two. God knows how hard Carlisle was just now.
Yiyang lay on the floor for a while and then stood up again. This is the playoffs. He had such a realization long ago!
“No problem!” Nowitzki hurriedly inquired about Yiyang’s physical condition. Just now, Yiyang fell very hard, and Perkins had deliberately fixed Yiyang to death.
Yiyang waved his hand, except for a bruise, there was no discomfort in his body. He gritted his teeth and stood on the free throw line, not even entangled with Perkins. Because Yiyang knows very well that if he is irritated, if he is expelled from the game because of a conflict with the opponent, then everything is not worth the gain.
Yiyang’s move undoubtedly won overwhelming applause from the audience. There is nothing the fans can do, only applause to express their gratitude.
When Yiyang was making a free throw, Brooks called Westbrook to his side.
“Russell, tell your teammates, pay attention to the scale of the action. I don’t want to lose any of you, I don’t want to see anyone suspended, do you hear?”
Westbrook nodded slightly, and at the same time, Yiyang hit all two free throws. Of course, the coach does not want to see players being suspended for fouls, but once a fierce game is played, the players’ emotions are simply out of control.
Although Perkins had a technical foul, the size of the foul was shocking. But the players did not constrain because of this, instead they played more and more fiercely.
In the fourth minute of the second quarter, Nowitzki, the leader in the three-second zone, was directly hugged by the Ibaka Bear. After the referee blew the foul, Dirk threw away Ibaka’s arm impatiently, and the two almost broke into conflict.
Two minutes later, Marion made an elbow when scoring a position with Durant. Marion, who thought he would escape, was called a foul. It seems that the referee is still more towards the Thunder.
Subsequently, Yiyang’s breakthrough layup was again interrupted by a bad violation. This time, Ibaka knocked Yiyang to the ground. Seeing Yiyang fall again and again and be violated again and again, the hearts of the fans felt like they were being pierced by a needle.
Of course, the most distressing of this is Vignali and Wenxue who are standing in front of the TV.
If you fall, get up again. This is Yiyang’s most repeated action today. He became a stumbling block on the way for the Thunder to advance, and everyone wanted to smash him.
However, the “stone” of Yiyang is smelly and hard!
Yiyang’s crazy offense and the normal play of Nowitzki allowed the Thunder to enter the final quarter with a 5-point lead. Although it is an advantage to enter the decisive battle, the fate of the Mavericks is still uneasy.
“Don’t forget, the most terrible problem for the Mavericks right now is physical fitness! The Mavericks did not perform well in the fourth quarter in the few games they lost to the Thunder. What’s more, today’s confrontation between the two sides is so fierce and the aging lineup is small. Niu He has been violated by Yiyang, and I don’t know if he can persist.”
As Barkley said, physical fitness has now become a problem that Carlisle has to face but there is not much to solve. This season, the Mavericks’ lineup has not been deep enough. After Kidd was absent, the problem was even worse.
The only two substitutes Carlisle can rest assured now are Terry and Yi Jianlian, and he can barely add another Frenchman, Mahinmi. As for the others, there is no difference between going on the court and “sending points”. Among them, Yi Jianlian and Masinmi cannot be on the court for too long. Otherwise, Brooks will definitely be used as a breakthrough.
Seeing the panting main players, Carlisle really had no choice. The 5-point advantage can disappear in a flash on the basketball court, but it’s not so easy to catch it back.
“Today’s game was too fierce. The Thunder can’t wait to advance. They don’t hesitate to fight the Mavericks on the court, just hoping to consume them the most!”
“For now, the Thunder’s strategy is successful. They are better than the Mavericks in depth of the bench. If both Yi and Dirk play without physical fitness, the shooting rate will definitely be affected. But if they don’t Playing on the court, the Mavericks’ scoring will stall again. As long as the Thunder seize the opportunity, they can take their lives at the last moment as they did in the previous games!”
Barkley shook his head after speaking, Brooks and Thunder’s methods were really vicious. Give you the final blow when you are exhausted and unable to struggle, and then let you watch your opponents advance to the Western Conference finals at home. Is there any method more cruel than this?
Carlisle is also one of the first two big players now. He was able to let Kidd play and continue to stabilize the rhythm, and then give Yiyang time to breathe. But now, he doesn’t have that condition. At present, besides Yiyang, the only point guard in the Mavericks formation is the Englishman Azubuike. This guy, who had been away from NA for two years due to injury, didn’t have the strength to play the playoffs at all. During the regular season, Azubuike has been on the reserve list, and he does not even play with the team. If this wasn’t for Kidd’s reimbursement for the season, Carlisle would not mention him to the official list.
“Also, you take a break first. Jeter, you are at the top position. Remember to pass the ball a lot and don’t entangle with Westbrook.” After thinking for a long time, Carlisle still had to use Terry to replace Yiyang. Although Terry may not work well in the number one position, this is Carlisle’s only option.
“Do not!”
As soon as Carlisle’s voice fell Yiyang vetoed the head coach’s decision with one word.
“Huh?” Carlisle was stunned, but this guy Yiyang never violated the coach’s arrangement.
“I can fight, I can fight in the last 12 minutes!” Yiyang looked at Carlisle with an eager look, this kid wanted to win too much!
“No, no, the game is too fierce. You take a few minutes to rest, and after a few minutes I will change you to play.”
“If the game loses, I have to rest for a whole summer!” Yiyang did not give in, he squeezed his fists. “Please, boss.”
Carlisle held his forehead, this kind of choice is really **** annoying!
