One Guard - Chapter 631
Chapter 625 : Take off your crown
Chris Paul missed a shot, which allowed the Clippers to miss the lead in the last 20 seconds. Although the score is now even, the possession of the final attack fell to Yiyang. There is no doubt that after so long a tug of war, the Clippers were finally forced to the edge of the cliff.
“Don’t you call a timeout?” After Gobert grabbed the rebound, Mavericks assistant coach Armstrong looked at Carlisle. The academic coach did not answer, but shook his head silently.
Carlisle believed in Yiyang, and he was very relieved to let Yiyang deal with this final attack. Even if it fails, the Mavericks still have overtime to play.
But Rivers is different, the last attack is not called a timeout, which also deprives Rivers of the right to arrange the last defense.
Carlisle can believe that Yiyang can handle the final attack by himself. Can Rivers guarantee that his players can handle the final defense?
The answer is obvious, Rivers is very, very worried! If a timeout is called, then the Clippers can cause trouble to the Mavericks from the sideline. But now, Yiyang can dribble the ball safely through halftime, and everyone on the Clippers dare not act rashly!
“Coach Carlisle didn’t call a timeout. I bet that even Popovich would not dare to do it.” Mike Brin looked at Carlisle in disbelief, he was not dizzy. The Mavericks coach was standing there, his hands around his chest, silent.
This is how much I trust a player to dare to let him handle the offense by himself at the critical moment of determining the outcome of the game. In order not to give the opponent a chance, Carlisle really did anything.
Rivers looked at the court nervously. Before that, Yiyang had already scored eight points in a row, and the yellow-skinned number one had never missed at a critical moment. Although Yiyang did not successfully complete the lore every time, his chances of killing the game were still very high.
On the backboard, the numbers on the timer were passing by. Without Rivers’ instructions, the rest of the Clippers would not dare to help easily. This made the final attack still a duel between Yiyang and Paul. The two point guards are really both superior and decisive.
“We often say that a player’s performance at a critical moment is often a reference for determining whether he can become a superstar. Griffin, who scored 30 points before, did nothing in the last three minutes and was tepid at first. The Clippers also pushed the Clippers to the edge of the cliff. I think this is why Blake can also become the MVP, and Blake has no personal honor.” While Yiyang’s possession of the ball was stalling for time, Mike Brin I also talked about things outside the game.
Don’t relax now, but you will be out of breath later!
When the number on the rebound timer changed to 10, Yiyang finally waved his hand. Gobert ran up obediently and set up cover for Yiyang!
DeAndre Jordan is like an enemy! If Paul can’t get rid of the pick and roll, he will be the last barrier to defend Yiyang. If even he can’t stop Yiyang, the Clippers’ basket will be open.
Gobert’s cover was in place in advance, and Yiyang took two steps forward unhurriedly, letting the back pierce towards the side with the cover.
But Paul was very tenacious. He squeezed in front of Gobert and did not let the French delay his defense. Seeing that the cover could not be beaten, Yiyang simply changed the direction of the bell and walked to the side where there was no pick-and-roll. But Paul’s lateral movement was still very fast, he followed closely, and Yiyang still did not get a chance!
Yiyang gritted his teeth, Paul deserves to be one of the best defensive point guards in this league!
At this time, Gobert’s pick and roll had already been withdrawn, and Yiyang was not at a loss. Instead, he accelerated directly after swaying the space in a continuous large arc.
Paul knew that it was too late to move and block it now. He didn’t hesitate, and he turned directly back and prepared to pursue it. I have to admit that Paul is indeed very experienced. When he can’t move laterally in time, he can directly turn over and chase, and he can also achieve very good defensive effects. But sometimes, relying too much on experience will hurt yourself.
After Paul turned back and chased him, he turned around and found that there was no one beside him! Yiyang didn’t rush in just after he changed direction!
“Damn it!” Paul immediately turned back, and sure enough, Yiyang had no intention of breaking through. After the breakthrough, Yiyang pulled his hips down and retreated back to outside the three-point line. His change of direction did not confuse Paul, but the indistinguishable rhythm made Paul discover after turning around like an idiot. The person he wants to defend is not around.
Paul still wanted to make up, but naturally it was too late. Yiyang fired directly outside the three-point line!
It stands to reason that now the Mavericks only need two points to win, but Yiyang resolutely chose a three-pointer. At that moment, Carlisle even regretted not calling a timeout.
But in fact, Yiyang believes that the opportunity outside the three-point line is the best. Because everyone thinks that you will break through the two more secure points, so they will defend themselves at every level. And beyond the three-point line, as long as Yiyang manages Paul, there will be no interference.
Just as Yiyang threw the ball out, the harsh electronic buzzer rang. At the same time, the red light on the backboard made Yiyang even a little bit unable to open his eyes.
Carlisle was still calm with his hands around his chest, but in fact his heart was about to jump out.
Basketball is like a shooting star, passing across the Staples Arena, attracting everyone’s attention.
In the end, this “meteor” fell straight into the net, without even touching the basket. There was dead silence in the American Airlines Center Arena, but Mike Brin stood up and shouted.
“Lore! Lore! Lore! Unbelievable three-pointers, unbelievable fake moves! Also shook off the league’s best defensive point guard, and then calmly hit a three-pointer on his head and killed the game! Unbelievable Also, an incredible victory! I think he will be qualified to wear the crown of the league’s first point guard on his head!” Mike Brin could not conceal his excitement. He used several incredible points in a row. Describe the lore just now. Because Yiyang can fly Paul and throw a fatal goal without a cover, which is indeed very, very difficult.
This time Yiyang didn’t wait low-key for his teammates to come up and hug him. After completing the lore, Yiyang deliberately walked to the camera, bulged up his muscles, and pointed to his skin!
did you see it? Yellow skin can also dominate the game! Moreover, you still dominate the game under the noses of you “pseudo-justice” Los Angeles media!
Why do people of the yellow race “defy” American basketball on American soil? Now Yiyang will tell you, because I can always **** win!
Yiyang celebrated at the camera for a while, and the Mavericks teammates swarmed up and completely “engulfed” Yiyang. In fact, at the end of the game, all the Mavericks players rushed onto the field. It’s just that Yiyang’s speed was too fast, and his teammates didn’t catch him the first time.
“This is a wonderful point guard duel. This is the duel between top stars! The two have deadly moves, and both have shown all their abilities! As long as one of the tricks fails to catch, the only one to greet you is death. ! This is the greatest duel, this is a duel that can be recorded in the annals of history! Also with Chris, they have dedicated a wonderful match for everyone!”
Although Paul lost, Mike Brin still gave the “Captain” a very big affirmation.
With 27 points, 12 assists and 2 steals, Paul has indeed played very well. His data can be changed to an opponent at random, and he can guarantee a stable win.
But Yiyang’s 35 points, 14 assists, 3 steals and 1 blocked shot clearly overwhelmed Paul.
In fact, Yiyang’s initial data is similar to Paul’s. At that time, both of them only scored more than 20 points, and Griffin was the scoring leader on the court.
But in the last three minutes, Yiyang seized the opportunity to widen the gap between Paul and Paul. Never be soft at critical moments, this has become Yiyang’s character!
Paul looked at Yiyang, who was surrounded by his teammates, and cursed a few words unwillingly. He only lost one round in the 48-minute game, only one round! But that round made the situation of the two teams very different.
This is the case with the duel between top stars, any miss is fatal.
In today’s game, Yiyang defeated Paul in a head-on confrontation. The Mavericks also successfully won an away game in Los Angeles, moving the score to 2-1. From star to team, the Mavericks have won!
In the last game, Paul failed to help the Clippers win, and people would say that because the points difference was too wide, Paul couldn’t catch it no matter how hard he tried.
But today, Paul was completely defeated! His last attack and last defense are the biggest reason the Clippers lose! Even Paul’s fans can’t find any excuses for losing today.
With his actual performance, Yiyang abruptly took off the crown from Paul’s head. From today, the title of the league’s first point guard no longer belongs to the 1.83 meter tall No. 3.
Even the Los Angeles media, who is good at messing around, can’t find any excuses for winning in a head-on match.
The Mavericks were still celebrating The reporters had to surround Carlisle first.
“Coach Carlisle, you didn’t call a timeout at the last moment. Is it because of the ability to trust!? Do you think he can handle the final attack by himself?”
“Trust?” Carlisle stared at the reporter, as if surprised. “Sorry, I thought we were still two points ahead, so I forgot to call a timeout. After all, who would trust a lunatic who shoots outside the three-point line at a critical moment?”
After Carlisle finished speaking, he smiled at the camera. Regardless of the fact that this academy coach usually doesn’t talk much, but when he is in a good mood, he likes a little humor like Popovich.
2 to 1, Yiyang’s steady performance gave the Mavericks a valuable victory away. The total score of the series finally took the lead.
From inside to outside, from Griffin to Paul, the Clippers seem to have collapsed across the board. How long can Rivers last? No one knows.
But everyone knows that Chris Paul’s spell in the Western Conference Finals is probably hard to break this year.
