One Guard

Chapter 872 : Despair after the show

Curry’s “performance” before the game undoubtedly gave the Warriors fans confidence, as long as this guy feels it, even Yiyang can’t stop it. In the first game of the series, didn’t Curry score 44 points? If that game wasn’t for Yiyang’s magical lore, God knows what the final result will become.

Before the kick-off, the Oracle Arena was already full of voices. They all survived the last round of 2 to 3 behind. This time, they will definitely be able to survive the danger without risk!

The Warriors changed their starting lineup. Instead of playing Iguodala, they played Kevin Rooney at the fifth position, Green played at the fourth position, and Durant returned to the small forward position. This change is also Cole’s helpless move. Facts have proved that only Green is the only person in the post, and the Warriors are too passive. Gobert’s blocks and rebounds gave the Mavericks many counterattacks invisibly.

If you want to pinch the roots of the Mavericks’ counterattack, you have to pinch off their rebounds and blocks. Although Rooney’s height is only 2.06 meters, but at least he is a serious insider, able to fight hard, not to put the Warriors at a complete disadvantage.

On the Mavericks side, Rudy Gay is still playing the starting number four. Guy confronts Green, and to be honest, Carlisle is a little worried. But the Warriors should focus their offense on Durant, Curry and Thompson today, and Guy may not face too much defensive pressure.

In the battle of life and death, Durant frowned from the beginning. Until the referee’s whistle sounded, Durant retired directly.

Sure enough, Rooney lost in the scrimmage. In fact, the Warriors never thought about getting the first strike. In the previous five games, the Warriors never succeeded in winning the first strike.

“Defense! Defense! Defense!” In the first round of the game, Warriors fans shouted the word defense in the rhythm of the live DJ.

The voices of tens of thousands of people are neat and uniform, and the degree of shock is naturally needless to say. But for Yiyang, who was used to seeing the big scenes, this sound was as common as the sound of birds in the morning.

Today, Thompson is still defending Yiyang. Although Yiyang’s 36.5 points per game proved that Thompson’s defensive effect is very general, Kerr has no better choice. If Durant and Iguodala are allowed to defend Yiyang, who will be dealt with by the others?

Yiyang commanded the attack from the outside, waiting for his teammates to move. But today, the Warriors’ defense was extremely desperate, and in the end Gobert came out to block Yiyang. If there is no breakthrough to tear the defense, Yiyang will also find it difficult to find a pass.

As soon as Yiyang bypassed the cover, Rooney immediately changed defense. Changing defenses in the event of a pick-and-roll is definitely Cole’s defensive strategy. Facing Rooney, Yiyang didn’t play singles by himself, but hung the ball inside.

After receiving the basketball, Gobert leaned his back against Thompson and then scored a layup. Gobert’s height is beyond Thompson’s reach, and the Warriors’ unlimited defense changes seem to be somewhat ineffective.

“Also on the court, his thinking is very clear. He knows where the Warriors’ weaknesses are, and then he helps his teammates to kill with one blow!”

“After Rudy came back, he was in a very good form. The series averaged 14.8 points, 14.6 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game. His presence made it difficult for the Warriors to open the game inside!”

With the first goal in the opening game, the Warriors’ defense failed. Cole is also very helpless. If he doesn’t change defense, Yiyang may score! At that guy’s speed, as long as there is a gap, he can be caught! And once Yiyang breaks into the three-second zone, the defense has actually failed.

Yiyang ranks first in the league in blocked shots this season, and even smart point guards such as Paul and Rondo are behind Yiyang. No one could stop him when he forced a dunk. When playing tricks, you don’t know how Yiyang will put the ball in. So Corning was willing to let Gobert beat Thompson, and not let Yiyang enter the three-second zone.

Although they lost the ball as soon as they came up, the Warriors fans were not discouraged. Everyone has seen Curry’s performance just now. The hot touch of this guy today will definitely dominate the offense! No matter how bad it is, it can be tied with Yiyang!

But until the Warriors attacked past, they didn’t know what a real tight defense is!

Curry originally wanted to take advantage of Green’s cover and then directly take a three-pointer, but Yiyang immediately reached out after bypassing the cover, so that Curry had a palm in front of his eyes all the time, interfering with his vision!

Then Curry planned to return the ball to Green who was inside the basket. After all, facing Gay, Green has a huge advantage in weight and strength. But Guy’s defense is very chicken thieves, he stretched out an arm across Green’s eyes, cut off this passing route. Guy was very embarrassed by Green, but he never let go of the hand that interfered with the pass.

From the leading star of Yiyang to the role player like Guy, the Mavericks are armed to the teeth and vowed to achieve the ultimate defense!

In the end, Curry only gave the ball to Durant. Durant rushed to a mid-range emergency stop jumper, used his height advantage to hit Hayward and hit two points to equalize the score.

But compared to the smooth offense of the Mavericks, the Warriors’ offense feels very lame. They didn’t have any tactical effects at all, it was completely a problem that Durant used his personal ability to solve.

“The goal is still scored. This is the difference between a super scorer and others. But we must admit that the Mavericks defense is very good, even better than the first five games! The Warriors cannot rely on individual singles. Persevere until the end, they must find a way to crack the tight defense.”

The Warriors fans are cheering, and Mike Brin is worried about the Warriors. The Warriors’ passing route was obviously cut off just now. If it weren’t for Durant, the Warriors would not have scored those two points.

On the other side, the Mavericks’ offense is well-prepared. After just assisting Gobert to eat the cake, Yiyang once again used a breakthrough point to assist Mitchell in the three-pointer.

As Durant was worried, the Mavericks had no offensive focus at all. If other teams do not have an offensive focus, they will inevitably play chaotically. But under the control of Yiyang, the Mavericks played neatly even if they bloomed more. Everyone knows what they should do, and everyone knows whose turn it is to take the shot. They are not like a team, more like a machine that can’t make mistakes.

As soon as the game opened, the Mavericks were aggressive. As for Curry, who performed so much before the game, he hasn’t shown much performance yet.

Curry wanted to take a shot, but just like the previous two games, Yiyang would hardly lose his position.

Pick and roll, he can get rid of it quickly. Breakthrough, Yiyang can also stick to it in time.

Curry gave up the offense with the ball, hoping to get rid of Yiyang by running without the ball. But after running around halftime, Curry found himself doing useless work. No ball screen can’t stop Yiyang, and Curry can’t run faster than Yiyang. The Warriors’ tactics were still not played out. In the end, Durant held high to hit the crowd and succeeded in a difficult layup. Only then did the Warriors stabilize the score.

The Warriors’ offense was very difficult, and Curry was suppressed miserably on both ends of the offense and defense. It is the first time that people feel that a galaxy like a warrior is not powerful enough!

Back then, the Galaxy Battleship was forced to form by Yiyang. If the Warriors lose again this year, God knows there will be other superstars joining the ranks of “Anti-Yi”.

Neither Yiyang nor Curry scored, but now no one thinks Yiyang’s performance is poor. He didn’t score because he gave the opportunity to score to his teammates. And Curry didn’t score because he couldn’t score.

After Yiyang sent out two assists, the Warriors didn’t dare to defend all of them. In the last game, they were killed by Hayward because of their excessive defense against Yiyang. But without help, Thompson may not be able to stop the Dallas One.

Yiyang is still patiently organizing offenses. Unlike before, the Mavericks played very slowly and calmly today. Every ball and every attack will be carefully considered.

Yiyang and Hayward played a screen, then immediately returned the ball to Hayward, and Yiyang went to the basket. When the Warriors’ defense was shrinking, Yiyang suddenly ran back and returned to the right side of the three-point line to receive a basketball. At this time, everyone’s attention was on Yiyang, and the Warriors’ defense instantly dispersed. Seeing this opportunity, Yiyang dropped the ball inside.

The basketball crossed Rooney’s fingers and fell into Gobert’s hands. As the defensive lineup is scattered because of Yiyang, the Warriors’ basket is very empty now!

Drummond Green rushed towards Gobert like crazy, even if it fouls, at least Gobert’s free throw is not so stable.

However, Gobert calmed down at the basket and delivered the ball to Gay. It’s easy for Guy to score a zero-degree shot without defense.

“Yi’s command is too good. He knows how to use his threat to tear up the defense. He still didn’t score, and this time he didn’t even send out assists directly. But his is indeed the offensive core. Without him, the Mavericks simply can’t function. stand up.”

“The Warriors are too passive. They can’t be led by Yiyang’s nose to defend, but should use their own pressure to force Yiyang to make inappropriate choices!”

Mike Brin and Kevin Harlan both squeezed their sweat for the Warriors, and Yiyang’s control over the court is simply arbitrary!

The Warriors fell into a strange singles circle as soon as they came up, but the Mavericks played extremely smoothly. Cole doesn’t know what other way to deal with Yiyang, and now he can only work on the offensive end. At the critical moment, the rest of the Mavericks can no longer be so stable.

Afterwards, Curry finally scored points. But it was not a score in a sports battle, but a breakthrough that made Yiyang a foul.

But in any case, Curry also broke the scoring shortage and gave Warriors fans a lot of confidence. However, this ball was also blown, and it was very controversial. If it wasn’t Curry who broke through with the ball but someone else, maybe this whistle wouldn’t sound.

The first eight minutes of the first quarter were spent in this dull, slow-paced battle. The Warriors use their personal ability to solve problems, and the Mavericks rely on smooth passes to cut defenses. After eight minutes of the game, the Mavericks led by 16 to 12 by 4 points. Both sides didn’t score high in this game, mainly because the defense was extremely dead. Although the Mavericks have a high hit rate, they have a slow pace and few rounds. The Warriors had slightly more rounds, but they also missed too many goals.

When Thompson threw off Mitchell with his superb running position and fired a long shot from the right bottom corner to narrow the difference to only one point, Carlisle called a timeout.

Cole immediately beamed his eyes! According to Carlisle’s past habits, he will definitely replace Yiyang at the eighty or nine minutes in the first quarter!

As soon as Yiyang takes a break, the Mavericks’ offense and defense will not be so magical!

He hurriedly greeted Curry to his side. “Stephen, the opportunity is here to increase your number of shots. I want you to play a few more minutes! Less than four minutes, more than three minutes, we have the opportunity to open the score! As long as we get the lead, we won’t do it again. I was led by their noses and left!”

Cole is counting on Yiyang’s few minutes to rest, and neither Mudiay nor Barea will be able to bring pressure to Curry!

Curry nodded. Just over eight minutes into the game, Curry scored in a sports game, but it was transferred to Hayward’s head. It was really aggrieved. Only three shots in eight minutes, this is not the state that a leading star should take out. After Yiyang comes to an end, he must double return all his sorrows!

At this time, beside the Mavericks bench, after Carlisle arranged the tactics, Yiyang did not idle, but pulled Mudiay and the others to whisper something. While speaking, they also made gestures.

When the timeout was over and Curry stepped onto the court, he found that Yiyang, with a seemingly non-existent smile, once again crossed in front of him.

A sense of weakness spread from the soles of Curry’s feet to the spinal cord. It seems that Yiyang is going to accompany him to the end.
