One Guard

Chapter 200: Time Bomb (Part 2)

\u003ccontent\u003e

With two free throws and one throw, Cousins' technical foul gave the Mavericks a chance to equalize or even overtake the score. Westphal was arguing fiercely with the referee, and the manager knows that arguing with the referee will not change anything now. The reason why he still does this is entirely in the hope of putting pressure on the referee, hoping that the referee's whistle will be more towards the Kings in the next game.

However, it remains to be seen whether this will have any effect. Carlisle signaled Yiyang, who was the most stable player today, to step up to the free throw line to execute the two free throws.

Free throws for technical fouls are slightly different from free throws for ordinary fouls. Although both free throws are made twice, for free throws for technical fouls, everyone must retreat to the three-point line except for the player who executes the free throw. There is no such thing as rebounding. Say.

It stands to reason that it would be better for free throwers if no one is interfering. However, some players with poor psychological quality will lose their accuracy due to excessive pressure when there is no interference.

However, Carlisle doesn't have to worry about such a problem happening to Yiyang. Although he is only a rookie, the calmness and composure of the No. 1 guard is beyond the reach of many veterans.

Although the fans of the Kings tried their best to interfere with boos, Yiyang still made two free throws to tie the score. After the score was tied, the Kings had to defend an offense from the Mavericks. The success or failure of this attack will directly determine whether the leading positions of the two teams will be exchanged.

Nowitzki was preparing for a free throw on the sideline, and at this moment, Tyreke Evans was already entangled with Yiyang. Now Yiyang, not to mention holding the ball to score, it is very difficult for him to even catch the ball.

In the end, it was Tyson Chandler who tacitly set up an off-ball pick-and-roll for Yiyang, and Yiyang was able to catch Dirk's sideline ball out of the gap. However, when Yiyang received the basketball face frame, the number 13 of the Kings lingered on it again.

"Evans' defense is too tight. This guy can concentrate his attention on both ends of the offense and defense. Let's see, this time, how he will break out of the encirclement!"

Evans' long arm was protruding again and again, and Yiyang also used his skillful ball-handling skills to avoid the big hands of the former best rookie. Although the two seem to be competing, Yiyang is not obsessed with singles. While avoiding Evans' steals, Yiyang is also observing the running positions of his teammates.

When Nowitzki mentioned the high position, Yiyang immediately passed the ball, allowing Dirk to hold the ball at this high point, while he started to run at full speed.

When Yiyang ran to Dirk, Nowitzki also reached out and handed the basketball to Yiyang. After the ball was taken away, Dirk took advantage of the situation and delayed Evans' pursuit.

Just like that, Yiyang rushed to the penalty area again with a half body lead. If it was a minute ago, Cousins ​​would have stood under the basket, waiting for Yiyang to come to his door, and then giving him a good look.

But now, Cousins ​​has committed three fouls and one technical foul. If he gets into foul trouble again, presumably the head coach will definitely replace him.

Although Cousins ​​is prone to heat, he has not lost the most basic thinking ability. When Yiyang stepped into the three-second zone and made a three-step layup, Cousins ​​didn't dare to take off, but just raised his arms high, intending to use his strong body to interfere with Yiyang's layup.

Yiyang and Cousins' bodies touched each other, and under the blockade of the two strong men, Evans and Cousins, Yiyang's torso lost its balance in the air. However, the hand he was holding the basketball kept in motion.

Yiyang tried to maintain his balance and sent the basketball to the backboard. After that, the No. 1 guard lost his center of gravity and fell from the air, but the basketball that was pushed out was accurately refracted into the backboard.

"It was also brought down, but the referee thought there was no foul! Cousins ​​was a little timid, this guy has been limited by his own fouls!"

"He committed 3 fouls before the end of the second quarter. I think Cousins ​​will play quite passively in the following games."

In the stands, the commentators were all worried about Cousins. On the court, Yiyang has also led the Mavericks to complete a 10-point overtake.

A 10-0 climax made Westphal a little nervous.

The game continued, the Kings attacked, and Cousins ​​finally came out, setting up an off-ball screen for Evans.

Evans steadily received the ball fed by Udrih through the pick-and-roll, and then took advantage of Yiyang's opportunity to make up the defense, and directly took off to shoot.

However, Evans' lack of stable shooting is now reflected. This shot cannot be said to be an opportunity. For most NBA players, they can convert this 50-50 opportunity into two points. But Evans really did not grasp it, and his shot missed again.

"Tyreke's shooting still needs to be practiced, no, wait! DeMarcus! DeMarcus Cousins ​​got the offensive rebound!" Mike Breen thought the Kings' offense had arrived This is the end, but unexpectedly the rebellious big rookie took the rebound from Chandler's head abruptly.

Chandler, who was physically exhausted, failed to stabilize his position this time, allowing Cousins ​​to grab the rebound from behind. After Cousins ​​got the rebound, he didn't look at his teammates at all, but made a layup on the spot!

Although Chandler has a hot temper, he will not be as impulsive as Cousins. The experienced top rim protector just stood there with his arms up high, using his strong body to form a high wall in front of the rim.

Cousins ​​made a layup directly under the obstruction of Chandler's "high wall". After grabbing the offensive rebound, there is nothing wrong with the inside players directly attacking the frame. But Cousins ​​got the rebound behind Chandler, which meant he didn't get rid of the defense at all when he hit the rim. This kind of direct strong choice is no different from shooting directly without throwing off the defensive player.

Sure enough, although Chandler didn't jump or move, he just stood there with his arms raised high. But what he did made Cousins' layup slip off the basket and fail to score!

This time Cousins ​​just wanted to yell at the referee and couldn't find a reason. The Kings hadn't scored for several minutes, and most of these opportunities were wasted in Cousins' hands!

"Stay steady! Play slowly!" Seeing that Chandler successfully defended Cousins, Carlisle immediately shouted tactics from the sidelines. He hopes that the team can control the situation, and the metronome to control the situation is Yiyang.

Yiyang received a pass from Nowitzki, and trotted across the half court in a leisurely manner. Yiyang made a few gestures, and Chandler, who was on the inside, suddenly started to ask for a position on the inside!

Chandler is not the Mavericks' scoring point. More often, he is only responsible for defense, rebounding and setting up screens. But at this moment, Chandler, who has always been very low-key on the offensive end, is actively fighting Cousins.

Yiyang slapped the ball on the ground casually, but the basketball bounced back into Chandler's hands precisely. At this time, Chandler's position is already very deep, and Yiyang's pass is just right so that "Champion" does not need to adjust.

So this strong center, who had been frustrated for the whole game, leaned on Cousins ​​and turned around directly! Turning around, the basket is in front of Chandler. The muscular man kicked his calf vigorously, and his huge body "jumped into the sky" straight like a rocket.

Cousins ​​didn't dare to foul, so he didn't take off to confront Chandler. Just like that, Cousins ​​watched Chandler jump and dunk on his head!

"Another dunk, the Mavericks settled the fight in just ten seconds! Chandler's position and the pass were perfectly connected, and Tyson was able to attack the basket as soon as he caught the ball."

Chandler smashed the buckle with both hands, making the Kings passive for the first time today. And Westphal was also forced to stop the game.

Cousins ​​walked off the court in dissatisfaction. If the damn referee hadn't given himself a technical foul, he wouldn't have to be so afraid now.

Temper control? This kind of thing is simply unbelievable in Cousins' view.

Westphal held the tactical board tightly with both hands, and the original white tactical board was now messed up by him. ?? He stared at his players, speaking slowly but firmly: "I have only one request for this game-win!"

What? Sacramento Kings want to beat Dallas Mavericks?

If this sentence is said before the start of the game, everyone who hears it will burst into laughter, as if watching a comedy movie and find it nonsensical.

But now, after the Kings led for a quarter and a half before being overtaken, Westphal, who has won only 12 games this season, has no desire to lose again.

Although the record of the Mavericks is not at the same level as that of the Kings, there are many problems exposed by the Mavericks today. And these problems are the life-saving straw for Westphal and the Kings.

"That guy is really an eyesore!" On the other side, on the Mavericks' bench, Carlisle pointed at Cousins ​​and shouted at his players.

"He has fouled three times! We have no reason to give him a chance to breathe! He did a good job with Tyson just now. As long as he can fight, try to hit me on Cousins! If Cousins ​​​​can't play , these guys have nothing to fear!" Now that the Mavericks are in a physical crisis and want to win, Carlisle has to use some "special" means. His method is to encourage players to attack Cousins ​​more.

Although the score was overtaken, when the game restarted, the cheers of the Kings fans did not diminish in the slightest. After all, it was not easy for the Mavericks to complete the overtake process. They are full of confidence in their team and hope that this timeout can bring this group of lads back to life.

The Kings reorganized their offense, this time with the ball directly in Evans' hands. Evans performed very well in the first quarter, but his efficiency seemed to decline in the second quarter under Yiyang's candy-like defense.

This time, Evans was not polite to Yiyang, but called the team's power forward Jason Thompson to set up a pick-and-roll for him.

As soon as the screen was set up, Evans changed his dribbling rhythm and tried to break through!

Yiyang immediately made a detour, but Evans suddenly changed direction and chose to accelerate to the side without the pick-and-roll!

Yiyang immediately changed his center of gravity and swooped towards Evans. At the same time, Chandler also dropped Cousins ​​to make up for the basket, and Yiyang lost his position. This means that Evans may attack the frame at any time, and the "Champion" must take all precautions.

Evans' defense allowed Yiyang and Chandler to form an arc-shaped encirclement. Evans was inside the encirclement, and Cousins ​​was outside the encirclement.

Although Evans is not a pure point guard, he is indeed very happy to share the ball with his teammates. Seeing that he had attracted the defense of the other two, Evans smashed the ball hard on the ground. The basketball passed through the gap between Yiyang and Chandler, rebounded suddenly, and came into the hands of Cousins!

Chandler reacted quickly, turned around immediately, and raised his arms high. Cousins ​​took a step after getting the ball, then leaned on Chandler and threw the basketball to the basket.

The basketball is slowly rising, and many commentators are already applauding the exquisite cooperation between Evans and Cousins.

The spinning basketball draws a beautiful arc, shooting through Chandler's ten fingers with his arms raised high like an arrow, just waiting to fall into the ball!

Just as the basketball was about to start falling, a yellow-skinned figure suddenly appeared beside the ball.

The Chinese, wearing the No. 1 jersey of the Dallas Mavericks, used a volleyball smash action to slap the basketball climbing in the air and flew beyond the three-point line!

"What a fantastic block by yi!!" Van Gundy's voice had already begun to echo in the living rooms of countless families. Cousins' mind went blank, and only heard the sound of exclamation from the Sleeping Train Arena...\u003c /content\u003e
