One Guard

Chapter 219: 2nd, 3rd, 17th

phone-reading

A Monta Ellis-style 360-degree turn-around layup in the air made all 15,000 fans in the Fuguo Center Arena shut up.

As for Reggie Miller and Chris Webber, these two guys even forgot to close their wide open mouths.

The scariest thing was that the No. 1 defender didn't celebrate after completing this series of actions, but just ran away silently. As if, this is just a routine goal, not worth mentioning at all.

Evan Turner, who was sitting on the bench, was stunned. The scene just now seemed familiar to him.

Suddenly, the No. 2 pick in 2010 came to mind. When I played against Yiyang for the first time, I was still on the NCAA field. Ohio State University center Jason Iman was the background behind Yiyang's first 360-degree turn and layup in the air. At that time, Turner saw this incredible scene on the field.

Unexpectedly, more than a year later, in the NBA arena, Yiyang actually staged such a performance again.

Frustration, this scene filled Evan Turner with infinite frustration. Yiyang has already been able to transfer the wonderful shots he scored in the NCAA period to the NBA arena, but he was just an ordinary substitute player in the NCAA period.

When Yiyang ran back to his own half and gave his teammates high-fives to celebrate, the boos in the Fuguo Center Arena came late.

Yiyang passed Holiday and Meeks in a row, and finally scored this goal on the head of Iguodala, a defensive champion, which is destined to be selected as the top five of the day. From grabbing a rebound to a successful layup, every step is the essence!

And it took Yiyang less than ten seconds to complete this essence attack.

Just like Reggie Miller's premonition, the entire Wells Fargo Center Arena was electrocuted. Moreover, the people who have been electrocuted are still in a paralyzed state.

"Damn it, I should have fouled!" Iguodala waved his hand unwillingly. Instead of being Yiyang's background board, he might as well just put Yiyang down. But before that, who would have thought that Yiyang would use such a method to complete the layup? Before that, Iguodala was confident about his defense.

"What are you still doing in a daze! The game is not over yet, keep attacking, attack!" Collins tried to maintain his composure and shouted at the players on the field. But in fact, the ball just now also shocked Collins very much.

From the start of the third quarter to the present, the 76ers have been hit hard. Now, the 76ers, eager to establish an advantage, have fallen behind by a full 5 points.

Sometimes, 5 points difference may not change anything at all. But a goal that severely damages the opponent's morale can be very powerful.

When Holiday took possession of the ball again and attacked towards Yiyang, he seemed to have lost the vigor he had in the first half of the game. A 15-minute intermission cooled Holiday's fiery touch. Yiyang's wonderful goal also poured cold water on Holiday's fiery heart.

In this attack, Holiday was obviously a little timid. He didn't want to be intercepted by Yiyang again, and he didn't want to let Yiyang play wonderful offense again. But in the third quarter, Collins' tactics were all aimed at Holiday. If the No. 11 guard dare not play, then the tactics of the 76ers will naturally not be able to be effectively implemented.

The basketball hit Holiday several times, but Holiday saw that there was no chance, so he passed the basketball out again.

As a point guard, the first priority should be to organize the offense, which is understandable. But organizing an offense is not just passing the ball.

When you pass the ball when the team needs it, that's called playmaking. But when the team needs you to score and you pass the ball, that's called shirking responsibility.

The current Holiday obviously belongs to the latter.

Iguodala saw that Holiday didn't attack for a long time, so he picked up the basketball and went to the basket to kill.

However, Peja's height advantage still adds a lot of difficulty to Iguodala's offense.

Iguodala is definitely a star, and a very functional one that every team aspires to have. But he is by no means a super scorer. Under Peja's high pressure and Chandler's timely block, Iguodala missed a layup surrounded by the two.

The 76ers lost another chance to score. The basketball was given to Yiyang, and the hearts of all 76ers fans couldn't stop beating wildly. They are not excited, but scared!

Yiyang, who had just completed a high-speed attack and successfully scored, this time, he advanced slowly and unhurriedly. Whatever the team needs Yiyang to do, Yiyang can stand up in time. Perhaps, the biggest difference between Holiday and Yiyang is not the arm span of a few centimeters, but this is the biggest difference between him and Holiday.

"Push it up, push it up!" Seeing that Holiday gave Yiyang a few steps of space with some fear, Collins, the proud former champion, was furious. If a guy like Yiyang is allowed to move freely, it will be even more difficult to defend in the future.

Huo Ledi was undecided, and after hesitating for a while, he moved his steps forward. If he had pressed against Yiyang from the beginning, then Yiyang might have been really tricky. But he made a decision after hesitation, and for Yiyang, it was a real opportunity.

Huo Ledi stepped forward, while Yiyang suddenly accelerated. The two were moving in different directions, if Huo Ledi wanted to block Yiyang, he had to quickly change his center of gravity.

But no matter how fast Huo Ledi turns around, can he surpass Yiyang's breakthrough? Seeing this murderous guy attacking the penalty area again, the 76ers' defense began to shrink unconsciously.

"No, no! Be optimistic about your own matchup, don't shrink!" Collins yelled from the sidelines, but before the players could react, Yiyang's ball had already passed.

Nowitzki caught the ball firmly at a position 45 degrees outside the left three-point line. This is the second time he has received a point from Yiyang here today. And both times, after Yiyang broke through to attract the defense, Dirk got the opportunity.

Nowitzki shot the basketball leisurely as if he was doing shooting training. This orange basketball is like a precise depth charge, "exploded" in the basket, and a "white wave" exploded.

Dirk's three-pointer undoubtedly made up for the already beaten 76ers. With a difference of 8 points, Collins, who originally hoped to establish an advantage, is now about to be suppressed by the Mavericks.

Without hesitation, the former No. 1 guard stopped the game. As the players walked off the court, Collins felt as if he had traveled back in time to the end of the first quarter.

His players bowed their heads in silence, as if they had lost the game. Everything is almost exactly the same as it was at the end of the first quarter. The only difference is that this time, Collins may not be so easy to motivate his players.

The beautiful goals of Yiyang and Dirk have already broken the hearts of these guys.

After returning from the timeout, fans of the 76ers hope that the game will improve. But when Jody Meeks' mid-range shot added another rebound to Yiyang, people fell to the brink of despair.

But the fans of the 76ers did not stay on the brink of despair for too long, because after grabbing the rebound, Yiyang, who controlled the ball and advanced, through a series of organization and running without the ball, finally succeeded in making an air cut and received Peja's precise shot. The direct pass sneak attack succeeded.

The point difference on the field was reduced to 10 points by Yiyang, and the fans of the 76ers team were completely pushed into the abyss of despair by Yiyang!

Collins sighed helplessly off the court, Holiday was good enough, but he was still overwhelmed by Yiyang. Could this be the difference between the third pick and the seventeenth pick? Then why is their second place not so good?

"Hey." With a sigh, it seemed that even Collins' blood began to cool down.

The subsequent games did not rely on lore shots to decide the outcome, as predicted by Reggie Miller and Chris Webber.

Although the 76ers have been biting the score hard, no matter how hard they try, they have been unable to see the hope of victory.

Yiyang's all-round performance made Holiday completely sink in the second half of the game. Rebounds, assists, steals or scoring, Yiyang has done very well. This is also the reason why Kidd didn't worry about the outcome of the game at the end of the halftime game. He has long seen that Yiyang's current state cannot be defeated by just anyone.

Collins looked at his watch. Before he knew it, the game had reached the eighth minute of the fourth quarter, and the 76ers were still 10 points behind.

"Are you throwing in the towel, Doug?" Collins thought to himself, then shook his head silently.

Afterwards, Collins replaced Louis Williams, a chaotic master who averaged 13 points per game, and pushed Holiday to the second position.

Reggie Miller took a look at Collins on the field. Does he know what this decision means-Holiday will be forced to avoid the edge of the Mavericks' No. 1 guard. To put it bluntly, this is called "tactical transfer", saying It doesn't sound good, that's "escape"!

After Huo Ledi avoided Yiyang, his confidence soared and his performance also improved. And Williams, who met Yiyang, was not so lucky. This guy who was defended by Yiyang and only made one of four shots in three minutes, deeply realized how difficult it was for Holiday to play on the court before.

Although Huo Ledi's performance has improved, but Yiyang's performance has not been affected in any way. The Mavericks still maintain the lead, and the time left for the 76ers has become less and less.

Collins sighed as Yiyang grabbed the offensive rebound over the exhausted Hawes to get his tenth rebound of the day and assisted Peja to hit a three-pointer.

"We lost." The No. 1 guard muttered to himself again, then slumped back to the bench.

"The game is over. Although there is still one minute left in the game, the game is actually over! Coach Carlisle replaced Yi. This guard who scored 26 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds is undoubtedly the number one contributor to the Mavericks' victory today. .You read it right, and I said it right, and I scored a triple-double today! Ladies and gentlemen, a yellow-skinned Jason Kidd was born in Philadelphia!"

The fans of the 76ers fell into silence, and Reggie Miller's voice became the only living thing in the stands.
