One Guard

The video of Yiyang brutally torturing Alfred Claire was widely reposted on the Internet. The guy known as the New King of California didn't even try to stop Yiyang on the basketball court, which made him lose face even more.

The next day, countless Los Angeles street ballers retweeted the videos and felt that Alfred had brought disgrace to the California street basketball scene. It's not that it's embarrassing to lose to Yiyang, but it's the most embarrassing thing about not being able to guard against it even after trying all the dirty tricks.

At this time, Alfred's character inside and outside his circle was completely ruined. At first, Alfred wanted to use his experience of dueling with Yiyang to increase his popularity. Unexpectedly, he was completely outcast now.

So sometimes, people still need to be self-aware. If you don't overestimate your capabilities, you will end up with such a result. James can indeed push Yiyang away for easy layups many times, but it has to be LeBron James.

After that, Alfred never posted anything related to Yiyang on his Twitter. After being taught such a terrible lesson by others, he was really embarrassed to speak arrogantly again.

Yiyang couldn't help but shook his head when he looked at the videos on the Internet about Alfred and himself dueling. Did you take yourself too seriously yesterday? There is no way, that Alfred guy is too weak.

In the past, when Yiyang played with Mudiay, Yiyang could pretend to let off steam. But with Alfred, Yiyang didn't even know how to release the water.

After laughing, Yiyang turned off the video, put the phone aside, and his expression became serious again.

Just think of Alfred's matter as entertainment during the tense season. Tonight, the showdown with Stephen Curry is the real highlight.

"Also, you will have a heavy defensive task today. Stephen is undoubtedly the number one scoring point for the Warriors now. His shots are very fast, his breakthroughs are very smart, and his shot selection is unreasonable. You have to be more serious about defending him. That’s all.”

Before the players took the field to warm up, Carlisle was still explaining to the players the precautions for this game. Losing to the defending champion Heat Carlisle is acceptable, but Carlisle will not be happy if it loses to a team outside the top eight in the Western Conference. So today, the Mavericks cannot make mistakes no matter what, and must keep the victory at home!

Yiyang nodded. It was precisely because of the heavy task of defending Curry that Yiyang was so excited.

On the other side, the atmosphere in the Warriors' locker room was relatively relaxed. Curry is definitely an optimistic guy. If other guards were to face Yu Yiyang now, they would definitely be frowning and stern. But Curry is different. This guy is joking with his teammates in the locker room as always, looking as if the next opponent is not worth mentioning at all.

In fact, this is not because Curry looks down on Yiyang. Now everyone in the league knows that Yiyang is not easy to mess with, except for that idiot Howard. But the reason why Curry is so relaxed is entirely because of his personality and his confidence!

In front of Yiyang, Curry believed that he could still do a great job!

The two teams entered the court with completely different mentality. The only thing Yiyang did on the court was to warm up. And what about Curry? He joked with his teammates for a while, and showed off his dancing skills for a while. In short, it’s just as easy as you can get.

"Yi and Stephen are completely different players, but this does not mean that there is a big gap in their strength. I believe that Stephen will give Yi a lot of trouble today."

"Stephen may not know who he is facing, otherwise he would not be able to laugh."

People also have different opinions on the attitudes of Curry and Yiyang. For Yiyang, it doesn't matter what kind of character Curry is. What matters is how to deal with him later in the game.

As the noise in the stadium grew louder, this defender showdown, which attracted much attention from fans, officially began. The Warriors' No. 1 pick in 2005, Australian center Andrew Bogut, easily snatched the ball from Dalembert's head. Curry caught the basketball and directed it slowly and leisurely, quite like a general.

From the relaxed look in Curry's eyes, Yiyang couldn't guess what No. 30 wanted to do. Although Curry is thin, his shooting and breakthrough are quite deadly. In just a split second, Curry can determine the winner in front of a defensive player.

Curry walked in front of Yiyang, and at the same time Bogut's pick-and-roll arrived just in time. Curry didn't hesitate at all and immediately used the pick-and-roll to break through!

Rather than saying that Curry made a breakthrough, it would be better to say that he took a step diagonally backward. Yiyang wanted to rush forward quickly, but Bogut quietly moved his lower body to block Curry behind him.

A moving pick-and-roll that the referee did not notice, Yiyang had to suffer a hidden loss. After Curry got rid of the defense, he did not break through or pass the ball. Instead, he retreated one step beyond the three-point line and shot directly!

Curry's shooting action looks very casual and not standard. In fact, this is not the case. It is because his shooting speed is too fast, which gives people the illusion of being substandard.

Yiyang also watched a lot of Curry's game videos. So he knows very well that once Curry gets space to shoot, it will be a disaster!

"Brush!" The next second, the sound of the tumbling nets echoed throughout the audience. As soon as Stephen Curry opened the game, he used his best method to give the Mavericks a head-on blow!

"Amazing goal, haha. Now we rarely see defenders who can easily get rid of Yi's defense and score. Stephen's relaxed state has continued on the basketball court. Facts have proved that you don't have to stretch yourself. You have to work hard to play basketball well.”

Mike Breen hasn't praised the players defended by Yiyang for a long time, because most of the players defended by Yiyang generally fail to perform well. But today, Curry broke Yiyang's month-long dominance of his matchup.

After scoring the goal, Curry smiled slightly, and his baby face looked so lovable. After high-fiving Klay Thompson, Curry opened his arms and defended seriously. Facing Yiyang, Curry was not afraid at all.

"Be careful, buddy, that guy Stephen is very cunning!" Iguodala, who was about to take the baseline kick, was an old acquaintance of Curry. The Nuggets and Warriors met in the playoffs last season, and he had already experienced Curry's The power.

Yiyang smiled and did not answer. If he is not strong, he will be really sorry for his expectations for this game.

The Mavericks counterattacked, and looking at the Warriors' half, they actually didn't have a bad defense.

Although Stephen Curry is thin, he is very smart and is a famously fast player. If he is not careful, he will steal the ball.

Klay Thompson plays hard defense and is a very likeable "3D" player who is proficient in three-pointers and defense. And Harrison Barnes, another young man on the Warriors, whose excellent strength and confrontation ability will not let his opponents take advantage on the defensive end. In fact, if it weren't for Cuban's interception this summer, the Warriors' starting small forward would have been Iguodala. But even so, second-year Harrison Barnes is barely enough.

As for David Lee and Bogut, the two veteran insiders, they have a lot of experience in defense. People are attracted by the Warriors' unique offensive model, but in fact, Mark Jackson also worked hard on the Warriors' defense.

Yiyang faced off against Curry, and the fans in the American Airlines Center Arena screamed. Curry just hit a three-pointer, and now the fans hope that Yiyang can score a goal back.

But Yiyang is not obsessed with dueling with Curry. In his mind, the overall situation always comes first. Seeing Iguodala get rid of Barnes by running back, Yiyang did not hesitate and immediately released the ball, allowing Iguodala to get a chance when he cut inside.

But Bogut's reaction speed was very fast. As soon as Iguodala received the basketball, Bogut was already on his breakthrough route.

As a rough Australian, Bogut is quite intimidating in the paint. Seeing this situation, Iguodala made a sudden stop and passed the ball back to Yiyang, allowing him to focus on organizing the offense.

Yiyang shook his head. Bogut's defense just now was indeed quite beautiful. But he was able to stop Iguodala because Iguodala was not fast enough!

After Yiyang received the basketball again, he didn't make any extra moves and directly accelerated to break through!

Curry's reaction was very quick, almost on the same level as Yiyang's. He immediately took a step sideways, trying to block Yiyang's way.

But Curry's frail body was now exposed. Yiyang pushed hard and forcefully passed through Curry.

Bogut knew he had to make up for it now, but his heavy body refused to obey him. When he finally took a step forward, Yiyang, who was as fast as lightning, had already entered the three-second zone!

Yiyang didn't hesitate and jumped directly. He believed that he had the means to deal with the strong Australian man.

Bogut had no choice but to jump up hastily to interfere with Yiyang's layup. This time the defense does not require blocking Yiyang, as long as it can interfere with him in the air, Bogut will be thankful.

Bogut jumped together, and Yiyang felt as if a high wall had risen out of thin air in front of him. But he was already prepared. Yiyang's waist and abdomen in the air suddenly exerted force, causing himself to spin in the air.

"Yi is spinning his body in the air, what does he want to do!?"

Yiyang used Bogut as his axis and completed a 360° turn in the air! This turn allowed Yiyang to pass by Bogut while gliding!

However, after turning around, everything was not over yet. Yiyang raised the basketball with his right hand and was about to put it into the basket, but found that David Lee had already made up for it.

This really gave Yiyang a big surprise. He originally thought Bogut was the last line of defense, but unexpectedly there was David Lee behind him.

Although the situation was tense, Ke Yiyang still remained calm. He twisted his body, suddenly changed the ball from his right hand to his left hand, avoided David Lee's block, and then firmly put the ball in the frame without any center of gravity.

With an unstable center of gravity, Yiyang fell out of the baseline, and the basketball went hollow into the net. Seeing this kind of goal, everyone in the audience, including Yiyang's teammates, widened their eyes.

A 360° turn in the air for a layup is Monta Ellis's signature move, and it is also a trick commonly used by many NBA defenders when facing blocks from big men. But after turning around, there is a change of hands. Mark Jackson believes that apart from Yiyang, the only people in the league who can make such a move may be Cleveland's Kyrie Irving and Washington's John Wall.

Monta Ellis is a defender with a lot of work, but Curry, who has been teammates with Monta Ellis for several years, was still shocked by Yiyang's goal. Are you sure that the Chinese guy is not trying to trick Wia behind his back?

After scoring the goal, Yiyang rubbed his badly beaten butt and got up with a smile.

He was still laughing after a huge fall. Could it be that Yiyang was knocked stupid?

Of course not. After completing the layup with an extremely difficult move, Yiyang just felt that this kind of fun game was so damn good!

Yiyang hurried back to defense, looking very excited. Come on Stephen, in today's 48 minutes, let's blow up the entire arena!

An unreasonable three-pointer, a computer-generated layup. Mike Breen couldn't help but unbutton the first button on his white shirt because he was afraid that he would be out of breath later due to the exciting game.
