One Guard

"Chapter error, click here to report"

In this season's MVP rankings, Yiyang and Durant have been competing with each other. The first and second positions in the prediction rankings have always been taken by two people.

Durant averaged 32 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in the regular season. His performance was very comprehensive, and his high score of 32 points per game naturally allowed Durant to win the title of scoring champion this season.

Yiyang's performance is very "epoch-making". Although Yiyang's average of 30.2 points per game is not as good as Durant's, last season, it far surpassed Anthony, the scoring champion.

The most important thing is that in addition to 30.2 points, Yiyang also averaged 11.8 assists per game. He averaged 11.8 assists per game, which was even more exaggerated than Yiyang’s 11.3 last year. What's even more exaggerated is that this is the highest number of assists per game in an NBA single season in 19 years since Stockton averaged 12.3 assists per game in the 1994-95 season!

What is the concept of 19 years? This period of time is enough for the league to experience the rise and fall of an entire generation of players. During this period, whether it was Kidd or Nash, Paul or Rondo. These great names have never achieved the feat of averaging as many as 11.8 assists per game in a single season.

And there is an even more terrifying statistic, which seems to have allowed Yiyang to firmly hold the MVP trophy in his hands. This data is that Yiyang is the first player in NBA history in 40 years to average 30+ points and 10+ assists per game in a single season. This is why Yiyang's data is "epoch-making".

For ordinary players, it is not easy to score more than 30 points in a single game or to assist more than 10 in a single game. Because this not only requires the player to perform well in a certain game, but also requires him to maintain an efficient level throughout the season. First of all, injuries are a major problem affecting players. If you maintain an efficient state all the time, it may be too much for the body and there is a risk of injury. Secondly, if you want to score higher, you need a strong ability to convince your teammates and trust the coach. It is truly a miracle that he can maintain his full form for a whole season without being troubled by injuries.

The last time someone averaged 30+10 points and assists per game was Nat Archibald in the 1972-1973 season. Nate Archibald, who was playing for the Kings at the time, averaged 34.0 points and 11.4 assists per game throughout the season. He was also the only player in NBA history to win both the scoring and assist titles in a single season. However, this record is likely to be broken by Yiyang within a few years.

Of course, when it comes to players who averaged 30+10 points and assists per game in a single season, there is another great god in NBA history. He is the legendary "Big O" Oscar Robertson. In his career, "Big O" has achieved this for 5 seasons, and he also reached this height for four consecutive seasons from 1963 to 1967.

But in the "ancient times" NBA league, no one will be too surprised by any data. After all, basketball at that time was far different from what it is now.

But in modern basketball, where the competition is more intense and the level is higher, you can still average 30+10 points and assists per game. So many great players have never done it in the past 40 years. You know how difficult this is. .

Such exaggerated statistics coupled with the Mavericks' excellent record of 69 wins have made the outside world almost unanimously believe that the MVP honor of this game will be none other than Yiyang.

Durant's statistics are indeed excellent, but compared with Yiyang's epoch-making achievements, they still pale a lot.

Although the award winner has not yet been officially announced, the aura of MVP has undoubtedly shrouded Yiyang's head.

But, as the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind. Yiyang's epoch-making statistics and the news that he is about to win the MVP seem to be very inconsistent with the Mavericks' first defeat in the Western Conference semifinals.

The media in Los Angeles are undoubtedly not ridiculing: "The man who is known as the greatest point guard in the second decade of the 21st century,

Unable to lead the team to victory. It seems that the word ‘great’ is really overused nowadays. "

This view is recognized by almost all media in Los Angeles, or in other words, all media that don't like Yiyang. Even if a player scores beautiful statistics, but he cannot lead the team to win, it will never have anything to do with the word "great".

Judging from the last game, Paul's control of the game seems to be more mature. The Clippers also won the victory naturally.

Attack and doubt, two things that have been with Yiyang throughout his career, have come out to cause trouble again. So in the NBA, no matter how exaggerated your statistics are, they are all false. Only victory is the truth.

"Hmph, when we win this game, they will have nothing to say." After reading an article criticizing Yiyang on his phone, Gobert put his phone in the locker and began to change equipment.

Dalembert's injury means that Rudy Gobert will start today. Although this is not the first time he has started in the playoffs, starting against the Clippers and starting against the Warriors are two completely different concepts.

The French know very well that the defeat in the last game will not shake Yiyang's greatness at all. Because the Mavericks lost entirely because of themselves.

Does Paul have more mature control over the game? That's just because DeAndre Jordan and Griffin won't miss Paul's lob passes.

Gobert kept in mind what the "old man" and Yiyang said to him yesterday. The three-second zone is his territory and cannot be trampled upon by others!

While the players were silently changing their equipment, Carlisle burst in through the door. As soon as he entered the door, he clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention on himself.

"It's the second game, guys, we've let the Los Angeles people steal a victory here. Today, no matter what, we can't let the same thing happen again!" Carlisle said, glanced at Gobert, but said nothing. . He didn't want to put pressure on the young Frenchman, so he let him take off his burdens and perform to his fullest.

"Don't worry, boss, we will make the proud Los Angeles people walk around with nothing to eat!" Nowitzki stood up and echoed loudly, which undoubtedly aroused the enthusiasm of the players.

After that, everyone's eyes fell on Yiyang. Three or four years ago, Nowitzki must have led a group of Mavericks players out of the locker room, and then Yi Yang walked at the back of the team.

But now, things are completely different. As the star player of the Mavericks, Yiyang naturally has to lead everyone on the field.

Yiyang didn't speak, but his eyes were firm. He stood up and looked around at his teammates in the locker room.

"Beat the shit out of them!" A few simple words made all the Mavericks players excited.

"Ho ho ho ho... Come on!" a group of strong men shouted, following Yiyang and rushing out of the locker room.

Carlisle smiled, Yiyang's imprint on this team is really getting deeper and deeper.

When Chris Paul once again saw the Mavericks players on the wooden floor of the American Airlines Center Arena, he even wondered whether it was the Mavericks or the Clippers who won the game the day before yesterday. Because it seems that the Mavericks guys seem to be more confident.

Rudy Gobert practiced blocking with the trainer under the basket, while Yiyang made the net roll over again and again from outside the three-point line. Nowitzki seems to have a good touch in the mid-range today, and Iguodala can also catch and shoot from various positions and hit accurately.

During the warm-up period, the Mavericks looked energetic and seemed unaffected by losses and injuries.

"It looks like the Mavericks are sure of victory today." Even Kevin Harlan on the commentary desk didn't know where the Mavericks' confidence came from.

"Why are they not confident?" Next to Kevin Harlan, Mike Breen spread his hands. "After all, they have an epoch-making star!"

The warm-up ended quickly, and with the cheers of the fans, the game finally started. When the lanky Gobert started and stood in the center circle, DeAndre Jordan couldn't help but smile. It seems that today, the Mavericks' three-second zone is still an inexhaustible "cash machine."

"Boy, I might take off your whole thin arm!" Before the game started, Jordan did not forget to "intimidate" Gobert in a show of force.

"Do you know what I will do? I will stuff your big head into your big ass so that your mother won't recognize you!" Gobert angrily shouted in English with a French accent.

"How dare you!..." Little Jordan never expected that the French boy would be so bold. Has he forgotten how ugly his death was the day before yesterday?

"Gentlemen, are you ready? I don't have time to listen to your bickering all night." The referee stopped it in time, and the two big men finally stopped talking.

The basketball was thrown high into the air by him. Both Jordan and Gobert's take-off heights were amazing. But in the end, Gobert relied on his height and wingspan advantages to win the first offensive ball for the Mavericks.

Yiyang steadily unloaded the orange ball flying towards him, and suddenly accelerated before Paul could open his arms!

"Stop his attack!" Doc Rivers shouted at the beginning. Paul was ready to intercept Yiyang.

Yiyang rushed towards Paul quickly. He shook his upper body, making it difficult for Paul to judge the direction of Yiyang's breakthrough.

Just when Paul was in a dilemma, Yiyang suddenly stabbed to the left! Paul blocked it immediately, but came into close contact with a "high wall".

"Rudy Gobert's pick-and-roll was flawless! He completely contained Chris and successfully got rid of the defense!"

After Yiyang got rid of Paul, he took a big step to the mid-range position, stopped for a jump shot.

Yiyang's pull-up jump shot has almost become his trump card in the mid-range. As long as you let him take the shot calmly, just wait to pick up the ball under the basket.

"Brush!" The basketball hit the net so accurately that it didn't even touch the basket. At the beginning, the combination of Yiyang and Gobert allowed the Mavericks to score the first two points. It seems that the momentum of the Mavericks players is not bluffing.

"Today the Mavericks played very aggressively, and Rudy was also very active. But the real test for him has not yet begun." Mike Breen did not think that one offense could explain anything. Whether the Mavericks could do a good job Basket protection is the key to victory.

And Gobert is the key to protecting the basket!

The Clippers players didn't pay too much attention to this goal. Anyway, they could easily get back the lost points from the Mavericks' three-second zone in a short while.

Paul's thrust was unhurried, just like his mood, relaxed and unhurried.

Paul directed the offense and asked Redick and Barnes to open up space for him.

Subsequently, Jordan stepped forward to cover, and Paul used this to break through.

Although Yiyang tried his best to get rid of him, Little Jordan's huge size was not just for looking at. After Yiyang was delayed, leaving Paul alone would undoubtedly give up defense.

So Gobert had to step in front of Paul. Yiyang followed Xiao Qiaodan.

"Hmph, easy score." Paul hummed in his heart, and then used a hit pass without looking at anyone to send the basketball to Jordan.

When Jordan received the basketball, he didn't even have any luck. He took two big steps into the penalty area, jumped high, and hung his arms and hands on the frame!

Although Yiyang is a master of chasing and taking risks among defenders, even Yiyang is helpless when facing a "behemoth" like Jordan without any sprinting space.

Doc Rivers had already clenched his fists, preparing to celebrate Jordan's easy dunk.

Jordan's arms were about to exert force, but the tall Rudy Gobert arrived quickly, covered Jordan completely from behind, and then waved his arms and slapped away the basketball between Jordan's hands!

The ball flew out of the baseline, and everyone in the American Airlines Center was stunned for a second. Just now, that was such a terrifying height! And as a seven-foot-long man, Gobert is very mobile!

A second later, the stadium was shaken. Yiyang rushed up and yelled at Gobert. Of course, this time he was excited, not angry.

Jordan looked at Gobert in surprise, unable to believe what just happened. This "internal cash machine" actually completed the chase on his own head?

"Don't you understand what I'm saying, DeAndre? I'll beat you until you don't even recognize your mother! Get out, this is my territory!"

Gobert pointed to the blue area at his feet and stared into Jordan's eyes without showing any signs of weakness.
