One Guard

Chapter 172 : Change my card

“I’ve eaten, Mom!” At 7:30 in the evening, Mudiay put down his knife and fork on time and ran to the TV.

Although the Mavericks vs. Trail Blazers game will be broadcast at eight o’clock in the evening prime time, T.NT TV will start live broadcast half an hour earlier. In addition to the stage of interviewing the players, it was also very interesting to listen to the commentators to talk about their views on the game.

“Is there a game today?” Mudiay’s mother collected the dishes and sat in front of the TV with interest.

When Little Moody’s switched the channel to T.NT TV, the game screen immediately appeared on the TV screen. Mudiay thought the game had already started, but if you look closely, isn’t this a video of the last time the two sides met a month ago?

At this time, what was being broadcast on TV was the last 30 seconds of Yiyang’s last time against the Trail Blazers.

Yiyang first made a steady hit with Aldridge’s defense, widening the point difference to four points.

After that, he completed an unexpected steal on the defensive end, leaving the Trail Blazers completely lost hope of winning.

This short 30 seconds can be said to be the essence of that game. And T.NT chose to play the last 30 seconds of the game now, obviously for a purpose.

“Have you seen Charles, the last game and the last moments performance is simply wonderful. Today, I am looking forward to his performance. Maybe, I can stop Aldridge twice in a row?” After the video was played, the TV set The faces of Barkley and Kenny Smith appeared on the screen. Sure enough, the video was an introduction to the conversation.

“The game you are talking about is a month ago. What I want to say is that Aldridge’s performance was not bad for the Trail Blazers against the Rockets the day before yesterday. The Mavericks’ position on the fourth position is empty today, I think Aldridge Qi may hit another super high score.” The fat-headed Barkley has a different view from Kenny Smith. Yiyang’s last 30 seconds performance was indeed very exciting, which can be said to be the best so far this season. One of the classic games. But those 30 seconds did not mean that Yiyang would definitely be able to reproduce the last success today.

Before the game started, Barkley and Kenny Smith had already whipped the fans’ appetites. This is where the value of these two guys lies. As long as they are there, T.NT TV does not have to worry that their live NBA games are not watched.

Now, what fans are very concerned about is what kind of starting lineup the Mavericks will produce to deal with Aldridge. Finally, one minute before the start of the game, each TV station played the starting list of both sides.

For the Trail Blazers, due to Roy’s indefinite injury, Frenchman Nicolas Batum was mentioned by McMillan as the starting lineup. Batum’s starting results in the past two games are very good, and the Blazers’ starting roster does not seem to be picky.

However, in the next second, when the Mavericks’ starting roster was announced, many people’s eyes widened.

Carlisle made Kidd and Terry the first starting partner for the guard line, and Deshaun Stevenson, a defensive champion, was pushed to the third position. In the power forward position, Carlisle actually sent Marion who was just over 2 meters tall!

“You’re dead!” McMillan watched the Mavericks’ five starters step onto the court with great joy. Marion defends Aldridge, who is ten centimeters higher than himself? What a joke!

“A big and four small lineups, it seems that Coach Carlisle is planning to rely on offense and the Trail Blazers to die. But it is worth mentioning that Coach Carlisle is still placed on the bench. We all know that Coach Carlisle is A coach who pays great attention to the role of the sixth man. I think the real key to the Mavericks’ tactics today may be the sixth man!”

Under the analysis of the commentators, the referee threw the ball high into the air, and this game that made all Mavericks fans fearful finally began.

Today, “Boxing King” Tyson was a bit distracted during the jump ball stage and failed to react in the first time, so the basketball was shot away by Marcus Canrate first.

As soon as the game opened, the Trail Blazers got an offensive opportunity. McMillan stood on the sidelines with excitement, he couldn’t wait to see the Mavericks defense being crushed by himself.

Old Miller dribbled the ball quickly after half-court, and the basketball passed through a few people and finally hit Aldridge’s hands.

Marion looked so short in front of the lanky guy Aldridge, the Trail Blazers did not dribble the ball on the 12th, but turned over to shoot!

A major dislocation, Aldridge was almost undisturbed. The basketball was hollow into the net, Aldridge took the lead and let the Trail Blazers take the lead!

“Fragile defense, LaMarcus can score 40 points tonight!” Barkley yelled, Marion is not Aldridge’s opponent at all.

Although he lost the ball, Carlisle looked very calm. He didn’t yell in the court, just flew around the sidelines with his hands in his arms, as if everything was under control.

Subsequently, the Mavericks offense returned to Kidd after a series of cooperation. Kidd made a mid-range jumper, but the ball knocked out. It seems that the old Kidd feels not very good today.

McMillan waved his arms excitedly like a circus clown, motioning for the team to fight back. Looking at Carlisle again, this guy was still calm.

The offense passed, and the Frenchman Batum made a solid shot from the corner. It’s a pity that the Frenchman guessed the three-point line on the tip of his toes, so the referee only gave the Blazers two points in the end. But in just two rounds, the situation is already quite dangerous for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks have been suppressed by the Trail Blazers in this way, until the first quarter of the game for 5 minutes, the Trail Blazers have widened the point difference to 5 points. At this time, Carlisle finally stopped the game.

McMillan, who took the lead, was sweating profusely. He didn’t know what the guy Carlisle wanted to do. He didn’t seem to be anxious when the team was crushed. Unconsciously, the pressure that belonged to Carlisle fell on McMillan’s shoulders.

“Okay, everyone did a good job. Jason, you have worked hard. Next, let’s rest for a few minutes. Also, you know what to do. We have practiced many times the other day. The only thing to remember is that you must Self-conflict!” Carlisle finished speaking and looked at Yiyang, this kid must stand up.

“Go!” Carlisle patted Yiyang on the shoulder, and at the same time the pause time just ended.

On the Trail Blazers side, McMillan replaced the panting veteran Miller and topped it with Australian defender Patrick Mills. In the next second, the U.S. Route Center Arena suddenly became restless.

McMillan took a closer look and saw that the Chinese was on the court!

“This reminds me of the time I was in Phoenix.” Marion looked at Yiyang, and after saying this, he sent a baseline ball.

Yiyang ran after catching the ball, not trotting, but speeding through the half-court! The Blazers’ defense is not ready yet, Yiyang has already reached beyond the three-point line.

I saw this Tanhuaxiu suddenly throw the ball and pass it to the left horn. A second ago, there was no one in that position, but when the ball arrived, Stevens, who played in the third position today, also rushed to his horse and received the basketball.

Batum just adjusted his center of gravity in front of Stevens with a small step, and Stevens took the ball less than a second, but passed it again.

This time, Stevens made a light pass to the right, and Marion, who ran up from behind, received the basketball after sending the baseline ball. He couldn’t help but jump straight!

“What is it!?” McMillan’s eyes widened. This is Carlisle’s tactics? It’s just a fight!

Aldridge, who defended Marion, also jumped up. However, the basketball did not fly in a parabolic trajectory, but saw through with Aldridge’s raised hands!

“It’s not a shot, it’s a pass!” Kenny Smith yelled, pointing to the basketball.

The basketball passed Aldridge and went straight to the right corner. Australian defender Mills misread the Mavericks offense. He thought Marion was going to shoot, so he slowed down the pace of defending Yiyang.

Yiyang quickly came out and received the basketball. At this time, Mills is two or three steps away from Yiyang. The Australians are naturally striding forward, hoping to catch up in time!

After receiving the ball, Yiyang looked down at his toes to make sure he did not step on the three-point line. Then hold the ball in both hands, stand on tiptoe, and take a jump shot.

Although Yiyang’s three-pointer is not a deadly weapon, it is still very dangerous to put him so big.

When Mills leaped high and blocked, the corner of Yiyang’s mouth was slightly tilted. The soles of his feet suddenly pressed against the ground and gave a sudden kick. It was just a fake action! When defensive players are far away from their target, most of the time they will try their best to block instead of thinking about other things. Mills, too!

Yiyang took advantage of this to successfully fly the Australians, and then follow the bottom line to kill the restricted area!

“LaMarcus was pulled out by Marion, and now only Camby guards the basket!” Kenny Smith spoke very fast, because the Mavericks played the ball at a very fast pace. Almost everyone passes the ball as soon as they touch the ball, which stretches the Blazers’ defense very open.

Camby finally got rid of the entanglement with Chandler, but the lightning-fast Yiyang had already hit his eyes.

Seeing that the yellow-skinned and black-haired defender took off directly, Camby, unwilling to show weakness, straightened his arms and jumped high.

Just as Camby was about to complete the block, Yiyang pulled the ball down, escaped the block, and flew under the basket.

When gliding to the other side of the basket, Yiyang, who was facing the basket in the air, gently sent the ball up. The basketball “obediently” fell into the net, and this pull rod movement was completed smoothly.

“Elegant layup!” Seeing Yiyang easily use a drawbar to get the ball up, the first word Kenny Smith thought of was elegance. Yiyang’s movements are very gentle and easy to complete, as if playing under a basketball hoop in his backyard.

“Marcus Camby can’t touch basketball at all, and he has already made plans. Did you see it? The Mavericks are about to start working hard!” Barkley smirked. The sixth man is Carlisle today. The real trump card!

After the goal, Carlisle clapped gently. Although the ball made the fans in the stands almost boiled, the academy coach knew that the true role of Yiyang had not yet been manifested.

Four perimeters plus a Chandler who can run and jump. Today, Carlisle wants to turn the U.S. Route Center Arena into a veritable “highway”!
