One Guard

Chapter 840 : 1 shot in cold blood

Embiid looked at Yiyang angrily, just a few centimeters away from the guy who blocked him. Therefore Embiid firmly believes that the yellow-skinned and black-haired number one is just luck. The next attack, he is bound to make Yiyang pay the price.

But the top priority now is to help the 76ers tie the score. Just now Ben Simmons’ layup was cut by Yiyang, and this time, Embiid decided to play inside alone!

It’s impossible for Yiyang to run inside to double-team himself, right? If that happens, Covington will make Yiyang regret it.

Simmons held the ball steadily for halftime, this time he was more cautious than before. Yiyang’s steal was indeed very unexpected. If he is not careful, the ball will disappear “inexplicably”.

Stepping on the three-point line, Simmons intended to call a screen, but found that Embiid opened his hand and asked for the ball. Can’t you wait for this guy?

Tall passers are very suitable for feeding inside players, just like Turkoglu of the Magic team, Howard can basically deliver the ball with just one hand.

Simmons’s lob pass curve is also very high and it is not easy to break. Don’t have to wait for the basketball to fall too low, Embiid can catch the ball steadily with a straight arm.

In the last game, he scored 30 points on a defensive champion like Drummond, which boosted Embiid’s confidence. Today facing Gobert, who is also known for his defense, Embiid believes he still can’t be stopped.

He pushed back hard, but found that Gobert was not moved at all! The Frenchman’s toughness greatly exceeded Embiid’s expectations. Last year’s best defensive player voted second place in the “suffocation tower”, not a paper tiger.

Gobert has watched Embiid’s game video and he knows very well that if Embiid can’t advance, he has a high chance of choosing to take a step back shot or hook. Therefore, Gobert was ready to block this talented shot.

Sure enough, Gobert didn’t move at the top, Embiid turned around and shot a jumper! With tall and long arms, he has a high shot point and a very soft touch. Most of the insiders in this league have no way to take this shot, but Gobert, who has the same physical condition, is an exception.

His aggressive and timely forward pounce coupled with his wingspan advantage caused Embiid’s shooting to be seriously disrupted! Drummond was beaten like that by Embiid in the last game, more because he was unfamiliar with Embiid. After all, this genius only played 30 games last season. The sample is too small and people have not studied him thoroughly enough.

After getting familiar with Embiid in the second half of the game, Drummond’s defense has improved. Today, Gobert is already prepared, so Embiid’s scoring cannot be as easy as the previous game.

“Boom!” With a crisp sound, Embiid’s shot slammed out of the frame! Rudy Gay actively protected the defensive rebounds, Simmons and Embiid both missed the offense!

“Damn it, how come…” Before Embiid could react, Guy threw the ball to Yiyang, and Yiyang ran with the ball.

This is the offensive and defensive transition of the Dallas Mavericks, they will not leave any chance for the opponent to breathe.

Simmons quickly attached to Yiyang, and with his height and body, he was fully capable of stopping Yiyang. However, Yiyang was not the kind of fool who would wait to die. He accurately passed the ball back into Hayward’s hands during the fast marching process. No one knows how Yiyang can pass back accurately at high speed. Anyway, now that he passes the ball that is unbelievable, people will not be surprised.

Hayward received the basketball and quickly broke through from the center. Facing Covington’s defense, Hayward used the drawbar to make a layup, and the Mavericks scored consecutively! 4-0, Embiid could only pick up the ball from the floor stubbornly again.

In both offenses, the Mavericks scored before the 76ers’ defense was released. This team may be talented, but it is indeed too immature.

“It seems that what Joel said yesterday is almost impossible to fulfill, the Mavericks offense is easy and pleasant. Win? What did he use to win the Dallas Mavericks!” Jaylen Rose, not to mention how happy he was, seeing the arrogant Embiid being cleaned up. , He was extremely refreshed in his heart.

“Transmit the ball more, transmit the ball more!” 76ers coach Brett Brown shouted from the field. He could see that the Mavericks had done a lot of homework for Simmons and Embiid. If you just let these two guys attack, the efficiency will definitely not be high.

Now the 76ers must add other threat points, and only if others can also score, Simmons and Embiid’s burden will be lightened.

This time, the 76ers’ offense really got a lot more complicated. Embiid and Simmons passed the ball and complied, and the offense seemed to have become smoother.

However, the increase in the number of transmissions did not increase the 76ers’ chances. No matter how the 76ers pass, they just can’t get a gap.

In the end, the basketball was passed by Simmons to Covington on the left corner.

Robert Covington is 2.06 meters tall. His height is considered excellent at the small forward position. Being placed in the second position, it is even more misplaced every time the offense is played.

It stands to reason that in the face of Yiyang, who is less than two meters tall, Covington will have no problem at all. But Yiyang’s sticking defense made his shooting rhythm a bit chaotic, and the height of Yiyang’s vertical bounce also made up for his height disadvantage.

Covington’s fire from outside the three-point line hit the iron again, and the 76ers missed the third consecutive offense. It was a long rebound, and neither Embiid nor Gobert could get the ball. Simmons and Guy both had a chance, and the two were incompatible with each other. But in the end, Yiyang took the lead in the rebound.

Yiyang looked right in front of him, holding the ball in both hands as if he was about to pass. At this time, Mitchell has rushed to the forefront!

The 76ers’ defense quickly retreated, and they all ran very aggressively. After everyone ran through the half-court nervously, Yiyang slowly controlled the ball to advance. At this time, the players of the 76ers realized that they had been fooled!

Battle of positions, this is the Mavericks’ first time in this game. Simmons personally defended Yiyang, and Covington did not suffer at all when he defended Gay.

Facing a defender who is taller and stronger than himself and not slower, Yiyang is not panicked. He has experienced the tightest and most brutal defense in the league. A rookie is not to be afraid of.

Yiyang began to dribble the ball quickly and continuously from beyond the three-point line. Simmons’s center of gravity was a bit chaotic. He didn’t know in which direction Yiyang would break through in the next second.

“Papa!” After two very rhythmic dribbles, Yiyang suddenly accelerated to Simmons’ left hand!

Simmons just turned over to chase, but Yiyang retreated beyond the three-point line, ready to shoot!

Simmons immediately took a step forward and raised his hands. However, this was just a fake act of worshiping Buddha, Yiyang flew to Simmons’s center of gravity and then kicked the ground and quickly broke through.

“Wow!”

Simmons only felt a dark shadow flashing past his eyes, and he had no time to turn around and chase after him.

Covington and Bayless both made up for Yiyang, but before their defense was in place, Yiyang stopped a jumper and made a hit.

6-0, the 76ers were completely suppressed. In the face of absolute power, the role of talent is extremely limited! What’s more, the Mavericks are not completely without talent.

Potential rookies, Dallas also has!

After a defense, Simmons’s mid-range shot was hit again under the interference of Hayward. The 76ers missed four consecutive offenses and fell into a scoring shortage.

This time, Yiyang made a breakthrough to Mitchell. Mitchell plunged into the penalty area like holding a dynamite bag. Bayless couldn’t prevent Mitchell’s impact. Mitchell easily broke through. , In Embiid’s blocking pull-up layup, 8 to 0!

“Donovan Mitchell, this is the first time he has made a starter in his career, but for the time being, he has performed very well! The No. 45 guard who was selected with the 13th overall pick is definitely the current season. The biggest missed fish in the draft!”

Embiid and Simmons are out of breath, but the 76ers have been unable to score. They did win the Pistons beautifully in the last game, but the Pistons and Mavericks are not the same level of opponents.

It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but today Embiid and Simmons met not paper tigers, but real beasts!

A few minutes later, the 76ers’ score was still zero. The Mavericks’ offense has never missed. This time, Embiid wanted to use a dunk to boost the morale of his teammates after the pick and roll, but it was a pity that Gobert’s tough defense made Embiid shame again.

It’s not that Gobert directly blocked Embiid’s dunk, after all, Embiid’s physical condition is also very terrifying, it is not realistic to want to block his dunk. But under Gobert’s hard-line obstruction, Embiid’s free deduction was deducted!

The basket trembles uncontrollably, but the basketball is also playing high. When the basketball fell for the second time, Gobert and Embiid rushed together again. This time, neither of the two big guys received the basketball, and the basketball was ordered outside.

Yiyang, with quick eyesight and quick hands, finally helped the team take control of the ball. Brett Brown is ready. If the Mavericks score again and increase the point difference to double digits, he will have to stop the game.

This time, the 76ers’ withdrawal was very timely. The opponent is not stupid, and will not let the Mavericks easily play fast break again and again. Yiyang stopped two steps away from the three-point line, and the 76ers’ defense improved somewhat. They also know that if the Mavericks score another goal, the point difference will go to double digits!

“Unexpectedly, these little guys still have two brushes.” Yiyang muttered to himself silently in his heart. He observed the situation and his teammates had a bad chance.

Finally when the offensive time was about to end with only 12 seconds left, Yiyang passed the ball to Gay. But Guy’s three-pointer was seriously disrupted by Saric, and the Mavericks missed an offense!

However, Gobert magically shot the ball out again. The basketball fell into Yiyang’s hands, and there were only 10 seconds left before the 24 second offensive time was over.

Yiyang dribbled the ball back, originally intending to open up some space for himself to break through. But Simmons pressed on every step of the way, and rushed out in a daze.

Yiyang dribbled the ball to the middle of the midfield line and the three-point line. He was about to pass the ball to Hayward who cut in, but Covington suddenly stretched out his long arm and cut off the pass!

“It’s guarded!” Brett Brown waved his arm excitedly, and the Mavericks were not invincible.

At this time, the Mavericks’ tactics were not played out, and there was not much remaining 24 seconds of offensive time. While Simmons was still guessing where Yiyang would break through, the Dallas No. 1 wearing a white home jersey, but at the position between the midfield line and the three-point line, calmly shot!

This kind of distance, this kind of moment, Yiyang didn’t even frown at the moment of shooting! This guy is as calm as water under any circumstances!

After Simmons reacted, he rushed forward, and Yiyang had already thrown the ball. Under the horrified eyes of everyone, this ultra-long-distance three-pointer crossed a beautiful arc, and while the red light on the backboard was lit, it fell straight into the net nest!

“What an incredible shot! A super long-range three-pointer and a cold-blooded blow that turned the point difference into 11 points! 11 to 0, the Celestial 76ers, also let them see the power of the league hegemon!”

After the goal, Yiyang stood in place with his right hand still maintaining the shooting posture.

Brown called a timeout, and Simmons felt a chill in his back. This guy Yiyang is really a cruel killer!
