One Guard

Chapter 735 : Life without rest

Thomas Jr. allowed the Celtics to succeed for the second time in a row. Many fans in front of the TV were stunned. This guy who is only 1.75 meters tall, how can He De be so powerful?

In fact, it’s not Thomas Jr. alone, but the entire Celtics system.

Yiyang put away a bit of excitement and became calm. The two defenses just now were actually deceived by Thomas Jr.’s fake moves. In the next game, you must be more focused!

Defense, this is undoubtedly the biggest loophole of Thomas. Although Stevens is equipped with Bradley and Evan Turner to “wipe his butt”, but for a scorer of Yiyang’s level, this **** is not so easy to wipe clean.

Yiyang didn’t want to cover, but raised his hand to direct his teammates to move. In fact, the physical fitness of the young Thomas is quite excellent, but he is 1.75 meters tall and weighs 83 kilograms. You know, Lowry and Paul are only 80 kilograms.

Take a look at Thomas’s thick arms and you will know how wonderful this guy’s body is. In terms of strength, Thomas Jr. has an absolute advantage. But height is something you can’t get through no matter how hard you work.

Yiyang took a step back to make room for himself, and then accelerated to the right to break through.

Just when the two bodies were about to collide with each other, Yiyang quickly changed direction. With a large arc of crossover, Yiyang cleaned up little Thomas!

“The speed is extremely fast. I rarely see anyone who can break through Thomas by speed, not physically!”

At the same time, Bradley made up his defense, and Thomas also chased Yiyang. Yiyang seems to be very determined to take off and shoot, but in fact, Yiyang just jumped up and passed the ball.

The basketball passed over Bradley’s head and flew into Wade’s hands. Letting go of Wade is no different from giving up life.

In a short and mid-range jumper, Wade didn’t waste Yiyang’s wonderful pass. The Celtics’ defense is indeed in place, but when it is in place, Yiyang can also find a gap in it.

Thomas is really good, but don’t forget, his opponent, but Yiyang, who is expected to win the regular season MVP trophy for three consecutive years!

The next time the Celtics attacked, Yiyang did not give Thomas the little space. As soon as the opponent approached the three-point line, Yiyang used his body to put pressure on him, actively looking for confrontation.

In the past, no guard dared to defend Thomas like this, stick so tightly, only to be missed by Thomas.

Little Thomas has a very strong sense of rhythm, and the two hips changed hands to speed up, but Yiyang immediately moved laterally, blocking the path of Little Thomas!

Thomas gritted his teeth. He knew how strict Stevens was on defense. It seems that this guy Yiyang has developed good defensive habits during his college years.

Seeing this, Zeller stepped forward to cover. Little Thomas broke through the cover for the third time, but Yiyang turned around flexibly using Zeller as the axis, and instantly returned to Thomas.

“Nice defense!” Mike Brin couldn’t help yelling, Yiyang’s defense against Thomas Jr. in this round was simply perfect! Every block, every move, is just right.

In fact, Yiyang’s defense is excellent, but not just because of his fast speed. Irving is also fast, so why is he always criticized for not being good defensively?

The reason is simple. Yiyang’s defensive awareness and ability to read the opponent’s attack to predict the next move has reached Kidd’s level back then. Relying on the mind to defend, this is the real advantage of Yiyang on the defensive end. In just two rounds with little Thomas, Yiyang has already touched some of Thomas’ offensive doorways.

Helpless, Thomas had to pass the ball to Evan Turner who was out of the gap. But how can Iguodala’s defense be so easy to get rid of, he jumped high in two strides, which seriously interfered with Turner’s shooting.

“Missed, the Boston Celtics missed first!”

What happened after that was very simple. Gobert made a long pass from the backcourt, and Yiyang used his height advantage to easily receive the basketball, and then directly dunked with both hands to score!

In less than five seconds, the Mavericks had a counterattack. This is their most deadly place! Stevens shook his head. This time it failed because Thomas was not good enough. Because any guard in this league, encountering the kind of defense just now, would never want to succeed!

Look at how bad Curry is in front of others this season, but in front of Yiyang, he has twice been prevented from shooting less than 30% of the three-pointers.

This failure became a turning point for the Celtics. After another attack, Thomas still used the pick-and-roll and speed to break through. Most of his speed can’t keep up, but Yiyang is obviously not in this list.

It was another spoon layup, and Gobert was very helpless with this kind of chicken thief’s layup. Don’t jump on it, you can’t cover the ball. Pounce on it, it’s easy to foul again.

Just when Thomas thought this offense was inevitable, Yiyang flew from behind and relentlessly fanned the layup to the stand after the rebound.

After landing, Yiyang didn’t even celebrate, but coldly directed Gobert to block the opponent’s serve. This kind of coldness, on the contrary, can give people a sense of oppression!

“The Celtics’ offense started to be a bit messy. Coach Stevens’s tactics are okay, and Thomas Jr.’s execution ability is okay. The problem lies in the fact that the opponent has a super defensive expert.”

Fortunately, Bradley’s mid-range shot made the Celtics temporarily stop the blood. But this kind of goal is not a goal in Stevens’s tactic. It is impossible for the Celtics to sustain a whole game with such a goal.

So after an amazing start, the Celtics began to become mediocre. Little Thomas scored only two points in the game after the first quarter. This guy has never seen a defender like You Yiyang who can lock people up.

At the end of the first game, 26 to 21, the Mavericks took the lead by 5 points.

Stevens looked up at the big screen, 5 points difference, which is still acceptable. At least this proves that the Celtics’ defense and offense are not far behind.

Taking a glance at the entire bench, the Celtics now only have a reliable scoring point like Thomas Jr.

If you want to make a difference on the offensive end, you must let the whole team serve Thomas. Since Yiyang only allowed Thomas to score two points in the second half of the first quarter, he tried to create a scoring opportunity for Thomas.

“Olynyk, Jerebko, you two, starting in the second quarter!” Stevens waved his hand. It’s not over yet!

Olynik and Jerebko, these two guys are not superstars. Compared to Carter and others on the Mavericks bench, they are not so famous.

Before participating in the draft, Olynik was unsurprisingly once again hailed as the hope of a white center. Of course, this hope was not fulfilled. Jerebko has been famous in the European League for a long time, but in the NBA, he is too slow to play the third position and the embarrassment of playing the fourth position is too soft, but he has never had anything to do with the word “star”.

These two big men with mediocre abilities do not seem to be very helpful in chasing points. But these two guys have one thing in common, which is why Stevens decided to replace them, the three-point ability!

Whether it’s Olynyk or Jerebko, they are the kind of big pitchers who can open up space and guarantee three-pointers. Counting Bradley, Thomas Jr., and Evan Turner, who had originally started, the Celtics can now shoot three-pointers with all five people on the field!

This is Stevens’s method of tracking points!

After the start of the second quarter, perhaps to allow Yiyang to rest for a while, Carlisle did not send Yiyang, but to let Shelvin Mark, who performed well in the first quarter, continue to play.

Shelvin Mark, Stevens also knows him well. He is the player who has followed Stevens the longest in the Bulldogs. After Yiyang and Hayward left the NBA, Mark and Stevens led the Bulldogs to the final for the second year in a row, but unfortunately they did not win the championship.

Mark is also Stevens’s lover. That guy is now able to gain a foothold in the NBA. Stevens is also very pleased. However, it must be admitted that Mark’s talent and effort are far less than Yiyang. On the defensive end, the same is true. Mark’s defense is very good, but not as perverted as Yiyang.

Shelvin Mark was the defensive thing that Carlisle liked. His strong body can restrain most of the point guards. But by the way, what Thomas is most afraid of is the power point guard!

Little Thomas took possession of the ball and ran over. The Celtics’ four shooters each went to the four corners, which gave Thomas an exceptionally wide space!

After Thomas ran beyond the three-point line, he switched the ball to his left hand, turned his side to the left, slowed down, and seemed to intend to pass the ball.

Mark also slowed his pace and lowered his center of gravity. But in the next second, little Thomas switched the ball to the right hand again, speeding up the breakthrough!

Stop and get up quickly, this is the extraordinary way that Yiyang is also used to. I have to admit that Thomas is really similar to Yiyang in many places.

The great thing about this tactic is that if Thomas can pass the defender, the defending player will either give up the penalty area or give up outside the three-point line.

Gobert chose to give up outside the three-point line, his choice is extremely correct. Because the basket is empty, Thomas Jr. will score 100%. But outside of the short three-point line, Olynik also has the possibility of failing to make a shot.

Seeing this, Thomas Jr. scored the ball calmly. But today Olynik was very upbeat, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com made a hollow three-pointer into the net. As soon as the game opened, Stevens’s changes took effect.

In the second attack, Thomas continued to repeat the old tricks. With his speed and realistic fake moves, he wants to get past Shervin Mark, a tank-type point guard, and he can get there in 100 different ways.

This time, Gobert still chose to cover the basket, and Mark also wisely rushed towards Olynyk. But Thomas did not slow down after rushing to the speed, he was full of confidence in his ability to make fouls!

Little Thomas used his inertia to jump to the defender’s chest, maintained his balance in a strong confrontation, and kept the basketball steady.

It seems to be very simple, but you have to know that the 1.75 meter little Thomas and the strong man like Gobert can stabilize the balance, knowing how terrifying his core strength is.

The ball is scored, the whistle blows, and the three-pointer is successful! That unyielding little fighter is not at all afraid of the Mavericks, a historic team. As long as Stevens gives an order, he will go through the fire!

“A chance to hit a three-pointer! If an additional penalty hits, the Celtics will complete a go-ahead! The incredible little Thomas, he is like a revolutionary, challenging the authority of the ruler!” Mike Brin couldn’t help but stand and applaud. He has never seen such a magical little player.

Although the Celtics have begun to gain momentum on the field, Carlisle looked relaxed.

He originally wanted Yiyang to rest more, but now it seems that Yiyang has no life to rest.

As long as Yiyang is on the court, it’s impossible for Thomas to make such a performance.

“Also!” Carlisle yelled as he said. “Go to the technical station to prepare, listen, I don’t want to see him score easily anymore.”

Yiyang nodded, got up and took off the training clothes. ()
