I Don’t Want to Be the Boss

Seven Hundred and Ninety-Two. Tonight, Emperor Yi Is Mighty

It is mainly the improvement in consciousness. If Yi Jianlian wants to play as well as he did today, he probably needs Conley and Paul George to shoot so accurately every night, Randolph to be the offensive point, and Sun Ce or Conley to pass the ball to him...

Yao Ming judged that Yi Jianlian needed many conditions to play so well, and the improvement was only relative to the previous low efficiency.

However, Yi Jianlian now can take advantage of these favorable conditions when they appear, and he uses them well, unlike before when he did not even have the consciousness and ability to take advantage of these occasional favorable conditions.

Being able to seize the opportunity to explode occasionally is a huge improvement!

Yao Ming felt so painful. He finally got two points, but Yi Jianlian came back again!

The score difference was still 12 points.

After Yi Jianlian's close-range jump shot, Jason Terry from the Mavericks came over and missed another three-pointer. He wanted to avoid Paul George's defense and shoot, but he shot too hastily!

However, when the Grizzlies attacked, Randolph received the ball and layup was interfered by Marion, and Yao Ming protected the rebound.

After Kidd advanced to the frontcourt this time, he did not pass the ball to Jason Terry, but signaled Jason Terry to move away and signaled DeShawn Stevenson to run and cut in. Yao Ming went to the mid-range, and he and Marion started pick-and-roll. After a few rounds, Kidd also thought of some ways.

Relying on the two-wing cutting style of Kidd in the Nets period, Marion cut in after the pick-and-roll, and DeShawn Stevenson cut in, he successfully attracted Yi Jianlian and Sun Ce to the basket. Marion received the ball and passed it to Yao Ming. In front of Yao Ming, there was only Randolph who came to help defend!

Facing Randolph's help defense, Yao Ming made a mid-range jump shot... and hit it again!

Basically, it was Yao Ming alone!

In the next few minutes, Yao Ming played very well, and his shooting accuracy remained the same as in the first half. At 7 minutes and 22 seconds in the fourth quarter, Yao Ming received the ball on the right side of the three-second zone, turned around and shook off the substitute Jordan for a layup. At this time, Yao Ming had already made his fifth shot in the fourth quarter. With 2 free throws, Yao Ming scored 12 points in less than 7 and a half minutes.

However, during this period, except for Marion who cut in and caught the ball and shot again to score two points, no one else scored for the entire Mavericks team!

Yao Ming made 5 of 8 shots, and the others made 1 of 7 shots in total!

On the other hand, Yi Jianlian continued to perform well. After Jordan replaced Randolph,

Yi Jianlian didn't have to defend Yao Ming so miserably on the defensive end. He focused all his attention on the offensive end and played even better! He competed with Yao Ming and also scored 12 points in half a quarter, making 6 of 9 shots!

With Sun Ce's 4 points and Paul George's three-pointer against Jason Terry, the Grizzlies scored 19 to 14. Yao Ming played so well on the Mavericks side, but the difference was not narrowed, but widened to 15 points!

The Mavericks defended very well, and the Grizzlies scored 19 points in less than 7 and a half minutes. This is very unlike the Grizzlies. The key figure is Yi Jianlian who exploded today!

In the fourth quarter, Sun Ce was the main point guard, and Yi Jianlian got 4 assists! In addition to Randolph's offensive rebound to Yi Jianlian's mid-range shot, Yi Jianlian's second attack after an offensive rebound when Sun Ce missed a long two-pointer, Yi Jianlian has scored 28 points so far, and Yao Ming, who scored 35 points in a single game, exploded!

The Mavericks didn't think of a good way to solve the problem on the offensive end. On the defensive end, they actually did a good job. They tried very hard to prevent Sun Ce from shooting 1 of 4 shots, and limited Randolph to only 40% of the shooting rate throughout the game. In the fourth quarter, they also limited Paul George, who had scored 5 three-pointers in the first three quarters, very well. But Yi Jianlian broke out!

If Yi Jianlian had performed at the usual level of a few points per game, the Grizzlies might not have been able to lead by so much today. Even if his shooting rights were given to others, it would be unlikely for him to perform like him.

Yi Jianlian became the key to the Grizzlies' 15-point lead after the official timeout in the fourth quarter!

The Mavericks, Yao Ming, and the Grizzlies themselves could not have thought that it was Yi Jianlian's outbreak that broke the Mavericks!

With 4 minutes and 38 seconds left and 15 points behind, the Mavericks did not give up and replaced Marion and DeShawn Stevenson with Kidd, Jason Terry, Peja, Chandler and Yao Ming, trying to make a final charge with three outside shooters and the twin towers.

On the Grizzlies side, Randolph played again, Yi Jianlian continued to stay on the court, and Battier, Paul George and Sun Ce played.

The opponent sent Yao Ming and Chandler together. Their height is really scary. Although Chandler is a 216 cm tall center, he is an athletic inside player who weighs two kilograms less than Nowitzki. When he and Nowitzki are partners, Chandler usually expands to defend on the defensive end, and Nowitzki defends the basket and carries the opposing center.

Yao Ming rarely plays with Chandler. It's not that they are not good at defense. This lineup is almost the best in the league in interior defense. It's just that the interior is too crowded. Yao Ming has the ability to shoot from the outside, but he certainly can't compare with Nowitzki. This will greatly reduce the Mavericks' interior offensive power.

But at this time, Mavericks coach Carlisle can no longer care about so much. They only want three-pointers and outside shots.

In the last period of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks made a desperate effort to let Kidd, Jason Terry, and Peja shoot a lot of shots, and they really made two three-pointers in less than 5 minutes. With Yao Ming's 6 points in a row and Chandler's tip-in, the Mavericks scored 14 points in the last moment.

But... when the official timeout in the fourth quarter came, the Mavericks were already 15 points behind!

On the Grizzlies side, in the last moment, whether it was Sun Ce, Battier, Paul George, or Randolph, they all consciously fed the ball to Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian had some problems with his physical strength at the end, and his shots were not good. He made 1 of 4 shots. The Grizzlies only scored 8 points in the last few minutes and were chased by 6 points by the Mavericks.

But the 15-point lead was enough for them to squander!

In the end, the score difference was fixed at 9 points. The Grizzlies defeated the Mavericks 106 to 97 and won the 60th win of the season!

Sun Ce got 5 assists from Yi Jianlian, and scored 18 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. Conley also got 4 assists from Yi Jianlian. In addition, Randolph passed to Yi Jianlian twice, and Yi Jianlian contributed 11 assists to his teammates!

Yi Jianlian played 35 minutes in the game, 14 of 24 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 30 points and 8 rebounds.

Yi Jianlian set a new career high for the Grizzlies in terms of playing time, shooting attempts and points.

Although Yao Ming scored 41 points on 16 of 23 shots and 9 of 11 free throws on the Mavericks side, the team lost to Yi Jianlian's Grizzlies tonight!
