Chapter 191: Defeated

The Warriors have many problems, including an imperfect defensive system, simplistic offense, and poor execution of player tactics. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

All in all, compared to last season's Heat, Yang Di felt a completely different level of the two teams, which can also be called two different cultural atmospheres.

Yang Di doesn't know how to make the team stronger, all he can do is to keep improving himself.

So the Warriors suffered a three-game losing streak, after losing to the Jazz, then to the Clippers at home, and then to the Mavericks on the road, and really ranked third from the bottom in the West with one win and three losses, only slightly better than the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies who have not yet won.

At first, the experts were taken aback by the Warriors' win over the Trail Blazers, and were frightened by Yang Di's 20+20, and they were speechless in the face of the media one by one.

Looking at it now, well, it turns out that it is still the paper tiger, no, the only pioneer who won is still the penultimate in the west.

So they jumped out one after another and said that the warriors were not good.

The first is defense.

"The defense is such a mess." One columnist wrote: "Although the Warriors' Yang Di is now averaging 3.7 blocks per game and ranking first in the league, the Warriors have conceded a whopping 105.5 points overall, ranking third from the bottom in the league." And anyone who has watched the game knows that the Warriors' defense has no system, no layers, and in this era of explosive wing players, they will be suddenly scum. ”

"Attack? Neither does the offense. "The 23-year-old Richardson is in his fourth season, but his offense is still a bit of a cliché, he hasn't even learned how to score with pick-and-rolls, and he's making some wrong choices on the court. ”

In such an atmosphere, the whole Warriors team was a little depressed.

Montgomery was also under a lot of pressure, and at the end of the day, he hadn't been able to put these talented young men together as a whole.

After three consecutive defeats, he came to San Antonio to challenge the Western giants Spurs!

......

The Spurs are a real powerhouse and have been in the league championship contenders since they picked Duncan.

The most powerful thing is 03, killing the OK combination at its peak, breaking the Lakers' dream of surpassing the Bulls for three consecutive championships, and defeating the Nets with Duncan's epic play in the finals and lifting the championship trophy. Having reached two Finals and won two championships, the Spurs' consistency during the tournament period was impressive.

And in the regular season, they are also synonymous with stability.

In the offseason, they acquired guard Brent Barry from Seattle, center Nazel Mohammed from New York, signed veteran Glenn Robinson, and strengthened bench depth and squad depth.

Against the Warriors, the Spurs fielded French point guard Tony Parker, Argentine quarterback Manu Ginobili, California small forward Bruce Bowen, Virgin Islands power forward Tim Duncan, and Slovenian center Rasu Nesterovic.

Good guys, three of the five starters are non-American international players, and the Warriors' starters, only Yang Di is an international player.

Away against the Spurs, no one is optimistic about the Warriors, and the bookmakers opened the handicap before the game, and the Spurs gave the Warriors 10.5 points.

This made Yang Di very angry, as if he didn't fight, and the whole world thought that the Warriors must have lost.

The key thing is that this game is still a game broadcast in China, and yes, there was no rocket game that day.

In the SBC Center, there was a lot of crowding, and in the stands, die-hard San Antonio fans waved the huge Spurs flag, looking up to represent the glory of the two-time championship.

Attendance is not low, and Spurs are already the city's calling card.

The pre-match ceremony for the Spurs players was simple, after the starters, they waved their hands and it was over, and the two sides were quickly ready, and then the lights lit up the entire stadium and the starters took to the court.

Yang Di and Duncan jump balls.

Duncan looked at him very seriously, his eyes were round and a little cute.

He is very tall, at least a forehead taller than Yang Di, his arms are also very thick, and his muscle lines are not exaggerated like Big Ben, but he can still feel superhuman strength.

The basketball was thrown into the air, and Duncan jumped before Yang Di.

"What!"

Yang Di was taken aback, the ball was still rising!

He quickly jumped up as well, and had just risen less than thirty centimeters into the air when a big hand secretly pressed down, and the weight like a mountain was on top.

The basketball was swept away by Duncan, and Yang Di glanced at him, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Duncan, one of the league's strongest interior players! This kind of confrontation makes him feel very excited.

"Ding, instant mission, Holy City Righteous Battle - defeat the league's mighty Spurs, mission reward, a Spurs A-level star card."

Yang Di's heart moved slightly, his face did not change, and he was more engrossed.

The Spurs' offense was very methodical, Parker first gave Ginobili on the wing, and the long-haired Argentine took the ball and dribbled back under his crotch.

Then beckoned Duncan to come out and block him high post.

On the other side, Nesterovic began to cover the running Parker without the ball, and Bruce Bowen took the opportunity to go down, and by the time Ginobili and Duncan played the pick-and-roll attack, Bowen had already fallen to the bottom left corner.

At this time, because of Duncan's high-quality cover, Ginobili turned around and killed inside, although he dribbled the ball wide, but still reached the point of integrating man and ball, Richardson, who defended him, was blocked and immediately out of position, Ginobili faced Murphy's up grab, changed direction and went to the middle.

Attracted Dunleavy to come over and wrap the clip, and handed it to Bowen with a blow.

Bowen made an open three-point shot and hit it.

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs hit a three-pointer, Montgomery was a little out of breath, stood up and walked to the sidelines, crossed his hands on his waist, and hid his inner anxiety.

Switching offense and defense, the Warriors pair pass the ball back to Fisher at the top of the arc.

In the entire Warriors team, only Fisher will be booed by the audience, when he just played, and when he got the ball at this time, the 0.4-second magic kill a few months ago is still in front of the fans, as if it was yesterday's pain.

Parker pressed hard and tried to steal the ball.

Fisher relied on his farts and thick stature to protect the ball, and then couldn't break through on his own, hitting the ground to Dunleavy in the bottom corner.

Dunleavy lifted it up again, and Richardson, who came from a crossover position, received the ball, and Bruce Bowen immediately clung to him.

One hand tugged at Richardson's clothes, reaching over from time to time to interfere with the dribble, and the other hand kept pinching, pinching, poking, and touching his body, with small movements.

Richardson tried to pull the ball and open up the space between Dot and Bowen, who followed.

It wasn't until Yang Di took the initiative to help him block and dismantle that Richardson got rid of Bowen's entanglement, but directly faced the tall Slovenian who was like a mountain.

Bowen caught up with Richardson, who stopped the ball and almost missed it.

In a panic, he handed over to Dunleavy who came up to answer, and Dunleavy passed to Yang Di, who was down in the air, and at this time the Spurs rotated to defend, and Yang Di faced Tim Duncan directly!
