Chapter 281: Fit, Victory over the Eagle
Byron Davis jumped up and bent his arm around his back, passing it to Yang Di, who followed behind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Di received the ball and stepped on the line of the three-second zone and took off, and Tyronn Lue, who was several sizes younger, looked at Yang Di in embarrassment and jumped, and there was no way to defend at all.
With a "clang", Josh-Smith turned his head and saw two feet that almost swung to his face.
Josh Smith dodged away in disgust, and Yang Di returned to square one after a swing and landed safely so as not to suffer a technical foul.
6-0, Byron Davis assisted Yang Di twice, and the two seem to have a certain fit at the beginning, and the cooperation is very orderly.
After another round, the Eagles still didn't score.
In the Warriors' offensive position, Byron Davis broke through to Dunleavy, Dunleavy transferred to the upper line to Richardson, and Richardson broke inside.
Youngdy played for Josh Smith behind Richardson, Richardson and Childeis duel in the air, and hit a layup with a small pull-up.
8-0, the Eagles asked for a timeout.
......
After the timeout, the Hawks forced the inside, and Yang Di jumped up to block Childis's throw, but failed to cover it, but Childis also raised the arc and shot iron.
Yang Di turned around to grab the rebound, and Josh Smith leaned over and reached out to steal the ball.
Yang Di held the basketball with one hand and dodged Josh Smith's big hand, and his posture of holding the ball was particularly chic.
The Warriors also missed.
The Hawks blocked the attack, and at this time, Antoine Walker, who had been in a significant decline in form, stood up, took Tyronn Lue's ball, and turned directly to wipe Dunleavy's defense.
A small step from the penalty area, Walker stepped back and made a jumper that acted like Paul Pearce.
"Huh!"
Hollow hit, such a half-volley ball, it is difficult for Yang Di to fill the position.
In this era, anyone who can shoot a half-volley can be an excellent scorer, just like Antoine Walker, even if his form declines like that, he can still average nearly 20 points per game, but only 40 percent shooting is a bit embarrassing.
Therefore, scorers who are good at mid-range, once the shooting rate exceeds 45 percent, it can basically be said to be very efficient, just like Kobe Bryant, with more and more skilled step-back jump shooting skills, is gradually becoming the new generation of mid-range shooting kings in the league, which is becoming more and more difficult to defend.
After the Hawks broke the scoring drought, the Bay Area fans paused for a moment and they sat down one after another, marking the start of the regular phase of the game.
The Warriors attacked, Yang Di blocked for Davis, Davis distributed to Richardson on the wing, and Richardson missed a three-point jumper.
The Hawks attacked, and Harrington forced Murphy, causing Murphy to foul and hit both free throws.
The Warriors attacked, Yang Di did the no-ball running cover in the elbow area for Richardson, Richardson received the ball on the line, Yang Di passed down, Yang Di resisted Josh Smith with his back, forced a half-throw after the crash, missed, and the rebound was protected by Antoine Walker.
Antoine Walker missed mid-range, and Yang Di grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.
Up front, Richardson crossed past Childres' defense and hit a mid-range half-volley to score his first point in the game.
......
The Warriors' offense is smooth, and when they don't have a tactic, they rely on Richardson's heads-up.
Now, in addition to Richardson, Byron Davis can also solve the game in a one-on-one bullfight, and the offensive ability has improved several notches, and the Hawks defense has taken care of one or the other, and it will be difficult to catch up after the score is pulled away.
Fortunately, Harrington then hit two key three-pointers, and the Hawks trailed by only nine points in the first quarter at 19-28, which was at least a double-digit point difference.
Such a game hurt the two rookies Josh Smith and Childis.
They were all people of the year in high school or college, and at that time, they were all blood abuse of others, and few of them could compete with them after a game, and they had already established strong self-confidence. But as soon as they arrived in the NBA, they encountered a group of older young people with the physical fitness of livestock, losing consecutive games, and bad offensive and defensive duels, which hit their self-confidence again and again.
The so-called NBA rookie wall, the most critical is the psychological factor, if you can't change the role well and re-examine yourself, you will eventually be eliminated by more intense competition, or only rely on talent, and stand out from everyone.
Yang Di went off the court and got 6 points and 4 rebounds on 3-of-4 shooting in the first quarter, and Byron Davis came over and had the least impact on him, but because of Davis's main control, he got a lot of better opportunities on the inside and played more easily.
Coupled with the lack of strength and confrontation of Josh Smith who defended him today, he didn't have much strength, and the frontcourt rebounding struggle was not particularly aggressive.
Adonal Faouyer came on as a substitute for Jandy, and Rodney White was replaced at the power forward position.
The Latvian media was disappointed, and the camera interestingly showed the face of 18-year-old Andres Biedrins, whose gaze was calm, calm and expressionless.
After the Warriors lost Petrus, the bench was actually a little weak, but fortunately, now the main position is filled, Montgomery began to let Richardson, Byron Davis and others take turns to control the ball, for example, Byron Davis went off the court in the second quarter, and Richardson continued to stay on the court to lead the second team game.
Richardson strengthened his offense with the ball, and together with John Salmons and Derrick Fisher, he became the Warriors' bench outside three, and the 1.98-meter Salmons returned to the shooting guard position, while Richardson played as a small forward, officially becoming a standard swingman at the front.
Salmons has a jack-of-all-trades scoring ability and is misplaced to face the Hawks' backup power forward, Buris Dio.
Dior is slender and moves quite fast, but after all, he is a 2.06 meter inside player, and in front of Salmons's small broken steps and constantly adjusting the change of direction, he messed up, and then Salmons shook off a mid-range pull-up jump shot and hit it easily.
Frenchman Christian Dior was the 21st player drafted by the Hawks in the first round last year, and this is his second season, playing only as a substitute, and his playing time was further compressed by Woodson because of his poor rebounding ability and rim protection, averaging only 18 minutes per game this season, with 4.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.3 blocks.
But Dio also has his strengths, after halftime, Dio hand-to-hand and Hawks backup point guard Tony Decker to block and dismantle, Dio catches the ball, after attracting the Warriors to shrink the defense, a one-handed straight second pass, divided into the hands of Royer Ivey in the bottom corner.
This is also a rookie this year, who was drafted by the Hawks with the eighth pick in the second round and missed the shot.
It can be seen that the Hawks roster is younger than the Warriors, and many of the players are new recruits who have only played for a year or two, or simply rookies this year.
In the process of competition between the two sides, the gap gradually emerged.
By the time Yang Di played, the Warriors had stretched the margin to 15 points.
At the end of the first half, the Warriors led the Hawks by 18 points, 61-43.
In the third quarter, Yang Di played seven minutes before going off the court, and Montgomery waved his hand to replace the Latvian teenager Beedrins.
"It's finally here!" The groggy Latvian media perked up their spirits, and this time period put Beedrins on the field, and Montgomery was clearly going to let him play the third quarter, which would be at least 5 minutes!
It seems that Montgomery really didn't talk nonsense, and in the second half of the season, he really had to give Biedrins more chances.
Beedrins has not played in many games, and this time he is particularly excited to re-play, when the Warriors lead by nearly 20 points, and the Hawks don't have a particularly good interior line, he is actually the tallest one on the court.
Biedrins can run and jump, except for the confrontation, the rest are excellent, and the worst thing is that the NBA has the most confrontation.
In the past few months, the trainer has focused on gaining weight for him, effectively building muscles, and increasing his fighting ability.
However, the Eagles substitute inside line is the 122-kilogram Rodbiak from Montenegro, who weighs much more than Biedrins, who suffered a lot and lost a lot of advantages in the penalty area after coming on the field.
"It's still a little bit off." Montgomery shook his head, he had made up his mind not to use Beedrins in the playoffs, such a body would be destroyed by those old bones in the playoffs.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Hawks 112-89, Yang Di only played 25 minutes, got 9 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, and the rare scoring rebounds did not go to a double-double, and Biedrins played 17 minutes, a career high, got 6 points and 4 rebounds and gave the Hawks' Dio a block, which was remarkable, which made the Latvian media excited.
