After two days of rest, the Warriors' entire team was in much better spirits. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The final game of March was against the Hornets, who traveled to New Orleans to take on a very young team.

On the plane, Yang Di received a new task.

"S-level traditional point guard task number two - Chris Paul."

"Chris Paul is a rookie in 05, 1.83 meters tall, good at blocking and dismantling passes, taking passing as the first purpose, and showing the most incisive passing ability in his rookie season, passing the ball ruthlessly, accurately, steadily, and with an excellent overall view, especially good at aerial relays."

"Mission goal - to beat Chris Paul's New Orleans Hornets and suppress Paul's pass assists no more than 10."

After the draft was over, because of James's relationship, Yang Di met Paul.

At that time, Yang Di felt that this short-looking point guard had a unique heart for the game, not only speaking old-fashioned, but also playing like an old man in his thirties.

After the All-Star Game in February, Chris Paul averaged 18 points and 9 assists per game, becoming the best player in the class of '05 and directly attacking the Rookie of the Year honor.

Yang Di saw that Chris Paul was also the first player in the class of 05 to break through to the S- level, and now he has a rating of 98, which is A+, which is just one step away from S-.

But on the court, Yang Di is not opposite Paul, suppressing Paul's assists no more than 10 times, a bit of resignation, if Paul is in good shape, and the other players in the Hornets are in good shape, Yang Di will not be able to suppress a few times even if he compensates for a foul, on the contrary, he will be taken out of rhythm, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Yang Di thought about how to restrain Paul's play, and after thinking about it, he remembered that in the last game, after the big score victory over the Kings, the two sides changed to the bench lineup and entered the garbage time, if he could lead the Hornets by a large score in three quarters again, it would be difficult for Paul to get 10 assists if he played one less quarter.

"That's probably the only way to go." Yang Di nodded himself, and made up his mind to go all out from the beginning of this game.

......

The Hornets now have the highest combat power David West, a student of the same level as Yang Di, who suddenly broke out in the second half of the season, scoring 20+ in consecutive games, and his average points per game rose all the way to 17 points, becoming the most stable scoring point of the Hornets, and his ability value has also crossed the S- mark of 100.

David West has also become a representative of the 03 class that is gradually showing his prominence.

The game opens and the Hornets field out PG Chris Paul, SG Rasol Butler, SF Linton Johnson III, PF David West, C is the lineup of PJ Brown.

On the Warriors' side, Danny Granger sat firmly in the starting SG in the second half of the season, PG is still Byron Davis, SF is Mike Dunleavy, PF Yang Di, and C is Tyson Chandler.

Chandler jumped to win over 37-year-old veteran PJ Brown.

Byron Davis was booed for attacking with the ball from his old club.

Of course, there are also some fans who remember Davis's contribution to the team and the city, and gave Byron Davis a round of applause for his appearance.

Yang Di in the fourth position rose to the high post and Byron played high and low positions, and Davis, with a fluttering beard, broke through from the left side along with Yang Di's blocking.

Danny Granger in the second position moved up the touchline and prepared to catch the ball.

Yang Di went down, and Byron Davis felt that the Hornets were not very strong in Yang Di's defense, so after attracting David West's defensive sideways, he directly hit the ground and distributed the ball to Yang Di.

Yang Di grabbed the ball with both hands, leaned over to accelerate the dribble, and before Rasol behind him came over, he directly strode with his right foot to the right sideways to break through, and the speed was very fast.

When David West adjusted again, Yang Di already had a position advantage, and then Yang Di directly grabbed the basketball with one hand and flew up, twisted his waist and abdomen in the air, held the basketball with both hands, and shot after a slight shake.

After the basketball hit the board, Yang Di easily scored 2 points.

The Hornets attacked, and Paul advanced with the ball.

At the top of the arc, Paul reached out and commanded, and after almost a season, he had learned to play the right way and what suited him best.

The Hornets' No. 2 and No. 3 positions opened up space, and David West, who was also No. 4, moved to the high post.

But at the same time, PJ Brown set up a second offensive pick-and-roll at the elbow position, and after Paul shook in front of him, the dribble moved to the right, and the basketball seemed to be glued to his hand, and Byron Davis was blocked by the first line of defense.

Paul sped past the Warriors' defense, and Yang Di moved sideways to block, and the basketball ghostly disappeared into Paul's hands.

"This pass!" Yang Di was shocked, turned his head to see that David West, who was the first, received the ball, and then made a straight-arm jumper near the free throw line area.

Unguarded, easy hits.

"It's so good to be able to pass on the ground!" Yang Di also found it hard to believe Paul's speed of progress, when he met the Hornets before, Paul had not yet mastered the movement and passing in this tactic.

Paul came up and got an assist, Yang Di shook his head, and his heart was even more alert.

The Warriors block and dismantle cooperation, and the tactical level is somewhat similar to the Hornets, but as the offensive finisher of Yang Di, the offensive routines are more abundant, and the lethality of the breakthrough is obviously stronger.

After Danny Granger missed a jumper, Jandy struggled to get the ball to the perimeter.

Mike Dunleavy hit a three-pointer to give the Warriors an 11-5 six-point lead over the Hornets, who called a timeout.

At the end of the timeout, Paul changed direction before dribbling the ball under his crotch.

Byron Davis, who shook off the defense, made a jumper from the mid-range position, and hit an accurate shot, and the Hornets fell behind 7-11.

Subsequently, Yang Di asked for the ball in the low post.

Byron Davis wanted to play a response ball by himself, but when he saw Yang Di taking the initiative to ask for the ball, he still couldn't help but not attack by himself, Yang Di fell to a low position, and everyone pulled away.

In the low post, David West had a broken thought in his mouth.

"Come on, come on, you can't score on my head, I'll break your teeth." David West said some irrelevant trash talk, and Yang Di listened to it and took the initiative to filter it.

Yang Di controlled the ball with his left hand, and hit West's chest with his right shoulder and back.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang in his chest, and West was hit with a muffled snort, and immediately subconsciously lowered his center of gravity, preparing for Yang Di's second impact.

Sure enough, Yang Di's second heavy mountain impact generally came in, and West finally resisted Yang Di better after lowering his center of gravity.

Yang Di suddenly turned around, controlled the ball with his left hand and turned head-on and walked to the middle.

Yang Di's steps were very big, David West and PJ Brown were sandwiched over, Yang Di raised his arms and hooked gently, and the movement seemed like Abdul-Jabbar.

"Hook hands?" Yang Di rarely used this trick, which made the Hornets fans stunned.

"Bell!"

misses, the ball bounces high.

But before the Hornets fans could rejoice, Yang Di squeezed David West and PJ Brown away, forced a jump under the basket, and overtook the two with a big hand, with a slight touch.

Fill the basket into the frame.
