Chapter 805: End of March
Alston felt that it was difficult to defend, and Maddy, Yao Ming and others also found it very tricky.
Byron was too fast and strong, and the name of the bulldozer on the back line was not taken lightly, and when he was in possession of the ball, he often wiped his body, or attacked the defender in direct confrontation, and then went inside.
Byron Davis is also particularly strong at finishing the basket, and he can complete physical confrontations with interior players, create fouls, or break through the ball, or directly attack the basket. There are so many options that it's simply impossible to defend, especially when Byron Davis is in very good shape and is still shooting 3-of-5 from the outside line, which is even more difficult to defend.
"It's too difficult, Yang Di didn't go all out, and Byron already made us anxious."
Yao Ming looked at Yang Di, who was resting on the sidelines, Yang Di had already put on his training jacket to cover his No. 8 jersey, he looked up at the ceiling, as if he was watching the game replay, and seemed to be looking at the technical statistics.
"Yang Di definitely didn't have his full strength, and he had very few attacks with the ball today." Yao Ming knew in his heart that Yang Di had begun to retain his physical strength for the playoffs, and if it was not a critical moment, or a particularly anxious situation, he was an ordinary normal offense, and even mid-range jumpers accounted for the vast majority of the offense.
According to media reports, the reason why Yang Di can play better than the regular season in the playoffs is also one of the important reasons for his reasonable season physical allocation. Just like Duncan of the Spurs and Michael Jordan of the Bulls, Jordan is better, Duncan is a typical salted fish in the regular season and broke out in the playoffs.
"Byron has broken through! The breakaway point went to Monta Ellis, and Monta Ellis hit the inside and hit a layup! ”
"Byron has broken through! Step back jumper! Or hits! ”
"The Warriors blocked and dismantled the cover, Byron hit a mid-range jumper, missed, and this time it was finally gone!"
Byron led the bench players to play in the wind, and in just a few minutes, the Warriors launched a 12-3 shockwave, and the Rockets trailed by as many as 15 points in an instant, and Van Gundy called two timeouts in a row.
"During this time, there has been a fault line in the Rockets' offense, and if they want to play like this, the Warriors should be stable in this game."
Cai Nan turned his head and said with a smile with Yang Jian.
Yang Jianhan echoed with a smile: "That's right, what the Rockets are thinking about now is how to break this offensive deadlock, whether Coach Van Gundy should replace Yao Ming and Maddy, and in the case of Artest's strong attack and defeat, some corresponding changes need to be made." ”
The two of them were here to make plans, but Van Gundy had a big head, and after thinking about it for a long time, he had to replace all the main forces and fight for his life.
Yang Di and Ray Allen also came on at this time, replacing the sweaty Byron Davis.
After his debut, Yang Di took the initiative to ask for the ball and singled out Scola who was defending him with his back.
Van Gundy clasped his hands together, and there was no nervousness about the Rockets falling so far behind, but he still wanted these new signings to play the performance he was expecting.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Yang Di saw that there was no bag, arched back twice with all his strength, and then turned around, touched the ground on his toes, bent his knees steadily, and turned in the air to jump back.
Scola couldn't jump high, and the defense was hit by Yang Di and lost his strength, and the defense felt like paper paste.
"Huh!" Hit!
The fans in the Oracle arena raised their hands and shook their black jerseys wildly, although the Warriors were wearing white today, in their minds, the Warriors were still a black devils, which was very cool.
The Rockets were able to score as well, and Yao Ming hit a hook shot to break the deadlock for the Rockets.
But the score gap has been stretched to 15 points, and it is very difficult to catch up with the current rhythm of the Rockets.
Maddie missed a couple of outside three-point jumpers, and the clock ticked by.
After Byron Davis came on the court again, playing less than 3 minutes and with the last 4 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game, the Warriors led the Rockets by 18 points 106-88, and the game had turned into garbage time.
Van Gundy thought about it, replaced Yao Ming, Artest and other players, and gave up the game.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Rockets 113-97.
Byron Davis was named the best player of the game when he finished with 38 points, 14 assists and four steals on 11-of-20 shooting as he single-handedly turned the Rockets' perimeter defense upside down.
Yao Ming had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Yang Di had 19 points and 16 rebounds, and the Chinese derby was robbed of the limelight by the beard.
The bearded man gave a post-match interview, and ESPN's sideline reporter handed him the microphone.
'The team-mates played well in attack and defence, we passed and shared the ball with each other, which was our usual normal rhythm of the game, Ray Allen, Jandy, Trevo, we did what the coach wanted us to do before the game, we scored some crucial goals, it was a hearty win.
The home win is also the most watched game in the NBA since March.
Subsequently, the Warriors continued to usher in away games, and the rhythm and schedule of the game were almost the same as in November and February, except that they had the best physical fitness at that time, and now, Montgomery has begun to consider storing combat power for the overall team, so he selectively transferred some players and reduced the playing time of Yang Di and other main players.
Especially when fighting back-to-back, Yang Di and other main players played less than 30 minutes, and the physical consumption was very low.
The final two games of March were back-to-back, with a trip to Denver to take on the Nuggets before returning home to face the Dallas Mavericks.
The Denver Nuggets wanted Allen Iverson in the middle of the season, and the combination of the Golden Twin was not good at all.
But then because there was no suitable buyer, the plan ran aground, and what was even more embarrassing was that Alan Iverson found out about it, and Iverson was unhappy.
How is Iverson also a supergiant in the league, after leaving the 76ers in the past two years, it has been very difficult to play under the roof, but I didn't expect the Nuggets to fall into the ground, so impersonal want to trade him, and without any notice in advance, they treat him as an ordinary player.
Iverson's agent and Nuggets' management had a fight, and the Nuggets' record was even worse, and they were about to fall out of the top eight.
According to this configuration of the Nuggets, it should not be played like this, so if the Nuggets finish eighth, they will challenge the Warriors in the playoffs, which is tantamount to the most difficult news.
After waiting for the Warriors to arrive at home, the Nuggets took the game as a playoff preview and played very seriously.
The referee also took some care of the Nuggets with higher odds, Iverson and Anthony scored crazy points, and in the end, the Nuggets actually defeated the Warriors 109-107, which was an upset of the day.
