Chapter 715: Houston II

"The home whistle is too obvious!"

Tyson Chandler walked off the field in disgriet, and he suddenly remembered a joke that was circulating, "Today the referee wore a red jersey." ”

"It's okay, there's Yang Di on the court, it doesn't matter, it's the playoffs, you have to adapt to the sudden difficulties of these penalty scales." Head coach Montgomery said with a smile, instead to comfort Chandler.

Chandler waved his hand and then high-fived the head coach, "No, I'm fine, I know how to play, coach." ”

"Yes, okay."

Montgomery raised his head, and on the court, Yang Di and Ray Allen continued to play a delicate match, and after Yang Di went down, Hayes resisted Yang Di and did not let him go inside.

Yang Di took advantage of his speed and height to leap and jump, bounce off the ground, and turn around to jump.

Hayes was well prepared, and one hand was always covering Yang Di's face, almost not inserting it into his eye.

"Huh!"

Yang Di leaned back and stumbled two steps on the ground, but the basketball was still thrown.

"Beautiful!"

Montgomery stroked his palm and chuckled, moved two steps to the bench, and then sat down peacefully, the Rockets were a little fierce at home today, but fortunately, with the support of Yang Di, the Warriors were still able to bite the score, as long as it dragged on to the fourth quarter, the probability of the Warriors winning would become very high.

But within a few minutes of sitting down, he got up again.

This time, Yang Di also became a little iron, and Yang Di's mid-range jumper and layup were interfered with one after another.

On the contrary, the Rockets scored 4 points through free throws and mid-range jumpers, and the Rockets led the Warriors by 7 points 16-9, and Montgomery immediately gestured to the referee and applied for a timeout.

At this point, with 4:33 left in the first quarter, the Warriors were on the low side of scoring, and they didn't score points for many rounds in a row.

In the first quarter, the Rockets played the most executed game in the series, including the defense of Yang Di, the control of mistakes, and slowly dragged the game into a positional battle, forcing the shooting percentage of the entire Warriors team to plummet.

Yang Di looked up, and on the red bench over there, Yao Ming's tall body was extremely eye-catching.

In the Toyota Center, the number of fans who support Yao Ming and support Maddie is almost 55, in the minds of Houston fans, Yao Ming is the champion they selected, and it is another super big man for the Rockets after Olajuwon, they have witnessed Yao Ming's youth in his rookie season, to his maturity today, and the dominance on the court. Yao Ming was selected for the league for two consecutive years, and after Yang Di moved to the forward position, he confirmed his name as the first center.

Yao Ming also suddenly turned his head and saw Yang Di looking over.

The eyes of the two met, and Yang Di suddenly smiled, not to say hello, but to feel that this situation was special.

Yao Ming also smiled, when the two of them were off the court, they often played games and ate together, but they didn't expect to play the enemy of life and death on the field now.

The referee in front of the technical table took advantage of the long pause to admire the Rocket Girl in hot shorts and quickly took two sips of water.

"Are we blowing the ground too hard, you see they're only getting nine points now, and as usual, it's probably two minutes." The bald referee suddenly turned to ask the other two referees in a low voice.

One of the white referees said, "We're just blowing normally, the problem is that they did foul as well, and we blew them for fouls as a matter of course." ”

'It's just, we just blew our normal whistle, we didn't get affected, and this game was meant to be at that pace.'

'Okay, but I hope at half-time that we'll study the footage a little bit more, and I think in the first half we could have a little bit of a mismatch, so try to reduce that as much as possible, you know, it's a game that the whole world is watching.'

The other two nodded, then exchanged different opinions for a while, and looked at the time.

At the end of the timeout, the stadium emits a "beep" synthesized sound, which is particularly loud and overhears the noise, and then the DJ will introduce that the timeout is over.

The Warriors were in an offensive crisis, and during the timeout, Montgomery also laid out a series of responses.

In the last game, Fisher handed possession to Ray Allen.

Ray Allen dribbled twice on the outside, Yang Di came out to block and dismantle Ray Allen, Ray Allen moved to the upper line, and Yang Di dismantled and cut to the bottom line.

Although Yang Di has a high offensive efficiency in the low post, he still likes to play blocking and dismantling with his teammates more.

Because when playing blocking, the team's efficiency is higher, the low post is just him alone to attack, when blocking, the whole team moves, many times, he just blocks, runs two steps, he can attract a lot of defense from the opponent, and then teammates can get the opportunity to shoot, his task suddenly becomes much easier.

What he doesn't understand the most is why some interior players are reluctant to block and dismantle, how many years have Stockton and Karl Malone blocked and dismantled, two people are the first in the league's all-time assist list and the second in the league's all-time scoring list.

After blocking and dismantling this time, Yang Di, who was empty, attracted the defensive attention of Hayes and Battier, Alston changed to Ray Allen, and Monta Ellis made an empty jumper on the outside.

"Bell~"

Deviation, Yang Di was stuck by the two, and his left and right arms seemed to be imprisoned, watching Maddie fly in and grab the rebound in the perfect card position of many teammates.

"Still nothing!"

Drexler was very happy, he was behind the Rockets, and he was a little overjoyed to see the Warriors attacking today.

"Ray Allen should have shot himself, he's the most accurate player for the Warriors, he should be on his feet, whether it's a single-block cover shot or a pull-up jumper, it's better than a teammate who doesn't shoot in an open position." Reggie Miller looked at the situation on the field and analyzed.

In this era, it is not an unreasonable shooting choice to shoot against people, sometimes you can't score, and that's how superstars lead the team out of the predicament.

Montgomery was also clearly aware of this, and arranged for Ray Allen and Jandy to take turns with the superstar tactics of attacking with the ball while the Warriors continued to feel cold throughout the team.

This was a choice out of desperation, and at the end of the first quarter, it turned out to be a good result.

Yang Di made a layup under the basket, hitting 4 free throws in a row, Ray Allen shot a few times, hit a difficult dry three-pointer, the Warriors recovered 7 points, 18-24 at the end of the first quarter, and only trailed the Rockets by 6 points.

You know, at most, the Warriors trailed the Rockets by nearly 10 points.
