Chapter 708: Rhythm One

"The Warriors had a terrible pace, and the Rockets played their usual defense."

"If it goes on like this, the Warriors only scored about 80 points in the fourth quarter of the game, which is the score scored in the third quarter of the previous game with the Suns, and the Rockets can limit the Warriors to this point?"

"If you want to play like this, the probability of the Rockets winning is very high."

As soon as the first quarter ended, many people thought that the Rockets played a very high-quality game, and the whole game rhythm was firmly in their own hands, while the Warriors were relatively far worse than expected.

The two sides entered the rotation of the substitute lineup.

The Warriors brought on Monta Ellis, Matt Barnes and Biedrins, and the Warriors were basically dominated by an eight-man rotation.

The Rockets opted for a nine-man rotation, with Luthor Hyde, Juwan Howard and Dicambe Mutombo starting the game and playing a few minutes before switching to Vasrith Spanoures.

In the regular season, Spann played the Warriors very happily, and when he played the Mavericks in the last round, he also performed very well, won the trust of coach Van Gundy, and successfully entered the regular rotation of the Rockets.

The Warriors brought in Trevor Ariza to also reach the nine-man rotation.

In less than 5 minutes, Ariza was replaced again, and the Warriors replaced Yang Di and Danny Granger, and after a series of adjustments, Yang Di took the bench to play.

Monta Ellis did not have the form when he played the Suns, and in the last round of playing the Suns, Monta Ellis was like a drug, averaging 18.9 points per game and becoming the Warriors' third-in-command.

The Rockets' No. 1 defense isn't any better than the Suns', but the slow pace makes Monta-Ellis feel a lot of pain, and it doesn't seem to even feel good.

Two jumpers were missed, and the layup was also interfered with and rolled out.

At 5:22 in the second quarter, Yang Di helped Monta Ellis cover, and Monta Ellis stepped inside and hit his first shot of the game with a quick layup.

At this point, the Warriors made a second lineup change, with Ray Allen coming on as a replacement, Fisher also playing, and Monta Ellis coming off the floor.

His expression was a little depressed, in such a big game, he couldn't play the role of a microwave oven, and returned to the bench with his head down.

The Rockets attacked, and after guiding the ball, Yao Ming received the ball in the low post.

Receiving the ball and half-turning and pretending to shoot, Tyson Chandler jumped up tricked, Yao Ming took his steps to break through, and Yang Di immediately came to help defend him.

Yao Ming made a three-and-a-half-step throw-up layup, and Yang Di jumped up to interfere and missed.

Yang Di jumped on the spot, took off the rebound, and landed on the ground with a beautiful turn, striding forward meteorically.

"It's coming!"

It's not the first time that Yang Di has grabbed a backcourt rebound, but this time after grabbing a backcourt rebound, he directly and flexibly got rid of Hayes and Yao Ming, taking the lead, dribbling and advancing immediately showed a speed advantage, and went straight to the Rockets halfcourt.

Once he runs, he becomes unstoppable, reloaded, and rampage.

Maddie's pupils contracted suddenly, and he didn't care to step forward and delay Yang Di.

However, Yang Di changed direction in front of his body, changed his right hand to control the ball with his left hand, and at the same time stretched out his right hand to block, blocking Maddie's outstretched arm, and with a force, the speed of running was a point faster.

The lineup was pulled very open all of a sudden, and the Rockets' defensive rhythm was beaten to a pulp.

Yang Di rushed into the three-point line, only the thin Alston was defending in front of him, Alston measured his thin arms and Yang Di's thick bull-like body, and decisively chose to give up this defense, watching Yang Di rise into the air and dunk violently, completing the whole game.

Yang Di landed, picked up the bounced basketball, threw it off the court, and retreated to the defense, at this time, Yao Ming ran to the middle line, and without half the court, he went back directly to prepare for the attack.

"Steady!"

Alston shouted, pretending that nothing had just happened, possessing the ball past half the court, then passing to Maddie, who was 45 degrees, ran to the bottom corner and went to the ambush.

Maddie: "......."

Yao Ming came out to block the pick-and-roll, Maddie and Yao Ming blocked the pick-and-roll, but it didn't work well, Danny Granger cleverly got close to Maddie, and as Maddie passed the pick-and-roll defense.

Maddie changed hands and dribbled, pulled back and walked around Yao Ming again, still not getting rid of Danny Granger.

At this time, Yao Ming went down, Tyson Chandler went around to defend Yao Ming, not giving Yao Ming a chance to catch the ball, Maddie saw that there was not much time left, and began to dribble and single out Danny Granger.

After two dribbles, he found that Danny Granger was a little far away from him and went straight to the dry pull-up jumper for a three-point shot.

The offensive options were terrible, with Danny Granger being one step away but catching up and disrupting was not ambiguous at all, and his long arms gave him a natural defensive flair that just covered Maddie's eyes.

Maddie couldn't see anything, and shot three-pointers by feeling.

"Bell~"

The basketball bounced up, and Yang Di, who was stuck in the main position under the basket, stepped forward and flew to pick up the rebound.

Hayes reacted quickly this time, not in a hurry to retreat, directly forcing Yang Di, not giving Yang Di space to dribble, Yang Di took a step inside the bottom line, looked at the field, and gave the vacant Fisher.

At this point, Danny Granger was already on the fast break, and the moment the blindfold defense was completed, he went on the fast break.

It's just that this time because Yang Di was delayed, he didn't pass the ball out at the first time, and Danny Granger didn't have a chance to break fast.

Fisher is ready to move forward steadily.

Suddenly, a dark shadow sprang out from his side, beckoning him for the ball as he ran.

"What's the situation!"

Fisher fixed his eyes, Yang Di didn't know where to appear, ran to the front, there was no one around him to defend, he immediately made a quick pass from a short distance.

After giving it to Yang Di, Yang Di had already shaken off Hayes and dribbled and sprinted.

Yao Ming was ready to defend, but Yang Di's impact was amazing, and at this time, Battier let go of Ray Allen to stop Yang Di from advancing to the inside.

Yang Di turned his head and glanced at Ray Allen, which frightened Battier and immediately braked.

The corners of Yang Di's mouth turned up slightly, leaned over to accelerate, and forcibly overtook from the left side of Battier.

Battier only reacted, Maddie had already helped him fill in the position, how could Yang Di give up such a good opportunity and pass to the outside?

Yao Ming looked at Yang Di and rushed over, remembering the scene he had been held by him more than a year ago.

"Come on!"

He let out a loud shout.

Yang Di flew up on the ground, regardless of the fact that he seemed to be about to detain him again.

Yao Ming leaned forward and added an initial speed to himself, Yang Di's impact was too exaggerated, if he didn't have the kinetic energy of this hedge, he might be knocked out by Yang Di.

"Bang!"

The two men collided as if they were planets, making a loud noise.

Yang Di hunched up the basketball and placed it behind his head, dodging Yao Ming's block.

The body twisted slightly, and the side pressed the ball down.

Between the lightning and flint, Yao Ming only felt that his arm seemed to be a little slower, and Yang Di waved his hand extremely fast, passing through his defensive area and grabbing the basket.

"Bang dang!"

Shocked.
