Chapter 639: Fighting Salt Lake City Six
The Warriors are playing hard, and the Jazz are not feeling good.
The physical exertion of the main forces of the two sides is amazing, as if they fought back-to-back games on weekdays.
DeLong really thinks that if he meets the Warriors in the playoffs, how to play, Yang Di alone is not easy to defend at all, whether it is a positional battle or a conversion offense, Yang Di is simply a machine, and his dominance is amazing.
"It's better to play the Rockets, the Suns and the Spurs."
Delon silently lined up in his heart, the Mavericks are too outrageous this season, and they can't win when they meet eighty percent, and the Rockets, Suns, Spurs, and Warriors are in front of them.
The Warriors tried it today, and they felt that they were going to lose their skin, and Yang Di alone didn't know how to defend.
Relatively speaking, the Rockets are his most ideal opponent, Maddie's strength has declined, and there is Kirilenko to defend, although Yao Ming is difficult to defend inside, but it is only about 30 points in a game, and Oku's feet are flexible, and the projection range is wide, Yao Ming pulls it out, and it will be difficult to go in again.
The most critical thing is that the Rockets don't have a good guard, and Alston is thin like a monkey who can easily crush him.
In the same way, it is also cool to play the sun, and Nash can easily cut points.
It's just that unlike the Rockets, the Suns also have a kraft candy defensive expert Raga Bell, this kid is black, dirty, and a ruthless character, just like the Warriors' Matt Barnes, who is simply a villain on the court.
The Spurs are tightly like a machine, Boozer asked him to play against Duncan, that is, to give away points, and the Spurs are old and strong, and they have always been the toughest opponent in the playoffs, and they have won more and won less against the Spurs.
So DeLong compares to the playoffs, if he can pick an opponent in the playoffs, it is better to play with the Rockets.
The battle between the Warriors and the Spurs has reached a white-hot stage, the Jazz guarantee is fourth, then the opponent will be fifth, if the Warriors lag behind the Spurs, they will fall from third to fifth all of a sudden, then they may meet the Warriors in the playoffs, and according to the record, there is no home court advantage.
"Pit, why are you fighting so hard?"
Delon thinks about it carefully, the Rockets, Spurs, and Warriors are all three teams that could be their opponents, and now it's like buying a lottery ticket, choosing one of the three.
The huge back of No. 8 swayed in front of him.
Yang Di stood at the free throw line, took the referee's second pass, took a deep breath, and scored the ball.
This season, Yang made the league's top three foul free throws, averaging 9.5 free throws per game, and he hit 7.9 of them, a shooting percentage that put a group of guards to shame.
This is also the result of Yang Di's increase in mid-range shooting, if Yang Di also attacks close to the restricted area like O'Neal, it is estimated that the average number of free throws per game will break through to more than 10.
92-99, the Jazz trailed by seven points with 2:37 left in the clock.
Delon gathered his mind and pushed forward with the ball.
Rookie Paul Millsap surprised Yang Di with his tenacity, a young player who, although not particularly strong, was not afraid of confrontation at all, was knocked away by him again and again, and came up again and again, and received a foul on the defensive end and would not let Yang Di score easily.
It's a glorious legacy of the Jazz, with Millsap being tougher than Boozer.
Sloan told DeLong that Boozer was no longer and that he should increase his ball handling and be more tough to break through and score.
Delon faced Monta Ellis, accelerated in a straight line to break through, directly smashed into Monta Ellis's defense, attracted Yang Di to wrap up, and the bottom line was given to Kirilenko on the strong wing.
Kirilenko made a three-pointer from the outside to meet Matt Barnes' defense.
Barnes jumped up and almost violated Kirilenko in the air, a black foot threatening Kirilenko's landing.
Distracted, the shot misses.
Yang Di and Millsap jumped up together to grab rebounds, Millsap's bounce was very good, and with the addition of strength, he almost touched the basketball.
But Yang Di jumped with both hands raised, and when he caught the ball, he was more powerful and firmly grasped it in his hand.
Turning around, Yang Di advanced with the ball.
It was too late to retreat from the front, Millsap and the others ran forward with their backs to Yang Di, but in the blink of an eye, Yang Di overtook them from behind, changed direction in front of his body and accelerated to the front.
Yang Di went to the basket with the ball in one hand and took three steps.
Millsap and Oku flew in and crashed into Yang Di's body in the air, and the three big men fell out of the bottom line together.
Yang Di stretched out his right hand as far as he could, shook his hand and stepped forward, and completed a basket layup with a big ring arm.
Dodge the big hands of the other two.
"Toot ~"
The whistle blew, and after hitting the board, it bumped and finally fell into the hoop.
“And one!”
Yang Di yelled, jumped up from the floor excitedly, switched offense, and didn't make too fancy moves, just skillfully dribbling, finding gaps to impact the basket, and forcing the goal in the foul of others.
"35th point."
After Yang Di took over the basketball, he scored a free throw and scored his 36th point.
At this point, the Warriors led the Jazz by exactly 10 points at 102-92, with only two minutes left in the game.
Sloan called a timeout, one of the Jazz's last three fouls, and after that, the Jazz had to call two more fouls. Sloan also knew that this timeout was not enough, but there was no way, if the Jazz team did not resist one last time, this energy-consuming and very difficult game would have to be explained.
The voices of the Jazz fans who had shouted for the whole game finally quieted down, and a smile appeared on Yang Di's face.
I yelled in my heart, "You scream again, jump again!" ”
This two plus one is really cool, when Yang Di lost his balance, he reached out and hit a layup.
In the replay footage, Yang Di's goal just now was constantly played, Millsap and Oku were both red-eyed, almost half rushing to people, Yang Di was violated by the two and his body lost his center of gravity, but his long arms still maintained the rhythm when he came around, his fingers were gentle and unpresentable, and he picked a basket with a low hand from a distance and scored the ball.
After a timeout, the Jazz attacked in the half.
Delon hit a three-pointer to keep the Jazz alive.
The tenacious Jazz still didn't give up the game, and the Warriors also gave the opportunity, and this crucial wave of offensive misses made the Jazz see the possibility of narrowing the score to less than five points.
DeLong blocked and was caught in the bag, and Oku shot from the outside, and Oku shot a two-point shot from a long distance.
"Bell!"
After playing a key iron, Yang Di was overjoyed, grabbed the rebound, held it high, did not rush to attack, and controlled the rhythm on the court.
"Don't panic, run out of time." Ray Allen received the ball in front of the court and made a tactical instruction from Montgomery on the sidelines, and the minutes and seconds of the score passed.
Ronnie Brewer stepped forward to press, and Ray Allen stepped on the logo, just not in a hurry to attack.
The less time there is, the more anxious the Jazz players feel.
It's almost time to wait, Ray Allen beckoned Yang Di to come out to block and dismantle, the two cooperated in a high position, Jazz didn't dare to let go of Yang Di, Ray Allen was able to break through, and Jazz found the right time to wrap up.
Ray Allen mid-range jumper, hit.
"Hey, it's in again!"
A sigh rang out in the Energy Solutions Arena~
