Chapter 665: Fighting the Holy City Again One

After a timeout, the Spurs made a high pick-and-roll.

Oberto's offense is average, under Chandler's defense, the Spurs will not choose high and low post cooperation, Duncan blocks for the outside Parker, Parker holds the ball and attacks.

After Fisher's defense, Parker drew Youngdy to the pack and passed it back to Duncan.

Duncan threw a shot in front of Chandler, and the basketball smashed and bounced off the basket, but it still didn't.

Yang flew in and snatched the rebound, and the Warriors still led by five points at 106-101.

The audience could see that the Spurs seemed to be a little weak in overtime, and many goals were missed, and they immediately cheered harder and made more noise.

Then, Yang Di continued to dig in, turned around and squeezed Duncan away, and missed the throw.

The rebound was grabbed by Chandler, who made a comeback and caused Oberto's foul.

"What, another foul!" Spurs fans are very angry, and with the home bonus of Oracle Arena, the Warriors can easily get the free throw advantage, but fortunately, this time the foul was not on Duncan.

Chandler walked over and high-fived Yang Di and the others, and walked to the free throw line to make free throws.

One of two free throws gave the Warriors a six-point lead at 107-101.

In just over 2 minutes, 6 points is a very big lead, and to make matters worse, the Spurs haven't scored a point in overtime so far.

The dumb fire came suddenly, and Ginobili's shot still missed, but the rebound was grabbed by Duncan.

Duncan dribbled under Yang Di's defense and squeezed Yang Di to force up, but the shot was interfered with by Chandler, and after hitting the board, Yang Di grabbed the rebound under the basket.

Although Duncan still had no expression, a touch of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

The Warriors were not in a hurry to attack, Fisher dragged the tempo, slowly consuming only fifteen seconds, and then handed the ball to Yang Di, and all opened the singles.

Yang Di singled out Duncan, dribbled in front of the body and changed direction, dribbled all the way to the bottom line, and made a sideways jumper.

The basketball hollowed into the net, and the audience cheered even more, and Yang Di was also happy, raising his arms and shouting loudly.

Popovich stood on the sidelines and did not call a timeout, he had already seen the decline of the Spurs, not because of tactical or physical interference, but purely because the Spurs failed to make key shots, and there was not much difference from the last game.

109-101, the hearts of Spurs fans kept sinking.

As the clock ticked, the Spurs ended up scoring two points in the entire overtime or two near the end of the game.

The Warriors defeated the Spurs 101-103 to claim their second win in the first round of the playoffs.

As soon as the game ended, Yang Di breathed a sigh of relief, and finally kept the home field, and the next games were relatively less stressful, if he lost any of the two home games, the subsequent games would become extremely difficult.

……

In the locker room of the stadium, a large number of media reporters flocked to the stadium.

The Warriors players came out one after another after showering, wrapped in towels one by one, revealing their strong muscles.

Yang Di moved the fastest, and it didn't take long to change all his clothes, not wearing formal clothes, a T-shirt inside, and a long-sleeved jacket outside.

Young, Ray Allen and head coach Montgomery attended the press conference.

The three of them sat at the table, behind which was the background of the press conference composed of the Warriors squad logo.

Officials presided over the press conference, and Yahoo Sports reporters were the first to stand up and ask questions.

The first question is to ask head coach Montgomery.

"The Warriors seemed to have some difficulties in the first half, but they quickly adjusted and won the whole game. Can you tell us a little bit about the changes? ”

"Yes," Montgomery nodded, "The Spurs' tight defense made us uncomfortable, and at the beginning we had some difficulties, but our players adjusted well, they quickly equalized with impact and shooting, and dragged the game into the rhythm we liked. ”

Montgomery said a whole bunch of paradoxical things, attributing the credit to the player's ability to self-adjust.

The ESPN reporter stood up and asked Yang Di.

"In the last period, you almost dominated the game on both ends of the floor, and the Spurs couldn't do anything about you, and you had a chance to win this series."

Yang Di raised his eyebrows, and this question was asked very carefully.

He thought for a moment, then said slowly, "The Spurs beat us two years ago, and I've been waiting for a chance to rematch them in the series. I've been training hard and trying to improve myself just to cope with the situation and now it seems to be in good shape. But I don't think I'm dominating the game on both ends of the floor, the real game, starting with San Antonio! ”

The reporter was stunned, did Yang Di answer him? It seemed to answer him.

Ray Allen covered his mouth and smiled, he was in the best mood to beat the Spurs twice at home, when he was in the superSonics, he dared to guarantee that he would definitely not have a chance to beat the Spurs, but now he has a chance to rush to the second round, or even higher.

Ray Allen was then asked by reporters.

"Hit a total of nine three-pointers in two games, and once you entered the playoffs, you became the most consistent battery on the outside of the Warriors, and some people say that you are now the best shooting guard in the league, what do you think?"

"I've always thought I'm strong, and as for the number of places in the league, it's not my own rank, and if I can win a championship, I can consider myself the best team in the league as a shooting guard." Ray Allen is still very modest, and there are many strong point guards in the league, such as Iverson, Kobe, Arenas, Vince Carter, Wade, etc.

The trio took turns answering questions from reporters and enthusiastically promoting the event.

As a result, there were 4 2-0 matchups in the first round of the West, and fans are more concerned about what will happen after the two sides exchange venues.

The G3 match between the Warriors and Spurs takes place on April 28.

The Spurs flew back to San Antonio that night, and the Warriors flew to San Antonio the following day.

At the same time, the league began to announce the major awards after the end of the season.

The first to be announced was the Rookie of the Year award, with Brandon Roy being named the Rookie of the Year in '06-07 with 55.38 percent of the vote, averaging 16.8 points and four assists per game.

Bhagyani averaged 11.6 points per game with 22 percent of the vote.

It is worth mentioning that Yi Jianlian won 10.9 percent of the votes with an average of 9 points per game.

Then there are rookies like Rudy Gay, Adam Morrison, Randy Foye, etc.

This was followed by the announcement of the Most Improved Player, with Kevin Martin becoming the Most Improved Player of the Year with 66 percent of the vote.

Kevin Martin, who scored just 10.8 points last season, became the Kings' leading scorer this season, averaging 20.2 points per game.

Delon, Monta Ellis, Al Jefferson and others finished in the next place.

What excites Yang Di the most is that after the Spurs and Warriors G2 game is over, it is time for the best defensive player to be announced!
