Chapter 684: Empty Slash Three
Stoudemire was embarrassed, he was teased like a monkey by Yang Di between applause.
The audience booed Yang Di while looking up at the replay of the big screen at the scene, Yang Di's set of basket steps reminded of the No. 34 in Houston more than ten years ago.
Yang Di held back the fire in his belly, Phoenix's stadium environment was as bad as Salt Lake City, and everyone seemed to be his enemy.
Looking around, he just wanted to beat the sun hard and blow their arrogance.
A minute later, the Suns made a substitution, replacing Smalls and Nash, while Marion remained on the court, and the Suns had a large and four small lineup, with Marion becoming the No. 4 position.
The heavy responsibility of defending Yang Di, they are evenly divided together, and Marion can't prevent Yang Di, but his long arms like Tarzan of a pair of apes can form enough interference with Yang Di, and the Suns adhere to the wheel battle and wrap-and-clamp strategy, and treat Yang Di as Michael Jordan in defense.
Even so, Yang Di still scored a lot of points, and as long as the Suns' defense was slow, he would score immediately.
Yang Dee scored 40 points, and the Warriors trailed the Suns by five points at 98-103, and he has recovered a lot of points since he came on the court.
Around the middle of the fourth quarter, Yang Di had scored 45 points.
"If this continues, Yang Di's score will break through 50 points, and it will be his new personal scoring record." Barkley flipped through the information and said, "Yang Di's previous highest score in a single playoff game was 45 points, and when he played the Mavericks in the Western Conference finals G1 last year, Yang Di scored 45 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks. ”
Yang Di equaled his playoff career scoring record, and breaking 50 points is obvious.
The Suns are destined to be tied to his record post by Yang Di, and the problem is that if the Suns can win this game, no matter how many points Yang Di gets, it will be in vain.
Yang Di was red-eyed, took the ball and singled Marion with his back, squeezed deep into the inside, attracting Thomas to come to the bag, and then the basket was strong, and the board shot caused Marion to foul.
Basketball scored and added penalties, another 2+1.
He has completed this game many times 2+1, walked to the free throw line, and ESPN gave Yang Di the data of the first round against the Spurs.
He averaged 34.9 points, 15.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, except for a drop in blocks, and his points and rebounds were a big improvement from the regular season.
The main reason is that Yang Di's average playing time per game has also increased, in the first round of the playoffs, he played an average of 41 minutes per game, and in the regular season, he only played 36 minutes.
Subsequently, the Suns continued to adjust, replacing Marion with Dio.
The four inside lines took turns to play against Yang Di, and even the 35-year-old veteran Kurt Thomas was directly opposite Yang Di two or three times, and was devastated by Yang Di.
At about 5 minutes, Stoudemire returned to the court, and the Suns' eight-man rotation could still be transformed? It's just those few people, just to avoid being fouled too many times by Yang Di at one time, and then all the defense is limited and the game is tied, so that Xiao Si, Thomas, and Marion on the court are all 3 fouls, and D'Antoni is quite clear.
Yang Di also carried three fouls, and in the fourth quarter, he focused on protecting himself, and on the defensive end, he avoided a direct foul on the Suns player who attacked the basket.
The scores of the two teams rose so fast that it was immediately tied at 110-113, with the Suns leading by three points.
Yang Di assisted Ray Allen to hit a three-pointer, the Warriors chased it to 113 ties, and the Suns called a timeout.
The audience was more nervous than the players at this time, and the audience stood up with their hands covered, looking at the players of the two teams gathered together for a meeting on the field, not knowing what would happen in the next 3 minutes and 49 seconds.
Yang Di has been scoring points and has already scored 48 points, a career-high in the playoffs.
.......
The two sides returned to the court, and the Suns attacked.
Nash holds the ball at the top of the arc and faces Monta Ellis' defense.
At the critical moment of the Warriors, Montgomery still replaced the faster Monta Ellis, but at the same time, Montgomery made Derrick Fisher ready at any time, Fisher's ability to have a big heart and the unrelenting characteristics of the critical moment are important firepower attraction points for the critical battle.
Nash singled out Monta Ellis, and Ellis bullied up, took the initiative to find a confrontation, and interfered with Nash's dribble.
Sean Marion ran to the top of the arc to receive the ball, turned around with both hands on the ball, and made a three-threat offensive stance, and Danny Granger was ready with his arms outstretched.
Marion broke through directly after a tentative step, and surprisingly did not choose to let Nash take control of the attack.
The top of the arc broke through from the right side, Marion's strong body confronted Danny Granger, and the big stride took advantage of the position, and Jandy moved to flick Marion away.
Marion didn't panic and stopped to play the ball out.
After Nash regained the ball, he broke down to the left with the ball, at which point Stoudemire blocked Nash and blocked Monta Ellis, who was defending him.
Before Yang Di had time to delay, Nash directly blocked the mid-range single-block and made a pull-up jump shot.
Hollow hit!
115 to 113.
Nash started to retreat after shooting, and the Warriors began to serve the baseline quickly.
Monta Ellis sped his legs to the frontcourt, his speed was extremely fast, the dribbler wanted to be unified, no one could cut him, and quickly opened up the offensive area with the Suns and Warriors.
Yang Di ran from the side and stabbed it in.
Monta Ellis glanced at Yang Di, and the Suns immediately followed Yang Di with the two of them, vacating the inside line that was originally guarded, Monta Ellis was still preparing to pass the ball, but when he saw that the hinterland was empty, he changed direction sharply in front of the ball and broke through to the left.
The Suns rotated their defense again, with Kurt Thomas in front of Monta Ellis.
But Ellis was so fast that Thomas didn't have time to react at all, he had already thrown his shot.
The basketball went over the fingertips and only hit the front edge.
Si Jr. was overjoyed, and jumped up under the basket to pick up this relatively easy rebound.
"Watch the back!"
Steve Nash shouted, Xiao Si didn't react yet, there was a wind in the back of his head, and a big hand suddenly appeared behind him, and the speed of the rise was actually a little faster than him, and at the same time, the body hit his back, and the whole person was on an upward trend and lost power.
The big yellow hand gently flicked into the sky, and the basketball returned to the sky, and there was no board on the front, and a parabola was directly made up and fell into the basket.
Xiao Si landed and looked back in exasperation, only the back of a huge No. 8 jersey remained.
Yang Di scored again, hitting a rebound under the basket, and also added a frontcourt rebound to himself. Amare Stoudemire was a pitiful and not only lost points, but also rebounds. ”
Barkley ridiculed Xiao Si's poor rebounding ability, he couldn't see it in the regular season, and he was paired with Yang Di in the playoffs, and he didn't know how many frontcourt rebounds he had to lose, and without two people, he couldn't control Yang Di's unruly monster at all.
