After the game, Josh Smith was interviewed with a very frustrated look on his face.
"I don't know why, I can't defend him anyway, he's too difficult to defend, he has super strength, he has a quick turn, his shooting is also very accurate, and the offensive means are too comprehensive."
The Warriors defeated the Hawks 112-93 to celebrate their first home victory.
After two consecutive wins in the opening game, Yang Di's hot state directly ignited the enthusiasm of fans, not only Bay Area and Chinese fans, but also a large number of neutral fans, who care about the daily data dynamics of the NBA.
Yang Di scored 33.5 points and 15.5 rebounds in the two games, ranking second in the league in rebounds, and the first place was Ben Wallace, who grabbed 19 rebounds in the first game, and only played such a game.
At the beginning of the season, even if it was back-to-back, Yang Di and others did not feel tired.
But in terms of schedule, the Warriors will be given time to rest.
Two days later, they host the Utah Jazz.
In this year's draft, the Jazz used the scout to pick out Delon Williams, a point guard from the University of Illinois, who once learned to wrestle and has a strong body and ball control, and won the hearts of Jazz executives when he was on the side of the draft before the draft.
Last year, the Jazz were the second-to-last in the West, and after the absence of Stockton and Malone, veteran coach Jerry Sloan was no longer in his former glory, the pick-and-roll offense was no longer sharp, and the old-fashioned tactics were difficult to adapt to this era that is changing every day.
This year, the team's lineup has been upgraded, with Kirilenko and Deron Williams on the outside, and Boozer and Oku on the inside.
In the first game of the new season, the Jazz defeated the strong rival Mavericks 93-82 at home.
Memet Oku was outstanding, finishing with 27 points and eight rebounds on 10-of-17 shooting and 2-of-2 three-pointers in the opening game of the new season.
It's hard to imagine that when he first entered the league, Oku was just a rookie with the ninth pick in the second round, an underdog, somewhat slow-moving backup center.
Oku's interior line can resist and defend, and before the game against the Warriors, the media was optimistic that the Jazz would beat the Warriors on the road.
Jerry Sloan expressed his appreciation for Yang Di.
'He's a really good player and the most impressive thing is how quickly he's improved, from when he first came into the league to now, he's learned so much and he's put it into practice in his normal game. He's very good at pick-and-roll, he's very good at going down and always finds some opportunities on the court. ”
Jerry Sloan initially felt that Boozer was a replacement for Karl Malone, but now it seems that Yang Di is more like Karl Malone than Boozer, and there are even some things that Malone is not capable of, such as unparalleled frontcourt rushing ability, breakthrough means after dribbling, and low post turning skills.
After two games, the Warriors' home ticket prices skyrocketed, and many fans came from some far away to watch Yang Di's performance.
......
Jazz vs Warriors.
Amid the cheers of the home fans, the Warriors led the Jazz by two points 25-23 in the first quarter.
The Jazz's defense is really good, Boozer and Oku, although the ability to assist in defense is average, but the body is strong, the single defense is very good, plus Kirilenko's super defense ability, the protection of the inside and outside lines is very strong, and the sense of defensive hierarchy is not weaker than that of the Spurs, Yang Di only got 3 points and 4 rebounds in the first quarter.
But in the second quarter, Yang Di ushered in an outburst.
After Yang Di came on the court, he first received a burst from Byron Davis and hit a mid-range jumper. Then he attacked the position, dribbled under the crotch and shook off Boozer, forced a shot under the basket and caused Oku to foul, scored two points and added free throws.
The Jazz were called a timeout by a 5-0 run from Young.
After returning from the timeout, the Jazz immediately adjusted the offensive rhythm, and before the end of 24 seconds, Oku hit a key 3-pointer to help the Jazz stabilize the formation.
Before halftime, the Jazz and Warriors were tied at 48, and Yang Di had 10 points and nine rebounds.
"Tyson Chandler is also hard to handle." In the locker room, Oku and Boozer talk about the Warriors' interior line, and find that the overlooked second core of the Warriors' interior is a very tricky opponent.
"Yes, the movement is fast, the bounce is excellent, the key positions are aggressive, and the reach is outstanding in every way."
"It's an inside line who can play, except that his independent offensive ability is slightly worse than Yang Di's, and all other aspects are exactly the same as Yang Di."
"The Warriors have a strong interior defense and rim protection." Boozer remembered his bounce and arm span, in fact, his defensive awareness is really strong, but thanks to these two most critical talents, even if he has a little ability, he will not be called a man with almost zero help defense.
In fact, the key is that Boozer himself is not very attentive to defense, even if Sloan repeatedly emphasizes that deep down he still wants to cut more points than steals and blocks.
And as the dynamite-carrying bag shot from the back of his head became more accurate, Boozer became even more convinced of that.
In the third quarter of the game, Yang Di played a wonderful performance.
During a fast break for the Warriors, Byron Davis sent a high toss to Yang Di, who reached the ball and caught the basketball to complete the empty catch, igniting the entire Oakland Center Arena.
Yang Di singled Oku in the low post, and after two tops, he turned over and hit a jumper, with a minimalist action, but it became more and more difficult to defend.
Yang Di scored 10 points in the first quarter, and the Warriors led the Jazz by four points 74-70.
In the last quarter of the game, Yang Di rested for 4 minutes.
The second team led by John Salmons was inferior to the Jazz, and the lead was eroded.
The main force filled the hole, Byron Davis broke through head-on and caused Deron Williams to foul, Delon shook his head, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, Sloan quickly replaced this disciple he cherished.
Delon is physically strong and has an excellent passing outlook, and Sloan thinks he'll be the Jazz's backcourt leader for the next decade, and with only two games in the game, it's time to protect his confidence and not just throw him on the court and be abused.
Byron Davis pouted, the classic "welcome to the NBA, rookie" he hasn't had time to say yet!
Young made a layup to re-establish a five-point lead for the Warriors, and the Jazz trailed until the final minute before opting for a foul play.
Dunleavy, who made free throws, hit all the free throws and snuffed out the Jazz's last hope of a comeback.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Jazz 97-90, and Yang Dee scored a game-high 25 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, which is still a big double-double.
The Warriors started with a three-game winning streak and were in frighteningly good form that shocked the entire league.
