Chapter 371: Fate
Davis also failed to shoot, and coincidentally, the rebound bounced a little high, and Youngdy cleverly turned in front of Howard to get a better position and grab the rebound in the frontcourt. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Howard felt that Yang Di was his mortal enemy.
Last year, when he first entered the league, in that game with Yang Di, Yang Di cut 18 points, 17 rebounds and 9 blocks on his head with an exaggerated quasi-triple-double data, especially in the block, he felt that all his offensive actions were seen through by Yang Di and were very restrained.
"What a painful opponent."
"What?" Yang Di heard Howard's muttering, turned his head and asked.
"Ahem, nothing." Howard lowered his center of gravity and spread his feet apart to defend against Yang Di.
Yang Di didn't think about attacking directly, passed the ball outside, and hoisted it high to Danny Granger.
After the Warriors opened up space for the whole team, Danny Granger hoisted the ball in again, at which point Young was stuck in a more comfortable position, receiving the ball and preparing to hit Howard with his back.
Grant Hill lets Ariza go and wraps up Youngdy.
Yang Di made a pass to Chandler in the middle, Chandler received the ball unsteadily, was dropped by Cato, and the basketball rolled on the floor, causing a group of people to grab the ball, and the Warriors made a mistake.
Magic Aggro!
Francis, who was holding the ball, dribbled fast and advanced in a straight line.
Yang Di and others chased behind, and after such a mistake, other people's counterattacks, even if it was a team as fast as the Warriors, no one completely completed the pursuit.
Francis slammed into the basket and scored with Ariza in the air for a layup.
4-4, the two teams were tied.
"After today's opening, the Magic team is in very good shape!" Cai Nan sat in the studio and exclaimed, before the game started, he also predicted that the Warriors, who had rested for a long time, would easily defeat the Magic at home with the Magic, and now it seems that the Magic team is not falling behind at all.
"Davis hit the ground and passed to Yang Di, Yang Di hit the basket, good ball!"
"Good shot, caused a foul on the Magic!"
"This ball should be played like this, Davis's blocking and passing is very good, once Yang Di rushes up, no one in the Magic team can guard him."
Yu Jia and Cai Nan took turns praising Yang Di, and Chinese fans listened to it with relish.
Yang Di walked to the free throw line and gestured to shoot.
The referee watched the people on both sides stand in position and hit the ball to Yang Di.
Outside the three-point line, Davis and Francis chatted.
Byron Davis said with some pride: "I partnered with Yang Di, we reached the playoffs last year, forcing the championship Spurs to almost lose the series, and this year we are even better, ranking first in the league." ”
Francis snorted, and naturally remembered the big man in Houston in his mind, and countered with some disdain: "It's just the credit of Yang Di, a player like Yang Di can grab rebounds, attack, shoot, and have a low post, if I partner with him, I can do this, maybe the Spurs will be chiseled by me last year." ”
"You're defending too badly and you're having too many pass errors, it's not good." Byron Davis retorted to Francis that he would certainly not admit that someone else is a better second-in-command than him.
"Your shooting is so bad, if you had been on time in the playoffs last year, maybe the Spurs would have lost."
"Shooting is not the main thing, organization is the main thing, tearing up the defense, mobilizing teammates, passing the ball has to have a big picture."
"Hehe, so that's why you didn't shake me away for a long time?"
"It's like you've thrown it on my head."
After saying this, Yang Di hit the second free throw, and Francis stepped forward to receive the baseline serve.
NBA players always like to rap trash talk among themselves, and they will talk a bunch of things that don't matter to the game, and when it comes to the game, it is-for-tat and competitive.
In addition to Howard vs. Youngdy, there were also highlights of the game between Francis and Davis.
Howard continued to try to receive the ball in the low post, but Chandler didn't dare to go around the front like a slow-moving center like Yao Ming, and still chose to defend in the low post.
Francis hoisted the ball in and Howard caught the ball with his back to Chandler.
It's not a good choice, when Howard plays low back, the efficiency value is very low, the key is that he has average strength in the lower limbs, and there is no footwork to make up for it, and it is difficult to push those centers who are much taller and heavier than him.
Like Yang Di, he usually chooses the impact from the side, which is between offensive fouls.
Howard didn't hit it twice, and found that he couldn't hit the seemingly thin Chandler, and Yang Di moved his feet again and suddenly wrapped it up, and he could only pass back in the visible field of vision.
The low post offense was announced.
After a few leads, Grant Hill made a pull-up jump shot and missed.
More than 6 minutes into the first quarter, Yang Di received a pass from Byron Davis and rushed through the middle, this time, the Magic's bag tactics did not have time to close, Yang Di held the basketball high and smashed the ball into the basket to get his sixth point of the game.
Such a brilliant dunk blew up the Warriors bench.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that after returning to halftime, Magic Francis and Howard immediately completed high-quality covers, and Francis single-blocked the cover shot, hit a 3-pointer, and immediately returned a shot to Yang Di.
The Magic team is full of morale, and the players have an inexplicable outstanding form.
......
Yang Di went off the game in 10 minutes, playing more than one minute longer than Howard, who had already gone off the court.
In this quarter, he got 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, but unexpectedly, the Warriors were still behind.
Young's replacement was Berdrins, and after a number of Warriors players were injured, these youngsters had more opportunities.
At the same time, Monta Ellis and other outside players also have the right to attack independently, and Montgomery has replaced a lot of rookies to fight against Nelson, Turkoglou, Pat Garrity and others from the Magic.
With the exception of Nelson, who is a little younger, the rest of the Magic are veterans who have been in the league for many years and have a lot more experience on the court than the Warriors.
Monta Ellis was incredibly fast, and it was easy to force a break through Nelson, but the offense lacked variety, and the final layup was outrageous.
However, Berdrins, who has experienced the baptism of the playoffs, performed well, grabbed the frontcourt rebound after coming on the court, and hit the basket under the basket.
Overall, the Warriors' bench is not as good as the Magic, the offense is very strong, the score is constantly pulled away by the Magic team, Montgomery can't stop the decline even when he calls a timeout, and he wants to change the veteran but finds that no one is available. When Yang Di came on the court in the second quarter, he was already 29-41 behind the Magic by 12 points, the first time this season that many points had fallen.
