Chapter 675: Thorn Two
The guard skills of the big forward's height and weight, and the super rhythm brought by excellent foot movement.
This year, Yang Di has integrated what he has learned before, as for any passing skills, the overall situation, etc., it is an embellishment in his attacking ability, his goal is not to become the most versatile player, but to become the most inexplicable player.
The Spurs have nothing to do with him, and it is completely different from the meeting two years ago.
Duncan was full of emotion in his heart, Yang Di's progress was too fast, the 23-year-old Yang Di was definitely stronger than his age, and the main direction of attack of the two was different.
Duncan is good at single defense, stable scoring, and rebounding control, while Yang Di is good at rushing for rebounds, assisting defense and individual ball-holding offense.
On the tactical level of the team, the players on both sides are already very clear, and there are not too many adjustments, just to see if they can throw the ball in or defend the opponent.
After Yang Di scored the first goal, Parker hit a mid-range jumper to complete the response.
The Spurs continued to attack, and with the cheers of the fans in the whole stadium, they started the game 10-5.
After the first forced timeout, Yang Di assisted Ray Allen on a three-point shot, and the two high-fived in celebration, and the Warriors trailed by just two points at 8-10.
In the ensuing offense, both sides did not shoot well, and Duncan only scored 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting in the first quarter.
Yang Di scored 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting, and the two sides entered the bench rotation.
......
The game between the Raptors and the Nets has entered a critical stage.
With the Nets leading the Raptors 90-89, Vince Carter gasped for breath as he desperately wanted to win the series against his old club.
With 47.8 seconds, the Nets attacked.
Carter came out and had an open opportunity at the same time as Jefferson, and Kidd didn't think twice and gave the ball to Vince Carter first.
According to head coach Lawrence Frank's tactical arrangement, this time the offense should take a more stable breakthrough into the interior, after all, the Nets are leading at this time.
But after Carter received the ball, the ghost jumped up directly, with an elegant posture in the air, raising his arms like a noble swan.
Anthony Parker, a veteran defender who defended him, struggled to stretch out his arm and found that the two were getting farther and farther apart.
Carter took a three-point shot from a back, and the basketball arced very high, flying straight to the ceiling, as if it was about to fly beyond the top of the arena.
Everyone in New Jersey stood up, folded their hands, and watched the basketball in silence.
The basketball spins and the aerial track is flawless.
And then.
Get on the net!
"Huh!"
The fans cheered and shouted Vince Carter's name!
"This is Vince Carter, a lore king!"
"No one can beat us in this land, he is the new king of New Jersey!"
Then, the Nets, who had the lead, made free throws from the following Raptors' foul tactics and successfully won the difficult sixth game, dragging the series into a tiebreaker.
......
The Spurs' home stadium was full of people.
The first-half rivalry between the Warriors and the Spurs has come to a fever pitch, with Youngdy returning to the court and hitting a mid-range jumper, and today he felt good at the elbow zone on both sides, hitting several shots to give the Warriors a three-point lead.
After Ginobili hit a three-pointer, the two sides were tied at 34.
At this time, the news of the Nets' victory came, and two of the remaining three groups of matchups in the first round have entered the tie-break, and everyone wants to know whether the next Spurs and Warriors will also enter such a path.
The Spurs players are in good shape, and in the playoffs, veterans such as Finley have played well.
If it weren't for the first round meeting the Warriors, the Spurs' strength might have broken through to the second round, but now, they are in a dilemma.
On the one hand, Yang Di's offense brought great trouble to the Spurs, and the defensive energy spent on Yang Di became the main theme of the entire series. On the other hand, the Warriors blossomed more, and under the leadership of Jandy, Ray Allen, Danny Granger, including Monta Ellis, Derrick Fisher and others, all shot good three-pointers in the series.
Previously, the NBA never said that the three-point shot could kill the game, and now, the Spurs have suffered a big loss in this regard.
In a fast-paced situation, the three-point shot not only helps the team score quickly, but also helps Yang Di and Tyson Chandler rush to the front court for rebounds.
Yang Di rebounded less than half the court, easily exceeding 10.
After the rebound in the front court, Yang Di caused the fouls of Elson and Duncan, and at halftime, he had a double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds.
The Warriors led the Spurs by nine points at 57-48.
The Spurs were in crisis, and the atmosphere in the locker room was heavy at halftime.
Popovich was also silent, Duncan was silent, Parker was silent, Ginobili was silent, and the team was silent as they always were.
Bruce Bowen hated hammering the stool.
He is also very helpless, Yang Di is not his defense, several times out of position to assist in defense, but was hit by Yang Di and couldn't find the direction, small actions may be more effective for outside players of the same height and weight, but for this kind of monster that is completely crushed by the body, it has basically lost its effectiveness, and he is also very powerless, and he can't find a chance to step on his feet.
"We have to continue to put more defensive pressure on the ball carriers."
Popovich cleared his throat and reminded all Spurs players, "The Warriors' offensive initiation point may be Yang Di, but Yang Di needs to pass the ball from the outside, unless he starts the three-threat offense from the three-point line." We strengthened the blockade of the outside players, so that they could not easily receive the ball for Yang Di, and Yang Di would wrap up when he received the ball, and he would separate the pass. Pay attention, the places on both sides are where Yang Di divides the ball the most, and it is also the place where he has the best vision......."
Yang Di has an excellent passing skill, and the bag is not a good strategy, and Popovich is completely helpless.
After the start of the second half, Parker, Finley and others strengthened the defensive pressure on Fisher, who relied on strong strength to firmly control the ball and ensure that there were no mistakes.
Fisher then handed the ball to Ray Allen, who also had some organizational skills, and after easily taking the scepter, he beckoned Yang Di and began to prepare to deliver cannonballs to Yang Di.
Yang Di faked the pick-and-roll and went straight down, and Duncan and Finley's top grabs gave Ray Allen a chance to give Yang Di a direct share.
The moment Yang Di received the ball, a black shadow pounced, he subconsciously protected the ball first, bent down to avoid the pounce, and then turned his back in.
"Bang!"
Elson was knocked back by Yang Di, and the gap in the defense was wide open.
Duncan and the others knew that they were out of position, and rushed in to shrink the defensive line.
Yang Di, who had his back to him, didn't look at people, grabbed the ball with his left hand, hit the ground angrily, and threw the ball directly from the bottom line.
On the other side, Tyson Chandler received the ball straight up and dunked heavily under the basket.
59-48, the Warriors' lead extends to double digits!
