Chapter 636: Fighting Salt Lake City Three
The Salt Lake City Jazz players had a lot of small moves, and Yang Di frowned, they were keen to fight, and the range was extended all the way beyond the three-point line.
Playing a team like this, the physical energy consumed is very staggering.
Montgomery is also an experienced coach, plus the Warriors are still in the lead on the court, the number of players in the rotation is large, and the young Louis Williams is also in the game.
Louis Williams was visibly excited to face Dee Brown, a 1.83-meter point guard who had just been drafted by the Jazz with the 16th pick in the second round last year, but just as agile and incredibly fast.
The two were nimble on the outside, a burst of bullfighting-style dribbling PK, Louis Williams crossed his crotch to the right, shook off a little space and raised his hand to shoot, Dee Brown quickly caught up with the block, failed to cover him.
Louis Williams' shot still had a hint of leaning back, his body drifting in the air, and his shot looked particularly unreliable.
"Huh!"
But the basketball was thrown into it by him, which surprised everyone.
Yang Di and Ray Allen both clapped on the sidelines in unison, as if they had been rehearsed.
Under the pressure of Salt Lake City's defense, Ray Allen's shooting was not very good, and in the first quarter, he scored only 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting, in addition to 2 turnovers.
"Deron Williams has a good big picture, and there's a reason why the Jazz have been strong this season."
Ray Allen nodded, "I seem to have really seen the combination of John Stoke and Karl Malone, and Sloan is also painstakingly putting together a blocking lineup, and his tactical ideas will not be eliminated at any time." ”
"All the tactical cores are inseparable from pick-and-rolls and covers." Yang Di agreed with Ray Allen's opinion.
He looked up, and the live scores of the two teams were playing on the big screen at the scene, and the Jazz were still 2 points ahead of the Warriors at 31-29.
Louis Williams pushed forward with speed and calmly split the ball in the front court, giving power forward David Lee.
Lee is a mid-range receiver, and Paul Millsap, who defends him, is a little shorter than him in the number four position, and is a little away from him, and looks a little wet defensively.
David Lee shot directly and confidently and hit a mid-range jumper.
Paul Millsap is a player who has a somewhat different style from the Jazz, he doesn't have as many small moves on his hands, and although he is physically strong, he is not particularly keen on confrontation at the moment. On the contrary, David Lee, who served as Yang Di's backup in the Warriors, always learned Yang Di's way of playing, rampage, and was keen on hand-to-hand combat under the basket, ball-holding breakthroughs and mid-range jumpers.
What Millsap can really get into Sloan's vision is his excellent rebounding ability, although he is not tall, but Millsap dares to fight on the court, this is his rookie season, averaging less than 20 minutes per game, he can grab 5.2 rebounds per game, of which 2.2 are frontcourt rebounds.
Ronnie Brewer and Millsap were both rookies in '06, and their arrival combined to form the Jazz's full roster and a key factor in the Jazz's rise this season.
The Warriors have used David Lee and Biederins as a bench interior lineman, and the two have matured a lot after these seasons and can contribute a lot of energy on the court.
It's just that in the boos of the energy plan stadium and the tsunami, it is inevitable that the performance is a little unsatisfactory.
Louis Williams, on the other hand, played well and hit jumpers when he took the opportunity, although it looked like his shot options weren't quite reasonable.
"The Warriors' Wonders!"
Sloan muttered to himself, thinking that after injuring Fisher, the Warriors would become more difficult at the point guard position, but they actually found two point guards, or the kind of trendy point guards with a particularly strong desire to attack and non-organization.
The Warriors' bench lineup pulled out a pull-out to overtake the score and force Sloan to call a timeout.
"You're too weak defensively, be harder, be aggressive, don't let these rookies score on your goddamn heads!"
Sloan shouted with a thick neck, and the Jazz players lowered their heads at his scolding.
He's a strict coach and he doesn't like to see his players end up losing games because they don't work hard enough on the field.
The Jazz players clenched their fists silently.
......
Yang Di came on the court and singled young Millsap in the low post.
To his surprise, Millsap looked young, and his figure was not particularly burly, but his torso strength was very good, his feet were fixed on the ground, and his resistance was strong.
"Bang!"
Yang Di hit him for the second time, and Millsap couldn't stand it anymore, and his body retreated.
The Jazz unsurprisingly carried out the pack, Yang Di used his left foot as the axis, and his right foot stepped over and turned to make a shooting motion, and Millsap and Boozer, who was on the defensive guard, jumped together exaggeratedly.
The two of them were ruthless, one after the other crashed into Yang Di's body, and Yang Di's whole person was knocked out of bounds by the two of them.
Before falling, Yang Di did not forget to throw the ball.
The basketball obviously didn't go in, but the two jointly violated Yang Di's shooting cylinder, and the referee blew a foul on the ball no matter how relaxed the requirements.
Yang Di knocked over a photographer, and when he stood up, he deliberately reached out and pulled him up, then patted him on the shoulder and said hello.
"Hey, are you alright, brother?"
"Of course, I don't have much to do." The photographer smiled freely, and it didn't seem like the first time he had been knocked down.
Yang Di walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws.
The Jazz attacked, and Delon dribbled to the frontcourt.
First gave the ball to Ronnie Brewer at the top of the arc, Brewer dribbled to the right side, Boozer came up to block for him, and after the two ran the position, they played the blocking effect, and Boozer was able to go down directly.
But Brewer's pass was a beat slower, and when he passed, Jandy came back and blocked in front of Boozer.
Yang Di has a lot of experience in defending Boozer, with his arms open, one hand in front and one hand behind, as long as Boozer jumps and shoots, Yang Di doesn't mind giving him a big hot pot.
Boozer is also very jealous of Yang Di's defense, Yang Di's ball-holding defense is recognized as the top in the league, even Kobe's backward jumper, Yang Di can cover it head-on, there is really no certainty of strong shooting in front of him, not to mention that his feints have not deceived Yang Di.
Boozer wittily distributed the ball out again, and DeLong took it, broke through directly, and went inside in the middle.
Delong's stride was frequent, cutting in, quickly threatening the basket, and Yang Di stared at him like a beast staring at its prey.
Deron had a chill in his back and changed his layup to a throw.
Flew past Yang Di's defense to the basket, "Bell~"
Hit the hoop and bounce high.
Yang Di stuck everyone on the ground with his arms outstretched, and the Jazz players immediately chose to retreat, leaving only Millsap waiting for an opportunity to rush for a rebound in the frontcourt.
But this rebound was too high, he couldn't grab it, and watched Yang Di raise it high with one hand, close it, and grab the rebound.
