Chapter 814: Attacking Maniac II
Yang Di won the best defensive player for a second consecutive year, and no one has ever done that at this age.
At the age of 24, he has already reaped honors that no one else has received in his entire career, and he is getting happier and happier on the road to legend.
The Hornets couldn't be happier, and although it was the first time in recent years that they had made the playoffs, no one wanted to be born with soy sauce.
This feeling is especially strong when Warriors fans rush to New Orleans with the "Sweep" sign in their hands.
The home team locker room at the New Orleans Arena before the game.
Byron Scott is still cheering on the Hornets at the top of his lungs, and a pre-game boost of morale is essential.
Chris Paul closed his eyes, and before the game began, he regularly recalled the tactics, and the Warriors' tactical analysis was already very thorough.
The entire league is studying the Warriors' tactics, and the Warriors' overall tactics are, to put it bluntly, just three.
One is Byron Davis holding the ball to block the attack, the other is Yang Di with his back to one-on-one, and the player is cutting and running in the air to give Ray Allen tactical cover.
Ray Allen finds space to catch the ball and jumpers.
Since the beginning of this season, the Warriors have a clear division of labor, and after Ray Allen reduced his ball handling, there were no contradictions and problems in the distribution of the ball, and all aspects seemed to have reached a perfect state.
So the Warriors can achieve an impressive 68-14 record.
The strategy to dismantle the Warriors is simple, that is, to defeat Yang Di, as long as Yang Di is suppressed, the Warriors' tactics will fall into the quagmire.
But such a task is undoubtedly too difficult, and Paul can't control it himself, so he can only rely on his teammates.
This feeling of relying on others to play really made him a little uncomfortable, as if he was back to the time when he first entered the league, with all kinds of different challenges.
On the other hand, the atmosphere in the Warriors' locker room is relatively relaxed, not as dignified as the Hornets.
Yang Di joked with a smile: "It's all blown up by young people, and the news says that Chris Paul's strength in all aspects completely surpasses you!" ”
"Humph!" Byron snorted, obviously not very happy that Yang Di said this, but Paul did play a phenomenal performance in front of him, and he was a fierce mess.
"No matter how good Chris is, he is just one person, the Hornets are at the level of eighth, and there is still a big gap between us and us, as long as we ensure normal condition, we can easily beat them." Byron spoke his truest thoughts, full of confidence.
Yang Di was noncommittal, put the jersey on his body, and fastened his shoelaces.
......
Game 3 of the Warriors Hornets took place at New Orleans Arena.
The Hornets wore the white jersey at home, while the Warriors wore the blue jersey.
The Hornets also have blue jerseys, and the Hornets wore yellow one game and blue one game at Oracle Arena, the home of the Warriors.
Every team basically has a tricolor main color, and the style and color of the jersey will not change except for some special holidays.
After two matches, the matchup between the two teams is not as engaging as it was at the beginning.
People pay more attention to the showdown between the Western Rockets and the Jazz, these two teams are really on the tip of the needle to meet Mai Mang, and in the case of similar strength, the battle is half a catty.
Each game is extremely anxious, each game requires both teams to spend mental energy, and the game is more exciting.
After the playoffs, the performance of Yijian United was average, scoring 10 points in one of the two games and only scoring 9 points in the game, and under the defense of Tyson Chandler, there was no style of important scoring points in the team during the regular season.
Returning to the home court, the Chinese who came to cheer in New Orleans all wore the No. 9 jersey and cheered for him.
At the beginning of the third game, it was the Warriors who took the lead.
"Best Defensive Player" Yang Di actively asked for the ball with his back, and the low posts on the left and right sides came to single David West, David West couldn't move Yang Di, Yang Di turned around with his back and made a jumper, and the front turned hook and hit one after another, which was very efficient.
But the Warriors suffered a strong away treatment, not long after the start of the first quarter, Tyson Chandler received a foul, and then Byron and Ray Allen received fouls one after another, and the Hornets did not feel good, but played the most aggressive game since the playoffs, relying on free throws, and led the Warriors 16-13 in the first quarter.
Montgomery saw that there were so many foulers, and quickly made adjustments, and Monta-Ellis, Ariza and others came on the court.
On the defensive end, Warriors players are always whistled for fouls, and with the same physical confrontation, the Hornets will not be whistled for fouls, and the Warriors' offensive rhythm is scattered.
Yang Di wants the ball and continues his singles road, ordinary tactics can't work, and he can only rely on his tough battles.
So Yang Di opened the bow left and right and played the best start since the playoffs, scoring 15 points in a single quarter, shooting 6 of 8, and the shooting rate was extremely high.
The main team of the Hornets basically did not rest much, and players such as Paul and Peja played more than 40 minutes.
After David West received a foul, he was forced to reduce the playing time, and the Hornets' interior line was even more stretched, and Yang Di successively blew up Yi Jian United, Hilton Armstrong, Julian White and other interior lines in the second quarter, and it was useless to replace anyone.
"Huh!"
Yang Di hit a mid-to-long-range jumper from inside the three-point line and hit his final shot of the first half.
At this time, Yang Di alone had already scored 28 points, and the Warriors scored only 51 points, and one person scored more than half of the points.
The Warriors are 51-50 and only have a two-point lead over the Hornets.
Hornets fans lamented the horror of Young, who could do anything to score while the Hornets had nothing they could do.
The weak interior disadvantage is constantly magnified on the stage of the playoffs, and no matter how good Paul is, it is impossible to score and dominate the game like Yang Di.
"Why is he always scoring!"
Fans wondered that Yang Di had performed better on the road than at home every time.
In the third quarter, Yang Di still continued the feeling of the first half, first breaking through to hit a layup, and then after receiving the ball inside, he directly squeezed David West and threw it away.
Yi Jianlian's defense is much more than in the first half, and it seems that Byron Scott is also worried about whether Yang Di will directly surpass God if he keeps playing like this.
In the second half of the third quarter, Byron Davis improved and scored five straight points to stop the Hornets.
Yang Di alone can lead the Warriors to let the Hornets chase after him, and as soon as Byron starts, this game is instantly dragged into the rhythm of the Warriors, and the referees will occasionally find a balance in the blowing.
After the second half, the Hornets quickly lost their strongest motivation to chase points.
Paul didn't have as hot as the previous two games, and if it weren't for Peja's ability to give a little three-point firepower, it might have been spent in less than three quarters.
Even so, the Warriors still led 77-70 after three quarters.
