Chapter 595: The Peak (I)
"Stuck in position!"
Larry Hughes was a little upset, which was very demoralizing for the Cavaliers.
LeBron James patted Goodon on the back and encouraged: "It's okay, you have to be careful of that guy, his power is too strong, once he has space to stand, the rebounding competition will become dangerous." ”
The audience stood up and cheered, Yang Di's performance of grabbing frontcourt rebounds has been relatively rare this season, but they still remember the young rebounding monster, a stable rebound like a machine, erupted, a flood beast, fiercely as if it could tear any enemy apart.
In front of him, the rebound will always feel like a bag.
The knights attacked, and James collected his mind and his eyes became determined.
He believes that Yang Di is the strongest opponent in his career, and at the same time, he is also eager to beat him in the competition, and the sense of accomplishment he gets after every defeat of Yang Di is very strong.
Snow dribbled past half court and James began to ambush on the flank.
After a teammate made a block, he went to the top of the arc, and then Snow passed the ball back very neatly, and James attacked at the top of the arc with the ball.
The Cavaliers are a recognized single-core team, and there is no one on the team who can be called a star other than James, and even Ilgoskas is only a starter who is considered slightly better. The rest of Snow and Larry Hughes, with shrunken numbers, feel like they're past their prime.
Although Mike Brown is the coach of the Cavaliers, he gives James great power on the court, and James can call a timeout, arrange his tactics, or fire indefinitely, and play at will.
At this point, he is more free than Yang Di, and Yang Di has no chance to arrange tactics.
After James held the ball at the top of the arc, Danny Granger closed in on him.
Granger is very focused, although in the Warriors, he has been honed his defensive skills since entering the league, and has made some progress, but to really face the top five players in the league's scoring list, he still has no bottom in his heart, just thinking about not losing his position and not being easily scored.
James didn't want to block and pick-and-roll, and after standing still, he held the ball with three threats.
All eyes were on James, and the little emperor tiptoed his right foot, testing Granger's defensive center of gravity and reactions.
Then he quickly stepped out of the right foot, and the speed of the heavy tank exploded first-class.
Granger reacted and confronted him head-on.
"Bang!"
The strong body slammed into Granger's body, and Granger only felt a force beyond his resistance coming, knocking his whole person away from his intended shape, and the defensive position was forcibly interrupted.
At this time, he can use the foul option to prevent James from breaking through, but Granger hesitated, if he fouls at this time, it is estimated that he will not be able to play half of the first quarter, and the whole game will not have a long chance to perform.
James stepped out with his left foot to the right, and the second step sped away, holding his breath and squeezing a path with his body.
His breakthrough was the same as Yang Di's, starting a little faster than Yang Di, and the same vigorous and impactful force that the Warriors reluctantly shrank the defense.
Yang Di was the first to take the lead in Gooden and defend James.
James made three steps to the basket, the first step just stepped out, found the opportunity, flicked one hand, and passed the ball horizontally to Gooden, who moved outside the paint area, and Gooden received the ball.
Granger pounced on the defense in a misplaced position, and Gooden made a jumper.
Yang Di reflexively stepped in, spread his arms, and first stuck in the position of the master James.
James bent his arm against Yang Di's back, quietly exerting all the strength of his body.
As a result, Yang Di stood firmly in place, as if he had taken root, not moving at all, and James's whole body strength could not push Yang Di, who was standing firm at this time.
"It's so powerful."
Legend has it that Yang Di's bench press also reached 200 kilograms, and James thought to himself that this was the case, that it was ten kilograms heavier than him, and it was stronger than him.
The rebound bounced, Yang Di took a diagonal step, flew up and took off, his fourth rebound.
In less than a minute of the opening game, he had already grabbed 4 rebounds, and the rebounding efficiency was so amazing, was he ready to get a double-double in the first quarter?
James didn't rush back to the defense, standing in place and harassing Yang Di dribbling.
Yang Di will not be simply harassed by James and can't dribble the ball, but after pulling away, he lost the best opportunity to counterattack.
After a crotch drop, Yang Di held the ball in his left hand and then advanced across the halfcourt.
The Warriors have a strange phenomenon that is rare in the league, as an interior lineman, once Yang Di grabs a backcourt rebound, he sometimes dribbles through the half court, and he does at least half of the work of a point guard.
After half-time, Yang Di distributed the ball to Fisher.
Fisher was able to hold the ball three and threatened, he raised his arms and spun in circles.
Yang Di walked around the line of the paint area, walked the baseline, almost from the off-court run outside the baseline, and then fell to the left low post, the Warriors shooters did not run out of space, Fisher handed the ball to Yang Di in the low post.
At this time, the space of the lineup is very open, and at 45 degrees on the right side, Ray Allen is ambushed, and he can move to the top of the arc at any time to meet Yang Di, who is about to launch a low attack.
Fisher is on the left.
Yang Di held the basketball high, his heels raised, and he arched himself.
Gooden is under a lot of pressure, and his center of gravity is lowered, Yang Di, how to defend?
When he was guessing how Yang Di would attack, Yang Di took a step back with his left foot, his heel hit the ground, and the center of gravity of the whole person sank.
"Bang!"
It hit him in the chest, and Gooden, who was holding his breath, rang in his ears, and was knocked out in an instant.
Although he has a bald head and a burly figure, his strength can only be regarded as average, and he is not good at defense, so he suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation.
Yang Di was a little strange, he felt that the person behind him seemed to be deformed.
Yang Di would not let go of such a good opportunity, turned head-on, held the ball in his right hand, and broke through to the middle.
Compared with James's breakthrough moves, the road is the same.
Both of them are 22 years old and 23 years old, they are in their prime, and their physical playing style is the same.
A little to the right at the top of the arc, Ray Allen catches the ball and makes a jumper and hits a three-point shot.
After Yang Di was trained by Iguodala, he was more comfortable assisting his teammates, and Ray Allen pointed at Yang Di and signaled that he had made a good pass.
"Strange, how does it feel, he seems to be passing more and more accurately, receiving the ball in the chest position, is his favorite catch-and-shoot rhythm."
For a pitcher, finding the rhythm is more important than finding the feel.
Because the feel is sealed in their muscle memory, and rhythm is the best way to open up muscle memory.
Yang Di smiled, nodded, and pointed back at Ray Allen.
The way the two greet and celebrate is more common in the NBA.
