Chapter 188: Double Twenty, Defeat the Pioneers!
In the VIP box of the stadium, Chris Mullin was also surprised by Yang Di's wild play, halfway through the first quarter, Yang Di has shown too many valuable skills and court characteristics, compared to the end of last season, he seems more confident. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's really a treasure, the Lakers are stupid forks, they will regret it, and the Heat are too, they are all stupid forks."
Mu Lin muttered to himself, watching Yang Di rampage on the field with appreciative eyes, coming and going freely.
"Good shot!"
The game was broadcast on local San Francisco television, and the host here had a distinct regional stance and was 100 percent in favor of the Warriors.
It's a pity that the Rockets still had back-to-back away games against the Raptors that day, and the imperial court station did not broadcast Yang Di's game, such a wonderful performance, only some Yang Di fans received the message on the Internet, and most people didn't know what kind of performance the starting Yang Di played.
With just over a minute left in the first quarter, Montgomery replaced Young.
When he got off the field, the audience gave a standing ovation again, and Yang Di looked up and could clearly see that several rows of fans close to the stadium were looking at him with such enthusiastic eyes, laughing and shouting at him, which made him feel deeply encouraged in his heart.
He had eight points, eight rebounds and two blocks, and was the best player on the Warriors.
Fisher scored just 2 points on 1-of-3 shooting, Dunleavy scored just 3-pointers, and Richardson scored 6 points on 2-of-6 shooting as the Warriors led the Trail Blazers by four points 25-21.
In the starting lineup, Richardson remained on the court, taking the likes of Edondo Nahura and Culbert Chaney against the Trail Blazers' benches, who had fewer bench rotations, in addition to Van Exel, Darius Myers and Ruben Patterson.
Cheeks is a manager who doesn't like to use new people more than Montgomery.
Foyer, as the Warriors' rotation insider, was signed at a high price this year, without injury troubles, and with a brave aura.
In the final analysis, his and Yang Di's functions overlap, and in the confrontation with the second team of the Trailblazers, he is obviously stronger, but both sides have low shooting percentages, and there is nothing to see on the field.
Montgomery then let Richardson, who was playing with him, take the rest and bring on Fisher to take control.
In the 5th minute of the second quarter, Yang Di also came on the court, replacing Foyer, who had also sent two blocks, and the two high-fived each other to encourage each other.
Later in the quarter, Yang Di didn't play much, and before halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Warriors by 2 points at 43-41.
At halftime, the Warriors fans chose to go to the toilet or buy some energy things, carbonated drinks, etc., and the whole arena seemed a little empty.
"In the second half, it was more self-directed offense." Fisher saw that Yang Di's offensive ability was much stronger than he imagined, so he took the initiative to suggest to Yang Di that when the situation was bad, he could try to attack inside.
Yang Di nodded and listened to the advice of his seniors.
Sure enough, in the slow pace of the game, the shooting rate of both sides was still very low, and the sound of clanging iron was constant, which made Yang Di's rebounds increase rapidly.
At 8 minutes and 11 seconds, Yang Di received Richardson's breakthrough ball.
This is the first time in this game that the two have such a delicate connection, Richardson went to the bottom line and burst into the middle, Yang Di took the ball and held it high, as if he was dunking.
But too far away from the basket, Ratliff and Randolph are both players with amazing width, and Yang Di can't dunk it at all.
He lifted the ball like a defender's throw.
The basketball drew a parabola and plunged headlong into the basket, because it was almost vertically downward, and the white net did not move.
It was his 10th point of the game.
After this ball, the Warriors continued to feed Yang Di, Yang Di made a layup without defense on the left, shook off Ratliff on the left, and hit a layup.
The Warriors overtook the score, and the Trail Blazers called a timeout.
After the timeout, the Trail Blazers arranged a slightly more complicated high-post center strategy, but the position of the flying squirrel was not very good, and after taking the ball, he rushed into the interior and encountered the Warriors' three-man bag, and almost missed.
In the end, Trail Blazers shooting guard Derrick Anderson made a hasty shot with 24 seconds left and missed.
The offense and defense switched, Fisher hit the ground to Murphy, who attracted the Trail Blazers and passed to Yang Di near the baseline, and the Trail Blazers came to fill in the position at this time.
Yang Di made a false movement of shooting, and then stepped on the right side to break through.
"Bang" into Hashem's body, causing him a defensive foul.
At the free throw line, Yang Di, who also had an A-level free throw rating at this time, hit both free throws to help the Warriors establish a 5-point lead. At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors led by six points, 72-66.
By this time, Yang Di had scored 18 points and a game-high 19 rebounds, and he played the entire third quarter.
Montgomery also used Yang Di like this when he saw that he was in good shape, and he was a little worried about whether a young rookie like Yang Di would have low-level mistakes at the decisive moment in the fourth quarter. And subconsciously, the use of some veterans, such as Foyer, Fisher, etc., will obviously be reassuring.
So Yang Di only returned to the court when there were only 3 minutes and 39 seconds left in the final quarter.
"The Trail Blazers and Warriors are really half-hearted teams, and because the tempo is not fast enough, the scoring on both sides is low, and the game is very dull." The TV commentator was very blunt, thinking that although this game was the home court of the Warriors, it was really difficult to guess the outcome of the game.
Yang Di rested for most of the quarter, and his physical strength was maintained very well.
"Smack!" He put his hands together and landed firmly on the ground to grab the 20th rebound of the game.
Then less than two rounds later, after receiving a pass from Derrick Fisher, he took off in the middle and blew up the frame, scoring his 20th point, and Ratliff couldn't dodge, and he was embarrassed when he picked up the ball under the basket, and his face was blue and white.
The audience cheered and celebrated, congratulating Yang Di for hitting a new career record in his first game as a Warriors starter.
At this time, the Warriors also led the Trail Blazers by seven points at 85-78, less than two minutes into the game.
Saying that the Warriors don't have stars, and the Trail Blazers don't have stars, at this critical moment, the most they can do is to leave it to Zach Randolph to solve the problem.
Then Yang Di resolutely wrapped up, Randolph's passing ability was average, and his teammates would also face the Warriors' rotation defense.
The Trail Blazers couldn't close the score after a few rounds and eventually lost the first game of the season 81-87.
All the Bay Area fans stayed until the last minute, and they were very happy with the opening game of the season opener, at least it felt like the tickets were not bought for nothing, and Yang Di's phenomenal performance was impressive.
"It's like we've picked up a beast that makes me forget about Spitdy's excellence, because he's even better......"
