Chapter 625: Point Guard Mission Four
Denver, Hornets vs. Nuggets.
Chris Paul, who averaged 17.3 points, 8.9 assists and 1.8 steals per game in his second year of career, kept the Hornets' offense organized.
The game has entered the fourth quarter, and there are many fans in Denver who came to watch the game.
It is undeniable that Iverson's arrival has stimulated the entire Denver ball market, and the combination of the old and new generations of scoring masters is also eye-catching enough.
And the Hornets are still outside the top eight, ranking around eleven or twelfth in the West.
Yi Jianlian has become an important substitute for the Hornets, the Hornets mainly play a small lineup, and sometimes let Yi Jianlian and West partner together, both of them are extremely physical, can shoot and jump, and half of Paul's assists are given to both of them.
West has gone one step further this season, averaging 18.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.
Yi Jianlian surpassed Aldridge in December to win the title of Western Conference Rookie of the Month, and his points per game average rose to double digits.
By March, Yi Jianlian had averaged 11.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, and on the rookie list, behind Roy, Aldridge, Gay, and Bagyani, he surpassed Randy Foye, Adam Morrison, Tyrus Thomas and other high-pick rookies, which surprised the American media.
Wang Zhizhi returned to China, Battle also left the NBA, and among the remaining four players, Sun Yue was still on the fringes of the team, but Yi Jianlian also showed a lot of potential and talent, which made the NBA re-evaluate the ability of Chinese players.
Just like these international players from Argentina and Spain, they have become the object of pursuit by many teams.
Paul also likes to partner with Yi Jianlian, although Yi Jianlian's defense is still very bad and his physique is a little thin, but he has a strong ability to cut and receive in the air, and he also has a one-handed shooting ability on the outside, and he trains actively, never has a scandal, and conscientiously completes the tasks assigned by the coach.
The Hornets are ready to continue to look at Yi Jianlian's ability in the future, and at most next year, they will definitely adjust him to the starting lineup.
It's just that overlapping with David West's position is a big problem, and head coach Scott racks his brains to start a new tactical coordination model.
......
The game between Auburn Hills Palace, Warriors and Pistons is heating up.
Yang Di scored 31 points and 10 rebounds in the third quarter to lead the Warriors to take the lead, but the Pistons chased after them and were always able to score in various ways, and as soon as the fourth quarter came up, the score was chased to 81-83, only 2 points behind the Warriors.
Yang Di, of course, was anxious, and attacked the inside, causing McDyce to foul, and then made consecutive free throws.
With Yang Di's free throws, the Warriors always maintained a 3 to 5-point lead, and the two sides did their best to fight each other.
Affected by the physical strength of the Warriors, the fourth quarter was obviously a little powerless, many shots failed to hit, and they hit the front line one after another, and Yang Di, like no one, frantically grabbed the board and scored points, supporting the Warriors.
The fans of the Auburn Hills Palace were dumbfounded, Yang Di was like the king of the jungle, rushing left and right, scoring continuously, and the Pistons did not have his one-in-one general.
At this time, head coach Philip Saunders remembered Big Ben and remembered Rasheed Wallace.
Wallace has to rest for a few days due to injury, it's a shame that Big Ben is leaving, the Pistons have obviously become two teams, last season, the Pistons were the team with the best record in the league, and they only lost 17 games in the whole season!
The camera focuses on Yang Di, who raises the basketball and takes two deep breaths.
He puffed up his chest, then exhaled, flicked the ball with both hands, and threw it into the basket.
"The free throw is hit again!"
TNT's host shouted, "Yang Di is simply a bug, how can an interior player have such a free throw shooting rate, 81 percent or 82 percent?" If Shaquille O'Neal had that kind of free throw percentage, he could have won at least five championships so far in his career. ”
Yang Di trotted back quickly, flanked by Warriors players who spread out in turn.
Billups deeply felt that Yang Di was tricky, and he broke through the entire Pistons defense alone, Webb, McDyce, and Mark Hill all had multiple fouls on their backs, except for fouls, there was almost no way to limit his offense, and even if he was fouled, Yang Di went to the free throw line and hit it continuously.
This kind of player is called unsolvable, if Big Ben is still there......
Billups can't help but miss the original Pistons interior line, Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace are the two most dynamic interior lines in the league, and they can resist and assist defense, where can Yang Di cut points so comfortably.
It's a pity that now things are wrong, Dumas doesn't believe that Big Ben still has the original deterrent power, and the Pistons Five Tigers are no longer complete without one person.
Young Mark Hill is still a long way from Big Ben, and in front of Yang Di, who has no matchless strength, he is as fragile as a chicken.
"Bang!"
Yang Di knocked away Mark Hill, who had committed four crimes, with one arm in the sky, and the frame was violently buckled.
He scored his 40th game as the Warriors led the Pistons by five points at 97-92.
As the clock ticked by, Billups missed a three-pointer from the outside, and Ray Allen hit a mid-range pullup jumper, and the Warriors took the opportunity to extend the score further.
In the last 2 minutes and 27 seconds, the Warriors led the Pistons by nearly 8 points 104-96, and it was only at this time that the decline of the Pistons was seen.
The Warriors players perked up, the exhaustion in their bodies seemed to be swept away, and the strength surged back into their hearts.
After a game, it can be said that Yang Di dragged the rhythm to the end alone, and he always scored at the most critical time to keep the lead for the Warriors, otherwise the situation might have been completely different.
Yang Di let out a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Ray Allen, and Ray Allen also looked over, the two looked at each other and smiled, stretched out their hands and high-fived them to celebrate.
"After these back-to-back games, the schedule will be easier after that." Ray Allen laughed.
Yang Di also smiled and nodded: "Hell, I miss the scenery of the West Coast a little bit, March is the season of spring flowers." ”
"Toot ~"
The red light comes on and the game is over.
Yang Di stood up, and in the last tens of seconds, he went to rest.
The Warriors defeated the Pistons 107-101, and in the Eastern away game, they actually won back-to-back victories, and what is even more rare is that in back-to-back battles, Yang Di actually fiercely scored a game-high 40 points, and he has also become one of the few players who can cut 40+ in the palace of Auburn Hills in recent years.
Yang Di smiled and applauded, and a pleasant electronic synthesized sound sounded in his ears.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the Legendary Point Guard mission, and the mission reward is being ......."
