Chapter 712: By the way
Yang Di is not a mockery, he was born like this.
The most embarrassing thing for the Rockets is Maddy, from the era of the Magic scoring champion, he asked to be traded, and then came to the Rockets, at the beginning, the Rockets built a team with him as the core, played for several years and did not enter the playoffs, or were eliminated directly in the playoffs, this year Yao Ming broke out, and the Rockets immediately changed Yao Ming as a well-deserved core, and the record soared all the way, and even entered the Western Finals.
Maddie must have an idea, after all, he is a superstar in the league, and now he is actually going to become the second leader?
The stage of the playoffs is the best time to prove himself, but since the beginning of this year, his performance has been repeatedly inferior to Yao Ming, and now when it comes to the Western Finals, it is still far behind.
When you win, it's fine, but when you lose, all kinds of thoughts fill your mind.
Yao Ming is not without feeling this embarrassing situation, but all along, one of his goals in mind is to win the championship, and the rest of the questions about the status of the team and what is the first core are not big problems in his opinion.
Rocket G1 battle, in fact, after the second quarter, the rhythm is obviously wrong.
As soon as the Warriors find any opportunity, they immediately counterattack, and Yang Di, an epoch-making interior promoter, is still No.1 in the entire league, and Sean Marion of the Suns also has such a function. But even if it is a hacker, the first choice to get a rebound is still to look for Nash.
There is no one like Yang Di, the first time he gets a rebound, he is holding the ball and pushing forward.
Because the Warriors are fast in this round, the Rockets have to play more rounds, and the Rockets players have a feeling that they have to score nearly 100 points even though their team's shooting percentage is not high.
"Super rebounder, super ball handler, and super playmaking ability!"
Yang Di's style of play is the first of its kind in the NBA, based on his many backcourt rebounds every night, and this skill is simply an artifact for the Warriors to upgrade their gears.
"How to defend Yang Di?"
Many experts have begun to discuss this issue, and Yang Di's comprehensiveness has become his most incomprehensible thing, and defending Yang Di has become the most headache for the head coach among all the teams he has played.
.......
After the G1 match, both sides can rest for two days.
The players will not indulge themselves at such a critical time, and without the supervision of head coach Montgomery, everyone consciously abides by the team's rules, is on time, and even comes to the Oracle Arena early for preparation training.
The Warriors' training is still dominated by three-point shooting, breakaways, and fast-break runs.
Montgomery saw the importance of the team's system from the last game, and if he wants to avoid the Rockets Yao Ming and drag down the Rockets' rhythm, he must continue to maintain a high-speed offense and focus on small-ball tactics.
The Warriors split the ball, with Monta Ellis, Ray Allen, Young Di and others each holding the ball, and many points on the court could dominate the ball.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
Inside the Oracle Arena, three points were scored in a row.
Yang Di practiced 500 shots, sat on the sidelines to rest, NBA players train regularly every day, in addition to shooting, he also has 100 triple threat offenses, 100 back-to-back single offenses, and for Yang Di, it is basically all this kind of individual offense.
"Good ball, good ball!"
"Faster, faster!"
On the sidelines, in addition to Montgomery, the voices of several assistant coaches were also very loud, and the training hall had several courts, which were divided into many blocks for training.
The NBA's equipment is also advanced, and Yang Di turned his head to see that rookie Shannon Brown was using a shooting machine to contact with the help of an assistant coach.
After the mid-range shot, the basketball fell into the basket, and then drilled down the net into the shooting machine below, and the shooting machine directly popped the ball out again, and passed it back to Shannon Brown, the young man wiped the sweat on his face, practiced meticulously, although there was a lot of iron, the spirit and attitude are very worthy of recognition.
In addition to Shannon Brown, the Warriors have several players on the roster who need to increase their shooting percentage, including Trevor Ariza and Matt Barnes, two players in the rotation.
"The Warriors are really full of talent, and it's a thriving scene."
Yang Di was resting, a familiar voice came from his ears, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be the agent Bill Duffy.
"Hey, Bill, long time no see!"
Yang Di's eyes lit up, he stood up and shook hands with the agent, and hugged gently.
Yang Di asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Hey, I just wanted to see you, oh my God, I've been so scared lately."
"What's wrong?" Yang Di moved his buttocks to the side and left a place for Bill Duffy, who was still in a straight suit, but he didn't think Yang Di was sweating and sat next to him.
"Nash, Yao Ming, and you are my main players, and it really makes me sweat when I play in the playoffs during this time, and I don't know who to support to win?"
"Haha, what's this, you must support me, after all, I have the highest winning rate." Yang Di laughed, thinking about it carefully, Bill Duffy happens to have three of their superstars, and Carmelo Anthony or something, Yang Di has not encountered in this year's playoffs, what a coincidence.
"I watched all the last game, and if I continue to play like this, the Rockets will lose." Bill Duffy said with a smile.
Yang Di is not modest at all, and he still has a little reservation with the media, and he directly told the truth with people he knew: "The pace of the Rockets is too slow, and now it is not the era of positional offense, we attack no more than 10 seconds in a round, they need 20 seconds, and our shooting rate is almost the same." ”
"It's useless to drag it out for a long time, and with the converted scores, the Rockets lose at this point."
Yang Di felt that the two teams in the positional battle were actually half a catty, but as long as the Warriors took advantage of the opportunity to play a few counterattacks, the score was opened, and the Rockets almost gave up the offensive and defensive conversion, and the fast break score was a total of 5 points in the whole game.
"I'm looking for new rookies, I heard that this year's draft is a very lively draft, and the quality of this year's rookies is recognized as a big year rookie, I hope to select some players to become my players before this draft, of course, I want to get the tone of the Warriors, and then sign with the rookies who signed the Warriors."
"It's a little hard for you, Chris's tone is very tight, and the problem is, even if you know who he's going to pick, it's very fast to get to the draft, it's hard to be picked by the team in front of you, it's hard to have a more favorite high-pick rookie fall, change your original intention, make a deal, and be traded to another team after signing."
Yang Di felt that this was a bit unreliable, but Bill Duffy's preparation was really early, and it was more than a month before the draft began.
"That's it, so I'd like to hear from Chris, and get some of the stuff that the Warriors have right now, you know, your Warriors draft vision is really good."
"What are the documents ready before placing a bet?"
"Almost, it's my job."
Bill Duffy laughed, he was just stopping by to take a look at Yang Di's training.
