Chapter 473: No Solution to No Solution (Part II)
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Yang Di stepped back and high-fived Danny Granger to give him encouragement.
"Just guard against the Mavericks' ball."
Yang Di motioned for everyone to cheer up, and then when the head fell into position, Yang Di's arm was opened, and almost all the frontal space was blocked.
Terry observed the situation on the court and was very clear about the Warriors' defensive strengths.
"Inside the third tactic!"
Terry still wants to start from the tactical level, after all, the Mavericks played a good tactical combination in the first ball.
This time, the tactics started from the flanks, and after Terry moved to the flank, he handed the ball to Dampier who was standing in the elbow area.
On the weak side, Nowitzki and Josh Howard and Devin Harris shared the pick-and-roll screen.
After all sorts of cover, Harris and Josh Howard went inside, while Nowitzki dropped out, to near 45 degrees from the three-point line.
Terry crossed the ball, Nowitzki received the ball and faced Yang Di head-on.
Pull it up and throw a three-pointer.
Yang Di's defensive attention was so focused that after judging that Nowitzki was going to shoot three points, he immediately jumped up to defend, stretching out his long arms to cover the sky.
Nowitzki's shot was heavily disrupted, but the hand shape of the shot remained the same, and the curvature of the basketball was still excellent.
"Bell!"
The angle of the drop is very small, and after hitting the basket, it bounces, and it feels like it is only a little bit close, and the ball can be thrown.
Yang Di was scared out of a cold sweat, thinking that if he defended a little slower and a half beat this ball, Nowitzki's shooting would definitely feel better, and this ball would definitely go in.
Nowitzki secretly felt that it was a pity, but if he didn't score, he couldn't score, and the most important thing on the basketball court was always the next shot.
Warriors attack.
Yang Di receives the ball in the low post, and compared to the Mavericks, the Warriors are relatively simple.
After Yang Di stuck his back, he hunched his waist to test Nowitzki's defensive pressure, his toes hit the ground to exert force, and his body gradually pushed back, Nowitzki felt Yang Di's terrible strength, and his arm moved back a little bit.
Everyone opened up the space, Yang Di held the ball high with both hands, and then put it at chest level.
Suddenly, he turned abruptly.
"Want to turn around?" Nowitzki let out a loud shout and stepped out with his left foot, not giving Yang Di the slightest space to break through.
Yang Di's knees were bent, his calf muscles were tense, his right hand controlled the ball, and his body turned back against the laws of physical movement, his right hand was replaced by a left hand to control the ball, his right foot was the axis, and his left foot turned around and stepped on the floor, turning over and jumping like a catapult.
"Bang!"
"Huh!"
Yang Di hit the board into the frame, Nowitzki was shaken and his center of gravity was unstable, and he watched Yang Di throw the ball in.
"Beautiful!"
Hosts all over the world of the broadcast have praised Yang Di's low-post movements are now more and more sharp, and the movements are practical and good-looking, there are no superfluous fancy movements, but they can also make picturesque pictures, especially when the defensive players cooperate, it is like a textbook performance.
Yang Di's low position was figured out by himself, his footsteps were learned from Olajuwon, coupled with Yao Ming's back turn, and after Hardaway's dribbling action, the connection action was not muddy at all, and slowly formed his own style.
Nowitzki felt that Yang Di's low-post movements were like Maddie, the speed was ridiculously fast, and he looked like a 2.08-meter big forward.
4-4, the two sides are still drawn.
Fans like to see the situation of the star heads-up, Yang Di is full of aggression as soon as he comes up, and he has scored 4 points on 2-of-2 shooting.
The Mavericks consciously stepped up their defense against Yang Dee.
So when the Warriors attacked, the other players stepped up a little more aggressively, with Byron Davis going straight to the basket and Tyson Chandler making a second pass to the basket and dunking.
Subsequently, the Mavericks were not to be outdone, and Terry made his first shot of the game, with the help of Dampier's blocking, shook off Fisher and hit a long-range two-point jumper.
Compared to the Warriors, the Mavericks are like a jump shot team, the whole team style is like this, except for Devin Harris, there are no players who really want to break through to the basket, although Terry is known as a jet, but in the past two years, he has gradually dominated the outside jumper, and the offensive means have undergone some changes.
The star of the house, Nowitzki, 7 minutes and 11 seconds, faced Yang Di's defense.
In the low post, Yang Di jumped up on the floor, but Nowitzki's leaning was so exaggerated that he couldn't cover his face.
Nowitzki straightened his waist and abdomen, dodged Yang Di's block, and made a difficult shot.
"Huh"
Basketball passes through, this kind of shooting is one of the few skills that Yang Di has no way to defend, and what Yang Di can do is only a stronger sense of rhythm destruction than ordinary players, with little effect.
Fortunately, Yang Di also has his own unique offensive methods, and Nowitzki can't prevent Yang Di.
"Dirk Nowitzki is the kind of player who eats all the tricks, and since he entered the league, he has been known for his seven-foot jump shot, and his shooting consistency is so strong that even if the lower half of his body is twisted again, the upper body can still remain the same, and he has trained himself into a scoring machine day after day."
There are also people who don't like Nowitzki's way of playing basketball, saying that his shooting offense is too high, and the overall style looks too soft, which is not conducive to the team's overall ability to play tough games.
Yang Di doesn't think there's a problem with Nowitzki, that's Novitzki's style, and it proves that he can survive and achieve results in the league.
After the long timeout, players from both sides returned to the field without any line-up rotation.
After all, the number of fouls committed by both teams is very low, and until the first quarter, both sides have committed one foul each.
Yang Di thought that this would not work, and the Mavericks kept dragging it, and at the last moment, the Mavericks' home-court advantage was likely to become the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.
Yang Di took the initiative to strengthen his personal attack.
He hadn't continued to score after scoring four points from the start of the first quarter.
In the low post, Yang Di faced Nowitzki.
The German was meticulous behind Yang Di and had a very good defensive enthusiasm and attitude.
If Nowitzki had more ability in other areas, such as bounce, defensive awareness, and timing, Nowitzki would have been able to enter the S+ level during the regular season, and the team would have been stronger.
Now, Nowitzki, who has gained weight, is not afraid of confrontation, fights with Yang Di, and is eager to suppress him.
"Bang!"
The overwhelming force collided, Yang Di and Nowitzki jumped a small step at the same time, landed, Yang Di turned around, stepped on the floor, and turned over and jumped.
Nowitzki gritted his teeth and pounced, his long arm interfering with Jandy's shot.
"Bell!"
Yang Di misses the shot, and the rebound is protected by Dampier.
Nowitzki wiped his sweat and secretly called luck, Yang Di's low-post singles were really terrible, and the moment he turned around, he was almost out of breath, and his requirements for defense were too high.
