Chapter 836: Reversing the Situation II
Everyone in the Staples Arena gasped and secretly exclaimed, Yang Di came up to take the lead, a little arrogant.
However, under the replay of this shot, Yang Di's breakthrough and turnaround dunk is really handsome, every action does not seem redundant, the ground is powerful, and the dunk is sound.
Garnett walked forward, his face a little ugly, he had a hunch that this ball should be selected for today's top five balls, and he was going to make the background board again.
The Lakers attacked, and Garnett gathered his mind and returned his attention to the court.
Or gave the ball to Kobe Bryant from the outside, Kobe greeted him, and Garnett also received the ball at the elbow area, but not to single out Yang Di, but to do the axis in the elbow area.
Garnett turned around with the ball and made a hand-to-hand pass to Kobe Bryant, who was spinning around.
The Lakers are typical of the two superstars who drive the rest of their teammates around, and the triangle offense has no third corner, just like the "OK" combination of the year, but it is already rampant in the world.
Fisher also has a bit of possession of the ball, and Radmanovic is a fixed-point battery pitcher.
Kobe Bryant held the ball inside, Garnett turned around, flexibly cut in front of Yang Di, and suddenly retreated outside, taking away Yang Di, the strongest defense of the Warriors.
Garnett is very stable in the middle distance and can't be left unguarded.
Bryant accelerated in a straight line, brushed past Ray Allen, who was defending him, and scored a basket pick-up.
2 to 2, the first core of each side scored points in the way they are good at.
The Warriors attacked, and Yang Di fell to the low post to hold the ball.
The outside line opened up space, and when it was clear, Yang Di was given a one-on-one one-on-one one-on-one with Kevin Garnett.
Kwame Brown originally wanted to come to help defend Yang Di, but Garnett waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to come, he wanted to defend Yang Di one-on-one.
Heads-up is the most common tactic in the NBA, but since the beginning of this year, the Warriors have not used many such tactics.
But in the first game of this away game, Montgomery actually arranged such a rigid tactic, that is, to come up and let Yang Di attack and single-handedly challenge Kevin Garnett, who was the best defender.
Garnett looks a little slender, but definitely not thin, his body is the kind of slender type, but his strength is not bad, and his height and weight are over there, in fact, he is not too much of a disadvantage in the confrontation.
Yang Di's effect of arching him with his back was not particularly good, but after hitting him twice, he still got space to shoot.
Yang Di took his left foot as the axis, and after drawing a big circle with his right foot, he turned over and made a jumper with a large backlash.
The stance of shooting with both legs in front of one behind the other in the air and leaning back is very standard.
Garnett is also a master of backward jumpers, but he does not have such an exaggerated amplitude as Yang Di, Yang Di's shot is a great test of his abdominal core strength, but Yang Di's balance in the air is very good, holding the basketball in his hand and shrinking it for a while, and then lifting it up, gently pulling the ball out.
"Huh!"
The basketball hollowed into the net, and under Garnett's strict defense, it still scored.
4-2, the Warriors opened with two singles from Yang.
Offense and defense transitioned, and the Lakers attacked in the frontcourt.
Kobe Bryant broke through the 45-degree dribble on the side after blocking and dismantling, and immediately encountered the Warriors' encirclement and interception, he did not jump, and broke through to Fisher on the outside.
Fisher shook off Byron Davies, took a step inside and passed to Radmanovic who was 45 degrees open on the left.
Radmanovic catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer!
"Bell!"
Bounce up after missing.
Under the basket, the Lakers and the Warriors grabbed rebounds and squeezed together, Yang Di and Garnett jumped up at the same time, Garnett had an advantage, his height and arm span were better than Yang Di, and he touched the basketball before Yang Di.
But he didn't hold it firm either, and wanted to pick it on his side.
The second time he was stuck, but Danny Granger flew directly to grab the rebound, as if he was desperate.
Granger is also red-eyed, after these two games, Trevor Ariza has played longer than him, and he has the intention of stealing the starter. While he's still in the starting spot because of his long-standing achievements, God knows what Montgomery would think, and he has the right and the courage to replace the Warriors' long-time starter.
It's all just about winning.
Danny Granger's defense is also good, the effect of defending James last year was not bad, but this year to prevent Kobe, players in the NBA face different types of players, there will always be a situation of style restraint, and the effect is different.
The Warriors landed on the ground to fight back, and the Lakers' defense was still fast, and Kobe and Fisher had long given up the frontcourt rebounding competition and fell back to their own half-court defense.
Jandy ran across half court and received a ball from Danny Granger.
This time, the Warriors didn't choose Yang Di's singles in the low post, and Yang Di gave the ball to Byron Davis on the left side at the top of the arc, and then made a hand-to-hand pass to Byron Davis at the top of the arc to cover.
The other three were back and forth in the bottom corner, interspersed with running covers.
Byron didn't see an opportunity for an open spot, so he dribbled and broke through, facing the old fish Fisher, and walked to the basket after a dribble behind his back, and the effect was immediate, and he got the Lakers' bag.
Byron burst out to Yang Di, who took a step inside the three-point line and feint to shoot.
Garnett made a small leap forward, controlled his body at the critical moment, and did not pounce on it significantly.
Yang Di was in this time difference, and suddenly jumped on the spot to shoot, raised his arms high, and raised his hands to shoot.
"Huh!"
The mid-range jumper was hit from a very long distance, not like the shooting area that Yang Di has always liked.
6 to 2, after Yang Di hit the third goal in a row, the fans in the Staples Arena booed Yang Di one after another, I had never seen such an arrogant one, and I didn't have the consciousness of being a guest at all.
The Lakers players felt the pressure brought by Yang Di, in the first two games, although Yang Di also scored high scores, he did not start like this game, so full of firepower, and Yang Di's scores were relatively scattered, scoring 8 points and 9 points in each quarter, which seemed to have no explosive and destructive power at all.
Bryant asked for the ball to single Ray Allen, and the two engaged in a low battle on the right side.
Ray Allen defended very well, resisting Kobe Bryant to prevent Kobe from turning around, after Kobe Bryant knocked Ray Allen away, he turned over and made a jumper, and Ray Allen's right hand was sent to Kobe's eyes, covering his eyes.
Kobe Bryant's jumper missed, and Yang Di picked up the rebound.
The moment Yang Di picked up the rebound, it was like a wind-up machine, and he immediately began to run wildly, turned around and hit the front court, knocked away the veteran Derek Fisher, and reached for a layup.
Because he was leaning on his body, Garnett couldn't cover the back block, and Yang Di hit a layup directly.
8 to 2!
Yang Di came up in a surprisingly good state, and he actually hit all 4 shots and scored 8 points in a row!
