Chapter 564: Balance of Power (3)
In the second quarter, Kobe Bryant's hand dropped, and the Warriors' shooting percentage was not high.
Odom surprised Yang Di by hitting a 3-pointer in a hurry, after all, 3-pointers are the only skill he doesn't have at all now.
Ray Allen received a three-pointer from Byron Davis and hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the Warriors outscored the Lakers by two points at halftime, 53-51.
Although the two teams are considered to be one strong and one weak, the difference in points in the field is not too different.
The Lakers and Warriors are almost evenly matched.
Monta Ellis made a turnaround pullup layup after that lightning pass, and then missed a mid-range jumper or a rollover shot after receiving the ball.
Yang Di had 13 points and 6 rebounds in the half, and there was nothing too surprising in the statistics.
"In the other two games today, the Mavericks beat the Suns, and the Bulls beat the Heat."
"Wild victory?" Yang Di turned his head sideways and asked in a surprised tone.
"The Bulls beat the Heat by 42 points 108-66, is it a wild victory?" Derek Fisher and Yang Di said, also a little incredulous.
"So powerful? Did Wade and O'Neal not play? ”
"No, it's all on the court, the Heat has a complete lineup, following the lineup that reached the Finals last season, but they lost to the Heat by 30 points at halftime, 30-60, and the entire second half was almost garbage time."
"......" Yang Di spread his hands, feeling that the Heat would not lose like this, what is wrong.
"Didn't the Bulls bring in Big Ben in the offseason? Now, with Big Ben plus Hinrich and Richardson, the Bulls have also shouted the slogan of winning the championship and are known as the Big Three. Ray Allen came over and chatted with Yang Di and Lao Yu.
"The league is now rising the trend of the Big Three, and any team dares to call it the Big Three, and the slogan is to win the championship." Byron Davis said disdainfully, implying that only a strong team like the Warriors can be called the Big Three.
"Shaquille O'Neal shot 3-of-10 and had just seven points and five rebounds." Ray Allen took out his phone to surf the Internet and looked through the data of the Heat game just now.
"So miserable? How long has it been? Yang Di was taken aback, in the finals last year, although O'Neal played very average, he still had the aftermath of the inner hegemon, how could he regress like this as soon as the new season came.
"26 minutes." Ray Allen and Derek Fisher looked at each other, both of whom had experienced O'Neal's peak winning period, but they didn't expect that after only a few years, O'Neal would have a significant decline.
Yang Di still remembers that two years ago, when he left the Heat, the Heat traded him and some other people to O'Neal, and the whole Miami fell into a crazy scene, as if to welcome their savior, and now the feng shui is turning, the 34-year-old O'Neal is out of his prime, and he is about to enter the peak of his career.
"Wade is doing well, the key is that the Bulls' rebounding protection is too good, Hinrich and Richardson are both very accurate, Hinrich scored 26 points, Richardson also scored 22 points, and the Bulls' two young backcourts are really good." Ray Allen said with a smile.
"Jason Richardson~" Derek Fisher and Yang Di looked at each other, slightly embarrassed.
"It's on, let's stop talking." Yang Di stood up, everyone was almost rested, and they all got up from their chairs, and then Yang Di pushed open the door and took the lead and walked out.
Fans on both sides of the lanes of Oracle Arena stretched out their hands, and Yang Di raised his hand to high-five them.
At halftime, many fans went out to buy food and drinks, and the Warriors prepared some traditional NBA halftime programs, such as acrobatic dunk performances, singing, dancing and so on.
Odom stands on the baseline, ready to tee off.
"Toot ~"
The second half of the game officially began.
Smush Parker dribbles forward.
Smush Parker is 1.93 meters tall and is also a player from the street, he logged into the NBA in 02, and has been on various teams over the years, but he didn't expect to play relatively good data in the Lakers last season, averaging 11.5 points per game and 3.7 assists, 1.7 steals, and shooting 44.7 percent from the field and 36.6 percent from three-point range.
Kobe didn't ask for the ball, and Smush Parker raised his arm to command, and young Andrew Bynum walked out honestly and made a pick-and-roll for Smush Parker.
Parker used the pick-and-roll to shake off Byron Davis, and then played a beautiful forward change of direction in front of Tyson Chandler's approaching defense.
Sending the ball with his right hand, he chased it nimbly.
Yang Di moved laterally, seizing the time to make up for the defense on the route of Parker's breakthrough, Parker wanted to move to the weak side, but he faintly fell into the pressure of Yang Di's defensive range.
Chandler, who turned back, also blocked his pass.
At this time, the passer with personal ability can find the passing route and divide the ball.
But Parker is not, Parker is hard-headed, strolling and gliding in the air like a ladder, Yang Di stretched out his straight arms, raised them high, and his eyes widened angrily.
"Smack!"
The big hand slapped the basketball, Yang Di landed, and Smush flew out of the bottom line.
"It's too big, Smush Parker's layup is too simple, it's not considered." The local media in Los Angeles shook their heads and sent Yang Di a capped data for nothing.
Kobe Bryant didn't speak, but his face turned slightly blue, not about throwing the ball, but about this brainless cover, which hurt the team's morale.
After re-serving, Bryant asked for the ball from the outside.
Then facing Ray Allen, he stepped out on the right side and broke through to the right, threw off half of Ray Allen's body in two steps, stepped on the ground with his right foot, twisted his waist and turned around, suddenly turned in the air, and raised his hands to shoot.
In order to maintain balance, the feet are lifted forward and backward, and the waist pole exerts force, and there is a slight pause in the air.
Under the tight defense of Ray Allen, the ball was thrown.
"Bell!"
The posture was still beautiful, but the ball was not thrown, and Yang Di's eyes lit up, stuck Odom behind him, and then jumped up and grabbed the rebound in the air.
Kobe Bryant's face was even more unsightly, he felt good and had a good rhythm in this ball, but he couldn't shoot.
Yang Di, who grabbed the basketball, quickly advanced, like a heavy truck.
The Lakers' defensive formation was very chaotic, Yang Di changed direction while traveling, Odom was dizzy, his head turned around, but the center of gravity of his body could not be adjusted, Yang Di leaned over to accelerate, and a dragon rushed to the basket.
Last summer, the Lakers lost Caron Butler, and now the disadvantage is apparent, the small forward position can only let Luke Wharton as the starter, although the white player has a great dad, his own strength is ordinary, and the defense of a super forward like Yang Di is weak.
Yang Di didn't even bother to change direction, and was ready to fly directly.
Luke Wharton was so frightened that he quickly covered the key point with his hands and stood outside the box and made an appearance of causing an offensive foul.
The corners of Yang Di's mouth rose disdainfully, his body slowed down slightly, and then stepped out, just to avoid Luke Wharton's standing defense, gliding in the air for a distance.
With a low hand to pick up a basket, Odom flies in, and the basketball hits the board with his palm before he stops the defense.
"Huh!"
Delicately into the frame.
