Chapter 195: Unstable Warriors
The Spurs called the penultimate timeout of the game. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fans at the scene quietly did not speak, covered their hands and looked up, and on the big screen, the time was frozen at 1 minute and 12 seconds of the fourth quarter, and the score: the Warriors led by 2 points 91-89.
Before the game, no one could have imagined that the warriors represented by the fish belly could actually force the Spurs to this point.
In the previous key ball stage, the Warriors were not inferior to the Spurs, especially Fisher and Richardson, who each scored a key shot to give the Warriors the lead. Fisher's goal in the face of boos struck a nerve with many Spurs fans, and memories were brought back to before the summer began.
"They might choose to let Tim Duncan attack inside," Montgomery's gaze moved to Yang Di's body, the No. 8 young man was drenched with sweat on his forehead, as if he had been fished out of the water.
Tired, really tired, Yang Di has never felt so tired. Sure enough, last season in the Heat, when he was on the bench, he didn't have to worry about physical problems, as soon as he got to the main team, the playing time increased to more than 30 minutes, and physical problems arose, even if he gritted his teeth, he still clearly felt the trembling of his legs, and sat there weakly, not listening to the call.
"If Duncan goes to the low post, it's up to you to defend, you have to be careful of the feints he makes after he turns around, the shot is likely to be a duffle, watch his feet." There are too many professional things Montgomery can't say clearly, this should be the job of the defensive coach, he can only make personnel arrangements, and arrange Yang Di to defend Duncan alone at the last moment.
No way, Yang Di's performance was too convincing, 16 points, 20 rebounds and 4 blocks, if it weren't for the even-numbered addiction, people thought he might have broken his single-game rebounding record again.
What's even more crazy for Chinese fans is that in just five games, Yang Di has grabbed 20 rebounds twice.
This is crazy, you know, even Yao Ming, who has always been proud of the champion, has only 19 single-game rebounding records so far, and only 1 time. It felt as if Yang Di's hands had magic, and the rebounds were frantically converging towards his hands.
The timeout is over, and the Spurs serve on the sideline.
Without Montgomery's arrangement, Yang Di also knew that it was him who should defend Duncan, because the Spurs made a key lineup change, Nesterovic was replaced, and Brent Barry was replaced.
It's a typical big four, and Montgomery chuckles in his heart and wants something bad.
Sure enough, Duncan didn't get into the inside singles at all, but ran to the high post to catch the ball, and then made a hand-to-hand pass screen for Tony Parker, and then made an off-ball screen for Ginobili on the wing, Ginobili received the ball and shook off Richardson and broke inside.
Yang Di let go of Duncan and chased after Ginobili, his eyes staring at him like a poisonous snake.
Ginobili shook his long hair, saw the Chinese who gave him a big hot pot in the first half, and followed behind without saying a word.
Ginobili scolded the insidious, and he dared to guarantee that no matter how hard he twisted, as long as he made a layup, he would definitely be blocked by the guy behind him with exaggerated bounce power. No, even if it's a dunk, it's very likely to be blocked.
A hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, poor little fellow, this time, it was no longer a simple air cutting tactic!
Ginobili shook his wrist and shook his big hand, and the basketball turned into a yellow light and flashed in front of Yang Di.
"What?"
Yang Di was taken aback, and couldn't help but look to the side along the ball path, and his face turned pale suddenly.
In the bottom corner on the right, Brent Barry, who had just been substituted, was standing there, unguarded three meters in front of him!
Feet, hands, shots!
"Huh!"
The basketball passed through his heart, so that Yang Di couldn't help but clench his hand bones, and his heart creaked and fired, this critical moment, damn defense, damn vacancy!
Troy Murphy raised his hand to indicate that the ball was on him, and he ran in to fill Duncan and missed Barry.
But the problem is that even if he fills in the position, he should care about Ginobili's passing route, completely allowing Ginobili to throw out a limit of passing space.
92-91, the Holy City fans cheered loudly, and finally saw the Spurs overtake their opponents again.
"Our Spurs are still stable."
'At the crucial moment, the tactics were played, Brent Barry was completely in an open position, and the two managers were not on the same level at all.
Montgomery's face was pale, and he was put on a stand by Popovich, but he didn't understand, how could he dare to arrange it like this, in case he missed the three-point shot?
There is no "what if" in the dictionary of life, and only those who fail think of it are words.
The Warriors' timeout meeting was particularly deep, but Yang Di's eyes gradually lit up.
He looked to the bench, this time last year, he could only sit on the bench and watch his teammates play, and this year he can be involved in every key moment of the team's attack and defense. In the bottom of his heart, Yang Di suddenly felt a trembling feeling, inexplicably, adrenaline hormones soared, this feeling ......
The referee directs the Warriors players to take their positions.
In the elbow area, Yang Di, Murphy, and Richardson stood in a ball, and if they didn't look carefully, they couldn't see how they were standing, and the fans only felt that the Spurs seemed to surround these three people.
Covering off the ball, switching defenses, Richardson came out of the three-point line.
The ball didn't follow, the Spurs expanded the defensive range, Yang Di saw this, and immediately took the initiative to go out, Dunleavy quickly gave the ball to Yang Di.
Before he started dribbling, Ginobili took the initiative to post it, the Spurs stood in a three-two position, and at the critical moment, he offered a joint defense, and Yang Di didn't dribble the ball and gave it to Fisher again.
Richardson shook off the tangled Bruce Bowen and didn't read the changes on the field after receiving the ball.
According to the coach's instructions, Richardson found Yang Di's high block, and then turned around and broke inside, before he could take two steps, the Spurs suddenly contracted the defensive line, like a fishing net that caught its prey, and in an instant the entire space seemed to be squeezed by them.
Richardson shouted in exasperation, almost missing.
Stop the ball and pass it back to Fisher.
Fisher didn't feel good either, but he immediately gave the command and let Dunleavy go to the bottom corner, although he didn't know if he could pass the ball over.
The Spurs, who have expanded their defense, are already showing a palatable weakness, with large open spaces luring the Warriors to break through.
Yang Di cut in, and Richardson forced a shot at the top of the arc......
Entered!
Three-pointers on the board! As the 24-second offensive time was approaching, Richardson hit a frontal three-pointer to help the Warriors overtake the Spurs once again.
Yang Di rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe it, anyway, if he didn't score this goal, he wouldn't be able to grab the rebound.
But he just went in, and Popovich, embarrassed not knowing what to say, stood up and called a last timeout.
