Chapter 699: Singles Three

Yang Di picked up the basketball that the referee passed through, and the second free throw was also hit steadily.

The Warriors were 120-118 with 29.8 seconds left in G5 and were two points ahead of the Suns.

D'Antoni called a timeout, the Suns rotated 7 people, and the lack of a Thomas was a very serious lack of interior line, at which time he had to replace Dio, who was more helpful to the offense, but after this timeout, the Suns only had one last timeout left.

Thankfully, he didn't make too many adjustments before.

The Warriors have 2 timeouts left, the Suns consume 1 timeout, and the Warriors will not reduce the number of timeouts.

Yang Di's singles at the critical moment were very stable, and the Suns were a little stunned, and the speed of the bag was a little slower, so he found an opportunity to score the ball or create a kill.

With 39 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 blocks, and 2 steals, Yang Di's comprehensive statistics on both offensive and defensive ends are all statistics that can only be played by superstars.

Jordan said before that it is not particularly difficult to score 30 points in the NBA, as long as you score 8 points in the first quarter, another 8 points in the second quarter, and 8 points in the third and fourth quarters, it will already be 32 points.

Yang Di feels that he is in a bit of this state right now, and there is almost no one who can defend him, unless he has a particularly bad hand, or the Warriors have already beaten the opponent in the half, and his score may be less than 20 points.

And 20 points is a recognized star-level level in the NBA, and he has surpassed others too much.

The timeout ended, and both teams returned to the court.

D'Antoni looked at Yang Di with a hint of pity in his eyes.

Three years ago, when the Sharks were traded, he suggested that the team trade Young to the Suns. This is true, when he just took over the Suns in the second half of the season, the Suns signed Nash in the offseason, although there is Xiao Si on the inside, but still needs a super rebounder, and Yang Di has such potential. But Yang Di was injured, and the general manager of the Suns was discouraged, and finally regretted losing Yang Di.

If Yang Di had been obtained at that time, the current picture would not be too beautiful, and he might have won the championship a long time ago.

This is called the impermanence of the world, if Yang Di is not injured, maybe the Sun will make up their minds to get him, but maybe Yang Di is not injured, he will not leave Miami at all.

The Suns chose to serve up front, and Marion stood on the sidelines.

Nash moved from the bottom line to the line, Xiao Si delayed Nash's blocking, Yang Di did not chase out, there is no need to grab the ball, in case it is not grabbed, there will be a situation where people will be out of position.

Nash catches the ball and moves to the left, and Monta Ellis is quick to catch up.

The whole Suns moved, and Marion, who finished serving, cut diagonally 45 degrees into the air, and with the help of Xiao Si, who had just covered Nash, he shook off Danny Granger a little bit.

Yang Di contracted the defensive line and spread his arms to delay Marion.

Nash was another battleground, with substitute Dio perfectly completing the pick-and-roll for him, and Monta Ellis being held out.

The Suns' pick-and-roll quality cover is among the best in the league, and the quality of the pick-and-roll means that the team's players can execute their tactics at a higher quality.

Nash dribbled in, and all the fans' eyes were on No. 13.

On the side, Marion and Xiao Si tried to cut at the same time, and Yang Di felt like a reef in the waves, while facing the Suns players rushing towards him from all directions.

Nash's long hair was fluttering, and he saw Yang Di's strict defense, he didn't attack, and skillfully hit the ground and diverted the ball.

On the side, the orange No. 31 suddenly rushed over, took Nash's ball, and stepped on the three-second zone with his big foot, Marion was probably about to complete a dunk, but after seeing Yang Di also jump at the same time, the scene of Stoudemire being blocked by Yang Di suddenly appeared in his heart.

panicked, bent his waist and straightened his abdomen, and barely avoided Yang Di's block with a swing of the basketball in both hands.

Then he threw the ball and the basketball was high in the air.

"Bell!"

No.

The cheering audience let out a regretful sigh, Yang Di turned around and jumped, "snapped" in the air, clasped his hands together, and grabbed the basketball.

Xiao Si didn't dare to foul, he had 5 fouls on his back, Marion came up and hugged Yang Di, and got his 4th foul of the game.

Yang Di held the basketball aloft with a smile on his face.

The Suns players were at a loss, and at the critical moment, the Suns failed to counterattack, defending and attacking, and fell into an extremely embarrassing situation.

Yang Di's performance in the final moments simply dominated the entire court, and the Suns had had chances, but still couldn't score the ball.

Yang Di walked to the free throw line, and the audience booed.

He took the ball from the referee and hit the first free throw, 121-118, and the Warriors guaranteed not to lose.

On the second penalty, the boos were louder.

Yang Di took the basketball, looked at the basket, as if there was no other noise in his ears, like thousands of training sessions on weekdays, he raised the basketball, flicked his fingers, pressed down on his wrist, and threw the ball.

"Huh!"

The basketball still wore through the heart, 122-118, in the final moment, 18.7 seconds, a 4-point lead!

The Suns were forced to call the last timeout, and Golden State fans were already singing and dancing, they had already seen the dawn of victory in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and a win in Game 5, the most crucial game of the entire series, would increase the odds of winning the series exponentially.

During the timeout, the Warriors made lineup changes, Tyson Chandler, who had five fouls on his back, was replaced by Montgomery and replaced with a slightly faster small forward Matt Barnes, and Monta Ellis was also replaced with Trevor Ariza, and Jandy returned to the No. 5 position. In this situation, it is obvious to adjust the lineup, which is to defend the Suns' three-point team, and the Warriors have 5 people on the court, except for Ray Allen, who is 1.96 meters, and the rest are all forward players between 2 meters and 2.10 meters.

There's speed, there's body, and you're good at defending.

ESPN's host exclaimed, "The Warriors have never seen this defensive lineup used by them, but such a lineup seems to have a unique effect, it looks like all height and arm length, and it is really not a simple thing for the Suns to shoot." ”

The Suns served on the sideline, Barbosa came out to catch the ball with the help of cover, and Nash began to run with the cover of Xiao Si and Marion, and it was obvious that for the last attack, D'Antoni chose Nash, who had the most consistent three-point shooting percentage in the Skyyang team.

Nash circled around 45 degrees, and the basketball flew over, catching the ball, and jumping, and Ariza blocked it at this time, interfering with his eyes.

Shoot quickly and leap over everyone.

"Huh!"

It turned out to be hollow into the frame!

At 121 to 122, just five seconds have passed, and the Sun still has 13.7 seconds to go.

The hearts of Warriors fans tugged again, and it seemed that they hadn't quite grasped the victory yet.
