"The winner of the 2006-07 Defensive Player of the Year was the Warriors' Super Interior Player - Youngdy!"

In the locker room of the AT Center, the official NBA channel was playing on the TV, and officials officially announced the bombshell news on the TV, and the award for the best defensive player was finally settled.

Yang Di stood up with a smile and high-fived his teammates in celebration, an award he had always aspired to receive.

On the official TV screen, Yang Di's wonderful defensive footage this season is given, most of which are various flying hats.

Young Di received 69 percent of the vote, followed by Marcus Camby, who came in second, with only 8 percent, followed by Bruce Bowen, Duncan, Sean Marion, Sean Battier and others.

"Finally got the best defensive player, and that's what you deserve."

The teammates congratulated Yang Di, and they all knew that Yang Di wanted to win this award, but in fact, the demand was very high last year.

But last year, against a record-breaking Pistons, Ben Wallace's defense was indeed a little more impressive.

This year, Yang Di basically has no decent competitors, although Camby averages more blocks per game than him, but the Nuggets' record is far from the Warriors, and the Nuggets' overall defense this year is average, conceding an average of 103.7 points per game, which is more than the Warriors, and it is even more discounted.

Tyson Chandler is ranked seventh on this list of the best defensive players, just behind Ben Wallace.

"The data is slightly worse than Yang Di, and I will have the opportunity to participate in the election in the future." Chandler grinned and said to Ray Allen that his stats have improved this year, especially in rebounds and blocks per game, which averaged a career-high 9.7 rebounds per game and a career-high 1.7 blocks per game.

Chandler also knows that playing with Yang Di must be less in average data per game, but the joy of this victory and the honor of the team must be much more, and recently a Chinese manufacturer has approached him to endorse, overall, the advantages must outweigh the disadvantages.

Ray Allen said with some surprise: "How many votes did Kirk Hinrich of the Bulls actually get?" ”

"Hey, it's true!"

Everyone listened to Ray Allen, and when they looked at the voting list, Hinrich was ranked 14th in the league, second to Okafor, Prince and others.

"His stats are average, defensive stats."

"1.3 steals, why can you rank so high? Please water army? Yang Di laughed jokingly, and everyone laughed when they heard it.

"It is more difficult for outside players to select this award, Hinrich shoots so high, he is simply the first person among guards, Kobe, Wade and others are a consolation vote, far worse than him."

"Ray Allen doesn't have a single vote!" Monta-Ellis said with a smile.

Ray Allen shrugged his shoulders, then stretched out his arm and compared it to Yang Di, "Look, if I have Yang Di's long arms, I can also run for election." ”

Yang Di waved his hand, "No, no, no, my arms are not long, and Andris (Biedrins) is the longest." ”

"Me?" Bedrins pointed at himself, looking up blankly.

……

In the afternoon, the Warriors played an intra-team practice game in the arena.

Tomorrow night is the G3 game against the Spurs, and in order to keep the players alive and in the shape of the game, Montgomery specially arranged a training match.

At the same time, it is also to get used to the Spurs venue.

After the intra-team match, Yang Dijia practiced some other aspects of training.

After some simple back-to-back drills and face-frame offense, the Warriors needed him to play stronger offense against the Spurs.

"Lower your center of gravity a little more!"

The trainer came with the team, and someone was specifically responsible for Yang Di's training.

After Yang Di practiced for a while, he went to the sidelines to rest

The Spurs are not generally high in difficulty when they are fighting at home, and even Yang Di himself is unsure of whether he can get out of the way, but as long as he wins one of the two games, the balance of victory in the entire series will be completely tilted in favor of the Warriors.

The next evening.

On this day, the NBA arranged four more games for the first time, in addition to the Warriors and Spurs, there were also Rockets vs. Jazz, Cavaliers vs. Wizards, and Magic vs. Pistons.

Yang Di and Yao Ming had a game at the same time, and after CCTV5 weighed it, they finally chose to broadcast the Rockets' game.

The AT Center arena was packed, and the avid Spurs fans wore white T-shirts, which also created a great home environment.

The Warriors players were supposed to make arrangements long ago, and when they were ready, they walked into the arena from the locker room.

As soon as he entered the stadium, he was immediately booed by the audience.

Boos came from all directions, but Yang Di felt that a large part of them rushed towards him.

This is a unique away experience from the playoffs, he is like a big demon from the Bay Area, and the righteous people of the Holy City will turn into his opponents at this moment, well, that's right, so boo Yang Di.

The footage on the big screen at the scene also gave Yang Di a close-up, and sure enough, the boos immediately rose a level.

After the warm-up session, the lights went out and the Spurs conducted their low-key opening ceremony.

Because they had to introduce the away team first, Yang Di and the others felt the boos of the holy city in turn.

Back on their home court, the Spurs must improve their combat effectiveness, and in the first two games, the Spurs only won by a little bit and lost by luck.

At the start of the game, Duncan jumped to win against Tyson Chandler.

Spurs fans immediately began to create a loud, uniform "offense" slogan.

Parker flew through the half, the Spurs' starting lineup did not make any changes, still Parker, Finley, Bowen, Duncan and Elson, and the Warriors did not change either.

Parker faces Derek Fisher and the confidence to break through is high.

However, the Spurs' style of play is more restrained, and the first offense still chose to follow the traditional tactics.

After handing over Tim Duncan to the high post, Parker went to the bottom corner to open up the entire Spurs formation, and then Finley received the ball and played Duncan on the pick-and-roll.

Yang Di delayed Finley's dribble, and Duncan went inside for a split second, and there was an empty space.

Finley was afraid of Yang Di's defense, did not dare to pass the ball, and distributed it to Bowen in the middle, Bowen and Parker alternately screened, Parker held the ball and cut in at 45 degrees.

Fisher couldn't keep up, and Parker sprinted for the basket.

At this time, Yang Di turned around, did not dare to let go of Duncan, and watched Parker throw in front of Tyson Chandler's help defense.

Basketball doesn't play boards, it goes straight into the frame!

"Tyson's defensive pace is still a little slower."

Montgomery compared Chandler and Yang Di, the biggest difference between Yang Di and Chandler, who won the best defensive player, is that Yang Di has the same flexible footsteps and super reaction speed as the outside, and he can go to assist in defense in a few steps on the inside.
