Chapter 837: Reversing the Situation III
Phil Jackson asked for a timeout, and Yang Di came up with a posture that seemed to cut 100 points.
At this time, it was less than 2 minutes into the opening game, and Yang Di's scoring efficiency and explosiveness were even stronger than Kobe Bryant in the first game.
"Guard him and don't let him into the box."
Phil Jackson looked at his disciples and burst out with such a sentence for a long time.
Garnett couldn't help but secretly glance at Phil Jackson, thinking that Lao Tzu didn't let Yang Di enter the restricted area, he squeezed it out by himself, and the current situation is that Yang Di's mid-range shooting is also very accurate, which is the most embarrassing.
Kobe Bryant shook his head, got up from the bench, and was silent, but a gleam flashed in his eyes.
This is the strongest part of the Warriors, Yang Di's insolvability alone is the insolvability of the entire Warriors.
It has long been argued that if you want to beat the Warriors, you have to use a stronger offense than the Warriors, and judging by the first win, this is true.
The timeout is over and the players from both sides return to the field.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant came out to receive the ball at a 45-degree position, received the ball and Garnett began to block and dismantle, and Yang Di bypassed Garnett and wrapped Kobe Bryant with Ray Allen.
After the wrap-up, Yang Di immediately followed up, Kobe Bryant did not pass the ball to Garnett, and singled out Ray Allen one-on-one.
Kobe dribbled the ball under his crotch, swapped his left hand to his right hand, pulled the ball sideways with his right hand, faced Ray Allen, who was defending him, shook off a little space, and then pulled up and shot directly.
Ray Allen pounces on Kobe Bryant's face.
"Bell!"
The shot was missed, and Yang Di grabbed the backcourt rebound under the basket.
"Kobe Bryant's hand is average, if he shoots like this, this game may become a personal performance show for Yang Di of the Warriors." The media in Los Angeles finally has a crisis, the Lakers are still 2-8 down, they don't have the ball, and the morale is completely on the side of the Warriors.
After the transition between offense and defense, Yang Di broke through with the ball and finally got the package of the entire Lakers team.
The bag came late, but Yang Di calmly faced it, dribbled halfway, took the baseline and made a wide transfer, and handed it to Danny Granger, who was in the empty corner of the weak side.
Granger makes a jumper.
No.
The rebound was taken by Garnett.
Garnett turned and passed the ball to Kobe, who advanced with the ball.
Attacking in the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant in the low post was caught by the Warriors after holding the ball, and distributed it to Garnett, who hit a mid-range jumper under the interference of Jandy's subsequent slap to arrive.
His arms are particularly long, and when he shoots, he also shoots straight-arm jumpers, with a hint of leaning back, and no one can interfere with him at all.
At least he will definitely not be capped, and he will pass the test in one fell swoop.
4 to 8.
After the goal, Phil Jackson breathed a sigh of relief, and the Lakers finally scored again.
......
At 7 minutes and 22 seconds in the first quarter, Yang Di received the ball from Ray Allen, leaned on Garnett on the inside, forcibly turned around, and shook it, and Kwame Brown flew up.
Yang Di's resurgence directly caused the latter's foul.
Yang Di walked to the free-throw line and was greeted with boos from more than 20,000 spectators at Staples Arena.
The Purple and Gold Army has enough fans today, and in addition to Los Angeles, there are also many fans from other places in the California region, and tickets are hard to find.
But overall, Staples fans are still very restrained, unlike in the Salt Lake City game, when Yang Di made free throws, there were fans directly shaking his headshot, and even a few fans stripped naked and interfered with him directly in front of Yang Di's free throws.
Yang Di took the basketball passed to him by the referee.
The bottom of the screen shows Yang Di's average data for the regular season this season, with 30.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 3.7 blocks, shooting 52.7 percent from the field and 83.8 percent from the free throw line.
Yang Di's average points per game is a career high, since entering the league, his average points per game has been rising, the shooting rate is a new career low, since entering the league, as Yang Di plays more and more outside, the shooting rate is also declining year by year.
But after combining the free throw shooting percentage, Yang Di's true shooting percentage ranks among the top in the league.
Yang Di has become the rebounder with the most accurate free throw shooting percentage in addition to players such as Yao Ming, Nowitzki, and Bagyani who are known for their projection.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
He hit both free throws.
After hitting two free throws, Yang Di has scored 10 points, and Yang Di has not missed the ball so far with all four shots in the opening game plus the current free throw score.
The Warriors took a six-point lead, and Bryant then hit a 3-pointer to tie the score to just three points in the recent past.
But then Ray Allen's three-pointer returned to color, and Danny Granger hit a 3-pointer to give the Warriors all the power from the outside.
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Lakers by nine points, 34-25.
Such a result was not expected by a cadre of media in Los Angeles, and an expert group like ESPN, who was still watching the Warriors before, was all silent after the end of the first quarter of the game, only talking about how the Lakers adjusted next.
The two sides entered the bench rotation, and Garnett, who was rested early, reappeared as the core of the Lakers' court.
After half a quarter, the Warriors took advantage of the bench and extended their 47-34 lead to 13 points, forcing Phil Jackson to call another timeout.
Kobe Bryant's hand is not very good, at least compared with the state of God blocking and killing God and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha in the first game, it is far from it.
On the contrary, Yang Di was in a hot state, routinely breaking out on the road, after scoring 20 points in the first quarter, he continued to score points in the second quarter, and scored 31 points at halftime.
At halftime, the Warriors led the Lakers by 16 points, 65-49.
The difference was the largest since the two teams met, and the Lakers were silent, and there was a solemn atmosphere throughout the Staples Arena.
One of the main reasons the Warriors are leading is Danny Granger.
Danny Granger made 3 of 4 three-pointers in the first half, missing all three of his three-pointers except for the first one, providing the Warriors with plenty of firepower.
After the start of the second half, Yang Di was chased and intercepted by the Lakers.
The Warriors always maintained a 10-point lead, reaching nearly 20 points at the maximum, and the two teams did not look like teams at the same level at all.
The huge gap from what was envisioned broke the hearts of Lakers fans, but the rare scene in the playoffs and the fact that they didn't want to leave the court so early, even in garbage time, the arena was still full of fans.
In the end, the Warriors reversed the situation of the entire series, defeating the Lakers by 18 points 115-97 in the G3 game, and Yang Di played a little more than three quarters, cutting 43 points and 13 rebounds, and also returned Kobe Bryant's 40+ points.
