Chapter 299: Grinding
A closer look at the comparison shows that the warriors are still too immature. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Di, Davis and Fisher are already relatively experienced in the playoffs, as for Richardson and Dunleavy, before Yang Di arrived, they did not enter the top ten in the regular season, and only watched others play in the playoffs.
There were also problems with the bench, but fortunately, Fisher was really a big heart, and after hitting a drifting shot, he helped the Warriors bite the gap 29-37.
Yang Di came on early and had less than four minutes of rest.
Heading into the playoffs, Montgomery made it clear that he wanted to increase his playing time, and if he didn't have foul trouble, more than 37 minutes was a given. In the same way, the same is true for Davis, Richardson and other absolute main players, after all, this is a knockout round, and those who lose can only go home to fish.
Popovich didn't put Duncan on the court.
It was this hesitant change that Yang Di immediately seized the opportunity to grab the frontcourt rebound when Richardson missed the sixth ball, and hung Robert Horry to score two points.
2+1!
After hitting a free throw, the Warriors trailed by just five points at 32-37.
The Spurs attacked, Duncan, who was on the court, received the ball and hit Yang Di with his back, and when he turned around, the positive Foyer worked with Yang Di to wrap Duncan.
Duncan was surrounded, unable to see the passing route, and returned to Parker to declare the defeat of the round.
Approaching 24 seconds, Glenn Robinson forced a jump shot and missed.
Under the basket, Yang Di and Duncan were in the position, and he was stuck in the main position, but the ball bounced far away, Yang Di stretched out his hand and slowed down, and instead of grabbing the basketball, he was grabbed by Duncan behind him.
Duncan's rebound is a throw, and the second offense is complete.
"Hey!"
Head coach Montgomery sighed, it's a pity for this ball, Yang Di's backcourt rebounding protection has always been very good, but sometimes, the game also depends on some luck.
Young received the ball from the outside and made a hand-to-hand pass cover with Richardson.
At this time, Richardson, who shot 1 of 7, himself was a little doubtful of his state today, although Bowen was blocked by Yang Di, he became unconfident in the face of Duncan.
After a simple crotch crossover step to open up the distance, Richardson returned the ball to Yang Di, who was down.
Yang Di received the ball and broke inside.
In the forbidden area, Muhammad looked at Yang Di, who rushed over like a rhinoceros, and felt a little weak in his heart.
"Boom!"
Yang Di stepped on the floor, grabbed the basketball high in his right hand, and was about to slap a tomahawk slam buckle, when there was pain in his wrist, and a big dark hand hit it fiercely, and the basketball was instantly out of his hand.
Flew out of the bottom line, and the referee blew the Spurs frontcourt ball!
Yang Di suddenly became angry, and shouted at the referee on the ground, "Are you blind or deaf?" Such a loud thug can be heard by my grandmother! ”
The referee glared at Yang Di and ignored Yang Di.
At this time, the NBA had not yet promulgated the "zero tolerance" rule, and players yelled at the referee from time to time.
Yang Di was really fouled, his expressions and movements are very real and in place, and the home whistle can't be blown like this!
But the referee ignored him, and the fans at the scene booed him.
The Spurs had already begun to push forward, and Yang Di had to abandon the theory of continuing to play with the white referee, and continued to compete with Duncan after returning to halftime.
Ginobili took advantage of Duncan's block to get past Richardson.
Ginobili turned to the left and broke through, taking an exaggerated step in, and as soon as Murphy made contact with his body, he twitched and bounced away like an electric shock, and after a few key staggers, the basketball was still in his hand.
The cunning Argentine glanced at the referee, who blew the whistle.
"Murphy pushes people for a foul."
Murphy made three offenses, hugging his head in disbelief.
Montgomery had no choice but to wave his hand and replace Fayer, who had just been off the court for less than a minute, to replace Murphy, who was in foul danger.
"It's like diving on a football field."
Barkley scoffed at Manu Ginobili's moves and didn't believe they could be brought to the NBA, "It's just ruining the beauty of basketball, he must not be able to form a fan base, maybe the European league is really the fertile ground for them." ”
"It's so ugly, the game is going to be ugly."
It's ugly, but there's no denying that it's very practical.
The Warriors are without Murphy, and Yang Di's offensive responsibility on the interior is more significant, and without Murphy's domination, the Warriors' overall offense will be discounted.
"Let's keep it simple!"
Yang Di said to Davis.
"A team like the Spurs, but the more complicated it is to beat them, we just use the simplest high post blocking, otherwise it is a heads-up and a sudden point to solve the problem!"
Byron Davis nodded, and that was all there was to it.
......
"Warriors are easy to fight!"
Davis returned to the way he did just after the start of the game, waving his hand to open up the space, and then letting Yang Di come out and play a high pick-and-roll with him.
On the side, the Warriors and Spurs formed a two-on-two situation.
Davis immediately forced Duncan after blocking, Yang Di staggered with Davis, and then Yang Di fell to the low post to card Parker.
Byron Davis didn't force the ball and turned around to hoist the ball to Jandy.
Yang Di was overjoyed to receive the ball, and immediately sank his waist and lungeed into it, leaning his back against the French sports car body of only 1.88 meters with a "bang", which hit Parker's chest as if he was hit by a big stone.
Duncan turned around and Yang Di passed the ball to Davis.
The Spurs rotated defensively, Byron Davis gave the ball to Richardson, and Richardson in the middle was finally unguarded, jumping high and shooting.
"Huh!" Hit!
Strike!
After the eighth ball was hit, Richardson's shooting rate instantly reached 25 percent, and there was a feeling of tears in his eyes.
Match stats can be deceiving.
Sometimes, some players make a lot of shots in the early stage, the shooting rate is low, and in the second half they score a few goals in a row, and the shooting rate can be pulled back in an instant, and it looks like it is more than 40 percent, which seems to be the same as the average shooting rate of the season, but in fact, many good opportunities for the team throughout the game are wasted, and many opportunities to start and take away the game are missed in vain.
The key to the Warriors' goal was Yang Di.
Duncan also discovered this, Yang Di's offensive skills are not as bad as the legend, and the offense under a few baskets is very threatening, forcing him to come to help defend the misalignment, and once the defense is assisted, there will be a situation where the local warriors play more and play less, and the threat of vacancy increases a lot.
Before halftime, the Warriors trailed the Spurs by seven points at 48-55, and the margin was back a little.
After the game was simpler, it also reduced the team's overall mistakes, although the shooting rate was average, but at least it would not give the Spurs a chance to score easily, and the team slowly stalemateed the score, aiming to drag the game to the last moment.
