309 Crisis
In the stadium of the SBC, there was a lot of noise. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The fans were silent, staring blankly at the Warriors who tied the score on the court, slightly deflated.
By this time, the game had already experienced the third quarter, and the Warriors were 77-77 to catch up with the score again.
In this game, the Warriors fell behind countless times, and they couldn't count how many times they stubbornly caught up, and whenever the Spurs got up, the Warriors immediately got up, playing more like the Spurs than the Spurs.
"Yang Di is simply a natural leader."
Barkley praised Yang Di, from looking down on Yang Di back then, to now, he has completely changed his attitude.
'The lad played so well in this game, he was impeccable in the key moments, he responded with determination and toughness, and brought the game back to a level of rhythm.
Barkley complimented him a lot, and Smith looked at him in surprise, subconsciously wanting to refute him, after all, this is their style of commentary.
But when I opened my mouth, I still didn't think of any good reasons and logic.
When it came time to open his mouth, it became: "Yes, Yang Di has already scored 18 points and 14 rebounds, and there are still more than 2 minutes left before the end of the third quarter, and he is likely to get a very terrifying statistic in this game." ”
Yang Di, a sophomore, played superstar stats, and during the same period, Wade in the East also made great progress.
The Heat swept the Nets led by Kidd and Carter, and Wade averaged 26.3 points, 8.8 assists and 6.3 rebounds per game, shooting nearly 5 percent.
Among the rookies in the class of '03, the result was Wade and Yang Di taking the lead in the playoffs, and their exposure surpassed that of James for the first time during this period.
At this time, James, who failed to make the playoffs, deeply felt the crisis.
James watched the fifth game between the Spurs and the Warriors, Yang Di's several performances were impressive, Yang Di, who was immature and could only play as a substitute, is now quietly transforming in the playoffs, and the whole team is unknowingly revolving around him.
He had also seen this kind of self-contained system ability in himself, but now it seems that it is not as obvious as Yang Di.
On the field, Yang Di shouted to the players to run and actively ask for the ball.
After Duncan hit a board, he also reached the 18th point of the game, and the Spurs led the Warriors by two points 79-77.
Yang Di was not discouraged, now Duncan's goal on his head could not cause him much psychological turmoil, he calmly analyzed the situation, thinking about how to prevent the next goal.
It's like making a set of papers, and the person who has been thinking about the previous topic will definitely not be able to do the later topic well.
And Yang Di is in good shape.
In this round of attack, Davis hit the ground and distributed it to Yang Di, Yang Di faced Duncan, dribbled under the crotch and then turned around, forced a little space, and hit a layup with a low hand.
The scene camera was given to the audience of Spurs, where a white-haired old man in a black suit and white shirt sat there, looking at Yang Di running on the field with a grim face.
This is Pete Hoult, owner of the Spurs.
Spurs owner Pete Holt is a track tractor dealer and the great-grandson of track tractor Benjamin Holt, with a large family business.
In '93, Pete Holt joined 22 investors to buy the Spurs for $75 million and became a shareholder of the Spurs, that is, the owner.
Subsequently, he acquired the hockey league teams, development league teams, and WNBA teams in San Antonio, and founded the Spurs Entertainment and Sports Company, which truly brought the Spurs culture to the city. A businessman, but with a unique mindset, even created this good story.
Last year, he was inducted into the Texas Business Hall of Fame.
The level of support the Spurs have now in San Antonio is inseparable from his push.
Such an excellent and successful owner also looks particularly serious today, Spurs won the championship in 99 and 03, and have always had a chance to compete for the championship in recent years, but the possibility of being defeated by other teams is not ruled out.
In Pitt's view, the Warriors have such qualities.
And Yang Di is the real leader of the Warriors today.
Yang Di has already scored 20 points, and Duncan's defense of Yang Di in this game is not particularly good.
There are also some breakaway shots from outside players, Murphy's inside passes, and free throws that have been inflicted themselves.
Tennoyama is the most pivotal battle in the seven-game series.
You know, historically, the team that won the battle of Tianwang Mountain had a chance of winning the final series as high as 83.3%!
So the players on both sides were red-eyed, and the more they went to the back, they were even more nervous, and they didn't dare to be careless for a moment.
The fans were holding their breath and their hearts were racing.
"Huh!"
Duncan, who turned his back, resisted the two of Murphy and Yang Di, forcibly hooked his hand, and still scored.
"Bang!"
Yang Di missed the shot, but knocked Duncan away and made a second rebound.
At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs led the Warriors by one point, 83-82.
At this time, Yang Di had to play 22 points and 17 rebounds, Montgomery thought about it for a while, and was ready to let Yang Di rest for three minutes, after all, the internal physical exertion was too great.
And Davis, Richardson and other outside players, Montgomery is not ready to let them rest in the rest of this game.
They will all play more than 40 minutes.
In the playoffs, coaches rely more on the performance of their stars, and it is not uncommon to play more than 40 minutes, and there are even some Golden Steelers who may play 45 minutes after a game.
What Montgomery didn't expect was that just one minute after Yang Di came off the court, the Spurs' new interior veteran Robert Horry hit a three-pointer, and the defense interfered with Richardson's layup, and the Spurs counterattacked, a wave of 5-0 instantly opened the difference, forcing him to call a timeout.
Montgomery turned to look at Yang Di.
Yang Di wiped his sweat, took a big breath, and stood up from the bench.
"Yang, this game is hard, let's finish the remaining 10 minutes or more!"
Montgomery and Yang Di said, and they couldn't help but feel a little emotional, the sophomore who came over the trade, unconsciously relied on him to this extent, as if he was off the court, and the whole Warriors team changed a team.
At the end of the timeout, Popovich watched Yang Di come on the court with a smile on his face.
At this time, Yang Di had 3 fouls on his back, although there was no foul crisis, but it allowed Popovich to find the best opportunity to attack the interior at this time.
With a wave of his hand, he motioned for Ginobili and the others to start attacking the inside.
The Spurs' tactics suddenly changed, Robert Horry was able to open up space more than Duncan, giving the Spurs a better chance to break through, and Yang Di could only stay away from the box in order to defend Horry.
Once the Spurs form a breakthrough, Yang Di must turn back to assist in defense, and it is more difficult to grasp the timing of assistance defense than to stand on defense.
Yang Di missed a few rounds and received his fourth foul on Ginobili.
Ginobili hit both free throws to give the Spurs a five-point lead over the Warriors at 92-87.
Montgomery's heart "chuckled", and a deep crisis swelled up.
