Chapter 681: Mutual Attack II
The Meixi Stadium is full of people.
The Suns' offense was like a tidal wave, and every goal sent the entire arena to a boil, with fans shouting and cheering as hard as they could, hitting the eardrums of the visiting Warriors.
"Enemy of a detachment, enemy of 20,000 men, enemy of a city."
Yang Di crossed his waist and stood in place, smiled, narrowed his eyes, and did not speak.
By the end of the first quarter, he had already cut down 11 points and 3 rebounds, although the Suns have been wrapping him, but not every time the packs are so timely, he finds opportunities to complete the goal, and occasionally causes the Suns players to be punished, Stoudemire, Sean Marion and others are fouled.
Yang Di also had a foul, fouled the removed Xiao Si, Xiao Si flew in the air to play, he couldn't cover him, he might foul.
The two sides also fought hard, and the Suns were 32-29 at the end of the first quarter, leading by 3 points.
In the first half of the second quarter, which was dominated by substitutes, Monta Ellis faced Barbossa.
Barbosa is known as the Brazilian Lightning, and like Yang Di, he is also a player in the class of 03, and he is also an elite player in the class of 03, and he is now a big name in the league, and he will become a restricted free agent this summer, and his value is not low.
Monta Ellis entered the league two years later than Barbossa and is much younger, but he is definitely no slower than Barbossa, who is the fastest player on the Warriors to advance the dribble, a little faster than Louis Williams at 1.85m.
But the game is not simply about who is faster, if the two go head-to-head, it is only a five-five situation.
Barbosa is good at blocking and dismantling, and after Nash left the court, he carried the banner of the Suns' offense.
Wrapping around pick-and-rolls, Barbosa can dribble and shoot on his own, assist teammates, and directly attack the basket, which is a huge test for the Warriors' bench group.
Soon, Biedrins suffered from Barbossa, who was deceived into a foul by Barbossa, who broke through.
Barbosa went to the free throw line in quick succession and made free throws.
The Suns led the Warriors by five points at 40-35, and after Barbossa hit a three-pointer and the Suns led the Warriors 43-35, Montgomery called a timeout.
"It's a bit of a bad situation for the Warriors, and the Suns are on fire, and almost every break that goes inside can be converted into a score."
Barkley couldn't tell if he was happy or worried about the Warriors, he burped after eating the burger, and then realized that he had damaged his image, and quickly said a bunch of words to attract the attention of the fans.
"The Warriors' defense has a big problem, you can't run with the basketball, you have to stare at the people, the basketball moves too fast, and if you stare at the basketball, it's easy to get out of position." He's talking about Monta Ellis, who is a little better on a single defense, and a big colander in the overall defense, "I think I can wrap up Leandro Barbossa, and sometimes, he's Kobe Bryant of the Suns, and it's not uncommon for a game to be convulsed and score 30 points." ”
Montgomery is also figuring out how to defend Barbosa, who poses a huge threat to the Warriors' bench defense.
After thinking about it, he replaced David Lee with Tyson Chandler and formed a twin tower with Biedrins to protect the penalty area.
However, in this way, the Warriors are tantamount to giving up the interior offense and relying entirely on the outside to attack, so in order to avoid too much pressure, Montgomery replaced Ray Allen with Monta Ellis, and put the experienced player Matt Barnes at the small forward position.
Barnes can attack and defend, and his three-point shooting rate is also more than 35 percent, which can be regarded as an outside battery supplement.
A pair of arms carved dragons and phoenixes, when standing with Yang Di, Barnes is like a thug, after he plays, he is also a well-known villain, and the Suns are not all good birds, but no one dares to mess with him.
After the timeout, the Warriors were in better shape, attacking outside and defending inside, and their style of play was more clear.
Barbossa's breakthrough was also limited to a certain extent, and the Warriors recovered a little bit of difference, and when Yang Di came on the court, they re-rotated.
Ray Allen, Monta Ellis and Tyson Chandler are out on the break.
Yang Di played with the benches for a while, and the Warriors rotated the whole team, and the starting lineup was changed to the court, and the Suns were in turn.
"I'm coming!"
In the second half of the game, Yang Di took the initiative to ask for the ball and strengthen his personal attack.
He received the ball in the low post on the right side, Xiao Si defended, and the moment he received the ball, the Suns duo surrounded him, Yang Di turned around and walked to the bottom line, stepped on the ground with his right foot, and turned around to shoot a jumper.
Xiao Si wanted to grab the rebound, the defensive reaction was not so fast, although Yang Di's ball had a large range of action and seemed to be difficult to shoot, but in fact, the interference was very low.
With an excellent sense of rhythm and shooting touch, this ball went straight into the frame.
"Jumping up and defending?"
Defense is not what Xiao Si is good at, defending Yang Di, Xiao Si is in a dilemma, whether to jump or not, he himself does not have an accurate judgment, it is likely that the next time he jumps, but Yang Di is a feint, and then the footsteps are changed, and he passes him directly.
The Suns do not have players who can limit Yang Di one-on-one, so they can only limit Yang Di's play as much as possible in the wheel battle.
But when Yang Di wants to score points, no one can stop him, and the Spurs still have Duncan to force Yang Di to be restricted, but what about the Suns?
In the blink of an eye, Yang Di turned around and shot, hooked his hand under the basket, broke through to the basket, scored points in various ways, scored more than 20, and the Warriors also successfully chased the score to 61-62 before halftime, only 1 point behind the Suns.
Both teams scored high scores, it was an offensive battle, the fans enjoyed watching it, and the ratings were rising.
In the era of the rise of the ball, the Suns, Mavericks and Warriors are three of the representatives.
Among them, the Mavericks are good at running and shooting, but this season they have reduced their speed, focused on defense, and have also fallen into positional battles a lot of times. The Warriors are most fond of counter-attacking defense, and they have a strong ability to score in offensive and defensive transitions. The Suns, on the other hand, have a particularly fast offensive pace, with three-point shooting and fast-paced offense.
The Warriors won the championship last season, which is the first small-ball team in history to win the championship, but the problem is that the Warriors are not pure small-ball, the Warriors have a lot of positional offense, and the Warriors' positional offensive scoring ranks among the top in the league, so there are also many experts who do not recognize that the Warriors are a small-ball team, nor do they admit that small-ball teams can win the championship.
But the Suns, who are purely small-ball teams, have a low percentage of their total points scored, and more often than not, they rely on fast breaks and full-court offense to break down the opponent's defense.
Many fans see the matchup between the two teams as a matchup between two teams in today's era.
It is regarded as a duel of whose offensive firepower is the first.
