Chapter 258: Thoughts

At the beginning of the season, it was thought that it would be difficult for Yang Di to return to the level of last season. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Later, Yang Di used the terrifying data of "20+20" to respond to all doubts, ranking first in the league in the number of rebounds and becoming a new generation of rebounding beasts.

Later, some people said that Yang Di would only grab rebounds, the offensive end was a mess, and he might just be a rough brother after ten years, and the highest development in the future would be at best a poor man's version of Rodman.

As a result, Yang Di slowly developed a combination of open mid-range shots, secondary offenses under the basket, breakthrough layups, and even today's burst shots.

As Zhang Weiping said, "It's hard to define Yang Di as a pure blue-collar, defensive player, he is only 20 years old this year, he already has a top-notch body, but he is still improving." While mastering various skills, he gradually learned to read and control the game. ”

After seeing Yang Di easily hit this mid-range shot, Kidd couldn't help but look at Yang Di twice.

This season, he was very disappointed with the Nets, especially after O'Neal traveled east to the Heat, partnered with Wade, the Heat became the top team in the East again, and the record was firmly in first place, and it was really difficult for him to convince himself that in the playoffs, with the combination of him, Carter and Jefferson, he would definitely beat the Heat.

To be exact, it should be eighty percent that can't beat the Heat, and the inside line is an eternal hard wound.

He's a point guard, and he knows a lot better than the team's management about how to get a win, and he also understands that the combination of inside and outside is the royal combination that has been proven over the years, not the current backcourt, which is just playing well, but actually not very competitive.

Compared with today's Carter, the high-spirited white No. 8, young and full of fighting spirit, talented and with unlimited potential, is the object he desires more for a partner.

"It's a rebounding and defensive enhancement version of Kenyon Martin!" Just looking at Yang Di's current ability, Kidd doesn't think Yang Di is worse than Kenyon Martin, and if he can deliver cannonballs for him, averaging 20 points per game is not too difficult.

And if the Nets have Yang Di on the inside, even the top centers in the East such as O'Neal will be limited to a certain extent, and the Nets will regain the strength to fight.

Kidd admired Youngdy's defensive attitude, and when he dribbled past half the court, he saw Youngdy stuck with Kostic and kept making small moves.

He tried to get a Kostic pick-and-roll on the outside, and after blocking it, he went to the right.

Sure enough, Yang Di's footsteps moved quickly, he stretched out his hand to press down, and the whole person pounced viciously, resisting him and not letting him dribble easily, and the other hand was constantly harassing.

Kidd turned around to pull the ball and was forced to move slightly away from Yang Di, who didn't chase after him, and immediately turned around to pass to Kostic's passing route, and Fisher then arrived, and the two completed the rotation defense to disrupt the Nets' offense.

"Sure enough, the defense is very good!" Kidd secretly praised in his heart, thinking that if he talked to the management and used Carter or Jefferson to trade Yang Di, he didn't know if he could succeed.

The thought turned in his head, but the movements in his hands were not slow, a familiar red figure flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he immediately subconsciously hit the ground and divided the ball.

Carter took the ball to close his body, dribbled two steps in the opposite direction, and jumped to shoot.

Hit! At 19-16, the Nets still led by three points.

Richardson almost didn't brake the car because of his physical inertia, and there was a big problem with the defense, giving Carter plenty of space to shoot.

Looking back, Richardson wanted to return one, but after singled out Carter, he made a dribble error, and the basketball smashed on his feet and flew out of the bottom line, giving up a wave of ball possession.

Zhang Weiping shouted: "This ball is very unreasonable, this ball Richardson shouldn't play by himself, Yang Di is in place in a very deep position on the inside, this ball should be passed to Yang Di." ”

"The Warriors don't have firepower on the outside, but Yang Di is in good shape, and this ball should be handled by Yang Di first." Yang Jian also echoed, and the two are now like Yang Di's fans.

Many fans who don't understand NBA basketball culture naturally believe the words of the commentator, in fact, in the NBA, this kind of ball is taken for granted, there is no other reason, or reasonable tactical choice, Richardson is the boss of the Warriors today, if he wants to return a ball, then he has to pass the ball to him, of course.

Kostic passes to Rodney Buford, who misses a three-point jumper.

Yang Di grabbed the rebound and advanced, Fisher and Murphy played a simple small match, Murphy dribbled and broke through, and the defense went to the basket crookedly and missed.

The two sides entered a situation where they attacked each other and missed, and the score did not rise for half a day.

It stands to reason that the Nets' offense should be a little more complex than the Warriors, but they lack a top-level interior line, and their blocking and dismantling effect is average, even if the blocking and dismantling is out of space, Kostic and Scala Bryan are both people who have no finishing ability, and in most cases, either directly transfer the ball, or the ball carrier single-block cover shot, which is actually easier than the Warriors.

Both sides were simple offenses, a waste of Kidd's ability as a master passer.

Towards the end of the first quarter, Richardson and Yang Di were replaced together, and the Nets replaced Carter, and the two sides entered the lineup rotation stage.

Yang Di had 10 points and 4 rebounds in the first quarter, the highest score in the game so far.

That's the way it is in the NBA, where scoring is far more appealing than anything else, with the audience shouting Yang Di's name and thunderous applause when they leave the game.

"The Serbs have nothing to do with you." Salmons and others high-fived Yang Di, Yang Di sat down to rest, and Petrus and veteran Dale Davis were replaced on the court.

"It's just a rookie after all." Yang Di shrugged his shoulders, feeling that there was nothing special to be proud of in defeating this rookie.

"The other side is still ahead of us, so we can't be careless." Richardson kept a straight face and spoke very seriously.

Yang Di looked at Richardson with surprised eyes, and didn't speak again, thinking that maybe he was still on fire with Carter, and today's game was weird.

Seeing that the two bigwigs stopped talking, Salmons and the others also kept silent.

It wasn't long before Montgomery brought Salmons on the pitch to replace Fisher.

At this time, the Nets under the leadership of Kidd suddenly came to the touch, and they were full of firepower, scoring 5 points in a row to help the Nets lead by 7 points, so that Montgomery immediately called a timeout to interrupt.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets led the Warriors by five points, 29-24.

Carter was particularly embarrassed to go off the court, and without him, Kidd led the Nets' second team to play an efficient offense, and the players seemed more comfortable and more accustomed to playing under Kidd. Comparing the two, it seems that no matter how many points he cuts, he is just brushing it out.

He recalled Richardson's sentence "The Nets are no better than you", and he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
