Chapter 660: Stalemate II

"Parker is the engine of the Spurs, Manu is the sharp knife of the Spurs, and the most commendable thing is that both of them have a strong sense of the big picture and passing, which drives the overall offense of the Spurs."

Montgomery is full of praise for the Spurs' two outside players, and the trio has become one of the most consistent and hilarious star combinations in the league over the past few years.

The combination of Yang Di and Ray Allen is a little more explosive, and sometimes the output of the two people is seventy or eighty points together.

It was at the peak of these players that the two teams had their own characteristics and could be called a classic matchup.

The offensive efficiency of both sides is very low, but the defense of the fists to the flesh is more eye-catching in such a fierce playoff game, and the fans are fascinated by it.

Yang Di conserved his physical strength and went off the break with more than 3 minutes left in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 21, and in the second half of the second quarter, the scoring efficiency was not even as good as the first half, and if there were no free throws, the two teams might not have added up to 40 points.

The Spurs took away the rhythm, and Yang Di, who was sitting on the court, frowned.

"The Spurs were in the rhythm they liked, but we weren't playing our character, and if that continued, we would be in an awkward position in the second quarter and even in the second half."

Ray Allen shook his head, feeling that something was wrong.

"I'll go up and rush in a while," Yang Di nodded, he had to play more aggressively, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with the Spurs, and he didn't want to lose his home-court advantage in the first game.

At more than 8 minutes in the second quarter, Yang Di rotated normally.

At this time, the Spurs had not yet replaced Duncan on the inside, and after Popovich considered it, he was ready to give Duncan two more minutes of rest, although the point difference did not open at this time, the Spurs took the initiative.

Monta Ellis didn't play well, and under the Spurs' layered defensive formation, his breakthrough was not too bright, and he couldn't shoot on the outside, and he hadn't scored too much so far.

Ellis held up a finger and played point guard for more than half a season, and he is now directing the tactics in a decent way.

The Warriors started to run, Yang Di covered for Danny Granger, Granger came out and took away the Spurs defender, Yang Di moved to the elbow area to receive the ball, and turned to face the Spurs defending his Argentinian player Oberto, who had played against him in the World Championships.

Oberto is deeply loved by Popovich, and due to the Spurs' lack of interior players, a blue-collar player like this who can shoot and pass with small tricks fits the Spurs' team culture.

Oberto is good at defense, but if he wants to defend Yang Di, he still has no bottom in his heart.

Yang Di took a tentative step after receiving the ball, stepped out with his left foot to the right, and then leaned over to accelerate, the movements were concise and clear, but with his super speed, he was still unstoppable.

Oberto moved back, and before he could adjust the small broken steps, Yang Di stepped on the ground, flicked his legs, and the whole person rose from the ground.

The forearms and arms of the ball are at a standard 90 degrees, and the eyes are firmly on the basket, and the ball is gently flicked out.

"Huh!"

Hollow into the net.

The fans applauded.

In fact, after Yang Di tried to take a step, he pretended to break through but stopped the jump shot, but his action rate was fast, and the whole person was like a spring, completing the whole action, and the last shot was very stretched.

Most of the NBA stars have reached the point of simplifying the complex like Yang Di after a few seasons of training, from Abdul-Jabbar to Jordan, from Kobe Bryant Maddy and others to now Yang Di, when the stars reach the peak of their careers, the skills they have will not be too complicated, they are all simple and effective ways like this.

At 31-30, the Warriors led by one point.

Popovich's face is expressionless, Yang Di has scored 7 points, in the new generation of supergiants, Yang Di is the strongest, and now he is the first person in the league, in the era of the rise of the heroes, he is the brightest new star.

Yang Di is still very mature and seems to be short-tempered, but he hardly makes mistakes on the court, and is calmer than some veterans in their 30s.

Offense and defense transition, Spurs guards attack with the ball.

Barry Sr. came off the bench and Ginobili received the ball and broke through, and after the serpentine cut in, it was transferred to him.

Barry's catch-and-shoot jumper at 45 degrees from the three-point line was not an absolute vacancy, but it was unusually resolute, and Danny Granger turned his head to see that the basketball was hollow into the net.

33-31, the Spurs actually scored more three-pointers than the Warriors.

Yang Di received the ball and broke through, directly squeezing out Oberto with super physical fitness, although Oberto is a defensive giant, but his weight is not very high, only about 111 kilograms, and in the absence of strength bonus, the strength is also completely crushed by Yang Di.

Yang Di held the ball, crossed an arc in the air with one arm, shook his wrist, flicked his fingertips, and picked up the basket.

After playing the board, he entered the frame, and when he came up, he scored 4 points in a row.

33-33 tie.

Popovich stood up, Yang Di's consecutive points are not a good sign, if Yang Di scores again, he is ready to make lineup adjustments.

The Spurs missed the attack, and Yang Di grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

Landed, Yang Di dribbled the ball under his crotch, and his body suddenly changed direction, passing Oberto, who was about to delay his dribble.

Yang Di sent the ball forward, followed in one step, and his body suddenly accelerated, like a tank, rumbling and running on the court.

"It's coming, Warrior's fast attack!"

Seeing Yang Di's running, the fans' adrenaline hormones also soared, and when Yang Di passed the half, everyone stared at him, with excitement and fanaticism in their eyes.

The Spurs formation was scattered, and only Ginobili pounced fearlessly, trying to cut off Yang Di's dribble.

"It's so simple!"

Yang Di let out a loud shout, finished his crotch while walking, dodged the left hand stretched out like a Ginobili viper, and the sneaker "smacked" on the floor, making a sharp grinding sound.

Yang Di did not slow down, and the right side rushed into the three-point line, and then in the eyes of everyone, he rose into the air, and raised his arm flat to turn the basketball into a combat axe.

The head is flat, and the arms are smashed down.

"Bang!"

A loud bang overwhelmed all the noisy sounds in the Oracle Arena, and it was transmitted to the ears of all the fans in the world who were following the game through the TV signal.

"Even-bought karma!"

The Warriors bench was boiling, and several lively players, including Louis Williams, raised their palms and patted their heads, attracting the TV camera.

"What does that mean?"

The fans didn't understand at first, but they all reacted immediately, which means that Yang Di's bouncing force flat frame is about to hit his head.

In the NBA, a flat-frame dunk and a dunk without a flat-frame are two different concepts.

Especially for the swing man of the outside line, the flat-frame dunk that can be completed must be the player's special stretch, with enough gliding and stagnation distance in the air.

This time, the flat-framed tomahawk directly ignited the enthusiasm of the Oracle Arena.
