May 9, Utah.

The Warriors have been training for a day in Salt Lake City, adapting to the city on the plateau.

It has a temperate continental climate, with low temperatures all year round, but fortunately it is May and the players are basically able to adapt to the climate quickly.

The fact that players in the NBA are physically fit doesn't mean they're invincible.

Irrigated agriculture developed in the river valley region, the Mississippi River ran through the entire state, and lakes of all sizes fed the Mississippi River like natural reservoirs.

The style of the ball here is the same as the folk style here, and it is incomparably strong.

Basketball is the pride of Salt Lake City, and despite not winning the championship, the Jazz have been among the top teams in the NBA for the past few decades.

The Warriors have won two in a row, but it won't be easy to get a win in Salt Lake City.

"It was already hard in the second game," Yang Di said on the training ground.

Ray Allen nodded, "Brewer's defense is a bit good, the whole Jazz defense is like an iron plate, if it weren't for the slightly worse talent on the inside, I think they might be more difficult to knock down, at least not the kind of team that can fall down at the first touch." ”

"It's always the last few minutes, and the last game, too, and the last two minutes to decide the winner."

"It's still that ball you passed well, we all thought you would play by yourself, I didn't want to hit you and actually passed the ball to Danny behind your back, Danny is also a big heart, and he actually threw it." Ray Allen said with a grin.

Yang Di thought that Ray Allen was to blame him for not passing the last ball to him, afraid that he would have a mustard in his heart, so he quickly explained: "Actually, the arm is put in the back, in fact, I can't adjust it, just a pass from behind, the element of luck is huge, and the bottom corner seems to be more comfortable." ”

"I know, it's like a pass from behind."

"After the Jazz experienced such a time, I guess they don't dare to be too entrapped, even if Kirilienko's defense ability is good, it is always impossible to leak people." Yang Di said with some smugness that he likes the feeling of playing away from home, and today in Salt Lake City, he was already very excited before the game even started.

The semi-finals in the East and West were more attractive than the first round, with a smaller stage and a higher stage.

Every game is the focus of attention, and the NBA staggers the timing of each game to get the most viewership for the NBA.

NBA ratings, for the world.

Compared with football, basketball pays more attention to individual ability, small groups of 5 people, sometimes the ability of individual soldiers is too prominent, and can even lead a team to a higher level.

Yang Di, James, Jordan and other players are all of this type, as long as there is their team, at least in terms of strength, it will definitely not be too bad, and it will be firmly in the first gear of the NBA.

In the last game, Yang Di carried the aura of winning the MVP and finally helped the Warriors defeat the Jazz 104-101.

In the last 2 minutes and 02 seconds, Yang Di broke through and passed the ball from behind to Danny Granger on the outside, giving the most exciting assist of the game, allowing Danny Granger to shoot to end the whole game.

Although the scoring is high, the Warriors actually rely on defense to win, especially when it comes to critical moments, which is to defend the opponent.

Yang Di scored a game-high 35 points and 17 rebounds, in addition to 8 assists and 4 blocks, he was the figure of the whole court, and he was almost in every shot.

......

Semifinals G3 match, Salt Lake City.

In the first game between the two sides, the Warriors made 46 free throws as a team, of which Yang Di alone made 22 free throws. In the first round of the series between the Rockets and the Jazz, Van Gundy claimed to send the Jazz's game footage to the league for identification to see how dirty the Jazz really were.

In fact, a team like the Jazz, which takes physical confrontation as its own responsibility, may create a large number of ambiguous "edge balls" in the game, and the referee's penalty scale plays a crucial role at this time. In the first round, Maddie also broke into the penalty area countless times and was hit by the opponent's head, but he was not favored by the referee.

And in the second round, Yang Di made Jazz's "dirty" pay the price, and the spell that Jazz used on Maddie in the first round turned into a foul on Yang Di. Yang Di kept hitting the Jazz with breakthroughs and fouls throughout the court, and the actions of the interior players were too obvious, and he was sorry for the boos of the audience if he didn't blow it.

This time back in Salt Lake City, Yang Di was finally treated by Maddie, the whole game was violated by the Jazz team countless times, but he couldn't get a foul, the referee's whistle was not partial, but he chose not to blow the whistle that could be blown or not, and the Jazz team took the lead at the beginning.

Yang Di was angry, and the action on the defensive and offensive ends also increased, and the defense that dragged Okulian down with the ball for the last time was whistled for a technical foul, which almost triggered another clash between the two teams. Yang Di pointed at Boozer and glared at him, if it weren't for Byron and others to stop him, he could beat him to retire directly.

The Warriors' defense turned into a foul in front of the Jazz, but they didn't blow it on the contrary, and under the home whistle, the Jazz devil's home court maximized its utility, if it weren't for shooters such as Ray Allen and Danny Granger and outside three-pointers to hit, the Warriors might have fallen behind by a large margin.

Even so, at the last critical moment, Yang Di's physical confrontation with a layup still made the referee whistle.

Yang Di hit a free throw under the pressure of the whole court to help the Warriors enter overtime.

In overtime, Yang Di turned over and made a jumper, and hit the hook shots one after another, and after the feeling recovered, he didn't go to the basket to fight with the Jazz, and two key goals stopped the Jazz.

DeLong's breakthrough caused Young's fifth foul, but Delong's free throw was deflected.

The Warriors held a three-point lead at crunch time and then took a clear lead for the first time in a hard-fought battle, with Byron unfazed and controlled the tempo.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Jazz 101-97 in overtime to claim the third win of the series.

The Devil's home court was still broken by the Warriors, Yang Di clenched his fists and roared angrily, venting the emotions in his heart.

In the game, the Jazz made 38 free throws, but only hit 20 of them, and the large number of free throws missed was the key reason why the entire Jazz team ultimately lost.
