Chapter 570: Dream Footsteps
T.J. Ford dribbles across the halfcourt.
Last season, in the Raptors, TJ Ford averaged 29.9 minutes per game, averaging 14 points, 7.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game, steadily entering the level of qualified starters in the league.
It's not unreasonable for the Raptors to see TJ Ford as an important player in the future rebuilding road.
TJ Ford raised his arms and motioned for the rest of the Raptors to pull away, and then played pick-and-roll with Chris Bosh in the high post.
Chris Bosh was mediocre in his pick-and-roll effect, and Byron Davis easily kept up with T.J. Ford.
TJ Ford hoisted the ball, Chris Bosh received the ball at the elbow area, stood with his feet apart, and faced Yang Di.
Faceframe Attack!
Chris Bosh is the representative of the new era of offensive interior line, in addition to him, the Suns' Amare Stoudemire is also such a player, and the face frame also occupies a large part of Youngdy's offensive selection, which is also the development trend since modern basketball.
Chris Bosh tentatively stepped and then immediately stepped out with his right foot to break through like a small forward.
The little head of the dirty pigtail swung and made a feint, which was very fast.
Yang Di adjusted the defense in small steps, and his arms were spread out, enveloping Chris Bosh, although the arm span was not the longest, but it was full of pressure.
Chris Bosh turned his back and then held the ball in his left hand, took a big step outside, and shot half-back.
Yang Di stepped on the ground with both legs, jumped decisively to block, and defended very actively.
The general inside line was so abrupt by Bosh, and he turned around and retreated, but Yang Di kept up with him, and covered him with his big hands.
Boshkan shoots with his hand, and the shot arc is very high.
Yang Di almost touched the tips of Bosh's fingers, and the Raptors fans exclaimed, Bosh is under a lot of pressure to shoot, right?
"Huh!"
Bosh, however, was under the strict defense of Yang Di and hit this shot that seemed to be very difficult.
"Drink!"
Bosh roared and clenched his fists to cheer himself up, this is the first time that he and the warriors have fought with Yang Di so many times, and it seems that today's hand is not bad.
Yang Di squinted, this guy Bosh ......
When playing against the American team, Bosh basically didn't play much because of defense or fame and status, in fact, this guy has gradually developed the basic qualities of an All-Star inside.
Switching offense and defense, Byron Davis possessed the ball through half court.
After crossing the halfway line, Yang Di came out to block for Byron Davis, who changed his right hand to control the ball with his left hand and broke through from Yang Di's left side.
"Bang!"
TJ Ford was blocked tightly by Youngdy, and Chris Bosh switched to Byron Davis.
Byron Davis faced the "Dragon King", changed direction in front of his body, and after two consecutive changes of direction, his left hand pretended to accelerate and lean over to break through, and suddenly his body slammed into it, and he pulled it up and threw it.
Yang Di turned and walked inside, and Byron Davis shot in a flat arc.
Yang Di and Chris Bosh and Nesterovic were entangled together, the rebound bounced, he sank down and stepped down, and then suddenly exerted his strength, his arm jumped out, and he desperately squeezed Nesterovic away.
Jump and pick up the rebound in the air.
"Be careful of Yang Di's frontcourt rebounds!"
Sam Mitchell, the head coach of the Raptors, stood up anxiously, frowning and worried.
Yang Di grabbed the rebound, like a beast breaking free from the chains, grabbed the basketball with both hands, dribbled on the ground, knocked Chris Bosh sideways, and then rhythmically raised his hand to feign shooting.
Nesterovich and Bosh were so shaken that they didn't dare to jump, and Yang Di stepped on the floor and flew up like a rocket.
"Bang!"
The basket simply made a heavy dunk, and the basket swayed.
The other players of the Warriors have begun to retreat, and every time Yang Di grabs the rebound in the frontcourt, the success rate of Yang Di's independent offense is very high, and they have inexplicably formed such an awareness.
Raptors offense, TJ Ford dribbles.
TJ Ford was fast, facing Byron Davis, leisurely, accelerating in a straight line, covering his head in.
Chris Bosh still floated out, and in the elbow area, received TJ's breakaway ball, and then Bosh continued to transfer the ball to Anthony Parker on the wing.
Anthony Parker, the 21st pick in the first round in '97, was a good 3-pointer and defensive player, and he made a name for himself in the NBA in the first few years of his career, before Anthony Parker left the NBA to hone himself on the European stage, and only returned to the NBA this summer, signing with the Raptors as a free agent.
At this time, he was already 31 years old.
After playing in Europe, Anthony Parker has developed into a good team player.
Chris Bosh's split ball created a breakthrough for him, and Anthony Parker stepped inside against Danny Granger who was returning to the defense.
It didn't take two steps before the ball was distributed to the top of the arc.
At the top of the arc, Fred Jones came over and caught the ball.
Then he caught the ball and shot, and the '02 draft player was known for his good shooting, and from the three-point line, he jumped high.
"Bell!"
The ball missed, and Tyson Chandler protected the backcourt rebound.
Not all tactics are played out, players can seize opportunities, and the reason why stars are stars is that their ability to grasp opportunities is much higher than that of ordinary players.
A few rounds later, Yang Di and Ray Allen made outside blocks.
Ray Allen dribbled through and encountered the Raptors' tight marking, Ray Allen hit the ground and gave it to Yang Di, who dribbled with his low hand and had the opportunity to directly impact the basket.
Nesterovic went online in advance to supplement Yang Di, and Yang Di dribbled to face the tall Nesterovich.
His shoulders trembled, and he couldn't see the specific offensive defense, and then suddenly stepped on the right step forward with his right foot during the movement, as if he was about to break through to the right.
Nesterovich's body subconsciously moved to the same side as Yang Di, but at this moment, he saw Yang Di like a gust of wind.
Yang Di's left foot moved horizontally, and the whole person exerted force along the central axis of his left foot, and his body rotated 360 degrees, quickly pulling away the two positions with Nesterovich.
Yang Di put his feet on the ground, and jumped up on the floor suddenly.
In the air, his waist and abdomen were straightened, and his hands smashed into the frame.
turned around and dunked beautifully, Nesterovic stood in place, dumbfounded, he was like a stake without power, Yang Di was in front of him, and he simply regarded defense as nothing.
In the first quarter of the game alone, Yang Di had already dunked 3 times, catching up with his average number of dunks every night.
"It is said that Yang Di is very good at shooting, but I prefer his dunks, his dunks, powerful and heavy, every ball is classic and beautiful, there is no reluctance."
Charles Barkley, smiling and praising Yang Di, compared with Bosh, it is obvious that Yang Di is more in line with his appetite and basketball philosophy.
