Chapter 54: Appearance
The 76ers lost a number of players in the summer, but with Iverson here, they will always be the strongest team in the East. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In comparison, the Heat are obviously much more immature.
Wade was full of fighting spirit, scoring 8 points on 4-of-6 shooting in the first quarter, and Iverson scoring 9 points on 4-of-8 shooting, and the matchup between the two No. 3s was exciting enough.
At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers had a five-point lead at 24-19.
Yang Di's heels trembled, and his drooping head suddenly lifted.
"Young, you're playing in the second quarter." Stan Van Gundy said to Jandy.
"Okay, no problem." Yang Di was overjoyed that he could finally complete the main quest.
During each break, the cheerleaders ran out to do enthusiastic dancing, and more than a dozen enthusiastic Philadelphia girls wore bandeau skirts, waved colorful balls in their hands, and performed difficult gymnastics, showing their wonderful figures and full of youthful atmosphere.
"Wow, I like that girl." Wade, who was off the field, snorted, Yang Di looked over, they kept changing positions, who knows which cheerleader girl he was talking about?
"Toot ~" The sound of the scene sounded, and the players on both sides returned to the field.
Heat: Alstom, Eddie Jones, John Wallace, Malik Allen and Jandy. 76ers: Snow, Willie Green, Aaron McGee, Kenny Thomas and Mark Jackson.
Yang Di confronted Mark Jackson.
The 28-year-old Mark Jackson was the ninth pick in the second round in '97, he was 2.08 meters tall and played as a power forward. The NBA also has his namesake player, Mark Jackson, who currently plays guard in Houston and is exactly ten years his senior.
The bald-headed black man looked somewhat athletic, and his height and weight were similar to Yang Di's.
He was a little silent, after Yang Di came on the court, he just glanced at Yang Di and didn't speak, and he probably knew in his heart that this guy was a rookie.
And Yang Di would not speak by himself, and when he saw that the other party did not speak, he also sullenly did not speak.
It's here!
At the same time, the game was broadcast, and the fans who followed Yang Di sat up straight. Local Chinese fans in Miami, supporters from far away China, and most importantly family and friends all stared at the TV screen, unable to take their eyes off each detail, for fear of missing every detail of Yang Di's appearance.
The Heat serve, Alston advances across the halfcourt.
Yang Di hid in the three-second bottom line, Alston and Marik played a blocking and dismantling attack, blocking Snow, the 76ers chose to change defenses, Alston passed the ball back to Malik, and Marik faced Snow in a high position.
"It's misplaced, but it's not in a good location." Yang Di thought to himself, and then prepared to go around to see if there was any chance.
Malik handed a hand-to-hand pass to Eddie Jones on the other side, and then Eddie Jones received the ball and went inside to kill, just as Jandy bypassed and opened up space for Eddie Jones.
Eddie Jones made a layup before Mark Jackson could make up for it, and the Heat trailed the 76ers 21-24.
Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines was slightly stunned, was this guy lucky or did he see through the tactics? If you just instinctively choose to leave the position, it seems like a good ball.
The 76ers attacked, Snow passed to Willie Green, the 193cm Willie Green is a shooting guard, physically strong, good at shooting, but has never been good at breaking through. Then it was transferred to small forward Aaron McGee, who is unknown, is a role player, from 94 years into the league to now, has a career of nearly 10 years, is experienced, good at scoring, especially in the past two years, the three-point shooting rate has skyrocketed, hovering around 4 percent.
Seeing John Wallace, who was one step behind him in defense, Aaron McGee directly chose to shoot a three-pointer.
The 76ers led the Heat 27-21.
Offense and defense switched, Yang Di came out to block Alston, the wing arranged for Eddie Jones to run, ran out of the three-point line after going around the basket, and Marik gave Eddie Jones a no-ball cover.
Eddie Jones had a one-second lead when he received the ball, and after playing a time difference, he stepped inside and Yang Di followed suit, and there were defenders between the two, Jones chose a stop-and-go jumper on the run, and McGee sealed it in his face.
The shot missed, and the rebound bounced out.
Yang Di and Mark Jackson were stuck together, and Mark Jackson deeply felt the powerful power contained in the body of the young man next to him, as if he was a brute bull.
"How did this young man train his body!"
The rebound ball flew to Mark Jackson's right side, although Yang Di had great strength, but he did not have the ability to squeeze Mark Jackson away in an instant, relying on his weight, Mark Jackson intercepted the ball with one hand, and then leaned to the right a small strip, holding the basketball with both hands to protect the backcourt rebound.
"Oh, alas!" Fans who like Yang Di suddenly sighed, and they hoped that Yang Di would grab every rebound.
Yang Di thought the same way, and when he turned back to defend, he squeezed Mark Jackson away and grabbed a backcourt rebound, which was the first positive stat of his career.
Both teams' substitutes were not feeling good and the attacking tempo was a bit slow.
Eddie Jones, who grabbed the game's highest rebound in the first quarter, then missed the second ball after the second quarter, which was still a low-flat arc basketball, which bounced far.
Yang Di's eyes were quick, and he slammed the ground and hit the rebound in the scramble with Mark Jackson.
Then he flipped his wrist and turned the racket outward.
Alstom, who stepped on the logo, grabbed the rebound, but he did not rush to attack, but patiently held the ball to the side, pushed his hand, and signaled to slow down.
"Yes, I know how to control the pace." Van Gundy nodded in satisfaction on the sidelines, Alston was quite solid, and if it weren't for the Heat's enough ball handlers, he could even try to play as a starter.
Alston hit a pass to Marik, who singled out Kenny Thomas in the elbow zone.
Holding the ball in both hands and threatening it, he made a shooting feint and then broke through with his head down, his hands spread over his two big elbows, sharply reflecting his danger.
Throw, miss.
Mark Jackson and Yang Di jumped up with a shout at the same time, Yang Di's bounce speed was faster and better, and his arms were obviously more than Mark Jackson, grabbing the rebound before the latter, and holding it firmly with both hands.
Then Yang Di grabbed the basketball with both hands and smashed it on the ground, bounced it up and jumped in a step.
"Don't think about buckle!" Mark Jackson and Kenny Thomas jumped up and defended at the same time.
Yang Di was also horizontal, jumping up regardless of it, three people in the air confronted, Yang Di was hit and staggered backwards, the basketball was not held steady, and flew out.
"Toot, 76ers foul." The referee blew for a defensive foul on the 76ers.
The scene immediately booed.
When Yang Di walked to the free throw line, the boos were even louder, and many people recognized him as the second-round Chinese player who made headlines not long ago.
"This is the NBA, every score is never easy, even if it's a free throw, there are unusual distractions."
Yang Di took the ball from the referee's hand, and the referee made a gesture of two free throws.
Yang Di took a breath and lifted the ball.
1 second.
2 seconds.
…… 5 seconds.
The referee had a black face, and almost couldn't hold back to blow for five seconds, but Yang Di threw the ball out at the critical point, the shooting posture was not standard, the tip of the elbow of his right hand was a little turned outward, and the basketball rolled over, smashing on the front with a "clang".
Yang Di leaned forward and received the basketball that bounced back.
There was a burst of laughter from the scene, and many Philadelphia fans shouted at Yang Di unfriendly: "Go back to China, villain." ”
In the second penalty, Yang Di slapped the ball three times in a row, and his expression was extremely solemn after he lifted it.
"Huh!"
The basketball hollow penetrated the net, the Heat trailed by five points 22-27, and Yang Di scored the first point of his career.
He smiled and high-fived his teammates in celebration, and Wade, Odom and others on the field applauded the little brother on the field, which is really a memorable point.
