Chapter 770: The Big Three II
The Cavaliers still handed over to James to handle the ball, James went to the low post to single, Yang Di came around to wrap him, he chose to pass the ball outside, and after the Cavaliers guided the ball a few times, Gibson made a three-point shot from the outside.
"Bell!"
The basketball hit the hoop and bounced high.
When a black shadow bounced up with the basketball, it jumped up with lightning speed, and roared angrily in the air, "I'm coming!" ”
"Smack!"
Yang Di grabbed the rebound with his long arms, put the basketball together with both hands, and landed on the ground.
Turned around and launched a fast attack, everyone in the Warriors team ran, Yang Di sent the ball forward, and then followed in one step, the whole person accelerated, and soon rushed through the half.
Yang Di leaned over and rushed in, immediately attracting a lot of attention.
But at this time, he threw it out, and Ray Allen just came to the three-point line a little bit, grabbed the basketball from Yang Di, stood on tiptoe, and quickly shot a three-point shot to chase him.
"Bell!"
It was also off, Yang Di was stuck by Gooden and James, and Larry Hughes flew to grab the rebound.
……
"After the opening, maybe it was the initial agreement or something, the Warriors' Big Three actually shot once, Ray Allen's opportunity is good, but the shooting options are actually average, but this is the NBA's superstar, and the shot is a good shot." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.
At this point, the game between the Rockets and Lakers is completely over.
Yu Jia said with a smile: "On another court, the Rockets lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 93-97, and lost the home opener of the new season. On the Rockets' side, Yao Ming scored a team-high 31 points and 9 rebounds, Maddy contributed 19 points and 9 assists, while on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant scored 25 points and Garnett scored 22 points, and the newly formed KK team defeated Houston's MM team. ”
"The Lakers are really different, as soon as Garnett came, the whole triangle offense came alive, and he brought the organization, defense and fighting spirit that the Lakers needed most, and the Lakers became the favorites to win the NBA."
The Warriors and Cavaliers are actually the final game, and in addition to the end of the game between the Lakers and Rockets, there is also the game between the Trail Blazers and Spurs.
The Trail Blazers are in the spotlight, and in this year's draft year, they drafted a talented center with Greg Oden in a combination of Youngdy, Olajuwon and Ewing.
In order to make room for Greg Oden, the Trail Blazers did not hesitate to send away the team's "20+10" interior Zach Randolph, because Randolph has not been able to lead the team to victory for so many years in addition to good statistics, and looks more like a data brush.
As a result, in the summer, Greg Oden suddenly experienced knee pain while on vacation, and then developed swelling, and during the examination, it was found that the cartilage was damaged, and surgery was the only option. On September 15, Oden underwent minimally invasive surgery on his right knee and needed to recuperate for 6-12 months, missing the entire season.
The league arranged a match for the coronation of a rising star, but it ended up in the soup.
The Trail Blazers can only rely on Brandon Roy as they did last season, in addition to Tyrus Thomas, who was drafted with the fourth pick in the first round last year, and other young players to face the Spurs.
The Spurs recruited Stephen Jackson in the offseason, Stephen Jackson is 29 years old and is at the peak of his career, after the Pacers decided to rebuild, he has no future direction, just at this time the Spurs threw an olive branch to him, coupled with the Spurs' Popovich's convincing basketball culture, Stephen Jackson took a pay cut to sign with the Spurs, and decided to hit a championship while he was still in his prime.
The Spurs have added a wing for no reason, which has greatly enriched the team's tactical system.
What's even more satisfying for Popovich is that Ginobili can safely lead the bench at this time, and Ginobili will play the same amount of time as Jackson, and in about 25 minutes, the two can play the maximum attack power of the Spurs' flanks.
The Spurs played at home, beating the Trail Blazers 106-97, and Roy scored a game-high 29 points, even if Bowen, Jackson and others took turns, but they couldn't limit this player who was only a sophomore.
"Excellent, Brandon Roy."
After the game, Popovich did not hesitate to express his praise and affection for Roy, "This is a very calm player, he is always able to make the right shots, he has a high basketball IQ, rhythm control and mid-range jumpers are among the best in the league." ”
Roy was named Rookie of the Year last season and has shown great individual ability since the beginning of this season.
……
James Cavaliers performed very well, and after knowing the opening game against the Warriors, he held his breath to prove himself in a duel.
In the first quarter, he scored 11 points through back-to-back shots, mid-range shots and three-pointers, while on the Warriors' side, Ray Allen only had 3 points, Byron Davis had 5 points, and Young Dee had 8 points.
The Warriors led the Cavaliers by just two points at 24-22 in the first quarter.
Al Harrington led the Cavaliers off the bench after the Cavaliers came off the bench, Al Harrington performed eye-catchingly, in the Oracle Arena, it seems to have found the crosshairs of the new season, not only the emergency stop mid-range jumper, but also grabbed the rebound in the front court, and the rebound was successful, and the super athleticism of the No. 3 and No. 4 position was reflected.
In this league, any star who can play both the No. 3 and No. 4 positions is usually not far from being physical.
And Al Harrington's three-point shot is still very accurate, in the past two seasons, the three-point shooting rate can be guaranteed to fluctuate around 40 percent, which can be called a sharpshooter on the front line, and it complements James even better.
"It's a good deal."
Zhang Weiping commented: "In fact, Yang Di, like James, is the kind of teammate who needs to be able to open up space and give them enough space to play their singles or breakthrough advantages. ”
On the Warriors' side, Monta Ellis and others don't seem to have recovered from their vacations, especially Monta, who came up and played three irons in a row, didn't pass the ball, and wasted the opportunity if he couldn't shoot, and was immediately overtaken by the Cavaliers as soon as he came and went, leading the Warriors by 5 points 37-32.
Montgomery doesn't want to replace Yang Di if he can't come up, one of his current ideas is to use other players to solve the game, and resolutely not waste Yang Di's physical strength, Yang Di is the real core of the Warriors to win the championship, the win or loss of one or two games in the regular season has nothing to do with the overall situation, and the playoffs are the real stage.
So he put in a squad and replaced him with Louis Williams and Monta Ellis.
But the real effect is still not good, during training, Lu Wei can be five or five with Monta, but in the game, the two are not compatible at all, there is no ball in hand, I don't know what to do, as soon as I get the ball, my desire to attack the basket, but I can't contain it.
Coupled with Yang Di's absence, everyone wants to brush up on more good data, and the style of play is so difficult to easily reverse.
