Chapter 358: The Wasp

Oakland Arena, the scene of the Warriors' game. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the rise of the Warriors last year, some businesses wanted to name the arena, and the Warriors had already talked to some businesses at that time, but now, the Warriors are not in a hurry, and are ready to bid for sponsorship on a large scale after this season.

So the name of the stadium is still Auckland Arena, and the fans go to the ignition and enter the familiar stadium in turn.

On the yellow floor, the white jerseys are the Warriors players.

Yang Di stepped on the three-point line to receive the trainer's pass and jumper, and before the game began, he warmed up in this way.

He now prefers to use jump shots to solve battles, compared to the strong hitting under the basket, the jump shot is obviously easier, and after shaking off the opponent with his foot, in fact, the jump shot is not low at all.

Today is a game against the Hornets, Davis's former club.

This is Byron Scott's second season in charge of the Hornets, and the Hornets have made some roster changes, with rookie Chris Paul coming into the starting lineup and becoming the team's new brain.

In addition, JR Smith, who performed well in the second half of last season, continued his starting streak and became the Hornets' scoring guard.

So before the game started, the Hornets lined up PG Chris Paul, SG was JR Smith, SF Posie Jane Naheba, PF David West, and C was PJ Brown.

On the bench, there are Rasol Butler, Desmond Mason, Brandon Bass, Chris Anderson, Bynum and other players with strength or potential.

The Hornets are not weak, but on paper, they have completed the transformation and upgrading after Davis's departure.

Young's good friend Rasol Butler came to the Hornets, and this summer, the Heat reluctantly sent away this outstanding player who was still on the rise in his career in order to get Anthony Walker and "White Chocolate" Jason Williams.

"You're still amazing, and you're an all-star all of a sudden."

Before the game, the two hugged and greeted each other.

Yang Di smiled and said: "The Hornets are also good, you have Chris Paul, he is a very good rookie, James said, the future is at least an All-Star level player." ”

"I hope I can catch up with you." Rasol nodded and replied with a smile.

Yang Di turned around, and then high-fived Paul and hugged him.

Chris Paul always looks sharp, facing Yang Di without any fear: "I have predetermined the victory of this game, and I will penetrate your defense." ”

"Oh? Then I'm going to look forward to it! Yang Di was faintly excited after hearing this, and did not refute Paul's words, he was looking forward to meeting some particularly combative opponents, which would also arouse his fighting spirit.

The game starts with both sides playing jump balls.

Chandler easily jumped to Brown, and Davis advanced with the ball.

Since Chandler came to the Warriors, the jump ball has been in the hands of Chandler, and with his excellent jump, height and reach, few people have been able to beat him in this regard.

The competition has officially begun.

"Block and Demolition No. 4 Tactic!" Davis commanded, drawing four fingers.

Young's pull away to move to the left wing, hemming his hands to provide Dunleavy with off-ball coverage, and Dunleavy twisted away from Persian Jane-Naheba.

Persian Jane Nakhba was a rookie selected by the Rockets with the 15th overall pick in '02 and was traded by the Rockets to the Hornets in the middle of last season. He is 2.06 meters tall and about the same size as Dunleavy, and both are outside shooters with a shooting percentage close to 4 percent. The only difference is that Dunleavy shoots more from the outside, and he is more decisive, and even has made some strong shots, which Persian Jane does not dare to do.

Dunleavy received the ball empty-handed, dribbled to the halfway line, and then saw that PJ Brown didn't save to make up for the defense, and he shot straight away.

Mid-range pull-up jump shot, hit!

Yang Di has already dismantled the down, and this ball Dunleavy is also a good opportunity for Yang Di, Yang Di has the ability to directly impact the basket.

Hornets attack.

Chris Paul, who is 1.83m, is the star player of Wake Forest, and in March Madness, Chris Paul scored a total of 51 points against Virginia and Manhattan, and although he lost to Jamal Nelson's St. Joy University, Paul's strength has been recognized.

After a month in the NBA, Paul quickly adapted to the rhythm of the game, where he encountered more pick-and-roll offense, passed more easily than in college, he had more offensive options, and how to mobilize his teammates to attack became the first skill he had to learn.

Outside the three-point line, Paul beckoned PJ Brown to come out and block the pick-and-roll.

PJ Brown is 36 years old, and when he played the playoffs against the Heat in the first two years, he was still at the peak of his career, and this season has obviously been much slower.

But the body is still very strong, and after blocking and dismantling with Paul, he turned around and stuck the slightly thin Chandler, and went deep inside.

Paul didn't give the ball and made a backdribble of his own to avoid Derek Fisher's takeout.

Chris Paul changed direction early, stepped out of his right foot to the left, shook off Fisher in a position, and the pass was steady and fast.

"So fast!"

Fisher was shocked that the rookie was fast and had a low center of gravity, and that he was about his height but couldn't even touch the rim.

The basketball was like sticking to Paul's hands, Paul controlled the ball with his left hand to break through, and Yang Di saved it for the first time.

As soon as he moved his foot out of the box, Paul passed the ball and slammed his hands together to distribute the ball to David West, who was moving up.

David West catches the ball and makes a straight-arm jumper with a slight hint of leaning back.

"Huh!" It's also accurate into the frame.

Yang Di was also surprised, Paul was very fast, not dragging the ball at all, the key was the pass to David West at the free throw line, which obviously had a hint of advance, and he had already understood the true meaning of such a pass at this time?

Byron Davis and others are surging with interest, as if the rookie is a little interesting?

After halftime, Yang Di took the initiative to ask for the ball, and in the elbow position, Yang Di received the ball and posed as a triple threat, and it was David West who defended him.

West stayed up for two years, and in the summer offseason, he finally beat all opponents, conquered Coach Scott, and became the starting power forward for the Hornets.

Defensively and defensively, he was very focused.

It's just that Yang Di's offensive style is like an outside player, the three threats are raised, and he can't help but feel like he wants to step back.

Compared with everyone's thoughts today, they still stay on the picture of Yang Di's various violent deductions, and they have never paid enough attention to CIC .
