NBA villain

Chapter 104

Yang Di stood at the free throw line, and the target center was full of boos.

Garnett is the pride of this city, this damn rookie dared to conflict with Garnett, why should he?The fans grew angrier and booed him deafeningly.

Yang Di calmed down, raised his hand for a free throw, and his shooting movements were extremely gentle.

"clang!"

The basketball hit the front and bounced forward, and Yang Di happened to catch the bounced basketball by himself.

Then the fans in the Target Center were happy, and the audience burst into applause and cheers, which were even more enthusiastic than the Timberwolves scoring a goal.

"It's a terrible free throw, like a pile of shit." Garnett is still chattering next to Yang Di. He has recovered his composure, but he is still spouting trash.

Yang Di snorted, resisting the urge to punch him, and after halftime, went to the high position to set a pick and roll for Wade.

……

Yang Di feels that he has the tendency to become a talker, but in terms of strength, he really can't beat the Timberwolves, especially when the Heat are still playing back-to-back games, their strength is even more discounted.

Even if the Timberwolves feel average, the two teams still opened up a gap of nearly 10 points by the end of halftime.

This point difference is big enough. Both teams are teams with a relatively slow offensive rhythm. If they score 10 points, it will take a long time to catch up.

Garnett has long hands and feet, a wide defensive range, and a flexible body, not afraid of confrontation, capable of both inside and outside. In short, compared to Yang Di, he is simply a monster.Yang Di doesn't adapt to his defense, and the defensive end can play a very limited role, not as strong as defending against O'Neal at that time.

Before halftime, Yang Di and Grant shared the playing time in the first half. Garnett scored a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. He also had 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. At halftime, he was very active.

Yang Di was relatively shabby. He played 11 minutes and only scored 2 points and 2 rebounds. Compared with the previous data, it has obviously shrunk a lot.

In the second half, the Heat team became even weaker.

Yang Di still has plenty of physical strength, but his playing time is limited. After Grant hit a few goals, Stan Van Gundy relied on this veteran even more, and Yang Di was forgotten in Java!

At the same time, in distant China, some fans watched the live broadcast of the court game.

Recently, the number of broadcasts by the Heat has skyrocketed. As long as there is no Rockets game that day, the court will basically broadcast the Heat's games as much as possible, unless the Lakers vs. Spurs, Pacers vs. Pistons and other focus games are held at the same time.

"I feel that Yang Di has been pitted by the Heat. If he enters a weak team, he should be able to start." Some fans are dissatisfied with Yang Di's shrinking playing time.

"If it is converted into 36 minutes of game time, Yang Di's number of rebounds can be ranked among the top three in the league, and he might even become the rebounding leader."

"If he really becomes the rebounding leader, then I will definitely vote him into the All-Star every minute."

"That's right, the last time I read the news, Yang Di didn't get a lot of votes in the first round. It might be difficult to be selected for this year's All-Star. Otherwise, there would be a Chinese player in the east and west. That would be a great picture."

The fans talked a lot, and some even talked about the national team.

"The new national team training list has also been released. For this year's Athens Olympics, it is obviously much earlier than in previous years, but there is no Yang Di's name in it? I really don't know what the management of the National Basketball Association thinks. Sexually forgetting such an excellent player?"

How did they know that Yang Di is a god-man who is really out of the management system, a hero who doesn't care about anything, who doesn't pay money and doesn't make friends, has long been a thorn in the eyes of some people. The key is that his success story is legendary. The color seems to be reproducible. If it is publicized, once this example is opened, I don’t know how many people will bypass the control, and I don’t know how much profit will be lost.

……

In the end, the Timberwolves beat the Heat 97 to 79. Yang Di played 22 minutes and scored 2 points and 4 rebounds. His performance was very poor, but Garnett scored 25 points and 15 rebounds while talking trash with Yang Di. The large double-double data is basically above his season average.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the instant task, trash talk is a big challenge."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting the player card pack from the 90s, do you want to use it now?"

Yang Di walked into the player tunnel silently, and secretly opened the card pack.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting the template training card - Vlad Divac (94-95 season)"

"A-level star!" Yang Di clenched his fist and almost yelled excitedly. He thought that in such a large area, he would be very happy to draw a B-level star at most, but he didn't expect to get an A-level star.

Divac, he knows this player. He met him last time when he played against the Kings. He didn't expect to have A-level strength in his peak period.Yang Di thought about it again, but this big white man doesn't seem to see anything particularly powerful, and doesn't it conflict with his usual mighty and domineering style?

In the team's locker room, Yang Di miraculously closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

Wade gave Yang Di a strange look. He found that Yang Di always had this habit. Either after a game or during training, he would always close his eyes and rest, saying that he was tired, but he was obviously not tired, and he didn’t know that. What a special hobby.

In the training space, Yang Di opened the template of Divac (94-95 season).

Sure enough, his training is also divided into many parts. This guy is like a panacea. He has too many outstanding skills. Pass the ball inside and outside, don't look at people hitting the ground, etc. Yang Di can see that this guy's offensive skills have been in passing the ball all his life. If he gets this true pass, can he be like Garnett?

When he thought of Garnett's special high-position support in today's game, he did a perfect job of grasping the point of personal offense and team connection, and he was very envious.

Divac's defensive training includes two, one is the backcourt rebound competition training, and the other is the training of making offensive fouls.

Yang Di's eyes lit up, making an offensive foul?This is not bad. Garnett has attacked him head-on several times in this game. If he takes advantage of the trend and falls one, oops, why didn't he expect it!What a pity!

……

The Heat's disastrous defeat in Minnesota was expected by experts or TV commentators. The tidbits on the court were all about Garnett eating a T. It was absolutely unexpected for a rookie to be able to talk trash with the Wolf King.

What Yang Di didn't expect was that his gradually formed style has gained a group of fans, some even retired, and NBA stars who occasionally serve as TV commentators also expressed their love for Yang Di.

Like Dennis Rodman.

The experiences of the two are very similar. After graduating from high school, Rodman worked as a night watchman at the Dallas Airport. Before Yang Di entered the NBA, he was a professional chef. Rodman was selected in the second round, and so was Yang Di. Rodman did not understand Offensively, he can only grab rebounds and is very good at rebounding. Yang Di is also famous for being able to grab rebounds.

And both of them are also the kind of players with constant negative news, going to nightclubs, fighting, gossip, rumors of gangsters...

Rodman expressed his support for Yang Di in a timely manner: "He is that style of player. I think his proletarian basketball practice is very good. I like him. He is full of energy on the court. I feel that the country that can cultivate such outstanding basketball players should be very amazing, and I will visit it when I have time."
