Chapter 124 Contradictions
The Nets have always been among the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Under the leadership of Kidd, the Nets' Three Musketeers have been rampant on the East Coast for several years. The most glorious time was undoubtedly the first two seasons, when they entered the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years.

Last summer, Kidd rejected the pursuit of his old rival, the Spurs, and reached a contract extension with the Nets. In order to fight against Duncan who had no solution, the Nets signed Alonzo Mourning, who was abandoned by the Heat. Affected by kidney disease, he will be reimbursed for the season soon, unable to achieve the team's goal of the last piece of the puzzle.

So the Nets are still Kidd, Jefferson and Kenyon Martin, the three S-level stars. Among them, Kidd is S-level, Jefferson and Kenyon Martin are both S-level, Then there are two excellent basketball players in the starting position: shooting guard Corey Kiddels and center Jason Collins.

Under the leadership of Kidd this year, the record has declined slightly compared with the same period in the previous two years, ranking third in the East after the Pacers and Pistons.

For the Heat, this is the best touchstone to test the state of the team.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the two sides entered the arena and officially started the game on time.

"Two days ago, your Chinese compatriot was amazing, scoring 41 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists." Michael Curry and Yang Di got on well, and suddenly talked about Yao Ming's performance.

Of course Yang Di knew. A few days ago, the Rockets led by Yao Ming played against the battered Eagles at home.It just so happened that the Eagles were in full swing, and the game went through three overtimes. Yao Mingsheng scored a career-high 41 points and also sent a career-high 7 assists, playing a career masterpiece.

Seeing that Michael praised Yao Ming, Yang Di was also very happy. "Yao has gained weight this season, and he is more resistant to the inside. At the same time, he also maintains his shooting touch, which can be inside and outside."

"It is indeed difficult to guard. He is too tall. He can contain the inside line who likes to attack in the low position very well." Michael Curry has his own views on basketball, talking about tactics or other court experiences. At that time, he was very insightful.

While the two were chatting, today's game had already started on the court. The Nets took the lead and scored 13 to 5 in the opening game. The Heat called a timeout.

"Kidd's passing always has a kind of leisurely elegance. It feels that before each pass, he has considered all the situations after receiving the ball." Although he is an opponent, Yang Di admires Kidd very much.

"The overall situation is too good." Michael Curry said seriously: "After all, he is the best passer in active service."

"Tsk tsk, in such a slow offensive position, it is unimaginably stable to be able to send out more than 9 assists per game."

……

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, Yang Di replaced Grant.

Yang Di looked up and saw that the Heat were 15 points behind the Nets 22 to 7.

At the same time, the Nets also made substitutions, replacing Kidders and Jefferson, and replaced 1-meter guard Lucios Harris and 96-meter small forward Rodney Rogers.

Kidd is also a tall guard, so Stan Van Gundy didn't dare to let Alston play against Kidd, but replaced Eddie Jones, who was not going well, with Russell Butler.

"High screen." Wade made a gesture, crossing at a 45-degree position to Rasual Butler outside the left three-point line.

Rasual Butler then transferred to Caron Butler on the left flank. At the same time, Yang Di, who was off the ball, stood at the free throw line and made an off-ball screen for Wade, who was also off the ball. Wade Cut to the basket. Rasoul in position 2 cuts inside the right corner, also with the help of Yang Di's pick-and-roll.

Odom, who was originally in the bottom corner, moved up and returned to the position where Wade stood up just now.

At this time, the Nets' defense deviated. Although Wade didn't have a chance and failed to catch the ball in the low position, he attracted the Nets to his side. Caron Butler gave the ball to Yang Di at the top of the arc. , Carrying out flank transposition tactical moves, receiving the ball from the original weak side and cutting into the basket, the Nets' defense line was in chaos, and Collins and Martin came together to make up for Caron Butler.

"Snapped!"

Caron Butler calmly passes the ball to Wade, who makes a mid-range jumper.

Hit! 17 to 22.

Grant, who had just left the field, pouted immediately. When he was on the field just now, he didn't play such a perfect tactical coordination. Yang Di changed his look as soon as he came on the field, making it seem that his cover quality was not as good as Yang Di.

The Nets attacked, Kidd stretched out three fingers, circled the outside line, and gave the ball to Rodney on the wing, and then he ran to the other side without the ball, caught the ball and found a double pick-and-roll tactic.

Cut diagonally, Martin and Collins are like two thick walls.

Yang Di resolutely let go of Collins to delay Kidd's intrusion. Kidd dribbled the ball with his body down, pulled Yang Di to move outside the paint area, then suddenly grabbed the basketball and threw the ball into the sky!
Just waiting for you!

Yang Di jumped up, like a volleyball player blocking the net, with his hands raised high.

But jumping in the air, he suddenly realized that the basketball didn't pass from Kidd's hand!Kidd walked around in front of Yang Di calmly with the ball in one hand, and then made a slight hook to Collins who made an air cut.

Yang Di landed and Collins dunked with both hands.

"Grass!"

Yang Di cursed secretly, blaming himself for beating too early.

Off the court, Stan Van Gundy shook his head. Yang Di's current physical fitness can be considered very good, but many judgments on the court are not in place. To put it bluntly, he feels that Yang Di's basketball IQ is not very high. Will make some bad choices.

"He probably won't be able to become a star." Van Gundy felt that Yang Di had the potential to be a strong substitute at best. If he met a passing master like Kidd, his field statistics might be okay, but he wasn't really the cornerstone of the team.This is also the real reason why he has been unwilling to follow Pat Riley's advice and support Yang Di's starting position.

Yang Di and Grant have overlapping positions, and there are four conflicts between the two, so it is destined to only use one person.

After two rounds, Wade singled out Kidd on the left side, and the basketball swung back and forth under his crotch. Suddenly, he stepped out with his left foot to the left, controlled the ball with his left hand, and leaned out his body to the left, as if he was going to break through to the left.

Kidd didn't move his center of gravity, Wade suddenly pulled the ball back, the basketball slapped on the floor and then switched to his right hand, and then his right foot stepped out like lightning, the whole person made a huge frontal change of direction!

too fast!
Kidd struck back, but found that he couldn't keep up with Wade, and Wade passed him in one step.

"This young man is really amazing." Kidd secretly praised Wade's terrifying explosive power in his heart because of the excellent combination of man and ball.

Wade was still leaning against Kidd in the second step, and in the third step he had a vague advantage in stature, and he didn't make any extra moves, just relying on his speed to overpower.

The Nets immediately shrank the line of defense. In the paint area, Wade jumped high and threw the ball with one hand.

"It's off, the rebound!" Martin, who also jumped up, felt his fingertips slightly touched the basketball, and immediately turned around and roared.

The basketball was indeed a little higher, and it directly hit the inner basket and bounced high.

However, a pair of big dark hands silently appeared under the spotlight, and then firmly grasped the basketball, and with a "bang", pushed the ball back into the basket.

In the narrow space, Yang Di smashed the basketball stand and shook it, every dunk he seemed to have such a sense of power.

In front of the TV, Nancy Herrera, who was watching the game, opened her mouth in a daze. With a flash of magic, Yang Di completed this heavy dunk like a god, so ferocious!
Off the court, Stan Van Gundy sighed again, but Yang Di can always contribute some unexpected performances on the court, saying that his performance is not good, but not all of them, contradictions coexist.
