Chapter 149 The first round against the Hornets ([-])
Before the start of the playoffs, experts had asserted that the Heat would lose the series 2-4, especially for young rookies like Yang Di and Wade. The [-]% level of the regular season is already thankful.

As for Odom and his like, experts believe that they are just older rookies, essentially the same as Yang Di and others, and they have no playoff experience.

The first half of the first quarter seemed to develop according to this script, but when Yang Di came on, it was all different.

Yang Di appeared in the playoffs with amazing adaptability. His state and spirit seemed to have experienced the tempering of the playoffs.And he dared to confront anyone, confronted All-Star center Magloire, and he was extremely focused.

"Calculation, we miss people too much!" Tim Floyd roared loudly, waving the tactical board in his hand.

"The Heat's outside touch is not good. We must shrink the defensive line from the outside to the inside. The inside players pay attention to the new Heat No. [-]. This No. [-] is very strong and active. We can't give him the opportunity to perform continuously. Don't you think today? Lose the game easily?"

The players of the Hornets were reprimanded by the head coach and their faces were livid. It is definitely a shame to be ridden on top of their heads by a rookie like this.

The timeout is over, and there are 3 minutes and 38 seconds left in the first quarter.

Baron Davis still held the ball to find Jamal Magloire's pick-and-roll, and the Heat still used the same defensive strategy. Yang Di was delayed in getting up, and after Wade chased him, Yang Di let go and went down.

Baron Davis glanced at Wade, took a small step to the right, and made the shot!
Instead of attacking the basket, Yang Di chose a long-distance two-pointer. Yang Di had just retreated at this time. When he saw Davis made the shot, he immediately turned around and roared, jumping to interfere.

"Shh!"

The Nets fluttered, and the Hornets led the Heat 20 to 14.

"Yang Di is too fierce." Off the field, Stan Van Gundy was shocked. He didn't even know that Yang Di already had such terrifying energy. He subconsciously looked at Grant sitting on the bench.

Grant's eyes fixed on Yang Di on the field, his eyes contained puzzlement and worry.

Van Gundy sighed, Grant is also a qualified insider, at least it is more than enough to be a starter, but now because of Yang Di's brilliance, his excellence is gradually covered up, and his biggest disadvantage compared with Yang Di is , he is 32 years old, but Yang Di is not even 20 years old.

From March to April, Yang Di also opened up on the offensive end in the last two months, gradually revealing his advantages in strength, and occasionally there are other offensive methods of small surprises, which confuse the defensive players.

"The third block!"

There were exclamations from the audience, and Yang Di blocked Baron Davis' layup, which once again destroyed the Hornets' offense.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hornets led the Heat by 24 points 21 to 3.

Yang Di walked back to the bench, panting heavily, assistant coach Walker handed him a towel, "Wipe your face, Yang."

Yang Di was panting heavily, sweating profusely. This was the first time he had such a severe exhaustion. After the first quarter, he felt that more than half of his physical strength was exhausted.

"It's like this in the playoffs. Every ball seems to be desperate." Walker handed over a glass of water.

"Thank you." Yang Di took the water and took a big gulp.

"Pay attention to the reasonable distribution of physical strength. This style of play may not be sustainable. This game is not just an ordinary rotation. Everything is possible!" Walker said to Yang Di encouragingly, implying something.

Yang Di looked up at Walker one more time, not quite understanding what he meant by "unusual rotation".

The intermission passed immediately, and the players of both sides returned to the court.

"In the first game of the playoffs, with 4 points, 3 rebounds and 3 blocks in a single quarter, Yang Di's performance is nothing short of amazing." Yang Jian praised Yang Di wildly, and he was proud to explain it from his old family.

"I think the Heat should let Yang Di play more on this at the right time. He has an absolute speed advantage against Magloire. Hey, the Heat's players are on the court." Zhang Weiping has completely fallen into the frenzy of Yang Di's fans Among them, he unabashedly expressed his support for Yang Di's preference, just like he supported Yao Ming.

In fact, this commentary style is wrong, but most fans in China also like this kind of biased commentary.

One's own family always wants to favor one's own family a little bit.

Baron Davis rested, and the Hornets handed over the ball to David Wesley. As a combo guard, Wesley also has the ability to organize offense.

The Hornets' substitute insider is named David West, who also just entered the league last year and is a student at the same level as Yang Di.

The 24-year-old David West is considered an older rookie. He and Yang Di also have similarities. For example, during the regular season, his average playing time was strictly limited to about 13 minutes by the head coach. He averaged 4 points and 4 rebounds per game. Although he was an important substitute and played almost every game, he always felt suppressed.

Seeing Yang Di's majesty on the court, David West was already secretly upset. As soon as he came on the court, he immediately bullied himself and leaned against Yang Di, fighting desperately without fear.

Yang Di frowned deeply, what happened to this dead bald guy who just played?So much action?

"Call~"

Alston made a drastic change of direction in front of his body, and made a 45-degree mid-range jump shot from the left.

"Shua!" He was facing Wesley's defense, slightly raised the arc of the shot, and the basketball entered the frame with precision.

The Heat took the lead as soon as they came up in the second quarter, 23 to 24, only 1 point away from the Hornets.

After halftime, David Wesley asked David West to come out to do the pick-and-roll. The two guys with the same name actually have similar looks. They both have shiny bald heads. Wesley is just older than West. He was ten years old, and he entered the NBA exactly ten years apart. The fate of coincidence is like God's will.

Yang Di didn't know the truth, he just felt that the Hornets had too many bald heads, not bald players, but bearded players with a unique style.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Wesley threw off Alston's defense and inserted into the hinterland of the Heat. Yang Di immediately gave up David West, who he was defending, and chased Wesley who went in with a touch of smoke.

Wesley returns the pass to West.

The 2-meter David West took a step laterally after taking the ball, which was equivalent to making a slight adjustment, and then faced the 08-meter Alston, directly took off and shot the blue.

Under the absolute height advantage, Alston could only cover West's eyes in vain.

"Shua!" is also hollow into the frame.

West waved his fist excitedly, and when retreating, he kept his eyes on Yang Di, and rushed forward bravely.

It was the first time that Yang Di encountered a candy-style defense. West completely regarded him as the mainstay of a team like Odom to defend, and the Hornets' defensive focus completely changed.

This made Yang Di very uncomfortable, coupled with the rapid loss of physical strength, the offensive end disappeared again.
