NBA villain

Chapter 187
The Warriors have many problems, including imperfect defensive system, simplification of offense, poor tactical execution of players and so on.

All in all, compared with the Heat last season, Yang Di felt that the two teams have completely different levels, which can also be called two different cultural atmospheres.

Yang Di doesn't know how to make the team stronger. All he can do is to constantly improve himself.

So the Warriors suffered a wave of three-game losing streak. After losing to the Jazz, they lost to the Clippers at home, and then lost to the Mavericks on the road. With one win and three losses, they were ranked third from the bottom in the Western Conference. The Trail Blazers and Grizzlies are slightly stronger.

At the beginning, the experts were startled by the Warriors winning the Trail Blazers game, and were bluffed by Yang Di's 20+20. They faltered and couldn't speak in front of the media.

Looking at it now, well, it turned out to be that paper tiger. No, the only Blazers who won was still the bottom one in the West.

So they jumped out one after another, saying that the warriors were no good.

The first is defense.

"The defense is really messed up." A columnist wrote: "Although the Warriors' Yang Di now averages 3.7 blocks per game and ranks first in the league, the Warriors' overall conceded points are as high as 105.5 points, ranking third from the bottom in the league. Anyone who has played the game knows that the Warriors' defense has no system, no layer, and in this era of wing players exploding, they will be smashed into scum."

"Offensive? Offensive doesn't work either." When it comes to offense, he mentioned Richardson, the head of the team: "The 23-year-old Richardson met him in his fourth season, but his offense is still just some old routines. He even Haven't learned how to use the pick-and-roll to score, making some wrong choices on the court."

In such an atmosphere, the entire Warriors team was a little depressed.

Montgomery is also under a lot of pressure. After all, he has not been able to knead these talented young people into a whole.

After a three-game losing streak, they came to San Antonio to challenge the powerful Spurs in the West!
The Spurs are a truly strong team. Since they picked Duncan, they have been standing in the ranks of the league championship.

The most powerful thing is that in 03, he killed the OK combination at the peak, broke the Lakers' dream of surpassing the Bulls for three consecutive championships, and defeated the Nets in the finals with Duncan's epic performance, and won the championship trophy.Having entered the finals twice and won two championships, the stability of the Spurs during the big game is impressive.

In the regular season, they are also synonymous with stability.

During the offseason, they got guard Brent Barry from Seattle, center Nazr Mohamed from New York, signed veteran Glenn Robinson, and strengthened the depth of the bench and the thickness of the lineup.

Against the Warriors, the Spurs lined up French point guard Tony Parker, Argentine shooting guard Manu Ginobili, California small forward Bruce Bowen, Virgin Islands power forward Tim Duncan, and Slovenian center Rasu Ness Trovic.

Good guy, three of the five starters are non-American international players, and only Yang Di is an international player in the starting lineup for the Warriors.

In the away game against the Spurs, no one is optimistic about the Warriors. According to the bookmaker's handicap before the game, the Spurs let the Warriors by 10.5 points.

This made Yang Di very angry, as if he didn't even fight, the whole world thought that the Warriors must have lost.

The key is that this game is still a game broadcast in China. Yes, there is no Rockets game that day.

In the SBC Center arena, there were crowds of people. In the stands, diehard fans of San Antonio waved a huge Spurs banner, which represented the glory of the two championships.

The attendance rate is not low, and the Spurs are already the city's business card.

The pre-match ceremony for the Spurs players is very simple. After starting the game, wave your hand and it will be over.

Yang Di and Duncan jumped the ball.

Duncan looked at him very seriously, his eyes were round and cute.

He is tall, at least one forehead higher than Yang Di, and his arms are also very thick. His muscle lines are not exaggerated like that of Da Ben, but he can still feel superhuman strength.

The basketball was thrown into the air, and Duncan jumped up before Yang Di.

"what!"

Yang Di was taken aback, the ball was still rising!
He hurriedly jumped up too, just less than [-] centimeters into the air, a big hand pressed down secretly, with a mountain-like weight on top.

The basketball was picked away by Duncan, and Yang Di glanced at him, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Duncan, one of the strongest insiders in the league!Such a confrontation made him feel very exciting.

"Ding, instant mission, Holy City Reclamation Battle - Defeat the league's powerful Spurs, mission reward, a Spurs A-level star card."

Yang Di's heart moved slightly, but his face remained unchanged, and he was more concentrated.

The Spurs attack very well. Parker first gave it to Manu Ginobili on the wing. The long-haired Argentine took the ball and dribbled it back.

Then call Duncan to come out and pick and roll him high.

On the other side, Nesterovic began to screen off the ball for the running Parker, and Bruce Bowen took the opportunity to go down. When Ginobili and Duncan played a pick-and-roll attack, Bowen had already fallen to the left The position of the side bottom corner.

At this time, because of Duncan's high-quality screen, Ginobili turned around and went in to kill. Although he dribbled wide open and closed, he still reached the point where man and ball were united. Richardson who was defending him was blocked Facing Murphy's attack, Ginobili changed direction and walked in the middle.

Attracted Dunleavy to double-team, and handed it to Bowen with one hit.

Bowen made an open three-pointer and made it.

The Spurs hit a three-pointer in the opening game. Montgomery was a little impatient. He stood up and walked to the sidelines, with his hands on his hips to hide his inner anxiety.

Offensive and defensive conversion, the Warriors pass the ball back to Fisher at the top of the arc.

Enemies meet, extremely jealous. In the entire Warriors team, only Fisher will be booed by the audience. When he just came out, and when he got the ball at this time, the 0.4 seconds a few months ago were amazing. Killing, still in front of the fans, seems to be the pain of yesterday.

Parker pressed hard and tried to steal the ball.

Fisher relied on his ass and his thick body to protect the ball, but he couldn't make a breakthrough on his own and hit the ground to Dunleavy in the corner.

Dunleavy raised it further, and Richardson, who crossed over, received the ball, and Bruce Bowen immediately stuck to him.

One hand grabbed Richardson's clothes, reaching out to interfere with the dribble from time to time, and the other hand kept pinching, pinching, poking, and touching his body, with small movements.

Richardson wanted to pull the ball to open up the space between Dot and Bowen, and Bowen followed suit.

It wasn't until Yang Di took the initiative to help him with the pick-and-roll that Richardson got rid of Bowen's entanglement, but directly faced the tall Slovenian who was like a mountain.

Bowen caught up to double-team Richardson, and Richardson stopped the ball and almost missed a mistake.

In a panic, it was handed over to Deng Levy, who came up to respond, and Dun Levy passed it to Yang Di, who was going down. At this time, the Spurs took turns to defend, and Yang Di directly faced Tim Duncan!
