NBA villain

Chapter 229 Confrontation
Yao Ming is really too tall, and he has weight, skills, and flexibility. When playing on the court, Yang Di will feel such difficulties in his heart again.

At this time, in the third grade, the 24-year-old Yao Ming was at his peak.

Beginning last year, Yao followed Van Gundy's behest by getting stronger, more prone to attacking in the low post, and scoring closer to the rim every game.

But when he met Yang Di, Yao Ming did not attack in this way.

The Rockets' first goal was in the eyes of everyone's anticipation. After receiving the ball, Yao Ming turned around and shot a jumper, using his waist force, just like Dirk Nowitzki did in the previous game against the Mavericks.

Yang Di was taken aback, and immediately stepped forward to take off.

But Yao Ming turned around and stepped on his feet to make a shot. He didn't seem to be jumping very high at all. He stretched out his arms straight and flicked the ball away in the air, and the movement was done in one go.

Yang Di's jumping is powerful, and the speed of the bounce is also very fast, but no matter how fast it takes time, when he jumps at the highest altitude, even if he can cover Yao Ming, Yao Ming has already made a move.

This becomes even more pronounced when the height gap is too large.

He was still in the air, and there was a "swish" sound from behind, a crisp sound of entering the net.

Yang Di smiled dryly. Sure enough, this kind of defense is too passive for him, and it is very easy to lose his position with a late attack.

He had other methods. The moment he landed, he started to run slowly, like an antelope, quickly passed the retreating Yao Ming, and ran to the center line.

The Warriors, who were fast serving the baseline ball, advanced quickly, and Richardson pushed the ball with both hands.

The basketball threw a beautiful trajectory, passed McGrady, Pietrus and others in the middle, and found Yang Di who was running unmarked.

Almost instantly, Yang Di, who was transitioning from offense to defense, faced Rockets guard Bob Sura one-on-one in the frontcourt.

"Oops, how should I defend!"

Looking at Yang Di, who was charging towards him with murderous aura, striding forward like a ferocious beast, Sura, who was thin and short, felt deep anxiety in her heart. The angle of the ball, and two taps on the floor.

He chose to dodge, and Yang Di leaped high from outside the restricted area.

The body swings rhythmically to maintain balance, lifts the basketball horizontally in the air, looks at the basket and smashes the ball sideways into the basket, and then lands on the legs one after the other, contributing another fast attack battle ax that amazes the world .

"Wow, awesome dunk!"

The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed. Before they had time to cheer for Yao Ming, they were shocked by Yang Di's unexpected "answerball".They were a little puzzled, why Yang Di's jumping ability and explosive power are so strong, he is not at all like the Asian who can't jump up or run fast in his memory.

"He is really the best among Asians." Jeff Van Gundy couldn't help feeling sorry for his brother, such a good young super center with potential, was let go so easily.But now that I want to come back, the Heat are also quite strong. After getting O'Neal, their record soared all the way, and they went straight to the championship this season. After all, they lost and gained.Obviously already got it, and threw it away again.

In the opening game, the Rockets and the Warriors drew 2-2, and Yao Ming and Yang Di were equal to each other.

The Rockets attacked. McGrady, half-closed and half-sleeping, still had no intention of attacking himself. Instead, he beckoned and signaled the defender to pass the ball to Yao Ming.

At this time, Sliding Step sideways, with long arms blocking the route of the defender passing the ball to Yao Ming, unexpectedly made a defensive strategy of three quarters around the front.

This is Yang Di's tactic to deal with the inside line that he can't defend-going around to prevent the inside players from receiving the ball.

A defense like this is not good for a highly mobile insider. For example, this year's two rookies insider Okafor and Howard, the outside ball holder can easily reverse the basket, pass well and even directly form an alley-oop.

But Yao Ming can't, Yang Di is a bit faster than Yao Ming, and the Rockets guard is not a passing master, so he is somewhat unconfident in his heart. Di directly intercepted the ball.

The timid Bob Sura was slammed by fans who supported Yao Ming. They didn't understand that Yang Di adopted a different defensive strategy.

Bob Sulla passes back to Jim Jackson at the top of the key.

Jim Jackson has a legendary career. Since he was selected by the Mavericks with the fourth pick in the first round in 1992, he has played in 10 teams. At that time, he formed a "3J" combination with Kidd and Mashburn, averaging 25.7 points per game in a single season.Later, because of the jealousy between women and Kidd, he parted ways with the Mavericks and became the number one "ronin" in the NBA.

The Rockets were his tenth team.

Now 34-year-old Jim Jackson is already a veteran in the league, but he has not yet won a championship. The combination of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady gave him hope as if OK was rising, and he did his best in the game.

Facing Richardson, he directly dribbled the ball with a beautiful horizontal pull cross step, changed direction and broke through from the right.

The Warriors are like a fishing net. When the fish enter the net, they will be closed in an instant. First, Murphy stands in front of him to prevent him from passing the ball and attacking the basket. Then Yang Di bends down and stares at his side like a silent cheetah. .

Jim Jackson made a layup, and Yang Di immediately saved it, like thunder, as fast as lightning.

"Snapped!"

With an extremely clean block, the basketball was slammed into the bottom line of cameramen.

"Don't layup in front of me!" Yang Di shook his head, there are always people who don't believe in evil.

McGrady glanced at Yang Di quietly, and after serving the baseline ball, he took the initiative to ask for the ball. Yao Ming came out to pick and roll for him, and the four entangled together on the three-point line.

Madilla moved the ball out to create space. After Yao Ming blocked Pietrus, he went down and in.

Yang Di delayed McGrady's dribble and stayed away from Yao Ming. Pietrus and Yang Di directly double-teamed McGrady.

Yang Di was overjoyed, thinking that McGrady probably couldn't handle the ball anymore.

The corners of McGrady's mouth raised slightly, and he jumped up suddenly, like a football player serving a ball from the sideline, he put the ball behind his head with both hands and smashed it out, whistling past like a basketball shell, like an orange light.

"what!"

Yang Di turned his head and saw that it was Jim Jackson who received the ball. The veteran immediately passed the ball to Yao Ming who went deep into the basket like a setter.

At this time, Murphy was the only one under the basket. Murphy claimed to be 2 meters tall, and his actual height was not much different from Yang Di. Yao Ming dribbled the ball with both hands, knocked Murphy away with a "bang", raised his hand to shoot, and hit the basket into the basket.
