NBA villain

Chapter 237
Yang Di is in good shape now, but when he encounters some centers who weigh more than 120 kilograms, the physical exertion on the defensive end is still a bit high.

Fortunately, there are not many centers of this tonnage in the entire NBA, such as O'Neal, Yao Ming, Eddie Curry, Dampier and so on.Usually this kind of center will find it difficult to defend Yang Di. After all, Yang Di's movement speed and flexibility are far superior to them.

Yang Di has become the most rebounding and defensive inside representative in the league, with an average of 15.3 rebounds per game to secure the throne of rebounding leader, nearly two ahead of No.2 Kevin Garnett.The average of 2.7 blocks per game is second only to Marcus Camby of the Nuggets. The No. 96 in 3.3 can contribute [-] blocks per game.

And just after defeating the Kings, the Warriors who returned to the home court ushered in the challenge of the Nuggets.

According to reason, the Nuggets wait for work with ease, and their record is similar to that of the Warriors. It is reasonable to beat the Warriors.But unfortunately, the team's new aid Kenyon Martin and the team's top scorer Carmelo Anthony are both injured and missed the game against the Warriors.

Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik can only line up PG Andre Miller, SG Greg Buckner, SF DeMar Johnson, PF Nene Hilario and C Marcus Camby Such a lineup lacks mobility and obviously lacks outside shooting ability.

Earlier, the "Denver Sentinel" rumored that Nuggets head coach Jeff Bzdelik was unstable.Because after the introduction of superstars like Kenyon Martin, the record still did not improve, and everyone began to question the coach's coaching ability.

Moreover, there are conflicts within the Nuggets. The relationship between Kenyon Martin and Nene Hilario is very bad. The second-year Anthony is only a 21-year-old young man who cannot mediate and lead correctly.

Therefore, this game will be a more critical game. For Coach Jeff, winning or losing is particularly critical.

At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets performed well. Nene made a mid-range shot. Miller assisted Greg to make a three-pointer. Through standard conduction and sharing the ball, the Nuggets scored 31 points, while the Warriors only scored 22 points. .

The Warriors suffered from physical decline as a whole, and their outside shooting percentage was very low. The last layup after a breakthrough was always poor because of lack of energy. Yang Di remembered that he made two tip-ups under the basket alone.

Although Marcus Camby is not a heavy player, he is very good at confrontation, and he can always correctly grasp the opponent's dynamics, and complete the block with his excellent jumping and wingspan.Moreover, Camby's offensive autonomy is average, and his attention on the defensive end is more concentrated.

Yang Di was blocked by Camby in the first quarter, and he was very embarrassed when he forced himself under the basket.With the increase in the number of shots, Yang Di's number of blocks this season has also increased a lot, but compared with the starting centers of the other 29 teams in the league, it is still much less.

The second quarter of the game.The Warriors' bench team fought chaotically, closing the score to only five points.

Denver Nuggets point guard Earl Boykins is the shortest player in the league today. He is only 1 meters tall, but he has lightning speed and super flexibility. At that time, Boykins stood up, broke through to the Warriors inside and scored, and also caused a defensive foul by Dale Davis.

Yang Di came on the stage at 5 minutes and 18 seconds, destroyed the Nuggets' alley attack at 3 minutes and 01 seconds, and Richardson completed the assist with a long pass.

At 2 minutes and 19 seconds, Yang Di switched positions and went outside, and Camby grabbed the offensive rebound in the frontcourt.

Camby was also strong at the basket, and was blocked by Yang Di who rushed in from the side, and the audience applauded thunderously.

People cheered, remembering the scene where Yang Di was hated off by Camby in the first quarter, and they immediately understood that Yang Di was waiting for Camby right now, and this kid is so sure about revenge.

At halftime, the Warriors trailed the Nuggets by 48 points 53 to 5.

The Nuggets have 13 wins and 14 losses, and the Warriors have 15 wins and 13 losses. The records of the two teams are almost the same, but the Warriors played back-to-back games. The players themselves have consumed a lot of energy in Sacramento. more obvious.

Throughout the third quarter, the Nuggets relied on continuous inside attacks or exhausted the Warriors' physical strength in a bullfighting manner. At the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets led the Warriors by 78 points 69 to 9.

Warriors star Nate Thurmond, who is watching the game, said: "The Warriors are very resilient this year. Among young teams, there are few such qualities. They can continue to maintain a strong fighting spirit in the second back-to-back game. With a tenacious fighting spirit, the playoffs can be expected.”

The Warriors are a combination of old-fashioned style of play and bombardment.

Under normal circumstances, warriors like to use positional warfare to fight against others with a knife and a gun, and fight for defense.But sometimes, the Warriors will suddenly change their rhythm, and their offense will become very fast. After running, sometimes they will make more mistakes, but they will encounter a more obvious dislocation advantage during the transition attack, or a one-on-one due to dislocation. situation.

This time is obviously not an ordinary time. Yang Di, who left the court early for a rest, came on the court in less than 8 minutes of the fourth quarter. Montgomery gave Yang Di the right to advance with the ball, and signaled everyone to run and fight to the death.

The running and bombing suddenly had a significant effect. After the first wave of defense, Yang Di advanced to the frontcourt to complete a one-stop layup, helping the Warriors to bring the point difference back to single digits.

Then it was Yang Di's advance again, finding Richardson in the frontcourt, Richardson forced Miller, and made a mid-range emergency stop jumper.

Coach Jeff of the Nuggets felt very distressed. The Warriors turned into a run and bomber, which made him a little bit rubbish. The third position was replaced by DeMar Johnson, who was 2 meters high. Shooting, but the defensive efficiency in the transition between offense and defense dropped significantly. The Warriors' running and bombing just hit the weakness of the Nuggets.

"If only Carmelo Anthony wasn't injured!" Jeff Bzdelik thought.

He could only remind the players on the field by calling a timeout, and told Miller to control the rhythm.

Fans in the Bay Area encouraged the Warriors. A force emerged from the depths of the players of the Warriors. Relying on a rush of young players such as Yang Di, Pietrus, and Richardson, they caught up in half a quarter. up the score.

In the end, the Warriors won the game 104 to 101 at home, scoring 35 points in the final quarter.

皮特鲁斯砍下全场最高的24分，这也是他职业生涯的新高。杨迪有14分12个篮板进账，数据上还不如16分12个篮板和3次盖帽的坎比来的好看。

After the game against the Nuggets, the Warriors had only one game left in 04.
