NBA villain

Chapter 353 Tradition and Change
Chinese Derby, red memory complex, black is fierce warrior.

San Francisco, the urban area with the highest density of Chinese in the Western Hemisphere, ushered in this long-awaited competition.

In the evening of this day, the sea breeze was blowing head-on from the Bay Bridge, and the arena in Oakland was full of voices. Countless Chinese fans came to the scene, occupying a small half of the arena.

Yang Di wore knee pads on his legs, making his calves look slimmer and longer.

His figure is an inverted triangle, and his upper body is extremely muscular. Not only are the muscles on his arms clear, but his waist and abdomen are also clearly contoured. His back, shoulders, and almost every muscle that represents strength contain explosive strength. .The overall lower body is relatively slender, because the Achilles tendon is longer, the entire calf looks very thin.

Before the start of the game, the two sides performed the entrance ceremony.

Yang Di pressed his legs, stretched out his arms, grabbed the basket and did two pull-ups.

Rockets discharge starting lineup: PG David - Wesley, SG Tracy - McGrady, SF Ryan - Bowen, PF Juwan - Howard, C Yao Ming.

Because of the need to defend McGrady, the Warriors also made corresponding adjustments.

PG let Baron Davis return, SG let Trevor Ariza, a young man with excellent physical fitness and similar height to McGrady, serve as the starter, SF is still Dunleavy, PF Yang Di, C Tyson- Chandler.

Yao Ming and Chandler jump the ball.

Chandler seldom has opponents that he can't jump. When jumping the ball with Yao Ming, for some reason, he was a little slower, and Yao Ming took the basketball away.

Rocket attack.

In the arena, there were cheers from some Chinese fans.

"Sure enough, there are a lot of Chinese fans here. You see, it has become a home game." Veteran Juwan Howard started talking irrelevant trash talk with Yang Di as soon as the game started.

Yang Di responded with great interest: "They are all here to support me and Yao Ming, what are you proud of?"

"I'm not proud, I just thought, if the Rockets move to San Francisco, will there be more market, after all, Chinese fans prefer to watch Yao Ming's games."

"Really? Then you can suggest that Alexander move here."

"The boss doesn't have the ability to do this, and the public will vote against it."

Outside, David Wesley called the Rockets to pull away, and then let Yao Ming fall to the low post, hit the ground with a high throw, and gave the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming and Chandler were one step away from the bottom line paint area, and the Rockets made a personnel change on the outside.

McGrady moved to a high position, directly in front of Yao Ming, Yao Ming received the ball and raised it high, Chandler defended at the top, his thin body was in stark contrast to Yao Ming's generous body.

"boom!"

Yao Ming hit him, and Chandler struggled to stay where he was.

"boom!"

The second time, Yang Di has already run over quickly, double-teaming Yao Ming.

"Just double-team when you come up?" Yao Ming was taken aback. The 2-meter insider like Chandler is slightly different from Yao Ming in height, which has already made up for some disadvantages. Under normal circumstances, other teams have this kind of insider. Trying to defend alone, you will double-team if you can't defend.

But Yang Di was very determined, and he reached for the ball, and Yao Ming was forced to stop dribbling.

The number one of the Warriors outside also actively followed McGrady. Yao Ming didn't give McGrady any room to pass the ball. He wanted to find Juwan Howard who should be open at this time.

Finding that the Warriors shrunk their defense, the 2-meter-06 Dunleavy ran in and blocked the pass to Juwan Howard.

Yao Ming had no choice but to take the risk of crossing the ball and sending the ball to Bowen, who was open on the baseline. This ball actually showed Yao Ming's excellent overall situation awareness and ability to read the game.

But the strength of the pass is a little bit smaller, and the ball speed is not fast.

Although the Warriors had no one to steal the ball, when Bowen received the ball, Dunleavy had already ran to the bottom corner and opened his arms to defend.

Yang Di withdrew, turned around and defended Howard calmly.

The rocket organization's attack failed.

After the failure, the players changed to singles offenses. There is no doubt that after they passed the ball to the outside line, they handed it to Tracy McGrady.

McGrady held the ball from the outside, and before Yao Ming came out for the pick-and-roll, he crossed Ariza in one step.

The 20-year-old Ariza has only played basketball for a year. He is tall and long, and has excellent athleticism. He is also a representative of the league's spring outsiders. Although his basic defensive skills are solid, he lacks defensive experience and needs some training.

Facing the three-threat McGrady holding the ball, he was obviously too close.

As a result, McGrady passed by in one step. Of course, if Danny Granger was replaced, it is estimated that he would be passed faster.

McGrady stepped in, Ariza turned around and chased and defended. After the second step, he found that he couldn't catch up with McGrady's footsteps, and then McGrady suddenly stopped suddenly.

At a position a little higher than the free throw line, raise your hand and shoot.

Ariza rushed over and lightly tapped McGrady's wrist with his fingers.

"Foul!"

McGrady yelled "AND ONE!" and turned to look at the referee.

But the referee ignored him. Ariza wiped his sweat and said a word of good luck in his heart.

"clang!"

After the rebound, Yang Di easily squeezed Juwan Howard away, and the latter had no desire to grab the offensive rebound in his hands, watching Yang Di grab the rebound with his arm.

The moment Yang Di grabbed the rebound, all the fans stood up.

coming soon!Their eyes widened, their breathing stagnated, their adrenaline surged, and they couldn't help but let out a cry.

"Quick attack!"

Davis, Ariza and others had this reaction immediately in their minds, and then turned around and started running. Yang Di grabbed the rebound and started to dribble by himself. He followed up with one step at an amazing speed.

Warriors are multi-line fast break,
Davis walked in the middle, Ariza ran on the right sideline, and Yang Di immediately rushed to the front after turning around and dribbling the ball, also walking on the sideline, but on the left side.

At this time, the Rockets Juwan Howard, Ryan Bowen and the old guys looked confused. Before they could react, the Warriors had already run for four or five meters. .

When Yang Di ran to the frontcourt, only David Wesley had time to retreat, but David Wesley, nicknamed "Mickey Mouse", was short in stature, not to mention smaller than Yang Di by more than one grade. Davis is also several grades behind.

Yang Di dribbled the ball with his left hand and ran into the three-point line.

He took a step to accelerate, and then immediately picked up the basketball, ready to dunk in three steps.

Wesley moved away in fright, and Yang Di glanced at the side. Although McGrady ran very fast, it was very difficult to defend him, and judging by his posture, he probably wasn't ready to jump up and chase the cap forcibly. .

So Yang Di jumped up very easily, controlled the ball with his left hand, put his hands together, took off with one foot with his left foot, glided a short distance in the air, and dunked with both hands.

"boom!"

Yang Di smiled when he landed, and the Rockets' transition defense was worse than he imagined.

On the other side, Coach Van Gundy touched his dwindling forehead, and felt that the Warriors scored this goal because the rebound bounced too far, right?It happened to be snatched by Yang Di to take advantage of the fast break. It is impossible to bounce every ball so far, and it is impossible for every ball to be snatched by Yang Di, right?
