NBA villain

Chapter 361 Fate
Davis also failed to make a shot. Coincidentally, the rebound bounced a little high. Yang Di turned around in front of Howard cleverly, got a better position, and grabbed the offensive rebound.

Howard felt that Yang Di was his fateful enemy.

Last year, when he just entered the league, in that game against Yang Di, Yang Di scored 18 points, 17 rebounds and 9 blocks on his head, an exaggerated quasi-triple-double data, especially the blocks. In Xiangli, he felt that Yang Di had seen through all his offensive actions and was very restrained.

"What a painful opponent."

"What?" Yang Di heard Howard's muttering, turned around and asked.

"Ahem, it's nothing." Howard lowered his center of gravity, spread his feet, and defended against Yang Di.

Yang Di didn't think about attacking directly, he passed the ball outside and lobbed it high to Danny Granger.

After the Warriors moved to open the space, Danny Granger dropped the ball in again. At this time, Yang Di was in a more comfortable position, catching the ball and preparing to hit Howard with his back.

Grant Hill emptied Ariza and double-teamed Yang Di.

Yang Di passed a pass to Chandler in the middle. Chandler caught the ball unsteadily, and Cato dropped the ball. The basketball rolled on the floor, attracting a group of people to grab the ball, and the Warriors made a mistake.

Magic fast break!

Francis, who holds the ball, dribbles quickly and advances in a straight line.

Yang Di and the others chased after them. After such a mistake, others counterattacked. Even if it was a team as fast as the Warriors, not everyone could completely complete the chase.

Francis rushed to the basket, carried Ariza in the air and scored a layup.

4 to 4, the two teams tied.

"After today's start, the Magic are in great shape!" Sitting in the studio, Cai Nan exclaimed. Before the start of the game, he also predicted that the Warriors, who had rested for a long time, would easily beat the Magic at home. Watch now Come on, the Magic are not down at all.

"Davis hit the ground and passed to Yang Di, Yang Di hit the basket, good shot!"

"Good shot, it caused a foul by the Magic!"

"This is how the ball should be played. Davis's pick-and-roll pass is very good. Once Yang Di rushes up, no one in the Magic can guard against him."

Yu Jia and Cai Nan praised Yang Di in turn, and the Chinese fans listened with gusto.

Yang Di walked up to the free throw line and gestured for a shot.

The referee watched the people on both sides stand in their positions and hit the ball to Yang Di.

Outside the three-point line, Davis chatted with Francis.

Baron Davis said with some pride: "My partner Yang Di made it to the playoffs last year and forced the championship Spurs to almost lose the series. This year we are even better, ranking first in the league. one."

Francis snorted, and naturally thought of the big man in Houston, and countered with some disdain: "It's just Yang Di's credit. A player like Yang Di can rebound, attack, and shoot. , There is a low post, if I partner with him, I can do this, maybe the Spurs were smashed by me last year."

"Your defense is too poor, and the pass turnover rate is too high, no way." Byron - Davis retorted Francis, he would certainly not admit that others are better than him as the second master.

"Your shooting is still so bad. If you were more accurate in the playoffs last year, the Spurs might have lost."

"Shooting is not the most important thing, organization is the most important, tearing up the defense, mobilizing teammates, and passing the ball must have a big picture."

"Hehe, so that's why you didn't shake me away after shaking for a long time?"

"You said it as if you had thrown yourself in my head."

After saying this, Yang Di made the second free throw, and Francis stepped forward to catch the serve from the baseline.

NBA players always like to talk rubbish like rapping. They will talk about a bunch of things that are irrelevant to the game. In the game, they are tit-for-tat and very competitive.

In addition to Howard against Yang Di, Francis and Davis are also full of highlights of the game.

Howard continued to try to catch the ball in the low post. Chandler didn't dare to defend around the front as he did when defending a slow-moving center like Yao Ming, and still chose to defend in the low post.

Francis lobs the ball in and Howard catches and backs Chandler.

This is not a good choice. When Howard plays back in the low post, his efficiency value is very low. The key is that his lower body strength is average, and he has no footwork to make up for it. It is difficult to push those centers who are far taller and heavier than him.

Like Yang Di, he usually chooses a side impact, which is between offensive fouls.

Howard didn't bump twice, and found that he couldn't hit the seemingly thin Chandler. Yang Di moved again and suddenly double-teamed him. He could only pass back in the visible range.

Low post attack declared.

After a few shots, Grant Hill made a sudden stop and missed a jumper.

More than 6 minutes into the first quarter, Yang Di received a pass from Baron Davis and rushed in the middle. This time, the Magic team's double-team tactics did not come close. Yang Di held the basketball high and smashed the ball into the basket. In the basket, he scored his sixth point in the field.

Such a wonderful dunk detonated the Warriors bench.

But what I didn't expect was that after returning to halftime, Francis of the Magic team immediately completed a high-quality screen with Howard. Francis made a single block screen shot, hit a 3-pointer, and immediately responded to Yang Di with a goal.

The morale of the Magic is high, and the players are in an inexplicably good state.

Yang Di took a 10-minute break, playing more than a minute longer than Howard, who had already had a rest.

In this quarter, he scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, but unexpectedly, the Warriors were still behind.

It was Biedrins who replaced Yang Di. After many Warriors players were injured, these young people had more opportunities.

At the same time, Monta Ellis and other outsiders also had the right to attack independently. Montgomery replaced many rookies to fight against Nelson, Turkoglu, Pat Garrity and others ranked by the Magic.

Except for Nelson who is a little younger, the rest of the Magic are veterans who have played in the league for many years, and they have much more court experience than the Warriors players.

Monta Ellis has amazing speed, it is easy to break through Nelson forcibly, but the offensive method lacks changes, and the last layup is outrageous.

But Biedrins, who has experienced the baptism of the playoffs, performed well. After playing, he grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up at the basket.

In general, the Warriors' substitutes were not as good as the Magic's. The offensive fault was severe, and the score was continuously opened by the Magic. Montgomery couldn't stop the decline even after calling a timeout. He wanted to replace the veteran but found that no one was available.When Yang Di played in the second quarter, he was 29 points behind the Magic 41 to 12, the first time this season that he fell behind by so many points.
