Chapter 387 Small Forward Yang Di

After playing for a few rounds, the teams turned into a state of mutual attack again. Both sides found that they were a bit unable to guard against the opponent's superstar.

Ariza was restrained even more severely. In less than 5 minutes, he received two fouls and ended up resting. The Warriors requested a timeout, and Montgomery fell into deep thought.

"Defending James is a problem. He also has the ability to shoot from a long distance. I dare not let him shoot. But when he gets close, it is easy to be passed by with one step. The finishing ability in the penalty area is particularly strong."

"Ladu can't be pulled down."

Ron Adams suggested: "It's better to let Yang Di and James face each other. Yang Di has a height advantage, and his strength is not inferior to James. He does not suffer in confrontation. Moreover, Yang Di's defensive ability with the ball is getting stronger and stronger. No problem."

"In this case, there will be some disadvantages on the rebound, which is equivalent to keeping Yang Di away from the penalty area."

"There are losses and gains, replacing Foyer, the inside and Chandler are enough to protect the rebounds in the backcourt."

Adams has always been an assistant coach focusing on Yang Di. He is also a senior assistant coach and a recognized defensive master in the league. He knows Yang Di and has a lot of information about Yang Di.

"Well, you can give it a try!" Montgomery nodded, and then asked the Warriors to surround him during the timeout.

Montgomery looked at Yang Di: "Yang, in the rest of the first quarter, you and James will face each other. We lack people who can directly confront James. You need to bear heavier defensive pressure."

"Then I'm not a small forward?" Yang Di pointed to himself, his eyes widened in surprise, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Yes, our coaching staff have discussed it. With your speed, agility and technical state, there should be no pressure to play a small forward against James."

"Okay, I understand!"

Yang Di nodded.

"Also, don't be fouled by James, or the next game will not be easy to play." Montgomery finally asked.

The timeout is over, and both sides return to the court.

The Warriors replaced Trevor Ariza with two fouls and replaced Foyle at power forward.

Yang Di stood next to James. Several local commentators in Cleveland exclaimed about the change of the Warriors. The fans also quietly discovered the change of the Warriors and clamored.

This is a direct dialogue between superstars. Yang Di and James are often compared with each other because they entered the league in the same class.

"You ran outside? Have you ever played outside?"

"You still play power forward occasionally, what's wrong with me playing small forward?"

"You said it was occasional. When I play power forward, it's only once in a few months. What the team needs more is my breakthrough and impact."

Yang Di smiled and said: "Then the same is true for our Warriors. Now we need my outside defense with the ball."

The two are similar in stature, and Yang Di is slightly taller than James, but when they really stand together, there is no obvious difference.

The Warriors attacked, Yang Di tried to get rid of James, and then went to the outside to receive the ball near 45 degrees.

"Come on, one-on-one!"

James encouraged Yang Di to play one-on-one with him. He has a high basketball IQ. He thought that he had played one-on-one with Yang Di in the summer. Can occupy a better advantage.

Yang Di's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

In the Bahamas in the summer, Yang Di and James often singled out. Although Yang Di can also score, he doesn’t attack with the ball from beyond the three-point line, but mostly attacks from low positions. There are not many breakthrough singles like this .

The fans at the scene saw that Yang Di was going to single out their little emperor, and they all shouted excitedly.

"Fuck him!"

"He can't take care of himself in the defensive line!"

Yang Di took a deep breath, held the ball on the left side with both hands, stepped out with his right foot to the right, and attacked with a tentative step.

James stretched his arms. He was wide and long. After spreading his arms, he looked like a mighty eagle. His sharp and bright eyes were fixed on Yang Di's movement.

Yang Di took the second step with his right foot, and at the same time moved the ball held by both hands to the right.

James adjusted his footsteps and moved slightly sideways, while raising his arms high to guard against Yang Di.

Yang Di suddenly started, retracted the ball with both hands, stepped out with his left foot, and then broke through with the ball in his left hand, attacking unswervingly to the left.

The first step is fast!

James adjusted his focus and confronted Yang Di head-on.

With a "bang", it hit my chest.

The strength of the two is unparalleled in the world, and Yang Di may be a little stronger. Coupled with the impact of the offensive side, they even have some advantages.

James snorted softly, and stepped out of the way.

Yang Di took a second step to the left with his right foot, made a wrong step sideways, and leaned over to accelerate.

James' arm was blocked by Yang Dige, Yang Di skillfully and firmly grasped the ball with his left hand, the wind blew over, and his No. 8 jersey rattled.

At that moment, James knew that he couldn't stop Yang Di!

In the slow-motion playback, Yang Di arched his body like a vigorous cheetah.

Yang Di rushed into the inside line of the Cavaliers.

Yang Di was too fast and fierce, and the Cavaliers had no time to react inside. Yang Di, like a beast staring at its prey, soared into the air, raised the ball high in the air, and then smashed it down with one hand.

"Bang!"

The fans only felt that Yang Di suddenly started, broke through from the left, and then passed James' defense in one step, rushed into the inside of the Cavaliers, and completed the tomahawk dunk.

"He can attack like this, it's too fast, his breakthrough speed!"

Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown was taken aback.

James was completely passed by Yang Di, and his face was dull. After the offensive and defensive transition, he took the initiative to ask for the ball from the outside, and he had to single out Yang Di.

The two of them suddenly confronted each other like a needlepoint.

James is also a three-threat holding the ball.

The Cavaliers opened up the space, and James stepped out with his right foot.

The two even have similar breakthrough methods, while Yang Di's movements are more flexible.

James leaned over, pulled the ball horizontally with his right hand, and strode quickly.

Yang Di defended sideways and blocked James' side. After the confrontation between the two, he was still able to maintain the best defensive posture with the ball.

James is standing with the ball in his hands, Yang Di's long left arm is pressed against the ground, and he dare not change direction in front of his body.

The breakthrough on the right is one point faster, and the breakthrough is extremely resolute.

Although the movement is simple, the effect is very good. Yang Di didn't expect James to still be so powerful in the next few steps. When James rushes up with the ball, it will be difficult for him to resist this impact.

The two rushed near the bottom line together, James jumped high, grabbed the ball with his right hand on one side, and threw the ball while gliding.

Yang Di couldn't block it, so he could only interfere.

After the basketball hit the board, it entered the frame. In the heads-up situation, James pulled back a victory.
