Chapter 388 Scoring
It was Montgomery's momentary idea to let Yang Di play small forward, but the confrontation with James instantly ignited the passion of the entire Quicken Loans Center arena.

"It's amazing, the physical fitness of the two is the top in the NBA today!"

Barkley shouted that James and Yang Di are super warriors, and a one-on-one confrontation is like two steel monsters.

"boom!"

Yang Di played James with his back and singles, and the two fought hand-to-hand in low positions.

Drew Gooden moved his feet and double-teamed. Yang Di scored the ball and gave it to Dunleavy on the outside. Dunleavy missed a three-pointer and Ilgauskas grabbed the rebound.

"Don't double-team."

James made a gesture, and then spoke to the bare-headed Gooden.

"If you double-team, it is very likely to form a dislocation, miss someone, hand him over to me, you go to deal with the Warriors' inside line, and don't let go of your defense easily."

"I know." Gooden nodded frequently, not daring to refute James.

After a few rounds of fighting, James used the pick-and-roll to break through and completed a layup to get his 6th point in the first quarter. Yang Di also took a rest at this time and completed his [-]-minute small forward cameo.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Cavaliers by 29 points 27 to 2.

James scored 10 points in a single quarter, and Yang Di also happened to have 10 points. The two are evenly matched, and there is no difference.

In the second quarter, the two sides replaced the substitutes.

For the Cavaliers, Anderson Varejao, Donyell Marshall, Damon Jones, Luke Jackson and others played. These players have different qualities and are not inferior in strength. .

Off the court, Yang Di chatted with Tyson Chandler.

Chandler is very disdainful of Varejao, "This Brazilian will dive all day long. There are too many small moves. I don't like him at all."

"I don't like that kind of play either, the point is, he still likes to cling to you, my God, sometimes you suddenly think, why is this guy on your driving route, and then you run into him, you haven't With force, he seemed to be hit by a truck, wow, he flew out with a "bang", exaggerated screams."

Having said that, the 24-year-old Brazilian suddenly flew out with his head in his arms, accompanied by a scream.

"I'll say it!"

Yang Di pointed to Varejao with fluttering long hair on the field, but couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, this bastard." Chandler couldn't help smiling, mainly because Sweetney, who was fouled by an offensive foul, looked embarrassed.

"Look at the bewildered look on Mike (Swetney), he's probably mad."

"The Brazilian has only entered his second season in the NBA this year, and his rebounding is still good." Yang Di commented in a satisfactory manner. Varejao is very active in rebounding. With his height and wingspan, he has gradually emerged in the Cavaliers. .

"Marshall can also open up space to shoot three-pointers, and Sweetney is not used to defending." Chandler thinks that the Cavaliers' power forward is also a strange thing. Capable people, very strange.

James came on the court 2 minutes earlier than Yang Di. Once he came on the court, the Cavaliers found their backbone.

At this time, the 21-year-old James is full of explosive power, rampaging on the court, and has an excellent overall view of passing, but most of them are breakthroughs and points.

This way of playing can easily form an advantage, and the Cavaliers immediately led by as much as 5 points.

Yang Di came on the stage, Baron Davis and Yang Di picked and rolled the attack, Davis crossed past Snow who was defending him, and then made an emergency stop and made a jumper. This kind of attack completed two rounds in a row, stabilizing the situation for the Warriors.

There was a hint of envy in James' eyes, and he looked at the bearded Davis with enthusiasm.

He has always felt that he is worse than Yang Di, but the record of the Cavaliers is not as good as that of the Warriors, especially in the East, and even worse in the fiercely competitive West.James feels that the biggest difference between the Cavaliers and the Warriors is that the Warriors also have an All-Star player - Baron Davis.

In the Cavaliers, only a 33-year-old Snow, or the single-handed Ilgauskas and Drew Gooden, are far behind the Warriors' two offensive strengths.

A few years ago, Baron Davis suffered an injury in the Hornets. He came to the Warriors last year. Many people said that he may not return to his peak period. As a result, he is now partnered with Yang Di, not only averaging 18.2 points per game and Can send a career-high 9.6 assists, second only to Nash and Kidd in the assists list, and is very likely to be selected as an All-Star again this season.

Davis likes to find Yang Di as a partner in the offense. Sometimes he passes the lob to Yang Di to complete the lob. He can also show his face, which greatly increases his commercial value. This year's reputation has risen. Income has increased a lot.

Yang Di is the biggest beneficiary of the double pick and roll. Just like Karl Malone, scoring is relatively easier.

Thinking of this, James aroused his fighting spirit, broke through ferociously, shot accurately, and soon pushed Yang Di back to the small forward position.

The Warriors also have a lot of insiders. Yang Di plays small forward, and there are still many inside players who can take over the role of frame protection.

Yang Di restrained James' offense. James was not a player like Arenas, Tracy McGrady, or Kobe Bryant, who shot endlessly. After being guarded by Yang Di, he began to connect his teammates more calmly and reduce his forced shots.

At halftime, James scored 19 points, Yang Di scored 5 points in this quarter, and the Warriors led the Cavaliers 59 to 53.

At the beginning of the second half, Yang Di stepped up his inside offense, causing Ilgauskas and Gooden to foul respectively, but the overall shooting percentage of the Warriors was not very high.

The Cavaliers took the opportunity to close the score. Fortunately, Yang Di made all 6 free throws in this quarter, and the Warriors fell behind the Cavaliers by 81 points 83 to 2.

The fans cheered harder for the home team, shouting James' name in the arena, and worshiping their little emperor.

When Yang Di and other main players reappeared in the fourth quarter, the Warriors' substitutes were rarely ahead of the Cavaliers' substitutes, especially Monta Ellis, who played his name as a genius high school student, scored consecutive points, and pulled off jump shots like Great to see Arenas a few days ago.

"I have an epiphany!" Ellis had these four words written all over his face, feeling that he would be at a loss in the substitute lineup.

Seeing that Ellis was in good condition, Montgomery only replaced Fisher, and then replaced Davis and Ellis to play a double guard lineup, and his speed was further improved.

James was caught by Yang Di's defense, and he shot a three-pointer from the outside, and he also hit it, scoring his own 38th point.

On the other hand, Yang Di used Davis's breakthrough to score the ball, scored two points with a low hand layup, and at the same time caused a foul by Gooden, and responded to James in his own way.

In terms of the details of the game, it is worth recalling.

After Yang Di made the free throw, he also scored his own 30 points. Although he didn't score as much as James, it looked like another big double-double.

Some people say that this season's 03 rookies all exploded.

Wade, Anthony, James and Yang Di all scored more than 25 points per game. Wade and James showed the attitude of top scorers. Yang Di and Anthony were slightly worse, but Yang Di scored [-] points in many games. Added a large double-double, while Anthony is addicted to lore, the two also received a lot of praise.
