NBA villain

Chapter 697

On May 5, the western G22 battle.

After the loss in the G1 game, the Chinese fans were mixed. The two Chinese players each had their own support or preferred player, and there will always be winners and losers in the game, which is unavoidable.

At the Oracle site, there was a black crowd of fans.

The fans made a lot of noise in various ways, but overall, the two teams were very friendly and there was not much conflict in the game.

Compared with the tense Suns and Spurs before, it is too peaceful, and there is no fierce Western Conference Finals at all.

After the start of the G2 match, the harmonious atmosphere was much less. The two sides launched a very rude physical confrontation at the beginning, and even McGrady became ruthless. When Yang Di dunked, he slapped Yang Di on the face.

Yang Di burst into tears immediately, and couldn't open his sore eyes. It took several minutes for him to return to normal.

Afterwards, Chandler also expanded his defensive actions accordingly. Yao Ming's low position is that the two of them are like sumo wrestlers, pulling each other's clothes and moving. The referee couldn't stand it and gave Tyson Chandler a foul.

"What? Why?"

Chandler grabbed the basketball and questioned the referee in puzzlement.

The referee shook his head and ignored Tyson Chandler.

Tyson Chandler wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Yang Di who came over, "Forget it, the referee already knows, and he is going to eat a T."

This season, Tyson Chandler is the one who eats the most T in the Warriors. He often asks the referee to "reason", but his voice is too loud, as if venting his dissatisfaction at the referee. The referee has a "zero tolerance" policy. Naturally, many gave him a technical foul without hesitation.

From the perspective of the meaning of the game, such a technical foul is really meaningless, the key is to beat the opponent.

At 7 minutes and 44 seconds of the first quarter, Monta Ellis, who came off the bench, activated the Warriors' tactical rhythm. The Warriors played a wave of 8-0, leading the Rockets 25-15, forcing the Rockets to call a timeout.

"It was another wave. The anxious situation at the beginning seemed to be just a flash in the pan. The Warriors found an opportunity and delivered a fatal blow."

The Warriors have seen this way of playing many times this season. When they played against the Suns and Spurs in the previous two rounds, they did not have such an effect. This time against the Rockets, they seem to be able to play the most eye-catching special effect.

After returning from the timeout, Yao Ming's low-post attack caused a foul by Chandler. Chandler made two fouls and left the field early, and Biedrins entered the game.

But Biedrins is thin and low in weight. Compared with Yao Ming's thick elephant legs, he is not a heavyweight at all.

Yang Di signaled to switch positions with Biedrins, and then defended Yao Ming himself.

"You can't guard me either."

Yao Ming speaks in Chinese. The NBA is used to using English. It is a very strange feeling to communicate in Chinese for the first time.

Yang Di snorted coldly, his gaze was like a torch. On the field, there were only opponents and teammates. He didn't mean to talk to Yao Ming, and bent his arms against Yao Ming, preventing Yao Ming from easily entering the penalty area.

The Rockets gave up the pick-and-roll, and Yang Di's ability to defend against the pick-and-roll is too strong, so it's better to give Yao Ming a low post to single out Yang Di.

Yang Di's legs stood firmly on the floor, Yao Ming arched inward, and hit Yang Di's body with a "bang".

Yang Di snorted, but didn't move his footsteps. There was still a difference in weight from Yao Ming, but he made up for it in strength, and he was basically able to resist.

Yao Ming turned around for the second time and made a shooting motion.

Yang Di touched the flesh around Yao Ming's waist with one hand, felt the changes in Yao Ming's shooting, and felt that he didn't really want to shoot. He stood sharply on the spot and just stretched out a hand in front of him to interfere.

After Yao Ming paused for a moment, he really made his second shot. Only then did Yang Di jump up, interfering heavily.

"clang!"

The shot misses badly, and Biedrins jumps up and hands the basketball to his teammate, Monta Ellis.

Ordinary inside players will not grab rebounds like Yang Di. They can control the rebounds in their own hands almost every time. Most of the time, they still need to transfer the basketball skillfully.

Protecting backboards is a matter for the entire team.

After halftime, Monta Ellis handed it over to Yang Di, who was also receiving the ball in the low post. Yang Di turned around and held the ball with three threats, with one foot forward and one foot behind.

During the three-threat attack, Yang Di's ball protection is very good. When he protects the ball with his left hand and breaks through to the left, he steps out with his right calf and controls the ball with his left hand on the left. He will use the calf to protect the ball. At the same time, the right hand can block the harassment of defensive players. When ordinary rookies enter the league, there will be many unprofessional areas in ball protection. It is okay to encounter ordinary defenders. When encountering some monsters with unusually long arms, it may be easy. was broken.

Hayes can't stop Yang Di, and he can't cover Yang Di. He can only put enough defensive pressure on Yang Di and hope that his technical movements will deform.

Yang Di swayed to the right and then broke through to the left. His figure was extremely fast and he rushed in in an instant.

"Clap!"

He dribbled the basketball twice on the floor, and Sean Battier double-teamed him in front of him. Yang Di suddenly pulled the ball up, drew a big circle in the air, jumped up and landed, turned around and shot.

Hayes can't cover Yang Di, and Yao Ming has no chance to help defend in the front position.

Yang Di flicked lightly, leaning back, and the basketball easily entered the frame.

"Going in again!" The Rockets fans were full of emotion. The loopholes in the fourth position of the Rockets were undoubtedly revealed. The key is that they can't use Yao Ming to defend Yang Di like they did against the Mavericks in the last round. Yang Di's speed is outside. Small forward level.

Two minutes later, Yang Di handed Monta Ellis a screen, and Ellis missed a three-pointer, but the active Biedrins provoked an offensive rebound.

Yang Di flew in, grabbed the offensive rebound, smashed it on the ground, and jumped high after bouncing off.

Yao Ming couldn't cover Yang Di, so Yang Di pulled the ball out, the basketball hit the basket and hit a difficult layup.

Ray Allen hit another three-pointer, and the Warriors opened fire inside and outside. At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets had already led by 35 points 24 to 11. After a wave of points difference, they did not recover until the end of the first quarter.

Van Gundy sweated profusely, flipping through the tactical note, wondering if there were any key points he missed, but he never thought of a way to deal with the Warriors. The Warriors, like the Suns, are indeed teams that restrain the Rockets. Among the three big and small ball teams, only the Mavericks are the most suitable opponents for the Rockets.

And the Mavericks are not in good shape, and the Rockets can advance to the Western Conference Finals, luck accounts for a large part of the reason.
