Chapter 708 Reentry to Final Four

ESPN compared James and Yang Di and found that both of them contributed a lot to the team's victory.

Yang Diqiang is strong. He is an inside player. Yang Di is good at grabbing rebounds. He will contribute about 5 offensive rebounds in a game. This adds 5 more shots to the Warriors for no reason.

The confrontation between the two is a highlight of the finals, and it is also the focus of the NBA's direct publicity.

After all, they are the leaders of their respective teams.

The Warriors and Ray Allen are the stars of the best team. Except for James, the Cavaliers have no players selected for the best team or the best defensive team. The Cavaliers are undoubtedly a single-core team.

In addition to the comparison of role players, in terms of overall strength, the Warriors are obviously better than the Cavaliers.

After the opening, the Warriors really took the lead, and then the Cavaliers unexpectedly hit a three-pointer to pay back. The Warriors were hit by a layup by Yang Di, leading 4 to 3. The Cavaliers missed the offense. To the inside Chandler, the hook shot also missed.

In the finals game, the players looked nervous, especially the Cavaliers, who played in the finals for the first time, were even more rigid.

Montgomery also knew this, so he chose to attack the inside line at the beginning of the game, and waited for the players to start their physical activities and their blood continued to boil, and then slowly chose the Warriors' traditional internal and external blooming.

Judging from the competition experience, such a small skill can only be understood by veteran coaches who have participated in the finals.

Montgomery also stole from Pat Riley's side last year.

The Warriors pursue stability, and the defensive end meticulously implements the zone defense arranged during the training phase, mainly targeting the destructive James.

James only felt that the Warriors' defense was layered on top of each other, and they couldn't easily get inside.

After passing one defense, there will be another defense to match him immediately, and after the defense, it should be misplaced theoretically. The Warriors are lucky, and they can't wait to use Yang Di to defend James, which is more in line with their wishes.

Yang Di has skills in blocking the outside line. James played extremely hard when he was only stuck in his position and did not steal.

It was as if he had returned to last summer's World Championships all of a sudden, that feeling of interference at the last moment after being given space.

James didn't have any great opportunities to concentrate on making wedding dresses for his teammates.

It's a pity that after Larry Hughes hit the first three-pointer, he never made any goals.

The Warriors' shooting percentage was not too high either. Yang Di faced a big Z's defense and missed the shot. In 5 minutes, he made a fake move to shake Gooden, and then got up and shot back successfully.

Yang Di scored 4 points.

In the middle of the first quarter, James made a steal and launched a fast break when Ray Allen made a pass error. Taking advantage of the Warriors player's unsteady landing, he made a mid-range jumper.

Yang Di took a break early in the first quarter, leaving Biedrins with nearly 4 minutes of playing time. As usual, at least after the first quarter, Biedrins only played.

"Physical consumption is also great. He and LeBron are facing each other. I hope he can put more energy into the offense in the second quarter."

Montgomery explained to Ron Adams that seeing that the defense was so good that the score could not be opened, Montgomery immediately made a small adjustment.

Without Yang Di switching defenses, James suddenly switched to the spring. Taking advantage of the neutral position of the pick-and-roll cover, he leaned over to hit the inside line, knocked away the thin inside line Biedrins, and succeeded in a low-handed layup.

Since then, the Cavaliers have also made substitutions, and the rookie Daniel Gibson, who played super in the G6 game of the Eastern Conference finals, played.

"Pay attention to the perimeter defense and expand the perimeter defense!"

Montgomery yelled twice to remind the players to pay attention.

At the same time, Trevor Ariza, Monta Ellis and other players played, Daniel Gibson is only 1 meters tall, the Warriors can only use Monta Ellis to defend, and the rest of the wing players are A tall and large wing defender over 88 meters will suffer in terms of flexibility and agility.

This is why the Warriors chose Shannon Brown last year. The goal is to create a defensive player on the back line. Unfortunately, Shannon Brown has not yet met the requirements of the head coach. And the defense is a mess.

Daniel Gibson was really in a hot state. He came up with a set of changes in front of his body, directly swayed Monta Ellis, broke through to the inside, and then made a collective one-step jumper.

The audience at the scene froze for a moment. People who didn't know thought Iverson had joined the Cavaliers?

"Why is this young general so powerful?"

The commentator at the scene commented for a while. It turned out that Daniel Gibson had been a substitute for the Cavaliers before. He played against the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals. He made his first appearance in the playoffs in the third game. This time he seized the opportunity. He scored 2 points with 3 hits and 9 points, and also stole Prince at a critical moment in the fourth quarter.

Everyone knows what happened after that. He scored 6 points in the G31 game and became famous in the first battle.

Up to now, he has fully won the trust of coach Mike Brown, and he appeared in the game before the end of the first quarter.

"Hold on!"

Monta Ellis' paper-like defense made Montgomery feel bad. Montgomery raised the issue of defense with Monta Ellis more than once. As a result, Monta Ellis had nothing but gambling steals. Not even Shannon Brown, who is physically stronger.

If Monta Ellis' defense was a little better, even if he didn't have any organizational skills, Montgomery would have put him in the starting position.

The last 2 minutes came off the bench, and at the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Cavaliers 22 to 20 by 2 points.

Although the rhythm has changed, in fact the two teams did not score many points. The shooting percentages of both sides in the first quarter were very low, which made the game more unpredictable and unpredictable.

Yang Di played at the beginning of the second quarter, and Ray Allen took a rest.

The two Warriors stars are equivalent to taking turns leading the team to ensure that there is a superstar on the court.

Monta Ellis likes to play pick-and-roll with Yang Di the most. As soon as Yang Di comes on the court, he immediately performs a high pick-and-roll with him.

Mid-range hit.

"nice shot!"

In the Warriors, apart from Yang Di, Monta Ellis has the second most mid-range shots, even more than Ray Allen.

Daniel Gibson of the Cavaliers is also sloppy defensively. The two seem to be brushing each other's statistics.

After two rounds, Yang Di received a pass from Ariza in the low position, and singled the Cavaliers' backup power forward Donyell Marshall with his back. Marshall is a veteran who is almost 35 years old. Step over, turn around and shoot a jumper.

Marshall couldn't interfere enough and watched Yang Di make a mid-range shot.

At this time, the Warriors led the Cavaliers by 31 points 24 to 6. Mike Brown called a timeout, and the Cavaliers were beaten by the Warriors for the first time in the game.
