Chapter 146 The first round against the Hornets ([-])
In 02, the Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans and became the New Orleans Hornets. At the same time, the league agreed with Charlotte to form a new team, promising that they will be able to participate in the NBA2004-05 season, which is the next season. .The name of the new team formed was also voted by fans as early as last year, named Bobcats.

The league has confirmed that the Bobcats will conduct an expansion draft on June 6. At that time, the other 22 teams in the league will protect up to 29 players from their own team, and the rest of the players may be picked up by the newly joined Bobcats.

At this time, the Hornets, in New Orleans, participated in the regular season as an Eastern team, and it is very likely that they will become an Eastern team in the last year.

The Hornets start with All-Star Baron Davis at point guard, David Wesley at shooting guard, George Lynch at small forward, PJ Brown at power forward, and Jamal Magloire at center .

The Heat are Wade, Eddie Jones, Caron Butler, Lamar Odom and Brian Grant.

The two sides stood side by side on both sides of the middle circle, looking at each other's opponents coldly.

Off the field, on the bench.

As soon as Yang Di sat down, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

He turned his head and saw the beautiful Nancy sitting two rows back, and the equally charming female colleague sitting beside her. When Nancy saw him turn his head, she immediately waved it. tiny hand.

Yang Di smiled and showed her eight white teeth, and waved at the two of them.

"She greeted us, buddy, wow, this girl looks very good-looking!" Michael Curry exclaimed, his mouth opened, and his saliva almost didn't flow.

Yang Di's face darkened, and he turned his head away, "Watch the game, Michael."

……

Wade and the others obviously moved very stiffly. Amidst the cheers at home, they couldn't make any expressions, their pupils dilated, and they were obviously shy when attacking.

On the contrary, the Hornets are a traditional strong team. Baron Davis has entered the playoffs for the fifth season. The sound had no effect on him.

Wade is the main defense against Davis. Both of them are very strong in physical fitness, and they are very interesting in confrontation.

After half a quarter, the Hornets led the Heat by 13 points 7 to 6.

Van Gundy waved to Yang Di, and Yang Di stood up and walked to Van Gundy's side.

Stan Van Gundy pointed to the situation on the court, and said to Yang Di: "Yang, the Hornets have strong rebounding ability inside. It goes without saying that Jamal Magloire was selected as an All-Star this year. PJ Brown I have always been known for being good at grabbing frontcourt rebounds. You should have seen the current situation on the court. Dwyane and others don’t feel good. Rebounds are especially critical. I hope that you can play, not only to protect the backcourt Rebounds, but also have an impact on the Hornets' offensive rebounds, do you have the confidence to do it?"

"No problem, coach." Yang Di nodded. He was just a little surprised. He didn't expect that Stan would replace him in advance in the playoffs. Isn't he worried that he would also be nervous?
But Yang Di thought about it, that's right, no matter how nervous he is, it doesn't matter if he doesn't need to dribble and shoot, but just do defense and rebounding.

"duo~"

With the sound of the long whistle, Yang Di changed to the field.

Time: 5 minutes and 03 seconds.

Score: The Heat trailed the Hornets by 9 points 15 to 6.

Yang Di is still a center forward, and his opponent, Magloire, who is 2 meters tall, weighs 11 kilograms. Relatively speaking, Yang Di is simply a lightweight player.

The Heat quickly set up their formation, Wade passed the frontcourt, and frequently guided the ball from the outside.

"Pick and roll!"

Yang Di shook off the entangled Magloire and went beyond the three-point line to set up a pick-and-roll for Wade. Baron Davis hit him from the side like a crazy little steel cannon.

There was a "bang" between the two, and there was a loud noise from the place where they touched, and they each groaned.

Davis quickly adjusted and ran over Yang Di's side. Magloire on the other side reached out to delay Wade's dribble. The pick-and-roll effect was not played, and Baron Davis caught up with Wade Germany.

Yang Di wanted to go down, Magloire moved sideways with a small step, and then secretly grabbed Yang Di's clothes with his big hands, and the two of them pulled into the inside line together. For Yang Di at this time, there was nothing particularly good Opportunity.

"Isn't the referee blowing at this intensity?" Yang Di found that Wade didn't risk passing the ball after entering the inside lane, and then went out of the paint.

Wade passed to Butler in the bottom corner. Caron Butler took a deep breath and threw the ball with his feet on his feet. Lynch defended him with a standard posture and almost covered his palm.

"Bang~"

With such intensity, most of the shots are out of the frame. Magloire opened his hands and knew that Yang Di was behind him without looking at anyone. His waist sank, and he stuck Yang Di on the outside of the paint area. .

PJ-Brown on the inside took the ball and gave it to Baron Davis who was standing on the side.

"Damn it!" Yang Di stepped back to defend, and felt a little upset because he didn't have a chance to grab an offensive rebound.

Baron Davis advanced with the ball, the Heat retreated quickly, and he was not in a hurry to attack. He waited for his teammates to come over from beyond the three-point line, then reached out to call for his teammates to move, and gave the ball to George on the wing- Lynch.

Davis used the cover of the insiders to catch the ball out of the three-point line.

A little to the left of the top of the arc, Davis dribbled the ball and stepped to the right, throwing off Wade's defense, Lynch made an air cut from the bottom corner, and Davis looked at Yang Di who was rushing over, showing a disdainful smile .

"Hit the ball without looking!"

All eyes were attracted by Baron Davis turning his head. Only the Heat coach, Stan Van Gundy, saw Baron Davis' bold and subtle pass!

George Lynch "rubbed" the ground, stepped on the line of the three-second zone, and jumped up, gliding in the air like an eagle.

The 34-year-old George Lynch is a veteran who has fought for many years in the league. He is 2 meters tall and weighs 03 kilograms. He is also the holder of the steal record at the University of North Carolina. He is famous for his defense and rebounds. It is as simple as eating and drinking water.

"Dunk them!" Baron Davis yelled, excitedly watching Lynch's raised left hand, grabbing the basketball with one hand.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the side.

No. 8 pierced fiercely from the side, like a wolf seeing its prey, slowly accelerated, and then suddenly stepped on the floor, silently, but attended Lynch's side at the most critical moment.

Lynch saw Yang Di, the man who blocked Carter's dunk head-on. Even though he had seen the big wind and waves, he panicked, his heart beat, and his reaction was half a beat slow.

"Snapped!"

Yang Di slapped the basketball off first, and then continued to caste, covering the backboard with his palm.

Excellent defense awareness, amazing jumping ability, wonderful chasing and blocking shots!
