Chapter 151 The first round against the Hornets ([-])
The ball is in Odom's hands, and Yang Di is ambushing on the other side of the baseline.

Wade, Rasual Butler and Odom formed a triangle position on the outside. Odom pushed PJ-Brown with his back. Brown did not have a big disadvantage in terms of weight and strength.

"After the start of the second half, both sides' outside shooting percentages were not high, so they tried to attack as close to the basket as possible."

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Wade suddenly inserted quickly from the top of the three-point arc.

His speed was very fast, like a sharp knife piercing straight into the paint area of ​​the Hornets. Baron Davis stopped shouting and slid sideways. Lynch on the other side also came over to help defend.

Odom dribbled hard and hit PJ-Brown. Wade didn't have a chance to run, so he decided to attack by himself.

Wade's air cut also distracted PJ-Brown's defensive attention. Odom suddenly exploded, turned around and dribbled the ball to the baseline where there was not much space. mobile phone opportunities.

In the middle distance from the bottom line, Odom made a sideways jumper.

The Heat lead the Hornets by 65 points 60 to 5.

Tim Floyd stood up, walked to the sidelines, and made a time-out gesture with both hands. The linesman saw his request, and Baron Davis blew his whistle as soon as halftime passed, entering time-out time .

"A real playoff game should be like this. If something goes wrong, immediately request a timeout. During the game, the Hornets and the Heat each took the lead. On the whole, the tactical quality of the two teams is very high. , is a very strong NBA team, no wonder the regular season has achieved a very good record." Smith's commentary is relatively official, although the Heat are leading, but everyone knows that the game is far from over.

Yang Di has scored 8 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks, and his performance is quite eye-catching.

In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, he grabbed the 10th rebound of the game, but at the same time received his fourth personal foul, which was committed on Baron Davis.

The gangster-like beard was slapped down from the air by Yang Di. The referee believed that Yang Di violated Byron's offense and blew Yang Di's defensive foul.Yang Di felt very wronged. He was rushing to block the shot, but he didn't block Baron Davis.

"This is probably the price of growth." Yang Di was forced to leave the court early for a rest, and Yang Jian and Zhang Weiping sighed.

Stan Van Gundy thought about it, let Haslem take the fifth position, and then combined with Odom to resort to a small lineup with quick counterattacks. Haslem and Yang Di have similar roles, and they also have the same tough style. Against David -West is not at a disadvantage.

Yang Di walked off the stage, draping the towel over his shoulders depressedly.

At the same time, Wade also took a break, sat next to Yang Di, and stretched out his hand.

Yang Di grinned at the corner of his mouth, rolled his hands down, and gave him a high five.

"The playoffs are like this, full of confrontation and fouls, but how to grasp the scale of the referee's penalty, I think you and I need to learn." Wade has a feeling of sympathy, and he has committed three fouls. But he is not a defensive interior player.

"The last time I was careless, I didn't expect Baron Davis to come here for a foul. I said how could he fly to the basket facing me who was fully prepared!" Yang Di shook his head, Jiang was still old and hot , There are indeed many details in the playoffs that are worth paying attention to and learning from.

His only worry is that because of the four fouls on his back, the coach will not let him play, right?He is a substitute anyway, and it shouldn't matter if the sixth offender is on the field. I don't know what the coach is thinking.

"Protect yourself." Wade seemed to see Yang Di's thoughts, "At the last moment of the playoffs, the coach will definitely keep all the chess pieces to fight, and there will be different changes for different situations."

Yang Di was thoughtful, thinking of the first half assistant coach Walker and what he said was "uncommon". Wade probably meant the same thing.

Sure enough, in the next game, Van Gundy did not take the risk of letting Yang Di play. Instead, he let Grant, who had ample rest time, play the game. In the fourth quarter, the difference between the two teams narrowed to 1 point, and the score began to rise alternately. Even more intense and hot.

The fans in the American Airlines arena shouted all night, their voices were almost hoarse, and this critical moment almost made people's breathing stagnate.

From 6 minutes and 49 seconds of the fourth quarter until 3 minutes and 11 seconds, the two teams fell into a scoring drought at the same time. The score was fixed at 76 to 75 and remained unchanged. The Hornets led by 1 point.

"I'm so anxious! Goal, replace Yang Di." Nancy and her colleague Lily, who were sitting on the sidelines, yelled to the Heat's bench to replace Yang Di. So small that only they can hear them.

But Stan Van Gundy has been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai until the court suddenly changed again.

Baron Davis suddenly accelerated and rushed into the Heat's inside line, his beard was floating in the air, his powerful body stepped gracefully in the air, and in a sharp and rapid moment, he faced the last defense. Brian Grant, with both hands looping around the big drawbar.

Confrontation, landing, whistle, goal.

"AndOne!" At the critical moment of two plus one, Baron Davis roared towards the camera, and the loud roar was transmitted to the ears of the audience in front of the TV through the loudspeaker.

There was a wave of boos all over the court, and Baron Davis also made a free throw, 79 to 75, and the Heat trailed by 4 points.

Brian Grant also fouled four times. The key is that this goal made the Heat's situation very unfavorable. Stan Van Gundy immediately called another timeout.

"Dy Yang," Stan Van Gundy called out.

Yang Di stood up suddenly, did he finally reach him?

After the players came off the court, Van Gundy said: "The rotation of players is now going on. The Hornets have a high advantage inside. We need to compete for offensive rebounds at this last moment. Yang Di, Bryan, I hope you will focus on the overall situation. This last moment To play together, we need the power of the two of you in the paint."

Yang Di was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect to let him and Grant play together.He turned his head and glanced at Grant. Grant was silent and did not make a sound. The two of them acquiesced to the coach's words.

"Caron, take a rest." The head coach has absolute scheduling power at this time, and Caron Butler, who is not feeling well, was replaced by him at a critical moment.

There was a trace of sadness in Butler's eyes, and he nodded to express his understanding.

Then Stan Van Gundy took out the tactical board, and Odom moved to the small forward position. The Heat have three big men and two small men. For rebounds, it's better to defend against one person, but it's not a little bit more difficult to defend against two people rushing.

Van Gundy actually thought of this a long time ago, but he never tried it this way. When it was a last resort in the playoffs, he could only try this way.

At 2 minutes and 51 seconds of the final quarter, Yang Di appeared again. The huge No. [-] jersey seemed to change its color under the light, full of magical charm.

"Ding, immediate task - first win in the playoffs, leading the Heat to complete the first win in the playoffs of the 03-04 season."
