NBA villain

Chapter 182

The Blazers' starting lineup is a very strange lineup, center is Theo Ratliff, power forward Zach Randolph, power forward Sharif Abdul-Rahim, shooting guard Derek Anderson, point guard Ball guard Damon Stoudemire.

According to the standard, there is no problem with two guards, two forwards, and one center. But according to the pattern of front and back courts, two back courts and three front courts, the Heat had an outstanding ball-handling power forward like Odom last season. Only then can you try it once in a while, and under normal circumstances, you still have to return to the normal style of play.

Yang Di confronted Ratliff.

Yang Di lowered his eyes silently. Ratliff was the player training card he drew before he entered the league last year. Ratliff had a high block score at his peak and was the top defender in the league. Yang Di can have The good bounce and blocking ability are also thanks to the foundation laid by Ratliff in the system.

Seeing a real person this time, and it was a direct starting matchup, the fire in Yang Di's heart was ignited with a "bang".

"Hey, kid." When Theo Ratliff opened his mouth, Yang Di saw a mouthful of big yellow teeth, which completely subverted the image of black athletes with white teeth in his mind.

The two stood in the middle circle, and in contrast, two strong arms, one black and one yellow, stretched out.

Walking up Yang Di's dark arm, he saw Yang Di's ferocious dragon tattoo, and Yang Di, who was half squatting, was not at a disadvantage compared to Ratliff, who was known as 2 meters tall.

"duo~"

A whistle sounded, and the basketball was thrown straight into the air by the referee.

Drink, Yang Di and Ratliff yelled at the same time, and then he saw that Ratliff, who was so aggressive before the game, seemed to want to set up a life-and-death PK, just stepped on his toes and let Yang, who was more than half of his arm, Di took the ball away, and Yang Di couldn't help but look sideways.

This Ratliff is only 31 years old, it makes no sense to dance so little.

How did he know that after one summer, Ratliff's fat content has increased by seven or eight percentage points, and his body is a little fat and out of shape. Since he signed a three-year, $3 million retirement contract with the Trail Blazers in advance during the offseason, he has indulged himself a bit. It means that this contract is enough for him to play until he is 3500 years old, and by that time, it will be the end of his career, and he can just retire directly.

All in all, Yang Di, who won the jump ball, also won the second wave of applause from the home fans, and the Warriors quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

As an academic coach, Montgomery's own tactical concept is a rigorous positional warfare, so the tactical ideas implemented for the Warriors are mostly high-position pick-and-rolls, flanking, or traditional tactics such as passing from inside to outside, which were also used in the previous training camp. , the tactics that the Warriors practiced the most.

So in the first wave of offense, Fisher tactfully handed the ball to Jason Richardson, the "boss" of the Warriors. He averaged 18 points per game last season, and this season he is heading for the goal of 20 points. .

Richardson hooked Murphy.

Although Murphy's body is loose, the effect of the pick-and-roll is good, but Richardson's offensive ability with the ball is mediocre. Although he bypassed the defensive players, he failed to bypass Randolph who was filling in.As soon as he looked up, he saw a round wall moving sideways in front of him.

Richardson gritted his teeth and leaned over to the left side.

Hiram of the Blazers immediately double-teamed. The reason why the double-team was so timely was because he was an inside player in his bones, and he didn't care about Dunleavy who was outside.

Dunleavy was completely open, but Richardson didn't have the passing awareness, so he made a strong shot under the double-team.

"Dang!" The rebound bounced high.

The three rebounders under the basket, but a big hand that shouldn't be there stretched out in front of them, then grabbed the basketball in the air, paused slightly, stretched out his waist and pushed it, and tapped the ball on the backboard.

After hitting the board and entering the frame, the Warriors succeeded in the second attack and led 2-0.

The fans applauded and cheered Yang Di for the third time, without any noise, which made Yang Di feel very comfortable when he heard it, and trotted back with a lighter pace.

"This guy's offensive rebounds are really good." Montgomery praised Yang Di's offensive rebounding ability in his heart. Although he is an academic coach, he also knows the importance of rebounds in a basketball game. It can be said that nowadays In his basketball theory, in addition to defense, the most important thing is rebounding.

After missing a rebound for nothing, Trail Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks flew into a rage and yelled at the court: "Stay focused, stay focused!"

In fact, what he said was for Theo Ratliff. The biggest reason why Yang Di lost the rebound was that Ratliff's position was not rigorous enough. He was very disappointed with Ratliff who came back from summer vacation. The general manager kept saying that the Blazers should not renew Ratliff's contract in advance. Sure enough, Ratliff, who got a big contract, was lazy.

The Blazers' offense is very characteristic. Damon Stoudemire first tried to see if he could single-handedly beat Fisher successfully. After finding some difficulties, he moved to the wing, and then the shooting guard handed over the attack to Zach in the low post. Randolph, Troy Murphy is stuck behind Randolph on the left, and the right side opens up space for them to play singles.

It's that simple and rude. In Randolph's dictionary, there is no inside line that he can't get over.

The 23-year-old Randolph was there, took the ball and turned to face Murphy with a tentative step, and then dribbled the ball with his right hand and drove to the right.

After crushing Murphy twice, he turned around, dribbled the ball with his left hand to the bottom line, then opened his elbow, and secretly gave Murphy a shot where the referee couldn't see, Murphy dodged away in pain, Randolph's huge body "bang "The ground slanted, and the left hand tilted the handle and threw the ball.

When Yang Dika saw Ratliff saw Randolph, the posture of the ball, he probably couldn't make it, so he quickly stepped forward to prepare for the shot.

But it was still a bit slower, the basketball bounced back towards Randolph himself impartially, he grabbed the rebound with his hands up, Yang Di stuck it up, he lowered his hands to protect, then curled up into a ball, slammed When it hit Yang Di, the weight of 118 kg was really not a cover, and Yang Di was hit straight back in the chest.

Randolph was overjoyed, half turned around and hooked his hands.

Yang Di stood still and interfered, but the ball still missed.

Raheem, who rushed in, stretched out his long arms and tapped the basketball lightly, and the basketball was tapped into the basket.

"Grass!"

Yang Di cursed shamelessly, which means that he is alone with three insiders. Compared with these three, Troy Murphy is as gentle as a sheep.

Returning to the Warriors' offense, Richardson made an air cut to catch the ball and kill it again.

The Blazers were extremely crowded inside. It wasn't just that there were layers, but it was like a pile of chaotic rocks, blocking Richardson's way. He finally reacted this time and moved out to Dunleavy's hands.

Dunleavy had an open shooting opportunity and raised his hand to shoot a standard fixed-point three-pointer.

hit.The Warriors lead 5-2.
