NBA villain

Chapter 189

The start was bad for the Warriors, and Montgomery almost asked for a timeout at 0-5.

Fortunately, Yang Di blocked the shot in time, pulling back the morale of the team that fell below zero. Turning around, Murphy hit the iron while the iron was hot, and scored two points with a low throw, finally breaking the scoring shortage.

"It's really difficult." Yang Di deeply felt the horror of the Spurs' defense. Scoring a goal was like giving birth.

But the more this is the case, the more it arouses his fighting spirit. The defensive end is extremely focused, staring at the constantly changing Spurs formation, defending the basket desperately.

"He is the Warriors' last line of defense. If he loses, the Warriors will be doomed." Later, in an interview with reporters, head coach Montgomery praised Yang Di's defense.

The holy city has seen the vitality of the 20-year-old, and the shadow of No. 8 is everywhere in Nuoda's paint area.

"Snapped!"

Yang Di hit the rebound, jumped up and grabbed it again, protecting the rebound in his arms.

The game entered the mandatory timeout of the first quarter, and the Warriors trailed the Spurs by 9 points 11-2.

Yang Di took a sip of water, gasped heavily, and was thinking about what to do later, when Montgomery said to him, "Yang, you should go off and take a rest first."

"What?" Yang Di spread out his hands, a little puzzled. It had only been 6 minutes at this time, and Yang Di felt that he still had a lot of energy to use or not to play.

"You got a foul on your back, this is your protection." Montgomery explained, and then turned to tell other players about matters on the field.

Yang Di nodded helplessly. If he fouled twice in the first quarter, the whole game might fall into a foul crisis. The Spurs' crazily attacking the inside line just now must have meant to beat him to two fouls, but he didn't expect luck Not so good, Yang Di has been on the verge of fouling and failed to let the Spurs succeed.

Sitting on the bench, Yang Di watched the rest of the Warriors' first quarter.

The Spurs are 23 to 17, leading the Warriors by 6 points.

The two sides rotated the lineup. The Spurs replaced Devin Brown, Brent Barry, Malik Rose and other substitute players. The Warriors replaced Yang Di and veteran Dale David. Adams, small forward Edondo Najera, point guard Luce, and Richardson on the court.

Richardson waved his hand, beckoning Luce to pass inside.

Yang Di stuck Malik Rose in the low position.

Malik Rose is a center from Philadelphia, a blue-collar representative of the golden generation in 96. He is short, but he is good at rebounding and defending, with a tough style, a bit similar to Haslem of the Heat.

Standing up is what he is best at. With his solid tonnage, he can withstand most of the players in the fourth position.

Yang Di is not good at back-up singles. After taking the ball, he directly presses down with both hands, turns around, and stares at Malik with the advantage of being half a head taller.

"Come on, Chinese, let me see what you are capable of!" Ross spouted unnutritious trash talk, staring at Yang Di, his whole body tensed up, not daring to be careless.

Yang Di sticks out his right foot and dribbles to the right to break through.

Then his left foot stepped out to the left like lightning, the basketball hit the ground with his crotch, and returned to the non-dominant left hand to dribble. full of heart.

Malik Rose only felt a huge force coming, and his shoulder was bounced away, making a passage.

Yang Di stepped on the ground with his left foot, put his right hand together to stabilize the basketball, and then jumped up obliquely, with a loud bang, he pushed the ball into the basket with his left hand.

Wow~ San Antonio fans exclaimed.

Yang Di's dunk was too domineering, and the one that flew up from the ground was like a thunderbolt on the ground, giving people a strong visual impact. Even fans who were opponents couldn't help expressing emotion-it was really fierce.

The Spurs attacked, Brent Barry missed a jumper, and the backboard was protected by Dale Davis.

In the frontcourt, Yang Di and Richardson made a high pick-and-roll. Richardson hit the ground to Najera, who was on the outside. Najera stepped in and killed, disrupting the Spurs' formation.

Made a mistake in the chaos, the dribble was cut off by Barry, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and the Spurs counterattacked.

In the frontcourt, Barry was not in a hurry to attack. His style of play was very steady, and he waited for all the Spurs players to come over before falling back into position.

As a result, when the sideline broke through, Devin Brown was blown for a walk.

One mistake by each side equals a tie.

Returning to the frontcourt to attack, Yang Di raised his arm high and went out to the outside line to make a pick-and-roll for the defender Luce who was holding the ball. Luce turned to the middle with the help of the pick-and-roll.

Yang Di went down, and Malik Rose put aside the defensive Luce and stared at Yang Di.

Luce directly attacked the basket without any defense. At the last kick, the wing players who rushed out of the Spurs made up for the defense. The waist and abdomen were not strong enough, and the basketball hit the basket [-] to [-] centimeters outrageously.

Yang Di and Malik Rose shouted at the same time and jumped up together.

Yang Di's wingspan still has an advantage, coupled with his jumping ability and height, before Malik Rose touched the basketball, he immediately slapped the ball to the ground.

The basketball rebounded, and Yang Di stretched out his hand to grab it, hit Malik Rose hard, and jumped up after getting a little space.

"boom!"

The wrists were pressed down, the hoops were hung with both hands, and the basketball stand was trembling.

"Grass!"

Malik Rose is disheartened, Yang Di is too strong, and when the basket is deep, he can't do anything about him with a forced dunk.

21 to 23, the Warriors were only 2 points behind, and Yang Di found the feeling of leading the bench to chase points last season.

The difference is that this time, he served as the team's main attack point. The Warriors gave him many opportunities to attack independently in the low post, and Yang Di tried various techniques.

After Richardson rested, Yang Di had more ball possessions, and many of the Warriors' balls were passed to him.

At 8 minutes and 14 seconds into the second quarter, the Warriors tied the score and the Spurs called a timeout.

"This kind of situation, maybe Greg Popovich didn't even think about it, Huo, Yang Di is really good." The host Zhang Weiping, who broadcast the game on Chaoting TV, said with a smile.

"Yes."

Just like talking about cross talk, Yang Jian, who was teamed up with each other, answered the question, "Yang Di's energy on the court is too strong. He left the court early in the first quarter, allowing him to ensure sufficient physical fitness. Now he has got 8 Six rebounds and two blocks, basically equaling his averages in the first half of the season."

"I don't know how Popovich will respond. I think the Spurs are very difficult on the court now. Yang Di has caused too much damage. I think he may replace Duncan in advance."

As soon as the words fell, the Spurs, who came back from the timeout, still maintained the original bench lineup.

"Ahem~" Yang Jian interjected, "Come on, let's take a look at the audience's text messages..."
