Chapter 191 Unstable Warrior

The Spurs called the penultimate timeout of the game.

The fans at the scene did not speak quietly, covered their hands and looked up. On the big screen, the time was fixed at 1 minute and 12 seconds of the fourth quarter. The score: Warriors 91 to 89 led by 2 points.

Before the game, no one could have imagined that the Warriors represented by the fish belly could push the Spurs to this point.

In the previous key ball stage, the Warriors were not inferior to the Spurs, especially Fisher and Richardson, each scored a key ball, allowing the Warriors to take the lead.Fisher's goal against the boos of the audience touched the nerves of many Spurs fans, and the memory was brought back to before the beginning of the summer.

"They may choose to let Tim Duncan attack inside," Montgomery's eyes moved to Yang Di's body, the forehead of the No. 8 young man was covered with sweat, and his whole body was soaked as if he had been fished out of the water up.

Tired, really tired, Yang Di has never felt so tired.Sure enough, last season in the Heat, he didn't have to worry about his physical strength when he was on the bench. As soon as he became the main player and his playing time increased to more than 10 minutes, physical problems would arise spontaneously. Even though he gritted his teeth, he could still clearly feel his legs trembling , sitting there feebly, not listening.

"If Duncan goes to the low post, you can defend alone. You have to be careful of his fake moves after turning around. The shot is likely to be a fake. Pay attention to his feet." There are too many professional things. Montgomery can't tell, This should be the job of the defensive coach. He can only make personnel arrangements, and arrange for Yang Di to defend Duncan alone at the last moment.

No way, Yang Di's performance is too convincing, 16 points, 20 rebounds and 4 blocked shots. If it is not even addiction, people think that he may have broken his own single-game rebound record.

What makes Chinese fans even more crazy is that Yang Di has grabbed 20 rebounds twice in just five games.

This is crazy, you know, even Yao Ming, who has always been proud of the No. 19 pick, has only 1 rebounds in a single game so far, and only once.It feels like Yang Di's hands seem to have magic power, and the rebounds frantically converge on his hands.

The timeout ends and the Spurs serve from the sideline.

Without Montgomery's arrangement, Yang Di also knew that he should defend Duncan, because the Spurs made a lineup change at a critical moment. Nesterovic was replaced and Brent Barry was replaced.

This is a typical lineup of one big and four small. Montgomery's heart skipped a beat, wanting something bad.

Sure enough, Duncan didn't enter the inside singles at all, but ran to the high post to catch the ball, then set a hand-off pass screen for Tony Parker, and then set an off-ball screen for Ginobili on the wing. Nobili catches the ball and throws off Richardson and breaks in.

Yang Di let go of Duncan, chased Ginobili, and stared at him like a poisonous snake.

Ginobili flicked his long hair, saw the Chinese who had given him a big hit in the first half, and just followed behind silently.

Ginobili cursed insidiously. He can guarantee that no matter how hard he twists, as long as he lays up, he will definitely be blocked by the guy with exaggerated jumping ability behind him.No, even if it is a dunk, it is very likely to be banned.

There was a playful look in his eyes, poor little guy, this time, it's no longer a simple air cut tactic!
Ginobili flicked his wrist and flicked his big hand, and the basketball roared and turned into a yellow light, flashing past Yang Di's face.

"what?"

Yang Di was taken aback, and couldn't help but look to the side along the path of the ball, and his face turned pale.

On the right bottom corner, Brent Barry, who had just replaced him, was standing there, unguarded three meters in front of him!
Step up, hands up, shoot!

"Shh!"

The basketball passed through his heart, and Yang Di couldn't help but clenched his hand bones, and his heart creaked into anger. At this critical moment, damn defense, damn open space!
Troy Murphy raised his hand, indicating that the ball was on him, and he ran in to cover Duncan, missing Barry.

But the problem is, even if he fills in, he should also care about Ginobili's passing route, completely allowing Ginobili to throw out a limit passing space.

92 to 91, the fans of the Holy City cheered loudly, and finally saw the Spurs overtake their opponents again.

"Our Spurs are still solid."

"At the critical moment, the tactics were played, and Brent Barry was completely open. The two head coaches are not on the same level at all."

Montgomery's face was livid, and Popovich made a move, but he didn't understand, how dare he make such an arrangement, what if he misses a three-pointer?
There is no "what if" in the dictionary of life. Just in case is a word that only losers think about.

The Warriors' timeout meeting was very deep, but Yang Di's eyes gradually brightened.

He looked at the bench. At this time last year, he could only sit on the bench and watch his teammates play at critical moments. This year, he can participate in every critical moment of the team's offense and defense.In the bottom of my heart, Yang Di suddenly felt a sense of trembling. Inexplicably, the adrenal hormones soared, this feeling
The referee directed the Warriors players to take their positions on the court.

In the elbow area, Yang Di, Murphy, and Richardson stood in a group. If you don't watch carefully, you can't see how they stand. The fans only feel that the Spurs seem to surround these three people.

Off the ball screen, switch defenses, Richardson out of the three-point line.

The ball didn't catch up, and the Spurs expanded their defensive range. Seeing this, Yang Di immediately took the initiative to go out, and Dunleavy quickly gave the ball to Yang Di.

Before starting to dribble, Ginobili took the initiative to post it. The Spurs stood in three and two positions, and at the critical moment they resorted to zone defense. Yang Di failed to dribble the ball and gave it to Fisher again.

Richardson shook off the entangled Bruce Bowen and didn't read the change on the field after receiving the ball.

According to the coach's instructions, Richardson found Yang Di's high pick-and-roll, then turned around and broke through. Before taking two steps, the Spurs shrank their defense at once, like a fishing net that caught their prey. As if squeezed by them.

Richardson yelped in rage, and almost missed it.

Stop the ball and pass it out, back to Fisher.

Fisher was also uncomfortable, but he still made an immediate command to let Dunleavy go to the bottom corner, although he didn't know if he could pass the ball.

The Spurs, who have expanded their defense, are already showing a delicious weakness, and a large open space lures the Warriors to break through.

Yang Di made an empty cut and Richardson forced a shot at the top of the arc
in!

Hit the three-pointer! When the 24-second attack time was approaching, Richardson insisted on scoring a positive three-pointer, which once again helped the Warriors overtake the Spurs.

Yang Di rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe it. Anyway, if he didn't score this goal, he probably wouldn't be able to grab the rebound.

But he just went in, and Popovich, embarrassed and at a loss for what to say, stood up and called the final timeout.
