NBA villain

Chapter 207 Rule
35 points in a single quarter is also the Warriors' highest score in a single quarter since the new season. Yang Di scored 6 points and 8 rebounds in this quarter, all of which were defensive rebounds.

At the end of the third quarter, he has already scored 15 points and 17 rebounds, and he is heading for Double Twenty.

"Yang Di's rebounding is very strong, so even if his scoring ability is not as good as Yao Ming's, the statistics are better than Yao Ming recently." Cai Nan said realistically: "The important criterion for comparing an insider is rebounding. This season, Yang Di Leading the league in rebounds per game."

"As long as the Warriors make some shots from the outside like today, I think the Warriors are still very promising this season." Yu Jia said, the implication is that the Warriors have no big problem inside today, but whether the outside can be matched with Yang Di. .

"That's right." Cai Nan echoed: "If the outside line can be opened, the inside space will also be large, which will also help Yang Di to grab offensive rebounds."

The two are now like Yang Chuan No. [-] and Yang Chuan No. [-], but the fans listen to it with gusto.

In the decisive stage of the final quarter, the Timberwolves' bench is still much better than that of the Warriors. Players who have been baptized in the Western Conference playoffs can do a lot of details when they are serious.

The score was eroded, and Montgomery reluctantly called a timeout to stop the decline of the players on the field.

At 9 minutes and 11 seconds, Montgomery replaced Richardson in advance.

After Richardson came on the court, he really helped the Warriors stabilize their position. By making fouls and mid-range jumpers, they achieved the level of rivalry.

Garnett, Sprewell and others also returned to the court.

At 7 minutes and 03 seconds, Montgomery replaced Yang Di and Fisher back on the court at the same time. Among the Warriors' starting five, only power forward Murphy remained on the court.

Yang Di pointed to Dale Davis, and the two passed by.

"Come on!" Dale Davis encouraged softly.

"Don't worry!" Yang Di patted his chest, then reached into his pants, re-tied his belt, and stood beside Garnett.

Sure enough, in the next second, Garnett spewed out trash talk.

Yang Di's veins were throbbing, and a burst of anger burst out of his heart, but his mind became calmer, and a calm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the confrontation with Garnett became more intense.

After two rounds, Sprewell made a successful throw, and the Timberwolves tied the score 99-99.

The Warriors advanced to the frontcourt. Richardson singled Sprewell with his back and went up the line with Yang Di's pick-and-roll. The Warriors made a cross at the elbow and Fisher shot a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

Missed, the rebound bounced very far, and Yang Di, who was stuck behind Garnett, grabbed the rebound.

Deng Lewei, who was at 45 degrees on the right, raised his arms high, and Yang Di saw it clearly, so he moved the ball over. Deng Lewei simply made another three-pointer and hit it!
102 to 99. At such a critical moment, every point is crucial. After scoring this goal, the mentality of both sides has changed.

The Warriors breathed a sigh of relief, and the Timberwolves' nerves tightened even more.

Then there were four more rounds in which the two sides did not score, and the score remained at 102 to 99. The coaches of both sides also held a few timeouts, expecting the players to adjust themselves.

At 4 minutes and 27 seconds, Cassel and Garnett played a high-quality pick-and-roll, and Garnett was half a body ahead of Yang Di after receiving the ball.

Turning around, Yang Di returned to the defense, and Garnett took the ball and flew in the air with one step. At this time, Murphy, who was playing, came to defend and accidentally hit the shaking Garnett's arm.

"Beep~" The referee called Murphy for a foul, and Garnett went to the free throw line.

Garnett made two free throws and scored the 25th point of the game. The presence of the court is particularly strong.

The Warriors attacked, Fisher hit the ground to Yang Di, Yang Di forced Garnett with his back, attracted double-teams and passed to the outside, Richardson shook the defender and missed a jumper.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Sprewell missed a mid-range jumper.

Yang Di got the rebound and counterattacked. Dunleavy made a three-pointer in the frontcourt and missed it. However, Murphy grabbed the rebound and gave it to Yang Di. Yang Di broke through and knocked away Garnett who was defending. , Putting the ball into the basket half-throwing and half-shooting. 104 to 101.

At 2 minutes and 33 seconds, Szczerbiak made a three-pointer and the Timberwolves tied the score.

The point difference between the two sides was very close, and the offensive end always performed intermittently. The nerves of the audience were tense, and the three-point tie this time made Montgomery unable to sit still. He immediately called a timeout and prepared to Deploy deployment tactics.

Montgomery set up a pick-and-roll tactic after Richardson's cover received the ball. The screener was Yang Di, and the pick-and-roller was Murphy. After Murphy evacuated from the three-point line, he opened up space for Richardson to break through At the same time, Yang Di, who is ambushing on the bottom line, will also have the opportunity to attack the basket.

But I didn't expect that the execution of the tactics was mediocre. The main reason was that the Timberwolves adopted the tactic of double-teaming the ball holder. Richardson, who was average in dribbling, missed a good opportunity to pass the ball in order to protect the ball.

In the end, this wave of offense evolved into Richardson's singles against Sprewell, who missed a mid-range pull-up jumper.

Montgomery shook his head. The lack of a real outside offense is still too obvious. Sanders' targeted defense has hindered the entire field.

Garnett singled out Yang Di, and when time was running out, he chose a mid-step jumper and missed. Yang Di turned around and grabbed his 20th rebound of the game.

After more than 1 minute, the game entered a fierce stage, and the audience in the Bay Area concentrated their attention and stood up and shouted.

Fisher passed the ball to Richardson, who was cut in the air. Richardson was double-teamed and only saw Yang Di in his vision, so he had to pass the ball to Yang Di.

After Yang Di took the ball and attacked the basket, the Timberwolves shrank in a large area.

At this time, if he can pass the ball, it will be a good ball, but Yang Di's passing skills are average, and only the basket is left in his eyes. He shot against Garnett's help defense and missed.

The Timberwolves requested a timeout. 1 minute 09 seconds.

……

After a timeout, the Timberwolves serve from the sideline, and the ball is still handed over to Garnett. Yang Di is still defending behind, and the Timberwolves all open up space.

Garnett came to the frame to prepare for a strong attack, and Richardson came to help defend.

Garnett quickly shifted the ball, and Sprewell tried to shake Richardson, but failed, and made physical contact with Richardson when he broke through.

Sprewell passes to Kassel, who passes to Szczerbiak who comes out of a screen.

Szczerbiak made a jumper against Murphy who was supplementing the defense and made a hit. 106 to 104, at the critical time, Szczerbiak stepped forward and scored 5 points in a row, helping the Timberwolves overtake the score!
The Warriors paused, and Montgomery felt very sorry. In fact, the Warriors have already defended very well, and they have also implemented the concept of rotation defense, but players will have a hit rate on shots. If they make key shots, there is no way.

The audience's voices instantly quieted down, and the audience covered their mouths, feeling uncomfortable as if their chests were blocked.

After a timeout, the Warriors serve from the sideline.

Yang Di pouted, Richardson ran past him, Fisher served him, then Richardson dribbled to the middle, on the other side, Fisher ran into the three-point line, still It was cut in with Yang Di's cover.

The Timberwolves probably knew the Warriors' defensive strategy, and all the staff shrank inside, leaving only Szczerbiak staring at Dunleavy who ran out of the three-point line to feint, and did not give Dunleavy a chance to catch the ball.Richardson on the three-point line is in a dilemma. If he breaks in, he faces the Timberwolves' defense like a copper wall, but if he doesn't go in, Sprewell can still form enough shooting interference for him.

Only Yang Di is open, and because he is close to the three-point line, Garnett is tantamount to giving Yang Di room to shoot.He simply didn't believe that Yang Di, who didn't make a few mid-range and long-range shots in a game, would make a shot at such a critical moment. If he didn't make a shot, he would be held accountable the most.

Richardson took a look at Yang Di and passed the ball. He meant to let Yang Di stabilize and wait for him to come over to respond, or do a hand-off pass to cover or something.

After Yang Di received the ball, his heart couldn't stop beating wildly.

He didn't even hear a subtle electronic synthesis sound in his mind amidst the cheering sound of the audience cheering like a tsunami.

Garnett took a step back to defend, and Yang Di had plenty of shooting space.

He took off brazenly, like an unleashed beast, with a great and fearless sense of mission and responsibility.

Garnett was taken aback, and stepped forward to interfere.

On the sidelines, Montgomery, on the court, Richardson, all opened their mouths. This is not a tactical arrangement. One step inside the three-point line, a shot close to the three-point line, is Yang Di crazy?

The next second, the net flower rolled up with a hollow sound of "swish", covering up all the confusion and anger.

The audience raised their hands and cheered, and the Warriors evened the score at a critical moment!

……

The game was not over yet, and the Timberwolves, who were hit, called the last timeout.

Perhaps the most indifferent in the audience were the three referees. In the NBA, the birthplace of miracles, they have seen too many miracles.

After the "beep~" whistle, the two sides returning to the field re-match, and there are 33.8 seconds left.The two sides tied at 106.

For the Timberwolves, no matter whether the attack is successful or not, the Warriors have plenty of time to arrange and carry out the last attack.

Sanders let Cassel press the rhythm, and the game time passed by every minute.

In 20 seconds, the Timberwolves started to run. Garnett mentioned the top position of the arc to do a pick-and-roll for Cassel, and Fisher was very experienced in defending around the back.

Sure enough, Cassell didn't dare to shoot at the critical moment, because since the beginning of this season, his three-point shooting percentage is only 25%.

Cassell returned the ball to Garnett, making a useless offensive tactic.

Garnett faced Yang Di again, taking a big stride across the frame and dribbling through Yang Di's right side. The first step was not very fast.

Yang Di's eyes flashed, and he lowered his center of gravity.

Sure enough, Garnett just made a fake move. After taking two steps, he turned his back and walked to the left, then leaned on Yang Di's body, took a small jump to remove the space and stabilize his figure, and made a straight-arm jumper from the baseline.

Yang Di was waiting for this moment, his eyes burst, his veins popped out, he roared, and jumped up on the floor.

The two were very close, and Garnett felt that Yang Di was rising very fast. He felt a crisis in his heart, subconsciously reduced the time of the second shot, and threw the ball.

Yang Di stretched his hand straight, his body was like a javelin, the basketball flew over and touched half of his fingertips.

"Covered!"

Sanders' eyeballs almost fell off, and Yang Di landed again and grabbed the rebound that changed direction straight up and down.

Surprised and delighted, Montgomery resisted the urge to call a timeout, and gestured to the Warriors players on the court to let them solve the last attack by themselves.

His idea is very simple. Calling a timeout is not good for the Warriors, because the Timberwolves can also arrange tactics at the same time, and the Timberwolves' tactical execution is obviously stronger than the Warriors.

Garnett was unconvinced and wanted to break Yang Di's ball, but Yang Di had no luck and pushed directly to Fisher.

In the front court, there are 10 seconds left in the game.

Fisher is also a player with a big heart, and Cassel defends every step of the way.

Richardson wants to catch the ball, but Sprewell is entangled and doesn't let go. Yang Di runs over to cover for him without the ball. Garnett dare not let Richardson directly make a three-pointer. After all, this season Richardson Sen has a history of "doing evil" on the Spurs.

"Switched defense?" Yang Di was overjoyed, turned around and ran in, and Sprewell was guarding him next to him.

"To Yang Di!" Montgomery shouted from the sidelines, with less than 6 seconds remaining.

Maybe he heard Montgomery's instructions, or maybe he judged the situation. Fisher dribbled the ball and hit the ground. After the basketball bounced, it was given to Yang Di who made an air cut.

Yang Di headed in against Sprewell, and Garnett thumped in his heart when he saw it, and let Richardson go in to help defend.

The scene was a mess, and the person who should defend Murphy was nowhere to be seen. Yang Di had no time to weigh the pros and cons, so he could only choose to trust his teammates, bypassing Sprewell with his long arm, and crossing Murphy.

The scene changed too quickly, and the basketball was handed over to Murphy after the last attack was conducted twice!At this time, there are 2.4 seconds remaining in the time.

Murphy didn't expect this kind of thing at all. The man who defended him switched to Fisher, and the man who defended Fisher switched to Richardson. He raised his hand reflexively to shoot.

The arc of the shot is high, as he has done in thousands of practices.

However, the angle was deflected unsatisfactorily. With a "clang", the basketball hit the rim and then bounced on the backboard, bouncing high, completely missing the possibility of finally falling into the cylinder.

Murphy's face turned paler with a "swish", and he even forgot that he should go in and continue to grab rebounds at this time.

In the crowd, a savage-looking man with an inch head jumped up. He summoned up his majesty, like a wild beast, tearing and tugging at his defenders, and bounced off all the restraints and shackles on his body.

So tall, so fierce posture.

The desperation lasted less than half a second. The next moment, the big black hand contrasted with the bright orange basketball and firmly grasped it.

Yang Di yelled, and controlled his body to stagnate slightly in the air. There were no arms around him that were raised higher than him.

The arm made of steel bends slightly, and the wrist is graceful like the neck of a swan, softly as if holding a feather, gently and unbelievably twirling.

The basketball leaves the hand, spins slowly, and draws a flowing trajectory in the air.

The timers above complement each other, and the red time is constantly decreasing.

The moment the basketball falls into the rim, the red light comes on.

In the next second, all the fans in the Oakland Arena raised their hands, and the silence turned into cheers piercing gold and cracking stones.

Yang Di fell down in the crowd, he got up excitedly, raised his right arm and cheered.

Montgomery, his assistants, and the Warriors' bench players all rushed into the field. Yang Di was running, surrounded by teammates and cameras, countless flowers and praise...
