NBA villain

Chapter 225 Let go of the cast
Although Yang Di was extremely lethal and grabbed a lot of rebounds, the Mavericks gradually caught up with the score.

Finley hit a three-pointer from the outside, and after breaking through, he avoided Yang Di's blocked shot and scored five points in a row to allow the Mavericks to close the score. On the Warriors side, Murphy's shot missed and Fisher's pass The ball went wrong and morale dropped slightly.

Harris finally knew what Yang Di had experienced in the past two years. The terrifying awareness of defense and the terrifying bounce formed a big hand to protect the frame. It is not too much to be called the top ten in the NBA.

"It turns out that he has reached this level before he knew it!" Harris felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. As a substitute for the Mavericks, his performance time of less than 15 minutes in a game is really not enough. Can you catch him?The distance between the two is getting farther and farther.

The Warriors called a timeout to no avail.

After Nowitzki came back, he fired directly from the outside and scored the ninth point in the first quarter. The Mavericks chased the point difference to only two points.

Avery Johnson was a little proud. He felt that the substitution he proposed had an effect. Harris could easily pass Fisher's defense and tear apart the Warriors' defense.And because of Harris' appearance, Yang Di was forced to go out to help defend, and his ability to control the rebounds in the penalty area and other Mavericks players declined. Nowitzki can calmly withdraw from the outside and hit some long-range shots.

The audience cheered, with enthusiasm as the Mavericks continued to chase points.

Yang Di didn't think it was Fisher's problem. Although Harris was able to dribble past others, he also used the pick-and-roll to get past Fisher. It was just the first time he overtook forcibly. He thought it was a problem of changing defenses after the pick-and-roll. Being able to delay Harris in time gave the Mavericks enough space to shoot and conduct.

"Press it tighter!" Yang Di shouted loudly, hoping to increase the aggressiveness of everyone.

He himself was close to Bradley, while staring at Murphy who was defending Nowitzki, ready to help defend and make up.

The last attack of the first quarter, the Mavericks handed over to Finley.

Richardson reached out to touch Finley, Finley bent over and broke through, and Nowitzki high pick-and-roll, Murphy did not delay Finley, because Richardson used a close-to-wipe method, and Finley did not Keep an absolute distance.

Finley took two steps, then suddenly stopped, and put his hands together.

Richardson jumped up subconsciously, and found in the air that Finley did not shoot, but made a bow fake. After shaking Richardson, he easily moved sideways.

Then he shot with his back halfway back and hit the ball with a rebound.

The Mavericks overtook the Warriors by 26 point 25 to 1, scored more than ten points frantically in 4 minutes, and the offensive firepower was very fierce.

Yang Di walked off the field sullenly, and after Harris came on, the Mavericks went wild with their medium and long-range shots and mid-range shots, and there was no other way.

He himself scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in the first quarter, which is remarkable in the words of the newspaper.

After the first quarter, Nowitzki and others went to rest, and the Warriors also replaced Salmons, Pietrus and other gangsters on the bench.

Harris showed his speed. Not only did he get a one-stop layup, but he also made a thug foul by Pietrus in an attack, and his personal score increased steadily.

After that, Salmons scored the third three-pointer for the Warriors, and the Warriors stabilized their position.

The strength of the two teams' benches is about the same, but the Mavericks have the advantage of sitting at home and have been leading by 3 to 5 points.

The two sides played offensive tactics, and the offensive rhythm was very fast.

When Yang Di came on the court, the Warriors were 44 points behind 46 to 2. At this time, there were still 5 minutes and 11 seconds left in the second quarter, and the Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki and other main players had also returned to the court.

"Switch defense!" Yang Di gestured to exchange positions with Murphy.

This is also what the head coach Montgomery just explained on the bench. Murphy's defensive effect is not good, which allows Yang Dilai, who is more mobile and more resistant, to match up with Nowitzki.

What Montgomery is worried about is that Yang Di will be fouled by Nowitzki, which will affect the next playing time.

Sure enough, less than 2 minutes after the two switched defenses, Nowitzki shook Yang Di from a low position, leaning on Yang Di to create a shooting foul, which made Yang Di get the second foul of the game.

Montgomery was so scared that he stood up immediately. Although Murphy's defensive effect was not good, at least this guy didn't foul. If Yang Di continued to commit fouls, the strength of the Warriors would obviously drop a lot.

He immediately changed Yang Di and Murphy back, and this episode was noticed by both Nelson and Avery Johnson.

Old Nelson smiled silently, while Johnson couldn't help laughing loudly, "Coach, that academic old man opposite is so funny, as expected, people who haven't really experienced NBA games don't understand NBA. When faced with a challenge, the more players should be allowed to rise to the challenge."

At halftime, the Mavericks led the Warriors by 59 points 51 to 8.

It seems that the morale of the Mavericks is booming, and Nowitzki's 17 points in the half also showed enough presence on the court.This made the fans who supported the Warriors sweat, feeling that the Mavericks are worthy of being a strong team in the West. Even if they lose a starter like Dampier, they can still surpass the Warriors.

"Let go of the cast!"

Yang Di felt that he couldn't be led by the Warriors. Before the start of the second half, he secretly pulled Richardson and Dunleavy, "Anyway, they can't grab my rebounds, so you can shoot boldly. If you can't make a shot, I will throw the ball back. Dial outside!"

"That's a good idea!" Richardson thought deeply, his eyes lit up, "The average rebounding averages of Dirk Nowitzki and Sean Bradley of the Mavericks combined are worse than yours. Boss, these two people can't grab rebounds at all, I think it's doable!"

Dunleavy shrugged his shoulders. Since the team boss said it was feasible, he had nothing to say.

Montgomery didn't know that the three people before the game had reached such a consensus. He only saw that at the beginning of the second half, Richardson and Dunleavy were particularly resolute in their shots.

The resolute shots resulted in a good hit rate, and the two fired frequently from the outside, which immediately helped the Warriors approach the score.

The Mavericks used a timeout to suppress the touch between the two. Nelson Sr. criticized Josh Howard, a sophomore. Howard's defense during this period did not have any effect at all.

Back from the timeout, the Mavericks expanded their defense, and Dunleavy retreated and missed a long shot.

But Yang Di struggled to shoot the ball to the outside line and gave it to Fisher to reorganize.

Fisher waved his hand, indicating that he was not in a hurry.

Then after a pick-and-roll, it was assigned to the air-cut Richardson. Richardson dribbled in and broke through, evading Finley's defense in a virtual way, and hit a jumper on the board.

At 7 minutes and 49 seconds, the Warriors tied the score 69-69.
