NBA villain

Chapter 273 Compatibility, Victory over the Eagles
Baron Davis jumped up and bent the ball around his back, and passed it to Yang Di who followed up without looking at anyone.

Yang Di caught the ball and stepped on the line of the three-second zone, soaring into the air. Tyronn Lu, who was a few sizes smaller, watched Yang Di take off awkwardly, without any way to defend.

With a "bang", when Josh Smith turned his head, he saw two feet almost swinging to his face.

Josh Smith got out of the way in disgust, and Yang Di swung back to the original point and landed safely to avoid a technical foul.

6 to 0, Baron Davis assisted Yang Di twice. It seems that there has been a certain degree of fit between the two at the beginning, and the cooperation is very organized.

After another round, the Eagles still didn't score.

During the Warriors' offensive, Baron Davis broke through and passed the ball to Dunleavy. Dunleavy moved up the line and passed it to Richardson. Richardson broke through and went in.

Yang Di played Josh Smith behind Richardson. Richardson and Childress fought in the air, and the small tie rod made a layup.

8 to 0, the Eagles requested a timeout.

After the timeout, the Eagles rushed inside. Yang Di jumped up to block Childress' throw, but failed to block it, but Childress also raised the arc and shot hard.

Yang Di turned around and grabbed the rebound, and Josh Smith came close and reached out to steal the ball.

Yang Di held the basketball with one hand and avoided Josh Smith's big hand, holding the ball in a very chic posture.

The Warriors also missed the offense.

The Eagles were attacking in a pick-and-roll. During this period, Antoine Walker, whose condition had declined significantly, stood up, took the ball from Tyronn Lue, turned around and wiped out Dunleavy's defense.

One small step from the paint, Walker steps back for a jumper, like Paul Pierce.

"Shh!"

Hollow hit, such a half-block ball, it is difficult for Yang Di to make up for it.

In this era, anyone who can shoot half-blocks with one hand can become an excellent scorer, just like Antoine Walker, even if his state has declined like that, but he can make mid-range shots and still average nearly 20 points per game , but only 40% of the shots are a bit embarrassing.

Therefore, scorers who are good at mid-range, once their shooting percentage exceeds 45%, can basically be said to be very efficient. Just like Kobe Bryant, with his increasingly skilled fadeaway jumper skills, he is gradually becoming The new generation of mid-range shooting kings in the league is becoming more and more difficult to guard.

After the Eagles broke the scoring drought, the cheers of the fans in the Bay Area paused slightly, and they sat down one after another, marking that the game officially entered the regular stage.

The Warriors attacked in a position, Yang Di picked and rolled for Davis, Davis distributed to Richardson on the wing, Richardson missed a three-point jumper.

The Eagles attacked, and Harrington forced Murphy, causing Murphy's thugs to foul and made two free throws.

The Warriors attacked, and Yang Di made an off-ball running screen for Richardson in the elbow area. Richardson went up to catch the ball and passed it down to Yang Di. Yang Di resisted Josh Smith with his back. Forced a half throw, missed, and the rebound was protected by Antoine Walker.

Antoine Walker missed the middle distance, and Yang Di grabbed the backcourt rebound.

In the frontcourt, Richardson crossed past Childress' defense, made a mid-range half-block shot, made a hit, and scored his first sports game score of the game.

The Warriors' offense is very smooth, and when they have no tactics, they rely on Richardson's heads-up.

Now, in addition to Richardson, Baron Davis can also use one-on-one bullfighting to solve the game. The offensive ability has improved several levels. catch up.

Fortunately, Harrington scored two key three-pointers afterwards, and the Hawks were only 19 points behind 28 to 9 in the first quarter, which was originally at least a double-digit point difference.

Such a game hurt the two rookies Josh Smith and Childress.

They were all influential figures in high school or college. At that time, in school, they all abused others. Few of them could compete with them. They had already established a strong self-confidence.But when they arrived in the NBA, they encountered a group of older youths with the physical fitness of animals. Their consecutive defeats and poor offensive and defensive duels impacted their self-confidence time and time again.

The so-called NBA rookie wall, the most critical thing is the psychological factor. If you can't change your role well and re-examine yourself, you will eventually be eliminated by more intense competition, or you will be eliminated by everyone just relying on your talent.

Yang Di rested and scored 4 points and 3 rebounds on 6 of 4 shots in the first quarter. Baron Davis came over and had no effect on him. On the contrary, because of Davis' master control, he got a lot in the paint. Better opportunities to play easier.

In addition, Josh Smith, who defended him today, lacks strength and lack of confrontation. He hasn't exerted much force yet, and he is not particularly active in fighting for offensive rebounds.

Adonal Foyer was replaced by Yang Di, and Rodney White was replaced at power forward.

The Latvian media was very disappointed. The camera interestingly turned the camera on the face of 18-year-old Andres Biedrins. The young man's eyes were calm and steady without any expression.

After the Warriors lost Pietrus, the bench is actually a bit weak. Fortunately, the main position is now filled. Montgomery began to let Richardson, Baron Davis and others take turns to control the ball. For example, in the second quarter, Byron-Davis Davis went off to rest first, and Richardson continued to stay on the court to lead the second team.

Richardson strengthened the offense with the ball, and together with John Salmons and Derek Fisher, became the Warriors' three outsiders on the bench. The 1-meter Salmons returned to the shooting guard position, and Richardson He served as a small forward and officially became a standard swingman.

Salmons has a panacea scoring ability, and after being misplaced, he faced the Eagles' backup power forward Boris Diaw.

Dior is slender and moves quite fast, but after all, he is a 2-meter inside player. In front of Salmons' small steps and constant adjustments, he lost his size. Stop the jump shot and hit it easily.

The Frenchman Diaw was the 21st pick of the Eagles in the first round last year. This is his second season and he only played as a substitute player. Because of his poor rebounding ability and ability to protect the frame, his playing time was further reduced by Woodson. , This season, he averaged only 18 minutes per game, scoring 4.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.3 blocks.

But Dior also has his strengths. After halftime, Dior handed over to the Hawks backup point guard Tony Delk to play a pick-and-roll. Dior went down to catch the ball. Passed to Royal Ivey in the bottom corner.

This is also a rookie this year. He was selected by the Eagles with the eighth pick in the second round, but he failed to make an open shot.

It can be seen that the Eagles' lineup is younger than the Warriors. Many players are recruits who have only played for one or two years, or they are simply rookies this year.

In the process of competition between the two sides, the gap gradually appeared.

After Yang Di played, the Warriors had opened the point difference to 15 points.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors led the Hawks by 61 points 43 to 18.

In the third quarter, Yang Di played for 7 minutes and took a break. Montgomery waved his hand and replaced the Latvian youth Biedrins.

"It's finally here!" The drowsy Latvian media cheered up. Biedrins was allowed to play in this time period. Montgomery obviously wanted him to finish the third quarter, so there would be at least 5 minutes. !

It seems that Montgomery is not talking nonsense. In the next half of the season, Biedrins really needs to be given more opportunities.

Biedrins hadn't played in many games, and he was very excited to play again this time. At this time, the Warriors led by nearly 20 points, and the Eagles didn't have any outstanding insiders. He was actually the tallest one on the field.

Biedrins can run and jump. Except for confrontation, the rest are excellent. The terrible thing is that the most confrontation in the NBA is.

Over the past few months, the trainer has focused on increasing his weight, effectively training his muscles, and increasing his resistance.

However, the eagle's substitute insider is Rodbiak of 122 kilograms from Montenegro, who weighs far more than Biedrins. Biedrins is at a disadvantage.

"It's still a little bit worse." Montgomery shook his head, and made up his mind not to use Biedrins in the playoffs. Such a body will be destroyed by those old bones in the playoffs.

In the end, the Warriors beat the Eagles 112 to 89. Yang Di only played 25 minutes, scored 9 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocked shots. The rare scoring and rebounding did not even hit double figures. Biedrins played 17 minutes, which was the first time in his career. A new high, 6 points and 4 rebounds and a block to Diaw of the Eagles, his performance was remarkable, which made the Latvian media excited.
