Chapter 348 The Hornet
Oakland Arena, the scene of the Warriors game.

After the rise of the Warriors last year, some merchants wanted to name the arena. At that time, the Warriors had almost negotiated with some merchants, but now, the Warriors are not in a hurry, and are planning to invite sponsorship on a large scale after this season.

Therefore, the name of the arena is still the Oakland Arena. Fans go to the ignition and enter the familiar venues one by one.

On the yellow floor, there are Warriors players in white uniforms.

Yang Di stepped on the three-point line to catch the trainer's pass and jumper. Before the game, he used this method to warm up.

He is now more and more fond of using jump shots to solve battles. Compared with the strong attack at the basket, the jump shot is obviously easier, and after throwing away the opponent with his footsteps, the hit rate of the jump shot is actually not low at all.

Today is a game against the Hornets, Davis' former club.

This is the second season of Byron Scott coaching the Hornets. The Hornets have made some lineup adjustments. Rookie Chris Paul entered the starting lineup and became the new brain of the team.

In addition, JR-Smith, who performed well in the second half of last season, continued his starting trend and became the Hornets' shooting guard.

So before the start of the game, the Hornets ranked PG Chris Paul, SG was JR-Smith, SF Persia Jan-Nahba, PF David West, and C was PJ-Brown.

On the bench, there are players with strength or potential, such as Russell Butler, Desmond Mason, Brandon Bass, Chris Anderson, Bynum, etc.

The Hornets are not weak, but in terms of book lineup, they have completed the transformation and upgrading after Davis left.

Yang Di's good friend Rasoul Butler came to the Hornets. In this summer, the Heat reluctantly sent away this rising career player in order to get Anthony Walker and "White Chocolate" Jason Williams. Excellent player.

"You're still amazing, you'll become an All-Star in no time."

Before the game, the two hugged each other.

Yang Di smiled and said: "The Hornets are also good. You have Chris Paul. He is a very good rookie. James said that he will be at least an All-Star player in the future."

"I hope I can catch up with you." Rasoul nodded and responded with a smile.

Yang Di turned around, and then hugged Paul with high fives and shoulders.

Chris Paul always showed his sharpness, facing Yang Di, without any fear: "I have booked the victory of this game first, and I will break through your defense."

"Oh? Then I have to look forward to it!" Yang Di was slightly excited after hearing this, and did not refute Paul's words. He was looking forward to meeting some opponents with particularly fighting spirit, which would also arouse his fighting spirit.

The game starts with a jump ball for both sides.

Chandler beat Brown with an easy jump and Davis advanced with the ball.

Since Chandler came to the Warriors, the job of jumping the ball has been handed over to Chandler, and with his excellent jumping, height and wingspan, few people can beat him in this regard.

The game officially begins.

"Pick-and-roll No. 4 tactics!" Davis commanded, drawing four fingers.

Yang Dila drove to the left wing, with his hands down to cover for Dunleavy without the ball, and Dunleavy turned around and shook off Persijan Nakhba.

Persijan Nakhba was the rookie selected by the Rockets with the No.02 overall pick in 15. In the middle of last season, he was traded to the Hornets by the Rockets.His height of 2 meters is comparable to that of Dunleavy, and his figure is also similar to that of Dunleavy, and both of them are outside shooters with a shooting percentage close to 06%.The only difference is that Dunleavy made more outside shots and was more decisive. He even made some strong shots, which Bossian didn't dare to make.

Dunleavy received the ball empty-handed, dribbled towards the center line, and then saw that PJ-Brown didn't make a save to defend, so he shot directly.

Mid-range emergency stop jumper, hit!
Yang Di has already dismantled and passed down. This ball is also a good opportunity for Yang Di. Yang Di has the ability to directly hit the basket.

Hornets attack.

The 1-meter Chris Paul is the star player of Wake Forest University. In the March Madness game, Chris Paul scored a total of 83 points in the games against Virginia and Manhattan. Although he lost to Jamal- St. Joy University led by Nelson, but Paul's strength has been recognized.

After entering the NBA for a month, Paul quickly adapted to the rhythm of the game. Here, he encountered more pick-and-roll offenses. It was easier than in college. He has more offensive options, and how to mobilize his teammates to attack has become One of the first skills he has to learn.

Outside the three-point line, Paul called PJ-Brown to come out for a pick-and-roll.

PJ-Brown is 36 years old this year. When he played the playoffs with the Heat in the past two years, he was still at the peak of his career. This season, he has obviously slowed down a lot.

But the body is still very strong. After the pick-and-roll with Paul, he turned around and got the slightly thinner Chandler, and went in to a deep position.

Paul didn't give the ball, and he did a behind-the-back dribble to avoid Derek Fisher's draw.

Chris Paul changed direction ahead of time, on one side of his body, stepped out with his right foot to the left, and threw off Fisher by a position, and his movement was steady and fast.

"So fast!"

Fisher was shocked. This rookie was fast and had a low center of gravity. He was about the same height as him, but he couldn't touch the ball at all.

The basketball seemed to be stuck in Paul's hands. Paul controlled the ball with his left hand and made a breakthrough. Yang Di rushed out immediately.

As soon as he moved out of the penalty area, Paul passed the ball, hit the ground with both hands, and distributed the ball to David West who moved up.

David West catches the ball and shoots a straight-arm jumper with a slight fadeaway.

"Shua!" is also precisely in the frame.

Yang Di was also very surprised. Paul played the ball very quickly, without being sloppy at all. The key point was that the pass to David West at the free throw line obviously had a hint of advance. Have realized the true meaning of such a pass?

Baron Davis and others are interested in it. It seems that this rookie is interesting?
After halftime, Yang Di took the initiative to ask for the ball. In the elbow area, Yang Di received the ball and put on a three-threat posture. David West was defending him.

West survived for two years. During the summer offseason, he finally defeated all his opponents, conquered coach Scott, and became the Hornets' starting power forward. In the previous game, he was fed by Paul. He performed very well. .

Defensively also conscientious, very focused.

It's just that Yang Di's offensive method is like an outside player, raising three threats and testing the ground, which makes him feel like retreating.

Nowadays, everyone's thoughts are still stuck on the pictures of Yang Di's various inside attacks and dunks. In comparison, Yang Di's mid-range shooting ability has not been paid enough attention.
