NBA villain

Chapter 406 Complex Emotions
The Warriors were in full swing, and they won the Magic, Lakers, and Timberwolves respectively, achieving a wave of 7 consecutive victories.

On March 3, the Warriors went to Charlotte to challenge the Bobcats. As a result, they thought they would easily win 8 consecutive victories, but they overturned the Bobcats.

Bobcats' unknown small forward Jumaine Jones scored a game-high 29 points, including 10 of 5 outside three-pointers, while the Warriors made 16 of 5 outside shots, a total of three-pointers made , as many three-pointers as he made alone.

In addition, Gerald Wallace, Levin Knight, Raymond Felton and other players all performed well.

The Bobcats had 6 players in double figures and beat the Warriors 104 to 101. Yang Di grabbed a game-high 19 rebounds, and Baron Davis scored a Warriors-high 22 points.

Yang Di also felt that something was wrong. The Bobcats were able to make a fairy ball every time when the Warriors were about to catch up.

In the last few minutes, the Warriors had a chance to tie the game. As a result, he missed a mid-range shot and Baron Davis missed a layup, ruining the chance to win back the situation in vain.

The 7-game winning streak was terminated, while the Mavericks and Suns in the West began to win consecutively. In order to qualify for the playoffs, these two teams gradually showed amazing strength, not weaker than the Warriors at all.

The competition for qualifying in the West is particularly fierce.

At this time, the Warriors flew to Miami, and Yang Di returned to Miami to challenge the Heat.

After the Heat switched back to Pat Riley, their record improved, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, leading the Eastern Cavaliers by 3 to 5 wins.

The team has no injuries, and after getting James Posey, the lineup is very complete.

But because of Yang Di's return, everything tasted different.

In Miami, Yang Di is a name that is often mentioned, but has complex emotions.

Yang Di was selected by the Heat in the second round. As soon as he was selected, it caused controversy in the media, and he was not even optimistic about Yang Di's contract extension with the Heat.As a result, at that time, Pat Riley resisted all opinions and signed a two-year contract with Yang Di. At that time, it seemed that the Heat had too much money and no place to spend it.

The harsh media felt that Yang Di had low potential, poor ability, and bad temper, and there were constant rumors outside the court.

But in general, Miami fans are still neutral about Yang Di.

But during that in-team training, Yang Di took a shot and "killed" the team's star insider Grant, a rookie who had just arrived in the league, and he was crazy.

The media wantonly publicized and maliciously slandered Yang Di as a villain worse than Lambiel, a cancer of the team, and an unstable bomb in the locker room.

Fans began to hate Yang Di, and Yang Di's silence and lack of excuses were regarded as an extremely bad attitude.

"I never want to see him play in Miami again, he's a jerk."

The fans accused Yang Di, booed Yang Di wildly on the court, and even wrote the sign of "Get Out of Miami" excessively. Only a small group of Miami Chinese supported Yang Di.

Yang Di and the fans fought against each other for a whole season, even if Yang Di had a flash performance occasionally, the fans would not buy it, they stubbornly hoped to drive Yang Di away, and even wrote letters to the team and Pat Riley.

Pat Riley vowed to guarantee that Yang Di will be an important part of the Heat's revival.

Later in the playoffs, Yang Di was injured, and his commercial value and potential were hit again. Many people no longer use the upper limit of senior blue-collars to frame Yang Di, and even think that he will never return to his previous state, nor can he guarantee the vitality of the court. The advantages of strength and bounce will all be wiped out.

Pat Riley showed his golden operator ability. After the trading market opened, he quickly traded Yang Di to the Lakers in O'Neal's transaction.

O'Neal traveled east, and the whole of Miami was boiling, and the crowds were empty to welcome the arrival of the Sharks at their peak.

The Heat jumped into the ranks of the championship team, and all team building ideas can be copied according to the original team during the "OK" combination period.

And Yang Di is just an insignificant little player, and Chinese fans just pay a little attention.

After all, the NBA is still a multi-level development league. There are countless foreign players here, including Russia, Argentina, Spain, and New Zealand. Yang Di is just one of many foreign players, but the name is a little strange Just a few.

Before he had time to reflect on the deal, Yang Di was traded to the Warriors by the Lakers like an abandoned cargo, plus part of the transaction cash and a first-round pick, in exchange for the young Defensive open, Speedy.

Now, Yang Di has been an All-Star player in the Western Conference for two consecutive years, the Warriors have risen to become a powerful player in the Western Conference, and their net worth has soared to more than tens of millions.

The two teams, the Heat and the Lakers, don't say anything, but their intestines are green with regret.

Grant, who had a dispute with Yang Di, immediately fell to the bottom after leaving the Heat. He couldn't play for the Lakers, and wandered to the Suns to become a supplement outside the rotation.

Speedy Claxton still had 12.3 points and 4.8 assists, but was squeezed out of the starting lineup by Death Parker. In the middle of the season, he was traded to the Hornets by the Lakers in exchange for being unable to play in the Hornets. Ball, Bynum averaged only 1.7 points and 1.5 rebounds per game.

Bynum made the Hornets unable to see their potential at all. Although this young man who looked like a good baby trained hard, he moved too slowly and had no flexibility when he was light in weight. Even if he gained weight in the future, the Hornets The team thinks it is at most one Eddie Curry, but this year Eddie Curry led the Knicks to the bottom of the league.

The Hornets believe that what Chris Paul needs now is a player who can pick and roll, go down, and stretch the mid-range shot, not a big man who needs to attack slowly in the low post.

In contrast, the Heat got O'Neal anyway, and the Lakers were at a loss. Otherwise, the reconstruction of the Kobe era has been completed, so why bother to find a big man all over the world?
Now, there are still some people in Miami who hate Yang Di, but most of the black-turned-passers-by don’t have much reaction to Yang Di except for complicated emotions.

When Yang Di returned to the American Airlines Arena that day, the applause he received actually overshadowed the boos.

"It's a strange thing." Yang Di was amazed, but for the Heat, he still thought of more than 1 ways to defeat them.

The old general always has a special feeling for the old master.

Before the start of the game, the Heat lined up: PG Jason Williams, SG Dwyane Wade, SF James Posey, PF Haslem, C O'Neal.

The Warriors completely put Danny Granger into the starting lineup, PG Baron Davis, SG Danny Granger, SF Mike Dunleavy, PF Yang Di, and C Tyson Chandler.

"Aren't you going to defend me? Just let this skinny bone?" O'Neill and Yang Di clapped their hands and hugged each other, and said with a grim expression.

Yang Di shrugged his shoulders and did not show any weakness: "Tyson's defense is great, and I also have help defense. If you are careless, I don't mind giving you two more hot pots."
