NBA villain

Chapter 424 Top Matchup

From the audience's point of view, Yang Di's breakthrough was not a coincidence. After a tentative step, he made a strong breakthrough on the right side and passed Elton Brand's defense all at once.

God, Elton Brand is good at defense!

The audience stood up, clapped each other's hands in celebration, and all opened their mouths in surprise, howling heart-piercingly.

It's just an ordinary dunk, but it seems to have won the world. In the playoffs, any goal is worth cheering with all their strength.

The noisy cheers, in Elton Brand's ears, felt like a deep mockery of him.

After halftime, Brand took the initiative to ask for the ball. Cassell held the ball from outside the three-point line and was about to make a commanding action. Seeing that Brand, who is the boss and leader of the team, asked for the ball, he had to hang the ball first. went in.

This is the culture of the NBA, and no one will stop Brand's desire to challenge Yang Di one-on-one at this time.

But at the same time, the fans booed even more. The fans of the Golden State Warriors wanted to see the embarrassment of Brand's offensive failure.

Brand turned around after taking the ball, exactly the same as Yang Di's three-threat posture just now.

Then he tried with his right foot, and put the ball between his left waist with both hands. Yang Di was very close to him, less than a body distance away, and raised one hand high to cover his face.

Suddenly, Elton Brand jumped straight up, raised his long arms in the air, and shot directly from the middle distance of the elbow area!
"Shoot directly?"

Yang Di observed whether Brand's jump shot was true or false, and then he took off on the spot without any haste, with his straight arms raised high to interfere.

Because the two were still separated by a certain distance, Yang Di couldn't cover Brand with super long arms, just a few centimeters away.

But Brand felt that Yang Di's big hand was terrifying, as if he could block the shot in his hand, and the defensive pressure was very strong.

He was a little flustered, but his good muscle response allowed him to shoot steadily. When his fingers were pulled out, the basketball spun violently.

After crossing a reasonable parabola, he plunged into the net.

"Shh!"

Hollow into the net, the scene sounded a sigh.

Yang Di narrowed his eyes slightly. Elton Brand's mid-range jumper is indeed a big threat. This season, at the power forward position, no one in this position has a better shot than him.

The matchup between the two is very exciting, but the court is not just a one-on-one match to determine the winner.

The Warriors entered the normal half-court tactical offense. Yang Di made an off-ball screen for Danny Granger on the flank. Danny Granger attracted Quinton Rose to the bottom corner. Yang Di moved to around 45 degrees to serve Byron -Davis runs the pick-and-roll.

Baron Davis attacked with the ball and followed Yang Di's pick-and-roll to the right. At this time, in the strong side area on the right, Dunleavy raised his hands flat and was in an open position.

After Davis came around, Elton almost went out of the three-point line to delay the Clippers in order to defend him.

Yang Di interspersed in, and the Clippers naturally lowered their defense on the outside in order to help defend the inside.

Dunleavy catches the jumper, and his father is right behind him, watching him like that.

"clang!"

The ball misses and the basketball bounces.

Because Brand and Yang Di went out together, the two of them rushed to grab the rebound at the same time. Kaman got stuck at the basket and took Chandler and got a better position.

The bouncing basketball is high, facing outwards.

Yang Di was overjoyed, burst out with divine power, knocked Brand away, jumped up in the air with stronger confrontation and physical stability, clasped his hands together, and firmly grasped the rebound.

The Clippers are all shrunk in. Yang Di has Kaman, Brand, and Rose in front of him. No matter how strong he is, he can't beat five of them.

So, he threw the ball out smartly, and Danny Granger, who was one step outside the three-point line, caught the ball.

Baron Davis, who had retreated to the center circle, came back again, then received the ball at the top of the arc, stabilized the rhythm, and signaled to organize an attack again.

Brand's face was livid, and Yang Di grabbed an offensive rebound in front of him, and it seemed that his rebounding skills and ability were far better than his.

The two are the top four positions in the NBA today, and Yang Di can also play the fifth and third positions at the same time.

There is almost no difference in offense between the two, and the defensive end is also a master of defense. Yang Di is obviously better than Brand in his sense of offensive rebounds and rushing.

Davis took his time and dribbled the ball out to distance himself from Cassell.

Chandler raised the pick-and-roll, Yang Di made an off-ball screen for the two swingmen on the wing, Davis kept his feet on the ground, and dribbled to the left to break through.

Yang Di went down and in, still attracting enough attention from the Clippers.

But this time the Clippers did not open the outside line. After Yang Di went deep inside, in a deep position, Davis hit the ground and passed.

"boom!"

Yang Di charged sideways, and Elton Brand is also a very strong player. This time, he blocked Yang Di's front with both arms, just resisting Yang Di's impact head-on.

Yang Di half-turned and hooked, Elton jumped up after staggering his steps, and almost missed Yang Di's hook.

The ball was missed, Brand and Kaman grabbed the rebound at the same time, the basketball bounced off the ground again and Brand snatched it.

Then, during the Clippers' offense, Cassel missed a jumper. Yang Di lightly tapped the rebound and allocated it to Chandler on the other side of the basket.

The offenses of both sides failed, and the players' state after the opening slowly adjusted.

But Danny Granger was still very nervous. He participated in the playoffs for the first time in his career, and he only played in the league for one year.

Immediately, Granger made a defensive error and missed Mobley, who he was supposed to be defending. Mobley cut to the basket, and Cassell passed the ball to the old fritters, who switched hands for a layup. Dodged Yang Di's block and scored the ball.

"Focus, stay focused!" Yang Di said to Granger.

"Be careful of their counterruns and air cuts, and keep an eye on your defender." Davis also said to Granger.

Granger nodded, his face was not very good-looking, and he was a little annoyed at the defensive mistake just now.

After a few rounds, Elton Brand's turn-around layup was correctly predicted by Yang Di, and he swung a big hat beyond the baseline, knocking over two photographers.

Subsequently, the Warriors made a three-pointer in the offense. The Warriors led the Clippers by 11 points 5 to 6. The Clippers requested a long timeout.

This is the first timeout in the first quarter. Judging from the performance before the timeout, the Warriors are obviously stronger in state and strength.

Back from the timeout, the Clippers performed a lineup rotation, with Corey Maggette replacing Quinton Rose at the small forward position.

Maggette made an impact when he came on the court, dribbled a little space in the crotch, and then hit a jumper.

The playoffs entered a white-hot stage.
