Chapter 439 Passing the First Round

Yang Di showed the deterrent power of the "big gate" penalty area. In the game against the Clippers, except for the third game, he sent a lot of blocks.

In the previous four games, Yang Di averaged 29 points, 15 rebounds and 4.75 blocks per game. Among the players participating in the playoffs, although not the highest in scoring, he ranked first in the league in rebounds and blocks.

The experts' limelight has changed again, and they all believe that the Warriors can solve the battle at home and beat the Clippers to advance to the second round.

And this is only Yang Di's third season, but Yang Di has already learned how to win. Many stars in the league have been confused in the first few years of their careers. Always lose to others in general.

In the face of money and victory, Yang Di seems to have made a balanced choice, not to mention that his salary is not high. After this season, Yang Di only has two years left on his contract. When his contract ends, he is only 24 years old. , The Warriors will definitely try to renew the contract with the maximum salary.

On May 5, at the Oakland Arena, the Warriors and the Clippers fought in G1.

Chinese fans pay the most attention to the Warriors. When the Rockets failed to enter the playoffs, Yang Di has become the focus of all Chinese fans, whether they like Yang Di or not.

There are more than a dozen Chinese media that came to Oakland on this day. The Warriors are officially open to this part of the Chinese media. After all, the more the Warriors get publicity in China, the more they can achieve a larger market share. For the entire team The value of the team can be improved.

Most of the teams in the NBA are losing money today. Among the few teams that can make money, the Rockets and Warriors are included.

Yu Jia, the host of China's largest CCTV5 station, came to the scene, and behind him was the Warriors who were preparing for training.

"Before the game, the Clippers issued an announcement that they were going to die. Elton Brand, Corey Maggette, Cassel and many other Clippers players vowed to bring the game back to Los Angeles. So, this How about this game? Will the Warriors win with the same destructive momentum as the previous game? Let's wait and see..."

The camera cuts to the field. Yang Di, who is wearing a training uniform, is practicing jump shots. He keeps hitting mid-range catches. The sense of rhythm, feel and shooting rate all make the Clippers coach Dunleavy, who is silently observing him, terrified.

Game start.

At the beginning, the Clippers on the edge of the cliff broke out with strong fighting spirit. After receiving the ball, Elton Brand forced Yang Di, tilted his body and threw a shot, and scored a goal head-on, aggressively giving the Clippers the lead .

Yang Di slapped the ball bitterly. He didn't like anyone scoring on his head, and he couldn't even get a rebound.

Subsequently, the Clippers made consecutive shots from the outside, and Cassel and Radmanovic hit three-pointers one after another.

Yang Di turned around and hit a jumper, and the defensive end slapped Cassel, who was coming over for a layup, and the Warriors regained momentum. At the halfway point of the two teams' single quarter, the Warriors led the Clippers by 16 points 14-2.

This score is relatively high, because the rhythm of both sides is faster.

The Warriors' offensive position is more organized. Under the combing of Baron Davis, the Warriors should do a better job of passing the ball.

Yang Di helped Dunleavy cover without the ball. Dunleavy made the Warriors' first three-pointer of the game. The Warriors ended the first quarter with a 30-27 lead of just 3 points.

The substitutes began to play against each other, Monta Ellis, Danny Granger and other team rookies quickly matured, reducing the turnover rate in front of a group of old Clippers ruffians.

The more experienced Clippers kept scoring off the bench. With Livingston's mid-range jumper, the Clippers overtook the Warriors.

The Clippers requested a timeout.

Montgomery said to the substitutes: "Guys, you have done a very good job. The defensive end can still limit the Clippers' substitutes. What we have to do is to strengthen the coordination of cuts and cuts and run. The advantage of the offensive end is speed, and we cannot avoid mistakes. Give up our strengths and be brave!"

Monta Ellis was the first to understand. This player who served as a backup point guard knew that his responsibility was not only to dribble the ball across the court, but also to break through the offense and organize and drive his teammates, whether it was Livingston, Or Cassell and Mobley, he should be able to break through.

So when Ellis returned to the court, he immediately attacked Livingston head-on and succeeded. The Clippers did not expect Ellis to come in so quickly.

The score between the two teams was tight. Yang Di returned to the field before Baron Davis, grabbed an offensive rebound, and then passed back to Danny Granger, who made a three-pointer.

"This is Yang Di's role!"

Cai Nan, who was the first dog leg, took the microphone and yelled: "Yang Di is too strong. As soon as he returned to the court, the Clippers' inside line was restrained. He not only grabbed offensive rebounds, but also assisted his teammates to hit three-pointers. It's a major blow to the morale of the Clippers."

Yang Di was in particularly good form. He grabbed offensive rebounds in a row in this quarter, and the Warriors quickly opened up the score. Fortunately, Radmanovic had a convulsion today and made three consecutive points to help the Clippers recover the score. spent.

At halftime, the Warriors led the Clippers by 58 points 52 to 6.

The score difference is not big, but the Clippers are always in a state of chasing points, and their morale is exhausted.

It is probably the so-called one bang, then decline, and three exhaustion.

In the third quarter, the rejuvenated Clippers launched a counterattack. Maggette broke through to Tyson Chandler and completed a slam dunk in front of the 16-meter center, igniting all the Clippers. fan.

This period of time is probably the time when the morale of the Clippers is the strongest.

The Warriors chose to attack in the low post. Yang Di turned around and Brand succeeded in a low post. The speed was frightening. Chris Kaman missed the double-team.

An "answer ball" for a slam dunk!
All the fans raised their arms high, as if seeing the birth of a new king of the stadium.

Brand and Kaman looked at each other helplessly.

But overall, the Clippers had a strong counterattack momentum in this quarter, and scored higher than the Warriors, 83 to 81, and the Warriors only led by two points.

The Clippers had run out of momentum. The Warriors succeeded in attacking consecutively after the start of the last quarter. The point difference widened to nearly 20 points. Yang Di grabbed the [-]th rebound of the game and grabbed nearly half of the Clippers' rebounds by himself.

In the end, the Warriors beat the Clippers 110-101.
