NBA villain

Chapter 460 Leading
"Too strong, these two people."

Nowitzki and Yang Di represent the top offensive level inside the league. The two have their own characteristics. When they are playing on the court, the audience is mesmerized.

Nowitzki turned over and made a jump shot, Yang Di stretched out his long arms, and the German leaned back hard.

The waist of the German is almost broken, and the lower body looks crooked, but the hand shape of the upper body can always remain the same.

Yang Di's bullet speed is amazing, and Nowitzki is forced to throw the ball at an earlier opportunity.

If the rhythm is wrong, no matter how good the shot feels, the hit rate will decrease accordingly.

But Nowitzki will not change because of this. He is the best shooting big man in the league, and his shooting ability has almost become an art, which is deeply rooted in his bone marrow.

When the basketball is thrown, the top of the arc is higher, as if going straight up.

Then, like a bomb dropped by a plane in the air, it penetrated the entire Nets.

"Shh!"

Crisp and clear.

Yang Di shook hands bitterly. He really couldn't cover Nowitzki's ball, just like he couldn't defend Duncan's low turn hook. If he was five centimeters taller, it might be easier to defend.

Fortunately, Nowitzki can't prevent him.

The two formed a mutual explosive situation. At the end of the first quarter, Yang Di scored 9 points and 4 rebounds, while Nowitzki scored 8 points and 2 rebounds.

Yang Di and Nowitzki rested in no particular order, and the two sides began to confront each other with substitutes.

For the Mavericks, the substitutes are Jerry Stackhouse, Desagina Diop, Keith Van Horn and other players who need to be physically fit and experienced. They are considered the most luxurious players in the league. of.

On the Warriors' side, most of them are young people who have just entered the league for a year or two, and they are relatively immature.

Yang Di frowned after leaving the stage, which was also something he was more worried about.

Jerry Stackhouse, although he is 32 years old now, is a league-leading scorer who once scored 29.8 points in a single season. His turnaround jumper and back-to-the-basket step-back jumper are his unique skills.

A large part of the reason for the soaring record of the Mavericks in the past two seasons is that the arrival of Stackhouse has enhanced the Mavericks' bench depth.

"I remember the two seasons when I first entered the league, Jerry was the hottest scorer in the league. In those years, Shaquille O'Neal and Allen Iverson were the main theme of the scoring list. One of the best big men in the league, one is a fighter in the short, and Jerry is the representative of the swingman."

"He's really strong. Although he's slipping down fast, I can feel his danger."

Yang Di nodded, "In the overtime game of the Western Conference semifinals, Jerry Stackhouse proved that he is the kind of player who can stand up at critical moments. Regarding his defense, I only hope that our teammates will not Take it lightly, be careless."

Both of them even wondered what kind of changes such an experienced bench gangster would bring to the court.

On the court, Diop moved according to the Mavericks' tactics and came to the elbow to catch the ball.

Diop is 2 meters tall and weighs nearly 13 kilograms. He is a heavyweight insider and a well-known meat shield in the league. In this period, although moving like this is slow, an insider with excellent weight and strength is very popular.

Diop handed Jerry cover.

After catching the ball, Stackhouse went around Diop and broke through to the basket, and the speed of leaning over took off, and John Salmons behind him couldn't catch up with him.

"Snapped!"

With one step, Stackhouse suddenly took a step to the side, jumped up and shot in the air.

John Salmons rushed forward in an emergency, but failed to cause particularly serious interference.

Under slight interference, Stackhouse's touch was not affected and he hit the ball steadily.

"It's too far away. It's better to go around or get stuck than his defense." Yang Di shook his head. John's defense is still very average, and he is in the middle of the league.

Experience has a better advantage in this kind of game. It didn't take long for Adrian Griffin, who was on the fast break, to rely on Monta Ellis who was chasing and defending. Off the baseline, low-handed layup.

"Experienced players will use their bodies better."

This kind of skill cannot be learned simply by looking at it, nor can it be comprehended after spending a few hours in the training hall. In most cases, after playing for a long time, it slowly forms a conditioned reflex.

The Mavericks' substitute set off a scoring climax, overwhelming the Warriors' substitute on the field, and the score was pulled, 35 to 29, with the Warriors trailing by 6 points.

Montgomery could only ask for a timeout, and he gathered the players together.

"Byron, you go on stage first!"

Montgomery made personnel adjustments, because the Mavericks' perimeter defense was not strong, and Byron did not use up much energy in the confrontation in the first quarter. Compared with Yang Di's confrontation with the Mavericks' super strong interior, Byron was more relaxed and played more. Time is also reasonable.

Byron nodded, knowing the heavy responsibility on his shoulders in this round of the series.

After the timeout ended, Byron, who returned to the court, immediately made a one-stop breakthrough layup to stabilize the Warriors' situation on the court.

Seeing this, Avery Johnson was not to be outdone. He waved his hand immediately and prepared to replace Jason Terry. Terry can strengthen the Mavericks' offense. Johnson made up his mind to freeze the lead in this quarter. 5 points or more.

One rises, the other chases.

Yang Di, Nowitzki and others also played.

Yang Di stuck to his position to prevent Nowitzki and others from easily entering the penalty area.

Then it jumped up suddenly, like a dragon in the bay area.

"Snapped!"

He grabbed the rebound with his hands together, his feet spread out, and he stood firmly on the floor.

"I like the way he catches rebounds." The Mavericks coach "Little General" Avery Johnson and the assistant coach said, "The old Nelson liked Yang Di's rebounding ability very much, and he wanted to get Yang Di to the Mavericks. Come on, it’s a pity that it didn’t succeed in the end, if the Mavericks got Yang Di at that time, I think we would already be the championship.”

"He and Dirk are a perfect match."

Nowitzki didn't catch as many rebounds as Yang Di did, and he didn't have Yang Di's hunger for rebounds. Yang Di then took the opportunity to grab an offensive rebound and made a tip-up.

Nowitzki and others were so scared that they immediately cheered up. They really couldn't be careless at all, and relaxed their attention to Yang Di.

At halftime, Yang Di scored 15 points and 9 rebounds, including two offensive rebounds in the second quarter, while Nowitzki scored 13 points and 5 rebounds. Yang Di is temporarily in the lead.
