NBA villain

Chapter 47 First Battle ([-])

It took only a moment for Yang Di to complete the dunk after grabbing the offensive rebound. The fans in the American Airlines Arena were stunned. The visual impact of this scene was extremely strong.

"Good job, Yang!" Wade was the first to stand up from the bench and applaud Yang Di, just like Yang Di who was the first to stand up when he completed the dunk just now.

Immediately afterwards, the audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers.

Yang Di fell from the basket, clenched his fists and roared, then turned around and ran back to defend.

The DJ at the scene was stunned for a few seconds before he realized it, stretched his tone, and called out his name loudly.

"This guy."

Van Gundy also did not expect Yang Di to be able to contribute energy as soon as he appeared on the stage. Although he subconsciously didn't like this flamboyant and vicious second-round pick from China, he had to admire Pat Riley's superhuman draft pick Looking at Yang Di's current ability and potential in training and competition, if there is no impact from injuries, it is absolutely worth it.

After a pause, the Pacers players began to serve the baseline ball, and Fred Jones dribbled the ball halfway.

Yang Di stood behind Scott Pollard, and Scott Pollard felt the mountain-like strength of the young man behind him. He squeezed hard, but his body was squeezed away by Yang Di little by little. out of the paint.

Austin Crohill was also uncomfortable, and Haslem was also amazing, with a particularly tough style, resisting him and not letting him into the paint.

So Austin Croshere ran out to set Fred a pick-and-roll. After the Pacers made a high pick-and-roll screen, Alston lost his defensive position, and Fred Jones made a mid-range jumper. 31 to 37, the Pacers trailed by 6 points.

"Raff's defense is also drunk." Assistant coach Walker covered his face. Alston was really thoughtful on the offensive end, with fast speed, good passing, and good shooting. In terms of lack of confrontation, effort and defensive awareness have always been problematic.

Offensive and defensive transitions on the court, the Heat attacked in the half court.

Haslem came out to do a pick-and-roll for Alston, who broke through 45 degrees to the free throw line and then distributed it to Eddie Jones who slipped to the bottom corner.

Eddie Jones raised his hand for a three-pointer and missed.

The rebound bounced far away, and Yang Di was blocked by Pollard, who was exhausted with all his strength, watching the Pacers small forward rushing in and stealing the rebound.

"Is it necessary to play so far!" Yang Di thought in his heart, and he felt it was a pity that he didn't lose a single rebound.

The Pacers attacked, and Fred Jones countered Croshire under the sling. He didn't grasp the angle and strength well.

Rasul, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, grabbed the ball and immediately hugged it in his arms.

A burst of applause at the scene and an excellent defense can also arouse the cheers of the fans.

Alston crossed the half with eight seconds to go, and then stretched out his hand to call for his teammates to run. Yang Di provided Eddie Jones on the weak side as a cover for running without the ball.

Eddie Jones came up through the screen and immediately attracted the attention of the shooting guard who was defending him and Pollard who wanted to defend.

Yang Di saw that he was empty, and cut to the basket almost without thinking.

Alston's eyes lit up, his wrist flicked, and "Huo" hit the ball to Yang Di. At this time, Yang Di had already rushed up, and the Pacers' hinterland was empty. Crozier could only come up to defend Yang di.

Yang Di dribbled the ball with both hands, then held the basketball high with one hand in his right hand, and made two steps in three steps, ready to dunk.

Crohill stepped forward and slapped Yang Di's hand. Yang Di stabilized his body and shook his hand habitually, but the basketball was no longer able to catch it and flew out.

"Beep~" Defensive foul!
The referee patted his arm, indicating that the Pacers thugs fouled, and Yang Di walked to the free throw line.

"This ball is mine, and it has been passed to Udonis." Grant sat on the bench and said eccentrically.

Indeed, if Yang Di chose to split the ball just now, Haslem will be completely open. Whether it is a mid-range shot or directly hitting the basket, it is better than Yang Di's position.But Yang Di didn't see that the space on the court is smaller than the space for the audience to watch. Many times, the players may not necessarily find the empty space that the audience looks simple.

The referee gestured for two free throws, walked to the baseline, and threw the ball to Yang Di.

The clock on the basket stopped. Yang Di took the basketball and patted it on the ground several times. Then he moved slightly, looked directly at the basket, and when everyone was waiting impatiently, he gently pushed the ball out.

"A free throw is so ink-stained!"

The players and coaches on the scene were in a mess in an instant. Yang Di played vigorously and was so active during the positional battle, but he felt like he was constipated when he walked to the free throw line.

"clang!"

Pressing the point for 5 seconds, Yang Di dialed the ball out, but the basketball hit the inside of the basket and bounced high, then touched the backboard and deviated directly from any track that could fall into the basket.

Yang Di's face turned black, the result of his poor shooting was all-round, his free throw ability value was only over 40, and his free throw percentage was too bad.

He took two steps forward, high-fived Haslem, Butler and others, but still missed the second goal.

"It turns out that free throws are not good." Rick Carlisle, the head coach of the Pacers, let out a sigh of relief. The performance of this young man just before the game was really different from that of ordinary rookie insiders. The inside tradition, if you don't know how to shoot, it will be much easier.

The Pacers attacked, and Crohill's inside attack was interfered by Haslem.

The basketball circled around the hoop, and Yang Di was overjoyed. Pollard, who was stuck behind his back, was about to accept the rebound, but a red figure rushed in from the outside before him and snatched the rebound.

"Good card, Yang! Hurry up!"

The monkey-like Alston snatched the rebound, and then turned around on the spot, leaving Yang Di with a big back.

"I……"

Yang Di was very resentful, but his movements were not slow, and he rushed out after him.

Then just after halftime, Alston had passed the ball to Russell Butler, and Butler passed it to Eddie Jones in the corner.

Eddie Jones faced the defensive player who was rushing over, and stepped forward to break through. The defensive player was hit by a time lag, his center of gravity was unstable, and he lost his defensive position all of a sudden.

Eddie Jones easily made an empty basket, and the Heat led by 39 points 31 to 8.

At this time, more than half of the second quarter had passed. Carlisle thought about it and called a timeout. After Fred Jones dribbled the ball for halftime, the game entered the timeout time.

The audience gave another burst of applause. After replacing Yang Di and Haslem, the Heat not only secured the rebounds, but also increased the strength of the inside defense. The scene clearly had the upper hand.

Yang Di walked off the field, his face still retains the excitement when he was on the field. At this moment, his heart was beating faster than ever, as if his soul was trembling.

"Good job." Van Gundy and the players who came down one by one high-fived.

"Rebound protection is very good." Van Gundy and Yang Di high-fived, looking into Yang Di's eyes and said.

"Small things." Yang Di raised his eyebrows.

Stan Van Gundy frowned and didn't speak.

Then Yang Di high-fived his teammates one by one, Odom, Caron Butler, crossed Grant, and hugged Wade fiercely.

"Why do you learn how to dunk from me?"

"Only a dunk can express my emotions, so cool."

Yang Di paused, and continued: "Udunis told me that the Pacers went to the nightclub last night. If they don't beat them today, there will be no such good opportunities in the future."

"You're so witty." Wade laughed.

More than a minute later, the timeout ended, Yang Di and Wade played at the same time, and Wade replaced Eddie Jones.
