Chapter 478 Pick and Roll

Although the Heat won 5 games less than the Warriors in the regular season.

But that's because O'Neal and others were more or less affected by injuries. Among them, O'Neal only played 58 games, and "White Chocolate" Jason Williams only played 59 games. In other words, Wade is considered the best, only missed 7 games.

In fact, the Heat's strength is very strong, and the position is the first in the league.

After playing a few rounds, the Heat took advantage of O'Neal's huge body and began to look for pick-and-roll offenses on the outside.

Whether it is Jason Williams or Dwyane Wade, they are all good players, and because Wade's off-ball ability is not particularly outstanding, and his offense with the ball is close to the top of the league, Pat Riley is more inclined to Instead of letting Wade play pick-and-rolls, although some "white chocolate" organizational talents are bound to be sacrificed, it improves the team's overall offense to a greater extent.

O'Neal is the beneficiary of the pick-and-roll attack. After Wade finishes the pick-and-roll and attracts the Warriors to double-team, most of them will give the ball to O'Neal who goes down to the inside.

Chandler had a hard time defending.

"boom!"

O'Neal turned around in a low position and knocked away Tyson Chandler. Yang Di moved quickly and, together with Chandler, double-teamed O'Neal.

If O'Neal was two years younger, he might have jumped up with this shot, like a shark jumping out of the water, hitting the basket with one hit.

But this year, O'Neal is 34 years old, his weight and strength are still there, his flexibility, speed, and jumping have declined rapidly, and his level of breaking double teams has also dropped significantly.

He raised his arms high, but the two of them couldn't cover him, and the hooked basketball deviated from the expected track.

"clang!"

Yang Di turned around, leaned out, raised his hands, and grabbed the rebound.

Because Haslem was in the wrong position, Yang Di turned around and pushed forward as soon as he landed, flexibly not like an insider.

"careful!"

Pat Riley yelled from the sidelines, seeing Yang Di tanking the ball like a tank, his heart was in his throat.

Haslem ran wildly, Anthony Walker also wanted to come over to delay Yang Di, Wade and Jason retreated deeply to defend, the entire Heat team became flustered following Yang Di's breakthrough, and the court was in a state of chaos. People are on their backs.

Yang Di is extremely skilled at handling the ball. Over the past few seasons, he has mastered the league's best ball-handling skills.

Facing the looming double-team, he controlled the ball with his right hand and made a fake move to the right, then suddenly changed direction in front of his body, and switched to his left hand with a "snap", with a strong thrust from the left.

Anthony Walker and Haslem, who came to defend, both looked in their hearts. They seemed to be unable to catch Yang Di's floating jersey.

At this time, Baron Davis stepped forward to meet Yang Di.

Yang Di understood and gave the ball to Baron Davis standing outside the three-point line.

Then he bowed his head and took a big stride, speeding up to cut to the basket again. After Byron caught the ball and hit the ground, Yang Di just left everyone behind and hit the basket one-stop after receiving the basketball.

No one dares to steal its edge!
"boom!"

Hitting the frame with one arm, Yang Di tilted his head, dodged the dropped basketball, and glided steadily to the ground.

It's too fast. When playing against the Mavericks, the Warriors' fast break was basically not reflected. Compared with the Heat, the biggest advantage of this Western Conference team is undoubtedly revealed.

Pat Riley rubbed his chin, frowning and thinking about how to contain the Warriors' transition offense.

On the field, Wade and O'Neal pick and roll.

Wade bypassed the pick-and-roll defender and rushed to the basket from Tyson Chandler's side, Yang Di helped defend, the Warriors shrunk the defense, and every player moved.

Wade did not choose the initial storm, and gave it to Anthony Walker, who was in a half-open state on the wing.

Walker made an open three-point shot, and Danny Granger caught up with the defense later. It was already a beat slow, and at most it was to put some psychological pressure on the offensive players.

"clang!"

The basketball failed to make a shot. Anthony Walker, as the Celtics' twin star back then, was not good at shooting three-pointers.

At the basket, Yang Disheng got stuck on O'Neal, and Tyson Chandler got stuck on Haslem. The two changed positions and got stuck on their respective opponents.

Yang Di stretched out his hand, like a magnet in his hand, and he easily caught the rebound.

"Snapped!"

Yang Di clasped his hands together to protect the rebound. O'Neill did not dare to evacuate, facing Yang Di, and opened his arms to prevent Yang Di from turning around and dribbling easily.

O'Neill waited for two or three seconds before starting to retreat.

Yang Di grabbed the ball with one hand, then dribbled the ball with his low hand, leaned over, and his arms almost touched the floor vertically.

Seeing the clumsy O'Neal running forward, Yang Di immediately accelerated to run forward, and soon surpassed O'Neal, becoming the ninth player to pass halftime.

Haslem stepped forward, Yang Di made a point out, Fisher received the ball, and was not in a hurry to attack, signaling the Warriors to slow down.

O'Neill exhausted his energy and ran over, panting heavily.

Fisher holds the ball and picks and rolls with Yang Di from the three-point line.

Fisher is a representative of the league's stable style of play. As a successful representative of assisting big men, he has rich experience in major competitions. A few years ago, he helped O'Neal reach the top. Now they meet again in the finals. Each is their own master, which can be regarded as a highlight of this finals.

Fisher dribbled the ball to the left, and after Yang Di blocked Jason Williams, he immediately went down.

Haslem chose to defend, but still didn't dare to let Yang Di go. Fisher handed it over to Anthony Walker, who came from the flank to help defend, and Fisher turned outside.

Danny Granger received the ball, Anthony Walker moved quickly, and compared with his Celtic defensive attitude, he was a different person.

Granger took the initiative to control the rhythm, and originally wanted to directly make a breakthrough towards the basket.

As a result, as soon as he moved and took a step in, the referee whistle sounded.

"Number 33, let's go."

Danny Granger slowed to a stop and looked back at the referee's gesture, where the referee, rolling his arms, told him the truth.

"No way, is there a mistake?" Granger returned the ball to the referee, his facial features wrinkled together.

Yang Di patted Granger on the shoulder, signaling him to adjust quickly.

The fans immediately booed and were dissatisfied with the penalty.

In the playback footage, it was shown that Danny Granger did step first, but no one would have noticed it if he hadn't looked carefully.

This kind of ball is called blown or not blown. Usually at home, this kind of ball will be taken more care of by the referee.

In the finals, these conventional default penalty scales are also somewhat different. Perhaps the referees hope to bring fans a fair duel with real knives and guns.
