NBA villain

Chapter 62
The Pistons finally replaced Big Ben, and the replacement was Mehmet Okur, a European player who was tall and mighty, strong and strong, and looked like an insider.

But Yang Di knew that this guy had a very long range on the offensive end, even extending beyond the three-point line.

"A wonderful and alternative center."

Yang Di stared at the brown pupils of the European, with a shaggy beard and an old-fashioned appearance. He couldn't tell that he was a rookie who only entered the league the year before last.In fact, Yang Di didn't know this. Although Okur only entered the league the year before last, he was already 22 years old when he entered the league, and he will be 24 years old this year.

The Heat did not jump to win the kick-off, so they had the ball at the beginning of the second and third quarters.

Alston, who re-entered the field, had possession of the ball for halftime, Wade was replaced for a rest, John Wallace and Eddie Jones were on the outside, Odom was replaced on the inside, and Malik Allen was replaced.

"Tactical No. 5."

Alston pretended to stretch out his finger to direct the movement. He pointed to Yang Di and signaled Yang Di to leave the penalty area.Yang Di blinked his eyes. Originally, his shooting range was short, so if he evacuated from the restricted area, there would be no threat, would he?
Alston passes the ball to Malik Allen in the high post, Malik and John Wallace, the wing player who spins up from the corner, do a hand-off pass screen, John Wallace at 45 degrees from the three-point line After receiving the ball, he changed his mind to break through inside, and after two steps, it was distributed to Malik Allen, who was down.

Malik caught the ball and made a jumper. 16 to 24, the Heat scored 2 points as soon as they came up, narrowing the point difference.

Pistons position attack.

The Pistons also replaced a number of substitutes, Atkins at point guard, Chris Williams at shooting guard, Prince at small forward, Selk Rebrasia at power forward, and Okur at center.

Atkins is a typical small point guard in the NBA, with fast speed and accurate shooting, but his layup percentage after breaking through is not high, and his finishing ability is not strong, and he mostly uses mid-range shooting as his main offensive method.After he came to the Pistons, as a substitute for Billups, he had less than 20 minutes of playing time every night, and he was the sharp knife of the Pistons.

After the second quarter came up, he immediately showed the short man's breakthrough skills. After dribbling the ball in the crotch, he changed his front to backhand and broke through.

Okur evacuated beyond the three-point line, Yang Di followed him out of the inside line, and the restricted area was empty.

Yang Di subconsciously prepared to shrink his defense. As soon as he turned around, Atkins, who was breaking through, made a pass error and was directly intercepted by Eddie Jones.

Fast attack!

Yang Di turned around and ran wildly. His position was on the outside, and his running speed was obviously faster than Okur. After a few steps, he was already faster than Okur, passing halftime first.

Eddie Jones and Yang Di played two-for-one in the frontcourt, and Larry Brown stood up from the bench.

Yang Di pointed to the sky, Eddie Jones on the left dribbled the ball and suddenly threw the ball into the sky, Okur in the middle already knew what Eddie Jones was going to do, but he had no way to turn around defended.

The basketball was tumbling in the air. Yang Di stared at the basketball, his calf muscles tensed, and he kicked his right leg on the ground, suddenly bursting with strength.

The body flew up without any force, and the basketball flew to the right side of the basket. Yang Di grabbed the basketball with his arms bent in the air, and then lifted the basketball with both hands. With the ball in hand, he slammed it down!
"Bang!"

The basketball pierced through the white net, and the clear sound of smashing the frame covered up the noisy sound of the entire court.

The entire American Airlines arena fell into silence for an instant, and the next moment, more than half of the fans gave applause and cheers without hesitation.

"This guy can do it, his head is almost flat!"

"He jumps so high, he dunks so hard."

Yang Di retreated and gave Eddie Jones a high-five to celebrate, "That's a good dunk, big brother." Eddie Jones was also very excited. His teammates completed the alley-oop explosion, which made him ignite when passing the ball.

The Heat's bench was boiling, and Wade and others stood up to applaud Yang Di and shake the towel.

The scene shot showed Yang Di who was retreating. Yang Di looked left and right, followed by Okur who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, and he was very happy.

"This young Chinese man is really nice." Big Ben whispered to Billups.

Billups looked at Ben Wallace in surprise. It was not easy to get his recognition. He is still a rookie, which shows that this rookie is indeed excellent and unique.

"The biggest difference between Darko and him is that Darko's strength is really a bit weak."

"It's not bad. He seems to be at the forefront of the interior line when he is on the side, and he is only 18 years old." Billups wondered.

"No." Big Ben pointed to Yang Di on the field, who was holding Okuka motionless, and then jumped up easily again, taking off the backboard, "This rookie's strength is very good, I don't know if he is How to train, but I can feel that this young man already has the strength of an NBA starting insider, and it is a very balanced strength, with strong lower body and upper body strength."

"The core strength should also be excellent," Big Ben continued.

Billups said: "That's really good. I didn't expect such a gem in the second round. It's a pity that he couldn't be selected."

Ben Wallace said with a smile: "We only have the second pick in the first round this year. No matter how daring Joe Dumars is, he would not dare to pick this young man with the second pick. Detroit fans will tear his office down with a hammer." Lose."

There were two more rounds on the field, and neither side scored.

At 9 minutes and 29 seconds, Yang Di provided Alston with a pick-and-roll cover. Alston made a wrist-turning motion to break through.

Okur emptied Yang Di to defend Alston, and Alstom broke through the bottom line and passed to the basket to Yang Di, Yang Di got a chance.

"Crack!" Yang Di jumped in the air, and his arm was hit by Prince who was defending. He lost the basketball in the air in an instant. Although he grabbed the basket with both hands, he failed to score the goal.

"It's a thug!" Yang Di fell to the basket, and found that the referee didn't mean to call a foul at all, and his whole body froze instantly, "Are you blind?"

After that, the referee didn't like Yang Di, and the Pistons had already started to advance past the half court. Yang Di curled his lips and returned to the defense.

On the other hand, Stan Van Gundy on the side was a little angry, and still complained to the referee relentlessly: "This ball is obviously fouled, man, this ball must have been fouled, the ball has been dropped, is this a block? My God, unbelievable."

The Pistons finally scored their first goal since the second quarter. Prince made a layup. After Yang Di was pulled beyond the three-point line, the defense of the penalty area was somewhat stretched.

……

Yang Di played two more rounds and was substituted. He scored 10 points and 2 rebounds in less than 5 minutes. The number of rebounds is always higher than the points.

Subsequently, the two teams continued to adjust their lineups, and after halfway through the second quarter, it became a confrontation with the starters again.

The Pistons began to work hard again. After Hamilton came on the field, he hit two mid-range shots in a row, and then the inside Campbell caused a defensive foul by Haslem, and the score was stretched to 8 points again.

Yang Di watched the Heat's main force being suppressed by the Pistons. Although there were occasional goals and the point difference was not too much, there was always a sense of decline.

At the end of halftime, the Pistons led the Heat by 47 points 38 to 9.

The TV station broadcasting the broadcast began to broadcast the highlights of the goals in the first half. Yang Di's alley-oop dunk with Eddie Jones was played repeatedly, and the slow motion playback from different angles made it even more powerful. In the entire NBA, All are rare and wonderful dunks.

Some neutral Miami fans have slowly changed their views on Yang Di, at least it seems that Yang Di is still very expressive on the court.

However, some fans who have completely hated Yang Di, instead thought of Yang Di's lack of excellence, such as Yang Di's single offensive method. They think that Yang Di's coming to Miami is a mistake, and Miami does not need Yang Di. For the defense, Grant is enough. Well, the newcomer Haslem is also good at defense.

In the second half, Yang Di had 5 minutes of playing time at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter. No one passed the ball to him again. He protected 2 backcourt rebounds in the confrontation with No Rest and Big Ben, and then Van Gundy was replaced again. At that time, the Heat had fallen behind by about 13 points and continued to chase points on the offensive end.

It's a pity that the Heat still failed to catch up with the Pistons in the end, and they suffered a loss in the first game at home.

The Pistons beat the Heat 93 to 81 by 12 points. Eddie Jones scored the highest score for the Heat with 20 points. Haslem and Odom scored 12 points respectively. Wade performed poorly and made 9 of 1 shots. Only 4 points were recorded in the game. From the data point of view, it is not as good as Yang Di with 2 points and 7 rebounds.

Wade walked into the player tunnel with his head down in frustration, and Yang Di was not very happy. When he passed the player tunnel, he seemed to hear the ridicule and disgust of the fans at the tunnel entrance.There were even two middle-aged fans wearing No. 44 jerseys and gave him a thumbs down gesture.

"Go back to your China, we don't need you."

He bit his lip, trying to calm himself, but his heart was sour and lost beyond description.
