Chapter 642 Oracle I
On April 2007, 4, the playoffs officially began.

The Warriors did not have a game on the first day. The four games officially arranged by the NBA are the Heat against the Bulls, the Pistons against the Magic, the Jazz against the Rockets, and the Nets against the Raptors.

The Bulls are the same as the Rockets. Although they only rank fifth due to the rules of the division championship ranking, they have the home court advantage in the first round by virtue of their record advantage.

The four games are very exciting, especially the Rockets play the Jazz.

A very high-quality defensive battle, the Rockets finally won the game 84 to 75 with difficulty. Yao Ming scored a game-high 28 points, and also recorded 13 rebounds and 1 block. He supported the Rockets' defense And offense, under such a slow offensive rhythm, contributed extremely high efficiency.

McGrady's performance is also very good, 23 points and 7 assists.

The young Jazz have paid for their first playoff class, and the second leg of the two sides will be held in two days.

The Bulls beat the Heat, the Pistons beat the Magic, and the Nets beat the Raptors.

The Heat are really dying. In the matchup between O'Neal and Daben, he didn't show much advantage. After being plagued by injuries all season, he finally showed fatigue.There is also Wade, who is also plagued by some injuries. Although his personal performance is impeccable, in the playoffs, in the first game, he did not show the same dominance as last year.

The next day, April 4, is the second day of the playoffs.

The players returned to the team separately. Because they all work in Oakland, San Francisco, many Warriors players bought houses here, and some chose to rent more high-end apartments.

Yang Di wore a pair of exaggerated big headphones, listened to music, and walked out of the VIP channel.

The cameras ambushed on both sides secretly pointed at him, because it was shot from the upward angle, making Yang Di appear taller.

Yang Di pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in.

Montgomery is dragging the tactical board, making the last tactical arrangement before going on the field.

"Tony Parker of the Spurs, after the top of the arc, Ginobili on the wing will move up from the bottom corner. Duncan may receive the ball at the elbow or in the low position. It is better for Parker to cover in a single block. Take a mid-range jumper if you're going to do it."

"Everyone pay attention to Bruce Bowen's position."

"In the Spurs' tactical system, Bruce Bowen plays the role of a fixed-point turret in the offense. His position is at the bottom corner on both sides or at a 45-degree angle on both sides. It is basically impossible to appear at the top of the arc, because Bruce Bowen The defensive task is relatively light, so I will make defensive tactical adjustments here, Danny, I need you to take on heavier defensive tasks in the Spurs game, you need to be responsible for Manu Ginobili's defense, Michael - Finley's defense."

Montgomery turned his head and looked at Ray Allen seriously, "Ray, so you unleash your offensive enthusiasm and shoot more and more accurate three-pointers in the Spurs game!"

Not long after Montgomery finished speaking, the players walked out of the player channel collectively, and then came to the Oracle Arena for pre-match warm-up training.

Without the supervision of assistant coaches, the players themselves completed all warm-up tasks conscientiously and meticulously.

Montgomery stood on the sidelines without any expression on his face.

"What's the matter? Are you still worried about this game? It's already reached this point, and everything depends on the performance of the players themselves." After working together for many years, Ron Adams has a clear understanding of his old partner .

"No, it's not just this game, what I'm worried about is the whole series. You know, two years ago, we lost to the Spurs. The Spurs are the toughest team in the league. They have successfully transformed in the past two years. Tim Duncan has put more tasks on defense, and the Spurs' defense has returned to the top of the league. Although we scored fiercely this season, in the playoffs, physical confrontation I am very worried about whether the players can maintain the continuity of their offense." Montgomery sighed, after all, it is the Spurs, how could he not be worried.

"The Spurs are the most up-to-date team in the league, they can transition perfectly, from Admiral David Robinson to Tim Duncan, from Tim Duncan to the troika, I don't know which supernova they will transition to in the future, but I know that as long as they have Gregg Popovich, they will have the best team culture in the NBA, a team that goes straight to the championship culture."

The Spurs can be regarded as a model of success in the small American ball market. Relatively speaking, the Warriors are more like a big fortune. They got Yang Di inexplicably and completed their rise inexplicably.

In the evening, the Oracle Arena is already a sea of ​​white.

Warriors fans frantically rushed from the big square outside the stadium to the stadium. Countless fans waved flags. Many die-hard Warriors fans had Warriors logo paint on their faces, and some fans even wore Warriors retro jerseys. , the wide size 13, has a different charm from others.

This is the way the Warriors defend their title, and the Bay Area fans are all behind it.

The players finished their warm-up training. Yang Di looked up and saw that the 2005-06 season championship banner was flying over the arena. A gust of wind blew from somewhere, and the championship banner was blowing loudly.

Shannon Brown seemed fidgety. He was the only rookie of the Warriors this year. He participated in the playoffs for the first time. Under the strong atmosphere, he was a little nervous.

Yang Di gave him a funny look. Since Yang Di entered the league, he has participated in the playoffs every year. For him, the first round of the playoffs is not much different from the regular season.But Shannon Brown was different, and it was to be expected that he would be nervous.

The appearance ceremony of the playoffs was more grand than the regular season. When the Spurs players came out, they were booed by the audience.

The boos were neat and tidy, which was several grades higher than in the regular season.

In contrast, every player of the Warriors received even greater cheers. Yang Di was the last one to play. When he stepped out of the player tunnel, the cheers of the entire arena reached their peak.

"Yang—di—"

The huge cheers were like monstrous waves, as if they were going to overturn the entire arena, and even the floor trembled.

The fans in the arena stood up and applauded, waving slogans and jackets in their hands, everything that could be waved in their hands, they all moved in their hands, Yang Di is the pride of this city, he is the Warriors now The only leader.

Yang Di tightened the elbow pads on his arms, smiled and waved to everyone, and took a deep breath, the road to defending the title will begin from now on!
