NBA villain

Chapter 646 Deadlock Three

"Although Yang Di is not an outside line, his dunks are also very stretched."

On the sidelines, Barkley was full of praise for Yang Di's dunk. From their point of view, they could appreciate this wonderful picture even more.

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "Yang Di should participate in the slam dunk contest. There is a high demand for him to participate in the slam dunk contest in the league. As a result, LeBron James and Yang Di, who are very physically fit, have never participated in the dunk contest." Slam dunk contest."

"During the interview, Yang Di said that the reason why he didn't participate in the slam dunk contest is that he can only dunk in actual combat, and there is nothing fancy about dunking. Let him come up with some creative dunks. Maybe he has leaped over a small animal at most. of."

The relaxed conversation between the two was in stark contrast to the severe and tense situation on the field.

The Spurs replaced Duncan and Parker. After returning from the timeout, the two sides almost overwhelmed all the main players. The only difference on the Warriors' side was that Monta Ellis continued to stay on the court.

Monta Ellis did not perform well today, but Montgomery needs his breakthrough. This season, Monta Ellis has won Montgomery's high trust with many wonderful performances. Montgomery also likes this player very much. Use him as the sharpest knife on the outside of the Warriors.

With Monta Ellis on the court, Parker has to consume a certain amount of energy on the defensive end.

After Duncan came on the court, the Spurs' defense added another gate. Yang Di did not have the opportunity to attack the basket so easily, and the scores of the two sides returned to the same starting line.

At this time, Montgomery should miss Baron Davis very much.

Baron Davis is the natural nemesis of a team like the Spurs. It doesn't mean that he has a long beard, but that he is born with outside destructive power and strong core organization.

Whether it is Parker or Ginobili, it will be particularly difficult to defend Baron Davis.

And if you switch to a small forward to defend, Baron Davis can rely on the speed of his guard.

In the most ideal situation, Baron Davis will liberate the organizations of Yang Di and Ray Allen. Although the average points per game of the two may drop a little, their efficiency will definitely be greatly improved.

The players have run into the situation without Baron Davis for a season. The current Warriors team is completely based on Yang Di as the core of offense and defense.

Beat Yang Di, you can beat the Warriors.

Of course Popovich knew this. Before the start of the game, he had specially set up many defensive strategies for Yang Di, including when to double-team and when to foul.

The Warriors are against Parker, and the Spurs are against Yang Di.

At halftime, the Spurs led the Warriors by 43 points 41 to 2.

The two sides have never been able to find a way to kill the opponent. The situation on the field is constantly being adjusted, and the scores are rising alternately, falling into a stalemate in the playoffs.

The competition became particularly fierce. The 16 teams in the first round of the league, the matchup between the Warriors and the Spurs, may be the most anxious and intense.

The rhythm of the game in the second half was also the same. The Warriors did not find many opportunities to counterattack and score. The Spurs steadily controlled the rhythm, and the two sides kept the score until the last quarter.

Yang Di rested for 1 minute and then returned to the game. He could take a break in the first half. Every change of score in the second half is crucial. He took a 1-minute rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and Montgomery replaced him. Instead of David Lee, he was replaced.

David Lee's offense is good, but his defense is mediocre. He can only be regarded as the middle and lower reaches of the NBA. No matter how many points he scores, his opponent can score.

After Ginobili's layup, the two sides tied with 2 minutes and 19 seconds left in the game.

85 to 85, the hearts of the fans in Oracle Arena almost jumped out.

Especially with the addition of the unique atmosphere of the playoffs, it is even more exciting.

As time passed, Yang Di received the ball from a high position and faced Duncan who was defending him head-on.

Yang Di raised the basketball and tapped it in the air.

After receiving the ball and breaking through, the dribble on the right side accelerated, and the speed was extremely fast. Duncan opened his arms to resist him, and the two directly confronted each other. With a "bang", Yang Di knocked Duncan away.

At this time, Elson double-teamed, Yang Di raised his hand and flew to the basket, but Elson hit his arm.

"duo~"

The whistle blew and the referee called Elson for a foul.

Duncan shook his head and walked to the side with a blank expression. There is no need for Elson to come to help defend this ball. Yang Di found a chance to make a foul as soon as he assisted in the defense. He is confident that he can still defend against Yang Di alone. this ball.

At the free throw line, Yang Di took the ball.

The voice of MVP sounded in the audience.

Yang Di made two free throws.

The Warriors led 87 to 85, Popovich did not call a timeout, and the time was less than the last 2 minutes!

During the Spurs' offense, Parker received the ball and broke through. After shaking a little space in the middle distance, he directly pulled up and shot a jumper.

"Clang~"

The ball missed, Chandler and Elson jumped together, and when the rebound rebounded for the second time, it was protected by Danny Granger who rushed in.

Granger immediately hugged the ball in his arms, the Warriors are not in a hurry to attack, the most important thing is to stabilize the situation at this time.

The Warriors still handed the ball to Yang Di for singles. The duel between Yang Di and Duncan ended with his back-turning jumper, which was seriously interfered by Duncan and missed.

Elson points the ball to Ginobili.

In the frontcourt, Ginobili directly found Duncan, who was catching up later, but was blocked by Yang Di's delay, and a beautiful hit was given to Duncan.

Duncan missed a jumper and the rebound was taken by Yang Di.

The fans cheered, and the Spurs missed consecutive attacks, giving the Warriors a chance to further expand the score.

The time enters the last 1 minute countdown.

Ray Allen, who was in possession of the ball in the frontcourt, found Yang Di for a pick-and-roll. At the critical moment, the strongest duo of the Warriors was required to cooperate simply. He diverted the ball to the wing.

At this time, the Spurs were empty under the basket, and Granger made a bold three-pointer from the wing. Yang Di might still grab a rebound if he missed it.

"Shh!"

Granger hit the jumper with precision.

The referee looked at the soles of his feet and signaled that it was a two-pointer. The Warriors led the Spurs by 89 points 85 to 4.

Popovich requested a timeout.

Both sides have reached the situation they wanted to achieve, but the Warriors scored at the last moment, and the Spurs also played well. When the opportunity came out, they failed to grasp it.

Under the high-pressure defense, the players' shooting percentages were not high, and the 4-point lead at the critical moment was like a huge natural moat, placed in front of the Spurs players.

Back from the timeout, the Spurs screened in a pick-and-roll, and Ginobili caught the ball on the wing and made a three-point jumper.
