NBA villain

Chapter 666 Mutual Attack II

The American West Arena was full of voices.

The offense of the Suns was like a tide, and every goal would cause the entire arena to erupt. The fans shouted and cheered with all their might, hitting the eardrums of the visiting Warriors players.

"Be an enemy of an army, be an enemy of 2 people, be an enemy of a city."

Yang Di stood on the spot with his hips akimbo, smiled, narrowed his eyes, and said nothing.

At the end of the first quarter, he has scored 11 points and 3 rebounds. Although the Suns have been double-teaming him, not every double-teaming is so timely. , Stoudemire, Sean Marion and others all had fouls.

Yang Di also fouled once, against Stoudemire who was removed. Stoudemire played in the air, and if he couldn't cover him, he might foul.

The two sides can be regarded as evenly matched. At the end of the first quarter, the Suns 32 to 29, leading by 3 points.

In the first half of the second quarter dominated by substitute players, Monta Ellis faced Barbosa.

Barbosa is known as the Brazilian Lightning. Like Yang Di, he is also a player in the 03 class, and he can be regarded as an elite player in the 03 class. He has made a lot of name in the league. This summer He'll be a restricted free agent, and he's worth a lot.

Monta Ellis entered the league two years later than Barbosa, and he is also much younger, but his speed is definitely not slower than Barbosa. Monta Ellis is the fastest dribble advance in the Warriors The player is a little faster than the 1-meter Louis Williams.

But the competition is not simply about who is faster. If the two are singled out, it is just a [-]-[-] situation.

Barbosa is good at playing pick-and-rolls. After Nash was off the court, he carried the banner of the Suns' offense.

Surrounding pick-and-roll players, Barbosa can dribble and shoot, assist teammates, and hit the basket directly. For the Warriors' bench group, this is a huge test.

Soon, Biedrins suffered from Barbosa's body, and was tricked into a foul by Barbosa who broke through.

Barbosa made consecutive free throws to the free throw line.

The Suns led the Warriors by 40 points 35 to 5. After Barbosa hit a three-pointer and the Suns led the Warriors 43 to 35, Montgomery called a timeout.

"The situation is not good for the Warriors. The Suns are fully fired, and every breakthrough into the interior can almost be converted into a score."

Barkley couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried for the Warriors. He burped after eating the hamburger, and then realized that his image was a bit damaged, so he quickly said a lot of words to attract the attention of the watching fans.

"The Warriors' defense has a big problem. They can't run with the basketball. They have to stare at people. The speed of the basketball transfer is too fast. If you stare at the basketball, it is easy to get out of position." He is talking about Monta Ellis , The single defense is better, but the overall defense is a big colander, "I think Leandro Barbosa can be double-teamed. Sometimes, he is Kobe Bryant of the Suns. After a game, he is convulsed. It’s not uncommon to score 30 or so points.”

Montgomery is also thinking about changing how to defend Barbosa, who has posed a huge threat to the Warriors' defensive test of the bench lineup.

After thinking about it, he replaced David Lee with Tyson Chandler, and formed twin towers with Biedrins to protect the penalty area.

But in this way, the Warriors gave up the inside offense and relied entirely on the outside to attack, so in order to avoid excessive pressure, Montgomery replaced Ray Allen and Monta Ellis. It was put on the experienced player Matt Barnes.

Barnes can attack and defend, and his three-point shooting percentage is over 35%, which can be regarded as a supplement for outside forts.

A pair of arms carved dragons and phoenixes, when standing with Yang Di, Barnes is like a thug, after playing, he is also known as a villain, the Suns are not all good birds, but No one dared to mess with him.

After the timeout, the Warriors were in a better state, attacking from the outside and defending from the inside, with a clearer style of play.

Barbosa's breakthrough was also limited to a certain extent. The Warriors recovered a little point difference, and after Yang Di came on the court, the rotation was re-started.

Ray Allen, Monta Ellis and Tyson Chandler were rested.

Yang Di played with the substitutes for a while, the Warriors rotated the whole team, the starting lineup changed to the field, and they played against the Suns in turn.

"I come!"

With half a quarter of the game left, Yang Di took the initiative to ask for the ball to strengthen his personal offense.

He received the ball in the low post on the right, and Stoudemire defended. The moment he received the ball, the Suns double-teamed. Yang Di turned around and walked to the baseline.

Stoudemire wanted to grab a rebound, but his defensive reaction was not that fast. Although Yang Di's ball moved a lot and seemed to be difficult to shoot, in fact, he received very little interference.

With an excellent sense of rhythm and shooting touch, the ball went straight into the frame.

"You want to jump up and defend?"

Defense is not what Stoudemire is good at. Defending Yang Di, Stoudemire is in a dilemma. Whether to jump or not, he himself does not have an accurate judgment. It is very likely that he will jump next time, but Yang Di is just a fake move. , and then changed his footsteps and passed him directly.

The Suns have no players who can limit Yang Di one-on-one. They can only limit Yang Di's performance as much as possible through round-the-clock battles.

But when Yang Di wants to score points, he is still unstoppable. The Spurs still have Duncan who can forcibly restrict Yang Di, but what about the Suns?
In the blink of an eye, Yang Di turned around and shot, hooked the basket, broke through for a layup, scored points in various ways, and scored more than 20 points. The Warriors also succeeded in chasing the score to 61 to 62 before halftime, only missing the Suns Team 1 point.

The scores of both teams were very high. It was an offensive battle. The fans enjoyed watching it very much, and the ratings also increased steadily.

In the era of the rise of small balls, the Suns, Mavericks and Warriors are three of them.

Among them, the Mavericks are good at running and bombing, but this season has reduced their speed, focused on defense, and often fell behind in positional battles.The Warriors like defensive counterattacks the most, and they have a strong ability to convert offense and defense to score.The Suns, on the other hand, have a very fast offensive rhythm, with three-pointers like rain and fast breaks like lightning.

The Warriors won the championship last season, which is considered to be the first small ball team in history to win the championship, but the problem is that the Warriors are not purely small balls. The Warriors have a lot of offensive positions. It does not admit that the Warriors are a small ball team, nor does it admit that a small ball team can win the championship.

But the Suns are a purely small ball team, and their positional offense scores account for a very low percentage of their total points. Most of the time, they rely on fast breaks and full-court offenses to break down the opponent's defense.

Many fans regard the matchup between the two teams as a matchup between the two big and small teams in this era.

It is regarded as a showdown of who has the most offensive firepower.
