Chapter 711 Defensive Battle One
On the outside of the Oracle Arena, there are Warriors fans from the local area.

The Warriors have a strong fan base in Oakland, and it's almost like a holiday when the finals are approaching. You can see Warriors fans wearing white, black or blue jerseys in the streets and alleys.

There are even some Warriors fans wearing retro blue and yellow jerseys, which are the jerseys of the Chris Mullin era in the last century.Earlier, in the Chamberlain era, the blue background of the jerseys was a little deeper, and the jerseys were more refined, especially the shorts. The shorts in that era were very short, which did not conform to the current aesthetics, and many people passed them on. .

There were many vendors selling drinks and hot food on the side of the road. Outside the Oracle Arena, many fans without tickets gathered. Although they could not enter the infield, they still cheered for the home team outside.

The Warriors' flag fluttered outside the arena, and with the wind blowing, the air was hunting.

From time to time, the Oracle Arena erupted into cheers in unison. The sound was so penetrating that it went straight into the sky, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic in the gorgeous lights of the city.

"The Cavaliers played really good defense today."

The ball bar was full of fans who came to watch the game. The owner of the bar is also a Warriors fan. On this day, he launched an event at the right time. He entered the stadium with the Warriors jersey and got a [-]% discount on drinks.

"Yes, I really didn't expect the Cavaliers to have so many defenders. I feel that their perimeter is very tall."

"The key point is that our Warriors team's touch is very average today. I feel that many outside shots have not been made. If you don't make a three-pointer, you can't open the score."

"Barkley said that the jump-shooting team can't win the championship. Fortunately, we are not a jump-shooting team."

The fans talked a lot, talking about the situation on the field.

James chased Monta Ellis, and Yang Di caught James again. In the finals, they played a classic duel.

At halftime, the Warriors led the Cavaliers by only 47 points 45 to 2.

The Cavaliers seem to have taken them from a super defense with the Pistons to the Finals, and the Warriors have taken such a long break that their competitive status has declined a bit.

In the locker room, Montgomery loudly encouraged the morale of the players.

Montgomery said loudly: "We must strengthen our offense and keep our ball moving. We must attack the Cavaliers' penalty area and cause damage. This is our home field and we must play out our aggressiveness."

The three referees gathered together, and the video of the first half was played back. For some disputes, the three of them discussed again.

In fact, NBA referees do this every day, which helps them maintain the fairness of the second half of the call.

In the second half of the game, Oracle Arena was still packed.

Fans are not willing to go out to buy things or go to the bathroom during the intermission. The game on the field is too tense, and it may miss the wonderful picture if it is slightly staggered.

Yang Di bent down, leaned on his knees and looked forward, and the Cavaliers pushed forward with the ball.

His touch in the first half was not very good. He missed several mid-range shots, but he did a good job of killing in the penalty area. Relying on free throws, he scored in double figures.

James controlled the ball from the outside. After a period of consecutive scoring in the first quarter, James didn't score much in the first half. He scored 7 points in the entire first half. Compared with the performance of nearly 30 points per game this season, it is really Very different.

Big Z came out to pick and roll with James.

James used the screen to pull the ball horizontally, and Chandler immediately double-teamed James with Danny Granger.

James passed the ball very well, and he also did a good job of splitting the ball from a small angle. A quick hit to the ground was given to the big Z who was running down. The big Z was not lucky, and the middle distance position attracted Yang Di to double-team.

At this time, the Warriors shrunk their defense. After Chandler delayed James, he immediately turned around and ran to the basket.

Although Big Z is tall and big, he has a fine hand and a high basketball IQ. Seeing Yang Di coming to make up defense, the first thing he looked for was Gooden who should be vacant at this time.

But seeing Pavlovich, who was empty on the flank, immediately transferred the ball with a cross pass.

Pavlovich didn't catch the ball firmly, which gave Ray Allen a chance to re-defense. He made a hasty shot, and the basketball "clanged" and hit the iron.

Yang Di stuck the big Z to prevent him from going in, and Chandler jumped up to grab the rebound.

The Cavaliers retreated quickly, and the Warriors took their time. Fisher dribbled the ball and advanced halfway. Fisher called Yang Di to come out for a pick-and-roll, and Yang Di ran out.

Yang Di is different from many super insiders. He likes to pick and roll his teammates.

And many inside players who have mastered some low-post skills think about catching the ball in the low post all day long, and the offensive efficiency is not high.

Because sometimes, after the pick-and-roll is over, I may also get an open chance, which is much better than always digging hard inside, and may encounter double-teams at any time.

What Yang Di pursues is winning basketball, but if he can win with less effort, that would be the best.

It's a pity that Fisher's personal offensive ability is average. The Warriors still choose man-to-man. After Yang Di covered him, it actually didn't have much effect.

Fisher still gave the ball to Ray Allen who came out.

Ray Allen tried a three-pointer from the outside, but it still missed.

Gooden's position was stuck very well, and Yang Di was stuck outside the three-second zone and couldn't get inside.

But looking at the trajectory of the basketball hitting the frame, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and moved forward to the left.

The basketball hit the inside of the basket and bounced high to the left. Yang Di's original position was not very good. After the basketball bounced out, he found that he had found a good position. Among them, he was the first to touch the basketball with one hand.

Then he swung out and ran two more steps to take off this offensive rebound among the Cavaliers' players with super long names such as Pavlovich and Ilgauskas.

Yang Di was not in a hurry to attack, and threw it directly to Fisher who had already retreated to the center line.

"Pretty!"

There was thunderous applause at the scene. This is Yang Di's ability, keen rebounding sense, and super offensive rebounds. In the eyes of the fans, this is a positive performance.

If Yang Di's scoring ability is not too explosive, Yang Di's other aspects and playing methods are blue-collar, pick-and-roll, blocking, rebounding, and blocking shots. He does all the defensive things on the field. No wonder, this year In the best defensive player selection, he will be No.1.

Danny Granger did not waste Yang Di's active fight this time. After receiving a pass from Ray Allen, he made a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

The Warriors lead 50-45 by 5 points.

The fans cheered up. It seems that the Warriors are a little different at the beginning of the second half?
