NBA villain

Chapter 712 Defensive Battle II

Only those who have really experienced the finals can understand how competitive the finals are.

Every ball has to be fought for, and every ball can't wait to go up and fight with the opponent.

NBA players are inherently superhuman in physical fitness. In such a game, the confrontation will be even more amazing. It is very difficult to score every point.

James, who experienced the finals for the first time, also obviously felt the difference.

His shooting feel is not good. If the shooting feel is better, the game can be played better. If the feel is not good, the Warriors will shrink the defense unscrupulously, and there is Yang Di who is watching him, ready to help defend and send hot pot at any time.

The game entered the most intense third quarter.

"give me!"

Yang Di took the initiative to ask for the ball, which was completely different from the pick-and-roll in the first half.

Fisher pulled the ball out, and then lobbed the ball to Yang Di. Yang Di, with his back on the card owner Drew Gooden, easily grabbed the basketball with one hand, and then his shoulders shook slightly, and he made another shot Fake turn back.

Drew Gooden was frightened. Although he made up his mind not to take Yang Di's fake shot, it was impossible for Yang Di to pass him easily. If Yang Di rushed inside, Big Z and him It is impossible to defend the ball at all.

"I'm going to shoot!" Yang Di murmured, turned around, and faced Drew Gooden face-to-face.

Gooden kept silent, he didn't want to talk trash at all, and defending Yang Di in the finals was the biggest challenge of his career so far.

Seeing that Gu Deng was not fooled, Yang Di felt very boring, so he took a tentative step to the right with his right foot.

Then he retracted his right foot, stepped to the left like lightning, and dribbled the ball with his left hand. When dribbling, the leg of his right foot just bent over, and at the same time he stretched out his hand to block.

Where did Gooden have time to take out the ball, he moved laterally in a panic to defend Yang Di.

Yang Di stepped out with his left foot in the second step. At this time, Gu Deng was half out of position. Big Z saw that something was wrong and immediately came to defend Yang Di.

The two were clamped, and Yang Di raised his arm to shoot, causing a foul by the big Z who was helping to defend.

Yang Di shook his head and high-fived his teammates one by one.

At this time, the Cavaliers players came together and had a brief meeting.

Yang Di saw that James took off the braces, Barabara didn't know what to say, the big Z next to him, Gooden and other players nodded frequently, probably understood his guidance.

"Guide Zhan."

Yang Di suddenly thought of this word, and grinned haha.

The camera of ESPN swept over and just saw Yang Di's mysterious smile, which immediately aroused great doubts among the fans watching the game. What is Yang Di laughing at?
At the free throw line, Yang Di took over the basketball from the referee.

Tapped the floor twice, then took aim, and softly flicked the ball away.

"Shh!"

Hit the first ball.

Yang Di took two steps forward, high-fived Tyson Chandler and Danny Granger, and stretched his hands back. Ray Allen and Fisher also reached out to high-five him.

He took the basketball and made a solid second free throw.

Offensive and defensive transitions, the Cavaliers attacked in the frontcourt.

James yelled at his teammates to come out for the pick-and-roll and moved to the top of the arc. The big Z stepped on the three-point line to make a pick-and-roll for James. There was a lot of room for the pick-and-roll. James started directly, facing Tyson Chandler, and broke through. .

It turned out to be not too different from the offensive action Yang Di chose just now, but Yang Di attacked by himself, and James used the pick-and-roll.

Yang Di immediately came over vigilantly to help defend James, and James gave it to Gooden.

Yang Di's footsteps were too fast. He was obviously preparing to help defend James. When he saw James pass the ball, he immediately ran back and threw himself in front of Gooden again. Gooden was so frightened that he shot a three-pointer. Nonstick.

However, James cut to the basket at this time, just received Gooden's three-point shot, and directly made a simple quick layup and hit the ball.

"It's all right."

There was a burst of booing from the fans at the scene. James scored too much, and luck accounted for 80.00%.

The Warriors attacked, and Fisher wanted to pass the ball in, but was judged by Larry Hughes, and he directly intercepted the ball. Larry Hughes immediately counterattacked and hit the frontcourt.

The frontcourt faced Fisher for a layup, but missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Ray Allen who arrived later.

Ray Allen passed the ball across the half court, and Yang Di received the ball from outside the three-point line.

The dribble changed direction and broke through. Drew Gooden couldn't guard Yang Di, and he staggered and almost fell directly. Fortunately, James returned to defend at this time and double-teamed Yang Di with Gooden. James can dance very well.

Yang Di distributed the ball vigilantly, and Ray Allen who rushed over received the ball and shot a jumper from outside the three-point line.

"clang!"

He still couldn't make a shot, and the fans immediately felt that Ray Allen's shooting was very strong today, especially from outside the three-point line. They saw him take many shots, but none of them hit.

Yang Di was stuck by the two, and the rebound didn't fly here, and he didn't grab the rebound.

Larry Hughes passed to James, who raised his arm aloft to signal a slow pace, then pressed down to reorganize the offense.

The two sides played defensive basketball, essentially because of the decline in touch brought about by the super-strong confrontational defense, and the sound of iron strikes resounded throughout the Oracle Arena.

Yang Di continued to dig in, but Drew Gooden did not foul, but Big Z, in the process of assisting Yang Di, received his fourth foul, and the Cavaliers replaced Varejao. Also a quality interior player.

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, Ray Allen hit a 3-pointer to help the Warriors expand their lead.

Zhang Weiping said that a super shooter will always score. It is impossible not to score a three-pointer in the whole game, but as long as he scores, it is a fatal goal, the most critical goal.

The Cavaliers missed an outside shot, and James also missed a layup. Yang Di continued to make free throws. Near the end of the third quarter, he suddenly hit a 9-2 spurt.

"It didn't continue, this is it!"

Zhang Weiping said with regret that the Cavaliers had reached a stalemate.

Mike Brown keenly called a timeout, hoping that after this timeout, the status of the Cavaliers players will be adjusted.

But James still didn't have a good offensive opportunity, and he was deeply caught in the Warriors' defense of him, and he didn't have the superb state of the last four games against the Pistons.

The Warriors led the Cavaliers 71 to 64 entering the fourth quarter.

In this defensive battle, the Warriors seem to be gradually gaining an advantage. Mike Brown replaced James, hoping that he can slow down a little.

Gibson, who came off the bench, still performed very well, and continued to hit emergency stop jumpers to grab points for the Cavaliers.

Yang Di sat on the sidelines and observed the situation on the field, and Baron Davis handed him a glass of water.

"LeBron was the same as when I entered the finals for the first time. He was a little stiff at the beginning, and he always missed long shots. Later, he didn't even have the confidence to break through, let alone draw fouls."

Yang Di shrugged. He didn't really agree with Baron Davis' point of view. He thought that James would rebound sooner or later. If he was simply blocked, it would not be his style.
