NBA villain

Chapter 760

In addition to defense, the Celtics are also at the forefront of the league in terms of rebounding. During the nine-game winning streak, the number of defensive rebounds ranked first in the league.

Of course, defensive rebounding and good defense actually go hand in hand.

Pau Gasol and Ben Wallace are both good players who can grab cards and rebound, and even the entire team has made great progress in this regard.

All in all, this is a brand-new Celtics team with strong overall strength and excellent chemical reaction when they come up.

After the Celtics quickly adjusted their status, they continued to compete with the Warriors in the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors and the Celtics happened to be tied at 65, which was evenly divided.

During the break, Yang Di sat off the court, and Grant Hill sat behind Yang Di.

Grant Hill is 35 years old. He was a young chasing young man who was once magnificent, and now he has become a veteran who is about to retire. When he was in the Magic a few years ago, Grant Hill suffered from serious injuries. Play and stop, there is no more than 70 games, and most of them only play [-] or [-] games.

Grant Hill became a free agent during the offseason, and the Warriors dispatched Chris Mullin to persuade him to come to the Warriors. As a result, he didn't play a game, and he had a sore knee, so he entered the daily observation list.

Grant Hill insisted on going out with the team, and insisted on resuming training every day, waiting for the opportunity to play.

"Mr. Grant, why do you think the Celtics have suddenly become so good? Their overall defense is simply suffocating."

Yang Di complained to Grant Hill about the Celtics' defense, which is the strongest defense he has ever seen in the past few years.

"Yes, fortunately, I feel pretty good today, otherwise, after a game, whether I can score 80 points or not is a big problem." Grant Hill nodded and said.

Yang Di said: "I heard that the Lakers are also very good. This offseason, the two giants have all risen. I really don't know what changes have happened to the Lakers. I'm afraid they will not be weaker than the Celtics."

"The Celtics have strong players at every position, and Pau Gasol is definitely underrated," Grant Hill said.

Yang Di agrees with this point. Pau Gasol scored 19 points and 9 rebounds without saying a word, and went to the double-double data of 20+10, which was very stable.Yang Di played 25% of his skills today, but he only scored 11 points and [-] rebounds so far. This is because Yang Di occupies a lot more possessions than Pau Gasol.

"There are still several away games to come. I am so tired playing against the Celtics, and the following games will not be easy." Yang Di is also worried about the state of his teammates. Ray Allen, as a shooter, is also a match. In the iron game, Baron Davis has not yet returned to his [-]% state, and he is obviously playing on the field. The Warriors are really full of firepower, and only Yang Di is alone.

"You still have to maintain a little physical strength and give it to the young people to fight more." Grant Hill and Yang Di said, he felt a little strange after speaking, and looked at Yang Di with inexplicable eyes.

Yang Di didn't see Grant Hill's eyes, and nodded in agreement on his own: "That's right, in the regular season, it's fine to play casually. What I'm thinking about now is always the championship. This year is to achieve In the most critical year for the dynasty to win the championship, the playoffs are the stage for 120% performance.”

Grant Hill thought that Yang Di was actually only 23 years old, but before he knew it, he was already a veteran player who had played in the league for 5 seasons. No one regarded him as a young man. His height, Compared with the stars, there are only those who are famous in history.

On the field, Monta Ellis led the bench to play against the Celtics.

The Celtics' bench gangsters are also very strong. In addition to talented rookie Jeff Green, there are also Eddie House, Tony Allen, James Posey and other players, which are only stronger than the Warriors.

With the home court bonus, the Celtics even had an advantage, leading the Warriors 74 to 70. The Warriors replaced Yang Di, and Yang Di took the lead in the game.

The Celtics did not make any changes. Rivers took a look at Ben on the bench. Ben had already fouled 4 times, and he was going to let him play in the last 5 minutes.

Yang Di succeeded in personal offense and helped the Warriors quickly equalize the score. Then the Celtics replaced Paul Pierce and Paul Gasol at the same time to form a "double Paul" lineup.

The two stabilized the situation, Pierce's outside attack was almost unstoppable, and the two sides formed a tug of war.

In less than the last minute, Yang Di scored a key two-pointer to help the Warriors draw with the Celtics 1-87.

Rivers arranged Paul Pierce's tactic of throwing key shots, which was seen through by the Warriors. Ray Allen made a contribution on the defensive end at a critical moment and destroyed the Celtics' pass. The Celtics lost a great opportunity.

Fortunately, the Warriors also failed to succeed in the offense. Baron Davis missed a layup at the last moment, and the two sides entered overtime.

Montgomery secretly complained that the Warriors were completely out of strength. Danny Granger, Tyson Chandler and other players were replaced by Ariza, Biedrins and other newcomers, but the three cores were not good. Replacement, playing time will definitely exceed 40 minutes.

In the second back-to-back battle, such a huge consumption, the key has already reached this point, it is definitely impossible to just give up like this, riding a tiger is hard to get off.

In overtime, the Warriors scored first, and Yang Di, who had already scored 34 points, scored another 2 points.

Not to be outdone by the Celtics, Paul Gasol hit Biedrins with his back, turned around and scored with a hook, and also caused a foul by Biedrins who jumped early.

Pau Gasol yelled and clenched his fists to lift his spirits.

The first few years of his career were really aggrieved. In the Grizzlies, he was able to bring the Grizzlies into the playoffs almost every year, but he was always swept in the playoffs. Obviously, the team The gap between his strength and his opponent is too big, but the outside world always says that he is too soft to lead the team forward.

After the Grizzlies got a rookie with talent and potential, they decided to rebuild, and Paul Gasol came to the North Shore Garden.

In this new team with iron blood, he seems to have been reborn. He can fully demonstrate his basketball skills and make a name for himself.

Yang Di raised his head and shook his head. Amidst the noisy cheering, he really felt a little tired.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Di turned around and asked for the ball. Ben Wallace fouled five times, and Pau Gasol, who had fouled four times, was defending Yang Di.

Yang Di arched his body, picked up the ball and flicked it, hit Pau Gasol and turned directly for a jumper.

This is his simplest and more efficient way of scoring. Gasol was knocked away by Yang Di, the defense was not timely, and Yang Di still made a shot near the baseline.

91 to 90, the Warriors lead by 1 point.
