Chapter 794 New Army Challenge II

"The Hornets players looked a little nervous."

When TNT was broadcasting, Charles Barkley was sitting in the center of the arena. As a live broadcast, he still maintained his usual teasing style, and said with a smile: "These players are still too young. If he shakes, Yang Di may get a quadruple-double in the next game."

"David West is also considered an old player. He entered the league in 03 and has been a very high-quality insider. However, this is not the first time he has participated in the playoffs. Many people may have misunderstood it." Ken Ni-Smith interpreted the game from another angle while holding the data.

"Isn't it the first time? I thought it was the first time, haha." Barkley laughed embarrassingly, his voice was loud, and his signature style made people laugh.

"During the 03-04 season, when Byron was still in the Hornets, David West followed the Hornets to challenge the Heat. At that time, the current star of the Warriors, Yang Di, was still a substitute for the Heat."

"When I said that, I really remembered. At that time, the Hornets hadn't moved yet. Yang Di was injured in this playoffs. In the end, the Heat traded him to the Lakers, and the Warriors took Yang Di from the Lakers. Traded to Oakland."

Obviously it was only a few years ago, but it seems to be a long time ago. Although the two like to joke around, talking about these origins immediately brought back the memories of many old fans, back to the past few years. In the summer, that turbulent and restless event happened silently in a corner where no one paid attention.

On the field, the Hornets looked weak and Paul hadn't played yet, but his teammates had already made a second mistake.

Yi Jianlian held the ball behind his back and passed it to Peterson, but Peterson didn't catch it firmly. The basketball rolled in his hand and was snatched by Ray Allen.

Just at the beginning of the game, the ball was stolen by the Warriors' two players who were the worst at stealing. The Hornets fans could only cover their faces and sigh in amazement.

The Warriors were relatively calm and too much, and Baron Davis dribbled through the half without haste.

Waiting for the flank teammate to move to the open position, and then pass the ball.

With the help of his teammates' pass and pick-and-roll, Ray Allen made a three-point jumper at a 45-degree position on the wing. Yang Di was right in front of him and blocked Peterson for him.

As soon as Ray Allen made a three-pointer, the first thing David West did was not to grab a rebound, but to turn around and block Yang Di.

The choice of this point is very correct. It seems that the head coach of the Hornets has indeed made some arrangements before the game.

Yang Di looked to the sidelines, just as Byron Scott turned his head, a flash of consideration flashed in his eyes.

Yi Jianlian also focused on blocking positions, but it was Chris Paul, a point guard, who finally protected the rebound. Paul scored the rebound and advanced.

The Hornets fell behind 0-2. Paul held the ball with his right hand and stretched out his left hand to direct his teammates.

Then Yi Jianlian stepped up to the line to pick and roll with Paul. It was as if Paul was stuck to the basketball. The basketball and others sought to be one. Byron had no possibility of stealing the ball.

But it was blocked after all, and Chandler switched to Paul.

Yi Jianlian turned around on the spot and ran directly to the basket. Chris Paul actually attracted two people to double-team while dribbling the ball. shake.

The basketball flashed a yellow light and passed to Yi Jianlian after hitting the ground. Yi Jianlian didn't look at the basket at this time, and he was about to dunk the ball in one step.

"careful!"

David West yelled, and Yi Jianlian felt his eyes go dark.

A black shadow suddenly appeared, raised one hand high, spread five fingers, and pressed a big hand with the same skin color as his on the exposed surface of the basketball.

"boom!"

The two confronted in the air, and a strong force came from all directions.

He lost control of the basketball in his hand and flew straight to the side.

Danny Granger reacted quickly with his long hands. He reached out and caught the ball, sent the ball one step, and then followed up to launch a fast break.

Before Yi Jianlian could react, Yang Di flew over and capped him off.

Danny Granger was also careless, the delivery had just left his hand, and Chris Paul somehow appeared on his way forward, with quick eyes and quick hands, he still broke the ball.

Paul made a crotch and crossed a point to Peja who was open.

Danny Granger knew he was out of position, and looking back, Peja had already made an open three-point shot from the outside.

"Shh!"

Hit, the Hornets 3 to 2 the Warriors.

It turned out to be a three-pointer, and the two rounds of wrong entry and wrong exit made the Warriors fans themselves stunned, not knowing whether to cheer or not.

Peja and Paul high five.

Among the Hornets, Peja may have the most experience in the playoffs.

Peja was one of the representatives of the golden generation in 96. This super marksman from Croatia was the number one scorer in the Kings before. His outstanding shooting skills were considered comparable to Larry Bird at the time. At that time, he averaged 24.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. He made 43.3 percent of his three-pointers and 48 percent of his field goals.

Peja has been on the battlefield for a long time and fought against the Warriors. He has no waves in his heart and is the least disturbed Hornets player.

The Warriors attacked and Baron Davis handed the ball to Yang Di.

Yang Di is in the low post and plays David West with his back. David West is considered a good power forward, but he is still several grades behind Yang Di.

It is the gap between S+ level and A level.

Yang Di controlled the ball steadily with his right hand, stepped on the ground with his toes, and slammed into it with his back.

In the playoffs, he burst out from the start.

"boom!"

David West's arms were numb from Yang Di's bump, and his whole body felt Yang Di's terrifying power, and he moved back uncontrollably.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Yang Dilian bumped several times, like a demonstration, and knocked David West out of the three-second zone.

David West was sweating on his head, thinking that this guy Yi Jianlian really has no eyesight, so he still sticks to Byron Scott's non-teaming strategy?
Yang Di turned around with his back, drew a circle with his right foot, raised the basketball with his left hand and gave a light hook.

The basketball was thrown a distance high and fell firmly into the basket. David West couldn't even jump.

The audience applauded thunderously.

After scoring the goal, Yang Di turned around and retreated to defend. The ball was entirely his own ability. If David West came to defend him, he would not feel too much pressure.

Barkley said with a smile: "During the regular season, Yang Di reduced his individual singles, but in the playoffs, he will definitely strengthen his individual singles."

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "The Hornets are not going to double-team, which is also a bold and innovative defensive method in recent years."
