158 Push Tower
The main points of the notes that Yang Yiming carefully extracted from the video really played a role in the next three games. Not a small role. If you also consider the level of his opponent, then this effect is even more remarkable.
Three Towers:
Deandre Jordan; Anthony Davis; Carl Anthony Downs.
1/
Note 1: "Deandre Jordan's agility is the worst attribute of his excellent physical attributes, and a sufficient change of direction can limit his athletic talents. His slower turn can be exploited just as well. ”
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
To say that he understands Jordan's weaknesses best, in addition to Yang Yiming, who has just read the "cheats", even the wisdom of Chris-3, his partner in Los Angeles for many years, is that on the one hand, he knows how to make full use of the advantages of his teammates, and has sent countless comfortable "cakes" to the former in the empty city, on the other hand, when the two are their own masters and cannot meet each other, he can infinitely magnify the latter's defects.
This coincides with Yang Yiming's plan!
Paul and Yang Yiming were on the court at the same time, one inside and one outside; Jordan Jr. dominates the paint area. Yang Yiming blocked Paul at the beginning, and at the beginning, Little Jordan also knew that he was slow to retreat and turn around, so he had no intention of coming out to help defend at all, just defending the penalty area. Paul and Yang Yiming were unceremonious, bullying Rivers Jr. in one dozen and two on the line, and they were so unhappy. After Paul hit a series of shots, Jordan Jr. finally couldn't hold it anymore, and was forced to move all the way from the restricted area to the three-point line, and was forced to defend against blocking and dismantling, this change hit Paul's arms!
Little Jordan followed behind Yang Yiming, Yang Yiming was in the position for Paul, and a block and dislocation became Yang Yiming against Rivers Jr., and Paul against Jordan Jr.! CP3 continuously dribbles in disguise, fake sudden and real shots, and a step-back step close to the ground. Little Jordan had been shaken to the ground, and it was too late to see the block, so he had to turn around and go back to the restricted area to protect the rebound, but he didn't expect the rebound to be slow. Paul's shot was a little shorter, but Yang Yiming went down in time and borrowed Jordan Jr. to pick up the offensive rebound before he turned around, and the Rockets got 24 seconds to reorganize the offense!
suffered a loss, and the second time it was the same double block, Jordan Jr. and Rivers Jr. learned to be much more obedient. As soon as Paul wiped past Yang Yiming, Rivers Jr. dragged and grabbed between Paul and Jordan Jr., stunned to prevent the two from forming a counterpoint.
If you can't block and dismantle once, you can do it a second time!
Rivers Jr. and Jordan Jr. lined up in a straight line, this is Yang Yiming revealed the vacancy, Paul passed the ball to him, he raised the ball above his head, and watched Paul swoop around him, the purpose was nothing else, that is, to attract Little Jordan over! Finally, Rivers Jr. didn't keep up, Paul took over the hand-over pass, and rushed to Jordan Jr. in one step!
It's a small fight and a big one!
At that time, Yang Yiming was next to little Jordan, and he could see that he was full of despair even on his droopy dreadlocks. was wondering if Paul was going to abuse him with fancy dribbling again, but Paul didn't dribble the ball, and directly pulled out the back and shot the basket. Jordan Jr. blocked and interfered, and Paul's shot was shortened again, just as Yang Yiming grabbed it again.
This time, I hit the basket directly!

Note 2: "As a student-turned-interior defender, Anthony Davis is not lacking in positional sense, but as the Pelicans' current center after Cousins' injury, his position may still be too far away..."
Out-of-town? With the experience of dealing with Jordan Jr., who likes to shrink on the inside, it is not easy to deal with Davis, who likes to float outside?
Yang Yiming saw the opportunity for the "Card Emperor" Capela to play at the same time as himself, so that Capela played the No. 5 position and faced the thick eyebrows; He took on the No. 4 position against Nikola Mirotic. also added God to help Yang Yiming, this veteran Emeka Okafor only played 11 minutes, otherwise he would be in the center of the No. 5 position, he would have forced Yang Yiming to face Davis directly, and the situation would be much more complicated...
Fortunately, there are no such concerns for the time being!
Harden held the ball, Capela met him, and "outside center" Anthony Davis naturally followed closely. Harden broke through after blocking and dismantling substitutions, and threw a basketball high to Capela to stage a regular "cake-eating" operation. Davis jumped up and forced his fingertips to interfere with the basketball, and although Capela still caught the basketball with super strong air and barely completed the dunk, the ball did not obediently enter the basket as before.
Yang Yiming, who was waiting for the opportunity on the side, grabbed the rebound ball, faked a real pass, this time the arc was high enough, and the "Card Emperor" finally succeeded in eating cakes for the second time!
The younger brother opened, and Harden also wanted the thick eyebrows brother to try his skills. After blocking and dismantling, Harden did not change his face in the face of Davis, with his crotch, shaking, retreating, and leaning back in one go. The shooting power and direction were good, only the luck was a little worse, and the ball rolled out a few times on the hoop. Yang Yiming, who had judged the landing point early, grabbed the ball before Mirotic jumped and lightly scored the ball! This ball also caused Mirotic to foul the beater, he fouled four times before the end of the two quarters, and left the game early, Yang Yiming added a free throw!
Without the 2.08-meter-tall Rotich, the Pelicans replaced the 193-centimeter-tall Ryan Wan-Moore to rely on a big four lineup to get through the first half. But how could Harden let go of this maximum height difference, and saw the opportunity to drop the ball directly to Yang Yiming. Moore, who was 15 centimeters shorter, was defenseless, Yang Yiming half-turned around and hooked his hand, and the shot was a little smaller and didn't tighten, the ball smashed the basket and rebounded back, Yang Yiming just picked melons above Moore's head, grabbed the rebound and hit the board and threw the ball again.

Note 3: "Carl Downs' biggest weakness is his bounce speed. Give enough interference and disrupt his rhythm, and it is possible to win in chaos and pull out teeth! ”
This note is actually the most difficult for Yang Yiming to understand, after all, the bullet speed is not like other physical fitness items, such as height and weight, touch height speed, all have a more intuitive expression. The speed of the bullet is more like the metaphysical legend of basketball lovers, and it is often mentioned, but no one has been able to put forward a clear standard. Who has a higher bullet rate between Charles Barkley and Drexler "The Glider"? What about LeBron James and Kevin Durant? Often, the people involved in such discussions are in a state of arguing, and in the end no one is necessarily able to convince anyone. Before he actually saw Downs' bounce speed, Yang Yiming could only understand it as "the ability to perform continuous bounces".
However, once the competition started, Yang Yiming quickly understood the meaning of "cheats": not only continuous jumping, but also a combination of acceleration and ultimate speed of each jump. Clint Capela and Carl Downs are not dominant in terms of height and arm length, and the final absolute height is slightly inferior, but the two compete for rebounds, and if Towns can't control the basketball at the first drop all at once, Capela is very likely to land first with faster speed, and immediately rely on explosiveness to make a second jump, and then take the lead.
That's the difference in bullet speed!
This is definitely a disadvantage that Yang Yiming can take advantage of!
It was his turn to play strongly with Towns, and Trevor Arizard shot a three-pointer from the corner, but the trajectory was not right, and he smashed into the rim and continued to roll forward. Yang Yiming was closer to the basket, but the rebound of the three-point shot was also very high, which had exceeded the height he could grab, and once the ball flew over his palm, Downs behind him could definitely take it away steadily!
When it was too late, Yang Yiming's record of bullet speed flashed in his mind, and he simply gave up the direct scramble and jumped back to Downs. The basketball originally happened to fall in the palm of Tang Si's hand, but because of Yang Yiming's interference, his hand was twisted in his arm, and in the chaos, no one caught the basketball, and after hitting the hands of the two people in a row, it looked like it was about to be smashed out of bounds. At this time, Yang Yiming's relative speed advantage came into play, he landed on the ground and adjusted in small steps, immediately flew out diagonally, hugged the basketball in the air and looked back at the moon, and saw Paul beckoning outside the three-point line in the distance, and threw it hard!
Others flew to the camera reporter on the baseline, but the ball landed firmly in Paul's arms!
Look at Downs dumbfounded!
Yang Yiming's offensive rebound added another shot!
