Chapter 146: Ordered in Danger
If you let people work, you have to give them a little benefit first.
Azu, who has successfully eaten cakes, is full of vitality.
When the Trail Blazers were attacking, Azu pestered Roy and didn't let him catch the ball.
In this way, Zhou Yang freed his hands and began to wrap Aldridge.
At this time, Aldridge did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
He stuck his position near the paint area again, received a pass from his teammate, and was ready to continue bullying Andris.
Just when Aldridge leaned back twice, and then suddenly collected the ball, and was about to turn over and jump shot, Zhou Yang suddenly killed, snap!
Just cut the ball off.
This is a stunt in [Death Coil], not only to grasp the timing well, but also to require greater strength.
You know, this is a big center!
The moment they grabbed the ball with both hands, the ball was pinched out of the pit.
It's too hard to get the ball in their hands.
But Zhou Yang's instantaneous explosiveness is even more sufficient!
Aldridge felt a shock in his palm and the ball dropped.
He hurriedly turned his head to look and found that Zhou Yang had already cut the ball off and launched a counterattack.
Roy then understood why Zhou Yang was guarding himself, and it turned out that he was going to trap Aldridge.
So he immediately retreated, wanting to defend himself and avenge Aldridge.
As Zhou Yang was moving forward at high speed, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Roy and chased after him.
He didn't panic either, slowing down a little bit to let Roy catch up with him.
Inside the three-point line, Zhou Yang began to collect the ball and prepared to make a three-step basket.
His teammates were anxious for Zhou Yang, and shouted behind him: "Roy is behind you......"
But Zhou Yang was still unhurried as if he hadn't heard it.
Roy was secretly happy, knowing that this was a great opportunity to teach Zhou Yang a lesson, so he adjusted his pace according to Zhou Yang's rhythm, and was ready to give him a fatal blow when Zhou Yang made a layup!
But what he didn't expect was that Zhou Yang was using his left hand to make a layup.
Roy didn't think much about it, and with a wave of his long arm, he smashed it towards the basketball.
At the moment when his hand was about to touch the basketball, Zhou Yang suddenly changed hands in the air, operating to the limit!
Zhou Yang actually changed the ball from his left hand to his right hand, and then hit the board high, boom!
Two points in hand!
Almost at the same time, Roy's right hand hit Zhou Yang's left hand firmly, and even half of his body hit Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang flew out of the air and crashed straight into the basketball hoop.
Fortunately, the NBA basketball racks have been protected and very soft, and after Zhou Yang hit it, it bounced back and was not injured.
Honk!
The referee's whistle blows, pointing to Roy, 2+1!
Roy knew that he had been fooled, and looked at Zhou Yang with his hands on his hips, with a wry smile on his face.
Although he didn't speak, his expression said it all.
Served!
Zhou Yang walked to the free throw line and hit the free throw steadily.
With Zhou Yang's efforts, Aldridge was restricted, and at the same time, there were more opportunities for counterattacks on the offensive end.
The run-and-gun tactics are once again reappearing.
With Zhou Yang's assistance, Aldridge's offense got into trouble and made several mistakes.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors had another 15-point lead.
In the end, the Warriors didn't give the Trail Blazers another chance and saved the win.
Zhou Yang scored 37 points today, and Roy scored 28.
Zhou Yang not only suppressed Roy in terms of scores, but the number of steals was even more terrifying, with 6 steals.
With a win over the Trail Blazers, the Warriors are back in sixth place in the West.
There are two games left in the regular season, and for the Warriors, just one win can lock up the playoffs.
Of course, it also depends on the results of other teams.
In their next game, the Warriors take on the Kings in the West.
The Kings have been rotten for many years, and there is no hope for the playoffs this season, so they should not be desperate and may rotate the main players.
But Nelson Sr. was not careless and still made sufficient pre-match preparations.
Sure enough, Evans and Kevin Martin, the main core of the Kings, are all suspended.
The Warriors are all in full play.
The Kings' benches were not bad, playing well and feeling good in the first half of the first quarter.
But after Zhou Yang exerted his strength, the Kings began to collapse.
At the end of the first quarter, the Kings trailed by 12 points.
By halftime, the Warriors were already leading by 23 points.
But the Kings don't care, they know they can't win, and that's the sadness of a bad team.
There is no uncomfortable feeling for a player to lose.
At the end of the game, the Warriors led by 28 points.
The win in this game left the Warriors and the fifth-placed Jazz equal.
But in the regular season matchup, the Warriors led 2:1, so the Warriors ranked fifth.
The next game will be less important for the Warriors.
But it has to be won because the playoffs are about to start and the Warriors need to be confident.
The last game is at home against the Suns in the West.
Currently, the Suns are in third place in the West, 1.5 more games than the fourth-place Nuggets, and even if they lose to the Warriors, it will not affect the ranking.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the Suns will take turns resting the main force.
Two days later, Golden State Oracle Arena.
The Warriors take on the Suns.
Before the game, the old Nelson had already learned that the Suns were playing with a full main lineup!
What does it mean?
It shows that the Suns also want to beat the Warriors through this game and lay a good foundation for the playoffs!
Moreover, the Suns and the Warriors are also a bit hateful, after all, both are representative teams of run-and-gun tactics, one 1.0 and the other 2.0.
The Warriors' starting lineup is Zhou Yang, Curry, Andries, Margetty and Jackson.
The Suns' starting five are Nash, Stoudemire, Grant Hill, Lopez, and Richardson.
Although it was a game that didn't matter to the rankings of either side, from the coaching staff to the players, they all looked serious, as if they were going to play the finals.
Zhou Yang and Curry don't need to mobilize at all, both are working hard for the playoffs, vowing to beat the Suns.
Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Lopez grabbed the first wave of possession for the Suns.
Nash advanced with the ball and passed halftime.
Curry stepped forward to guard Nash.
In terms of strength, Curry is stronger than Nash, but Nash doesn't play with Curry at all and immediately calls for a pick-and-roll.
Stoudemire raised the high post to block Curry, and Nash immediately rushed towards the restricted area.
Unbeknownst to him, Jackson was very quick to stick to Nash and prevent him from passing.
Nash is so smart that he keeps his eyes on his teammates, but he also has a strong individual offensive ability, especially when he plays small and big.
Scold!
Nash changed the tempo, shook Jackson half out of the way, and made a low-handed layup for two points.
Jackson is so much taller than Nash and has long hands, but he just can't keep up with Nash's layups.
After the goal, Nash and Stoudemire high-fived each other!
Nash is the soul of the Suns' run-and-gun tactics, and his offensive ability this time is not weaker than any guard in the league.
