Chapter 106 The Nasty Long Hand

The Celtics are full of ambitions, but the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals was not smooth. As the first round, the two teams were very well prepared and arranged a tight defense against the opponent's offense, so the game was very dull. Its observability is not as good as the first game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers in the last round.first text}

None of the two teams scored 20 points. With the last-minute performances of Hamilton and Billups, the Pistons won the game.

77:75, the Celtics lost their first home game, which was beyond the expectations of many Celtics fans, and also beyond the expectations of all Celtics players.

In the training session on the second day, the training intensity arranged by Rivers was not high. After all, he had entered the playoffs. Must pay attention.Arranging high-intensity training at this time is very likely to cause players to be injured during training, or to make players lack physical fitness during the game.

But after the training, all the Celtics players stayed for additional training, some practiced shooting, some practiced free throws, and some practiced strength. Everyone hopes that they can have a better state in the next game. Rivers had to repeatedly remind players to pay attention to rest.

The loss in the first game put some pressure on the Celtics players. This is the reason why they will stay for extra training after training, and Yang Shuai is certainly one of them.

Yang Shuai also practiced shooting. His performance in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals was mediocre. He only scored 7 points and 4 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%. This is completely different from his efficient performance in the last round.Of course, a very important part of the reason is that the Pistons did a good job defensively, but Yang Shuai's poor hand feeling is also an important reason.

Yang Shuai felt that he seemed to be a little slack when he didn't match up with James again. This aroused Yang Shuai's vigilance. He is a guy who loves to compete in things. He is paranoid if he puts it better, and loves to be stubborn if he puts it badly.This personality has affected his performance both on and off the court. Whenever he steps on the court, Yang Shuai always asks himself to go all out, but after the transition from the Cavaliers to the Pistons, he still has a short-term slack.

However, after the first game, Handsome Yang felt that he had recovered both mentally and physically. For example, he was very satisfied with the results of today's extra training.

When both the three-pointer and the mid-range shot have reached the advanced level, Yang Shuai's shooting level is only stronger than most outside players in the league, but there is a gap with those shooters, so handsome Yang began to have confidence in his shooting ability.Of course, all this refers to shooting after receiving a pass from a teammate. Handsome Yang's shooting ability with the ball is still very average.

A day later, the second game of the Eastern Conference finals came as scheduled, and the venue was still the Garden Arena, the home of the Boston Celtics. Of course, what Celtics fans wanted to see was the opposite result from the previous game.

"Welcome to the 07-08 NBA playoffs Eastern Conference Finals match between the Boston Celtics and the Detroit Pistons. My name is Mike Breen."

After Mike Breen, Mark Jackson, and Jeff Van Gundy introduced themselves, they introduced the starting players of the two teams. The starting players of the two teams are very stable. The Celtics are still Kendrick- A combination of Perkins, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Rajon Rondo.

For the Pistons, Antonio McDyess at center, Rasheed Wallace at power forward, Tayshaun Prince at small forward, Richard Hamilton at shooting guard, and Chauncey Billups at point guard .

The starters of the two teams did not change from the previous game, nor did the result of the jump ball. Perkins put the ball into Rondo's hands.

"Attack! Attack!" The game has just started, but the Celtic fans seem to be impatient. The loss in the last game not only stimulated the Celtic players, but also the home fans.

"Kevin... Garnett!" 20 seconds later, the DJ in the Garden Arena shouted Garnett's name loudly. Amid the cheers of the home fans, Garnett scored a beautiful goal at the beginning of the game.

Taking the ball from the baseline, Garnett caught Rasheed Wallace and made a pass, then suddenly turned around and broke through the baseline, throwing Rasheed Wallace half a step away and dunking with both hands.

"No doubt, this is a conversation between the teams, Rasheed comes, turns, the best straight arm shot! Oh, did Kevin block? No touch, ball missed, rebound, Paul -Pierce won, Rasheed's shot was interfered by Kevin."

As Mike Breen said, this is a dialogue between the teams.Compared with Celtic's first two opponents, the Pistons are undoubtedly stronger in integrity. The Pistons are the representative of the combination of stars and team basketball. Their main players have good personal strength, and they fully integrate this personal strength. To the team, so they are more difficult than the Hawks and Cavaliers.

From the first second to the 6 minutes of the game, the situation on the field has been stalemate. The defensive skills of the two teams have done very well. No team can play continuous offense, because the score has been rising alternately. .

The Celtics' offense was handed over to Pierce. Pierce's shot after a breakthrough was interfered by Prince, and the ball bounced out of the basket, but Pierce squeezed Prince away to get the rebound by himself. foul.

After Pierce hit the first free throw, the score came to 10:11. The Celtics led by 1 point. At this time, the scoring table showed a substitution. The Celtics replaced Perkins with Yang Shuai.

Pierce also hit the second free throw, 10:12, the Celtics led by 2 points, Yang Shuai approached Prince at this time, and Pierce switched to McDyess.

Billups is holding the ball outside the three-point line, and Hamilton and Ray Allen are running non-stop. Perhaps it is because they are used to running. Ray Allen can follow Hamilton's running position Very tight, Hamilton came to the left of the free throw line to receive a pass from Billups and wanted to shoot immediately, but Ray Allen's timely appearance made him give up this plan.

With a feint, Hamilton slapped the ball on the ground, leaning on Ray Allen and was about to rush to the inside, Ray Allen pressed close, Hamilton immediately took a step back, and took off to shoot.

Ray Allen also stuck to Hamilton and jumped up. As soon as Hamilton saw that the timing of his shot was not good, he began to look for his teammates in the air.

Prince took a step sideways to meet Hamilton, and Hamilton, who saw his teammate in the air, quickly threw the ball over.

Watching the time, Yang Shuai quickly leaped forward and reached out towards the flying racket.Prince's reaction was very quick, he squeezed sideways beside Yang Shuai, stretching out his long arms towards the flying ball.

"Damn it!" Seeing that he was able to shoot the ball, but it was finally caught by Prince, the handsome guy Yang swears. It is not the first time he has been physically bullied in the league. This time, he Lost to Prince's wingspan.

Although Prince's long hands make him a little strange, his super long arms are still very useful on the court. After getting the ball, Prince will dribble and rush to the inside. This time, Yang The handsome guy disagreed.

"Pow!" Unceremoniously exerting his body, Yang Shuai pushed Prince half a step away, and then got stuck in front of the opponent again.

Prince, who was hit by the impact, wanted to take the ball back, but he only received half of the ball and was blocked by a hand. Yang Shuai took advantage of Prince's long arm to take the ball back for a longer time, and he made a decisive shot. on the ball.

"Crack!" The ball fell uncontrollably. This time, the handsome Yang who had been prepared for a long time took the ball first.

"Good job!"

"Rajon, catch the ball!" Handsome Yang still didn't take the ball to attack himself after getting the ball, but threw the ball into Rondo's hands. Rondo wanted to push forward quickly after getting the ball, but Billups was not ordinary The point guard made two contact with Rondo without a trace, and Billups slowed down Rondo's speed, and the other players of the Pistons have also returned to the defense.

"Dude, if you put your hands on your feet, maybe you can catch up with me." After leaving these words, Yang Shuai started running fast, crossing the bottom line and breaking the line. Yang Shuai found himself very helpless. He didn't shake off the shadows around him.

When Rondo saw that Yang Shuai couldn't get rid of Prince, he also passed the ball to Garnett, and Yang Shuai stayed outside the three-point line in the bottom corner.

Garnett played singles with the ball, but he also observed the position of his teammates with his eyes. He noticed a flash of a figure in the corner of his eye, and Garnett passed the ball behind him without hesitation.This is a tactic the Celtics are all too familiar with. Garnett plays singles with the ball in the middle distance, and outside players slip to the bottom line and cut to the basket.

It was Yang Shuai who cut inside. After standing still in the bottom corner, he did not give up his plan to attack. Thinking that Prince's attention might be distracted by Garnett at this time, handsome Yang immediately started to run.

Yang Shuai did indeed leave Prince behind. After getting the ball, Yang Shuai didn't hesitate at all, holding the ball with both hands and dunking towards the basket.

"Yang is about to dunk, be careful, Tai Xiaan jumped on it..."

Yang Shuai sensed that there was a person behind him, but he didn't take it seriously. If he chose to change his holding the ball from two hands to one hand at this time, he would be able to get Prince out of the way with a slight turn of the angle, but the confident Yang The handsome guy didn't do this, he still held the ball with both hands and dunked towards the basket.

Seeing that the ball was about to be dunked into the basket, handsome Yang suddenly felt a force acting on the basketball, forcing the basketball to fall.

Surprised in his heart, Yang Shuai started to use his hands, hoping to hold the ball tighter, but it was obviously too late.

"Bang!" The ball was disturbed by a sudden and unexpected force and hit the front of the basket, and it was no longer under Yang Shuai's control and bounced to the other side.

"Covered?" The handsome guy Yang raised his brows in response, turned around quickly after landing, then looked at Prince's long arms and murmured with his eyes puffed up: "What a pair of annoying people!" long hands."
