Chapter [-] The key to winning, running

On Christmas night, Yang Shuai watched a game before sleeping with Chu Xiyun in his arms (the latest chapter with a smile and tears).

In the 2008 Christmas game, the eyes of most fans were on Los Angeles. The two teams in the finals of last season played against each other again at the Staples Arena.

Yang Shuai watched this game on the one hand because the game was indeed eye-catching, and on the other hand because the Warriors' opponent in the next game was the Celtics.

This game was played very fiercely, no less than last season's finals. In the end, the Lakers won this victory at home, which can be regarded as revenge for last season's finals.

83:92, the Celtics lost the victory at the Staples Center and ended their 20-game winning streak, but they did not have time to rest, because the next night, they will come to the Oracle Arena Fight against the warrior with Yang Shuai (the latest chapter of Shengru).

At 25:5 p.m. local time in Oakland, with the last [-] minutes before the start of the game, Yang Shuai chatted with Garnett, Pierce and other former teammates.

"Old guy, Paul, you played really badly yesterday. It seems that you still have some difficulty in defeating the Los Angeles Lakers without me." Yang Shuai said while staring at Garnett and Pierce with a smile.

Of course, Yang Shuai's words only got the eyes of the Celtics players, how could they not understand Yang Shuai's narcissism and arrogance.

No matter how they reacted, Yang Shuai said to himself: "Well, I originally planned to let me end your winning streak, but now it seems that there is no chance. But it doesn't matter, I will give you a very special one A gift, the first losing streak of the new season."

Garnett's eyes bulged, and then he said to Yang Shuai, "Boy, I find that I hate you more and more." Pierce, Ray Allen and others on the side also kept nodding.

Yang Shuai ignored it completely, he laughed and said: "Old guy, after the game, you will hate me even more."

The Celtics' starting lineup has been adjusted because their main center Kendrick Perkins was injured, and Garnett topped the center position.

The center is Kevin Garnett, power forward Leon Powe, small forward Paul Pierce, shooting guard Ray Allen, and point guard Rajon Rondo.

The Warriors still used their starting lineup from the previous few games, starting with Belinelli.Center Andris Biedrins, power forward Carl Landry, small forward Yang Shuai, shooting guard Marco Belinelli, point guard Kirk Hinrich.

Biedrins and Garnett jumped the ball, and the Warriors got the first offensive right. Hinrich dribbled the ball to the three-point line and suddenly started to rush to the inside. Rondo followed closely on the side. Two steps inside the point line suddenly stopped and jumped up, and he chose to shoot before Rondo was sealed. "Shua", the ball fell directly into the net (the latest chapter of Xiushenji).

"Kirk, stop jump shot, hit!" Jim Barnett shouted first, and then said with a smile: "Don Nelson's training of Kirk Hinrich seems to have achieved some results, Kirk Not only is the rhythm of possession faster, but even the offense is more elusive."

Indeed, Hinrich generally would not have such a shot before, and this kind of play without tactics is also very popular with players in the hands of the old Nelson.

Hinrich made an attack here, and Rondo responded quickly. He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Rondo passed the ball to Garnett who was stuck on the baseline. At that time, Rondo received a pass back from Garnett and made a shot from the inside of the three-point line.

After scoring a goal, Hinrich was no longer in a hurry to attack by himself. After quickly pushing to the frontcourt, he passed the ball towards Yang Shuai who was already actively running in the half court.

Receiving a pass from Hinrich in the rush, Yang Shuai ran back to avoid Pierce. Instead of continuing to dribble forward, he chose to shoot directly from the middle distance.

"Bang!" Yang Shuai's first attack failed to hit, the ball bounced out of the basket, and Powe grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Rondo dribbled the ball to half court and continued to hand the ball to Garnett. This time, no one took the initiative to defend, and Garnett began to single Biedrins.

Facing the basket and hitting the basket, Garnett was double-teamed after he came to the three-second zone, and Landry stepped forward to help defend.Originally, Landry stepped forward to interfere with Garnett's shooting. Unexpectedly, Garnett reacted quickly in the air and threw the ball to the open Leon Powe.

After receiving the ball, Powe made an easy mid-range shot, and the ball also fell into the basket steadily.

The Celtics played a very good offense at the beginning of the game, and their defense did the same. After 4 minutes of the first quarter, the score was 10:4. The Celtics established a 4-6 victory in just [-] minutes. point advantage.

Yang Shuai has taken two shots since the beginning of the game, but he has not made a single hit under Pierce's defense. Yang Shuai's running position is not only interfering with Pierce, but Ray Allen and Garnett are also taking turns to defend, interfering with other Warriors. The player easily sent the ball to Yang Shuai's hands (read the full text of the king of gossip).

The existence of Garnett made it impossible for the Warriors to play the pick-and-roll they have relied on recently, and Hinrich did not have much advantage against Rondo. Under such circumstances, the Warriors were almost completely suppressed by the Celtics in all games just now.

The Warriors did not do the same for the Celtics defensively. Although their defensive strength has improved slightly, the offensive touch of the Celtics players seems to be very good. The players each scored 10 points to complete, and after the ball was rotated, the Celtics players could always throw the ball into the basket.

Seeing that the team's offense couldn't start, Old Nelson had to call a timeout.

Old Nelson hoped to use a timeout to change the situation. After the timeout, the Warriors who returned to the field did play two rounds of good shots. Yang Shuai hit his first goal after the opening through a pick-and-roll with Landry. Landry He also succeeded in attacking the basket.

However, in these two attacks, the Warriors were forced to enter positional warfare, and the fast offense they are best at did not play out.As the Celtics strengthened their defense again, even positional warfare became difficult for the Warriors, and the Warriors on the defensive end did not find a way to limit the Celtics' more blooming situations.

30:18. After the first quarter, the Warriors only scored 18 points. This is indeed a bit abnormal for them, and it also reflects the strength of the Celtics on the other hand.

Judging from the process of the first quarter, the Warriors and the Celtics are not at the same level of team at all, and they are completely suppressed by their opponents.After one quarter, Yang Shuai only scored 4 points and 1 assist. Under the pressure of the Celtics, it was difficult for him to find opportunities to attack.

Pierce defended very tightly from the outside shooting, and once he entered the inside, Garnett would not care about the friendship between the two at all. Yang Shuai was slapped by Garnett for a layup at the end of the first quarter. To incite on the sidelines.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yang Shuai sat off the court to rest, and Hinrich and Landry led the substitutes on the court.For the Celtics, Paul Pierce and Leon Powe lead the game with substitute players.

The Warriors' substitute players did not perform miraculously. After a few minutes, the point difference did not close. Yang Shuai, who had only rested for 3 minutes, returned to the court again.

Pierce went down to rest at this time, and defending Yang Shuai was their newly signed former Clippers forward Corey Maggette this summer.

Maggette's physical fitness is good, but his defensive ability is not strong. Yang Shuai took the initiative to get the ball from cj-Watson and began to prepare for singles from outside the three-point line.

"Yang! Attack! Attack!" Yang Shuai's position in the hearts of Warriors fans is very different from that at the beginning of the season. In the order of appearances at home, because Jackson was not there, he became the last one to play. An affirmation of the status of the team.

With a slight sway of the ball, Yang Shuai immediately started and rushed to the left with a big stride. Maggette also moved quickly, but Yang Shuai's step was nothing more than a bluff. Seeing Maggette moving, he quickly changed direction and changed To break through to the right.

Maggette's reaction was a little slow, but Yang Shuai immediately seized the opportunity, and his body accelerated suddenly. Yang Shuai rushed past Maggette, and then went straight to the basket.

Looking at Garnett who had already returned to the basket, Yang Shuai didn't pause. He stepped heavily on the floor with his forefoot, and Yang Shuai flew into the air.Garnett, who came from the side, also jumped up, swung his long arm, and slapped the ball in Yang Shuai's hand.

Yang Shuai knew Garnett's strength very well. Because of this, he didn't dare to be careless and took back the exposed ball. Yang Shuai bent over and flew past Garnett, and waited until the ball was under the basket. Take it out again and hook it towards the backboard.

"Bang!" The ball bounced into the basket after hitting the backboard.

"Yang... handsome!"

"Yang, well done! We need this kind of offense!" Jim Barnett shouted, and the fans at the scene also cheered.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" "Silver Killer, well done!" "Attack, we want to attack!"

Yang Shuai's goal made the scene full of joy, and the Celtics also made adjustments at this time. Tony Allen, who has a more outstanding defensive ability, defended Yang Shuai, and with Garnett's help defense, the effect was still good. .

Throughout the second quarter, the Warriors' offense improved slightly compared to the first quarter, but they were still suppressed by the Celtics.The Celtics continued their blooming situation in this quarter, and the players on the field all scored. On the defensive end, Yang Shuai and Hinrich, the two Warriors' engines, were limited. Falling into a one-man fight, in such a situation, the possibility of the Warriors gaining the upper hand is very small.

At 24:22, the Celtics' offensive efficiency declined in the second quarter, but the Warriors still lost 2 points in a single quarter. After halftime, the score was 54:40, and the Warriors fell behind by 14 points.

Entering the locker room, looking at the slightly demoralized Warriors players, Old Nelson clapped his hands and shouted: "Cheer up, is the game over? Why are you all looking for you with your heads down?" Eggs? Look at the way you are now, so what if the opponent is the Celtics? What if the opponent is the champion? I don’t want to forget that the opponent is back to back, and they just experienced a hard fight in Los Angeles yesterday.”

Hearing old Nelson's words, Yang Shuai's eyes suddenly lit up. It's true that the Celtics just experienced a hard fight yesterday. It might not be obvious in the first half, but the opponent's physical strength will definitely affect them in the second half. The efficiency of both ends of the defense, in this way, the own team is not without opportunities in the second half. The key now is to drive the opponent up and consume the opponent's energy with a fast pace.

Sure enough, just as Yang Shuai thought of this, Old Nelson had already arranged: "Kirk, in the second half, speed up and speed up, we have to fully increase the offensive speed. Pass less, and shoot me when you get a chance, Yang, don't keep thinking Go to avoid the opponent's defense, don't Paul Pierce stand in front of you and you can't shoot? Carl, Andris, fight for offensive rebounds. Bring up the rhythm, I don't believe that you can't drag down the opponents guy."

Everyone nodded, but Yang Shuai thought to himself, "Old guy, don't blame me if you can't run anymore."
