Chapter 340 IX Low Score

The North Shore Garden Arena was crowded with people, and Yang Shuai saw the once familiar color again (the latest chapter of Jianyu).

"Yang, when he left Boston, no one could have imagined that Yang would become so good. The Warriors he led are now ranked first in the league! Although Yang is now the opponent that the Celtics will face, we Applause should still be given to him, this is an amazing guy!" When Yang Shuai was in the Celtics, Heinsohn had a good impression of him. Two years later, Yang Shuai is no longer in this city, but This favorable opinion of Heinsohn does not seem to have diminished yet.

"Boy, you are indeed amazing!" This time, Garnett couldn't help but praise Yang Shuai.

Nodding his head, Yang Shuai said stinkingly, "Old guy, I've always told you that."

Garnett rolled his eyes, clenched his fist and said, "Wait until we beat us."

The corner of Yang Shuai raised his lips. Last season, he had been longing to truly defeat the Celtics. At the Warriors' home court, facing the Celtics who had played back-to-back away games in a row, he won the victory, but that time Garnett was not convinced in the first game, and Yang Shuai has been looking for an opportunity to really head-to-head with the Celtics.

Thinking of last season's game, Yang Shuai realized that the current situation of the Warriors is so similar to the situation when the Celtics faced the Warriors last season.The day before the game between the Celtics and the Warriors, after the battle with the Lakers in Los Angeles, the physical exertion was too great, and he was dragged down by the Warriors' running and bombing in Oakland.

And yesterday, it was not easy for me and my teammates to fight against the Cavaliers in Cleveland for four quarters. Before that, the Warriors had also played several away games in a row (full text reading of Dream Basketball Country).

"I hope that the state of myself and my teammates will not be affected by these." Yang Shuai thought to himself, of course he knows that consecutive away games will cause weakness.

When Yang Shuai thought of this, Heinsohn happened to be talking about the situation of the Warriors to the Celtics in front of the screen: "Today will be the last game of the Warriors' five away games. They have played back-to-back once before, and Just yesterday, the Warriors and the Cavaliers had a big battle. They completed the reversal when they were 10 points behind, which consumed too much energy and stamina, maybe the team can seize this point."

Yang Shuai and Heinsohn understand this point, and of course Rivers also understands this point. Before the game, he has already arranged today's tactics, and it is precisely this point.

Jump ball, Chandler once again won the ball for the Warriors, his competitor is Kendrick - Perkins.

Compared with when Yang Shuai was with the Celtics, the starting lineup of the Celtics has not changed at all. The combination of the Big Three plus Perkins and Rondo is very stable.

The starting lineup of the Warriors has been changing in the past two years, but since the beginning of this season, their starting lineup has not changed. Center Chandler, power forward Wallace, small forward Yang Shuai, shooting guard Jackson, point guard Ball guard Hinrich.

Dribbling and rushing forward, Hinrich was strictly guarded by Rondo. In the past two seasons, Rondo has made great progress, especially in defense. Under the influence of the team's defensive atmosphere, the improvement is very obvious.

Hinrich's offense is not very strong, especially his ability to break through with the ball is not outstanding. Facing Rondo's defense, it is difficult for him to find a breakthrough space.

Hinrich did not intend to break through with the ball himself. After coming to the Warriors, especially after the start of this season, his role has been constantly changing, and his mission in the team has become more and more clear.Dribble across the half court, pay attention to Yang Shuai's running position and pass the ball in time, pick and roll with inside players from time to time, and shoot after receiving Yang Shuai's points. He understands his role, so he understands what should be put first .

After halftime, he immediately handed the ball to Yang Shuai who was running. He chose to hand over the team's first ball to Yang Shuai.

Immediately after receiving the ball, Yang Shuai rushed forward without any hesitation in his breakthrough, and he was facing the star of the Celtics, Paul Pierce.

Double team!For Yang Shuai's defense, the Celtics seem to attach great importance to it. Just at the beginning of the game, they double-teamed Yang Shuai.

Among all the teams, the Celtics rank high in the ability to double-team outside players, because they not only have an excellent outside defensive player, but also have one of the best inside defensive players, Kevin Garnett special.

Yang Shuai and Garnett have a good personal relationship, but they are people who want to go all out as soon as they are on the court. Let alone in the game, even in training, the two of them will not let water at all.

The mid-range dribble swayed slightly. Yang Shuai wanted to use fake moves to trick Garnett and break through, but he didn't succeed. He tightly blocked Yang Shuai's forward route. Garnett didn't accept this trick at all.

Being able to defend from position [-] to position [-] is not self-proclaimed by Garnett, but the recognition of Garnett's ability by the entire league.

"Pow!" Without directly shaking Garnett away, Yang Shuai's forward momentum stopped for a while, and a strong force soon invaded from his side, and Pierce had already posted it.

pass the ball!Yang Shuai passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace, and after receiving the ball, Tianzun roared and strode forward to attack the basket directly.

Garnett appeared beside Wallace. He rushed to the basket when Yang Shuai passed the ball. When Wallace came to the basket to take off, he just arrived.

"Pow!" Two power forwards with unique personalities collided in the air, and Wallace put the ball into the basket against Garnett.

"Rashid Wallace, this summer, the team regarded him as a signing target, but he finally chose the Warriors."

Unlike Yang Shuai in the Celtics, the offense of the Celtics has changed a lot. Rondo has taken on more and more organizational offensive tasks, while Garnett has focused more on On defense (the latest chapter of Sword Demon Heart).

After Rondo dribbled to half court, Garnett quickly put on the pick-and-roll, while Rondo dribbled the ball straight to the basket.

Rondo's speed is very fast, so fast that Wallace can't post it in time. Wallace's footsteps are indeed very different from before.Rondo rushed to the inside, and Chandler immediately stepped forward to block and split the ball. Rondo handed the ball to Perkins to assist his teammate to make a mid-range hit.

In the two rounds after the opening, the two teams played their best style of play. The Warriors are now more and more offensive through the hands of Yang Shuai, and Rondo is also the brain of the Celtics' offense.

Yang Shuai did a good job of breaking through and scoring the ball, but the Celtics also did a very good job of rotating defense. After 2 minutes of the game, Yang Shuai understood the Celtics' strategy for him today, double-teaming and desperate double team.

When he was in the Celtics, Yang Shuai did such a thing. Almost every night he and Garnett and others dealt with the opponent's main outside scorer.Unlike other teams' double-teams, the Celtics' rotation speed after the double-team is where they defend best.

Relying on Garnett's movement speed, after double-teaming the breakthrough player, the Celtics' defense against the receiver almost came as soon as the opponent received the ball.

"Young started to drive, double-teamed, did a good job, Young didn't have a chance to attack the ball, watch his pass, did a good job, Kendrick went to the outside and blocked Steph's shot."

The Warriors' offense was strictly guarded. More than half of the first quarter, the Warriors only scored 10 points. Although the Celtics only scored 11 points, the situation was not good for the Warriors.

Rhythm!The offense on the court completely fell into the rhythm of the Celtics. After most of the quarter, the Warriors did not play a successful fast break. Every attack they had had to fall into a positional battle, which was definitely the worst for the Warriors. willing to face.

Yang Shuai has tried two shots in the first quarter, maybe he was strictly guarded, or maybe he was a little tired from the continuous games. Compared with the previous game, Yang Shuai's state is much worse, at least in the past few minutes That's right, none of his two shots made a hit.

When Yang Shuai hoped to find his feeling through the breakthrough, he even encountered the above troubles. The breakthrough was double-teamed, and the distribution of the ball did not achieve the desired effect.

"No, I have to find the shooting touch as soon as possible, otherwise the game will become more and more unfavorable to me." Coming to the frontcourt, Yang Shuai began to run non-stop, hoping to find opportunities to attack through running positions.

At this time, both he and the old Nelson began to understand Rivers' main strategy today. The Celtics hoped to use the strongest defense at the beginning of the game to prevent the Warriors' high-efficiency offense, and then slow down the Warriors' rhythm a little bit. Slowly, until it is completely under the control of the Celtics.

The Warriors who play away games have played several away games. If the offense is repeatedly blocked, the Warriors will only feel more and more tired. Once this happens, they are not the Celtics at all when the game enters the final stage opponent.

Running, running non-stop, Yang Shuai finally got outside the three-point line, but he didn't shoot directly when he received the ball.His shooting feel is not good today, and a forced shot from outside the three-point line is not the best choice. He needs to find his feel in the position he is most familiar with and most sure of, and that is the mid-range.

Yang Shuai rushed to the inside of the three-point line immediately after catching the ball and cheated Pierce, and Pierce also reacted at this moment and quickly leaned sideways.

An emergency stop, Yang Shuai, who had just crossed the middle distance, made an emergency stop to take off, and shot the ball with a flick of his wrist. Among all the shooting methods in the middle distance, the emergency stop jump shot is the one Yang Shuai is most familiar with and also the most sure.

"Bang!" After Yang Shuai deliberately increased his shot strength, the ball directly hit the inside of the basket and bounced back into the basket.

"Watch Young, he looks like he's looking for a shot."

Yang Shuai is looking for shooting touch. The Celtics players are not clear about this, but they don't have a good way to limit it. Defense against shooting is no better than defense against breakthroughs. They can interfere as much as they can, but they don't Can't stop Yang Shuai's shots again and again (Jiangshan Misty Rain latest chapter).

At this time, the Celtics' defensive strategy changed accordingly.Yang Shuai's shooting will be strictly guarded by a Celtics player at any time, but other Warriors players have almost no chance to get a shot.

"The strength is still not right. Paul's defensive interference is so great." Watching the ball slam on the basket, Yang Shuai shook his head secretly in his heart.

The first quarter was almost over, and the Warriors still scored 18 points. Of these 18 points, 6 points came from Yang Shuai, but Yang Shuai's shooting percentage was not high.

"With only the last 12 seconds left in the first quarter, Yang attacked again with the ball, Paul, stick to him, don't let him find an opportunity to attack." Heinsohn shouted, and the first three shots were missed. , Yang Shuai has been recovering his shooting touch. What worries Heinsohn is that Yang Shuai seems to be gradually regaining his feeling. He has hit two of the next three shots.

Slowly dribbling the ball beyond the three-point line, Yang Shuai kept his eyes on the change of the timer. With 6 seconds left, Yang Shuai started to rush to the basket.

The quick first step allowed him to find an opportunity from Pierce's side, and then quickly rushed into the three-point line. Garnett on the inside was busy moving forward at this time, but Yang Shuai didn't give Garnett a chance. With the opportunity of double-teaming with Pierce, he rushed to the three-point line, and Yang Shuai took off half a step away from the free throw line.

Pierce jumped directly from the side, raised his hand to interfere with Yang Shuai's shot, and soon he found that his interference was limited, and Yang Shuai once again showed his shooting skills and leaned back!

"Yang's fadeaway shot, which is his usual scoring method this season..."

"Shua!" Before Heinsohn could finish his words, the ball flew into the basket and made a hollow hit.

At 20:23, looking at the score, Old Nelson frowned slightly. Such a low score is what the Celtics like to see, but it is definitely not what he wants to see.
