The 76ers were once one of the most eye-catching teams in the NBA in the past few years, because their team has Iverson, who has the most gorgeous dribble breakthrough, and this fighter on the court shoulders the entire team.

Iverson's trade to the Nuggets last season was a sensation, no less than the Celtics formed the Big Three this season. With Iverson's departure, many people's eyes followed.

Now the head of the team is small forward Andre Iguodala, inside, center Samuel Dimbert, power forward is Reggie Evans who is only [-] meters tall; The guard is Andre Miller, and the scorer is Willie Green.

Such a lineup is unlikely to cause too much trouble to the Celtics in any case, although their strength is not bad.

But after the game started, Rivers kept frowning. After nearly 8 minutes in the first quarter, the Celtics trailed by 19 points at 28:9.

If the Celtics' score of 19 is not enough to explain anything, then letting the 76ers score 28 points before the end of the quarter means that there is indeed a problem with the Celtics, and the problem is that Rivers The most important aspect of defense this season.

This season, the Celtics' defensive strength has risen sharply after the introduction of the inside defensive giant Garnett and the defensive assistant Tom Thibodeau, ranking first in the league in defensive efficiency. This advantage is brought into play.

Yang Shuai didn't get a chance to play today. Rivers sent Tony Allen in order to restrain the 76ers backup guard Louis Williams who is very active on the court.

Asking Yang Shuai to defend Williams Rivers, who is only 1 meters tall, did not think it would achieve too good results, so he sent the shorter Tony Allen.

But today's 76ers feel a little crazy. The Celtics players feel that they are not facing the 76ers, but like the Golden State Warriors. Anyone who catches the ball can throw it into the basket.

At 23:32, the score after the first quarter declared the Celtics' failure in this quarter. At the beginning of the second quarter, Yang Shuai got the chance to play.However, the defense that handsome Yang relies on for his survival did not play much role. His opponent Iguodala continued to score during this period, and the scoring of other players could not be restrained either.

Andre Miller also seemed to be crazy. He only played for more than three minutes in the second quarter. He had sent 5 assists and scored 8 points himself. The young Rondo was completely suppressed by him.

After the second quarter, the Celtics still trailed by 50 points 58:8, but because of the offensive recovery, the point difference was not widened to double digits, which made the Celtics feel a little relieved.starter

The 76ers' lead in the first two quarters relied on high shooting percentage, so Rivers emphasized the importance of defense during the intermission. He was sure that as long as the opponent's shooting percentage was suppressed, the team would have a chance to win .

His emphasis was still effective. The 76ers' shooting percentage dropped in the third quarter, but what he didn't expect was that the Celtics' shooting percentage dropped even more. After three quarters, the Celtics scored 70 : 84 behind to reach 14 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Celtics improved, but facing the 76ers who were in a state, they finally failed to fill the big hole they dug in front. 96:102, the Celtics lost to the 76ers in the away game , It also turned their record into 15 wins and 2 losses.

Yang Shuai didn't have much playing time in this game, only 15 minutes, and scored 6 points and 2 rebounds, which was a drop compared to the previous games.

Rivers did not lose his temper when the team lost. Compared with the long regular season, a game has an impact, but it is far from that big, especially at the beginning of the season.He believes that his players can adjust quickly, after all, the core of the team is now experienced veterans.

Rivers' idea was not wrong. The Celtics team adjusted quickly. After returning to Boston for a day of rest, they faced the Raptors from afar at TD North Shore Garden.The Raptors led by Dragon King Bosh are facing the Green Army Corps who are going to fight after losing, and the result can be imagined.

90:112, the Celtics beat the Raptors at home, sweeping away the "slump" of the previous game.Yang Shuai played 23 minutes in this game, almost splitting the playing time with Pierce, and performed very well. He scored 11 points in double figures again, and also grabbed 5 rebounds, plus a block and a steal.

Then the Celtics rushed to Chicago non-stop, and they needed to challenge the Chicago Bulls back to back.

The Celtics won this game again. Their defense made the Bulls suffer. The final score was fixed at 91:79. The Bulls made only 35% of their field goals and a poor 18% of their three-pointers. .

Yang Shuai's playing time was slightly lower than the previous game, but still had 21 minutes. The main reason was that Tony Allen's performance in this game was not satisfactory. The data of 8 points and 2 rebounds showed that Yang Shuai was very stable.

Handsome Yang's offense is actually very average. If he were to switch to another team, his playing time and statistics would definitely not be as good as they are now, but it is different with the Celtics.

This season, the entire Celtics team pays most attention to one thing, which is defense. It just so happens that Yang Shuai's strongest point is defense, so he has always been guaranteed playing time.

In terms of offense, the Celtics have too much defensive firepower with the Big Three. In addition, the tradition of this team is selflessness. Yang Shuai, who has an open shot and guaranteed playing time, will not have a chance It will be too little, and the data will not be too miserable.

From this point of view, Yang Shuai is still very lucky. There are very few teams in the NBA that are so suitable for him at this stage.

The team has won two consecutive victories, which is good news. Another good news for Yang Shuai is that his offensive awareness has improved to an intermediate level, and 25 days of uninterrupted training is equivalent to staying in the space for a long time. After nearly half a year, he finally successfully passed another level.

At the same time, he also triggered the task of the next level, rebounding!This means that most of his energy for the next month or so will be on improving his rebounding ability.

For Celtics fans, this season they are happy, the reason is very simple, the team is constantly winning.

The Kings, Bucks, and Raptors did not bother the Celtics. The Bostonians ushered in a 5-game winning streak and their record improved to 20 wins and 2 losses.

A Chinese derby with the Bucks should have attracted a lot of attention, but many Chinese fans did not pay attention to the Celtics at the beginning of the season. Yao Ming’s Rockets and Yi Jianlian’s Bucks attracted too much attention. Attention, which also makes many TV stations have no plans to broadcast the game.Few people watched this game, but compared with the previous Chinese derby between the Rockets and the Bucks, it was a lot worse.

The task of sniping the Celtics came to the Huosai team. As a frequent visitor to the Eastern Conference playoffs in recent years, although the Huosai team lost to the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year, it does not mean that they have no strength. .

When two defensive teams meet, the game is certainly not very good, but the process is quite intense.

After three quarters at 25:26, 48:47, and 66:64, the Celtics trailed by 2 points at home, and they encountered strong resistance at TD North Shore Garden.

In the critical fourth quarter, the two teams worked harder on the defensive end, and the score rose very slowly. Five seconds before the end, Ray Allen received a pass from Garnett and made a three-pointer. The two teams scored 5:80 , Detroit paused.

Rivers sent his strongest defensive lineup, and Yang Shuai was on the list. His task was to prevent the famous mid-range pitcher Richard Hamilton.

However, Yang Shuai failed to play to his strengths. Although his defensive players were running non-stop, the basketball eventually fell into the hands of another player, Chauncey Billups!

This low-key but absolutely superb superstar point guard received Prince's serve while running, then swayed Rondo's defense from mid-range, and made an emergency stop jumper.

When the ball pierced through the basket with a "swish", it was also announced that the Celtics ushered in their third defeat of the season. Although they were helpless, they had to admit that they were lore.

Losing is frustrating, especially after holding on for a whole game and being defeated within 5 seconds, but the Celtics young players still adjusted their mentality very well under the leadership of the old players, and then in the next two games Lectra beat the opponent in the game.

Against the Bulls at home, the Celtics did not give each other a chance at all, 82:107, they won another big score victory.Then they sat at home to meet a special opponent, the Magic.

The Celtics lost to the Magic in the first game of the season, which also made this game a focus battle in the eyes of Celtics fans.

In the locker room before the game, the Celtics showed their determination to win the game, and in the game, they did show this state.

"Kevin! Turned around and stuck Rashad (Lewis) behind him, beautiful, dunk with both hands!"

"Yes! Paul blocked Hedo Turkoglu, turned around and hit a jumper. The Turk may have thought that his height determined everything, but Paul told him with his actions that strength is the truth!"

"Beautiful block from Kevin...Garnett! Dear friends, welcome to the volleyball tournament."

"Ray... Allen! A 24-step shot through Yang, a shot from [-] feet, and a hollow hit! Rashad, see? This is a real three-pointer."

"Yang, the Chinese guy Yang caught up to Jameel (Nelson), Jameel layup, Yang blocked, beautiful, beautiful block, Yang put the ball directly on the backboard. Yang successfully defended the fast break."

"Yang, lob, yes! Pass from Kevin, another Chinese guy! Oh! He's listening to the home cheers, what a showman, but Bostonians love this great guy."

Throughout the game, the Boston Celtics' commentator Tom Heinsohn's shouts never stopped. In the end, the Celtics won by 11 points, and the rhythm was completely in their hands.

91:102, Boston won the game and avenged last month's revenge. This can be regarded as the best gift for fans before Christmas.

Christmas is coming soon!
