Chapter 550 There is No Way Out

"It's over, the whole game is over, the Warriors won the final victory, 2:2, the two teams returned to the same starting line..."

The Celtics adopted foul tactics at the last moment, but they were unsuccessful. The final victory belonged to the Warriors. At the end of the game, all the Warriors breathed a long sigh of relief. 2:2 and 1:3 are completely different things. In the playoffs, although 1:3 is not as scary as falling behind 0:3, the probability of reversal is less than 5.00%, and it has never been in the finals. Reversed precedent.

But now, Warriors fans don't have to worry about having such ideological burdens anymore. The 2:2 tie brought the two teams back to the same starting line. In the next 3 games, the Warriors still have two home games and still have an advantage.

"The best player of the game was given on the big screen. There is no doubt that this honor belongs to Yang Shuai!"

Perhaps the Celtics fans have left the screen, but the Warriors fans have not. They have noticed Yang Shuai's performance, but the data also attracts many people's attention.

At the end of the third quarter, Yang Shuai had scored 26 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds. After entering the fourth quarter, Yang Shuai's data continued to approach the gorgeous.

In the final quarter, Yang Shuai scored 23 of the Warriors' 12 points. At the end of the game, Yang Shuai scored 38 points, 11 assists, 9 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals.

More and more people are aware of the horror of Yang Shuai. Faced with a strong team, Yang Shuai has handed in perfect answers time and time again. In this game, he once again sent a quasi-triple-double data .

In this game, Yang Shuai's ball possession time was actually far less than the previous game, but he still sent 11 assists. Old Nelson's tactics are indeed a big reason, and Yang Shuai's good state is even more important. is the key.

After this game, many media once again felt sorry for the Celtics, especially those media reporters who favored the Celtics. Yang Shuai's performance in this game deeply hurt them and made them Once again, I was imagining how terrifying this veteran team would be if Yang Shuai stayed in the Celtics.Although knowing that this idea is unrealistic, people still can't help but fantasize.

There are not many similar reports in the local media in Boston. They don't want to shake the morale of the army at such a critical moment. At this time, it is obviously not in line with the interests of the Celtics to admit that Yang Shuai's strong play.

Because of the failure, there were fewer local reports about this game in Boston, and many newspapers began to look forward to the arrival of the next game.

There are still three games, the fifth game is at the Celtics' home court, and the sixth and seventh games are at the Warriors' home court. This undoubtedly reminds everyone that if the Celtics want to win this round , they can't afford to lose in the fifth battle.

Words like Celtic’s home court, Battle of Tianwangshan, and match point can be seen everywhere in Boston’s local websites and newspapers, because local media people also know that Celtics are more hopeful only if they win five games It is too challenging to achieve the final victory and win the Warriors two away games in a row.

"This battle, we are bound to win!" On the second day after the end of the fourth game, such a short sentence appeared on Pierce's Twitter, and this was the first time Pierce said such full words during the finals, One can imagine how much the Celtics care about this battle.

As the president of the league, David Stern was in a good mood after the official start of the finals. Because of Yang Shuai's performance in the Lakers, and because of the relationship between Yang Shuai and the Celtics, the ratings of the first game of the finals It is very impressive.

And then because of the stalemate of the game and Yang Shuai's performance, the ratings increased steadily, which made Stern smile.Looking at the current situation, the possibility of the two teams reaching the seventh game is very high, which is exactly what Stern likes to see. Every extra game will undoubtedly bring considerable income to the entire league.

If Yang Shuai can lead the Warriors to win the championship, Stern would naturally be more happy to see it.Yang Shuai this season can be said to be in full swing. He has already won too many awards in the regular season, but now he lacks one of the most important honors.Once Yang Shuai leads the team to defeat the Celtics and win the finals mvp, he will undoubtedly surpass Kobe and James to become the spokesperson of the league.

By then, Yang Shuai's popularity will be beyond imagination.A star with outstanding skills who can complete all kinds of beautiful offenses and play gorgeous statistics, and at the same time lead the team to a good record and win the championship, such a person is destined to become a national idol.Stern dreamed that such a person would appear, but now, Yang Shuai is approaching such a goal.

Handsome Yang didn't care about how much expectation he was carrying from David Stern. He only knew that he was carrying the expectations of all Warriors fans, so he needed to do his best to play the fifth game, the battle of Tianwangshan.

The fifth game, this is a battle that determines the match point, and neither team wants to let it go, especially the Celtics, who are even more eager to win.

Celtics fans came to the Oracle Arena early, this is the last game of the Celtics in this arena this season, regardless of whether the Celtics can win the championship, at least they will not play again this season Back to the arena for the game, the Celtics fans who bought the tickets were also very excited

After the start of the game, the Celtics fans quickly became excited because they found a very favorable situation for the Celtics, and Yang Shuai didn't feel good.

In the previous four games, regardless of whether the Warriors lost or won, Yang Shuai's performance was commendable.Before the start of the fifth game, how to defend Yang Shuai also became the most discussed topic among Celtics fans.

After the start of this battle, the Celtics really had a tighter defense against Yang Shuai. From the time Yang Shuai hadn’t caught the ball, the Celtics kept a close watch on them, even when Yang Shuai ran without the ball. double team.And when Yang Shuai got the ball, the Celtics used various methods to prevent Yang Shuai from scoring.

Multiple teams, fouls, fouls...

The Celtics use different methods to disrupt Yang Shuai's offensive rhythm. It is completely impossible for Yang Shuai to rush to the inside, and the Celtics usually commit fouls in advance, and they don't even give Yang Shuai the chance to make free throws. handsome.

Yang Shuai is the core of the entire Warriors. When he encounters difficulties on the offensive end, the Warriors' offensive operations naturally have some problems.

In the first quarter, the Warriors trailed 21:25. In this quarter, Yang Shuai only scored 2 points and had no assists.

After entering the second quarter, the Warriors made some changes on the offensive end. The two veterans, Jackson and Wallace, stepped forward to help the Warriors solve their offensive problems, but Yang Shuai's situation was still not good.In this quarter, Yang Shuai only scored 4 points and 2 assists.

After halftime, Yang Shuai only had 6 points and 2 assists. This has to lament the Celtics' defensive success in this game, and the Warriors only scored 43 points after halftime. It is indeed the Celtics' tough defense. portrayal.

43:49, with a 6-point difference, the Warriors started the second half of the game.Yang Shuai, who didn't play much in the first half, increased his shots after the start of the game. He couldn't get inside, so Yang Shuai chose to shoot more in the middle and long distances.I don't know if it was affected by the Celtics' defense, or the downturn in the first half affected Yang Shuai's touch. In the third quarter, Yang Shuai's touch was still cold, and he only scored 4 points in a single quarter again.

Fortunately, Jamison ushered in an explosion in this quarter. He hit three three-pointers in a single quarter and made two free throws, helping the Warriors chase the point difference to only 3 points after three quarters, 69:72.

Old Nelson let Yang Shuai rest for four and a half minutes in the fourth quarter before sending him back on the court. After returning to the court, his condition seemed to be much better. After playing for 1 minute, he scored 4 points in a row.

Seeing that Yang Shuai seemed to be showing signs of recovery, the Celtics defended Yang Shuai more closely and did a better job of cutting off passing routes.

Three minutes before the end, Yang Shuai completed his only dunk by stealing Pierce's fast break, and then made another foul and made two free throws to get 3 points, but at this time, the Warriors were still 2 points behind.Entering the last minute of the game, Yang Shuai hit the first three-pointer of the day, but it did not change the team's backward situation.

At 93:99, the point difference was finally fixed at 6 points. The Warriors lost the battle of Tianwangshan and fell into a disadvantage again.In the whole game, Yang Shuai only scored 21 points, his shooting percentage just reached 40.00%, and he only had 5 assists. It was the most sluggish game since entering the playoffs.

Yang Shuai's downturn and the Warriors' loss quickly attracted widespread attention. In fact, the ratings of this game were higher than those of the fourth game. Naturally, everyone saw Yang Shuai's performance.

2:3 behind, the Warriors fans still firmly believe that the Warriors can win the final victory and win the championship, because they believe that Yang Shuai's downturn will not continue. At the same time, the last two games are at the Warriors' home court.

The two home games brought a lot of comfort and confidence to the side that supported the Warriors, but it is undeniable that after losing the Tianwangshan battle, the Warriors have no way out. If they still want to win the championship, they have only one choice, to win The last two games.
