Chapter 87 Chapter 2

"Welcome everyone to watch the first round of the NBA playoffs in the 07-08 season. The Boston Celtics played against the Atlanta Hawks. I am Mike Breen. {\\ hand, play\Start}" Mike Breen, Jay Husband Van Gundy and Mark Jackson sat on the sidelines. In the playoffs, they did not sit in the live broadcast room as usual.

"From the perspective of strength, this is a group of disparate duels, but anything can happen on the basketball court..." The huge noise in the Garden Arena made Mike Breen have to raise his voice louder and louder, otherwise his I can't even hear what I'm talking about. Although there are headsets, it can't completely block the fanatical shouts of Celtic fans.

"The Celtics must win!" "We are the best team in the league, Celtics!" After the special players played, no, even when they didn't play, the cheers continued.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of the two teams stood near the middle circle, and the Celtics continued their regular season lineup.Hawks here, the center is this year's rookie Al - Horford, power forward Marvin - Williams, small forward Josh - Smith, shooting guard Joe - Johnson, point guard Mike - Bibby.

The Eagles' lineup is full of talent, and the addition of veteran Mike Bibby made up for their lack of experience. Although they only ranked eighth in the regular season, their strength is not as weak as imagined. In this regard, Rivers Repeatedly emphasized before the game.

Horford got the ball for the Hawks on a jump ball, and Bibby dribbled the ball to Joe Johnson after half court, and the latter began to attack the inside after getting the ball.

The Celtics rely most on defense this season, especially defense against breakthroughs. No matter what player you are, if you dare to rush inside the Celtics, double-teaming is commonplace.In the playoffs, Rivers even emphasized the importance of defense. No one in the Celtics dared to slack off. After Johnson rushed to the free throw line, he was immediately double-teamed by Ray Allen and Garnett.

Johnson didn't seem to expect that the Celtics' double-teaming was so determined in the first quarter. He dribbled the ball and made a mistake. He stumbled and barely sent the ball to Marvin Williams, but his passing speed was too slow. Garnett was back in time for Williams' shot, the ball hit the board, and Perkins got it back.

The Celtics also chose to break through. The one who broke through was Rondo, but he didn't break too deep. He almost just passed the ball to the free throw line.Pierce received the pass and faced Josh Smith, who was half a step away from him, "Shua!" The ball went in hollow.

It was Johnson again, he tried his own shot in the middle distance after getting the ball, and the ball also missed.Johnson was soft, and Garnett was not soft. He singled Marvin Williams after getting the ball in the middle distance and easily succeeded in a jumper.

"The Celtics made sufficient preparations. They gave the young Eagles a blow and told these young lads that this is the playoffs." Looking at the situation on the field, Mike Breen couldn't help but sigh.

2:13, this is the score of the two teams after 3 and a half minutes of the opening. The Eagles have already called a timeout, but it did not prevent the widening of the point difference.

"Xiyun, you guys are going on vacation soon, when are you going back?" The Celtics were completely dominant in the scene, and Yang Shuai chatted with Chu Xiyun even more easily.

Chu Xiyun shook her head and said, "How can it be so fast, there is still a month left, and you hate me so much? If you don't want to see me, tell me earlier, if you knew I would not come."

Of course Yang Shuai could hear the meaning of the joke in Chu Xiyun's words, he laughed and said, "I don't dare to hate you, it's too late to like you, I didn't want to ask you when you will go back and see if we can be together."

"Hey, Yang, Xiyun, I don't understand why you guys started speaking Chinese again." Zhu Li said dissatisfiedly.

While watching the game, Yang Shuai was chatting with Chu Xiyun, the time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, most of the first quarter had been played, and Yang Shuai finally heard Rivers' voice, "Yang, play! "

"Young is on the court. Is he going to play against Josh Smith? Oh, no, he replaced Ray Allen. Yang has indeed won the trust of Doug, and he is also a normal rotation in the playoffs."

Yang Shuai glanced at the score. At 21:10, the Celtics still had an 11-point advantage. He couldn't help but shook his head at Joe Johnson beside him and said, "Eagle? You didn't bring your wings today. This feeling is amazing. It really stinks."

Joe Johnson glared at Yang Shuai fiercely. He who was depressed at first was ridiculed by Yang Shuai for a while, and of course he couldn't feel better.Once again he opened his hand to ask for the ball, and he took the ball at the three-point line to single-handedly hit Yang Shuai.

"Great, come on, buddy, I appreciate your courage." Yang Shuai laughed happily when he saw Johnson preparing to attack by himself, and fixed his eyes on Johnson, as if he wanted to see through him completely.

It is good to have courage, but courage alone is not enough. Yang Shuai quickly told Johnson this with his actions. Yang Shuai is not an ordinary rookie. Although Yang Shuai's defensive ability cannot be said to be in the top five among the league's perimeter defensive players, there is no problem at all in the top ten.

Johnson tried to start suddenly to find a breakthrough space, but his intention was seen through by Yang Shuai, which made him bump into Yang Shuai. Unlike the beginning of the season, Yang Shuai's strength at this time is already advanced.In the past, Yang Shuai may be pushed back half a step, and then Johnson will find a chance.But now, Yang Shuai remained motionless.

"Damn it, this rookie's strength is so strong. I didn't realize it before." Johnson muttered, straightened his waist slightly, changed forward to retreat, quickly broke away from the body contact with Yang Shuai, and then took off to shoot.

"Are you trying to avoid me? No way!" Yang Shuai yelled, leaping high and touching the ball in Xiang Johnson's hand.

Johnson was affected, the ball bounced off the rim, Garnett took the rebound and handed it to Rondo.

Yang Shuai kept running in halftime, driving the Eagles' defense. This is what Rivers wants to see. Whenever Ray Allen leaves the field, Yang Shuai will always take over this task, and he has completed it well. .

This time, Yang Shuai did not create opportunities for his teammates, but for himself. After crossing the three-point line and receiving a pass from Rondo, Yang Shuai realized that Johnson was still half a step away from him, enough for him to make a shot.

Taking off, facing Johnson's defense, Yang Shuai threw the ball decisively. For the first time in the playoffs, he chose a three-pointer.

"Yes! A three-pointer! Yang, he doesn't look like a player who participated in the playoffs for the first time. An effective defense and a beautiful three-pointer, the point difference widened to 14 points."

With a 14-point difference, Rivers simply took advantage of the timeout to replace Garnett and Ray Allen, the two main players.At the end of the first quarter, at 20:30, the Celtics still had a 10-point advantage. Yang Shuai made two shots in this quarter and only hit one, scoring 3 points.

However, in the second quarter, handsome guy Yang found a chance to play. In order to chase points, the Eagles did not let their main players rest in the second quarter, but played deadlocked with the Celtics' substitute. This trick really worked , the Eagles scored 6 points in a row, and the point difference was reduced to only 4 points.

As the most important member of the bench, Yang Dashuai felt that he should stand up at this time, and he began to actively move around to create opportunities for himself.

Johnson is still facing him. After being reminded by the coach, Johnson pays attention to Yang Shuai's outside line.But this time, Handsome Yang didn't choose to shoot from the outside.Going outside the three-point line and pretending to catch the ball, Yang Shuai successfully tricked Johnson, and then suddenly cut to the basket with a staggered step.

The experienced Cassel noticed Yang Shuai's running and immediately handed the ball to Yang Shuai.

After taking the ball, Yang Shuai found an Eagles player running in front of him, and he didn't care who it was. With a big stride, the man rose into the air and flew towards the basket without hesitation.

"Yang, Al, this is a duel between two super rookies!" Mike Breen's voice announced the identity of the Eagles player, Al Horford.

"Yang, fuck him to death!" "Shut him, buckle that guy to death!"

Yang Shuai also found that the opponent was Horford, but he did not give up his plan to attack. His body was slightly on one side in the air, and Yang Shuai changed from a frontal dunk to a sideways flying dunk.Yang Shuai's left body bumped into Horford's body, and he rushed towards Horford with a huge momentum. At this time, Yang Shuai's advantage of turning sideways was manifested. The power gathered in one place made Horford completely unable to resist.

"Go away!" Amidst Yang Shuai's roar, Horford stepped back obediently, "Bang!" Yang Shuai gently dunked the ball into the basket, and the collision in front of him gathered strength, and at this time he slammed the ball lightly. The buckle formed a great contrast and made the Garden Arena full of joy.

"Good job, Yang!" "Eagle? Can you beat the flying silver killer?" "The silver killer is invincible!"

Yang Shuai's dunk 21 not only stabilized the situation, but also completely ignited the Celtics' passion. The rest of the second quarter turned into a unilateral massacre by the Celtics.

"Kevin Garnett made a mid-range shot!"

"Ray Allen, run and catch, [-]-pointer, hit in the air."

"Yang, in the same position as Lei, three-pointer, hit again."

"Paul Pierce, turnaround jumper, goal!"

"Kevin made a three-pointer? Oh, almost, Young, grab the offensive rebound, yes, make it up!"

At the end of the first half, the Celtics led by 58:38 and reached 20 points. Looking at the low morale of the Eagles as they walked towards the player tunnel, everyone understood that the game was basically over.

The Eagles once organized a counterattack in the second half, but they were quickly blocked by the Celtics. Until the end of the game, the Eagles did not find a chance to comeback.

87:110, the Eagles lost the first game at the Garden Arena by 23 points. The big score of the two teams was rewritten to 1:0, and the Celtics took the lead.
