Chapter 575 Conventional Operations
After Byron was injured, Yang Di's ball possession rate increased significantly, and his scoring average also skyrocketed. From an average of about 24 and 25 points per game, he rose to an average of 29 points per game.

Ray Allen's scoring average has also risen. When he first came to the Warriors, he averaged 18 and 19 points per game. Now he averages 22.4 points per game, and his shooting percentage has also risen all the way. Now it reaches 48.1%. And it's amazing for players who mostly shoot to finish the offense.

The cooperation between the two is in a stage of rapid running-in and rapid mutual adaptation, and has achieved very good results.

The Warriors did not have the slump predicted by the experts or imagined by the fans. Instead, they won many games in a row and are still at the top of the league.

Relatively speaking, the Celtics have fewer stars and an incomplete lineup. There is an essential gap in strength between the two teams.

But the strange thing is that after the start of the game, the two sides did not show a clear reflection of their strength. The Celtics players had a good shooting percentage and hit some mid-range and long-range jumpers. After half a quarter, they led 16 to 15. The Warriors in the away game scored 1 point.

Chandler received a foul, went off to rest, and Biedrins came on as a substitute.

Biedrins is also very active in grabbing rebounds. He has set a clear goal for himself, which is to become a player like Yang Di, a first-year player who can grab rebounds, catch lobs, and help defend against blocks.

Yang Di singled Al Jefferson in the low post, held the ball in his right hand, turned around and walked towards the baseline, and the card owner turned around and shot a jumper.

Jefferson jumped up to interfere, but barely covered Yang Di's eyes.

Yang Di made the shot based on his feeling. He is now familiar with the baseline position.

"allow!"

Ray Allen gave Yang Di a thumbs up and high-fived Yang Di. He passed Yang Di's low ball just now, but he didn't know if it counted as an assist.

16 to 15, the Warriors lead by 1 points.

The Celtics attacked in the frontcourt. Telfair changed direction in front of Fisher, then dribbled the ball on the right side and advanced, and transferred it to the weak side to Pierce, who was around 45 degrees from the three-point line.

Pierce faced Danny Granger head-on, and took a tentative step to attack the ball.

Tried one step, two steps.

Danny Granger stepped back slightly to prevent Pierce's sudden start breakthrough.

But at this moment, Pierce suddenly stood up from the ground, held the ball high with both hands, and completed the entire shooting action in the air with his body, and the height of the jump was not very high.

Granger lunged forward, feeling like he just missed the basketball in Pierce's hands.

Pierce takes a shot against Granger's defense.

The three-pointer kept rolling in the air, with a very high arc.

While everyone was watching, he plunged into the net, made a clear sound of wiping the net, and with a "shua", the white net flowers rolled up.

"Pretty!"

Rivers clapped and yelled like he made the shot himself.

Pierce walked back indifferently, probably because of the cold weather, the players of the two teams on the court were not particularly interested, and the offensive rhythm of the game was not fast. This kind of rhythm is his favorite style.

The Warriors attack and Yang Di picks and rolls for Ray Allen.

Ray Allen caught the ball and pretended to shoot. Tony Allen didn't take the fake action, and followed Ray Allen closely, looking very focused.

On the wing position, Ray Allen pick-and-rolled with Yang Di again, and walked the bottom line in reverse. Yang Di cut empty-handed, attracting the Celtics to double-team, and there were a lot of Celtics on the strong side people.

Ray Allen wants to move to the weak side, but is worried that too long a pass will be intercepted by other Celtics players.

In addition, Tony Allen's defensive pressure was not strong at this time, so he immediately stopped the jumper, leaned forward, and threw the ball.

Also, 18 to 18, the two sides drew.

Pierce assisted Telfair and hit a layup. Yang Di turned around and missed a jumper, and then Pierce also missed the shot. Both sides did not score for a while.

Just when the audience was bored, the Celtics suddenly broke out.

First, Pierce made another three-pointer from the outside, and then Al Jefferson also hit a jumper. The Celtics scored 5 points in a row, leading the Warriors 23 to 18.

Yang Di hit the ground ball to the cut Danny Granger, and Granger made a layup that caused Jefferson to foul and went to the free throw line.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that the arena is so quiet today." Ron Adams turned his head and said to the head coach with a smile. The number of people was small, and the game was boring. There were not many fans in the arena cheering. , only continuous and noisy discussions.

"boom!"

Ray Allen assisted Yang Dikong to catch a dunk, and the Warriors trailed the Celtics 22 to 25.

Subsequently, the game entered a mandatory timeout, a long timeout of 100 seconds, players from both teams also returned to the field, and head coach Montgomery began to rotate the lineup.

Montgomery has the right to dispatch troops, and all the players on the bench are looking at him eagerly.

"Monta, Matt, you go on the field." Montgomery pondered for a moment, and then replaced Matt Barnes with better defense, much earlier than his regular appearance time.

Matt Barnes was taken aback for a moment, then reacted immediately, nodded and took off his coat.

Of course he knows his mission. The Celtics have only one core, and he is known for his defense. If he doesn't defend Paul Pierce, there is no need to change him.

On the other side, the Celtics also performed a lineup rotation, with Delonte West, Leon Powe and other players playing.

Delonte West was the 04th overall pick in the first round of 12. After being selected by the Celtics, he played a starter last season and performed very well, averaging 12 points, 4.6 assists and 1.2 assists per game. Steals are considered to have outstanding potential.

But during the offseason, Delonte neglected to exercise. Not only did his body fat rate rise sharply, but he also felt bad. Rivers was very angry and demoted him to the bench as the sixth man.

After one or two months of competition and training, Delonte West has recovered the state of last season and is on the rise. Now it is only a matter of time before he regains his starting position.

Facing the thin Monta Ellis, Delonte quickly changed direction and rushed into the Warriors' position.

Then in front of Yang Di's supplementary defense, he threw a high throw and hit it.

27 to 22, Yang Di was also taken aback. He didn't expect this ugly guy to have two brushes, and his style was very similar to that of Monta Ellis.

Monta is also upset. After a year of training, Monta is now very capable of scoring, and he is very confident in scoring.

Delonte, who entered the league only one season earlier than him, has done him a clean job, and of course he has to find his way back.

So after halftime, he dribbled continuously under his crotch and then switched back and forth. Facing Delonte West, he pretended to break through left and right, and suddenly stepped out with his right foot, taking a strong step, as fast as a black lightning bolt.

Delonte West's defense is better than Monta's, but it's not much better. For a moment, Monta Ellis has already entered the inside and hit the basket in three strides.

Monta Ellis throws himself into the sky, confronts Al Jefferson, and underhands the basket.

"Have it!"

He was overjoyed, and felt that the ball felt good.

But unfortunately, the basketball rolled out after spinning around the hoop.

Yang Di, who was stuck in the main position at the basket, picked the ball up, took off for the second time and forced off the offensive rebound, and distributed it to the outside Ray Allen to reorganize the offense.
