Chapter 21 The Celtics Are Coming ([-])

"Thomas Jr. and Zeller played a pick-and-roll, Noelle came out to pinch, and the ball was not released in time."

"Successfully cut off by Young, now is Philly's chance to fight back."

"Left Covington, right Grant, Young can choose left or right, what is his choice?"

"It's Grant."

"Boom, the crisp sound of hitting the board and dunk once again slashed the hearts of Boston fans.

"Pause" Due to the lack of a passer in the team lineup that can be transferred to the weak side, when Thomas Jr. played pick-and-roll with the inside, he suffered the nightmare of pinching and losing the ball without exception.

"Coach Stevens couldn't wait for the TV timeout to deal with the problem, and he called the first timeout of the game."

…………

…………

He knows about Thomas Jr.'s lack of height.

But he never expected that Thomas Jr.'s proud speed and explosive power would suffer in front of the 2-meter big man.

"Then, can you crack my new style of play?" Retracting his thoughts, Stevens began to arrange tactics for his disciples...

90-second long pauses are fleeting

"Bang" Olynik, who just came on the field, has a much better screen quality than Tyler Zeller, which immediately caused problems for Young and Noelle's positions.

"Olynik's pick-and-roll false outside cut, Noelle fell for it."

"Thomas Jr.'s big right-angle change finally has room to display."

"Thomas Jr. is too fast. If there is no defense, the 76ers' defense will be over."

"Covington showed up, and Thomas Jr. chose to pass the lob."

"Snapped"

"Oh, a beautiful block, Covington's block gave Young time to chase, and he pressed Thomas Jr.'s lob to Olynik."

"Counterattack, Philadelphia's fourth fast break opportunity in this quarter, although this time it was not Thomas Jr.'s mistakes and missed shots, but it was also related to him."

"Bradley, Crowder, Smart all stuck in Young's path."

Isn't it crazy that Stevens took all his cards against Young's fast break? "

Seeing such a good opportunity, Yang, who has Duke genes engraved in his bones, would not rush forward.He took out another weapon in his arsenal:
quarterback throw

"Bang!" Grant, who had been lying in ambush for a long time on the edge of the three-second zone, swallowed the cake with ease.

…………

…………

This time, the Celtics did not let Isaiah Thomas have the ball but chose to let Crowder have the ball

Crowder's choice of holding the ball really made the 76ers' defense quite uncomfortable. As the team's only second player who can make up both the inside and the outside, putting him next to Crowder is to reduce the pressure on him to defend alone. I didn't expect Stevens to discover this.

hand to hand and back screen
Crowder easily created a three-pointer for Olynyk, and Olynyk lived up to his trust and completed the Celtics' first three-pointer tonight.

"Are you so strong that you have nowhere to use it? Then you might as well be a security guard. There are more places to use your strength. This is the place to play."

"Believe it or not, I can break you five balls tonight."

"I do not believe."

"Throw it into the sky."

After playing a few rounds, Smart, who has not made any contribution, actually sat on his body and used his wingspan to hinder him from receiving the baseline ball. Yang couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing Yang's explanation, Moore no longer hesitated, and threw the ball high above Yang's position.

As soon as Yang took the serve from the baseline, a voice that ghosts could hear wandered in the 76ers' half.

Since ghosts can hear it, the referee on the left can also hear it.

For this reason, he whistled without hesitation.

"Foul by thug number 36,"

Hearing his foul, Smart, who looked innocent and disbelieving, immediately went to argue with the referee.

"I have seen it all, so don't look innocent and unbelievable in your eyes, it is all fake in our eyes." It seems that the referee wanted to say a few more words, and did not use a technical foul to shut Smart up.

Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, the 76ers replaced Grant with genuine point guard McConnell, and pushed Young and Covington to the 3.4 position.

Liberated from the burden of controlling the ball, Yang's mind, which touched his ribs, began to come alive.

…………

…………

From the bottom corner at 45 degrees and then from the bottom corner to another bottom corner, watching Moore's running route, Yang knew how he should move next,

Take cover in his path

After a few seconds of "bang", a strong collision of muscles came.

At this time, something that surprised everyone happened.

"Smart got up in a rage, and he ran in the direction of Young, who didn't notice him"

"Oh, is he crazy? Even if Yang gave him a secret trick, he can't retaliate like this. He will definitely be expelled."

Yang, who was pushed out, also quickly got up and ran towards Smart.

Knowing that he could no longer do anything, Yang decided not to show weakness, and immediately started spraying

"I think you're an idiot. If you can't beat me in the game, you'll use dirty tricks. Now you don't even cover it up. Are you admitting that you are a permanent loser?" At this time, Covington hugged Yang and pulled him back.

"You are not a good thing, you insulted your Duke's style of play." Even though he was unwilling to stop, Olynyk locked Smart up, but did not drag him away.

"You say it again."

"Quiet, be quiet, everyone, go back to your seats." The three referees finally appeared in time
Seeing Covington and Noelle come to pull, the unforgiving Yang said, it was over and was pulled back to the bench by his teammates.

"Are you sure you won't be sent off?" Back on the bench, Brett Brown, who blocked the camera, asked about the situation

"will not."

"Well, just wait."

…………

…………

"Second level malice, expulsion."

"Deportation."

"Deportation."

It didn't take long for the three referees to determine Smart's "sentencing"

"Smart, expelled for a second-level malicious foul." As his players were expelled, the voice of the DJ on the scene was very dull.

Smart, who was sent off, even smiled and waved towards the area where the Celtics fans were.

Smart is over, by Jan's turn
"It's because the cover is too big! But for the sake of the game, we have to give him a level of malice."

"No, no, it's not too big, but he's pushing on the screen. It's an unnecessary move, and I support a flagrant first-degree foul."

"I think it's okay, first-degree flagrant foul."

"Yang, first-degree malicious foul." This round, DJ's voice was even more vicissitudes.

唰

唰

With two free throws, Young was replaced by Brett Brown at 5 minutes and 30 seconds into the first quarter.

在这5分30秒的上场时间里，他拿下了6分3篮板5助攻3抢断1盖帽的数据，给76人的防守和进攻注入了新的活力。
