Chapter 22 The Celtics Are Coming ([-])

At the beginning of the second quarter, I watched Holmes, Grant, Stauskas and Tony Rotten beside me
Then look at Amir Johnson, Sullinger, Evan Turner, RJ Hunter, and Rozier on the opposite side.

Yang, who wanted to say something, still didn't say anything, and walked back to the court silently...

"Young grabs a defensive rebound and goes upfield"

"Stauskas came to cover Young"

"Young's breakthrough caught the attention of the Celtics, and he passed the ball to Grant in the opposite corner in time"

"Swish"

"Grant lived up to his trust and let Young's assists in this game come to the sixth."

"Smart paid the price for his recklessness, and the Celtics couldn't sustain 2 minutes of intensity at the 48 to protect their point guard.

However, Stevens also found a way to break through the 76ers' perimeter and help defense everywhere without Covington:

non-stop empty-handed running

"bang"

"Holmes and Grant made a mistake on the cross screen, how could they both chase Sullinger who doesn't have much range and miss the basket Amir Johnson"

"The 76ers' defense is wrong again. How can we put all the attention on Evan Turner with the ball and miss Rozier who is standing in the empty cut."

The "pause" feng shui took turns, and the 76ers also requested a timeout shortly after the start of the second quarter

…………

…………

"It's okay, we can call back." Although he really wanted to use swearing to solve the problem, but after thinking about the abilities of his teammates, Yang gave up this idea and turned to comforting them to soothe their emotions.

"Coach, change the matchup. Let Grant face Evan Turner, and I'll face Sullinger." Since he couldn't solve the problem, he had to do it himself.

"Okay" Since he wants to take on the role, Coach Brown doesn't have any reason to object.

"As the score was pulled back to 30:39 by the Celtics, Young took the ball from the point guard again." After playing two rounds for Tony Roten and they were cracked, Young did not give him a chance to play.

Looking at Evan Turner in front of him, Young, who was dribbling the ball, began to recall the report given by the defensive assistant
Why is it a defensive assistant? The answer is simple. The first assistant is an offensive madman. Defense has never appeared in his learning dictionary.
Evan Turner, No. 2010 in [-], is a good organizer and support player, and the defensive end is only an average defender.

Since he is not strong, Yang doesn't want to waste time, he dribbles with his left hand, and then catches a very fast pull to change direction

Just passed the first line of defense guarded by Evan Turner, and rushed towards the basket.

At this time, Amir Johnson is guarding the basket of the Celtics. Even though he is very suitable for the position of a backup center, he has a inherently difficult problem:
not tall enough
The problem of not being tall enough has caused him to go forward and block well, and it is not good to stand under the basket and wait for the impact.

Due to the height of 211 on the opposite side, Amir Johnson immediately decided to rush out.

Looking at the defender rushing out, a very swift European step was connected by Yang.

Seeing that he was beaten, Amir Johnson showed his veteran qualities:

Vicious foul.

"Di" at the moment the referee blew the whistle, Yang raised the basketball with his left hand and gently picked it in the direction of the basket.

"Dang, Dang" after knocking on the basket twice, the ball fell into the basket very reluctantly.

"I'm sorry, in order to prevent you, the action is a bit big."

"fine"

"Substitution" Because McConnell was needed, Young hurriedly signaled Coach Brown to make a substitution.

He was not angry in the face of overtaking Coach Brown, and hurriedly replaced McConnell as required.

Luckily for Boston fans, the second standout performance of the season came with the switch to McConnell...

…………

…………

"Evan Turner breaks Grant's defense and finds the basket open; Amir Johnson gets the pass and tries to dunk

"Snapped"

"Beautiful block, Young, who rushed back to the basket with all his strength, pressed the dunk before the reasonable collision zone, Philadelphia's counterattack opportunity."

"McConnell found Young who was running 45 degrees upfield."

"He didn't want a two-point dunk, but a one-step three-pointer from beyond the three-point line?"

"Unbelievable shot selection, isn't he too crazy...to go in."

"The point difference has come to 15 points. Does Coach Stevens want to request a timeout to stabilize the situation?"

"As expected, Stevens called a stop decisively."

The 90-second long timeout is fleeting and the game continues
"Stevens regained Bradley, Thomas Jr., Crowder, and Olynik. It seems that he is not satisfied with the performance of the previous substitute."

"After taking the main force, the Celtics' offense returned to normal in an instant. Olynik solved the urgent need for the Celtics through the pick-and-roll outside cut."

"Unbelievable long pass from the audience, the Celtics actually had the problem of not being able to retreat in time." The Celtics' offense had just ended, and the 76ers' Grant on the other side had already received the pass and completed a dunk.

"Swish"

The Celtics were lucky. Thomas Jr., who hadn't found his touch, finally won a sure-fire layup under the interference of Holmes.

Predicting that he would be flanked in the next round, Yang simply handed the ball to the only reliable McConnell, and he ran to the bottom corner to stand.

After watching a 15-second scene with Bradley, Young, who had been motionless in the corner, finally moved.

This time, he didn't use cover, but rushed directly to the top of the arc, apparently wanting to take over the offense.

Even Bradley, a veteran who has been struggling for several years, thought he thought so, desperately stuck in his pocket.

But is there anything that simple?With Young as a passer, how could he be so independent.

When he received McConnell's signal, he immediately stopped going out, turned around and ran towards the basket.

"bang"

The height of 211 played a decisive role, and Bradley, who defended Young, could not interfere with this alley-oop at all.

Knowing that Bradley couldn't stop Young's offense, Stevens stood on the sidelines and signaled for Crowder to take over Young's defense in the next round.

The 1.98m Claude is the third consumption card that Stevens played to Yang.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Unlike the stalking Bradley, Claude is a confrontational defender who focuses on strength confrontation. He kept using physical contact to put pressure on Young from the beginning of contact.

"It's useless." After confirming that the referee couldn't see it, Yang also began to respond. He suddenly slammed towards Claude with great force. This sudden impact caused Claude to lose more than one and a half body positions.

With a half-length position, Young easily received Holmes who was one step inside the three-point line and was waiting to pass the ball to him.

After completing the pass, Holmes also moved a step forward in a very Philadelphian style, preparing to block Claude's pursuit.

A miscalculation of a move happened. Seeing that Yang had a big open opportunity, Olynik, who was originally in the three-point line, immediately lost Holmes, who was not a threat, to fill Claude's position.

Seeing someone in front of him, Young was not sloppy, and quickly directed the ball to McConnell, who was 45 degrees to the left.

McConnell's better tactical quality among the 76ers was fully reflected in the next moment. When Young gave him the ball, he did not act in a hurry, but waited a little bit.

While he was waiting, Yang also managed to reach the bottom left corner
Faced with this not-so-good opportunity, McConnell still passed the ball

"Swish"

"With Young's another three-pointer, the point difference on the court has come to 17 points. Is there really no way for Coach Stevens?"

If Stevens heard this commentary, he would definitely complain that the forward defender in his hand is not comparable in height, speed and speed, and suffers from all strength.Apart from letting him consume it as soon as possible, what other way can I do?

…………

…………

When the first half of the game between the Celtics and the 76ers was over, the score on the field was beyond everyone's expectations

被各大媒体安排在东部No.15名的费城76人在客场以66比47领先波士顿凯尔特人19分之多。

To be able to temporarily defeat the strong with the weak, the best thing the Philadelphia 76ers have done is naturally Yang
半场8中6，外带罚球3中3，让他拿到了全场最高的17分，在与5篮板7助攻3抢断2盖帽的数据一起搭配，让他的上半场表现无可挑剔。

He was followed by starting shooting guard E'Twaun Moore, who scored the second-highest 15 points on the team late in the first quarter, relying on floaters and off-ball [-]-pointers around screens.

In the back, Jerami Grant and Covington, who were fed by Young, both scored 9 points, adding follow-up fire to the first two."

…………

…………

Because the first half was really crazy, at the beginning of the second half, Yang, who remembered the principle, immediately shifted the focus of attack to Noelle

Even though Noelle didn't score much, Young worked tirelessly to throw a few good passes for him.

Can't get in, still want to feed?
That's right, who makes someone a center forward? If you don't let him play well, he will give you a defensive effort, and the defense of the penalty area will be finished.

After watching Noelle eat to her heart's content, Jan finally started working normally
