Basketball striker

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Rivers finally replaced Ray Allen, Eddie House and Cassell were also substituted. Yang Shuai and Pierce both came off the court to rest, and Garnett, Perkins, and Rondo also came on.

With everyone sitting off the court, Rivers arranged an old and young combination of P.J. Brown and Bowyer inside.

Compared with the Celtics, the Pistons' lineup changes appeared to be more conservative. They adopted a two-point guard combination and replaced Billup with backup point guard Rodney Stuckey and veteran Lindsay Hunter.

Si and Hamilton, replaced Rasheed Wallace with Theo Ratliff, but kept the two starting players Prince and McDyess on the court.

Starkey became the most active person in the Pistons during this period. Facing House, the young Detroit guard broke through, shot, and passed everything. He transformed into an all-around warrior, scoring 6 points in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter.

Send an assist.

Cassell's touch was very average today. He tried two mid- and long-range shots in this period but failed to hit them. So Ray Allen took over the offensive responsibility, first hitting two jumpers, and then Ray-

Allen assisted PJ Brown and made a close shot.

Everyone could see that Jun Zijian was not injured. Not only was he not injured, he actually played with more impact than in the previous two quarters. Precisely because of Ray Allen's good performance in this period, even though the score was close to only 1 point, Li

Firth did not replace Pierce, but replaced Yang Shuai with Eddie House. Along with Yang Shuai, Garnett and Rondo were also substituted. PJ Brown and Cassell were also replaced.

.

Facing Prince again, Yang Shuai focused more on the defensive end. His defense was effective. Prince had no performance under his defense for nearly two minutes. But accordingly,

In two minutes, except for adding one rebound, Yang Shuai's technical statistics did not change much. When there were 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, he was replaced by Pierce.

"Hey, Yang, will you still have a chance to play?" After listening to Zhu Li's question, his eyes fell on Rivers. Yang Shuai shook his head. Judging from the current situation, Pierce and Pierce, who are in good condition,

Ray Allen should not be replaced by Rivers, and Garnett, who is the Celtics' key insider, is even less likely. He doesn't even know if he has a chance to play again.

But now, Yang Shuai has put this aside for the time being, focusing all his attention on the progress and results of the game.

At the beginning of the season, handsome young man Yang set a goal for himself to become a famous basketball player, so he very much hoped that he would always be given opportunities to perform. However, as the schedule progressed, he slowly integrated into the team.

As he participates in more and more games, while he hopes that he will get opportunities to perform, he also hopes that his performance can help the team.

Entering the playoffs, the battles became more and more intense, and the result of each game may affect the direction of the series. At this time, handsome young man Yang began to hope that his performance could help the team win. From the bottom of his heart, Yang

Shuai still hopes that he can get more playing opportunities and performance opportunities, but he is no longer just to show his face in front of others. He has begun to value his ability to be recognized by others, and helping the team win happens to be the most important thing.

An important one.

In the first half of the season, Yang Shuai often lost his mind when he was off the court. He would not pay attention to the score until he came back on the court. However, in the second half of the schedule, even when he was sitting off the court, he did not forget to pay attention to the scores of the two teams.

, in the playoffs, his attention was even more focused on the scores between the two teams.

Near the end of the game, the stalemate situation on the court made the atmosphere in the Garden Arena tense. When the game entered the last three minutes, Billups hit a three-pointer with 24 seconds left to close the Pistons' score.

After taking the lead, the Garden Arena fell into a brief silence, and Rivers called a timeout.

Perhaps due to the impact of physical strength, the defensive quality of both teams declined in the fourth quarter. With 1 minute and 03 seconds left in this quarter, the score was 96:94, which was an increase from the previous three quarters.

"Yang, come on, replace Kendrick. On this ball, we attack...Yang!" Rivers' tactical adjustment surprised the Celtics players. They raised their heads and glanced at Rivers, realizing that

It was only when the head coach looked serious that he was convinced that he had heard correctly.

"Yang, for this ball, you start running from this position and then choose to take the shot here or here. Is there a problem?" Rivers pointed to the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right and closer to the baseline.

Middle distance position.

Yang Shuai stared at the running route drawn by Rivers, nodded and said with a smile: "Coach, don't worry, I will definitely send the ball to the basket."

Rivers took away the tactical board and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, they didn't expect this ball to be in your hands. The opponent's big man inside can't keep up with you, which means your chance will come."

Then, hit it!"

"Doug chose to substitute? He sent Young and took Kendrick off the court. Did Doug give up on the inside at the last moment?" Mike Breen looked at the opportunity to step on the field and said with some confusion.

Of course, Sanders also saw the Celtics' change of formation. He frowned slightly and then relaxed. Ray Allen, Pierce and Garnett all had good hands. He didn't believe Rivers would actually use them.

The focus of the attack is on Yang Shuai, although it is McDyess who defends Yang Shuai.

"This kid is here to confuse us. If we make adjustments at this time, we will be fooled by the opponent. Yes, that is definitely the case." Sanders turned his head and looked at River, who was also standing on the sidelines.

Si, looking at it from this angle, Rivers had no expression on his face, so he himself found a reason for Rivers' arrangement.

Garnett and Yang Shuai were in the low post. Rondo handed the ball to Garnett. Garnett held the ball in singles. Sanders nodded when he saw this. Sure enough, the ball was handed to Garnett.

.

However, at this moment, he saw Yang Shuai, who was standing still in the low post, start running. After Yang Shuai ran from the basket, Garnett also passed the ball back to Rondo, and he

He turned sideways and started to block Yang Shuai.

Sanders' face looked a little uncomfortable. He continued to stare at the court, and then without looking back he said to the assistant coach behind him: "Tell me this kid's shooting data."

"12 points, 5 of 7 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers." As if to match the voice of the assistant coach, Yang Shuai rushed out of the three-point line, received Rondo's pass and shot.

"Damn, it's true, I was cheated!" Looking at Yang Shuai taking the shot, Sanders snorted heavily in his nasal cavity. McDyess' defense of Yang Shuaiyi encountered the same problem as in the previous quarter. When Yang Shuai fired

When he started running, especially after using the blocker, he couldn't keep up at all, which allowed Yang Shuai to take another calm shot after catching the ball.

"Yang, shot from outside the three-point line, good shot! The ball went in! Beautiful shot, the Celtics took the lead again, Doug arranged for Yang to take the shot, which was beyond everyone's expectations, but I have to say, this is

A successful tactical arrangement." Mike Breen exclaimed after the "swish" sound, and the scene was boiling again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The rhythmless hitting sound of the inflatable stick made people's blood boil, and the cheers were ear-piercing. "Yang!" "Silver Killer!" Such voices came one after another. This was undoubtedly a key progress.

The ball may even change the direction of the game. There are still 47 seconds left for both sides.

Off the court, Rivers heaved a sigh of relief and clapped vigorously, adopting this risky tactic. It would be impossible to say that he wasn't nervous at all, but he couldn't show it just now. He couldn't let his emotions affect what was about to happen.

Players taking the field.

The Pistons called a short timeout. Rivers made defensive tactical arrangements, but did not make substitution adjustments. Yang Shuai remained on the court, and his task was to defend Prince.

Prince's task was to serve, which made handsome young man Yang's defense not play a big role. Hamilton, after running, received Prince's pass from the right wing and cut straight to the basket, and the Celtics quickly shrunk.

He defended, but failed to stop the attack. When he was close to the three-second zone, Hamilton got out of the way of Ray Allen and Pierce, who was assisting him in defending. He made an unconventional high throw and put the ball into the basket, 98:97,

The Pistons took the lead, and they only took 5 seconds to attack this time.

"Oh, Richard Hamilton, he rewrote the score. What will happen in the last 42 seconds?"

There were 42 seconds left on the clock, and the difference between the two teams was only 1 point. The game was full of suspense. Although Rivers called a timeout, the fans still remained standing.

"Beep!" As the timeout ended, the Celtics fans cheered in unison.

"Attack! Attack!"

"Paul!" "Kevin!" "Ray!" mixed with such shouts, obviously different fans think that the player who took the shot is different.

"Paul get the ball!" Mike Breen didn't have to worry that his voice would be drowned out by the fans. After the Celtics' attack started, the noise at the scene had become quieter.

"Breakthrough! Paul, changed the rhythm and passed Taishian Prince's defense, made a mid-range jumper, yes! The ball went in! Paul Pierce, hit the key goal! The Celtics overtook again, the key

At this moment, the captain of the Green Army stepped forward and there were still 23 seconds left for the Detroit Pistons."

"Paul! Paul!" cheers rang out in the Garden Arena. Pierce excitedly jumped up and bumped his chest with Yang Shuai beside him in celebration, and the Pistons called their last timeout.

"Yang, stick to that masked guy, don't let him take action easily!" Listening to Rivers' solemn tone, Yang Shuai nodded gently, and then showed a signature smile.

"Defense!" "Defense!" The game restarted, with Celtic fans shouting rhythmically under the leadership of DJ. The game entered the most critical moment.

"On the last offensive opportunity of the Detroit Pistons, who will the ball be handed over to? Chauncey? Richard Rasheed? Chauncey controls the ball. He is pressing for time..."

"Maybe it's Chauncey. He's facing Rajon Rondo. This All-Star point guard has the ability to kill with one hit." Jeff Van Gundy answered Mike Breen.

Mark Jackson shook his head and said: "I think the ball will be handed over to Richard Hamilton. The Chinese boy can't stop the masked man. The last ball of the third quarter will likely be repeated." Pistons fans will react to Mark Jackson's words.

Agree, but Celtics fans definitely don't.

Yang Shuai didn't look at Billups dribbling on the outside. All his attention was on Hamilton. Of course he still remembered the last ball in the last quarter. Yang Shuai didn't even have time to pay attention.

Watching out for Hamilton's run.

Hamilton moved and ran along the baseline. Yang Shuai followed him almost without any hesitation. At the same time, Yang Shuai began to carefully observe the front of Hamilton's running.

Yang Shuai's vigilance was not unreasonable. Rasheed Wallace blocked the opponent sideways as he expected. Yang Shuai, who was well prepared, would not make the same mistake in the third quarter again. He took another pass from Rasheed Wallace.

Rushed through on one side and chased Hamilton directly.

Hamilton's running was not completely smooth. When Rasheed was helping to block the ball, Garnett took the initiative and made Hamilton have to bypass the Celtics' inside core. In this way, Yang Shuai almost didn't lose his position.

Billups followed the tactical arrangement and passed the ball to Hamilton in the middle distance at a 45-degree angle. The latter quickly took off after receiving the ball.

"Get off here!" As the rushing Yang Shuai shouted, Hamilton's face instantly turned ugly. The basket was gone, and all he could see was a palm!

"Richard shot..." "Young rushed in..." Jackson and Van Gundy's voices sounded almost at the same time, and then paused at the same time, and the scene was absolutely quiet for a moment.

"Bang!" This sound was like opening a floodgate, and cheers swept through the entire Garden Arena like a flood.

"Yang blocked Richard's shot! Beautiful block! Key block, 98:99, the Celtics won, Yang..."

"Yang... handsome!" the Garden Arena DJ shouted Yang Shuai's name in his loud voice, and the Garden Arena was filled with joy.

"Boy, good job!" "Yang, good job!" Yang Shuai was still pumping his fists and yelling, but Garnett, Pierce and others had already rushed up and hugged him.

Off the court, Rivers clenched his fist and waved it hard, then rushed into the court with the substitute players. After they left, Chu Xiyun and Zhu Li were revealed behind them, and they hugged each other excitedly.

, with a smile on his face.

Richard Hamilton looked at the celebrating Celtic players, and then looked down at the unattended basketball on the sidelines. There was some confusion and helplessness in his eyes. Why was this ball blocked?

"Hey, Mark, the ball was indeed handed over to Richard as you said, but you missed one thing. It was China Yang who stopped him!"

"..." Mark Jackson was silent.
