Chapter 196: The man and the ball are separated

After sleeping one night in Indiana, the next morning, the Warriors flew to Atlanta. Their next opponent was the Atlanta Hawks (We Are Legends).

The Hawks were a playoff team in the Eastern Conference last year, and their momentum this season is also good. They had 15 wins and 10 losses before this. If they can maintain this winning rate steadily, they will definitely lock in the playoffs and break into the Eastern Conference.

The top four is not impossible.

Of course, this is not the first time for Yang Shuai from Atlanta. Last season with the Celtics, the two Eastern teams had many encounters. In the first round of the playoffs, the Hawks even brought a new challenge to the Celtics.

Troubled.

Similarly, Atlanta fans are no stranger to Yang Shuai. In the playoffs last season, especially the sixth game, Yang Shuai left a deep impression on the Hawks. His arrogant image was

This makes Eagles fans very unhappy.

Returning to Phillips Arena, Yang Shuai was still greeted with boos, even worse than in the playoffs last season (read the full text of the Thunder).

Standing near the center circle of the court and looking over, Yang Shuai still saw those familiar faces. Compared with last season's playoffs, the Eagles' starting lineup has not changed at all.

Center Al Horford, power forward Marvin Williams, small forward Josh Smith, shooting guard Joe Johnson, point guard Mike Bibby.

Due to the injury of Stephen Jackson, the Warriors' starting lineup has changed slightly, including center Andris Biedrins, power forward Carl Landry, small forward Yang Shuai, and shooting guard Marco Beline.

Leigh, point guard Kirk Hinrich.

The starting shooting guard Old Nelson sent Italian Belinelli, but his position is obviously not strong. If he does not perform well in this game, he will most likely be squeezed out by Anthony Morrow in the next game, or even

The playing time in this game will be less.

Because of last season's playoffs, Eagles fans' impression of the team has changed a lot. They no longer think the team is a weak team. In addition, the Eagles have a very good record this season, and the attendance at home today is also very good.

considerable.

Amid the roar of the fans, referee Joe Crawford threw the ball high, and Biedrins and Horford jumped up and touched the basketball in the air.

Horford's take-off timing seemed better. He shot the ball into Bibby's hands one step ahead of Biedlins, and the Hawks gained the right to attack first.

Yang Shuai's opponent is no longer Joe Johnson from last season, but small forward Josh Smith. In the first half of last season, some people once said that Yang Shuai is very similar to Josh Smith. He was also already young.

Become an excellent defensive player, often perform dunks and blocks, but his shooting ability is not outstanding.

In the second half of the season, people discovered that Yang Shuai's shooting ability seemed to be better than Smith's. Especially in the playoffs, Yang Shuai repeatedly used his shooting to help the team get out of trouble, while Smith still had trouble shooting.

The selection is a headache, and his shooting is still inconsistent.

By this season, Yang Shuai's performance has been completely different. With his stable outside shooting ability and breakthrough, his scoring has not been ignored by other teams (Brilliant China txt download). What about Smith? He still seems to be on par with the previous season.

Same problem every season.

Bibby dribbled the ball on the outside and then handed it to Johnson. For the Hawks, Johnson was the first choice point of offense.

Belinelli attaches great importance to his starting opportunity. Moro's offensive performance was better than him in the last game.

Similar to many foreign players, Belinelli's physical confrontation ability is not strong. Facing Johnson, his thin body is at a disadvantage. Belinelli understands this very well, but he still keeps doing it with Johnson.

Fight with your body.

Johnson's offensive strength is indeed very good, but Belinelli's defense did not work. He made a mid-range pull-up jumper and the Hawks master threw the basketball into the basket.

As soon as the ball fell from the basket, it was immediately caught by Landry, and then quickly handed over to Hinrich's hands. The Warriors' offense still pursues one word, fast.

The Hawks seemed to be well prepared for an attack like the Warriors, and their defensive speed was very good. Next to Yang Shuai, Josh Smith followed closely. Before the game, coach Mike Woodson told him to

Be careful with Yang Shuai, he also understands that the player in front of him is no longer the Celtics substitute last season.

"Hush!" There were strong boos at the scene. Hinrich was stopped by Bibby and handed the ball to Yang Shuai.

"You really think highly of me. There were such strong boos at the first ball." Yang Shuai raised the corner of his mouth slightly and slowly bent down to prepare for the attack.

"Josh, guard him! Tell him what defense is!" "Come on, kid, attack, Josh will make you look good." When the Eagles fans saw Yang Shuai preparing to single out Smith, the boos suddenly became stronger.

.

Patting the ball casually, Yang Shuai looked past Smith and landed on the inside of the Eagles, and then suddenly started rushing to the left at the next moment. Yang Shuai's explosive power is very good, after all, he now has advanced speed and jumping.

But Smith's reaction was also very quick, and the Hawks' starting small forward also relied on defense (the latest chapter of Monkey King's Seven-Day Holiday).

"Porphyry!" His body collided with Smith's. Yang Shuai turned around and came to the right, and then prepared to rush past Smith's side.

"Coax!" When Smith used his excellent physical fitness and reflexes to stop in front of Yang Shuai again, there was a burst of cheers because they found that Yang Shuai paused at this time.

Smith's defense was indeed the main reason for Yang Shuai's pause, but Yang Shuai didn't think that the opponent's defense would stop him. After a sudden stop, Yang Shuai changed direction and rushed to the left again.

Although Smith also reacted at the last moment, Yang Shuai still found room to break through and stepped forward with his left foot. He ensured that his body was ahead of Smith. As for the physical confrontation that followed, he was not worried because of his advanced strength.

Having seized the opportunity, Yang Shuai tightly blocked Smith and rushed to the basket. Horford, who was inside, also cast his gaze over, ready to defend at any time.

"Squeak!" One step away from the three-second zone, Yang Shuai, who was rushing forward, stopped suddenly again. While throwing Smith away, he also jumped up.

Although Smith rushed past Yang Shuai due to inertia, he was indeed a strong defender. He quickly adjusted his center of gravity and then jumped up to block Yang Shuai's ball.

"Josh, cover him!" Eagles fans stood up excitedly. From the perspective of most Eagles fans, Smith's hand was almost reaching Yang Shuai's ball, but both Yang Shuai and Smith knew that this ball was coming to Smith.

It can no longer be covered.

When Smith took off and stretched out his hand, Yang Shuai's ball had already been released. The ball jumped over Smith's fingertips and flew towards the basket.

"Bang!" The ball hit the inside of the basket and fell into the basket. Yang Shuai made an emergency stop jumper from mid-range and made a hit!

"Damn it, how did this goal go in? This guy must be lucky!" "Humph, it's just the beginning. If he comes back for the next goal, Josh will definitely put it in

Cover him!"

While the Eagles fans booed disdainfully, Yang Shuai raised his right hand and blew it gently, saying softly: "It feels good."

Judging from the feel of this ball, Yang Shuai is not too exaggerated. You must know that although his current mid-range shot is super, his pull-up jump shot is only elementary. The hit rate of pull-up jump shots in the mid-range is very different from that of open shots, especially

In this situation where the defensive player has already defended well, the reason why he can hit the ball is because he feels very good.

With super physical strength and good touch, Yang Shuai is very satisfied with everything. On the defensive end, he has also become more active.

Smith did not have much ability to play in singles with the ball, so the ball did not fall into his hands, but was handed to Horford. Horford singled out Biedlins, but his shot was blocked by Biedlins and then Yang Shuai.

Due to the interference, the ball bounced out of the basket.

Although the ball was successfully defended, Nelson was not satisfied. He raised his brow slightly and then turned his attention to Yang Shuai. Before the game, he specifically told Yang Shuai to reduce assist defense and supplementary defense on the defensive end.

To save energy, but now it seems that Yang Shuai did not listen to him.

Hinrich dribbled the ball quickly to the half court, but did not hand the ball to Yang Shuai, but chose to directly break through Bibby. Although the physical fitness of the two is not very good, Hinrich's youth advantage

It still showed at this time that Bibby's defense did not stop him.

One move affects the whole body. When a player breaks through and enters the inside, it also means that the team's offense has a good start. Marvin Williams gave up Landry to defend Hinrich. Hinrich looked at

He immediately passed the ball to his teammate's space.

The Eagles' defense is indeed very good, which is also a very important reason for their improvement this season. As soon as Landry got the ball, Josh Smith had already arrived, and Bibby ran towards Yang Shuai.

Bibby can run, and Yang Shuai will certainly not stand still. When Smith left, he quickly moved towards the bottom corner. Landry discovered Yang Shuai's running and sent the ball to the bottom corner (my

Bibby rushed over with all his strength, but he was still half a beat too late. When he came to Yang Shuai's side, Yang Shuai had already jumped up and shot, and his raised hand had too little impact on Yang Shuai.

"Whoa!" The ball fell into the basket and made a crisp sound as it hit the net!

"**e! It's this kid again, he actually hit a three-pointer?" "Josh shouldn't have put this kid in the open space. He is now the Warriors' leading scorer."

Woodson also understood this, so he specifically shouted when Smith ran by: "Josh, pay more attention to your defensive players!"

Josh Smith nodded. He understood what the coach meant. In order to restrict Yang Shuai, he would not hesitate to allow other Warriors players to get opportunities.

The ball was still handed to Horford. Horford seemed a lot more careful this time. When he saw Yang Shuai stepping forward to double-team, he immediately handed the ball to Smith's hands.

After receiving the pass and facing Yang Shuai's return defense, Smith did not choose to take a direct shot from the mid-range, but rushed to the basket with the ball. Yang Shuai blocked Smith's breakthrough path, and Smith changed direction and came to Yang Shuai's path.

Side, continue to hit the basket.

Quickly turning sideways, Yang Shuai stuck closely to Smith's side, and his body kept exerting force to interfere with the opponent's progress. Smith stopped dribbling, but picked up the ball, and then moved towards it without leaving any trace on his shoulder.

He leaned against Yang Shuai, and he took a big step forward and jumped up.

"Josh!" All Hawks fans stood up excitedly. When Smith took off with the ball in his arms, it meant that a dunk was about to appear in front of their eyes.

Smith's toes had just left the ground when a palm of his left hand came out and struck his newly exposed ball like lightning. Smith, who was in the air, swayed slightly and fell directly from the air.

"What?" The excitement of the Eagles fans disappeared immediately. They clearly saw that the ball had landed on the floor ahead of Smith, and was then grabbed by a hand.
