Basketball striker
Chapter 71: In Very Good Condition
"Devin Harris paid the price for his carelessness. Did he think he broke through Young? Hey, never underestimate the Celtics' defense. \\ Starting"
The ball fell out of bounds, and the Mavericks still had 6 seconds to attack. Josh Howard served from the outside and threw it to Nowitzki outside the three-point line. Nowitzki caught the ball and rushed inside.
Old rival Garnett was very familiar with Nowitzki, so he didn't give the German tank a good offensive opportunity at all.
Time was running out. Nowitzki made a sudden stop during the breakthrough and shot from one foot. Due to the influence of Garnett's long arm, the ball hit the basket and bounced out.
"The backboard is mine!" Yang Shuai shouted as he rushed inside and grabbed the backboard. He had been practicing rebounding during this period, which gave him a strong desire for rebounding.
Rondo received Yang Shuai's pass and quickly rushed to the frontcourt, but Harris seemed to be faster, and Rondo did not completely break through the opponent.
At this time, Yang Shuai crossed the three-point line and went straight inside. Rondo stuffed the ball, but Josh Howard, who was following up, knocked it away and the ball flew towards the left.
After reacting, Yang Shuai and Howard rushed towards the basketball together. Howard was obviously more prepared. He seemed to want to touch the ball first, but handsome young man Yang did not agree.
Seeing that he was in a lagging position, Yang Shuai jumped up with his legs on the ground and rushed toward the ball like a tiger.
"Bang!" Yang Shuai's tackle allowed him to get the ball first, but his body fell to the floor uncontrollably, and Howard quickly pressed for the ball.
"Yang!" Ray Allen, who was running over from the other side, shouted and signaled Yang Shuai to pass the ball.
"Ray Allen, three-pointer...yes! The ball went in! Assist from China Yang, 10:14, Celtics lead by 4 points!"
The Mavericks called a timeout. The Celtics seemed to be gaining momentum during this period. Mavericks head coach Junior Johnson couldn't stand it on the sidelines.
"Kevin, be careful of the German offense. Kendrick, help defend and don't let that guy get a chance to take action inside." Rivers seemed to believe that the Mavericks' offense would be in the hands of Nowitzki, and focused on the layout.
to defend against German tanks.
The Mavericks' offense was handed over to Nowitzki as Rivers expected, but Nowitzki's offense did not rush to the basket. He received the ball in the mid-range and took a feint shot directly.
"Whoa!" Although Garnett made a defensive move, Nowitzki still hit the ball steadily.
Rondo dribbled to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Garnett. Garnett leaned in with Nowitzki's back, turned around and shot a jumper. Josh Howard, who followed Yang Shuai and ran inside, stopped midway.
, guarding Garnett with Nowitzki.
Interfered by the two men, Garnett's shot bounced out of the basket, and Dampier blocked Perkins to grab the rebound.
"Bang!" A figure flashed, and Dampier felt his eyes blurred. Someone had already taken the rebound. Who?
"Yang, rushed to grab the offensive rebound. No one could follow up in the mid-range. The mid-range shot, yes, the ball went in! Well done! The Silver Killer's hard work today is surprising. He has already grabbed two in the first quarter.
An offensive rebound."
"Mark, Yang has already scored 5 points!" Van Gundy reminded.
Jackson was unwilling to admit that Yang Shuai was good. He said nonchalantly: "It's nothing. Maybe I won't get a single point if I take over that kid."
"Stick them and protect the rebounds!" Johnson, the young general, yelled dissatisfiedly at the players on the court. If it weren't for Yang Shuai's two offensive rebounds, they would be in the lead.
The Mavericks still beat Nowitzki. After receiving the ball from the baseline, he turned back and hit the ball again. The German tank seemed to have a very good touch today.
Rivers clapped his hands outside the court to attract the attention of the Celtics players, and then pointed at Nowitzki. Although he didn't say anything, the five Celtics players on the court understood him.
Meaning. "Double-team that guy!"
Rondo broke through and handed the ball to Yang Shuai. After Yang Shuai got the ball, he didn't have a good chance to make a shot. He handed the ball to Perkins who was raised to the high position to catch the ball in transition. Perkins saw Ray Allen running.
He wanted to pass the ball, but Terry judged it and stopped it. Seeing Terry take the ball, Yang Shuai quickly approached him and then stuck to his side.
The Mavericks had no chance to play a fast break. Terry dribbled the ball past halftime. Yang Shuai and Ray Allen had already switched defenses again.
Nowitzki's first two shots allowed the Mavericks' offense to find its target. Terry passed the ball to the team's boss again, but this time, he had no chance to make an easy shot.
As soon as Nowitzki got the ball, Yang Shuai quickly moved forward. The German got the ball from the outside. He was able to return to defense in time when the opponent passed the ball to Josh Howard.
Josh Howard ran away, hoping to take Yang Shuai away, but Yang Shuai ignored him at all. The Celtics' defense was definitely not that easy to break.
Nowitzki was double-teamed and did not force his shot. He made a wide-range transfer to Josh Howard, who had already run away. However, as soon as Howard got the ball, a defensive player immediately followed him. It was Pa who was supposed to be guarding Dampier.
Kings. When Yang Shuai and Garnett double-teamed Nowitzki, the other three Celtics defensive players guarded a zone defense on the other side.
Howard dribbled the ball to break through. Perkins was much less flexible than his opponent. Howard did find a space to break through. But when he was about to rush within 16 feet, another white figure came, and he was forced to stop when he was double-teamed.
The ball. The person who came to help defend was Yang Shuai. At this time, he returned to his defensive player.
At this time, only one Mavericks player was open, and that was Dampier, known as the second center in the Western Conference. Howard turned around and pushed the ball towards Dampier inside.
"It's too simple to think about sending the ball to the inside." Yang Shuai laughed. When Howard passed the ball, he quickly jumped out from Howard's side and tapped the orange with his right hand.
superior.
Yang Shuai touched the basketball. Although he did not win the ball, he successfully changed the direction of the ball. The ball flew past Dampier's side. Dampier, who was about to catch the ball, stopped and moved his hands.
He fished for the ball, but the speed and direction of the ball were beyond his original expectations. Although his hand also touched the ball, he could not stop the ball from flying out of the baseline.
"We have to marvel at the rotation defense of the Celtics. Look at Yang. One moment, he was double-teaming Dirk with Kevin. The next moment, he was already beside Kendrick and double-teaming Josh, and then sent
He gave the opponent a mistake, and his activeness on the defensive end is really surprising." Jeff Van Gundy sighed, if he were still the head coach of any team, what he wanted to do most would definitely be to poach the Celtics.
"No, no, not only on defense, Yang is also very active on the offensive end, look!" Mark Jackson on the side wanted to refute disdainfully, but Mike Breen had already shouted out.
After realizing that Yang Shuai was becoming more and more active on the offensive end and had a certain offensive power, Rivers also allowed him to truly participate in the offensive end instead of just waiting for his teammates to pass the ball in the open space.
For example, the Celtics offense at this time often used running positions to attract defensive attention. Ray Allen, who was tearing apart the opponent's defense, stood quietly outside the three-point line. Instead, Yang Shuai was actively running and using
Use teammates' pick-and-rolls to find offensive opportunities.
"Boy, you are really too active!" Howard, who was following Yang Shuai, muttered dissatisfiedly in his heart. His defense was not weak, and he didn't think Yang Shuai could find a good opportunity under his defense.
Indeed, when Yang Shuai ran outside the three-point line, Howard followed up in time and Rondo's pass could not reach it well. But was Yang Shuai ready to catch the ball?
No, almost as soon as he popped up outside the three-point line, Yang Shuai suddenly ran back and rushed towards the inside. Howard, who thought Yang Shuai was going to catch the ball from the outside and attack, had been deceived by this time.
Rondo's pass came quickly, and Yang Shuai dribbled straight to the inside. If Yang Shuai couldn't dribble without anyone to defend him, the basketball skills he had learned for so long in space would have been in vain.
Nowitzki, who was the closest, no longer cared about Garnett and rushed towards Yang Shuai. After all, if Yang Shuai rushed in like this, there would be no doubt about scoring.
"Dirk made up the defense, is China Yang going to force the ball? The ball was passed, and the ball was passed to Kevin..."
Yang Shuai, who was dribbling forward, pushed the ball to the left, and the ball flew towards Kevin Garnett. Nowitzki, who was about to rush in front of Yang Shuai, quickly stopped and returned to defense, doing the same thing as him.
There is also Howard following behind Yang Shuai.
The ball didn't stay in Garnett's hands at all. After receiving the ball, Garnett pushed with both hands and pushed the ball inside again. Seeing this action, Nowitzki and Howard both thought to themselves: "No!
"
What's wrong? Of course it was Yang Shuai. The two of them pounced on Garnett at the same time. At this time, Yang Shuai was unguarded. Combined with Garnett's pass at this time, how could they not understand it.
Yang Shuai did not stop after passing the ball to Garnett, but continued to run towards the basket. At the same time, he secretly thought: "Old guy, it's up to you!"
Garnett lived up to his expectations. Just when he was about to step into the three-second zone, the ball flew over his head. With a strong push of his legs, Yang Shuai, who jumped high, caught up with the ball that continued to fly toward the basket.
, grabbing the basketball with both hands, Yang Shuai pressed it towards the basket.
"Bang!" Just as all the Celtics expected, the ball was smashed into the basket, and the basketball stand groaned in response, echoing the cheers of the 20,000 spectators at the scene.
"Roar!" Yang Shuai shook his fist and roared.
"Wonderful! Young and Kevin toyed with the Dallas people on this ball, and they played a beautiful two-person teamwork." Mike Breen sighed, while Van Gundy looked at Mark Jackson.
"Mark, you said that Yang scored less than 10 points in this game, but now, he has scored 7 points, with 3 minutes left in the first quarter, and you still think that he can't score 3 points in the next 39 minutes.
Divide?"
Van Gundy's question was met with silence. Even Mark Jackson himself didn't believe it. All he could do was curse the Mavericks players in his heart. These guys really didn't live up to expectations.
Yang Shuai, who was in pretty good shape, played the entire first quarter, scoring 7 points and grabbing 3 rebounds, including two offensive rebounds, and 1 block. His shooting percentage was impressive, 3 of 3 from the field.
The Celtics scored 26 points in the first quarter, leading the Mavericks by 4 points. During this period, handsome young man Yang contributed a lot. No wonder Rivers also patted handsome young man hard when he came off the court.
He raised his shoulder and said encouragingly: "Yang, you did a good job!"
Yang Shuai glanced at the coach and said with some dissatisfaction: "Coach, I think you should say, 'Yang, you did a great job!'"
Rivers was startled, then laughed and said: "Yang, you did a great job!" This kid is always pushing the envelope.
(ps: The weather is constantly hot here, 36 or 7 degrees every day, and I’m very irritated. Are there any brothers who are suffering like this with me?"
