Basketball striker

While the outside world is speculating on whether Yang Shuai will be there, Rivers has already decided all this after moving from Santonio to Houston. The person is Yang Shuai!

Yang Shuai performed well as a substitute, but he was even better on the field. Rivers couldn't help but notice this, and it was indeed a tactical need to bring Yang Shuai up against Tracy McGrady. Even if Ray Allen was not injured, Yang Shuai would not be able to win this game.

The playing time in the game will not be too short. () Starting

After receiving the news that he would play, Yang Shuai was so excited that Garnett even joked: "Hey, kid, don't get too excited." The Celtics players all laughed.

Yang Shuai got too excited when he replaced Paul Pierce in the first game, and was later forced to the bench by Rivers to calm down.

Yang Shuai shrugged and asked: "Old guy, do you think I am such a useless guy? Wait and see, you will be surprised in this game. If your score is not as high as mine, hey, after returning to Boston

You have to pick up balls for me for a week."

Garnett chuckled and said disdainfully: "Boy, don't be too arrogant. T-Mac is not easy to deal with. Although he is no longer what he used to be, you still have to figure out how to deal with him first."

Yang Shuai curled his lips. This was not his first time. Moreover, after another month, his progress was unimaginable by others. Yang Shuai was indeed very confident, because his ability was so important in this important game.

There was a qualitative improvement before the game. Twenty-five days had passed since his blocked shots were improved. He once again passed a level and his three-pointers were upgraded to an advanced level.

Yang Shuai even thought with pride that if he ran out of the three-point line again and again to receive passes from teammates and hit three-pointers, would the Rockets think that he was possessed by Ray Allen? Yang Shuai's

The three-pointer is an advanced level, and it is still a little behind Ray Allen's three-pointer which is infinitely close to the super level. However, if you take into account the condition, it's hard to say which of the two is more accurate. Three-pointer, this is Yang Shuai's confidence.

As for the origin of defense, dunks and so on, Yang Shuai is already very familiar with it.

The game between the Celtics and the Rockets attracted the attention of many people. This time it was not because of the Chinese Derby. Yao Ming's inability to play made the Chinese Derby an empty talk. What attracted attention was no longer two people, but two teams.

The Celtics, with 54 wins and 12 losses, are first in the Eastern Conference and first in the league. As for the Rockets, their victory over the Lakers at home not only gave them a 22-game winning streak, but also allowed them to overtake the Lakers and become first in the Western Conference.

The throne. This is a showdown between the top two teams in the East and West, and it is also a blockade for the Celtics, who are first in the league, against the Rockets, who are gaining momentum and are continuing their winning streak. How could such a game not attract attention?

"Welcome to the 2007-08 NBA regular season. Today's matchup is between the Boston Celtics and the Houston Rockets. After Rick Adelman took over, the Houston Rockets' offense has improved a lot. They previously won

An astonishing 22-game winning streak. However, today they faced the Boston Celtics, who have the best record in the league and also the best defense. Can the winning streak continue? I am Kenny Smith, and beside me is my

Partnering with Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley."

"Let's take a look at both sides... Yang Shuai! It's Yang indeed. Wow, this is really an interesting arrangement. Charles, Yang hasn't caused you much trouble recently. Do you need to support him in this game?

"Kenny Smith turned to Charles Barkley after seeing Yang Shuai's name.

Barkley nodded and said: "Yes, I have to support this kid. I'm not sure if he will cause trouble for me after the game if he knows that I don't support him."

"Hahaha!" Smith and Miller both laughed. Of course they understood what trouble Barkley was talking about, which meant that Barkley was going to bleed.

The Rockets are center Dikembe Mutombo, power forward Luis Scola, small forward Sean Battier, shooting guard Tracy McGrady, and point guard Rafael Alston-Kay.

Celtics center Kendrick Perkins, power forward Kevin Garnett, small forward Paul Pierce, shooting guard Yang Shuai, and point guard Rajon Rondo.

Dikembe Mutombo and Kendrick Perkins jumped the ball. The old Mutombo defeated Perkins and took the lead to get the ball for the Rockets. Alston dribbled the ball after half court.

The ball was handed over to McGrady. One reason was that all the players on the team were in good shape during the Rockets' 22-game winning streak. Another reason was McGrady's role. Although McGrady's scoring in these games was not outstanding, he managed the team very well.

The attack is organized.

Rivers also made arrangements for this today. Tracy McGrady left it to Yang Shuai to defend. Unless he broke through to the basket for a layup, the Celtics did not need to double-team. Even if they went to the basket, they would only be inside, especially the center.

Pinch, outside players do not need to shrink the defense.

"Tracy, we meet again, but today is different. You will be surprised after the game." While McGrady was observing the position of his teammates with the ball, Yang Shuai, who was slightly bent over, said with a smile.

McGrady did not lower his head to look at Yang Shuai, his eyes seemed to be wandering. He chewed gum and said, "Okay, Yang, let me see what kind of surprise you can bring me."

McGrady suddenly started using the speed of his first step to press Yang Shuai and rush towards the inside. Yang Shuai, who had played against McGrady before, was also prepared. Although McGrady was moving forward, Yang Shuai was always on the straight line of him rushing to the basket. Look.

McGrady did not have a suitable offensive opportunity, and the Rockets players did not stand and wait for McGrady's pass. Several players began to run in and out.

Adelman's Princeton offense is indeed one of the best offensive systems in the league. Scola got a chance. After Tracy McGrady passed the ball to Alston, the Argentine received Alston's pass from the high post and shot.

.

"Okay, your performance has ended before it even started. It's my turn next." After the transition between offense and defense, Yang Shuai still faced off against Tracy McGrady. The handsome boy Yang had a smile on his face, but his body moved quickly.

He got up and was very excited to be in the lineup again, but this time he would not be overly excited. When he was practicing just now, he felt that his hand was very good. Now it is time to test it.

Yang Shuai replaced Ray Allen, and he also took over the opponent's role on the offensive end, using non-stop movement to tear open the opponent's defense. In fact, Yang Shuai's movement at this time was not very good, and his intermediate offensive awareness allowed him to

He is still far behind a running master like Ray Allen.

But his defensive player is Tracy McGrady. Ever since he became famous, Tracy McGrady, who used to have good defensive ability on the wing, has left his defense to his grandma's house. During the Van Gundy period, his defensive enthusiasm was questioned. It is conceivable that Adel, who does not pay attention to defense,

What kind of performance has he had since Man arrived?

No Celtics player even took the initiative to help Yang Shuai cover, but Yang Shuai changed his running route, and he successfully threw McGrady away from the three-point line and got an open space.

Rondo has grown rapidly this season. Although he still occasionally loses his composure, most of the time he can always deliver the basketball to his teammates in the open space. This time is no exception. Yang Shuai just ran out of the open space and received the pass.

ball.

After getting the ball, without any hesitation, Yang Shuai took off and shot directly from outside the three-point line. McGrady rushed over with his hands raised, but this obviously did not have any impact on Yang Shuai.

"Whoa!" The ball flew out of Yang Shuai's hand and instantly penetrated the basket, making a crisp sound.

"Young scored the Celtics' first goal. Tracy had no defense at all. I think this is what Doug wanted to see most. Young, will he be a surprise player for the Celtics in this game?

?”

Because the game had just started, a goal obviously wouldn't make people too excited, except for one person, and that was Yang Shuai. After he made the shot, he knew that his touch was really good today, which made him extremely excited.

In the past few months, it has been proven many times that when Yang Shuai is excited, he always performs better, and this time is no exception. McGrady once again took the ball and was defended by Yang Shuai. Scola took the initiative

After stepping forward for a pick-and-roll, McGrady broke through and passed the ball to the Argentinian.

Scola shot again, but this time he did not get a comfortable shot. After switching defenses with Garnett, although Yang Shuai was a step slower, he arrived in time to interfere when Scola shot.

"The backboard is mine too!" As soon as his foot landed, Yang Shuai accelerated towards the basket. Perkins and Muttom were playing games in the paint, preparing to fight for the basketball that was bumping on the basket. Yang Shuai, who was inserted from behind, was already high.

He leaped high and roared to grab the ball as soon as it left the basket.

"Fast break!" After landing, Yang Shuai quickly found Rondo, and Yang Shuai ran forward with all his strength. Ten people quickly advanced towards the other half. McGrady and Scola misplaced the defense, and he and Garnett first

One step fell inside, leaving the task of defending Yang Shuai to Scola.

Yang Shuai's speed is indeed not fast, but Scola is not much faster. The Argentine's only advantage is that he starts earlier as he is closer to the outside. After passing the half-court, Yang Shuai did not speed up anymore, but went to the left

He ran sideways, then stopped outside the three-point line, waving towards Rondo for the ball.

Rondo, who was stopped by Alston at the top of the arc, wanted to pass the ball to Garnett inside. After all, Garnett had a height advantage over Tracy McGrady. At this time, seeing Yang Shuai facing a choice when he wanted the ball, he still passed the ball horizontally.

The pass was thrown towards Yang Shuai, but his eyes still stayed on Garnett.

As an inside player, Scola seems to still maintain his habit when retreating from defense. If an outside defender sees Yang Shuai stopping outside the three-point line, his first reaction may be that Yang Shuai will be able to get an outside attack.

Opportunity, but what Scola wanted at this time was to go inside to help defend Garnett. Perhaps Rondo's eyes also deceived him.

"Pounce!" Seeing Yang Shuai take the ball outside the three-point line, Rockets defensive core Shane Battier shouted at Scola, but the Argentine's reaction speed was still half a beat slow, waiting for him to return to Yang

When Shuai is next to him, he can only watch Yang Shuai calmly take shots from outside the three-point line.

"If you dare to leave me open, you will be taught a lesson." Yang Shuai raised the corner of his mouth slightly and jumped up without hesitation.

"Shit, does this guy think he is Ray Allen?" "Shooting one shot is already lucky, but this guy actually wants to make the second one?" "You can't get in, kid."

The Rockets have won 22 consecutive games. Their attendance has skyrocketed compared to previous seasons, and it was even more packed today. These Rockets fans have no intention of applauding Yang Shuai because he is a compatriot of Yao Ming.

"Ugh!" When the sound of scratching sounded, the Rockets fans who were noisy a moment ago opened their mouths wide, but in the end they just spit out one word, "***!" "This guy is really lucky."

"The second three-pointer! Beautiful. Young contributed two three-pointers in the opening game. His touch looks extremely hot. Two three-pointers. Is he possessed by Ray Allen?" on Kenny Smith

While exclaiming, Yang Shuai gently blew his fingers and smiled proudly: "The advanced three-pointer is just different!"
