Basketball striker

Back on the court, as Rivers said, when Yang Shuai runs, other Rockets players will pay attention to block it so that McGrady can catch up in time. () I don’t know what Adelman said to McGrady during the timeout.

, anyway, McGrady was very active in defending Yang Shuai during this period.

After the Rockets adjusted the speed, Yang Shuai did encounter some troubles. He didn't even touch the ball in several rounds, but this did not mean that the Celtics' offense would stagnate. Garnett and Pierce were next

It caused a lot of trouble for the Rockets' defense, and Cassel, who came on as a substitute, seemed to be in good offensive shape.

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, Yang Shuai cut to the basket and received a pass from Cassel and laid up calmly, scoring his 10th point. After the quarter, Yang Shuai's technical statistics were quite good, with 4 of 5 shots.

He scored 10 points and had 3 rebounds. The Celtics also led by 4 points at 25:21.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both teams put on substitute players, and the court became a duel between two point guards. Celtics substitute point guard Sam Cassell and Rockets substitute point guard Aaron Brooks

Against Biao, the two scored 8 points each in this quarter.

Yang Shuai, who played the entire first quarter, played more than half of the second quarter before re-entering the game. He once again contributed 4 points and grabbed 1 rebound in 6 minutes. At the end of the half, Yang Shuai made 5 of 7 field goals and 2 free throws.

Made 2 free throws and scored 14 points and 4 rebounds.

The Celtics led by 3 points at 48:45 after halftime. McGrady had a chance to tie the score before halftime, but he missed a three-pointer under Yang Shuai's defense and missed the opportunity.

Yang Shuai's defense was also very good in the first half. McGrady only scored 8 points and he only had 2 assists. Thanks to Yang Shuai's defense, the Celtics did not need too many people to come forward.

By double-teaming McGrady, he will naturally not be able to create many open opportunities.

The Celtics' defensive strategy for McGrady in the first half was very simple. If McGrady got the ball from the outside, Yang Shuai would defend alone. If he wanted to rush to the basket to attack, the center would cover the defense, because no matter whether the Rockets center Mutombo

Neither Chuck Hayes, the substitute, has much offensive power.

This strategy is very simple but very effective. McGrady scored 2 points by relying on layups, 4 points by shooting, and 2 points by free throws, but he used 10 shooting opportunities. However, the Rockets outsiders Alston and Brooks

The point guard's touch was super good, which was the main reason why they were only 3 points behind.

"The second half is about to begin. Judging from the current situation, the Celtics have a great chance of ending the Rockets' winning streak. Although they only lead by 3 points, they are completely dominant on the scene. The Rockets' high shooting percentage is difficult to defeat.

Keep it up in the second half." This was Kenny Smith's argument. His words were agreed by Barkley and Miller, but the three had differences on whether Yang Shuai could continue to play in the second half.

Smith and Barkley believed that Yang Shuai's touch would decline in the second half, but Miller believed that Yang Shuai would most likely maintain the same offensive power in the second half.

After the start of the second half, Yang Shuai did not stand up to prove his condition, because in 5 minutes he did not take a single shot except grabbing 2 rebounds. However, the three people who guessed about the Rockets were all wrong. In the third quarter, the Rockets

The outside touch is still super strong, and even Tracy McGrady hit a three-pointer. Relying on the performance of the outside, they overtook the Celtics in the middle of the third quarter, and the score became 58:60.

The Celtics paused.

“Look what you did, three three-pointers! You allowed these guys in Houston to hit three three-pointers in half a quarter! What about your defense, do you want to be another backdrop for these guys’ winning streak?

Run for me, take out the things from training, help with defense! Make up defense! Change defense!" Rivers, who called a timeout, did not explain the tactics, but started yelling. There was something wrong with the defense that he focused on most this season.

, making him very angry.

"T-Mac broke through, his layup was interfered by Young, the ball bounced out, and the Celtics rebounded."

"Paul Pierce made a pull-up jumper. Yes, the Celtics tied the score and the Celtics began to regain their senses."

"Luis Scola turned around and made a layup, kg, and the big block was sent. The Argentinians underestimated kg's defense."

"Rav Alston took an outside shot, Kendrick made a defense, the ball was lost, and Paul grabbed a backboard."

"Rajian broke through, the ball was handed over to kg, he played hard inside and passed the ball. Yang took a mid-range shot, yes, hit. The Celtics took the lead. Yang scored for the first time in the second half, helping the team regain success.

took the lead.”

"Sean Battier's outside shot was interfered by China Yang, the ball bounced out, and KG grabbed the rebound. Wow, the Rockets' offense is in big trouble."

The scolded Celtics players returned to the court and immediately made adjustments. They were more active on the defensive end, completely suppressing the Rockets' offense, and then started their own offense through transition between offense and defense. In the second half of the third quarter,

The Rockets only scored 5 points, while the Celtics scored 10 points. At 68:65, the Celtics regained a 3-point advantage.

"Hey, Reggie, I guessed both of them correctly, but you only guessed one of them correctly. Young's touch dropped in the second half, and he only made 1 of 3 shots." Barkley smiled.

Reggie Miller Road.

Miller pouted, then grinned and said: "Charles, do you dare to make another bet? Just bet on whether Yang can score 4 points in the fourth quarter and score 20 again."

Barkley said sarcastically: "Reggie, I won't bet on this guy."

Kenny Smith laughed from the side, "Charles is scared of Yang, but Yang hasn't brought you any fines recently, Charles."

No matter what Miller and Smith said, Barkley refused to bet on Yang Shuai anymore, prompting Miller to sarcastically say: "Yang, Charles supports you so much. It would be really disappointing if you don't do something."

Smith immediately said from the side: "Reggie, do you mean to ask Yang to bring some fines to Charles, haha!"

While a few people were chatting, the game had restarted in the fourth quarter. Different from the second quarter, Yang Shuai, who got a chance to rest later in the third quarter, came on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Cassell, House, Yang Shuai, Bowyer, and P.J. Brown formed the Celtics' lineup. Brooks chose a long shot for the Rockets' first offense, but ended up hitting the basket for Yang Shuai.

A rebound was sent and the ball came into Cassel's hands.

Cassell dribbled the ball to half court and then made an emergency stop jumper from outside the three-point line. The ball also missed. Hayes controlled the rebound. This time the Rockets' offense finally succeeded. Bobby, who was transferred from the Hornets before the trade deadline -

Jackson hit a mid-range shot, leaving the two teams with only 1 point.

After Cassel dribbled the ball to half court, he did not rush to attack, but handed the ball to House. Yang Shuai started to move, running from the left three-point line, and took advantage of Bowyer's block to succeed.

He threw away Rockets substitute Mike Harris and received a pass from House at the free throw line.

The ball that Yang Shuai thought would definitely go in hit the inside of the basket and bounced out. Hayes controlled the rebound again.

Running forward from the sideline to prepare for defense, Yang Shuai suddenly heard a Rockets fan not far away shouting, "Hey, Chinese boy, you wiped your butt with your hands during halftime. It smells so bad! Hahaha."

."

This guy's voice was so loud that even if Yang Shuai wanted to hear it, he couldn't help it. He quickly turned his head, and handsome guy Yang saw the faces covered with beards. He raised his brows slightly and continued to run towards the half court.

.

"What a shameless guy. This kid is far worse than Yao Ke." When the bearded man saw Yang Shuai leaving, he smiled proudly. Yao Ming, who was not far away, also heard his words and frowned slightly.

Bobby Jackson wanted another one, and this time Eddie House successfully interfered. The ball bounced out of the basket and Bowyer grabbed the rebound.

After Cassel dribbled the ball past halftime, Yang Shuai, who was standing outside the three-point line, suddenly started running towards the other side of the three-point line. Because Yang Shuai did not attack much in the second half, no one from the Rockets came up at this time.

Helping Harris defend, Yang Shuai successfully got rid of Harris outside the three-point line, and then opened his hand to ask Cassel for the ball.

Cassel did not hesitate and passed the ball over immediately, but at this time, Harris was already close. During the run just now, Yang Shuai had the opportunity to pull to the top of the arc to catch the ball, but he did not do so.

Instead, he ran to the three-point line on this side, close to the three-point line on the Rockets bench.

After receiving the ball and taking off, Yang Shuai faced Harris's defense and took off to shoot. With his height and leaping advantage, he would not be blocked by Harris, but when he shot, Harris's hand still came to his face.

Staring straight ahead, Yang Shuai seemed not to feel Harris' hand at all. He jumped up and shot calmly.

"Whoa!" After Yang Shuai landed, the basketball went into the basket and made a hollow hit!

"Yang, did you take a three-point shot? Yes! Three-point shot, no problem!"

"Yang, great job! A hollow three-pointer hit, and the Celtics successfully widened the point difference to 4 points. Yang... Hey, Yang, what is he doing?" Kenny Smith had just finished speaking, Miller's

The voice rang out, but halfway through, his attention was diverted by what happened on the field.

After the basketball got into the basket, the handsome boy Yang turned around, pointed his finger at the bearded guy who just yelled and shouted: "Shout! Shout louder, I will score the goal."

, have you seen that guy with a mouth that smells worse than shit? This ball is used to plug your broken mouth!"

The Rockets fans, who had only booed lightly at first, burst into boos when they saw Yang Shuai's actions. The referee also rushed over at this time and gave Yang Shuai a technical foul without hesitation. Yang Shuai

There was no rebuttal. After the referee blew the whistle, he began to withdraw his defense as if nothing had happened.

Everyone on the Rockets bench heard what Yang Shuai shouted clearly, and then they all subconsciously pointed their eyes at Yao Ming. Yao Ming could only smile bitterly, "Yang Shuai's temper is really..."

"Yang was provoking the fans and got a technical foul! This guy has the most technical fouls among this rookie class. Did that fan just do something to him? Why did Yang just point at this fan and yell at him?"

Kenny Smith wanted to discuss why Yang Shuai made such a move, but Reggie Miller on the side smiled and interrupted: "Hey, Kenny, I think we should pay attention to the following things. Yang was just praised for his skills.

He committed a foul and was not ejected, but I don’t think Mr. Stern will let him off easily.”

Smith reacted immediately, pointed at Barkley and said: "Charles..."

"Yes, Charles, are you ready to bleed? How much fine will David Stern give Young? Well, how about a total of fifty thousand dollars?" Miller looked at Barkley.

shouted with gloating.

Barkley remained silent after Yang Shuai was called for a technical foul. He kept cursing Yang Shuai from the bottom of his heart. What a careless guy. When he heard Miller's words, he finally couldn't help but cursed out: "Thunder

Ji, you are such a bad mouther."
