With 4 wins and 4 losses, the Celtics, the traditional giants of the NBA, did not start the season well. Although the "Celtics" team has the Big Three who won the NBA championship in 2008, it is an unavoidable fact that as these three guys grow older, their dominance on the court also begins to slow down. Slow down.

Ray Allen averaged only 14.2 points per game this season, which is a new low for "Gentleman Ray" since his rookie season. The 35-year-old Garnett is no longer the super forward who can play from the first position to the fifth position. He is exhausted on the court and has long lost the mighty domineering in 2008.

In addition to the Big Three, the Celtics also have an outdated Jermaine O'Neal. Although these guys are famous, in fact, the Celtics lineup is far more famous than powerful.

The aging of the core lineup and the low-key operations of the Celtics in the transfer market in recent years have not improved the strength of this team much. To say that the only surprise may be the birth of Rajon Rondo.

From a little-known low-ranking rookie to one of the best point guards in the league, he has become the real leader of this "green shirt army". Naturally, the collision between Rondo and Yiyang also attracted people's attention.

Last season, Yiyang and Rondo played against each other several times, and it can be said that the two sides won and lost each other. But this year, after seeing Yiyang's great progress, past experience can only be used as a reference, and cannot be used as a criterion for predicting the outcome.

Excellent defense, enviable wingspan, terrifying vision and precise passing, the characteristics of these two guys are so similar that this game dominated by two "old" teams was still considered by ESPN It was selected for the national live broadcast. This shows how much the fans look forward to the matchup between Rondo and Yiyang.

Although the outside world is buzzing about the encounter between the two, Yiyang himself doesn't feel anything about it. Rondo is just another opponent, nothing more. This season, are there still few great names who have been defeated by him?

Treating every opponent with a normal heart is actually the secret of Yiyang's stability. Of course, in the game against the Kings, Yiyang didn't maintain a normal mind, and everyone saw the result. Once this taciturn boy bursts out, his strength is immeasurable.

In the early morning of January 11, the Mavericks players set off from the hotel and went to the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston for training.

In the Mavericks locker room today, all eyes were on one corner now and then. People seem to be buzzing, as if something terrific has happened in the locker room.

But actually,

Nothing happened in the Mavericks locker room, except for one more player changing jerseys.

While the players were whispering to each other, Carlisle, with two bags under his eyes, walked straight into the locker room. Instead of drawing a strategy on the tactical whiteboard as usual, he walked up to the new player and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"I think you all know each other. That's right. Today, we have a new player, Yi Jianlian, in our locker room. He has just been transferred from the Texas Legends. I hope everyone will bring him to familiarize himself with the team. Allow him to integrate into the group more openly. Also, you and him are compatriots, so you should have a lot in common. I will leave it to you to familiarize him with the team."

Carlisle formally introduced Yi Jianlian to other people, and the players in the Mavericks locker room also showed face and applauded for the UAE to show their welcome. Yi Jianlian looked at everyone with a smile, but still seemed a little shy.

Yi Jianlian, this guy really came, which undoubtedly made Lamar Odom feel nervous. But at the moment, he and Kardashian are in a fierce fight, and he has no energy to devote energy to other things. If Yi Jianlian wants to come, let him come... That once all-round warrior has completely sunk now.

"Hey, let it go. Actually, it's no different from the national team here. Jeter likes to joke, Marion likes to talk about his adventures, Dirk usually doesn't talk much, and Kidd is not so serious. Don't be so nervous, everyone You are very welcome."

Seeing Yi Jianlian sitting alone in front of the locker changing jerseys, Yiyang took the initiative to go up to him and brought his compatriots to meet his new teammates.

With Yiyang "paving roads and building bridges" for himself, Yi Jianlian was full of gratitude. Of course, relying on this method, it is also the first time that Yi Jianlian has integrated into a new team so quickly.

In the past, Yi Jianlian seldom talked to his teammates in the locker room, and it was always easy for his teammates to isolate Yi Jianlian wherever he went. It's not that people hate him, but that this big man from China really can't play with others.

But this time, with Yiyang's guidance, Yi Jianlian seemed to be less silent. It is indeed beneficial to have a compatriot playing on the same team as myself.

"Okay guys, cheer up. Boston Celtics, this is a tough team. Although the Big Three of the Celtics are showing signs of fatigue, they are still the best team in the game. Player. Defensively, like we practice, man-to-man press. Don't leave any room for your matchup. If you give him a gap, Rajon Rondo's pass will Send it quickly! Also, there is nothing to say about Rondo's defense. He doesn't let go. If he gets a chance to shoot, let him shoot. But remember, you must not let that guy pop!" See Carlisle Everyone is almost familiar with it, so they began to arrange the tactical thinking of this game.

The biggest difference between Rondo and Yiyang may be reflected in his scoring ability. This season, with Dirk and others intentionally reducing their shots, Yiyang's scoring average has soared to 27.8 points per game. After playing 10 games this season, Yiyang only scored less than 20 in one game. For a point guard whose first priority is passing, this is undoubtedly a super high score.

Although Rajon Rondo averaged a terrifying 11.7 assists per game this season, he averaged only 11.9 points per game. For Yiyang, the all-round scoring method is his biggest advantage when facing Rondo.

Not long after the competition officially started, Yiyang's advantages were fully demonstrated.

On the first goal of the game, Yiyang used Heywood's cover to get inside. Seeing this situation, Garnett, the "Wolf King", immediately defended the basket fiercely. Yiyang took off against Garnett's defense, but in the air, he took the ball around Garnett's back and stuffed it into Novi. Tsky hands.

Nowitzki didn't even jump, and with a light step, he made a steady shot and scored the first point for the Mavericks.

The reason why Yiyang can successfully attract the defense depends on his terrifying finishing ability at the basket. Garnett knows that Nowitzki is a point that must not be shorted, but in the face of Yiyang's breakthrough, he has to choose to defend.

Although the first conceded the ball, the Celtics were not discouraged. From the lineup on paper, the Celtics are still the stronger side. Rondo used a stealthy through pass to give Garnett a chance in the low post. Facing Nowitzki's defense, Garnett decided to turn around and break through.

However, kg, who is no longer young, is not much faster than Nowitzki at this time. He didn't completely erase Nowitzki, but leaned on Nowitzki to force a layup.

Under such resistance, Garnett's layup naturally failed to hit. But at the same time, the referee also blew his whistle. Defensive foul, Garnett has two free throws.

"Tsk." Carlisle, who was sitting on the bench, curled his lips. At the beginning, Nowitzki was called for a foul, which was not a good sign. If Nowitzki has to rest because of foul trouble, the Mavericks don't have much choice at the backup four.

Cardinal's strength is limited, and Odom has completely sunk. As for Yi Jianlian, who just came up from the Development League, no one knows what kind of performance he can play, and no one knows whether he is really the best prepared.

The game continued, and the "Celtics" and the Mavericks played back and forth with each other. Under Yiyang's organization, the Mavericks played a lot of blossoming performances. Marion scored 5 points with an inside cut and a three-pointer. Carter also made a solid mid-range shot after receiving a pass from Yiyang. Haywood plucked green onions in front of O'Neal who was injured all over his body, and received an alley-oop pass from Yiyang and ate a piece of cake.

The Mavericks' offense was going well, but the Celtics had some problems. The problem is not Rondo, the number 9 of the Green Army can still handle the team's offense in an orderly manner. The problem is that after the Celtics players received a pass from Rondo, they couldn't turn the opportunity into a score!

"Rajon Rondo's breakthrough is very lethal. Even a perimeter defender like Yi can hardly contain his footsteps. The Mavericks' defense shrinks. Rondo doesn't look at the pass. He passes the ball to Ray. Allen's hands! Ray, a wide open three-pointer!"

As soon as Mike Breen finished speaking, Ray Allen shot from outside the three-point line. As one of the greatest three-point shooters in NBA history, Ray Allen has made countless key goals in countless difficult situations. But he probably didn't expect that he would miss the ball consecutively today with a wide open!

"Dang!" There was a crisp sound from the basket, and the basketball hit the side edge of the basket and bounced out.

"No!" In the stands of the North Shore Garden Arena, the fans held their heads in disbelief.

"Unfortunately, this is Ray's third consecutive missed shot today. The Celtics played against the Pacers in the last game. Ray Allen made 4 of 5 shots from beyond the arc and scored a team-high 23 points. It seems that Ray's touch was used up in the last game." Mike Breen shook his head slightly disappointed. At this moment, there seemed to be some commotion under the basket.

Garnett and Nowitzki got tangled up as they scrambled for rebounds. In order to protect the defensive rebound, Nowitzki tried his best to shake off Garnett's arm wrapped around him.

As a result, as soon as Nowitzki exerted force, Garnett "smartly" took advantage of the trend. The referee immediately blew his whistle, indicating that Nowitzki fouled for a rebound!

"What!?" After seeing the referee's penalty, Carlisle immediately stood up from the bench and reasoned loudly at the referee.

"Are you kidding? It was Kevin who was entangled with Dirk!" On the court, Marion also immediately ran to the referee to complain.

Everyone knows what kind of virtue Garnett plays on the court, but the referee only believes what his own eyes see.

Although the Mavericks players complained vigorously, once the call was made, it would not be revised. Only 6 minutes into the first quarter, Nowitzki had to be replaced by Carlisle because of two fouls.

Watching Nowitzki walk off the court, Carlisle also walked in front of Odom, hoping that this all-around fighter would try again.

But seeing Odom's empty eyes, Carlisle suddenly changed his plan.

The academic coach stopped in front of Yi Jianlian, and then patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder who joined the team this morning.

"Go to the court, don't be nervous, and perform well!" Yi Jianlian didn't expect that he would get the chance to play so soon, and he was obviously not prepared enough.

Seeing Yi Jianlian stand up and take off his training uniform, Mike Breen on the commentary stage couldn't sit still.

"Yi, coach Carlisle has replaced Yi Jianlian! This is interesting, because this is the first time in NBA history that two Chinese players are on the court at the same time. Let's see if the two Yi can make a difference on the court A hurricane from the east!"

I don't know if this Dirk substitute can successfully perform his job.
