One Guard

Chapter 476: Superstar level player

The footage of Yiyang hooking his fingers at the Celtics bench was broadcast to the screens of every fan around the world through advanced television broadcast technology. The on-site photographer immediately gave Terry a close-up. Terry had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't know whether he felt excited or proud.

Just when Yiyang completed a violent dunk, Terry almost couldn't help but jump up and wave a towel. But when he saw the Celtics training uniform he was wearing, Terry suddenly remembered his identity.

It's not that Terry doesn't like Bradley, Bradley is also a diligent and good young man. It's just the impulse in Terry's blood that always makes him want to applaud Yiyang's outstanding performance.

Yiyang's buckle undoubtedly broke the hearts of the local media in Boston. Before the game started, they hyped that Bradley's defense would make Yiyang suffer. But now, less than three minutes into the game, Yiyang shattered the Bostonians' illusions.

The fans in the stands were also very worried. They were dunked at the beginning. They didn't know if Bradley's psychology would be affected. If the confidence of the No. 0 defender completely collapsed, maybe North Shore Garden would not be able to escape a massacre today.

Fortunately, Bradley's willpower is indeed very strong. Although he was dunked brutally, he was still diligent on the defensive end. It's just the gap in strength between the two sides that makes it difficult for Bradley to achieve any substantial results even if he tries his best. Bradley is just a backup defender in the Celtics team. If it weren't for Rondo's injury, he would never have gotten the chance to start. And his opponent is a superstar on the MV candidate list.

The game lasted five minutes, and Bradley's hard defense didn't seem to put any pressure on Yiyang at all. Pierce used his steady mid-range shooting to bite the score, but everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before the Celtics were defeated if this continued.

Nowitzki, Collison, Carter and others have not yet exerted their strength. When the Mavericks' offense is fully opened, the Celtics are unable to make a comeback even if they want to counterattack.

When Yiyang scored his eighth point of the day with a beautiful breakaway jumper over Bradley's head, Doc Rivers finally couldn't sit still. He stopped the game and used his ugly voice to ask the players to come down quickly. The method of relying on defense to contain Yiyang seems to be unworkable. What the Celtics need now is not a defensive strength, but an offensive point that can lighten Pierce's burden!

Rivers looked at the bench, and now only that guy is the most suitable to play such a role. So, the former champion coach walked up to a defender wearing a headband and stockings.

"Jet, go up and go crazy!"

"The Celtics will definitely strengthen their offense next. Kaman, pay attention to the defense inside. I don't want to see Garnett score easily. Sean,

Press Pierce and use up his energy. Vince, I want you to keep an eye on Courtney Lee. No matter where he goes, you have to bite him! As for that, if Rivers replaces Jeter, you know what to do! "On the other side, on the Mavericks bench, Carlisle had already anticipated the changes Rivers was about to make. He told the players to strengthen their defense to resist the Celtics' subsequent storm-like crazy attack.

A large part of the reason why the Jazz forced the Celtics into a desperate situation in the last game was because Tyrone Corbin guessed Rivers' arrangement. Maybe Rivers himself doesn't know it yet, but in fact, those moves of his have now been seen through by all coaches in the league. There is no way, after losing Rondo, Rivers only has a few cards in hand. No matter how great you are, you can't do unlimited things with limited resources.

After returning from the timeout, the fans cheered wildly. Terry, a 35-year-old guy, was treated like a superstar. He's the kind of player who is loved by fans wherever he goes. Terry's popularity soared in Boston with his stunning performance against the Jazz in the last game.

Seeing Terry play, Yiyang finally became excited. I know you won't be soft Jeter, and neither will I!

After the timeout, the Celtics had the ball, and Terry controlled the ball to launch an attack. Yiyang's blood boiled with enthusiasm. This feeling was as wonderful as the first time he faced Kobe.

In the Celtics, Terry played more as a number one position. He did not struggle with Yiyang, but handed the ball to Courtney Li as soon as it passed the center line.

After Terry passed the ball, he did not stand still and watch the show. Instead, he suddenly accelerated and passed by Yiyang. This guy wanted to find opportunities through aggressive running without the ball!

Yiyang quickly turned around to catch up, but met Garnett who came to pick and roll. Although Garnett is old, he definitely doesn't play much cleaner than before. The moment Yiyang and himself collided, KG's arm secretly exerted force and directly knocked Yiyang to the ground with huge inertia.

The referee did not see Garnett's little move and considered it a reasonable collision. At this point, Terry received the basketball again and decisively shot a three-pointer without being marked. Whitecaps formed on the net, Terry opened his arms, and the jet took off!

"Hahahaha, the amazing Jason Terry! As soon as he came on the court, he brought points to the Celtics! He and KG have a very tacit understanding. Although KG's pick-and-roll just now was suspected of being illegal. But the referee said It was a good shot and the game must respect his decision."

Yiyang rubbed his chest, that guy Garnett was really ruthless. However, for Yiyang, who has experienced the baptism of Wood Street Stadium and playoffs, this kind of standard is not unacceptable to him. If he pressed Terry from the beginning, Terry would not be able to score. Garnett's dirty play cannot be used as an excuse for his defensive failure.

In the next attack, Yiyang obviously felt that it would be much more difficult for him to break through under Terry's defense. In terms of defensive ability, Terry may not be as good as Bradley. But there may be no one in this league who understands Yiyang's playing habits better than Terry. After all, many of Yiyang's things were taught by Terry.

He knows what distance he needs to keep from Yiyang to prevent him from breaking through, and he also knows within what range he can interfere with Yiyang's shooting in a timely manner. The two struggled for five seconds outside the three-point line, but Yiyang didn't get the slightest chance! Ever since that day when he scored 62 points, Yiyang seemed to have never encountered such a situation.

Yiyang saw that there were some difficulties in singles, so he chose to pass the ball to Nowitzki. After Nowitzki held the ball, Garnett immediately followed up and continued to interfere with the German offense by grabbing the jersey.

Terry followed Yiyang closely. He knew that if he let Yiyang catch the basketball, half of his defense would be a failure.

But the fact is that it is difficult for the 35-year-old Terry to keep up with the 22-year-old Yiyang. Yiyang suddenly ran back twice in a row, and Terry, who was concentrating on it, was also deceived.

Diving to the mid-range position on the right side of the basket, Nowitzki passed the ball. Yiyang held the ball with both hands, staring at the basket, preparing to take action.

Terry took off with all his strength. He said he wouldn't show mercy, and he definitely wouldn't show mercy! An easy shot? Stop having such wishful thinking, you brat!

Seeing Terry take off, Yiyang's lips curled up slightly. Unexpectedly, the cunning Jet was deceived by a junior.

"Yi's fake shot was very realistic. He lit up Terry and went straight to the basket! Garnett was pulled to the mid-range by Derick, and he would definitely not be able to get back. Brandon Bass covered the basket. , and directly leaned on Bass with his arms raised for a layup!"

Brandon Bass is indeed a strong player. His enthusiasm and soft touch allow him to find his own position on both offense and defense. But with a height of only 2.03 meters, he, a short insider, has been criticized for protecting the basket.

Yiyang, the point guard, was only ten centimeters shorter than him, so it was effortless to lean on Buss for a layup.

Yiyang's breakthrough was effective again. When returning to defense, Yiyang made a one-on-one gesture to Terry. Terry shook his head, what a difficult kid!

"It's 10 points in a single quarter, and Yi's crazy scoring performance continues. Although Jeter is more experienced, he doesn't seem to have much to do when facing Yi with various offensive methods. Now the Celtics' only option is Against the Mavericks, relying on defense, they can't be defended."

The purpose of Rivers replacing Terry was to attack Yiyang. Terry's recent performance is indeed outstanding, averaging 16.8 points per game in three games, and has become the Celtics' second scoring point. But Yiyang's scoring average in the past month is a terrifying 32.2! Terry can't guard Yiyang on defense, but can he beat him on offense?

Garnett actively took position in the paint, but the old and frail Garnett missed a layup under Dirk's desperate defense. Fortunately, Brandon Bass was active enough and got an offensive rebound for the Celtics. The ball returned to the outside and Terry regrouped.

At this time, Courtney Lee got smart out of the chaos, and while everyone was focusing on Terry and Buzz, he quietly reached the right corner! He raised his hand to ask for the ball, and if he succeeded, he had to take action before Carter's defense came up again!

Terry raised the basketball and threw it hard, but Carter suddenly came out and changed the trajectory of the basketball with his hands.

But due to the suddenness of the incident, Carter did not hold the ball. The ball does not belong to any party now, and all the strong men are rushing towards the small basketball.

Yiyang was not afraid of the aggressive crowd. He jumped directly to the ground, stretched out his body, and took the lead in grabbing the ball into his arms.

At the same time, Garnett's whole body was pressed against Yiyang, hoping to win a chance to compete for the ball. Being pinned down by 115 kilograms of Garnett is not a pleasant feeling. But he still persisted, holding the ball tightly to his chest and unwilling to let go.

Amid the chaos, the referee finally awarded Garnett a foul for fighting for the ball. Since the Celtics' foul count has expired, Yiyang will go directly to the free throw line.

In response, Garnett angrily roared at the referee. But through the replay on the big screen, the fans felt that the referee had given Garnett a lot of face by giving him a common foul.

On the floor, Garnett did everything he could to get the ball against Yiyang. Elbow strikes, overhead strikes, rough pulling, smashing... For those who didn't know, I thought the two were UFC fighters. These floor skills should not appear on the basketball court.

After Yiyang got up, he ignored Garnett and went directly to the free throw line. Terry is a little worried about Yiyang's situation, but it's not easy for him to care about Yiyang as a Celtics player now.

Standing on the free throw line, the fans booed like a huge wave. Yiyang's heart is as calm as water. You guys boo me just because you are afraid! North Shore Garden, I want to make a reservation today!

Take a deep breath, raise your hands, and shoot. Yiyang's free throws are very coherent and not sloppy.

After the ball was scored, Terry came up with a smile and high-fived Yiyang. It wasn't until Garnett gave Terry an angry look that Terry remembered he was wearing a Celtics jersey.

Terry shook his head helplessly, and then retracted his hand. Habits become natural, habits become natural...

Seeing this scene, Carlisle on the sidelines couldn't help laughing. In the cold NA arena, warm human touch is actually everywhere. Not everyone is part of the Big Three of the Green Army, and they are all extremely jealous after the separation.

The story of Terry and Yiyang has not come to an end yet...

With Garnett unable to stop Yiyang even with all his floor skills, it is simply a fantasy for the Celtics to still want to win.

The Celtics never took the lead throughout the game. Apart from being ruthless, Garnett made little substantial contribution to the team.

Bradley and Terry took turns playing, but still couldn't curb Yiyang's performance. This duel, which Yiyang attaches great importance to, has entered garbage time early. But Yiyang was very satisfied to be able to play happily with Terry on the court.

In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, when Carlisle, who was leading by 20 points, replaced Yiyang early, no one in the Boston local media commentators was embarrassed to speak.

34 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. It seems that Bradley's restraining effect on Yiyang is not as obvious as they said before the game. Those boasts before the game have now turned into loud slaps on their faces.

Don't just compare any player with Yiyang. This year, he is the one who may finally win the regular season MV after James.

That stupid young boy has long been among the league's top stars. It's just that his progress is so fast that it's hard for people to accept it for a while.
