Chapter 375: Too early

It is true that people are in a happy mood when they are happy, and the team wins frequently. As the team's leader, Yang Shuai's status in the league is also rising, so he is naturally in a great mood and shining brightly.

The mood is not only because of the team's progress, but also because of his own progress. After a period of training, his layup reached the top level!

The ability of the super level always brings a lot of surprises to Yang Shuai, and the benefits brought by the super level of the layup are naturally indispensable.

In the past two days, Yang Shuai has had another happy event, and Chu Xiyun came to Oakland from Boston.

The middle of December is coming to an end. Christmas is coming again, the most important annual day for Americans. Chu Xiyun came to Oakland from Boston in advance to celebrate this important festival with Yang Shuai.

After Chu Xiyun arrived, Yang Shuai naturally had to spend more time with the other party when there was no game, but he didn't spend long, because before Christmas, the Warriors had three games left, but two were away.

There is still nothing in Yang Shuai this year's Christmas battle. For Yang Shuai, it will naturally be much easier without a match on Christmas, but for David Stern, such a schedule makes him regret it.

Last year, Yang Shuai made significant progress, but in the entire league, neither the Warriors nor Yang Shuai himself belonged to the top ranks, which also made David Stern almost not consider arranging the Warriors in the Christmas battle.

However, after entering the new season, not only did Yang Shuai's progress exceed expectations, but the Warriors also became the No. 1 team in the league, attracting the attention of many fans for a while. If he had thought that Yang Shuai would perform like this, David Stern would definitely arrange such an eye-catching game as the Warriors vs. the Cavaliers, but now the schedule has been out, and David Stern can't change it rashly.

Yang Shuai did not pay attention to Christmas without his competition. He was ready to accompany Chu Xiyun on Christmas, but before that, he still had three opponents to conquer.

The game against the Washington Wizards at home is not too difficult for the Warriors. The strength of the two teams is there, and the Wizards want to make a bad shot, but they just want to.

The Warriors won the Wizards with 11 points. The Warriors played extremely easily throughout the game. Although they didn't win much after the end of the game, the situation was always controlled by the Warriors.

In this game, the Wizards' power forward Antoine Jamison surprised the Warriors a lot. He scored the highest score of 41 points in the game and had a hot touch in this game, blooming inside and outside, and almost scored as close to the basket and as far as outside the three-point line.

Jamison, who was once under Old Nelson, can be regarded as a versatile player in the position of power forwards. His offensive strength and methods have been praised. Although he has never been included in the ranks of top power forwards in the league, his strength is really not weak.

After defeating the Wizards, after three days of rest, the Warriors left Oakland and came to Memphis. They needed to play against the Grizzlies away. Similar to the Wizards' game, the Grizzlies cannot bring too much trouble to the Warriors at this stage, and the Warriors won easily again.

After the game against the Grizzlies ended, the Warriors had no chance to rest. This time, this time, the Grizzlies were played in the previous game, and the opponent in the second game was the Hornets.

Speaking of Hornets, Chandler is undoubtedly the most touched. His years at the Hornets were the turning point in Chandler's career. Paul's existence allowed him to perform better on the offensive end. However, due to injury last season, Chandler's data fell to the lowest level in recent years, and the Hornets management also lost confidence in him.

Chandler stayed with the Hornets, while Yang Shuai passed by the Hornets. When Yang Shuai left the Celtics in 2008, he was within his consideration, but he stayed at Oakland when he chose Oakland at the first stop.

The New Orleans Hornets, who rose with Paul's rise, are now one of the strong teams in the West. On the days of games, those hardcore fans always come to the New Orleans Arena early, and today they seem to be coming earlier because today's opponent is the Warriors.

As the Warriors' performance becomes stronger and stronger, teams with some strength in the league regard the Warriors as a stare, and the Hornets are no exception. The strength Yang Shuai has shown this season has also won him a lot of fans. These fans are not only in Oakland, but also in various cities in the United States, and New Orleans is naturally no exception.

The city has their own teams and stars, but this does not prevent people from liking other stars, and Yang Shuai is one of them.

When Yang Shuai came to New Orleans, even those fans who didn't like him would pay attention to this game. The idea of ​​these people is very simple. They really want to see what kind of strength Yang Shuai, who is so popular recently, has.

"Brothers, today is the last game before Christmas. Let's give New Orleans a gift." As the game approached, Yang Shuai shouted to his teammates in the locker room with a smile.

"Hey, Young, maybe New Orleans won't like this Christmas gift too much," Evans continued.

Shrugged, Yang Shuai said proudly: "Don't like it? They must not like it, but they cannot refuse."

"Oh oh, kill the Hornets!" "Victory, we want to win!"

Amid the howlings, the Warriors players ran out of the player channel. The scene was already filled with noise. The Hornets' opponent today is the Warriors, the Warriors in the league, and defeating the Warriors is the goal of every team.

"Chris and Yang hugged in the middle of the court. Yang is Chris' friend. They went to China together in the summer, but Chris needs to be wary of his good friend. Yang from China is the most eye-catching star this season. He..." At the scene of the New Orleans Arena, the Hornets' commentator immediately shouted "Don't ask if he's going home after seeing Yang Shuai and Paul hugging and talking on the court.

"Yang, your performance this season is really perverted!"

Yang Shuai was stunned. He never expected that Paul would say the first serious sentence after talking to him would be like this. He smiled and curled his lips and said, "How is it, Chris, are you scared? If you give up voluntarily in this game..."

As soon as Yang Shuai said this, he was interrupted by Paul: "Yang, don't think everything too easily!"

Turning around, the two of them walked towards their own camp.

The Warriors' starting lineup is not much different from the previous game. The center position is Tyson Chandler, the power forward position is Rashid Wallace, small forward Yang Shuai, shooting guard Stephen Jackson, and point guard Paul Pierce.

On the Hornets, the starting center is Emecca Okafor who just joined this season, the power forward is David West, small forward James Percy, shooting guard Morris Peterson, and point guard Chris Paul.

Jumping the ball, Chandler, who was eager to perform in front of his old club, jumped first, but the referee's throwing ball was a little high today. When Chandler started to fall, the ball had not yet fallen into his hands. Okafor, who took the opportunity to ramble the ball into Paul's hand.

In the Hornets, Paul is the only choice to control the ball. As long as he is on the court, almost all the ball is allocated by him. At this time, Paul dribbles to the outside of the three-point line, and no one of the Hornets stepped forward to ask for the ball.

With a slight swaying outside the three-point line, Paul carried the ball to the basket. Hinrich moved his footsteps to stick to Paul, but was thrown away by Paul's continuous rhythm changes. He seized the opportunity of Wallace coming forward to make up for defense, and Paul handed the ball to West.

With a mid-range shot, West's shot fell steadily into the basket and made two points.

The Hornets' first offense was handed over to the inside player, and the Warriors' was no exception. Wallace made a single shot after receiving the ball from the baseline, and Wallace used his signature turn-around and straight-arm jump shot to shoot the ball.

In several consecutive attacks, the players on both sides played tepidly. On the Hornets, Paul was the team's engine. Although the ball was passed from him not every time it was converted into an assist, he excellently connected the team's offense.

On the Warriors' side, Yang Shuai occasionally touched the ball, but he didn't perform much in terms of assists or scores. The Warriors' offense on the court was led by two other outside players, Hinrich and Jackson.

Halfway through the first quarter, both sides began to rotate players. Just like in the previous game, the Warriors' first substitute player to play was Tyrek Evans.

Evans rushed into the inside as soon as he came on the court, causing Okafor's foul. After several consecutive attacks, he chose to break through, either attack or pass the ball to his teammates, causing chaos in the Hornets' defense line.

The two teams have a big attack. Although the Warriors' main scorer Yang Shuai only scored 2 points after most of the quarter, the Warriors' score was not low, and the Hornets were the same.

In the first quarter, there were three minutes left, and Yang Shuai finally had his first exciting performance after the opening.

Evans dribbled through and was prevented as soon as he entered the three-point line. Seeing that he was blocked from the front, he threw the ball out.

Looking at the direction of the ball flying, the Hornets fans suddenly exclaimed. At the bottom line, at some point Yang Shuai had already thrown James Percy away and went straight to the basket.

"Stop that guy!" Amid the screams of Hornets fans, Yang Shuai took the basketball that passed the ball from Evans, took a step forward and came to the basket.

Okafor hurried back quickly jumped up, but as soon as he got off the ground, he found something was wrong. Yang Shuai, who had originally raised his center of gravity, did not jump at all. After a quick turn, Yang Shuai turned from the bottom line to the middle.

On tiptoe slightly, Yang Shuai grabbed the ball and picked it gently, and the ball had already flew towards the rebound.

West, who also rushed back, jumped up, but was half a beat slower, and the ball hit the left side of the rebound and rebounded into the basket.

After a comfortable goal, Yang Shuai ran to the half with a relaxed look on his face, leaving only Okafor and West looking at each other helplessly.

Half a minute later, Yang Shuai was replaced by Stephen Jackson, and he scored only 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter.

After the first quarter, the two teams played 27:27. Without Yang Shuai's performance, the Warriors still did not fall for the disadvantage. However, the Hornets fans at the scene did not think so. They drew with the Warriors in the first quarter, and Yang Shuai's performance was not eye-catching, which made them see hope. If Yang Shuai was not in the form, the Hornets would have a great chance of winning today.

"That guy doesn't seem to be in great shape, it's great. We want to seize the opportunity and defeat the Warriors. I feel excited even if I think about it!"

"Chris had 4 assists in the first quarter, and there was no problem with the double-double today, 15 assists, maybe."

"Victory belongs to our Hornets, and the Oaklanders will definitely not be able to beat us."

...

At the end of the first quarter, Hornets fans were talking, and naturally some of these comments came to the ears of Warriors players.

"Are the New Orleans dreaming about wanting to defeat us? They suffer from the second quarter."

Neither the Hornets fans nor the Warriors players realized that they were too early. The game was only one quarter of the way, and the progress of the game may be far from that simple.^-^138 Reading Network (www.) Read without window^-^
