"Hey, t-mac, are you sleeping on the court again?" Barkley joked.
Reggie Miller interrupted at this time: "Charles, actually it might be a good thing that T-Mac doesn't pay attention to Yang."
Barkley looked at Reggie Miller with some doubts, and Kenny Smith was no exception. Miller chuckled and said: "If he completely gives up guarding Yang and lets Yang score 20, haha, I believe this will be very...
An interesting thing.”
"No, no, no, Reggie, you can't be so bad." Barkley shook his head and shouted.
Yang Shuai's highest scoring record so far is 14 points, and it only happened once. In the last game, Yang Shuai only scored 9 points after playing for nearly 30 minutes. 20 points is a bit far away from Yang Shuai in the eyes of many people.
Handsome Yang knows that as long as his offense improves a little bit, it will not be difficult to score 20 points.
"Tracy, don't underestimate my compatriots," Yao Ming reminded aloud as he and Tracy McGrady ran forward.
McGrady shrugged and said, "Yao, I'm just giving your teammates a chance to perform first."
Yao Ming nodded and didn't say much. McGrady's defensive enthusiasm has always been like this, and he has become accustomed to it.
Even he himself doesn't know whether McGrady will put pressure on Yang Shuai on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, he has a strong intention to compete with Yang Shuai. Of course, he knows that Kobe Bryant was made by the rookie in front of him in the last game.
He had gone through a lot of trouble, but he still maintained a skeptical attitude. The best way would be to experience it himself.
Yao Ming was being watched very hard in the paint at this time. When Alston saw McGrady asking for the ball, he naturally handed the ball to him. In fact, in the past few years, McGrady was the first choice point of attack.
McGrady's iconic one-handed ball was held outside the three-point line, leaning sideways against Yang Shuai to observe the Celtics' defense, and then suddenly turned around and headed towards the three-point line.
McGrady almost pressed Yang Shuai and rushed inward. Unlike James who relies entirely on strength, and unlike Wade who relies solely on speed, McGrady is not the strongest in either, but his breakthrough seems to completely combine the two, but this
Neither is the most important.
The most important thing about McGrady's breakthrough was the suddenness. One second, Yang Shuai could feel that the opponent's body was very relaxed, and the next second, Yang Shuai had already felt that the opponent had come to his side. Suddenly, Yang Shuai couldn't even feel it.
Didn't have time to make much preparation.
Although he was deceived by McGrady's sudden move, Yang Shuai's defensive awareness was there after all. He reacted quickly and leaned sideways against McGrady's side. At the same time, he also looked inside. He knew that he was suppressed by McGrady's first step.
After that, it was already difficult for him to stop the opponent from rushing to the inside, but he believed that his teammates would step forward in time to help defend at this time.
Yang Shuai was right. When he saw McGrady rushing towards the inside, Pierce immediately stepped forward to help defend. The injuries in the past two years have caused McGrady's athletic ability to begin to decline, and his previously extremely lethal straight line has also been weakened.
The power of breakthrough has been weakened a lot.
Seeing that McGrady was about to fall into the double-team of Pierce and Yang Shuai, he suddenly lifted the ball, then leaned on Yang Shuai and pushed the ball to the left.
"T-Mac passed the ball to Yao Ming, and faced Garnett's defense and made a mid-range jump shot. Beautiful, the ball went in!"
After scoring two goals after the opening, Yao Ming scored again. His 3-for-3 shooting rate showed that he felt very good today. This also made the fans in front of the screen secretly happy. What could be better than Yao Ming and Yang Shuai?
The better they both perform, the better they will be.
"Yang Shuai, one more!" Perhaps knowing the thoughts of the fans in front of the screen, the host of the imperial TV station shouted, and his words were immediately recognized by the fans. It was definitely not just one or two fans who had this kind of mentality.
, when Yang Shuai ran back, suddenly someone shouted from the sidelines: "Yang Shuai, come on!"
"Yang Shuai!" "Yang Shuai!" The Chinese fans at the scene shouted Yang Shuai's name in unison, making Yang Shuai very excited. One more, no problem!
Seeing Rondo dribbling to outside the three-point line, Yang Shuai started running non-stop, but this time McGrady was obviously more prepared. He kept running with Yang Shuai to prevent the opponent from getting too easy.
Opportunity to catch the ball.
Several Celtic players also cooperated and opened up space for Yang Shuai to run. Garnett and Pierce even stepped sideways from time to time to help Yang Shuai block people.
Rushing past Garnett, with a sudden cross-step, Yang Shuai took a step away from McGrady and took a step inside the three-point line to receive Rondo's pass.
McGrady suddenly showed a completely different defensive enthusiasm from the previous ball. Seeing Yang Shuai lift the ball, he pounced on it fiercely.
"Oh! t-mac tried his best, Yang, fake action! Yang actually shook t-mac away!"
Yang Shuai's shot was just a fake move. After McGrady pounced on him, he dribbled straight from the side and rushed to the inside.
"Woohoo!" "Woohoo!" A whistle suddenly sounded from the sidelines. Yang Shuai's attack is really rare, but the die-hard Celtic fans still have a vague sense of familiarity. In Seattle, Yang Shuai dazzled Durant like this.
Rand, this scene shocked the fans in front of the screen.
Without giving the Rockets a chance to defend, Yang Shuai took a big step forward, then jumped up and glided toward the basket.
"boom!"
"Yang Shuai, gliding chop, good shot!"
"Yang...handsome!"
While the DJ at the scene shouted Yang Shuai's name loudly, after Yang Shuai fell from the basket, he swung his fist down hard, then raised his hands high and roared to the sky.
Having stayed around Garnett and others for a long time, and coupled with his arrogant personality, Yang Shuai has learned a lot about mobilizing atmosphere.
"Yang!" "Yang!" "Yang Shuai!" "Silver Killer!" Deafening cheers echoed in the North Shore Garden Arena.
"It's so beautiful, gliding chop. We often see black people do this action. Today, we finally saw a Chinese do it! Beautiful! Yang Shuai's jumping is amazing." the host of the imperial TV station exclaimed.
It’s no secret that Yang Shuai’s dunks are good, but it’s the first time he’s shown it in front of so many people like today. His advanced jumping and dunking gave Yang Shuai a chance to fully perform.
Yang Shuai's lack of ability to attack with the ball has confused many opponents, so that when Yang Shuai broke through with the ball, no one on the Rockets had time to cover up. Yao Ming and Hayes both moved slightly after Yang Shuai jumped up, but
In the end, neither of them stepped forward. They knew very well that going up at this time was just a foul.
Being hit by Yang Shuai twice in a row, McGrady was a little embarrassed. After halftime, he blocked Yang Shuai at the free throw line and took the initiative to ask for the ball. After getting the ball, McGrady once again wanted to break through directly, but this time
He was much more prepared to return to Yang Shuai. He was already prepared and got stuck on McGrady's breakthrough route one step ahead.
Compared with Kobe's breakthrough, McGrady's breakthrough was more sudden, but the change of direction was much less. Although Yang Shuai was stuck in front, McGrady seemed to have no intention of changing direction, but kept his head down and continued to rush forward. Just then
When Yang Shuai was about to fight McGrady with all his strength, McGrady suddenly jumped up and then threw the ball before Yang Shuai could take off.
Pull-up jumper! This was the first time that Yang Shuai faced McGrady's pull-up jumper. Just like his breakthrough, McGrady's pull-up jumper was so sudden that Yang Shuai had no time to take off to interfere. Yang Shuai raised his hand, and then
The body is close to McGrady's body, hoping to interfere with the opponent's shooting.
McGrady's shooting arc was very low. The ball hit the inside of the basket and did not fall into the basket. Instead, it bounced out directly. Yang Shuai rushed over in time and jumped up while Garnett and Yao Ming were entangled.
Got the rebound.
Battier posted the ball in time to prevent Yang Shuai from launching a fast break. Yang Shuai's passing skills were quite average. In order to prevent the opponent from intercepting the ball, he took the safest method and held the ball in his arms.
After the other Rockets players retreated, Battier also ran away from Yang Shuai, the ball was handed to Rondo, and the Celtics organized the offense.
Yang Shuai wanted to repeat his old tricks again, but McGrady was determined to defend him this time. Although he received the ball, Yang Shuai did not have a good opportunity to attack, so he had to hand the ball to Garnett who was stuck inside.
In the hand, the person then pulls it to the bottom line.
Just when the Rockets players thought the ball would go to Garnett alone, Yang Shuai, who was originally running outside the three-point line, turned around and ran along the baseline toward the basket.
Seeing this scene, all Celtic fans reacted. This is one of the tactics the team uses in almost every game, but it is very effective. Whether it is Ray Allen or Yang Shuai, when they get Garner
When the special hand-to-hand pass rushes to the basket, the success rate is as high as 80%.
McGrady was completely confused by Yang Shuai's actions at this time. When he caught up, he could only see Yang Shuai and Garnett passing by, while he was blocked by Garnett.
Garnett was in a deeper position this time. After Yang Shuai got the ball, he didn't have much room to run. With a push of his foot, Yang Shuai held the ball with both hands and put it towards the basket.
However, at this moment, he suddenly saw a palm with skin similar to his appearing on the side. The big hand touched the ball in his hand. Yang Shuai, who was in the air, had almost no room to adjust and could only watch the palm slap.
on his ball.
"Yao Ming! Yao Ming blocked Yang Shuai's dunk! A head-to-head confrontation between two Chinese players! Yang Shuai tasted Yao's hot pot."
The moment the ball left Yang Shuai's hand, the fans both at the scene and in front of the screen were in a commotion. They were looking forward to a head-on showdown between Yang Shuai and Yao Ming, but they did not expect that it would be such a situation. Yao Ming blocked it head-on.
Yang Shuai's dunk.
The ball hit Yang Shuai and fell out of bounds. However, Yang Shuai's big hands were still pressed on the basket. However, this time he did not swing on the basket, but fell directly to the ground.
Looking at the basketball that fell out of bounds with an unnatural expression on his face, Yang Shuai raised his head and glanced at Yao Ming, and said in a blustering voice: "Yao Ming, you are really ruthless."
Yao Ming didn't expect that Yang Shuai would accuse him. He patted Yang Shuai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yang Shuai, this is a stadium."
Yang Shuai's expression immediately returned to normal, he laughed, but immediately stared at Yao Ming seriously and said: "Dayao, just wait, I will definitely get this place back."
People outside couldn't hear it, and people around them couldn't understand it, so no one knew what the two people were talking about, but their conversation aroused everyone's interest.
"This is such a dramatic scene. The shot-blocker and the shot-blocker were talking and laughing together. God, are we watching the team training?" Kenny Smith said in surprise.
Reggie Miller shook his head and said: "No, Kenny, do you think that guy Yang will be such an easy person to talk to?"
"That……"
"Hey, Kenny, the interesting things have just begun. This is just the first round of the China Derby."
