"Hey, Yang Shuai, weren't you very excited just now? Why are you turning into a wilted eggplant now?" Yang Shuai sat down and remained motionless. Two minutes later, a voice came over.
Just by listening to the voice, Yang Shuai knew it was Chu Xiyun. Originally, Chu Xiyun asked Yang Shuai not to give her and Zhu Li the tickets too far forward, but when Yang Shuai got the tickets, he happened to get these two positions.
, handsome guy Yang is not someone who cares about other people’s opinions, so he simply won’t change.
When she got the ticket, Chu Xiyun even told Yang Shuai that she would not come to the game in this position, but in the end, she and Zhu Li came together.
"Is there one? Withered eggplant? Do you think I look like it?" Yang Shuai turned to Chu Xixi with a calm face and said.
"Aren't you mad because your head was replaced?" Chu Xiyun said with some doubts. In her opinion, Yang Shuai should show some frustration and anger at this time. A calm face like this is really real.
Not his style.
Yang Shuai was really not so shocked. In the past two minutes, he was just calming down his mood. He did realize that he was a little too excited.
Excitement will make Yang Shuai feel more motivated on the court, but once he gets too excited, he will lose his judgment and will not be able to play the game rationally. In this regard, Yang Shuai sat down and recalled his performance in the past four minutes.
Then I understood.
"Hi, Xiyun, Yang, don't you think it's weird to speak Chinese here? I don't understand what you are talking about at all." Zhu Li said with some dissatisfaction. It seems that Chu Xiyun did have the upper hand.
In terms of language alone, Julie felt that she was falling behind.
Should she learn Chinese? This thought flashed through Julie's mind.
"Sorry!" Yang Shuai shrugged at Zhu Li, and then said to Chu Xiyun in English: "Angry? Why should I be angry? Don't worry, I'm just calm and collected. This is what the coach asked me to do."
"Yang, the fans will understand you. After all, this is only your first time, and you will definitely give a wonderful performance in the future." Zhu Li looked confident, and seemed to have more confidence in Yang Shuai than herself.
Yang Shuai laughed and said: "Of course, I don't want to fail in my performance the first time, otherwise... I would be sorry for the beauty Chu coming to support me." Yang Shuai said the last sentence in Chinese.
"What?" Julie didn't respond.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just said look at my next performance, yes, that's what I mean." Yang Shuai summed up what he just said.
What Yang Shuai didn't expect was that he had to sit for a whole period. Tony Allen showed a very good state today. He took up the responsibility of defending Roy well on the defensive end and at the same time on offense.
Duan also hit a three-pointer. It seems that Yang Shuai gave him a lot of motivation.
Then House, who replaced Ray Allen, also performed stably, so Rivers seemed to have forgotten about Yang Shuai.
Three minutes into the second quarter, Yang Shuai was still on the bench. At this time, the score between the two sides was 25:26, with the Celtics leading by 1 point. The two teams tied at 20:20 in the first quarter, and the second quarter began.
At this stage, the score difference still did not widen.
"Yang, have you calmed down?" Rivers, who was staring at the court, suddenly turned his head and asked Yang Shuai.
Yang Shuai nodded heavily, and then said with a smile: "Coach, I have been so calm that I can't be calm anymore. Look, I look completely normal."
"Then, come on and replace Tony."
"Okay, great, I finally have a chance to play again." Yang Shuai jumped up from his seat excitedly, took off his jacket, threw it behind him casually, and then walked to the record table.
Reaching out to catch the coat thrown by Yang Shuai, Chu Xiyun did not hand it to the Celtic staff, but took it directly in her hand. The staff may also know Chu Xiyun, but they did not step forward to ask for it.
"Yang played! He played less time today than when he was a substitute, but I think since Doug let him play, the Chinese young man must have completely calmed down on the sidelines."
The score is still 25:26. The Celtics have the ball. Now there are three Celtics on the court, Garnett, Yang Shuai, Rondo, and the other two players are Davis and House.
The Trail Blazers are also a half-main and half-substitute lineup, with Channing Frye, Aldridge, Travis Outlaw, James Jones and Blake.
Yang Shuai was not in a hurry to get the ball, but came to the three-point line to pick and roll for Rondo. As his offensive awareness improved to an intermediate level, the quality of his pick and roll also improved a lot. Rondo avoided Blake's defensive rush.
Inward line.
Aldridge stepped forward to cover the defense. Rondo passed the ball to Garnett. Garnett passed the ball to Davis. The latter's mid-range shot bounced out of the basket. Channing Frye grabbed the rebound.
.
"Careful!" Frye heard Outlaw's voice as soon as he took the ball down. Before he could react, his hand was empty and the ball had fallen to the ground.
"Yang, beautiful! Yang stole the ball. Maybe Channing Frye thought he succeeded when he got the rebound, but Yang declared the opponent's failure."
After getting the ball, Yang Shuai shot directly. Frye didn't want his mistake to cost the opponent points, so he reached out and slapped Yang Shuai.
"Beep!" the referee's whistle sounded.
"It looked good. Yang just completed a steal and caused a foul on the opponent. He seemed to have regained his composure. Of course, it just seemed."
After making 2 of 2 free throws, handsome young man Yang finally scored. After all, he is also a player, so it doesn't look good to have 0 points.
When the Trail Blazers attacked, Blake failed to find a suitable opportunity for his breakthrough. He passed the ball to Aldridge. Last year's No. 2 player attacked the basket and was double-teamed by Garnett and Davis. He almost made a mistake and passed the ball to Aldridge.
It was thrown into the hands of Channing Frye. After taking the ball, Frye took advantage of House's opportunity to shrink inside to defend himself and distributed the ball to James Jones, who was open on the outside.
After Jones got the ball, both Yang Shuai and House rushed towards each other, but they did not stop the opponent's shot and hit a three-pointer.
28:28 tied, the ball came to the Celtics again. House's layup was interfered with and bounced out of the basket. Aldridge controlled the rebound and was careful not to let Yang Shuai sneak attack again.
Chance.
"Stephen Blake hit a two-pointer and the Portlanders took the lead. Come on, Celtics! Don't give those guys a chance!"
"Kevin, attack the basket! The ball bounced out. Glen Davis touched the ball and didn't get it. Kevin shot the ball out of the perimeter. Yang got the offensive rebound and handed it to Rajon. Yes, we
Need to slow down the pace.”
After handing the ball to Rondo, Yang Shuai went to the three-point line in the left corner. When Rondo dribbled the ball outside the three-point line and prepared to break through, he started running.
The gesture was to move high along the outside of the three-point line. Yang Shuai successfully deceived Outlaw. When the opponent started to move, Yang Shuai suddenly changed direction and ran along the baseline to the right.
Garnett stood outside the three-second zone on the left and successfully blocked Outlaw's pursuit. Aldridge pursued the defense, but was blocked again by Glenn Davis. Channing Frye failed to actively follow up.
On the game, Yang Shuai ran directly outside the three-point line. This tactic was specially developed for Ray Allen, but now it is used on Yang Shuai.
When the ball arrived, Rondo's pass was very timely. He caught the ball and jumped! Yang Shuai didn't hesitate at all, but his shot really worried the Celtics at the scene.
"Three-point shot! The ball went in! Beautiful run, beautiful three-pointer. Yang, after sitting on the court for a while, it seems that he is completely awake."
"Whoa!" "Wow!" "Great job!" When the basketball passed by, the worries of the fans instantly turned into excitement, and they overtook the lead again.
"Yeah!" Yang Shuai shook his fist vigorously, looked up at the fans around him, and became excited again. The difference from before was that this time he would not be overly excited.
"Defend! Defend!" Blake pushed the ball past half-court, and the whole audience resounded with uniform voices. The closer the game became, the easier it was to drive the enthusiasm of the fans.
The ball was once again handed to Aldridge. Garnett signaled Davis not to come up and double-team, and then pushed behind Aldridge.
Aldridge was not very good at such back-up play. He instead held the ball head-on, and then dribbled to prepare to hit the inside. Garnett did not give the opponent such a chance, and took a step forward to get in front of Aldridge.
He stopped the opponent directly.
Aldridge did not have an advantage in the physical confrontation with Garnett. He had to pick up the ball, but Garnett's closeness prevented him from finding a suitable opportunity.
"Last year's second pick was like a softie. He didn't have much to do under Kevin's defense. Shooting kid, God may bless you." Heinsohn looked at the scene on the court and said with a smile.
Aldridge didn't listen to Heinsohn and chose to pass the ball when Outlaw ran in front of him, but Outlaw quickly stopped the ball under the pressure of Yang Shuai.
"Hey, man, why don't you try shooting. I think your touch may be good today. Did you get cramps from being on a woman's belly yesterday?" Yang Shuai looked at Outlaw looking for his teammates after getting the ball.
He kept touching the ball with his hands and said jokingly.
Outlaw was actually a good boy. He glared at Yang Shuai impatiently, but did not choose to shoot because it was not his strength.
Blake rushed over at this time. Outlaw and his teammates completed a hand-to-hand pass and blocked Rondo behind him. However, Yang Shuai quickly followed Blake and completed the defense change.
The Trail Blazers' offensive time was running out, and Blake had no intention of stopping. Seeing that the Celtics' inside line was now empty, he accelerated towards the basket.
"The speed of this Chinese boy is too average!" Blake watched Yang Shuai fall from in front of him to the side and behind him, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
Feeling that the power around him had completely withdrawn, Blake took off on one foot without being disturbed by physical contact, and used what he thought was the most comfortable posture to lift the ball toward the basket.
"Yang..."
"I've been waiting for you to lay up!" Yang Shuai, who was beside Blake, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, jumped high, and fiercely fanned the basketball with his right hand.
"Bang!" Blake felt a dark cloud shrouded him, a slapping sound came from above his head, and the ball hit the backboard directly.
"Beautiful block! Yang! Silver killer Yang! He directly kicked the ball down. Yang, who suffocated the opponent's defense, is back!" Heinsohn's high voice was heard through the microphone and reached all the Celtics in front of the screen.
To the ears of fans, the scene was also in a commotion at this time.
"Well done! Kill those Portlanders! Yang, kill them!" "Yang...handsome!"
Amid the shouts, screams and whistles, Yang Shuai jumped up again and collected the rebounding basketball into his arms.
