Yang Shuai's three-pointer made the score 72:76. The Celtics' lead remained at 4 points, and this 4-point advantage was maintained until the end of the third quarter. {\\ Hand, play\start}
74:, this is the score between the two teams before the start of the fourth quarter. In the third quarter, the Mavericks' defense kept up, and their offense did not fall too far. Nowitzki and Terry were the keys. The Celtics
On the team's side, Yang Shuai scored 20 points, Garnett scored 19 points, and Ray Allen scored 18 points. On the Mavericks side, Nowitzki scored 25 points and Terry also scored 21 points.
The score between the two teams was stalemate, so the game was fun to watch, but now, fans have another focus.
The big screen of the Garden Arena clearly showed Yang Shuai’s statistics: 7 of 10 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 20 points, 1 steal, and 8 rebounds!
"Oh, China Yang has already scored 20 points and 8 rebounds. He is only two steps away from the first 2010 of his career. This rookie surprised us again tonight. Yang only needs to grab two in the fourth quarter.
"Rebounds, yes, only 2 rebounds." Mike Breen also paid attention to the game data.
Jeff Van Gundy agreed: "In my opinion, this is not a problem. Young worked very actively today. Three of his 8 rebounds were offensive rebounds. His hard work will allow him to win in the second round."
Got 2 rebounds in the fourth quarter."
When the two were evaluating Yang Shuai, Mark Jackson was as silent as in the second quarter. He once thought that Yang Shuai would perform poorly in the second half, and then he found a reason to criticize. Unexpectedly, Yang Shuai scored 9 points in the third quarter.
, the score reached 20, and his wishful thinking failed again.
His dislike of Yang Shuai made Mark Jackson not even praise the Celtics. In the fourth quarter, when House missed a shot and Terry hit a three-pointer, Mark Jackson found a reason to attack.
"I think we shouldn't be so anxious to pay attention to what kind of data the Chinese guy can get today. The Celtics are in trouble now. If the Chinese guy gets the data you mentioned, the Celtics lose it at home.
Competition, this may become a great irony."
Mark Jackson's words are not unreasonable. The Celtics seem to have encountered some minor troubles on both offense and defense.
The Celtics have two players on the field at this time, Ray Allen and Perkins, partnered by House, Tony Allen and Leon Bowie, and the offense is focused on Ray Allen and House. Johnson
It seemed that the Celtics had already prepared to focus their offense on the outside, so they stretched the defense wide and House and Ray Allen's offenses were lost one after another.
Fortunately, after Terry hit the three-pointer, the Mavericks' substitute power forward Brandon Bass missed the shot, and the Celtics still had a 1-point advantage.
Ray Allen, after missing a three-pointer, went inside and made a pull-up jumper from close range.
The score difference changed back and forth between 1 point and 3 points. Four minutes into the fourth quarter, 81:84, the Celtics still led by 3 points, and the Mavericks had the right to attack.
Terry, who acted as the point guard, used Buss' pick-and-roll breakthrough to pass the ball to Devin George, who came on as a substitute on the outside. George moved the ball widely and handed the ball to Eddie Jones, who then hit a three-pointer. 84:84
, the two teams tied.
The Celtics called a timeout, Rivers replaced Garnett and Yang Shuai, and replaced Bowie and Tony Allen. The Mavericks also started to make substitutions. Nowitzki and Harris came on and replaced
Dampier and Devin George.
After the timeout, the ball was handed over to Garnett. Garnett beat Witski and broke through to the basket for a half-hook layup. The ball spun around the basket and then fell out. Bass grabbed it.
Backboard.
The ball was handed to Nowitzki. Yang Shuai stepped forward and double-teamed Garnett. Nowitzki quickly moved the ball and handed it to Eddie Jones who was running. This time, the Celtics defense failed.
Able to rotate in time, House stepped forward to defend, but the ball was transferred to Devin Harris.
Harris was extremely fast. Before Yang Shuai and others could cover up the defense, he rushed into the basket and scored the ball. 86:84, the Mavericks took the lead.
After another two minutes of the game, the two rebounds from Yang Shuai that Celtic fans imagined did not come. Instead, the Celtics were already 4 points behind.
"The Chinese kid lost himself in this quarter. Whether it was offense or defense, he didn't grab any rebounds he wanted, and allowed his opponent Eddie Jones to hit a three-pointer. This is Celtic
The main reason why we are now 4 points behind." Mark Jackson finally found the moment to perform, and he shouted with some gloating.
Jeff Van Gundy shook his head. He always believed that Mark Jackson's evaluation of Yang Shuai was too one-sided. Jones just got the chance to shoot a three-pointer because Yang Shuai actively helped defend Nowitzki, but House did not timely
to supplement the defense.
Rivers made another adjustment at this time, Rondo came on to replace House, so the Celtics made all the substitutions, with the last 6 minutes left.
91:87, the Mavericks lead by 4 points, and the Celtics have the right to attack. Yang Shuai watches Rondo dribbling at the top of the key from the left three-point line, gently touches Howard with his hand, and pushes away without leaving a trace.
Howard ran across the ball quickly.
Running near the free throw line, Yang Shuai used Perkins to block Howard behind him. Rondo passed the ball and Yang Shuai immediately took action after receiving the ball.
This was Yang Shuai's first shot in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, the ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced out.
"I'm going to throw it!" After the shot, Yang Shuai realized that he might not be able to hit the ball, and started to rush to the inside. Of course, Yang Shuai hoped to grab the rebound, but even if he reacted in time, he would be beyond his reach.
Garnett showed off his rebounding skills at this time. Although he was blocked by Nowitzki, he still touched the ball first during the entanglement, and then moved it in the direction of Yang Shuai.
Howard also rushed over at this time, but he just followed behind Yang Shuai and was unable to stop the handsome young man from jumping up and taking the ball into his arms.
Handsome guy Yang has a habit. If he misses the previous shot, the team grabs the offensive rebound and has a second chance, and the ball comes to his hands again, his shot will be more decisive than the first time. This
Not many people may have noticed this habit, and even Yang Shuai himself didn't realize it, but he actually did it.
Howard was interfering from behind, but Yang Shuai didn't take it to heart. After getting the ball, he immediately took off and shot. This time, it was much farther from the basket than before. The ball hit the backboard and went into the basket.
It is worth mentioning that whenever this kind of ball appears, handsome guy Yang's hit rate is extremely high, just like this ball.
91:89, the Celtics were only 2 points behind. Yang Shuai's score also rose to 22, but the rebounds were still 8.
Nowitzki once again got the ball, but Yang Shuai was more determined than the previous defender, even though his defensive target was changed to Howard, the number two player in the Mavericks. Howard's state today is indeed not good, maybe in the first half
Yang Shuai's defense interfered with him, and throughout the second half, his offensive performance was lackluster.
But Howard didn't think so. When he saw Yang Shuai leaving beside him, he immediately asked Nowitzki for the ball without even moving. The result was that although Howard had room to shoot after getting the ball, Yang
Shuai Que immediately returned to defense.
"Want to shoot? Do you think you are me?" Yang Shuai yelled, swinging his hand at Howard's head and face.
"Shit, do you think your shot is accurate?" Howard was very dissatisfied, but this did not change the fact that the ball hit the basket and bounced out.
Yang Shuai rushed inside to grab the rebound, but Garnett took the rebound first. Seeing Yang Shuai beside him, Garnett threw the ball to Rondo and grinned: "Boy, you need my help.
Are you stuck? Just yell when you rush in and I will leave the rebound to you."
Yang Shuai ran next to Garnett, curled his lips, and said with an arrogant smile: "Old guy, don't insult me. I'm not the kind of person who jumps on my teammates to collect statistics. I'll grab the rebounds myself!"
The Celtics' offense failed again. This time it was Rondo. The throw after the breakthrough was a pity. Howard grabbed the rebound and then sneered at Yang Shuai: "Want a rebound? Dream on!"
Yang Shuai chuckled, a glint flashed in his eyes, "Okay, very good, I want to see who can stop me today."
It was Nowitzki who got the ball again. Yang Shuai was still determined to double-team, but this time Nowitzki did not pass the ball again. He held the ball high and suddenly turned around. Nowitzki leaned on Garnett and rushed towards the inside.
, the German tank also seemed to realize that it should stand up and take over the game.
If Nowitzki shoots a jumper from outside, it will be difficult to defend due to his height and backwards, but if he wants to rush inside, the Celtics will never agree.
Garnett blocked the top, and Yang Shuai pushed against Nowitzki's lower side, wrapping the German in the middle. Nowitzki played very resolutely. Even though the two were double-teaming, he still chose to attack on his own.
When he deflected Garnett's layup, Nowitzki still didn't have the strength to control it well. After the ball hit the backboard, it bounced out without even touching the basket. Yang Shuai, who was following him, took advantage of the opportunity between Garnett and Garnett.
Nowitzki took a diagonal step while engaging in a physical struggle and grabbed the rebound.
"Yang's ninth rebound!" While Breen shouted this, Yang Shuai's data was also shown on the big screen again, 22 points and 9 rebounds.
But compared to Yang Shuai's data, Rivers is obviously more focused on the result of the game. They are still 2 points behind.
What made Rivers secretly happy was that Garnett stood up at this time, attacked the basket and caused Nowitzki's foul. He made two free throws and the two teams were tied again.
Lasting until 54 seconds before the end, the scores of the two teams were still tied. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Everyone knew that the outcome would be decided in less than one minute. Almost all Celtic fans were at this time.
He stood up, clenched his fists, and stared at the field tightly, not daring to blink at all.
Rondo was dribbling the ball to organize the offense. After several rounds in the hands of several people, the ball finally came to Ray Allen's hands. At this time, the team's attack time only had the last 6 seconds left. Ray Allen
Facing Terry's defensive three-point line, he made a one-step jump shot.
"Bump!" Like a heavy punch in the hearts of all Celtics fans, the ball hit the basket.
"Ray missed an important shot, oh, rebound! Yang, Yang rushed inside and grabbed the offensive rebound, the key offensive rebound, the ball returned to Rajon's hands, Yang, the 10th rebound, before everyone
I got it when I didn't expect it, it's so crucial! Congratulations to him on 2010, well done."
"Pop! Pah! Pah!" "Yang! Well done!" "Awesome, beautiful rush!" When Yang Shuai picked off the rebound, the applause in the Garden Arena rang out like a tide.
Rebounds are so crucial!
The ball was in Rondo's hands, and there were only 38 seconds left. They needed an attack. In order to maintain stability, they did not rush to attack, but hoped to organize an effective attack.
Ray Allen was preparing to run on the left side. Yang Shuai took the initiative to help block the man. Terry and Howard made a big mistake at this time. When they saw Ray Allen running, they actually ran at the same time.
After leaving, Yang Shuai was left empty again.
Rondo did not let go of such a good opportunity, and the ball was passed to Yang Shuai immediately. He caught the ball and took off. Although Howard reacted and pounced again at this time, Yang Shuai could not hesitate at all.
"Go in! Go in!" "No go in! No go in!" Two different voices sounded in the hearts of the two parties. Among them, only the person involved, Yang Shuai, felt the most peaceful. This ball cannot be missed!
"Whoa!" The good touch did not disappoint Yang Shuai, nor did it disappoint all Celtic fans, a hollow hit!
"The ball went in! Yang! Two-pointer, 97:99, the Celtics regained the lead by two points. There is no doubt that this is the most critical shot for the Celtics so far tonight, a key rebound and a key shot.
,Yang, tut tut, what a great guy.”
"Dirk missed the shot, Yang protected the rebound, Josh fouled, it's over... Yang made two free throws, it's over, the Celtics won the final victory, congratulations to the Celtics, congratulations to Yang! He is
The most dazzling player tonight, a well-deserved mvp! With one rebound and one shot, he personally pushed the Dallas Mavericks into the abyss."
"Yang! mvp! Yang! mvp!" Under the leadership of DJ, all Celtic fans shouted, Yang Shuai, he is the mvp of this game! With 26 points and 11 rebounds, he deserves it!
