"Damn, how could this guy suddenly become so accurate?" When Rockets fans sighed, Yao Ming, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, also shook his head. In his impression, Yang Shuai's shooting was not so accurate.
"Good job, kid, keep doing this." Garnett came over and punched Yang Shuai hard, then ran away with a smile. Yang Shuai didn't answer, but quickly stuck to McGrady.
"Tracy, you must really want to lead the team to victory tonight and continue your winning streak? You are not satisfied with being first in the Western Conference. You even want to be first in the league. Unfortunately, at this time, you are not satisfied with being first.
It's a pity that you met me." Standing next to McGrady, Yang Shuai stared at him closely and said calmly.
McGrady's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, he glanced at Yang Shuai, and said with a slight smile: "Yang, you are not as humble as Yao."
"Of course, because I am Yang Shuai, not Yao Ming." A natural expression appeared on Yang Shuai's face, humility? He doesn't need this thing. Maybe he will occasionally think of it outside the court, but he doesn't on the court.
meeting.
McGrady's expression became extremely serious. He once again took the initiative to get the ball from Alston's hands, and then pressed Yang Shuai and rushed inside. The serious McGrady is indeed one of the top attackers in the league, even though his condition is poor.
It gets worse year by year.
There was a sudden stop at the free throw line, and McGrady threw the ball over Yang Shuai's head. The arc of the ball was very low, almost flat and hit the inside of the basket, and then fell into the basket with a "bump".
"Tracy... McGrady!" the DJ on the scene shouted McGrady's name loudly, and the Rockets fans, who had just been pressed by Yang Shuai's two three-pointers and seemed a little dull, burst into cheers for the first time today.
Yang Shuai curled his lips, McGrady's shot wasn't too outstanding, and these Rockets fans seemed to be pursuing it too low.
Returning to the offensive end again, McGrady's defensive focus has improved a lot, allowing Yang Shuai, who is not very offensive, to score two three-pointers in a row. Although it is not entirely his fault, it is enough to arouse vigilance. Yang Shuai is just a
A rookie, not Kobe. Although McGrady is not as good as before (he doesn't even admit this), he doesn't want to be ridden by a rookie.
Yang Shuai has never been the core of the Celtics' offense. Even if he scored 20 points in three previous games, Rondo immediately handed the ball to Garnett after discovering that Yang Shuai had no good offensive opportunities in this round.
Garnett tried a mid-range shot against Mutombo's defense, but it bounced out of the basket and Scola grabbed the rebound.
The last goal scored gave McGrady great confidence. He once again took the ball and beat Yang Shuai. This time he took the ball directly from the mid-range and shot.
"Don't even think about it!" Yang Shuai has been guarding against the opponent's move since McGrady got the ball. When he saw McGrady take off, he jumped up immediately. McGrady's dry shot is indeed one of the most difficult shooting moves in the league to defend.
Yang Shuai took off half a beat late, and by the time he put his hand on the opponent's face, McGrady's ball had already been released.
Although McGrady's shot is difficult to guard, his hit rate is not guaranteed. The arc of this ball is lower than the previous one. The ball hits the basket and bounces out directly. The ball rebounds very quickly. Parkin
Perkins didn't even have time to take off, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the ball but failed to win it. The basketball touched by Perkins flew over his and Scola's heads, and then flew towards Yang Shuai and Tracy McGrady.
come over.
McGrady tried to get the ball behind Yang Shuai, but Yang Shuai would not give him such a chance. Seeing that Yang Shuai had already taken off, he also jumped up, hoping to take the ball directly from behind.
"T-Mac, kill that kid!" Rockets fans have good wishes, but Yang Shuai is no worse than McGrady no matter his height or jumping. He is in a dominant position and completely blocks McGrady behind him and gets the ball in the air.
in hand.
When he was about to land, Yang Shuai had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then he acted quickly. He grabbed the ball with his right hand and reached behind Tracy McGrady to push it. After Yang Shuai landed, his body turned around from the left side. Yang Shuai's sudden movement was really shocking.
It was beyond McGrady's expectations that the All-Star player had no time to react, and Yang Shuai disappeared from his sight.
"Oh!" McGrady couldn't figure out what happened, but the people watching the game saw it clearly. Reggie Miller exclaimed immediately. "Creative pass, pass, excellent.
Creative, Yang! Nice turn, although his movements looked a bit rusty, but he really left Tracy behind, Yang, fast break!"
Rockets fans had not yet recovered from Yang Shuai's beautiful turn, and then they began to worry about their defense. The Celtics were 3 on 2.
Yang Shuai, Rondo, and Pierce ran forward quickly, while the Rockets' defensive players mainly had Battier and Alston in front. Tracy McGrady was behind Yang Shuai, but his start was too late.
The Rockets were once a top-notch defensive team in positional warfare, but they did not defend against fast breaks. This did not improve after Adelman arrived. After Yang Shuai got the ball, Battier tried to get closer, but after Yang Shuai passed the ball
After Rondo, he immediately returned to Pierce's side.
"Tracy, follow that kid!" Adelman stood up on the sidelines and shouted at McGrady. McGrady, as if he had just woken up from a dream, began to speed up and chase Yang Shuai. Physically, Yang Shuai is indeed not able to compete with McGrady for the time being.
, especially the speed, McGrady quickly approached Yang Shuai, which made Adelman and Rockets fans on the sidelines secretly relieved.
Rondo pressed the ball outside the three-point line, Pierce continued to run towards the basket, and Yang Shuai suddenly stopped when he ran outside the three-point line. McGrady, who was still rushing forward, stopped in a hurry. Yang Shuai had just
Those two three-pointers left a deep impression on him.
Just when McGrady stopped, Yang Shuai restarted and quickly rushed towards the basket. Faced with Yang Shuai's sudden start, McGrady had some difficulty in doing the same. He took a step laterally, hoping to stop Yang Shuai with his body.
"Porphyry!" Yang Shuai and McGrady bumped shoulders. What surprised McGrady was that his body inevitably turned sideways, but Yang Shuai only paused slightly and immediately rushed to the inside. "His
strength……"
McGrady sighed, yes, strength has become the key to this duel. McGrady used to use his height and strength to bully others, but in the past two years, his body is not as good as before, and his strength has also dropped a lot, not to mention that at this time, he is just
Taking a step sideways was not enough preparation.
On the other hand, Yang Shuai's power had reached an advanced level more than a month ago, and now he used momentum. With an obvious advantage, he rushed past McGrady. This time, he could no longer stop him.
Already.
Battier had just been led to the other side by Pierce, and the others had not yet returned to defense in time. The Rockets had no one under the basket at this time. Of course, Rondo would not miss this great opportunity, and pushed the ball inside with a flick of his wrist.
.
"Nice pass!" Yang Shuai watched the ball coming, jumped up, grabbed the basketball in the air and dunked hard towards the basket.
"Hush..." Strong boos rang out from the Toyota Center, but this obviously could not stop handsome young man Yang from performing. He grabbed the ball with his right hand and swung it hard. With a loud "bang", Yang handsome dunked the ball hard.
The basket.
"Yes! Wonderful goal! Yang Shuai! There is no doubt that this is an offense that can be selected into the top ten goals. After grabbing the rebound in the backcourt, he turned around and passed the ball, and then he made this powerful alley-oop.
, perfect, Young, he scored the Celtics' first 8 points."
The Rockets called a timeout. Adelman called the timeout somewhat reluctantly. He did not expect that the Celtics' most active performer at the beginning was actually Yang Shuai, who was supposed to be a substitute. He made 3 of 3 shots, including two three-pointers.
What Yang Shuai did was not just score 8 points by himself, but he completely aroused the momentum of the Celtics.
Before the start of the game, the Rockets were undoubtedly more energetic. They were riding a 22-game winning streak and were playing at home. But what about the Celtics? They had back-to-back away games and had just lost in Santonio, and they also lost.
Losing one of the giants in the team. No matter how you look at it, the Rockets have the right time, location, and people, but their momentum was completely disrupted by one person within the first 2 minutes, and it was someone that no one expected at all.
.
The Chinese fans in front of the screen were in the most complicated mood at this time. They wanted to see Yang Shuai perform brilliantly, but they also hoped that the Rockets' winning streak could continue. Yang Shuai showed off an unprecedented attack as soon as he came on the scene**
Although they are very happy about the Celtics and their state, they are also worried that the Celtics' good state will end the Rockets' winning streak.
"Yang, you did a great job. Just now I thought it was Lei standing on the court again. Whoa, well, the voice sounds very pleasant indeed." Pierce walked side by side with Yang Shuai towards the end of the court, smiling.
The way.
Yang Shuai shrugged and said, "Paul, don't you think this is what I should do? I can do all this."
"Haha, Yang, I like your confidence." Not only Pierce, but other Celtic players laughed. They didn't expect Yang Shuai's outburst at the beginning, but the impact was real, at least
The psychological impact of the loss in the last game and Ray Allen's injury is being downplayed in their hearts.
"Yang, they will definitely focus more of their defensive attention on you and continue to run, just like what Lei usually does, tearing apart the opponent's defense and creating opportunities for teammates. Of course, if you have the opportunity,
You can choose to attack by yourself. Yang, you feel very good today, right?" Rivers asked with a smile.
Yang Shuai nodded heavily and said: "Of course, my hand feels great. I feel like I can throw every ball into the basket."
"Very good, show yourself well in front of your compatriots." Rivers looked towards the other end of the Rockets, where sat Yao Ming in a suit.
Yang Shuai smiled and said: "No problem." He was not just trying to prove himself in front of Yao Ming. He had just upgraded his three-pointers to a high level and was at a stage of bursting with confidence. Moreover, even if he was not playing with the Rockets, he
There is also enough motivation.
Of course, playing with the Rockets will give him more motivation. Although Yao Ming is injured, domestic attention to this game is not low at all. They all expect Yang Shuai to perform well. How can he let others
Disappointed. Handsome guy Yang belongs to this kind of person. The more eyes on him, the better he can perform. The greater the pressure, the more motivation!
