"Great job, boy!" The Rockets called a timeout again, and the Toyota Center resumed its hustle and bustle, but the smiles were no longer on the faces of Rockets fans. Update Everyone understands that unless a miracle occurs, the result of the game will be difficult to change
.As he walked to the sidelines, Garnett couldn't help but rub Yang Shuai's head fiercely.
"Hey, old guy, because I'm in a good mood today, I don't care about your actions." Yang Shuai laughed and punched Garnett's chest.
Rockets fans are hoping that the miracle can be staged again, but McGrady's bravery is no longer there, and the missed shot from beyond the three-point line after the timeout also means that the Rockets have lost hope of a final comeback.
"The game is over. The Celtics won the game. The Rockets' 22-game winning streak was ended. This duel of first place in the East and West finally ended at 97:91. The Celtics in the East left Houston with the victory. Yang
, he was undoubtedly the best player in this game, with 26 points, 11 rebounds and 1 block. He scored priceless 5 points and a block at the last moment that decided the outcome. Look at the look on Doug’s face.
Smile, it does give him peace of mind to have a guy like that on the bench."
The game is over, but the fans did not leave immediately. The past 22 games are unforgettable for Rockets fans. They did not lose a game, but everything is over. Their winning streak was ended. The main reason is because now
The guy who was talking to Yao Ming on the sidelines.
"Yang Shuai, I didn't expect that the team would be defeated by you in the end. You are really merciless at all." After the game, despite his regrets, Yao Ming still walked to the court to talk to Yang Shuai.
Looking at Yao Ming, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, Yang Shuai smiled and said: "Don't say you weren't there, even if you were there I wouldn't show mercy. It's only my fault that you met me. I told Tracy McGrady just now on the court.
, if you want to win 23 consecutive games, you have to pass me first, and now...I did it."
Yao Ming nodded. Yang Shuai did use his performance to help the Celtics win today. Yang Shuai's performance at the critical moment was fatal to the Rockets. But because of this, he was even more eager for Yang Shuai to join the national team.
."What about what I told you last time? Have you thought about it clearly?"
"What's the matter? Oh, you talked about joining the national team." Yang Shuai reacted, then pondered for a moment and said: "I'll see you later, don't you invite me to sit down somewhere?"
"No problem, I'll wait for you in the parking lot." Yao Ming smiled heartily and followed his teammates into the locker room.
Yang Shuai also entered the locker room with his teammates. As the hero of tonight's victory, he was naturally praised by his teammates. Pierce laughed again and asked Yang Shuai if he was possessed by Ray Allen.\\ Starting
Yang Shuai's shooting percentage today was indeed very good, making 10 of 15 shots, including 4 of 5 three-pointers, and both free throws. His performance from beyond the three-point line really felt like he was possessed by Ray Allen.
At the press conference, someone also asked about Yang Shuai's shooting percentage in this game, especially his shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line. Yang Shuai laughed and said that he was indeed possessed by Ray Allen.
"I'm very excited to be able to play against the Rockets. I know they have won 22 consecutive games, but we are here to end the winning streak. My touch is very good, maybe I am possessed by thunder, haha."
Yang Shuai did not say too many radical words at the press conference. When a reporter asked about the technical foul, Yang Shuai just told the truth. Then he smiled and said: "Sir Charles, I'm sorry that you may have to spend money, but
It’s a far cry from the $500,000 per season I told you originally, so you should feel lucky, and oh, by the way, if the league wants to fine you, don’t forget to pay it.”
"Bullshit!" Barkley, who was also paying attention to what Yang Shuai would say, couldn't help but yell. He had to be fined for doing nothing, so he should feel lucky? But at this time, what else could he do besides secretly scolding himself for making a rash bet?
Well, the only thing he can do is pray that David Stern will be merciful and not fine him too harshly.
The person who may be punished is very calm, but the other person who has done nothing is worried to death. Sir Charles, it is his big mouth that causes trouble.
Because the team went to Dallas for a game on the third day, the Celtics checked into Houston that night. Yang Shuai did not return to the team after the game but hung out with Yao Ming.
As soon as the two sat down, Yao Ming couldn't wait to ask Yang Shuai: "How is it, Yang Shuai, how are you thinking about it?" It's not surprising that he is so anxious, he needs help in the national team so much, although he still has
There is Yi Jianlian, but the appearance of Yang Shuai interests Yao Ming even more.
With top-level defense, unyielding fighting spirit, outside shooting ability, and rebounding ability, Yao Ming believes that Yang Shuai like this will help him. In his opinion, this kind of help may be more than that of Yi Jianlian. Moreover, Yang Shuai's performance in the NBA is far better.
He is more stable than Yi Jianlian, which Yao Ming appreciates very much. He needs a stable helper in the game.
Yang Shuai pondered for a moment and said: "Dayao, I have thought about this issue carefully. To be honest, I am actually quite willing to fight side by side with you. After all, I am Chinese, and in the past nearly twenty years, I have
I spent all my time in China. If I can contribute to the country, I have no reason not to do it. But..."
At this point, Yang Shuai paused for a moment. When Yao Ming signaled him to continue, he continued: "But I am a person who is used to freedom. You are also aware of the domestic environment. I am worried that if I want to join the national team
, some people will make excessive demands.”
Although Yang Shuai didn't say it clearly, Yao Ming understood. He knew exactly how Wang Zhizhi broke up with the country in the first place. Yang Shuai's worry was not unreasonable. But he really didn't want the national team to lack such an outstanding player.
I don’t want to have such a helper by my side.
"I'm trying to communicate with the country and try to let you enter the national team without any obstacles, but you have to promise me that if I can do it, you will enter the national team and we will have a good Olympics." Yao Ming was silent for a moment.
Then, he raised his head and said.
"No problem!" Handsome guy Yang stopped hesitating and agreed straight away. (For information about the national team, see the explanation at the end of this chapter)
After the party with Yao Ming, Yang Shuai returned to the hotel. Tomorrow morning they will go to Dallas, where they will have a game with the Mavericks the day after tomorrow. Yang Shuai's last game was against the Mavericks, and in that game he
He scored for the first time in 2010, and he is also looking forward to the next game.
When they woke up early the next morning, the Celtics players found numerous reports in the newspapers about their game last night. This showdown between the first place in the East and the West attracted a lot of attention. Yang Shuai's profile picture appeared.
He was at the forefront of all major media. As the hero of the Celtics' victory last night, he was praised by the media.
"This is an amazing young man. He can always play some unforgettable game moments. At the last moment of the game, he almost turned the situation around on his own. This may be an All-Star level performance. He
His progress is also impressive. In the summer league, he didn't even have a chance to shoot. Even at the beginning of the regular season, his offensive ability was always ignored. Everyone focused on his defense.
Looking at it now, he made 10 of 15 field goals, 4 of 5 three-pointers, 26 points and 10 rebounds. Would anyone have thought of such statistics at the beginning of the regular season? If China enters the playoffs, Yang can continue like this.
"The performance will be good news to all Celtics fans." Nesn expert Evans Collinge wrote in his column. As the most famous local sports media in Boston, their recognition is equivalent to the city.
Recognition of Yang Shuai.
Of course, the news about Yang Shuai is not all praise, because he did some things that are not allowed by the league during the game against the Rockets.
In response to Yang Shuai's behavior of pointing at fans and yelling at the fans during the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets game, the league responded later the next day. They believed that Yang Shuai disrespected the fans and harmed the NBA as a whole.
Therefore, Yang Shuai was fined 25,000 US dollars.
As soon as this news from the league came out, the biggest reaction was from Charles Barkley. Although it was only half of the $50,000 that Reggie Miller said, Barkley was still in pain.
Yang Shuai can't control so much anymore. He only looks at the league's punishment now based on the numbers, and he doesn't have to pay anyway.
The Celtics challenged the Mavericks away from home. There were many highlights in this game. The matchup between Garnett and Nowitzki was the most eye-catching one. In fact, this game has indeed become a game between two players.
In a duel between star power forwards, Garnett scored 36 points and 15 rebounds, while Nowitzki also scored 35 points and 12 rebounds. The fans who had been paying attention to the duel between the two were hooked.
The Celtics won the game with a four-point advantage of 99:95.
In addition to Garnett, the Celtics also had two double-doubles, Rondo's 10 points and 11 assists and Yang Shuai's 12 points and 10 rebounds. Coupled with Pierce's 23 points, these four people
Scored 81 points.
Yang Shuai took much fewer shots in this game, and his touch also declined. He made 4 of 9 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. However, 4 of his 10 rebounds were
Offensive rebounds are something Rivers greatly appreciates. He likes Yang Shuai's hard work very much.
The next day, the Celtics team rushed to New Orleans without stopping. Unlike the previous All-Star Game, this time Yang Shuai and Garnett were not here to perform. The two teams battled for 48 minutes.
In the end, the Celtics lost to the Hornets 96:104. Yang Shuai once again scored in double figures, scoring 12 points, but he only grabbed 7 rebounds and failed to achieve double-doubles in three consecutive games.
It’s not surprising that the Celtics lost this game. Continuous away games and back-to-back games are very physically demanding. The young Hornets are waiting for work and easily face Chris Paul and David Weiss.
The two core players of the Hornets scored 30 points at the same time.
After the game against the Hornets, the Celtics finally ended their road trip in the Western Conference. With a record of 56 wins and 13 losses, they still ranked first in the league.
(ps: Here I want to make some explanations about joining the national team. I believe many friends hate the protagonist joining the national team, but as a Chinese, these things are really difficult to avoid. I will abbreviate the Olympic games again,
It may just be a transition in one or two chapters. If some friends don’t want to read it, just skip it. Another very important reason for letting Yang Shuai participate in the Olympics is also because of the needs of the plot. There is a character who needs to be arranged at that time. This point
Everyone will know after reading it, so I won’t reveal more. I hope everyone will understand.)
