"Hush!" When the Celtics players appeared, the Eagles fans immediately booed vigorously, but these battles did not affect the Celtics players. With a steady pace, the Celtics stepped on
Phillips Arena floor.
Perkins was the first to get the ball for the Celtics. Rondo dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and immediately handed it to Garnett. The two sides were very familiar with each other in the past few games, and Garnett didn't need to test dribbling the ball.
Then he rushed towards the basket. Pressing Marvin Williams into the three-second area, Garnett grabbed the ball with his right hand and made an emergency hook. The ball fell steadily into the basket.
"kg scored 2 points for the Celtics. In the past five games, the Celtics had the upper hand at the beginning, but only three games maintained the advantage until the end of the game. This time, they will win at the beginning of the game.
Establish an advantage?”
Of course the Celtics wanted to establish an advantage at the beginning, but the Hawks entered the state very quickly today. Garnett had just scored, and Horford counterattacked on the other side. He also scored 2 points with a strong hit in the paint.
point.
"Joe Johnson, breakthrough, Kendrick fouled! The head of the Hawks played very actively today. He has scored 5 points and sent an assist. If he can make the free throw, he will get 7 points."
Johnson indeed played very actively today. He scored 5 points in the first 6 minutes of the first quarter and assisted Bibby for a three-pointer. 8 of the team's 10 points were related to him.
"The first free throw was made, Doug made a substitution, and Young replaced Kendrick. Was Young playing to defend Joe Johnson?"
After Johnson made the first free throw, the Celtics asked for a substitution. Yang Shuai came to the court. Rivers had only one request for Yang Shuai, and tried every means to freeze Johnson.
Yang Shuai walked slowly towards the court. After applauding Perkins, he did not immediately step forward to grab the rebound. Instead, he walked slowly towards the penalty area as if taking a walk. His behavior made the Eagles on the scene very dissatisfied. They also
Wanting to see Johnson tie the score after making a free throw, Yang Shuai received strong boos.
"Boy, if you can't walk, get off the court." "Is this kid afraid of playing? Why are you walking so slowly?"
Not only the fans, but even Johnson was a little impatient. Is this kid walking or stepping on ants? Is there anyone who walks so slowly on the field? Who doesn't want to get to the field as soon as possible to participate in the game.
"Perhaps it would be a good choice for Yang to walk on the catwalk. Look at this guy's pace. Well, it's very good." Reggie Miller, who was watching the game from the sidelines, laughed, and his view was agreed by Barkley.
, Sir Charles has been jealous of Yang Shuai's appearance for more than a day or two.
Under the referee's urging, Yang Shuai finally quickened his pace, but he deliberately walked past Johnson and said in a slightly proud tone: "Hey, man, you have to give me a rebound as soon as I come up.
, right? However, I will not have any thanks to you. {\\ Hand, hit\starter}"
Of course, Johnson listened to what Yang Shuai said word for word. He was originally dissatisfied with Yang Shuai's ink-writing for a long time. When he heard Yang Shuai's words, Johnson frowned slightly. He took the ball in his hand and waited.
Johnson, who had been waiting for a long time, dribbled the ball slightly and threw the ball out, "Go in!"
At this time, Johnson suddenly heard what Yang Shuai had just said, and secretly shouted in his heart. But sometimes, the more you want to score, the less he will score. Although Johnson did not realize it, his shot was indeed a bit hasty.
The ball hit the neck of the basket with too much force and bounced out.
Garnett and Pierce blocked Horford and Williams respectively. Yang Shuai, who was behind, took off the rebound, passed the ball to Rondo and opened his mouth towards Johnson. Although he couldn't hear what Yang Shuai was saying,
But Johnson could tell from the shape of his mouth, "thank you!"
"What an annoying guy." Johnson turned around and ran toward the half court, waving his hand with a slight annoyance. If he made a free throw, he wouldn't have to watch Yang Shuai's performance.
After being dribbled into the frontcourt by Rondo, the ball was once again handed to Garnett. This time, it was Horford who was guarding him. Compared to Marvin Williams, Horford's body was stronger and he stuck closely to him.
Garnett's body does not allow Garnett to have much room to attack.
Garnett pulled back his left foot slightly and faked a breakthrough in front of Horford. The flexibility and dribbling ability of an outside player allowed Garnett to often make various breakthrough moves. Horford had to mention twelve
Divide spirit.
Swinging wildly to the left, Garnett seemed to be about to break through along the baseline, but his center of gravity suddenly shifted to the right and he slapped the ball hard on the ground from the right to the basket. Garnett's pace was huge, although it was just a dribble.
The ball is about to be picked up with one step, but it is already very close to the basket with the second step.
Marvin Williams, who was taken outside the three-point line by Pierce, immediately stepped forward to defend. Garnett quickly discovered Pierce who was open on the outside, but he did not rush to pass the ball, but jumped high.
He stood up and made a shooting motion. Marvin Williams was indeed fooled. He also wanted to interfere. Garnett threw the ball in the air to Pierce on the outside.
Pierce had already run away, and Williams jumped to interfere. At this time, it was impossible for him to interfere with the captain of the Celtics. Johnson, who was guarding Ray Allen at the top of the arc, quickly stepped forward to defend, but he just ran away.
After taking two steps, Pierce passed the ball to Ray Allen and hurriedly ran back.
As Johnson ran back, he also saw another white figure rushing over. He secretly thought something was wrong and shouted: "Go back, Josh!"
Josh Smith, who had already run over to cover the defense, did turn around and run back at this time, but how could he run past Ray Allen's pass? In the right corner, Yang Shuai received a pass from Ray Allen.
, Handsome guy Yang will certainly not let go of the opportunity for an open position.
"Go, go to the basket!" Jumping to the highest point, Yang Shuai flicked his wrist and threw the ball towards the basket.
"Can't go in!" "This guy's shot must not even touch the basket!" Eagles fans shouted in their hearts, but Reggie Miller's voice reached the ears of every fan in front of the screen through the microphone.
"An open three-pointer, Yang, yes, the ball went in!" The ball made a hollow hit!
"Shua!" Listening to the crisp voice, Yang Shuai couldn't help but nodded vigorously with half-squinted eyes. This voice was really pleasant to the ear.
"Great job!" Rivers clapped his hands vigorously off the court. "I really don't understand why Yang's three-point ability has improved so much, but I like it."
Of course Rivers likes it. Now Yang Shuai has at least one three-pointer in almost every game. How could he not know how important this is for a substitute outside player? When the Big Three create vacancies, what should other players do? They
The only thing left to do is throw the damn basketball into the hoop.
After celebrating his goal, Yang Shuai immediately focused on the defensive end. He now had to face the Eagles' most active guy in the game, Joe Johnson.
Johnson's good condition in front of him allowed Bibby to pass the ball immediately after dribbling past half court. With the ball in his hand, Johnson immediately signaled his teammates to pull away, and he began to slowly dribble and look for it outside the three-point line.
Opportunity to attack...
Yang Shuai did not stick to him. Johnson had already started dribbling at this time. Sticking to him was not a good defensive method, so he chose to let the opponent go half a step. Johnson did not make a fake move and directly started to break to the left. Yang Shuai had just crossed the ball.
Shifting his weight, Johnson suddenly stopped again.
After changing direction, Johnson's ball was pulled to the right. Yang Shuai, who had made a judgment, turned slightly sideways and prepared to stick to the opponent after Johnson changed. However, at this time, Johnson suddenly accelerated and the target was still on the left side.
"Fake action, damn!" Yang Shuai, who had been deceived, reacted immediately, forcibly turning his body around, and then stuck to Johnson when he was about to rush past him.
As soon as the body came into contact, Yang Shuai immediately burst out his body's power. He was already passive at this time, but he would not give the opponent a chance to easily penetrate the inside.
Yang Shuai's move was indeed effective. The sudden force confrontation caused Johnson's breakthrough to stall for a moment. Yang Shuai, who has rich defensive experience, keenly seized this moment and completely stuck to the opponent's side.
Feeling that he had fallen into a physical entanglement with Yang Shuai, Johnson was furious, but his strength could not completely push Yang Shuai away. Looking inside, Garnett was already prepared to help defend. Johnson changed
He had the idea of rushing directly to the inside.
Johnson, who was charging forward, pulled the ball back. When his body stopped suddenly, he handed the ball that was originally in his left hand to his right hand, and then jumped up and prepared to shoot.
Yang Shuai braked in an emergency, and regardless of whether to hide his face or not, he jumped up and swung his back hand towards the ball. Because of the entanglement with Yang Shuai's body, Johnson's take-off height was not high, and Yang Shuai's back hand even reached the level after jumping.
The lower edge of Johnson's palm exceeded the position of his wrist, which startled Johnson. From his point of view, it seemed that Yang Shuai was about to touch the basketball, and he immediately raised the arc of the ball.
"Bang!" The ball hit the rim and popped out. Garnett controlled the rebound. After receiving the ball, Rondo did not run towards the half court. He followed Rivers' arrangement and kept the rhythm.
"The Celtics are slowing down their pace, which is wise. Several of the Celtics' main players are no longer young, and a fast pace is not good for them." Smith saw Rivers' arrangement at a glance.
Woodson also saw the Celtics' plan. He signaled the players to press harder on the sidelines, forcing the Celtics to pick up the rhythm. However, the Celtics used the ball to move the ball to resolve the pressure.
Shuangduo picked up the ball again, and then paid attention to the running figures of Yang Shuai and Ray Allen. The Eagles' players followed closely, but in the face of the specially designed tactics of the Celtics, their defense was still
Flaws were exposed.
Johnson followed Yang Shuai. When he saw Yang Shuai, who was about to rush to a high position, suddenly ran away, he hurriedly followed him, but as soon as he took a step, he felt he bumped into someone, and he hurriedly shouted: "Make up."
Defend!"
The Hawks did have someone on defense. Power forward Marvin Williams rushed to the three-point line with Yang Shuai. Seeing that Yang Shuai was about to catch Rondo's pass, Williams quickly accelerated, but he did not notice when he rushed forward or backward.
Yang Shuai's figure did not find the shadow of the ball.
"Marvin!" Williams turned around in confusion and saw Yang Shuai receiving the ball at the three-point line not far away. His expression immediately changed and he reluctantly turned around to return to defense. Yang Shuai had already shot.
"Damn it, this kid got another chance to take action!"
"Yang, got rid of Marvin, caught the ball, shot from outside the three-point line, the ball... went in! The ball went in! Another three-pointer, great, suddenly stopped and ran back to throw away the defensive player, a stable three-pointer
Nice shot, Young!" Reggie Miller's voice couldn't help but rise a few decibels, as if he was the one who hit the three-pointer on the court.
"Yeah!" Seeing the ball go into the basket again, Yang Shuai shook his fist equally hard, and another one!
"***e!" At this moment, almost half of the people in Phillips Arena uttered this word toward the court.
