New York Knicks beat New York Knicks 92-87
The stars of the two teams, Pierce and Anthony staged a peak showdown
As for the four girls next to the TV, Liu Xiaolu, Ye Wenxuan, He Tiantian, and Chen Yuexin, no one spoke.
Liu Xiaolu stared at the TV screen blankly, and the other three also looked at the screen, but glanced sideways at Liu Xiaolu from time to time.
Liu Xiaolu realized that everyone was creating a tense atmosphere because of her. In order to break the weird atmosphere, Liu Xiaolu spoke first. She pretended to smile: "Yang Zhenxing is really awesome, what do you think?"
Chen Yuexin could not control her admiration for Yang Zhenxing: "Of course Brother Xing is very powerful."
"Where is it? Do you understand? This is just a preseason game." Ye Wenxuan knows more about basketball.
"What happened to the preseason? A good performance in the preseason can prove your strength." He Tiantian came over and interjected.
The discussion about Yang Zhenxing became more and more intense. Liu Xiaolu stood aside and didn’t know what to say.
"You guys chat slowly, I'm going to work." Liu Xiaolu finally squeezed out a sentence
Liu Xiaolu's words shocked them who were talking, but when the three sisters turned to look at Liu Xiaolu, Liu Xiaolu had already gone out, followed by waves of heavy knocks on the door.
With his outstanding performance in the first preseason game, Yang Zhenxing occupied the front page of major newspapers in China. Almost the entire media was reporting on Yang Zhenxing's news.
However, along with these reports came a series of comments. Most domestic experts gave Yang Zhenxing very high evaluations. Because Yang Zhenxing grew up in college in the United States, unlike Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming, Yang Zhenxing received high praise before participating in the draft.
Attention from all over China. Because Yang Zhenxing’s draft pick was very low, the domestic news media did not report extensively on him until Yang Zhenxing performed well in this preseason game.
But this is just a preseason game. Anyone who watches the NBA knows that the value of such a game is far less than that of a formal game. Yang Zhenxing also knows this very well. Once it comes to a formal game, he is very likely to lose even one minute.
Can't get any playing time
Time flies so fast, the preseason is finally over. In these preseason games with the Celtics, Yang Zhenxing averaged 25 minutes per game, averaging 12.6 points and 5.1 assists per game. In addition, he also
It can be said that Yang Zhenxing performed very well throughout the preseason, averaging 1.5 steals per game. However, this was due to the fact that the main players did not have many opportunities to play. During this period, Rondo, Pierce, and Garnett averaged 1.5 steals per game.
He only played about 25 minutes, which was the same as Yang Jin-sung’s playing time.
Because Rondo didn't play too much, and the Celtics didn't have a substitute for the point guard, Yang Zhenxing got a first-line opportunity at the point guard position. He basically served as the point guard half of the time on the court, and the other two
Plays shooting guard half the time
As for Yang Zhenxing's main shooting guard position, Jason Terry's performance was very outstanding, which made Boston fans and coaches and management have high expectations for him. Jason Terry almost served as the main shooting guard throughout the preseason.
As a core player, he averaged 29 minutes per game, 19.5 points, and 4.1 assists per game. He already has a core demeanor, but in the regular season he will still play the role of a bench gangster. Although he still recalls the Big Three as the core,
Terry's status cannot be shaken by Yang Zhenxing.
Yang Zhenxing looked at this series of data and began to analyze his future prospects.
Throughout the preseason, Bradley, who performed well last season, served as the team's starting shooting guard. Although his scoring ability is not strong, his cutting ability is very outstanding, and his cooperation with Rondo is also very tacit.
Lee often performs air cuts and layups in games. In addition, Bradley is a defensive warrior. Last season, he was even considered to be Wade's terminator. In a series of preseason games, Bradley
Deli averaged 23 minutes per game and could score 10.5 points, 3.1 assists, and 1.7 steals. However, these data cannot fully reflect Bradley's abilities. Without Rondo and little playing time, Bradley can
Averaging 10 points per game is quite good. Once Rondo comes on the court, Bradley can be activated. Moreover, he and Rondo have been together for two years, so it is difficult for Yang Zhenxing to replace Bradley's position.
In addition, Yang Zhenxing has set his sights on Pietrus and Courtney Lee. These two people basically have no independent offensive ability, and their ability to organize offense can basically be ignored. When they are both on the court at the same time, the Celtics
There is almost no chance of scoring
Courtney Lee averaged 6 points per game throughout the preseason, while Pietrus only averaged 5.1 points per game. His performance was not very satisfactory, and there was a big gap between him and Yang Zhenxing.
In addition, Green and Pierce have already firmly occupied the small forward position, so there is almost no possibility that Courtney Lee and Pietrus will squeeze into the small forward position.
After a series of objective analysis by Yang Zhenxing, Yang Zhenxing is now confident that he can squeeze out Courtney Lee and Pietrus.
In this case, Yang Zhenxing can still get about 8 minutes at the point guard position, because Rivers obviously trusts Rondo more, and Rondo has very good physical strength and almost does not need to rest.
As for the shooting guard position, Jason Terry and Bradley can occupy almost all the playing time at the beginning of the season. According to calculations, Yang Zhenxing can play at most about 5 minutes at shooting guard. He is better at shooting guard.
Even spending more time at the point guard position
After analyzing and analyzing, Yang Zhenxing found that he could only get about 13 minutes at the beginning of the season. After analyzing this period of time, Yang Zhenxing's mood dropped from the peak to the middle of the mountain.
But after thinking about it carefully, it is already very good for a 51st pick in the second round to get a chance to play at the beginning of the season. 13 minutes can be said to be quite a lot among the entire second round picks.
Yang Zhenxing understands that after these games, his potential has gradually been recognized by Rivers, Pierce, Rondo, Garnett and the majority of Boston fans. It is only a matter of time before he gets a chance.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Yang Zhenxing's face
But how could Yang Zhenxing understand that things in the NBA were far from as simple as he thought?
