Chapter 589: Conventional Combat
After Byron's injury, Yang Di's ball possession rate increased significantly, and his average points per game also skyrocketed, from an average of about 24 points and 25 points per game to an average of 29 points per game
Ray Allen's average points per game has also risen, averaging about 18 points and 19 points per game when he first came to the Warriors, and now he is averaging 22.4 points per game, and his shooting percentage has also risen all the way, now reaching 48.1 percent, which is very amazing for a player who is outside and mostly shoots to finish the offense.
The cooperation between the two is in a stage of rapid running-in and rapid mutual adaptation, and has achieved very good results.
The Warriors didn't have the pundit that experts predicted or fans imagined, but instead won a lot of games in a row and still ranked first in the league.
Relatively speaking, the Celtics have fewer stars, and the lineup is not complete, and there is an essential gap in the strength of the two teams.
However, the strange thing is that after the start of the game, the two sides did not show a clear reflection of strength, the Celtics players shot well, hit some mid-to-long-range jumpers, and after half a quarter, they led the Warriors by one point 16-15 on the road.
Chandler received a foul and went off the pitch with Biedrins on the court.
Beedlins is also very active in grabbing rebounds, and he has set himself a clear goal, which is to become a player like Yang Di in the first grade, who can grab rebounds, receive empty spots, and help defend blocks.
Yang Di singled Al Jefferson in the low post, held the ball in his right hand, turned to the baseline, and the card owner turned over and jumped at a little position.
Jefferson jumped up to interfere, and could only barely cover Yang Di's eyes.
Yang Di threw it out by feeling, and now he is familiar with the bottom line, and the basketball is gently flicked into the net.
"Accurate!"
Ray Allen gave a thumbs up and high-fived Yang Di in celebration, Yang Di's low ball just now was passed by him, but I don't know if it counts as an assist. Want to read a book ??· yKANSHU·COM
At 16-15, the Warriors led by one point.
The Celtics attacked in the frontcourt, Telfair changed direction in front of Fisher, and then dribbled the ball on the right side to advance, and transferred it to Pierce at about 45 degrees from the three-point line.
Pierce faced Danny Granger head-on and picked up the ball to try to attack.
One step of temptation, two steps.
Danny Granger stepped back slightly to prevent Pierce's sudden start-up breakout.
But at this moment, Pierce suddenly rose from the ground, held the ball high with both hands, and completed the entire shooting action in the air, and the height of the jump was not very high.
Granger pounced, feeling like he was just touching Pierce's basketball.
Pierce takes a shot against Granger's defense.
The three-point shot kept tumbling in the air, and the arc was very high.
Under the gaze of everyone, he plunged into the net, and made a crisp sound of wiping the net, and rolled up the white net flowers.
"Beautiful!"
Rivers applauded and yelled as if he had scored the goal himself.
Pierce walked back very indifferently, probably because of the cold weather, the players of the two teams on the field were not particularly interested, and the offensive rhythm of the game was not fast, such a rhythm is his favorite style.
The Warriors attacked, and Yang Di blocked for Ray Allen.
Ray Allen received the ball and pretended to shoot, Tony Allen did not take a feint, and followed Ray Allen closely, looking very focused.
On the wing, Ray Allen blocked and dismantled Yang Di again, and walked the bottom line in reverse, while Yang Di cut empty-handed, attracting the Celtics' bag, and there were a bunch of green shirts on the strong side of the ball.
Ray Allen wanted to move to the weak side, but was worried that too long a pass would be cut off by the rest of the Celtic players.
In addition, Tony Allen's defensive pressure was not strong at this time, so he directly stopped the jump shot, leaned forward, and threw the ball.
Also, 18-18, the two sides drawn.
Pierce assisted Telfair for a layup, Jandy turned around and missed a jumper, and then Pierce's shot was also missed, and the two sides were scoreless for a while.
Just when the audience was bored watching, the Celtics suddenly exploded.
First, Pierce hit another three-pointer from the outside, and then Al Jefferson hit a jumper, and the Celtics scored five straight points to lead the Warriors 23-18.
Young Di hit the ball to Danny Granger in the air, and Granger made a layup that caused Jefferson to foul and go to the free throw line.
"I don't know why, but I always feel like the arena is so quiet today." Ron Adams turned his head and smiled and said to the head coach that the number of people was small, and the game was dull, and there were not many fans shouting cheers in a stadium, only continuous, noisy discussions.
"Bang!"
Ray Allen assisted on Youngdy's dunk in the air, and the Warriors trailed the Celtics 22-25.
Then, the game entered a mandatory timeout, a 100-second long timeout, and the players of both teams also returned to the court, and head coach Montgomery began to rotate the lineup.
Montgomery had the right to send his troops, and all the players on the bench were staring at him.
"Monta, Matt, you guys play." Montgomery groaned slightly, then switched on Matt Barnes, who was better defensively, and played a lot earlier than his regular appearance.
Matt Barnes was slightly stunned, then immediately reacted, nodded and took off his coat.
Of course he knows his mission, the Celtics only have one core, and he is known for his defense, and if he doesn't defend Paul Pierce, there is no need to replace him.
On the other side, Celtic also rotated the lineup, with players such as Delonte West and Leon Bowe playing.
Delonti West, the 12th pick in the first round in '04, was drafted by the Celtics and started a season last season and performed very well, averaging 12 points, 4.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and is considered to have outstanding potential.
But in the offseason, Delonte wasted his workout, not only did his body fat percentage rise significantly, but he also felt bad, and Rivers was so angry that he was demoted to the bench as the sixth man.
After a month or two of racing and training, Delonti West is back to last season's form and is on the rise, and it's only a matter of time before he gets back into the starting line-up.
Facing a languished Monta Ellis, Delondi quickly changed direction and slipped into the Warriors' position.
Then in front of Yang Di's supplementary defense, Gao threw his hand and hit it.
27 to 22, Yang Di was also surprised, he didn't expect this unattractive guy to have two brushes, and his style was very similar to Monta Ellis.
Monta is also unhappy, after a year of training, Monta is now very capable of scoring, and he is very confident in scoring.
Delonti, who entered the league just a season before him, has cleaned him up, and of course he needs to get back on the court.
So after half the court, he continued to dribble under his crotch and exchanged dribbles behind his back, facing Delonti West, pretending to break through left and right, and suddenly stepped out with his right foot, and burst into a strong step, as fast as a black lightning.
Delonte West's defense was a little better than Monta's, but it wasn't much better, and for a moment, Monta Ellis had already made it inside and hit the basket in three steps.
Monta Ellis threw himself into the air and took on Al Jefferson with a low-handed pick-and-roll.
"There it is!"
He was overjoyed, and he felt that the ball felt good.
But alas, the basketball rolled out after a circle on the basket.
Yang Di, who was stuck in the main position under the basket, picked up the ball, rebounded in the front court on the second jump, and distributed it to the outside Ray Allen to reorganize the offense.
