Chapter 80 It is possible to start again

After spending the most important festival of the year for the Chinese, Yang Shuai put his energy into the game again. The situation of the Celtics was very stable. After Pierce returned, Yang Shuai returned to the bench, but his performance was still It can be described as stable. At this time, it shows the benefits of defense. Although Yang Shuai's offensive state was not very good in one or two games, he helped the team with defense and made everyone ignore his offensive strength. downturn.

Before the start of the All-Night Weekend, the Celtics’ record was fixed at 42 wins and 8 losses. When many teams are considering the sprint for the playoffs, the Celtics don’t have to worry about it. With the situation in the East, they are almost ahead of schedule. Locking up a playoff berth, of course, is only a near miss, but no one doubts the Celtics won't make the playoffs.

The All-Star Weekend is finally coming. Yang Shuai is going to New Orleans to participate in the rookie game. He is not alone. Coach Rivers, captain Paul Pierce, Garnett and Rondo are also going to New Orleans with him.

Rivers is the coach of the Eastern All-Star team, Garnett is the Eastern All-Star forward, Pierce is the Eastern All-Star backup forward, and Rondo is the second-year point guard.

For Chinese fans, this All-Star Weekend is a very interesting gathering. Now the three Chinese in the NBA will participate. Year team's and substitutes.

However, many fans believe that although there are three Chinese in this All-Star, there will not be too many opportunities to perform. This has something to do with the style of play between the three.

Yang Shuai also agrees with this point, the rookie competition is a rare opportunity to show himself, but it is not suitable for him now.Yang Shuai's good performance in the Celtics is due to his defense and the defensive firepower of the Big Three, but in the rookie game, individual singles are more important, after all, it is a performance, although Yang Shuai's running position is still Yes, but teammates may not be able to spot his opportunities.

In fact, it is true. In the rookie game, Yang Shuai did not perform as well as he did in the Celtics team. With insufficient singles ability, he wanted to get offensive opportunities through running positions, but the rookies who were also in the first grade had good passing skills. It is very ordinary, a lot of opportunities were wasted in vain.

Yang Shuai played 20 minutes, scored 6 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. The most eye-catching thing was that he completed a dunk on Aldridge's head in the second quarter.

The Chinese fans who expect the three Chinese to perform well in the All-Stars feel a little regretful, because the three of them did not perform too well, but handsome Yang accepts all this calmly. He admits that he still has some problems this season. Weak, give him another year, let alone the rookie game, even in the All-Star game, he believes that he has his own place.

What makes this All-Star Game meaningful to Yang Shuai is that he, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian found time to have a small get-together, and the three who sat together for the first time chatted about their life in the United States.

Yao Ming mentioned in the middle that he wanted Yang Shuai to join the national team for the 08 Olympic Games. Yang Shuai did not answer directly. After staying in this circle for a long time, he understood some things. The issue of joining the national team is very complicated. , he is not mentally prepared yet.From the bottom of his heart, Yang Shuai still hopes to do his part for the country, but he is also worried that the domestic environment will restrict him too much.

During this period, Yang Shuai also cooperated with Nike to do some activities, but in general, he is not busy this All-Star Weekend.

Immediately after the All-Star Game, the trade deadline is approaching, and teams are also seizing the last time to strengthen their lineup. The Suns traded Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks from the Miami Heat for Shaquille - O'Neal, the Mavericks traded to the All-Star point guard Jason Kidd through a big move.In addition, the Rockets, Bulls, Cavaliers, Eagles and other teams also have movements. The Celtics are the most calm team. Although Doug Rivers also wants to strengthen the team lineup, but in There is no suitable opportunity to start in the transfer market.

Of course, the Celtics are not silent at all. They strengthened the inside line at the end of February. The 2-year-old PJ-Brown joined the Celtics at the end of February. His joining will bring Garnett more rest time. At the critical moment, his experience will help the team. , Bowyer, Pollard, and Davis can't do it.

At the end of February, the Celtics had a brief relaxation after the All-Star Game. They lost 6 games in 2 games, and their overall record became 46 wins and 10 losses, but they still ranked first in the league.

Yang Shuai lost to the Eagles' Al Horford in the selection of the best rookie in February, and failed to win the best rookie in the Eastern Conference, but he did not get nothing this month.

In late February, Yang Shuai's blocked shot was successfully upgraded to advanced level and triggered the next task. After consecutive defensive tasks, Yang Shuai finally ushered in another opportunity to improve his offense, three points!

If there is no accident, Yang Shuai will complete this task in the second half of March, and his three-pointer will be upgraded to advanced level by then. This is undoubtedly good news for Yang Shuai, who has always been unstable in outside shooting , Similarly, the Celtics will also be good news.

During this period of time, he and Chu Xiyun had more contacts than before. The strange thing is that since the Spring Festival, Zhu Li has contacted him more often. Talk to Yang Shuai.Because of school affairs, Chu Xiyun has come to watch the games less often recently, and most of the contact between the two is during the break.

It will take some time for the good news of Yang Shuai's improved offensive ability to appear, but after entering March, the Celtics got another good news early.

Rivers, who has been worried about outside rotation, has been particularly happy in training these days. The Celtics signed an experienced veteran-Sam Cassell after entering March.

As one of the contributors to the Rockets' two championships, Cassell, like PJ-Brown, will use his experience to help the Celtics hit the championship. The status quo of their own ability to create scoring opportunities.

After adding two veterans in a row, the Celtics said that the team is fully equipped at this time, and there is no need to adjust the team lineup. The strength and depth of the team are sufficient for the next regular season and postseason game.

Sure enough, starting in March, the Celtics used a wave of seven consecutive victories to continue their strong performance, and their total record improved to 3 wins and 53 losses.

In the game against the Utah Jazz at home, the Celtics encountered some troubles. The Celtics were in a collective downturn and were suppressed by the Jazz on both offense and defense.He grabbed 10 less rebounds than the opponent, and only got 27 rebounds in the whole game. The highest one was Yang Shuai, who came off the bench, with 6.

The lack of protection on the rebounds made the Celtics' shooting percentage not ideal. In the end, they defeated the Utah Jazz 84:111 at home. The winning streak was ended, and their record became 53 wins and 11 losses.

The strength of the Celtics this season is that they can always adjust their state quickly. So far they have not lost two consecutive games. This time they once again showed this super adaptability. They were defeated at home, but when they came to the away game, they beat the Bucks 103:77.

Yi Jianlian was injured and unable to play, which made this game that was supposed to be a Chinese derby lose his original gimmick.Without Yi Jianlian, Yang Shuai alone supported the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans. He played a team-high 32 minutes in the whole game, scored 11 points on 7 of 17 shots, and grabbed 10 rebounds at the same time, completing a double-double again.

Starting from the Bucks, the Celtics have 5 consecutive away games to play. In the next four games, they need to be a guest in the Southwest Division to play against the four teams here. The schedule of four games and two back-to-back away games is called It's not an exaggeration to be a devil's schedule, not to mention that the Spurs, Rockets, Mavericks, and Hornets are all the top eight teams in the Western Conference.

Playing away to the Spurs is definitely a very difficult game, and it is indeed the case. In the first quarter, the Celtics were unacceptably slow. They only scored 11 points in the entire quarter, while the Spurs scored 25 points. A big hole of 14 points was dug in one quarter.

在第二节凯尔特人球员才真正找到感觉,他们这一节以34:25扳回9分,半场比赛以45:50落后5分。

In the third quarter, the Celtics won the opponent 27:19 by 7 points and successfully overtook the score. However, in the next fourth quarter, they encountered tenacious resistance from the Spurs. At the beginning of this quarter, the two teams fell into a stalemate. Alternate leads too.

With the last 3 minutes left in the game, the scene that Rivers least wanted to see happened. Ray Allen stepped on the foot of Bruce Bowen after breaking through for a layup and fell to the ground in pain. It is not important to be intentional. The important thing is that the team doctor clearly told Rivers that Ray Allen will be absent for a period of time, and the specific situation has to wait for the results of the examination.

Yang Shuai was ordered to play at this time, but the entire Celtics team was affected by Ray Allen's injury. They were beaten by the Spurs in a wave of 6:0, and the point difference was widened to 5 points.

Everyone in the Celtics finally remembered what to do after regaining their senses, but the seasoned Spurs were not vegetarians, they always took the lead.Seven seconds before the end, the Celtics trailed the Spurs by 7 points 93:95. Paul Pierce had a chance to kill, but he missed a three-pointer and the Celtics lost their last chance.

Losing in the first game of the Southwest Division, this is not good news for the Celtics. The worse news is that Ray Allen, the team's stable outside scoring point, was injured.The news given by the team doctor after the game is that Ray Allen will be absent for about 10 to 15 days, which means that Rivers will not have to think about Ray Allen's three-pointer for the next two weeks.

The team will then go to Houston to challenge the hot Rockets during this period. How to deal with opponents who have won 22 consecutive victories is a difficult problem for Rivers. Before that, he needs to think about who will be transferred to the lineup Among them, Yang Shuai or Tony Allen?

After learning the news of Ray Allen's injury, the domestic fans most hoped to see Yang Shuai, and it was in the game against the Rockets, although it was impossible to stage the Chinese derby because of Yao Ming's injury.

The Rockets, who have won 22 consecutive victories, met the Celtics, the number one in the league. This is destined to be a wonderful game. Many fans hope that Yang Shuai can play against McGrady. Not really that cooperative.
