Chapter 459 Fierce battle against the Celtics

Chapter 459 Fierce battle against the Celtics
Several consecutive high-intensity games have made Ye Xuan very tired recently, and his own hidden injuries are the kind that need to rest, so after the game against the Knicks, Ye Xuan made a decisive decision Let's have a good game in the next game. Although the opponent is the Celtics who made it to the playoffs last season, Ye Xuan feels that even if he loses the game because of his paddling team Not much of an impact.

But in fact, the Celtics have made great progress this season. Last season, the Celtics made it to the playoffs, which many people could not have imagined. Then the team's potential stocks desperately united to play.Coupled with the fact that Colonel Thomas brought a gun to shoot in the middle, the Celtics finally stood out in the Eastern Conference playoffs and entered the playoffs as the seventh in the Eastern Conference.And in the playoffs, against the recognized strongest Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference, although they were swept away, they also showed their own momentum.

With the foundation of last season's success, the team leaders make persistent efforts, and while maintaining the current lineup, the income expires and the contract clears the salary space.The team traded Wallace for David Lee, which directly increased the expiring contract next year by 500 million, which is a very good signal for a rebuilding team.And judging from the history of the Warriors winning the championship, David Lee's immediate combat power is still there, which is much better than Wallace. If he regains his worth, it will be even better for the transaction.The rest is the draft and renewal of young players, there is nothing to say, it is quite satisfactory.

The balance of the current Celtics lineup is actually very good. The team's strength from No.1 Thomas to No. 10 Jerebko is very balanced.Insider David Lee has rich experience and exquisite skills, Zeller, Salinger, and Oninick are all good insiders who are low-key and practical, and other young strikers are also aggressive types.With such a group of players, the Celtics' style of play is that Thomas handles the ball and plays pick-and-roll... The rest of the players respond without the ball, or Thomas shoots, and the other players grab the rebound and make 2 offenses.This kind of random shooting style of play (not X**D) is simple and rough, seemingly deadly, but in fact, infinite changes can be developed on the team's many pick-and-roll targets.

But the team only had Thomas as a stable ball-holding point, and Smart's growth was still not as good as expected, which is why the team chose another point guard in the end.Another problem for the Celtics is that the other core of the team, Bradley, is actually at the level of the team's fourth man. It is indeed the result of having no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to dominate the team... and the first core Due to his physical condition, Thomas cannot be cultivated for a long time, and can only be used as a temporary choice.

What this team needs now is not the results of the playoffs, nor some high-quality role players, but a soul who can resist the team's progress. I heard that the Celtics are brewing a stormy deal. A waste material like Rondo in the season (Rondo didn't get along with the coach in the Celtics, so he basically didn't play time) can be exchanged for an efficient player like Clyde. Let's see what Danny Ainge can bring us. What kind of surprise will come, this is what many people want to know.

In fact, the performance of the Celtics this season is not like a team that is still rebuilding, because the combat effectiveness they have shown is not as bad as the Raptors and Wizards, and they are completely a playoff-level team. , but they also have some differences from the Raptors and other teams, that is, even though they are in the forefront of the league, they still have a very high draft pick, which is due to the "ruthless" decision that year, At that time, they sent Pierce and Garnett to the Nets in a package, and exchanged a large number of first-round picks from the Nets.

But the Nets have now become the worst of New York's double rotten teams. This season has been going on for two months, and the rotten nets have only won 4 games in total. If you want to know with your ass, their first-round pick will be very good. Of course, these have nothing to do with the Nets, because their first-round picks for the next three years are not in their hands.This makes it impossible for the Nets, who have already entered the reconstruction stage, to see any hope of success in reconstruction, because they use their future to bet on the present, but in the end not only lost the present, but also lost in the future. It is foreseeable that In the next few years, the Nets will only be able to hang out at the bottom of the league.

The Celtics do have their advantages, although it seems that their staffing is not as big-name star-studded as the Cavaliers or Warriors, and they do not have a lot of strength like the Spurs. There are still veterans with salary cuts, but they are able to show their combat effectiveness, just like the Nets back then. Although it is said that the troika brought the team to the finals, in fact, it was basically Kidd in the end. Thanks to Martin and Jefferson, one has declined in various ways after going to the Nuggets, and his final strength is nothing more than a blue-collar of about 15+8, and the other is even more tragic. He became less and less confident, and finally changed from the second child of the team to the third child of the team, was traded, and then became a complete role player.The same is true for the Celtics now. It seems that Thomas, Bradley, Crowder and others are working together to support the team, but in fact, how much combat power Crowder and others have can only be waited for when he leaves. The Celtics didn't know until later (mainly after seeing that Claude is playing too shit in the Cavaliers now.)
Ye Xuan rested here for a whole day, and didn't even participate in the team's daily training, but out of his trust and love for Ye Xuan, Coach Frank didn't say much, and the time came to December 23rd. The Pacers set off to Boston to challenge the Celtics. The last time they visited here, Ye Xuan left a record in this sacred place of the Celtics that made the Celtics rush to shame. That was TD North Shore The scoring record at the Garden Stadium is 69 points, so although Ye Xuan can still see fans cheering for him on the road in some other big cities, but here, there are no ghosts. Go cheer for Ye Xuan, the public enemy of all Celtics.

The game will start soon. The difference between this game and the previous two games is that Chandler needs to miss two weeks because of a muscle strain, so Frank Vogel announced the starting list before the start of the game. Naturally, there has been no change in the starting backcourt, but the starting power forward has become Myles Turner, while Jordan Hill has been pushed to the center position.

At the beginning of the game, although Jordan Hill came from the power forward position, Jordan Hill was originally a center forward player, so facing Jared Salinger, he still overwhelmed his opponent and patted the ball into Ye Xuan's hands. Ye Xuan Dribbled two steps forward, and then handed the ball to Rondo to control. Today he made up his mind to play a game of soy sauce, so he is not going to attack with the ball by himself.

Rondo faced Thomas Jr. and wanted to break through his opponent directly, but Thomas Jr. was indeed a little short in stature, but he was also very agile. A lateral move blocked Rondo's breakthrough route, and he was about to reach out Taking out Rondo's ball, as a top point guard, Rondo will not be easily intercepted by his opponent, but facing the pressure of Thomas Jr., Rondo can only pass the ball quickly, and Ye Xuan from the outside receives the ball. When it came to passing the ball, he dribbled twice and immediately passed the ball to Paojiao, letting him play singles.

When Pickle received the ball, the Pacers had less than 7 seconds left to attack, so it was too late to make any moves. They could only simply squeeze two steps in from the outside line and then hastily jump back. The shot was made. Although Claude didn't cap the ball, he successfully interfered with Pickle's shot. In the end, the basketball ended in a strike, and the rebound was also pocketed by Amir Johnson.

Looking back, Thomas Jr. received a pass from Amir Johnson and immediately launched a fast break, rushing towards the Pacers halfcourt. The strongest 175 on the surface was indeed not blocked, and the speed was very good. Just rushed to the Pacers' three-point line. The Pacers' defense was pretty good, so Thomas didn't find a chance to hit the basket directly. During the battle, Thomas Jr. suddenly changed direction and accelerated to pass the supplementary defense of Pickled Pepper, and then rushed towards the inside of the Pacers. Facing Miles Turner's supplementary defense, Thomas Jr. was very calm, Using his own rhythm to deceive Turner, and then hit him, the basketball in his hand also flew to the basket, and the whistle blew!In the ball!

Seeing that his team played a beautiful 2+1 at the beginning, the fans at the TD North Shore Garden Stadium immediately cheered, and there were naturally some provocations and insults towards Ye Xuan mixed in, this scolding doesn't matter , immediately aroused Ye Xuan's desire to counterattack. After coming to the front court again, Ye Xuan changed his lazy appearance in the previous round, and immediately started cutting inside after helping Rondo pick and roll, and then received a pass from Rondo. After the ball, it was the same as Thomas Jr.'s attack just now. He tricked Jared Salinger and then hit the ball. However, because Ye Xuan still cared a little about his injury, he didn't foul the opponent. , so it's just a two-pointer.

The Celtics are still on the offensive like a rainbow. Thomas Jr. holds the ball and comes to the frontcourt and is about to break through again immediately. However, Rondo's steal is not fake. After all, he is the man who once beat Paul to win the title of steal king. It wasn't for Rondo who stood out in the 09-10 season, then Paul might have won the title of steals king for 7 consecutive games.So Thomas was not paying attention, and Rondo almost stabbed the ball in his hand. Fortunately, Thomas's chassis is low, so even if he held the ball in his arms, he passed it to Bradley on the side.

Bradley naturally didn't dare to be careless when facing Ye Xuan's defense. After all, Wall, who was careless last time, is now a meter high on his grave, so he immediately called Jared Salinger to help with the pick-and-roll. He rushed towards the inside line of the Pacers, but Ye Xuan didn't seem to do much on the defensive end, so he didn't chase and defend, so it was Myles Turner who could only defend, but Pickle Filling Jared Sullinger's space can only give up the defense against Crowder, but Bradley's pass happened to find Crowder. Hit a three-pointer.

The opponent scored 6 points in two consecutive rounds at the beginning. Coach Frank of the Pacers is also a little angry, but he also knows that as long as he can play an effective role on the offensive end, his team's substitutes can be in the rotation. Help the team recover the point difference, so no adjustments have been made.

He didn't do much on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, Ye Xuan wasn't going to make things easier for those Celtics fans who booed him, so he decisively came to the frontcourt and asked Rondo for the ball, and Rondo would naturally not refuse. After receiving the pass, Ye Xuan made a few crotches in a row, then suddenly took a step back and pulled it up to make a three-point shot. In fact, in the usual training, if Ye Xuan's ball is defended, his hit rate is only [-]. Five is the number, but this time his luck is still good, the basketball is hollow into the net.

After hitting the ball, Ye Xuan also started to fight back, but maybe it was because Ye Xuan was a little too depressed recently, or maybe it was because his brain was short-circuited, so when he hit back at those fans, Ye Xuan made a The action is to shake his finger towards the auditorium. Due to the addition of Uncle Mu's talent for shaking his finger, Ye Xuan's finger is shaking like a slippery one, and the result is. . . . . .The referee put a T on his face. Seeing Ye Xuan's stunned look, the referee was also very helpless. Yes, you are indeed the person who the boss of the league asked to take care of, but you still frantically made the action of affirming that you would eat a T in front of yourself. Is it too arrogant?

Ye Xuan also knew that he had gone too far just now, so he didn't argue with the referee.The Celtics inexplicably got a free throw opportunity for a technical foul, and Thomas Jr. made a steady shot.However, in this round, although the Celtics scored a free throw, they failed to hit the offensive position. The pick-and-roll between Bradley and Jared Salinger failed to take effect in the end, and Thomas Jr., who shot in a panic, also failed. Under Rondo's interference, he failed to make a shot.

After Ye Xuan grabbed the rebound, he was ready to counterattack the opponent, but the Celtics' defense was obviously well practiced. They didn't give the Pacers any chance, so Ye Xuan could only give up and pass the ball After Rondo controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, he used pickled peppers to cover and Ye Xuan's running position to confuse the opponent's sight, and then successfully helped Myles Turner hit a long-range two-pointer. The team had already tied 7:7 at this time, and the game had only started for less than 2 minutes.
