Thomas Jr. gave the Celtics their second straight offensive success, and many fans in front of the TV were stunned. This guy who is only 1.75 meters tall, how can He De be so powerful?

In fact, it's not Thomas Jr. alone, it's the entire system of the Celtics.

Yiyang put away a little excitement and became calm. Just two defenses, in fact, were deceived by Thomas Jr.'s feints. In the next game, you have to be more focused!

Defense, this is undoubtedly Thomas Jr.'s biggest hole. While Stevens is equipped with Bradley and Evan. Turner came to "wipe his ass", but for a scorer of Yiyang's level, this ass is not so easy to wipe clean.

Yiyang didn't want to cover, but raised his hand to direct his teammates to run. In fact, Thomas Jr.'s physical fitness is quite remarkable, and he is 1.75 meters tall but weighs 83 kilograms. You know, Lowry and Paul are only 80 kilograms.

Look at little Thomas's thick arms, and you know how wonderful this guy's body is. In terms of strength, Thomas Jr. has an absolute advantage. But height is something you can't get out of no matter how hard you try.

Yiyang took a step back to make room for himself, and then accelerated to the right.

Just when the bodies of the two were about to collide together, Yiyang quickly changed direction, a crossover with a large arc, and Yiyang cleaned up little Thomas!

"It's extremely fast, and I rarely see anyone who can break through little Thomas with speed, not his body!"

At the same time, Bradley came over to make up for it, and Thomas Jr. also chased after Yiyang. Yiyang seems to be very resolute in jumping and shooting, but in fact, Yiyang just jumps up and passes.

The basketball flew over Bradley's head and into Wade's hand. Letting go of Wade is no different from giving up your life.

Medium and close range jumpers, Wade did not waste Yiyang's wonderful pass. The Celtics' supplementary defense is indeed very good, but if it is in place, Yiyang can also find gaps in it.

Thomas Jr. is indeed very powerful, but don't forget, his opponent is Yiyang, who is expected to win the regular season MVP trophy for three consecutive years!

The next time the Celtics attacked, Yiyang didn't give Thomas Jr. any space. As soon as the opponent approached the three-point line, Yiyang used his body to put pressure and took the initiative to find a confrontation.

In the past, no defender dared to defend Thomas Jr. like this, sticking so tightly, only Thomas Jr. was passed by one step.

Little Thomas has a strong sense of rhythm, snapping two crotches and changing hands to speed up, but Yiyang immediately moved sideways, blocking Little Thomas's way to death!

Thomas Jr. gritted his teeth, he was well aware of how strict Stevens was on defense. It seems that Yiyang has been cultivated into good defensive habits in college.

Seeing this, Zeller stepped forward to cover. Thomas Jr. broke through with cover for the third time, but Yiyang turned around flexibly with Zeller as the axis, and instantly returned to Thomas Jr.

"Nice defense!" Mike. Brin couldn't help but shout, Yiyang's defense against Thomas Jr. in this round was perfect! Every block, every move, is just right.

In fact, Yiyang's defense is excellent, and it's not just because of his speed. Irving is also fast, so why is he always criticized for not being good enough defensively?

The reason is simple, Yiyang's defensive awareness and ability to read the opponent's attack to predict the next move have reached the level of Kidd back then. Relying on the mind to defend, this is what Yiyang really excels at the defensive end. After only two rounds of playing Thomas Jr., Yiyang has already touched some of Thomas Jr.'s offensive doorways.

In desperation, Thomas Jr. had to pass the ball to Evan, who was out of the gap. Turner. But Iguodala's defense was so easy to get rid of, as he leaped two strides high and seriously interfered with Turner's shot.

"Missed, Boston Celtics missed first!"

After that, things are very simple, Gobert made a long pass in the backcourt, Yiyang used his height advantage to easily receive the basketball, and then directly scored with both hands!

In less than five seconds, the Mavericks fought a counterattack, which was their deadliest part! Stevens shook his head, this time the failure was not because Thomas Jr. was not good enough. Because any defender in this league can't succeed when he encounters the kind of defense just now!

Look at how rebellious Curry has been in front of others this season, but in front of Yiyang, he has twice been prevented from shooting less than 30% of three-point shots.

This defeat became a turning point for the Celtics. After another attack, Thomas Jr. still used blocking and speed to break through, and most of his speed couldn't keep up, but Yiyang was obviously not among them.

It's another spoon layup, and Gobert is very helpless about this chicken thief's layup. If you don't pounce, you won't be able to cover the ball. Pounce on it, and it's easy to foul.

Just when Thomas Jr. thought that this offense was inevitable, Yiyang flew from behind him and mercilessly fanned the layup to the stands behind the rebound.

After landing, Yiyang didn't even celebrate, but coldly instructed Gobert to block the opponent's serve. This kind of coldness can bring people a sense of oppression!

"The Celtics' offense is starting to get a little messy, and Coach Stevens' tactics are fine, and Thomas Jr.'s execution is fine. The problem is that the opposing side has a super defensive specialist. ”

Fortunately, Bradley's mid-range shot stopped the bleeding for the Celtics temporarily. But this kind of goal is not a goal in Stevens' tactics. The Celtics can't afford to sustain a whole game with a goal like this.

So after a stunning start, the Celtics began to drift into mediocrity. Thomas Jr. only scored two points in the game after the first quarter, and this guy has never seen a defender like Yiyang who can lock people up.

At 26-21, Game 1 ended with the Mavericks taking the lead by five points.

Stevens looked up at the big screen, and the difference was 5 points, which was still within the acceptable range. At least this proves that the Celtics are not too far behind in defense and offense.

Taking a look at the entire bench, the Celtics now only have Thomas Jr. as a reliable scoring point.

If you want to make a difference on the offensive end, you have to make the whole team serve Thomas Jr. Since Yiyang only allowed Thomas Jr. to score two points in the second half of the first quarter, he tried to create scoring opportunities for Thomas Jr.

"Olynyk, Jerebko, you two, start the second quarter!" Stevens waved his hand, and it wasn't over yet!

Olynyk and Jerebko, these two guys are not superstars. Compared to Carter and others on the Mavericks bench, they are not so famous.

Before entering the draft, Olynyk was unsurprisingly once again hailed as the hope of a white center. Of course, this hope did not materialize. Jerebko has been famous in the European league for a long time, but in the NBA, he is too slow to play the No. 3 position and too soft to play the No. 4 position, but he has never had anything to do with the word "star".

These two big men with mediocre abilities don't seem to be of much help in chasing points. But these two guys have one thing in common, and that's why Stevens decided to switch to them, three-point ability!

Whether it's Olynyk or Jerebko, they're the kind of big man shooters who can stretch out space and make three-point shots. Counting Bradley, Thomas Jr. and Evan Jr., who were originally playing as starters. Turner, the Celtics now have five people on the court who can shoot threes!

This is Stevens' method of chasing points!

After the start of the second quarter, perhaps to give Yiyang a little more rest, Carlisle did not send Yiyang, but let Sherwin, who performed well in the first quarter. Mark continued to play.

Shervin. Mark, who Stevens knows well, is the longest-serving player on the Bulldogs. After Yiyang and Hayward left the NBA, Mark and Stevens brought the Bulldogs to the finals for the second year in a row, but unfortunately did not win the championship.

Mark is also Stevens' favorite disciple, and Stevens is very happy that guy can now establish himself in the NBA. But one thing must be admitted, Mark's talent and hard work are nowhere near as good as Yiyang's. Defensively, the same is true. Mark's defense is excellent, but nowhere near as perverted as Yiyang.

Shervin. Mark is eyed by Carlisle precisely for defense, and his strong body is able to restrain most point guards. But on the contrary, the last thing Thomas Jr. is afraid of is a power point guard!

Thomas Jr. controlled the ball and ran over, and the four Celtics shooters stood in each of the four corners, which made Thomas Jr. get an unusually wide space!

Thomas Jr. ran outside the three-point line and switched the ball to his left hand, leaning to the left, slowing down and seemingly intending to pass.

Mark also slowed down his pace and lowered his center of gravity. But in the next second, Thomas Jr. changed the ball to his right hand again and accelerated the breakthrough!

Stop and start quickly, this is Yiyang's usual way of passing people. I have to admit that Thomas Jr. is really very similar to Yiyang in many places.

The great thing about this tactic is that if Thomas Jr. can get past the defender, then the defender will either give up the box or give up outside the three-point line.

Gobert chose to give up beyond the three-point line, and he couldn't have made the right choice. Because of the empty basket, Thomas Jr. will score 100% of the time. But outside the three-point line, Olynyk may also not be able to shoot.

Seeing this, Thomas Jr. calmly split the ball. But today Olynyk was very competitive, and his three-point shot went into the net. As soon as it opened, Stevens' change of formation worked.

In the second attack, Thomas Jr. continued to repeat his old tricks. With his speed and realistic feints, he wants to get past Shervin. Mark, a tank-type point guard, can be used in 100 different ways.

This time, Gobert still chose to defend the basket, and Mark was also very smart to pounce on Olynyk. But Thomas Jr. didn't slow down after getting up to speed, he was confident in his ability to make fouls!

Thomas Jr. used inertia to jump to the defender's chest, maintain his balance in the strong confrontation, and steady the basketball.

It seems simple, but you have to know that the 1.75-meter Thomas Jr. can stabilize the balance against a strong man like Gobert, and you can know how terrifying his core strength is.

The ball goes in, the whistle blows, and the three points are successful! The unyielding little man fighter was not afraid of the Mavericks, a historic powerhouse. As long as Stevens gives the order, he will stop going to the soup!

"A chance to hit a three! If the free throw is hit, the Celtics will complete the comeback! Incredible little Thomas, who, like a revolutionary, challenges the authority of the rulers! "Mike. Brin couldn't help but give a standing ovation, he had never seen such an amazing little man.

Although the Celtics have started to gain momentum on the field, Carlisle looks relaxed.

He originally wanted Yiyang to rest more, but now it seems that Yiyang has no life to rest.

As long as Yiyang plays, it is impossible for Thomas Jr. to play such a performance.

"Also!" As he spoke, Carlisle shouted. "Go to the tech desk and get ready, listen, I don't want to see him score easily anymore."

Yiyang nodded, got up and took off his training clothes. ()
