Chapter 267: Breaking the Spur Barrier
The sound of "swish", the sound of the basketball hollow wiping the net, this is the most beautiful melody on the basketball court!
"He turned out to be the Spurs' first point of attack!" Ye Hai looked at Liu Hao, who was high-fived with his teammates after scoring a goal, in surprise, and unconsciously looked at the old coach Popovich who was standing on the sidelines with a serious face, "Popovich's tactics are really unexpected!" ”
The Celtics assisted Johnson with Paul to complete a mid-range jumper and immediately overtook the score, but looking back, Gasol, who mentioned the middle line, used the strategy again to catch Parker's breakthrough ball, and used his height as a fulcrum to pass the ball to Liu Hao who was standing at a 45° position, Rush had already consciously defended after the last ball was thrown by the opponent for 3 points, but he didn't expect that at the same time as Gasol's pass, Aldridge actually pulled out to block and dismantle Liu Hao, which is completely the treatment of a superstar player!
Liu Hao took a step to the left after receiving the ball, and jumped directly to shoot, although Johnson made up for the shot, but the opponent's shot speed was too fast, almost with Stephen Curry's shooting speed, before his own block blocked the shooting route, the ball flew in front of him and flew directly into the net!
Liu Hao's second three-pointer in the opening game! It's like the opening of the Timberwolves' Rubio when he hit two three-pointers in a row!
“sh.it! It's really like a spur attached to Huazheng! Liu Hao's signature three-point goal made Ye Hai seem to have returned to the period of the high school national competition, when Zijin Middle School faced Huazheng Affiliated High School, Liu Hao at that time also used an incredibly accurate three-point shot, which brought a lot of trouble to Zijin Middle School, which entered the national competition for the first time!
6-4! Both offensive attempts in the opening period were successful, but the Spurs relied on two three-pointers to take a two-point lead. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Paul carried out the head coach's intention, after Johnson came to block and dismantle, Paul, who threw off Parker, went straight to the inside, and threw the ball into the air when Gasol came to make up for the defense, and Horford, who was standing behind Gasol, rose into the air and received the ball in the air and prepared to dunk with both hands!
But the alert Leonard retreated to the basket and slapped the basketball in Horford's hand with one hand, so that the two-handed dunk did not succeed in sending the ball to the basket, and the basketball bounced high on the back edge of the basket, but before Horford and Leonard, who were still in the air, fell, Ye Hai had already rushed to the horse, jumped high, and his hands were almost flush with the highest point of the rebound, re-grasping the bounced basketball, and hitting the ball into the basket cleanly like playing volleyball!
"Ye Hai..." Leonard looked at the back of Ye Hai, who was showing amazing bounce, and silently thought in his heart.
In the first half, the game between the two teams was not shocking, the offensive efficiency of both sides was very high, but the pace was not fast, and they were all stable, Liu Hao scored 12 points on 4 of 5 shots under Popovich's specially set 3-point tactics, like an X factor of a team! Ye Hai did not become the main offensive point of the Green Army in the first half as before, and the Celtics almost dominated the interior attack throughout the first half, and Ye Hai, Rush, Paul and other outside players did not shoot much.
At the end of the first half, the two sides entered the second half at 48-45, and Liu Hao's 3-pointer helped the Spurs lead by 3 points.
Everything is going according to Popovich's plan, using Liu Hao's three-point shot to attack the opponent by surprise, disrupting the opponent's defensive center of gravity, while doing a good job of outside defense, and then in the second half, relying on Aldridge and Leonard's offense to win the game!
Popovich's calculations are not shrewd, and the Spurs' lead in the first half is indeed expected by Popovich, although Ye Hai has not yet exerted his strength in the first half, but the shrewd Popovich has already prepared in advance, once Ye Hai begins to take the initiative to attack, he will use Leonard's full defense to completely lock Ye Hai's offense, after the team watched the Timberwolves vs. Celtics game together, Wiggins' defense of Ye Hai made Leonard full of confidence!
In the second half, the Celtics did not have reservations as in the first half, and the ball for the first attack was handed over to Ye Hai, who had a mediocre performance in the first half.
It seemed that everything was under his control, and after Popovich's eyes made contact with Leonard, Leonard immediately stepped forward to defend and prevent Ye Hai's breakthrough.
A smile appeared on Popovich's lips, as long as Yahai and Leonard had a hard time, the Spurs would win half of it! In his mind, Leonard's defense is more than a notch higher than Wiggins', and arranging Leonard's defense is equivalent to erecting a solid defensive barrier in front of the strongest point of the Celtics' score.
Although he was well prepared, Ye Hai's first step was still faster than Leonard's imagination, and when he found that he had been thrown away by Ye Hai's suddenly activated first step, the experienced Leonard immediately fouled in advance and did not give Ye Hai a chance to break through and score.
Compared with the Timberwolves, the Spurs' Leonard who defends alone is indeed much better than Wiggins, but Liu Hao, who is on the weak side, is far worse than Za LaVine, after all, defense has never been Liu Hao's strength!
Popovich did not hesitate, and immediately replaced Liu Hao with Danny Green, who was more defensive, and was determined to suppress Ye Hai.
"In this way, we can contain Ye Hai's offense like the Timberwolves did before!" Popovich thought to himself.
Horford sent a throw-in, Ye Hai received a pass from Paul, and Leonard's defense was again in front of him, and his extra-long arm span was constantly swaying in front of him, interfering with his vision.
Contrary to the expectations of Leonard, Popovich and others, Ye Hai actually took the initiative to turn his back and approach inward with the ball in one hand, which was completely a back-to-back move!
"Didn't this guy know how to backfight a few days ago?" Popovich's mind spun very quickly, and he immediately shouted at Leonard, who also showed a surprised expression, on the sidelines: "Kawaii, don't be afraid, he's just putting on a show!" ”
As soon as Popovich's words fell, Ye Hai suddenly started, using his body to turn his back to Leonard and constantly push inside!
"This guy's back punch is not posturing!" Leonard reacted instantly, but it was too late, he thought that Ye Hai would not play with his back, he learned Wiggins' defense before, leaving enough space for Ye Hai to back his body, but he didn't expect the other party to hit the basket strongly, when the basket was under the basket, as soon as the two made contact, Ye Hai took his left foot as the axis after dribbling the ball, and at the same time hit the left arm with dark energy in his left arm, Leonard instantly felt a tightness in his chest, and saw that Ye Hai had pulled up on the spot!
With a "boom", just like the performance in training with Pierce, Ye Hai used his back to resist Leonard, who was a little hesitant, to come to the basket, and then turned around and scored with one hand!
"He... He... He—" Amir Johnson said with an exaggerated expression, "he learned to backbeat in such a short time!" ”
"Hey... Is there anything this young man can't do? I'm no stranger anymore! From the moment he entered the alliance, I knew that this kid was not simple. Horford said to his interior partner.
"His ability to learn is beyond my imagination, and it's incredible that a player who is already so strong in attack can learn new attacking skills as quickly as a sponge." Paul's heart was equally amazed.
Seeing Ye Hai's back beating caused everyone's surprise, Pierce, who was sitting in the VIP seat with Bird, showed a satisfied smile, and Pierce, who had verbally promised Danny and Bird, would officially join the Boston Celtics coaching team just waiting for the news to be announced, and now, he has begun to take on the task of guiding Ye Hai alone.
After Ye Hai made up for the last bit of lack in the offense, the most fastidious defender couldn't find the flaws in Ye Hai's offense. Ye Hai's back play brought 2 benefits to himself at the same time, 1 is to add an offensive method, which is the most obvious, 2 is to increase the difficulty of the defender's defense, because they no longer dare to put Ye Hai's back play space, and it also liberates Ye Hai's face frame attack even more!
Therefore, in the current theory, the only thing that can affect Ye Hai's offense is his own feel, or the number of players who defend him. But with only five players on the basketball court, plus the Celtics and Paul and Horford, their offense looks unstoppable!
Leonard, who was shocked by Ye Hai's back hit, seemed to have suddenly lost the rhythm of defense, and what he lost was his confidence in defense! Ye Hai used his newly learned back playing skills to integrate his previous basketball experience and offensive skills with it, so that the Spurs' defense began to have holes!
Although Popovich later adopted a two-man package tactic, Ye Hai's ability to break through and assist is also good, and after playing with Paul for a month, Ye Hai has also made great progress in how to handle the ball.
The Spurs' seemingly impregnable defensive barrier completely collapsed under Ye Hai's offense, Aldridge also tried to counterattack, but it was difficult to beat four hands with both fists, Paul and Horford also began to exert strength, and the Celtics opened the score gap to more than 10 points in the fourth quarter, and maintained this advantage until the end!
In the face of Ye Hai, who had no solution in this game, Popovich was quite helpless, if Stevens let Ye Hai show his back attack in the first half, then at halftime he could also discuss with his think tank how to deal with Ye Hai in the second half, but Stevens obviously thought of this, so that Ye Hai showed this hand in the second half, which caught Popovich and the Spurs off guard.
"This young coach is not easy either." Through this match, Stevens made a big impression on Popovich's heart!
97-111, the Celtics at home won by 14 points to defeat the Spurs who dominated the court in the first half, and all the turning points happened in the second half after Ye Hai took the initiative to start attacking, Ye Hai's sudden back play technique played a surprising winning effect when breaking the defense of Leonard and the Spurs.
"Boston is going to be an amazing team." Popovich glanced at the Celtics trident who had gathered after the game - Horford, Yahi, and Paul, and suddenly remembered the days when the GDP combination was under his hands. (To be continued.) )
