Chapter 219: Let the NBA reacquaint itself with Chinese players

As a Chinese player, it is inevitable that you will encounter different eyes when playing in the NBA, Ye Hai, as a player who has been very obsessed with NBA games since Yao Ming entered the NBA, has naturally heard of this "tradition", and as a hot-blooded young man, Ye Hai has made up his mind in his heart from the moment he landed in the NBA with his top eye show, and he must rely on his own ability to play a world in the NBA!

After experiencing the first half with the Chicago Bulls, Ye Hai has begun to gradually adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game, coupled with the encouragement of Horford and Paul at halftime, so that Ye Hai completely and completely became the original Ye Hai at the beginning of the third quarter! That Ye Hai, who is the only one in the youth team!

Ye Hai, who had an outstanding performance in the second quarter, encountered the Bulls' tight defense at the beginning of the second half, and under the angry rebuke of Bulls head coach Hojberg and the gaze of Michael Jordan, Jimmy Butler completely treated the 18-year-old Chinese youth standing in front of him as a highly regarded star.

Just one hour ago, Butler had just regarded the Chinese player as a promising young player who could play well in Asia, and he didn't expect that the other party would subvert his opinion so quickly. In fact, it was just Butler, and even Barkley reversed his previous opinion and happily gave away the $100 he had bet.

Paul saw that Ye Hai was pressed close by Butler, and a look was passed to the inside, Amir Johnson immediately came out to make a block for Paul, and Paul used the cover to pass Rondo's defense and rush into the inside.

For Paul, the Bulls definitely don't dare to underestimate it, and the attention of Robin Lopez and Taki Gibson was immediately attracted to Paul! Paul came to the free throw line one step in quickly, and threw the ball behind Lopez's back against Gibson's defense, and Lopez had a bad mind!

Horford, who was standing behind Lopez, jumped high and received a pass from Paul and hit a two-handed dunk! Score first for Celtic in the second half!

55-45! For the first time, the Green Shirts stretched the gap to double digits in the game!

Horford, who dunked happily, excitedly slid out. The plane ran back and high-fived Paul as it passed by.

It was at this time that the somewhat hot-headed Hojberg realized that the core of the Celtics was obviously Paul and Horford, so why was his attention completely focused on this Chinese small forward. And the Bulls players also suddenly woke up at this time, and the Celtics' signature players are Paul and Horford!

At this moment, Celtics coach Stevens, who was standing on the sidelines and observing the game, was very happy: "I originally thought that after the Celtics sent away Isiah, Avery and Jalen, their offensive power might become a problem in the new season, but I didn't expect that Ye Hai's performance on the offensive end was completely beyond my expectations, Paul, Horford, and Ye Hai may become our trident in the new season!" ”

Originally, before the game with the Celtics, it was well arranged, using Rondo's super individual defensive ability on the outside, plus Wade's assistance, to lock Paul's passing route, and at the same time using the combination of Lopez and Gibson on the inside to squeeze Horford's space, and Jimmy Butler was responsible for the main offense. I didn't expect this plan to be almost completely broken by Ye Hai alone!

Ye Hai's play, in the confrontation with Butler, did not fall behind, and even had a faint upper hand, which made the Bulls' defense begin to take care of one or the other. However, Paul, Yahi, and Horford's outside-in connection combination is getting smoother and smoother, and even Brandon Rush and Amir Johnson have benefited from the play of these three, and they frequently get easy scoring or open shots!

In the third quarter to strengthen the defense of Ye Hai, the Celtics played more relaxed, Ye Hai only used one shot in this quarter, was to grab a rebound in the front court when Paul missed the shot, and the rest of the time took the initiative to make a wedding dress for other players on the court, at the end of the third quarter, the Celtics had stretched the difference to 18 points, leading 81-63.

Ye Hai shot 1 of 1 in the third quarter, scoring 2 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

After receiving a breakaway from Ye Hai just before the end of the third quarter, Paul hit an easy open buzzer-beating three-pointer. As a superstar point guard, Paul hasn't had this easy feeling for a long time!

This three-point shot reminded Paul of what Clippers coach Doug Rivers said to himself before he left the Clippers: "Chris, do you know why top guards like Jason (Kidd) and Steve (Nash) have never won championships? Because they are so controlling, although they control the team's rhythm of the game very well, they also curb the opportunities for other players to play. And it wasn't until Kidd began to play a supporting role appropriately and share the ball that he finally fulfilled his championship dream in Dallas! Maybe I'm not necessarily right, but I hope to give you some final advice while you're still here. ”

Thinking of this, Paul showed a knowing smile and greeted his teammates who came to high-five and celebrate with Ye Hai!

"It seems that Anji has made the right choice, Ye Hai is very suitable for this team, and the current Green Shirts also need Ye Hai to mature early and make more contributions to the team." O'Neill gave Ye Hai's evaluation pertinently.

Although they trailed the opponent by 18 points at the end of the third quarter, the Bulls at home will definitely not admit defeat easily, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Bulls sent a full offensive lineup, in addition to retaining Taki Gibson to occupy the center position for rebounding and defense, the big forward sent Mirotic, organized the guard to replace the average scoring ability Rondo, replaced by the offensive expert Michael Carter Williams, and the wing was still led by Jimmy Butler and Wade.

In response to the opponent's clear offensive lineup, Stevens adjusted Horford to the position of power forward, sent Tyler Zeller to fight with Gibson, replaced the defensive Rush, and replaced Gerald Green, who is taller and more physical, to match Wade, the small forward still leaves Ye Hai, and Paul is still in charge of the point guard.

Judging from the substitutions of the two teams in the fourth quarter, both sides put the victory and defeat of the game at the beginning of the last quarter, if the Bulls can successfully attack and quickly narrow the difference in the first half of the fourth quarter, then there is still suspense in this game, on the contrary, if the gap is not narrowed, then in the second half of the fourth quarter, there is almost no need to catch up and win!

The Bulls, who changed their tactics, made a desperate gamble and put all their energy into the offense, but this offensive style of play completely activated Ye Hai, who had suppressed a desire to attack, and with the help of Paul, Ye Hai completely released his offensive energy in the fourth quarter, breaking through, dunking, dry pulling, jump shots, three points, almost anything!

After showing half a quarter of the game in the second quarter, the first half of the fourth quarter once again became Ye Hai's solo performance. Butler, who was already a little confused in the game, even went to the basket without defense under the roar of Ye Hai, who was already out of position! After this layup, Hojberg replaced Butler directly and did not let him play again in the following games.

When the camera focused on Butler, the tough player stared at the floor with his eyes intently as if he couldn't believe what had just happened on the court.

With 4 minutes left in the game, the Celtics have led the Bulls by as many as 25 points, and if it weren't for Wade's ability to score points from time to time, I'm afraid the Bulls would have already dug themselves up in the fourth quarter! After a dead-ball timeout, the Celtics replaced all the starters, replaced Jack Crowder with Kelly Olynyk, Ben Bentil, RJ Hunter, Marcus Smart, and the Bulls also replaced all the substitutes, and there was no suspense about the outcome of the game.

At this time, Michael Jordan asked a Bulls team staff member sitting next to him, "What's the name of that No. 7 rookie in Boston?" ”

"Ye Hai, Michael." After the staff finished speaking, they specially reminded, "This kid is this year's top show." ”

After listening to the introduction of the staff, Jordan refocused his attention on Ye Hai, who was about to leave the game after the substitution, and thought: "This kid will definitely become a great figure in the NBA in the future." ”

The game ended after the last 4 minutes of garbage time, and the Celtics players gathered together to celebrate the team's first regular season victory of the new season, and at the same time avenged the elimination of the opponent in the playoffs last year at the beginning of the new season.

The score was 112-90, and the Celtics won by 22 points over the Bulls, who were evenly matched last season.

The best performer of the Celtics in this game was unexpected, not Chris Paul, who had just transferred, nor Al Horford, who had been with the Celtics for a season, but Ye Hai, a Chinese rookie who had just been selected by Anji this year!

Ye Hai shot 10 of 14 from the field, including 1 of 2 from 3-pointers and 7 from the free throw line, scoring 28 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals! This performance is completely NBA star-level performance.

Paul continued to play steadily, contributing 18 points and 11 assists, while Horford had 20 points and 12 rebounds.

For the Bulls, Wade scored a team-high 22 points, Rondo had 8 points and 9 assists, and Jimmy Butler scored 14 points, but he only hit 5 of 18 shots in the game, and he was at a comprehensive disadvantage in the matchup with rookie Ye Hai!

"This night belongs to Ye Hai, and I want to show respect for his debut." At the end of the game, O'Neill, who was sitting in the live broadcast room, said with a smile.

Barkley, who was sitting on the sidelines, shook his head and said: "It's unbelievable, he is so much better than Yao Ming's first game, I have to get to know this Chinese player again." ”

Van Gundy concluded: "Ye Hai is undoubtedly the MVP on the court today, and his alignment with Jimmy is impressive, and the Celtics have the last laugh. ”

Celtic's first game win was not only for the players and managers, but also for Angie and Bird, who were nervously watching the game on live television.

"It's a good move, Larry." Angie smiled comfortably and complimented Bird, who was sitting next to her. (To be continued.) )
