Chapter 134: The Lonely Left Hand
In the first quarter, Zhang Yu scored 11 points and 2 assists, announcing that the slump in the last game was just a nap.
The score of the two teams was 26:29, and the Knicks relied on Zhang Yu's excellent play to lead the opponent by three points.
Garnett was on fire today, almost knocking out two of the Knicks' interior players, scoring 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting, proving that he was not at his peak yet. Pierce scored 6 points, today he is more in the Wolves to attract interior defense, the Big Three know how to sacrifice each other for teammates, once who feels good, the other two will take the initiative to sacrifice their own shots to create more opportunities for each other.
Today, the wolf king is obviously in very good shape, and Pierce gave up his chance to make a move to the other party, which is also the real reason why the three won the championship in the first year, and the old guys can not care about their personal numbers for the championship.
In the second quarter, the Celtics re-replaced Ray Allen, surprisingly using Ray Allen as a sixth man.
Crawford vs Ray Allen
It's also a nice thing to watch, with Crawford having a stronger breakout and Ray Allen having a better projection.
Without Zhang Yu's dogskin plaster-like defense, Lei Allen has become the killer with a sword again. By the time Zhang Yu returned to the court, Ray Allen had hit two three-pointers, plus a mid-range to take the score to 10 points.
Crawford also scored five points on the offensive end, but he couldn't contain Ray Allen on the defensive end. Zhang Yu's reach and flexible footwork are something that no opposing player wants to encounter. Although he was limited by the Mavericks' bag in the last game, he also didn't give Josh Howard a chance on the defensive end.
The American media has turned a blind eye to his defence, but the players who have played against him know it well. Ray Allen has been in the alliance for so many years, and there are not many people who can make him such a wolf, even if he is old now, there are not many people who can restrain him.
When Zhang Yu came on the court, the game time had reached 7 minutes and 25 seconds in the second quarter, and he faced Lei Allen again after coming on the court.
Rivers didn't replace Ray Allen again, otherwise it would be too bad to give the killer Ray face. Although Tony Allen is better defensively than Ray Allen, he did not limit Zhang Yu. In this way, it is better to let Ray Allen play, his attacking ability is much stronger than Tony Allen, and his contribution on the offensive end is not comparable to the latter.
After ten games for the Knicks, D'Antoni has also begun to add more tactics to the team, no longer just blocking and fast offense. David Lee, as an all-around interior lineman, can attack and defend, and rebounds are also good, but D'Antoni is still not satisfied and still wants to develop more abilities for him, such as high post playmaking.
D'Antoni likes to use power forward and point guard the most, so he has a particularly high demand for players in these two positions, and he is also one of the NBA coaches who can develop these two positions.
Now that Zhang Yu is about to train him to be a point guard, how many NBA coaches are slandering D'Antoni that he will not use Zhang Yu and that he has not played his best offensive ability, and letting him distract the team will only delay his growth. Even the New York media believe that Zhang Yu is different from James, he should be a player like Jordan Kobe, with an average of 30+ points per game and four or five assists. Instead of averaging 20 points per game and having seven or eight assists.
David Lee, as a white insider, still has a certain ability to respond to high-position positions, although it is not as delicate as a European insider like his sister-in-law, but it is much stronger than black and hard.
Zhang Yu handed the ball to David Lee, who mentioned the free throw line, and then began to run according to the tactical line, and Anderson made a cover for him in the low post at the right time, blocking Ray Allen, who was following the defense.
Perkins made up for the defense under the basket, Zhang Yu ran directly to the other side of the three-point line, Perkins didn't dare to chase out, Pierce could only let go of his defender to make up for Zhang Yu.
David Lee passed the ball directly to Wallace, who was let go by Pierce, and although the defensive stalwart shot unsteadily, he still shot in his early 30s from the open three-point range.
Wallace took a look before throwing the basketball in his hand, and that's when Ray Allen's rotation pounced on him.
Both teams stared at Wallace's awkward three-pointer, and the basketball smashed into the neck of the basket and bounced twice before rolling into the net.
The score was 40:40, and the game was halfway through the second quarter, and the two teams were tied.
Zhang Yu's running in this tactic is completely to disrupt the opponent's defensive arrangement, if Pierce does not rotate to make up for the defense, then David Lee can also give him the ball, and the grasp will be greater, Zhang Yu's three-point shooting rate is more than 40%, which is very terrifying for a first-year rookie!
The game was a stalemate, with both teams able to score, but neither could limit the opponent's scoring, until the last minute, when someone finally broke the balance between the two sides, and that person was Rajon Rondo.
Rondo continues to improve this season, and after a year of training around the Big Three, this guy who was originally just a trade add-on has also begun to develop in the direction of the giant, which is not only surprising, but also more afraid of the Celtics' strength, and at the same time envious of the Celtics' shit luck.
In addition to Rondo's weird passes, his speed is also among the best in the league, and his signature fake pass breakthrough is even more unguardable.
In the last two minutes of the first half, Rondo faked the ball several times, deceived Crawford and then lightningly inserted into the Knicks restricted area, made a layup, and deceived David Lee with his signature "fake pass from behind" to make a two-plus-one, instantly turning the score of the two teams into 50:56.
In the last minute of the first half, the Celtics relied on Rondo's sudden outburst to open the score gap with the Knicks, and entered the second half with a six-point lead.
"Damn, isn't this bullying, three All-Star starters, plus a potential new star, how can this make others play?"
At halftime, Zhang Yu was unhappy in the locker room, and secretly despised the shameless huddle behavior of the three old guys.
D'Antoni has no good way to face the Celtics' 3.5 giant model, and the Knicks can't bear it just by turning on the superstar single mode. The only way to do this is to continue to use the speed to impact the opponent and see if the Celtics will have a physical crisis in the fourth quarter.
The Knicks were second-to-last last season, and this season's rush to the second place in the East has exceeded everyone's expectations, and the Knicks are not inferior on the offensive end of this game, and there is only one way to continue to fight in the second half!
Zhang Yu and D'Antoni thought about the same, he had 19 points and 3 assists in the first half of the game, and he still did not reduce his desire to score in the second half, two consecutive games of 40+ let him regain the thrill of scoring, in the previous game in order to connect the team, he has been forcibly suppressing his desire to score, in the final analysis, he is still a scoring guard, and what he hopes for most on the court is scoring rather than assists.
Ray Allen sat on the bench at the beginning of the second half, and the giant didn't care much about whether he started or not, so at the beginning of the second half, the Celtics sent Tony Allen to continue to defend Zhang Yu, and Rivers also had the intention of consuming Zhang Yu's body, this rookie body was no better than the three old guys. One of them is in the ascending period, and a group of bodies are in the descending period, and they are half a catty and eight taels on this.
Zhang Yu lowered his body and stared at Tony Allen like a cheetah, making the on the opposite side feel like he was being targeted by a beast.
Toni Allen faced Zhang Yu, and suddenly had the feeling of facing Kobe, Iverson and others in the past, and that strong desire to score seemed to be transformed into a trace of killing intent, eroding the nerves of the defensive players!
Zhang Yu dribbled twice, took a tentative step forward, and then closed his foot with a dry three-point shot, still with his left hand......
The basketball draws a beautiful parabola like a grenade and obediently falls into the basket!
"Three old guys, I'm going to score 50 points today, which of you can stop me?"
After Zhang Yu scored, he shouted a provocative speech to the opponent, which immediately attracted the angry eyes of all the players of the Celtics!
"Rookie, do you know what you're talking about?"
The captain of the Celtics, Pierce frowned not far away and said, this rookie is arrogant and boundless, look at this, do you treat them as fish belly?
"I said, it's not uncommon for me to give me the championship in a group!"
Garnett exploded, walked up with a glare, and pressed Pierce who wanted to speak again.
"Boy, you're so good, I don't even have the desire to talk trash, you're still the first in so many years, you just said you want to get 50 points on our heads?"
"Now that you've heard that, three old fellows, you can try to stop me from taking Boston!"
Boston's fans who watched the game from TV were already vomiting blood from Zhang Yu's words, can this Chinese kid be more crazy?
Zhang Yu's words completely pushed him into a corner, and now he must do what he says, otherwise he will become the laughing stock of everyone after the game!
His words were broadcast live to all corners of the world, and all the fans who watched the game were baffled by Zhang Yu's irrational words, this rookie is usually not so impulsive? What's going on today? Got the wrong medicine?
Of course Zhang Yu is usually not so impulsive, he knows what he is doing, Lao Tzu's left hand CD is finally full, and now he can brush the Lich King alone and ask Are you afraid?
How long has this TM been, his left hand has been like having sex with him since he went to a nightclub, there has been no movement at all for half a year, and now I don't know what crazy he is, and he finally broke out once, that is, in the face of a strong team like the Celtics, if he faces a weak team, like the Thunder, he even dares to say 60 points
It's a pity that he is not at home now, otherwise with the bonus of the fans, his form will undoubtedly be even better!
But it's still a bit early to say it, and it should be arrogant in your thirties
"Damn, I'm so arrogant now, a complete villain, if I can't finish 50+, I'm going to be slapped in the face by everyone to death!"
Tony Allen is now desperately defending Zhang Yu and showing the defensive intensity of the playoffs, and the opponent has directly provoked the whole of Boston, if he can't teach him a good lesson, the entire Celtics will lose face!
Zhang Yu's provocation completely escalated the game, and Boston must defend its dignity!
D'Antoni was a little painful: "Uncle Zhang, this is just a regular season, what are you playing?" ”
