Chapter 468: 40+ in a row
"Congratulations to the Celtics for winning the game, Young gave the best performance of the game, and Yang improved so much from last season that he almost completely crushed the Bulls in the second and fourth quarters of the game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
At the end of the game, the players of both teams had entered the players' tunnel and walked to the locker room, but whether it was Mike Brin and Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines, or the Celtics fans in front of the screen, they were still talking about the game that had just ended.
"Young's performance is fantastic! Sure enough, an MVP-caliber player!"
"43 points, Young's score is up to 40 again, and he is facing the Bulls, who are the number one defense in the league!"
"With the right move to sign Young in the summer, the Greenshirts are truly on the right path to rebuild. ”......
As a nationally streamed game, the number of people watching the game was far more than the Celtics' previous regular season games, and Li Yang's outstanding performance in this game also made these people addicted, and also made the Celtics fans who watched the game very excited.
Of course, there are joys and sorrows, and after seeing Li Yang's performance, Bulls fans really couldn't be happy.
"If we can successfully sign Yang ...... this summer"
Almost every Bulls fan who watched the game will think in their hearts that although Rose has returned to play this season, although Butler has made significant progress this season, and although the Bulls' record this season is not bad, they still feel extremely sorry to see Li Yang's performance.
Thinking about having a lineup of Rose, Butler, Li Yang, Gasol, and Noah is enough to excite them, and of course, they can only think about it at this time.
In fact, after seeing Li Yang's performance, many fans who were watching the game regretted that they couldn't get Li Yang this summer, especially Li Yang's signing price can actually be afforded by any team.
However, although their favorite team can't get Li Yang, it doesn't prevent many fans from liking Li Yang more through a game, especially Li Yang not only got a high score in this game, but also had several very beautiful attacks in the field, which left an unusually deep and impressive impression on these fans.
In the NBA top five balls that night, Li Yang occupied two seats, and his counterattack dunk after taking off his hat Rose, as well as a one-on-four layup, occupied the first two spots of the top five balls.
When the 2015 All-Star Weekend voting officially began, Li Yang's big show result was predictable, that is, his All-Star vote was bound to soar this season.
There are also people who have grievances about Li Yang's performance, such as Whiteside.
"Young, I got a double-double in my first NBA start, and there was so little news coverage. The day after the game, Whiteside looked at Li Yang with a very resentful gaze.
Whiteside played as a starter for the first time in this game, and handed over 16 points, 15 rebounds and 6 blocks, which can be said to be very good, but with Li Yang's outstanding performance in this game, Whiteside's limelight was naturally completely stolen.
So much so that except for the local media in Boston and die-hard Celtics fans, almost no one noticed that Whiteside contributed a double-double in his first appearance as a starter, and he still got such data in front of Noah and Gasol, two former All-Star forwards, which can understand why Whiteside looked at Li Yang with such a resentful expression after the game.
There is really no exposure, and Whiteside is worried that his 2K ability value will not be raised.
Of course, being able to mention the starter has already made Whiteside very happy, and he also believes that the next performance will give him the opportunity to improve his 2K ability value, no, in an interview with the media in Boston, Whiteside has already begun to shout 2K game companies, saying that his ability value should be increased.
There are still happy people about the sudden rise of Whiteside, that is, Celtic fans, Li Yang has conquered Celtic fans through more than a month of performance, making all Green Army fans believe that rebuilding with Li Yang as the center can make the team rise again.
However, Celtics fans also see the team's lack of talent, except for Li Yang, the rest of the players, especially the talent of the interior players, seems to be very average this season, Sallinger stands still and even shows signs of retreating, Green can still score, and occasionally can score high points, but the style of play is not suitable for being an interior core.
Now, Whiteside has emerged, with excellent physical gifts and athleticism, outstanding rebounding, defense, and blocking ability, such a player looks undoubtedly a perfect match next to Li Yang, although his offensive ability looks extremely rough.
And the victory over the Bulls also made them more and more convinced of this, the combination of Li Yang and Whiteside will give the Celtics endless hope, and the team's record will steadily improve, so much so that many fans are worried about Bradley's injury.
The ensuing game against the Wizards finally reminded many Celtics fans that they lacked an excellent outside defender.
In the game against the Bulls, Bradley's absence was not without impact, but it was all hidden under Li Yang's happy performance and the team's win.
But in the face of the Wizards, who are now the No. 1 in the East, with two excellent backcourt players Wall and Beal, the impact of Bradley's injury was immediately highlighted.
Bradley, as the only player in the Celtics team other than Li Yang who can score both defense and three-point shooting, plays the role of defending the opponent's main guard on the defensive end of the game, and plays the task of opening up space on the offensive end.
In the last month, the Celtics had beaten the Wizards, but this time against the Wizards, the Celtics fell completely behind.
In this game, the Wizards borrowed the defensive strategy of the Bulls in the previous game on the defensive end, completely shrinking the defensive line, except for Li Yang, the rest of the players did not exert too much pressure to shoot three points, but the Celtics players just couldn't shoot.
Stevens also played Thorton in the game to open up the offensive space, but Thorton's defense was too poor, whether it was defending Beal, Wall or Pierce, he was completely blown up, and even if he could get a chance to shoot one or two three-pointers on the court, he conceded more points.
In the end, the Celtics lost to the Wizards and lost the game 91-101.
The team lost, but Li Yang was still praised by everyone after this game, in this game when the rest of the team was almost collectively dumb, Li Yang only sent 3 assists, but he scored 41 points in this game, scored 40 again, and scored 40+ points in two consecutive games for the first time in his career!
