On the court, Yang and Anthony Davis had a very hot chat, I don't know if the two are talking about whether Yang didn't join the Pelicans in the summer, or if they are talking about Young's 40+ streak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In the commentary box, Mike Brin and Jeff Van Gundy watched the court with headsets, and the game was broadcast live by ESPN across the United States, and the two ESPN gold medal commentators also came to the scene.

At the beginning of the season, ESPN didn't expect this game to be so popular, but because of the relationship between Li Yang and Davis, and both of them are new stars in the league, they also included this game in the national live broadcast, and they didn't expect this game to attract attention because of Li Yang's consecutive 40+, which was also a surprise for them.

Mike Brin and Van Gundy were chatting about Li Yang and Davis on the court, because Li Yang only came to the New Orleans Pelicans on the day of the game, and the two didn't have time to get together, so they seized the pre-game warm-up stage to chat a few words.

"Young, I've seen your amazing performance lately, man, if you're going to come to New Orleans in the summer, it's going to be great for us to work together. ”

Even though it has been almost half a year since Li Yang's distance, when he saw Li Yang's recent performance, Davis couldn't help but say with some regret that Davis at that time was still very eager to work with Li Yang to create a new situation in the NBA.

"Dude, if I do join the Pelicans, maybe neither of us will be able to play like that, but at least for now, it's a good choice for you and for me. ”

Li Yang responded with a smile and said that joining the Celtics, because the lineup is constantly being adjusted, and the reason for injuries in the team, Li Yang has an absolute core position and shooting power in the team, which has greatly improved Li Yang's data this season and became one of the top scorers in the league in one fell swoop.

What's more, although the Celtics' record has declined slightly in recent times, the overall record is not bad, so Li Yang's leadership ability is also recognized by the outside world.

As for Davis, although his performance this season is not as amazing as Li Yang's, he is also very good, and he is expected to lead the Pelicans to the playoffs this season, and his performance is also praised by the outside world.

If Li Yang really joins the Pelicans in the summer, the performance of both sides may have a certain impact, after all, the right to shoot will be shared, so Li Yang has a certain reason to say this at this time.

Davis also understands this, and after all, this matter has been so long, so after mentioning it, Davis did not continue to dwell on this topic, and immediately turned the topic to Li Yang's score.

"Dude, you don't want to score 40 points here tonight, do you?" Davis raised his thick eyebrows, and his tone was very brisk, but his words were not so polite.

"We're not going to give you that opportunity, I don't think you're going to be able to break Michael and Kobe's record. ”

Although the two are very good in private, but today they are standing on opposite occasions after all, and Davis has already played a verbal confrontation at this time.

After hearing Davis's words, Li Yang was also unceremoniously, raised the corners of his mouth and said: "It depends on whether you have the ability to limit my scoring, buddy, your outside defense doesn't seem to be very good." ”

"You guys seem to be worse defensively on the inside. Anthony Davis smiled, "Man, I'm not going to show mercy." ”

"That's what I'm trying to say. "Li Yang is naturally not afraid of the threat of Anthony Davis.

The two looked at each other and smiled, shook hands and then hit their chests lightly and heavily, and then walked down the aisle with their respective benches, but it was time to prepare for the game after the warm-up.

After the appearance ceremony, the starters of both sides appeared on the court, and on the Celtics side, it was still the starting lineup composed of Sullinger, Jeff Green, Li Yang, Middleton, and Smart.

On the other side of the Pelicans are Omir Asik and Anthony Davis on the inside, small forward Terrick Evans, and two guards Eric Gordon and Jrue Holiday on the other side.

Judging from the strength of the book, the Pelicans undoubtedly still have an advantage, the Pelicans' lineup this season is actually not bad, but it is also affected by illness and has not played a talent, and this game is coincidentally their lineup is neat.

The current Celtics have such a lineup, the biggest disadvantage is naturally on the inside, the Pelicans attack Davis, defend Asik, if Whiteside is not injured, he can naturally better limit Anthony Davis, but unfortunately Whiteside is still trapped by injury and cannot play.

For the Celtics, the only advantage is naturally Li Yang, and such an advantage does not lie in Li Yang's advantage in the No. 3 position, but in Li Yang's leadership ability is stronger than the current Davis.

This season, Davis has played a very good performance, coupled with his outstanding talent, some people have begun to call Davis the next player to dominate the league power forward position, but unlike Li Yang, although Davis has played an excellent performance himself, his leading role in his teammates is not obvious.

Li Yang is a player who can really make his teammates better, and this kind of leadership temperament and ability is what Davis, at least the current Davis lacks.

After all, Li Yang has experienced much more training than Davis in the Spurs.

"Tick!"

As the whistle blew, Asik and Sallinger jumped to scrum, and the ball was pulled into Holiday by Asik first, and the game officially began.

"The game started, the Pelicans took the lead in attacking, and AD blocked and ......"

After Holiday controlled the ball to the half, Anthony Davis took the initiative to block and dismantle, he was not to facilitate Holiday to break through, but to take the initiative to disassemble the ball after blocking, but to create offensive opportunities for himself in this way.

The Pelicans laid out the main offensive interior tactics before the game, and at this time, Holiday directly handed the ball to Davis, who was separated, and at the same time, Green quickly rushed to Davis's defense.

Younger made a shooting feint, and Davis immediately dribbled directly to the basket, although he was a big man, but his ability to attack the basket with the ball in front was quite good.

Green was affected by Davis's shooting feint, and he lost the lead in the face of Davis's breakthrough, and by the time Davis began to dribble and break through, it was too late for him to stop it.

Davis took two steps forward and forced his way past Green, and Sullinger shrank back, but his pace was still a little slower.

Entering the three-point line, taking advantage of the Celtics' lack of defense, Davis jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket with a one-handed dunk, which caused thunderous cheers from the audience.

"This guy is really ruthless. Li Yang also muttered in his heart, knowing that now the Celtics are weak on the inside, Anthony Davis really attacked the inside line after he came on the court, and he was ruthless.
