Whiteside's injury has disrupted Celtic's plans, and with Bradley's injury still unhealed and Middleton still needs time to settle into the team, Whiteside's injury means Li Yang has to take on more pressure. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The only thing that reassures the Celtics is that Whiteside's injury is not too serious, and he can return after about two to three weeks of rest, which should be close to Bradley's return time.

Neither Whiteside nor Bradley are serious injuries, so this did not worry Celtics fans too much, and some Li Yang's die-hard fans are even looking forward to Li Yang's possible continued high-scoring performances in the future.

Sure enough, next against the Timberwolves and Heat, although the Celtics only won one game, Li Yang scored 43 points and 40 points in two games respectively, so that Li Yang's consecutive 40+ games have reached 6!

In the history of the NBA, there are not too many consecutive 40+ performances, the longest record is Chamberlain's 14 games, and the second-place record is still Chamberlain's with 11 consecutive games.

Jordan and Kobe Bryant jointly hold the record of third place, with 9 consecutive games, and now Li Yang's 40+ consecutive games have reached 6, and the recent situation of the Celtics forces Li Yang to have more shots in the game, which makes Li Yang's fans full of expectations for Li Yang's next game.

"CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, welcome everyone to watch the NBA2014-15 regular season game, the Celtics host the Rockets game......"

In China, this is a high-profile game, and Li Yang's recent 40+ scoring streak is naturally the reason for this, and on the other hand, the Celtics need to face the Rockets, who have a lot of popularity in China.

The Rockets have also performed quite well this season, although their record is only ranked fourth in the West for the time being, but the winning rate has exceeded 75%.

Compared to the Celtics, the Rockets have not been too affected by injuries in recent times, so in the game, they lined up a very neat lineup, with Dwight Howard partnering Donatas Motaiyunas on the inside, Trevor Ariza at small forward, James Harden at scoring guard, and Patrick Beverley at point guard.

On the Celtics side, because of Whiteside's injury and Middleton's arrival, the team's starting lineup has changed again, with Sullinger partnering Green on the inside, Li Yang on the small forward, and Middleton on the guard line with Smart.

While the starting line-ups of both teams were being played on the big screen, Stevens was making the final tactical set-ups on the sidelines.

We can give Dwight Howard a chance to play on the inside, but we can't let the opposing perimeter find the feel to shoot......

"Offensively, Young, they're going to pay more attention to the protection of the inside, you don't go too hard to attack the basket in the offense, you let Marcus have more ball, you look for offensive opportunities on the outside......"

Stevens said, Li Yang nodded, Stevens's arrangement is very targeted, that is, to let Li Yang, who has been in excellent offensive form recently, play more of the role of scorer.

After Stevens completed the arrangement, the starters of the two teams came to the field, waiting for the official start of the game, and at this time, the number of people in the major domestic live broadcast rooms was also rising.

"Tick!"

With a whistle, Howard's easy ball went to the Rockets, and on the Celtics' side, Sullinger didn't even jump much.

The Celtics did not have Whiteside, and Howard became the biggest advantage of the Rockets in this game, and Rockets head coach McHale also knew this very well, and he directly arranged the tactics of attacking Howard after the start.

Howard helped the Rockets get the ball with a jump ball just now here, and then he quickly came to the other end and stuck Sullinger outside the three-second zone and began to ask for the ball.

Beverley's ball was delivered to Howard in time, and although Howard was not as aggressive as he was at his peak in the past two years, it was still not something that Sullinger could fully withstand, not to mention that Howard was in a scrappy moment after the opening.

Sullinger was pushed back by Howard, and the Celtics did not step forward at this time, but Howard pushed Sullinger away and scored two points with a small hook in the three-second zone.

Sullinger served the ball from the bottom line, Li Yang still remembered Stevens' arrangement at this time, and did not take the initiative to ask for the ball, and after coming to the half, he began to run actively.

Li Yang is closely followed by Ariza, as a first-class defensive player in the league, Ariza's ability and experience on the defensive end are very sufficient, although Li Yang did not take the initiative to hold the ball after the opening attack, but Ariza did not relax his guard in the slightest.

It's just that Li Yang uses the cover of his teammates, coupled with his excellent ability to run without the ball, even Ariza can only follow, and he can't completely stop Li Yang or cut off the Celtics' cutting route.

After running back from the baseline and using cover, Li Yang got the ball outside the three-point line, and Ariza followed up to defend almost immediately.

What Ariza didn't expect was that when he rushed to Li Yang, Li Yang actually pulled up the shot directly, and shot extremely decisively, without the slightest drag.

Although Ariza has been on guard, he never thought that Li Yang would use such a completely unreasonable way to attack at the beginning of the game, and he only had time to raise his hand to try to bring some interference to Li Yang's shot.

Li Yang also knew that in the current game, he needed to take on more scoring tasks, and this shot was a little reluctant, he just wanted to try how he felt, and after throwing the ball, the corners of Li Yang's mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

The good feeling of the basketball after it leaves his fingers tells him...... This ball is here!

"Huh!" Sure enough, the next moment, the basketball went straight into the net after crossing an arc and hit!

"It feels good tonight!" While retreating towards the backcourt, Li Yang muttered with satisfaction in his heart, recently, his offensive state is very good, and this game should be able to continue this state.

At the same time, the fans in China also exploded at the moment just because of Li Yang's shot.

"Li Yang looks very good today, is this the rhythm of running 40+ today?"

"The shot is decisive and the feel is soft, haha, just looking at this ball, I know that Li Yang is going to get a high score today. ”
