Whiteside, who also came out of the Development League, was still training hard for 2K ability points, hoping to get a chance to play, and at this time, Li Yang had already begun to reap the honors. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On November 4, local time in the United States, the NBA officially announced the best players in the East and West in the first week of the 2014-15 season, and Li Yang and the Warriors' Klay Thompson were successfully elected.

In the first week of the new season, Thompson averaged 29.7 points per game, shooting 45.5 percent from three-point range and 91.3 percent from the free-throw line. He scored a career-high 41 points on 14-of-18 shooting from the field against the Los Angeles Lakers, and against the Portland Trail Blazers, he hit the winning shot with 8.9 seconds left in the game.

If there is no Li Yang, Thompson will become the best player in the league this week, but in front of Li Yang's data, Thompson is slightly inferior, in the first week of the game, Li Yang averaged 33.3 points, 10.3 assists and 9.6 rebounds per game, ranking first in the league in points per game, second in the league in assists per game, and led the Celtics to three consecutive wins!

Such a record and such data also made Li Yang's election without any suspense, and this was also the first time in Li Yang's career that he won the honor of Player of the Week.

The day after Li Yang won the Player of the Week, the Celtics also welcomed their fourth opponent of the new season, hosting the Memphis Grizzlies.

Li Yang is no stranger to the Grizzlies, he had a lot of games with the Grizzlies when he was with the Spurs, and he is extremely clear about the strength of this team, especially the defense and resilience of the Grizzlies.

Although Li Yang almost crushed the Grizzlies during his time with the Spurs, including a sweep in the Western Conference Finals, it was the Spurs, and the Spurs were undoubtedly strong in the first two seasons, which the current Celtics cannot compare.

TD North Shore Garden Arena, the Celtics sat at home to welcome the challenge of the Grizzlies, which is not much different from the Grizzlies that Li Yang was familiar with before, with black and white bears Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph on the inside, Tony Allen at small forward, Cornett Lee at point guard, and Mike Conley at point guard.

The Celtics continued their lineup for the first three games, and although this lineup is just a tentative starting lineup for Stevens in the new season, Stevens will not change it at will because of the victory in the first three games.

The Grizzlies are strong on the inside, and their outside offense is a shortcoming, and Stevens made clear the tactical strategy in the game in the pre-game setup, which is to shrink the interior and empty the outside.

Compared with the Grizzlies' black and white bears, although the Celtics have hoarded several interior players, they are not outstanding in either offense or defense, especially in terms of defense, and they are very disadvantaged against Gasol Jr. and Randolph on the Grizzlies' side, so Stevens' choice to shrink the defensive strategy is not only due to the Grizzlies, but also for a large part of his own reasons.

After the start of the game, the Celtics' defensive strategy was more effective, and the Grizzlies recognized that the Celtics were weak inside, so the tactics arranged after the start of the game were to focus on the interior, which happened to correspond to the Celtics' defensive strategy.

After the start of the game, the Celtics' targeted defense repeatedly hindered the Grizzlies' offense, and the Celtics, under the leadership of Li Yang, took the opportunity to play a defensive counterattack and played a wave of 8:0 offensive.

After seeing that the situation on the court was not good, the Grizzlies immediately made adjustments, Conley and Cornett Lee increased their offense, while the black and white Bears staggered, one inside and one outside, using their shooting ability to contain the Celtics' defense.

This change of the Grizzlies made the Celtics' defense no longer as effective as it was at the beginning of the game, and as the Grizzlies' shooting percentage increased, the Celtics' chances to counterattack also decreased, and at this time, the Celtics' side really felt the defensive ability of the top teams in the Grizzlies league.

Li Yang is naturally the focus of the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies not only arranged for the league's top outside defenders like Tony Allen to play against Li Yang, but also did not hesitate to take a pinch attack when Li Yang had an offensive opportunity.

Similar to the previous game against the Raptors, the ball passed by Li Yang is still difficult to convert into assists, not because the Celtics players are not good offensively, but because the Grizzlies' defense is indeed very good.

The Grizzlies' overall defensive level combined with excellent defensive rotation put a lot of defensive pressure on the Celtics, and the Celtics, including Li Yang, fell into such a defensive quagmire, not just in the second half of the first quarter, but throughout the game.

At 92:85, the game ended, and the Celtics lost by 7 points, 85 is also the lowest score of the Celtics this season, and in the previous three games, the Celtics scored more than 100.

21 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, although Li Yang still scored a double-double in this game, but obviously, such a performance cannot be compared with his previous three games, scoring more than 20, at the same time, only 4 assists, and 3 turnovers under the defensive pressure of the Grizzlies.

Having suffered their first loss of the new season, the Celtics didn't have time to adjust, and they had another game to play back-to-back games against the Phoenix Suns.

In this game, the Celtics ended in defeat again, this time it was still the interior line, the Morris brothers of the Suns and Alex Len, the center who was selected by the Suns with the fifth pick last season, combined to score 60 points, completely blowing up the Celtics' interior.

In this game, the Celtics and the Suns fought to the end and had a chance to win the game, but Li Yang received his sixth foul when he made up the defense inside, and left the court with six fouls nearly two minutes before the end, which directly led to the complete collapse of the Celtics at the last moment.

After three consecutive wins, two consecutive defeats, although Li Yang scored 28 points in this game and handed out 8 assists, the outside world still began to have a lot of doubts.

After all, Li Yang was too eye-catching in the first few games, especially when he won the Player of the Week award in the first week of the new season.

If these doubts were in the Spurs period, Li Yang would not care too much, but in the Celtics, Li Yang is very caring, because he doesn't want such doubts to spread and affect the atmosphere of the entire arena, because the current Celtics are his team, and he must respond to these doubts with a victory.

Li Yang's eyes are on his team's next opponent, Jason Kidd's Milwaukee Bucks, a young team full of talent.

Kidd became the head coach of the Bucks this season after a modest season with the Nets last season, and the Bucks are hoping that Kidd can bring the young team to a good tune with a bunch of talented players, Brandon Knight, Larry Sanders, Ioannis Antetokounmpo and this year's top pick Jabari Parker.

For this talented team, many people in the outside world predict that they will likely become a dark horse in the East and reach the playoffs in the new season.

However, Li Yang and his Celtics don't care if they are dark horses at this time, they desperately want to win a victory, and the Bucks become their target for hunting.
