The Rockets continued to attack the inside, which was not expected by the Celtics, who also continued to choose not to attack. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sullinger made a defensive contribution this time, he tried hard to withstand Howard's lower handicap, and did not let Howard get too close to the basket, although Howard made another small hook like the previous shot, but the ball could not be hit.

The ball popped up behind the basket, Li Yang rushed to the basket in time to win the rebound, and then ran quickly with the ball to the other half court.

Although there are defensive players such as Howard, Ariza, and Beverley on the team, in fact, the Rockets' defense is not too good, at least there is a big gap with the league's first-class defensive teams, especially in terms of retreat, the Rockets are doing a very average job.

Before the game, Stevens had already made arrangements for this, and Li Yang immediately rushed forward with the ball after grabbing the rebound and launched a counterattack.

The Rockets' retreat was really not too good, although Ariza with excellent defensive ability and experience retreated to the backcourt early, but the rest of the players were not able to bring enough support to Ariza, and in the face of Li Yang, who rushed up all over the court, it was obviously extremely difficult for Ariza to defend alone.

Running with the ball, Li Yang encountered Ariza's defense when he rushed to the three-point line, Li Yang hit a three-pointer directly after the opening, and Ariza had to expand the defensive area outside the three-point line.

It's just this ball, but Li Yang didn't mean to shoot outside the three-point line, and rushed to Ali's with a swift change of direction, Li Yang directly tore through Ariza's defense, rushed past the opponent's side and ran to the basket.

The Rockets' two big men were still behind at the moment, and Beverley, another defensive player in the Rockets' lineup, rushed over at this moment to try to stop Li Yang.

But the next scene proved that Beverly's choice was not wise.

"Whoosh!"

Breaking through Ariza's defense, Li Yang entered the three-second zone, and at this time Beverley also rushed over, seeing that Beverley was about to stop directly in front of Li Yang, at this time, relying on strong explosive power to break Li Yang actually accelerated again!

Li Yang's acceleration completely exceeded Beverley's expectations, and it also made his plan completely fail!

"Porphyry!"

Li Yang and half of Beverly's body came into contact, and a huge impact suddenly burst out from Li Yang's body and acted on Beverly's body, knocking Beverly upside down and flying out!

Li Yang was completely unaffected at the moment, and continued to take a big step forward and jump, and then twisted his body in the air and made a backhand layup, completely avoiding Ariza's block.

"Tick!"

The referee's whistle sounded in time at this moment, and at the same time as the whistle sounded, the referee made a penalty gesture to block the foul.

"2+1! Li Yang knocked Beverley into the air and made a layup to complete 2+1!"

At the same time as the referee made a gesture, Yu Jia, who was commenting in China, also shouted, "I just shot a three-point shot in the previous round, and now, Li Yang has a chance to play three points in the counterattack!"

got the opportunity to play three points, Li Yang did not waste it, his free throw fell into the basket steadily, and he scored 6 points in a row.

After scoring 6 points in a row after the opening, this not only showed Li Yang's offensive desire, but also showed Li Yang's excellent offensive state.

It's just that Li Yang remembered Stevens' pre-game arrangement, didn't hold the ball too much in the court, and constantly used his excellent off-ball running to find a vacancy, so that the Rockets didn't have a chance even if they wanted to pinch it. Take advantage of running without the ball to get opportunities, once there is a chance, Li Yang will not hesitate to shoot, if there is no opportunity, after attracting the defense, he will immediately pass the ball to his teammates.

Driven by Li Yang, on the Celtics' side, although Middleton doesn't seem to be adapting, the offensive state is very average, Smart's offensive feeling on the outside today is not very good, but because Li Yang and Jeff Green can shoot outside the three-point line, coupled with Li Yang's containment, they are also playing well on offense.

On the defensive end, the Celtics have an obvious disadvantage on the inside, they choose to put Howard more singles, but the inside is pinched, this effect is very good, without teammates to feed the ball, Howard's singles efficiency is not high, after the first quarter of the game, the two teams played 23:27, and the Celtics, who lacked a major general, were 4 points ahead of the Rockets.

Of course, what makes Celtics fans even happier is that Li Yang showed very good form in the first quarter of the game, scoring 14 points in a single quarter and dishing out 4 assists.

After seeing Li Yang's offensive state, fans are undoubtedly full of confidence that Li Yang will score 40+ again in this game.

After the start of the second quarter, Li Yang did not live up to the expectations of the fans, he scored a double-double again in a single quarter, scoring 10 points to improve his score to 24.

However, in this quarter of the game, the Rockets had some adjustments on the offensive and defensive ends, and the Celtics did not take the initiative in this quarter, and after the first half, the two teams were tied at 50:52, and the Celtics' lead was only 2 points.

At half-time, it was clear that both teams had adjusted their defence accordingly, and the second half was played out in a way that entertained the fans who were watching the game.

In the third quarter of the game, the Rockets focused on the protection of rebounds, paid more attention to defensive counterattacks, and looked for more opportunities to attack from the outside.

On the Celtics side, Olynyk and Thorton were sent early to open up space, using air cuts and passing balls to constantly get offensive opportunities.

At this time, Li Yang naturally and undoubtedly played the role of a sharp knife, his excellent off-ball ability and ability to impact the basket were like a fish in water in such a tactic, and in the half quarter of the game, Li Yang scored another 6 points and increased the score to 30.

At this time, the battle between the two teams was not over, and it was the Rockets who launched an attack on the court at this moment, and Harden and Howard played a wide range of transfer balls after blocking and dismantling, and sent the ball directly to Ariza's hands.

Ariza wanted to shoot directly after receiving the ball, but Li Yang's return speed was faster than Ariza imagined, although Li Yang just chose to shrink to help defend, but after Ariza got the ball, Li Yang still rushed to Ariza's front for the first time.

In the face of Li Yang's defense, Ariza didn't dare to make a move and transferred the ball to Beverley's hands, but Beverley had a lot less scruples and threw the ball directly after receiving it.

Beverley is confident, but the Celtics are still focused on perimeter defense, and his shot is bounced off by Smart.

The inside advantage of the rocket was highlighted at this time, Howard used his physical advantage to squeeze Olynyk away and pull the ball into the basket, O'Ninik was not annoyed, after the ball fell from the basket, Olynyk under the basket quickly took the ball and sent it out, but at this time Li Yang and others had already begun to attack!
