Chapter 66: Ascending Strength
Garnett jammed Jackson and reached for the ball, which Rondo immediately passed.
Bang!
Garnett crashed into Jackson and planned to roll over and shoot a jumper in return for Zhou Yang.
Who knows, at the moment when he collected the ball, Zhou Yang once again ghostly killed and stabbed the ball away.
However, Rondo reacted very quickly, he saw Zhou Yang's sudden start, so after the ball was poked off, Rondo stretched out his long arm and snatched the ball back.
Time was running out for the attack, and Rondo had to make a hasty move, boom!
Bounce the basket out!
Zhou Yang was really anxious, jumped up again, and protected the rebound.
This rebound was horrible, and it was taken off Garnett's head.
It turned out that Zhou Yang heard Garnett's shouting just now, and he knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to crush the morale of the Celtics, he had to suppress Garnett's momentum.
The old wolf king is too incendiary, and he is very experienced in boosting morale.
Zhou Yang's sudden break, coupled with this rebound, really made Garnett depressed.
Sou!
Zhou Yang grabbed the rebound, did not pause for a moment, and immediately passed to Curry near the halfway.
Curry didn't do much in the first quarter because he couldn't play with speed.
Now's your chance.
After Curry received the ball, he quickly crossed the halfcourt, and Rondo was too late to chase because of the shot just now.
Ray Allen was ambushed in the bottom corner just now, and he couldn't catch up with Curry.
Curry passed half the court and suddenly made a sharp stop outside the three-point line and made a three-point shot!
It's really suffocating!
This three-point shot is like a flying sword, straight into the basket!
Swish!
Three points again!
Zhou Yang and Curry once again had a tacit cooperation on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
The atmosphere of the home fans was ignited again, and Oracle was jubilant, and the fans jumped and jumped.
The Warriors players were also in high spirits, and they all rushed over and high-fived Curry and hit their chests.
Seeing the morale of the Warriors high, Rivers had to call a short timeout to break the momentum of the Warriors.
Zhou Yang yelled excitedly, high-fived his teammates one by one, and loudly encouraged his teammates.
Although this wave is led by Zhou Yang, basketball is a team sport, and he must take care of the emotions of his teammates.
Every cover from a teammate, every run, will help tactically.
Old Nelson was very happy, as the head coach, he couldn't be too excited, but he still took the initiative to come over and slapped Zhou Yang.
On the Celtic side, Garnett wilted a little, he sat in a chair, covered his head with a towel, and didn't say a word.
Pierce sat next to him, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him in a low voice: "It's okay, the score difference is not big, I'll call back in a while!" β
Garnett snorted, but didn't yell as much as he had before, clearly taking a hit.
However, the wolf king was not so easy to break down, and at the end of the timeout, Garnett jerked to his feet and tossed the towel aside.
"Brothers, this is no ordinary regular season, we're going to make it a playoff game, no! Let's play it as a grand final! β
Maybe Garnett has vaguely felt that Zhou Yang will lead the team to the finals sooner or later.
Seeing that Garnett was full of fighting spirit again, his teammates were also excited.
Everyone stretched out their hands together and shouted in unisonβ
"Celtic will win!"
"Defeat the Warriors!"
β¦β¦
The timeout ends and the game continues.
The Celtics' defensive intensity has really increased, and small moves have increased.
In '09, there weren't that many body hair whistles, and the league would tacitly allow defensive moves to increase in some important games.
In fact, this is a good thing for competitive sports, as long as it is not a double standard, players and fans can accept it.
Zhou Yang's two attacks were both defended by Pierce.
Although the fans on the sidelines were angry and yelled at the referee, Zhou Yang looked indifferent.
Although he traveled from his previous life and was a little uncomfortable, he thought that this was 09 years, and he felt normal.
Zhou Yang's offense was unfavorable, but on the Celtics' side, Garnett was ruthless and hit consecutive shots!
The Celtics played a wave and not only caught up with the score, but also overtook by 2 points.
At 21:19, there are more than 3 minutes left in the first quarter!
The sunspots in the forum have been moving again, and they have been shrinking their heads and waiting.
Zhou Yang had just hit the iron a few times, and they started spraying.
"See no, Zhou Yang is a soft egg, as soon as the Celtics get on the strength, they won't be able to do it, haha!"
"What about Zhou Yang's fans? Where did they all die? Come out and keep blowing! β
"I hate this kind of rice circle behavior the most, isn't it just a baller, and it's blowing!"
"The Warriors will bully the team with little experience, and in front of the old and spicy Celtics, it will be finished!"
β¦β¦
Nelson Sr. also called a timeout, and he could see that the players were not comfortable with the Celtics' rough defense.
Before he could speak, Zhou Yang excitedly encouraged his teammates.
"Brothers, it doesn't matter, since they have big moves, let's also get bigger, as long as the referee doesn't have double standards, he won't be afraid!"
Seeing that Zhou Yang was very calm, his teammates suddenly felt much more down-to-earth.
Curry said: "What's the matter with the referee, like blind, Rondo hugged me, the referee is next to me, it doesn't matter!" β
Zhou Yang knew that Curry was a good baby and was not familiar with the scale of the penalty.
"Stephen, next time you hold him, see how the referee blows, if we don't treat everyone equally, we won't be afraid."
Curry nodded vigorously, and he figured out what to do.
Old Nelson felt very relieved, it was indeed very worry-free to have a mature player like Zhou Yang under his hands.
After the timeout, the Warriors players were in high spirits as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
When defending, a lot of small actions were added.
Sure enough, the referee acquiesced and did not blow the penalty.
With the Warriors fighting back, the Celtics' shooting percentage also began to decline.
The smell of gunpowder on the field became stronger, and the trash talk of the players on both sides began to increase.
Pierce is a veteran ruffian, and he is the best at playing with the opponent's mentality.
When he was defending Zhou Yang, his mouth kept stopping, and the spitting stars were about to spray on Zhou Yang's face.
"Hey, rookie, you can't, the opponents in the playoffs will teach you how to behave!"
"You can't score this goal, I have to get you!"
β¦β¦
Zhou Yang was a little irritable, and in a pull from Pierce, Zhou Yang overreacted and pushed Pierce to the ground.
Actually, he didn't exert his strength, but Pierce was too cunning and fell down, and the traces of his performance were obvious.
The referee hesitated, but still blew Zhou Yang for a foul.
Zhou Yang's heart was on fire, and just as he was about to reason with the referee, Curry and Jackson hurriedly stopped Zhou Yang.
"Don't get excited, don't be impulsive, or you'll be fooled!"
Zhou Yang quickly calmed down, he nodded at Pierce, and shouted, "Okay, then you wait and see, see which of us can handle whom?" β
The game is even better, both sides are starting to compete, their mouths are constantly spraying, and the action is getting bigger and bigger.
After Zhou Yang got used to it, he started to go crazy!
