Chapter 221 Cut him!cut him!
Just when Rondo passed the ball just now, Zhou Yang had already greeted Barbosa and asked him to chop O'Neal.
The tiger is strong.
If O'Neal is allowed to hit the inside continuously, let alone how many points he can score, Chandler may get into foul trouble.
So simply act first!
O'Neal was taken aback for a moment, thinking badly...
The Warriors actually used this trick so early, and O'Neal had a headache.
O'Neal grabbed the basketball, stood at the free throw line, took a deep breath, and used his signature shot put motion to push the ball over.
Boom!
1 penalty missed.
The fans burst into laughter.
O'Neill shook his head helplessly, and pushed the shot put for the second time.
Boom!
Once again bounced out of the frame, Zhou Yang protected the rebound and launched a fast break!
Barbosa and Curry fired two arrows at the same time, killing halfway from two directions, Zhou Yang looked at Barbosa, but passed the ball to Curry.
Because of Barbosa's fast break just now, the Celtics' defense centered on him.
When Rondo reacted and went to pounce on Curry, Curry was more than one meter away from the three-point line, and he had already shot!
That's it!
Swish!
Curry's second shot did not disappoint the fans, and he made a hollow hit!
"Splash connection! Three-point sword!"
All the fans stood up and shouted the name of Splash Brothers!
Celtics coach Rivers shook his head slightly.
He thought that the introduction of O'Neal this season would bring the team to a higher level.
But at the beginning of today, O'Neal became the team's burden instead.
The Warriors' running and bombing tactics look more aggressive than the Suns!
Last year, the Splash Brothers had no helpers, but this season they have the championship puzzle, which is even more powerful.
Rivers seemed to see the pain of being dominated by the Suns in the finals.
Celtics attack.
This time Rondo did not pass the ball to O'Neal, but to Garnett.
Garnett played the fourth position, facing Turkoglu, he should have an advantage.
Turkoglu is good at organization and shooting, and his defensive ability is really average.
But after the Warriors signed Turkoglu, they made improvements to the defensive system.
Facing the opponent's strong fourth position, Zhou Yang will immediately step forward to double-team.
Sure enough, as soon as Garnett received the ball, he found that there was another person beside him, Zhou Yang!
He wanted to turn around and shoot a jumper, but Zhou Yang pressed down on the ball before he could make it to the normal level.
Garnett hugged the ball tightly, wanting a scrimmage, but Zhou Yang's hands were too strong!
bass!
This is not stealing, this is robbery!
The basketball was taken away abruptly by Zhou Yang.
Garnett was speechless...
How did he know that Zhou Yang is the strength of Zion Williams!
Grabbing your ball is not an easy and pleasant thing.
After the robbery, Zhou Yang found that the opponent's defense line was very chaotic, so he was welcome.
Zhou Yang killed half of the game, and the old Celtics couldn't catch up at all. Pierce and Garnett were too slow.
Only Ray Allen was in hot pursuit.
His speed is okay, but his strength is too weak.
Ray Allen had just tied Zhou Yang when he was knocked out by Zhou Yang, almost hitting the middle of the auditorium.
Zhou Yang strode to the basket, another dunk!
9: 2!
The Warriors made a fantastic start!
The head coach of the Celtics, Rivers, couldn't sit still, and immediately called a timeout!
Originally holding back his energy to challenge the warriors, who would have thought that he would be hit in the head and knocked out as soon as he came up.
Before the game, Barkley also predicted that the game would be very stalemate and intense, because the Celtics want to prove themselves, and the Warriors have too many newcomers, and the running-in is definitely not good.
"What's the situation? How do the new and old Warriors players get along so well? It's great!"
Smith was also surprised.
"Zhou Yang seems to have evolved again. He has passed the World Championships and has a stronger grasp of the rhythm of the game!"
"Especially on the defensive end, he moved from the second position to the third position, and is more adaptable to the small ball era. The defense is too good!"
"The Warriors have been a bit scary this season!"
……
During the timeout, Rivers emphasized the speed of shots, because the Warriors players are very young and fast, so the Celtics are slow, and the shot selection is too poor.
In fact, the players of the Celtics can't help it. The team is old and slow. Now that O'Neal is here again, it can't be fast.
The time-out is over and the game continues.
Celtics attack.
According to Rivers' order, the Celtics strengthened the conduction, and the effect was good.
Three passes and two downs, passed the ball to Ray Allen in the bottom corner!
Ray Allen deserves to be the second-generation three-point shooter king, just steady, huh!
Three point hit!
This three-pointer is very thirst-quenching and relieved the Celtics' scoring drought.
However, looking back, Zhou Yang assisted Turkoglu, hit a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle, and responded with one!
This is the importance of Turkoglu, he has a height of 2 meters 08, three-pointers and accurate.
When Zhou Yang is double-teamed, he can handle the ball and continue to attack.
Last season, after Zhou Yang was double-teamed, he could only let Curry attack.
Curry is not tall enough, so the attack will be limited, and Maggette and Jackson have no ability to hold the ball.
In addition, both Turkoglu and Barbosa have three-pointers, which also made up for the weakness of the perimeter last season.
After more than 6 minutes in the first quarter, the score came to 15:8, and the Warriors led by 7 points.
Old Nelson called a timeout.
He is very satisfied with the running-in of the Warriors' main force, even exceeding his expectations.
Now it's time to switch to the bench.
If the Warriors want to make a breakthrough in the new season, the depth of the bench lineup is also very important.
Livingston and Tony Allen, one can attack and the other can defend.
But in the preseason, the performance of the two was mediocre, and Old Nelson was a little worried.
Zhou Yang and Turkoglu went off to rest, and Livingston and Tony Allen came on.
The Celtics also made substitution adjustments. Pierce and Garnett rested and replaced with big babies Davis and Jeff Green.
After Livingston suffered a serious injury, many people were not optimistic about him.
In fact, the Warriors' management was not optimistic about him, so Zhou Yang had no choice but to call Livingston by name.
The management was helpless. Livingston was not expensive anyway, so he signed it with a basic salary.
The time-out is over and the game continues.
As soon as Livingston passed halftime, he took the ball and came near the paint area. Facing Ray Allen's defense, he made a feint, and then turned over and shot a jumper!
This is a trick that Livingston practiced after a serious injury, and it is extremely difficult to defend.
Swish!
Hollow hit!
Livingston is 2 meters 01, tall and slender, this turnaround jump shot, the release point is very high, Ray Allen can only look at the ball and sigh.
Celtics attack.
Rondo passed the ball to O'Neal again, and O'Neal was about to make a layup when Livingston hugged his arm again.
O'Neill was about to cry, why did he come again?
Zhou Yang and the substitute laughed wildly below, who made you miss the free throw?
O'Neal is not bad this time, making one of two free throws and making progress.
