At the beginning of the second quarter, I looked at Holmes, Grant, Stauskas and Tony Roten beside me.

Then I looked at Amir Johnson, Sullinger, Evan Turner, RJ Hunter, and Rozier on the opposite side.

Yang wanted to say something, but he said nothing and walked back to the field silently...

"Young, who grabbed the defensive rebound, came to the frontcourt."

"Stauskas comes to cover for Jan"

"Young's breakthrough attracted the Celtics' attention, and he promptly distributed the ball to Grant in the opposite corner."

"Shua"

"Grant lived up to his expectations and allowed Young to reach his 6th assist in this game."

"Smart paid the price for his recklessness, and the Celtics couldn't maintain the intensity for 48 minutes at the 2 to protect their point guard.

However, Stevens also found a way to break through the 76ers' perimeter defense without Covington:

Keep running empty-handed

"Bang"

"During the cross-screen, Holmes and Grant made mistakes. How could they simultaneously chase Salinger, who didn't have much shooting range, and miss Amir Johnson from the basket?"

"The 76ers' defense made another mistake. How could they put all their attention on Evan Turner holding the ball and miss Rozier who was standing in the cut position."

The trend of "timeout" has changed, and the 76ers also requested a timeout not long after the second quarter started.

…………

…………

"It's okay, we can fight back." Although he wanted to use curse words to solve the problem, after thinking about his teammates' abilities, Yang gave up this idea and instead used comfort to ease their emotions.

"Coach, let's change the matchups. Let Grant go against Evan Turner and I'll go against Salinger." Since he couldn't solve the problem, he had to do it himself.

"Okay" Since he wants to take the role, Coach Brown doesn't have any reason to object.

"As the score was pulled back to 30:39 by the Celtics, Young once again took over the ball from the point guard." After playing for Tony Roten for two rounds and was cracked, Young stopped giving it.

He had a chance to play.

Looking at Evan Turner in front of him, Young, who was dribbling the ball, began to recall the report given by the defensive assistant.

Why is he a defensive assistant? The answer is very simple. The first assistant is an offensive maniac, and defense has never appeared in his learning dictionary.

Evan Turner, the second overall pick in 2010, is a good organizer and facilitator, but on the defensive end he is just an average defender.

Since he is not strong, Yang doesn't want to waste time. He dribbles the ball with his left hand and then pulls the ball very quickly to change direction.

He directly passed the first line of defense guarded by Evan Turner and rushed towards the basket.

At this time, Amir Johnson was guarding the basket of the Green Army. Even though he is very suitable for the position of substitute center, he has an innate thorny problem:

Not tall enough

The problem of insufficient height means that he is not good at blocking forward, nor can he stand under the basket and wait for an impact.

Rushing, due to the height of 211cm on the opposite side, Amir Johnson immediately decided to rush out.

Looking at the defender rushing out, Young connected with a very fast European step.

Seeing that he had been beaten, Amir Johnson showed his true colors as a veteran:

A brutal foul.

"Beep!" At the moment when the referee blew the whistle, Yang raised the basketball with his left hand and flicked it in the direction of the basket.

"Dang, Dang" after hitting the basket twice, the ball reluctantly fell into the frame.

"I'm sorry, I took a big step to protect you."

"fine"

"Substitution" Since McConnell was needed, Young quickly signaled Coach Brown to make a substitution.

Coach Brown was not angry when he overran Coach Brown, and quickly replaced McConnell as requested.

Boston fans are lucky, because after replacing McConnell, the second wonderful performance of this season appeared...

…………

…………

"Evan Turner broke through Grant's defense and found the basket empty; Amir Johnson received the pass and wanted to dunk.

"Pa"

"A beautiful block. Young, who rushed back to the basket with all his strength, knocked down the dunk before the reasonable collision area. Philadelphia's opportunity to counterattack."

"McConnell found Young who was already running 45 degrees downfield."

"He didn't want a two-point dunk, but a one-step three-pointer from beyond the three-point line?"

"Incredible shot choice, is he too crazy... to actually score."

"When the score difference reaches 15 points, should Coach Stevens request a timeout to stabilize the situation?"

"As expected, Stevens decisively stopped."

The 90-second pause is fleeting and the game continues.

"Stevens brought back Bradley, Thomas Jr., Crowder, and Olynyk. It seems that he was not satisfied with the performance of the previous substitutes."

"After taking the main force, the Celtics' offense instantly returned to normal. Olynyk used the pick-and-roll to solve the Celtics' urgent need."

"Incredible full-court long pass, the Celtics actually had the problem of not retreating in time." The Celtics' offense had just ended, and Grant of the 76ers on the other side had already received the pass and completed a dunk.

"Shua"

The Celtics were lucky. Thomas, who had never found his touch, finally got a sure layup opportunity under the interference of Holmes.

Anticipating that he would be flanked in the next round, Young simply handed the ball to the only person he could trust, McConnell, and ran to the bottom corner to stand.

After watching the scene with Bradley for 15 seconds, Yang, who had been motionless in the corner, finally moved.

This time, he did not use the screen, but rushed directly to the top of the arc, seemingly wanting to take over the offense.

Even Bradley, a veteran who had been struggling for several years, thought he thought so, and tried his best to get stuck in his path.

But is anything so simple? With Young as a passer, how could he be so independent?

When he received McConnell's signal, he immediately stopped darting, turned around and ran toward the basket.

"Bang"

The height of 211cm played a decisive role. Bradley, who was defending Young, could not interfere with this alley-oop.

Knowing that Bradley could not stop Young's offense, Stevens, who was standing on the sidelines, motioned for Crowder to take over Young's defense in the next round.

Crowder at 198 is the third expendable card played by Stevens to Yang.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Unlike Bradley, who is a pestering type, Crowder is a confrontational defender who focuses on strength confrontation. He will continue to use physical contact to put pressure on Young as soon as the contact begins.

"It's useless." After making sure that the referee couldn't see it, Yang also started to respond. He suddenly hit Crowder with extremely strong force. This sudden impact caused Crowder to lose more than half a body.

With a half-length position, Young could easily catch Holmes, who was one step inside the three-point line and waiting to pass the ball to him.

After completing the pass, Holmes also took a step forward in a very Philadelphia-like manner, preparing to block Crowder's pursuit.

A miscalculated move occurred, and seeing that Yang had a wide-open opportunity, Olynyk, who was originally closed in the three-point line, immediately lost the non-threatening Holmes to fill Crowder's position.

Seeing someone in front of him, Young didn't hesitate and quickly directed the ball to McConnell, who was 45 degrees to the left.

McConnell's better tactical ability among the 76ers was fully reflected in the next moment. When Young gave the ball to him, he did not act in a hurry, but waited a moment.

While he was waiting, Yang also successfully reached the left corner.

Faced with this not-so-good opportunity, McConnell still passed the ball

"Shua"

"With Young hitting another three-pointer, the score difference on the field has reached 17 points. Is there really nothing that Coach Stevens can do?"

If Stevens hears this comment, he will definitely complain that the forward defender he has is outmatched in height, speed, and strength. What else can he do besides letting him use up as quickly as possible?

What's the solution?

…………

…………

When the first half of the game between the Celtics and the 76ers ended, the score on the field was beyond everyone's expectations.

The Philadelphia 76ers, who were ranked fifteenth in the Eastern Conference by major media, led the Boston Celtics by 19 points 66-47 on the road.

Being able to temporarily defeat the weak against the strong, the best player for the Philadelphia 76ers is naturally Young.

He made 6 of 8 in the half and 3 of 3 free throws, giving him a game-high 17 points. Combined with the data of 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, his performance in the first half was impeccable.

Followed closely by starting shooting guard E'Twaun Moore, who scored the team's second-highest 15 points in the second half of the first quarter by relying on floaters and off-ball three-pointers around screens.

In the back, Jerami Grant and Covington were fed by Young. They both scored 9 points, adding subsequent artillery fire to the top two."

…………

…………

Because the first half was so crazy, at the beginning of the second half, Yang, who remembered his principles, immediately focused his attack on Noel.

Even though Noel didn't score much, Young still worked tirelessly to pass several good passes to him.

If you can’t get in, you still need to feed?

That's right, who is the center? If you don't let him play well, if he can't defend you, the defense in the penalty area will be ruined.
Chapter completed!
