Chapter 150
The reason why Han Yi's attacking ability was strong enough.
Barros's assists were because Han Yi had a strong ability to attack the basket, and he could turn all the good and bad passes into goals.
If an assist is a full score of 10 points, then 2 points go to Barros, and the remaining 8 points go to Han Yi!
Although Joe Dumars' direct assists are not many, if the indirect assists are included, you will find that as long as he is on the court, the team's offense will be so simple, and when he is not on the court, the team's offensive performance will be very sluggish!
Joe Dumars usually does not take the initiative to cooperate with Han Yi, but often instigates others under the guise of Han Yi.
For example, when Han Yi attracted the Pacers' twin towers to attack at the same time, Han Yi returned the ball to Joe Dumars. The ball did not even stop when it reached Dumars' hands, but directly passed it to Ben Wallace who was ambushing behind Rick Schmitz!
When Schmitz just turned around, he could only watch Big Ben dunk!
"Bang!"
Simple and rough, two-handed dunk!
Last season, Ben Wallace, as the starting center of the Celtics, averaged 4.6 points per game, and this season, the score soared to 8.1 points!
Although this is still a very low average score for a starting center in the NBA, it is already very satisfying for the Celtics.
When we already have Han Yi as a nuclear weapon, it is enough for another inside player to understand the simplest cake.
For Big Ben, the level of the team organizer last season was obviously not enough for him, a guy who can only score when he is completely open, to seize the fleeting offensive opportunity.
Joe Dumars can take advantage of this fleeting opportunity in a dynamic offense, although he lacks the ability to create new offensive opportunities out of thin air compared to historical pass masters such as Kidd, Nash, and Stockton.
But Han Yi can do what Joe Dumars can't do.
Of course, what I'm talking about here is not passing the ball, but: as long as Han Yi gets the ball, the opponent must double-team him if they want to stop him, and as long as they double-team him, it will give the Celtics a chance to play more against fewer!
If the opportunity is obvious, Han Yi will pass it directly. If the opportunity is not good, he will pass it back to Joe Dumars and let him organize a wave. When the ball returns to Han Yi, a good offensive opportunity may have appeared!
For example:
Han Yi once again attracted a double-team from Pacers power forward Dale Davis and small forward Chris Mullin at the free throw line!
Can this ball be played? If it was last season, Han Yi would choose to do it directly!
But now Han Yi chose to return the ball to Joe Dumars, and the ball passed through Dumars' hands and McGrady passed it back to Han Yi. Han Yi was facing only Rick Schmitz under the basket!
After Han Yi got the ball, he did not make any moves to get rid of it. He did not care how much effort Rick Schmitz, who had already hugged him, had put in. He took a step inside and jumped up!
"Bang!"
A dunk, the fruit fell, knocked the big white bear Rick Schmitz to the ground!
2+1!
Han Yi went to the free throw line and scored a point!
70:50!
Just after halfway through the third quarter, the Celtics' lead had reached 20 points!
Compared with the score, what made the Indiana Pacers more desperate was the Celtics' defense!
The biggest change in the Celtics' scoring this year was that a large amount of ball possession was freed from Han Yi's hands.
From last season, Han Yi took the ball and worked hard to the end, but now the ball is given to Joe Dumars. Others, even pure rough guys like Ben Wallace, have their own share of the offensive scenes.
Such offensive changes have made the Celtics' offense blossom in more places. Han Yi's physical energy consumption on the offensive end has obviously decreased, but in fact, the Celtics' overall offense has not become better than last season.
Because Han Yi's offense is so buggy, when a large number of ball rights are dispersed, the Celtics' offense is more integrated and played more as a team, but this does not mean that the offensive efficiency is higher!
On the NBA stage, when a person can start the offensive mode with a 65% hit rate without distinction and work for a whole game, no team play can guarantee to be more efficient than him.
Facing the Celtics' new offensive mode, for the Pacers, although they still can't defend, it will not be worse than watching them.
Han Yi was even more uncomfortable when he could not do anything about it.
But defense is different. The Celtics' defense has improved dramatically this season!
Although Han Yi was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team last season, although Han Yi led the block list, and although Han Yi's inside partner was Ben Wallace, the future DPOY god. But the Celtics' defense is only at the middle level of the league, and even if you are not careful, you have to swim further downstream.
Because if you have a historical scoring point, your team's offense will naturally not be too bad.
But just one or two defensive players can't make up for the big pit of the whole team. The biggest pit of the Celtics' defense last season was the pair of extras on the outside who were easily attacked.
As long as there is one person on the opposite side, the Celtics can't defend on the outside.
When the perimeter defense can be ignored, Han Yi's blocked shots in the interior are naturally very satisfying, but the remaining wave of attacks that slipped through the net also made the Celtics very uncomfortable!
But this time there is no problem. Joe Dumars and Dell Curry's current defense is only 30% or 40% of their peak period, but this 30% or 40% can effectively intercept half of the casual perimeter penetration.
Or in other words, when encountering those who are really unstoppable, these two experienced veterans can effectively drive them into the defense zone of Han Yi or Ben.
In addition, McGrady has become stronger this season, so he will not suffer too much against strong forwards.
When the Celtics' three lines of defense are established, either you shoot us to death outside the three-point line, or as long as you rush in, just wait to be cleaned up by us!
Unfortunately, Reggie Miller, a god-level three-point shooter, was also very inaccurate today. Not only was his outside shot inaccurate, but his inside shot was also completely useless. Only the elderly Mullin was left to support him. The result was...
99:74!
The Celtics beat the Pacers by 25 points and won 8 consecutive games!
However, such performance still cannot satisfy the black fans. Some people said that the 58-point victory over the Bulls was bullying, and the 25-point victory over the Pacers was bullying the old, weak and disabled.
Han Yi glanced at the schedule. Going home to play the Los Angeles Lakers in two days, right?
27-year-old Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant who is not even 21 years old!
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently ranked third in the West!
"What a young OK combination! What a strong Los Angeles Lakers! It's really a good grindstone!"
