67. Routines to stimulate potential

After returning from the second quarter, the two sides replaced most of the substitutes to compete.

This season, the Celtics, as the defending champion, are not strong in terms of the firepower of the substitute lineup, nor are they weak in terms of their firepower.

On the outside, the Celtics have excellent three-pointers Eddie House, and on the inside, Lyon Powell, who is very passionate in playing.

And these players are actually enough to face some ordinary teams in the league.

But if you meet a top team in the playoff level, it will seem a bit unsatisfactory.

Of course, at the same time, the Celtics also have an outside sharp knife with excellent defensive ability, that is, Tony Allen, the famous Grizzlies in the later generations.

Although Tony Allen is still young at this time, he does not have the strong defensive ability as strong as the Grizzlies' period.

But at this time, Tony Allen had already shown strong attainments on the defensive end.

At least for substitutes, Tony Allen's defensive ability is definitely the top in the league.

For the Thunder, Yang Fan made frequent adjustments to the lineup in the first quarter, and after returning from the second quarter, Yang Fan even took Avraro, who had just been traded, to the field for use.

Faced with this opportunity, Avraro was obviously a little excited because he never expected that head coach Yang Fan would take him on the court so early.

After all, the situation on the court between the two teams is equally matched at this moment.

In the past, when Avraro was on the Pistons, it was difficult for him to make a appearance in this situation.

So when Yang Fan asked him to prepare to play for the game, Avraro almost thought he had heard it wrong.

It was not until he repeatedly confirmed that Yang Fan was calling his own name that Avraro went on the field with an excited look on his face.

I am preparing to show my strength in this first show that also belongs to him, give back to Yang Fan, and resolutely not let Yang Fan down.

I just don’t know if it was my illusion. When Avraro changed out of training suit and entered the arena, Avraro always felt that Yang Fan looked at him with a strange look.

Even there is a trace of pity from the depths of Yang Fan's pupils?!

After Avraro changed his training suit and entered the arena, Yang Fan, who was standing on the bench, glanced at Avraro who was slightly excited, and then looked at Tony Allen of the Celtics.

Finally, after watching for a while, Yang Fan sighed helplessly and murmured to himself:

"I was shocked by your yelling that day, but don't be afraid, the coach is all for your own good..."

In the second quarter, Jeff Green on the bench also showed a very strong desire to attack.

In fact, although Jeff Green was arranged by Yang Fan to play in the bench this season, he has unrestricted attack rights on the bench.

Basically, when Durant and Westbrook are not present, then Jeff Green is just taking whatever he wants.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Jeff Green appears as a substitute, he completely enjoys the treatment of core players in the team.

After all, before Jeff Green had a heart surgery, his personal abilities were excellent, and his potential was also immeasurable.

Although it cannot be compared with a monster like Durant, if he is just allowed to play the role of the sixth person, then Jeff Green can be said to be more than enough.

In addition, Avraro, who was entrusted by Yang Fan to play in this game, also wanted to show off himself very much.

However, it may be that today is his first game for the Thunder, so Avraro is obviously not very relaxed on the court at this moment.

After receiving the pass from his teammates, he rarely plays a personal outside single, because Avraro doesn't want to be disliked by his teammates in the first game and labels him as a lone wolf.

With the match between the substitutes of both sides, the Celtics are obviously at a disadvantage in the substitutes.

Regarding this, Celtics head coach Rivers frowned in confusion.

If the Thunder's performance in the new season is completely beyond people's expectations, Rivers can also classify this as Thunder players are very talented.

But at this time, most of the main players of the Thunder have already left the court to rest.

No! To be precise, when all the five main players left the court to rest, the Thunder still made such a smooth attack, which made Rivers feel unreasonable.

After all, there is no way more than a dozen people on the Thunder’s 15-man roster have super strong personal talents. If this is the case, then how can you beat a hammer?!

Seeing the team gradually falling into a disadvantage in the competition with the Thunder, and the score difference on the field was also gradually widened by the Thunder. This situation obviously made Rivers feel lost.

Regardless of how the Thunder performs in the new season, in the impression of fans, the Thunder is like a weak chicken.

Even if he plays well for the time being this season, he can only be regarded as a weak chicken with great potential.

The Celtics are a real defending champion. Before the start of the new season, the team set a goal to pursue consecutive championships and complete the defending title in the new season.

As a result, in this game, the Celtics were suppressed by the Thunder.

Not to mention the competition between the main players of both sides, the Celtics did not take advantage of them at all.

In the second quarter, the Celtics were suppressed by the Thunder?!

This made the "champion coach" Rivers feel unacceptable in any case, so as time goes by, Rivers gradually began to regain the main lineup.

Faced with Rivers' substitution adjustment, Yang Fan seemed slow and did not disrupt his employing rhythm because of Rivers' early substitution.

He was still sitting off the court, eating oranges, and watching the game leisurely.

And during this period, Avraro suffered a lot.

Facing Tony Allen's defense, Avraro had already made up his mind to score two goals so that head coach Yang Fan could understand his strength.

As a result, facing Tony Allen, Avraro contributed twice to the ironclad and once to be intercepted.

Not only did the three attacks not hit once, but he also lost all his face in front of head coach Yang Fan, which undoubtedly made Avraro's face turn black.

Even his whole body was trembling and he kept aiming in Yang Fan's direction with his light.

Because Avlaro was afraid that Yang Fan would not only fail to seize it because he gave him a chance, but he was also frustrated with the offensive rhythm in the end.

Then he ruthlessly switched himself off the court, pressed him on the bench, and since then he became a real water dispenser administrator.

However, when Avraro saw that there was not much change in expression on Yang Fan's face and there was no intention of replacing him, he was relieved quietly.

But after breathing a sigh of relief, Avraro still felt a little guilty. After all, the calmer Yang Fan's performance was, the lower his expectations for him before this.

Even though everyone seemed to have become accustomed to his mediocrity since Avraro entered the league, Avraro still felt a little sad.

However, when Avraro had already started to feel guilty and uneasy on the court, and was even mentally prepared to be replaced by head coach Yang Fan.

Avraro suddenly heard the sound of head coach Yang Fan shouting loudly at him from the stadium:

"Aron, let go and play, don't have too much psychological burden. Now the defender you are facing has become thunder. I hope to see your ability on the field!!"
