Chapter 331: Half-Time Massacre
It turns out that the current Rockets are indeed in trouble, the Raptors' original defense that leaked everywhere like the Rockets, suddenly became dense, of course, it is not so much the Raptors' defense that is better, the Rockets' offense has withered This is more convincing.
In the first nine minutes of this section, they only scored seven points, and after the pause, the Rockets immediately played a wave of 7-2 to stabilize the situation, but when Jiang Yang hit two consecutive three-point shots, the Rockets had to call a timeout, but the timeout came back, and Jiang Yang was not ready to let them go, but Banyani, who may have been stimulated by the departure of his friend, also showed extraordinary courage in the next game, Jiang Yang only scored 8 points in the second quarter, but Banyani scored as many points as he did in the half.
This really doesn't look like the same Banyani who didn't work hard at the beginning, I don't know what he means now......
The Raptors won by 12 points in the second quarter at 28-16 and led by 15 points at 58-43 to enter the third quarter.
Originally, Rockets fans wanted to see the Rockets reverse at halftime, but at the beginning of the third quarter, the sharp arrows really meant this, and Lowry actually caused Jiang Yang's foul, which was really a very surprising thing.
Actually, it was a good hat, but the referees saw that the Rockets were so far behind now, and they had an obligation to make the game look good.
So Lowry stood on the free throw line and hit two free throws, but Banyani immediately received Jiang Yang's pass and made a layup.
Baniani's character, Jiang Yang is very disdainful, but his offensive ability can definitely be ranked in the top ten in the league's interior line, and he faces the interior line of the Rockets who have almost no threat, which is the team's second offensive point.
However, Scola and Martin scored five points in a row to help the Rockets chase the score, 50-60, and soon played another wave, with 58-62 to pull the score to only 4 points, the Rockets started the quarter with a full 15-4, but after that, the Raptors stabilized their position under the command of Jiang Yang.
Especially DeMar and DeRozan, this guy has been brainless and forward several times, but he didn't hit!
On the contrary, Jiang Yang scored two points, but Jiang Yang's current hand is not too good, after Lowry and Scola scored another four points, the Rockets turned the score into Gong M Ping! The two sides were tied, and the Raptors could only call a timeout again.
And after the pause came back, the ball possession completely changed, and Jiang Yang, who was still planning, instantly became the team's offensive finisher! Jiang Yang first hit a three-pointer in front of Lowry on the outside, then broke through into the inside, dunked in front of Brad Miller, and then shook off Battier, and made a pull-up jump shot at the free throw line.
After scoring seven points in a row and returning from a timeout, Jiang Yang proved to everyone that it was not for nothing that he was now called the league's No. 1 attacker.
After scoring seven points in a row, Jiang Yang's total score rose to 28 points, and at the same time, it also helped the Raptors catch up with Biren.
At the end of the third quarter, the Raptors directly led the opponent by seven points at 81-74 and entered the final tiebreaker!
In the first two and a half minutes of the final quarter, Jiang Yang rested off the court, and the Rockets could still be entangled with the Raptors, but then Gongyang came on the court and led Linas and Kreza , Barbosa and other people on the bench, scored six points in a row again, and directly pulled the score to more than ten points at 93-81, and then Jiang Yang hit another three-pointer and a two-pointer, expanding the score to 98-81 in one breath, Houston fell behind the score difference as high as 17 shots, Martin scored four points, and Miller also made a jumper, but unfortunately, Jiang Yang, who has already scored 35 points today, does not intend to let them go! Not to mention hitting three points again, and causing Brad and Miller to commit a foul on the inside, 2+1 success, the score directly rose to 41 points, and at the same time, it also stabilized the team's position.
The Rockets trailed the Raptors by as many as 16 points at 94-110 with the final 43 seconds, at which point the Rockets gave up their resistance.
After the Raptors replaced Jiang Yang, the Rockets chased the score back by a small point, and finally lost Toronto 94-110, with a point difference, everyone thought of this result before the game, and Jiang Yang's 41 points, which seems to be the most normal in Toronto fans, Jiang Yang's own strength, everyone knows it in front of everyone, very buggy!
'We made too many mistakes in key moments, let's look at those mistakes, getting the opponent to get offensive rebounds, always making mistakes, when we came off the bench, before our offense stalled, we have these questions every game...... Jiang Yang, this guy I can only say is a magical guy! Because of his existence, our rhythm has disappeared, we must find our rhythm, and now we are led by Jiang Yang's nose, and he makes our rhythm disappear completely...... "This is the coach of the Rockets after the game, Adelman's words, but these words have a somewhat sour taste.
"As long as there is Jiang Yang, any team is a playoff team! It's like the original Lakers with Kobe! This is what Yao Ming said in an interview after the game, such an evaluation was just an evaluation given to Jiang Yang by Magic Johnson, which originally only accounted for a small point of entertainment news, but now this small point has become the truth.
'I didn't do it to defend ......him, I didn't do it, I didn't do it, every time I stood in front of him, I always felt that he had a hundred ways to score. This is the current captain of the Rockets, Sean Battier's words, he was indeed a little helpless when he said this.
In today's game, he and Lowry, he and Miller continued to join forces to pinch Jiang Yang, but Jiang Yang still scored 41 points.
And it can be seen that at the beginning, in the first three and a half quarters, Jiang Yang didn't want to score too much, after all, before he scored seven points in a row in the third quarter, he only scored a total of 21 points! The last seven points were almost completed within two minutes, and he also rested for more than three minutes in the second half before playing, which means that Jiang Yang scored 20 points in "minutes!"
This makes Battier, who is famous in the league for his defense, can only sigh, how can he feel embarrassed......
In this game, Jiang Yang once again won the honor of the best player of the game, with 41 points "rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, and there is no such all-round all-around!" In addition to Jiang Yang, the Raptors also had five players score in double figures.
The Deria Banyani performed quite well today, contributing a total of 21 points in the game, Sony 1 Weiyans points, DeMar 10 points DeRozan, Barbossa 12, Linas 10 points, and the performance was quite good.
On the Rockets side, the highest scorer is Kevin Martin, who has a 50% shooting percentage, and this guy's ability to cheat fouls is really strong.
The whole court deceived "a free throw", "free throw", plus the shooting rate of 8 of 16, a total of 31 points.
In the face of DeMar and DeRozan, a guy who is not very good at his head, Martin is now a good scorer, and except for him, the Rockets have no one who scores double-doubles, Brad and Miller are ten points, Luis and Scola are 19 points, Lowry scored "points" under Jiang Yang's defense, and his performance is remarkable, but compared with Jiang Yang, it is always one level worse.
Captain Sean Battier won, there are points, and the performance is okay, and the winning streak has reached 7.
And their two home games, respectively, against the Kyle Holders and the 76ers, one at the 2nd, one at the 24th, and then another Kyle Holders, and another Hawks, the Raptors will officially end this month's game.
However, before playing the Celtics, the Raptors have a new mission, welcoming new players!
"Let's come here, this is the new player who transferred today, Mark Gasol, Sam Yang, I hope from today onwards, you will get along well and work together for the Raptors' tomorrow!" In the team's training locker room, Jay walked in with two people and said to the players who were chatting and farting in the locker room.
Jiang Yang, who was sitting in the locker room, looked at the bearded white man in front of him, and the black man next to him, and couldn't help but be the first to stand up and stretch out his hand with a smile, and Mark Gasol was also startled when he saw Jiang Yang come over first to show goodwill.
Although he has played very well on the court recently and is known as a future player, compared with Jiang Yang, he is still more than one level behind, what kind of person is Jiang Yang! The current scoring king, assist king, steal king, blocking king, and at the same time he is also his future boss, now Jiang Yang takes the initiative to reach out, so he will carry it himself! Mark Gasol immediately stretched out his big hand and shook Jiang Yang, and after letting go, Jiang Yangguan shook his hand with Sama Yiyang again, he is the boss of this team to set an example.
Seeing that Jiang Yang lowered his posture first, Jay couldn't help but smile and nodded, the boss of this team is really on the road.
"No one wants the numbers 33 and 3 you used to wear, and you still have to use the old numbers!" Looking at the wardrobe, Jay Tria said to the two newcomers, listening to Jay Tria's words, both of them nodded and agreed to use their previous numbers, in fact, they didn't want to change, and when these two people finished changing their clothes and warming up, Jiang Yang had been sitting next to observe the two newcomers, Marc Gasol needless to say, he had been defined by the alliance as a potential new star in the future.
Marc Gasol, full name Marc Gasol Saeus, alias: Gasol Jr., Spanish professional basketball mobilizer, has only played for the NBA Memphis Grizzlies, the power forward is the center, and his brother is the NBA All-Star level player Pau Gasol.
He also is a person who is looked down upon by the league, he attended high school in Memphis in the United States when he was a child, and then joined the Spanish national chalk team, and played with the team in the 2006 World Basketball Championships, and won the eventual championship, averaging 11.1 minutes per game, 4.88 and 2.11 rebounds, and everyone didn't seem to be too impressed with him.
The impression of him is entirely because of his brother, called Pau Gasol, and then Gasol Jr. participated in the 2007 draft, and in the 2007 NBA draft, he was selected by Cider in the eighteenth place in the second round, but the team did not sign him! Then Gasol Jr. disappeared until 2008, when the Lakers made a trade with the Grizzlies.
In order to get Paul Gasol, the Lakers used the main centers in the team at the time, Kwame Brown, Javiri Dead Leaves, Crispenton, Aaron McGee and two first-round picks in 2008 and 2010 plus the signing rights of Mark Gasol to trade Paul Gasol to the Grizzlies plus the Grizzlies' second-round pick in 2010, and the Grizzlies officially began to rebuild.
And the Lakers are also starting to move towards the championship! As soon as this deal came out, Spurs coach Vicky once said: The league should step in to ban this unfair trade! And two years ago, that is, this year.
Looking at the rising Grizzlies, even Bo Shuai has to admit that the Grizzlies have been rewarded from the trade that year.
On the plus side, the Grizzlies originally expected Kwame Brown and Critanton to help the team and the other two draft picks played a role, but the real role was Gasol Jr., who was accidentally involved in the trade, and now Gasol Jr. has become an important minister in Memphis today, but his importance is not irreplaceable.
They themselves have "the most watery eye in history, known as Hashiyan and Thabitt in the No. 5 position, plus Iranian center Hamad Haddadi, who was signed this summer, and the 27th rookie in the first round in 2008, Darrell Arthur......
There is no shortage of people in their center position, plus Gasol's offensive ability is not very strong, he has a defensive posture in the court, and he is originally European, so Memphis is not very optimistic about him.
Their inside core is Zach Randolph, their outside core is Rudy and Gasol, and Mark and Gasol are dispensable.
The main thing is that the people who the Raptors traded made them tempted! Jose Calderón, a man who can rank in the top five in the league in assists! Now that the Raptors have Jiang Yang, they don't need Jose Calderon, but they don't need to be chalky.
The Grizzlies' starting point guard is Mike Conley, Conley's offense is very much like a point guard, averaging about ten points per game, you can't expect him to brush out more than 30 points, more than 40 points like Jiang Yang and Rose, and his help ......,
Much like the 2009-2010 season of the shooting guard, last season, he had an all-time high in assists!
5.3 per game, and such an assist, obviously not satisfying the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies, who have cultivated him for three years, finally began to move on him, of course, Conley is impossible to be traded, after all, he has signed a five-year $40 million contract, what they need is to let Jose Calderon to make up for Conley's passes, and at the same time, Jose Calderon can also play as a substitute.
And the No. 1 position has always been a big trouble for the Grizzlies, because in the bench time, it is basically OJ Mayo who is making a cameo.
But the O.J. Mayo family is a shooting guard...... Under such pressure, the Raptors chose to trade, traded Jose Ten Delon, and then traded away Mark and Gasol, as for Sayan and Yang, it was an addition......
Even if Mark Gasol is good, his ability and salary can only be doubled! Now his salary is 3.62 million, which is 7.24 million when doubled, while Jose Calderón's salary is as high as 9.78 million.
"How does it feel this time?" I don't know when, the team's general manager, Green and Grandward, appeared behind Jiang Yang.
"Marc Gasol, although his feet are not very flexible, and his chalk ability is not very strong, but he dares to fight and fight! It's a good piece of material, and although it can't be the team's main offensive point on the inside, it's no problem to be the defensive gate on the inside. , Looking at the Mark Gasol who was practicing the basket position on the court, Jiang Yang nodded and commented, Speaking of card rebounds, Reggie and Evans are definitely not bad, but his height limits his play, plus he can't attack at all, it is indeed a trouble.
"That Sam Yang...... The physical fitness is very good, the arm span is very long, and it seems that he has strength, not bad, has a certain jump shooting ability, and is also very active when defending. It looks like you've traded a good substitute, and with the height problem, it's not impossible to get him to start! But his dribbling ...... Hehe, he's only suitable to be a defensive and offensive finisher......" Jiang Yang said with a smile as he looked at Sa Ma Yiyang, who would lose his dribble in the distance.
After listening to Jiang Yang's evaluation, Green and Grandward also laughed, that Sama and Yang were just adding to their heads, it didn't matter.
"Next, my goal is him! Do you see if there is a problem? At this time, Green took out a report from the backpack behind him and sent it to Jiang Yang's hand, looking at the person on the report, Jiang Yang couldn't help but be happy.
"This guy is not easy to win, after all, he just signed a big contract this year, and he is also a new All-Star, is the other party willing to let it go?" Jiang Yang looked at the form in his hand, and couldn't help but smile and said to Green-Grandward next to him.
"Jiang, just tell me that you are not satisfied, what to do, it's up to me! You also know that those guys above don't like us to point fingers at them, you just have to tell me that you are not satisfied! Looking at Jiang Yang, Green said with a smile that no team will change anything because of one player, even if this player is Jordan or Kobe!
"No problem, I'm very satisfied!" Looking at the report in his hand, Jiang Yang's smile is called a treacherous!
