Chapter 117: Jiang Yang's role
"Not bad, not bad!" Seeing that this goal was scored, Jiang Yang couldn't help but smile proudly, after all, it was the first goal he scored, Jiang Yang said that it was impossible to be surprised, looking at the score in front of him, Jiang Yang smiled even happier.
was hit by Jiang Yang as if he was leaning on a small bench, and Nate Robinson was naturally unhappy.
The next ball, he beckoned to Dujon for the ball, Dujon is a very pure point guard, his role is to pass the ball, it is difficult to see him have an offensive performance, and now when he sees Nate asking for the ball, he gives the ball to Nate.
After Nate Robinson got the ball, Jiang Yang immediately posted it, he knew that this little potato was not simple.
His three-point shot is still quite accurate, and the breakthrough is relatively sharp, no one will forget, this guy is the champion of the two-time NBA dunk contest, especially the dunk he flew over Superman Howard last year, which is even more amazing.
Jiang Yang wouldn't give him a chance to fly past him, so as soon as he caught the ball, Jiang Yang rushed over.
Jiang Yang did not reject the small action, so when he pasted it, he began to put his hands on Nate Robinson, feeling the difficulty of Jiang Yang's defense, Nate's face couldn't help but turn green.
But who called him originally black, he couldn't see it, and the referee wouldn't blow a penalty for Jiang Yang's action that looked like a stroke, after all, in the NBA, it has not been said that it is not allowed to touch the opponent's waist when defending.
Only Nate Robinson knows where Jiang Yang touches, it is pinching, pressing, and sometimes he will rub his knees. Such a dirty defensive method, he had never said he had seen it before, and he had even heard of it...... That's been heard of too.
Legend has it that when Bowen was at his peak, he dealt with other elite players like this.
But then Bowen got old, just like those villains, when he got old, he would be kind to others in order to die a good death, and Bowen's actions were not so barbaric, especially in the last three years, almost no news of black people blacking people out, but when Bowen retired in 09, the NBA's talented guards were still celebrated by the whole country, and Nate Robinson's age was not young, but he has always been a dispensable role.
So Bowen and his defensive masters don't bother to trouble him, but Jiang Yang is different!
His defense came from Bowen, Uncle Bowen, and now his main purpose is to defend Nate Robinson.
"It's so dirty!" Feeling Jiang Yang's little hand touching and pinching his waist, Nate Robinson hated it beyond measure, but there was no way, that sour and numb feeling made it impossible for him to attack at all.
If the opponent is a big player, he can also rely on his height to deal with Jiang Yang, but Nate's height, hehe.
So even if his body reaches the level of A+, or even S-level, there is still no skill to use in the face of Jiang Yang.
Sometimes some small skills can make up for the lack of his own level, of course, if he fights like this for a long time, Jiang Yang has no choice, his physical strength is not enough to support him to use such a method every time the opponent attacks.
In fact, if Nate Robinson wants to play a dragon, his speed and strength are not something that Jiang Yang can prevent.
Unless Jiang Yang fouls, it is impossible for him to make the opponent stop, if he wants to make a small move, the most important thing is to make the opponent stop, if the opponent is still on the move, no matter how small the action is, it will be discovered by the referee and become a foul.
Looking at the situation on the field, Nate Robinson had to choose to pass the ball, and after handing the ball back to Dujon, Dujon handed the ball to Harrington on the inside, who faced substitute center Sheldon Williams.
What else is there to be polite about this? A simple false shake shook Sheldon Williams away, and then hit a layup himself, overtaking the score again, how could Jiang Yang let the other party overtake the score so easily? In the next offense, Jiang Yang burst with the ball himself, and after half court, he inserted the inside line, attracted Harrington, and passed to Sheldon Williams on the inside, who dunked without defense...... But then Nate hit Jiang Yang and chased him.
The substitutes on both sides played better than the main force, and with Jiang Yang's response, the whole team was running and attacking very quickly.
With the exception of Rasheed Wallace, all the remaining substitutes scored on the field.
By the time Jiang Yang went off the court with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Jiang Yang had already scored 8 points and 7 assists.
Now his offense may be a little poor, but in the face of the Knicks, who have a particularly poor defense, Jiang Yang's passing can play a huge role, like a scalpel, passing, directly tearing apart the opponent's defense, so that his players can easily hit, except for Rasheed Wallace, today's hand is like touching something, and not a single ball is scored.
Eddie House, Marquis Daniels, Bletcheng Scala Brien, all scored, and Shalton Williams, who was originally a coolie on the court, also scored 2 points, of course, it was Jiang Yang's pass just now.
At this time, the scores on both sides are tied, and the main players on both sides start to play! After the break, the main players on both sides played very hard, and Ray Allen, who had been underperforming in the first three quarters, played an important role in the key moment.
With 1:18 left in the game, he hit a three-pointer from the outside to put the score at 96-94 to a two-point lead, but then David Lee hooked up to score on the board after shaking off Perkins with his feet inside.
Equalised, but then Garnett singled Harrington, after a few leans and found that it couldn't be relied on.
Garnett turned around and hit the basket in a pretty standard step-back jumper stance.
The situation of interior players and outside players is different, when they are young, interior players mainly play physical, just like Howard now, their offense is mainly based on the body, while the outside players basically play technique, three-pointers, passing, etc., and after the end of their careers, interior players begin to play technique.
Just like Garnett and O'Neal now, they don't have the strength to rush inside anymore.
So you need to rely on your own investment to fight the world! And the outside players started to rush inside.
They are old and their skills are no longer available, so they can only continue to strengthen their strength, and then rush inside.
Garnett's skills have actually been good since he was young, and now that he is older, he is even more sophisticated.
Seeing Garnett's step-back jumper hit, there was some danger on the Knicks' side...... Harrington, who had not defended Garnett just now, made up for it in the final moments, rushing inside with 4.7 seconds left in the game, causing Garnett's foul and hitting two free throws to tie the score again.
98-98, now there are 4.7 seconds left in the game between the two sides, if Jiang Yang thinks, then press a lore.
Of course, it's good to get yourself up, but Doug Rivers obviously won't want to believe in Jiang Yang at such a critical time, after all, he has only played three games, and Rondo missed a three-point shot at the last minute, and both sides entered the entry game.
"Whew, it's going to be overtime!" Back on the bench, all the main players were tired and sweaty.
In the end, Rondo's shooting did not score, which really made these veterans a little unbearable, Garnett and Ray Allen were replenishing water next to them, and only Pierce's physical strength and energy were relatively strong in the Big Three.
Sitting next to him, wiping his sweat, he listened to the coach's overtime, because only Pierce still has the physical strength now, so the focus of the attack can only be handed over to Pierce, and Pierce did not live up to the coach's hopes.
At the start of overtime, Pierce scored the first seven points of overtime and increased his score to as many as 33 points.
But the Knicks, who felt just as good today, didn't give the Celtics an easy chance to win themselves.
David Lee, Nate Binson, and El Harrington also completed a wave of offense!
With 2:59 left in the game, the Celtics still led by four points at 105-101, but unfortunately, Rondo and Ray Allen missed shots and instead gave each other a chance, and after Nate Robinson hit a mid-range shot, David Lee tied the score with a dunk with 9.3 seconds left in the game.
With 9.3 seconds left before the end of the game, the Celtics had only one chance to attack.
Looking at everyone on the court, Doug Rivers's face is a little not good-looking, Ray Allen's physical strength is obviously a little overdrawn, today he is playing too fast, usually the Celtics are 80 points, 90 points to solve the existence of the opponent, today has been a hundred points, but the winner has not been distinguished, and the offensive and defensive conversion on both sides is a little too fast, for a regular season, let Ray Allen fight is really a little unwise.
And looking at the current situation of Ray Allen, maybe after he plays, this game may not be won.
Doug Rivers swept his gaze around the players sitting on the sidelines, Eddie House, the momentum is good, but the shooting is a little out of line, nerve knife, when it is on time, it scores several in a row, and when it is not allow, it doesn't go in a row, and you can't let him go on the court to destroy it at such a critical time. Marquis Daniels next to him, this guy doesn't have to think about it.
How can a player who likes to slip away at critical moments be on the field at critical moments? Ignore him.
Then Doug Rivers' eyes looked at Jiang Yang, who was watching the cheerleaders perform there.
"Jiang, play, replace Ray!" Listening to Doug Rivers' words, not only Jiang Yang, but also Ray Allen and them were stunned.
When Jiang Yang was in the dungeon before, he often played at the most critical moment, but it was a dungeon.
Jiang Yang didn't think that the world inside the copy was real, so he didn't have much pressure in his heart.
But now that the world is real, and he replaced Ray Allen, one of the team's Big Three, at a critical moment, Jiang Yang had to think about the consequences, Jiang Yang looked at Doug Rivers with some surprise, and then looked at Ray Allen.
However, Jiang Yang did not see the trace of anger on Ray Allen's face after he defeated the little fish Fisher, but saw a smile, of course, more stunned.
"It's okay, fight well! My strength is really wrong. Seeing Jiang Yang's inquiring gaze, Ray-Allen smiled and encouraged Jiang Yang, worthy of being a famous gentleman in the alliance, Lei! It's really open-minded.
In general, even if you can't play, you have to fight for the position of the main force, but now Ray Allen actually took the initiative to let Jiang Yang play, Jiang Yang was really a little moved, and Jiang Yang was also ready to play this ball well.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, Jiang, come on!" Doug Rivers didn't have time to care if Jiang Yang wasn't moved.
He only had 30 seconds to lay out the final tactics, and as soon as the 30 seconds passed, the timeout was over.
At the signal of the referee, the main players on both sides came to the court, and the Knicks, obviously, increased their defense, replaced Nate Robinson with Larry Hughes, and Gallinari did not let him play, let Wilson Chandler serve as the team's small forward, center David Lee, forward El Harrington, small forward Wilson Chandler, scoring guard Larry Hughes, point guard Chris Duhon, such a lineup has indicated that the Knicks are going to defend!
On the Celtics side, Ray Allen, who has physical problems, was replaced, and Jiang Yang was the shooting guard, the point guard was Rondo, the small forward Paul Pearce, the power forward Kevin Garnett, and the center Kendrick Perkins.
Under the referee's whistle, the game restarted, Garnett handed the ball directly to Rondo on the outside, and then ran to the inside, Rondo dribbled, looked at Dujon who was defending himself in front of him, and didn't say anything, just smiled.
Then he handed the ball to Pierce, who had scored seven points in overtime, and although he missed two shots, Pierce was definitely the most dangerous enemy for the Knicks, and Wilson Chandler was attracted to see him in front of him.
Pierce dribbled directly and broke through, squeezed Wilson Chandler's defense with strong force, and then rushed into the opponent's lineup, leading the Knicks' backcourt, and Larry Hughes, who was originally defending Jiang Yang, couldn't help but move two steps forward, Jiang Yang saw this opportunity and sneaked towards the basket.
And Pierce, who was breaking through, happened to see Jiang Yang's movements, and couldn't help laughing, he still admired Jiang Yang very much for this player, although this person's own strength still needs to be improved, but the spirit surname who plays is quite good.
"Next!" Pierce watched Jiang Yang sneak to the flank of the defense, shouted directly, and threw the basketball directly at Jiang Yang, after Jiang Yang received the ball, Larry Hughes felt that Jiang Yang had run away unconsciously.
immediately turned around and chased Jiang Yang, but is Jiang Yang so easy to chase? With the ball, the girl rushed to the opponent's half.
Harrington, who was defending Garnett, looked at Jiang Yang's movements, hesitated, and just wanted to abandon Garnett to help defend Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang used a passing feint to make Harrington instantly retreat to Garnett's side.
Garnett couldn't help but laugh when he saw Jiang Yang using himself as a gunman, this little guy is really not ordinary smart.
At this time, Jiang Yang's front was already empty, looking at the emptiness in front of him, Jiang Yang shouted, stepped on the line of the reasonable collision area, and flew up, and Larry Hughes behind him also flew, but he was originally two positions behind Jiang Yang, even if he chased it recently, he only caught up with half of his body, in this case, even if he jumped, he could only barely interfere with Jiang Yang, but will Jiang Yang be interfered with?
He cherishes every basketball in his hand more than David Lee, holding the ball in his right hand, Jiang Yang shouted, like a bird with wings, directly smashed the basketball into the basket with his right hand, and at this time, Larry Hughes's hand also slapped Jiang Yang's back, making Jiang Yang gasp, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.
Jiang Yang jumped off the basket at this time, constantly rubbing the place where he was hit by Larry Hughes in the back.
This guy's hand is really black, this slap, Jiang Yang can already predict it, it must be red!
"White zero foul, goal valid, plus a free throw!" As soon as the referee's gesture came out, the fans in the audience were about to riot, and the deafening boos almost booed Jiang Yang's earwax, which was still the consequence of only about half of the attendance, if there were fans in the audience, the boos would indeed be annoying enough.
This penalty can be said to directly determine the end of the Knicks, and now there are 2.1 seconds left before the end of the game, which is the offensive time of the Knicks, as long as Jiang Yang's goal is scored, the Celtics will ensure that they will not lose.
After Jiang Yang high-fived all his teammates, he stood on the free throw line, took the ball thrown by the referee, took a deep breath, and gently pushed the basketball out, but the basketball did not go in as everyone thought, but smashed directly on the neck of the basket, and at the moment when the basketball smashed on the neck of the basket, the timer began to run! Looking at this ball, De Dantoni off the field secretly cursed, this guy is so shameless! And Garnett, who is on the inside, didn't make the other side too comfortable.
directly slapped the basketball out, and the moment Du Hong picked up the basketball, the bell for the end of the game had already sounded.
"Roar!" The original piercing ringtone sounded so comfortable in Jiang Yang at this time.
As soon as the hair competition was over, Jiang Yang jumped up high, waving his arms in mid-air.
And Pierce and Garnett next to him also rushed over for the first time, patting Jiang Yang's shoulder, and the substitute players off the field also rushed into the field for the first time, celebrating the difficulty of this game, looking at their players because of the smiling faces of victory, Doug Rivers on the sidelines also laughed rarely, it turns out that his vision is not wrong, this Jiang Yang is really powerful, especially at the last moment, his calmness makes people feel terrible! Such a player, as long as it is developed, will not worry about not having a game to play, because no matter which team it is, it will need such a player with a big heart.
