Chapter 156: The sun shines in the sky

On December 30, 2009, U.S. time, and December 31, 2009, Yenjing time, the last game of the Celtics in 2009 kicked off in Phoenix, the Phoenix Suns have been the neck of the West since they joined the league in 1968, although they have never won the championship, but their own strength should not be underestimated.

There are a lot of famous stars in the Suns, but they have never been able to win the championship, and in '92 they introduced' Fliggy's Charles Buckley, hired coach Westphal, and moved the home court to a new arena, that season Buckley beat Jordan and became the regular season MVP, and the Suns also had the best record in history to break into the Finals, but unfortunately they met Jordan at that time, no matter how sharp the Suns were, they had to be overturned by the Bulls, and then in the 94-95 season, the Suns were also the favorites to win the championship, but unfortunately, they met the Rockets of the big dream Olajuwon...... It turned out to be tragic again.

In '04 they welcomed All-Star guard, Steve Nash, under the leadership of coach D'Antoni, to start a big offensive basketball game, blowing a small ball storm in the league, and nearly for the Western Conference championship and championship in those years.

For the second year in a row, the Suns reached the Western Conference Finals, but lost to the Spurs in '05 and the Mavericks in '06...... Missed the finals, in 07 years achieved the second regular season 61 wins, after the first round 4-1 kill Lakers, and then lost to the Spurs 2-4, in 08, the Suns traded Marion from the Heat for the big shark Neil, but the result was the first round, was killed by the Spurs, the Spurs can be said to be the Suns' number one nightmare...... O'Neal was unable to develop good chemistry with the team last year, leaving the Suns out of the playoffs for the first time five years ago, and in desperation, the Suns sent O'Neal to the Cavaliers.

This year's Suns are back on the road and currently have a 21-12 record, sitting in the top eight in the West! The team is full of talents, and the combat effectiveness is unprecedentedly strong, and today's starting lineup of the Suns, at least in Jiang Yang's opinion, is very aggressive! The starting center was the league's famous three-point center, Channing Frye, who immediately hit the Suns with very dazzling statistics.

There is also the original big inside, the All-Star level inside overlord, the small bully, Amare Stoudemire is also getting braver and braver.

A veteran at the small forward position, Grant Hill is also unusually strong, and his former rotten physique is gone with the Suns.

Recently, the team doctor of the Suns has been voted the best team doctor in the league by the outside world, because all the veterans can have a second spring in the Suns! It's like when a purebred glass man like Grant Hill came here and could play for a season without injury.

The shooting guard is a two-time slam dunk king, Jason Richardson, a three-point superstar with a dunk!

The point guard is, of course, a two-time MVP, Steve Nash, the league's master of passing.

The offensive ability is not bad, and the passing between the balls is unique in the league, and Jiang Yang's footsteps are copied from him.

However, while this guy's offensive ability is super strong, he also has a huge weakness, that is, his defense is almost ...... And on the bench, there are also a lot of players on the Suns, Leandro Barbossa, known as the Brazilian lightning (his ball skills are okay, but he is a little disgusting, and he broke his shoes with Nash's wife, which was kicked out of the Suns by Nash), as well as Jarred Dudley, Goran Dragic, who is now staying in the Nets, and is playing very well Brook Lopez's younger brother, Robin Lopez, but compared to his brother, this Robin Lopez is still very immature!

Originally, everyone was waiting for this dragon fight, but who knew that before the game, Celtic would suffer another heavy blow.

During the routine check-up before the game, Garnett felt some pain in the finger he twisted last time, and then when he checked it, it turned out to be inflamed!

In order not to delay the preparation for the playoffs, Garnett and Pierce put on suits and sat on the sidelines.

The game hasn't started yet, and losing two big players in a row is definitely not a good thing for the Celtics.

But even if there is no one, this game must continue to play, after the absence of Garnett, the Celtics' starters made some adjustments again, and today's Celtics' starters are as follows, center Kendrick Perkins, power forward is Rashid Wallace, small forward is Jiang Yang, scoring guard Ray Allen, point guard Rajon Rondo, because Garnett can't play today.

Jiang Yang's offensive task can't help but be a little heavy, although Pierce taught Jiang Yang his own training methods, but he doesn't think that an afternoon of training can change anything, of course he doesn't know that Jiang Yang is a skill!

As long as he learns the training in the air, he can make the training work immediately, just like learning from a young age!

So today, Jiang Yang is very confident in his playing time, and he is standing on the court at this time to move his body.

The two generals in the team are not there, this is also a good opportunity for Jiang Yang and their substitutes to come forward, there was no good training method before, so Jiang Yang's playing time has always been a problem, and now there are good training methods, hum! That's where we go!

"Toot!" The bell of the game rang, and the referee threw the basketball in his hand high into the air, and it was Perkins and Stoudemire who jumped the ball today.

It's only 208 cm, it's okay to play a power forward, but it's a little unqualified to play a center!

Today, it is rare for Perkins, when facing people with physical fitness, he actually gave a hand and slapped the basketball to his side.

After Rondo picked up the ball, he dribbled directly across the half, and his offensive task today was no less light.

So at the beginning, Rondo was a little anxious, just thirteen seconds later, he attacked by himself, and was slapped down by a big hat of Channing Frye next to him, but fortunately, Jiang Yang, who was following in time, picked up the ball and glanced at Channing Frye in front of him, Jiang Yang did not pass the ball by himself, but directly hit the earth and passed the ball to the inside, at this time Channing Frye was defending Jiang Yang, and the inside line of Perkins was naturally empty, and Perkins received the ball and went directly to the basket and scored the ball.

Celtic open the scoring! But soon the Suns are still the Celtics! Today, Jiang Yang's defensive player is Grant Hill, and Ray Allen defends Richardson, if Richardson breaks through and uses his body to force Ray Ray, who may not like physical contact, Ray Allen really has no way to take him, but he just shoots three points on the outside, so there is nothing to say, and Ray Allen successfully interfered with the ball, but although it was interfered with, Amare Stoudemire on the inside showed his strong physical fitness, Just put the rebound in Perkins' head, and then turn around and hit a jumper! Strongly equalize the score, through Perkins' dunk, he may not be able to, but his jump shot is not something Perkins can prevent! I could only watch the little bully put the ball in the basket.

However, the Celtics' side is not a soft club, Rondo's side assists Ray Allen, and Ray Allen hits a shot, but immediately Nash told Rondo what to do with a quick attack! After the Celtics scored, in less than ten seconds, Nash dribbled directly across the halfcourt, looking at Nash's speed, Jiang Yang was a little dizzy, who could see that this guy would be 36 years old in two days? Nash's nickname, Old Bean Sprouts...... Uh, no, it's the Sons of the Wind! These three words are not a joke.

The changes in his march made Rondo not even have time to react, so he was directly shaken away.

Then Nash, who rushed inside, drew Rashid Wallace's defense, and Perkins' speed ...... Hey, it's better not to come out...... Now there is no Garnett, and Rasheed Wallace can only come out to make up the defense, and then Nash passes the ball.

A simple pass from behind, Jiang Yang looked at this pass, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, Nash's pass is not an S+-level ability, but Jiang Yang can be sure that it is definitely S-level, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway.

The layman just feels very beautiful when he looks at Nash's pass, but Jiang Yang inherited the magic hand of Magic Johnson.

Magic's best offense is this, he doesn't look at people passing, but the rhythm of his pass is very sudden, like magic, the ball is still in his hand at this moment, and the next second the basketball runs into the hands of others and becomes an assist.

It's completely different from Nash's pass, you look at Nash's pass, you can feel very clearly that he's going to pass the ball, and to whom, but the moment he passes, the basketball in his hand turns into a gust of wind, and it goes straight through your defense, trying to catch it, but you can't catch it! That's the scariest thing about his passing!

After Stoudemire received Nash's pass, there was no one in front of him, and if he didn't dunk at this time, then he wouldn't be a little bully, Xiao Si jumped high, played a tomahawk with one hand, and dunked the basketball into the basket.

Rashid Wallace here was beaten a, and naturally he had to return it, but unfortunately he missed the outside three-point shot, but he was Parkins on the inside, using his big physique to squeeze out a space, grabbed the offensive rebound, looked at Channing Fry and Stoudemire standing behind him, Perkins really didn't dare to be strong, the bounce of the muscle-stick behind him, he knew very well, if he didn't do it well, it could be a big hat, and he didn't want to lose this face.

Just as he hesitated, a green figure rushed into the inside, and Perkins saw it and passed the ball directly.

After this green figure got the ball, he jumped up easily in the space squeezed out by Perkins, and smashed the basketball directly into the basket with the ball in his right hand, although it was just a very ordinary dunk, but this is already a very rare offensive method in the Celtics, which is known as the floor flow, looking at the No. 66 jersey behind this guy, the Celtics bench couldn't help but burst into bursts of applause, and he was only deducted by the other party on his side, which immediately returned to the court!

"Jiang Yang, that's good!" This game is Thursday, and it is broadcast live on the Internet, looking at Jiang Yang's dunk, many netizens on the Internet have come out to support Jiang Yang, and now Jiang Yang's reputation in China is not ordinary.

It seems that Jiang Yang has now become the third biggest sports master in China after Yao Ming and Liu Xiang, especially playing the sixth man in the popular Celtic team, oh, he has played the first game recently! Watching Jiang Yang's dunk, many fans felt very excited, as long as the Chinese players had a little shine on the court, they would feel very excited.

But although Jiang Yang on this side entered, Nash on the other side also immediately hit a board and scored a basket to chase the score back!

In the first half of the first quarter, the Celtics and the Suns were basically in a state of mutual violence, with the Greenshirts scoring one and the Suns scoring one! Both sides have been grinding there for foreign workers, and the gap between the scores has never been widened.

Until there were 7 minutes and 16 seconds left in the game, Rondo dribbled across the half court and wanted to pass the ball to Ray Allen but was stealed by Channing Frye, who gave the ball to Nash after the steal, and Nash dribbled the ball directly to break fast.

After coming to the half court with the ball, he directly shook off Rondo, and when he saw that Rondo was shaken away, Jiang Yang immediately came over to make up for the defense.

Rondo's defense is very strong, but that means that in the positional battle, in the face of Nash, who is activated, even if Jiang Yang has long hands and feet, he may not be able to block it, not to mention Rondo, seeing Nash coming, Jiang Yang immediately came over to make up for the defense.

But at the moment when Jiang Yang came over to make up for the defense, Nash passed! A simple through ball handed the ball directly to Grant Hill, who was originally defended by Jiang Yang, how could Grant Hill, a veteran, let go of such an opportunity?

Take off easily on the outside, then throw the basketball out, and after the basketball arcs in the air, it falls straight into the hoop! 16-12, the game has been played so far, and the score difference between the two sides has reached 4 points in an instant! The Celtics, for their part, immediately asked for a timeout!

This goal was the first goal scored by Grant Hill in this game, and he had also made one before that, but it was interfered with by Jiang Yang, and then he also tried to break through, but as soon as Jiang Yang's small hand was touched, he gave up the idea of breaking through.

His body knows that Jiang Yang's defense is inherited from Bowen, if this guy dares to break through, even if Jiang Yang doesn't make a black hand, it is estimated that he himself will be injured under such defense, these old fritters will not joke with their bodies!

So this time there was a chance to shoot a basket on the outside, he was very excited, high-fived all the way, Hill returned to the bench, and Jiang Yang also returned to the Celtics, and now the Celtics need to re-study their tactics!

According to Doug Rivers, the Celtics' side began to focus on the inside, and after the timeout, Rondo hoisted the ball into the interior to Perkins, who had a clear physical advantage and squeezed until seven feet away from the basket before making a jumper, but unfortunately the jump shot was missed, and was handed to Nash after Grant Hill grabbed the rebound.

After Nash dribbled past halfcourt, he handed it to Smalls for a single, and Smalls hit a jumper directly from 16 feet out, from Perkins' offensive failure to Stoudemire's jumper, which only took twelve seconds, and the Suns played too fast.

Then Rasheed Wallace missed a jumper from 9 feet out, was grabbed by Channing Frye, and it was Nash again, after dribbling past half court, he assisted Richardson to dunk it, and this time the offense only took four seconds...... "I rub, no wonder the Suns are so tall, the offense is so fast, and it blinds my titanium dog's eyes!" Jiang Yang looked at the Suns' offense on the court, and couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue, in less than a minute, the Suns directly played a wave of 7-0 small **, turning the original one-point difference into 8 points in an instant! The Celtics are in danger!

Then Rondo handed the ball to Ray Allen single, Ray Allen missed a jump shot from fourteen feet out, and was grabbed by Perkins on the inside to grab the offensive rebound, at this time Perkins was also anxious, forced a layup but was blocked by Xiaosi, just when Stoudemire wanted to grab the defensive rebound, a figure took a step forward to take the ball into his arms, and then before Stoudemire could react, he jumped, hit the board and put it into the basket, looking at the No. 66 jersey flying in the wind, the Celtics were boiling again!

It's not easy, after playing for more than a minute, Jiang Yang finally hit the basket, looking at Jiang Yang's actions on the court, Doug Rivers on the sidelines finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he can score now! And Jiang Yang's performance is not over yet.

Then the Suns attacked, Richardson shot in the middle, and was robbed of the offensive rebound by Grant Hill, in the face of Jiang Yang's defense, Grant Hill did not dare to be strong, Jiang Yang's name as a black hand has now spread all over the league, who knows if his feet are black or not.

What if the kung fu on his feet is as black as Bowen, then what will he do then? This is also one of the things that Grant Hill considers, so now he has to deal with it carefully, after thinking about it, he passed the ball to Richardson, but just passed the ball out, Jiang Yang rushed out like a cheetah, and at the moment when Richardson received the ball, Jiang Yang directly cut the ball.

Cut heavily on the basketball, of course, he also brought Richardson's little hand, but Jiang Yang's body blocked the referee's sight at this time, the referee didn't blow, Jiang Yang didn't be polite, he directly picked up the basketball, and then quickly rushed to the half court of the forward Suns, originally Richardson should have chased back, because he was the only closest to Jiang Yang at this time!

However, he is now telling the referee about Jiang Yang's foul, and he did not chase it back, it was Nash who chased Jiang Yang.

Nash was much faster than Jiang Yang, and when Jiang Yang rushed to the free throw line, Nash was already in front of him.

However, in addition to Nash's nickname called the Son of the Wind, he also has a nickname called Old Bean Sprouts!

Jiang Yang's height, arm span, and strength were dominant across the board, he directly knocked into Nash, jumped high, and under the gaze of the audience, Jiang Yang pulled out a strong hand and buckled violently, and at this time, the referee's whistle also sounded, defensive foul, 2+1!
