Chapter 198: Only fast is not broken

Anthony hit two free throws, and sure enough, the difference between the two sides has been stretched to 18 points! At this time, the Celtics had to attack.

After Jiang Yang dribbled the ball past half court, there was still no good way to hit Billups, looking at Billups in front of him, Jiang Yang's eyes kept turning, thinking about how to deal with it, but on the court, time was moving.

So after Jiang Yang hesitated for a while, he handed the ball to Tony Allen, and Tony Allen's breakthrough was at least sharper than Jiang Yang.

Tony Allen took the ball and rushed inside, but his layup was blocked by Birdman Chris Anderson again, but fortunately, Glen Davis on the inside grabbed the offensive rebound and was pulled down by Nene foul when he made a layup.

Sent Glen Davis to the free throw line, Glen Davis's free throws have not been very stable, although the first free throw was hit, but when the second free throw was shot, Jiang Yang already felt that he was shaking in the cheers of the Nuggets fans all over the court.

As soon as his type changed, his shooting rate naturally had no guarantee, but Rashid Wallace on the inside, with his height and experience, still grabbed the basketball one step ahead of the opponent, and then passed it directly to the outside and handed it to Jiang Yang.

At this time, the score on both sides was 17-34, and the Nuggets were still 17 points ahead of the Celtics.

In the face of Billups, Jiang Yang still has some height advantages, but only height advantages.

Although Billups couldn't block Jiang Yang's basketball, it didn't prevent him from sealing Jiang Yang's eyes, with his feelings, Jiang Yang threw the ball, maybe it was really Jiang Yang's feeling that had an effect, and today Lady Luck was on Jiang Yang's side.

After the basketball drew an arc in the air, it fell straight into the basket, three points, Jiang Yang successfully helped the Celtics slowly narrow the score, but after it fell, Jiang Yang couldn't help patting his chest, he knew better than anyone that this ball was actually just lucky, commonly known as Meng's, just now Jiang Yang estimated that his shooting rate would not be higher than 20%, but he still went in, luck was on Jiang Yang's side this time, and in terms of Nuggets, Billups made Jiang Yang's buk-jake naturally unhappy.

In the next offense, although he did not break through Jiang Yang's defense, he assisted Chris Anderson on the inside, Birdman Anderson is called Birdman, there is only one reason, that is, his bounce is really strong, on the head of Glen Davis, he completed a violent dunk, and Glen Davis who dunked was not tempered at all, 36-20, the Celtics still trailed by 16 points.

And then Jiang Yang still pressed the offense on himself, but in the face of Billups' defense, Jiang Yang's mid-range shot did not score this time.

There is no way, Billups' defense is too good, and it is not something that Jiang Yang can easily break through.

And he is very stable, although he is not as tall as Jiang Yang in height, but there is no obvious disadvantage, Billups is 191 cm tall, coupled with a super long arm span and good bounce, the most important thing is that he has very good strength, so Jiang Yang's defense made Jiang Yang at a loss, in the last ten seconds of the first quarter, only Ray Allen dunked and scored two points, and no one else scored.

In the final first quarter of the game, the Nuggets led the Celtics by 15 points 37-22 into the second quarter, such a point difference is really a little helpless, the opponent's offense is too sharp, and the offensive end can't find a feeling, at the break in the first quarter, Doug Rivers made a new arrangement for Jiang Yang and them, since they can't score, then don't let the other party score! It's as simple as that, this has always been the main tactic of the Celtic army, and defense is the constant tone of the Green Shirts.

After the start of the second quarter, the Green Shirts significantly strengthened their defense and began to slowly chase points.

In addition to a three-pointer from Jr-Smith in the opening game, the Celtics scored four straight points.

With 10 minutes and 16 seconds left before the end of the second quarter, Anthony hit Tony Allen with his back and was stealed by the latter, and then handed a long pass to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang passed Ray Allen on his back, Ray Allen's mid-range shot missed, and Glen Davis pressed Anderson to grab the offensive rebound.

Squeezed by Glenn Davis, Anderson was squeezed away, and then the little fat man got the offensive rebound.

But he got the rebound, but he didn't dare to attack, Anderson can indeed be squeezed away by himself, but his bounce is still there, if he dares to attack, Anderson behind him is very likely to block himself, so Glenn Davis hesitated for a moment and didn't make a shot, it just so happened that at this time Jiang Yang killed directly from behind, and after receiving Glen Davis's pass, he easily dunked it, after all, he had no one to defend here, and Anderson over there could be squeezed behind Glen Davis. The score on both sides of 28-40 continued to shrink, and now it is Ty Lawson who is defending Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang is still more sure of him, and then Jr-Smith tried to shoot on the outside again, but still did not score, and was grabbed by Rashid Wallace and passed to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang took the ball and went directly to the fast attack, and the long pass was handed to Ray Allen, who had run to the inside.

At this time, only Anthony was closest to Ray Allen, so he could only foul Ray Allen, and had to send him to the free throw line, let Ray Allen go to the free throw line, that was almost the meaning of giving away points, two free throws and two hits, 30-40, and the Celtics narrowed the score to 10! But Kenyon Martin on this side immediately hit a jump shot, and then Rashid Wallace also hooked up, but Martin hit a long-range shot again, and the Celtics fell behind by 12 points at 44-32 and had to ask for a timeout. And at 7 minutes and 48 seconds, Anthony missed the shot, was grabbed by Glenn Davis, and then handed it to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang broke through Ty Lawson, attracted the attention of the other party, and passed Ray Allen, the latter's three points finally opened! After a three-point break, the original 10-point gap was instantly narrowed to 7 points!

The Nuggets had to make a substitution, replacing Anthony with Afflaro to strengthen their defense.

But even if it is strengthened, it has no obvious effect, and Jiang Yang still has an advantage in the face of Ty Lawson.

Jiang Yang made a direct jump shot on the inside and scored two more points, and Ty Lawson's height made him unable to keep up with Jiang Yang's movements.

Although Ty Lawson is not as short as Nate Robinson in the NBA, he is definitely not tall, only 180 cm, he is not a giant in the league, and in the face of Jiang Yang, who is 201 cm, he naturally suffers.

Fortunately, Anderson and Kenyon Martin on the Nuggets' side caused fouls on the Celtics side one after another, hitting two of the four free throws, and slowly maintained the score on the court until there were 7 minutes and 17 seconds left in the game, Rondo replaced Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang got 7 points and 3 assists at this time, and he played relatively well, but the opponent had already replaced Billups.

The current Jiang Yang is still too disadvantaged in the face of Billups, so there is nothing wrong with Doug Rivers replacing Jiang Yang!

For the rest of the second quarter, the Celtics were chasing points, and although the Nuggets were unwilling to give up the score like this, the Celtics' chasing momentum was not weak, and at the end of the half, the Nuggets only led the Celtics by 5 points at 54-49.

After a dozen points in the first quarter and only a five-point lead in the second quarter, the Nuggets players began to move in their hearts...... But it's not just themselves who know what their teammates' psychology is doing, it's also the team's coach, George Carr, and their current team captain, Big Brother, Chauncey Billups! Billups didn't disappoint his younger brothers.

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, Garnett first turned around and hit a jumper to hit two points, but then Billups received a pass from Nene and hit a three-point shot directly.

Garsente hit a turnaround jumper from 11 feet out, but Billups immediately drew a foul on Perkins and hit two free throws!

Rondo hit a jumper from 20 feet out, but then Billups drew another foul on Rondo and hit two free throws!

With Billups' own unique score at the beginning of the third quarter, he played a 10-10 tie with the Celtics as a team!

With one enemy and five defeats, the current Billups is not left behind, and with Billups's ten-point streak, the fighting spirit of the players on the entire field and the cheers of the fans have been activated, but even if their fighting spirit is high, the Celtics will not be affected, what is the most Celtic? The most veterans! The experience of the veteran played a huge role at this time.

Watching Ray Allen burst into the interior line unaffected, and passed Perkins, who hit a layup, you know that the Celtics are not in a hurry now, and on the other side of Rondo, this player is born with a calm heart.

You can say Nelson Brains Heat, you can say Mo Williams Brains, you can say Brooks, Westbrook, Rose, etc...... You can put these four words on the heads of at least ninety percent of the young point guards in the league, they all have such problems, they are particularly impatient at critical moments, and often shoot some unbelievable shots, but Rondo will never, this guy is calm and not like a young man in his twenties, but like a middle-aged player in his thirties! Just like now, he grabbed Billups under the boos of the audience and the provocation of the other party.

Then, with the help of his teammates' coverage, he went inside, shook off the defense of Anderson and Martin and hit a layup.

His calm play is what Jiang Yang needs to learn the most now! At 5 minutes and 24 seconds into the third quarter of the game, Ray Allen received a pass from Garnett and hit a layup, and caused Afralo's foul, at the most critical moment, Ray Allen played a 2+1 with his experience and skills, and the current score on both sides became 66-65, and the Nuggets only led by one point! The Celtics have come from behind and bared their fangs, and now the two fangs have bitten into the neck of the Nuggets, and if the Nuggets don't find a way to shake them off, then the Celtics won't let the Nuggets go!

Taking advantage of this dead-ball opportunity, the Nuggets' George Karl immediately called a timeout, and now they need to re-arrange, and the Celtics also need to re-arrange, they need to replace the offense of the main players.

"Jiang, Marquis, play! Jiang, how do you want to fight next? Doug Rivers immediately arranged for a replacement player, Jiang Yang came to the court and replaced Rondo, while Marquis Daniels replaced Paul Pearce.

Ray Allen, Garnett and Rashid Wallace stayed on the court, alongside Jiang Yang and Daniels.

Originally, Jiang Yang just wanted to play and forget it, but who knew that Doug Rivers also specifically asked such a sentence.

"I want to attack quickly, but ......" Jiang Yang only said halfway, and then set his sights on Rashid Wallace, Garnett and Ray Allen, the current Celtics team is obviously not suitable for fast offense, because the veterans can't run.

"It's good that you have such thoughts! I need you to show your energy on the field! Garnett and Rashid will pay attention to defense, Ray will pay attention to strategy, Marquis, you rush with Jiang Yang! After listening to Jiang Yang's words, Doug Rivers nodded in response.

In fact, he didn't say a word, Chauncey Billups, this player, made his fortune with the Pistons, everyone really knows him because he won the Finals MVP when his Pistons team, the series that overturned the Lakers.

At that time, the Pistons were playing positional warfare, and it was once said that Chauncey-Billups had a bad reputation.

But he may be the best player in the United States, or even the world, to play positional battles, he can play singles, he can be tandem, there is no dead end in the offense, three-point, mid-range shooting, throwing, basket, all can be played! And the level of passing is good, the level of defense is also not bad, the speed is not slow, and the strength is very strong! It makes him one of the toughest people to deal with in the number one position.

If the Celtics slow down at this time, Jiang Yang will face Billups, and there is a ninety percent chance that it will be like the first quarter.

Jiang Yang scored a three-pointer, but he was still blinded, and the rest of the time he was defended by this Billups, and he had no chance at all.

So at this time, Jiang Yang is a good way to play fast, Garnett they can't run, do you think Billups still has too much physical strength? Isn't a point guard human? With Jiang Yang and Rondo, the two young people, consume him to death!

After Jiang Yang came on the court, he really did what Doug Rivers requested, and Ray Allen's free throws allowed the Celtics to tie with the Nuggets 66-66, and the original gap of more than a dozen points has now been tied by the Celtics.

Then Anthony, who was in a hurry to attack, missed the layup, and was rebounded by Daniels, Jiang Yang, who got the rebound, ran directly with the ball, and after grabbing the rebound, Jiang Yang had already passed the ball in only six seconds and handed the ball to Ray Allen, who missed three points!

And the rebound just collapsed in front of Jiang Yang, and Billups, who was staring at Jiang Yang, had already pounced at this time.

And Jiang Yang threw the basketball directly and easily, handed the basketball directly to the inner scripture, Daniels was born, and after picking up the basketball, he directly pulled the basket reflexively and scored the basket! 68-66, the Celtics took a two-point lead.

Look at the time, when Anthony couldn't shoot, there were 5 minutes and 08 seconds left before the game, and when Daniels hit, there were still 4 minutes and 57 seconds left before the game, 11 seconds, which looks like a long time, but don't forget, Jiang Yang and they have completed two attacks, even if the second attack is a half-court attack, it still makes people feel that the Celtics are speeding up.

But playing fast, the Nuggets seemed to have more say, and after nine seconds of time, Nene received a pass from Anthony and hit a dunk to equalize the score, and then Garnett turned around and missed a jumper, and Kenyon Martin missed a jumper!

After Jiang Yang got the defensive rebound, he advanced to the opponent's half in 4 seconds, passed the ball in 1 second, and Daniels shot in 2 seconds, consuming a total of seven seconds to complete this offense, although he didn't score, but the meaning of the Celtics, everyone understands! And taking advantage of the fact that the opponent did not score this time, the Nuggets also played a fast break, and they only took five seconds from the backcourt rebound to the goal, Martin took the ball and handed a long pass to Billups, Billups handed it to Anthony, and Anthony hit a layup.

But on the Celtics side, Jiang Yang once again used four seconds to push through the half, and then after Rasheed Wallace's blocking, he went directly to the inside, and in a total of eight seconds, Jiang Yang used a low-handed layup, shook off Nen, and scored the ball!

In the rest of the third quarter, the two sides fought against each other, and when there were 25 seconds left in the game, the two sides fought to a 80-80 draw, and the shooting rate on both sides was not too high, but the speed on both sides was very fast, which also allowed the fans in front of the TV and the scene to see a very beautiful offensive battle, Jiang Yang was on the court, using his young speed, and Billups around.

It was Billup who finally fell first, replaced by J.R. Smith and Ty Lawson, and with 5 seconds left in the game, Kenyon Martin received a pass from Anthony and dunked hard, and there was really no way to do it.

In the end, Jiang Yang missed three points, and the Celtics entered the final quarter with a score of 80-82!
