Chapter 200: Target Knight
Losing one point is losing, losing 100 points is also losing, that is, losing is more decent, and losing is more ugly...... But no matter how decent it is, it is a loss, the best of the game was taken by Chauncey Billups, he had 26 points and 7 assists, Kenyon Martin had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Nene had 16 points and 10 rebounds, the impact of the two of them on the Celtics' interior was very good, Anthony had 23 wins and 8 assists in the game, and his defense also gave Jiang Yang a lot of opportunities, and the remaining one of the Nuggets scored double-doubles was J.R. Smith, who scored 19 points, and his three-point shot was really crazy, only shooting 6 of 17 in total, is a three-point shot but has 5 of 11 shots, and his hand is indeed quite lethal.
For the Celtics, Perkins scored 14 points, Garnett 15, Rondo 15 points and 11 assists, Ray Allen scored a team-high 25 points, and Pierce scored just five points in the game, and he focused more on defending Anthony today.
After the game, it turned out that Pierce had a muscle strain on defense and needed to rest for a while, and in the last three games in February, Doug Rivers was not ready to let Pierce play, in fact, it was okay to play hard, but who called the Celtics not the Lakers.
The Lakers are missing Kobe Bryant, and their combat effectiveness has declined rapidly, while the Celtics rely more on the whole, and everyone is the same without it.
In the game with the Nuggets, Jiang Yang had 17 points and 6 assists, which was a good game, but the Celtics still lost the game in the end.
Although they lost the game, Celtic did not complain about the loss, and after a day of rest, they returned to their home stadium.
Here they will play the remaining three games of the month, and before you know it, Jiang Yang has been in the NBA for almost four months.
And the increase in his ball skills is really a bit surprising, and the increase is a bit fast!
Back at home, the challenge they faced in the first game was from the New York Knicks, who have become synonymous with bad teams in the league in recent years, even if their core David Lee participated in the All-Star this year, but that doesn't mean they have the ability to make the playoffs, and they are currently 13th in the East with 19 wins and 37 losses, which is a poor standing.
The only thing that caught the eye on the team was their new former superstar, Tracy McGrady.
There are also Nate Robinson and others, their first game is to face their old club, which is also the revenge battle that Americans have been preaching, so this game between the Celtics and the Knicks, although there is an obvious gap between the strength and weakness, but there are many people who watch, and the league also arranged this game at half past seven o'clock in the evening EST, broadcast live across the United States.
The starters on both sides are as follows, and on the Celtics side, because of Pierce's injury, Jiang Yang has been pushed to the position of small forward.
Jiang Yang is the best in this position, and now in the Celtics, if the inside line is missing, it must be Rashid Wallace, if the outside line is missing, it must be Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang's position in the team at this time has completely overshadowed Tony Allen and Marquis Daniels and others, Daniels was recovering from an injury a while ago, and it happened recently.
When he first came back, he was still unconvinced, because Jiang Yang, who had just entered the alliance, was still worse than himself.
But after he had a one-on-one fight with Jiang Yang, he admitted it! The current Jiang Yang, playing the starter, is definitely not an exaggeration!
What's even more terrifying is that Jiang Yang is still growing! This time as the starting small forward, he has no problem at all.
Because of this, the Celtics started as follows, center Kendrick Perkins, power forward Kevin Garnett, small forward Jiang Yang, shooting guard Ray Allen, point guard Rajon Rondo, and the Knicks started as follows.
Center David Lee, David Lee's level of this player is really good, although he is a little short in height, but he has enough strength, and he can shoot under the basket, if he finds more than 211, he may be really hot.
Forward Danilo Gallinas, Gallinas actually plays a lot of things, and his height of 208 cm allows him to play power forward too.
But if he wants to play power forward, his size and defensive ability are really poor, and basically his offense is mainly three-pointed! Fortunately, Dantony is a notoriously fast-break coach who doesn't care about his somewhat vague position.
Small forward Wilson Chandler, scoring guard Tracy McGrady, point guard Sergio Rodriguez.
A small point guard, two years older than Jiang Yang, but his reputation is not as big as Jiang Yang! The two sides can see clearly from the lineup, there is an obvious gap, not to mention that this is still the North Shore Garden Arena, so there are not too many people optimistic about him before the start of this game!
After the game started, the Celtics took the lead in attacking, and Perkins would lose almost anyone he jumped with, but David Lee! Hey hey ~ Perkins took the first step to slap the basketball into Rondo's hands, after Rondo got the ball, he hit the shot and scored the first two points of the game, and the Knicks were David Lee on the inside, of course, assisting him was Maddy, who was all familiar to us, and today Maddie was opposite Ray Allen, and his body no longer allowed him to make the action of the original scoring champion.
But his height and his passing ability are still there, and he is the absolute starting point for the Knicks Direes and others, who handed out 4 assists in the first 4:06 of the game, but the Knicks still trailed Kyle 11-16, and Maddy went off the court with 5 minutes and 33 seconds left in the quarter, with 4 assists and no points.
At this time, the Knicks trailed the Celtics by 8 points 13-21, Ray Allen became the main point of attack on the court, he scored 13 points in the first quarter, and Jiang Yang also contributed a 3-point plus 2 assists before the final end, at the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led the New York Knicks 38-27 11 points into the second quarter, Jiang Yang is now playing the main force.
Nate Robinson took Jiang Yang's current position in that game, Bill Walker and Nate Robinson both helped their new clubs score two points, and after Chandler hit a three-point shot, the game entered the first official timeout, at which time the Knicks recovered a point, trailing Kyle 36-46, after the timeout, Maddy returned to the court, and soon helped Nie Sorry to play an attack wave, Doug Rivers immediately replaced Jiang Yang and Ray Allen on the court, Jiang Yang hit a shot after coming on, helped the Celtics stabilize the score, and then Ray Allen stepped up and scored three points on the inside, helping the Celtics stabilize the temporary decline in the snow, and Maddie finally scored at this time, but the most angry performance was the Knicks' David Lee and the Celtics' Ray Allen, both of whom scored 16 points, Jiang Yang got 7 points and 4 assists in the half, and the Knicks entered the third quarter of the game with 8 points behind the Celtics 60-68!
Even without Pierce, the Celtics are still very strong, in the third quarter of the game, David Lee ran first and scored two points, and then Chandler's three points allowed Maddie to get the seventh assist of the game, and the Knicks chased the score close again 65-68, but at the critical moment, it was Jiang Yang again, Jiang Yang faced Wilson Chandler and directly pulled out three points, and pulled out his opponent in front of Maddy, which is a kind of enjoyment, at least Jiang Yang is very cool, and the basketball plunged into the basket with a spin, With Jiang Yang's play, the Celtics' lead has been maintained at more than five points, when Maddy went off the court, the Celtics led the Knicks 89-79 by ten points, and at the end of the third quarter, the Knicks were still 8 points behind the Celtics at 91-99, and entered the final deciding set, in the last quarter, although Harrington's three points helped the Knicks chase the score, but the Celtics were not easy to mess with, and they have maintained a lead of at least five points, And Maddie, who returned to the game, also played against Jiang Yang.
In the face of Jiang Yang, Maddie's helplessness, Jiang Yang will not give Maddie any face, with 27 seconds left in the game, the Celtics led the opponent by 3 points at 109-106, Maddie made a three-point shot at a critical moment, and was directly covered by Jiang Yang, and then Jiang Yang took the ball against Maddy's defense, and hit a layup directly, bringing the score back to five points, and the game was over.
In the end, the Kels won the game by five points at home with a 111-106 advantage, and the highest scorer in the game was David Lee, who scored the most 28 points and 15 rebounds, while Maddie only had 6 points and 8 rebounds, and the Celtics started five to score in double figures.
The most valuable player in this game is Ray Allen, who scored 24 points, and Ray Allen is getting hotter and hotter recently, and the team has always said that not selling Ray Allen during the All-Star break was the most correct choice they have ever made, Perkins let David Allen bully him badly today, only 12 points and 5 rebounds in the whole game, and Perkins is not particularly sensitive to the smell of rebounds.
Garnett showed his all-round side with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Rondo had 15 points and 16 assists, and the assists were higher than the scores, and Jiang Yang had 16 points, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 7 assists, which also made Jiang Yang's fans very pleased.
After playing the game against the Knicks, the Celtics are ready to play the next game against the Cavaliers.
The matchup with the Cavaliers can be said to have attracted the attention of almost all fans, and the current ranking in the league.
The Cavaliers are at the top of the standings with 44 wins and 14 losses. Ranked first in the East and the league, the Celtics are 41-14 in second place in the East, the Magic are 38-19 in third, and the Hawks are 35-20 in fourth, except for the Hawks after the season began to rush more fiercely, and now it has begun to fall again, the Raptors are 31-24 in fifth, and the Bulls are 29-27 in sixth.
The Heat are 29-29 and ranked seventh, while the Bucks are 27-28 and eighth, Salmons, who is particularly unpopular with both the Kings and the Bulls, has found a second spring in the Bucks, and his kind of singles model is very adaptable to the Bucks, with the relationship between victory and defeat, the Bobcats are also 27-28 in ninth, the 76ers are 22-34 in tenth, the Pistons are 21-35 in tenth, and the Wizards are 20-34 in twelfth. The Knicks are 13th with 19 wins and 37 losses, the Pacers are 14th with 19 wins and 37 losses, and the Nets are at the bottom of the league with 5 wins and 52 losses.
The Nuggets are 2nd in the West with 37-19, the Jazz are 36-20 and 36-20 are in third in the West, the Mavericks are 36-21 in fourth, the Suns are 35-23 in fifth, the Thunder are 33-22 in sixth, the Spurs are 31-23 in seventh, and the Trail Blazers are 33-26 in eighth.
The Bees are 30-27 in ninth, the Rockets are 28-27 in tenth, and the hope of the playoffs is currently only in theory, the Grizzlies are 28-28 and have a record of fifty percent, but in the highly competitive West, such a record can only be ranked eleventh, the Clippers are 23-33 and are in twelfth, the Kings are 18-39 and thirteenth, and the Warriors have suffered a major injury this year, only 16-40 and 14 are in 14th place, and the Timberwolves are 14-44 and 15th.
Originally, the Timberwolves were ready to play bad from the beginning of the season, and they went straight to the top team, but they didn't expect that a Nets came out halfway, and they didn't win a game since the beginning of the season...... For this style of play, the Timberwolves said that they were under a lot of pressure and couldn't afford to lose face, so they had to give up.
And as Jiang Yang is getting stronger and stronger, and Jiang Yang's reputation in China is getting bigger and bigger, Zhou Lu has received a lot of sponsors, wanting Jiang Yang to help sell things, and some TV stations want to ask Jiang Yang to do talk shows.
However, now Jiang Yang refuses because he is too busy in the season, and if he wants to have an impact in China in the future, it is estimated that Jiang Yang will also return to China to be on the show, but now he is more focused on the United States, after all, he is the real Jiang Yang in the NBA.
However, Jiang Yang doesn't want to be in the limelight, but it doesn't mean that other people think the same way, many film crews in China have come to Boston to interview this year's super rookie Jiang Yang, after all, Jiang Yang is now the pride of the Chinese people.
The name of Asia's No. 1 guard is getting louder and louder, and according to Director Zhang's words, Jiang Yang has no problem becoming a starter in other teams now, and his height allows him to play point guard, which will be very advantageous.
The speed is not slow, the strength is not bad, everything in Jiang Yang looks so perfect, he doesn't look like a yellow person at all.
In line with the idea of not being able to shoot Jiang Yang, but shooting Celtics, the domestic media really don't pay attention to Jiang Yang.
Fortunately, the team's protective measures for Jiang Yang are very in place, and now they don't know where Jiang Yang's family is, and the news of Jiang Yang living with three beauties has not been transmitted back to China, otherwise it is estimated that the country will be violent again.
At least Jiang Yang may lack the liking of the vast majority of lesbians, and as for male fans, those perverts are estimated to increase.
People who couldn't find the location of Jiang Yang's house could only focus on the Celtics' North Shore Garden Arena, outside the North Shore Garden Arena, inside the squatting media personnel, there were a lot of yellow-skinned people unconsciously.
However, at this time, Jiang Yang had no leisure to be interviewed, and the schedule that he had forgotten too much made him focus more on basketball!
"Hi Jiang, hello! My name is Nate! "Jiang Yang also came to the stadium today as usual, after all, he will face the challenge of the Cavaliers tomorrow, and Pierce can't play yet, so these players are very anxious in their hearts.
Today, in addition to the team training at the beginning, the other training is according to the level of their own training, now Jiang Yang is training two, one is offense, the other is passing, because of the relationship between physical fitness and jumping two levels, so now Jiang Yang's physical fitness belongs to the state of laying the foundation, and it is impossible to make great progress in training, so Jiang Yang has set his sights on offense and defense! Footsteps, air stagnation and passing, these three genera need to cooperate with others in addition to staying in the air.
Playing all the time, Jiang Yang's physical strength is unbearable, and his footsteps and passing can only increase his experience in the game.
And if you are in the air, then you need to jump all the time, so if it is in the summer, it is fine, there is no competition, and now it is in the competition.
If Jiang Yang keeps jumping, his ankle will definitely be injured, and the physical consumption is too great, so Jiang Yang has given up these three castes, as for dribbling, it is much simpler, the dribble will increase faster in the game, and the dribble will also increase experience in normal times, so this dribbling is a surname that increases all the time, and Jiang Yang doesn't have to worry too much.
The only thing that needs to be practiced is offense and defense, offense represents Jiang Yang's highest achievement in the team, and defense represents Jiang Yang's attitude, Jiang Yang is not the kind of player who is set to be a new star as soon as he enters the league, he has come up to the present with his own real defense step by step, so now he has become the team's replacement for Pierce as the team's starting small forward, others didn't say anything, after all, his training volume is in everyone's eyes, even today, Doug Rivers deliberately slowed down the amount of training.
Jiang Yang's shooting was still continuing, and when Jiang Yang was practicing shooting there, a voice sounded from behind Jiang Yang, and when he looked back, he saw a very strong little man, standing behind him and smiling at himself.
"Hi there, I know you, Nate! Slam Dunk King! I was there at the time. Jiang Yang looked at Nate Robinson, although he said that he would inadvertently think of Eddie House, but after all, the trade has already been traded, and this can't be blamed on Nate Robinson.
So Jiang Yang's attitude towards Nate is still relatively good, in fact, this is not the first time the two have met, they have already met the day before yesterday, but the day before yesterday they just said hello, after returning from Denver, Jiang Yang and they immediately went back to rest.
Just said a word to Nate Robinson in the arena and then flashed, and the next day was the game against the Knicks.
