Cleveland, located on the south shore of Lake Erie, is not far from the Erie Seahawks that Jiang Yang wanted to participate in.

It's just that Cleveland is much bigger than Erie...... Almost all fans say Cleveland is a small city.

But for Jiang Yang, Cleveland is not small at all, of course, it is not as populous and extensive as New York, but Cleveland is also the capital of a state after all, and it is the 33rd largest city in the United States in the population spectrum in the 20000 years, and the recent ranking has dropped to 36 points, but he is indeed the 23rd metropolitan area in the United States.

It may not be comparable to Chicago, Miami, New York, Los Angeles or anything, but it is not a small city in everyone's impression.

In fact, in the United States, cities that can be called capitals are not small, and small is also relatively small.

At least in Jiangyang, it seems that Cleveland is definitely bigger than Harbin~ Of course, this does not refer to the area of land, nor the population.

If you count the population, India would be the largest country in the world...... The big thing I mean here is the degree of prosperity.

Because it was not a continuous game, Jiang Yang and their Pacers who finished playing on the 12th, and Cleveland who came by plane on the morning of the 13th.

So Jiang Yang and they have an afternoon to walk around, and nearby Yili is naturally a place that Jiang Yang must go.

After all, when I first came to the United States, my first stop was here, and I still have a lot of feelings for Yili Jiangyang.

And the manager on the other side, who is interested in men, is also very happy to see Jiang Yang come back, although Jiang Yang has not become a member of the Cavaliers or the Raptors, but with Jiang Yang's achievements now, he is still very pleased.

After all, he walked out from himself, and he has already had some reputation recently, after all, it was he who discovered Jiang Yang!

And he also recommended Jiang Yang to the Knights, but the Knights did not choose Jiang Yang under LeBron's control.

"I really didn't expect you to be so powerful now!" Looking at Jiang Yang, who was a head taller than himself, the general manager of the Yili Seahawks couldn't help but say with emotion, this young man was just a black man at the beginning, but now he has become one of the hottest rookies in the United States, some people say that his value will not be worse than James in a few years, and he will definitely be the next Chinese Yao.

"If you had gone to the Cavaliers or the Raptors, maybe I would have been able to get into the top of those two teams!" The general manager smiled and patted Jiang Yang's shoulder, the Erie-Seahawks belong to the Raptors and Cavaliers, and generally recommend good players to the home team, and the general managers of the NBDL teams are meritorious, if this player becomes the core, say it, maybe the manager who promoted himself will be promoted to the NBA team, of course, this is just talking.

The current Jiang Yang is the super sixth man of the Celtics, even if there is Rasheed Wallace, the roaring Tianzun, even if there is the number one dunk king in the league now, Nate Robinson, he Jiang Yang, or the sixth man of the Celtics, this is very clear from the meaning of the players in the team or the meaning of the outside fans.

After renewing the old relationship with the players of the Erie Sea Hawks, Jiang Yang returned to the hotel and prepared to rest.

Recently, he has been thinking about his physical problems, and Jiang Yang has not triggered the copy recently, so basically all the genera have not changed much, offensive ability A, air A-, foot A-, dribble A-, defense A, passing A, physical fitness A+, and now Jiang Yang has no obvious feeling except for feeling that he is going to break through with dribbling and layups.

In the past, Jiang Yang always believed that it was better for him to develop in an all-round way, so that he might be able to reach the highest point together.

But at the beginning, he had always played as a substitute, and if his body was too good, there were a few who played as a substitute!

Even if it's a good body, there are substitutes, such as Shannon Brown, but they won't be without a solution, so Jiang Yang still coped with it at the beginning, but as he became more and more powerful, he became more and more important in the league, plus in the second half of the season, the veterans of the Celtics were more and more likely to be suspended or injured, and after putting Jiang Yang in the position of the main force, he was finished!

Facing Rudy Gaiyi, who surrendered, and James, who rushed over, Jiang Yangxian had no way at all.

Jiang Yang's current surname is based on the level of semi-first-class players, but it is still far from the stars, and the stars are probably divided into superstars in Jiang Yang's impression, just like James, Kobe, Wade, Anthony, one person can ruin a team, a game! These people are super stars, the strongest wave of people in the league, with an average annual salary of 20 million top salaries, of course, there will be some people who belong to high-paid and incompetent people, such as Bosh.

And the second level is the stars, like Rudy Gaione, Randolph, Brandon Roy, Monta Ellis, Danny Granger, etc., these superleaders of the younger generation in the league, although they can't ruin a team alone, but they can control a team and a game! They are indispensable to the team's victory! The annual salary of these people is basically about 15 million a year, that is, they generally sign a contract of 80 million or 70 million for 5 years.

Then there are first-class stars, like the Rockets' Scola, the Raptors' Banyani, and the Magic's Jamil Nelson, they can't control a team, and they can't control a game, but they are the cornerstone of the team's offense or defense, although they are not as dazzling as stars and superstars, but they are also very important, with an annual salary of about 10 million.

Then there are the second-rate stars, which is the so-called middle-class contract, of course, it is not a middle-class exception, and the middle-class exception that everyone knows is a first-class star who is signed at the price of a first-class star, but it is a luxury tax paid by the middle class. It basically belongs to Tony Allen, Blake after the Trail Blazers traded, and Fisher are players of their kind who are now second-rate players.

Further down, the substitute in the pure substitute is a third-rate star, generally speaking, they all sign a basic salary, just like Jiang Yang's teammate Jr Giddens was at this level, and then go down, it is the basic salary of the trial contract...... It's like Jiang Yang, $330,000 for a year, of course, it can't be counted like that now, now let Jiang Yang sign a contract of $330,000 for a year, unless he really becomes a fool with no heart, with Jiang Yang's current level, he is basically in the middle of second-rate and first-class existence.

You let him play second-rate, it's like dealing with Tony Allen, Old Fish Fisher, Luke Ridno and them, Jiang Yang can abuse them completely! Everything has a great advantage, even if he encounters a first-class star, he can at least maintain mutual violence, such as encountering Evans, Jennings, two rookies, or like Baron Davis, Westbrook, Harris, etc., although he can't completely beat each other, but he is basically in a state of mutual violence.

But as soon as he meets a star who surpasses him too much (at least one S- or higher), or a superstar or something, he's finished! will always be used by the other party to his advantage, and he will not have any face at all, Jiang Yang is not a person who is willing to be abused.

Since God let him have a bug, if he can't rely on this bug to stand at the top of the basketball world, then he will live in vain, so Jiang Yang has never considered the future problems before, as long as he is alive in the future, he must be very powerful, anyone in the history of the super NBA, even now he believes so much, the only thing he doesn't dare to believe in is his present, because the current self is too weak, and the weak being bullied can't even fight back.

"Body, defense, offense ......" Looking at these three surnames, Jiang Yang began to hesitate, these three surnames are the three iron laws of the NBA summarized by Jiang Yang, the body is the starting point of everything, this must be prioritized, and defense and offense are two extremes, defense can better help Jiang Yang now, let him get more playing time in the team, so that the physical quality grows faster, and offense can allow Jiang Yang to participate more in the offense on the court, so that he can officially enter the audience's sight!

"Hey...... It's so troublesome...... It's so troublesome......" Jiang Yang looked at the data in front of him, couldn't help but sigh, didn't think much about it, covered his head with the quilt, and fell asleep, everything was prepared for tomorrow's game.

'We're going to win, I really think so, I think we're going to play a game away from home!' This is what Doug Rivers said when there are 12 hours left in the game with the Cavaliers, at this time the Celtics are 48-15 and ranked second in the East, and the league is also second, only below the Cavaliers, and the current rankings in the league are as follows, the first in the East is the Cavaliers 51-15, the second is the Celtics 48-15, the third is the Magic 47-20, the fourth is the Hawks 42-23, and the fifth is the Bucks, who have won 10 of the last twelve games. They only lost to the Celtics and Hawks, 35-29 in fifth place, sixth in the Bobcats, 33-31, seventh in the Heat, 34-32, eighth in the Raptors, the Raptors since the All-Star break, the results have been falling all the time, and now the remaining 5 have become 32-32, and the ninth Bulls have fallen even harder, recently they have lost seven in a row, center Big Mouth, Joakim Noah, small forward Rohr Deng and their core, Derrick Rose has been injured recently, and it is reasonable to fall to ninth! The rest of the teams are basically fighting for eight, so I won't introduce them one by one.

The West is more stalemate, the first is the Lakers, 48-18, but the second Nuggets are only 45-21 behind the opponent by three games, and they may catch up at any time, and the third Mavericks are also 45-22, a difference of three and a half wins, the sixth Toshi is 42-23, the fifth Thunder is 40-24, the sixth Spurs is 39-25, the seventh Suns are 40-26, the eighth Trail Blazers is 40-28, the ninth Gray is 35-32, and the tenth Fire is 33-31, Basically, the current Rockets are only theoretically left with the possibility of becoming a playoff team, and there are indeed a lot of differences in wins.

The battle for the first and second in the East, but also the first and second battle in the league, although the two teams won a lot, but the gap did not open, this game still attracted the attention of a large number of spectators, before the start of this game, the Magic just won the Wizards, achieved the first eight consecutive wins since 06 years, the momentum of chasing points is particularly fierce, it seems that this year's Magic is also bluffing!

The morale of the Green Shirts has not been very high lately, and in the first two days of the game against the Cavaliers, the Celtics won against the Pacers, but that wasn't enough to excite them, because they won the second-best team in the East, because they lost to the Grizzlies, and in that game, even North Shore Garden, their home court, erupted in boos, so the current Green Shirts need a chance.

An opportunity to win, before these old fritters are worn out by the regular season and almost have no desire to win, regroup, boost morale, and the game against the Cavaliers is the best opportunity, and at the same time, this opportunity is also very bad...... If you win, everything is easy to say, maybe the Big Three also broke out into a powerful battle**, and the next game is not easy to say!

But what if you lose...... That's really going to be a bad dish...... The outside world is not optimistic about the Green Shirts in this battle.

The Cavaliers reached the Finals a year ago and sharpened a sword, but the sword was taken away by the Spurs in the end.

won the first place in the league last year, but was killed by the Magic team in the semifinals, and lost face...... This year, in order to deal with the Magic, they deliberately brought in O'Neal, strengthened the interior line, and also strengthened the height of the outside line.

In order to be ashamed, this year, the Cavaliers are the team with the highest call to win the championship, and the Celtics are not their opponents in terms of momentum, the Cavaliers are at least now unbeatable in the rankings, and it is not easy for the Celtics to catch up with the Cavaliers.

In the first two legs, the Celtics and Cavaliers each won on the road, but neither of these games could make the difference in strength between the two teams.

In the first round, the Cavaliers at that time did not have Jamison, and in the second round, Pierce was out again due to injury, and Jiang Yang was beaten into a sieve by James.

So it's hard to predict the game with the record of the first two rounds between the two teams, this game Celtics have a more neat lineup, the Big Three are all on the field, Nate Robinson, Finley, who has just joined, and Jiang Yang, who has recently been hot, have all run in with the team to have a tacit understanding, and the Cavaliers are missing O'Neal, who has a thumb injury, but this may be a way for the Celtics to find a way to deal with it. The best chance for the Knights without the Sharks, you must know that with O'Neal, the Celtics only won by six points against the Cavaliers, and without O'Neal, the Celtics were beaten into a sieve...... Of course, this is just a joke, and Ao Fat is still more deterrent in the inside line.

On March 14, 2010 Eastern time, March 15, 2010 Yenjing time, the third game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers, at the home of the Cavaliers, the Quick Loan Center in Cleveland officially began! The lineup on the Celtic side has not changed.

And the Cavaliers' lineup, because of the lack of O'Neal, has made some fine-tuning, the current O'Neal is more like a nuclear bomb, just playing a deterrent role in guarding the inner three, and his lethality is getting smaller and smaller for the current NBA.

Today's Cavaliers starter is center J.J. Hickson, who is also the future interior representative of the Cavaliers.

I heard that the Cavaliers intended to trade him for Stoudemire with the Suns, but as Xiao Si got better and better, the Suns didn't change again.

The big forward is Antoine Jamison, who has been integrated into the team, this veteran has been playing very hard recently, obviously changed to the Cavaliers, a team that may win the championship, he is very excited, no one wants to play a championship for a lifetime, this year is the most favorable year for them to hit the championship! So Jamison is very satisfied with his current life.

Small forward LeBron James, this one doesn't need to be introduced too much, everyone is very familiar with it.

Shooting guard Anthony Parker, who came to the Cavaliers and became a defensive gate on the outside of the Cavaliers.

Point guard Mo Williams, little Mo does not need to be introduced, everyone is very familiar, in the cheers of the home fans, the game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers officially began! This match is slightly different from the previous one.

In the last game, James didn't expose too much offense at the beginning, but after all, he scored 36 points and directly knocked down the Celtics, but this year, James's offense doesn't seem to be very strong! The first quarter begins.

After J.J. Hickson jumped the ball to Mo, James directly assisted Jamison for a layup.

However, Garnett, who was beaten by Jamison, also returned one later, made a foul on the opponent, and drew on both sides with two free throws.

Then Rondo broke through Williams and hit a layup, Xiao Mo is just like Jennings, although he hangs the brand of a first-class star, but his body is definitely his biggest weakness, not only Rondo can play, but also after Jiang Yang comes up after a while.

Then JJ Hickson scored four straight points with free throws to turn the score around, and the Cavaliers led the Celtics at 6-4.

And James's offensive rebound was followed by an assist to Jamison's pass, and the latter's three-point shot directly stopped the Celtics.

After the timeout, the Celtics began to chase points, Ray Allen received a pass from Pierce and hit a layup, Garnett received a pass from Perkins and hit a layup, optimistic that Garnett hit a jump shot with the assist of Ray Allen and Pierce, and when there were 5 minutes and 57 seconds left in the first quarter, the score became 12-9, but fortunately, Anthony Parker of the key Cavaliers hit a three-point shot, and the score became 12-12, and then J.J. Hickson scored four points in a row, and Perkins also returned four points in a row.

When the two dozen were about to end with 3 minutes and 45 seconds left in the game, the battle was tied 16-16! Then grinded the foreign work, and replaced the substitute players on both sides, Jiang Yang replaced Rondo, Rasheed Wallace replaced Garnett, Glenn Davis replaced Perkins, the other party also replaced J Hickson with Vallejo, and replaced Xiao Mo with West, and the bench time on both sides officially began!
