Chapter 184: All hands are in order
When Jiang Yang still didn't have a good idea of what to do with the rookie wall, the Celtics had already ushered in their opponents for their next game! Before this game, Garnett returned from injury and returned to the court, and has recovered to the strongest point.
In such a situation, it is natural that the starting lineup will be adjusted, center Patrick Perkins, power forward Kevin Garnett, small forward Paul Pearce, scoring guard Ray Allen, point guard Rajon Rondo, squeezed the rest of the players to the bench, the current Celtics bench second lineup can be described as quite luxurious, center Rasheed Wallace, power forward Glenn Davis, small forward Jiang Yang, scoring guard Tony Allen, point guard Eddie House.
If Rasheed Wallace is in peak form, it's pretty much the same as any other team's main lineup!
In this game, the Celtics still have a very psychological advantage, after all, here, they have won five consecutive games against the Trail Blazers, and they are confident that this sixth game will not let the Trail Blazers move the game to their side, not to mention the core of their team, Brandon Roy is now injured and has no way to play, the team doctor of the Trail Blazers is indeed very vegetable!
At the beginning of the game, Rondo assisted his teammates to score three consecutive layups, and Miller, the point guard of the Trail Blazers, who was tied for the best non-All-Star point guard with Mike Bibby, missed three consecutive shots, and then the Trail Blazers hit an 11-2 attack wave to take a five-point lead.
After the substitute players came on the court, Jiang Yang and others were still very sharp, although Jiang Yang had not crossed the rookie wall, but he had found the feeling of integrating his body into the team, the rookie wall was not something that could be passed.
However, with a physical advantage, Jiang Yang's shooting and passing are slowly regaining the feeling, in the first quarter of the game, Jiang Yang got 4 points plus 1 assist, and the Green Shirts also led the Trail Blazers 30-25 with the wonderful performance of the bench into the second quarter, at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Jiang Yang assisted Eddie House to hit a three-point shot, taking over the prelude to the Green Shirts' offense, but at the critical moment, Bayless scored six points in a row like a divine help, narrowing the score, but two fists are hard to beat four hands, Rasheed Wallace hit four consecutive shots and scored eight points in a row, while Jiang Yang also hit a three-point shot, and the Celtics' lead quickly expanded to double digits. Even after the main team came on the court, they played a sluggish game, but at the end of the first half, the Celtics still led the opponent 60-50 ten points into the second half.
In the second half, the two sides were still inseparable, Fernandes' long-range three-point shot once allowed the Trail Blazers to narrow the score to only four points, but the all-military Celtics withstood the pressure, and after three quarters, the Celtics continued to lead the opponent by nine points at 78-69, and with 8 minutes and 19 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Miller made a layup to help the Trail Blazers chase the score by only two points.
Directly extended the score to eight points, the Trail Blazers fought back, a strong 10-2 counterattack to make the opponent 91-91 in the final 34 seconds, Pierce missed the jumper, but Rondo grabbed the offensive rebound and got the last chance to attack.
After the timeout, Rondo passed the ball to Pierce, who was fouled by Miller on a layup, and after hitting two free throws, he led the opponent 93-91, and the opponent missed a three-point shot to fail to beat the Celtics, and finally the Celtics won the game 93-91.
Jiang Yang only scored 9 points and 3 assists in the whole game today, and his performance was not very good, of course, this is also related to the compression of his playing time, but more people have also noticed that Jiang Yang may have touched the rookie wall.
The media from the outside world has paid considerable attention to Jiang Yang, and based on Jiang Yang's performance in these games, it is not as good as one game.
The media from the outside world also reported about Jiang Yang's encounter with the rookie wall for the first few games, Jiang Yang's performance in the first few games was indeed very strong, with an average of almost 20+10 per game, making him the most powerful existence among the rookies, but in the last few games, Jiang Yang's performance was not very good, and he didn't score a double in this game, which was really a bit surprising.
Many netizens have left messages on the Internet, hoping that Jiang Yang can quickly cross the rookie wall and play amazing data.
Such netizens account for the vast majority, and most of the information comes from Chinese mainland, of course, there is honey and black.
Jiang Yang's Jiang Hei also took advantage of Jiang Yang's recent poor hand, and jumped up vigorously, and now Jiang Hei's three, who are already very famous on domestic forums, Canghai Mingyue, You Long Xifeng and Da Le Dou, are among the arrogant.
According to You Long Xifeng, Jiang Yang's own level is like this, he used to play beautifully, but it was completely false fire!
Of course, his remarks were directly ignored by others, and those who can play 20+10 in the NBA, can you bear your hypocrisy, you can take a look! There is always no shortage of such existence in this world, and of course, Jiang Yang just laughed at them.
Now he knows his situation, and what he needs most is to let his spirit rest, take a break from his busyness, and relax.
After Pierce's mention, Jiang Yang's body has been fully rested, and the physical strength that was overdrawn a while ago is slowly recovering, because Jiang Yang's physical fitness is Pierce's immortal bird, so Jiang Yang's recovery is also very amazing, in three days, Jiang Yang has almost recovered, and the next game is to play the Clippers at home.
Jiang Yang didn't need to be too tired, so he had plenty of time to adjust his condition for the next matches.
However, Jiang Yang is slowly adjusting, but some people don't want to make him feel at ease to adjust his state!
"I think we're already very sincere! Carlos Arroyo is replaced, and I don't think you will suffer either! In Danny Ainge's office, two people are sitting there talking, one is none other than the current general manager of the Celtics, Danny Ainge, and the other person, Jiang Yang They may not be very clear, looking at listening to his conversation and the players mentioned, it is not difficult to guess that this guy should be from the Miami Heat, and now at this time, the person from the Heat appears in the office of the general manager of the Celtics, in addition to negotiating a deal, it is difficult to imagine other possible surnames.
"Jiang's level is quite good, when he is in good shape, he can play 20+10 data, do you think I will let one Carlos Arroyo go? Don't be funny! Danny Angie fiddled with the pen in his hand and looked at the person in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Okay, Arroyo, you're not satisfied? And what about Quentin Richardson? His contract this year, 2.25 million, is as much as the annual salary of nearly seven Jiang Yang! Seeing Danny Angie's appearance, the man in the suit opposite couldn't help but hesitate and reported another trading target, but after listening to the man in the suit, Danny Angie just smiled, and then slowly leaned back in his boss chair.
"I don't think you're sincere! Now there are many teams in the league that want to trade Jiang Yang...... Go back and tell Pat Riley that if he really wants to take Jiang Yang away, he must give our team enough sincerity! "Danny Angie looks at the person in front of him, Danny Angie is a player, but now he is a manager, a businessman!
According to Jiang Yang's current situation, it is estimated that he must have refused to sign the four-year contract with him, in this case, he must not be left behind, of course, not to suppress him, the Celtics, after all, are the old powerhouses in the league, and he has their dignity.
They will never suppress the other party because the other party does not sign a contract, of course, if it is because of the money given, but the other party still wants to make unreasonable demands, then it will be counted, but now he knows that Jiang Yang's money next season will definitely be more than four million, and he still makes such a low offer, he is also a little unhappy in his heart! But as a manager, he has to maximize the interests of the players, since Jiang Yang refuses to sign this contract, he can only sell Jiang Yang while he still has use value!
Originally, when Jiang Yang played well, Danny Angie was not in the mood, because Jiang Yang's existence was likely to help the Celtics win the championship, so he always hoped that Jiang Yang would finish this season, but now he looks at Jiang Yang's situation.
Something is not quite right, he hit the rookie wall, he can't be sure that Jiang Yang can cross it safely, what if he is like his Chinese countryman Yi, who is strong at the beginning, and starts to wilt after hitting the rookie wall?
So Danny Anji wanted to sell Jiang Yang while he still had use value, but now it seems that there are indeed many people with such thoughts, when Danny Anji revealed the news that he was going to trade Jiang Yang.
Now a total of five teams have made offers to Danny Ainge, and the Heat just now is one, and the Heat are ready to exchange Carlos Arroyo or Quentin Richardson for Jiang Yang, so that when the time comes, the Heat's weakest No. 1 position will be strengthened.
In case Jiang Yang crosses the rookie wall, the starting point guard Jiang Yang, the starting point guard Wade, and the inside O'Neal Jr. and Beasley, such a lineup will not be impossible to impact the championship! Of course, it's useless to say that now.
The other four are the Wizards who have been found out recently in a gun case, and the Wizards are really lacking point guards at present!
There is also the Grizzlies and Rockets in the West, and the Grizzlies' Conley is more balanced, but it is still a little worse than Jiang Yangyi.
The Rocket team is completely interested in the market behind Jiang Yang, a Yao name makes Alexander make a lot of money, if he adds another Jiang Yang, then he will make a lot of money! But the 'sincerity' given by Morey made Danny Angie simply ignore them.
exchanging Jermaine Taylor for Jiang Yang is a loss to what they want to do...... Danny Angie has officially rejected the other party.
The last one is also the one that Danny Ainge feels the most unlikely to change, that is the Lakers, the chips given by the Lakers can be described as quite rich, Derrick Fisher, Jordan Famar, Shannon Brown, Sasha Vujacic, Luke Wharton, pick two packs, and exchange Jiang Yang alone! If this was the proposal of other teams, it is estimated that Danny Ainge would have changed a long time ago.
But who is the Lakers, the Celtics and the Lakers are feuding, which fans all over the world know, so he would rather leave Jiang Yang in the team to grow hair, and will never change Jiang Yang to the Lakers to get even one point!
If he doesn't do this, it is estimated that his position as general manager will be over! And the glass of his house will definitely be smashed n times.
"Hey, I really don't know what to do!" Sending off the representative of the Hot Team, Danny Angie rubbed his temples helplessly, this Jiang Yang's problem has always been bothering him, he actually doesn't want to trade Jiang Yang, but the team needs it!
While Danny Ainge was hesitating, the Celtics were playing their next game at home, against another team in Los Angeles, the Clippers! After these days of recuperation, Jiang Yang has slowly found his senses.
Although I am still a little tired mentally, I am almost getting better physically! After the opening of the game, Piller was in an unusually brave state, and won the first six points of the ball stage twice in a row, but the lack of stamina of the Celtics was difficult to open the gap with the Remembrance Fleet, because the defensive end was too ruthless, the consumption was too serious, the shooting percentage of both teams was very bad, and at 1 minute and 13 seconds in the first quarter of the game, Ricky Davis scored five points outside the line to help the Clippers lead the Celtics 19-17, and the Celtics side, Jiang Yang, who feels in good shape today, He hit a three-pointer in the last 3 seconds to help the Celtics take a one-point lead at 20-19 in the first quarter and enter the second quarter! At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Rassell Butler led the Clippers to a wave of 7-0 small **, but then Ray Allen hit consecutive three-point shots from the outside to help the Celtics narrow the gap, Jiang Yang also broke through the inside line and dunked his hand, and then assisted Garnett, Garnett made a layup, and scored four points in a row on a jumper! At the end of the quarter, Rondo came on the court to put the Celtics in the lead, but at the end of the first half, Carman's jumper allowed the visitors to tie the score at 44-44, although this score looked really unlucky to Jiang Yang...... At the start of the second half, Perkins began to exert his power! The tonnage of this big fat man on the inside line is quite powerful, and he hit a jump shot under the basket, and the Big Three also followed under Rondo's strings, and the Kelle Tics played a 15-6 offensive ** and took a 9-point lead, and then Al Thornton chased four points in a row, but Jiang Yang came out again at this time.
Jiang Yang, who scored five points today, rushed into the inside, causing Kaman to foul and dunk while also using his air skills.
After a 2+1 attack, the Celtics firmly grasped the lead, and at the end of the third quarter, the Celtics led the Clippers by five points at 64-59 into the final deciding set! After entering the decisive quarter, the substitutes began to go berserk!
Jiang Yang, Rasheed Wallace, and Tony Allen made consecutive layups, which quickly allowed the Celtics to extend their lead to 11 points! And Jiang Yang also hit three points on the outside again, at this time Jiang Yang had scored 13 points, when Jiang Yang was replaced, the Celtics had already taken a 15-point lead on the court, although then the Clippers chased back some scores, but the difference was too big, and in the end they could only hate the away game, losing the game with a gap of 89-102, 13 points.
In this game, the Clippers scored a total of six double-doubles, which can be said to be more blossoming, Carman 10 points and 9 rebounds, Camby 3 points and 14 rebounds, Rassell Butler 17 points, Byron Davis 16 points, Al Thorton 12 people, Craig Smith 12 points, Ricky Davis 12 points, but their luck was too bad! On the Celtics' side, only five players scored in double figures.
Pierce scored a game-high 22 points, Garnett 17 but only grabbed 2 rebounds, Rondo 16 points, 12 assists and grabbed 7 rebounds, worthy of the outside world saying that Rondo is the one who is most like Kidd's successor, this guy also has to develop according to the all-around three-pointer!
Ray Allen 15 points, Perkins 9 points and 15 assists, Jiang Yang scored a double-double again today, got 13 points plus 4 assists, it can be seen from the assists, Jiang Yang is still a little out of touch with the team, he can get at least 7 assists per game, and now the average number of assists per game is declining rapidly, but on the offensive end, Jiang Yang has been getting better and better!
Jiang Yang's performance, in the eyes of Pierce and their old fritters, is actually quite happy in his heart, it seems that Jiang Yang will not be able to step over the rookie wall in a short time, and then the invincible Jiang Yang who is on the bench will appear on the basketball court again.
It's just that now they don't know, in fact, the team is already playing Jiang Yang's idea, and Danny Angie has no way to ensure that Jiang Yang has excellent performance after crossing the rookie wall, so he can only sell Jiang Yang in advance.
What is called player maximization, this is it! Danny Angie was a player before, but now he's a businessman!
But now Jiang Yang doesn't know all this, at this time he has flown to Orlando with the team, and there are three games left in the next month, including a back-to-back, first away against the Magic, and then away against the Hawks, this is all the hard ballast in the East, although now the Celtics have a complete lineup, but they don't dare to easily say that they can win each other.
After all, the gap between these three teams is not very big, and they don't want to be ended like this with the two consecutive wins that they finally got their hands on.
With a neat line, everyone flew to Orlando to prepare for the game against the Magic!
