At eight o'clock in the evening on December 3, the game between the Spurs and the Celtics officially began, and Jiang Yang couldn't help but laugh at the Spurs players who were still his teammates yesterday, but became his enemy today.

After having this copy, Jiang Yang really knows everyone in the league and every team.

But yesterday it was just a copy, but today, this is a reality, and Jiang Yang will not talk about the feelings of 'teammates'.

Recently, the league has implemented the era of giants, and the Spurs, which were originally known as having the GDP combination of the Big Three, also introduced a lot of strong reinforcements this summer, such as Richard Jefferson, an all-around small forward who once formed the Big Three in the Nets, and a backup center who once competed with the Pistons and the Spurs, Antonio McDyes, who was in the Bucks last year and ran to the Spurs this year, replaced Bowen on the outside to defend Keith Bogans, and the rookie they have focused on cultivating in recent years, George Hill, Plus today's rookie, DeJuan Blair, who is known as a basketball super-smeller.

Now the Spurs can't be smeared to look like an absolute strong horse, to defend and defend, to attack and attack, to have big names and big names, although the current Spurs record is not very good, only 9 wins and 7 losses, but this is only because they have not finished running in, as long as the Spurs run in successfully, the strength of such a team will be very terrible! For example, Bruce Bowen and Robert Horry, who Jiang Yang was familiar with before, have retired this season, so Jiang Yang really doesn't have anything too worried about the Spurs.

The starting lineups on both sides today, the Celtics have not changed at all, and Doug Rivers is like that.

He could give the benches more playing time, but he would never give the benches a starting spot.

As for the Spurs, there have been some changes to the lineup, with Antonio McDyce at center, Tim Duncan at power forward, Richard Jefferson at small forward, Keith Bogans at shooting guard, and Tony Parker at point guard.

Ever since the Spurs won the championship in '07, Parker's reputation and salary have been on top of Ginobili.

Although Ginobili is still very sharp on the offensive end, he has been squeezed out of the starting lineup by Po Povich.

Now Ginobili is playing more of a sixth man role, and against a Spurs team that obviously didn't have a run-in, the Celtics didn't give them a chance, and as the game started, players on both sides jumped at the same time.

It was Duncan and Perkins who were scrambling for the jump ball, and Perkins' bounce was indeed ...... Ay...... It's a bit unreasonable.

The basketball was directly photographed by Duncan, picked up by Tony Parker, and then directly handed to Richard Jefferson, who made a mid-range shot and outrageously did not score...... After Perkins grabbed the rebound, he handed it to Rondo, and the Celtics threw a three-pointer from Ray Allen, but unfortunately it didn't go in, and it wasn't until a minute into the game that Duncan scored the ball...... But after that, the Celtics didn't give the Spurs, who are still very rusty with the current cooperation, any chance, Rondo first hit the equalizer, and then Pierce hit a three-point shot on the outside, Ray Allen also rushed to the inside, deceived Anthony McDace's foul, hit a three-point success, the visitors played a wave of 12-2 attack, leading the opponent by 8 points in the opening game, in the second half of the game, Duncan hit two consecutive shots, scored four points in a row, but Kyle inserted people on the side with the excellent play of the benches, Wallace hit three points successfully, Daniels scored two points on a basket.

At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led the opponent 25-15 and entered the second quarter, and the second quarter of the game was also the playing time of the substitutes.

After Jiang Yang came on the court, the team's dominance was gently tilted towards Jiang Yang by Doug Rivers.

Now Jiang Yang is indeed very strong, which Doug Rivers does not deny, especially after watching Jiang Yang's three-point performance today, he is even more sure that Jiang Yang's level does have a long offense, so there is nothing to let Jiang Yang play at this time, Jiang Yang just came on the court, and instigated an attack, after dribbling after half the court, Jiang Yang directly broke through with the ball.

The situation on the court at this time is as follows, on the Celtics side, Jiang Yang plays point guard, Ray Allen represents the main point guard, Daniels comes to play small forward, Rasheed Wallace plays power forward, and Sheldon Williams plays center.

The opposing lineup is also good, the point guard is George Hill, the scoring guard is Super Sixth Man Ginobili, small forward Roger Mason, power forward DeJuan Blair, and center is Matt Bonner, such a lineup is actually not too far from the starting lineup of some weak teams, after all, Ginobili is indeed a man with All-Star strength.

After half the court, Jiang Yang looked at George Hill who was defending himself in front of him, his mind turned, and after a simple step and a change of hands, he broke through to the inside, but his speed was not fast, and he was easily stuck by George Hill, and everyone was saying that George Hill was actually the successor of Uncle Bao Sanshu cultivated by the Spurs.

Now that Bowen has retired, the Spurs' future pure defense will basically rely on George Hill, but Jiang Yang doesn't think so, looking at George Hill in front of him who was easily shaken off by himself, Jiang Yang snorted coldly!

"Look down on me! Then you will regret it! Seeing that the other party was shaken away by himself so easily, Jiang Yang didn't mean to be happy, he knew that this was the result of the other party underestimating himself, so Jiang Yang directly took a step back to the outside line, just played, Jiang Yang also wanted to try his own feel, it may be the reason why he just played, Jiang Yang's feel is really good, especially after George Hill's light enemy was shaken away, in fact, George Hill can't be blamed for this ball.

Because before this, Jiang Yang basically all the offenses were to pick up leaks, or bully particularly short players, and the most lethal three points were the fixed-point three points on the outside, so George Hill didn't think about Jiang Yang's direct attack at first, but Jiang Yang was so ruthless, directly pulled to the outside, and shot three-point.

After playing George Hill with a time difference, the basketball hit very easily, and the original 10 points difference became 13 points...... Watching Jiang Yang's easy hit, Doug Rivers on the sidelines couldn't help laughing, although Doug Rivers is also defensive first, but he is not Larry Brown after all, only Larry Brown will require every ball to be scored according to his own arrangement, even if you stop three points urgently, you don't want to play on his team in the future.

And although Doug Rivers is also defense-oriented, as long as he can win, sometimes he doesn't mind playing fast.

Seeing Jiang Yang's goal scored, the faces of the players on the Spurs' side naturally won't look too good, especially Po Povic.

The first quarter of the game has just ended, the second quarter of the game has just begun, this is a difference of thirteen points, is this game going to lose more than 20 points, under the command of Po Povich, the Spurs' super sixth man, Ginobili, began to exert power at a critical moment, George Hill dribbled past half court, and handed the basketball directly to Ginobili.

Looking at Ray Allen in front of him, Ginobili and Ray Allen can be described as old rivals, the shortcomings and advantages of the two are clear to them, looking at Ray Allen who is defending himself in front of him, Ginobili suddenly accelerated towards the inside line with a change of direction, this game has just begun, Ginobili has already used his own lore, the spirit snake breakthrough.

You can often see Ginobili under the bag of two people, or even three people, force a breakthrough, with a weird line, rush to the inside, and then throw the basketball and yourself into the sky, you touch me is a foul, if you don't touch me, then dunk.

Ray Allen obviously didn't have the courage to touch him, so Ginobili went straight to the air and did a full S-dunk.

Looking at Ginobili's dunk, the Celtics and Jiang Yang on the court couldn't help frowning.

In the game, there are several kinds of balls that are very morale-boosting, three-point shots at critical moments, equalizers, dunks in adversity and blocks at the last moments, these styles of play are very morale-boosting.

Ginobili is now a dunk in adversity, seeing the retreating Ginobili, Jiang Yang and Ray Allen muttered in a whisper, Ginobili's speed and physical fitness are not too good, and Jiang Yang, who has only B+ physical fitness, may not be able to restrain him, so after talking to Ray Allen, Jiang Yang and Ray Allen switched defenses.

The next time the Spurs attacked, it was still Ginobili, but just after halftime, the guy who defended himself in front of him changed from Ray Allen to Jiang Yang, originally he didn't care very much, but when he just wanted to break through, Jiang Yang posted it, and then a pair of little black hands kept helping him massage his waist muscles, he knew that things were going to be bad...... Everybody likes to play against Ray Allen because Ray Allen is so clean.

Offense, Ray Allen now basically solves the battle with three-point shots, and even when he was young, the three-point shot was not too accurate, he was just a dunk, a clean rush into the interior, a clean jump, a clean dunk.

Now he came to the Celtics, although he mainly stared at the outside point guard, but his defense was very clean, just like defending Ginobili just now, even if it was in front of him, he just raised his hands and pressed his chest against the other party, the gentleman's sword, Ray Allen, is not as hypocritical as the gentleman's sword in the laughing and proud rivers and lakes.

Ray Allen is indeed very clean defensively, so almost everyone in the league likes to play with Ray Allen, and there is nothing to say about shooting you to death when people are smooth, it can only be said that they are convinced.

And if you say who you don't like to play with the least in the league, it must have been Bowen before, because you have to be careful with every ball, maybe the next ball will ruin your career, and now Bowen has retired, and the new black hand in the league recently, this Jiang Yang is one of the best, the first is because this Jiang Yang is really very black, not inferior to Bowen.

The second is because this Jiang Yang is Chinese, which also lets the Yankees know that the Chinese are not all very good-tempered, Yao Minghe has a good temper, Yi Jianlian's temper is good that is their problem, Jiang Yang does not have such a good temper.

Under Jiang Yang's little black hands, Ginobili really felt the kung fu of his old teammate Bowen.

In fact, this ball can be tough if he wants to be tough, but the game is still a long time, and it is completely unnecessary, so he just passed the basketball out, and after George Hill received the basketball, he was defended by Ray Allen, and the hasty shot was a pity to hit the iron, but although the basketball was iron, the competition under the basket was beneficial to the Spurs.

DeJuan Bryan, a player of the Spurs, is only 67 inches tall, as tall as Jiang Yang who wears shoes, but he plays the position of power forward, and it is precisely because of his height that he is ten centimeters shorter than the position of the real power forward, so he only entered the NBA with the seventh pick in the second round of this year's draft and played for the Spurs.

It is precisely because he is too short, so even if he was unanimously selected for the All-American Rookie Team in the NCAA, was elected as the New Player of the Year in the Great Eastern League, and was selected for the Best Team of the Great Eastern League, he could grab 3.89 frontcourt rebounds in his freshman year to lead the entire Great Eastern League, and in his sophomore year, he averaged 5.57 frontcourt per game and ranked first in the United States, but these were ignored by the bigwigs in the NBA because of his height.

Po Povich's favorite thing to do is to pick up the rags, except for Duncan, it is difficult for you to find any high pick players in his team, but those low pick players, in Po Povich's hands are better than those All-Stars, Po Povich is interested in De Juan Blair's frontcourt rebounding ability, and this ability is also reflected at this time, George Hill misses the shot, and obviously has a disadvantage in height, However, DeJuan Blair, who has a clear advantage in rebounding, stuck a position and stuck the roaring Rashid Wallace behind him.

Stretching out his arms, he picked up the rebound into his arms at an absolute disadvantage, and then carried Rashid Wallace and scored the basketball easily with a hook hand, watching the ball go in, the fans in the audience cheered.

With goals from Ginobili and De Juan Blair, the original 13-point gap has been narrowed to less than 10 points.

At this time, DeJuan Blair's performance was not over, he scored two more under the basket one after another, scoring six points in a row, and successfully helped the Spurs narrow the score to only five points, Ray Allen stood up at the critical moment, Jiang Yang dribbled the ball past half court, and handed the ball to Ray Allen, who ran over, who hit the shot.

And the next ball Ray Allen reciprocated, Jiang Yang handed the ball to Ray Allen after half time, because Ray Allen had just scored, so Ginobili's defensive position was a little close, and Ray Allen successfully broke through.

George Hill, who was defending Jiang Yang next to him, immediately came over to help defend, and at the moment when he came over to help defend, Ray Allen passed the ball to Jiang Yang, and after Jiang Yang received the ball, he glanced at the basket in front of him, jumped high, and threw the basketball into it easily.

In the three-point shot, Jiang Yang and Ray Allen scored five points in a row to chase the score back and continue to lead by ten points.

Garnett, who had just come on the court, also scored two points on a jumper at a critical moment to help the Celtics maintain their lead.

Jiang Yang was substituted with half of the second quarter remaining, and by the time he got off the court, Jiang Yang had already scored 6 points and 3 assists, one assist for Ray Allen, one assist for Garnett, and one assist for Rasheed Wallace.

Although the center of gravity has shifted a little to Jiang Yang's side when he is on the bench now, the real sixth man of the Celtics is still this guy, Rasheed Wallace, and Jiang Yang is more of a job of transporting shells.

Before halftime, the Celtics had a wave of **, and Rondo's breakthrough was really sharp.

Parker's defense is almost just a decoration, Parker is fast, his layups are strong, but his defense does have some problems, which explains why Po Povich put Ginobili on the bench, because the team's starting lineup has a defensive black hole that is actually enough to choke...... There are two, for the current Spurs team, there is indeed some trouble, even more on Horry they retired, and now the team's bench lacks fire support points! With the favorable cooperation of Rondo and Perkins, Perkins scored seven points at the critical moment.

Led the team to play a wave of 13-3 offense**, the advantage continued to expand, and in the final moments, Ginobili and Parker scored four consecutive points, and the Spurs chased the score to 39-50 at halftime, continuing to trail the visitors by 11 points, and entered the second half.

"Well done, well done!" At halftime, Doug Rivers was very excited.

After all, it is not easy to lead the Spurs by 11 points at home, and now he has only one question to consider, how to maintain this lead until the end of the game.

Every team in the league has its own style, and the Celtics' style is to knock the opponent down with one punch and then take the opportunity to step on a few kicks to make it almost impossible for the opponent to turn over, and that's what Doug Rivers thinks right now.

"In the second half, I want to slow down the pace of your game, the success rate of the game, I hope the shooting rate can be kept above 45%, I don't know if there is a problem!" In the locker room, Doug Rivers fiddled with the tactics board and said to his players, although he used a negotiating tone, but if you look into his eyes, you know that it is not negotiable.

"No problem, boss!" Pierce took the lead as the captain, and when he heard Pierce's words, the other players shouted together, feeling the sound of their own team, and the corners of Doug Rivers' mouth slowly raised.
