Chapter 134: Torture and Kill the Stag
Speaking of the Bucks, it can be said that there is no such thing as the hottest topic in the league right now...... Almost everyone mentions this year's rookie and will put forward three names, Tyrick Evans, the fourth rookie is known as LeBron James among the rookies, although he plays at guard, but he has no worse physical quality than the forward position.
Stephen Curry, the No. 6 rookie, is known as a 360-degree all-weather pure shooter, can shoot the ball in any position, as long as he likes, and after entering the Warriors, he is built as a point guard.
Brandon Jennings, the No. 10 rookie, was unknown before entering the NBA, of course, this refers to him before the draft, not that he was also unknown in high school, he averaged 32.7 points plus 7.4 assists per game in his senior year of high school (American middle and high school are linked), Jennings was one of the hottest high school students in the country that year, and won all the major high school player of the year awards that year.
After graduating from Oak High School, Blanton Jennings received letters from more than N schools, hoping that he could join his team, but Jennings did not do so, he found another way, signed directly with the Italian Roma team, and went to Italy to participate in the professional basketball league, in fact, he can't be blamed for this, Jennings's family is in a very difficult situation.
He has been fatherless since he was 8 years old, and his mother has worked very hard to support him and his younger brother.
If he goes to play in the NCAA, even if the school will waive his tuition and fees, his living expenses are also very expensive, so it is not unreasonable for him to go to Europe to pan for gold after graduating from high school, because he is the same as players like him, and they are not eligible to go to the NBA for the time being, because since 2006, all high school players must be at least 19 years old and stay in college for one year to participate in the NBA draft.
It was precisely because of this rule in the league that he pushed him to Italy, but the young man in Italy did not have a good life, homesickness, coupled with language difficulties, and the lack of support from his teammates, made his European League stand still.
He played in 27 games for Roma, averaging 17 minutes per game, plus 5.5 points and 2.3 assists.
No one would say that this kind of statistic is good-looking, so he hasn't had a good time playing in Europe.
It is precisely because he played blind in Europe this year, so he came back to play in the NBA this year, and he was not very favored in the draft pick, until the tenth place, he was picked by the Bucks, but after the selection, the Bucks found that in fact, he picked a baby, Jennings, is indeed a baby, although the height disadvantage makes him perform poorly on the defensive end, but his achievements on the offensive end can not help but be impressive, and he became famous all over the world.
This is Jennings, who became the youngest Mr. 50 in NBA history on November 15, November 15, to be exact, at the age of 20 years and 49 days.
In a game against the Warriors, Jennings scored 55 points, breaking the record held by LeBron James as the youngest Mr. 50 at 20 years and 80 days, from 1986 to the present, there are only six players who have scored 50 or more points in a single game at the age of 21, including James 3 times, Iverson once, Jamal Marsh once, Blanton Jennings once, and 29 points in a single quarter also made Jennings the rookie with the most points in a single quarter in NBA history. Jennings's 55 points also broke the 50-year single-game scoring record in the Bucks' rookie season held by Abdul-Jabbar, Jamal scored 51 points in a single game in his 40-year rookie season and helped the Bucks win the only championship at that time, and Jennings's 55 points are also the NBA's personal single-game scoring record this season.
said that Jennings is the hottest rookie in the league now, there is no doubt at all, and there are even some netizens who have good things to prepare the cover of NBA2K11 in advance, which is the cover when Jennings did the game, which is very powerful.
The current record of the Bucks, 9 and 10 losses, is not bad in the East!
They have Andrew Bogut, one of the best centers in the league now, plus Jennings, and Reed, who may return from injury in the future, and on paper, the current Bucks are really not ordinarily strong.
On December 8, the only home game in the eight games before and after the Celtics officially began.
This is also Jiang Yang's first game after three days of rest, although they haven't played for three days, but these old guys of the Celtics don't have hands! The starting line-ups for both sides today are as follows.
For the Bucks, the starting center, Andrew Bogut, the big center in Australia, is really good at the level of this center itself, with good offensive ability, and he must be tall, feel the hand, and defend and defend.
But I don't know why, he has never been too popular in the NBA, but he is also in the ranks of the first-class centers in the NBA, and the general No. 5 position meets Bogut really doesn't have a very good way to play.
The big forward is Eisen Ilyasova, this player is two meters and eight meters tall, and it is enough to play Da Zhangfeng, but with his weight of 107 kilograms, playing the No. 4 position is a guy looking for abuse, and his main scoring means comes from his three-point shot, not a strong play on the inside, so he encounters those strong interior lines, it is doomed to be a tragedy.
Small forward Luke Richard Bamot, this player was picked by the Bucks in the second round last year, but I didn't expect that this player's level is good, 203 cm, the first position is small forward, but occasionally you can make a cameo as a big forward.
Because Reed was injured, the Bucks had no point guard, so they could only send another small forward, the second small forward was Carlos Delfino, who was originally going to play in Europe this season, but now he has been recruited, and this season he has become a super good player on the outside of the Bucks, who can shoot and shoot well.
The point guard is naturally the hottest right now, Brandon Jennings! And the Celtics' starting lineup is still the same old thing.
As long as there are no accidents, the Celtics will never make substitutions!
At the referee's suggestion, the centers on both sides came to the center circle to prepare for the jumper, and when the referee threw the orange basketball into the air, Perkins and Bogut jumped at the same time.
The basketball was taken away by Perkins and then picked up by Kevin Garnett, who took the ball and made a very covert pass to the fast Ray Allen, who was a dunk before he became the three-point king.
After receiving such a ball, and it was just the beginning of the game, it was natural to play the momentum of the Celtics, and after receiving the ball, Ray Allen jumped directly to the inside, jumped high, and cooperated with Garnett to complete a powerful slam dunk.
The Green Shirts opened the scoring, but on the Bucks' side, Bogut missed a jump shot, and then Delfino fouled Garnett, but Garnett's free throw basket today was indeed a bit disgusting, and he missed two free throws.
It wasn't until a minute and a half into the first quarter that Perkins threw the second ball on either side inside.
Instead, Andrew Bogut also hit a layup to chase the score, and Garnett on the inside hit hard.
As just said, Ilyasova simply has no way to defend Garnett effectively.
Although he defended the ball, he also paid a foul, 6-2, after all, two minutes before the game, the score on both sides was as follows, and then the two sides started a tug-of-war, basically, you score one, and then I score another.
The score on both sides has been maintained on the basis of three or four points, until there are 2 minutes and 28 seconds left in the game, Jiang Yang, Rashid Wallace replaced Kevin Garnett, Jiang Yang replaced Rondo, Tony Allen replaced Perkins, Brian Scalablanei, replaced Pierce, and the current Celtic lineup has changed.
Only Rashid Wallace is left on the inside, to top Andrew Bogut, and the other players are basically hovering on the outside, there is no one at the power forward position, Tony Allen is a small forward, the same as Brian Scala Blanei, and Ray Allen is playing point guard, Jiang Yang is playing point guard, plus Rashid Wallace likes to shoot on the outside, basically, now the Green Shirts have no so-called orthodox interior players, and they are all floating on the outside.
The Bucks also replaced Ilyasova with Varik, and the game continued on both sides.
Jiang Yang is now a point guard on the court, so even if the relationship with Tony Allen is not too good, Tony Allen will definitely hand the ball to Jiang Yang first, and Jiang Yang will face Luke Ridno in front of him with the ball.
Redno has been the starting point guard for the Bucks last year, after Mo Jr. left.
In the league, although Redno is not famous, he is one of the first-line point guards in the league.
Luke Ridno, who is the 03 golden generation, can be ranked in the lottery area that year, and he has already proved that he is extraordinary.
After being drafted by the SuperSonics, Ridnow also experienced the glory of the SuperSonics, under the leadership of the three supersonic fast gunners such as Ray Allen and Lewis, he has always been the starting point guard of the SuperSonics, and at his peak, he can also contribute 11.5 points per game plus 7 assists, and it is no problem to say that he is the first-line point guard in the league.
In the face of Luke Ridno, Jiang Yang was not careless, and slowly dribbled the ball to find the opponent's weakness.
After taking a look at the opponent's defense, Jiang Yang was a little bottomless, because Jiang Yang's own surname was not too prominent, if the opponent's defense was loose, it would be fine, but once the opponent defended seriously, basically there were really few people in the league who were afraid of his breakthrough, and after hesitating for a while, Jiang Yang handed over the basketball to Ray Allen next to him and let him play.
Jun Zilei will not hesitate like Jiang Yang, he jumped directly after receiving the ball, but unfortunately he didn't score.
In turn, the Bucks scored a goal by Bogut hook on the inside, and after serving, Jiang Yang still handed the ball to Ray Allen after half court, and Ray Allen will shoot from taking the ball or taking the ball, what is a fast gunner, this is.
A good scorer always believes that his next goal will definitely be scored!
And Ray Allen has also proved that he is still one of the top shooters in the league, and his three-point shot is very accurate.
26-22, the score opened again, but now the Bucks are not without strong points, in the face of the Celtics no interior 'disadvantage', the Bucks made full use of Bogut's role, under the basket to eat Rasheed Wallace, and then hit a layup, the score remained until there were ten seconds left before the end of the first quarter, Brandon Jennings, who did not play at all today, was replaced on the court, and after playing, he directly grabbed a rebound in the backcourt.
Then he hurriedly attacked, and in the face of Jiang Yang, Jennings caught Jiang Yang off guard and shook Jiang Yang off guard.
It took five seconds to open Jiang Yang, dribble to the Celtics' half, and then jump straight up, and with five seconds left in the game, he deceived the foul of Bryan Scala Blanei on the outside, 2+1.
Jennings hit directly, and in just five seconds, Jennings helped the Bucks directly overtake the score 27-26, looking at Jennings' role on the court, in fact, Jiang Yang had to nod in admiration.
This Jennings is really a troublemaker, and he caught himself off guard, and he didn't expect it.
"Give me the ball!" However, if he was beaten one, if he was in front of those superstars, maybe Jiang Yang would back down, pass the ball or let others shoot, and his main role on the court is to connect the game and defense.
But being beaten by the same rookie, Jiang Yang will not give up so easily, looking at Jennings in front of him, Jiang Yang smiled coldly, and took the initiative to ask for the ball at Rasheed Wallace, who originally wanted to serve to Ray Allen.
Hearing Jiang Jian's words, Rashid Wallace was stunned for a moment, because on the field, Jiang Yang really didn't have many opportunities to take the initiative to ask for the ball, and there were only five seconds left, Ray Allen thought about it and nodded to Rashid Wallace, and then ran towards the opponent's half, which means that this ball will be given to Jiang Yang, Rashid didn't say much, and directly handed the ball to Jiang Yang, when the ball rolled, no one from the other side came to defend, until the ball was about to reach the middle circle, Jennings ran over to defend Jiang Yang, At this time, Jiang Yang picked up the ball, and time had just begun.
Facing Jennings, Jiang Yang had nothing to hesitate at all, he only had five seconds to attack to find a way back on the field.
Jiang Yang dribbled the ball, took two steps past the center, and then pressed Jennings to the three-point line, Jennings's body is indeed too much worse than Jiang Yang, and his height is not high, and his weight is very light. Jiang Yang was originally not good at it, but against Jennings, this is Jiang Yang's strength, outside the three-point line, Jiang Yang leaned directly on Jennings, and then jumped back, directly got up and jumped, although Jennings jumped hard to seal Jiang Yang, but his height is really a bit of a problem.
And Jiang Yang's squeeze just now also squeezed him a little far away from Jiang Yang, and he couldn't cover this ball.
"Brush ............" and "squeak" have a clear advantage in height, and squeeze the other party away, Jiang Yang's first shot after the game, the first three points, very perfect into the basket, at the same time as the basketball into the basket, the bell of the first quarter of the game also rang, with Jiang Yang's three-point shot at the last moment, the Celtics took a two-point advantage of 29-27, leading the Bucks into the second quarter, the second quarter of the game began, Jennings went off the court, and this became Jiang Yang's paradise.
With Jiang Yang's own five points, plus three assists, the Celtics' benches, at the beginning of the second quarter, played an 11-2 offensive **, and the score was stretched to as many as 11 points in one fell swoop, until there were 6 minutes left in the second quarter, Rondo replaced Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang had been on the court for 8 minutes at this time, and got the most 8 points plus 4 assists, such a result can be said to be the absolute top in the bench.
And Jennings faced Rondo, whether it was experience, passing or rhythm, it was more than a level behind.
Although they scored more points than Rondo, they were played by Rondo, and at the end of the half, the Bucks only recovered two points, 48-57 behind the Celtics by nine points into the second half of the game.
The Bucks played very tenacious, but the game was sometimes very brutal.
It's not that you can win the game if you play tenacity, with 4 minutes and 51 seconds left, Ilyasova made a layup and successfully narrowed the score to 86-91, only five points short, and at this time, Jiang Yang came out to make trouble again, at this time he played a shooting guard, directly hit a three-pointer, and then Rondo immediately caused Jennings' foul, two free throws and two hits.
Then Rondo hit another shot and assisted Garnett, and the Celtics directly played a wave of 9-0 offense** to regain control of the situation, and the 14-point difference was enough to reassure Doug Rivers!
After Jiang Yang went off the court, Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, and Garnett scored in the game with 38.5 celestial bodies left, so the Celtics have determined the victory, and the outcome has lost suspense! In the end, the Celtics won the game 105-89, and Gane held the opponents in the last few games one by one, and was once again honored as the MVP of this game.
The Celtics scored 7 double-doubles in the game, in addition to the starting five, and Rashid Wallace, Jiang Yang also got 11 points and 6 assists, although the score is the same as Rondo, but Jiang Yang sees clearly, the gap between the two is still very large, because Rondo not only scored 11 points, but also has 13 assists plus 9 rebounds, and it is a quasi-triple-double that is just a little bit close, Rondo's offense may only have A- like Jiang Yang, but his passing, his footsteps, his defense, It is many times stronger than Jiang Yang...... Jiang Yang knows this better than anyone else.
