Chapter 157: Amazing Resilience
"Brush!" added a free throw, and as Jiang Yang scored five points in a row, Jiang Yang single-handedly turned the score into 17-20.
"Jiang Yang's physical strength is almost up, Tony, ready to play!" After watching Jiang Yang's free throw on the court, his breathing began to become short, and Doug Rivers also said to Tony Allen next to him that he had a clear understanding of Jiang Yang's physical strength recently.
Nash here was beaten a 2+1 by Jiang Yang, and he was naturally uncomfortable in his heart, but he was a scoring guard, and Jiang Yang's defense breakthrough was relatively strong, so Nash didn't come to Jiang Yang's trouble, he was looking for Rondo's trouble!
After Nash broke through Rondo, he turned around and hit a jumper to stretch the score back to five points!
At this time, Jiang Yang's physical strength was gone, and when there were 4 minutes and 40 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, Jiang Yang was replaced by Tony Allen.
As soon as he sat down, Jiang Yang felt that his breathing was a little more even, and after about a minute, Jiang Yang's physical strength had basically recovered about 1 percent, feeling this obvious physical recovery, Jiang Yang was excited in his heart.
As long as there is this method of physical recovery, even if his physical fitness is only A-, he can play at least 30% more than usual, which means that Jiang Yang can play at least 6 more minutes in addition to 20 minutes, don't underestimate these six minutes.
Sometimes one minute of physical strength is enough to decide the outcome of a game, not to mention that Jiang Yang can play for six more minutes!
Without Jiang Yang on the field, the Celtics played really ugly, especially after being replaced by a substitute.
The Celtics have a strong bench, with Tony Allen, Glen Davis, Dee Dee House, and many others all good on offense.
Compared with any team in the league, their substitute can be the first in the main team.
However, compared with the Suns, they are really not enough to see these benches, and when it comes to substitutes, the Suns' benches are even stronger.
After Barbossa came on the field, he began to make a strong breakthrough, this guy's speed is really not bad, and the breakthrough is very sharp!
However, he was sharp, and Eddie House was not bad, Eddie House hit consecutive outside shots and forced the score.
The benches on both sides also played extremely hot, and the five-point difference was maintained until the end of the first quarter.
At the end of the first quarter, the Suns led the Celtics by five points at 30-25 into the second quarter, Jiang Yang can be said to be the first hero of the Celtics in the first quarter, Jiang Yang played 7 minutes and 20 seconds, a total of 7 points plus 2 assists, and supported the Celtics' outside lineup when Rondo did not score a point in the first quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics' benches began to chase points, and the Suns' interior line has always been their weakness.
So in the bench time, Doug Rivers still asked the players to focus on the Suns' interior line, and just after coming on the court, Sheldon Williams caused Robin Lopez to foul and hit one of two free throws, narrowing the score gap to four points.
But in turn, Robin López beat him and stretched the score difference to as much as six points!
In the next minute, Barbosa hit a layup, and Louis Armondson hit a layup, a wave of 6-1 small **, directly stretched the score to 36-26, leading the Celtics by as many as 10 points, which is the highest point difference in the game.
There is no way, Doug Rivers can only let Ray Allen play first and go to the top! As soon as Ray Allen came on the pitch, it worked.
His breakthrough resulted in a defensive foul on Dragic and two free throws to narrow the score to eight...... But then it was Barbosa, the Brazilian lightning, who broke through directly and then scored a pull-up jumper to pull the score back.
At the critical moment, Eddie House hit a three-pointer from the outside to tie the score to seven points, but then the two sides fell into a tug-of-war again.
With 5:53 left in the game, the two sides went into an official timeout as Perkins fouled Grant Hill while scrambling for the ball.
"Jiang, how's it going?" Looking at Jiang Yang on the field, Doug Rivers asked him with some concern.
"Fortunately, the physical strength is almost recovered!" Jiang Yang nodded and sat on the sidelines for 13 minutes, which made Jiang Yang have recovered about eighty percent of his own physical strength, but it was not like usual, this was three times the speed at which Jiang Yang recovered his physical strength.
If it is the first two games, then Jiang Yang's physical strength will recover to about sixty percent at most, and two percent more recovered, that is the playing time! Hearing Jiang Yang's reply, Doug Rivers waved his hand, and Jiang Yang came on the court to replace Tony Allen.
Seeing Jiang Yang on the court, the Suns also immediately replaced him, replacing him with the little bully, Stoudemire.
Jiang Yang just came on the field, and he had an outstanding performance! The offensive ball on the Suns' side, after Dragic dribbled the ball past half court, handed the basketball to Grant Hill, Grant Hill just got the ball, Jiang Yang posted it, two pairs of little black hands on Grant Hill's waist, Grant Hill was stunned for a moment, and then it may be scared, or it may be trying to avoid Jiang Yang, anyway, Grant Hill passed the ball, and the route of his pass happened to be on Jiang Yang's right, which was passed to Barbossa!
In the face of such a pass that was almost delivered to his eyes, how could Jiang Yang not accept it? Directly stretched out his hand, poked lightly, and stabbed the basketball down, and then Jiang Yang copied the basketball, dribbled a few big strides and rushed to the inside line of the Suns, seeing Jiang Yang rushing over, Barbossa, who originally wanted to break through in the distance, had no way, using his speed, came to his own half in advance, looking at Jiang Yang who rushed over, although Jiang Yang's strength is not strong, but his weight is there, at least it looks bluffing, Barbossa didn't dare to be tough, so he could only foul in advance, hugging Jiang Yang at the same time, also sent Jiang Yang to the free throw line, and then the Suns took a timeout, replacing Barbosa with Nash and Grant Hill with Dudley, and the main players began to play.
Jiang Yang's free throws are still very stable! Two free throws, both of which were made, and now he has nine points.
Narrowed the score to seven points on both sides, and then the Suns' shooting percentage began to drop!
Jiang Yang is a small forward, since Dudley is on the court, Jiang Yang's defense is to defend him, in the face of Jiang Yang's defense, Dudley, a rookie, has not many ways, missed three points, and was grabbed by Stoudemire on the inside to grab an offensive rebound, and then wanted to beat Perkins, but Perkins's meaty body size is still there, just with this size, it is not Stoudemire's top of it.
So after hesitating for a moment, Stoudemire passed the pass to the outside and to Channing Frye.
The latter missed three points and was grabbed by Perkins for the rebound, but Xiao Si, who was squeezed behind by Perkins, was really a little angry, so he pushed him when he was scrambling for a rebound, and this one was a bad thing...... The referee's whistle went straight on.
Foul! Originally, an ordinary foul was not a bad thing, inside, every game, who did not carry four or five fouls on his back, but this was Xiao Si's third foul, the third foul in the second quarter, and it should be off the court at this time.
Because he still has three fouls left, in the second half, watching Xiao Si helplessly end the game, Doug Rivers secretly clenched his fists.
Get Stoudemire off the court, and the Celtics will have a chance to reflexively on both the offensive and defensive ends!
And what happened next was to give Doug Rivers a slap in the face, and Perkins was probably too nervous, making two free throws and two misses.
was also grabbed by Lopez to grab the rebound, not to mention the rebound, he also paid a foul, but Robin Lopez on this side was very powerful, two free throws and two hits, 46-37, and the score on both sides opened again! And at this time, Jiang Yang came out again.
But now he is not attacking, but passing, Dudley's defense is not bad in the Suns, plus Jiang Yang's physique is not as strong as the opponent, and he is not as fast as the opponent, so Jiang Yang's current offensive means are only three points and passing.
Jiang Yang is not sure of three points, so only the pass remains, and Jiang Yang's pass is still very sharp!
A simple back pass to Eddie House, who hit the ball straight into the ball to keep the score narrow.
On the Suns' side, it seems that they have recognized Perkins' point, Robin Lopez, once again deceived Perkins's foul inside, and after two free throws and two hits, the score was still maintained at 9 points! And the key moment is Jiang Yang and Tony Allen again.
After Eddie House dribbled past half court, he handed the ball to Jiang Yang, who took advantage of Perkins' block and rushed into the interior at the same time, and passed the ball back to Perkins, who attracted Robin Lopez's defense when he received the ball, and then passed the ball back to the inside.
After Jiang Yang received the ball, he jumped and dunked directly to chase the score back! And then Nash made a pass error, the Celtics served in the half, Ray Allen couldn't shoot, Perkins stuck Robin Lopez with his body on the inside, Jiang Yang picked an offensive rebound, and then passed to Eddie House, who hit a three-point shot to stop the Suns!
This is Jiang Yang's third offensive rebound in this game, usually Jiang Yang's rebounds are very vegetable, but today's Jiang Yang's rebounds are very powerful! Three offensive rebounds, all turned into scoring, either by themselves or by teammates!
A 5-0 wave of attack directly allowed the Celtics to narrow the score to 44-48, only four points behind the Suns.
Without Stoudemire, the Suns' interior threat has decreased rapidly, and even Jiang Yang can pick up leaks on the inside.
However, the good times did not last long, after the game restarted, Rondo replaced Eddie House, and Nash also hit a three-point shot from the outside at this time, further stretching the score, but fortunately, Perkins on the inside cheated on the foul again, making one of two free throws!
But then the second ball allowed him to grab the offensive rebound, and then passed the ball to Rondo, although Rondo couldn't prevent Nash, but Nash couldn't prevent Rondo, so he couldn't let him go to the basket, so he could only foul! And Rondo's messy free throws are the same as Perkins'...... 46-51, the Celtics continued to stay in the back five points, and the game continued! And at critical moments, the Suns' outside unconventional weapon, Channing Frye finally came into play, he is an outside three-point center, so he doesn't stand on the inside when he attacks.
What Perkins is most afraid of is this kind of interior line, because he is a traditional center, and such a big physique makes him unable to defend himself!
Channing Frye had a chance and hit a three-pointer from the outside, but Ray Allen on the Celtics' side finally found his touch.
Rondo assisted, Ray Allen returned a three-pointer from the opponent, and the score on both sides was still very tight! With 36 seconds left, Jiang Yang hit a three-point shot to help the Celtics maintain the score at 4 points, but then Richardson hit a jumper and Rondo assisted Perkins for a dunk, and the halftime game on both sides officially ended, 61-57, and the Celtics still trailed by four points.
In this quarter of the game, Jiang Yang scored a total of five points, plus a rebound and an assist, and the total score has come to 12 points, plus 3 rebounds and 3 assists, the data is very balanced, and the difference between the two sides is still four points into the third quarter of the game!
After a five-minute intermission, Jiang Yang's physical strength recovered somewhat, and then re-entered the game, and today Doug Rivers was also a little surprised Jiang Yang's physical strength, Jiang Yang, who was originally tired like a dead dog, recovered very quickly today.
He actually guessed that it might have something to do with Pierce, but he didn't expect Jiang Yang to learn skills! He probably thought that Jiang Yang was guided by Pierce, who told him when he should save some physical strength on the court, and it was harmless, when he should attack, when he should work hard, etc...... In fact, Pierce has said it before, but these things don't play an important role in Jiang Yang's physical strength, and it's Pierce's skills that really work!
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Jiang Yang was still on the court, and his physical strength had probably recovered to about seventy percent, and Jiang Yang could play at least ten minutes of the game! After playing in the third quarter, Jiang Yang, who had physical strength, launched an attack on the Suns' position.
The Suns are like the Celtics in some ways, they are playing with older players.
Whether it's Nash or Hill, it's the same with the Celtics, after Ray Allen couldn't beat it a little, Jiang Yang, the only guy who can shoot three points on the outside, became the main point of attack on the court, and Jiang Yang really didn't disappoint everyone, at the beginning of the third quarter, Jiang Yang hit a three-pointer, raising his score to 15 points at the same time, and narrowing the score difference to only 1 point, but at the critical moment, Stadle was on the court, After causing a foul on Rashid Wallace, he made one of two free throws to stabilize the score, but then Rondo assisted on Perkins' dunk.
From the beginning of the game, both sides have been chasing points, until 55 seconds into the third quarter, the Celtics finally tied the score! The Suns had to call a timeout, and after the timeout came back, Stoudemire received an assist from Nash and scored a dunk! Then Rasheed Wallace also hit a shot, then Nash, and after dribbling across the halfcourt, another simple backdribble gave the ball to Jason Richardson, who hit a layup to put the score in the lead...... Then it was the dunk king again, deceived Rashid Wallace's foul, two free throws and two hits, the Suns slowly stretched the score to four points again, and at the critical moment, Channing Frye hit a three-point shot again, and four points turned into seven points...... Celtic were halted again.
Jiang Yang is not a superstar now, although he feels that his offense may be about to be advanced again, but even if he is promoted, he only has an A-level offense, not to mention that he has not been promoted yet, only an A-level offense.
You let Jiang Yang usually steal a point on the court, pick a leak or something, with his three-point shooting rate is higher than two-point, it is estimated that it is not a big problem to score more than a dozen points, but if you want to make Jiang Yang the team's offensive support point now...... Then you can inherit the title of Nash, old bean sprouts...... Nash is called Old Bean Sprouts because of his poor physical fitness.
And if Jiang Yang is called by this name, there will be another layer of accidents...... is the so-called holding bean sprouts as a crutch, that is can't be helped, and it can't be relied on! After the timeout, Rondo still chose to miss himself, hit a layup, and so far in this game, he only scored six points, but then the Suns' Stoudemire hit it again with a simple turnaround jumper.
Got 22 and 23 points for their lack of experience in this game! Yes, he's already scored 23 points on the inside today.
The Celtics' interior has become an amusement park for the Suns' two interior players at this point, and they can get as much as they want.
With five minutes and 26 seconds left in the third quarter, Celtics backup point guard Brian Scalabny fouled Stoudemire, and there was no way for them to contain him except for fouls.
Jiang Yang and Rondo were substituted together and played six and a half minutes, and Jiang Yang's physical affairs bottomed out again...... Eddie House and Tony Allen come on the field and start the game! However, as soon as he got on the court, Eddie House fouled and sent Smalls to the free throw line...... Then the field began to gradually become clearer...... The Suns have been pressing the Celtics to play!
When there are Jiang Yang, Ray Allen and Rondo, at least it looks like a four-six-on-one on the scene...... But when the substitutes came on the field, the scene looked like it was 91...... Jiang Yang did not play the rest of the third quarter.
The Celtics' bench also dug a big hole for the main players, and at the end of the third quarter, the Celtics trailed by as many as 11 points at 79-90...... With 7 minutes and 36 seconds left in the fourth quarter, those 11 points became 15 points.
The Suns led by a full 15 points at 102-87, and looking at the situation on the court, Doug Rivers was already covering his face.
"Coach, I'm almost recovering!" Just as Doug Rivers was wondering whether to give up this game, a voice sounded in his ears, and he turned his head to look at Du Yang with a serious face, and the expression on Doug Rivers' face was quite rich!
