Chapter 174: Complete Victory
Twenty seconds passed quickly, and soon the Heat's timeout was over, and both sides were back on the court.
The time of 1 minute and 58 seconds was given to the Heat, and the players on the court at this time were as follows: point guard Dwayne Wade, scoring guard Gary Payton, small forward James Posey, power forward Haslem, and center Shaqui O'Neal.
Wade watched Jiang Yang slowly dribble past half court, although the current Wade still belongs to Xiao Zhengtai's type.
It hasn't fully developed yet, but his offense is not comparable to Jiang Yang at this time! After all, physical fitness, people have this foundation! After a crotch dribble, Wade rushed directly into the interior with the ball.
Jiang Yang immediately leaned over, Jiang Yang's physical fitness was A, although he still couldn't keep up with Wade's speed, but he was already able to barely follow the other party, and he kept using his own small movements to blacken the other party, and Wade was also very uncomfortable.
There is no way, he can only hand the ball to James Posey in the distance, James Posey did not hesitate after taking the ball, and jumped directly, this time is not the time to hesitate, if you can score, if you can't score, you can find a way!
That's the way it is, can't get in! But on the inside, O'Neal stuck Meme, the basketball didn't go in, it bounced on the basket, but it was crooked and then poured out, just giving O'Neal a chance to make up the basket O'Neal hit an easy rebound.
Finally, the score that the Lakers overtook was chased back like this, and there was no way at all.
"Who is ......" Seeing Mime, who was pressed under O'Neal, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but curse secretly, this ball is really disgusting.
Complete physical fitness, no skill at all, pure is the product of O'Neal knocking Mime away!
But O'Neal doesn't care what Kobe Bryant's thoughts, Kobe's mid-range shot can't be scored here, and Wade over there dribbles over again.
In the face of Jiang Yang, although Wade was a little angry in his heart, Jiang Yang's defense was really powerful, and he didn't have any temper at all.
To deal with Wade, who can't jump at all now, Jiang Yang has too many ways! If Wade is 5 years later, after he has practiced his jump shot well, and then meets the current Jiang Yang, he will be the master of pure abuse of Jiang Yang! While he doesn't know how to jump shot, bully him more! With such an evil mood, Jiang Yang began to hand Wade, Wade's black face, anyway, he couldn't tell if he was touched by Jiang Yang, he was just a little annoyed, and directly hoisted the ball to the inside line, there was no way, he couldn't break through Jiang Yang.
O'Neal on the inside, or using his body to hit Mime, there is such an easy way to score, why not use it? He's not stupid either! After squeezing Mime directly with his body, O'Neal was ready to go to the basket, but he was always squeezed around like this, everyone would have fire, and Mime couldn't care so much, so he directly pushed O'Neal a hand, O'Neal came down, and the referee's whistle sounded, foul! And later it turned out that the foul was actually worth it, because O'Neal's free throw ...... "didn't score a single one!" It's really powerful, no wonder there is a shark cutting tactic! Seeing O'Neal's free throw, Jiang Yang couldn't help but be happy, one step ahead, Jiang Yang put the rebound in his arms, and then avoided Wade's steal behind him, and slowly dribbled past half court, this time Jiang Yang did not hand over the ball to Kobe Bryant again, Kobe Bryant was tired today, his hand shape changed when he shot, and now he can still throw it in, which is strange, Jiang Yang looked at the situation on the sidelines, directly poured the ball down, and threw the ball to Odom.
Odom took the ball and shook off James Posey and went straight inside, but was fouled by the opponent.
The key free throw, Odom also withered, one of two free throws, 92-91 Lakers still lead the opponent by one point!
Jiang Yang remembered that the mission said 97-92, which means that after this goal, the Lakers did not score a single goal!
Seeing that there were still 42 seconds left on the court, Wade slowly dribbled past half court and began to press the clock.
"Why don't you break through?" Looking at Wade in front of him, Jiang Yang was fighting trash talk with him, and asked with a smile.
"The ball is in my hand, do you care?" Wade glanced at Jiang Yang, and as soon as he broke through, he pinched his own yellow race, Wade had no good impression at all, and the 24 seconds of offensive time consumed 18 seconds of time in Wade.
With 6 seconds left, Wade hoisted the ball directly to O'Neal on the inside, and after O'Neal got the ball, it may be that Kobe Bryant wanted to win too much, so when O'Neal got the ball, he directly abandoned Gary Payton, who was defending, and pounced on O'Neal.
At the moment when Kobe Bryant turned around to defend O'Neal, O'Neal also passed, and the direction of the pass was this point of Gary Payton! After Gary Payton got the ball, he shook a shot and shook off Jiang Yang, who came over to make up for the defense, and there was no way.
Jiang Yang pounced the moment Kobe Bryant went in to help defend, and this kind of pounce was not too threatening for an old fritter like Gary Payton, so it was directly shaken away, and then Gary Payton jumped up very steadily.
In front of Jiang Yang, he directly pushed the basketball out, three points! The basketball spins straight into the hoop.
Three points! At the most critical time, the Heat overtook the score 94-92, and at this time, only the last 18.1 seconds were left for the Lakers, and the opponent wasted every second of his 24 seconds, and in the last second of 24 seconds, the ball was scored!
Seeing the offense on the Heat's side, the faces of the players on the Lakers' side were quite ugly! Phil Jackson also called a timeout at the first time, and he needs to lay out the next tactics, what if he goes in, what if he doesn't!
"Bo has a three-pointer, the first main point of attack is Kobe, if Kobe is seen to death, it is Jiang Yang! If Jiang Yang and Kobe Bryant are both seen to death, it is Cook! Questions? This ball is pressed to attack within ten seconds, and if this ball goes in, immediately retreat! If you don't score, you will immediately adopt foul tactics, whether it is O'Neal or Wade, their free throws are not very stable, do you understand? "What can you say in twenty seconds? I can only lay out the pre-game tactics!
After the timeout, Odom stood on the outside and prepared to take the throw-in, while Jiang Yang and Kobe Bryant were also running around the court.
Sure enough, as Phil Jackson thought, Kobe Bryant was watched dead by Larry Payton! There was not the slightest room to catch the ball.
The 90s is an era of PG, Gary Payton is one of the best even in this group of people, although he doesn't have a gorgeous offensive talent, he doesn't have too many violent dunks like SF1, and he doesn't have a calm mind like Stockton, but he is the most distinctive surname and the most comprehensive one in the PG in the 90s! In the era when Jordan was rampant in the league, he was the only one who could defend Jordan head-on! Of course, this prevention is not a complete restriction of death.
What's more, he is the only one who dares to face the god of basketball! And his defensive skills are arguably the strongest outside defenders of the 90s! From '94 to '01, eight years, he was on the league's first team and was named the league's best defensive player in '96, the first guard to win this honor since Jordan's '87-88 season! Named to the All-Star team for seven consecutive years, including two starts! In 96, he once hit the championship with Rainman Sean Kemp, but unfortunately, their opponent at that time was just like the bulls in the sky, in front of Jordan, Gary Payton could only hate!
Although he has won so many honors, Gary Payton, who joined the NBA in 90, has been playing for fifteen years!
He is really old, but even if he is old, it is no problem to break out at a critical moment, at least for now, he is quite depressed to prevent Kobe! Odom saw that Kobe Bryant had no chance to catch the ball, so he looked at Jiang Yang next to him.
Jiang Yang was much simpler at this time, although Wade was staring at Jiang Yang, he didn't keep an eye on it too closely.
Odom used a reverse hanging style of play and threw the ball behind Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang took the basketball into his arms with the advantage of height, and finally sent the basketball out in five seconds, and then Jiang Yang dribbled the ball out of the three-point line.
Start pressing time! According to Phil Jackson's style of play, Jiang Yang has been watching the situation on the court!
Bryant has always been gloved Peyton, like a hand in the glove, and there is no way to catch the ball at all.
While the rest of the players were also seen more deadly, Pat Riley did not choose to defend or flank.
It's just the most basic half-court man-to-man defense, but it's this kind of defense that gives Jiang Yang the most headache!
Because there is no obvious point of attack, if O'Neill is on Jiang Yang's side at this time, then he is the best main point of attack.
O'Neal vs. Meme, it was like bullying, but unfortunately, O'Neal left the Lakers.
So Jiang Yang can only think of his own way now, seeing that time passes minute by minute, Kobe Bryant still has no room to connect the ball by Payton, at this time Jiang Yang can only gamble, betting on whether his three-point shot is accurate!
Looking at Wade in front of him, Wade's height is only 193 cm, which is still measured after wearing shoes, so when Jiang Yang faces Wade, he actually has an obvious advantage in height, but this is a future superstar after all.
Jiang Yang really didn't dare to be careless, and after hesitating for a while, Jiang Yang looked at Phil Jackson on the sidelines.
may have felt the meaning in Jiang Yang's gaze, Phil Jackson nodded at Jiang Yang, got the coach's approval, Jiang Yang's courage also increased, and finally the time was consumed by Jiang Yang within ten seconds, and Jiang Yang began to attack!
Taking a deep breath, Wade in front of Jiang Yang suddenly took a step and rushed towards his left.
Wade saw Jiang Yang's movements, and after taking a step back, he blocked in front of Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang is not his opponent compared to his footsteps, even if he has not finished growing up now, it is not comparable to the current Jiang Yang.
But is Jiang Yang really rushing there? Jiang Yang was in front of Wade, suddenly his wrist flicked, the basketball was behind Jiang Yang's back, came to the left hand, and then pulled the center of gravity, and before Wade reacted, he directly dribbled and broke through.
But Wade is Wade after all, although the center of gravity did not stand firmly, he still forcibly pulled it back and blocked Jiang Yang again, but at this time his steps were also unstable, it was foreseeable that if Jiang Yang bumped into him, he would definitely fall ...... And now it's home, and if it's away, in the Spoothes Center, then it's possible that the referee won't give the goal.
But this is in the American Airlines Center, Jiang Yang doesn't dare to bet, in case the referee sentences him for an offensive foul, then his task will collapse!
Jiang Yang didn't want his task to die in his hands like this, so Jiang Yang also forcibly pulled back his center of gravity, grabbed the ball, and took a step back! Yes, it's a step back, and if he goes forward, he could get fouled by Wade.
Then now he will step back! In fact, Jiang Yang originally thought the same way, Phil Jackson can say that Bo three points, not two points! Jiang Yang jumped directly under the gaze of the audience, Jiang Yang gently threw the basketball out, and the basketball did not make Jiang Yang wait much this time, and plunged directly into the basket! Three points!
The Lakers overtook the score, and Jiang Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hitting the ball, and finally lived up to his expectations!
95-94 The Lakers overtook the score, and there were still six seconds left for the other party, yes, what I just said was so lively, Jiang Yang and Wade's battle was actually only two seconds, and the remaining two seconds were the time when the basketball was flying in the air.
The Heat watched Jiang Yang score the ball, Pat Riley immediately called a timeout, and after the timeout came back, the Heat arranged the last shot, and the responsibility of the last shot was handed over to O'Neal, and Meme nested for a whole game, the last ball, but he relied on his height to limit O'Neal, and in four seconds, O'Neal had no way to squeeze into the inside line to shoot, so he could only hand the ball to Wade on the outside, Wade forced a shot in front of Jiang Yang, but Jiang Yang blocked Wade with his height! When Jiang Yang threw the ball thrown by Wade like a volleyball!
The audience booed, and the bell that represented the end of the game officially rang! Lakers 95-94, won!
"Winning, great! Oooh! Luke Wharton on the sidelines screamed for the first time, and Kobe Bryant kept waving his fists on the court, as for the Heat players, their faces were quite good-looking, especially O'Neal.
This guy has dominated the league for so many years, but sometimes he is like a child, he has to compete for a high level in everything, he and Kobe Bryant can never become friends, and narrowly beat the Lakers in overtime last year.
And this year's Heat actually lost to the Lakers, in addition to Kobe, the one named Jiang Yang has become an unstable factor on the court!
"This game is very intense, but the appearance of this player named Jiang Yang really disturbed the original layout of the Heat, whether it is Wade or Jason Williams today, the score is good, one scored 18 points, the other scored 14 points, it looks like Jiang Yang played, and there was no restriction on the other party, but you have to look at their shooting percentage, Wade shot 5 of 16 from the field and the shooting rate was less than 30%, Jason Williams was 3 of 11 shots when he was under Jiang Yang's defense, and then after the fourth quarter came on the court, I hit two shots, and now I'm 5 of 14 shots, and I've finally increased my shooting percentage to more than 30%! But the defensive ability of this guy named Jiang Yang is really strong! Especially for those players who don't have the ability to shoot from a distance, the lethality is huge! On the sideline TNT commentary booth, Kenny Smith, who looked quite young, commented on the game.
"Although I don't like Chinese players, but this person named Jiang Yang, the defense is really good, and he is definitely more prominent among the small characters, just like the one that the Rockets got from the Grizzlies this year, Sean Battier, but his defense, not as Jiang Yang is so aggressive, the referee may not have seen it just now, but I saw it very real, Jiang Yang pinched Wade quite hard, this guy can't help but remind me of a person...... Someone who is quite annoying to the players right now! ”
"Bowen!" Kenny Smith, of course, knew who his partner Charles Buckley was talking about, and couldn't help but laugh and shout.
"Haha, that's what you said, it has nothing to do with me!" Hearing Kenny Smith say the man's name, Charles Barkley couldn't help but laugh, Bowen is indeed a name that shouldn't be mentioned in the league...... The scores for both teams today are as follows, with the home team scoring the most points coming off the bench Gary Payton with 21 points. shot 9 of 11 from the field, even Kobe Bryant had no way to restrain this old guy, this old guy is proving himself!
Among the starters, the fashionable Neal had 18 points and 17 rebounds in the game, although it was a big double-double, but none of them were in the twenties, and Jason Williams completely focused on the offense today, scoring 14 points but only 3 assists.
Wade had 18 points and five assists and didn't play very well, with Haslem scoring five points and James Posey scoring just eight points.
Although it doesn't look good, after all, there are four people in the Heat who scored doubles! Look at the Lakers' side, the highest score in the game is also the MVP of the game, Kobe Bryant, who scored 37 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, which is very comprehensive.
Got this MVP, it can be said that it deserves its real name! The starting point guard Jiang Yang got 21 points and 9 assists, and he didn't get the tenth assist until he died, except for the two of them, only one person scored a double-double, Odom, 14 points and 16 rebounds in the game, and the rebounds were not less, but the points were really not much...... None of them scored in double figures except for the three of them.
"I was very surprised by Jiang Yang's appearance today, I know his strength very well, so I am very relieved to let Jiang Yang play!" In his post-game press conference, Phil Jackson happily answered questions from reporters.
"Jiang's level is good, if he plays well, we will go further this year!" Kobe's answer is also beneficial to Jiang Yang, and now he has indeed changed his opinion of Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang's strength suddenly gives him the confidence to impact the playoffs.
Jiang Yang + Kobe + Odom, the names of these three people have become a triangle in the minds of these reporters at this time!
