Chapter 176: The New 'Big Three'
"Oh...... Oh...... Oh! Is this Jiang Yang? Is this really Jiang Yang? It's amazing, Jiang Yang just made a layup, and after connecting the other three people, he dunked in front of Josh Smith, is this really Jiang Yang? Can the Chinese have such an explosive force? This game is still a national live broadcast done by TNT, Jiang Yang just came on the court, it was a violent dunk, igniting the audience at the same time, but also igniting Buckley and Kenny Smith off the court, looking at Jiang Yang who jumped off, he gently beat his chest, and the fans of the North Shore Garden Arena rioted and cheered loudly! And Jiang Yang couldn't help but be excited when he heard the enthusiastic cheers, and at the same time, Ray Allen and Pierce next to him also ran over as soon as possible.
Because Jiang Yang scored 2+1 and made free throws, it was impossible for the opponent to attack quickly at this time, and they had time to celebrate.
Doug Rivers also looked at Jiang Yang with his mouth wide open in surprise, he really didn't know that Jiang Yang still had such a side.
"Okay, boy, good fight! Played beautifully! Seeing Jiang Yang's goal, Pierce kept patting Jiang Yang's shoulder.
He never knew that Jiang Yang could still play so coolly, Jiang Yang used to dunk He knew, but Jiang Yang's dunks are usually dunked when no one is defending, when did he dare to dunk in front of Josh Smith, and he was so arrogant! It was very surprising to Pierce, after all, Jiang Yang was introduced into the team by Pierce, and now Jiang Yang is playing so well, his Pierce's face is also bright! has a very sharp outside three-point ability, can also connect the team, passes endlessly, and now even has the back of the dunk after the breakthrough, coupled with the Chinese market behind him, Doug Rivers feels that the current Jiang Yang is becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and it seems that Jiang Yang's current level is still rising in a straight line.
"If the Celtics don't sign him, they will definitely regret it!" Looking at Jiang Yang on the court, and then looking at Rondo on the sidelines, Doug Rivers is more and more sure that the Celtics' remaining annual salary really can't sign Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang will definitely not be willing to play as a substitute all the time! But now he's still a Celtic player, there's no doubt about that!
"While Jiang Yang is still here, let's set our goal at the championship!" Looking at Jiang Yang, Doug Rivers also waved his hand, which was considered to be celebrating for him, and at this time, in the imperial court, he also began to praise Jiang Yang, the praised Jiang Yang was not in the sky, there was only one on the ground, Jiang Yang instantly became one of the super guards in the league, and the fans who watched the live broadcast of this game were also very excited, Jiang Yang is now getting sharper and sharper, and more people began to fantasize about it, if Jiang Yang is with Yao Ming...... Of course, this is just a fantasy, Yao Ming has determined that he can't play this season, and he can't play in the next World Championships, but he can't expect Yao Ming, and there's nothing wrong with looking forward to Jiang Yang, the current Jiang Yang is the pride of China.
At this time, after Jiang Yang also finished celebrating with his teammates, he came to the free throw line and prepared to make free throws!
Jiang Yang is a guard, there is no possibility that he can't get free throws, and the basketball hits accurately, and the morale of the Celtics is like a rainbow at the beginning! And at this time, Joe Johnson on the Hawks' side also stepped up, he is the boss of the team, since the Celtics have beaten the Hawks to low morale, he has the responsibility to save the morale again! Joe Johnson hit a two-pointer after breaking through first, Ray Allen didn't play well defending Joe Johnson, and then Joe Johnson hit another three-pointer to score five straight points.
But this time Jiang Yang immediately passed to Scala Blanei, the latter hit a three-point shot, Pierce also hit a shot, Mike Bibby faced Jiang Yang, hit a long shot, Jiang Yang's defense breakthrough is very sharp, but the defense of long shots is a little bit not good.
After all, his experience is limited, Jiang Yang is sometimes shaken up by the other party, and he is a little unsure of the feints on the outside.
In the first half of the quarter, the Celtics led the Hawks by three points at 16-14! And in the second half, the Celtics began to take the initiative!
Ray Allen, Pierce and Jiang Yang each hit a three-pointer, and Glen Davis, who came off the bench, also made a shot inside with Jiang Yang's assist, and the Hawks lost to the opponent 21-31 at the end of the first quarter.
Jiang Yang scored 8 points and 4 assists in this quarter of the game, among the 8 points, in addition to the opening three-pointer, the three-point in the second half, there is also a mid-range shot, this mid-range shot is to bully Mike Bibby for being short in height, and Jiang Yang, who bullied Wade in the copy and bullied out of confidence, in this game, he showed his strong offensive talent.
At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Hawks' benches didn't play much, after the opening, Glenn Davis hit a shot, Sheldon Williams hit a layup, the Celtics continued to open the score, but then the Celtics' offense had no one to play, the Hawks slowly pulled into the score, first Marvin Williams scored two points on two free throws, and then he hit a shot, helping the Hawks narrow the score to 10 points at 25-35 with 8 minutes and 35 seconds left in the game.
However, with eight minutes and sixteen seconds left in the game, Marvin Williams grabbed the offensive basket with his height advantage on the inside, Glenn Davis fouled him, and the opponent cheated a foul after hitting the ball and got a 2+1!
Now the height of the Celtics' bench is indeed a huge disadvantage, Eddie House is 185 cm, Tony Allen is 193 cm opposite Marvin Williams, the height of a guard, the big baby Glen Davis is 206 cm, the same as Marvin Williams, and Sheldon Williams on the inside is also only 206 cm tall, the height of the inside line is a huge gap, no wonder the opponent grabbed the frontcourt rebound, but fortunately, Ray Allen, who was still on the court, broke through and hit a layup.
Stretched the score from seven points narrowed by him to nine points! However, Joe Johnson, who had just come on the court, immediately received an assist from Josh Smith and hit a three-point shot to narrow the score to just six points! This is when Josh Smith was technically fouled.
also gave the Celtics the opportunity to substitute on the court, Brian Scalablaney replaced Glenn Davis, and Jiang Yang also came on the court, replacing Eddie House, Jiang Yang executed a thermonuclear foul free throw on the court, and hit accurately!
Then in the face of Jamal Crawford, who had almost no defense, he directly broke through to the basket, and it was another violent dunk!
After Jiang Yang scored three points in a row, he helped the Celtics once again stretch the score to a nine-point difference, and then Brian Scala Blanei received a pass from Jiang Yang after breaking through on the outside, and hit a three-point shot from the outside!
He only scored six points today, and it was those two three-pointers that brought him! Watch Celtic's side score another three points.
Joe Johnson also hit a three-pointer and clung to the score, but don't forget that Jiang Yang is also an outside master.
Kicking off again, the ball was handed over to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang slowly dribbled past half the court, looking at Mike Bibby who was defending himself in front of him, Jiang Yang couldn't help but smile, there was no good way to face Mike Bibi three days ago.
Because this guy's physical fitness is better than his own, although Mike Bibby's body is only in the middle of the league.
But that also has an A-level level, Jiang Yang was still A- three days ago, so naturally there is no way to compete with Mike Bibi.
But now Jiang Yang's physical fitness is A+, and he jumps two levels in a row in three days, just with these two levels, Jiang Yang can bully him now! And not be bullied by him! Feeling Jiang Yang's strength getting stronger and stronger, Mike Bibby can't prevent Jiang Yang now.
"I'm going to break through!" Looking at Mike Bibby in front of him, Jiang Yang changed the way he changed the amount of play to avoid physical contact three days ago, and said to Mike Bibi with a smile, Jiang Yang, who has never been bullied, is hard to imagine that he will still bully others one day!
"Humph!" Mike Bibby looked at Jiang Yang, after all, he was old, and the original white devil could only use a cold snort to face Jiang Yang's young man's body suppression, although he was unwilling, but this was the heavenly cycle in the NBA.
"I thought I had bullied those old guys like this at the beginning, but I didn't expect that feng shui would take turns, and it would be my turn today!" In the face of Jiang Yang's strong physical contact, Mike Bibby could only sigh helplessly! Jiang Yang handed the ball with his right hand, dribbled directly and rushed towards Mike Bibi's side, although Mike Bibi knew that his body was no longer as good as Jiang Yang, but he still appeared in front of Jiang Yang one step in advance, wanting to prevent Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang also actively looked for Mike Bibi's body contact as he said, and his right shoulder was directly on the opponent's chest, and with a little force, Mike Bibi stepped back.
Seeing that the opponent's center of gravity was off, Jiang Yang stopped the ball directly, and then there was that leisure and time, and returned to the three-point line, under the gaze of Mike Bibby, he jumped high and sent the basketball out, and the three-point shot was very accurate! The score gap continues to widen! Looking at this ball, Mike Bibby couldn't do anything at all, he had been deviated by Jiang Yang's center of gravity at this time.
Even if he wanted to defend Jiang Yang, he had no choice, so he could only watch Jiang Yang hit three points! And then Tony Allen and Jiang Yang on the court cooperated, Jiang Yang hit a jumper and scored two more points, and in two minutes, Jiang Yang had already scored 8 points!
Whether it is Crawford or Mike Bibby, it is not easy to defend Jiang Yang, after the Hawks think about it, they began to focus on the inside, they take Jiang Yang on the outside, Pierce and Ray Allen have no way, it does not mean that their interior line has no way, Josh Smith, facing his Scalablanei, is like beating a child.
After dribbling directly, he broke through the opponent's defense, rushed into the inside, and used a violent buckle in his hand.
The difference between Jiang Yang and 14 points has been narrowed to 12 points again, but it is still outside 10 points!
Although the Hawks are very comfortable playing inside, when it comes to the outside, the Celtics are even more comfortable.
With 3:04 left in the game, Jiang Yang assisted to replace Paul Pierce on the court with Tony Allen, who hit a mid-range shot and added two more points to the Celtics, and the difference remained at a height of 14 points, while the only thing that the Hawks could trust was Joe Johnson, who was a little careless when facing Ray Allen and was stealed by Ray Allen.
But when the two were fighting for basketball, Ray Allen was a little anxious and accidentally fouled the opponent to the free throw line.
After two free throws and two hits, Jiang Yang deliberately passed the ball to Ray Allen for a single, and Ray Allen played really comfortably today.
Although Joe Johnson has a way to beat Ray Allen, but there is no way to completely prevent him, after Ray Allen broke through the opponent, a stop-and-go shot, chasing the score back again, and the opponent's Al Horford also hit a jump shot one step away from the three-point line, there is no way, he really has no touch today, and on the inside, Perkins' defense today is specifically staring at him! In the last game, Perkins was brutalized by the opponent on the inside, and today he is here to take revenge!
And Al Hoford was really a little stunned in the face of Perkins, and missed shots one after another.
This two-point shot was the first two-point shot he hit today, but when he came back, Ray Allen made a match with Pierce, and Ray Allen broke through and passed Pierce on the outside, who hit a three-point shot, and the difference continued to widen!
And Al Hoverd also found that Perkins couldn't defend it, and took advantage of his hot hand to hit another jumper.
Then the scores on both sides were very tight, Pierce hit a three-point shot on this side, and Horford hit a basket on that side.
The difference has always been like this, and it has not opened up or narrowed! At the last moment, Jiang Yang's three-point miss ended, and the second quarter of the game ended.
At halftime, the Celtics led by 11 points at 57-46 heading into the third quarter.
Jiang Yang's half-time game, 16 points plus 7 assists are extremely dazzling, except for the Eagles' Joe Johnson, no one has scored as much as Jiang Yang, but Jiang Yang's assists are still 7! Naturally, Jiang Yang became the best player in the half of this game, and when Miller's sister interviewed him, Jiang Yang was still very official, and only said that the team could take the lead was the credit of other players, and he just did his part, showing his low-key nature.
"Well done! Continue to work hard in the second half, Jiang Yang's hand is relatively stable, Jiang, if you feel that you should shoot, shoot, don't worry about the right to shoot, I will give you the right to fire freely in the second half! After returning to the locker room, Doug Rivers is very happy about Jiang Yang's current changes, and after Jiang Yang has made a breakthrough, his status will also skyrocket.
No matter how good the pitcher is, there are times when he feels bad, and only the pitcher who can score inside when he has a bad hand is a good pitcher, just like Ray Allen was a dunk when he first entered the league! While a three-pointer from the outside can go a short shot, there really isn't anyone other than those who play fast break who wants their team to do the same.
It's unforgivable not to score when it's critical! But now that Jiang Yang is playing better and better, Doug Rivers also has some worries in his heart, originally Jiang Yang's identity was worth four million a year, and now Jiang Yang is playing so well, it is estimated that this identity will rise, the higher Jiang Yang's salary, the less chance the Celtics will have to sign Jiang Yang next season.
"Hey, it's not the time to think about this, now it's all about the game!" Shaking his head, Doug Rivers shook away the unhappiness in his heart, then looked at the players in the locker room in front of him, and began to talk about the tactics of the second half!
"There is Jiang, there is Ray, there is Paul, the Celtics have no worries in the backcourt!" At this time, in the studio of the imperial court station, Director Zhang looked at the first half, and the performance of the three couldn't help but praise that in the first half of the game, Jiang Yang scored 16 points, Pierce scored 13 points, Ray Allen scored 7 points, and the three of them together have scored 36 points, which is much more than half of the Celtics' entire team.
"If we wait for Garut and Rondo to come back in the future, the Celtics' combat power will be unprecedentedly strong!" Sun Zhengping, who has always pretended to be a student, can't help but sigh that the current Celtics at least seem to be invincible.
"Yes, as long as the Celtics maintain their physical strength and don't get injured, then this year's championship, I'm still optimistic about the Celtics!" Director Zhang made a rare prediction, in fact, now not only him, but many people are optimistic about the Celtics.
It can be said that it is because of Jiang Yang that the Celtics have changed the Celtics, originally a month ago, the Celtics' call to win the championship has been suppressed by the Lakers and the Cavaliers, and now, the Celtics' call to win the championship suddenly rose up, Jiang Yang accounted for a huge factor, and Jiang Yang's own strength is also rising in a straight line, before this game, Jiang Yang's call to win this year's best rookie has been ranked fourth, it is estimated that after this game, Jiang Yang's call can enter the top three.
After all, Jiang Yang's biggest weakness now, no interior offense, has been solved in this game, and Jennings, Curry and Evans all feel so stressed for a while! At the beginning of the third quarter, Ray Allen, who didn't make much use in the first half, got a ball from Jiang Yang's hand, and then caught the ball and threw it, and hit a three-point shot in front of Joe Johnson.
While turning his score into 10 points, he also stretched the score difference to 14 points!
Joe Johnson here was also not to be outdone, hitting a shot with an assist from Mike Bibby to bite the score!
However, in the next offensive round, Jiang Yang once again rushed into the interior with his body, and then passed inside, handed the ball to Perkins, and Perkins made a layup, at this time Al Hoford, who had been attracted by Jiang Yang, could only watch Perkins hit a layup.
While Jiang Yang's assists reached 9, the Celtics also scored 62 points and continued to lead the opponent by 14 points!
And when there were 9 minutes and 52 seconds left in the third quarter of the game, Jiang Yang found his tenth assist on Perkins's body, and it was still the same inside pass and internal cooperation, Perkins made a layup, and Jiang Yang's assists also reached ten!
With 16 points and 10 assists, Jiang Yang has already won a double-double in advance! And the difference between the two teams has also widened to as many as 16 points!
