Chapter 186: The Resurrected Jiang Yang
Looking at the people who retreated back in front of him, Jiang Yang slowly dribbled the ball, Rondo watched Jiang Yang dribble past half the court, and didn't care about Jiang Yang asking for the ball, now Jiang Yang's feeling is back, then let him play, if he cuts off his feeling at this time, who knows when he will come back next time, there is no one in the Celtics, who specializes in doing things that harm others and are not beneficial to themselves.
Looking at Vince Carter in front of him, Jiang Yang smiled, Carter's defense ...... Belch...... How to say that?
Vince Carter, a half-human demigod, at the peak of his youth, belonged to slam dunks who were furious with both mind and body.
When I was young, once the ball was broken, I could immediately see the audience standing up collectively, and the favorite stage in the game was inyoueface. In countless interior lines, such as Mourning, Mutombo, Ratliff, Ben Wallace and others, you can find content about it, and it directly led to the French seven-foot man quitting the basketball world, which is the dunk that leaped over the French center! Due to injuries, the whimsical slam dunk in 00 is currently simple, but the outside projection ability is increasing rapidly, when the Nets, the three-point shooting rate was as high as 42.5%, once shot nine out of ten in a single quarter, and the breakthrough ability is also excellent, and has always been known for its quick first step, such as practicing 360-degree layups from now on, making the enemy's interior defense miserable.
The level of ability to make fouls has been directly upgraded from the ** to make fouls when he was young, and he has been directly upgraded to make fouls in technical flow, passing the ball has always been one of his strengths, and he can often gain insight into teammates lurking outside the three-point line, and he lost no time in passing the ball, and when he was a teammate with Kidd when he was in the Nets, he naturally got Kidd's help, and the pass may be quite strong! The number of assists has increased significantly.
When it comes to Carter's offense, especially slam dunks, even Jordan has to give a thumbs up, but if you talk about his defense.
This has always been one of Jordan's biggest weaknesses that ridiculed him, since he entered the league, he has not been in the All-Defensive Team, arguably, this is the biggest stain on Carter's life, and if he does not enter the Hall of Fame in the future, this is one of the reasons.
In the face of Carter's offense, Jiang Yang was under a lot of pressure, but in the face of Carter's defense, Jiang Yang had almost no pressure.
Dribbled directly and rushed into the inner line, Carter watched Jiang Yang rush over, although he also wanted to come over to defend Jiang Yang, but Jiang Yang's speed and strength were no weaker than the old Carter, and he wiped it directly from Carter's side.
Defending is more often an attitude than a technique! It's like Kobe Bryant likes to use Battier's eye-blocking tactics, but he always shoots the opponent's face, technically Kobe has no advantage, but his attitude is absolutely correct.
That's one of the reasons why he's on the league's best defensive team over the years! And Carter, it is this attitude that is missing.
When he first entered the Magic, Carter also had a good attitude, but now he is a little slack! Zhengfa was caught by Jiang Yang.
After Jiang Yang caught the loophole in Carter's defense, he rushed directly into the inner line, watching Jiang Yang rush to the inside line, Howard on the inside line made up for it for the first time, pressed Jiang Yang, and faced Howard Jiang Yang was very calm, in the first few games, the roughness in his heart had disappeared, watching Howard rush over, Jiang Yang's afterglow saw Perkins on the inside, Pierce on the outside, Ray Allen and Rondo on the other side, his brain began to spin, how to play this ball is the most likely to score.
In the end, when Jiang Yang came out of Howard's defense, he directly handed the ball to Rondo on the other side.
After Rondo received the ball, there was no one to defend in front of him at this time, so what was polite? In order to be stable, Rondo directly hit the board into the basket, and did not choose to shoot hollow baskets that he is not good at, which is easier for pitchers to shoot hollow.
But for players who are not too good at shooting, it is easier to score goals by hitting the small white box on the rebound!
94-91, the Celtics stretched the score to three points at a critical moment! The Magic, for their part, had to ask for a timeout.
After the timeout came back, the Magic team began to arrange the offense, and Carter was still holding the ball, but it is not easy for Carter to rush past Jiang Yang's defense now, if he plays strongly, it is possible to score, but the shooting rate will definitely be affected.
Thinking about the words of Magic coach Stan Van Gundy before starting, Carter hesitated and didn't attack himself.
Instead, they gave the ball to J.J. Redick, and now it's Rondo who defends J.J. Redick, and they replaced Nelson.
In this way, there is an obvious misalignment, and Rondo's defense is good, shooting defense, and breaking defense are good.
But after all, he is only 185 cm, while JJ Reddick is 193 cm, and this 8 cm height determines everything at this time!
Reddick jumped right in front of Rondo, and then, in his surprised gaze, threw the basketball, and the basketball flew into the basket with a spinning line, three points! With 23 seconds left in the game, the Celtics were tied with Redick's three-pointer!
At this time, the Celtics still have one last chance to attack, if they score, they will kill the opponent, and if they don't score, they will play overtime.
Of course, it is also possible that the Magic team will play foul tactics, but looking at the meaning of Stan Van Gundy, he doesn't seem to have the intention of fouling, after all, the sidelines are now tied, and the Celtics have another away game tomorrow, if overtime is played, it is the Celtics who will suffer, not their Magic team, looking at the instructions of Doug Rivers on the sidelines, Jiang Yang nodded.
Because this ball has to grind time, the Celtics did not call a timeout, because Rondo's height is limited, and the opponent adopts a full-court pressing defense, so Jiang Yang came to the backcourt to get the ball, faced Carter, and slowly advanced into the halfcourt.
When the referee was about to count eight, Jiang Yang passed half time and did not violate the rules, and then he began to grind the time.
The matter of grinding time is the same in anyone's hands, and at the same time, Jiang Yang is also arranging the last ball in his mind.
"Tactic Three!" Looking at Jiang Yang hesitated, after looking at Doug Rivers on the sidelines, the three fingers that were erected, the Celtics and the Magic team were stunned, and the Celtics looked at Rondo, not because they didn't implement this tactic, but because Rondo is the point guard on the court now, but Rondo also knew that Jiang Yang was happy to play at the end today, so naturally it would not be a bad thing.
Immediately started running, he is now temporarily a shooting guard, and Jiang Yang is back in the point guard position.
Jiang Yang looked at his teammates who started to run, to be honest, Jiang Yang likes the feeling of the Celtics now, if it weren't for the fact that he really can't make money here, and he doesn't have enough playing time, he likes to stay here.
However, it may have been doomed, Jiang Yang will not stay here for long, according to Jiang Yang's estimate, the longest will be the end of this season.
"I don't want to, I'll talk about it then!" After cleaning up his mood, Jiang Yang saw that the time was almost over, and there were still six seconds left before the end of the game, Jiang Yang began to prepare to attack, the No. 3 tactic was similar to Jiang Yang's No. 3 tactic when he was in the Lakers, but because there was a gap between Perkins and O'Neal after all, it was changed to Parkins on the inside to contain Howard, and then Garnett was the main attacker, and Garnett beat Lewis, both in terms of height, strength, and technology.
Then Pierce pulled out and stood in the bottom corner, playing the role of Ray Allen, while Rondo, who did not have the ability to shoot three-pointers, was placed at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and his shooting was no, but the shooting at this distance was still relatively accurate.
Jiang Yang watched the players all set up, looked at the situation on the game, after a simple crotch dribble, Jiang Yang rushed towards Carter in front of him, Carter immediately lowered his center of gravity and came up, the ball just now, he could let Jiang Yang go because of an accident, but this ball is definitely not good! But just when he was about to collide with Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang flashed to the side.
Carter was stunned for a moment, then immediately followed, but as soon as he took two steps, he felt like he had hit something.
"Bang!" With a bang, Carter was really confused by the bang, and he looked up just in time to see Garnett's big smiling face.
"Fack!" Carter looked at Garnett's smile, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was blocked, so he immediately gave up Garnett and rushed into the interior to find Jiang Yang, and at this time, Jiang Yang was facing the biggest weakness of the Magic team, Rashad Lewis.
Lewis was very strong at the beginning, and it was known from the fact that he signed a contract of 100 million yuan, at least he was no worse than Joe Johnson now.
But the facts have also proved that he is a papier-mâché guy, after signing a big contract, the omnipotent three-point small forward who was in the supersonic at the beginning disappeared, and the data is also Wang Erxiao's New Year, and a year is not as good as a year! Fighting so far, thanks to the generosity of the boss of the magic team, otherwise he would have been cleared out long ago, looking at Lewis in front of him, Jiang Yang was not in a hurry to attack.
It wasn't until Carter behind him chased back that Jiang Yang smiled and saw the situation on the court, and Doug Rivers was happy.
"It seems that Jiang Yang has completely found his feelings!" Seeing Jiang Yang's appearance, Doug Rivers nodded with satisfaction, while Stan Van Gundy on the other side frowned, he always felt that Jiang Yang had some conspiracy?
With five seconds left in the game, Jiang Yang made a back pass and passed the basketball to Garnett, who made a shooting action after receiving the ball, which frightened Carter, who blocked it as soon as possible with his good bounce.
But Garnett suddenly switched to passing, hoisted the basketball directly into the inside, and gave Perkins, when Perkins received the ball, there were four seconds left in the game, and when he saw Perkins take the ball, Howard immediately defended it, and Perkins did not rush to attack, but passed the basketball to an inverted triangle, which happened to be thrown to Rondo, and when he saw Rondo receiving the ball there, Lewis immediately rushed over.
At the moment when Lewis rushed over, Jiang Yang was leaked out, and seeing Jiang Yang rushing into the inner line, Stan Van Gundy's beard suddenly rose, he was too familiar with this pass, and the final main point of attack was Jiang Yang!
"Guard against Jiang Yang, hurry up, guard against him!" Sure enough, according to what Stan Van Gundy said, after Rondo attracted Lewis, he directly passed the basketball into the inside line to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang and Rondo are both good passers, and Rondo's pass is more accurate and comfortable than Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang easily got the basketball, and at this time, Howard, who heard Stan Van Gundy's roar, rushed to Jiang Yang for the first time, lowered his center of gravity, and prepared to defend Jiang Yang, at this time there were still three seconds left before the end of the game.
Jiang He looked at Howard who was coming over and couldn't help but smile slightly, and with his right hand that received the ball, he gently sent the basketball down.
The basketball slammed directly into the floor between Howard's legs that had been split to lower his center of gravity, and then bounced off with a refraction.
Howard only felt the coldness in his crotch, and in the next second, the basketball was no longer in Jiang Yanghe's hand, and at this time, there was a sound of feet stepping on the floor behind him, Perkins received the basketball in the vacant position, at this time he had no time to adjust and hesitate, and threw the basketball directly to the basket, and when the basketball was still flying in the air, the bell for the end of the game had already sounded.
And after the basketball lightly smashed the rebound, he plunged into the basket! Looking at the score that jumped up, Jiang Yang was the first to jump, and the feeling of integrating into the team is back! Looking at Jiang Yang's final pass, all the Celtic players jumped up, this last ball, through the hands of four people, five passes, in the last second, scored by Perkins, although Stan Van Gundy has been doing replay movements, but he also knows that they lost this game.
Although it seems that Pierce has no role on the outside, in fact, his role is the greatest, and he has contained the best outside defense on the whole Magic team right now, Matt Barnes, because Barnes does not dare to let Pierce alone outside.
It was precisely because of the opponent's poor defense that the Celtics drilled a loophole at the last moment, and with Jiang Yang's pass at the last moment, everyone knew that Jiang Yang was back, and at this time, the small glass piece in Jiang Yang's pocket also vibrate, and Jiang Yang also knew that today's small glass piece shook twice, which means that he really broke through twice!
96-94, the Celtics defeated the Magic in the last second, giving the team a game win and three straight wins!
"What a lucky day!" In the post-game interview, Rashad Lewis, who scored a game-high 23 points, said to reporters helplessly that they had really tried their best today, he scored 23 points plus 8 rebounds on 8-of-13 shooting, which is already very powerful for Lewis, and on the other hand, Dwight Howard had 19 points and 10 rebounds in the game, such data has passed, but after all, today's monster is not powerful.
Jamil Nelson scored 12 points in the game, but only had 2 assists, and the current Magic team has almost no strings.
Vince Carter shot 2 of 13 from the field, and was only scored 6 points by Jiang Yang and Ray Allen, which was quite miserable!
Another Magic player who scored double-doubles was JJ Redick, who scored 11 points, and today, except for the final quarter, the Magic's three-point rain did not fall, which is also related to the Celtics' increasingly powerful defense.
On the Celtic side, the highest scorer was Ray Allen, who played 41 minutes, although he was replaced by Jiang Yang at the last moment due to physical exhaustion, but he was still very excited and won the title of the best ball of the game.
Paul Pearce scored 12 points in the game. Rondo had 11 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists and didn't have a double-double.
Garnett's performance today was not very good, only 6 points in the game, Perkins only scored 4 points in the game today, because his playing time was really limited, 5 fouls in the game, limited his playing time, but Rasheed Wallace, who played for him, scored 17 points, the second highest score on the team, Jiang Yang scored 10 points and 8 assists in the game, although the score was not high, but his feeling has slowly returned, especially the killer ball passed to Perkins at the last moment, which is quite powerful.
With a three-game winning streak, the Celtics ended their game against the Magic, and after a good night's rest in Orlando, they flew to Atlanta early the next morning, where they will meet the Hawks.
Playing the top four teams in the East for two consecutive games is not easy for the Celtics, in the face of the impact of the Hawks, a group of young people, in fact, Doug Rivers is ready for a failure, after all, the 82 games in the regular season are not all very important, and giving up some back-to-back games at critical moments can better let the team get rest without injury!
The so-called injuries, except for hard injuries, are basically tired, and this is something that Doug Rivers and these players know.
So in normal training and games, in addition to maintenance, you must also learn to relax during the game, learn to find opportunities to rest, like this back-to-back game, ask the Celtic players if they want to win, it must be to win.
But just because they want to win doesn't mean they can win, they really need to rest now, and everything depends on what happens on the field in the future.
But before that, the Celtics received a notice in advance, and this notice was about this year's Dallas All-Star Game.
In the 2009-2010 game, the list of starters and substitutes for the Dallas All-Star Game was officially announced on January 28th!
When Jiang Yang and the others got up the next day to go to the Eagles, the list of this year's batch had already been spread in newspapers and on the Internet.
And for the Celtics, there are still good things, the three big players in the Celtics will all participate in this year's All-Star!
Among the five people who started the game, in addition to Perkins, who was designated to be undrafted, Ray Allen was also unexpectedly defeated.
And the player who represents him as an All-Star is none other than Rajon Rondo, who will be playing alongside Pierce and Garnett.
