Chapter 120: Jiang Yang's defensive ability
At the beginning of the third quarter, both sides were mainly attacking with the main players, and Iguodala received an assist from Jrue Holiday in the opening game, and then Thaddeus Young received an assist from Iguodala and hit a layup.
Fortunately, Ray Allen immediately hit a shot to maintain the score, and the score on both sides was in a stalemate again, and it was not until four minutes into the game that the Celtics relied on a wave of attack to overtake the score.
stopped the opponent 59-56, and after the 76ers timeout, they immediately replaced Jason Capono, and the Celtics also changed Jiang Yang to the court, and the lineup on the court changed at this time.
After Jason Smith went off the court, Thaddeus Young was on the top of the big forward position, while Capono was on the small forward, Iguodala continued to play as a scoring guard, Jiang Yang came on the court to replace Ray Allen, although he was a scoring guard, but in defense, he came to defend Kapono, the game continued, Capono just came on the court, and he may feel quite hot.
So just after halftime, Zhu Holiday wanted to give him the ball to play, but just after half of the court, Jiang Yang pounced and directly cut off Zhu Holiday's passing route, defense is an attitude, and now Jiang Yang's attitude is quite good! Two long arms, constantly waving, cut off all the opponent's offensive routes.
If Capono is an all-round player, maybe he really doesn't scare Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang comes to defend, then he just breaks through, but is he? The answer is no, Capono will break through, and the five big ones will grow up.
A person who can only shoot basketballs, as long as he restricts his shooting and keeps staring at him closely, everything is OK.
In the end, it was Jrue Holiday himself, a layup, very outrageous, Jrue Holiday is indeed a very talented player, but now he has not fully developed this talent, to put it mildly, now he is given for nothing, Kendrick Perkins directly took off the defensive rebound, and then handed it to Rondo.
Rondo dribbled past half court and did not give the ball to Jiang Yang, because Jiang Yang is not the team's offensive point now.
The main purpose of his play is to defend Kapono, and the others are floating clouds, and now the team only needs him to defend, and he does not need to attack, so Rondo directly ignores Jiang Yang, and it is Iguodala who defends Jiang Yang, in fact, even if he gives the ball to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang cannot score, who is Iguodala, known as the most balanced player in the league.
After a simple combination, Rondo handed the ball to Perkins on the inside, who was indeed too big.
He didn't even look at Daim Potter in front of him and rushed straight over, and Daim Potter was lightly touched and fell to the ground.
Offensive fouls, there's nothing to say about this, so Perkins handed back the offensive opportunity to the 76ers.
And in the next offense, seeing that Capono really didn't have a good position, Jrue Holiday began to focus on his big man Iguodala, who hit a three-pointer directly from 23 feet outside the three-point line.
Pierce, who defended him, could only shake his head helplessly, but then, Pierce received a pass from Rondo, pulled back a city, and time passed minute by minute, the two sides fought from 61-61, to 65-65, and then to 68-68, the score has not been opened, Jiang Yang's defense is very inverted, and today he has completely given up his attack and passing.
staring at Kapono wholeheartedly, Kapono has already let Jiang Yang keep an eye on Mao, and there is really no way to attack.
Even if he occasionally receives the ball, it is difficult to find a chance to shoot, and in the third quarter he took three shots and did not score once, which is really an ugly result, but he can't get in, it doesn't mean that others can't get in.
Willie Green stepped up at a critical moment and made a three-point shot to take his score to nine.
With less than three minutes left in the game, the score was reversed to 73-72.
The Celtics had to take a timeout, and after the timeout came back, the tug-of-war between the two teams lasted only a minute.
At 2:02, the Celtics tied the score at 75-75, and Garnett made a mid-range shot to put the score in the lead.
But in less than 30 seconds, Willie Green rushed into the interior and caused a foul on Daniels, who had just replaced Ray Allen, and made two free throws to tie the game at 77, and 15 seconds later, the 76ers came back and Willie Green broke through again.
Daniels' offense is good, but his defense is terrible, and you think about how good a player who slips through the game a lot, how good his defense can be, and how well he can get into the NBA, it's all because of his ineffective offense at that time.
Seeing Willie Green break through, Jiang Yang scolded secretly, and immediately rushed over to help defend, there was no way, he couldn't watch Willie Green score a layup, and just when Jiang Yang thought he wanted to defend it, Willie Green passed the basketball to the outside, and Capono, who had frozen Jiang Yang for six minutes, finally found an opportunity and threw out a two-point shot.
And Daniels, who was lacking in heart, actually fouled again...... 2+1, the Celtics had to watch Capono stand at the free throw line, Jiang Yang really can't be blamed for this ball, Daniels's problem of slipping in the game is indeed too serious.
For an outside shooter, it would be a shame not to make a free throw, and with free throws, the 76ers led the Celtics 80-77, and it wasn't over yet, with 50 seconds left in the game, Capono returned the favor, and after receiving the ball, he didn't attack himself, but handed it to Willie Green, who hit a three-point shot.
In fact, Capono doesn't want to pass the ball, but Jiang Yang's marking is too dead, he has already recognized it, and he won't let Cappono say anything today, and without Capono the other party has Willie Green, a small strongman, and the three-point shot is still accurate.
At this time, Willie Green had already scored as many as 16 points, and at the critical moment, the sixth man on the Green Army's side, Eddie House, broke through with the ball, causing Roy Ivey's foul, standing on the free throw line, two free throws and two hits, which finally made the Celtics score points, but Willie Green continued to wield, and Daniels had no way to keep an eye on the guy in front of him.
Another pull-up jump shot after a breakaway shook Daniels completely away with a simple mid-range shot.
6 points, this game has been played so far, the largest point difference between the Celtics and the 76ers, looking at the situation on the court, Jiang Yang couldn't help but sigh, it seems that the current Celtics are really back, at this time there are 29 seconds left before the end of the game, Jiang Yang hesitated for a moment, and decided to let himself try this ball.
After halftime, Jiang Yang did not run to the side to share the pressure of the attacking players as before.
Instead, he stood next to him and beckoned to Eddie House in the distance, who hesitated, but after Jiang Yang's performance in the first four games, Eddie House still passed the ball to Jiang Yang and let Jiang Yang take the lead in attacking the ball.
After Jiang Yang received the ball, the player he faced was Capono, the player who was Cappano, in addition to three points, the rest of the skills, hey, I don't know what to say, his defense is useless for other players.
And for Jiang Yang, it is not difficult to break through him! Jiang Yang secretly shouted, the ball was handed over to his right hand, and he broke through directly to the left side of Capo, as soon as Capono's center of gravity shifted, Jiang Yang turned around and handed the ball to his left hand, forcing the opponent's right, Marbury's dribbling, and the way of basketball on the street.
Although the practical surname on the playing field is only equivalent to the B level, its fancy, is definitely not low.
Seeing Jiang Yang's movements, Capono snorted secretly, and immediately adjusted his center of gravity to ...... to the right But it turns out that his defensive ability and the balance of the center of gravity are really poor, Capono was careless, stumbled under his feet, and fell down directly, while Jiang Yang had time to take a step back, came to the three-point line, and aimed for a long time before pushing the basketball out of his hand, the basketball had no time to hesitate, and plunged into the basket, 85-82, Jiang Yang's three-point shot helped the Celtics lose only three points, and at this time there were only 6 seconds left before the end of the third quarter. Needless to say, these six seconds are also the 76ers, under the pull of his teammates, Capono sat up from the ground with an unhappy face, and was shaken down, in this basketball court, it is the most humiliating way for outside players.
There are many ways to be ashamed, riding buckles, bukkake, and the shaking of them is the most ornamental.
Capono can foresee that this goal will score five best today, and he is the best supporting role!
Thinking of this, Capono was angry, looking at Jiang Yang in front of him, his eyes were about to erupt.
If the eyes can kill, then now Capono has been shot several times back and forth, and Iye Ivey next to him has a look, Evie knows that Capono is ready to take revenge, for him, the most bullish sixth man on the bench now is Capono, he has unlimited fire rights on the outside, since he has asked for the ball now, then it is impossible not to give, Ivey passed the basketball to Capono in front of Eddie House after half time.
As soon as Capono picked up the basketball, Jiang Yang posted it, opened his arms, and kept waving, looking at Jiang Yang's defense, Canono's anger was nowhere to spill, seeing that there was only the last second left in the time, he had to fight, and he wanted to buk-shoot Jiang Yang when he jumped high on the outside, but Jiang Yang was so easy to bully? Jiang Yang, whose mental power has always been highly concentrated, sneered, although Jiang Yang's physical fitness and bounce are not very good, but it is no problem to bully Kapono.
"Yo he, you really dare to vote!" Jiang Yang looked at the Capono in front of him and jumped up, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
This guy looks down on himself, or does he look down on himself, and he looks down on himself...... With this in mind, Jiang Yang jumped up directly, and Jiang Yang was still very confident in Capono's ball!
Especially when he knew where he was going to shoot, Jiang Yang jumped up high and slapped the basketball that Capono had just left flying away, "Squeak! At this time, the bell that represented the end of the third quarter also rang.
"Ding......" Jiang Yang only felt a shock in his trouser pocket, and a powerful defensive idea instantly invaded Jiang Yang's mind, Jiang Yang didn't even need to look at his small glass piece to know that his defense must have been upgraded.
"I didn't expect that the defense in this quarter of the game could make my defensive skills break through, it's so worthwhile!" Feeling his more and more powerful hands, Jiang Yang couldn't help laughing, but his teammates didn't have time to care whether Jiang Yang smiled or not, they all rushed over and patted Jiang Yang's shoulder and ass hard, Jiang Yang's last moment of a three-pointer, a block, is really handsome, if it weren't for Jiang Yang, the Celtics would not have been able to enter the final quarter with 82-85 only three points behind the 76ers, there are different concepts between three points and six points, there are several scores in the NBA that are the most difficult to chase, 1 point, Psychological advantage, losing one point is the same as losing a hundred points, and 4 points means that there is no way to tie an attack. 8 points, which means that there is a problem with his own offense, 10 points, the difference is double, not to mention.
can enter the final quarter with three points, Doug Rivers is still relatively satisfied, who doesn't know that the last quarter of the Green Army is the strongest, the famous slow-heating team in the league is their Celtics.
"Jiang Yang's last shot in the third quarter was very useful, not only to recover three points, but also to boost the morale of the Celtics, in the fourth quarter of the game, it is foreseeable that the Celtics' initial offense must be very tough!" Jeff Van Gundy on the sideline ESPN commentary bench now likes Jiang Yang more and more, although Jiang Yang's level is not high.
But Jiang Yang's attitude is very good, a player's talent determines the height of this player, and a player's attitude determines the time that this player survives in the league, anyone who can play until he is thirty-six or seventy years old, is a player with a very good attitude, those talented players, when their talent is wasted, they are just a waste person.
As Jeff Van Gundy said, the fourth quarter of the game, as soon as it began, the Celtics began to exert their power.
Because Jiang Yang played eight minutes on the court in the third quarter and played three positions, the main players had plenty of time to rest, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Celtics directly beat the opponent with a 21-6 attack wave.
With 6:11 left in the game, leading by as many as 12 points at 103-91, Eddie House, Pierce and Laverd Wallace all scored three-pointers, while Rondo was more comprehensive, scoring six straight points in one minute.
This wave of attacks swept away the Celtics' decline in the first three quarters, but they couldn't control the situation.
Because the young players on the 76ers' side are afraid of everything, they are not afraid of headwinds, these young people will not easily admit defeat, and with 1 minute and 29 seconds left in the game, Iguodala hit two free throws, and the 76ers chased the score to 105-107.
Doug Rivers had to call a timeout, and after the timeout came back, Jiang Yang came on the court again, and he still had to keep an eye on Capono, but in addition, Doug Rivers was also ready to let Jiang Yang attack, Jiang Yang's ability to have a big heart at a critical moment, in Doug Rivers' view, this is Jiang Yang's most admirable place.
Rondo's missed shot gave the 76ers a chance to equalize, and this time the opponent still trusted Capono.
And Jiang Yang, who was originally a B-level defense, can deal with Capono, not to mention Jiang Yang, who has now been promoted to B+.
At the moment when the opponent passed the ball, Jiang Yang directly stabbed the basketball in Capono's hand, and then ran wildly after receiving the ball, which proved that Jiang Yang's speed was ...... Belch...... It's really slow enough, just reached the three-point line, Iguodala, who was at least three positions away from him, had already caught up, and in the face of Iguodala, Jiang Yang couldn't shake him off with his skills, so at this time Jiang Yang decided to pass the ball, a simple back pass, and handed it to Ray Allen, who was following him.
However, it is a pity that Ray Allen's layup also did not score, wasting a very perfect assist for Jiang Yang.
"I'm sorry!" The empty basket didn't go up, which made Ray Allen feel not very good, and waved his hand slightly apologetically at Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang couldn't say anything, just shrugged his shoulders, but fortunately, in the next offense, the 76ers made another mistake.
With Jiang Yang guarding Capo, no one dared to pass the ball to him, after all, he had wasted n more opportunities in him.
So Iguodala came on his own, and Ray Allen, who didn't score on the empty basket just now, made up for it, and after making an offensive foul on Iguodala, the ball returned to the Celtics again, and Rondo didn't waste the opportunity this time.
He hit a turnaround jumper near the free-throw line to give him a four-point lead, and with just 9.6 seconds left before the end of the game, Iguodala burst into character and dribbled past halftime with a three-point shot.
chased the score to one point, and at this time there were only 6 seconds left before the end of the game, if the Celtics were allowed to dribble, the 76ers would also lose, so the 76ers adopted foul tactics, after the ball was sent, they first found Rondo, and then Rondo gave it to Jiang Yang before the opponent passed, and Jiang Yang immediately passed it to Ray Allen, and here in Ray Allen, he was caught by the opponent's Igda and directly sent Ray Allen to the free throw line.
Easy two free throws and two hits, the score is still three points! At this time, the 76ers only had 3.3 seconds left to attack.
However, the Celtics were obviously not ready to give them a chance to attack, and they also adopted foul tactics, this time it was Jiang Yang who fouled Jiang Yang, who directly hugged the opponent and sent the 76ers players to the free throw line.
Two free throws and two hits, and then the 76ers fouled again, this time it was committed to Jiang Yang, although Jiang Yang's offense is only B+, but it does not mean that his free throws are not accurate, especially this is still the home court, after two free throws and two hits, there are 1.8 seconds left in the game, and the difference is still three points, and in the last case that the 76ers missed both free throws, they also lost the opportunity to win the game.
In the end, the Celtics won 113-110 against the 76ers and ushered in their eleventh victory!
And this is also Jiang Yang's first two-game winning streak after coming to the Celtics! A two-game winning streak that is not trivial.
