The Celtics vs. Magic have played two games this season, with a 1-1 draw on both sides.

The third game is currently being played between the two sides, and there will be a total of four games on both sides this season, two home and two away.

Against the Magic team, the Celtics can be said to be old acquaintances, and the strong in the East, the Magic vs. Celtics game, will definitely cause a certain sensation in the league, at least this is also a new round of strong matchups! So today is naturally TNT's national live broadcast, but because today is Friday in China, the court station did not broadcast this game live.

Viewers who want to watch this game can only go online or watch the live broadcast of local stations, but they always feel that there is something missing.

Orlando, where the Magic are based, is located in Florida and is a true Southern city, very close to the equator.

So at this time, although Boston is still a cold and snowy place, Orlando is still sunny and the climate is pleasant.

Unfortunately, the Celtics don't have much time to enjoy the city, and they need to prepare for the game against the Magic, and they know better than anyone that the matchup between the strong teams is not a little careless.

At 8 o'clock in the evening on January 28, 2010 Eastern time, the game between the Celtics and the Magic team officially started at the Amway Center, the home of the Magic team! There were no changes to the starting lineups on both sides today, with the Celtics still playing the same five players.

Garnett, Pierce, Rondo, Ray Allen, Perkins, as long as the five of them are not injured, it will basically not be the turn of other players to play, and the Magic side has no changes to the lineup today, center Dwight Howard, power forward Rashad Lewis, small forward Matt Barnes, scoring guard Vince Carter, point guard Jamil Nelson.

After the opening and singing of the national anthem, the players on both sides stand in the center circle, and at the signal of the referee, the game begins!

Perkins played again today, and the rare jump ball actually won Howard, as if Perkins was always very powerful in the face of Howard when he jumped the ball, and gave the basketball to Pierce, and Pierce did not find Rondo to organize after taking the ball.

Instead, he dribbled directly to break through, but he still underestimated Howard, although Howard's jump ball did not win.

But his bounce is still beyond doubt, a big blood cap fanned out, directly fanned the basketball to the side, and blocked Pierce!

Then after Jamison Nelson grabbed the basketball, he also missed the shot, and the two sides played slowly!

It wasn't until a minute into the game that Ray Allen opened the scoring with a jumper from nine feet out of the basket to give the Celtics a two-point lead, and then Garnett received a pass from Rondo.

Singles Lewis turned and hit a jumper to start the game 4-0! At this time, the Magic team did not dare to fight indiscriminately, and began to focus on the inside line.

The offensive routine of the Magic team, basically everyone understands that Howard plays singles on the inside, if the opponent is not sandwiched, he uses his bounce and physical fitness to eat the opponent's center on the inside, and now in the league, there is really no one who can withstand them, his hook hand under the basket, and strong play, generally the current inside line is really not an opponent.

The current league, the current NBA, is the world of guards, and the inside line is no longer popular in this world.

Therefore, Howard, the 'No. 1 center in the league', has a huge lethality under the basket, but the centers of the other 28 teams can't prevent him, which doesn't mean that the Celtics can't do it, the only center in the league who can compete with Howard is here! Kendrick Perkins! Watching Howard hold the ball and squeeze back, Perkins crouched down.

If you talk about pure strength, Perkins will never suffer, seeing Howard squeezing, he squatted down, and withstood Howard, but Howard faced Perkins, an old opponent, in fact, he had already played experience, and if he couldn't eat strongly, then turn around!

Howard turned around, and then there was a hook hand, and Perkins had no choice but to jump up and try to block the other party. But in terms of strength, Perkins is not at a loss, but in terms of bounce, it is still far behind.

There was no way, he couldn't let Howard detain himself, so Perkins could only hit Howard on the arm hard.

The blow knocked the ball off Howard's hand, but it also sent Howard to the free-throw line.

The purpose of killing the inside line, the Magic team has done it! But Howard's free throws, huh...... One of two free throws, not bad.

But then Rondo assisted Ray Allen, who hit a layup to stop the Magic 6-1!

Halfway through the first quarter, only 3 points were scored, and at the critical moment, Jamil Nelson hit the inside, causing Perkins to foul for the second time, and there was no way, the Celtics big center could only leave the court early and let Rasheed Wallace come up.

And after Rashid Wallace on the inside, his defensive ability was greatly reduced, which also made Nelson start to exert his power!

This guy scored 10 points in a row, and the Magic began to chase points, but Rasheed Wallace, who just came on the court, was not muddy!

Three-point shooting, the Celtics always maintained a lead of about ten points, Redick hit a three-pointer, roaring Tianzun immediately outside the long shot and colored, at the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led the Magic by 11 points at 34-23.

Jiang Yang came off the bench with 5 minutes and 01 seconds left in the first quarter, got 2 points and 2 assists, Wallace's two three-pointers were passed by Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang and Rashid Wallace are still working together quite well, and Jiang Yang is slowly looking for the feeling of integrating into the team! After the start of the second quarter, Eddie House and Rasheed Wallace each hit a three-pointer, and Howard scored with a hook shot, and there was no way, without Perkins there was no way to withstand his inside press.

The two teams were playing against each other, with the Magic having a slight advantage in offensive firepower, and at one point they narrowed the gap to just six points.

After Marcin Gortat made a layup, Jiang Yang hit a three-point shot at a critical moment, and Ray Allen, who was on the court, also hit two three-pointers in a row, which quickly stretched the score to as many as 13 points, and Lewis hit two free throws at the last moment, and the first half of the game ended.

The Celtics led the opponent by 11 points at 51-40 and entered the break, although the Magic side was behind by eleven points, it didn't seem to be in a hurry, but Doug Rivers was more anxious, because he knew that the Magic's offense in the first half was defended by the Celtics' outside players, so they didn't use it, and they used to use their favorite three-point tactic.

But in the second half, after the Celtics' veteran players lost their stamina, it was hard to say! After all, they are playing back-to-back now, and they still need to do some accumulation for the next game, if this game is too fierce, it is likely to be a two-game losing streak! No, it's very likely to be a three-game losing streak, because after playing these two back-to-backs, they have to go back to play the Lakers at home, and the current Lakers are last year's champions, and their strength should not be underestimated! You must not be careless!

Sure enough, at the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the shooting rate on the Celtics' side began to decline, although the shooting rates of both teams are not high now, mainly because the Celtics are still defending, but what about when their physical strength is gone...... Just as Doug Rivers was thinking about it, Ray Allen scored five straight points on the court, but then it was the Magic show! Howard, Lewis and Carter scored one after another, Ray Allen hit another three points, and the Green Shirts always maintained a ten-point lead, but the momentum of the Magic's counterattack could already be seen, and after Lewis scored five points in a row, the score was chased to 66-56, only ten points! Then Lewis and Nelson scored two points each to narrow the score to just six points!

At the critical moment, Jiang Yang and Tony Allen became the saviors of the Celtics, Jiang Yang first assisted Tony Allen to make a shot, then assisted Eddie House to hit a three-point shot, and then he broke through Nielsen and dunked!

Jiang Yang focused more on the series of games today, because he felt that his body had almost recovered, but his spirit still needed to recover slowly, and the connection with his teammates was obviously a very useful skill!

With Jiang Yang's last two points and two assists, the Celtics led the Magic by 12 points at 73-61 into the final quarter.

And Jiang Yang finished the third quarter, he got a total of 7 points and 5 assists, and the number of assists is slowly increasing!

At the beginning of the final quarter of the game, the player Jiang Yang met in the copy last time, white chocolate, Jason Williams hit two three-pointers in the opening game, there is no way, Jiang Yang is now defending the position of small forward, and the position of point guard is Eddie House.

Although Jiang Yang immediately returned a three-pointer back, the opponent still played a wave of 9-3 small **, narrowing the score to 7 points, and at this time, Howard scored nine points in a row and tied the score strongly! At the critical moment, the Celtics' benches decided to rely on Jiang Yang, after Jiang dribbled the ball past half court, looking at Michael Petrus who was defending himself in front of him, Jiang Yang was directly in front of him, and pulled out three points from the outside, but unfortunately he played too quickly and did not score, and was grabbed by Rashid Wallace on the inside to grab the offensive rebound, and then passed to Jiang Yang on the outside, Jiang Yang directed to Eddie House, and Eddie House hit a three-point shot.

helped the Celtics lead the other side 82-79, and at this time, the main lineups on both sides came to the court, Jiang Yang and they also went to rest, and as soon as the timeout ended, Lewis, who returned to the court, broke out! He hit a direct three-pointer from the outside, and JJ Redick hit all three free throws to help the Magic tie the score, but immediately Paul Pierce hit a three-pointer, and with 1:21 left in the game, the Celtics turned the score to 92-91, overtaking the Magic by one point, and the Magic called a timeout.

The original 13-point gap has been narrowed to just one point. This made Doug Rivers' face quite ugly.

In this quarter of the game, the Magic's outside three-point line was completely opened, taking advantage of the Celtics' players' physical exhaustion, they were constantly looking for opportunities on the outside, just looking at the appearance of Ray Allen when he defended JJ Redick.

Originally, Ray Allen had already grazed the ball, and if he still had the stamina, it would be a block, but now he can only slap JJ Redick's hand, send the opponent to the free throw line, and also send three free throw opportunities.

"Jiang, come on!" After thinking about it for a while, Doug Rivers still made an arrangement to replace Ray Allen, who has been on the court for 41 minutes today, Ray Allen's 41 minutes on the court is the highest time on the team, and Doug Rivers also has to think about the next game against the Hawks, it is a very correct choice to replace Jiang Yang on the court at this time, even if Jiang Yang has not broken through the rookie wall now, but his defensive skills are still there! After listening to Doug Rivers' words, Jiang Yang immediately took off his coat and came to the technical desk to prepare for a replacement! Since the last game, Jiang Yang was told by Doug Rivers that he needs to be aware of the game at all times.

Later, he learned the quality of a professional player, even if the game on the field was not interesting, he would always pay attention to the situation on the field, and listen to the coach at any time if there was any tactical arrangement for him, so Jiang Yang reacted quickly this time.

"When you get on the court, you are not required to attack, staring Carter!" That's what Doug Rivers is now giving Jiang Yang the task he wants.

After the pause, the Magic team really came to attack Carter, and after Lewis gave the basketball to Carter, he ran away, while Jiang Yang watched Carter, who was still on the outside, Carter faced Jiang Yang, while pressing time, thinking about Jiang Yang's weakness.

Since the last time the two fought, Carter hadn't fought Jiang Yang, and in his impression, Jiang Yang was the original strength, so when facing Jiang Yang, he just paid attention to Jiang Yang's black hand! Seeing that the clock was pressed for six seconds, Carter began to attack!

After shaking it for a while, Carter dribbled directly into the inside line, and Jiang Yang, whose physical fitness had reached A+.

Compared with Carter at his peak, it is not on the same level at all, but compared with Carter, who is now injured, his body is not weak, especially in terms of strength, Jiang Yang, who has been suppressed before, can also stand this time.

After sticking to Carter with his excellent physical fitness, his two small hands fell down and began to pinch the soft flesh on Carter's waist, Carter originally wanted to take advantage of his body's strength to suppress it, and rush away from Jiang Yang's defense one step in advance.

But who knows, let Jiang Yang's strong physical fitness withstand, Carter had no choice but to reluctantly shoot.

This also gave Jiang Yang a chance, seeing Carter jumping, Jiang Yang also jumped up with him! Don't forget who Jiang Yang's stagnation is...... Carter's height is 198 cm, Jiang Yang is 201 cm after putting on the shoes, Carter's bounce has an advantage, but Jiang Yang's arm span and height have an advantage, plus Jiang Yang's stagnation is inherited from Kobe...... "No!" Seeing Jiang Yang and Carter jump at the same time, Buckley and Kenny Smith on the TNT commentary bench couldn't help but smack their lips, they have full confidence in Carter, although Kenny Smith is usually very optimistic about Jiang Yang, but when Jiang Yang competes with his own domestic players, he will still put his confidence back on the American players.

"Looks like the rookie wall has confused him! Bounce with Vinceby, did he think his Jordan? Looking at Jiang Yang's movements, Buckley couldn't help laughing, although he was not convinced, but he still agreed with Jordan's strength very much.

And Carter watched Jiang Yang jump up with him, and he couldn't help but smile, since that's the case, it's okay!

"Do you want to bully me for my age? Then let you see what it means that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse! Carter snorted secretly in his heart, of course, he said the sentence that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse was from his cousin, and his cousin was from Yao Ming.

Carter was getting higher and higher in the sky, and although Jiang Yang didn't fly high, he stopped in the air! The advantage of arm span was right in front of Carter, Carter was very surprised, he had risen to the high point, and Jiang Yang's hand was still in front of him.

Just when he was stunned, his body had been sucked by the earth and began to fall, and the current Carter was not the original demigod after all! Now he has no way to get rid of the attraction of the earth for a long time!

There is no way, if it lands like this, then Carter just jumps and does not shoot, which is a violation, so Carter can only throw the basketball out, and this throw just hit Jiang Yang's hand, Jiang Yang's air stagnation is Kobe's skill, although it is only the highest level of S-, but Kobe's air stagnation skill has a special ability, which will always land 0.2 seconds later than the opponent.

This 0.2 seconds is useless in the slam dunk contest! Because there is no reference, but when it comes to competitions, it is very useful......

"Smack!" Jiang Yang slapped the basketball directly, but the basketball did not fly away, but after a few turns, it began to rise into the air, straight up and down! Jiang Yang, who had just landed at this time, did not jump faster than Carter, who landed first, Carter took the basketball into his arms one step ahead of Jiang Yang, but when he fell, Jiang Yang's hand unconsciously cut up.

Without giving Carter time to react at all, Jiang Yang directly cut off the basketball and then grabbed the basketball in one hand.

"Hey, that's what it feels like...... It's coming! At the moment when Jiang Yang grabbed the basketball, the small piece of glass in his pocket suddenly shook.

Then Jiang Yang felt that in the last few games, some of his mental stagnation places were like streams washed by floods, and the water level rose in an instant, and then hit his original barrier! Looking at Jiang Yang's face, the Celtics players who originally wanted to attack quickly slowed down and looked at Jiang Yang with a smile, they knew that Jiang Yang had made a breakthrough! In the middle of the game!

'Oops...... This feeling is so refreshing! After about two seconds, Jiang Yang raised the ball, looked at the Magic players who had retreated in front of him, and couldn't help beating his chest twice.
