Chapter 167: Jiang's Tactics
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Welcome to turn on the TV on time to watch the NBA All-American live broadcast brought to you by TNT, it's my old friend Charles Buckley, and of course, Kenny Smith, who has been sitting next to me, come to Kenny and say hello to everyone! Buckley's big fat face appeared on time at 8 p.m. on all the sports TVs in the United States, and this Celtics vs. Hawks game is quite popular in the United States.
"Charles, you say that as if I'm very unimportant!" Kenny Smith's big bald head also appeared on the TV, looking at Barkley next to him and saying with an unhappy face, none of the people who can sit here are fuel-efficient lamps.
"Hey, Kenny, you're not as important as me in the first place, haha! I'm Sir Charles! I'm not kidding you, let's turn our attention to today's game, Kenny, who do you think will be more advantageous for the Celtics vs. Hawks game today? Listening to Buckley's words, Kenny Smith over there hesitated for a moment and began to analyze.
"Originally, the Celtics' lineup should be a level stronger than the Hawks, although the Hawks are young, play passionately, and have Crawford's play on the bench, but it is almost impossible for the Celtics to fight hard! But look at the sidelines today, the interior core Kevin Garnett and the outside defense, tandem core, Rondo is sitting on the sidelines, wearing suits, which means that neither of them will play today, so the Hawks are more advantageous! ”
"Aren't you very optimistic about that Jiang Yang? How? Think Jiang Yang can't replace Rondo's position? "Buckley will not let go of such an opportunity to hit Kenny Smith, this is just not the right thing, in order to increase the ratings, the TV station must have someone to be white-faced, and a person to be black-faced, and Charles Buckley, obviously the one who likes to be blackface.
"Haha, don't provoke me, Jiang Yang has proven his worth, he has scored double-doubles in many games in a row, this is not an easy thing, but his dominance is tomorrow, not now, and now he has no way to compare with Rondo, even if his passing is good, the three points are good, and he has a rather black defense!" Kenny Smith smiled and said that Jiang is one of the few abilities he can take now, and it is true that Jiang Yang only has four skills that are A- now.
"I think Jiang Yang has studied hard in the Celtics this season, if he learns all his experience and skills, he will not be a role that the Celtics can trap next year!" Looking at Jiang Yang, who was stretching his legs on the court, Kenny Smith said very seriously that he was very optimistic about this Jiang Yang, because this Jiang Yang was really good.
"You were born in the Rockets, who doesn't know that you have a very good view of the Chinese players, don't say more, let's enter the game immediately!" Charles Buckley snorted, and whenever he saw Chinese, he remembered Kenny II's ass...... And today's game, in China, is the 9th, Saturday, there happens to be a live broadcast, in line with the principle that Jiangyang's game must be transferred.
The imperial court station also broadcast the game live at this time, and it was the famous double-draw combination that commented on the game!
Rondo also took the initiative to admit his mistake after the last game, and then he didn't even enter the squad in this game, in order to recuperate well, observe well, back injury is one of the most difficult injuries, but as long as it is raised, it is not easy to relapse, and now Rondo can only pin his hopes on Jiang Yang, so Jiang Yang is the starter today.
At 8 p.m. EST on January 8 and 9 a.m. EST on January 9, the game officially began.
Perkins and Josh Smith jumped at the same time, although Al Horford is the center, but in the Hawks, the heavy responsibility of jumping the ball has always been handed over to the bouncing man Josh Smith, this guy's body is not made of meat at all, it is made of spring plates, the referee just threw the ball into the air, Josh Smith directly ignored his own taller Perkins.
Jumping vertically, Perkins slapped the basketball to his side first, Jiang Yang, who had been paying attention to the jump ball for a long time, moved the moment he jumped, and went straight to Mike Bibby, because Jiang Yang knew better than anyone that Perkins' jump ball was really miserable...... However, Mike Bibby is worthy of being called an underrated player, and his years of playing career have long allowed him to judge Jiang Yang's intentions, and after receiving the ball, Mike Bibby didn't make any action at all, so he passed the ball directly to Joe Johnson next to him.
In this way, it not only avoided Jiang Yang for the first time, but also blocked Jiang Yang and prevented Jiang Yang from assisting in defense, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
And Joe Johnson didn't waste Mike Bibby's pass, and after receiving the ball, he went directly to the Celtics' half, and then just before Ray Allen didn't defend it, he threw out a three-pointer, Joe Johnson's three-pointer, it's not good to just enter the league, but he has been in the Suns...... Is there a three-point bad for any outside player who has been with the Suns?
At least in Jiang Yang's memory, Joe Johnson's opening three-point shot was a perfect shot.
However, the Celtics didn't care too much, after all, the game had just begun, Rasheed Wallace sent the ball to Jiang Yang, and then Jiang Yang slowly dribbled through the half, looking at Perkins, who was already quite deep inside, Jiang Yang passed the ball directly, Al Hoford's own strength is good, and his potential is good, but he has just entered the league for three years, and he wants to carry the strength with Perkins, the famous blunt man in the league, and there are some too naïve meanings, Perkins directly squeezed him away on the inside, hit a layup, not only opened the scoring for the Celtics, but also allowed Jiang Yang to get an assist, which is always a good thing.
Then the two sides play the defensive card, you defend one on my side, I defend you on the other, and both sides are mainly defensive-oriented.
Needless to say, Doug Rivers was originally a defense-oriented coach, and Woodson, a coach who has just become famous recently, is also defense-oriented, just look at the Hawks' scores, you can understand that they rarely score more than 100 points, Jiang Yang was also limited by the opponent very deadly, in the first quarter of the game, Jiang Yang only hit a mid-range shot and scored two points.
There were only three assists, and the first quarter of the game was over, and Jiang Yang played seven minutes in the first quarter before leaving the game.
At the end of the first quarter, the battle between the two sides was 19-17, and both sides were extremely close! It takes a lot of sweat to score a goal! Jiang Yang didn't like it when he was so twisted, so when he was sitting on the sidelines, he began to observe the Eagles team in front of him, and as far as the current situation was concerned, Jiang Yang really saw something different about this Eagles team.
"Coach, haven't you noticed, they have a problem...... "Anyway, he was sitting and resting, Jiang Yang talked to Doug Rivers who looked serious next to him, but Doug Rivers didn't have time to pay attention to Jiang Yang, just glanced at Jiang Yang, and continued to look at the situation on the field, because he had to pay attention to the situation on the court at any time, and if there was anything not right, he had to give instructions immediately, he was not like Jiang Yang and them, and he still had time to gossip on the side, he was a coach, and he couldn't slip away!
However, Jiang Yang, who didn't seem to notice that Doug Rivers' face was wrong, was still talking to himself.
"According to what is written on the information, Al Hoofd's height is only 205 cm barefoot, and he is only 208 cm when he wears shoes, which is not very tall! Josh Smith is shorter, with only 203 feet and 206 cm in shoes, as tall as their small forward Marvin Williams, Joe Johnson is two meters and one meters tall, but Mike Bibby is only 188 cm...... Obviously, there are some problems with the height of this, four, and five! Jiang Yang took the information that had been placed on the chair next to him and looked at it himself, even if Doug Rivers didn't listen carefully to Jiang Yang's knowledge, Jiang Yang said it in his ear.
Even if he didn't want to hear it, he listened to it, and after listening to what Jiang Yang said, Doug Rivers' brows also frowned.
"Coach, if you say, if we let Rashid Wallace stand on the outside, then Josh Smith will definitely come over to defend, but his disadvantage in height (Rasheed Wallace is 211 cm), plus he can shoot three-pointers, then the opponent has to come over and defend, and then at this time use him as the axis to rotate, or let Pierce play the wrong position, or let me and Eddie House attack on the outside, can there be a better offensive option?" Jiang Yang looked at the tactics board on the field and began to scribble on it, listening to Jiang Yang's words, Doug Rivers was really impressed with Jiang Yang this time.
Because the Celtics played the Hawks in the past, Garnett also had a clear height advantage over Josh Smith.
It's just that he can't shoot three-pointers, but as long as he can shoot two-pointers, it's enough, as long as Josh Smith, the bullet man, is pulled away, and then the inside line is to let Perkins come by himself, or let Pierce break through, or the outside Ray Allen three-point is the same, but then Ray Allen is followed by a Joe Johnson, and the three-point is almost blocked.
And Rondo's three-point ...... Ahem, Doug Rivers has such a thing as a three-point line when he shoots, but now he is reminded by Jiang Yang that Jiang Yang is not Rondo, although Jiang Yang and Rondo's offensive ability is almost the same, but Jiang Yang's strongest offensive ability is the outside line, this big three-point battery, if you don't use it, it's really a little bit embarrassing!
"Jiang! Play! Thinking of this, Doug Rivers patted Jiang Yang on the shoulder and directly sent Jiang Yang to the court.
It doesn't matter that at this time, there are still eight minutes left in the second quarter, just when Glen Davis, a small fat squat, fouled when defending Josh Smith, a jumping man, Josh Smith missed a free throw, giving the Celtics a chance to make a substitution.
Directly two up and two down, Rashid Wallace replaced Sheldon Williams, and Jiang Yang replaced Ray Allen and came to the court.
After coming to the court, Josh Smith's terrible free throw, the second free throw did not score, and Jiang Yang grabbed the defensive rebound.
Then Jiang Yang dribbled the ball past half court while watching Doug Rivers, Jiang Yang is a street tactic, because when he was on the court just now, Doug Rivers didn't tell him tactics, and he didn't worry about Mike Bibby Jiang Yang in front of him stealing his ball, after all, Jiang Yang's dribbling is also A-, as long as he is careful, he won't be stolen by Mike Bibby in front of him.
Although Mike Beeby is underrated, you really think he has the level of Paul! That's impossible.
"Just do what you told me!" Seeing that Jiang Yang was asking about tactics, Doug Rivers shouted directly at Jiang Yang.
Listening to Doug Rivers' words, Jiang Yang was stunned, but he immediately arranged it, began to gesture to his teammates, and saw Jiang Yang's gestures, although he had never played such a tactic before, everyone still obeyed his arrangement.
After all, they all heard the coach just now, and Doug Rivers also asked Jiang Yang to play his own tactics, at this time, the other players of the Celtics, all they need to do is Jiang Yang's words, Pierce received the top of the arc of the middle circle, and Jiang Yang stood on the same line, it looked like he blocked Jiang Yang, and Rasheed Wallace came to the left, and saw Rasheed Wallace pull out, Josh Smith could only follow out, in essence, Josh Smith thought that he was very similar to Rasheed Wallace.
Because they are all inside, they all have good talent, but they all like to shoot three-pointers from the outside...... It's just that Rashid Wallace's shooting rate is relatively high, and the coach also asked him to shoot, and his own shooting rate is ~ people are like this, when they meet people with similar ball style, they will think so, the other party is also very strong, just a little worse than themselves.
Thinking he knows the other side well, Josh Smith sees Rashid Wallace's three-point ability as a 'big killer'.
So he followed him out, and seeing that the players were all in place, Jiang Yang directly handed the ball to Pierce.
Pierce broke through directly after taking the ball, and it was Marvin Williams who defended him, and Marvin Williams was actually at a good level.
But in terms of strength, how is he Pierce's opponent, after being squeezed out of the way directly, he rushed into the inner line, because Jiang Yang and Pierce were standing side by side just now, so after Pierce broke through here, the closest to Pierce was Mike Bibby, but Mike Bibby didn't move, and kept staring at Jiang Yang, because he knew that there were other people who would go to make up for it! Sure enough, just as he thought, Josh Smith, who had been watching against Rasheed Wallace, saw Pierce rushing to the inside, a little anxious, and it was his task to make up the inside line, so Josh Smith also moved a step to the inside in a hurry, and when he moved this step, Pierce passed the ball and passed the ball directly to Rasheed Wallace on the outside, when Wallace received the ball, the hearts of the players in the Hawks were chuckling, and Josh Smith immediately turned around to help defend, And Mike Bibby, who had been standing next to Jiang Yang, also pounced on Rashid Wallace at the first time, after all, in his opinion, Wallace was an empty seat!
But just as he left Jiang Yang, Rashid Wallace also passed the ball and passed the ball to Jiang Yang!
It was Marvin Williams who was supposed to come over to make up for the defense at this time, but at this time he was still chasing Pierce.
This is a rotational transposition play, there is Rashid Wallace here to attract Mike Bibby and Josh Smith, and Jiang Yang here has an empty seat! After Jiang Yang took the ball, he aimed at the basket before making a shot.
Such an empty shot, if you don't score, then Jiang Yang will not forgive himself, but fortunately, Jiang Yang's three points are really not ordinarily accurate.
The basketball flew in the air for less than two seconds before plunging headlong into the basket, which is a very perfect basket!
28-23, Jiang Yang just came on the court, and the tactics played a role! But that only solves the problem of offense.
Coming back, Marvin Williams received a pass from Joe Johnson and hit a jumper to chase the score back a bit.
Jiang Yang, who had tasted the sweetness, used this tactic again, and it turned out that there were no fools in this alliance.
After Jiang Yang got the ball, it was still the same routine, Pierce attacked, and it was indeed a breakthrough through Marvin Williams, and then passed to Rasheed Wallace, attracting Mike Bibby and Josh Smith, but just when Rasheed Wallace passed.
He was directly tackled by Mike Bibby and then passed a long pass to Al Hofford, who hit a mid-range shot to narrow the gap to just one point! Seeing such a situation, Jiang Yang was stunned for a moment...... Originally, he thought that this tactic could be used at least three or five times, but who knows, these guys are all Xiaoqiang, and the same move is useless in front of them!
In fact, you can't blame the opposing players for seeing through it early, you see like the Hornets, Paul and Chandler's blocking and dismantling, blocking a season to the end without being broken, the Magic team's one inside line, four outside three-point rain tactics, although often feel ineffective, but the time of the spirit is always more than the time of the ineffective! It's also quite powerful!
So this can only be reacted from one side, Jiang Yang's tactics are really not too mature, and they still need to be improved.
It's like watching a Saint Seiya, although the same move is not good in the eyes of the Saint Seiya for a second time, Seiya's Pegasus Meteor Fist can always hit the person who has been defeated...... Therefore, the identification of this tactic mainly depends on the essence of the tactic.
After being scored two goals by the opponent, Jiang Yang's score on their side was also forced to get closer, and now only 28-27 is only one point ahead of the opponent, this time Doug Rivers's face is ugly again, watching Jiang Yang dribble again over the half, Doug Rivers waved his hand, signaling Jiang Yang's tactic not to play, Jiang Yang was also a little embarrassed, after all, it caused a mistake.
In NBA games, a mistake can lead to a game loss, so you need to be very careful!
