Chapter 173: I'm a point guard
Jiang Yang's half-time game is still those points, five points! The three points just now, plus the opening two points, Jiang Yang scored a total of five points.
But because Jiang Yang was very active on the field, coupled with the fact that he worked very defense, the other party did not dare to underestimate Jiang Yang.
At halftime, Pat Riley directly identified Jiang Yang as one of the people the team needed to defend, because he felt a hint of danger from Jiang Yang, and the current Lakers team was obviously not as good as the Lakers later.
The players in the team are basically the main players who play as substitutes in other teams, but now they can only play the main force in the Lakers!
In such a situation, the Lakers are not comfortable! So at first, Pat Riley didn't let anyone pay attention to anyone except Kobe and Odom, but in the first half, although Jiang Yang only scored five points, his strength made Pat Riley a little worried.
And on the Lakers locker room, the same thing is going on, Jiang Yang As soon as they entered the locker room, Jiang Yang was isolated again, after all, before Kobe Bryant spoke, no one dared to say anything to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang's own level, although Kobe Bryant is not very clear, but after the observation of the first half of the game, this Jiang Yang is really powerful, at least better than Smush Parker.
It seems that Phil Jackson really didn't see the wrong person! Thinking of this, Kobe Bryant walked in front of Jiang Yang.
"I choose to believe you once at this time, in the third quarter, I will play at a normal pace, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer!" Listening to Kobe's words, Jiang Yang was stunned for a moment, is this still the proud Kobe? It's not going to be a show!
Of course, Kobe Bryant didn't show off, and he said this for a reason, because he definitely didn't want to lose here.
Kobe Bryant can lose to anyone, but he can't lose to O'Neal, the relationship between the two is now the same!
The Lakers have reached a situation where no one is available, and Kobe's best choice at this time is to believe in Jiangyang.
Compared with hating Jiang Yang, Kobe Bryant hates O'Neill even more and hates failure! Listening to Kobe's words, Jiang Yang nodded.
After all, he came here to complete the task, not to fight here, after this game, he cares whether Kobe Bryant lives or dies.
"I hope you can surprise me!" After halftime, Kobe Bryant's pressure was also very high, and there were really not many players in the Lakers who could score...... At this time, he had to choose to think about Jiang Yang, because he didn't want to burn the jade!
The time of the halftime passed quickly, and the game on both sides started again, this time Kobe Bryant really seemed to be in the locker room as he said, although Odom passed the ball to him, but he passed the ball to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang This is still this game, the second time he touched the ball during the sports battle, except for the ball at the beginning, Jiang Yang felt that he had the ball in his hand for the second time.
Facing Jason Williams in front of him, Jiang Yang broke through directly and rushed into the inside, seeing that Jason Williams had no way to prevent Jiang Yang, the opponent's inside Haslem could only come out to make up for the defense, and the moment he came out to make up for the defense, Jiang Yang directly passed the basketball into the inside, looking at the angle and position of Jiang Yang's pass, Kobe Bryant couldn't help nodding secretly, and he really deserved to be playing point guard.
The basketball flew directly to the inside and was handed to Cook, who just wanted to go to the basket but was pulled down by the opponent and stood on the free throw line.
Although he is an interior lineman, Curry's offense is basically completed by his shooting, so his free throws are not bad.
The basketball hit very accurately and chased the score back by two points! And then the second attack, it was Jiang Yang again, after Jiang Yang broke through Jason Williams, this time it was the big shark O'Neal who came to help defend, Jiang Yang didn't look at O'Neal, the basketball smashed directly between O'Neal's legs, passed from his crotch to the inside, and Mime dunked after receiving the ball!
53-52 Jiang Yang just came on the court, an assist, a quasi-assist, and immediately helped the Lakers catch up with the score!
However, at this time, O'Neal also played and rushed into the inside, although Mime could have dunked one because of Jiang Yang's pass just now.
But when O'Neal wanted to dunk violently, he had no tricks! can only reluctantly accept that he can't withstand the fate of the other party.
But just as O'Neal was about to go to the basket, a figure came out from the side and slapped O'Neal on the hand.
O'Neal was in pain, the ball didn't go in, but it deceived the defender's foul, looking at the huge No. 66 jersey, Pat Riley's eyes were even sharper, this guy was his first foul.
"Cut him! Can't let him score easily! Jiang Yang looked at Mime and said with a smile, and after listening to Jiang Yang's words, Mime nodded.
After Jiang Yang's performance after the start of the third quarter, the Lakers players have gradually accepted this Chinese.
And looking at Kobe's appearance, it seems that he has no hostility towards Jiang Yang! However, Jiang Yang also knew that Kobe Bryant was the boss of the team, so for the third ball, after Jiang Yang dribbled the ball over the halfcourt, he handed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe Bryant made a stop-and-go jump shot after breaking through.
At the same time, Jason Williams on this side used the block to deceive Mime's foul and hit two free throws, if Jiang Yang and Jason Williams singled out, torture him to death! But it's a pity that this is a game, and someone blocked him during the game, so Jiang Yang had no choice.
But then Jiang Yang told these people that he didn't just pass the ball, this time Jiang Yang didn't rush to pass the ball after half the court, but made a breakthrough, Jason Williams, who had been broken through by Jiang Yang many times, was really a little afraid that Jiang Yang would break through himself, so he withdrew one step in advance, and put his center of gravity behind him first, but this gave Jiang Yang a chance.
Jiang Yang stepped back directly, jumped high outside the three-point line, and threw the basketball to the basket in front of him with a flick of his wrist.
"Maddie's dry plucking?" Looking at Jiang Yang's movements, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it seems that he seriously underestimated the strength of this guy named Jiang Yang! This guy's strength is not as simple as he thinks.
"It's stronger than you think!" Kobe Bryant looked at Jiang Yang's movements and gave Jiang Yang a definition in his heart.
However, Jiang Yang's performance is far from over, the next time he attacked, Jiang Yang attracted Wade's attention, passed the ball to Kobe, Kobe Bryant shot in the open position, Jiang Yang assisted two, and the score reached eight points!
But immediately, after the Heat's offense ended, Jiang Yang passed the ball again, commanded Cook to block him outside, and then passed the ball to him, although Cook said that the defense and rebounding were almost zero, but his shooting was really good.
Curry hit a shot, and the Lakers overtook the score many times except after the opening, winning by two points against the Heat 62-59!
Then Jiang Yang passed the ball to Cook again, this guy felt really good, and hit again, of course, this is also related to Haslem being too short to defend, but then Glove Payton rushed into the interior to cheat the foul, two free throws and two hits.
Kobe Bryant also rushed into the interior to make a foul, two hits, and the scores on both sides were very tight!
After Wade got off the court, Payton began to attack with Kobe, but with Jiang Yang, the backup passer, the Lakers' offense slowly overwhelmed the Heat, and when Jiang Yang went off the court, the Lakers led the Heat 66-61!
But after Jiang Yang was off the court, the Lakers' bench pulled his hips again...... Mourning forced the opponent on the inside, and then Walker made a layup, and the two teams were tied again, and at the end of the third quarter, the Lakers and the Heat were tied 70-70!
Kobe Bryant had scored 33 points at this time, and O'Neal also scored 12 points and 14 rebounds to make a double-double!
In this quarter of the game, Jiang Yang scored five points, four assists, and a total score of 10 points, plus four assists, judging from the heart, the score in the third quarter is not high, but don't forget, Jiang Yang only touched the ball twice in the first half.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Yang has become a big problem for the Heat team, and the Heat originally led by five points at halftime.
But now, when the Lakers were leading the highest, they had even won as much as ten points in a single quarter, if it weren't for the Lakers' benches being too bad, they might really be leading by ten points and entering the final quarter.
"Jaylin, you go first in the last quarter!" Listening to what Pat Riley said at the break in the third quarter, Jason Williams knew that he was going to play off the bench, and it is estimated that Pat Riley was ready to let Gary Payton play point guard.
Go and limit Kobe, and then let Wade restrict Jiang Yang, or change it! Jiang Yang didn't attack much in the third quarter.
has become the focus of attention on the field, and when his hand feels smooth, is it okay?
Of course, this is just Pat Riley's idea, and at this time on the Lakers' side, the atmosphere is much better.
After all, a tie now is also a victory, winning the opponent by five points in a single quarter in the third quarter, for the current Lakers, it is not an easy thing, sitting on the rest seat, Jiang Yang wiped the sweat on his face with a towel, while watching Phil Jackson draw the tactical board there, Jiang Yang felt that his foundation was indeed a little poor, and there was no harm in learning more new knowledge at this time, so that there would be no mistake in the last time he was against the Hawks.
Just as Jiang Yang was there looking at Phil Jackson's tactical board, a cup of Gatorade was suddenly handed to Jiang Yang.
Looking at the paper cup in front of him, Jiang Yang raised his head with some surprise, and just happened to see Kobe's face and the silent eyes.
"Oh, thank you!" After Jiang Yang thanked him, he took the water cup and began to drink, and Kobe Bryant also sat next to Jiang Yang, watching Kobe's movements, the other players in the Lakers team had some surprises, because since Phil Jackson came to the team as the head coach, of course, this season, Kobe has not been so close to Phil Jackson!
What's more, Kobe poured water for others...... Even in his rookie season, this unusually temperamental Kobe Bryant never poured water on others! O'Neill didn't! But today he poured water for Jiang Yang, which was really surprising.
"Your level is good, much better than two years ago!" What Kobe Bryant said was, of course, when Jiang Yang helped the Lakers win the Western Conference Championship, listening to Kobe's words, Jiang Yang smiled, he knew what kind of level he was two years ago.
"The third quarter was pretty good, but it was clear that he was still wary of us! Fourth quarter I need you to score! I think you should have no problem, you can learn Maddie's dry pulling, there is no possibility that you will not attack! Kobe Bryant looked at Jiang Yang next to him and said to Jiang Yang with a smile, after listening to Kobe's words, Jiang Yang still just smiled and didn't say anything.
"I can lose any game, but this game, no!" Looking at Jiang Yang, Kobe Bryant said coldly, it can be seen that the hatred between Kobe and O'Neal is not a day or two, in fact, no one will feel comfortable in their hearts.
How can one mountain accommodate two tigers, especially now that Kobe Bryant has fully grown up, he lived in the shadow of O'Neal when O'Neal was in the past, and now O'Neal has finally left, but he still lives under the influence of O'Neal!
didn't make the playoffs last season, and the outside media has begun to make noise, without O'Neal's Kobe, he is just a star, and he has no way to lead the Lakers to victory! Such remarks fill Kobe's ears every day.
In addition, as soon as Kobe's strong-j case came out and Adidas's contract was terminated, the team he led could not enter the playoffs, and his ability was questioned. Kobe Bryant himself bought out the contract with Adidas, and this Kobe Bryant was hit harder! This series of blows has already hit Kobe Bryant into an insincere and benevolent type! The Lakers' record this season is not bad.
Since his character can't be recovered, Kobe now wants to redeem more in strength.
And the game against the Heat is the best platform to prove his strength, and if he scores very high, but the team loses, then Kobe's strength still has no way to prove, so now Kobe will rarely bow his head to Jiang Yang.
Otherwise, if you put it in normal times, let Kobe pour you water? Kobe Bryant poured a glass of water directly into your face.
This guy is notoriously unique, notoriously ruthless, and notoriously tough in the league! After the break, the substitutes on both sides first came to the court to play, the Lakers' substitutes were real dishes, Jiang Yang said that they were dishes, and they really didn't wronged them at all!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, there was nothing to do with them except for Wharton's mid-range shot that scored two points at the beginning, Jason Williams, who replaced Gary Payton, shook off Smush Parker for a layup, and then Capono scored on a pull-up jumper, and Mourning also scored two points inside, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Heat directly beat the Lakers to an 8-2 out.
The Lakers had to change the main force, first changed Odom and Kobe Bryant to the court, Odom came on the court and scored two points, Kobe Bryant on this side, Payton on the other side also played, came out to limit Kobe! Glove Peyton, it's not your average ruthlessness!
Payton directly broke through Kobe Bryant and scored two more points after a layup, and then Wade came on the court, substituted Jason Williams, broke through Smash Parker, and after being fouled by Parker, he made one of two free throws, and the Heat's performance was getting better and better.
The point difference was also stretched to as many as 7 points, directly stopping the Lakers, at this time there were still 7 minutes 08 seconds left before the game harness, and Jiang Yang was within the scope of Jiang Yang's physical strength, Jiang Yang came directly to the court, ready to play!
As soon as Jiang Yang came on the court, he passed a good ball, and after passing the ball to Kobe, Kobe made a layup, and at the same time deceived Wade's foul, and successfully scored three points, after playing a three-point knot, Kobe himself made a mid-range jumper, and then Kobe attacked, after attracting Wade's attention, he passed the ball to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang vacated three points, hit again, and then Jiang Yang broke through the inside line and caused Haslem's foul, one of the two free throws, 9-2, Jiang Yang just came on the court, and the Lakers directly played a 9-2 attack wave out, Successfully helped the team chase the score to 93-93 draw! The original seven-point gap has been wiped out after Jiang Yang came on the field.
Looking at Jiang Yang on the field, Pat Riley's eyes are becoming more and more ruthless, this Jiang Yang is really powerful.
And Jiang Yang's awesomeness is not over yet, although Haslem hit a jump shot, Jiang Yang is still very sure in the face of the now immature Wade, after all, in Jiang Yang's era, he has no way to compete with Wade.
Now bullying Wade, who has not grown up, is also a great joy in life, Jiang Yang hit two three-pointers on Wade's head in a row, and helped the Lakers overtake the score 91-89 with 1 minute and 58 seconds left in the game!
The Heat had to ask for a timeout, and at this time Jiang Yang had already scored 19 points plus 9 assists, for Jiang Yang's three three-pointers in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant was very happy, and when he got off the court, he deliberately patted Jiang Yang's shoulder. Show Jiang Yang to do a good job! And Wade, who defended Jiang Yang, didn't look good, after all, Jiang Yang's three three-pointers were scored on his head, Jiang Yang's height has an obvious advantage, and the current Wade is not Wade four years later!
Although it is a body, the ball skills are indeed far behind, which also gives Jiang Yang the opportunity to exploit this loophole, 19 points! It seems that it is really possible for the Lakers to win the Heat now, especially if Jiang Yang still has physical strength!
"Prepare well, the next is the real decisive time!" Back on the bench, Phil Jackson said slowly.
