Chapter 199: Defeat

From fifteen points in the first quarter to two points at the end of the third quarter, the Celtics have filled all the holes they dug at the beginning!

A two-point deficit can be leveled with one ball, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the offense became the Nuggets.

Jr-Smith hit a three-point shot to pull the score away, and at the same time that Daniels on the Celtics' side also hit a shot, and then Tony Allen received a pass from Jiang Yang, although he didn't score a layup, but he deceived J.R. Smith's foul and made one of two free throws.

Kenyon Martin made a layup after grabbing an offensive rebound inside, but Jiang Yang immediately gave the opponent a low-handed layup.

The score on both sides has been going back and forth between 5 points and 3 points, and it has not been pulled away, but it has not been pulled closer.

Jr-Smith hit a layup, Ray Allen also hit a layup, with 8 minutes and 37 seconds left in the game, the official paused, and the starters on both sides of the court were slowly replaced, and the Kyle Stuffers replaced Garnett and replaced Rondo, but Jiang Yang did not get off the court, but on the court, he changed to play small forward! Directly opposite Anthony, Jiang Yang was actually a little scared when he met Anthony.

After all, Wade's reputation is outside, Jiang Yang has played with Wade, Wade is quite difficult, today when facing Anthony, who is no worse than Wade, Jiang Yang is also a little scared, after halftime, Rondo handed the ball to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang looked at Anthony in front of him, hesitated, and still handed the ball to Ray Allen, who didn't score three points.

"Jiang, hit him!" Doug Rivers, who was on the court, saw Jiang Yang hesitating, and couldn't help but shout loudly.

But the shouts were shocked by the boos and cheers of the fans on the sidelines, and they couldn't reach Jiang Yang's ears, but Jiang Yang couldn't hear it, it didn't mean that others couldn't hear it, and Rondo came to Jiang Yang when he retreated.

"Hey, brother, why did you hesitate when attacking?" Listening to Rondo's words, Jiang Yang smiled helplessly.

"That Anthony, I'm a little unsure!" Jiang Yang is not embarrassed, after all, he is a novice.

"Don't be afraid, his defense is terrible, get it back next time!" Listening to Jiang Yang's words, Rondo patted Jiang Yang's shoulder and said. Jiang Yang here didn't dare to face Anthony, Anthony didn't care if Jiang Yang wanted it or not, anyway, he was in the next attack.

He found J.R. Smith and hit a three-pointer to bring the score back to a five-point lead at 92-87.

Seeing that the score difference on the court was stretched to five points again, Doug Rivers couldn't wait, and glanced at Pierce on the sidelines, Pierce naturally knew what the coach meant, and immediately stood up to warm up, if Jiang Yang still can't open the next ball, then Pierce is playing for Jiang Yang today! Rondo dribbled past half court, and according to the coach's arrangement, he handed the ball to Jiang Yang again.

Looking at Anthony in front of him, Jiang Yang took a deep breath and temporarily ignored the large number of names on Anthony's head.

Jiang Yang actually didn't suffer at all in the face of Anthony, Jiang Yang's height is 201 cm, Anthony is 203 cm, only two cm taller than Jiang Yang, and Anthony has an arm span of 213 cm, Jiang Yang is not too bad for him, in general, the two of them don't see any obvious difference in size, that is, Jiang Yang's body looks thinner than the other party.

Before entering the league, Anthony was indeed more famous than James, and he was also famous, and he was even more powerful.

He became an NCAA MOP (Most Outstanding Player) in '03, an NBA in '04, and an MVP in the NBA Rookie Challenge in '05, but he didn't have much accolades after that.

Anthony hasn't averaged 20 points per season since he entered the league, averaging 21 points per game in his rookie season.

The increase of these is even faster, the average of 05-06 seasons has reached 26.5 points per game, the average of 06-07 seasons has reached 28.9 points per game, and this year it is also an average of 28.2 points per game.

All this shows Anthony's strength, and Jiang Yang didn't understand why the team would come to him to fight him alone?

But now that the team's order has come down, Jiang Yang has to fight if he doesn't fight, so he can only bite the bullet!

Looking at Anthony, who was defending him in front of him, Jiang Yang took a deep breath, and then began to slowly bend down, ready to start fighting him alone.

And the other players also pulled away, watching Jiang Yang single Anthony, Jiang Yang looked at Anthony, suddenly the ball was handed over to his right hand, and rushed towards Anthony, Anthony's body is very strong, and the speed is very fast, it is unwise to fight with him for speed and strength, so Jiang Yang moved sideways in front of him, and then pulled the ball back, and then rushed to his other side.

This is just the most basic method of pulling the ball and passing people, Jiang Yang's original level is not too high, and there is nothing wrong with using the basic method of pulling the ball and passing people, originally he thought that he should still be blocked by Anthony, and then after grinding on the outside for some time, it would be over to pass the ball to others to attack, but when he pulled back the center of gravity for the second time, Anthony on the opposite side did not pull the center of gravity back.

"Mistakes?" Looking at Anthony in front of him, Jiang Yang was stunned for a moment, but Jiang Yang would not let go of such an opportunity.

Directly dribbled through Anthony, and then before the opponent could make up the defense, Jiang Yang sent the basketball into the basket.

"Gotcha? Scored? Looking at Anthony behind him who didn't care about him, Jiang Yang looked at his hand a little strangely.

"Well done! The next ball is yours to play! Seeing that Jiang Yang succeeded in beating Anthony alone, Rondo couldn't help laughing.

Going back with Rondo, Jiang Yang looked at Anthony opposite, it was really a little strange, this guy was tired?

And after seeing Jiang Yang's success in singleing Anthony, Doug Rivers also signaled to Paul Pierce next to him that he could sit down.

Pierce is also happy to take a break now, and he is really happy to see Jiang Yang's performance on the court.

Now Jiang Yang may be the only one left on the court who doesn't know Anthony's details, and George Karl, the coach of the Nuggets, the anti-cancer fighter, and one of the famous coaches in the league, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he saw Anthony's movements.

Anthony is good at everything, if he can train his defense with peace of mind, then he will be the strongest man! James' offense basically relies on his body, although he has begun to pay attention to his skills in the past two years, but how is his skill an opponent for Anthony?

Kobe Bryant is getting older and older, and his body can't keep up, so in recent years he has been focusing on technique, even if his skills are better than Anthony's, but how is his body an opponent for Anthony? And Wade, that guy is fast.

But when it comes to shooting, height and influence, as long as Anthony plays with peace of mind, he is not scared of anyone in this league!

But bad is bad for his talent, people who don't have talent know their level, so they will train hard and defend hard.

Just like Jiang Yang, he knows his level, so after entering the league, everything is based on defense.

But Anthony is different, he has lived in an aura of genius since he was a child, which also makes him only offensive since he was a child.

It's all about offense, and he's always got people around him to help him defend and let him focus more on attack.

So now his offense is getting better and better, but his defense is getting worse and worse, which is a bit of a void.

It was once said that if Anthony could defend, he would be the next Michael Jordan, but of course that's just talk.

The next game did not have anything to do with Jiang Yang and Anthony, after Ty Lawson on the opposite side did not have Jiang Yang's suppression, he first hit a layup, and then stole Rondo's ball and then made a layup again to score four points in a row, you must know that he was before just now, but Jiang Yang did not score a point to suppress, but in the face of Rondo, he scored four points in a row, which really did not give Rondo face.

So Rondo didn't give him face, and directly dribbled the ball into the interior, broke through to the layup, and chased the score back to two points.

J.R. Smith's shot over there was blocked by Ray Allen, Garnett got the rebound, and the game continued.

And this time, after falling into a positional battle, Rondo handed the ball to Jiang Yang again and let Jiang Yang play Anthony alone.

Anthony on the opposite side still set up a frame, staring at Jiang Yang's movements, Jiang Yang took the ball, facing Anthony, he was not as careful as when he singled him for the first time, but the ball protection is still very good, you can despise the opponent from strategic skills, but you must pay attention to the opponent tactically, plus Jiang Yang has not yet reached the situation where he can despise Anthony.

At least Anthony is still bluffing when he stops there! Jiang Yang looked at Anthony and walked over slowly.

This time he didn't choose to break through, he took a step forward, Anthony took a step back, and the essence of the three threatening positions.

Jiang Yang looked at Anthony in front of him, took the ball and continued to want to break through, but this time Anthony didn't let Jiang Yang break through so easily, and his hand was still very long, so he directly pulled Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang was startled, and immediately took the ball back.

As a result, it was found that Anthony didn't dig it at all, but at this time he was already stepping on the three-point line with the ball in both hands, looking at Anthony's center of gravity in front of him had not been adjusted, Jiang Yang's body was almost subconscious, suddenly jumped back, and then jumped up directly, and threw a three-point shot directly in front of Anthony, although Anthony stretched out his hand, but he didn't block it, Jiang Yang's basketball rotated and turned into the basket, three points, or three points shot in front of Anthony!

Jiang Yang was also stunned after throwing this goal! Originally, I wanted to break through, but who knew that I made a mistake in and out, and I actually bukkake Anthony, which is really exciting! As soon as Jiang Yang's three-point shot was scored, the benches on the Celtics' side jumped up for the first time and began to wave their towels, and the sound of oh oh stimulated everyone's nerves on the Nuggets.

"Shhh......h

But no matter how they booed, the current Nuggets team was indeed bukkake by Jiang Yang, and the score on the court was narrowed to two points!

96-94! Anthony, who let Jiang Yang score five points in front of him, had a very ugly face, and let Jiang Yang go to the basket for the first time, he admitted it! Didn't fight back, just gave the ball to J.R. Smith and got himself an assist.

But now Jiang Yang dares to bukkake himself again, superstars are very perverted, and paranoia is paranoid about face at some point, so Anthony is angry, and the next time he attacks, he starts beckoning for the ball.

Ty Lawson did not hesitate and handed the ball directly to Anthony, after all, Anthony is still the boss of the team.

Anthony looked at Jiang Yang and broke through, but Jiang Yang's little black hand began to pinch his waist the moment he broke through.

When Anthony felt that the situation was not right, he had already used his strength and speed to get rid of Jiang Yang's pursuit and retreat.

Then he looked at Jiang Yang with an angry face, in his opinion, these small actions really can't be on the table, but Jiang Yang doesn't care if these things can't be on the table, now the most important thing for him is to prevent Anthony's attack.

And Anthony doesn't care what Jiang Yang thinks now, he is also a dry three-point shot directly in front of Jiang Yang.

If it is Wade or James, it is not easy to break through, and they will also break through at this time, but Anthony's offensive means are indeed not comparable to the two of them, so at the first time, Anthony chose the most suitable way to play, and the basketball with spin plunged into the basket.

Three points, Anthony got back three points for the Nuggets, Jiang Yang looked at the court and shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

On the offensive end, Jiang Yang can score is already good, and on the defensive end, it is impossible to expect to be able to defend against Anthony.

Then Rashid Wallace received an assist from Garnett, and hit a shot, but Billups, who came on the court immediately, also hit the color, and the score on the sidelines continued, with 5 minutes and 21 seconds left in the game, the substitutes on both sides went off the court, and the main players came on the court to prepare for the last five minutes of the game, Perkins replaced Rasheed Wallace, Pierce replaced Jiang Yang, and now Jiang Yang has 17 points and 6 assists in the whole game, which is enough for a backup point guard.

Then the game on both sides has been grinding, and the hit rate on both sides is not too high, but the fight is very intense.

After all, there is only a five-point difference between the two sides, although the Nuggets have the advantage, but the advantage is not obvious, from 105-100, Kyle began to chase points! With 3:28 left in the game, Pierce received a pass from Rondo and hit a layup!

Then Garnett caused a foul on Kenyon Martin on the inside, but unfortunately only one of the two free throws!

103-105, the Celtics are only two points apart! And at the most critical moment, Nene was stealed by Perkins, Perkins passed the ball to Pierce, Pierce layup was fouled by Jr Smith, two free throw opportunities, but unfortunately he only scored one.

Although the impact of these devils on the old fritters has been minimized, the noise is still there after all.

105-104, the Celtics are only one point behind the opponent! And at the most critical moment, J.R. Smith caused a foul on Rondo, made two free throws, and led the Green Shirts by three points at 107-104 with 2:48 left in the game!

The Green Shirts asked for a timeout, but Jiang Yang did not return to the court after the timeout, and the starters were still playing.

At such a critical time, it is not the time to let Jiang Yang go, Jiang Yang is still very disadvantaged in the face of Billups.

But Ray Allen played an important role in key moments, he hit a three-pointer from the outside, 107-107, and while scoring his 25th point, Ray Allen also helped the Celtics tie the score! Although Kenyon Martin immediately deceived Garnett's foul, he also hit two free throws, and the Nuggets only led by one point, and after Pierce got the rebound, the Celtics immediately called a timeout, and after the timeout came back, Garnett overtook the score of the layup, but unfortunately missed!

And Anthony, on the other side, showed his strong offensive ability and hit a three-point shot! The 111-107 margin stretched to four points, which was a safe score, although Garnett hit a layup to chase the score back to two points.

But time is running out, Ray Allen fouled Nene and made one of two free throws, 112-109 Nuggets still lead by three points!

Pierce then hit a jumper to make it 111-112, and Ray Allen immediately fouled Billups.

Billups is still very stable, two free throws and two hits, 114-111, still only three points advantage, but the Celtics have little time, after Rondo hits, the score becomes 114-113, but then the foul is committed on Anthony, Anthony missed the first free throw, and the second free throw is directly missed, after the basketball flew back to Billups's side, Billups threw the basketball into the sky, and when the basketball was still falling, the game was over!

Rondo and Ray Allen looked at the basketball that had fallen back with some helplessness, but it was useless to say anything at this time.

In the end, the Celtics lost to Pepsi Center with a gap of 113 + 114 points, which is really a pity!
