Chapter 213: The Violent Buckle Opens
Two days later, the Celtics had their second home game against the Knicks.
The Knicks are now confirmed not to qualify for the playoffs, after all, it's the end of March, and it's time for them to be finished.
Although they brought in Maddie this year, it seems that they are not ready to renew Maddie's contract, and they are more interested in Maddie after cutting him, they can use more salary space to attract the little emperor LeBron James.
Before the game, Jiang Yang got the news that he would start point guard today, and Jiang Yang was still quite surprised by this news.
Although Rondo's form has not been very good recently, with a lot of assists per game, the score has always been five points and six points.
But it's not to the extent that Jiang Yang can play! However, it may be because the Knicks are too weak, so Doug Rivers wants to let Jiang Yang play instead of Rondo, so that Rondo can find a feeling off the court, of course, it may also be because Doug Rivers found out that Jiang Yang was not allowed to play in the last game, and let him play as a starter this time to compensate Jiang Yang...... Of course, this is almost impossible.
Now the Knicks' formation is still relatively deformed, center David Lee can be regarded as the shortest center in the league, of course, not the shortest, only Chuck Hayes is still there, he is quite far away from the shortest!
There are no big forwards, small forwards Gallinari, Bill Walker, although Gallinari is 208 cm tall, but he can only play small forwards, his strength is against any big forward in the league is the main abuse, guards Maddie and Tony Douglas, he is the 29th rookie this year, and after being selected by the Lakers, he was selected by the Lakers to the Knicks.
He will be in opposition to Jiang Yang today! It was because the Knicks traded Nate Robinson that he had a chance to play.
On March 17, 2010, at the Boston Celtics TD home, the game officially began!
To the cheers of the audience, the Celtics ushered in the challenge of the Knicks, and when the referee threw the basketball into the air, David Lee and Perkins jumped at the same time and slapped the basketball! David Lee is as short as Perkins.
The bouncing is not very good, so this jump ball is basically fair, David Lee slapped the basketball directly to his side and handed it to Tony Douglas, who dribbled past half court and found Jiang Yang.
"Jiang Yang's physical strength is not strong, hit him at this point!" This is the instruction that D'Antoni gave to Douglas after learning that Jiang Yang was the starter, indeed in the previous games, Jiang Yang's physical fitness was good, but the strength and intensity of his body were a little worse, and he was beaten into a sieve by Rudy Gaiyi and James! So now it's no problem to let Tony Douglas, who is known as the strongest guard in this rookie, play Jiang Yang! After all, Jiang Yang's body suffered a little from Evans.
So at the beginning, let Douglas play Jiang Yang, the Knicks played a good wishful thinking, after Tony Douglas passed half time, he found Jiang Yang and motioned to his teammates to pull away, he wanted to single Jiang Yang, watching the opponent's movements, Jiang Yang couldn't help but be happy.
It's really looking for abuse...... Slowly lowering his center of gravity, Jiang Yang looked at Tony Douglas in front of him and smiled.
"I heard that your strength is very good!" Tony Douglas has always had some complaints about Jiang Yang, who entered the NBA with him a year ago and had never even played a serious game before, but now his reputation is even better than himself.
The inferior root surname of human beings is like this, in their opinion, Jiang Yang is nothing remarkable, so after D'Antoni arranged this tactic today, he began to find trouble with Jiang Yang, and the first ball found Jiang Yang, in order to fight alone!
"Really? How come I haven't heard of it? You can give it a try! Jiang Yang looked at Tony Douglas in front of him and laughed.
Looking at Jiang Yang's smiling face, Tony Douglas couldn't help but snort coldly, he was going to teach Jiang Yang a lesson this time.
Tony Douglas trusted D'Antoni so much that after a crotch dribble, he rushed straight to Jiang Yang.
The meaning is very obvious, it is to eat you! Jiang Yang moved to the side, blocking his forward path.
Tony Douglas bumped into Jiang Yang, but was bounced back by Jiang Yang's greater force, which frightened him!
Jump right away, because if you hold the ball and go backwards like that, it's a walking violation...... can only force a shot, and what Jiang Yang is waiting for is for him to force a shot! Jiang Yang, who has recently jumped higher, hasn't tried it in the competition yet! In Tony Douglas's frightened gaze, Jiang Yang flew up directly, and the opponent's basketball had just shot, and before it reached the highest point, Jiang Yang directly slapped the basketball away with a volleyball smash action!
"Oh, Jiang ...... Ocean! The DJ at the scene roared Jiang Yang's name loudly, this ball Jiang Yang played so beautifully.
The basketball smashed directly on the floor and bounced to the side, just as Maddie picked a straight shot and shot three-pointers, but unfortunately it didn't go in.
After being rebounded by Ray Allen, he handed it to Jiang Yang, who took the ball and rushed directly towards the opponent's half.
Everyone also knows that Jiang Yang has been bouncing a lot lately, and they all want to show it off, but they haven't shown it yet.
In the last game, it was originally an opportunity, but Doug Rivers didn't let Jiang Yang play, how did he dunk off the court?
Jiang Yang dribbled the ball directly into the opponent's inner line, directly electric cross-step, and directly forced Tony Douglas in one step.
After rushing into the inside line, Bill Walker, who was more defensive, wanted to defend against Jiang Yang, but with his 198 cm height?
Jiang Yang jumped up directly in front of him, and Bill Walker also jumped up, but his hand only touched Jiang Yang's elbow, which was still far from Jiang Yang's hand, Jiang Yang couldn't help but sigh when he looked at this situation.
I used to always play the role of Bill Walker, jumping hard, but the result was a lot worse than the other party.
But now Jiang Yang can say that he can't tell any player, Bill Walker doesn't understand at all, why Jiang Yang can jump so high, because in his memory, Jiang Yang's bounce is not a very top existence, but why is it so strong today?
Jiang Yang didn't give him time to think at all, and directly smashed the basketball into the basket with a tomahawk-style slam dunk with one hand in the air with his right hand.
And it just so happened that his arm was still on Bill Walker's hand, and the referee next to him blew the whistle loudly at the beginning and fouled! There's nothing to say, it's just a foul! Bill Walker also raised his hand a little helplessly, and Jiang Yang was very excited after he landed, Yan Buckle, this is the legendary Yan Buckle, he didn't give the other party any face, just a violent buckle!
"It's so cool!" Jiang Yang, who has always played floor flow before, couldn't help but wave his fists at this time, it's great!
"Beautiful!" At this time, Garnett and Pierce next to them all came over, beating Jiang Yang's chest and patting his arm, Jiang Yang's opening buckle is really very cool, it is indeed very fan! And Jiang Yang was also very excited.
Doug Rivers on the court looked at Jiang Yang's movements, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then laughed, it seems that Jiang Yang's physical fitness is indeed strong! The game has just begun, a block, a dunk 2+1, so that Jiang Yang instantly became the darling of TD Garden, as for why Jiang Yang has such an abnormal performance, no fans will care, they will only care about whether Jiang Yang plays well or not! As for what happened after the game, there were naturally other sayings, and Jiang Yang was not ashamed.
His physical fitness knows in his heart that anything like stimulants has nothing to do with Jiang Yang.
He is not afraid of shadows, this is the true portrayal of Jiang Yang now, he is so confident! Keep playing and hit the free throws accurately! At the beginning of the game, Jiang Yang raised the morale of the Celtics, probably shocked by Jiang Yang's style of play.
Ni is sorry for the first three offenses in the opening, none of them played inside, but they all floated on the outside to shoot three-pointers, and the first three three-pointers did not score, and the Celtics also took the opportunity to play a 7-0 small **, in addition to Jiang Yang's 2+1, Perkins also ate well on the inside, and Garnett also hit a shot, and then the Knicks remembered that their interior line is also an All-Star level.
David Lee cheated Perkins into a foul on the inside, hit two free throws and opened the scoring for Ni Sorry! Two minutes later, Maddy scored a point with a free throw, but he also had two turnovers and a foul on Garnett, Garnett scored six straight points under the basket, and Jiang Yang rushed inside again to dunk and establish a ten-point lead for the Celtics.
Now Jiang Yang really likes the feeling of violent buckles, but no one dares to guard against him too close, and his big killer is still three points!
After the half-quarter pause, the two sides went back and forth, after Maddie made a basket, Jiang Yang took advantage of Tony Douglas to defend himself a little far, and directly pulled out the three-point position, Maddy caused Glen Davis's foul when he fought for the ball, and hit both free throws, Jiang Yang went off the court, and Rondo played! After the Celtics' bench played a wave of 7-2 small **, the first quarter ended, and the Celtics were 32-19 in a single quarter!
Jiang Yang played 8 minutes and 06 seconds in the first quarter of the game, and scored a total of 8 points plus 3 assists, and two violent dunks in the 8 points, which also ignited the fuse of the passion of the whole court. Now Jiang Yang has begun to feel like a star player.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks slowly chased the score closer, and the home team only Pierce and LaWallace could score, until Garnett returned to the court, scored four points in a row to stabilize the situation, Harrington scored five points in a row, Pierce returned a 2+1 layup, paused, the Big Three teamed up to score five points, and the Knicks fell into a scoring drought of more than two minutes, until halfway through the game, Maddie re-put on the game, and Jiang Yang also came to the court and started the game again!
As soon as Maddie came on the court, he staged a one-dragon layup, and Jiang Yang was not polite to him!
After directly rushing through Tony Douglas's defense, he reflexively dunked, and Jiang Yang was a layup before.
But now Jiang Yang likes to dunk more, and after Jiang Yang on the outside also passed many times, he had the opportunity, Garnett attracted Tony Douglas's bag on the inside, and then handed the ball to Jiang Yang on the outside with a long pass, and Jiang Yang hit a three-point shot directly.
The score on both sides continued to stretch, the Celtics attacked six times in a row, and Pierce and Jiang Yang scored three three-pointers in a row!
At halftime, the Celtics led the Knicks by a whopping 20 points, 69-49, and they scored 37 points in the quarter!
Jiang Yang had 16 points and 4 assists in the half, and his strong strength is now obvious to all! The second half of the game begins, and the two sides change places and fight again! Although David Lee shot the first ball, but in the face of the Celtics' strong defense, he quickly fell into a predicament, made mistakes again and again, Jiang Yang also took the opportunity to pick up two steals, Maddie wanted to rely on his personal ability to open the situation, but now he is not the original 100 million after all, and he didn't hit the rebound after throwing and grabbing, Pierce, Garnett and Jiang Yang, even lifted a small ** of 11-3, and the score directly became 80-54, leading by as many as 25 points! At this time, the Knicks had to ask for another timeout, and after the timeout, Gallinari shot three points, but Jiang Yang made a comeback!
Holding the ball, Jiang Yang passed half the court, looking at Tony Douglas who was defending himself in front of him, Jiang Yang couldn't help but be happy.
This guy was quite arrogant at the beginning, and the first ball came to him to fight alone, but by now, he has completely withered, looking at Tony Douglas who was standing in front of him and didn't even dare to breathe, Jiang Yang couldn't help but be happy!
Suddenly, with a crotch dribble, Jiang Yang was about to break through, but Tony Douglas reacted quickly and was stuck in Jiang Yang's forward position for the first time, but Jiang Yang's breakthrough was actually fake! In his surprised gaze, Jiang Yang suddenly retracted his feet, and then jumped high on the three-point line, if this is against an old fritter in the league, this move may not be very effective, because Jiang Yang's center of gravity has not moved, but it is enough to face Tony Douglas.
The basketball spun, flew past the three-point line, and plunged directly into the basket, bringing a wave of nets!
D'Antoni looked at Jiang Yang's ball off the field, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly, it was really difficult to defend.
Now it is more and more difficult to deal with Jiang Yang, if you defend him close, he will break through you, and now Jiang Yang's speed is very fast.
You squeeze his birth space, but you don't have as much strength as him, you have to prevent his breakthrough, first block his breakthrough route, Jiang Yang shoots three points on the outside, his three-point shot is too powerful, and now the Knicks don't know how to play.
It wasn't until Jiang Yang went off the court that Maddie hit a three-pointer to lead an 11-59 counterattack, and at the end of the third quarter, the Celtics led the opponent by 24 points at 95-71 into the final quarter...... In fact, at this time, the last quarter is already garbage time, although the Knicks have not given up, but they really have no need to play anymore, although the Knicks have been chasing points, but the Celtics did not have the idea of replacing the main force, and finally they played the bench and narrowed the score to less than 20 points, but then Sheldon Williams alone set off a wave of 6-0 offensive, reopening the difference to 20 points! Although the Knicks also hit consecutive shots and came back with a 10-3 offensive minor**, the difference between the two sides was still as much as 18 points...... The game lost its suspense early.
When the piercing bell rang, the Celtics won today's game 115-97, an 18-point margin.
The top scorers on both sides, the Celtics were Pilers, who scored 29 points and 6 rebounds, and David Lee also got 29 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists on the Knicks' side, a very well-rounded player, but unfortunately he was on the wrong team!
In addition to him, the Knicks also had a double-double three-point score, Maddy had 12 points and 7 rebounds, Gallinari had 11 points and 7 rebounds, Al Harrington had 16 points, and Tony Douglas, who was opposite Jiang Yang today, was completely watered, shooting 3 of 15 from the field, only 7 points were scored, and 1 of 8 three-pointers were made.
Jiang Yang scored a second-high 24 points, plus 11 assists and 4 rebounds, shooting 9-of-12 from the field.
And what is even more terrifying than him is Garnett, the opponent has no big forward, Garnett is like a fish in water on the inside and outside!
He scored 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting, Perkins had 9 points and 12 rebounds, Daniels 10 points, and Rondo came off the bench today for 18 minutes and only scored 5 points.
Rondo is the kind of player who will pass the ball when he has the opportunity and rarely attack on his own, which is different from Jiang Yang in this regard.
Jiang Yang has a chance to attack, then he has to attack, if he doesn't have a chance to attack, then pass the ball! Don't look at the difference in order.
The former has become a well-known tandem master in the league, while the latter has the potential to become a game-finisher.
At the end of the game, the fans in the stadium stood up and cheered for the Celtics, which was the team they expected, and they will play three consecutive away games against the Rockets, Mavericks and Jazz. Then there are back-to-back home games, and with 15 games to go, the Celtics' regular season this year is over, and now they are firmly in the playoffs.
The only question now is who their playoff opponents will be, and these recent times have been the time for them to adjust and select their rankings...... However, there are not too many rankings with chosen surnames, at least the first is definitely not to choose, and the knights take the lead!
