Chapter 190: Destroy the Lakers

With the performance of Jiang Yang and Rondo on the backcourt, the Celtics continued to have the advantage of the score, and in the final half, they overtook the Lakers by five points at 52-47 and entered the first halftime, at halftime, Jiang Yang was directly named the best player on the Celtics side in the half, Jiang Yang's role on the bench is really very big, no matter who it is, it is always not good for Jiang Yang, especially Luke Wharton, he was finished by Jiang Yang, not to mention a point, and he also carried three fouls.

"I told my friends at the Celtics that Danny Ainge had been willing to sell Jiang Yang the other day, and the Lakers were one of the bidders!" At halftime, the players on both sides rested, and the commentator was the perfect time to explain with his mouth wide open.

"Yes, I've heard about it too, but now look at Jiang Yang's performance, it's good that Danny Angie didn't sell him, otherwise he would have been scolded miserably!" Buckley next to him also said with a smile, although he didn't like the Chinese and didn't like the Chinese players.

But it is not hindered, his affirmation of Jiang Yang's current performance, in Buckley's mouth, this year's rookie is not very strong, but Jiang Yang can definitely be ranked in the top five, in fact, Jiang Yang is not only a top five problem now, as the Celtics' team record is getting better and better, and Jiang Yang's data is steadily improving, Jiang Yang is now competing with the top three rookies.

In addition to Evans, who has been 20+5+5 results, relatively stable, plus directly became the boss of the Kings, the remaining Curry and Jennings are just the little brothers in the team, but Jiang Yang is different from them is that Jiang Yang is a substitute and they are the main force, but Jiang Yang's identity as a Chinese has also made Jiang Yang receive more attention.

In the United States, Jiang Yang is still ranked fourth, but in China, he has squeezed into the top three, pressing Stephen Curry, Jennings' 55 points are too rebellious, and Evans's 20+5+5 average per game is too scary.

"I heard that this Jiang Yang didn't play basketball at all before, and the league and the players' union have his information, and legend has it that before he entered the NBA, he only played a three-person street basketball invitational tournament in China, and after winning the city championship, he didn't continue to participate, and followed his translator to the United States together, wanting to participate in the Yili Sea Eagles, but unfortunately he was a black family at the time, hehe, I said so...... Didn't you offend Jiang Yang! Kenny Smith next to him read Jiang Yang's news.

People now are very gossipy, and Jiang Yang suddenly appeared, so naturally he couldn't escape other people's human flesh searches.

Not only in the United States, but also in China, Jiang Yang's life experience and net worth have been dug up all over again, almost more than three times as much, of course, only Koreans have always believed that Jiang Yang is a descendant of the Korean nation, but no one pays attention to them.

Jiang Yang once worked as a black household in the United States, and he has also found out, but because Jiang Yang has not done anything else, the police have not troubled Jiang Yang, after all, he is now a public figure in the United States.

He was just asked to fill out an application form for a labor visa, which was not a big deal for Jiang Yang.

"Yes, legend has it that this guy never knew how to play, and it only took half a year to play to his current level, if he can continue to develop, maybe next year, he will be an All-Star player in the league, haha!" Buckley looked at his partner and said with a smile, he actually said that it was not unreasonable, after all, there are only more people left in China.

However, at this time, Jiang Yang didn't have any leisure to listen to his nonsense there, and after returning to the locker room, Jiang Yang began to listen to Doug Rivers talk about tactics, in the first half today, the Celtics' tactics played well, of course, the first quarter was just an accident.

This pit was filled in in the second quarter, and Jiang Yang's role on the bench was seen by everyone, which was very dazzling!

So at the beginning of the third quarter, Jiang Yang was still sitting on the bench and watching the performance of the players on the court!

It may be that after Jiang Yang scored 14 points, Rondo was under some pressure! In the second half, Rondo began to do whatever he wanted in front of Fisher, and his layup helped the Celtics pull the score away again, but Lao Yu is an experienced player after all, and he also scored four points in a row to save his face, and Artest also scored four points in a row to help the Lakers tie the score.

But after that, Rondo continued his performance, consecutive attacks, coupled with Perkins' toughness on the inside, the Celtics pulled away from the score 67-62, and at this time Jiang Yang also replaced Ray Allen on the court and played a deputy for Rondo, who was playing smoothly.

Although the scores of both sides in this quarter were not too high, Rondo still scored ten points in a single quarter, helping the Celtics to lead the opponent by nine points at 75-66 and enter the decisive battle, and Jiang Yang also hit a mid-range shot after playing in this quarter of the game, turning his score into 16 points, and also found two assists on Rondo's body, 16 points and 6 assists, and now Jiang Yang's data, at least it looks no worse than those second-tier point guards in the league, and he has also established his position as the sixth man in the Celtics. Tony Allen, who was originally not convinced by Jiang Yang, has long been convinced by Jiang Yang.

At the beginning of the last quarter of the game, in order to limit Jiang Yang, the Lakers did not replace Kobe, but continued to keep Kobe Bryant on the court and let him keep an eye on Jiang Yang's firepower, but Jiang Yang's firepower point was stared at to death, which does not mean that others have no feelings.

Jiang Yang was defended, Eddie House, who played point guard, immediately became the team's main point of attack, he hit a three-point shot after receiving Jiang Yang's pass, and then Jordan Famar hit a mid-range shot, and it was also a color, but he later hit a three-point shot!

Instantly helped the Celtics to stretch the score to as many as 12 points, 12 points, with the current level of the Lakers, it is not so easy to chase, there are too many weaknesses on their bench, and Pau Gasol made a mistake in passing at a critical moment.

was directly stolen by Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang stole and then rushed towards the opponent's half, now Jiang Yang's physical fitness is A+, purely in terms of speed, although Jiang Yang has no way to compare with Harris and Parker, but it is definitely a faster existence in the No. 1 position, Kobe Bryant, who defended Jiang Yang, had no choice but to foul Jiang Yang and send Jiang Yang to the free throw line.

Jiang Yang made two free throws, at this time he had already scored 18 points and 7 assists, and Kobe Bryant had a lot of fouls, plus his age was there after all, so he could only get off the court and replace him with a dunk, Shannon Brown, at present, Shannon Brown has made Jiang Yang's defense almost vomit blood, and he didn't score a point! In the face of Jiang Yang, he shot again, or hit iron.

However, after Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound by Gasol on the inside, he hit a rebound and increased his score to 11 points.

Then Tony Allen, who played small forward, fell into a siege when he broke through, and wanted to pass the ball to Jiang Yang, but Shannon Brown took the opportunity to steal, and then hurry up, Jiang Yang has already returned to the defense in advance One step ahead, Jiang Yang's current reputation is definitely a defensive master in the league, and in today's game, he has beaten Shannon Brown and does not dare to attack anymore, so he can only pass the ball.

But his luck was really good, as soon as he passed the ball casually, the basketball fell into Odom's hands, who slipped back to the number, but his own level was not bad, Odom shouted, rose from the ground, and dunked the basketball directly into the basket.

After scoring four points in a row, the Lakers began to slowly chase the score, turning the score into 74-84, still ten points behind the Green Army.

Ten points was a watershed moment in the game, the Lakers asked for a timeout, and after the timeout came back, Kobe Bryant replaced Artest, and then the Celtics replaced Tony Allen with Rondo, and both sides were playing small lineups.

At present, the Lakers' outside lineup is, Famar, Shannon Brown and Kobe, and the Celtics' outside lineup is, Rajon Rondo, Eddie House and Jiang Yang, compared to the opponent's lineup, the Celtics are even more ugly, three point guards ~ three point guards are indeed a bit much, so now that Danny Ainge is not ready to change Jiang Yang, then maybe Eddie House's words will not be too good! Especially after Marquis Daniels' comeback, it's even harder to say.

But that's all for the future, now they just want to play well. As Bryant came on the court, hit a mid-range shot, and then Famar hit a layup, the Lakers were slowly narrowing the score, but at the critical moment, Rasheed Wallace received a pass from Rondo and scored a three-point shot, which was also the first shot he made in the game.

A three-pointer helped the Celtics continue to pull the score away, and when there were 5 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game, Jiang Yang was replaced off the court, and the main lineups on both sides came on the court and began to chase points! Sure enough, the Lakers' main team and bench are not on the same level at all.

The main team just came on the court, Shannon Brown, who was not guarded by Jiang Yang, scored four points in a row to chase the score, and at the critical moment, Garnetra hit a shot after Pierce's pass, stabilized the situation, and led the opponent by eight points at 90-82.

But immediately, Bynum, who was on the inside, turned around and made a jumper, and then both sides began to fight defensively! Scores on both sides, almost every point, were scored from free throws after fouls, and almost zero points were scored in the open game, from the final moment of Bynum's layup until the final 45 seconds of the game, when the Lakers' Ron Artest hit a jumper on a run.

Changed the score to 88-93, and there are still five points left! Both sides began to change players, especially the Celtics, who replaced Rondo's and replaced Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang's defense at this time is more suitable for the players on the field, first of all, he is enough.

After Jiang Yang came on the court, it was Kobe Bryant who defended, and with 45 seconds left on the court at this time, the Celtics began to press the time.

After Jiang Yang dribbled the ball past half court, he looked at Fisher who was defending him in front of him, hesitated, he felt that it should not be difficult for him to hit Fisher, but looking at Pierce's gaze, Jiang Yang also knew that he couldn't play randomly at this time, after thinking about it, when there were no 29 seconds left in the game, Jiang Yang handed the ball to Pierce, and after Pierce took the ball, he directly hit the basket.

He faced Artest, Artest had nothing to say, two savage men met together, naturally fighting muscles, but Artestern suddenly stopped fighting, a simple retreat, out of the way, and Pierce did not take precautions, but did not expect the other party to play yin, suddenly did not stand, bumped into Gasol who came to make up for the defense, Gasol's big head of two meters and one three, like a baby hit by a train, directly hit the fly!

At this time, Pierce was stunned, the referee was also stunned, and the fans in the stadium were also stunned!

"Offensive foul!" There is nothing to say about this, although I know that Gasol has a certain performance component, but Pierce did foul just now, when Gasol fell to the ground, his feet were already steady, and Pierce was still in motion.

The referee's decision, after the replay on the big screen, found that there was no problem, but the boos of the home fans still came, there was no way, at such a critical time, this attack was ended like this, and the Celtics are not stable now!

At this time, Kobe Bryant, who received the ball, began to attack directly, and with 15 seconds left in the game, he hit a shot, turning the score into 90-93, originally he wanted to shoot three points, but Jiang Yang's defense was very strict, and his hand was not too good today, so after hesitating, Kobe Bryant chose a two-point shot, and this two-point shot also put the score of the game in.

At this time, there were still 15 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Lakers adopted foul tactics, and the first foul was committed on Jiang Yang, which was not an away game, although it was also a critical moment, but Jiang Yang was not too nervous.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yang hit the first free throw steadily, and this penalty also means that the Lakers have no way to solve the battle in one offense.

And when Jiang Yang's second free throw hit, it was almost determined, and the Lakers couldn't make any waves in this game.

Although Bryant hit a two-point shot in the end, the game was actually over, and finally the Celtics won the game 95-93 at home, although the highest point difference between the two sides was stretched to 14 points, but in the end the Lakers filled the score back, leaving only a two-point difference, indicating that this game was really hard!

Rondo won the title of the most valuable player of the game, he contributed a game-high 21 points plus 10 assists, Jiang Yang's 20 points were the second highest on the team and the game, and Jiang Yang also had 8 assists.

Now Celtic fans have liked to call Jiang Yang and Rondo the twin stars in the backcourt, of course, this is just their name.

Outside, Jiang Yang is just an ordinary rookie, even if his ability is good, no one knows what will happen in the future.

Garnett had 0 points and 9 rebounds, Pierce scored 15 points, and Ray Allen scored 7 points.

With 19 points, he didn't play too well today, with Ray Allen completely abandoning his offense to focus on defending him.

This also made Kobe very helpless, and the other core of the Lakers team is not his sister-in-law, he only has 11 points and 11 rebounds in the whole game, and the second core is Bynum, he got 19 points and 11 rebounds today, and the number of rebounds is the same as Gasol's.

Artest scored 11 points in the game, and off the bench, Farmar scored 8 points and Shannon Brown scored 6 points, which were basically not scored when he was in opposition to Jiang Yang, although Eddie House's three-point shot at the critical moment was not soft, but his defensive level was really limited! After playing the game against the Lakers, the Celtics have all ended their games this month.

And the next game in February, for them, it is also not easy to play! The first team they met was not very strong.

No. 1 plays the Wizards on the road, No. 3 No. 5 and No. 7 are three consecutive home games, respectively against the Heat, Nets and Magic, and then a five-game away game against the Hornets, against the Kings, against the Lakers, against the Pearls and against the Nuggets, of which the Lakers and the Trail Blazers are two back-to-backs, and then the last three consecutive home games, respectively against the Knicks, the Cavaliers and the Nets. Although it seems that the lethality of the five consecutive away games in the middle is relatively large, in fact, Jiang Yang and the others are not very worried about the five consecutive away games, because in between, after playing the Hornets, it is the annual All-Star Weekend, and they have five days off to recuperate their physical strength.

And Jiang Yang was also officially invited to participate in this year's first-year team, although he can't start, but he can always substitute for the image, for domestic fans, as long as the Chinese show their image in the All-Star Game! Otherwise, do you think that so many votes are given to Yao Ming every year, just for him to throw a three-point shot at the beginning of the court, or to throw a mid-range shot?

All-star, this is more of a status symbol, although Jiang Yang joined the league late this year, when he joined, the league began to review this year's all-star vote, so Jiang Yang's name did not enter the All-Star game.

But there's a Rookie Challenge, which isn't bad either! With such a mood, Jiang Yang and they went to Washington, where they were going to play the Wizards, compared to the Celtics' relaxed mentality now, the situation on the Wizards' side is not optimistic.

On December 19, 2009, on the plane back to Washington after playing an away game, Arenas turned his face with his teammate Christian because of playing cards and gambling, and the latter made a gun shooting during the argument. Joke', took out four pistols from the team's locker room, his locker, and defiantly asked Christian to choose one of them, and Christan on the other side was not a good bird, he had long been on guard and took out his unlicensed pistol directly, so the two violated the strict marksmanship and NBA regulations in the District of Columbia, and at the beginning of the year, Arenas had been announced to be banned from all the rest of the season! This is a heavy blow to the Wizards, whose goal is to make the playoffs this year, just like the Auburn Hills Palace incident, after it came out, almost the team did not fall apart.

And the current Wizards are like that, the players don't want to stay in a team with a scandal!

Therefore, several cores have the meaning of going, and the Wizards, who originally had playoff hopes, have embarked on the road of reconstruction!
