One hundred and fifty-one: The first shot! Jiang Yang!
In fact, Jiang Yang is not the only one who has the idea of playing Nelson, Perkins's jump ball is bad, everyone knows this, so it is no wonder that others prepare in advance, but there are always some surprises in everything, just like Jiang Yang scored 21 points that day, Perkins also ate a meal of dumplings today, and at the moment when the bell rang at the beginning of the game, Perkins and Howard jumped up for the first time.
Perkins, who was originally not superior in height, arm span, and physical fitness, actually jumped higher than Howard.
I took a picture of the basketball and was copied by Ray Allen, why Ray Allen? Because at the beginning just now, Jiang Yang and Rondo had already gone straight to Nelson, who knew that this time their own center would have a rare appearance.
"Awesome!" Jiang Yang looked at Perkins and couldn't help but raise his big finger a little embarrassed, it's rare!
But who knows, Perkins is a potato, and he doesn't scrape...... Just said that he was out of luck, but he immediately returned an offensive foul, and the ball was returned to the Magic team again, and he also accompanied his first foul.
On the Magic side, after Nelson dribbled past half court, he began to press the time, looked at the people around him, and Howard on the inside was quite uncomfortable by Perkins, who is one of the few in the league that can compete with Howard.
Garnett is also ready to help defend at any time, and Lewis is almost a transparent man on several lines...... Nelson, who didn't dare to pass the ball to the inside, hesitated for a moment and handed the ball to Petrus, who came to pick it up. After Petrus received the ball, he was about to attack directly, but he was suddenly blocked by Jiang Yang outside the three-point line.
was blocked by Jiang Yang, he took advantage of the situation and threw a three-pointer, but would Jiang Yang let him throw so comfortably?
Jumped directly, although it was not blocked, but it wiped the basketball and changed the trajectory of the basketball, and the basketball fell off before it reached the inside line, and was obtained by Rondo, who was running around with Nelson, but then Rondo's mid-range shot did not enter...... It wasn't until a minute and ten seconds after the start of the game that Carter hit the first ball on both sides!
At this time, Jiang Yang was still defending Petrus, and he didn't come to defend Carter, and Carter hit a mid-range shot in the face of Ray Allen.
Seeing Carter score, Ray Allen's face was naturally not good-looking, and the next ball Ray Allen singled himself, and after shaking Carter, he was fouled by Petrus and sent to the free throw line, and the two sides were tied, but the good times did not last long...... After Petrus and Vince Carter hit back-to-back three-pointers, the score was pulled apart in an instant...... After the start, the two guys took the Celtics' first seventeen points, and the Green Shirts were on their toes, but still trailed by five points at 12-17.
There is no way, Jiang Yang is not defenseless, but he has no way to defend himself, he goes to defend against Petrus, Carter will play, and to defend Carter, Petrus will play, Ray Allen will attack today, he is not very concerned about defense, but he handed over the two outside lines to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang is indeed very troublesome, fortunately, Rasheed Wallace, who came on the bench, scored five points in a row and handed it over to the Celtics to pull it back.
Just lost Pierce, the current Celtics are not very adaptable, at the end of the first quarter of the game, the Celtics trailed the opponent by one point at 18-19, Jiang Yang played 8 minutes and 03 seconds in the first quarter, not to mention a point, only sent out an assist, and a mistake, coldly playing the main force, Jiang Yang really has some discomfort, Doug Rivers knows Jiang Yang's situation.
So he didn't say anything to Jiang Yang, now Jiang Yang needs to adapt, and he understands, so he will give Jiang Yang time to adapt.
In the second quarter of the game, Doug Rivers made adjustments, Jiang Yang no longer defended Carter, but concentrated on defending Petrus, and the responsibility of defending Carter was handed over to Rondo, while Ray Allen defended Nelson, Nelson was a twitch.
As long as he doesn't feel like he pulls, his outside line is basically the least threatening one in the Magic team!
This kind of defense played a very big role, and in this quarter of the game, the Magic team only scored three people! And before halftime, in the final eight minutes and six seconds, Orlando even scored only two points on their home court!
scored eight points in a quarter, this is a gift from the Celtics to the Magic team, Jiang Yang concentrated on defending Pietrus, this kind of defensive strength is not something Petrus can withstand, three consecutive shots missed, and when he broke through, Jiang Yang pinched him with his little black hand.
There is no way to get Petrus, Howard on the inside is seen to death by Perkins, the only point that the team can attack is Carter's point, Jiang Yang returned to the court with 5 minutes and 36 seconds left in the second quarter, and after playing, Jiang Yang slowly regained his touch, at that time the score on both sides was 24-25, and the Celtics were still one point behind the opponent.
After Jiang Yang came on the court, Rondo was not on the court, and Eddie House dribbled past half court and handed the ball to Jiang Yang.
At this time, it was Vince Carter who defended him in front of Jiang Yang, this guy's offense was quite sharp, but the defense was ......, "Little ghost, this is not your world, let's go back and study hard!" "In the first quarter of the game, Jiang Yang's performance was extremely bad.
So Carter also ignored Jiang Yang a little, and the three threats were a little far away, and Jiang Yang saw them.
"Really? I don't think so! Seeing Carter's appearance in front of him, Jiang Yang suddenly took a step back, and then pulled out his hand directly outside the three-point line, looking at Jiang Yang's dry pull, Carter's eyelids couldn't help jumping.
"It's like Tracy's dry ......" is actually not like, it is! Carter and Maddie are cousins, the two have been playing together since they were children, and Carter is very familiar with Maddie's offense! Now seeing Jiang Yang's pull-up jumper, he really has some as if he saw Maddie pull-out jumper, and this ball is as accurate as Maddie's pull-out.
After the basketball drew an arc in the air, it smashed straight into the inside of the basket and catapulted into the net, Jiang Yang just came on the court with a three-point score, instantly helping his home team, overtaking the score, 27-25, and the Celtics overtook two points in this way.
Stan Van Gundy's outside defense is well-known in the league, but when the opponent starts to wrap up, how can Jiang Yang let go of a big vacancy? In this way, Jiang Yang got the first point and successfully helped the Celtics overtake the score.
"It feels like I'm back......" Holding his hand, Jiang Yang held three fingers high and greeted the boos of the audience.
In the first half, because he didn't adapt to the feeling on the court, Jiang Yang's performance has been very poor.
And this three-point shot in the second quarter also indicates that Jiang Yang has slowly regained the feeling of being a super sixth man before!
"Looking at Jiang Yang's ball just now, I know that his feel should almost be recovered, Stan is in trouble!" Seeing Jiang Yang hit a three-point shot on the court, Jeff Van Gundy looked at the situation on the court with a smile and said that his relationship with his brother was not very good.
Just like Jeff Van Gundy said, Jiang Yang really got the feeling back, after starting to get three points, Jiang Yang's feeling couldn't stop, with 3 minutes and 36 seconds left in the game, Rondo passed the ball to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang was at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and Jiang Yang didn't aim, before Petrus came to defend, Jiang Yang shot! And this ball hit again, and it was another three-pointer.
30-25, the score of the overtake reached five points, the Magic team had to ask for a timeout, the original lead, has now been overtaken by the Celtics to five points, such a situation, not Stan Van Gundy hoped! So he's going to rearrange!
After the pause came back, don't say, the tactics of the Magic team are really much better than just now, this guy Nelson has become the main point of attack, I have to say, there is a reason why Nelson joined the All-Star, this guy's offense and ability are good! Nelson hit a shot under Ray Allen's defense and pulled back two points, but this side is not polite, after Rondo came on the court, dribbled past half court, and handed the ball to Jiang Yang, who rushed into the interior and ran back, Howard had no time to defend, he could only watch Jiang Yang in front of him, and easily completed a backhand layup, so after Jiang Yang came on the court, he scored eight points in a row, and the difference was still five points.
Then Jiang Yang assisted Rondo, who hit a layup, Ray Allen received the ball and broke through, attracted the bag, and then passed it to Perkins, who hit a layup, and Perkins hit a layup...... The Green Shirts quickly opened the score with the Magic, 16 seconds before the end of the game, Rondo missed a jump shot, was blinded by Jiang Yang for an offensive rebound, and then threw the board into the basket, and finally Nelson couldn't shoot, the Celtics led the Magic 40-27 at halftime by a full 13 points, Jiang Yang scored 10 points in this quarter of the game, and the original feeling has allowed him to slowly find it.
In addition to 10 points, Jiang Yang also scored two assists in this quarter, 10 points and 2 assists, Jiang Yang became the second main point of attack on the court in addition to Ray Allen, although Jiang Yang has no way to replace Paul Pierce's position, but he has been playing better and better.
In the third quarter of the game, Jiang Yang continued to stay on the court, and as he hit a three-pointer again, the Celtics had a 17-point lead, which was also the biggest lead of the Green Shirts in the whole game. Although they have been attacking the basket, using breakthroughs and free throws to close the score gap, the Celtics did not give the opponent a chance.
The Celtics are running very well, but there is a problem on Jiang Yang's side, halfway through the third quarter, Jiang Yang is already a little unable to run, in the TV, Jiang Yang's movement is basically walking, not running towards the opening.
And such physical exhaustion appeared directly in Jiang Yang's movements, when there were 5 minutes and 57 seconds left in the second quarter of the game, Rondo completed a steal, and at this time Rondo, Ray Allen and Jiang Yang went down together, although Jiang Yang also ran hard, but his speed was at least twice as slow as at the beginning, and when Rondo and Ray Allen crossed the three-point line, Jiang Yang had not yet reached the halfcourt, and when they reached the three-point line, Rondo had already finished the ball, and Jiang Yang slowly began to walk backwards, Yes, it's walking, not running, Jiang Yang doesn't even have the strength to run now...... may have seen that Jiang Yang's physical strength was a little exhausted, and Carter rarely started to attack before half time.
Jiang Yang stuck it as usual, but his movements and steps were obviously much slower than in the first half.
"Hey!" Carter looked at Jiang Yang's footsteps, there was no extra movement at all, he directly stepped down to change hands and dribble, and then a sprint was directly wiped from Jiang Yang's side, Jiang Yang could only rely on his own perseverance, forcibly deflected his body's center of gravity, and wanted to block Carter's fast pace, Jiang Yang's body did move over, but there was no way to stand firm.
was lightly bumped by Carter, Jiang Yang lost his balance and sat on the ground, and Carter saw that the referee did not blow, so he naturally would not be polite to Jiang Yang, and rushed directly into the inner line, and Carter, who rushed into the inner line, is half the most terrifying existence in the world...... Carter jumped up directly after rushing to the inside line, Perkins and Garnett didn't even dare to stop him, after Carter completed a very beautiful one-handed windmill in the air, he directly dunked the basketball with a violent dunk, and when he jumped down, the audience cheered and thundered, and Jiang Yang, who fell to the ground at this time, had just gotten up, and at the same time Jiang Yang's hand was raised, and he knew his own affairs.
He wants to ask for a timeout, and then replace himself on the field, if he stays on the field any longer, it is estimated that he will not be able to see the sun tomorrow! This kind of competition intensity is not something he can withstand now, and Jiang Yang is very self-aware of this.
It is impossible for him to play on the court with his current physical strength, Doug Rivers looked at Jiang Yang's appearance, and also knew that Jiang Yang's physical strength was problematic, after Rondo dribbled past half court, he asked for a timeout, Doug Rivers replaced Jiang Yang directly with Tony Allen, Jiang Yang just got off the court, and he didn't even say hello, so he sat on the bench all of a sudden.
His chest was like a bellows, constantly bulging and bulging, and only he could feel the burning pain in his chest.
"Is there anything wrong?" Looking at Jiang Yang's grinning appearance, Doug Rivers asked Jiang Yang a little helplessly.
"Whew, my physical strength is a little unbearable!" Hearing Doug Rivers' words, Jiang Yang shook his head, in fact, if he saved a little fight, then it shouldn't be a problem for him to last more than thirty minutes, but who told Jiang Yang to work extremely hard at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
This kind of physical exertion is not something that ordinary people can withstand, even if a famous iron man in the alliance comes here to fight, it is impossible to play for 48 minutes, Jiang Yang, whose physical strength is only A-, can withstand 21 minutes is already a miracle! At least in Jiang Yang's opinion, he has been on the right side for so long, after all, his body is equally important.
"After all, time is still too short!" Looking at Jiang Yang, who was sitting on the bench and was about to collapse from exhaustion, Doug Rivers's forehead couldn't help but wrinkle, now Jiang Yang, he is quite satisfied with everything, the only thing he is not satisfied with is his physical fitness.
The Celtics team is almost all physical giants, Pierce needless to say, among the three S+ level physiques, he ranks second, when it comes to physical fitness in the league, only Howard can be compared to him, Garnett used to be a physical man, Ray Allen was a dunk when he entered the league, and his body naturally had nothing to say, although Rondo didn't run fast and jumped high, but playing for more than forty minutes was the same as playing, and Perkins, he was one of the few in the league who could defend Howard's master alone, Glenn Davis, the little fat man's body, is also just now, not to mention Tony Allen, who is competing with Jiang Yang for the substitute position, he is simply a muscle! There is no poor physical fitness in the entire Celtics team, and Jiang Yang may be the worst physical fitness in the entire Celtics team! But Doug Rivers is usually quite satisfied.
After all, Jiang Yang has only been playing basketball for a month, and he can have such physical fitness, which can already be seen that his body is quite good, but now that Pierce is injured, Jiang Yang can't stand up to the court for too long, which has become a big problem in the team.
"Take a break and see, and if it works, play again in the fourth quarter!" Looking at Jiang Yang, Doug Rivers said softly.
Hearing the head coach's words, Jiang Yang was so tired that he wanted to vomit, and he couldn't open his mouth at all, so he could only lean back on his chair and nod gently! Then watch the benches play against the Magic players on the court.
Today, the Celtics' hand style is indeed relatively smooth, even if they are playing on the court as a substitute, they are also playing loudly, and at the end of the third quarter, the Celtics still entered the final tiebreaker with a ten-point lead.
However, after the start of the last quarter, the Magic team's counterattack officially started, Jiang Yang had no way to play, so there was no defensive guard on the outside, no defensive guard, whether it was Carter or anyone else, he could score at will! And the Magic side also officially began to bloom more, they successfully continued the feeling of the third quarter, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Celtics was not on the court, constantly pulling in the score, and at the end of the half quarter, they slowly chased back, which is really a bit surprising.
With 6:30 left in the game, they narrowed the score to just six points...... Doug Rivers finally couldn't help it and began to send the main force upwards, but Jiang Yang still looked half-dead.
His physical strength was really seriously overdrawn in the first three quarters, and there was no way to get up and play again.
These are in the eyes of Doug Rivers, anxious in his heart, but it is useless to be in a hurry, Jiang Yang is now weak in his legs, and when he plays, he is not only irresponsible to him, but also to the fans and the team, so he can only let Tony Allen play!
But fortunately, after Jiang Yang was not on the court, there was also Rondo, who just came on the court, and within one minute, he scored two points and one assist, helping the Celtics directly re-lead the score to ten points...... But that doesn't stop the Magic's offense!
