"Chinese rookie brought good luck to Boston when he played, ending a two-game losing streak" Boston Herald

"Mascot? Or is it a product of the market? Or do you have some skills? Boston Phoenix

The news of Jiang Yang's debut is very hot in China, but in the United States, it is a bit bland.

Only local newspapers in Boston have made some reports, of course, such as the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald, the two mainstream Boston newspapers, just arranged a corner for Jiang Yang, after all, he is now just a rookie who has not been drafted, or a substitute, and he only has a mere seven minutes of playing time in the first game.

There are many rookies like this in the United States every year, if it weren't for Jiang Yang's Chinese ancestry, maybe he wouldn't even be able to get into the newspaper, except for the media in Boston, the media in other places didn't report too much on Jiang Yang's affairs.

The first is that there is no interview, and the second is because Jiang Yang is just a newcomer now.

On the other hand, the attitude in China, that is, the 1800-degree turn, originally when Jiang Yang said that he was going abroad, the domestic media became popular for a while, but then Jiang Yang's reputation was not obvious, and they slowly forgot about Jiang Yang.

But now Jiang Yang suddenly came out, and really caught them off guard, Jiang Yang played in the game, it was really news, Chinese basketball players are basically big and tall, whether it is Yao Ming, roughly, bus, or Yi Di, they are all insiders, and Jiang Yang is obviously an outside line, of course, the first outside line is Sun Yue.

It's a pity that Sun Yue is playing too stinky, and now he is in the third-rate league of the United States with the Aoshen, and he can't even play the NBDL.

After winning a championship with the Lakers last year, he left the NBA to become a free agent.

And Jiang Yang is obviously taking over his class now, think about how excited the Chinese people were when Sun Yue was selected.

What is Jiang Yang's reputation in China now, and many people are in YY Jiang Yang's basketball career.

If Jiang Yang knew what they were thinking, it was estimated that Jiang Yang would only smile, he was very self-aware.

His biggest problem now is to quickly improve all his abilities to A- or higher, so that he can gain a foothold in the NBA, so his training is definitely the hardest among all players.

After the training on November 19, Jiang Yang received the apartment rented by the team, generally speaking, players with a ten-day short-term contract are not eligible to live in the team apartment, but now Doug Rivers wants Jiang Yang to sign an additional contract.

So he deliberately asked the team to rent an apartment for Jiang Yang, saying that it was an apartment, but in fact, it was similar to what he lived with Liu Ya when he was in Yili before, that is, two rooms, which became three rooms.

But I finally have a place to stay here, and I don't have to sit in the hotel all day.

After a day of training, on the 20th, Jiang Yang's Celtics team ushered in the next opponent, Magic!

Speaking of the Magic, they are definitely one of the top teams in the league at present, last year in the absence of Garnett and others, the Green Army only played the second round of the playoffs, and was eliminated, and finally competed with the Lakers for the NBA championship, is to defeat the most optimistic Cavaliers Magic team, the Magic team this year has only one strategic goal, that is, the championship, but this summer they made some adjustments, last year in the team shine in the team Sido Turkoglou, left Orlando, Went to Toronto to assist Dragon King Bosh, and the team went in Carter to strengthen the perimeter.

Prior to this game, the Magic had also had a pretty good record, having won three in a row.

In this game against the Green Army, the Magic can be said to be very confident, and at the pre-game press conference, Big Van Gundy did not give Doug Rivers next to him a good look, of course, Rivers is not a rookie, and naturally he will not give him a chance.

On November 20, US time, at 8 o'clock in the evening, the game officially began, and today the court station also broadcast the game live.

"Audience friends, audience friends, welcome everyone turn on the TV on time, watch the 2009-2010 regular season of the American professional basketball brought to you by the court five regular season, Boston Celtics vs. Orlando Magic game, now the game is about to start, let's take a look at the starting list of the two teams, the Celtics starting list center is Kendrick Perkins, this is a defensive giant, the power forward is Kevin Garnett, and the small forward is captain Paul Pearce, The scoring guard is Ray Allen, who hits the most three-point shots among the active players, the point guard is Rajon Rondo, and the Chinese player Jiang Yang also appeared on the 12-man squad, at this time sitting next to the coach is Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang, this player is still very young, only 21 years old this year, born in Harbin in 88, he participated in the national 3x3 basketball invitational tournament held by the country a few months ago, and was originally the captain of the team that qualified in Harbin, and later gave up the game halfway because he was going to the United States for a trial. And a few months later, we finally saw Jiang Yang on TV. Teacher Sun Zhengping, looking at the words on the teleprompter, said to the audience in front of the TV with emotion.

"Here's the lineup of the Magic, the center of the Magic team is Dwight Howard, who is now known as the league's No. 1 center, this is a very talented player, big forward Rashad Lewis, small forward is known as the French Jordan, Michael Petrus, the shooting guard is All-Star caliber player Vince Carter, the point guard is Jason Williams, well, with the referee's whistle, the game begins!" Nelson, the Magic's main point guard, has recently been injured.

So the team used Williams, who was just brought in this summer, as the team's starting point guard.

As soon as the host's voice fell, the picture cut back to the game scene, Garnett and Howard stood in the middle circle, looking at the basketball in the referee's hand together, and at the moment when the bell rang for the game, the referee threw the basketball in his hand high into the sky.

But now Garnett is not Howard's opponent at all, Howard jumped, directly slapped the basketball to his side, Jason Williams received the ball, and quickly advanced towards the Green Army's half, white chocolate, Jason Williams.

Once known as one of the most talented players in the league, only those who are talented, everyone will give them nicknames, and like ordinary mascots and water cooler keepers, the general audience only remembers them as passerby A.

The former White Chocolate Williams is a particularly talented player, and his feints are hard to guard.

Especially his dribbling, almost everywhere is full of feints, otherwise his dribbling would not be ranked on the S+ ranking with Alstom, at that time, he could fool almost everyone in the league...... And the reason why he didn't have fire.

It's because he deceived everyone...... Even his teammates and coaches have lied to ...... The NBA is not a one-man world, where even if you can go five-to-five every time, the team won't win the game, and it's all about coordination here, and that's what you need to do as a point guard.

So although Williams has the talent and ability to become a superstar, he doesn't have the brain to become a superstar.

And he went on to get a championship ring with the Heat, and it wasn't because of his talent.

After moving to the Heat, he was polished into a decent point guard by Pat Riley, which proved to have almost worn off his talent, and he later chose to retire.

And this summer, he came back again and came to the Magic team, and the use of big Van Gundy outside players is much better than Pat Riley, because he believes in outside offensive tactics, but although the talent has been liberated to a certain extent, but because the team's leading player is not him, and there is a problem of age, white chocolate is no longer what he was at the beginning.

But even so, he still likes to play, and the first time he wiped Rondo, who came to defend, and then handed the basketball to Howard on the inside, and Howard had nothing to hesitate about facing Perkins.

jumped directly, in front of Perkins, it was a violent dunk, and the opening dunk was exactly what the Magic team was good at!

It may really be because of this violent dunk, or it may be because the Green Army is really too slow.

After Howard's dunk, Petrus hit two three-pointers in a row, and Williams and Carter added the icing on the cake.

Three minutes before the start of the game, the Magic team didn't give the Green Army any chance at all, and directly did a wave of 12-0 small **, giving the Green Army a dismount, and the Green Army had just reacted at this time.

Rivers had to call a timeout immediately, but it didn't work well after the timeout came back, and when the score came to 17-6, he called another timeout, but the offense didn't get any better, only Garnett could cut some sporadic three-pointers, and Pi Ruth continued to play, hitting another three-pointer, and with 2 minutes left in the game, when the first quarter was about to end, the opponent led the Green Army by as many as 21 points at 29-8...... At this time, the North Shore Garden, known as the home of the Devils, was rarely quiet, and looking at the score on the court, Doug Rivers knew that this game was not easy to play.

"Jiang, play, replace Rondo." After taking a look at the situation on the field, Doug Rivers decisively replaced the substitute.

Since the main team has no touch, it is useless to let them stay on the field, it is better to let the substitutes play.

"Got it!" Jiang Yang nodded, ripped off the clothes on his body, and then came to the sidelines, took advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball to come to the court, and played point guard, now Jiang Yang put on shoes 201 cm, playing point guard, and his vision is really great.

In addition, his original pass came from Johnson, and Johnson's smart surname also made the players very happy.

Although Johnson's showtime style of play is somewhat unsuitable, the defensive-oriented Green Army.

But it is not unreasonable to let Jiang Yang play as a substitute and then use the vitality on the field.

"Good job!" Seeing Jiang Yang on the field, the last main force left on the field, Ray Allen also smiled and cheered Jiang Yang up.

"Yes!" Jiang Yang also nodded, and then walked to the side, preparing the serve of the Green Army.

At this time, the players on the Celtics side were, center Sheldon Williams, power forward Rasheed Wallace, small forward Marquis Daniels, scoring guard Ray Allen, point guard Jiang Yang, and the original sixth man Eddie House stayed off the court, ready to hit the opponent's defense at the beginning of the second quarter.

Jiang Yang is a point guard, so the basketball was handed over to Jiang Yang for the first time, and at this time, the opposite Magic team also came off the bench, and now they are leading by 21 points, which is still very stable for them.

The center is Polish Hammer Marcin Gortat, the power forward is Ryan Anderson, the small forward is Matt Maynes, the shooting guard is J.J. Redick, and the point guard is Anthony Johnson...... As soon as Jiang Yang received the ball, Anthony Johnson pounced.

Anthony Johnson is a veteran in the league, has always been a pure substitute in the league, his most glorious era was the Pacers in the 05-06 season, but at that time, the average per game was not more than ten points, it can only be said that he is a good basketball leader, from 97 to now, he basically can't play, and the main reason why the Magic team stays is because they want to borrow his experience to play in the playoffs, but now with Jason Williams, his position has been seriously weakened, It is estimated that by the time Nelson returns from injury, he will have little time to play.

Looking at Jiang Yang in front of him, Anthony Johnson did not rush to grab it, but slowly approached Jiang Yang.

But he didn't mean to rob Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang didn't mean to let him go, the ball was handed over to his right hand, and he broke through directly to the basket, Jiang Yang's speed was not fast, it can be said that he was one of the slowest in the league, Anthony Johnson's reaction was very fast, and he blocked Jiang Yang's path for the first time, but Jiang Yang's speed was slow, and his habitual surname was small, and it was easy to take it back, seeing that the other party was blocked in front of him, Jiang Yang directly took back the steps he had taken, and then jumped up lightly outside the three-point line, Throw the basketball directly to the basket, and the opponent's height is different from his own.

And he was 'shaken' out of position, this three-point shot, he had no way to defend at all, Peja's ability was quite good, Jiang Yang's basketball drew an arc in the air, and fell straight into the basket.

Three-point shot, the game started to play until now, the Celtics' first three-pointer, Ray Allen next to him didn't shoot, but Jiang Yang threw it, seeing Jiang Yang's three-point shot, the players on the sidelines couldn't help but play a whistle, Jiang Yang's goal was indeed very beautiful, and Doug Rivers couldn't help but shine in his eyes.

Not only does this guy work very hard defensively, but he also has a good passing skill, and he can also see the big picture, but he can also attack? If he is really sure that this ball is not Meng Jin, then he is becoming more and more interested in this Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang couldn't help but smile when he watched the ball go in, and then slowly retreated to his own half.

Seeing that the goal was scored, Anthony Johnson's face was not very good-looking, and he was ready to get the ball back.

But on the defensive end, Jiang Yang gave him another surprise, as soon as he reached the three-point line, Jiang Yang had already posted it.

didn't take the initiative to grab the ball, just dancing in front of him, consuming his physical strength, if he played like this, Jiang Yang would definitely not be able to withstand forty-eight minutes, but now Jiang Yang didn't think about holding up for forty-eight minutes.

All Jiang Yang needs is to tell Doug Rivers that he is valuable in his limited playing time.

But what a shrewd old guy Anthony Johnson was, he just smiled lightly when he saw Jiang Yang's movements.

Then he passed the ball, and after a few passes, the ball was handed to Gortat on the inside, Gortat turned and missed a jumper, and was grabbed by Rashid Wallace to grab the rebound, and then handed it to Jiang Yang, who received the ball and directly hit the opponent's defense.

The Celtics play on other teams, and unless it's a steal, you basically don't see the Celtics' fast break.

And even if they played against the Magic team, the Celtics' fast break times were very small, so after they saw that the other party grabbed the rebound, they didn't care too much, and instantly let Jiang Yang, the guy, find an opportunity and go out directly.

Directly into the opponent's free throw line before being caught up by the players of the Magic team, and Jiang Yang did not go directly to the basket by himself, or attack, since he has been caught up, then he has no need to attack by himself, he just made a feint to shoot well, and after the two players in front of Huang flew up, he passed the ball directly to his back.

“nolookpass！” Looking at Jiang Yang's movements, Doug Rivers' eyes on the sidelines couldn't help but light up.

nolookpass, that is, passing the ball without looking at people, is easy to say, but it requires a strong sense of the overall situation and feel to do it, Jiang Yang's pass comes from Johnson, and Johnson's skills are born with the overall situation and feel, so that Jiang Yang is not difficult to do this action, the basketball flew directly out of the three-point line, and it just fell into the hands of Ray Allen.

In the whole game, for Ray Allen's point, Van Gundy is very strict, if Van Gundy Jr. is best at interior defense, then Van is best at outside defense, in the first quarter of the game, Ray Allen shot three times, only hit a mid-range shot, got two points, got the basketball at this time, and it was a big vacancy.

How could Ray Allen, who is known as a marksman, let go, after the basketball turned around in his hand, he threw it directly to the basket and brushed it...... Again, the Celtics scored six points in a row, and the opponent was stunned, and the original 21-point gap was instantly narrowed to 15 points, and Doug Rivers looked at Jiang Yang with eyes that couldn't help but change.

"A microwave stove, don't worry about the bench this time!" Staring at Jiang Yang, Doug Rivers put on a smile.
