Chapter 178: Defeat

At this time, the big screen in the arena is playing the wonderful replay of Crawford's stride from outside the three-point line to break through the layup, Crawford's offense is definitely very sharp, although his physical fitness is not good, and his defensive ability is not good, but with his offensive ability, it is not something that ordinary people can withstand!

At this time, the statistics of today's game were also given at the North Shore Garden Arena, in terms of assists, Jiang Yang alone accounted for as many as 12, and the Celtics led the opponent 21-18, but the score was in a backward position.

At the end of the timeout, in fact, Hirobodu really didn't have any talent to command the offense, and he only arranged the order of offensive shots during the pause, with Ray Allen in first place, Pierce in second place, and Jiang Yang in third place.

These are also the three offensive lines that the Celtics can take on the outside at the moment! Jiang Yang's rapid growth has also made Rondo more and more threatening! At the end of the timeout, Jiang Yang and others returned to the court, Glenn Davis served on the outside and handed the ball directly to Ray Allen, who faced Joe Johnson, and the other party also knew that Crawford's defense was not good.

So at this time, the defense switched him down, replaced Marvin Williams, played small forward, and defended Pierce.

Although he can't carry Pierce, his height is there, as long as he raises his hands high, he can also put a certain limit on Pierce, and the opposite of Ray Allen has become his old rival, Joe Johnson.

Joe Johnson has scored 36 points today, the highest score in the game, although he has scored a lot, but his defense may not have any effect, Ray Allen faced Joe Johnson after pressing the time, and broke through directly!

Watching Ray Allen rush into the interior, Joe Johnson has been squeezing Ray Allen with his body so that he can't easily break through himself, but after Ray Allen rushed into the three-point line, he suddenly made an emergency stop, just this one emergency stop, he had already thrown off Joe Johnson's defense and made a gap for himself, and then Ray Allen directly made a stop-and-go jump shot.

The basketball shot was very positive, but maybe because he really didn't have any touch today, the three-point shot collapsed directly.

Marvin Williams on the inside took a step ahead of Pierce, stuck him behind him, and watched the basketball slowly fly towards him, but just as he wanted to catch the ball, a small hand took the basketball into his arms one step ahead of him.

"Jiang Yang!" Looking at the huge No. 66 jersey, everyone was stunned, because just now Jiang Yang was standing on the outside, and now he has rushed into the inside line and rushed to grab the rebound! Jiang Yang didn't be polite to the players of the Eagles, and jumped directly!

Under the surprised eyes of the Hawks players, Jiang Yang directly dunked and hit, this is Jiang Yang's second dunk in this game, and this dunk also directly allowed the Celtics to overtake the score, 101-99, the Celtics still have a chance!

The Eagles had to ask for a timeout, and at this time, it was constantly replaying on the big screen, Jiang Yang's violent dunk just now was really powerful, and the Celtics had always been on the floor before.

Pierce is the replacement of the floor flow in the league, and although Ray Allen was previously a dunk, he is now a pure shooter.

Garnett is also old now, and it is difficult to use such shocking dunks as before, and in the entire team, there is only one Tony Allen who often has violent dunks, and Tony Allen has first-class defense and ...... offense Hehe...... Now that there is Jiang Yang, it is really surprising to the Celtics, Jiang Yang's violent dunk has made their offense more diverse!

The big screen on the court also began to constantly replay some pictures of Jiang Yang's game, the violent dunk just now, and the opening dunk, the remaining three points, dry three points, emergency stop jump shots, if you just look at the highlights, Jiang Yang is even better than Kobe.

However, after watching the whole game, you will know that although Jiang Yang is also very good now, there is still a gap between him and the superstar!

At the end of the timeout on the Hawks' side, Crawford was substituted again for Marvin Williams, who was not very offensive at all.

After the basketball was released, the first point was to find Joe Johnson, but Joe Johnson made Pierce very dead.

There is no way but to find Crawford again, after Crawford gets the ball, in the face of Ray Allen, this time there is no more action at all, break through directly, this guy's speed is very fast, Ray Allen can follow him to the point where he can follow the defense.

But there was no way to interfere with him, and after the speed increased, Crawford suddenly made a big emergency stop and directly threw Ray Allen away! This is really young, with knees like steel, and these people really don't care about their bodies.

After shaking Ray Allen away, Crawford jumped high and threw the basketball with ease.

Crawford has a big heart, at least Jiang Yang thinks so, and Crawford directly throws the basketball out.

The basketball fell straight into the basket with the placement, and the Hawks continued to overtake the score, 102-101!

At this time, there are only 38 seconds left before the end of the game, and there is no timeout on the Celtics' side, they are ready to attack, Jiang Yang received the ball and handed the ball directly to the team's boss, Pierce, Pierce shot directly when there were 31 seconds left in the game, but unfortunately the shot did not score, in turn, the opponent pressed the time to 24 seconds before shooting, Josh Smith also shot not, and finally left 7 seconds to the Celtics, and finally the Celtics' opportunity was left to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang made a three-point shot on the outside...... The three-point shot that was invincible in the past has no effect in Jiang Yang's hands today, Pierce was seen to death, Ray Allen was seen to death, and only Jiang Yang himself was left, Jiang Yang was faced with Mike Bibby, he pulled out three points outside the three-point line, and the basketball bounced directly on the basket...... Then the bell rang for the end of the game.

"Who's special!" Looking at the ball that bounced back, Jiang Yang smashed the basketball to the ground a little helplessly! 102-101…… It's a resentment to lose!

And Pierce and the others also covered their heads helplessly, this time they lost really resentfully.

"We'll get revenge next time!" Looking at Crawford walking beside him, Jiang Yang shrugged his shoulders, the current Celtics are indeed not the strongest Celtics, and those old guys still need a certain amount of time to recover their strength.

"I hope so!" Listening to Jiang Yang's words, Crawford only smiled, he also fought with Jiang Yang three days ago, he knew very well what Jiang Yang's level was three days ago, and now Jiang Yang's level has caught up with him.

Of course, this refers to offensive ability, compared to defense, passing and other things, Jiang Yang has always been better than him.

In this way, the Celtics' five-game winning streak was ended by the Hawks on their home court! The game's MVP was Joe Johnson, who scored 36 points on 14-of-25 shooting, but other than him, the rest of the players were miserable.

Mike Bibby only made 2 of 8 shots today, and was killed by Jiang Yangfang, and only scored 5 points in the whole game.

Al Horford only has 9 points, Marvin Williams and Josh Smith have 14 points, Jamal Crawford has 17 points and 6 assists, the Celtics have five double-doubles, the most scored is Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang has 26 points and 12 assists, a very arrogant 20+10, Pierce has 19 points and 8 rebounds, and the shooting rate is more than 50%, but the most critical goal did not score...... Ray Allen had 16 points and five rebounds on 5-of-10 shooting, but the same crucial shot didn't go in.

Perkins had 11 points and 9 assists, Glenn Davis had 13 points and 4 rebounds, and the Celtics still lost, and they lost quite badly! Looking at such a score, Jiang Yang and the others could only be helpless.

In the end, Ray Allen didn't score one, Pierce didn't score one, and Jiang Yang didn't score one...... Those three shots officially ended the Celtics' victory, but they didn't have time to remember the defeat.

Next they need to go to New Jersey and play the Nets, who are currently at the bottom of the league!

In the face of the Celtics, everyone knows that the strength of the two sides is too different, even if they don't have Garnett, no Rashid Wallace, no Rondo, and it's not a Nets that can deal with, but this game has still attracted the attention of the majority of fans.

Because today is the first time that Jiang Yang and Yi Jianlian have faced off in the alliance! The two of them talked together for a while before the game.

Yi Jianlian was still very pleased with Jiang Yang, a rising star, and at the same time, on behalf of the Basketball Association, he asked about whether Jiang Yang would participate in this year's World Championships, Jiang Yang just smiled, and said that he would not agree or refuse when the time came.

After the warm-up and the main players on the field, the game on both sides officially began! The Nets' starters today are as follows.

Starting center Brook Lopez, this player has been very popular recently, although the Nets are a super bad team, but he often plays 20+10 data, it is not an easy thing, starting power forward Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian's position in the league is now more and more difficult to position, fortunately, Nets coach Vanderwich is very interested in Yi Jianlian, otherwise it is estimated that he will not even be able to grab this starting position. Starting small forward Chris Douglas Roberts and scoring guard Courtney Lee are a good offensive player, but in the Nets, he doesn't have the ball even if he is good offensively.

The point guard is the league's new entry to the Iron King, Devin Harris, who has just returned, and starts the game on both sides of this lineup.

The last game was lost to the Hawks in the last minute, which made all the Celtics players hold their breath!

So in the opening, the Celtics played tough, under the leadership of Pierce, they started with a 7-2 start, and finally the Nets narrowed the score to 7-9, Perkins, Ray Allen, Scala Blanei, Jiang Yang hit continuously, after a wave of 14-4 attacks, the score was rewritten to 23-11, because of Jiang Yang, a good passer, so the red-headed man Scala Blanei played quite smoothly, and Yi Jianlian here was not so lucky, With 4:19 left in the quarter, he was replaced by Hassel, and from the opening to the time he was replaced, he only made one shot!

And then the Celtics benches on the court have also been suppressing the Nets' benches, in Ray Allen as the same axis, soon the visitors rewrote the score to 38-17, the Nets were beaten by the Celtics, until there was 1 minute 04 seconds left in the quarter, Hassel broke the scoring drought, and then Roberts and others also hit one after another, at the end of the first quarter of the game, the Celtics led the opponent 38-22 as many as 16 points, the first quarter of the game, The Celtics shot 66.7 from the field and 57.1 percent from three-point range. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics' bench did not give the Nets a chance.

Glenn Davis, who entered the league with Yi Jianlian in the same year, also humiliated Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian, who was higher than himself under the basket, was stronger, and while scoring the ball, he also deceived the foul! This is also Yi Jianlian's biggest problem.

The physical confrontation surname is almost 0, and any interior player can bully him, judging from Jiang Yang's observation.

Yi Jianlian's physical fitness is similar to his previous self, at most he is at the level of A-, and he can bully him now.

The Nets, who were bitten by the Celtics first, still couldn't find their form in this quarter, and after a wave of 19-5 offensive, the Celtics led the opponent by as much as 30 points at 57-27.

And Jiang Yang here is a pass, an assist, and everyone watching the game can see the biggest difference between the two from their performances! With 2 minutes and 40 seconds left in the quarter, Vanderwich replaced Yi Jianlian with Humphries, but the Celtics still firmly controlled the situation on the court, and at the end of the first half, the Celtics led the Nets by as many as 36 points at 71-35! At the end of the half, Yi Jian made 1 of 5 shots and scored two points! Jiang Yang, who was opposite him, shot 6 of 8 in the half, 4 of 6 three-pointers, scored 16 points and 11 assists, and was already a double-double at halftime.

Of course, Jiang Yang's high assists are mainly due to the high shooting rate of other people in the team, the Celtics' shooting rate was as high as 68.4% at the end of the half, while the Nets' shooting rate was only 30.6%, which is the gap between the two teams.

Rematch, it may be that the Celtics were really careless, and the Nets seized the opportunity to start a counterattack, Yi Jianlian, Harris and Brook Lopez played a wave of 16-6 offense ** out to chase the score back by ten points!

And at this time, Jiang Yang was not happy, in front of Harris a dry three-point shot, and then Ray Allen misplaced a single, or Harris, and another mid-range shot, after scoring five points in a row, the Nets were still chasing the score.

And Pierce also scored five points in a row by himself, stabilizing the morale of the army, at this time, Yi Jianlian, who had regained his form, shot three points from the outside, and then scored two consecutive offenses, and the end also caused Glen Davis's defensive foul, two free throws and one hit, and the third quarter was over, the Nets chased the score to 64-94, 30 points short of the Celtics, and Yi Jianlian contributed 12 points in a single quarter, which is not easy!

In the last quarter of the game, this is simply playing, the difference is thirty points, what else is there to chase? Jiang Yang was playing in the first half of the game, Jiang Yang also showed off his dunk show rarely, turned around and dunked, replaced the dunk under the crotch, and dunked 180 degrees, although the air was still only at the level of A-, but Jiang Yang showed off all the dunks he could show.

Then everyone went off the court, and after the benches came on, the loose defense also gave the Nets a chance to close the score.

Lopez, Harris and others were unceremonious, after the Celtics' main force went down, they chased eleven points in a row, but it was useless to play beautifully, and in the end the Celtics won the game with a score difference of 118-87 and 31 points, and the Nets suffered another consecutive defeat, which was their sixth consecutive defeat! In this game, the Celtics scored 7 double-doubles, Pierce scored a high 24 points, Jiang Yang scored 23 points plus 14 assists, and Jiang Yang almost didn't pass the ball in the second half, basically all star singles.

Ray Allen scored 15 points, Perkins scored 12 points, Scalablanei also scored 10 points, and performed well, Tony Allen scored 10 points, Glen Davis scored 10 points, and the Celtics all performed remarkably.

The huge difference in strength made it easy for them to win, on the other hand, on the Nets, only three of them scored double-doubles!

The highest scorer was Yi Jianlian, because he scored 12 points in the third quarter, with a total of 19 points in the game, Brook Lopez scored 18 points and 10 rebounds and played a double-double, Devin Harris, who made Jiang Yang's defense 2 of 11 shots in the first three quarters, but fortunately, at the end of the game, he turned his score into 15 points, and the shooting rate was pulled to 5 of 16 shots, which is not too ugly.

Harris barely shoots from the outside, and he basically relies on his speed to push inside.

Except for the two balls that he broke through at the beginning, Jiang Yang defended the rest of the balls very well, as soon as he broke through, Jiang Yang would get him with a black hand, and in the end, Harris didn't break through on Jiang Yang's side, and on the defensive end, his height couldn't bring any pressure to Jiang Yang, if you only look at the guard line today, then you will see Jiang Yang's footage of Harris!

Playing the Nets, for the Celtics, is actually to have fun, after playing the Nets, they need to play continuously, and immediately return to the home court to play against the Bulls, fortunately, the distance between the two places is relatively close, take a car, and come back last afternoon, not too tired!

Coupled with playing the Nets, these veterans have enough time to rest, and in the next game against the Bulls, physical strength should not be a problem.

In the next half a month's game, the Celtics are not very easy to play, 14 at home to play the Bulls, 18 at home to play Mavericks, 20 to play away to play Pistons, 22 home to play Trail Blazers, 25th home to play Clippers, 28th away to play Magic, then back-to-back 29 to play Hawks, and finally 31 home to play Lakers, so close to the schedule, not very dense, but there are a lot of strong teams!
