Chapter 241: Unable to fight back
"Despicable Jiang Yang, Stole a Knightly Victory from Cleveland" reported by local Cleveland media.
"Soldier, Sophistry, the Art of War from China, Wins First Victory in the NBA" was a headline from a sentence from Doug Rivers in a post-game interview, but it didn't sound good.
"Boston Away Wins Triumph, Cavaliers Lose 0-1 to Boston, Green Shirts Win Completely" must have been reported by the local newspaper in Boston, this is the Boston Globe report, of course they have to cheer for their team.
"The Green Shirts won the first game, gained home court advantage, Jiang Yang cheated and injured, and the Cavaliers lost the defeat" This is a report from the Los Angeles Times.
Almost the next morning, all major newspapers reported on the game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers finally entered the Eastern Conference Finals, but they didn't expect to be overshadowed by Jiang Yang, and everyone said before the game that Jiang Yang would not play.
When the game started, Jiang Yang still didn't play, which also reassured the Cavaliers.
Mike Brown wiped his glasses vigorously after the game, while saying that it was his responsibility to lose, he was also saying that Jiang Yang was indeed too yin, and the yin made him powerless, Jiang Yang and Doug Rivers successfully performed a drama, pushing Jiang Yang's selling point to **, Jiang Yang played for 5 minutes and 02 seconds, scoring 10 points, it was because of his ten points that it became the last straw that crushed the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers finally failed to beat Jiang Yang and the Celtics at home.
"We lost the game, but we weren't convinced...... has the ability to win us openly, such a game really makes me unwilling! In the post-game report, James scratched his hair and said helplessly, he has tried his best in today's game, from falling behind by more than a dozen points, to tying in the end, or even overtaking, seeing that victory is in sight, but in the end, he killed a Cheng Biting Jin halfway, and directly killed himself.
"Losing is losing, winning is winning, history will never record what means the winner used, they will only remember, who is the winner, admit to be the loser!" And what Jiang Yang said at the post-game press conference was like it was specifically aimed at James.
This also made James's face ugly, Jiang Yang was right, if you lose, you lose, don't find a reason.
You can endure that you are also pretending to be sick! Of course, Jiang Yang is the only one who can be so shameless and obscene, Jiang Yang doesn't care, it doesn't mean that Doug Rivers doesn't care, James got a game-high 35 points plus 7 rebounds and 7 assists in the first game, Xiao Mo got 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, O'Neal 11 points, and Jamison is completely missing.
Garnett's defense scored only seven points in the game, and J.J. Hickson scored 11 points off the bench, which was not bad.
For the Celtics, except for Perkins, the rest of the starters scored double-doubles, Garnett had 18 points and 10 rebounds, Perkins had 9 points and 11 rebounds, and Rondo scored a game-high 26 points plus 12 assists, which was very sharp.
Pierce 13 points, Ray Allen 14 points, the shooting percentage of the two is not high, Pierce shot 5 of 17, Ray Allen shot 6 of 14, and only Jiang Yang got ten points on the bench! Before the start of the game, in fact, the Cavaliers' data was completely superior, and the odds given on major websites were also one level worse than the Cavaliers.
Starting from the No. 5 position, O'Neal is 215 cm tall, Perkins is 208 cm tall, and averages 12 points per game, Perkins only has 10.14 points, 6.7 rebounds per game, Perkins 7.63, 1.5 assists per game, Perkins 1.03, both steals per game are the same, blocks per game, O'Neal 1.2, Perkins 1.69! O'Neill has the advantage in the fifth position.
Jamison in the fourth position, although he is only 205 cm tall, Garnett's height is 211 cm, with an average score of 15.8 points per game, Garnett 14.35 points, 7.7 rebounds per game, 7.33 Garnett, 1.3 assists per game, 2.68 Garnett, 1.1 steals per game, 0.99 Garnett, 0.5 blocks Jamison and 0.83 Garnett per game! In the No. 4 position, judging from the data, the two of them were half a pound and eight taels, but Jamison completely withered during the game.
In terms of small forwards, James is 203 cm tall, Pierce is 200 cm, scoring James 29.7 points per game, Pierce 18.25 points, rebounding James 7.3 per game, Pierce 4.37, assisting James 8.6 per game, Pierce 3.07, stealing James 1.6, Pierce 1.18, blocking James 1 per game, Pierce 0.44!
At the No. 3 position, the Cavaliers are completely dominant, even if Pierce is one of the few people in the league who can defend against James, it is still a little worse.
In terms of scoring guards, Anthony Parker is 198 cm, Ray Allen is 195 cm, Parker is averaging 7.4 points per game, Ray Allen is 16.3 points, averaging 2.9 rebounds per game, Ray is 3.16, averaging 1.9 assists per game, Ray is 2.62, both are averaging 0.8 steals per game, blocking Parker 0.2 per game, Ray is 0.31, and the Celtics have the advantage in the second position.
In the No. 1 position, Xiao Mo and Rondo are both 185 tall, with an average of 15.8 points per game, 13.7 points per game, 3 rebounds, 4.44 rebounds, 5.3 assists per game, 9.8 Rondo, 1 steal per game, 2.33 Rondo, 0.3 blocks per game, 0.14 Rondo, overall, Rondo is still dominant...... Three positions, before the start of the game, everyone predicted, that is, the fourth position was tied, and then the third and fifth positions of the Cavaliers were dominant, and the first and second positions of the Celtics were superior, after all, there was still a Jiang Yang sitting on the bench, but after the first game.
Everyone's thinking has changed a little, O'Neal in the fifth position, when he plays the Bulls and Hawks, he is a complete interior giant, but when facing Perkins, who is seven centimeters shorter than him, his strength cannot be used.
His footsteps are not as sharp as Howard's, and in this case, O'Neal is really a little frightened...... At the beginning of the second game, Doug Rivers changed the image of the first game and began to fight with the Cavaliers, and the first quarter of the game on both sides began, except for Jamison's layup in the opening game, the Cavaliers failed to attack eight times in a row.
The Green Shirts' side also had a rough start, with Garnett being capped by Parker after three missed shots.
It was Pierce who stood up, first scored three points, and then caused Jamison's foul and two free throws, plus others scored, the Celtics opened with a 7-2 lead, James was defenseless today, and the Green Shirts carried out shark slashing tactics, which also made O'Neal frequently hit iron, on the contrary, the away team's offense blossomed more, and the Big Three changed the image of the first game, and the Green Shirts led 16-11 with 4 minutes and 45 seconds left in the first quarter, and Jiang Yang also came to the court.
Although the Cavaliers still used their main force on the court, trying to redeem their defeat, they were still under Jiang Yang's series and attack.
Their offense has never been able to play, Jiang Yang specifically stared at James when defending, James was bullied by Pierce after being bullied, and then was bullied by Jiang Yang, compared to Pierce, Jiang Yang's strength is stronger, the range of defense is wider, and at the same time the attack is darker, James who has no feeling makes Jiang Yang almost completely frozen, fortunately, there are veterans such as Parker who stood up to help the Cavaliers score, in the last four minutes, although the Cavaliers scored 11 points, but the Celtics also scored 10 points under Jiang Yang's strategy, At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led the Cavaliers by four points at 26-22 heading into the second quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Jiang Yang and Rashid Wallace cooperated one after another, first rushed into the inner line, and then crossed inside with Rashid Wallace to hit a layup, and then broke through and attracted the ball to the outside of Rashid Wallace, who scored five points in a row, attracting the opponent's interior defense, Jiang Yang scored two consecutive attacks, and the two joined forces to play a wave of 9-0 offense**, turning the score into 35-22 in one fell swoop, leading the Cavaliers by as many as 13 points, with Jiang Yang, The Celtics' bench may not be bad even if it is playing with the opponent's main force, an excellent point guard can help his team's combat effectiveness improve by at least one level, Jiang Yang is like this, watching the score be pulled away so much, there is no way, the Cavaliers can only change the team's main force to the court again, with James' marking, Jiang Yang's role is much smaller.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, the Cavaliers are also slowly narrowing the score, but on the other side, the Celtics Rasheed Wallace and Pierce who came on the court later also hit three-point shots on the outside to help the Celtics stabilize the situation of the game, and then Jiang Yang After they got off the court, Rondo and Ray Allen also worked together to score five points, and then Ray Allen hit three points, at the end of the half, the Celtics led the opponent by 56-48 as many as 8 points into the second half of the game, Jiang Yang had 8 points and 8 assists in the half, Today, Jiang Yang's offense is not too strong, mainly he still likes to pass the ball, and this ball is quite sharp.
After a wave of 12-5 offensive, the score was instantly rewritten to 68-53, leading by as many as 15 points, stopping the Cavaliers, and after the timeout, Jamison scored the first goal for the Cavaliers again, but then the Big Three led the team to add a wave of 10-2 offense**, at this time the Celtics had rewritten the score to 78-57 leading the Cavaliers by as many as 21 points, and Jiang Yang came on the court at 3 minutes and 51 seconds, which directly caused Varachio's first-level malicious foul.
Jiang Yang played this ball very beautifully, directly blocked James's shot, and then went on a fast attack, as James's number one lackey, Vallejo was the first to stand up for his master, fouled Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang made two free throws, and at 3 minutes and 37 seconds, Rondo assisted Jiang Yang to hit a three-point shot from the outside, which increased Rondo's personal assist data to 19 times in this game.
It also tied the record for the most assists in the playoffs, Perkins hit a jumper, and the Celtics extended their lead to 25 points, although the Cavaliers had all the performance in the final quarter, and at the end of the third quarter, the Celtics still led by 27 points at 87-60! The fourth quarter became a garbage festival in its entirety...... But it's the Eastern Conference Finals after all.
At the beginning of the last quarter, Doug Rivers still sent Jiang Yang to the court, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers, who were behind by a large score, did not choose to give up, and even made free throws to catch up with ten points, James hit a jumper, but after Jiang Yang also made a layup, he passed to Nate Robinson, who hit a three-point shot, and the Cavaliers brought the score to 70-95, a difference of 25 points...... Xiao Mo's layup with the ball was directly photographed by Jiang Yang, but the referee thought that the ball was an interference ball, and the score was okay.
On the other side, JJ Hickson also scored a three-pointer on the head of Garnett, who was on the court, and then the Cavaliers scored another 8 points, and 4 minutes and 33 seconds before the end, the Cavaliers chased the score to 81-97, with 16 points left! At the critical moment, Pierce stepped up and hit a layup to help the Celtics break the scoring drought, and then James forced the ball to score and caused a foul on Rasheed Wallace, but unfortunately the free throw was not scored, and Jiang Yang on the other side also found the court for Pierce and Wallace.
Jiang Yang and Pierce were on the court, he James didn't know who to defend, Jiang Yang hit a three-pointer in Parker's face, and the score continued to pull away, and then Jiang Yang went off the court, but Rondo and Ray Allen and Garnett teamed up to play an 11-1 offense**, and the Green Shirts completely locked up the win, and finally the Green Shirts defeated the Cavaliers with a 108-86, 22-point advantage!
Broke through the Cavaliers' two home courts and stood in front of the Cavaliers with a tough 2-0 attitude.
If the Celts still had tricks in the first battle, then the second battle was completely one-sided torture.
Since the start of the game, the Cavaliers have not overtaken the score, the Celtics pressed the Cavaliers and played, and the Cavaliers were not convinced! The Celtics had seven players in double figures, with Ray Allen scoring 22 points, Garnett 14 points and 10 rebounds, Pierce 12 points, and Rondo 10 points and 19 assists, tying the NBA playoff all-time assist record.
Perkins had 10 points and 9 assists, and Rashid Wallace's scoring was basically fed by Jiang Yang, who scored 12 points, Jiang Yang scored the second-highest 17 points on the team plus 11 assists, and Jiang Yang and Rondo alone brushed up to 30 assists.
The opponent only scored three points and double-doubles, James scored 24 points, and Jamison, who was defended by Garnett in the last game and only scored 7 points, scored 16 points on 6 of 11 shots today, and became the second main point of attack on the court, O'Neal only scored 9 points on 4 of 10 shots, Xiao Mo and Anthony Parker were completely dumb today, especially Xiao Mo, who was abused by Rondo and Jiang Yang, 1 of 9 shots in the game, only 4 points were scored, and the assist was far from Jiang Yang and Rondo.
The Cavaliers' third player to score in double figures was their super-newcomer, J.J. Hickson, but that doesn't mean much either.
"Some people say that we were a little sinister in the last game, so let's use this game to tell them that we Celtics are not afraid of real guns!" That's what Doug Rivers said after the game, but it's mostly for the people of Cleveland.
Cleveland's two home games were both broken by the Celtics, and the momentum of the Celtics' sweep of the Magic has been reflected.
The play of the Big Three, coupled with Rondo's assists, and Jiang Yang's high-quality performance on the bench, made the Celtics now have a very high call to win the championship, although the Lakers on the other side also won 2-0 against the Suns, all of which were two home courts.
The routine of the Lakers home dragon and away bug is estimated to be Phoenix, and this number should change.
And everyone knows that the Celtics' North Shore Garden is notoriously the devil's home court, and in this case, the Celtics are very good at their home court, directly swept the Cavaliers 4-0, and directly killed the Cavaliers to advance to this year's finals.
Now, even the most optimistic fans won't believe the Cavaliers have a chance to win the game.
After all, these are their two home courts, and they all lost, what does this mean? In the next five games, Celtic accounted for three, as long as they won two games casually, then they won, and one more game is match point.
The trickery of the first game, the big win in the second game, now makes the morale of Celtics fans high, Jiang Yang's performance in these two games, in the eyes of the Cavaliers, it is shameless, but in the eyes of Celtics fans, it is a performance of wisdom.
Even the imperial court praised Jiang Yang's strategy, this is the Eastern Conference Finals, and it is not that there are no Chinese players standing at such a high height before, whether it is the bus or Sun Yue, everyone has a championship ring in their hands.
But basically by this time, Daba and Sun Yue were already the mascots of the opposing team, but Jiang Yang was not.
Jiang Yang has a specific playing time in every game, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Yang is the first person in the domestic basketball world...... With this in mind, the Celtics players and the Cavaliers players flew to Boston.
Probably to give these veterans a little more rest, so there was a full three days of rest between the second and third battles.
It would also give the Celtics veterans a little more rest, while also allowing the Cavaliers players to prepare.
The third game, in fact, now the Celtics have forced them to a dead end, if the third game is not won, then the Celtics will get the match point, I believe that with the experience of the veterans of the Celtics, there is no difference between winning the match point and winning the game.
