Chapter 363: Bloodbathed Eagle

For the Kings, Jason Thompson on the inside had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and the big man's talent was still quite good. This year's No. 5 rookie DeMarcus Cousins scored 18 points, and Benno Udri performed quite well in Jiang Yang's presence and absence, scoring 15 points, which is a good result, but unfortunately, his shooting percentage is not high, Jiang Yang's three blocks and six steals, all three blocks were given to him, and four of the six steals were steals for him.

Francisco Garcia scored 13 points and Karl Landry scored a team-high 22!

After taking out the Kings, the next two games the Raptors need to prepare for are at home against the Hawks and Pistons!

The last time I beat the eagle, this made Jiang Yang and them depressed, and they were given food by the eagle, and this time it was time for Jiang Yang and them to take revenge!

Marvin Williams was out with an injury in this game, so the Hawks' starting lineup for this game was changed.

The center is still Al Horford, the power forward Josh Smith, the small forward is replaced by Morris Evans, the scoring guard is Joe Johnson, and the point guard is the White Devil Mike Bibby.

Mainly because of Joe Johnson's problems, last season, Joe Johnson's Hawks played like.

You don't have to get closer, you feel sick when you look at it, and for this reason, their head coach paid for this and was fired!

In this context, the core of the team, Joe Johnson, did not take a salary cut in everyone's expectations, but signed a contract with a maximum salary of hundreds of millions, which is also the most troublesome part of him, and it was only the media who quarreled there.

thought he was the second guy to cheat money after Lewis, a billionaire, but the local fans were still very supportive of him.

After all, compared with James, Bosh and other defectors, although Joe Johnson has a larger contract, he is still here after all, and as long as the people are still here, they don't mind spending more money to watch the game.

But by the time the season began, Joe Johnson's stats dropped across the board, and he started to be bombarded.

The local fans are not very convinced, although the Hawks have a good record now, but for the local fans, it has a lot to do with Joe Johnson, and even the fans have played the slogan of Josh Smith's new Hawks, but this is just to think about.

The current Eagles, the boss is still Joe Johnson, as long as he is still on the court, then he is the first scorer on the court.

In fact, the fans of the Eagles are also envious, if Jiang Yang is signed with a 100 million yuan contract...... The current eagle has long been a cow, but unfortunately, their idea, after all, is still too simple, the first eagle will not give Jiang Yang a contract of 100 million yuan at all, and second, even if it is given, Jiang Yang will not be able to sign a six-year deed of sale at one time, that time is too long.

He is confident that he will hit the price of a super all-star this year, and if he mixes it for another year next year, he will almost have a five-year contract of 150 million, and a mere 124 million for six years, Jiang Yang still can't look down on it! Of course, there is a certain element of bragging.

At seven o'clock in the evening on January 12, 2011, Eastern time, the game between the Raptors and the Hawks officially started at the Air Canada Arena in Toronto, as the referee threw the orange basketball into the air, the Raptors' Mark Gasol and the Hawks' Josh Smith jumped high together, in fact, Josh Smith is very short, only 206 centimeters.

But it's not for nothing that this guy overwhelms his team's All-Star center Al Horford on the jump ball, firstly, Al Horford is also very short, only 208 cm, and second, this guy jumps really too high...... Facing the 216 cm Mark Gasol, this guy with his bounce speed and amazing bounce, he actually slapped the basketball to his side one step ahead of Mark Gasol, Jiang Yang saw it clearly, two people jumped the ball, Josh Smith's hand not only exceeded Mark Gasol's palm, but also had an extra half a palm, an absolute advantage! This guy's bounce, Jiang Yang is a little depressed when he sees it.

"Is this still the bouncing of earthlings?" Jiang Yang felt that Howard didn't seem to have as high as this guy......

Josh Smith easily slapped the basketball to his side and handed it to Joe Johnson, Joe Johnson is still the boss of the team after all, so he has no problem playing alone after dribbling over half court, today the Raptors did not choose to defend in a position, although Jiang Yang has very good defensive ability, but Jay Tria is more interested in Jiang Yang's offensive ability.

Therefore, Jiang Yang is still in the No. 1 position, against Mike Bibby, while the opponent's main offensive point Joe Johnson has Jay Tria conceded to DeMar DeRozan, and this is also training DeRozan's defensive ability.

A few days ago, Jay Tria talked to DeRozan, although Jiang Yang didn't know what they talked about, but since then, DeRozan's defensive attitude has been a lot stricter, and it seems that Jay Tria really wants to emulate Carter and Maddie back then.

Maddie is also talented, but in the Raptors, he is just playing for Carter, and the current DeRozan is also very talented, but with Jiang Yang, there is no shortage of bosses in the Raptors, and he wants to sit firmly in the second position.

He needs not only offense, mid-range shooting, he also needs a certain defensive ability, and he can't let Jiang Yang make up for it at any time.

After that talk with Jay Tria, DeMar DeRozan's attitude is much better!

Just like now, although facing Joe Johnson, there are famous players in the league, but DeMar DeRozan has not retreated, and has been adjusting his center of gravity and position with small pieces, and he is desperately guarding against Joe Johnson.

And Joe Johnson didn't think much about it, and after shaking it directly, he chose a jump shot, and DeRozan's hand was still sealed in front of the opponent's eyes at the critical moment, although it was not standard, but it also played a role in interference, Joe Johnson threw the basketball directly, but unfortunately, the iron was hit! After the rebound was obtained by Banyani on the inside, it was passed directly to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang took the ball and rushed towards the opposing half, the Raptors didn't use a change of defense, but the Hawks didn't dare.

In fact, Marvin Williams is good, everyone has always called him a parallel import, mainly because his draft ranking is too high.

He is the star of the 05 year, beating Paul and Delon, but it turns out that he is a good blue-collar and a good middle class, which is far worse than Paul and Delon at the All-Star level, after all, he is also a bull who can average 10 points and five rebounds per game, especially in defense, he can be regarded as the only defender on the outside of the Hawks.

What the? Mike Bibby and Joe Johnson? Will the two of them defend? That's a joke, Mike Bibby grew up under Adelman's Princeton system, and he can defend that! And Joe Johnson didn't come to the Hawks before he was with the Suns...... Need more explanation? There is not much difference between coming from the Suns and coming from the Warriors.

So in the first battle, it was Marvin Williams who came to defend Jiang Yang, and now it has become Morris Evans.

The Evans of the Kings, Jiang Yang is still a sieve, let alone this Morris Evans.

Jiang Yang's straight break after a simple dribble behind the ball went straight past this Morris Evans.

Josh Smith on the inside line immediately came to make up for it, and Jiang Yang was not greedy at this time, although he was the core of the team, but he was also the team's point guard, he had the responsibility of stringing games, looking at Josh Smith in front of him, Jiang Yang turned around and passed him, and then leaned him behind him, casually smashed the ball back, just like that, after rebounding, it just entered the hands of Banyani who ran over, after Banjani took the ball, he looked at the basket in front of him and jumped high, Of course, this tall is just a pictograph, and it is tall for Banjani, but with that height of more than two meters and ten meters, this is enough! Banyani took the ball in his right hand and dunked the basketball straight into the hoop.

"Whew!" The audience stood up for the first time and applauded Banjani, who usually watched Banyani shoot more times, but not many times to see him dunk! But Banjani has just scored.

Over there, his defense is out of position, but fortunately, the opponent's power forward Josh Smith, although he is super athletic, is a bit brainless, 206 height, in fact, it is just right to play small forward, with his bounce and strength, it doesn't matter if he plays big forward.

But this Josh Smith has one biggest problem, he just likes to shoot threes! The former coach of the Hawks, Mike Woodson, still had a way to deal with him and forcibly stop him from shooting three-pointers, and the Hawks played really well last season.

However, with Mike Woodson's departure, Larry Drew is a little bit overwhelmed by the current Hawks coach!

Isn't it? Just now he was dunked by Banjani, and he wanted to use Banjani's best three-point shot to fight back......

It's a pity that this ball is thrown too powerfully, three don't stick! This made Mark Gasol, who had grabbed the position on the inside, a little helpless, and Mark Gasol, who had a clear advantage in height and strength, had no problem blocking Al Hofford.

But stuck on this side, but missed that side, the original Maurice Evans, this ball has nothing to do with him, he is just running back, pulling the defensive line, and Kirilenko next to him also knows that he is not a threat, so he let it go.

But this release was an accident, Morris Evans, who was running in front of him, suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing on his head, and when he reached out to block it, he found that it was a basketball? In this way, Morris Evans picked up a basketball under the basket, and then Kirilenko behind him reacted and immediately pounced, but he could only sigh that the whip was out of reach, Morris had completed a very ugly layup under the basket, but no matter how difficult the ball was, the ball was scored anyway! The Eagles turned the score into a 2-2 draw! Looking at this ball, Jiang Yang couldn't help but be happy.

"Luck is good, but in the face of real strength, luck is useless!" Jiang Yang looked at the Eagles in front of him and said coldly, the next attack of the fierce team is still Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang holds the ball and directly impacts the opponent's defense.

Morris Evans, who came over to make up the defense, was broken through by Jiang Yang at the first time, and then Josh Smith also pounced, but Jiang Yang passed the ball at this time, and directly handed the ball to the hands of Banyani, who appeared vacant at this time, Banjani shook a shot, deceived Joe Johnson next to him, and directly handed the basketball to DeRozan on the outside.

And DeRozan here is already vacant at this time, Mike Bibby over there came to make up for the defense for the first time, but DeRozan knocked the ball directly to the ground, and the ball bounced into Kirilenko's hands, after Kirilenko got the ball, he broke through directly, a light basket, and scored the basketball, this is the tactics of the Raptors now, from the beginning after Jiang Yang was trapped, he was in a hurry, and now, all people can pass the ball calmly, guide the vacancy, and the Raptors are making rapid progress at a speed visible to the naked eye. This improvement is directly reflected in their record, which is really good.

With 3 minutes and 41 seconds left in the game, the Raptors have already led the opponent by 10 points at 26-16, and it seems that the Hawks want to turn the tables around, but it is not so easy! The current players of the Raptors, to be exact, are indeed not comparable to the Hawks, and the Hawks may still have some advantage in the frontcourt, but Marc Gasol and Banyani can both shoot.

And in the backfield, the three of them are completely violent against each other! Even if there are two people on the other side, one is selected as an All-Star and the other is famous, for Jiang Yang, it is not a problem, Jiang Yang is not an all-star this year, even if he is the king of votes, there is no problem, and DeRozan, as long as he develops well, the next All-Star is him! Coupled with Kirilenko, who was once selected as an All-Star, the Raptors' backcourt can be called luxurious! However, the substitute was a little soft, and he was replaced by his own Raptors in advance, and this time he was replaced, and something happened to him! Immediately followed by a wave of counterattacks by the Hawks! Played an 11-3 offensive wave.

But at this time, the Raptors couldn't change the main force to the court, but fortunately, Barbossa hit a shot at the last moment, helping the Raptors lead the opponent by two points 29-27 into the second quarter of the game! Both teams were very efficient in the second quarter, and the Raptors always maintained a slight lead, with 7 minutes and 18 seconds left in the second quarter, the Hawks turned the score into 39-41 with a three-pointer from last year's Super Sixth Man, Jamal Crawford, who came off the bench.

At this time, the core of the Raptors, Jiang Yang returned to the court, and Jiang Yang just came on the court and completed a layup after a breakthrough.

The pulling action is extremely beautiful, the Eagles can't look at it, compared with the last time, the current Jiang Yang is even more powerful.

On the other hand, Damien Wilkins drew a foul on substitute Sam Young and made two free throws.

But then, Jiang Yang cooperated with Banyani on the inside, who received Jiang Yang's pass 11 feet away from the basket, and hit a jump shot to lead the score again, and then the two sides entered a tug-of-war, but in this quarter of the game, both sides were 34-33, and the Raptors won by one point in a single quarter, leading the Hawks 63-60 into the second half.

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the Raptors, under the instructions of Jiang Yang and Jay Tria, suddenly changed their lineup!

The original offensive lineup instantly became a type-type lineup, after Banjani on the inside was replaced by Amir Johnson.

The Raptors' defense is instantly solid, in fact, they are also deliberately practicing tactics with the Hawks, and the Hawks have no way to know it, because the Raptors' defensive tactics are also very buggy, Jay Tria does not have any tactics that he is good at, so he can only learn from those who have become famous, or the head coach of a thousand wins, such a half-court, regional defense, is Larry Brown's forte, although he did not learn, but it also raised the defensive intensity of the Raptors to a higher level, In this quarter of the game, although the Raptors only scored 22 points themselves, the Hawks only scored a pitiful 15 points! At the end of the third quarter, the Raptors led 85-75 and entered the final quarter of the dispute.

In the final quarter, after Banjani came on the court, the Raptors changed their lineup again...... This made the opponent's lineup against the Raptors' defense that he had finally thought of shattered in an instant, and the Raptors became an offensive team again, and you don't know which foot he played!

The tactics of being fast, slow, long, short, tight, and loose make the Eagles really want to die.

Although the Eagles scored 29 points in this quarter, they also lost 34 points! Another five-point loss to the Raptors in the first quarter.

In the end, the Raptors defeated the Hawks 119-104 at home, and the Hawks were helpless after the game and didn't play like this.

The Hawks coach, Larry Drew, feels like he's been led by the Raptors throughout the game, and the Raptors' lineup change is indeed very ...... It's incomprehensible, sometimes it's scary to suddenly have a strong defensive intensity, but sometimes all of a sudden, give up the defense completely and attack with all your might! This made the Eagles want to change the formation to deal with it, but there is no way, and it is a headache.

Jiang Yang got a game-high triple-double of 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists! ~！
