Chapter 136: Jiang Yang's Power
Trailing by 14 points in the first half, if the opponent is the Warriors or the Suns, it is really possible to come back.
Because the opponent can hardly defend, but is that the case with the Celtics? If there is a famous defensive team in the league, then the current Green Shirts are definitely one of the ace teams, with Garnett and Perkins leading the interior defensive lineup.
Garnett's main defense breaks through the outside defense, and Perkins mainly carries the opponent's super center, such a routine, the average team really doesn't have it, Pierce on the outside, Ray Allen and Rondo, their defense is not bad, plus last year, the Celtics swept the Wizards last season, so now even the most optimistic fans are not expecting the Wizards to turn around and win at the last moment, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, everything is like what the players have in their hearts.
Although the Wizards played very tenacious, but they had no way to narrow the score, until their core, after the general Arenas found his touch, the Wizards team, and finally no one could stop it, originally in the first half, Arenas, who did not perform too well, rushed their score to as many as 19 points in this quarter, although the Celtics, Rondo scored 15 points, Ray Allen 16 points, but they were still bitten back by the Wizards who fought back in this quarter.
The original 14-point gap was instantly narrowed to more than ten points, and at the last moment, it was actually possible for the Celtics, but in order to make Tony Allen, who had just returned from injury, feel it, Doug Rivers did not change Jiang Yang to play.
And in the end, it was Tony Allen who was stealed by Blatch, burying the chance to reopen the score to 10 points.
At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics led by nine points at 83-74 and went into the final deciding set.
At the beginning of the final quarter, DeSean Stevenson, who came off the bench, hit a three-pointer.
The original nine-point gap was narrowed to six, but then the Celtics wasted a lot of chances, Pierce missed the shot, Eddie House made a bad pass, not without a chance, but with a chance, but the Green Shirts couldn't play.
But fortunately, their defense played a key role, they couldn't get in, they didn't let others in, this is the biggest power of the defensive team, until two and a half minutes into the fourth quarter of the game, it was not until two and a half minutes after the game was played in the fourth quarter that Caron Butler caused Rad-Wallace's foul, two free throws and two hits, and both sides finally opened up, but this ball is a good thing for the Wizards, but it is not a good thing for the Celtics, since the second half of the third quarter, Jiang Yang has been watching the team's old avenue Rivers Rivers.
Now Jiang Yang is really a little bit uncomfortable, because Tony Allen is back from injury, so Doug Rivers wants to give him one more playing time, but in total, there are only 48 minutes of playing time in one position, and the playing time of the main players cannot be moved, and the only thing that can be sacrificed is the playing time of the substitutes, even if Doug Rivers is very interested in Jiang Yang.
But what can be compressed is only Jiang Yang's playing time, and Jiang Yang played for so long in the first half.
In the second half, it was natural to compress Jiang Yang's playing time, but it turned out that Tony Allen had a great hand when he was crazy and had a strong defense, but at a critical moment, he had some weaknesses, especially when he met Butler.
Before the Bobcats' Gerard Wallace became famous, the name Desperate Saburo was always Caron Butler's.
And now even if Gerard Wallace is more famous than him, when it comes to working hard, Butler doesn't scare anyone.
Butler, who has an all-round advantage in body, strength, and ball skills, is not comparable to a Tony Allen, and he is easily beaten by the body, looking at the performance of Tony Allen on the court, Doug Rivers's brows are getting tighter and tighter off the court.
In comparison, Doug Rivers still likes his veteran player very much, but he doesn't give it a try, who can blame him?
may have been inspired by Butler's deception foul tactics, and Pierce, who was on the court, also cheated a foul this time.
Naturally, it was the opponent's main center, Brandon Haywood, who was deceived, but Pierce only made one of two free throws today.
It also gave the Wizards a chance, and the Wizards' Randy Foye hit a jumper from 15 feet out to tie the score to 84-81, just three points away, but Rondo burst out at a critical moment and first assisted Sheldon Williams for a dunk.
Then he hit a jumper to bring the score back to 7, but Boykins also assisted Bradge, who hit a mid-range shot to chase the score back to 5 points, and then he hit another three-pointer, and with 7:18 left in the game, the Wizards chased the score to 86-88, only two points away, at which point the Celtics had to call a timeout.
Originally, Jiang Yang watched Doug Rivers call a timeout, and thought he was going to play, but when the timeout ended, he didn't hear the voice he used to hear before, 'Jiang, play!' It was still Tony Allen who remained on the pitch.
Because of Doug Rivers, some Chinese at home have begun to boo Doug Rivers.
Obviously, Jiang Yang is much more reliable than the current Tony Allen, but Doug Rivers doesn't seem to see it at all.
In fact, Doug Rivers also hoped in his heart that he could let Jiang Yang play, but reason told him that this was not good.
The first is that Tony Allen will be dissatisfied with Jiang Yang or the team, and the second is that Tony Allen's injury is just right, and he should give him some opportunities, so unless he is forced to the end, Jiang Yang is estimated to be on the bench today.
After returning from the timeout, the two sides continued the tense atmosphere of the game just now, until Peso had 5 minutes and 59 seconds left, and Eddie House hit the first goal after the timeout, which was assisted by Rajon Rondo, and Rondo had 17 points today.
Today, when the Big Three have some dumb fires, Rondo has carried the offensive banner on the Celtic side.
However, Eddie House just hit the shot, and fifteen seconds later, the Wizards' Arenas returned one to the Celtics.
Gilbert Arenas, nicknamed the Great General, Agent, in addition to having a particularly large heart, he also has a unique skill. His pull-up jump shot is notoriously sharp in the league, and it's one of his main offensive tools.
After Arenas shook off Rondo, he rushed directly into the hinterland of the Celtics, before Rondo caught up, there was a big emergency stop, Jiang Yang, who was on the sidelines, even heard the sound of Arenas' soles rubbing against the field, Arenas's emergency stop was very beautiful, but Jiang Yang also knew that such an emergency stop hurt his knees, which is one of the reasons why Arenas is often injured.
99-88, the score on both sides continued to bite the bite, and with five minutes left in the game, Paul Pierce cheated a foul and got two free throws, but only scored one, and Pierce's hand was already terrible today.
So far, he has only scored 9 points, and Ray Allen in the second half, or in the last quarter, he has almost no effect, 16 points or 16 points, not a single move, the first few games, have won the MVP Garnett, today played 14 points now, it is estimated that this is the case, it is difficult to improve again, the Wizards' interior defense is not weaker than the Green Army.
Although at the beginning of the game, because Garnett still had the stamina and could beat the opponent, but after the middle and late stages of the game, their stamina declined, and that was the world of these young people of the Wizards!
At the critical moment, Arenas got a defensive rebound, and then advanced to the front court with five seconds to shoot directly from the jumper.
Rondo, who was following him, had no choice but to watch the basketball spin into the basket, 91-90, the original 14-point difference, at this time there was only 1 point left, and Doug Rivers finally couldn't bear it.
"Pause!" As Rondo dribbled past halftime, Doug Rivers called a timeout.
"Jiang, get ready to play!" Looking at Jiang Yang, who had already estimated that he would not be able to play today, Doug Rivers raised his eyebrows, and then immediately said loudly to Jiang Yang, hearing Doug Rivers' words, Jiang Yang's reaction was not unpleasant.
Basketball players, just like horses, horses are called horses when they are running, and horses placed in the stable are never good horses!
"Yes!" Jiang Yang jumped up and looked at Doug Rivers with excitement, after he got off the court in the first half of the second quarter, Jiang Yang never played again, until now, although Jiang Yang has determined in his heart that he is unlikely to play.
But at this time, hearing Doug Rivers' words, Jiang Yang was still very excited, and immediately took off his coat and stood up.
"Now the tactics are changed, play the No. 2 tactics, focus on positional warfare, you can't give the opponent a chance to attack quickly on the outside, Jiang Yang, the opponent's No. 0, I'll hand it over to you, I don't want you to prevent him from dying, but at least give me an uncomfortable shot!" Doug Rivers finally said to Jiang Yang emphatically, Tony Allen's outside defense ability is good.
But today was his first game since he recovered from injury, so Doug Rivers didn't say much.
The game restarted, and Jiang Yang replaced Pierce, who was not very good today, and came to the field.
The lineup on the court at this time is as follows, the Celtics side, center Perkins, power forward Garnett, small forward Jiang Yang, scoring guard Ray Allen, point guard Rondo, the game restarted, after Rondo dribbled past half court, he looked at Jiang Yang in the distance beckoning, thinking that Jiang Yang hadn't played for a long time, Rondo didn't say much, just handed the ball to Jiang Yang.
After Jiang Yang got the ball, he really had some warm-up, looking at DeSean Stevenson, who was defending himself in front of him, he smiled, and wanted to break through with a simple step down and change hands, but Stevenson was also the first person on the outside defense of the Wizards team anyway, how could he be so easily broken through by Jiang Yang, and a left center of gravity adjustment was blocked in front of Jiang Yang.
But at the moment when he gave up the right side, Jiang Yang passed, and the basketball grazed his right arm and slid into the inside.
"Damn!" Seeing Jiang Yang's center of gravity shifting to pass, Stevenson couldn't help but curse secretly, this is Jiang Yang's new ability after passing the ball to B+, and Jiang Yang's ability seems to be relatively good.
The basketball went into the interior with a whirlwind, and Garnett almost subconsciously took the basketball into his arms.
Years of experience in the game allowed Garnett to complete a turnaround jump shot directly after receiving the ball, the ball passed very suddenly, and the hit was also very sudden, originally Garnett was still there talking trash to Bradge, who knew that he would turn around and shoot in the next second, and Rachira's sight was also blocked by Garnett, he didn't even know that Garnett had received the ball.
"Good pass!" Seeing that Jiang Yang had just come on the court, a ball was passed out, which stabilized the situation on the court, and Doug Rivers off the court couldn't help but shake his head and secretly shouted, it seems that Jiang Yang is really very smart when he plays.
Creativity, the word is often used in football, and the only difference between a star and a superstar is this thing.
Creativity, physical skills, can be practiced, that is to say, to the NBA, as long as you are not driven away, basically, all castes can reach A-, this is just a matter of time, but some players, after reaching A-, is the limit, this life stays here, and some players are going higher and higher, A-level, A+-level, S-level, S-level and even S+ level, and they also earn more and more money and have more and more fans with the increase of their ability, became the leader of a team, and those who entered the NBA with him, and even those who were better than him before entering the NBA, are slowly fading out of everyone's sight, just like Howard and Okafor in '04.
That year, Howard's strength was very poor, he was completely abused by Okafor, offense is not like offense, defense is not like defense, the best rookie that year is also Okafor, not him Howard, but look at it 6 years later, Howard has become the league's No. 1 center, and Okafor has already run to the Hornets to give Paul a hand, whether it is in terms of annual salary or reputation, Okafor is just Howard's underdog, this is the difference between superstars and ordinary balls.
In Doug Rivers' eyes, Jiang Yang is the one who has the potential to become a superstar because he is creative!
Garnett hits a shot, and the Wizards naturally have to organize a counterattack, and the first choice for a counterattack is naturally Gilbert Arenas.
Arenas is a point guard himself, so he quickly received a pass from Bradge and advanced towards Kyle's handy half.
It's just over halftime, a figure has been in front of him, originally Arenas thought it was Rondo, so he wanted to do some feints, and then talk about it after shaking out some vacancy, but it was precisely because of his feints that it was a bad thing, because now the person who defended him was not Rondo, but a guy named Jiang Yang, if he didn't make a feint and accelerated directly into the inner line, it would be impossible to catch up with the other party at Jiang Yang's speed, but he had to stop as soon as he made a feint.
As soon as he stopped, Jiang Yang had the opportunity to 'get his hands up and down', Arenas was like a 'young lady' who deliberately seduced Jiang Yang, as soon as he stopped there, Jiang Yang pounced on a vicious tiger, rushed up, and began to provide personal service to Arenas.
When Jiang Yang put his little hand on Arenas' waist, Arenas was shocked, and he clearly felt something...... "Hey, hey, hey." General, the slave family is waiting for you! Listening to Jiang Yang's Chinese words in his ears, Arenas was more like hearing a spell, because as soon as this sentence ended, he felt a great pain in his waist!
Ordinary people must have been weak in their hands for a long time when they were pinched like this, but is the general such a person?
He is not an ordinary tough, he didn't pass the ball, but let Jiang Yang grab himself and jump directly on the outside.
Because in his opinion, even if this ball is not scored, Jiang Yang can be sentenced to a foul, and this is the home field.
But at the moment when he jumped, Jiang Yang let go of his hand, and at the same time pushed his knee against the opponent's leg, so that the opponent could not jump high, and then stretched his arm as much as possible to interfere with the opponent's shooting vision, his body hurt very much, and he lost his balance, and finally when his eyes were blocked, Arenas's shot was very unscored, and was directly confiscated by Perkins under the basket.
"Despicable!" After falling, Arenas looked at Jiang Yang, his eyes were about to burst into flames.
"It's my hobby!" Facing Arenas's eyes full of anger, Jiang Yang just shrugged it, and then said a word indifferently, listening to Jiang Yang's words, Arenas almost vomited blood, but fortunately, he has been hit recently, and there is a guy named Javalis Coritanton in the team, who usually looks for trouble for himself.
This guy's skills are very poor, and he likes to be lazy, and his temper is even worse, Arenas is a famous training freak in the team, and all training freaks have a characteristic, not only training themselves, but also pulling others to train.
Once Arenas saw that this guy named Coritanton was lazy, so he went to say a few words to him, who knew that this guy turned his face directly, and almost didn't do it with himself, thinking of this called Coritanton, Arenas had a lot of balance in his heart.
Although Jiang Yang is very dark, it is not black to that extent...... In fact, this is still what he doesn't know about Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang is a good man off the field, and he never clashes with his teammates, but on the field, he is the person that all players don't want to see the most, of course, the first person he doesn't want to see, Bowen, is estimated to be able to only see off the field in this life.
And Jiang Yang, his career has just begun, if he can't see Jiang Yang, it's difficult!
