Chapter 144: Energetic

Before this season, the Celtics and the 76 had a total of two games, the first was on November 3, the Celtics defeated the 76ers 105-74 away by as many as 31 points, and the second game, Jiang Yang also participated, and defeated the 76ers 113-110 at home, which is an obvious improvement, so this time at home, the 76ers and the Celtics played the third game, and they were ready to win, which was heard from their remarks before the game, they were ready to win this game.

Because of their team's interior mainstay, Elton Brand, who is tied with Randolph as one of the super brushes in the league, has returned from injury today, and players like brushes, if they are on a team, then they are All-Star level.

And if they're on a bad team, it's just a brush, and now Randolph has found the feeling of being an All-Star.

Now it's Elton Brand who needs to find a feeling! But with the addition of Brand, the current 76ers really don't have any obvious weaknesses in their positions, plus the presence of Iguodala and Willie Green, and their combat power does not want to be underestimated.

But even so, they want to win at Celtic's home stadium and end Celtic's 11-game winning streak by the way, but are Celtic so easy to deal with? Just kidding! At least Gongyang doesn't think so.

At 7:30 p.m. EST, the Celtics and the 76ers officially began the game, and today's 76ers started with center Samuel Delham Porter, big forward Dess Young, small forward Andre Iguodala, scoring guard Willie Green, and point guard Jrue Holiday

Elton Brand, who is recovering from injury today, sat on the bench and looked at him in a tracksuit to know that he would be on the court when it mattered, and the referee threw the basketball high into the air as the bell rang at the start of the game.

Perkins and Durham Porter both jumped up at the same time and slammed into the basketball in the air.

"Here, here!" At this time in the audience, Liu Ya is taking the Zhou sisters, shuttling inside, looking for their position, even if it is a league powerhouse like the Celtics, it is impossible to fill up in those non-national live games, their attendance rate is basically maintained between 8 percent or 9 percent, of course, if it is the finals, or the battle of the focus, then you may not even be able to buy tickets, but the game with the 76ers is not a battle of focus.

Today's attendance rate is about ninety percent, and there are one percent of empty seats, such as Liu Ya's position where Liu Ya is now bringing the Zhou sisters here to watch the game, which is the 'family seat' that has not been sold, generally speaking, as long as the family members of the team players want to come over to watch the game, they can enter the stadium for free, and then pick those seats that have not been sold to sit, which is also their welfare.

After Liu Ya looked for it, she easily found three seats in the front position, and came here with the Zhou sisters, Liu Ya sat in the innermost, Zhou Yun sat in the middle, and Zhou Lu sat outside, Zhou Lu was dissatisfied with Liu Ya.

She always felt that the relationship between this guy and Jiang Yang was unclear, and since they were rivals in love, they didn't have a good face to talk about.

"What about Jiang Yang? What about Jiang Yang? As soon as he sat down, Zhou Yun, who was sitting in the middle, began to look for Jiang Yang on the sidelines.

In the past, when watching the live broadcast of the five channels of the imperial court, Jiang Yang would always appear in the TV screen, a huge close-up.

So when you watch Jiang Yang on TV, you can easily find him, and when you watch Jiang Yang on the spot, you have to look for him.

"See, the person sitting in the back of the coach's seat, the one who is talking to Doug Rivers, that's Jiang Yang!" Liu Ya has come here to watch the game more than once or twice, and Jiang Yang naturally won't admit mistakes, Zhou Yun listened to Liu Ya's words, squinted her eyes and took a closer look, and sure enough, she found that the guy was Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang was discussing tactics with Doug Rivers at this time.

"It's so far away, but the atmosphere of the scene is better than watching TV!" Although it is a little far away, Jiang Yang can't see it clearly, but Zhou Yun is still very satisfied, Zhou Yun who has not seen Jiang Yang for four months, and now that he sees Jiang Yang himself, he really has some excitement in his heart, it just so happened that at this time Ray Allen received Rondo's pass and hit a three-point shot, and the fans in the audience cheered together, and Zhou Yun also cheered, and at this time, the main forces of the Celtics on the court also performed well.

With the momentum of 11 consecutive wins, they soon incorporated the game into their own rhythm, and while they bloomed more, they also limited the offensive efficiency of the 76ers, with 4 minutes and 56 seconds left in the first quarter, the score was 16-12, and the Green Army led by four points.

It's to limit Iguodala, it's already the second half of the first quarter at this time, Ray Allen's physical strength is already a little insufficient, originally Ray Allen's defense is basically based on defending the outside, while Iguodala is a complete power flow.

So with Ray Allen's lack of physical strength, the 76ers could easily play a wave of offense under Iguodala's leadership.

The four-point gap was not enough to satisfy Doug Rivers, so he replaced Jiang Yang, who was more defensive, on the court.

"Welcome, our No. 66, from China, Jiang ...... Ocean! Seeing Shi Jiangyang standing on the sidelines and exchanging with Ray Allen, the DJ on the sidelines also roared loudly, and then the fans in the audience also cheered.

Recently, Jiang Yang has become the most important member of the Green Army's bench, his passing and offense, and many times helped the Green Army win the game, so Jiang Yang is very popular in Boston, Liu Ya and the Zhou sisters in the audience, after seeing Jiang Yang on the court, they all stood up and cheered loudly, listening to the cheers of the fans on the sidelines, Jiang Yang walked into the stadium with a smile, and the game continued! The Celtics served, and Perkins handed the basketball directly to Rondo.

After Rondo got the ball, he glanced at the crowd on the sidelines and handed the ball to Paul Pierce, who broke through when he got the ball, and the player who defended him was Thaddeus Young, who had good talent, but his body was far behind Pierce.

After being easily pushed inside by Pierce, Pierce turned and jumped, but unfortunately the basketball was a little off.

After the shot was not scored, after being stuck in the position by Perkins under the basket, he got an offensive rebound, and then passed to Pierce, who tried to score three points but was not missed, which was only then that Daim Porter got the defensive rebound, and after Ju Holiday dribbled the ball past half court, he handed the ball to the team's boss Andre Iguodala, and after Iguodala got the ball, Jiang Yang directly pasted it.

Jiang Yang knew that his physical fitness was far from Iguodala, and even Pierce would find it difficult to withstand Iguodala.

This guy is a one-size-smaller LeBron James, and his strength and physical qualities are quite strong.

If he was allowed to rush up, then Jiang Yang would not be able to do it, so Jiang Yang could only stick it up one step ahead and start defending.

Iguodala knew that Jiang Yang's hands were black, but I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for less than a month, Jiang Yang's defense and physical fitness had been upgraded by a level, and he could easily break through Jiang Yang's defense, but now after being defended by Jiang Yang, it is not so easy for him to break through Jiang Yang's defense.

Although the three-point shot was not covered, it was interfered with, the basketball deviated from its original trajectory, smashed on the neck of the basket and bounced out, was grabbed by Perkins to the rebound, and then handed it to Jiang Yang, who was already about to go down, when Jiang Yang came to the opponent's three-point line, the speed disadvantage made Iguodala have chased up, to see if there was no chance, Jiang Yang handed the ball to Pierce who came up with him, Pierce took the ball and broke through the opponent's basket at the same time, attracting the opponent's brand's bag, Then the pass was handed to Garnett, who had already run to the baseline, and Garnett hit an easy layup, 18-12, and the score stretched to six points.

Jrue Holiday here forced a breakthrough through Rondo, but is Rondo so easy to break through? was stuck to death, barely shot and didn't score, after Perkins got the defensive rebound, handed it to Jiang Yang, Rondo just defended Holiday out of the bottom line, you can't give the ball to him anymore, Jiang Yang dribbled the ball over half court, saw that Garnett had come over, and hoisted the ball to him.

Garnett took the ball under the basket and turned to the basket without making a layup, but he actually used his arm span to get the basketball back again.

Then he hit a layup and scored two more points, 20-12, and the Celtics were already leading by as many as eight points.

The fans in the stadium were about to go crazy, and it was difficult to see the Celtics attack so arrogantly in the first quarter of the game.

Then Willie Green missed a jumper from 21 feet out, he is now playing a point guard, but it is Pierce who defends him, Jiang Yang's main responsibility on the court is to mark Iguodala, Willie Green jumps in front of Pierce, the shooting percentage can be imagined, and he was rebounded by Perkins again, and then passed to Rondo, recently Garnett has scored four points in a row.

Feeling hot, Rondo did not hesitate to hand the basketball directly to Garnett, Garnett took the ball and made a jumper from 20 feet out, did not score, but was handed over by Perkins to grab an offensive rebound, and then handed it to him to play.

Garnett broke through, and Iguodala, who had been staring at Pierce, could not help defend Garnett, and at the same time got Garnett down with a foul, he also sent Garnett to the free throw line, and at this time the 76ers had to ask for a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, Rasheed Wallace replaced Perkins, Eddie House replaced Rondo, Roy Ivey replaced Jrue Holiday with Elton Brand for Durham Porter and Marlys Speights replaced Thaddeus Young.

The bench lineups on both sides began to attack, after Garnett hit twice, he had scored 6 points in a row, 22-12, the Celtics led the 76ers by as many as 10 points, and then the Celtics asked for a timeout, replacing Garnett with Sheldon Williams, Tony Allen replaced Pierce, the game continued on both sides, and the game started again, but as soon as the game started, Eddie House made a mistake and dribbled out of bounds and had to change the ball, and Doug Rivers also signaled, after Eddie House dribbled past half court, Handed over to Jiang Yang to play, when he plays with the main players, Jiang Yang is an outside defensive gate.

And when playing with substitute players, Jiang Yang is the offensive core of the team, it's as simple as that.

After Evie dribbled past half-court, he looked at Eddie House in front of him and didn't rush to play.

Instead, he gave the ball to Elton Brand on the inside and let him attack, and Brand's tonnage is not ordinary.

After squeezing Rasheed Wallace twice, he squeezed him out of his defensive position before turning and hitting a jumper.

Today, he is also open! Rasheed Wallace, who was beaten one, was naturally unhappy, after Jiang Yang got the ball in the opponent's half, he beckoned for the ball, and Jiang Yang couldn't ignore the veteran's request, and directly hoisted the ball into the inside.

But Rashid Wallace's hand really wasn't good today, and Brand's defense was basically the main one who relied on the roar.

He also shook the opponent away, but the reflexive layup was not close, and the replaced center Maris Speights grabbed the defensive rebound, and then handed a long pass directly to Willie Green, Willie Green pressed Tony Allen to hit a three-point shot with 1 minute left in the game, and the original 10-point difference has narrowed to only five points at this time.

Now the rest of the team didn't dare to mess around, according to the coach's instructions, Eddie House handed the ball to Jiang Yang after half time, and after Jiang Yang took the ball, he faced Andre Iguodala.

Jiang Yang has made Iguodala very unhappy recently, after Jiang Yang came on the court, he threw three balls and did not score any of them.

And now that Jiang Yang is facing him with the ball, he naturally has to be ready to return Jiang Yang, so after Jiang Yang got the ball, he pounced directly, just to play with Jiang Yang the tactics he played with himself just now, but for such tactics, now Jiang Yang in the league says that he understands second, and no one dares to say that he understands first, seeing Iguodala rushing over, Jiang Yang turned around and ran.

After going around for half a circle, Rashid Wallace on the inside line has come out to block and dismantle Jiang Yang, and with an easy block and dismantle, he blocked Iguodala behind him, Jiang Yang directly entered the inside line, Brand's defense is very poor, this is just said.

So after Jiang Yang broke through, he hesitated and didn't defend it, which also gave Jiang Yang a chance, Jiang Yang hit a jump shot 8 feet away from the basket, and the score that had not risen for three minutes rose again.

And then, Rasheed Wallace, who didn't take revenge just now, also took revenge this time, and when the 76ers attacked, of course, they still focused on Elton Brand, and as soon as he received the ball, the ball let Rasheed Wallace poke it down.

Jiang Yang picked up the basketball on the sidelines and began to run wildly, Iguodala came up to mark, Jiang Yang handed the ball to Tony Allen who ran behind him with a very handsome back pass, Tony Allen's speed is not slow, and his physical fitness is also very good.

After receiving the ball, he rushed past Iguodala as soon as possible, because he was still blocked by Jiang Yang, and then rushed directly into the interior to dunk, if the dunk was dunked, it would be beautiful, but he ignored Willie Green behind him.

Willie Green ran over quietly like a thief, then jumped up lightly and slapped Tony Allen's basketball, and this time Jiang Yang, who was originally stuck with Iguodala, was stuck by Iguodala in turn.

After Iguodala got the ball, he wanted to attack, but he was blocked by Jiang Yang, and he made small movements.

Finally he couldn't take it anymore and passed the ball to Maris Speights, who received the ball and hit the inside straight away.

But he is an inside lineman, no matter how fast he is, he is slow, so when he was halfway through the impact, Tony Allen, who had just missed, came first, and at the moment when the opponent hit him, he fell down with a bang, and the referee's gesture was also given, and the offensive foul was fouled.

At this time, there were 17 seconds left before the end of the game, this time Eddie House did not dribble, Sheldon Williams directly sent the basketball to Jiang Yang, let Jiang Yang go to attack, Jiang Yang just entered the half, Iguodala walked over.

However, he didn't rush too hard like just now, Jiang Yang's physical fitness is not a concern, but the blocking and demolition tactics may not be useless to him, so this time he was about a meter away from Jiang Yang, standing in his three-threat position.

At this time, there is no need to pass the ball or organize the attack, Jiang Yang has been dribbling on the outside, pressing the time.

It wasn't until he suppressed the time for only two seconds that Jiang Yang moved, which was a simple pull-up jumper.

Iguodala is three centimeters shorter than Jiang Yang, and these three centimeters are sometimes very important for a defender.

Jiang Yang threw the three-point shot directly in front of Iguodala, and when the basketball was in the air, the red light representing the end of the first quarter of the game was already on, and the ball was unwilling to plunge into the basket.

"Die, die, press the whistle for three points!" When the ball went in, the audience was boiling, Jiang Yang's three-point shot would never let them down, and this three-point whistle showed Jiang Yang's big heart, this goal was scored, the advantage of the Celtics was expanded to ten points again, and now the pressure on the 76ers is getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Yang played more than 4 points in the first quarter, and got a total of 5 points without assists, he should have had three assists, but Garnett, Rasheed Wallace and Tony Allen were all wasted, but five points, whether it is Doug Rivers or Jiang Yang, they are more satisfied.
