Chapter 152: Jiang Yang's physical strength
It's not that Jiang Yang doesn't want to go, and it's not that Doug Rivers won't let him go, mainly because Jiang Yang's physical strength is really gone.
Jiang Yang has played 21 minutes today, A-'s physical fitness, the estimated upper limit is also these, now Jiang Yang's physical fitness has serious problems, he works the defensive end to defend Petrus, and he has to help defend Carter at any time, Petrus let Jiang Yang defend today only scored six points, but there were 11 shots, 2 of 11 shots, two three-pointers, and no one point left.
It wasn't until Jiang Yang went off the court that he hit another three-pointer and pulled the score to nine points!
On the offensive end, Jiang Yang's performance was also quite good, after scoring ten points in the second quarter, he scored five points in the third quarter, and after playing twenty-one minutes, Jiang Yang has scored 15 points plus 5 assists, such data is perfect for a bench player, you must know that now the entire Celtics score only more than 60 points!
But at the most critical time, Jiang Yang's physical strength couldn't keep up, and in the middle of the third quarter, Jiang Yang had almost achieved the state of 'basically relying on roaring on defense' on the court, and he really didn't have the strength to play on the court anymore.
When the third quarter just came down, Jiang Yang's head was dizzy, and he felt like he wanted to vomit when he opened his mouth, which was a manifestation of serious physical overdraft, and without Jiang Yang's restrictions, the outside line of the magic team slowly came back to life.
Tony Allen, who replaced Jiang Yang on the field, to be honest, his defense is basically half a pound and eight taels with Jiang Yang, he can only be stronger than Jiang Yang, not weaker than Jiang Yang, especially the anti-breakthrough, Tony Allen's defense breakthrough is particularly powerful, even if Jiang Yang has a little black hand, he may not be able to please his men, because his defense is basically smashing people with his body.
There are not many such iron-blooded real men in this world where soft eggs are rampant! And Tony Allen is one, so although Jiang Yang usually grabbed his position, he was still very humble to ask Tony Allen questions during the game, but Tony Allen has always ignored Jiang Yang...... While Tony Allen's defensive breakout is strong and sharp, his height is a huge issue.
Tony Allen is only 193 centimeters, and it's okay to play shooting guard, but it's good to play small forward...... It's a little too short.
When Tony Allen played, Barnes and Lewis scored separately, Barnes needless to say, although it is known as very comprehensive, but it is basically a role player, and Lewis, a well-known bully in the league, is afraid of hard picking, and the offense is basically completed on the outside, in the face of players who are shorter than himself, he is bullied to his heart's content, and Tony Allen's height today has become a breakthrough for the Magic team, watching Tony Allen being teased like this on the court, Doug Rivers' face will definitely not look good, and it is precisely because Tony Allen's weakness is too big that it also allowed the Magic to chase the score to 70-76 with 1:26 left before the end of the game, only six points short of the final ...... And at this time, the Celtics couldn't sit still.
"Jiang, have you recovered a bit?" There is no way, Doug Rivers can only set his eyes on Jiang Yang who is resting next to him, Jiang Yang played a total of seven minutes in the third quarter, and the remaining five minutes have been resting, plus the eleven minutes of this game, and the two minutes between the sections, Jiang Yang, who rested for eighteen minutes, is finally a little back to his senses now.
"There should be no problem!" Jiang Yang watched Doug Rivers take a deep breath, feeling that his chest was not as hot as it was just now, and then slowly spit out this breath, when he was running on the court just now, Jiang Yang even felt that his chest was about to tear, his physical fitness was indeed a problem, and sure enough, A-'s physical fitness could only play as a substitute. It's over after playing for a little longer, and what Jiang Yang needs most now is an advanced physical training method.
"You have to find a way to trigger the mission, or get a new skill, the body is really bad!" Feeling the faint pain in his chest, Jiang Yang took off his coat and stood up, walked to the sidelines to replace Tony Allen, and returned to the court!
"It's only a minute and a half, hold on!" Watching Jiang Yang walk to the court, Tony Allen, who also knew that he was the biggest weakness on the court, was a little embarrassed to high-five Jiang Yang, when Jiang Yang was originally on the court, the difference between the two sides did not narrow to ten points, and Jiang Yang was off the court, and the score was almost caught up several times, if it weren't for Ray Allen and Rondo occasionally having some shining points, maybe the Magic would have caught up with the score by now! Tony Allen performed well on the offensive end today, but when it came to the defensive end, his height was really not as domineering as Jiang Yang...... Although Jiang Yang's skills are not high, his physical fitness has been transformed into the most suitable for playing basketball, and he drank experience potions to increase defense last time, and his arm span has increased again, and recently Jiang Yang's arm span has increased from 6 feet 5 inches (196 cm) to 6 feet 8 inches (203 cm).
The arm extension is already taller than Jiang Yang's own height, and the longer the arm, the sharper the defense on the outside.
Of course, it's okay to be so long, but if it's longer, it won't look good...... Jiang Yang doesn't want to be like Prince, Marion, or Garnett, looking away from a distance, as if it hasn't been completed! If the arm is too long, it will be too evil...... "At the last moment, Jiang Yang came on the court, let's see if Jiang Yang can contain the counterattack of the magic team!" Jeff Van Gundy watched Jiang Yang come back to the field and said loudly, in fact, needless to say, he also understood that Jiang Yang's physical strength was a problem.
After all, according to the information he knew, Jiang Yang had never really played basketball before, and he had only played basketball for a month.
The physical strength can support him to play for more than 20 minutes, which is already a miracle, if this physical strength is placed in China, at least he can play two CBA games in a row, and the NBA confrontation is too painful! Especially Jiang Yang is still very serious at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
The game restarted, after Jiang Yang came to the field, he also made a brief exchange with Rondo, now Jiang Yang will have no extra physical strength to defend if he attacks, and if he defends, he will not have extra physical strength to attack, so he can only choose one of the two, at the beginning, he chose to attack, and now what Celtic needs is to score! After Rondo dribbled past half-court, he gave the ball to Ray Allen, who had little chance of his own, and it was Petrus who defended him.
Carter's defense was terrible, so in the face of the opponent's number one killer, the Magic chose Petrus to come over and defend.
This buddy, who is known as the French Jordan, has offensive ability, basically relying on Meng, and his stature is not tall, but he does have a set of defense! Even if Jiang Yang saw it, he had to give him a thumbs up! Although in the finals last season, he was beaten like a grandson by Kobe Bryant~ If it weren't for Turkoglou's bravery, maybe the Magic team was swept 4-0 by the Lakers in the finals.
But now Petrus is the real Magic's first outside defense! Ray Allen glanced at the situation on the field and swept his gaze to the side, since Petrus defended himself, then defending Jiang Yang must be Carter...... Under Petrus's defense, Ray Allen feels like he doesn't have any chances, but Jiang Yang's side may not be, Carter's offense is very strong, but his defense, hehe...... Looking at Jiang Yang, who has scored 15 points today, Ray Allen passed the basketball to Jiang Yang's hands, Jiang Yang took the ball and lowered his center of gravity, now he wants to try to save the physical strength he has accumulated with great difficulty, facing Carter in front of him, Jiang Yang smiled, cat waist, he needs to find a way to save physical strength, and then he can also hit the ball in! In the end, Jiang Yang turned his gaze to Carter's right side! After deciding, Jiang Yang suddenly began to dribble, the ball was handed over to his left hand, and he broke through directly to Carter's right, Carter was not polite, and immediately came up, although Carter's defense is a little worse than his offense, but when he is older, he can no longer be rampage like before, he came to the Magic team, and he also wants to learn Stan Van Gundy's outside defense, at least now he is very upright in defensive attitude.
Seeing Jiang Yang rushing over, he immediately blocked Jiang Yang with a horizontal move, and just as he moved his center of gravity, Jiang Yang suddenly swung his wrist, like a flip wrist in a street ball, but the wrist did not turn, and the center of gravity that was originally to the right was directly hoisted to the left.
But now it's a key ball, and he can't afford to lose it, so he can only forcibly shift his focus again...... If it was Carter ten years ago, he would hardly have to work hard to transfer like this, but the years are not forgiving!
Especially since he has been abolished so many times, and now he can still stand here and play, which is a miracle!
At the moment when Carter shifted his center of gravity and thought that he had defended Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang dribbled behind his back, and the ball returned to his left hand again, and he leaned on Carter, completing a very beautiful turn, directly wiping Carter behind him.
"Well, what a gorgeous turn! Oh, my God! It's beautiful! "Although Jeff Van Gundy doesn't like this kind of dribbling off the court, but that was when he was still the head coach, and now he is just a fan, Jiang Yang's gorgeous dribbling at least looks beautiful, and after Jiang Yang dribbled the ball, he obviously felt that his hands and the ball in his hands felt different.
'The dribble should have broken through again!' Feeling the feeling of being one player, Jiang Yang smiled confidently.
followed by a simple lateral move, Jiang Yang rushed directly into the inner line, while Carter was leaned behind by Jiang Yang and had been pulled away.
Seeing Jiang Yang rushing into the inside, Howard immediately came over to make up for the defense, but Jiang Yang sent the basketball into the basket with a simple pull-up jump shot before Howard came out, 78-70, Jiang Yang helped the Celtics slowly pull away the score again. Carter, who was broken through, felt that he was very faceless, so in this offensive round, he wanted to get face back.
After Nelson dribbled the ball past half court, he originally wanted to attack by himself, but when he saw Carter asking for the ball, he hesitated for a moment and handed the ball to Carter, Carter faced Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang came on the court this time to limit Carter's play.
After a simple cross-step change of hands, Carter lowered his center of gravity and wanted to break through Jiang Yang, his physical strength is better than Jiang Yang's, but who called Jiang Yang just upgraded, although the upgrade of dribbling did not bring much benefit to Jiang Yang, not like a physical fitness upgrade, directly full of physical strength, and then there was no secret disease, although the dribbling upgrade did not have many benefits, but it also added some physical strength to Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang, who had physical strength, once again became the master of single defense! Seeing Carter rushing up, an arrow step Jiang Yang also followed, and then after sticking Carter, he began to put his hands up and down, Jiang Yang's hand to his waist, Carter's face instantly changed color, and Jiang Yang fought two games, I don't know how many rounds, from the first game, Jiang Yang's defense left an indelible impression on himself, when Bowen retired, he was also one of the people who secretly opened champagne at home to celebrate, but now Jiang Yang's appearance completely made Carter regret his original move, this Jiang Yang's defense is exactly the same as Bowen's.
He has long known that Jiang Yang will be black, and this guy always gives himself a feeling of Bowen II, his heart trembled, he had a sense of distrust in his attack, at this time he could only pass the ball, while Jiang Yang had not completely hacked him, he passed the ball to the left side, Lewis received the ball in the bottom corner of the left side, Rashad Lewis, who was unable to play anything in this game, really made Garnett a little helpless, this guy stood too far away when attacking, Garnett couldn't run out to defend him.
If he runs out to defend him, what about Howard on the inside? It is not a big problem for Perkins to resist him, but it is not so easy to completely prevent death, so Garnett has to be in a position to make up for it at any time, which also gives Lewis a chance.
After Lewis received the ball, he jumped directly and hit the most critical three-pointer of the game, at this time there was only the last one left in the game, and the score was 78-73 only five points away, and the Magic team couldn't help but see the hope of a comeback at this time.
But as soon as that hope was raised, it was extinguished by Ray Allen, who first broke through himself and then hit a pull-up jumper.
Then in the next round, Ray Allen broke through, shook off Petrus, and attracted Carter's bag, Ray Allen is also a very well-rounded player, he also knows that he has a problem with his current physical strength, it is better to make the ball for his teammates, and now in the team, among the personnel on the field, Jiang Yang is the most stable except for him, so after Ray Allen took a look at Jiang Yang's position, he directly handed the ball to Jiang Yang on the outside! Jiang Yang took the ball and glanced at the basket in front of him, jumped high, and before Lewis came over to make up for the defense, Jiang Yang threw the ball out, empty space! There aren't many opportunities like this in the game! Seeing that Jiang Yang had already thrown the ball, Stan Van Gundy could only pat his head helplessly!
"Brush!" With a soft sound, Jiang Yang's three-point shot directly helped the Celtics pull the score away again! The original score of 80-73 instantly became 83-73, and the difference between the two sides was once again widened to ten points, and Jiang Yang's score officially reached twenty points.
The next ball, after Rondo passed the half, handed the ball to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang just made a move to shoot, and the opponent pounced directly, they seemed to have forgotten that Jiang Yang would pass the ball! A simple horizontal pass handed the ball to Ray Allen, who hit two points again, and the two scored seven points in a row within 35 seconds, instantly stretching the score to as many as 12 points, and at this time the Magic team had to resort to foul tactics. With Rondo hitting one of two free throws, the game was tied at 86-75, and the Magic had no hope of a comeback...... With Carter hitting one in the end, the Celtics won the game 86-77 and won the crucial Christmas game, but they will have trouble in the rest of the game...... Because the game had just ended, Jiang Yang was tired and collapsed, but he was helped off the court by the players, this game was a great challenge to Jiang Yang's physical strength!
And the three daughters who were watching TV at home, when they saw Jiang Yang fall powerlessly, their hearts were also pinched together.
immediately picked up his mobile phone and started calling, but at this time, no one answered the call, because Jiang Yang's mobile phone was still in the locker room, and the mobile phone couldn't get through, so he sent a text message, and the text messages of the three girls were sent to Jiang Yang's mobile phone almost at the same time, but Jiang Yang was tired now and had no leisure to reply to text messages or anything.
And Paul Pearce, who was still in the hospital at this time, naturally watched the team's game today.
Looking at Jiang Yang's situation playing for himself on the field, he is still very pleased, Jiang Yang's outside line is very accurate, and he has a good passing ability, the defense is not very active, everything is fine, only Jiang Yang's physical strength, he can't help frowning, now he can't play for half a month, and with Jiang Yang's bad physical strength, the future game will not be good!
Almost as soon as he got on the seat in the locker room, Jiang Yang had already fallen asleep, knowing that it was only five o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Yang was so tired today, and the Celtics deliberately refused to allow the media to enter the locker room for an interview for Jiang Yang.
Most of the media said that they could understand that Jiang Yang played the first time he was a starter, and it was understandable that his body was a little unbearable, but some media didn't think so, most of these media were local media in Orlando, but what they thought, it had nothing to do with Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang was in his sleep, as if he had returned to the Bulls era when he first participated in the dungeon, at that time Phil Jackson was training Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang was as tired as a dead dog on the first day.
He didn't even know how to get home, and today he was tired and a dead dog, and he still didn't know how to get back to the hotel......
