However, at the critical moment, Arenas still showed his strong heart. With 21 seconds left in the game, he hit a shot to narrow the score to four points, but then, Rondo passed to Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang passed to Pierce, and Pierce found a foul on Butler, although he still hit one of two free throws, the score was still five points apart.

The Wizards had to call a timeout at this point because they now had no time to play the Celtics as usual.

At this time, Jiang Yang's task was also completed, wiping the sweat on his head, Jiang Yang returned to the field with a smile.

scored eight points in a row at the last moment, for Jiang Yang, such a result is enough, enough for himself!

After the timeout, Arenas missed a three-pointer and had to resort to foul tactics, this time to Ray Allen.

Ray Allen even if he doesn't feel good, his free throws are extremely unlikely not to score, two free throws and two hits, the original five-point gap became 7 points, Arenas tried three points again or didn't score, and this time it was in Perkins' hands Perkins only scored one, but the difference was still as many as 8 points, and finally Arenas finally scored one, but unfortunately it was only a two-point shot.

The Celtic players basically didn't block this ball, which can be regarded as the meaning of letting the other party vent.

In the end, the Celtics won the game with a six-point advantage of 108-102 on the road, Rondo was the best in the game, with a total of 21 points and 11 assists, and Jiang Yang scored eight points in a row at the last moment, which also made his reputation soar!

The record of 15 points and 4 assists is a perfect performance for any bench player.

Looking at Jiang Yang's ability on the court, Doug Rivers off the court is also very appreciative, just because of Jiang Yang's performance today, Doug Rivers has actually decided to make Jiang Yang the sixth man in his team, even if his level is not enough to reach such a height now, but Jiang Yang is really very suitable, and he is also very smart, he wants to believe that Jiang Yang must be an excellent player, although he has not participated in the draft, although his current annual salary is only more than 300,000 US dollars.

After the game, Rondo and other players went to the press conference to answer questions from reporters.

As soon as the five-minute interview time passed, the reporters left the locker room, and Jiang Yang also cleaned up, took the team's bus, left the MIC center and went to the hotel, there was nothing to say about this night, after all, the game was not easy, after the game, everyone was very tired.

Now the Celtics players also need plenty of time to rest, and Jiang Yang is no different.

After Jiang Yang returned to the hotel, he fell asleep and slept until the next morning, when he was awakened by a knock on the door, wearing pajamas, Jiang Yang came to the door in a daze, and after opening the door, he found Doug Rivers standing in front of him.

"Hi Jiang, did you wake up? Accompany me to breakfast! Looking at Jiang Yang's eyes that he couldn't open, Doug Rivers couldn't help laughing. When you get older, you will feel less, and unless you drink too much the night before, you will wake up earlier.

Doug Rivers is like this, so he got up very early, while Jiang Yang usually gets up early, because he has to train, and now when he is away from home in a row, Jiang Yang is naturally not in the mood to train, and he was very tired in last night's game.

"Oh, that's it, the coach wait for me!" Hearing Doug Rivers' words, although Jiang Yang was still a little sleepy, he still strengthened his spirits, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and followed Doug Rivers to the hotel's restaurant for breakfast.

After coming to the restaurant, it was really too early, except for Jiang Yang and Doug Rivers, no other players came here for breakfast, looking at the two breakfasts that had been prepared for Doug Rivers a long time ago, Jiang Yang sat down with a smile.

"Eat first, then talk after eating!" Jiang Yang was not stupid, he knew that Doug Rivers called him over for breakfast alone, and he must have something to say to himself, so Jiang Yang didn't ask much, and sat at the table to eat after listening to Doug Rivers' words.

There are not many nutritious meals in total, plus Jiang Yang is indeed a little hungry, Jiang Yang solved the battle in ten minutes after one meal, and seeing that Jiang Yang finished eating, Doug Rivers, who had only eaten half of it, also put down his knife and fork and looked at Jiang Yang like this.

"Coach, if you have anything to say, I don't feel comfortable if you look at me like this!" Feeling Doug Rivers' gaze at him, Jiang Yang touched the back of his head a little embarrassed, and said to Doug Rivers with a smile.

"Well, then I'll just say it directly, Jiang, you're very talented, you know?" Doug Rivers listened to Jiang Yang's words, and he was not polite, and said directly to Jiang Yang, listening to Doug Rivers's words, Jiang Yang had some doubts.

"Don't explain it first, listen to me first, you have good talent, good creativity, although your strength may still be at the middle and lower level of the team now, but I want to say that as long as you work hard, sooner or later you will become a superstar in the Gray League!" Looking at Jiang Yang, Doug Rivers can now assert that this Jiang Yang is really very good.

"But now your only problem is that you are not confident enough......" However, Doug Rivers did not give Jiang Yang time to self-absorb, and directly gave Jiang Yang one of the biggest problems, the current Jiang Yang is really not confident enough.

"In the last game, you basically did a perfect job, but there were two things that you didn't do well!" Doug Rivers pushed away the food in front of him, looked at Jiang Yang and said slowly, he is now teaching Jiang Yang.

"First, when Tony Allen has been playing for a long time, you have already given up the opportunity to play, this problem is very important, professional athletes, you must be professional, you must be ready to play at any time, not after you have not played for a long time, you will expose yourself and give up your own opportunity to play!" Looking at Jiang Yang, Doug Rivers' words were really like a knife, directly cutting into Jiang Yang's weakness, and he had already given up playing yesterday when he saw Tony Allen on the court taking up so much of his playing time.

"But this is understandable, you were not a professional athlete before after all, and professionalism needs to be cultivated slowly!" Looking at Jiang Yang's somewhat embarrassed expression, Doug Rivers nodded lightly, thin-skinned, such a player is almost invisible in the NBA, but Doug Rivers is not worried, Jiang Yang is also thin-skinned on the court...... "The second point is that you are not confident enough, I have already said that when you want to become the main point of attack on the court, you hesitated at that time, although Paul (Pierce) made two free throws and two shots to overtake the score, but what if he didn't make a free throw?" You can't pin your hopes on others, when the coach says that you are the main attacker, then you are the main attack! Looking at Jiang Yang's puzzled expression, Doug Rivers said slowly, and after listening to Doug Rivers' words, Jiang Yang nodded lightly.

Jiang Yang is indeed a little unconfident, Jiang Yang's courage has been small since he was a child, so he was always bullied when he was in school.

If it weren't for Zhou Yun, the tomboy at the beginning, Jiang Yang might have been bullied when he was a child, and sometimes life is like a beast chess, cats eat mice, tigers eat cats, elephants eat tigers, and mice eat elephants, those who bully Jiang Yang are afraid of Zhou Yun, and Zhou Yun is good with Jiang Yang, and when he is with Jiang Yang, he is always bullied by Jiang Yang.

But even so, Jiang Yang's self-confidence has not been very strong since he was a child, and later after he went to high school, he slowly eased, but an accident, his parents passed away unexpectedly, which caused a huge blow to Jiang Yang.

So Jiang Yang, who just arrived in S City, didn't have a very good life, until later, Jiang Yang met that woman, and after having that woman, Jiang Yang's self-confidence slowly recovered, but then there was that incident, Jiang Yang's self-confidence was hit again, and he returned to Harbin in a gloomy manner, otherwise he would not have lived with the Zhou sisters for three months without even pulling his hand.

has lived with Liu Ya for so long, and there has been 'flesh-body' contact, but there is no development at all.

Timidity is one thing, and on the other hand, Jiang Yang himself is extremely unconfident in himself, and he thinks that he is not worthy of the other party.

After listening to Doug Rivers' words, Jiang Yang really agreed very much in his heart, and he was indeed a little too hesitant.

"Of course, whether it's self-confidence or professionalism, it's not something that can be built up in a day or two, but you played very well last night, and tomorrow I will give you plenty of time on the bench, all you need to do is attack, attack and attack!" Doug Rivers cut off the last piece of the steak in front of him, put it in his mouth, looked at Jiang Yang in front of him and said softly.

Hearing Doug Rivers' words, Jiang Yang nodded, Jiang Yang is not a person who does not understand the truth.

Now that Doug Rivers has given himself a chance, it's up to him to see if he can catch it.

"You will definitely become a superstar in the future, and to become a superstar, humility is a good quality, but timidity, that is the biggest stumbling block that prevents you from becoming a superstar, you have to think about it yourself!" Seeing that Jiang Yang was already thinking about what he was saying, Doug Rivers patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then took the plate in front of him and Jiang Yang and sent it to the plate recycling station, which is like this in the United States, basically after eating fast food in the United States, he cleaned up the plate by himself.

Few people will throw it there directly after eating and wait for the waiter to come and clean it up, as is the case in China.

Just as Jiang Yang was thinking there, and Doug Rivers went to deliver the plate, they didn't pay attention, but there was a figure standing against the wall outside the restaurant, if the two of them saw who this person was, they might not be too happy.

This person is none other than Tony Allen, who just returned from injury yesterday, looking at his gritted teeth and clenched fists, he knows what he is enduring at this time, looking at Jiang Yang who is thinking there in the distance, Tony Allen turned around and left the restaurant, Tony Allen is a very favored player, at least before Jiang Yang came to the Celtics, he was definitely one of the most favored players on the bench in the team, with his performance on the court all the time, coupled with hard work at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, If you want to take down the opponent, he is also the first mature player in the Celtic substitute youth army!

Although he is only 193 cm tall, he is very strong physically, very fast, loves to attack the basket, is ferocious and persistent, can play and defend three positions on the court, and is the team's best backcourt single defensive player before Jiang Yang came, of course, all this disappeared with Jiang Yang's arrival.

He was only injured for a while, Jiang Yang appeared to take his place, compared to Tony Allen, Jiang Yang's offense is more sharp, although he no longer attacks the basket, but his three-point shot is very threatening, although the outside defense, although only A-, is still a level worse than Tony Allen, but Jiang Yang's dedicated defense, as well as the defensive ability inherited from Bowen, makes him the most pitiful outside defender in the league, talented, willing to work hard, this is Jiang Yang.

These are all in the eyes of Doug Rivers, plus because of Jiang Yang recently, the Celtics have won eight in a row.

Originally, in my heart, my love for Tony Allen slowly shifted to Jiang Yang, otherwise there would be no conversation today. Tony Allen, who didn't feel like he was playing very well yesterday, got up early this morning, originally wanting to train his hand after breakfast, but he unexpectedly heard Doug Rivers in the dining room.

In fact, whoever it is, after learning that his previous position was snatched away, will not feel comfortable in his heart, even Tony Allen, with a hint of helplessness, Tony Allen returned to the room, after breakfast, took the team's bus to the airport, from Washington to Chicago, in Chicago, the Celtics prepare for their sixth game in December.

Because it has been back-to-back away games recently, Doug River gave the players a half-day off to relax and prepare for tomorrow's game, returned to the hotel, and after dropping off his luggage, Tony Allen left the hotel.

When he met Jiang Yang on the road, Jiang Yang also said hello to him, but Tony Allen didn't know how to face Jiang Yang at this time, so he could only nod, and then left the hotel quickly and went to a nearby bar.

Usually people like Tony Allen, when they are in a bad mood, will always want to go to the bar and sit, even if they have a game tomorrow and can't drink today, he likes to sit here, and that kind of noisy atmosphere will make them feel relaxed.

"Hi Tony, here!" As soon as I entered the hotel, I saw several young people in costumed clothes shouting at Tony Allen.

Looking at the guys, Tony Allen smiled reluctantly and walked over, after all, these people used to be his 'friends'.

"Hey, what a coincidence!" Although Tony Allen was in a bad mood, he was also a veteran player, so he wouldn't put such feelings on his face, walked to the side of the table, smiled at everyone, and leaned to the side.

"One?" Seeing that Tony Allen didn't sit down, the group of young people didn't say much, the one leaning next to him took out a cigarette and handed it to Tony Allen but was blocked by him, he knew that this cigarette was not an ordinary cigarette, it was filled with ingredients, as a basketball player, Tony Allen knew what to touch sometimes and what not to touch sometimes.

"Tony, we're here for you today, and we hope you can do us a small favor!" Tony Allen's friends smiled at Tony Allen, and then took the cigarette back from his hand.

"Heh, you guys, I don't think I can help!" Tony Allen didn't answer the call, but directly rejected the other party's request, no one knows the character of these guys better than Tony Allen, and it must not be a good thing for them to ask for their own business.

After all, Tony Allen was almost in prison because of his so-called righteous anger, and he was implicated by these guys.

After his rookie season, his fox friends who found out that Tony Allen was on fire asked him to do something.

Then Tony Allen was involved in a shooting, and after two days in prison, he was released on parole, although it turned out to have nothing to do with the shooting, but his reputation stinked, just like Kobe's strong-annihilation case, this stain will accompany him for the rest of his life, once he was bitten by a snake, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, which is the true portrayal of Tony Allen now.

He didn't want to believe that his former 'friends' would do some serious business to beg him, that was impossible.

Tony Allen's foundation is not as clean as most players, he was born in Chicago since he was a child, this is his hometown, but no matter which city, which metropolitan area, where there is light, there is darkness, the former Tony Allen belongs to the dark circle of Chicago, surrounded by unlucky fox friends side by side, in this circle of people, there are almost no people who have not been in prison.

It is precisely because Tony Allen was mixed with them in the past, that after Tony Allen, who was originally at a good level, graduated from high school, no school was even willing to give him a scholarship, which is not just a matter of money, no scholarship, it means that he is not specially recruited to enter the school basketball team, and if you want to enter normally, you have to take the exam, how many NBA players do you think can be admitted to college? In the end, the University of Oklahoma was willing to provide him with a scholarship, and it was because of this scholarship that he really entered the professional circle of the NBA, and was selected by the Celtics at the 25th place in the draft in 04.
