Chapter 334: Gasol's Role
"Bang!" "Yaha,......", Jiang Yiyi Yiyi ,...... The one in front is the sound of the basketball smashing into the basket, the one in the back is the roar of Jiang Yang beating his chest after jumping off the basket, and finally the sound of the DJ on the scene!
With the shouting of the DJ on the scene, the audience gave Jiang Yangzai their applause for the first time!
And when Jiang Yang retreated, he was also sought after by everyone, high-fives, and slaps!
And the genius who just came to Mark Gasol was also surprised, he really didn't know that the Raptors played like this.
In fact, the Raptors' tactics of playing are very simple, Jiang Yang is the main attacker, and everything else is easy to say.
Even if Kyle is an old demon-type nose team, in the face of Jiang Yang's domineering attack, they can't help but tremble.
In the next game, the game was a little shrunken, and the Raptors' offense was playing more and more, and the Celtics didn't have the strength to fight back at all. Guarding the basket, like a mad dog, not giving up a rebound, not giving up any basketball, a second offensive opportunity, and his hard work on the offensive end has also weakened Jiang Yang's offensive pressure a little, although it is not too weak, but as long as Jiang Yang is given the opportunity to attack, then the Celtics are waiting to be scored!
Jiang Yang faced the Celtics alone, and he played quite well, occasionally Banjani and Magasol Gasol on the inside line can also help Jiang Yang, only one Sony is not bad, he can help Jiang Yang on the offensive end, at least his vacant position can be thrown, the ball just now is a turning point, originally the Celtics still have a certain advantage over Jiang Yang.
But just this blow made the Celtics' mood change a little! At the end of the second quarter, the Raptors went into the second half with a 42-27 lead in the first quarter and a seven-point lead of 65-58.
At the beginning of the second half, Jiang Yang was still on the court, the Raptors were still playing very excited, and at the same time, with Mark Gasol, Jiang Yang They can also tighten their team's defense, this quarter of the game, they only let the Kyle Holders get the points, and they got 21 points, at the end of the third quarter, the Raptors led the other party 85-75 "points into the final quarter of the game, the score is double, this is not good news, Jiang Yang, who has scored 41 points in the third quarter of the game, was replaced at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and Jiang Yang was alone, and he scored half of the team.
This is a good thing for Jiang Yang and the Raptors, but it is also a bad thing, because the rest of them are really poor offensively.
After the start of the fourth quarter, Jay "Tria also knew that he couldn't count on Jiang Yang for everything, so at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he left Jiang Yang in the flat and replaced the substitute player to play on the court, Banjani returned to the No. 5 position, and then Amir Johnson came to the No. 4 position, and the newly arrived Mark Gasol is now mainly adapted to the team's play.
Banyani saw that Jiang Yang was rarely absent, and directly took over the initiative of the offense, and at a distance of feet away from the basket, he directly turned around and hit a jumper, stretching the score to 13 points, but immediately Delonte Tans also hit a jumper from 15 feet away, and found the score back, DeRozan hit a shot and scored 2 points, but then West became the savior of the Green Shirts, he hit another shot and scored 2 points, he only scored 5 points in total, and now he has scored 4 points, Bargnani drew a foul on Glenn Davis on the inside, hit two free throws, and after hitting two free throws, he had another chance to attack, hitting a step-back jumper from 23 feet out to score two more points, and his score reached 23 points, which can be described as a high score.
Kyle's handler is not asking for a timeout, and they are now 79-94 behind the Raptors by as many as 15 points!
If you don't cheer up, there will be no chance, Doug and Rivers did not hesitate, and directly replaced their main players, Kevin Garnett replaced Glenn Davis, and Nate replaced Marbens Daniels.
However, because of the fact that there are more leads, Jay Tria did not let Jiang Yang play, and Jiang Yang still sat off the court.
The game continued on both sides, and as soon as the timeout returned, Pierce launched his own attack, causing a foul on Linas and Creza who defended himself, and then Barbosa, the sixth man on the outside, finally fired again and hit a three-pointer on the outside, but then O'Neal hit Banyani inside, causing Banjani's foul.
It's a rare thing that O'Neal actually hit two free throws, which is really a surprise.
After that, the Celtics' show began, starting with O'Neal's layup with an assist from Garnet, Garnett's 9-foot jumper, Pierce's dribble layup, Garnett's 10-foot mid-range shot, and Ray Allen's 25-foot three-pointer...... A 13-1 offensive wave was played out in the hands of Kyle's handler.
The 15-point lead changed in an instant, and the Raptors only led by 3 points at 98-94 with 4 minutes left before the end of the game, and the Raptors have not hit a single one of their last ten offenses.
Since the Celtics changed their main team, it has been difficult for the players on the Raptors' side to score.
Jay Tria looked at such a scoreline, and he knew he couldn't take any more risks! immediately called a timeout and replaced Jiang Yang and Marc Gasol on the field, this is already the final decisive battle! And after Jiang Yang came on the field, his combat effectiveness skyrocketed!
As soon as he got on the court, he rushed into the inside, dodged the defensive Pierce, and passed the basketball to the inside Mark Gasol in front of Garnett, Gasol Jr. turned around and hit a jumper, although Gasol Jr.'s hand is not as soft as his brother Pau Gasol, but he also has a good mid-range jumper ability!
This kind of ability, when facing a big center like O'Neal who can't be defended, is also very useful.
The Raptors also slowed down a bit when they hit the mid-range shot, but then Ray Allen received a pass from Pierce and hit a three-point shot, turning the score into 100-97, three points away! At the critical moment, Jiang Yang rushed into the inner line again.
Then the inside pass to Mazz Gasol, but this time Garnett learned sharply, the moment Mark Gasol's hand was raised, he made up for the defense, but this was just Mark Gasol's false shot, after attracting Garnett, he directly passed the ball back to Jiang Yang, Mark Gasol has a pretty good ability to cut the ball inside, which is also the reason why Jiang Yang likes him.
After the basketball brushed directly into Jiang Yang's hand, Jiang Yang was empty in front of the ball, and then Jiang Yang once again showed his explosive ability, jumping directly on the weak side, holding a big windmill with the basketball in both hands, and smashing the basketball into the basket.
Paul and Pierce used the block to rush into the inside line and use O'Neal to block Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang did not chase when he shot directly, but was blocked by Banyani in a righteous way, but although he shot the ball out but was not good at blocking, Banyani made a mistake, he hit the ball and flew the ball at the same time, and also sent Paul and Pierce to the free throw line.
Pierce hit two free throws to turn the score into 99-102, with three points left on both sides!
And these three points, for the Raptors, are crucial, attacking again, it is still Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang dribbled past half the court, and the defenders in front of him came, this time it was not Pierce who defended Jiang Yang, but Lei Yi Allen.
Pierce stared at Jiang Yang, and the physical consumption was a little large, so he changed Lei Yi Allen to defend Jiang Yang, don't underestimate Lei Yi Allen.
When the Celtics and Lakers were pitting off, the heavy responsibility of defending Kobe Bryant was always Ray Allen's before Jiang Yang came.
Lei Yi Allen may have only shown himself as a shooter before, but this does not mean that he can't defend, but Lei Yi Allen's defense is very good! And his speed is not slower than anyone in the alliance, especially when Doug Rivers saw that Jiang Yang always used speed to beat Pierce, so he began to use Lei Yi Allen to deal with Jiang Yang.
But Jiang Yang has not only speed, his speed is faster than Pierce, but his strength is also greater than Lei Yi Allen!
Jiang Yang looked at Lei Yi Alun in front of him, there was no feint at all, just like a bulldozer, dribbling directly in the middle line, and then rushed towards Lei Yi Allen, Lei Yi Allen could almost subconsciously flash backwards, and was knocked away by Jiang Yang.
Bumped into Lei Yi Allen's, Jiang Yang continued to impact the inside line, and at this time, Kanei did not dare to come over to make up for the defense, because Banyani was still standing next to him, and O'Neill on the inside line was also stuck with Makgasol, and the only one who could make up the defense was the outside line.
But DeRozan on the outside pulled Pierce far away earlier, and DeRozan also knew that he didn't have any chance to perform today, so he would make more contributions to the team, this guy's shooting was too unstable.
And the Sony Yiwei surname next to him is constantly interspersed back and forth, which also makes Robinson, the in-house leader behind him, have no chance to make up for the defense.
In this way, after Jiang Yang rushed into the inner line, the Kyle Carrier team couldn't even come up with people to make up for the defense, how could Jiang Yang let go of such an opportunity? When Jiang Yang's right foot stepped directly into the free throw line, he flew straight up.
Watching Jiang Yang fly, all the Celtic generals could do was to raise their heads helplessly and look at Jiang Yang flying!
"Jiang ...... Ocean! Seeing Jiang Yang take off, the DJ on the scene has already interpreted Jiang Yang's movements with his own chalk!
Right on the spot. When J roared hard, Jiang Yang had already completed a 180-degree turn in the air, and then in the surprised eyes of the audience, he put the ball on the back of his head, and directly smashed the basketball into the basket with a reflexive dunk!
"Jiang! Ocean! 180 degree turn and buckle! Looking at Jiang Yang's movements, the audience and DJ at the scene were crazy, and the players sitting on the bench also stood up and waved their fists hard.
Since you can't swing a towel, there's nothing wrong with the substitutes waving their fists! And Jiang Yang, who fell, also nodded, and then put his hands next to his ears, and instantly the ball in the audience burst into deafening cheers! Pierce looked at Jiang Yang, who was standing under the basket arrogantly waving his arms, and couldn't help but have some illusions.
I still remember the first time I saw Jiang Yang, this guy was just an ordinary little boy.
Some shy, some overwhelmed, when he knew that he was Paul Pierce, this little boy would even be shy to ask himself for an autograph! And in his first year, the contract he signed was just a contract of hundreds of thousands without guarantees.
But what about now? Look at Jiang Yang again, he has grown into an existence that can be compared with himself, or even better than himself, domineering dunks, three-pointers, passing, defense, omnipotent, omnipotent! It's always scary.
In a year's time, the once small little bit has become a giant at this time, powerful and outrageous!
In an instant, Pierce had a feeling of time travel, as if he had returned to the time when he first met Jiang Yang's dog, and slowly, that Jiang Yang and the current Jiang Yang merged together, this is the real Jiang Yang, a flesh-and-blood Jiang Yang.
In the next game, in fact, the Celtics had no chance, and Glenn Davis, who replaced Oni and resigned from the game, caused a foul on Andrea Banyani, and made two free throws, but then Jiang Yang passed on Sonny Sheng's surname, and the latter hit a shot.
Then he caused a foul on Lei Yi Allen on the inside, two free throws and two hits, Pierce's three points did not score, Lei Yi Allen's three points were blocked by Jiang Yang, and the game was officially over...... At full-time, 108-101, the Raptors took the final victory.
Jiang Yang had four points, 47 rebounds, 12 assists, 9 blocks, and 3 steals, such a result has made the Celtics not know what to say.
But who can stop him? No one! Jiang Yang has scored more than 40 points in five consecutive games, and the flying thief is showing his strong offensive ability to the world, don't forget, Jiang Yang scored 47 points in this game, he only played 31 minutes, he didn't play in the first 7 minutes of the last quarter, and he didn't play in the first 4 minutes of the second quarter.
In 31 minutes, 47 points were scored, and no one doubted that if he had played full, he would have been able to score 60+, because he proved it! Didn't want to see a team end up losing to one guy again, but it was just the regular season, wasn't it?
"We didn't play as well as we should, we should play defensively, these teams we play with have a very high offensive standard, we know they have the ability, even though they are not very strong on paper, except for Jiang, but they still have a lot of talented players, there are too many talented players in this league, and you have to respect them!" This is what Garnett said after the game, but how he looked at it, it also showed some unwillingness.
"I know we're better than the last two teams, I think that's the case, but tonight my old brother taught us not to use the line-up, haha! It's all mental, and I don't think we're in the right frame of mind to deal with the Raptors, because it's all games we deserve to win. It's just that there is such a variable! Paul Pierce also felt helpless about Jiang Yang's performance after the game, they really deserved to win this game, but it was ruined in Jiang Yang's hands.
"I think in the end Ray (Allen's) ball was fouled (the ball that was blocked by Jiang Yang), it's obvious, but listen, you should know that they're going to come and grab the ball, they're going to block, they're going to come and fight for the ball, so you have to keep the ball!" That's what Doug Rivers said after the game, and compared to the Celtics, they weren't convinced.
The Raptors are very happy, and they don't mind saying that their team is Jiang Yang's team now, because it's true.
Even Banyani, who originally minded, was honest at this time, he knew that he had offended Jiang Yang, and the situation of leaving here had been largely decided, and his only problem now was to show his worth before leaving.
Like this game, he played well! got 21 points in the game, can shoot, and has a high shooting rate, and can average 20+ big men per game, there is no shortage of ways out in the league, especially if he is still a champion, although it is relatively watery.
The newcomer Mark Gasol got a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds today, and his performance was also decent, but it was precisely because of his later position and containment on the court that the opponent did not do his best to cover himself.
In addition, Sony and Wei Yansi also scored 11 points, Leandro and Barbossa scored 12 points, the Raptors team of five scored double-doubles, and the Celtics also scored five double-doubles, Kevin and Garnett scored 12 points, Nate and Robinson 22 points, Paul and Pierce 19 points, Ray and Allen 19 points, Glen and Davis 12 points, compared to the Raptors, they lack a major offensive point, and Nate and Robinson are obviously not that offensive point, It is important that Ray and Allen and Pierce are not fully opened.
