From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 108 28 points in a single quarter, who dares to cross the knife immediately
Celtics 24:15 Hornets.

Jianghu scored 19 points in a single quarter.

The Hornets continued to attack, and Monk got a good opportunity for an air cut to the basket. He used a backhand drawbar layup and hit the ball, 24 to 17.

Jiang Hu didn't get a good chance this time, Batum was panting tiredly in order to defend him, his forehead was densely covered with beads of sweat.

"Are you tired?" Jiang Hu asked him with a teasing smile.

"..."

Batum didn't answer, but gave Jiang Hu a slightly irritated look.

Without words, Batum's expression actually said it all.For a person whose physical condition is not up to the rivers and lakes, he is just so difficult and irritating.

Moreover, the offensive side is the active side. He knows what he is going to do and how much physical strength to allocate. It is different for the passive defensive side, especially the Jianghu type. If you are not paying attention, he will immediately run to the basket Dunk man.

Jianghu rushed to the middle distance to catch the ball again, and Batum followed with a huff and panting.

The rivers and lakes broke through, and Batum retreated.

Jianghu immediately pulled back his hips and hit a mid-range jumper again.

Celtics 26:17 Hornets.

Zhang Weiping smiled and said, "It's amazing, Yu Jia, what did you just say?"

Yu Jia looked blank: "What did I say?"

张卫平：“你说小江今天可能一球不丢，是不是有这话？他现在已经8投8中，罚球3投3中拿到21分了。”

Yu Jia: "Yes, the possibility is very high, we can try to look forward to it."

The Hornets attacked, and it was Monk again, who broke through with the ball on the right, and then stepped back and made a direct three-pointer. 26 to 20.

Zhang Weiping said: "Hey, the Hornets are amazing. Malik Monk, from the University of Kentucky, was the 11th pick in the same class as Jianghu. Seeing Jianghu's soaring points, he said I would try it too, and now he also made 3 shots. Got 3 out of 7."

The camera showed Jordan, the haze on his face finally dissipated, and he applauded in relief.

Yu Jia said: "It can be seen that Jordan has high hopes for Monk. Seeing his performance, Jordan in the box is very pleased."

In the following time, Jianghu did not attack with the ball, but hid in the bottom corner to open up space for Irving.

Irving did not live up to expectations. He rushed to the basket twice, scored a direct layup once, and once caused Kaminsky's foul to go to the free throw line and made 2 free throws.

The Hornets made a mid-range shot from Monk, but he missed the next shot and only scored 2 points.

Celtics 30 to 22 Hornets, the game entered the last 1 minute and 25 seconds of the first quarter.

Jianghu continued to hold the ball and launch an attack.

Logically speaking, his physical fitness should be a little tired after playing for 10 minutes in a row, but today is different. The excellent hand feeling is matched with the excited state, and his personal feeling is very good.

This time, Jianghu dribbled to the high position on the left side. After hitting Batum continuously, he came below the free throw line. Monk on the right side wanted to double-team.

Still, Jianghu feels so hot today that it explodes. 32 to 22.

Yu Jia said loudly: "Oh! Jianghu, another CIC has entered."

"Batum succeeded in low-post singles. His touch is too hot. Today, he has scored 23 points, 9 of 9 shots, 3 of 3 free throws, and he hasn't even missed a free throw since the start."

Yu Jia said: "His performance so far is quite incredible. I suspect that his goal is not the best rookie at all, but to become the scoring leader in his rookie season. His performance reminds me of Michael Jordan in his rookie period, either Double-team, or watch him go in."

Zhang Weiping said: "Indeed, Xiao Jiang's style of play is quite flexible and changeable. Compared with April this year, it has reached a new level. You can't guess what he will do next. He can catch the ball and jump shot, and Can play singles with the ball, I think the offensive kaleidoscope is not enough, the small kaleidoscope is more than enough."

Yu Jia nodded and said: "Yes, and the most important point is that he really resisted a team. He scored when the team needed him, not just scoring points."

Fortunately, Jianghu couldn't hear Yu Jia's words at the scene, otherwise he might really laugh out loud.

Brother, I'm blatantly scoring points, but my hand feels very good, there's no way...

The Hornets speeded up, and Monk hit the basket again, but this time his layup was hit by Baynes.

After all, not everyone has the physical fitness of Jianghu. It's normal to eat hot pot.

Jianghu stood on the baseline on the right side with his hips crossed, Smart controlled the ball, and in the last 8 seconds of the attack time, Jianghu walked in to catch the ball.

Facing Batum at the top of the arc, Jianghu broke through with the ball.

One step past the exhausted Batum, facing Kaminsky, he didn't even defend. With two fouls on his back, he didn't dare to move.

Jianghu was too lazy to dunk, but put the ball gently on the basket with an easy layup.

Batum, an old guy, didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly rushed from behind and gave Jianghu a big hat.

Jianghu was shocked, but the referee blew his whistle, indicating that the ball hit the backboard first, and Batum interfered with the ball.

Celtics 34:22 Hornets.

"Insidious, you are insidious!!"

Jianghu couldn't help but complain to Batum.

"I'm getting older, I can't compare with you guys, I have to use my brain to play."

Batum put his hips on his hips and smiled slightly, responding to Jiang Hu's rhetoric.

"It's a pity that it still didn't succeed, you little guy fought well!!"

Hearing the words, Jiang Hu patted his butt heavily, and then continued to return to the frontcourt to defend.

When he came to the frontcourt, he simply didn't bother to pay attention to Batum, but ignored him and went directly to double-team Munch.

Monk played single-handedly for a long time, but suddenly he was double-teamed with a dazed look on his face, and Jiang Hu quickly snatched the ball from his hands.

In the last 22 seconds, the Celtics attacked.

Jianghu gave the ball to Smart, let him dribble first, and then came to the low position.

This time the defensive Monk also learned badly, and kept waving his hands to prevent Smart from passing the ball. At the same time, the guy McAway also double-teamed.

The siege of the two caused Smart to lose control of the ball and eventually fell to the ground, forming a scrimmage between Smart and Monk.

Smart is not as tall as Munch, but his confrontation and jumping are not bad. He flew the basketball high in the air, and the basketball flew back to the backcourt.

Jianghu also immediately chased after him.

Smart was very active. He flew over and lay down on the ground to save the ball.

Jianghu immediately reached out for the ball, and Smart passed the ball and arrived.

Jianghu didn't pay attention, after this toss, only the last 3 seconds were left.

"No time, cast!!"

Jianghu didn't react until Smart yelled, and looked up at the timer.

With 1.5 seconds left in the attack time, he was still about 1.5 meters away from the three-point line.

He didn't have time to move forward, but stood still and aimed at the basket, regardless of whether he could get in or not, as long as he could throw it within the range of the basket, he would be fine.

He pushed forward vigorously with both hands, and the basketball hit the backboard like a cannonball.

"state."

At the same time as the red light came on when the time was up, the basketball smashed into the net in the white circle.

Yu Jia: "Oh, Xiao Jiang, hit a three-pointer at the buzzer!!"

"A super long three-pointer, although there is a certain element of luck, but it is scored, and luck is also part of the strength of the team. As long as you can score, you are a hero!!"

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "The 28th point in a single quarter is still a 100% hit rate. Really, who dares to do anything right away, but I, General Jiang!!"

Celtics 37 to 22 Hornets.

Yu Jia said: "Xiaojiang staged the most perfect personal performance in the history of the Celtics today. He scored 28 points in a single quarter, made 11 of 11 shots, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. It was a pretty perfect performance.”

In the first half of the second quarter, Jianghu sat off the court to rest, and Irving led the team on the court.

Kemba Walker was also replaced by Clifford, and the two core defenders staged a duel.

However, the two are not so much fighting against each other this time, they are actually fighting against each other. Neither Walker nor Irving shot a satisfactory shooting percentage. Those who knew thought it was a game with high defensive intensity.

Soon, the Hornets showed their power against Monk. He first made a three-pointer from the outside, and then rushed to the inside to send Howard alley-oops.

Howard was able to go back to the past, smashing the basket twice and dunking hard, closing the point difference.

Although the point difference is widening, Stevens is not in a hurry to get Jianghu back. Normally, the second quarter is his time, but in the first quarter he played the whole quarter. Stevens felt that he Adequate rest periods are required.

Jianghu himself is not tired at all, but he has to accept the concern from the head coach.

After 7 minutes in the second quarter, Jianghu finally returned to the edge.

Clifford couldn't keep up with the speed of the young man. After Stevens replaced Jianghu, he let the substitute Jeremy Lamb continue to defend Jianghu.

This is a huge tactical matchup error. Although Lamb can reach the forward position, he is not as good as Jianghu in terms of speed or size. One completed an easy layup and one caused Howard's foul.

Although three fouls, Clifford did not dare to replace Howard.

He is already the best inside defender of the Hornets. After he goes down, the Hornets' inside protection will be even more finished.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Hornets suddenly performed a miraculous performance.

The player Michael Carter-Williams, who was emptied from the mid-range by the Celtics team, made two consecutive three-pointers like a god.

Then the Celtics' defense expanded, and he took the opportunity to pass his defender in one step, went inside and scored 2+1 against Horford's defense.

There is no doubt that McAway, who scored consecutively, ignited the Hornets' home court.

At halftime, the Celtics beat the Hornets 65 to 55.

If it weren't for McAway's consecutive scoring, the Celtics' lead would have been close to 20 points.

半场结束，江湖13投13中，三分球2中2，罚球4罚4中，砍下了32分6篮板3助攻的神奇表现。

Zhang Weiping analyzed the game at halftime and said: "The biggest question in this game today is definitely not the outcome of the two teams. It can be clearly seen from the field that the Celtics are the ones who are more integrated on both offensive and defensive ends. sex team."

"We pay more attention to how many points Jianghu can score. After halftime, he shot 100% and scored 32 points, right. If the Hornets adopt the same defensive method in the second half, he will definitely be able to play so easily. Maybe he can score this year's rookie. The first game of 50+."

Yu Jia said: "No one in the history of the Celtics can score 50 points in their rookie season. Even if they are as strong as Bird, the highest in their rookie season is only 48 points."

"Now there is an opportunity to create history in front of Jiang Hu, and it depends on whether he can grasp it."

The Hornets players didn't want Jianghu to continue to kill in the second half, and they also discussed how to defend Jianghu in the locker room during the intermission.

Howard said to Batum: "Or pinch him to break through in the second half and let him go outside. After he came in, he was too lethal. The damn referee didn't allow a higher intensity confrontation. I might soon Four offenders."

Batum rolled his eyes and said nothing.

Head coach Clifford stood up and said, "Marvin, why don't you try again, I think you still defended well in certain periods of the preseason."

Marvin Williams shook his head firmly and said: "Coach, I can't, my height is not right, his height and wingspan, I can't block his shots."

Clifford was slightly disappointed, and looked at McAway again.

McAway also shook his head firmly: "Coach, you know that my knee has been seriously injured, and I can't defend him at all."

Clifford sighed in disappointment: "Are we really going to double-team? Owen, Al, Rozier, and Jaylen are all players who are very good at seizing opportunities. I don't think double-teaming is very effective."

Clifford turned around helplessly and patted Batum on the shoulder: "Forget it, Nicholas, you can continue to defend Jiang in the second half. I will allow you to take some of his shots and don't let him go to the basket."

"Others, I'll allow you to do some help and double-team after he drives to the free throw line."

"If he kills us, we will admit it, but we must not be killed by his breakthrough."

"Got it, everyone."

"clear!!"

The game continued in the second half, and the Celtics' arrangement was very simple, that is, to continue to focus on the rivers and lakes.

Owen passed the ball to Jianghu after halftime, and Jianghu took the ball from outside the three-point line. Seeing that Batum's defensive position was closing, he directly shot another three-pointer from a distance of one meter outside the three-point line.

Even in the small ball era, shots from this distance are rare, and those who can often shoot like this, except for Curry, Lillard and James are left, and the three of them can barely maintain a certain shooting percentage.

Others who took such a shot would probably be replaced by the head coach immediately and scolded.

After all, even the Houston Rockets with the ultimate magic ball style are pursuing three-pointers on the three-point line and the basket, not this kind of ultra-long three-pointers.

But the hand feeling is such a magical thing. When your hand is smooth, it is basically smooth.

The basketball passed through the net without any shaking.

Celtics 68 to 55 Hornets.

If it wasn't for Howard at the basket who ran to serve the ball immediately, everyone would have thought the ball was a non-stick game.

"Good SHot!!"

"Nice!!"

Irving and Brown high-fived Jianghu one after another, celebrating this wonderful ultra-long three-pointer.
