From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 114 The Fleeting November
After the game against the Spurs, the Celtics rushed to Dallas non-stop.

They will challenge the Spurs and Dallas Mavericks back to back in Texas.

11 month 4 day.

In the game against the Lone Ranger, the Celtics scored a super high score of 147 to 133.

The Lone Ranger, who is aiming to win the lottery, played with super high efficiency in the first three quarters. The team shot 56% from the field and 52% from the three-point range, scoring 109 points.

The Celtics did not give up much, the team shot 52% of the shots, but the end of the three quarters had just broken 9, and they were [-] points behind and entered the final quarter.

With 8 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the Lone Ranger still led by 118 points 113 to 5.

Then Lone Ranger head coach Carlisle started his supernatural operation. In order to successfully obtain the high draft pick, he took the initiative to replace Matthews, who scored 8 three-pointers with the best performance in the game. On Barea and Ferrer, two short lineups with a height of less than 185cm.

The frontcourt was put on again, Barnes, Powell, Nowitzki's short lineup.

The attitude of the Lone Ranger is obvious. In the first three quarters, I will accompany you to play hard, and in the fourth quarter, I will start to focus on my own bad plan.

Everyone knows their love for the Eastern European Slovenian genius Doncic, and Ayton and his like can't arouse their interest at all. The entire Mavericks team management has only one idea: do everything they can to win Doncic.

After Carlisle showed his magic skills, the Celtics immediately accepted the order. The Mavericks have no record pressure, they have. The team's goal this season is to break out of the Eastern Conference, so it is necessary to get a higher ranking in the regular season .

In the 8 minutes after the timeout, facing the short and slow lineup of the Lone Ranger, the Celtics blasted a 34:15 offensive climax.

Jianghu doesn't know what Jianghu reasoning is. When he faced Nowitzki in a misplaced position, he used his signature stunt "Golden Rooster Independence" in front of him three times in a row and hit a jumper.

Conversely, in the face of the loose defense in Jianghu, the old Nowitzki also resorted to the golden rooster independence, but he only hit 3 of 1 shots, and even had a three-point shot.

Nowitzki is indeed old. When he was young, he was still very accurate until the final quarter, but now he can make three non-stick operations.

Nowitzki himself was also amused, and looked at his hands in front of the camera with a puzzled expression, as if to say: "What's wrong with you, my old man?"

The audience in Dallas laughed happily. They didn't laugh at it, but wanted to bid farewell to this legend in team history that they respected in a less sad way.

At the end of the game, both sides took what they needed, and each got the result they wanted, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Jianghu scored 35 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

At the age of 19 years and 52 days, he surpassed LeBron James, became the youngest player in history to obtain a triple-double, and once again received three advanced attribute experience cards.

James felt a little chest tight when he saw the news.

"...You can't catch a sheep even if you squeeze the wool..."

On November 11, the entire Boston Celtics team came to Detroit to challenge the Pistons away.

The Celtics played the first overtime game of the season.

Although the Pistons' configuration is not very high, they played very hard in this game.

球队老大德拉蒙德首当其冲，第一节就拿下了8分10篮板的数据，半场拿到15分15篮板帮助活塞队57比56领先凯尔特人队。

In the second half, Reggie Jackson, who was on the Pistons' bench, suddenly turned against him. Within 2 minutes, he hit consecutive three-pointers and two-plus-ones like a convulsion, and assisted Kennard to make a three-pointer, leading the Pistons to a wave of 15. A climax of 2 to 72 led the Pistons to lead the Celtics by 58 points 14 to [-].

After the game came back, Jianghu began to counterattack. He first made a three-pointer against Tobias Harris' defense, then intercepted Reggie's pass to Drummond, counterattacked and hit a layup.

Then he broke through to attract a defensive pass to Irving, and Irving hit a three-pointer, chasing the point difference to 72:66.

In the next round, he emptied Harris, who made 5 of 1 shots from beyond the three-point line in this game, and recovered to the basket to block Drummond's layup.

Irving made a fast break with the ball and gave it to Rozier on the right. Rozier opened his hand for a three-pointer, and he raised the knife and dropped it, 72 to 69.

Looking back, the Pistons requested a timeout.

Came back from a timeout and played a hammer tactic. Kennard caught the ball from the left corner and made a jumper and hit a three-pointer.

The Celtics failed to overtake, and the two sides entered a tug-of-war, leading back and forth alternately.

The Pistons have a pretty good touch, shooting a pretty scary three-pointer.

On the Celtics side, Drummond couldn't prevent the breakthroughs of Jianghu and Irving at all.

In the last 29 seconds of the game, the Celtics led by 3 points.

After the Pistons paused, the three-point tactic failed. Neither Reggie Jackson nor Kennard got a good three-point opportunity, and finally Drummond made a three-pointer.

Drummond missed a three-pointer, Jianghu thought the game was over, everyone thought the game was over, and even the Pistons fans were ready to leave.

The referee said no, and he gave Horford a shooting foul.

Everyone was stunned. Although Horford touched Drummond's wrist after Drummond's shot, at this moment, the referee usually would not give a foul, but he still gave... …

What is even more amazing is that Drummond, who made 53% of his free throws this season, actually made all three free throws.

In this case, there is no reason not to add time.

Sure enough, after the Celtics timed out, Irving pressed to the last second and successfully hit the iron in the middle distance, and the two teams entered overtime.

In overtime, the Celtics did not continue to waste opportunities. Jianghu first broke through and scored 2+1, and caused Drummond's sixth foul, and then blocked Kennard's three-pointer.

After Drummond, who grabbed 26 rebounds, left the field, the Pistons' inside line could no longer be prestige.

Then Jianghu's mid-range back hit was double-teamed by the Pistons. He used a pass behind the head without looking at people and sent the ball to Smart in the bottom corner.

Smart's iron tree blossomed and hit a three-pointer.

108 to 102, 2 minutes of overtime, the Celtics had an absolute advantage.

At the end of the game, the Celtics firmly controlled the situation and finally won the game 113-107.

On November 11th, Nike's official website released the design drawings of Jianghu's 6-point commemorative sneakers and Jianghu's first-generation sneakers. This is a low-top sneaker similar to the AJ51. Colors such as "Chinese Red" and "Blue and White Porcelain" that are exclusive to China.

In China, Nike's official website first tried the sneaker reservation model.

The price is 999 yuan, and it will be officially released on December 12.

Nike is very good at playing. Once the coupon is sold, it cannot be returned or exchanged, nor can it be used as a discount for other products.

Even with such harsh usage conditions, 11 coupons were sold on the first day of its launch on November 6, and another 79 were sold on the second day.

两天144万张，抵用卷的销量就已经达到了1.4亿人民币，如果144万双球鞋全部按照抵用后的699元都卖出去那就是10亿人民币啊。

What a concept of 10 billion, 1.4 million US dollars.

The money from Jianghu's five-year sneaker contract came back almost instantly.

Nike couldn't close their mouths with laughter. According to their estimates, the total number of reservations reached 7 million within 100 days, and 15 million within 150 days was enough to meet their expectations.

Unexpectedly, in just two days, Chinese fans ordered 144 million pairs, which was beyond their expectations.

The Chinese market is terrifying! !

Although they also know that many of them must be scalpers or shoe dealers, no matter whether they are scalpers or shoe dealers, they still have to pay in the end.

On November 11, the Celtics ushered in the Cleveland Cavaliers again at home.

This is the second time the two sides have played against each other this season, and the situation of the two teams is very different from the opening game.

The Cleveland Cavaliers seem to have lost their defensive ability. In the past 3 games, their defensive efficiency has reached a terrifying 126.5.

In the past few games, they will be scored 120 points by almost any opponent, whether it is the Suns led by Booker or the 76ers led by Embiid, or the Lone Ranger who is bad, they can score high on their heads. point.

Facing such a Cavaliers, the Celtics did not have the slightest sympathy. They just went up and killed the basket and then distributed the ball.

The Cavaliers' defensive strength determines that they will leak a lot of open three-pointers.

In the first quarter alone, Jianghu made 3 three-pointers, and Jaylen Brown and Irving also hit 2 each.

In the first quarter, the Celtics shot 16 of 10 three-pointers, scored 39 points in a single quarter, and took a 39-26 lead in just one quarter.

江湖打满第一节9投6中砍下了15分5篮板2助攻。

In the second quarter of the game, James began to show off his power. It was a super long three-pointer at the top of the arc.

However, his luck soon ran out, and after scoring three consecutive three-pointers, he lost his magic.

Then Rozier and Caruso both broke through the basket to score, and the middle distance of the rivers and lakes fired consecutive shots again, once again chasing James to 5 points and bringing the point difference back to 15 points.

Before halftime, JR Smith made a three-pointer and a mid-range shot, Love assisted James with an alley-oop dunk, and the difference between the two sides returned to 8 points.

At the end of the half, the two sides scored 57 to 65.

Coming back from the second half, Jianghu suddenly launched an attack, and after a breakthrough, Love was dunked.

The poor Lefu collided with Jianghu in the air, lost his balance and fell to the ground, showing a painful expression.

The scene went crazy in an instant, and all the Celtics fans were cheering and screaming crazily, as if they were trying to use their voices to knock down the roof of the North Shore Garden Arena.

Affected by Jianghu's dunk bonus and the audience shouting "Defense", the Celtics are in full swing.

On defense, Jiang Hu once again confronted James and forced him to dribble and walk.

James helplessly frowned at the referee, who patiently explained to him.

Smart jumped up and down excitedly, gesturing wildly at the audience, and the audience was so crazy that they screamed.

The game continued, Smart directly hit the basket with the ball, encountered James' block, Jiang Hu picked up the ball, immediately hit the basket again, and dunked above James' head.

The whole audience stood up, and the DJ shouted Jianghu's name loudly.

It's just that it's a bit strange to hear Jiang Hu's ears...

Because they shouted:
"Jiang~hu."

"Jiang~hu."

The game continued, and James made another mistake in the process of breaking through the basket to pass. This time, Irving stepped forward and intercepted James' pass.

James breaks through from the top of the arc on the left and encounters a shooter who double-teams through the right corner. Irving and James have played this tactic countless times, and it is even more familiar than their own way home.

After Owen made the steal, he quickly rushed from the left to the front court, and Jianghu also quickly went down from the right.

From outside the three-point line, Irving made a false pass, and Jianghu smashed the basket vigorously after receiving the ball.

Jianghu dunked at the basket three times in a row, expanding the score to 14 points and at the same time, driving the Celtics completely crazy at home.

Although James continued to output in the headwind, he was still unable to stop the imposing Celtics in the end, and was finally crushed.

The Celtics maintained their winning streak with a 127-101 home win over the visiting Cavaliers.

江湖全场19投11中砍下32分8篮板5助攻，率领凯尔特人守卫主场。

詹姆斯投篮24投13中，三分球9投5中，砍下39分8篮板9助攻5失误。

On November 11, the Celtics embarked on another road trip, this time they came to the highland Denver Nuggets.

The 14th pick in the second round of 2, Nikola Jokic, the "essence of human pork belly", successfully made a solid start last season and officially became the core of the Nuggets this season.

Under the leadership of "Zhuge Malone", with the growth of Jamal Murray and Gary Harris in the backcourt, this team is continuing to advance towards the top.

Today's Nuggets feel very bad at home. They only hit one of their first 7 shots. On the contrary, the Celtics in the away game are extremely aggressive. They made 6 of 6 shots and missed shots.

13 to 0, the Celtics came up and turned away, and the Denver Plateau home game was extremely quiet.

Zhuge Malone requested a timeout, and after the timeout, Jokic's offense with the ball was arranged.

The squirming pork belly was not gorgeous, dribbling the ball from the three-point line to the free throw line slowly, and then tiptoed to shoot a mid-range jumper with a little back, which was easily hit.

After several consecutive attacks, Horford couldn't limit Jokic.

But fortunately, the Celtics' own offensive still maintained, and they still maintained a 6-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

32 to 26, the two teams began the contest in the second quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, Jianghu was still on the field to lead the team. This time, the surprise players on the Nuggets bench began to emerge suddenly.

Will Barton, a backup guard with the same surname as the five-star general, has the style of a general on the battlefield.

But it's a pity that he met Jianghu with a good touch today.

In the second quarter, Barton shot 6 of 4 three-pointers, while Jianghu on the opposite side shot an outrageous 7 of 7 in a single quarter. The emergence of surprise soldiers not only did not help the score lead, but fell behind .

At halftime, the Celtics beat the Nuggets 63 to 51.

In the third quarter, the Nuggets once narrowed the point difference to 6 points. With Stevens swiping his hand and deploying the five small lineups with Jianghu as the core, the game began to enter the rhythm of the Celtics.

Although this lineup does not have a real center, their strategy of pinching Jokic to force the pass was successful. Harris and Button lost their focus in this quarter and made 7 of 1 shots. Bian still maintained a good shooting percentage, losing first and then winning in a single quarter with a score of 29 to 22 in a single quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics lead 91 to 73.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Nuggets failed to continue to narrow the point difference. In the end, the Celtics defeated the Nuggets 115 to 101 away.

江湖19投10中，砍下27分16篮板3助攻4抢断2封盖，凯尔特人客场再度取胜。
