From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 123 The first battle in the Eastern Conference, the disdain of the garbage brothers.

On the evening of December 12th, after the news was broadcast, many Chinese who did not pay attention to sports knew that Jianghu scored 4 points and triple-doubles and was published in Time Magazine.Whether it is a rookie scoring 61+ or ​​a 60+ triple-double, or being on the main page of "Time Magazine", it is the first time in history, and it is done by his own compatriots. How can it not attract attention?
Jianghu's agent's phone number was quickly exploded, and countless calls were made to Schwartz, either for advertising endorsements, or inviting Jianghu to shoot variety shows and movies during the off-season.

The golden voice, yes, it is the company that fooled Ronaldo into the commercial, and directly said that it was an endorsement fee of 2 million yuan, which scared Schwartz into a daze.

Are all Chinese companies so crazy?
Schwartz only knows that Jianghu has a huge influence in China, but he doesn't know how exaggerated it is.

But Jianghu knew that as long as he was willing to accept domestic advertisements, he could accept as many advertisements as he wanted, and there was simply no end to them.

But now he cherishes his feathers very much, and temporarily ignores other international big names, so he didn't accept these messy endorsements.

Jianghu's image is so good, Mango Channel's "Happy Camp" and Blue Channel's "Run, Brother" both want Jianghu to record a program in the past and present their first variety show.

For this reason, the programs of the two TV stations even offered 1500 million RMB to record a program.

In one day, 1500 million RMB, Jiang Hu couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, the money in the entertainment industry is too easy to make.

Jiang Hu didn't rush to refuse, but he didn't agree either.

Now that the season is in progress, the NBA is his main battlefield. All his interests are tied to his performance in the NBA. If he plays well in the game and has good statistics and many honors, his money scene will become more and more extensive. in a hurry.

In fact, Jianghu has become an international superstar, and he can be regarded as becoming famous quickly.

If you want to choose who is a super sports superstar who can represent Asia, many people will choose Jianghu now.

Don't look at him as a rookie who just joined the NBA, and he has not yet won the NBA championship and important personal honors, but he has an amazing influence in Asia.

As a Chinese, he went to the United States alone to enter the NBA, and relied on his strength to gain a foothold in a sports league with serious racial discrimination, breaking historical records.

He is facing a group of people representing a race by one person, and he keeps creating miracles, which is not comparable to the Asian world champions of other unpopular sports.

Sun Xingmin of Bangziguo also played well in the Premier League, but his performance is at most a pass, and his performance is considered excellent, which is far from the word dominance.

The physical fitness of the yellow race is recognized as the weakest among all people, not as good as blacks and whites.This is one reason why Asians are discriminated against in Europe and the United States, not strong enough.Even if Bruce Lee let Europeans and Americans know Chinese Kung Fu, he was just an actor and had no actual combat achievements.

The rivers and lakes are different, he really makes people see, he has super fast speed and super explosive power, almost playing a dominant performance on the basketball court.

This is not making a movie, nor is it a novel, this is one of the most confrontational sports, the strongest basketball league in the world.

His physical fitness can compete with any black in this top league, and his basketball skills make him more attractive to watch than those reckless men who can only play with brute force.

Not to mention that viewing is not important, this is impossible, the waltz-like graceful footsteps and the staggering crab steps cannot give the same impression.

Legendary superstars in history, superstars who can be liked by most fans, few of them play badly, such as Jordan, Kobe and Curry.

The only exception is James. Although his shooting moves are ugly, his physical fitness is too explosive, which allows him to send many incredible dunks and blocks, which can still bring a lot of popularity.

There are also some superstars whose hard power is relatively average, but they can still rank among the superstars in terms of popularity with their explosive dunks or beautiful shots. For example, Vince Carter, whose hard power has never been in the top five in the league, has repeatedly Become the All-Star vote king.

The video of Jianghu's interview in Time Magazine about kicking Jordan off the throne was also broadcast. Some fans in China thought he was arrogant, but most fans in the United States thought he had a lot of personality and were not disgusted.

Iverson also once said: "On the court, I don't need to respect anyone, including Jordan."

Few people think that Jianghu is arrogant. Americans appreciate this kind of self-confidence, even if it is brainless self-confidence, it is more appreciated than submissiveness.

And the fans feel that what Jianghu said may become a fact. Why dare not challenge Jordan when he won the first 60+ triple-double in history in his rookie season and broke Chamberlain's record.

Even he dare not challenge Jordan, who else has hope to challenge Jordan?
....................................

On the evening of December 12th, Jianghu, who appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, led the Celtics against the Raptors at home.

The Raptors' record is currently 17 wins and 5 losses, only one game more than the Celtics who lost 19 wins and 4 losses. They are the biggest competitor of the Celtics in the regular season in the East.

If there is no Jianghu, the Raptors will be ranked No. [-] in the Eastern Conference for a long time this season, and then they will be swept by James in the Eastern Conference semifinals in the playoffs. The combination of "garbage brothers" who have just won the best coach of the season has since dissipated in the Jianghu .

In the locker room of the visiting team, DeRozan and Lowry, the "garbage brothers" combination, are discussing the recent popular arena in the United States in full swing.

DeRozan sighed and said:

"Where the hell did this guy come from, I didn't even hear his name before the draft, he just popped out of nowhere like a rock and wrecked the world."

Lowry's face was full of disdain: "Che, I'm afraid of what he will do. This is a team sport. After Kyrie is missing, I think we may be stronger in terms of real combat effectiveness."

"As long as we go all out to kill him, we can step on him to the top of the Eastern Conference, which is really meaningful."

Lowry is full of confidence, and they are not afraid of the Celtics at all.

In fact, the Raptors' lineup is not afraid of the Celtics, and each of them is quite tall.

Center Jonas Valanciunas, power forward Serge Ibaka, small forward OG Anunoby, shooting guard DeRozan, point guard Kyle Lowry, each position The Celtics are not at a disadvantage.

Even Anunobi's physical fitness is one of the few players who can put pressure on the world one-on-one.

He is 203cm tall, has a wingspan of 220cm, and weighs 106Kg. The draft template is Leonard, who is in the same class as Jianghu, and was the 2017rd overall pick in 23.

If Jianghu is the rookie with the best offensive performance since the start of the game, then Anunoby is the best defensive gate this year.

He has played against Paul George, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Jimmy Butler and a large number of well-known small forwards in the league, and he has successfully reduced their offensive efficiency.

Among them, the worst guarded by him was Paul George, who was traded to the Oklahoma team this season. He made 16 of 6 shots and made 5 turnovers at the same time.

After the game, in order to regain face, Paul George also praised Anunobi severely:
"He is really not simple. His body and defensive awareness are quite good. He makes me feel like me or Leonard who just entered the league. I think he will be a frequent visitor to the future defensive lineup."

It can be seen that Anunobi's defensive ability is indeed leveraged.

However, Jiang Hu will not be afraid. On both ends of the offense and defense, the person in charge of the offense will always have the initiative, and there will be more changes. Compared with the defender, the defender is still more passive.

The game started on time at 8 pm, the Raptors started regularly, and the Celtics ushered in Kyrie Irving's comeback.

Raptors starting lineup: Lowry, DeRozan, Anunoby, Ibaka, Valanciunas.

Celtics starting lineup: Irving, Brown, Jianghu, Morris Jr., Horford.

"Didn't you say that Carey won't fight today?"

Seeing Kyrie in the starting lineup, DeRozan was also a little surprised.

After seeing the Celtics' starting lineup, Lowry became more confident and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Kyrie's full comeback may not necessarily have a tacit understanding. Look at it. Today, Kyrie's comeback will make them even harder to play. "

Lowry's idea is right. Over the past period of time, they have become accustomed to Smart's starting style of play with Jianghu as the core. Owen's sudden return really made everyone a little uncomfortable.

Jianghu doesn't matter, he played without the ball most of the time at the beginning of the season, so he didn't show any discomfort with Irving's return.

On the contrary, it was Morris Jr., when Irving was there at the beginning of the season, he was recuperating from his injuries. He came back after Irving was injured, and the two only started playing together today.

凯尔特人的开局打的很糟糕，欧文上来4分钟面对洛瑞连打4铁，4投0中的同时还送出了两次失误，凯尔特人上来就以3比18落后。

Lowry's defensive ability is not limited. His muscles are very strong, and his thighs are as thick as a pillar. His core strength is definitely the best among defenders.

Owen has just returned from an injury and is still adapting to the defensive intensity on the field. His feet also need to adapt to the rhythm of the game in order to be able to exert force like before the injury.

This also caused his dribbling and combining movements to be unsmooth at all.
The Raptors are mainly anti-customers. Facing Brown, who is not much taller than him, DeRozan made consecutive mid-range shots. Lowry broke through Irving and hit the basket for throws or passed to Valanciunas. Layup.

Although the cooperation between teammates could feel a bit jerky, Jianghu did not take over the ball.

The long 82 regular season games are used for trial and error. Only the playoffs are the real battlefield, where is the stage to compete for the highest honor.

The top teams in the East and West, and all the teams aspiring to compete for the championship, the goal of the regular season is to gain an advantage in the playoffs.

Winning is for the home court advantage, and running-in on the field is for the advantage of tacit understanding.

Therefore, Jianghu can't stand up and take care of everything. Although that can significantly improve the regular season record, it also limits the upper limit of the entire team.

Just imagine, if Jianghu is in a team with him as the absolute core, let him fully hold the ball, what will he look like?
A LeBron, or Doncic-style big ball-handling core, the statistics will be very good, but the record is destined not to be too good. If the playoffs are targeted, either pinch the rivers and lakes and release teammates, or pinch teammates and release the rivers and lakes. Get good results.

What Jianghu prefers is to integrate into the team system and play, and wait until the system doesn't work, and then come out to take over the game.

Jordan and Kobe are also in this mode. Kobe is willing to let Gasol control the ball more, and Jordan is also willing to let Pippen control the ball more.

This is why they get stronger as they get to the critical moment, and it is easier to win games at their peak.

Teammates often touch the ball, they will have a better touch, and they can also provide more help to Jianghu.

LeBron and Doncic are another model. They are the center of the entire system, and almost all offenses on the team revolve around them.

Being such a core will certainly have good statistics and great influence on the court, but if other teammates’ offensive methods are only catching and jumping, it is easy to gradually lose their personal offensive ability, and the decline in statistics will become CBA. player.

Sometimes whether a player's data is good or not has little to do with personal ability and more to do with the system.

If you let Jordan play Westbrook's style of play, he can also average a triple-double, because he tried to make a triple-double...

职业生涯期间，迈克尔-乔丹15年下来一共只有28次三双。但在1988-89赛季，乔丹曾在11场比赛中得到10次三双，其中包括连续7场三双。

Even Westbrook, who averaged a triple-double this season, did not break this record.

If you say that Jordan can't average a triple-double in the season, Jianghu will never believe it, but Coach Zen has never advocated this kind of all-inclusive play, and Jordan himself is not in his strongest state by playing like this.

Jianghu is the same, in the two modes, he is more willing to choose Jordan's style of play that is usually quiet and stands up to kill at critical moments.

The game continued on the court, and Irving's touch finally recovered, and he made two consecutive mid-range shots.

The score on the field is still behind, the Celtics are 9 to 26, and they played 7 minutes in the opening game. The Raptors' offensive efficiency is also extremely good.

德罗赞4投4中拿到9分，洛瑞3中3得到8分，伊巴卡外线也投中两颗三分球拿到6分。

Irving's comeback affects not only the team's offense, but also his defense is not as good as Smart's, requiring more help from his teammates.

In the past period of time, Irving was not there. Everyone was used to defending their opponents by themselves, and there was no tacit understanding of supplementary defense at all.

At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics trailed the Raptors 19 to 33.

德罗赞8投6中，单节获得14分2篮板1助攻，洛瑞4投4中，拿到9分2篮板5助攻。

江湖2投1中，获得2分5篮板3助攻。

欧文9投3中拿到7分2篮板3助攻3失误。

At the end of the first quarter, DeRozan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lowry: "Doesn't Jiang seem to be very strong? I didn't feel that he could score 60 points. You said he was Wasn't it luck that got 60 points?"

Lori looked in the direction of Jianghu and shook his head:
"No, it's impossible to rely on luck alone. There is also the tactical arrangement of Coach Stevens. The opponent is not strong. It is a more important reason. He scored 3+ 50 times, once for the Hornets, once for the Suns, and once for the Lakers. No team is in the top eight in the East and West."

DeRozan nodded in agreement, and then continued to ask: "How about playing Cleveland in the opening game? They are fifth in the Eastern Conference. Don't forget, they have LeBron's team."

Lowry curled his lips in disdain: "Hehe, does Cleveland have defense this season? Their defensive efficiency is even worse than the Lakers. If it wasn't for LeBron, this team would definitely be aiming for the No. [-] pick. "

DeRozan suddenly realized: "What you said seems to make sense. From this point of view, his data is quite watery."

Then his eyes were full of hope:
"Then in this game, we will take advantage of their illness to kill them and kill them to death."
