From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 133 A Difficult Game

Little Morris's roar and the substandard "beautiful" were spread to every corner of the world paying attention to this game through the bottom line camera.

The American fans were stunned, they couldn't understand what Morris Jr. was talking about.

The Chinese fans understood in an instant, their eyes widened, and then ran back to check the progress repeatedly or stared at the replay to confirm the mouth shape, only to be convinced that what Morris just yelled was "awesome"...

All major NBA live broadcast platforms, the barrage instantly went crazy.

"Hahaha yes, Hollywood has Quinding, NBA has little Morris!!"

"Jianghu: I came to the NBA for three things. To teach you how to speak fucking Chinese. To teach you what to say to be awesome. To teach you to say what to say to what to say in fucking Chinese."

"Laughing to death, one who dares to teach, one who dares to learn!!"

"Haha, this wave of cultural output in Jianghu is too awesome, I just want to say to this: Please continue!!"

"Criticize Jianghu shallowly, why don't you teach him the full version?? The full version should be: Damn, awesome!!"

Teacher Zhang Weiping suppressed a smile, and explained in a serious manner: "Little Morris has learned some authentic Chinese slang from Jianghu. This kind of colloquial language is equivalent to slang that only black Americans can understand."

Yu Jia joked plainly:

"Yes, and he should have learned it just now. There are some problems with his pronunciation. Jianghu should correct him."

Zhang Weiping was immediately amused by Yu Jia's cold humor, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, yes, the pronunciation is indeed not very standard, and needs to be further improved."

Yu Jia joked again: "The Chinese audience in front of the TV should remember Jianghu's interesting teammate Little Morris. With his roar, if he can't make it in the NBA in the future, maybe he can come to China to do it." food and clothing."

The two commentators are happily teasing Morris Jr., and the game is still going on.

Only 2 minutes into the fourth quarter, Jianghu assisted Baynes and Morris to score consecutively, leading to a 7-0 spurt.

The score on the field has come to the Pelicans 87 to 95 Celtics.

Gentry decisively requested a timeout.

To be on the safe side, he still replaced Davis and Rondo, and came up with a full starting lineup.

Stevens made adjustments.

"Horford is off the field to rest, Baynes plays center, and Jiang Shang plays Anthony at the 4th position. Smart also plays and spreads out the formation. We must use offense to win. Pay attention to pressing when defending, and make more mistakes by the opponent. There is a chance Just fight back, rush up quickly, and don’t be afraid of making mistakes! In positional warfare, Carey passes the ball to Jiang, and Jiang shoots when he has a chance, and he shoots boldly! You attract double-teams and then divide the ball.”

Stevens began to show his crazy side, took Horford directly, and set up a big and four small lineup of Baynes + Jianghu + Brown + Irving + Smart, reducing the team's inside height and defensive strength. Strengthen the flexibility and flexibility of the defensive end.

He often arranges some novel tactics and dares to try boldly. Some lineups are rarely used in training, but he dares to directly deploy them in the game. Most of his on-the-spot responses are very effective, and occasionally they fail.

Jianghu said to Owen: "Kyrie, pay attention to my running position. In the fourth quarter, I will reduce the three-pointer and focus on mid-range shooting. Pass the ball to me as soon as possible, and I will throw it as soon as I catch it. How are you doing?" Don’t hesitate to take the chance, do it yourself.”

Carey nodded. "Well, you can adjust it a bit, and be careful not to be blocked by Anthony. You can still run very well, but he is not a vegetarian."

When it comes to Davis, almost all guards are a little bit apprehensive. Almost all star guards have eaten his blocks when they played against the Pelicans. Some guards dare not shoot at all when facing Davis.

"Don't worry, I don't think he has better physical strength than me." Jiang Hu smiled slightly, and looked at Baines again. "Aron, go to the basket at any time and prepare to grab offensive rebounds. I will shoot more and pass less."

"Go ahead and vote. Others can come in and grab it. I will definitely trap DeMarcus." Baines is still very confident in his positioning skills.

Listening to the conversation of the three of them, Stevens felt that Jiang Hu was like a real leader.

It is the superstar who leads the team.

Irving also assumed the responsibility of leading the team before. The team lost more and won less, and won the No. [-] pick, so he is not a qualified core.

Stevens is looking forward to Jianghu's next performance. He can see from Jianghu's expression that he is confident, and he is still confident in facing AD's defense.

Back to the game, the Celtics failed to play the smooth offense as expected.

The adjustment of the Pelicans has also come. As soon as Jianghu holds the ball, he will be flanked by Davis and Moore, and Smart is once again emptied on the outside.

Smart this player is a double-edged sword.

His reserved defense on the defensive end has strong physical confrontation and superb acting skills. These things are all helping the team.

But on offense, he's a black hole.

He is the only player in the Celtics who will be left empty on the court. So far this season, he has averaged 4.6 three-pointers per game and hit 1.4. The three-point shooting rate is just 30%. Moreover, most of his shots are taken when he is open. His three-pointers are extremely unstable, and opponents can benefit from him most of the time.

Smart shot confidently and made a three-point shot again.

Davis at the basket pushed away from Jianghu to get a rebound.

Davis would make some small moves when defending the arena, such as pushing people, pulling people and other small moves.

He uses it most frequently when the basket is stuck. The movement is very small, just pull it and release it, or hit it with your butt to make the opponent lose balance for a short time, as long as you can grab the rebound.

When attacking, his falls are also very skillful. He lands with his butt, or chooses to support the ground with his hands and palms. In short, he is not so prone to serious injuries.

Playing against such opponents is also an interesting thing, not just simply playing a game, Jianghu can also learn some things from them, such as how to make better use of one's physical fitness, avoid penalties, and protect Own.

The Pelicans attacked, and Holiday faced Irving's defense and scored a mid-range jumper.

Pelicans 89 to 95 Celtics.

In the next round, Jianghu threw away Davis without the ball, and caught and shot a mid-range jumper, but unfortunately missed.

Rondo broke through with the ball and passed it to Davis. Davis missed the defensive hook facing Jianghu. Rondo rushed to the basket again and took off the offensive rebound on the heads of Baynes and Cousins.

After being brought to the outside line, Rondo shot a three-pointer directly against Smart's defense.

"Shua~" hit a three-pointer.

This is Rondo's fourth three-pointer in the second half, and he made 5 of 4 shots. Returning to the old home court, Rondo seems to have become Curry.

Pelicans 92 to 95 Celtics.

The boos from the North Shore Garden instantly became much shorter.

The Celtics attacked, Irving passed the ball to Brown, and wanted to transfer him to Jianghu, Davis suddenly rushed over and double-teamed with Rondo and stabbed Brown's basketball. Before the basketball goes out of bounds, get the ball first and successfully steal it.

Davis can not only dunk and block shots, but his defense may be at the historical level in the NBA inside, whether it is destroying the running route of players without the ball, or the position prediction and bullet speed when assisting in the defense of the restricted area, rotation He can clean up shooters and break passes with ease.

In the small ball era, he was the most troublesome existence for outside players among all inside players. Compared with him, Draymond Green of the Warriors is not even worthy of lifting shoes.

The Pelicans are attacking, and the Celtics are single-defense in each position. Smart and Holiday wrestle with each other. Baynes resists Cousins. The two have been fighting. Cousins ​​tried to catch the ball several times. They were all out of position by Baynes' pushing action.

He threw his hands at the referee, who simply ignored him.

In the business league, players who offend the referee and the money owner will not be popular in terms of penalties. Cousins ​​belongs to the first type. He often points at the referee's nose and scolds, and takes technical fouls at every turn. The referee can give him a good look. Strange.

After the players passed a few times, they still handed the ball to Davis to single out.This time Davis took the ball in the high position on the right, and Jianghu kept a step away to prevent breakthroughs and shots.

After Davis dribbled the ball under his crotch, he suddenly withdrew to make a mid-range shot, and Jiang Hu stepped forward to give some interference.Davis' shooting power is a bit small, hitting the front of the basket.

Obviously, for a big man of his size, it is not enough to rest for only 2 minutes after playing a full quarter.

Zhang Weiping said: "Jianghu proved today that he is also an offensive and defensive player. He did a very good job defending against Davis today. His offensive efficiency against Jianghu Davis has dropped a lot, and the number of shots has also decreased."

Yu Jia said: "Continue to watch the game. The Celtics gave the ball to Jianghu, and the Pelicans chased for 3 points. This is a critical round. Let's see if Jianghu can narrow the score gap to two rounds."

Irving kept dribbling the ball under the crotch to observe the situation at the top of the arc. Smart made a screen for Jianghu on the right three-point line. Jianghu cut into the middle from the top of the arc and received a pass from Irving.

Davis had no time to chase the ball, and Holiday also failed to change defense in time, but just chased from behind and stretched out his hands to interfere.

Jianghu catches the ball from a high position and shoots directly, with no intention of passing the ball.

His shooting action this time is not particularly textbook-style. In order to pursue the speed of the shooting, he brought some pushing movements into it, but the feel is not bad.

"brush."

The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Pelicans beat the Celtics 92 to 97.

After the goal, Jianghu roared at Morris Jr., and Morris Jr. stretched out his thumb again, and yelled "Awesome" at Jianghu.

The fans of North Shore Garden gave Jianghu warm applause and cheers. He not only scored and assisted the most in this game, but also hit many key goals that opened up the point difference.

Davis wanted to return one more, and also relied on Cousins' cover to catch the ball at mid-range.

The arena is still anti-sudden shooting, and Davis feels that he is not respected. You must know that his mid-range shooting is very accurate.

Confidence in shooting does not mean that you can make shots. Davis in the Pelicans period was quite accurate in mid-range shots. For two years, he even felt like an insider Durant.

But when his physical strength declines, he can't do it. The shooting is not good, either light or heavy. This is a common problem with him and Durant, and his physical strength is not good.

This kind of player cannot play under Thibodeau, and his life will be in danger.

Davis pulled out his hand dryly, and hit the iron again under the interference of Jianghu.

The two big inside Pelicans did not choose to rush for an offensive rebound, but retreated quickly.
Baynes protected the rebound, the Pelicans had all settled, and the Celtics could only fall into position and fight.

The Celtics opened up their battle formations. Except for Baines who stood in the three-second zone, everyone stood outside the three-point line and watched the world single out Davis.

Jiang Hu kept dribbling the ball under the crotch, and suddenly stopped his body, holding the ball with his right hand, and moved towards the ball with his left hand, posing for a shot, but his hands were not close together.

Davis saw that Jianghu was about to shoot, so he tiptoed over to fight.

He was fooled, and Jiang Hu saw his movement and immediately re-played the ball, passing him with one step from the left.

This is the most common "worshiping Buddha" fake move by guards. It is actually a fake shot and a real sudden shot. It means that when you are dribbling, you suddenly make a shooting posture, but it is not a real shot, nor is it a dead ball (be careful not to turn your wrist) , You can also continue to dribble, by tricking the opponent into jumping to prevent your fake moves.

The most important thing about worshiping Buddha is the rhythm and pause. After worshiping Buddha, he can easily get rid of the opponent with a change of direction.
Davis' rhythm was completely disrupted by Jianghu. Jianghu took two steps forward and stepped on the free throw line to make a mid-range shot. When Davis rushed over from the side to block the shot, Jianghu had already shot.

"Shua~" The basketball hit again.

Pelicans 92 to 99 Celtics.

Jianghu scored key goals in a row, and the North Shore Garden Arena was boiling.

Pelicans head coach Gentry requested a timeout. It doesn’t feel like a timeout. It’s hard for the Pelicans to get out of here today.
Yu Jia said: "Jianghu scored two middle distances in a row and led the team to open the score to three rounds. His performance at the critical moment is very trustworthy. Both teammates and coaches are very relieved to give him the ball."

Zhang Weiping smiled and said: "The thick eyebrows are tired. He guarded Xiaojiang for a whole quarter. Xiaojiang was as slippery as a loach. He kept running around in circles with his thick eyebrows. Xiaojiang is light. It's okay to run like this." It’s not easy to be tired now with thick eyebrows following an inside line for a quarter.”

"Let me tell you, it's best for Coach Gentry to let Moore defend against Xiao Jiang. You should just defend alone and let him shoot. We will accept the death shot."

Director Zhang made a small calculation, and the audience in front of the TV knew it clearly, so it was impossible for Gentry to follow suit.

In fact, Gentry has nothing to say about calling a timeout. He mainly thinks that Davis is a little tired, and his consecutive shots hit the front frame, which is obviously a signal that his physical strength is about to collapse.

The fans and commentators in front of the TV can see clearly, and the head coach can also see clearly.

The coach called a timeout and let the leading star take a rest. Sometimes it is also a tactic. Tyronn Lue and Gentry are both masters of this tactic.

After the timeout, with the last 7 minutes left in the game, Thick Eyebrow disappeared from the court, went down to rest temporarily, and was replaced by Darius Miller, who was 198cm tall.

Miller is a standard shooter. This season, he averaged 4.4 three-pointers per game, hit 1.8, and his shooting percentage was 41%.

The Pelicans also played a large and four small lineup, with Cousins ​​at the top of the arc, Holiday, Rondo, and Moore, three of them less than two meters long, plus the 203cm Miller.

Normally, this lineup might be a point-giving lineup, but today is different. Rondo's three-pointer feels hot, and the Celtics dare not continue to let him go.

The game continued, and the Pelicans players pulled away to create singles opportunities for Cousins.

Cousins ​​took the ball first and singled it out.After he feinted in the middle, he broke through with the ball and was blocked by Baines. After thinking about it, he passed the ball again.

Holiday was entangled by Smart and didn't have a chance to make a phone call. He dribbled and hit the ground to pass the ball to Cousins, who wanted the ball behind his back.Cousins ​​turned back and scored with a small hook.

Pelicans 94 to 99 Celtics.

They still refused to give up, stubborn to the extreme.

Celtics attack.

Jianghu started to move again, and under the cover of Baines, he received a pass from Irving on the right three-point line.Holiday, who was defending him, just chased him out, and Smart immediately gave Jianghu a second gear in the middle.

Jianghu dribbled two steps to the left with the ball, and made an emergency stop jump shot just before the top of the arc.

Facing Holiday, Jianghu already has a height advantage. After using the double pick-and-roll to open up his position, Holiday is even more out of reach.

The shooting position of Jianghu is also quite evil. One step back is a three-pointer, and one step forward is the free throw line. It is a position that everyone thinks is particularly inefficient in modern basketball. Therefore, other Pelicans players did not expect him to shoot here. Almost nothing.

"brush."

When Jianghu made the shot, he was full of confidence, with a slight back, his calf collapsed straight, his posture was picturesque, and the basketball was hollow into the net!
Pelicans 94 to 101 Celtics.

After the goal, Jianghu clenched his fists and roared at the home audience.

"Iron-blooded big jumper" is a tradition of the Celtics. Garnett was good at this before, and now the world continues the fine tradition of the Celtics.

The North Shore Garden home fans went crazy, and countless people stood up and cheered.

"That's great, Jiang. Fuck!!"

"Waldfa, is that you Michael?? You look so fucking sexy in your Celtics jersey!!!"

The audience went crazy, including many people who questioned Jianghu when they were first selected by the Celtics, they also stood up and cheered...

Every time they watch Jianghu play live, they have a dreamlike feeling.

They couldn't believe that their No. 19 pick selected a Chinese, and they couldn't believe that this Chinese was ridiculously strong. At only [-] years old, he became a pivotal figure in this league, possessing extraordinary strength and huge influence.

Slap in the face? ?
nonexistent.

They hope to come to this face slap several times, preferably once a year! !

Zhang Weiping shouted: "Xiaojiang is here again, and he is still a mid-range shot. He has no solution. He really dares to throw it, and he can really throw it in!"

Yu Jia also raised the volume: "This game has been played so far, we still can't say who will win and who will lose, but Jianghu, as the best player on the field, stood up and turned the tide. I believe this should be a favorite of every Chinese fan. thing."

Chinese fans are indeed happy to hear and see.

Tencent Sports, densely packed bullet screens, all of which are unified "The rivers and lakes are awesome!!" If you don't close the bullet screens, you can't even watch the game normally...

The screen is full of bullet screens, the APP is almost jammed, and people on the field can't see clearly, how to watch the game? ?

As soon as the voice of the commentary fell, Cousins ​​broke through with the ball and caused Baynes to foul.

Baynes has a very keen sense of defense. When he sees that he is about to be passed, he will be pulled immediately. Otherwise, Cousins ​​may rush in and dunk. He would rather end the field than be dunked by a pass.

This was Baynes' fifth foul, but at this time Stevens had to replace him with Horford, and Cousins ​​had to let Smart continue.

The Celtics had less than 4 defensive fouls by the team, the Pelicans re-sent the sideline ball, and Rondo continued to organize the offense.

Rondo made a breakthrough with the ball, and Irving retreated to the basket. Rondo made an emergency stop and made a fake shot. Irving was fired, and Horford also stretched his arms to defend. The movement here attracted everyone on the field. attention.

When the defensive attention of the audience was on Rondo, when he thought he would make a shot, he didn't make a shot. Instead, he used a no-look pass to Darius Miller in the right corner.

Brown, who was defending Miller, was also focused on Rondo. Miller shot a three-pointer confidently without too much interference.

"Shu~"

Miller hit a three-pointer.

This time is Rondo's 15th assist. He has already scored 16 points, 8 rebounds and 15 assists. It is not too much to say that he dreams of returning to the top.

Pelicans 97 to 101 Celtics.

The restlessness of the audience was suppressed once again.

The Celtics attacked, Jianghu took the ball from outside the three-point line and played a pick-and-roll with Horford and wanted to repeat the same trick. Cousins ​​let go of Horford and stepped forward to attack Jianghu together with Holiday.

Jianghu didn't panic at all, and immediately lowered his body's center of gravity and took the ball to the outside line, and at the same time threw it to Irving who was outside the three-point line on the right.

Irving dribbled through, passed Rondo with one step, and was defended by Miller again. A ground pass was sent to the open Jaylen Brown. Brown wanted to shoot, and Moore turned to him again. He returned the ball to Jianghu, and Holiday interfered with the pass and returned to Jianghu.

Cousins ​​immediately double-teamed him for the second time. He didn't want to give Jianghu a chance at all, and Jianghu gave him a feeling of going in.

The Pelicans' defense suddenly came online, the rotation was extremely fast and they cooperated tacitly. The Celtics scored and played a full circle without finding an open space.

The offensive time was running out, Jianghu passed the ball to Irving again, Irving took a step forward with the ball and passed it to Horford, Horford wanted to dunk, Cousins ​​was too late to defend, so he had to rush to foul Horford.

Horford lost his balance in the air, and the ball fell to the ground before he could release it.

With a bang, Horford fell heavily onto the wooden floor of the Celtics' home court.

The referee whistled calmly and gave Cousins ​​a common foul.

The intensity of the game left all the fans dumbfounded. How could such a fierce confrontation be allowed in the small ball era?Under this level of confrontation, Jiang Hu turned out to be the best player on the field?
Even Chinese fans with an extremely strong vocabulary can only say one thing: really awesome.
