From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 191 fierce battle
After almost learning about Xiao Hua's plan, Jianghu was a little more relieved.

The game continues, and Jianghu will continue to attack and defend normally in the next game, and will not hesitate to use some large-scale moves on the defensive end.

He quickly got his third foul.

Everyone thought that Jiang Hu would restrain his defensive actions and become timid, but Jiang Hu was just the opposite. His defensive actions did not restrain himself at all, instead he kept physically confronting the Pacers players, as if he didn't have anything on his back. Foul like.

He was betting that the referee just wanted to scare himself and disrupt the rhythm of the Celtics, and the referee didn't dare to blow him down easily.

Sure enough, the referee began to hesitate in the subsequent penalty. He didn't dare to call the fourth foul in the first half, which was too obvious.

In addition to his still big moves, Jianghu also stepped forward to argue with the referee without hesitation when his teammates were unfairly violated. He yelled at the referee and even encouraged the audience to boo crazily.

A fearless look, not afraid of getting a second technical foul.

Brother Tony felt very pained, he had never seen such a strange thing, with three criminals on his back, but extremely arrogant.

He really wanted to blow the rivers and lakes down, but he didn't dare.

Xiao Hua's explanation is to let him control the rhythm of the game and not let any side play an absolute advantage, but once he blows the rivers and lakes down, the Pacers will undoubtedly occupy the absolute advantage on the field. He has already proved it in the competition, he dare not take such a risk.

So he can only turn a blind eye to Jiang Hu's complaints, and even some penalties will be changed after review.

After the efforts of Jianghu, the whistleblowing standards of both sides finally returned to the same level.

But in the first half of the game, the Pacers undoubtedly had the advantage. After halftime, the Celtics still trailed by 42 points 59 to 17.

No way, the Pacers have already shown confidence in the first quarter of the game. In the following games, it is almost like a godsend, no matter how they play, they can score. Even if some defensive shots are in place, they can force them with their excellent touch. Enter.

At the end of the halftime, most of the Celtics players looked "tired", not because they were tired, but because they were behind in the whole first half, and their hearts were tired...

"Damn it, Indianans are not easy to deal with."

In the locker room at midfield, Owen said to Jianghu after taking a sip of his drink.

Owen was very angry by Boyang, that guy was taller than him, and he was much better at confrontation than Owen. What was even more annoying was that he kept making small movements all over his body, and he was very hidden, hard to be found, and he didn't rely on the defensive end. Inflexible like a dog skin plaster.

"Don't worry, Carey, I think you can handle him." Jiang Hu sat on a chair and talked while bringing the statistics of the first half.

"Man, you let him score 21 points?"

Jianghu saw the statistics and almost didn't jump up. Boyang actually scored 12 points on 8 of 21 shots when he was facing Owen throughout the whole process. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was blown up.

Jianghu shook his head. It seems that Coach Stevens' pre-match predictions were not very reliable. Irving, who is a lot shorter in height and wingspan, does not have any obvious speed advantage when facing Bo Yang. They thought too much before. up.

It seems that the situation is changing rapidly, and it is still not enough to only test the head coach Stevens, and then you have to rely on yourself...

Jianghu gathered everyone in the locker room together, stood on a stool and said.

"Guys, I have something to say!"

"We're 17 points behind, but I don't think that's our true strength, what do you guys think?"

"Of course, those guys are just lucky." Smart was indignant, his face full of dissatisfaction! !

"Yes, we will fight back in the second half!!"

Jaylen Brown's face was solemn. Obviously, he didn't want to lose the game at home and let the Pacers return to Indiana with an advantage.

Jiang Hu nodded in relief: "Since you all think so, it's great."

"However, we need to make some tactical adjustments in the second half of the game. First of all, JB (Jaylen Brown), your defensive task is too light. I think it is more suitable to defend Bo Yang. Use your wingspan to limit him. Is there any problem? ?”

"No!!!"

Jaylen Brown looked very determined.

"Marcus, I'd better leave Victor to you, and let me entangle him."

"Okay, Jiang!!!"

Smart's face is full of excitement, I like this, if it is well guarded, won't it be praised by the media?
"As for me, I will help you to defend at any time~!!"

"As long as we're willing to work hard and work together defensively."

"We are the strongest team in the East!!"

The rivers and lakes said loudly

"Indiana is nothing special. They depended on the refs to get ahead. In the second half, the refs wouldn't help them."

"Guys, we're going to put them down, no order, scuffle, get it? Scuffle, everybody run for me, it's running, it's not for you to run and blast, it's running, run out of space , the pass between Kyrie and I arrived immediately, understand?"

"Marcus, you don't care about the offense, you stare at Victor, don't let him get the ball, when you are on offense, you pull him to the three-point line, pull him out, so whether it is offense or defense, his role is greatly weakened. Yes, and he is the core of the Indiana people, as long as he is not involved, the Pacers are in a mess!!"

Smart recalled the rivers and lakes in the second quarter, and indeed defended Oladipo in this way. If it weren't for his teammates not restricting the rest of the Pacers, the Celtics might be able to widen the point difference in the second quarter. It's within 10 minutes.

After talking, Jianghu turned around and said to Jaylen Brown: "JB, you don't have to take care of others, you just need to take care of that European." Jianghu slapped his palm hard with his fist and said, "Give me a hard time Stick to him, limit him with your wingspan, don't let him hit the mid-range shot, try to follow him as he breaks through, his speed is not fast, it shouldn't be easy to pass you, even if it passes it doesn't matter, Al can protect the basket. "

"Al, we need to be tough, tough!! Can't shoot easily under the guard's basket, okay?"

Jiang Hu stared into Horford's eyes and said seriously, Baynes spent a lot of energy defending the basket in the first half, and got his fourth personal foul in the last minute of the second quarter. He needs to rest now. Had to play starting center and play tougher games.

Horford nodded slowly, looking into Jianghu's eyes with a serious face.

"Kill the Indiana!!" Jiang Hu raised his arms and shouted.

"Kill the Indiana!!!"

All the Celtics players stood up to respond to him.

soon~

The game continued in the second half.

The Pacers players looked at the completely different mental outlook of the Celtics players in front of them, secretly surprised.

Oladipo saw Smart who was flailing his teeth and claws in front of him. Knowing Smart's defensive strength, he did not choose singles, but chose to pass the ball to Sabonis.

He wanted to pass the ball to Boyang Bogdanovic, but Jaylen Brown got entangled with Boyang on the outside, and he had no chance to pass the ball.

And Sabonis doesn't have any good offensive space. Horford has been secretly greeting him with his big elbow, and he doesn't want to relive that feeling.

Sabonis had no choice but to pass the ball to Turner, who cut inside. At this time, Ball just cut out on the penalty line.

As soon as Sabonis passed the ball, Jianghu rushed forward like a leopard, and directly flew the ball out of Turner's hands.

Both Sabonis and Turner were taken aback. They didn't expect this young man to fight so fiercely as the leader of the team. His save just now was very dangerous.

Irving picked up the ball immediately and threw it to Jaylen Brown. In front of him was Thaddeus Young who followed, and he couldn't make a fast break.

As soon as the ball was passed, Jianghu and Turner followed up again at the same time, but their purpose was different. Turner was for defense, while Jianghu was for offense.

Brown took the ball and started to play quickly, and everyone started sprinting towards the backcourt almost at the same time.

Brown's speed is very average, especially when advancing with the ball, he was quickly overtaken by the empty-handed Thaddeus Young. He passed the ball back directly, and Jiang Hu received the ball like a Ferrari from the right to the basket.

Turner tried his best to catch up, but unexpectedly, Jiang Hu sped up again and threw him away.

After entering the restricted area, the rivers and lakes jumped high! !

Holding the ball in the air with both hands, he used a big windmill with both hands to smash the ball into the basket. He would not waste such a chance to improve morale. He wanted to smash the basket so much! !

"Boom!!"

The basketball was smashed into the basket by the rivers and lakes, and at the same time it was pulled and deformed, there was a loud bang! !
"Beautiful, so invincible!!"

"Jianghu!!!!!! Awesome!!!""

"That's awesome, the best dunk of the season!!"

The fans at North Shore Garden also all left their benches, sending their roars to Jianghu! ! !

"Jianghu, well done, this dunk is so fucking cool!!"

Horford rushed over and roared excitedly. He rubbed Jianghu's hair with his hands, the excitement and admiration on his face were beyond words.

To make Horford, who has always been calm, show this expression, one can imagine the explosiveness of this ball.

Jianghu roared to the sky, and then looked at Oladipo in the distance...

"Just you, the Black Panther??"

"You still want the Celtics to win at home?"

"Unless you step over my dead body!!!"

Oladipo looked at Ball and shook his head. He finally knew why this little guy was able to lead the league to No. [-] in his first season in the NBA.

Strength is part of it, good teammates are part of it, and the more important point is this guy's competitive spirit and hard work. There is no need to say if it is true, and it is a rare level among young players.

This dunk in Jianghu greatly boosted the morale of the Celtics. The fans at the North Shore Garden were also infected by the atmosphere and shouted loudly to cheer for the team.

"Defense!!"

"Defense!!"

The atmosphere of the fans at the scene also infected the players, making them more devoted on the defensive end.

Especially Smart, Jianghu clearly saw that the audience's loud shouts made Smart's eyes brighter, and he even trembled with excitement a few times.

That's why home-court advantage in the playoffs is so crucial.

Smart's biting defense like a mad dog made it difficult for Oladipo to parry. He wanted to call a pick-and-roll to the basket, but fell into a double-team.

Oladipo stopped suddenly and got up to shoot to make a foul, but the referee still didn't call the penalty in the air.

The referee's scale finally changed in the second half, and he no longer whistled some inexplicable fouls against the Celtics.

The helpless Oladipo had no choice but to pass the ball to Sabonis who was stuck inside. Sabonis was stuck in a good position. He caught the ball very comfortably and could pose a great threat to the basket. The mistake in the last round It also made him very unhappy, so he decided to fight back with a goal.

Sabonis hugged the ball with both hands, slammed back with his strong back, then slapped the ball to the ground with both hands, slammed back hard with his shoulders, knocked Horford a little staggered, and immediately turned around for a layup.

"Snapped."

As soon as the basketball left Sabonis' hands, it was blocked by a large hand.

Jianghu was the one who blocked the shot. He had already noticed Sabonis's movements. As soon as Sabonis pouted his butt, Jianghu guessed that he was going to play singles. He immediately abandoned his defender and blocked the pass.

"Come on, little bitch!!"

"Keep hitting the basket if you have the guts, I'll show you what it means to cover the sky and block the sun!!"

Immediately after the Jianghu landed, he looked up to the sky and screamed. Although he didn't say who it was, he made the Pacers players feel uncomfortable.

The rest of the Celtics followed suit, leaning over and shouting at the audience. Even Horford, who has always been low-key, made a gesture of looking up to the sky and screaming. The entire Celtics looked like an army of bad boys. The appearance made the fans on the scene couldn't help but give out uniform and crazy cheers.

"Let's go Celtic's"

"Let's go Celtic's"

Pacers coach McMillan had to stand up when he saw this situation, and he frowned and called a timeout.

In the NBA, sometimes timeouts can solve a lot of problems, and sometimes timeouts can't solve any problems.

The Celtics' fiery game state will not be interrupted by a short 2-minute timeout.

The game continued, both sides made rotations, Jianghu and Oladipo were still on the court.

The Pacers ran a trick where Oladipo caught the ball with the help of a screen. He used two screens, but was followed by the mad dog-like Smart. He received the ball without any room for shooting and passed the ball Boyang, the time has come to the last two seconds, Boyang can only force Jaylen Brown to block the shot, increase the shooting arc, and finally make a three-point shot.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Jianghu controlled the ball outside the three-point line, and Baines took a step outside the penalty area. After the Celtics' crazy running on the inside, it became Boyang defending Baines. This is a misplacement.

Jiang Hu sneered, secretly thinking that although Boyang's defense is passable, it also depends on who is defending. Just his little man wants to defend Baines, a big white bear?

dreaming too! !

After receiving the pass from Jianghu, Baines turned his back to Boyang, and Boyang immediately stepped forward and grabbed Baines' waist. He knew that he could not be the opponent of Baines in terms of strength, so he chose to be close to him. Go up and draw his offensive foul.

But it didn't work at all. Baynes' skills were rough, but his roughness was only outside the restricted area. When he came to the restricted area, he was still very flexible.

His shoulders swayed quickly, and when Boyang was not paying attention, he twisted his waist and controlled the ball with his left hand to kill from Boyang's right side. Boyang wanted to retreat to defend, but when his feet moved, Bei Ernes had his hands on the rim for a dunk.
