From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 249 The golden bell and the iron cloth shirt have no power like Du Yong.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors' bench was completely silent. Durant, Curry, Thompson, Green, and Iguodala sat side by side, looking at each other in silence.

The atmosphere is a little subtle...

The person who finally broke the silence was Green.

He stood up and said, "Guys, we can't lose anymore!!"

"This is a must win for us!!"

"If we win this game, it will be a draw. If we lose, we will be 1-3 behind. That is definitely not good news for us."

Curry also stood up at this time and shouted: "Go all out, brothers!!"

“If we lose this game, we may lose our entire season’s efforts!!”

"We have no choice but to win!!"

Everyone shouted: "We must win!!"

It seems that in this way, everyone can be united.

The game entered the fourth quarter.

At first, both sides sent out their starting lineups. Now the score is 93 to 78. The Celtics are 15 points behind the Warriors. It is at a critical moment that the Warriors hope to catch up with the score, while the Celtics hope to further expand their lead. Advantage.

"beep"

The whistle blows and the Warriors attack.

This time, their offense became even more fierce. Everyone had a sense of no hesitation, attacking inside whenever they had the opportunity, and they were also extremely determined in taking action from the outside.

As soon as he came up, Durant decisively broke through the basket and scored against Horford's defense, which attracted cheers from the whole audience.

"Prevent!"

"Keep an eye on the opponent and guard against him."

Switch to defense, every Warriors fan is yelling.

The Warriors substitute players on the sidelines were also shouting. Everyone knows that just attacking can't score, but you also need to defend well. If the defense can't defend, it's all in vain.

Several Warriors players were also serious, each staring at their defender. No one dared to relax their attention during this period. They devoted all their attention to the game.

Jianghu has advanced to the frontcourt and is not in a hurry to pass the ball because he can detect the strange atmosphere and chilling momentum on the opposite side.

Almost everyone in the audience, including the Warriors players, had their eyes fixed on Jiang Hu. He and Horford made gestures. Horford quickly came up to pick and roll, while Jiang Hu suddenly cut inside, and quickly changed direction and swung away. The person who comes up to cover the defense jumps up for a layup.

"Pull him down!"

"Stop him!"

Many fans were shouting, but Green, the only remaining Warriors player in the paint, did not do so. He just stood there, raised his hands, and tried his best to interfere.

Of course, it was impossible to stop Jiang Hu with his kind of defense. Seeing that Green didn't come up, Jiang Hu smiled slightly and made a light layup, scoring two points.

"Damn, why don't you take him down?"

"Shame on him! This coward actually stood still."

"Aren't you the best defensive player? What the hell did you defend??"

Many radical Warriors fans began to curse Green, thinking that he was weak on defense and was paddling blindly.

Hearing the voices in the audience, Green smiled helplessly. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he had to implement the tactics assigned by the coach.This time is different from before. The coach's tactics are not to block the opponent at all costs, but to block as much as possible, but don't foul easily.

And after these few games, he also discovered a problem. No matter how big a move he made to commit a foul, it would have almost no impact on the world.

Whether it was an insidious and vicious kick in the crotch, a frenzied eye-piercing, or a despicable palm slap in the face, Green had tried it all, but to Jiang Hu, it seemed as if his invincible methods were all a joke.

Green once lost all his defensive confidence, doubted his life, and even thought that his abilities were not suitable for the NBA. Otherwise, how could he explain that no matter how he defended, he had no impact on the world? ?
It wasn't until I checked a lot of information that I discovered that the reason why Jiang Hu was not afraid of being poked in the eyes and kicked in the crotch was probably because he had learned the ancient Chinese Kung Fu called the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt.

It is said that this kind of Chinese Kung Fu, when practiced to the depths, can be invulnerable to fire and water, invulnerable to swords and guns, and cannot be killed by any cold weapons. He even saw in some movies that some people can practice golden bells and iron cloth shirts to the point of being invulnerable. High-level people can block bullets.

“It’s incredible, it’s amazing!!”

"Is this the kung fu of a country with 5000 years of history??"

After checking this, Green solved all his doubts and gave up his plan to continue to use big moves to deal with Jianghu, because it was of no use at all, so why waste time?
However, Green also had his own plan. He heard that although the Iron Cloth Shirt with the Golden Bell Cover was invulnerable, he was afraid of a Kung Fu called Iron Sand Palm. Therefore, he decided to go to China this summer. Even if he visited the famous mountains and rivers, You must find your own master and learn the iron sand palm.

Back to the game, Cole asked Green to commit fewer fouls. In fact, it is understandable. In the third quarter, the Warriors did not hesitate to foul and chased some points, but the Celtics took advantage of it and gave away many points in vain.

What's more serious is that this has caused some fouls to be committed on each of the Warriors players. If they continue to implement that kind of tactics, I am afraid that some people will be sent off before the game is over.

So Coach Cole had to adjust his tactics.

Of course, fans won't think about this. They only know that Green failed to defend and allowed Jiang Hu to score a layup, which was very embarrassing.

The score was Celtics 95 to Warriors 80, and the point difference was still 15 points.

The Warriors attack, the Celtics defend.

As Jiang Hu ran back, he exchanged glances with his teammates, then looked to the sidelines and exchanged glances with Stevens, who nodded.

The reason why Jianghu chose to break through so resolutely this time, and even did not pass the ball to his teammates after reaching the frontcourt, was to test whether the Warriors' tactics had changed.

It turns out that the Warriors have indeed changed their tactics, so the Celtics must also change their tactics. Just now Jiang Hu and Stevens exchanged a look, and Stevens nodded, telling Jiang Hu that they can change their tactics. Since the opponent has adopted Defensive strategy, then I should attack more fiercely to deal with it.

However, although the defensive end was somewhat restrained, the Warriors' offense was quite fierce on the offensive end.

The advance was very fast and the ball quickly reached the frontcourt. Curry handed the ball to Green and ran quickly. Thompson was also walking along the baseline. Durant was walking at a 45-degree angle on the left. Green took a look. The situation on the court passed the ball to Durant.

Durant pretended to fight, but it was just a show. When Curry saw an opportunity when he reversed, he immediately passed the ball to Curry. Curry took the ball, turned around and shot a three-pointer.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

The Celtics beat the Warriors 95 to 83.

The Warriors fans in the audience cheered wildly and shouted Curry's name.

Turning around, the Celtics counterattacked. Jianghu quickly advanced to the frontcourt, started a pick-and-roll with his teammates, took a step to the side, threw away the defender, and made a direct pull-up.Uh-huh!
Also enter.

The Celtics beat the Warriors 98 to 83.

Jiang Hu knows very well that he must score points. If he wants to defeat the Warriors, he can only win by scoring more points than the Warriors. And he is one of the Celtics' strongest scoring points. He must score a lot. point.

Therefore, as soon as the fourth quarter came up, he went into scoring mode and scored two of his own.

It feels good in the hand, and I'm hooked as soon as I put it on.

Next, the game became intense, because this quarter was very crucial. The Celtics really wanted to win. After winning, they could return to the home court with match points and strive to win the championship at home.

The Warriors don't want to lose either. Compared with being behind [-]-[-], a [-]-[-] draw is more in line with their psychological expectations. Once they fall behind, they don't think it's easy to come back.

So both the Warriors and the Celtics are very hard-working and very fast-paced. Both sides are almost constantly running on the court, attacking quickly and defending quickly. Even if they switch to positional battles, they often attack very quickly. , miss a hit, immediately return to defense, and then look for opportunities to counterattack again.

In this process, the Warriors' powerful firepower was revealed. Curry, Thompson, Durant, and Green can all attack and have amazing scoring abilities.

Moreover, with the connection and tearing between the four of them, McGee was always able to get some opportunities, and he was very competitive and scored almost all of them.

However, the Celtics are not inferior.

Jianghu has completely entered the scoring mode. Durant alone cannot stop him. Even double-teaming cannot completely restrict him. He can break through, shoot, have three-pointers and mid-range shots, and he also has an elusive skill. The passing skills give the Warriors a headache.

In fact, Jianghu reminds the Warriors of James.

It's just that James' rebounding ability is stronger, his impact and explosive power are stronger, and his physical fitness is better.But Jianghu also has obvious advantages. His organizational skills and overall view are excellent, and his ability to attract defense is even better than James. With him on the court, Jianghu's offense will become smooth and efficient.

Moreover, Jiang Hu shoots better than James. Whether it is three-pointers, mid-range shots, floaters or fadeaways, he is good at all of these. As long as you give him a chance, he can give you a shot.

What's more, the Celtics not only have Jianghu, but also Irving, Rocher and Jaylen Brown.

Smart still failed to guard Durant after all, but it became increasingly difficult for Durant to guard Jaylen Brown. Even with Durant's defense, Jaylen Brown could still score points.

As for Irving, he has completely broken out at this stage. He has been letting off steam in the regular season. Even if he enters the playoffs, he does not play hard in every game.

But today, he really tried his best.

At this moment, the Irving who had made the Warriors tremble and frighten before seemed to be back. From outside three-pointers, breakthrough layups, and turn-over jump shots, Irving seemed to be omnipotent, constantly bombarding the Warriors' basket and constantly getting to the basket. , scored an incredible goal.

Driven by the two men, the Celtics still maintained the lead.

"Give me the ball!"

Irving took the ball, pointed his toes, and Thompson retreated a little. Irving swatted the ball, bursting with speed, and took half of Thompson's body in one step. Then he made a sudden stop and started, using the change in speed to completely pass him. He caught Thompson and drove straight into the paint, forcing Rooney and Green to jump up.

Rooney and Green also jumped up and blocked Irving.

Owen was silent, then his body collided with the two of them, and then quickly curled up into a ball, paused in the air for a moment, raised his hand, and flicked his wrist.

beep!
Swish!
The whistle blows and the ball goes in.

Owen landed, staggered and fell to the ground, but he immediately got up, beat his chest, and roared loudly: "Fake."

This scene is very exciting, and all Celtic fans are excited.

Jianghu Smart, Brown and others also swooped in to celebrate with Irving. Everyone's blood surged and their morale reached its peak.

After this ball, the Celtics' morale became even more terrifying, and they were even more motivated on the defensive end. The Warriors who were directly defending took a 24-second violation.

The Celtics beat the Warriors 106 to 91.

"beep"

Cole called a timeout, hesitated, and finally adjusted his tactics and replaced Durant with Livingston. Curry, Thompson, Green, and Rooney were still on the court.

Coach Cole also had his own considerations for making such a substitution. They have many core players, which is an advantage, but it is also a constraint. Who should take the lead is a problem.

Therefore, he simply reduced the core number and replaced Durant. Curry, Thompson, and Green have been cooperating for several years. They have a good understanding and should be able to find their form soon. In terms of distribution of ball rights, , this lineup has already been consistent, and there will be no problems.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After the substitution, the Warriors' offense improved and they played a beautiful offensive. Thompson hit a 3-pointer, Curry hit a 3-pointer, and Livingston hit a post-up single. The score difference was reduced to only 7 points.

Looking at this result, Cole's tightly frowned brow finally relaxed a little.

In the auditorium, Warriors fans were also very excited, shouting on the court to cheer for the Warriors. Their voices were like thunder, resounding throughout the arena.

Swish!
Curry ran back, took the ball and dribbled on the spot. He raised his hand and made a three-pointer. The ball traced an arc and hit the ball hollow.

"Stephen, Stephen"

“That’s awesome, man!!”

"I'm going to give you a monkey, Stephen!!"

The Warriors fans at Oracle Arena were shouting wildly, very excited, because this was Curry's fourth three-pointer in this quarter, and it suddenly narrowed the point difference to only 4 points.

However, not many people noticed that there was not much joy on Durant's face sitting on the sidelines. Although he was also applauding, there was clearly a trace of loneliness deep in his eyes.

“After all, I still couldn’t fully integrate into it.”

Durant sighed secretly in his heart, and his mood became a little complicated. Looking at the game on the field and the fans cheering, shouting, or insulting in the audience, he suddenly felt that everything became very distant and strange, as if there was something wrong. A strange barrier isolates himself.

After a while, he felt that he had returned to reality, but the sadness and loss in his heart could not go away.

He joined the Warriors in order to pursue the brightest pearl in the crown and wear a crown for himself.

He joined the Warriors to be a leader, to lead the team to fight like James, to become a hero who leads the team to the championship.

At the beginning, he was indeed ambitious and thought he could do it. Because James did it, he had to do it, otherwise he would always be the second best in the world.

If there is one person in this league that he needs to surpass, it must be LeBron James.

Even Durant himself can't tell clearly how much influence the name LeBron James had on him when he made the decision to leave the Thunder.

Durant's eyes were fixed on Jiang Hu, his eyes were deep and persistent, and those who didn't know it thought there was something wrong with him...

Looking at Jiang Hu who looked determined on the court, Durant had a sneer on his lips, and then whispered:
"Haha, although I haven't surpassed you, it seems that you will be surpassed soon!!"
