From South China Tiger to NBA King

对阵猛龙的比赛，江湖打了37分钟，19投12中，三分球7中4，罚球7中 6，砍下34分6篮板6助攻3抢断。

He had 30+ points in two consecutive games, but fans felt it was not enough because his statistics were not as exciting as the first game.

But Jianghu's statistics are "poor" because the Raptors double-teamed him at a certain period of time and frequently sent others to the free throw line with fouls.If others don't score directly, some of Jianghu's effective passes cannot be converted into assist data.

伦纳德10投5中，罚球14中14，得到24分9篮板2助攻，是球队得分第二多的。

海沃德也有出色的表现，10投8中，三分球2中1，罚球4中4，得到21分2篮板3助攻。

Except for three people, the rest scored piecemeal.

The Raptors' top scorer was their backup point guard VanVleet with 21 points and 3 rebounds. Five players on the team scored in double figures.

The Raptors' lineup is not bad. Two players, Lowry and DeRozan, have been selected to the All-Star Game. Siakam, the third-leading player, has the ability to average 20+ per game. Ibaka is still very effective. Marc Gasol, Va. Lanciunas has a lot of experience.OJ Anunoby, the No. 23 pick in the first round of the same class as Jianghu, didn't have a chance to perform and only played 9 minutes in garbage time.

But looking at the game, they were suppressed by the Celtics and had no chance of winning.

Throughout the game, the Raptors, like the Warriors, did not lead for even a second.

At the post-match press conference, Jianghu stated a clearer goal.

"When I was in the training camp, I said something. I said: Our existence is not to defeat anyone. We have to find a better version of ourselves and become a stronger version of ourselves than in the past. This is why we have lost so much. The meaning of sweat.”

"To be specific, we must strive to achieve the best record in the team's regular season history and break last season's record of 67 wins and 15 losses. I am not saying this to put pressure on my teammates, but I think our team The team is very strong and we are fully capable of doing this.”

The reporter asked: "Do you want to break the Warriors' regular season win record, or at least tie it?"

"We still don't know how far away this record is from us, because the number of 73 wins and 9 losses seems really incredible."

"But if we have this opportunity at the end of the season, I will not hesitate to challenge this record."

"After all, I shouldn't have any problem with what my defeated general can do."

Jianghu's attitude shows a strong desire to win.

There is no friendship, just wanting to compete.

It would be controversial for him to say this, but his teammates were heartened to hear it.

The Celtics had a great harvest last season. The best coach, best general manager, and MVP all went to them because they were number one in the league.

Respect is something that you never have to be able to get. It is something you have to earn by yourself.

This season, if they become number one in the league again and are lucky enough to break a record by the way, more people will like them and more people will vote for them.

The reporter asked: "Besides LeBron, is there any opponent you want to beat?"

Jiang Hu shook his head and smiled: "Your question is wrong. We are the defending champions now, and we are the ones waiting to be defeated."

"Of course, if LeBron challenges me in the Finals this year, I will let him go from five overall runner-ups to six overall runner-ups."

The reporter asked in confusion: "What is the overall runner-up??"

Jiang Hu smiled slightly: "The team that loses in the finals will be the overall runner-up."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Hu stopped talking.

He just proposed a concept and did not refer to any specific person.

Because in the United States, there is no such thing as a runner-up, only a championship and a division championship. If you win the finals, you are the championship. If you do not win the finals, which region you are from, you are the division champion of that region. .

按照媒体们的说法，詹姆斯07-17年8次进入总决赛，荣誉上是一共获得了3个总冠军和5个东部分区冠军。

That night, another big news broke out in the NBA.

The new term "overall runner-up" created by Jianghu has once again become a term that is being discussed crazily in the basketball world, and by the way, Jianghu has also become a person that everyone is discussing crazily.

There has never been a player as arrogant as Jiang Hu before, and this is only the second season of his career.

Fans of other stars suddenly hoped that their idols could compete and defeat Jiang Hu and the Celtics.With so many local stars in the United States, can no one be able to cure this Chinese guy?

Of course, the main reason is that Jiang Hu is not in their team. If Jiang Hu is in their team, they will not think that Jiang Hu is arrogant, but will think that Jiang Hu has a personality and is not an ordinary person...

After watching the news, Adam Silver felt that Jianghu was very smart.He knows how to hype himself up and make it more topical.Now the Celtics attract much attention in every game. Some people want them to win, while others want to see them lose.

Whether he likes or hates Jianghu, he can maintain his exposure rate.He is not afraid of losing and has many opportunities to win championships in the future.If he successfully defended his title with such a high profile, it would be a huge fan attraction.

No one had ever said that about James before, and the players didn't dare.

There is even a saying in the NBA: Don't compete with James in the news media, you will lose completely.

Because James has many exclusive mouthpieces in the sports world, James will send them money every year so that they can continue to promote him more vigorously.

In the future, James will even set up his own media company, and even signed player Draymond Green as a media person for his company.

However, Jiang Hu feels that this is a sign of lack of confidence. People who do this kind of thing covet the status of certain people, but know that they cannot compete with them at all. They can only use some outside voices to confuse the audience and try to compete with others. That person is juxtaposed.

Jianghu's goal is to get close to that person, but he completely disdains using these touches off the court. All he has to do is work hard to win and win status with his own abilities.

At the same time, he wants to subvert everyone's stereotype of Easterners being unconfident. He wants to be more high-profile and confident off the court than those stars.

Jiang Hu returned to Boston with the team overnight and got two days of rest.

There are only two games in the first week after the NBA unveils, and there is no Player of the Week selection, otherwise there will be no suspense about winning the award.He established his status as the top MVP seed in two games. Many media said that the league is now entering the era of arena.

Stevens did not arrange training, allowing the players to recharge their batteries at home and wait for the challenge of the Philadelphia 76ers.

After acquiring talented center Joel Embiid in the draft, and then acquiring Simmons and Fultz, the 76ers finally ended their bottomless career.

This season, the 76ers are still steadily improving their strength. Embiid, who averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game last season, has continued to work hard this season and currently averages 28 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Simmons has not improved significantly, but still has 17+7+7 data.

The current 76ers are obviously not a match for the Celtics in terms of lineup, but their fate will change in the middle of the season. By November, according to the original historical process, they will trade Butler from the Timberwolves and trade from the Clippers. To Tobias Harris.After Butler arrives with the 11ers, they will be the only team in the Eastern Conference that can challenge the Celtics.

However, in the original history, even if they finally welcomed Butler, their ending could not be considered perfect. They fought fiercely with the Raptors in 7 games and were eliminated, becoming the first player in history to be defeated by the playoff tiebreaker. A winning team.

"Embid's tears" became a unique sight after the game that year.

What's even more pity is that the 76ers let Butler go after the season. Butler went to the Heat and led the declining Miami to the Finals twice. Imagine if Butler had not left the 76ers, what would they have done? The injury should last for many years...

But their glory is not yet here. The current 76ers are not qualified to compare with the Celtics.

This game started with a fierce confrontation between the two sides.

Embiid saw that the Celtics' starting center was Horford, and he continued to take position under the basket at the beginning, and he continuously beat Horford to score.

The Celtics immediately sent Embiid a double-team package, but their transfer of the ball gave shooter JJ Redick a good open opportunity.

Instead, the visiting 76ers started the game with a 9-2 lead.

Stevens decisively called a timeout, put Baynes into the starting lineup, gave up the plan to double-team Embiid, and changed to a defensive method of guarding Embiid alone and leaving Simmons open for shots at Jianghu's suggestion. .

This method is indeed very effective. When faced with the sudden opening, Simmons not only did not shoot, but instead worked hard to get to the basket like a tough boy.

This made the Celtics veterans extremely happy. Leonard and Morris followed suit and blocked the basket. As soon as Simmons came over, he lay back with the slightest physical contact to create his attack. foul.

After Leonard and Morris worked hard for several rounds, Simmons unexpectedly committed two fouls.

One of the 76ers' two cores is gone, and the rest will be easier to handle, attacking Embiid with all their strength.

After half a quarter of the game, the 76ers were unable to resist the Celtics' offensive led by Jiang Hu. The Celtics gained a 10-point advantage in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the 76ers also launched a counterattack. Embiid hit a three-pointer from the outside, Covington hit a three-pointer, and Redick hit a three-pointer. The 76ers once caught up to only 1 point behind.

But soon, the Celtics, led by Leonard, increased their defensive intensity and quickly restricted the 76ers' offense.

After all, if you can't score points, it will be difficult to gain momentum.

Without momentum, it’s hard to have a chance to make a comeback, right?

In the second half of the game, the 76ers still tenaciously wanted to counterattack, but the Celtics continued to maintain offensive pressure and continued to expand the score.

After three quarters, the score difference between the two teams reached 20 points, and Jianghu clocked out of get off work in three quarters again.

The Celtics easily defeated the 125ers with a score of 96-76.

The Celtics once again suppressed their opponents' score below 100.

江湖这场比赛砍瓜切菜般的轰下32分10篮板13助攻5抢断4封盖的大三双数据。

Jiang Hu has the most rebounds, steals and blocks on the court, but he is second on the team in scoring.

Because Leonard broke out today, he was in extremely good condition. He already scored 15 points in the first half. In the third quarter, he shot 8 of 8 from the field, including 3 of 3 three-pointers and 5 of 5 points. He made 2 of 2 shots and 21 of [-] free throws, scoring [-] points in a single quarter.

全场比赛，伦纳德拿到了38分12篮板6助攻3抢断3封盖的数据。

In this game, Jiang Hu and Leonard set a record. They became the second pair in history to score 30+ points, 10+ rebounds, 3+ blocks, and 3+ steals in a single game.

The last combination to accomplish this was not Wade and James, not Jordan and Pippen, but Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Yes, those two old men at the award ceremony.

In addition to the two of them, Horford also contributed 18 points and 10 rebounds, while Crowder also had 13 points and 6 rebounds on the bench.

For the Suns, Embiid contributed 21 points and had 6 turnovers, as well as 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

Simmons scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.

Regardless of the process or results of the game, this game is reasonable for both sides.

The Celtics have stronger talent and immediate combat power, and they will not be upset without making a lot of mistakes on both offense and defense.

Of course, the Celtics still exposed some shortcomings in this game, such as the lack of tacit understanding among the players.

Sometimes when Leonard plays alone, other teammates are watching and don't know how to cooperate.

In fact, this is normal. After all, everyone was not on the same team last season, so it is normal for them not to be familiar with each other.

At the post-match press conference.

76ers head coach Brett Brown said: "We worked very hard in this game, but they are stronger. We showed some good aspects in the game, including our counterattacks on the court and what we did at the basket. Not bad, but there are some obvious shortcomings that need improvement.”

"We need a more efficient and accurate offense, especially at critical moments where we need to better control the situation."

"Of course, we must also pay attention to our performance on the defensive end to avoid unnecessary fouls and low-level mistakes. Then we were unable to restrict Jiang and Leonard defensively, which also led to our overall collapse."

"Jiang's performance was outstanding. He led them to play a very overall offense and defense. We also tried our best, but the result was regrettable."

"All we can do is keep working hard and trust the process."

Brett Brown emphasized the role of Jianghu. Jianghu was very influential in this game. He made the 76ers very uncomfortable.

However, Jianghu saw the Celtics' shortcomings from this game, that is, their inside line is not strong yet. Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo will be influential figures in the East in the future, and it will not work without the right people to deal with them.

Therefore, Jianghu put forward his own ideas and suggestions to Anji after the game, and Anji readily accepted them and said that he would make arrangements.

Jiang Hu is a time traveler. As long as he makes some suggestions, if the management is willing to recruit players according to his ideas, it will be easy to sign good teammates. He only needs to select a few potential teammates and they can perform well after playing for several years.

He is more confident and will definitely defend his title this season.
