From South China Tiger to NBA King

At the end of the three quarters, the Celtics took a 112-95 lead. The Nuggets' offensive status was not bad. Jokic, Harris, and Murray all hit three-pointers at the end of the quarter.

Jianghu played alone in this quarter and had few assists, but he scored 33 points and made 8 three-pointers. He has hit 12 three-pointers in the entire game and scored 60 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists.

The fans were very happy, cheering and applauding wildly.Fans don't care how many points other players score or what statistics they get.Many people now want to see Jianghu win 70+10!

The Celtics' 17-point lead is not garbage time, Jianghu can continue to play in the final quarter.

Everyone on the Nuggets was a little confused. They scored the most points in three quarters this season, but they were still lagging behind by a big score.

The Nuggets are not a strong offensive team. Malone's team attaches great importance to defense and rarely scores super high scores after coaching the Nuggets.

Last season, the Nuggets averaged only 103.5 points per game, ranking 18th in the league. They scored even less in the first few games of this season, with several games in which both sides scored less than 100 points.

The Nuggets coach and players couldn't see any hope of winning, and they were completely caught up in their opponents' rhythm.But if they want to play at the familiar slow pace, that would be like trapping themselves in a cocoon and they will lose miserably.

Michael Malone was at a loss and couldn't think of a way to limit the world.

The main reason is that Jianghu provided too many assists in the first half, giving people the impression that he would always assist his teammates without being able to double-team tightly.In the third quarter, Jianghu suddenly changed his style to grab points, catching the Nuggets off guard.

Do you want to resolutely surround Jianghu in the final stage?Michael Malone can't make up his mind.

If Jianghu doesn't score in the final quarter and just gives out a few assists, the Nuggets will become a super background like the Toronto Raptors.

60分+20助攻这种数据在NBA闻所未闻，能够拿到40分20助攻都是非常逆天的数据，更何况是更夸张的60+20。

Only 9 people in NBA history have achieved such an achievement of 30 points and 20 assists.

Ranked first is Oscar Robertson, who once scored 43 points and 20 assists in the game, and had 40+20 more than once.The second place is Archibald, who has also scored 40+20 assists many times, and the third place is Kevin Johnson, who has scored 37 points and 20 assists.

此外，库西得到31分28助攻，凯文波特得到32分22助攻，微笑刺客得到30分20助，魔术师也得到过32分20助攻，还有穆罕默德-阿布杜尔-拉乌夫也得到过30分20助攻。

Among the active players, the only one who has completed this honor is Westbrook. Others, not even James and Paul, have completed it. Paul is closer. He has completed 40+15 many times, but he has never completed 30. +20.

It is worth mentioning that those who obtain 30+20 data basically only get it once.

With the improvement of various NBA rules, it is very difficult to obtain such data.No one has produced such luxurious data for many years.Now, Jiang Hu is definitely capable of playing 60+20, as long as he wants to do so.

After thinking about it, Malone felt that it was better to defend him alone and let him score better. The worst he could do was let him score 70 points. Anyway, it was not like he had never scored against the Cavaliers and Warriors. He was still in the playoffs. Maybe he would have thought of 70+ points in Jianghu. , people’s first reaction is still the Cavaliers and Warriors, not the Nuggets.

"Joker, how do you think we should deal with him??" In the end, Malone threw the question to the team's star Nikola Jokic.

Because if the Nuggets really become the backdrop for a miracle in the world, Jokic will definitely be the player who is often ridiculed, so Malone feels that he is qualified to decide his own destiny.

Jokic thought for a moment, and finally gave his answer: "Let's defend alone and let him score. He really got 70+10, and we recognized it. This is his ability."

Seeing that Jokic's thoughts were surprisingly consistent with his own, Malone did not hesitate and quickly deployed defensive tactics in the final quarter.

Malone is not sure how Jianghu will play in the final quarter. The only adjustment he can make is to replace Jokic back on the court as soon as possible and strengthen the defense inside.He had a premonition that this would be of no use. Jianghu was shooting crazy from the outside and had terrifying speed. No matter who tried to guard him, he couldn't be guarded.

Jiang Hu originally had no goals, but after realizing that his hands were getting hot, he set a goal for himself.He still has to focus on scoring in the final quarter, and plans to score 80 points first for fun.

The active player with the highest score is himself, followed by Booker with 70 points. The two are in the same level in terms of the highest score in their personal careers.

But the Jianghu team was very disdainful of this matter. He never felt that Booker was on the same level as him and could be compared with him.

Therefore, in today's moment when his hands are bursting, he must seize the opportunity and widen the gap with everyone else currently playing.

As long as he scores 20 points in the final quarter, his personal scoring record in a single game will reach 80 points. With his current state, this is entirely possible.He would never pass up this opportunity to show his face.

What if he is double-teamed?Counterattack desperately. It will be difficult for your opponent to double-team during the counterattack.Furthermore, when his teammates are shooting, he has to actively rush for offensive rebounds and strive for second offensive opportunities, and he will admit if the defense misses someone.

The reporters all realized that big news was going to happen tonight, and they hoped that Jianghu could continue to score in the final quarter and set a career high.The media now loves Jianghu news, because he is the most watched player in the entire league, and there is a faint trend of surpassing James.

Just do it when you think about it, Jianghu directly told his coach Stevens about his idea of ​​getting a high score.

Stevens said: "I can't say that I am very supportive, it would seem that I am too utilitarian, but I don't think you will put your own data before the team's victory. So, you can lead us to win a game , by the way, would you like to let the fans watch your performance?"

Jiang Hu smiled and said: "Of course!!"

Stevens supported his decision and immediately arranged for his teammates to create opportunities for him like they did in the third quarter. Jianghu smiled and thanked him.

The teammates don't have any objections, as long as Jianghu doesn't play like this every time. Teammates don't dare to say anything on the surface, but deep down they will always have opinions about Jianghu.

At the beginning of the final quarter, the Nuggets players scored first.

Jokic screened his teammates, cut to the basket, received the pass with his back, turned around and hit the hook.

Celtics 112-97 Nuggets.

Morris Jr. was sent on the court again. Because Baynes got his fifth foul at the end of the three quarters, he took Horford's place at power forward, and Horford was moved to the center position.

Horford suffers from a certain height disadvantage when playing against Jokic, but his advantage is his shooting range. With Morris Jr. and Horford both on the court, the Celtics will have a lot of space and Jianghu can perform better.

Stevens' task for Horford is to defend and protect backcourt rebounds. After grabbing the rebound, he immediately passes it to his teammates to launch a quick counterattack.

In the Celtics position battle, all the players stretched to the three-point line, and the Nuggets did not dare to let anyone go. This defensive method also created ample room for breakthroughs.

Jianghu singled out Craig with the ball in the middle without any intention of passing the ball.

There was a layer of dense sweat on Craig's face, and he was very nervous.

Coach Malone's instructions kept echoing in his mind: "You must guard him and don't let him score too many points!!"

Jiang Hu had a very relaxed smile on his face.

He is not in a hurry. He knows that this state will definitely happen once or twice a season. If he cannot break the record today, it will be the same next time.

The difference in mentality caused the two people to have different pressures.

Jiang Hu continued to dribble the ball, and Craig looked at Jiang Hu without blinking.

Jianghu broke through and made a forward fake move. Craig immediately retreated to defend with his scalp numb.

He uses Harden's style of play, cross-stepping and testing. If the opponent's body moves sideways, he will step back and shoot. If the opponent leans forward, he will consider breaking through with the ball.As long as the player's physical fitness is good enough and his speed and strength are combined, he can force his way past anyone with a little space.

Jianghu saw the opportunity and made a step-back jumper with his right foot. Craig worked really hard. Even without taking advantage of the first step, he still managed to catch Jianghu in the face. However, Jianghu's hands were hot today and he glanced at the basket. It hit!
Celtics 115-97 Nuggets.

Yu Jia shouted excitedly: "Jianghu, this is my 13th three-pointer. Starting today, the NBA single-game three-pointer record will no longer be held exclusively by Stephen Curry. Jianghu will also have his name engraved on it." In the history of three-pointers."

The Nuggets attack, Jianghu defends Murray.

Even though Murray had a good touch today, Jianghu resolutely refused to prevent him from shooting and deliberately lowered his center of gravity to keep the distance.This is an insult to players who think they are very capable and star players.

But if Murray takes action, he feels like he has fallen into the opponent's trap, which is exactly what the opponent wants.If he doesn't shoot, he's not good at it. If he doesn't dare to take a shot in an open position, what kind of star is he?So shameful.

Murray's shooting percentage in the open space today was very high. Under the watchful defense of Jianghu, he scored another three-pointer from the left side.

Celtics 115-97 Nuggets.

The Celtics attacked, and Jianghu held the ball through the half, using exactly the same style of play as before.

This time his three-point shot missed due to interference.First, Morris relied on his stronger jumping ability than Millsap to get the ball out. Leonard picked up the basketball and passed it to Jianghu again.

Jiang Hu continued to shoot three-pointers. After taking the shot, he glanced at the basketball and rushed to the basket. He felt that the ball might not go in, and he predicted that the ball would bounce towards Horford.

Craig didn't follow very closely. He felt that he should have defended himself this round.

Just when he was negligent, Jianghu successfully grabbed the rebound from Horford and was one body away from Craig.

Jiang Hu took the ball and accelerated directly towards the basket, attracting Jokic to cover up and deliberately bumped into him. The two made physical contact, and then he tilted his body and threw the ball towards the basket.

The ball did not go in, but the referee blew the whistle for a defensive foul on Jokic, and Jianghu easily got two free throw opportunities.

He wouldn't bother to commit fouls when playing normally, but today's situation is different. There is a huge height and body gap between the two. Jokic's thigh steps up when he gets stuck, and the defensive area is large.

Jiang Hu deliberately seeks physical contact, and Jokic cannot avoid it.On the court, a big man defending a small man is more likely to be called for a foul, as long as the little man loses his center of gravity.

This is also the experience Jiang Hu has accumulated after playing for a season. Many stars will foul like this. Jiang Hu rarely played like this in the past, but he must know how to do this.

This foul was Jokic's fifth personal foul, but there was not much annoyance or dissatisfaction on his face. He acted very calmly.

He knew in his heart that he was studying with the prince during this game. He was still wondering why the Celtics players played so elegantly and no one made any small moves.

If someone makes a small move, I will directly compete with him and be punished openly, and no one will be able to say anything.

Coach Malone did not choose to substitute. He doesn’t want to win now, so he doesn’t need to worry about Jokic’s foul problem. He even wants Jianghu to commit another foul in the next round so that Jokic can reach six. The offenders were sent off so that they could surrender openly...

The master and apprentice's ideas once again maintained an amazing consistency.

Jiang Hu walked to the free throw line with a natural demeanor and made two free throws steadily.

Celtics 117-97 Nuggets.

The fans chanted "MVP" together again, and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic. All viewers watching the live broadcast in dozens of countries around the world were paying attention to Jianghu's data. He had already scored 65 points.

The Nuggets attack, Jokic plays pick-and-roll with his teammates at the top of the arc, looking for mismatch opportunities.

He gave the ball to Murray and then passed down, catching the ball at the free throw line and using a similar method to Jiang Hu to cause a defensive foul on Horford and get to the free throw line.

Now Horford also had five fouls, and Stevens took him off the court to rest.

Anyway, the team is now leading by a big score, and it doesn't matter if Horford doesn't play. SGA, the little fan of Jianghu, got a chance to perform in the final quarter.

Stevens likes to give opportunities to newcomers. In his view, youth means unlimited possibilities. He is very optimistic about SGA and thinks he is a good kid who will become a cornerstone figure in the Celtics' defense line in the future.

Jokic made two free throws, and the Celtics beat the Nuggets 117 to 99.

When Jianghu returned to defense, he noticed that Craig's face was extremely solemn. As a player known for his defense, he hated seeing the opponent's star scoring high scores but he couldn't do anything about it.

The Celtics attacked, and the new SGA provided Jiang Hu with an off-ball screen to help him catch the ball.

Jianghu took the ball outside the three-point line on the right side for a one-on-one challenge. Two people immediately stepped forward to double-team, leaving SGA open.

The players took matters into their own hands. They were afraid that Jianghu would score 60+20, but they were even more afraid that Jianghu would score an incredible score. No matter which outcome, it was not what they wanted.

The two surrounded Jiang Hu in the high post. Jiang Hu reacted quickly and did not dare to pause when taking the ball. He changed directions to the left at full speed and dribbled the ball through.

This is also the only breakthrough direction he can choose.His speed was too fast. After the change, both Murray and Craig became chasing defenders. SGA provided Jianghu with a screen to block Murray.

SGA is a rookie and his movements are rough. Rather than covering, he looks more like he is stuck. It looks like he is playing a post-up at the three-point line at the top of the arc.

This level of mobile screen is likely to be called a foul because they are the Celtics and not the Golden State Warriors.

But today is the home game of the Celtics, and the referee turned a blind eye to the screen foul and blew it loosely. SGA did this to help Jianghu.

There was a certain distance between the two people chasing him. Jiang Hu found an open position. He didn't hesitate, just picked it up and threw it away.

"Peng~"

"Brush~"

Another powerful three-pointer off the boards. Jiang Hu's one-shot shot was extremely powerful, and the goal was crisp and clean.

Zhang Weiping shouted happily: "Record broken, record broken!!"

"Jiang Hu's 68th point is also his 14th three-pointer. The new three-pointer record now belongs to Jianghu!!"

Yu Jia also shouted excitedly: "A new page in history has been successfully written by Jianghu. In the past, this name belonged to Stephen Curry's 13 three-pointers, but now it belongs to Jianghu's 14 three-pointers!!"

"More importantly, the game is not over yet, Jianghu still has the opportunity to continue to refresh this record!!"
