From South China Tiger to NBA King

Bridges hit 2+1, and the score came to the Celtics 15-10 Hornets.

Jianghu dribbled the ball across half court and called Gasol for a pick-and-roll. Gasol blocked Bridges tightly and was unable to interfere with Jianghu at all.

Jiang Hu takes the shot confidently and hits a three-pointer with his hand! ! !

"Brush~"

Celtics 18 to 10 Hornets.

Zhang Weiping said: "Jianghu will definitely score more than 20 points in the first quarter. Now he has scored 18 points in all his shots. He scored as soon as he counterattacked."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Defending against Jianghu is now a headache for all coaches in the league except Stevens. You must use a swing man to interfere with shooting, but people taller than him cannot keep up with him and are easily caught. Get rid of him. Anyone he plays now looks like a mismatch. Only top-quality players like Jordan and James can guard him, and even George can't."

Zhang Weiping smiled and said: "In the past, people thought that 198cm was the perfect height for basketball players. Now many people think that players with strong physical fitness of 203-213cm are more difficult to guard. Since the new century, James, Jianghu, and Durant have all been of this type. The players are really all killers."

Hornets coach Crawford sat on the sidelines, looking confused and helpless. He didn't even bother to stand up and shout from the sidelines, and he couldn't stop shouting. Before the game started, some media predicted that the Hornets' shabby defense might cause an explosion.

Now, it's just the time when the prediction comes true, nothing special.

The scenery on the Celtics' bench is completely different. Stevens is there with his legs crossed, and he is gradually gaining the air of a famous coach. He won't stand

Stevens would not require Jianghu to play team basketball. In the past, when he first took office, he emphasized teamwork and allowed players to constantly share the ball. This was because the stars' personal abilities were insufficient, and some stars were also players with abnormal play styles like Thomas.

Now, when the team has a superstar, or two, who doesn't like individual heroism?

Stevens feels that if there is a star on the team who has the ability to win 10 scoring titles and the coach insists on letting him play team basketball and reduce his shots, that is a crime and that coach should go to jail.

The Hornets attack, Parker holds the ball and advances upfield, Jianghu is responsible for defending him! ! !

Facing Jianghu, Parker made a change of direction with the ball, but he was no longer the French sports car he used to be. He gained a small step of space, but Jianghu soon caught up with him.

He could only stop the ball and pass it to Batum who ran out from the right. Batum wanted to pass the ball to Bridges, but the person guarding him was Leonard. Bridges was caught by Leonard. The ball is difficult.

On the contrary, there was less pressure on Batum's side. Jaylen Brown's eyes were always paying attention to Batum's pass, and he gave him a step away. Batum directly shot a three-pointer!!!

Missed!!

Leonard grabbed the rebound, dribbled the ball across half court, and passed it to Jianghu at the top of the arc. Jianghu's touch was so good. He wanted to test how good his touch was, so he simply faced Bridges' defense. Shoot a three-pointer!!!

Bridges was surprised that his defense didn't cause much interference to Jiang Hu's shots.

Basketball is like a rainbow shining through the sun! Straight into the heart of the internet! !

Celtics 21 to 10 Hornets.

The Hornets attack and Parker dribbles the ball through half court!!

Cody Zeller hit the ground and passed the ball. When Leonard came to defend him, he cut the ball and went directly out of bounds! !

Bridges received the serve from outside the three-point line, feinted a shot, then went in, faced Leonard, and hit a fadeaway jumper! !

hit.

Celtics 21 to 12 Hornets.

Bridges obviously knew that today's game, which was broadcast live across the country, was an opportunity for him to show his face, so he started with full firepower and took action as much as he wanted.

It is not Jianghu's task to defend Bridges. Jianghu even asked him to be more accurate so that he could play more time.

Jianghu dribbled across half the court, organized from the front, and passed to Leonard at the top of the key.

Leonard's mid-range jump shot Jump Shot, hollow into the net! ! !

Celtics 23 to 12 Hornets.

Five minutes into the game, the Celtics had not missed a single shot. The audience on the bench gradually began to have a bad feeling.

The Hornets attacked, and Jianghu stopped pressing forward.

He and Leonard played a pressing defense together, causing the opponent to make mistakes. It is indeed easy to score through quick counterattacks, but the opponent will certainly not be able to withstand it and will easily enter garbage time.

Tony Parker, who has been in the NBA for many years, knows very well that the world is letting go. If the opponent defends seriously, it will be difficult for him to dribble the ball past half court.

After playing for a while, he could see the gap between himself and the top stars in the world. His physical fitness was simply incompetent. If he could still score some points with his speed when he was young, he couldn't now.

Parker was just about to try to break through, but found that Jianghu was two meters away. Parker Wile was very depressed and couldn't laugh or cry.

How much does this kid look down on him to defend like this?

Although I am old, I am still a core figure in the Spurs' four championships. Are you guarding me like this?

Moreover, Jiang Hu seemed to be afraid that he would not have the confidence to take action. He was still far away and did not lower his center of gravity. He just stood there with his hands on his hips and shook his legs to watch the show.

Facing this kind of defense, it would be embarrassing for players not to make a shot, and it would be even more embarrassing for players not to dare to make a shot.

Parker didn't pass the ball to his teammates. He felt that he couldn't do this kind of ball without shooting it. He was sorry for his title of champion defender and big-hearted player.

He withstood the pressure and hit a three-point jump shot from the middle.

Celtics 23 to 15 Hornets.

Zhang Weiping sighed: "Jianghu started to lose his guard. He just stood and watched. He defended every turn and played every turn. It would be easy for others to think that he was playing a big game."

Yu Jia laughed and said: "If any other player had done this, he would have been replaced by the coach long ago. He doesn't have to play anymore on the bench. He has to correct his attitude first. Jianghu doesn't want it. It doesn't matter how he plays. It's just fun."

"When others say you are acting like a big name, you'd better be a big name, so that others will have nothing to say."

Zhang Weiping smiled and said: "It's impossible to lose against the Hornets anyway. The entire Celtics team has this confidence."

The Celtics attacked, and Jianghu was tightly guarded and ran around without getting an easy shot.

He took the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Horford, changed the direction of the pendulum to the right, and passed it to Leonard on the outside.

Leonard made an open three-point jumper and hit the net.

Celtics 26 to 15 Hornets.

Yu Jia said: "It's this kind of ball again. When the opponent double-teams, there will be a big open space. The Hornets let Leonard shoot easily like this? It's also a cup of poison!!"

Zhang Weiping said: "If the Hornets players don't double-team, Jianghu can score by himself. Double-team him. He just passes the ball and there is always a way to make a difference."

The Hornets attacked, and Jianghu listened to the boos and knew that his act of letting go was discovered by the Hornets' home audience, who were despising him.

He had no choice but to restrain himself a little and lay in front of Parker.

Parker dribbled the ball across half court, but still didn't hit it. Instead, he passed it to Batum in the corner. Batum fired past Jaylen Brown, strode into the paint with a long stride, and fired a shot! !

Hollow into the net! ! ! Celtics 26 to 17 Hornets.

The Celtics attacked and Jianghu held the ball for half the game.

Gasol and Horford have both reached the penalty area and lured away the big man. At this time, if there is a double team, they have to force a double attack from the outside, leaving Leonard or Jaylen Brown free.

The Hornets players felt uncomfortable because Batum did not double-team. Because Leonard just made a three-pointer and his hands are hot now, he may catch the ball and score in succession.

Jiang Hu dribbled the ball continuously from the right side of the center to catch a step-back jumper, avoided Bridges' block, and missed due to interference.

The ball didn't go in, but the opportunity was already available.

Batum dribbled the ball across half court, changed the direction of the pendulum, and threw it to Bridges on the outside. Bridges cut diagonally into the penalty area and made an underhand layup! !

beep! The whistle sounds!!

Bridges caused Leonard's foul! ! !

Bridges goes to the free throw line and gets two free throws! !

This is bad news for the Celtics, that is, Leonard fouled twice. Katz was in average condition today, but he was hit with two fouls by a rookie like Bridges in the first quarter for the first time.

Fortunately, the Celtics are well-equipped with sufficient personnel, and the foul crisis of the second team leader is not a problem at all.

The Celtics replaced Morris Jr., and the Hornets also took the opportunity to get back Kemba Walker.

Brother Kazi went down, and the most excited person was of course Walker, because he was free and no longer had to be haunted by death all day long.

Jiang Huqi dribbled the ball across half court and faced Bridges

A pendulum changes direction, attracting double teams and throwing to Morris on the outside.

Morris Jr. takes an open three-pointer! ! !

No! !

Jiang Hu rushed over to grab the offensive rebound, took a shot directly from the basket, and put the basket in.

Celtics 28 to 19 Hornets.

Walker dribbled the ball across half court and exchanged hands with Bridges. Brown rushed to cut the ball. The basketball was knocked out of bounds by Brown and the Hornets passed the ball in the frontcourt.

Cody Zeller came to serve the sideline ball, and Bridges received the ball and gave it to Kemba Walker, who had just come on the right side.

Walker almost shed tears when he saw that the defender in front of him was no longer Leonard, but Jaylen Brown.

It's so miserable. Leonard treats him like a chicken, and he has to defend the world. It's simply inhumane.

Fortunately, the sky has eyes, so I can watch the clouds clear and see the moon.

Facing Jaylen Brown, Kemba Walker shot a three-pointer! ! !

All said and done, defense has never been Jaylen Brown's strong point. He has a gentle personality and does not make many defensive moves, so he cannot put psychological pressure on his opponents.

"Brush~"

Walker's three-pointer passed through the net like a sharp sword.

Jianghu dribbled the ball through half the court and asked Bridges for a one-on-one challenge! !

Jianghu made a forward change of direction and passed Bridges in an instant. Batum came up to double-team, and Jianghu passed to Jaylen Brown in the bottom corner.

Jaylen Brown accelerated his breakthrough, got rid of the defense and threw a one-handed throw, but failed to hit.

Walker dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Batum in the bottom corner. Batum broke through and scored the ball, and continued to score Bridges in the bottom corner.

The continuous scoring made Bridges feel that he was so powerful that he actually chose to take action directly against Jianghu. Jianghu could let him go, but he would never let go of someone who was scoring consecutively with a hot touch when the difference in points was not that big.

That's not called letting go, that's called being brain-drained.

Under the interference of Jianghu, Bridges increased the arc of his shot.

Not in.

Jianghu counterattacked with a rebound and passed it to Jaylen Brown who was about to go down from the left. As a result, Jaylen Brown was angrily given a block by Cody Zeller who was returning to defense.

Horford received the serve and passed the ball to Morris. Morris broke through, attracted a double team and then passed the ball to Jianghu. Jianghu pulled the ball away and took a three-pointer without hesitation!!!

Hold the moon bow with one finger! Break the sky with ten fingers! !

With a three-pointer, Jianghu still had a 26% shooting rate and scored his [-]th point.

Celtics 31 to 19 Hornets.

In the second half of the first quarter, Stevens replaced Jaylen Brown and replaced him with Danny Green, a 40D shooter who shot nearly 3% of his three-pointers.

The Celtics' formation was even wider, and the Hornets' inside players couldn't reach the top of the arc to double-team.

The Hornets players, except for center Cody Zeller, retreated very quickly and prevented the Celtics from counterattacking.

In positional battles, the Celtics' main tactic is to distribute the ball after receiving the ball outside the three-point line or holding the ball in a one-on-one duel.

If Leonard goes down, Stevens will naturally not let Jiang Hu go down to rest. Not only will he not have a rest, but he will also maximize Jiang Hu's influence.

At this time, only Batum on the wing is suitable for double-teaming. Even if Walker comes to double-team Jianghu, it will be useless because it will be difficult to block shots.

Jianghu has many options for passing the ball. Pass it to Brown, who can also catch the ball or cut for a layup. Pass it to Horford and Gasol for a mid-range shot. Pass it to Green, who can take a three-pointer from the outside.

It's easy for Jianghu to beat Bridges in isolation. He has never been good at defense. There is no difference between beating him in Jianghu and Kemba Walker.

After a while, the Celtics hit two more three-pointers, all of which were moves from the outside. After breaking through, they attracted the defense and Danny Green made an open jump shot.

Zhang Lili said: "Jianghu's style of play can drive defenders crazy. He can hit people one meter from the three-point line, break through to the basket and dunk, and he can accurately deliver the ball to the pitcher's hands without any damage. , there are all kinds of tricks that can help the team score, it’s simply unreasonable.”

Yu Jia said: "The Celtics' offense is good, and the Hornets' offense today is not bad either. All the starters scored. When playing against the Celtics, the opponent will score more points, which is a major feature."

Zhang Weiping said: "Because the team's offensive and defensive transition rhythm has become faster, and they play more rounds. You can't beat the Celtics by grinding the position. Jianghu and Leonard's scoring efficiency in the league is the only combination of James and Durant." The talent is barely comparable, and other teams can only work together.”

In the last few minutes of the first quarter, Jiang Hu was still on the court, but he did not score any new points because he had attracted a lot of defense and it was time to pass more passes to his teammates.

After all, this is a five-on-five sport, and it is difficult for one person to defeat a team.

The scoring efficiency of both sides has dropped somewhat, but at the end of the first quarter, the Celtics still led 42 to 31.

于嘉说：“第一节比赛结束了，我们来看看江湖的表现，三分球6中6，两分球4中4，仅用10次出手就获得了26分6篮板6助攻的数据。”

Zhang Weiping shook his head: "It's too exaggerated. He alone achieved data that only others could achieve in one game. It's unbelievable, unbelievable."

Yu Jia said excitedly: "I'll check it out. This data should be the first in history."

As he spoke, he opened the data website on his computer. About 10 seconds later, Yu Jia shouted excitedly: "Yes, first in history. There has never been a single quarter of 25+5+5 in history. 26+ 6+6 is out of the question!!”
