From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 101 Wharton: Migo's local basketball has declined.

Jianghu's buckle and Kanter's injury caused the game to be suspended for about 10 to 12 minutes.

This is the league's longest suspension in recent seasons.

People almost thought that Kanter was going to die. He bled so much that almost the entire floor near the basket was stained red. People who didn't know thought this was the scene of the murder.

If he really had an accident, then he is likely to become the first NBA player in history to die on the court.

It took three cleaners to clean repeatedly before the floor returned to the standard used in the competition.

When the timeout ended and the game continued, the Knicks players were a little absent-minded and lost their focus on the game.

This is just an ordinary regular season, no one wants to risk their lives, so when Jianghu rushed to the basket again, the first reaction of the Knicks inside was to avoid and let him go instead of fighting him.

At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics beat the Knicks 31 to 21.

江湖在第一节就10投7中，得到了15分5篮板2助攻1抢断2封盖。

As soon as the second quarter came up, Jianghu continued to attack the inside without stopping. The Knicks were afraid of confrontation, which was a good thing for him. He could give full play to his advantages and end the game as soon as possible.

开局他就连续冲击篮下3投3中，打岀一波个人的6比0小高潮，分差拉开到37比21。

Knicks coach Woodson called for a timeout, telling all Knicks players:
"This is just an accident. Everyone may have an accident. We can't treat accidents as normal. The game will continue. We must do our defense well."

Woodson called a timeout to strengthen the inside defense, but the main center Kanter was injured, and he had no choice but to let Porzingis mention the fifth position.

At the same time, he put Michael Beasley on the field, and the overall strength of the inside line became weaker.

His speech had an effect, and the Knicks' inside players finally recovered some defensive strength, but they still didn't dare to jump too high, because doing so might become the second Kanter.

Beasley will consume a lot of physical strength on the defensive end when facing Jianghu. It is better to let him lead the bench to score, and maybe he can still play beautiful statistics.

Back from the timeout, the Knicks attack.

The backup point guard, Trey Burke, who looks exactly like Iverson, and Porzingis played pick-and-roll in the middle, and the new McDermott screened for Beasley on the side.

After Trey Burke attracted Theis to switch defenses, he passed the ball to Beasley, who cut the bottom line on the right.

Beasley rushed to the basket and wanted to dunk the ball. He didn't pay attention to Jiang Hu at all, but rushed to the basket and was blocked by Jiang Hu from behind.

Jianghu often switches defenses to the fourth position and suffers from physical confrontation with heavy insiders, but his speed is very fast, and he is good at outside players who help defend and block breakthroughs.

After Beasley landed, he spread his hands and yelled at the referee for a foul and a free throw.

It's a pity that the ball was defended very cleanly, and he didn't care who he was, whether it was useful to spread his hands.

Maybe kneeling might be useful, the referee has seen too many splayed hands.

Just when Beasley was in full swing, Jianghu picked up a basketball and launched a fast break for Rozier.

Rozier advanced to the frontcourt and passed to Jianghu. Jianghu's breakthrough attracted Porzingis to defend, and used a coquettish no-look pass to Theis who followed behind.

After receiving the ball, Tays faced Konglan and scored a dunk with both hands.

Celtics 39:21 Knicks.

Walton said: "Compared to the beginning of the first quarter, the Knicks' attention has declined seriously. They just came back from a timeout for the first ball, and the opponent counterattacked when they failed to make a tactic. This is a serious damage to morale. .”

Hubie Brown said with a smile: "I think the world has been very restrained. He just had a chance to dunk Porzingis. He gave up and passed it to his teammates. He has given the Knicks a lot of face." .”

After this round, the game went completely far away. The Knicks put a lot of defensive attention on Jianghu, which led to Rozier getting a good chance. He quickly scored inside and scored consecutively. .

When Irving came back, Jianghu returned to playing without the ball. Like Klay Thompson, he ran crazily without the ball and then caught the ball.

He is faster than Thompson and has a higher shot point. Although he does not have the terrifying accuracy of Thompson, he is enough to pose a threat to the Knicks whose defense is declining.

At the end of the second quarter, he took six three-pointers and made three of them.

In the second quarter, he scored 15 points again. By the end of the half, he had 31 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Moreover, his shooting percentage was terrific. Since then, he has tried to hit the basket as much as possible, basically never throwing it.

At the end of halftime, the Celtics led the Knicks by 65 points 43 to 22. The huge point difference made the Celtics players relax a little at the beginning of the second half.

After only relaxing for 3 minutes, the Celtics were beaten by their opponents in a wave of 11-0 attacks.

Captain Jack on the opposite side showed his power frequently during this period, shooting from inside and outside, scored 7 points and 2 assists, helping the Knicks recover the score.

Stevens asked for a timeout. He knew that he had to make substitutions and adjust. A timeout could also slightly lower the morale of the opponent.

He asked Jianghu on the sidelines: "Jiang, you are in good shape today. I can let you play a little longer today. Besides, you need to change Jack frequently."

"Of course it's okay." Jianghu is waiting for this moment of limelight. He is the player with the strongest height, wingspan and speed in the team. Let alone Jack, he is not afraid of switching to Curry.

Hubie Brown said: "Stevens called a timeout in a timely manner. The Celtics' defense in the second half obviously went wrong. This season's Jarrett Jack predicted much stronger. He has scored 14 points and 3 Rebounds and 6 assists. All the Knicks scored in the second half were related to him, and even Porzingis' dunk opportunity was covered by him."

Bill Walton said: "Jianghu is now a trump card in Stevens' hands, which can play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. The Celtics replaced Jaylen Brown and replaced him with a stronger defensive player. Smart, with a two-guard lineup, Coach Stevens may want Jianghu to become the core of the team's offense."

Aaron smiled and said: "I don't think so, he is already the core of the team. If he doesn't have the ball in his hands, the Celtics' offense will become unsmooth. Irving has too many heads-ups."

The Celtics attacked, and Irving dribbled the ball across the half to organize.

Jianghu first ran to the basket from the left corner, and then circled out from the basket at full speed. Horford blocked Cornett Lee at the corner.

Jianghu made a circle on the court, received a pass from Irving outside the top three-point line, took two steps to the top of the arc on the right, and made a direct three-pointer.

He gained a lot of space through running, and his shots were fast and steady. Cornett Lee was more than one step slower and had no time to reach out.The ball draws a beautiful arc and hits the net hollow.

Celtics 68 to 54 Knicks.

"Beautiful, Jianghu hit his fourth three-pointer of the game, and his hands were so hot!" Wharton said loudly.

Hubie Brown said: "The Knicks have to strengthen their defense as soon as Jianghu comes on the court. The two inside players on the field are not moving fast, and they can't go out after changing defenses. They have to send faster and taller people to chase him. It is."

Hubie Brown is worthy of being a veteran commentator who has retired from the NBA coach, and he has a very precise grasp of the situation on the field.

It's a pity that he is just a bystander and can't make decisions for Woodson, and his statement is also suspected of talking on paper. The Knicks simply don't have a player who can match the size and speed of Jianghu.

The Knicks attacked, and something unexpected happened.

Jianghu is responsible for defending point guard Jarrett Jack, and Smart defends Beasley.Jack broke through with the ball, Baynes switched defenses, and Jianghu defended Porzingis in the middle to prevent empty cuts at the basket.

Jack saw the fierce battle in the middle, so he didn't pass the ball to Porzingis, and he made a small breakthrough and missed a layup.Smart took the rebound and it was a long pass. Jianghu turned around and got rid of Porzingis in an instant and rushed across the half court to catch the ball.

The rivers and lakes beat their chests and roared, 70 to 54.

Woodson on the bench felt something was wrong. The Celtics' tactics were arranged for counterattacks. After the dislocation, neither Jack nor Porzingis could keep up.

Hubie Brown sighed and said: "Jiang is in great form today. He scored 36 points at the beginning of the second half. He is likely to break his own record and score more than 45 points."

Bill Wharton continued: "Jianghu's temperament is very unique. I think he is not afraid of anyone. He dares to vent his emotions. This is very different from the Eastern players we have encountered before. They are always very reserved."

"With Jiang's birth, the younger generation of American players in the NBA are no longer comparable to players from all over the world."

Wharton shook his head and sighed: "Whether it's Giannis, Jianghu, or Porzingis, I can see in them the hope of ruling this alliance. A player of this type is lacking in strength and arrogance."
