From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 85 The NBA is easier to score than the CBA

115 to 101, the Celtics beat the Cavaliers by 14 points in the away game.

Rivers and lakes have changed history.

In the original game in history, the Celtics eventually lost 99 to 102.

欧文出战了36分钟，17投9中砍下25分7篮板5助攻，他是末节决定比赛的最大功臣。

勒布朗·詹姆斯出战了39分钟，24投9中，砍下了27分16篮板9助攻。

Only four rebounds away, he can do what he did at the age of 38, but unfortunately, he is destined not to have this opportunity.

Jianghu's data is the most luxurious in the game, 20 of 15 shots, 3 of 9 6-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, his shooting percentage has reached 75%, and his three-point shooting percentage is also a terrifying 66%. Wilt Chamberlain has maintained the 57-year NBA debut scoring record.

After Jianghu shook hands with the ugly-looking Cavaliers, he didn't have time to leave the arena.

Because he was blocked by reporters from CCTV.

Teacher Zhang Weiping immediately ran down from the commentary stage after the commentary was over, and started working as a reporter on the spot.

Zhang Weiping smiled and asked: "How about Xiao Jiang, he scored 44 points in the first game of his NBA career, breaking the scoring record of the basketball emperor Wilt Chamberlain. How do you feel at this moment?"

Jiang Hu wiped his sweat with a towel, and said with a smile:

"Be happy, I didn't even think about it before the game."

"In fact, the main reason is that the opponents don't pay much attention to me. They don't know me very well, and they don't have any special defensive arrangements."

"Because it was the first time I played against a player of James' level, I was very excited. The more excited I felt, the better I felt, the more I dared to shoot. Finally, I broke the record without knowing it. "

Zhang Weiping: "Is there anything you want to say to the Chinese fans in front of the TV? In China, there are countless fans watching you in front of the TV right now!"

Jianghu scratched his head, and then said: "Thank you for the fans' support all the time. The reason why I am so motivated to play in this unfamiliar environment is the support and expectation of domestic fans. I think it is the most important. I don’t know what I’m playing for.”

"One more thing, I want to say something to my domestic media friends: please keep a low profile when writing news..." Jiang Hu said with a slightly embarrassed face.

"Don't write anything: "Jianghu smiles slightly, has won the trust of the head coach" such a title."

"It's really embarrassing..."

What Jianghu said instantly brought back the memories of the old fans in front of the TV, including the director Zhang Weiping who was present, he couldn't hold back, and let out a hearty laugh.

................................................

He casually accepted a few words from the CCTV interview on the sidelines, and Jiang Hu returned to the locker room. There will be a press conference later. He is the protagonist of today, and he will definitely participate.

It doesn't work if you don't want to.

Walking into the locker room, as expected, this group of teammates had already made preparations.

Almost everyone was holding two bottles of mineral water in their hands, and the moment Jianghu entered the door, they screamed and drenched him into a drenched chicken.

This is the team culture in the NBA. When a player breaks a record, he should be celebrated like this.

Jianghu is no exception. If he wants to survive in this team in the United States, he must accept American culture.

Jianghu smiled and was drenched in the cold, and then smiled back at everyone, the atmosphere was very happy.

Jianghu quickly integrated into this team. Unlike other compatriots who traveled through time, Jianghu didn't choose to follow the ass of any star to make a living, but chose to become a star himself.

This will come more directly and get more respect.

Here, no one will discriminate against him.

In other words, no one dared to discriminate against him.

During the off-season, teammates may still respect Angie because of his face, because he is a "princeling".

But it was different after this game, and everyone's attitude towards him was obviously more sincere.

Because Jianghu has just turned 19 years old, but he has already broken Wilt Chamberlain's debut scoring record.

Everyone can see that he must be an All-Star in the future, or even a superstar.

No matter where such a person goes, they are the absolute core of team building, and no one will discriminate against such a person.

Even if you feel uncomfortable watching Jianghu, you can only hold it in your heart silently.

If it is accidentally revealed, it is likely to be traded.

The NBA is such a league that respects strength. When you succeed, everyone around you will fawn on you. When you fail, others don't mind stepping on it.

Jianghu has already stood out from the competition. After Hayward was reimbursed for the season due to injury, he is destined to become one of the core players.

The coaching staff needs him to digest the possession left by Hayward, and the players also need him to attract the defense and create good scoring opportunities for themselves.

This is a fair deal where both parties get what they want.

After a simple celebration, the players went to take a bath and tidy up their appearance.

After getting dressed, Owen found Jianghu and patted him on the shoulder:

"How about it? I fought against LeBron for the whole game. Are there any bruises on my body? Tomorrow is back-to-back, can I stand it?"

Jiang Hu saw it in the shower, it should be because of the beginning of the season, the physical resistance James gave was not high, and there were no bruises or bruises on his body.

"No, I feel very comfortable. Today's confrontation is completely within my tolerance."

Owen smiled and said, "That's great. We're going to fight the Bucks tomorrow. I don't like that arrogant Greek. I hope you can blow him up."

Owen's words were full of dissatisfaction with Brother Antetokounmpo, and Jiang Hu couldn't figure out why.

Jianghu looked into Owen's eyes seriously and said, "I think you should be careful about that Greek, he is not a kind and good boy."

Jianghu thinks of Antetokounmpo and Irving in 2021. The Big Three of the Nets that year had the potential to win the championship.

But in the end they were "set the country with one foot" by Brother Antetokounmpo.

"No, although he doesn't play cleanly, he probably won't do dirty things."

Owen, who had just left James' shelter, hadn't realized the dangers of the basketball world, and he didn't take the reminders from the world to heart.

However, Jianghu himself kept his eyes open. After all, he hadn't gotten the [Injury Immunity] in the exchange shop yet, so he had to be careful when facing Brother Antetokounmpo's shadowless feet.

Owen didn't care about Jianghu's reminder, but changed the subject and said excitedly:
"I think as long as you guarantee the current state, we can beat all the Eastern Conference teams and reach the finals to compete with the Warriors."

"At that time, no one will say that I can't do without LeBron."

Obviously, Irving did not regret the decision to leave the Cavaliers, but at the same time, the influence of public opinion brought him a lot of pressure on his record.

It seems that he doesn't care much about shooting rights and statistics, and cares more about whether the team has a chance to compete for the championship in the playoffs.

What Owen said was very straightforward. He just wanted to prove himself after leaving James, but when he heard Jianghu's ears, he heard other meanings.

Owen hopes that Jianghu will maintain its current state, which means that he approves of Jianghu's right to take action.

After all, Irving is currently the leader of this team on the books, and it is a great thing to get his approval.

Jianghu looked at Horford again, and found that Horford also had a look of relief on his face.

Obviously, when it comes to the right to shoot, Horford's attitude is very Buddhist, and he has no interest in competing at all.

Jianghu finally discovered the biggest benefit of being selected by this team.

That is, this team not only maintains the competitiveness of the playoffs, but at the same time, there is no big guy in the team who really overwhelms the pack.

Hayward, the undisputed direct descendant of Stevens, is now injured.

Horford's personality is focused on defense, and he is indifferent to the world.

Irving also had no foundation at the beginning, and his leadership was unable to conquer young people.

Jianghu doesn't have to go through the messy intrigue in the locker room, just relying on his own strength to become one of the core.

Jianghu recalled the experience during this period:

I just participated in a Chicago United trial, and defeated Jimmy Butler in a burst of form, and was selected as the No. [-] pick.

After the main star was injured, he once again burst into form, defeated LeBron James' team, and then became one of the core of a strong playoff team.

This feeling of going smoothly all the way is really—exciting.

When Jianghu was still enjoying himself, Stevens walked in with his arms folded.

"Let's go, Jiang, Carey, Marcus, follow me to the press conference."

Post-match press conference.

The Cavaliers' press conference came first, and the Celtics' press conference came after.

Since the team lost in the home opener, the coaches and players of the Cavaliers were not in high spirits. They just made a few perfunctory remarks and asked to leave.

LeBron James: "He's good, uses his strengths, and is smart."

JR Smith: "His impact and speed are very strong, and the Celtics' No. [-] pick is not wasted."

Tristan Thompson: "He's a tough guy, like me. I play tough defense and he plays tough offense."

"Dunk?? That's okay, everyone who defends seriously will be dunked, unless you paddle!!"

But the reporters are not so easy to fool. James can say a few words and run away, but you have to leave someone to deal with the aftermath. If the whole team can’t say a few words in the interview, do you still want to vote after the season? up?
There is no way, the person who stays in the end has to be the master tactician-Tyron Lu.

So many reporters asked Tyronn Lue, asking him to evaluate Jianghu.

Tyronn Lu turned his big piercing eyes, thought for a while and said:
"Jiang is rare in the league, and can even be said to be the only one."

"Obviously, it is difficult for us to put aside the issue of skin color. After all, there are too few yellow-skinned people in the league. I have only seen one person who can play like him, and that is my former teammate. Yao Ming."

"Even despite the color of his skin, he's one of the best young guys I've ever seen, with great athleticism, a good shot and a big heart."

"He also made me have a different impression of people with yellow skin. It turns out that they can run as fast as us, and then jump up and smash the ball into the basket."

"His athleticism is amazing, I remember him dunking four or five dunks in the game, with such a size with such athleticism and a very good shooting ability, it's hard not to think Another former teammate of mine -- Tracy McGrady."

The reporters below sighed, Grandpa Lu, you have so many former teammates...

Jordan, Kobe, O'Neal, James, Howard, Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady are all big-name players that everyone is familiar with.

"I believe that in terms of his talent, 44 points is definitely not his limit. In 5-8 years, he will score 60 points on a certain night."

"Trust me, my vision is very accurate!!"

Tyronn Lu's face was full of confidence, and his words expressed his infinite optimism for Jianghu.

No way, don't brag about the world, someone will blame him later:
"Blind command"

"No defense, no tactics"

"It can only be filled with chicken soup."

He knew exactly what those people would say about him after the game.

And he is really optimistic about Jianghu.

He believes that the most important thing for young people is athletic ability, but the most difficult thing to cultivate is shooting ability, singles ability, and excellent psychological quality, and Jianghu has already initially possessed these items.

As the Cavaliers' press conference ended, the Celtics players came to the scene.

As soon as Jianghu appeared, he became the focus, countless guns and short cannons shot at him wildly, and his eyes were almost blinded by the white light.

When Jianghu sat down, the reporters immediately began to ask questions impatiently.

A senior white female reporter said: "Congratulations, Jiang, you scored the highest score in the game today and broke Chamberlain's 57-year record. What do you think about this?"

"I'm very happy, very happy, it's an honor to surpass the record of the basketball emperor, no doubt, but I'm not happy about the scoring record, but that we won."

"Without wins, all the stats mean nothing, and I think that's how most people in this league feel."

"But winning is not something I can do alone, it's a game where all of us contribute."

"I made a lot of shots, Al protected the rebound, guarded the paint, Kyrie hit the game-killing goal, in short, everyone did their best to win the Eastern Conference championship last season."

Another reporter asked: "Jiang, in this game, in addition to breaking Chamberlain's scoring record, you also surpassed LeBron James' record for the youngest Mr. 40+. What do you think about this?"

Um? ?

Even breaking this record, Jianghu really didn't care...

Seeing Jianghu's doubts, the reporter said again:
“历史最年轻40分先生的原记录属于勒布朗·詹姆斯，他在2004年3月27日砍下了41分6篮板13助攻，以19岁88天的年龄打破了这个记录，你的生日是1998年9月13日，砍下40分的年龄是19岁33天，因此你目前成为了新的记录保持者。”

"Are you confident in breaking more youngest records in the future?"

"Oh, thanks!!"

Hearing the reporter's explanation, Jiang Hu suddenly realized...

Then I couldn't help sighing: Muddy horse, the statistics of this NBA are really complete, and there are statistics on everything.

In the next second, he thought of one thing.

In front of James, breaking James' record...

This is: Husband is currently guilty? ? ?
I think so, but he definitely wouldn't say that, but said modestly:
"LeBron has achieved great things, I'm just getting started."

"However, I am surprised to be able to break this record. As for other records? I'm sorry, I haven't thought about this issue at the moment, I just want to work hard to play every game well."

"My former coach told me that the season is a long journey. It is normal to have ups and downs. You can't think that you are the best in the world after a game. This is unrealistic."

The reporter got his own answer and sat down satisfied.

The next middle-aged male reporter stood up: "Jiang, hello, I am Smith Holmes, a reporter from American Sports, first of all congratulations on your victory in this game, this is your first game NBA games, how do you feel about NBA games? How is it different from Chinese leagues?"

Huh, interesting...

The question Holmes raised immediately aroused the interest of all the reporters present...

They want to hear how Jianghu will evaluate the NBA, and will he criticize his own country's league?
"It feels pretty good. There are a lot of spectators and the atmosphere is very lively."

"NBA and CBA are completely different game environments. In comparison, the NBA is more professional, while the CBA has many friends I know well."

"but……"

Jianghu suddenly changed the subject.

"Compared to the CBA league, I think it's easier to score in the NBA. Our country's league has smaller courts, but here in the NBA there is a three-second rule, so I think it's easier to score here."

silence……

deathly silence...

The reporters in the audience looked at each other, all showing expressions of disbelief.

Is there something wrong with my ears, or something wrong with his mouth? ?

Only the Chinese reporters present couldn't help but smile after looking at each other.

"The meaning of Jianghu should be: NBA rules are easier to score than FIBA ​​rules."

"But they seem to have misunderstood something..."

Looking at the shocked reporters in the audience, Jiang Hu also had a narrow smile on his face.

"Sorry, Qiqi, this forced me to pretend for you first..."
