From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 88
As soon as the second half came up, the Celtics blew the horn of counterattack.

Jianghu was the first to shoot. He scored the ball against the double-teaming of Antetokounmpo and Middleton and caused a foul.

After the goal, Jiang Hu let out a roar, venting his emotions.

In the next round, Smart, who was repeatedly emptied, made a contribution on the defensive end, causing Antetokounmpo's offensive foul.

Looking back, it was Jianghu again, with Horford's screen, rushing to the bottom corner to receive a pass from Irving, and then hit a three-pointer.

As soon as he came back from the second half, Jianghu made consecutive shots, and while his personal score reached 19 points, he pulled the difference between the two teams to 8 points.

The Bucks beat the Celtics 56 to 48.

The Bucks this season are not so easy to bully. Brogdon turned around and made a jumper over Irving's head to stabilize the point difference.

Looking back, Jianghu was flanked again. He passed the ball to Irving from the baseline, and Irving got a half-open opportunity.

Three-point shot, no shot.

"what……"

The fans at the scene let out a disappointed sigh. Irving's hand feeling today is really bad.

The Bucks' counterattack was not over yet. Middleton made a three-pointer and missed, but Antetokounmpo grabbed an offensive rebound.

His layup under the basket missed.

But he grabbed the offensive rebound again...

Continue to put the basket, still not in.

But this time he grabbed the offensive rebound and dunked the ball.

And caused Horford's fourth foul.

Grab three consecutive offensive rebounds in one possession...

The emotional Antetokounmpo raised his arms and roared at the fans in North Shore Garden, with a fierce look on his face.

Seeing such a scene, the commentator couldn't help but exclaim:
"Giannis Antetokounmpo, from Greece, the birthplace of ancient mythology, ushered in another evolution this season. He is extremely fierce, like an ancient general..."

After this goal, the Celtics requested a timeout again.

Stevens' face was ugly, but he didn't have many options, and no one inside was available, which was the biggest problem facing him right now.

However, he still showed his characteristics of flexibility and strong on-the-spot command.

With a big wave of his hand, Smart was taken, Irving was taken, Rozier was replaced, and Caruso was replaced.

Smart's shooting confidence has obviously collapsed. Although Kyrie Irving's confidence has not collapsed, his touch is also ridiculously poor.

Since the inside line is not good, just ignore it and focus on the outside line.

"Finger Giannis for me, try to get him the ball on the outside, don't let him go inside."

"Jiang will pass the ball when he encounters a pincer. If you have an opportunity from the outside line, shoot as soon as possible. Don't hesitate."

The replaced lineup is centered on Jianghu, with Rozier and Caruso attacking and defending, Jaylen Brown responding, and Baynes covering.

The Bucks still continue to double-team the rivers and lakes.

But this time the ball from the rivers and lakes was not let down.

Rozier and Caruso hit three-pointers one after another, and Jaylen Brown also seized the mid-range opportunity.

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Celtics played an 18-9 offensive climax. Jianghu sent 5 assists in this offensive climax.

The Bucks beat the Celtics 67 to 66.

With one point remaining, the Bucks requested a timeout.

Kidd also showed his wisdom and gave his coping method.

After all, he is a coach from a point guard background, and he is also a person who ranks high in assists in history. It is too nonsense to understand tactics at all.

"Giannis, stop catching the ball on the perimeter."

"You are in this position."

Kidd pointed to both sides of the free throw line on the tactical board, and where the two horns of the three-point line came in.

"Catch the ball and go to the hoop and try to kill them as much as possible."

"If someone can't move in the pinch and can't make a foul, then pass to the outside, and I will give you all the shooters."

"Della, you don't have to worry about anything when you catch the ball, just shoot."

"Kris (Middleton), if you catch the ball, shoot if you have a good chance, and if you don't, break through. They shouldn't pinch you."

"Beep—" the game continued.

In the first round of the game, the tactics deployed by the Bucks failed.

Jianghu stood in front of Antetokounmpo, and was hit by his elbow in the face, which also caused Antetokounmpo's offensive foul.

"Oh……"

Seeing Antetokounmpo fouled by the rivers and lakes, the fans cheered enthusiastically.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Jianghu switched offense, came to the frontcourt and directly threw a three-pointer against Middleton's defense.

Middleton's height and wingspan are no match for Jianghu.

The Bucks hadn't landed in the pincer attack, Jianghu chased the body and scored a three-pointer, overtaking the score.

"Fuck!!"

Jiang Hu, who had been pinched for a whole field, smashed his chest angrily, and roared out.

The Bucks beat the Celtics 67 to 69.

Jianghu hit a crucial key goal.

Looking back, the tactics deployed by the Bucks did not work out. Antetokounmpo broke through the free throw line with the ball, and lost the ball just after taking a step.

It was Delavinova again, grinning fiercely and pounced on Jaylen Brown, forcefully snatching the ball back.

Then it was passed to Middleton on the outside. Middleton still didn't score. This time he grabbed an offensive rebound and threw himself in the air.

Caused a shooting foul in Jianghu.

The basketball rolled several times on the rim, and finally fell into it.

"Ugh……"

Once again, Celtics fans let out a sigh of disappointment.

The Bucks beat the Celtics 70 to 69.

After scoring a goal, there was no suitable fast break opportunity in Jianghu this time, and he encountered a pincer attack again.

Passed to Rozier on the outside, Rozier failed to hit a three-pointer this time.

Antetokounmpo grabbed offensive rebounds and wanted to forcibly switch offense and force speed.

"Snapped."

Jianghu directly fouled first, preventing him from fast break this time.

It was the turn of the positional battle. This time Antetokounmpo took the ball from the free throw line to break through, and double-teamed again. Antetokounmpo passed to Thorne Maker on the outside.

This is where the Celtics can play outside.

But Maker withstood the pressure and hit the open three-pointer.

The Bucks beat the Celtics 73 to 69.

In the last 1 minute of the third quarter, the two teams fought each other, and neither scored. The two sides entered the fourth quarter with such a score.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Jianghu, who had no rest in the third quarter, sat on the court to rest.

Stevens switched back to Irving and asked him to lead the team, wanting to see if his touch recovered.

Owen showed his excellent dribbling skills as soon as he came up, continuous crotch dribbling, various ways of dribbling, the ball seemed to stick to his hands and would never fall.

But it's useless to dribble nicely.

He used continuous disguises and continuous fake moves to directly sway Dellavedova who was defending him, and sat on the floor.

Then face the mid-range open shot.

All the Celtics fans stood up. They thought it was a five-best goal, an open shot after the flying man.

"duang!!"

The basketball hit the iron again without accident. No matter how gorgeous the moves are, it is useless to fly people far away.

If the hand feels bad and you can't make a shot, you just can't make a shot, just like being possessed by evil spirits.

When you miss your chances, your opponents punish you.

This sentence can be said to be true in the NBA and cannot be truer.

This time it was Brogdon, the same continuous dribble, the same shaking away from Smart in front of him.

Although it didn't sway Smart, it was enough for him to shoot.

But he didn't choose to shoot, but bravely went to the basket.

Even with a group of guys taller and stronger standing around the basket, he flung himself up in the air, dodged the block with a wide pull, and slammed himself to the ground.

His talent is not strong enough, but he is full of energy.

The basketball flew high, hit the backboard, and fell into the hoop.

At the same time, it caused a foul by Baines.

2+1.

"Fuck!! I said I could!!"

Brogdon stood up and roared angrily, and all the Bucks' bench jumped three feet high to celebrate him wildly.

The towel spinning like a propeller, the subs punching each other excitedly.

Even Kidd, the head coach of the Bucks, couldn't help celebrating loudly, clenched his fists and shouted "Yes!!!!"

Another free throw.

The Bucks beat the Celtics 76 to 69.

Seeing the Bucks' hard work and their state, Jianghu felt that even if they lost today's game, they would not be wronged.

Although Jianghu doesn't like Antetokounmpo, nor does he like this Bucks team.

But I have to admit that they are in great shape.

At least on the whole, they are the team that wants to win more than the Celtics.

Looking back, Irving hit a ball, still juggling dribbles continuously, but this time he chose to rush to the basket to hit the basket.

Looking back, on the Bucks side, it was Brogdon again.

The performance of the last goal made him play well. He stood against Smart's defense and scored a three-pointer when he pulled it up.

The Bucks beat the Celtics 79 to 71.

Smart sealed his eyes, to no avail.

According to the correct.

This is the feel of the status effect.

Jianghu doesn't believe that Brogdon is usually so fierce, or that he can often be so fierce.

But today, but this night, he was just so fierce.

Turning around, Dellavedova directly fell to the ground and threw the ball away from Irving's hand.

Although the ball was finally touched by Dellavedova's hand to the bottom line, the ball still belonged to the Celtics.

But Jianghu knew that the Celtics would not be able to score this goal anyway.

Sure enough, the Celtics failed to break through the line of defense with continuous conduction of the ball and continuous breakthroughs. In the end, Irving made a super-difficult fadeaway jumper near the baseline with a negative angle.

Before the ball was even released, 24 seconds had expired.

Jianghu has a hunch that if the timeout is not called, the Bucks can still score this goal.

Stevens had the same hunch, so he requested a timeout.

"Jiang, go up."

"Al, come on"

"Remember, hit the basket, hit the success rate, don't give the opponent a counterattack, especially don't give Giannis a chance to counterattack."

"Competing for rebounds, did you see the attitude of the people on the opposite side?"

"Learn like them!!"

The time-out is over and the game continues.

The Celtics replaced all five starting players with 8 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game.

In the first minute of coming up, Antetokounmpo was unattended on the outside line, and Antetokounmpo was still the Celtics' point.

This time he chose to shoot a three-pointer.

The world has a hunch that this ball cannot be released, the Bucks are on the momentum, if you dare to release him, you dare to score.

"Go up and jump!!"

Jiang Hu anxiously pushed Horford and told him to jump up, and Horford jumped up.

"Shu~"

It was still a step too late, Antetokounmpo made the only outside shot in this field, and hit a three-pointer.

Bucks 82:71 Celtics.

Looking back, the Bucks' defense began to become impenetrable, and their mental state was extremely good, causing their feet to become fast.

Jianghu only received the ball near the bottom line, and he had already spent 12 seconds in the attack time after receiving the ball, among which he fought with Middleton for at least 3-4 seconds.

In order to grab time, Jianghu hit back directly and turned over to make a jump shot.

Fortunately, his touch is not as bad as Irving, and he turned over and scored a jumper.

The Bucks beat the Celtics 82 to 73.

Looking back, the Celtics also increased some of their defensive strength, defending against the Bucks this round.

However, when attacking, Jianghu missed a mid-range shot again.

But he grabbed a key offensive rebound, and after being double-teamed, he passed to Smart in the corner.

Smart was scared, he didn't make a move...

He's missed too many shots tonight, so he wants to go in and layup.

He rushed to the basket for a throw, and Antetokounmpo shot him from a diagonal stab and gave him a Howard-style volleyball cap.

This block made the Bucks bench crazy again.

After re-sending the sideline ball, Irving still missed the hit.

Looking back, Antetokounmpo was flanked again and passed to Middleton. Brogdon made a fake shot, and Irving, who was defending, was shot by him...

He rushed in directly, and when he rushed in, it was a dunk.

Horford was about to block, and he smashed the ball in against Horford.

"ended……"

Seeing this goal, Jianghu knew that the game had gone far.

The morale of the Bucks was too strong, and Jiang Hu turned around and hit a catch three-pointer.

Then he couldn't touch the ball anymore, the opponent frantically pinched, and the others hit the iron frantically.

At the end of the game, the Celtics finally lost the opening game at home 97-103.

江湖22投10中，拿下27分5篮板9助攻。

欧文25投7中，17分4篮板3助攻。

字母哥19投13中，32分13篮板3助攻3封盖。

Brogdon had 19 points and Dellavedova had 15.

This game made Jianghu understand a truth.

The saying that there are no underdogs in the NBA is not bragging, it is true.

Before the game, except for Jiang Hu, all the Celtics players looked down on the Bucks, and everyone was slapped in the face after the game.
