Chapter 102 I almost couldn’t hold back my laughter

Whoopi Brown was wrong.

In the end, Jianghu failed to score more than 45 points.

The last people to stand up in the third quarter were Irving and Horford. Irving singled out Jack continuously, and then rushed to the basket and caused Porzingis two consecutive fouls.

After Porzingis was benched for a total of four fouls, the Celtics, who were not a strong inside line in the past, were able to gain the upper hand today.

Horford faced the Knicks' backup big man Guillermo Hernangomez and turned himself into "Warcraft Horford"

Two consecutive alley-oop dunks are not common for Horford, but it happened.

When you have the advantage both inside and outside, it's hard to lose the game.

Seeing that his teammates have many opportunities, Jiang Hu does not force the ball to attack, but passes the ball to players with better opportunities.

In the last minute of the third quarter, Smart suddenly came out of nowhere. The ball passed to him by Jianghu was originally intended for him to make a transition, but he didn't expect him to take action directly.

Jiang Hu: "Fuck, don't..."

"Good shot!!"

With this shot, the score reached 90 to 64, and the point difference between the two teams increased to more than 25 points. In one quarter, the Knicks, who had no explosive scoring ability, had basically lost hope of winning the game.

.

At the end of three quarters, the Celtics beat the Knicks 93 to 68.

At the end of the game, the Celtics finally defeated the Knicks 113-96.

Jiang Hu scored 40 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in three quarters.

This is Jianghu’s second 40+ score.

Currently, only one rookie in this class has scored 40 points in Jiang Hu. Among the others, the highest scorer is Lauri Markkanen of the Bulls, who scored 36 points and 9 rebounds in yesterday's game between the Bulls and the Raptors.

He was undoubtedly the best player in the game today. Irving, Horford, Smart and others also all scored in double figures. The Celtics' bench was relatively mediocre in this game, but it didn't matter. The lineup killed the game right away.

The best performer of the Knicks was Porzingis, who made 13 of 26 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, and 6 of 10 free throws. He scored 32 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. He even counted empty shots.

No, because he only scored 19 points on 7 of 20 shots in the first three quarters, but in the final quarter he scored 13 points on 6 of 6 shots.

Today's victory is the Celtics' third consecutive victory. The current total record is 4 wins and 1 loss, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

Ranked first is the Toronto Raptors in the north. They are currently 4 wins and 0 losses. The "garbage brothers" combination of DeRozan and Lowry are in amazing form. One averages 29 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and the other one averages 29 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

Averaged 23 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists.

Back in the locker room, his teammates congratulated Jiang Hu. He was visibly more respected in the locker room.

Especially the two insiders, Tice and Baines, were even more hospitable. One smiled like a chrysanthemum and handed Jiang Hu water, and the other actually ran behind Jiang Hu to help him relax his shoulders.

Jiang Hu thought about it and realized that it was probably because his dunk on Kanter was too brutal. Baynes and Theis were afraid that Jiang Hu would do this during a training match, which would be uncomfortable.

Jiang Hu saw what they were thinking and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, it's safe to be my teammate. I can still tell who is the enemy and who is one of my own."

Tas smiled and said: "I know, I know, I only give you a massage because of your hard work."

Baynes held up the bottle of mineral water and said with a smile: "Here, have another sip."

"You are so awesome, Jiang, do you know? You are acting just like Michael back then. You came out of nowhere and no one can stop you."

Jiang Hu listened to his teammates' compliments and didn't know how to respond. He could only smile helplessly and wave his hands, neither admitting nor denying.

After a brief shower, Jiang Hu and Irving Horford attended the press conference together.

There were a lot of reporters today, and the press conference was packed with people, because this is New York, the most economically prosperous city in the United States, and the city with the largest number of media reporters.

Before Jiang Hu could even sit down, the reporters used cameras to shoot his face, flashing white lights.

The first question reporters asked was how they felt after winning the game.

"I felt very good today, so I scored a high score. Of course, my recent form has been very good and I didn't hit the wall, so my average data per game is very good, and I hope I can keep it up."

There are only three players in the league who have scored two 40-point games this season. The other two are Anthony Davis of the Pelicans and Damian Lillard of the Trail Blazers. One of them is the leader of the empty scorer group.

, the other is the deputy group leader of the empty killing group.

Jiang Hu is the player who has won the most games, so it doesn’t matter if he is a little more high-profile. Being too low-key will give people a feeling of lack of confidence.

Most players in the NBA may not be able to score 40 points once in their entire career. He has already scored twice in 5 games. This is a quite amazing result.

The reporter asked: "You are the only player among this year's rookies to score more than 20 points in every game. Do you have any tips to share with others on how to maintain your condition?"

"I have no skills, I just play ball."

Jiang Hu smiled slightly, remembering Master Wei's all-purpose saying - I just play ball.

"I just go on the court and focus on the game, do everything that can help us win, and try to cooperate with the brothers and help everyone play together. We are definitely not the strongest team in the league, nor can we dominate a position.

players, but we have the same goal and show great unity."

Jiang Hu is right. The current Celtics are indeed very united. The reason is that no one has the absolute right to speak on the court.

Irving is popular because of his fancy style of play, not because he is the strongest number one position in the league.

Moreover, he is not liked by the young people in the team and has no foundation.

Jiang Hu performed best, but he was too young.

Horford has the highest authority and the most say in the locker room, but he is only the third player on the team.

Everyone has their own shortcomings and advantages, but they maintain a wonderful balance. No one dares not to take what the other says seriously.

A female reporter asked: "You dunked Enes Kanter many times during the game today, causing him to leave the field injured. Currently, his injury assessment report has come out. He has a third-level concussion and is accompanied by staged injuries.

"Amnesia, how do you feel about his injury?"

This question is the most topical and is also the question that all reporters present today are most concerned about.

It's hard to answer this question. He just needs to be happy secretly. He must not show too much excitement in front of the media, otherwise he will easily be labeled as "cruel".

Jiang Hu pretended to sigh, and then said:

"I'm very sorry for Enes' injury. It's hard to believe that a dunk could lead to such a result. If it happened again, I might choose a shot if it could keep him healthy."

"But you know, this is basketball, a sport with a high degree of physical confrontation. We can only control ourselves and not hurt others, but we can't prevent accidents from happening."

"This accident made me very sad. Fortunately, he only had a third-degree concussion and could return to the game in a few months. If he really failed to rescue him, I might blame myself for the rest of my life."

"I may take time to visit him in the hospital in the future. I hope he recovers. I look forward to playing against him again."

The guilt on Jiang Hu's face was so genuine that no one could tell it was a show. People felt that he really didn't mean it, it was just Kanter's bad luck.
