Chapter 42
Jiang Yan was suspended for three games. According to the game schedule of the Kings, on the day Jiang Yan played, the Kings' home opener had already been missed!

However, Jiang Yan's life in the past few days has been very low-key. Except for training, she is at home every day. According to what Duffy said, let the limelight of the suspension pass!
However, according to the conversations on weekdays, Evans, Cousins ​​and the others are already somewhat dissatisfied with Smart's calmness that day and his subsequent indifference!
Just because Jiang Yan had fought with them, she quickly integrated into them.

Several people have been training together these days.

At the same time, Jiang Yan also knew about the offensive habits of Evans and Cousins!

Cousins, who is good at mid-range shooting, is currently developing three-pointers, and he has a good ability to play inside!

Evans, a master of breakthroughs, has unstable shots, but with his strong body, he is equivalent to O'Neal on the back line!

Salmons, breakthroughs, air cuts, and defense are his specialties!

Thompson's inconspicuousness is actually very good!
Has a mid-range shot in the middle and upper reaches of the league, strong rebounding and defensive capabilities, and most importantly, Thompson actually has a pass!
This is very scarce inside, that is, power forwards like Webber and Divac of the Kings!
It can be said that although these four people have not reached the holding level, Jiang Yan believes that under his tandem, they will definitely be able to exert their strength at the All-Star level!

.........

Soon, it came to November 11th, US time.

At this time, the Kings have played three games since the game against the Bulls.

In these three games against the Timberwolves, Pacers, and Warriors, the record was two losses and one win!
The victorious game was against the Warriors in the home opener. The soldiers of the three armies tried their best to win by two points 94:92!

Today is the Kings vs. Pistons at home!

This is Jiang Yan's first time playing at the king's home court.

I was still a little nervous.

Soon, the time came to five o'clock in the afternoon.

This game is due to the Kings and the Pistons, which have always been unpopular in the league!
So neither ESPN nor TNT sent a live broadcast to Arco Arena!

They chose to live broadcast the game with the Big Three Heat!
Sitting in the locker room, Jiang Yan exhaled heavily to relieve her nervousness.

Evans, who was sitting across from him, smiled and said, "Yan, don't be nervous. In fact, the atmosphere at home is much better than away. You weren't nervous at the Bulls' home court. Why are you nervous today?"

As soon as Evans spoke, the others couldn't help looking at Jiang Yan.

"At the away game, I thought the Bulls fans didn't exist, so I wasn't nervous! But now it's at home, but now I can't forget those fans who cheered for our Kings!" Jiang Yan explained!
"Yan, relax!" Cousins ​​also said beside him.

Not far away, Isaiah Thomas was watching the movement here, very jealous!

When did a rookie have such a good relationship with the two cores of the team?

Of course, his muscular mind would not understand the friendship of men who have carried guns and suffered together!
At this moment, Smart and Viglis walked in.

"Everyone listen to me, the starting lineup for this game is Thomas, Evans, Salmons, Thompson, Cousins! In this game, in terms of offense, the decision is in your hands, Evans!" That's what Smart said.

Then he said: "You must pay attention to defense in this game! Cousins, you must defend Monroe well!"

"Yes!"

Although Evans and the others were already a little dissatisfied with Smart, this tiny emotion was not enough to explode, so after Smart finished speaking, all the players present replied cleanly.

Smart nodded, then turned around and walked towards the locker room with Viglis.

The Pistons have already played, and the Kings will be next!
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yan and the others entered the player tunnel, the announcer outside shouted loudly with a microphone: "Next, let's invite Sacramento's greatest and most talented Kings basketball team!"

"Hooho..."

A burst of cheers followed.

"Let's have the Kings' strongest center, DeMarcus Cousins..."

"Ho Ho..."

Cousins ​​ran out of the passage with a burst of cheers!

.........

The second to last, the announcer said: "Let us invite the most 'powerful' rookie in the history of the Kings, Yan..."

Jiang Yan heard the words, took a deep breath, and trotted out of the player tunnel.

Then I heard cheers from inside the stadium that were even louder than Cousins ​​walking out!

You must know that although Jiang Yan has disappeared these days, the video of him "struggling" for Thompson has been circulated throughout the United States.

It has aroused the love of many teenagers, especially the young people in Sacramento!
They like Jiang Yan's toughness, and also like Jiang Yan's personality!
Of course, if Jiang Yan knew what they were thinking, she would definitely ask, "Do you all like nerds?"

Jiang Yan ran all the way to the court, looked around, and found that there were many Chinese in the arena!

Seeing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but waved to the Chinese area.

Chen Bo is an international student who came to the United States. Although his family is not very rich, they can be regarded as a small fortune!

Since Jiang Yan rose from Wake Forest, he has been following Jiang Yan.

Fortunately, in the draft, Jiang Yan was selected by the Kings. You must know that the university he studied in is California State University in Sacramento.

In the future, I will have the opportunity to come to the arena to watch Jiang Yan's game!
After Jiang Yan announced that she had joined the Kings and showed her No. 11 jersey, Chen Bai immediately went to the Kings store to buy Jiang Yan's jersey!

Not only that, but he also organized those Chinese in the school who like Jiang Yan to come to Arco Arena to watch Jiang Yan's game!
He is very dismissive of those Heijiangyan people on the Internet. He thinks that Jiangyan stood up for his teammates and played the blood of a Chinese man!
Played the domineering Chinese man!

"Jiang Yan, come on!" Seeing Jiang Yan waving at him, Chen Bai immediately stood up, remembered the sign in his hand, and shouted loudly.

The last one to play was Evans.

Evans' appearance was much more enthusiastic than Jiang Yan's, basically the audience cheered for him!
Jiang Yan is very envious!

But he buried this envy deep in his eyes!
Pistons lineup:
Head Coach: Morris &Chris

Point Guard: Brandon Knight
Shooting Guard: Tayshaun Prince

Small Forward: Kyle Singler (Germany)
Power Forward: Corey Maggette

Center: Greg Monroe.

A few minutes later, the game officially started, and the Kings still sent Cousins ​​to fight for the ball.

A few seconds later, the first offensive ball fell into the hands of the king.

Thomas came to the frontcourt with the ball and didn't do anything. The first thing he did was give the ball to Evans.

Evans is naturally a breakthrough when he holds the ball, and he has been doing this for several years!
On the first ball, Thomas forced Tayshaun Prince to the inside.

But the Pistons' center Monroe did not come to help defend, but stood straight at a 45-degree angle inside the three-point line.

Seeing that he couldn't attract the defense, Evans had to come by himself!

He just made a layup with Prince hanging on his body!
Unfortunately, due to the interference of Prince, the layup was not hit!

The rebound was grabbed by Maggette.

Then the Pistons made a fast break.

Brandon Knight is best at fast break chaos.

Quickly came to the Kings' backcourt, although Thomas kept following him.

But Brandon Knight resolutely chose to shoot when he came outside the three-point line!

Thomas is too short in front of him, even if Thomas has defended well!
But the inherent disadvantages cannot be made up for with attitude!

In the next few minutes, the Pistons made a thorough defense and counterattack.

In particular, the Kings still have obvious defensive weaknesses like Thomas.

At 30 minutes and [-] seconds, the entire game was suspended!

This timeout also belongs to the timeout of the Kings!
The score was 18:26, with the home team at the front and the visiting team at the back.

Smart is even more Zen than 'Grandpa KFC'!
Jiang Yan has been watching from the sidelines, and can't help but sigh!

Smart stood among the crowd, holding a tactical board in his hand!
But the tactical board is blank!
"Wait for us..."

After Smart finished speaking, he put away the tactical board and was about to sit down.

At this time, Vigelis reminded: "Coach, Yan is about to play!"

"?"

"The president said that Yan should have at least 25 minutes of playing time!" Viglies reminded.

Smart looked displeased, but when he heard that it was Patrik, he stopped Thomas who was about to go on stage, and then shouted at Jiang Yan who was sitting next to Outlaw: "Yan, you go on stage! Pay attention I just said that!"

Jiang Yan was taken aback when she heard the words, wasn't she a substitute?Played so early?
What tactics?
Jiang Yan expressed a question mark at the head!

Some of them are good though!
After playing for 2 minutes on his first debut, he was ejected and was suspended for three games.

Jiang Yan happily took off her training jacket, ready to go on stage.

Before going on stage, Jiang Yan stretched out her hand, wanting to clap with Thomas who was called back!
But Thomas ignored Jiang Yan at all!

Jiang Yan doesn't care!
When he came to the court, Cousins ​​said happily: "Hey, Yan, you are starting!"

The other three also smiled!
Jiang Yan nodded expressionlessly, then took the ball from Cousins, dribbled the ball and ran forward!

The other four settled down in the frontcourt, while Jiang Yan stood outside the three-point line.

He didn't give the ball to Evans. As a point guard, how can he organize without the ball in his hands?

Jiang Yan waved at Cousins, signaling him to come out to pick and roll!

Seeing this, Cousins ​​naturally ran out.

Cousins ​​came outside the three-point line and directly blocked Brandon Wright.

Next up was Monroe.

According to Jiang Yan's experience in beating Boozer in the previous game, she only needs to use her flexibility to play a big game with a small player!

Sure enough, big center Monroe was swayed by Jiang Yan, a small man who couldn't break through, and was directly passed by Jiang Yan!

But the Pistons are not the Bulls. Their power forward is Corey Maggette, a player who can play both power forward and small forward!

His flexibility can be imagined!

And the Pistons steadfastly switched defenses, that is, Monroe was on Thompson, Brandon Wright was on Cousins, Prince was on Evans, and Kyle Singler was Watch out for Salmons.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan didn't go deep into the inside line, but pulled it out.

Give the ball to Cousins, who is walking, and let him play big and small!

As soon as Cousins ​​singled Brandon Wright, Prince, who was standing next to him, ran to help defend.

Although Cousins ​​said that his brain is prone to problems, but at this time, he has not yet developed a disease!
Pass the ball back to Jiang Yan directly!
Jiang Yan passed the ball non-stop and immediately passed it to Evans who had already cut inside!

The Pistons' attention was all taken away by Cousins. How can Evans be prevented from dunking?

"Peng!"

20: 26!

"E...van...s...burst...dunk..."

"Papa..." The fans cheered and clapped.

In the eyes of Morris, this offense was extremely entertaining and layered!
Let him be shocked by Jiang Yan's organizational talent!
