Chapter 61 Duffy's Wrath

Jiang Yan took the basketball from Cousins, then dribbled the ball and walked forward!
In the next few minutes, Jiang Yan kept using the pick-and-roll or let Cousins ​​singles Lopez, directly allowing Cousins ​​to score 8 points in the first 14 minutes of the first quarter.

As for Jiang Yan herself, she scored 3 points and 3 assists!

Compared with the past, it is very low!
However, the Kings performed very well, and they were evenly matched with the Nets in the first 8 minutes of the first quarter!

The score was 22:22.

The shooting percentages of the two teams were very high in the first 3 minutes, but after that, the shooting percentages of the two teams began to drop, and they hit iron one after another. Therefore, in the first 3 minutes, under the premise of 100% shooting percentage of the two teams, they only scored 22 points!
Unlike the Kings, whose scoring is concentrated on one person, the Nets' scoring is relatively even.

Deron 6 points, Johnson 6 points, Lopez 4 points, Henry Rivers 2 points, Gerald Wallace 4 points!
When the time came for the bench, Smart still routinely left Evans on the court and formed a bench lineup with Thomas.

And coach Carlesimo of the Nets left Joe Boss as a starter on the court!
In an instant, the situation on the field turned into two heroes fighting against the boss Joe!

.........

Jiang Yan watched the game off the court and shook her head. The Kings' substitute is no match for the Nets!
Joe Johnson was not restrained by Deron on the court at this time. After holding the ball in his hand, he regained his former Eagle King demeanor!

在第一节后4分钟和第二节前3分钟，直接13投10中，拿下22分！
Directly throwing away the armor of the Kings, there is no resistance at all!
Jiang Yan may understand why the substitute lineup did not perform well.

They are not monsters like Jiang Yan, and they still have a strong recovery ability silently given by the system every night!
Even though they entered the league earlier than Jiang Yan, for an ordinary person who is made up of flesh, there is no extra physical strength to bear the exhaustion of these five days and four games!

It was obvious that Thornton's running speed had dropped a lot compared to before, with that exhausted and sluggish expression flashing on his face!
And look at the other starters sitting on the bench, they also have an indelible listlessness on their faces!

This game is over!
Sure enough, when Jiang Yan and the other starting players reappeared in the second quarter, the Kings players were quite active at the beginning.

But after 1 minute, the heaviness of running hit them!

At 8 minutes and 50 seconds of the second quarter, after Cousins ​​blocked Lopez and Thompson blocked Henry Rivers, Jiang Yan rushed from the outside to the inside, jumped high and took the rebound!
Jiang Yan's first reaction at that time was to counterattack quickly, and rushed forward without looking back while dribbling the ball!

To Jiang Yan's surprise, when he rushed to the frontcourt, he found that his teammates hadn't followed!

This is a little embarrassing!
Jiang Yan had no choice but to come to the top of the three-point arc again after a lap in the frontcourt, waiting for her teammates to arrive!
It's not that Salmons and the others don't want to come, it's just that they are too tired to run!

You don't need to watch the next game, it's just a massacre!

Even if Jiang Yan intends to recover from the unfavorable situation and try her best to create space for her teammates, the rest of the Kings are no longer in the same state as they were at the beginning of the game, and they are constantly hitting the iron!

Two hours later, the game ended, and the final score of the two teams was 81:112.

The gap of 31 points is considered to be the biggest gap since the beginning of this year's regular season!

In this game, Jiang Yan only scored 6 points and 8 assists due to the poor touch of his teammates!

Neither broke 10!

.........

Jiang Yan had just returned to the locker room and was about to take a shower when Viglies' voice came from the locker room.

"Yan, Yan? Is Yan there?" He yelled a few words at first, and then he seemed to be asking someone.

"Here! What's the matter?" Jiang Yan replied while wiping the soap while shaking the drops of water off her body.

"Smart said, you don't need to go to the press conference today, Cousins ​​has gone!" Viglies' voice continued to reach Jiang Yan's ears!

Jiang Yan hummed, then continued to touch the soap on her body!
Well, it smells good on my body, and it's very slippery!

Jiang Yan muttered!

But there is a reason why Smart asked Cousins ​​to accept a post-match interview today.

Cousins ​​scored an unprecedented double-double of 21 points and 13 rebounds in this game. The data is very luxurious, and it is also the best data of the Kings!

Of course, this is not the best performance. It stands to reason that Jiang Yan is the most active one on the court, but the media and fans only pay attention to statistics, and don't care about whether they play hard or not on the court!
After taking a shower, Jiang Yan took out her backpack from her closet, turned on her phone, and saw several text messages inside!

"Yan, are you in New York now?"

"Yan, should I go back to Sacramento immediately after the game or stay in New York overnight?"

"Yan, come out to play at night, do you want to visit the Empire State Building in New York?"

Jiang Yan looked at these text messages from Lawrence, and was actually very puzzled. He remembered that Lawrence had obviously gone to North Carolina to shoot a scene!Why did it suddenly appear in New York!

"Hello!" Jiang Yan thought about it and called Lawrence!

"..."

"At night? It's almost eight o'clock now!"

"........."

"well……"

Jiang Yan hung up the phone with a helpless expression on her face. The more familiar Lawrence was with him, the more he knew how to order him!

Lawrence ordered him to appear under the Empire State Building before nine o'clock, and then she would accompany Jiang Yan to the top of the Empire State Building to see the scenery!

Lawrence and Jiang Yan have been ordinary friends for a month, and they also know that Jiang Yan is actually an otaku.

Life is very boring, even if she sees that Jiang Yan is still studying finance, it can't change the property of Jiang Yan's house!
As a film and television goddess, he is very confident in transforming Jiang Yan, so that Jiang Yan is no longer just basketball!
After Jiang Yan and Garcia said something, they left the Barclays Center arena!

Half an hour later, Jiang Yan arrived under the Empire State Building in a taxi who was very good at drifting!
After getting out of the car, Jiang Yan vomited twice, took out her phone and looked at it!
Fortunately, only 08:30!
Jiang Yan was lying there retching, when suddenly, he was slapped on the back!
"Yan, why are you aging so fast? I've only just arrived!"

Jiang Yan turned around and saw that it was Lawrence!
.........

The next day, Jiang Yan left New York with the Kings and flew to Sacramento. On January 1th, the Kings will face the Memphis Grizzlies at home!

The Memphis Grizzlies are not an easy nut to crack!

Since the Grizzlies formed the inside duo, they have been known for their defensive ability!

Earlier, that is, in the 2010-2011 season, the Grizzlies entered the playoffs with the eighth record in the Western Conference. In the first round, they met the Spurs, which ranked first in the league at the time!

However, the eighth-ranked Grizzlies were stunned by the entire league. The Spurs were blacked out by the Grizzlies 4:2, and in these six games, the Spurs did not score more than 100 points in one game!

It can be seen that the Grizzlies' defensive ability is strong!

Two years have passed, although the corner players of the Grizzlies have changed a lot, but the team's defensive lineup has not changed much!
So Smart gave up directly for this game, and just inherited the previous tactics for the team intact!

When Jiang Yan was listening to Smart's words, she wanted to say that they should win this game!

But looking at the tired look on other people's faces that hadn't fully recovered, he still swallowed it!
And Smart also announced a news in front of everyone, that is, Jiang Yan will take a rest in this game!
Jiang Yan was shocked when she heard the words, he took turns?

And when did this Smart take the same rotation as the Spurs' Popovich?

"Coach, I'm sorry, let me interrupt. Why do I have to take turns?" Jiang Yan asked after changing her face, interrupting Smart who wanted to say more.

Smart heard the words, glanced at Jiang Yan and didn't speak, just paused, and continued talking about the topic he just said!

Jiang Yan didn't get an answer, and her expression changed from original astonishment to gloomy!
However, he still sensibly did not slam the door and leave, but stood there listening to Smart's words!
Am I mistaken, who ever heard of a rookie who just entered the NBA's rotation?
It's not that I have potential injuries, or some tactics to deal with the Grizzlies!
Jiang Yan stood there, looked at Smart, and did not interrupt Smart, but obviously, he needed an explanation from Smart!
After Smart finished speaking, he took a deep look at Jiang Yan, didn't want to say anything, and then left!
Coaches need authority!
Jiang Yan frowned, and sat down on the bench, and then a person sat down beside her!
Turning his head, he saw that it was Chuck Hayes, who didn't have a strong sense of presence in the Kings.

He is not on the activation list now, and he is considered to be in the king's pension!

"Chuck!" Jiang Yan nodded and greeted.

.........

Jiang Yan frowned and returned to her apartment at night, and happened to meet Duffy who was here at the door of the apartment!

After the two entered the room, Duffy casually asked why Jiang Yan was so sad.

Jiang Yan hesitated and told Duffy the situation.

In fact, he also intentionally asked Duffy to put pressure on him. He had long felt that this Smart was not against him!
Duffy's face was serious when he heard this.

If a player does not agree with the head coach, it is a serious problem for the player.

At the same time, he also blamed Jiang Yan for not telling him about the situation earlier!

Then he called Patrik!

Jiang Yan sat beside her, listening to Duffy and Patrik's speech, and kept silent!

Half an hour later, Duffy looked at Jiang Yan with a relaxed expression.

Said: "Solved!"

Then he talked to Jiang Yan about the shooting of Pepsi's commercial!
After he sent Jiang Yan's signed contract last time, Pepsi was very efficient. He had already found a director and prepared everything in the past few days, just waiting for Jiang Yan to be free!
And Jiang Yan is taking a break this round, so she has time to shoot this commercial!
"Duffy, how long will this commercial take to shoot, and do you have any requirements for acting skills?" Jiang Yan asked Duffy before he was about to leave.

"This commercial shouldn't take much time, probably only an hour or two! As for acting skills, don't others know that you don't have acting skills?" Duffy said with a slight smile after asking Jiang Yan.

And then left the apartment!
But after he left Jiang Yan's room, his face became gloomy!
Even if the players under him have broad prospects, there are still obstacles along the way!

From the looks of it, the entire league has contemptuous of itself after not making a move for several years!
Then he took out his mobile phone and made a call that he hadn't called for a while.

"Hello, LA Times? This is Duffy..."

Duffy's figure gradually disappeared in the corridor of the apartment, but his voice still lingered at the entrance of the apartment building!
