I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 121 The Spurs Visit (3)

If it was before, Jiang Mu would not deliberately touch this bad head, but Jiang Mu has already felt that this time has entered the time of the "Great Heart Badge", so as the most confident person in the team, he must do his part at this time. come out.

"Jiang didn't get any benefits when he faced Leonard head-on in this game. Why is it that the more critical the moment is, the more he has to face the difficulties?"

"Nonsense! Jiang is trying to hit a giant planet!"

"This fight should be played by Carmelo, right?"

"Jiang is a superstar in my heart! Can you control me?"

After switching defenses, Leonard put his center of gravity very low. He knew that Jiang Mu was a player with strong breakthrough ability. In addition, Jiang Mu was only 191 centimeters tall. Leonard could only lower his center of gravity again and keep his eyes fixed on him. Looking at the ball in Jiang Mu's hand, he thought that he must defend the ball no matter what, and strive to achieve a lead at the end of the first half.

At 10 minutes and 50 seconds of the second quarter, Jiang Mu started to dribble, and there were 8 seconds left in the attack time.

Porzingis came up to pick and roll, but Jiang Mu did not refuse.

Although Porzingis is tall, Leonard is very experienced in breaking pick-and-rolls.

Jiang Mu did not follow Porzingis' pick-and-roll left to break through, but took advantage of the moment Leonard bypassed Porzingis' body and accelerated from the right.

Leonard hurriedly withdrew to chase Jiang Mu, and David West also came to help defend from the right.

As soon as Jiang Mu entered the three-point line, he received the ball directly, and when he raised the ball high, he was about to pass it back to Porzingis who retreated to the top of the arc after the pick-and-roll.

Leonard was startled: Want to pass the ball to that rookie for a three-pointer?You underestimated my reaction too.

Leonard kicked his left foot, and took another step back in an instant, his body lay between Jiang Mu and Porzingis, and he stretched out his long arm.

Fake action?
Like dancing, Jiang Mu took the ball back as soon as the first step landed, and then suddenly stepped his left foot to the right, a large stride opened up space with Vesta.

Stop jump shot!

brush!
46: 42.

Hines: "It's beautiful. The fake pass deceived Leonard, and he jumped to widen the distance with West. He made a steady mid-range shot. It's very Chris Paul style."

Muller: "Jiang's ball is really smart!"

Popovich had previously ordered the task of overtaking the score in the first half, but the grumpy Popovich was not angry, because this ball cannot be regarded as a defensive player's mistake, after all, no one would have thought of Jiang Mu will fight like this!
Leonard took a deep look at Popovich, and when he looked at Jiang Mu again, his face was still expressionless, but he knew in his heart: The alliance really has another difficult role to deal with!
Every player who can achieve the ultimate in defense will pay attention to players with strong personal abilities in the league. If they want to play their names and status, defensive champions need to study these players with strong personal abilities.

After just 4 games, Jiang Mu has already entered Leonard's eyes.

But Jiang Mu knew very well that if it weren't for Porzingis' pick-and-roll, it would be difficult for him to score this goal.

I have a good body on the back line, and when facing a player like Leonard, I have no advantage at all!
In the next round, Leonard also returned Jiang Mu with Aldridge's pick-and-roll, but it was a three-pointer.

46:45, the point difference is only 1 points.

At 11 minutes and 15 seconds of the second quarter, the Spurs still did not switch to full-court marking at the end of the first half. Jiang Mu slowly dribbled the ball across the half and found a chance to pass the ball to Anthony.

Anthony holds the ball at 45 degrees within the three-point line. At this point in time, he generally does not pass the ball in a one-on-one situation.

Porzingis and Lopez also pulled apart one outside and one inside. Williams was in ambush outside the three-point line in the left corner, and Jiang Mu was one and a half meters away from the three-point line at the top of the arc. They are all ready to catch and shoot the ball at any time.

Anthony's three-threat didn't make Leonard lose his position, but made it tighter.

Two small forwards with extremely strong bodies started a one-on-one fight at this time, and finally Anthony turned around and missed a jumper.

West missed a pass from Leonard on the next play.

At 11 minutes and 45 seconds of the second quarter, Jiang Mu broke through with the ball on the left side, attracted two double-teams and then passed it to Lopez. Lopez caused Vesta to foul and made two free throws.

47: 45.

But when the second free throw came out of the frame, Aldridge grabbed the rebound. He should have finished the first half in time, but Leonard went deep, and Aldridge still didn't let go of this good opportunity.

Leonard made a fast break dunk.

The score is tied!

With only 10 seconds left, the Knicks timed out.

"Give the ball to Jiang or Carmelo, whichever of you has a chance will play this ball, try to score!"

Anthony was defended closely by Leonard and couldn't catch the ball.

"You hit!"

Time was running out. After Anthony yelled, he withdrew outside the three-point line. He knew that Jiang Mu had an advantage in playing Parker over Leonard himself. Of course, he was ready to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer.

Everyone opened up the space, Jiang Mu stabilized, and then began to dribble.

After two consecutive crotches, he suddenly changed direction sharply, and it was easy to throw the old sports car half a body away.

But Parker still pursued closely. Facing Aldridge's defense preparations, Jiang Mu deliberately slowed down a bit, and Parker blocked Jiang Mu again.

But Parker, who was not on a firm footing, did not expect Jiang Mu to take a step back.

Jiang Mu, who jumped high and shot a jumper, was not affected by Parker at all.

Go in!The whistle for the end of the first half sounded at the same time.

49:47, the lead is still the New York Knicks!

The Knicks cheered at home, and the fans watching the game in China also cheered.

"Jiang Mu is really amazing! Buzzer!"

"It's a pity that I stepped on the line, otherwise it would be another three points!"

Muller: "The Spurs' defense is really good, and the scores of the two teams are not high!"

Hines: "Yeah, Anthony only scored 9 points in the first half, and his shooting percentage was only 29%. Only Jiang Mu remained stable with those three three-pointers, but he only scored 13 points."

At the beginning of the third quarter, the two teams were still the same as the previous two quarters, with a very slow pace and low scores.

The well-known ball commentator Old Bill, who had been explaining the University of Wyoming Aurora's game, was also lost in thought in front of the TV at this time:
Although the rhythm is the rhythm of the Spurs, if it was the Knicks in the past, it would have collapsed by now. Although the lead is not much, the Knicks have always maintained the lead. Even when facing a team like the Spurs, Jiang still did not show the slightest fear. Afraid of feet, although the performance is not as good as before, the efficiency is still guaranteed.

The Knicks' defense has improved a lot. Many people haven't seen this hidden thing. Perhaps after a few games, various analyzes and data will be perfected before it will be known to many people, right?

"Ginnie, my dear daughter, I suggested you to be the team reporter of the Aurora team, right? Now you and Jiang have a good relationship, and your career will definitely flourish. When will you come and have a meal with me? What? Hey. Still don’t forgive me? But I still want to help you, I have a great idea, I don’t know if you are interested in it!”
