Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 12 12 [Screaming]

Without making everyone wait too long, the training match started soon, and for Jiang Hao's four-person team, Popovich chose to rotate.

Jiang Hao got the chance to play when he played more than ten minutes in the training game. The coaching staff had only one requirement for him, and that was to stay on the perimeter and be ready to shoot 3-pointers at any time.

Compared with the game, the intensity of the training game was too low after all, so Jiang Hao became the most beautiful boy in the game with his precise three-pointer.

After the entire training game, he even scored more than [-] points relying on three-pointers.

However, on the defensive end, including Jiang Hao, many players were scolded bloody by Popovich.

This old man is really big. He is in his seventies. Standing on the sidelines, as soon as someone makes a mistake, he will immediately yell at him, no matter who you are. In one round, he even scolded the veteran Parker for many years.

"Jiang, you have a certain defensive awareness, but your defensive experience is really not flattering. You will get a chance to play in the next game against the Wizards. In addition to continuing to be a threat from the three-point line, you must do more on the defensive end. make more changes”

After the training game, the assistant coach Chip Englander, who has been with Popovich for many years and is also one of the basketball builders of the Spurs team, unexpectedly found Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao respects Chip Englander very much, because he learned from Messina some time ago that it was Chip England who strongly advocated the Spurs to use the second round pick to select him, but he has been with the Spurs for so long. Didn't get a chance to talk to Chip Englander.

"Senior, I have to thank you"

Jiang Hao said to Englander very sincerely.

"Young man, don't thank me, that's my job, like now, I hope you can correct your ball-handling posture"

"what do you mean?"

Jiang Hao was a little puzzled.

"Don't you think you're holding the ball awkwardly? Obviously, you're always letting your palms touch the basketball"

Jiang Hao was stunned by Englander's words. Could this be the reason why his ability to hold the ball has always been poor?
Intuition told Jiang Hao that even if it wasn't the reason, it must be related to this factor.

As far as he knows, Englander in front of him is especially good at training in ball-handling posture and shooting training. There have been rumors that Leonard's shooting posture was corrected under his guidance.

So why did Englander find himself at this time?

Jiang Hao more or less understood in his heart, this should be the reason why he was able to be arranged to play in the training match just now.

Just like what Messina told him at noon, try to show all your abilities in the training game. The purpose of doing this is to let the coaching staff understand themselves as much as possible.

"Jiang, the correction of the ball-holding posture cannot be completed overnight, you have to be mentally prepared"

After saying this, Englander turned and left.

"Again, you just ask questions and don't take direct action?"

Looking at the back of Englander leaving, Jiang Hao frowned. He didn't understand what the coaching staff meant by doing this. Messina was like this before, saying that he had a problem with defense, but there was no more to say after he finished speaking.

…………

The next day, at six o'clock in the afternoon, the Washington Wizards' home court, the Verizon Center Arena, the Spurs and the Wizards' first match of the season had already begun.

Under the leadership of John Wall and Bradley Beal this season, the Wizards have achieved very good results so far. They ranked third in the Eastern Conference. Before the game against the Spurs, they had achieved five consecutive home games A brilliant record of victory.

Therefore, for the Spurs who just ended their losing streak at home with difficulty, it is conceivable how difficult it is to win this game tonight.

Judging from Gregg Popovich's posture before the game, he wants to win the game. Except for Leonard who is still absent, all the other 14 players on the roster will play in this game .

Perhaps Popovich's greatest confidence in this game comes from the fact that the Wizards are also one of the teams that dislike 3-pointers in the league at this stage. This seems to be in the same vein as the Spurs.

"I hate three-pointers"

That's why he uttered such a "naughty boy" sentence before the game.

In fact, when the game started, the Spurs player Rudy Gay was the first to hit a 3-pointer from the outside.

Wizards head coach Scott Brooks looked at Popovich in a daze. This bad old man is so bad that he can't do a single punctuation mark.

However, Scott Brooks can only be anxious. The team leader Wall is probably the most traditional point guard in the league. He never compromises with the three-point line. The talent for scoring the ball, this is simply incomparable with Chris Paul, who is also a traditional point guard. Regardless of whether he is "Sao Paulo" or "Dirty Paul", at least he has three-pointers.

Of course, Wall, who always looks like he hasn't woken up, is really not blocked when he breaks through and dunks. As the champion of the slam dunk contest, when he rushes up, he seems unstoppable. At this time, Bo Povich missed Dedmon last season very much. If Dedmon was there, Wall would at least weigh it before dunking.

But what about now?
Pau Gasol is 37 years old, and physical confrontation itself is not his strong point.

And Aldridge, who is becoming more and more mellow, seems to be Popovich's masterpiece no matter how he looks at it.

Oh, God.

I can't take it anymore.

Popovich waved his hand, and Jiang Hao quickly appeared on the court.

"Shoot 'em with a 3"

Jiang Hao's face was full of black lines, the old man was really irritable, but this seemed to be quite exciting.

Jiang Hao is not a soft-hearted master. He hit a three-pointer against Bradley Beal as soon as he came up. Just kidding, buddy is still holding a two-way contract. Don't you work hard?
yellow face?

How can this be tolerated.

Bradley Bill waved his hand and let me get out of the way. Labor and management want this Asian monkey to get out of the NBA in disgrace.

However, at the end of the first half, Jiang Hao came off the bench for 8 minutes, made 3 of 4 3-pointers, and added a breakthrough layup, scoring a total of 11 points.

而布拉德利比尔出场18分钟，却3分球5投1中，一共只拿到了9分。

56: 46!

The Spurs in the away game already hold a 10-point lead.

Mad, the yellow face, during the intermission, Bradley Beal was holding a half-time data sheet in his hand, angrily yelling in the locker room.

On the other side, Jiang Hao was eating donuts while receiving ice pack therapy.
