Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 20 20 [Offensive Selection]

Spurs: Tony Parker, Danny Green, Jiang Hao, Pau Gasol, LaMarcus Aldridge.

Warriors: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Garnett, Draymond Green, Zaza Pachulia.

Before the game started, the atmosphere in the AT&T Center was a little quiet. Looking at the starting lineup of the Warriors, everyone really couldn't get excited. This is simply the expected result.

The director of the home court swung the camera back and forth on Jiang Hao's body. Under people's gaze, this immature yellow face will usher in his starting tour.

Maybe it was because of his mentality. Pachulia played seriously abnormally in the jump ball. He jumped higher than Aldridge, but threw the basketball into Jiang Hao's arms. Immediately, Jiang Hao passed the ball to Parker. The game officially begins.

In general, Aldridge has played well this season. In the absence of Leonard, he has played the role of team leader very well, often using his trademark mid-range to help the team score.

No, the first time the Spurs attacked, he completed a mid-range fadeaway jumper to help the team score 2 points first.

Turning around, Jiang Hao faced Kevin Durant on the defensive end, a superstar who is currently strong enough to rank among the top five in the league.

Although he has made great progress in all aspects during this period, Jiang Hao is still a little nervous at this time. Although he did not start the match last time, he also played against him for a short time. Frankly speaking, the pressure is really great.

On the left side of the paint area, Jiang Hao closely followed Durant's footsteps, trying not to let Durant have a chance to catch the ball, but Durant obviously lied about his height, and Jiang Hao, who is 2.02, looked even taller in front of him. Half a head shorter, Curry's pass finally came to Durant's hands.

Jiang Hao felt that Curry, a fake white man who looked like a primary school student, definitely did it on purpose. After he passed the ball to Durant, he directly led the other Warriors players to pull away. It was clear that this was for Durant to play alone.

When height is not dominant, Jiang Hao can only rely on his position to interfere with Durant's shot selection.

But this is not a big offensive test for Durant, who has a pair of long arms. He simply made a tentative step, and Durant directly chose to pull.

At the moment Durant took off, Jiang Hao also jumped up, but he didn't touch the ball, and he could only watch the basketball go into the basket.

Jiang Hao was a little helpless, and Leonard might not be able to defend this kind of ball.

Before he had time to think too much, Jiang Hao rushed to the frontcourt immediately. After rushing into the penalty area from the left side of the top of the arc, he and Aldridge made a crossover and immediately came to the right side of the paint area, which is his favorite Parker is obviously familiar with his habit and immediately threw the ball to him.

Jiang Hao completed the shot before the Warriors' defense could keep up.

brush.

There was a burst of applause in the arena, and the fans who were worried about Jiang Hao swallowing duck eggs breathed a sigh of relief. Winning or losing doesn't matter, as long as Jiang Hao doesn't swallow duck eggs, the fans are very cute.

In the next round, Jiang Hao took the initiative to switch defenses with Danny Green. Compared with him, Danny Green has better defensive experience. It is better to let Danny Green deal with Durant than to waste him. The players in the situation are a little more cost-effective.

Jiang Hao faced Curry on the defensive end. Looking at Curry with a harmless expression, Jiang Hao also did not dare to be careless. This guy's three-pointers are very accurate.

Curry is definitely one of the few players with the best ball-handling ability in this league. Facing Curry who is holding the ball, Jiang Hao didn't think about forcing and trying to complete the steal. He knew that this would not be effective. The best way to defend is Stick close to Curry and don't give him the angle of shot and breakthrough. In this way, Curry can only choose to pass the ball.

Jiang Hao's defensive strategy is at least effective in this ring. Curry chose to pass the ball after a few dribbles and found that there was no good shooting angle. Then Klay Thompson's shot missed. The Warriors' offensive was over. .

Conversely, Jiang Hao made a decisive decision on the offensive end. Using the gap between Curry and Thompson's running positions, he instantly broke through the perimeter defense and went straight to the basket. Drummond Green's defensive awareness is very good, he directly gave up and Aldridge The entanglement directly cooperates with Pachulia to form an encirclement against Jiang Hao.

However, at this moment, Jiang Hao suddenly slowed down and chose a floater. After swishing the basketball a few times on the hoop, he still got into the hoop.

"Well done, China Jiang's offensive thinking is very clear, he knows that Drummond and Pachulia have formed a siege around him, so he decisively chose to shoot on the spot"

The atmosphere at the AT&T Center became active, and Jiang Hao's performance seems to be pretty good so far.

After playing several waves of slow-paced offenses in the beginning, the Warriors chose to speed up. The seat team's offensive round engine Curry knew very well that it is definitely unwise to fight a slow-paced battle with a veteran of positional warfare like the Spurs, so he must speed up. .

Curry quickly proved his determination with his actions. After advancing to the front court with the ball, he hit a three-pointer directly against Parker. For Curry, he often made such a goal in the game. shot selection.

Danny Green didn't seem to have a good touch on the offensive end tonight. Parker broke through and passed the ball to him who was unguarded in the left corner, but he missed the shot. Fortunately, the old Gasol took advantage of his height and grabbed the offensive rebound. .

This time, Jiang Hao, who was also in the open position, did not disappoint everyone again. He raised his knife and hit his first three-pointer of the game.

The Spurs fans couldn't bear it any longer. Under the leadership of the DJ on the spot, they began to cheer for the home team crazily. Everyone found that the team played very well in the opening stage, especially the starter Jiang Hao, who made 3 of 3 shots and got Scored 7 points, which is completely the performance of a star player. If you come to score, with a full score of 9, everyone thinks that Jiang Hao can get at least [-] points.

In the next few waves of offense, the Warriors strengthened their defense against Jiang Hao. They found that they could no longer let Jiang Hao take such comfortable shots. Obviously, this Chinese player is very wicked, and his shooting percentage was surprisingly high tonight.

In this way, the first quarter of the game entered an official timeout. At 19:18, the Spurs not only did not fall behind at home, but also maintained the lead with a slight advantage of 1 point, which is very rare.

And there is no doubt that Jiang Hao, who has scored 9 points, has become the focus of everyone's heated discussion. Before the game started, some fans felt that it was a very risky choice for Popovich to let Jiang Hao start tonight. It's just a question of winning or losing, which may have an impact on Jiang Hao's mentality, after all, he is a rookie.
