Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 43 43 [D'Antoni is so angry]

When Jiang Hao is not on the court, the firepower gap between the two teams on the offensive end is reflected, and the Spurs have suddenly dropped a notch on the defensive end.

Only 3 minutes into the second quarter, the Rockets once again gained a 5-point lead.

Popovich turned his head and glanced at Jiang Hao. He felt sorry. Jiang Hao had to play, otherwise he might be hit by the Rockets with a wave of offensive climax.

However, just when he was about to let Jiang Hao end his rest, what happened on the field made him hesitate.

That's when Manu Ginobili went berserk again. Because Jiang Hao was so eye-catching, people forgot about the second elder Ginobili and Parker on the bench.

In fact, these two veterans are the absolute guarantee for the Spurs in the playoffs, especially Manu Ginobili, who will give you the whole point from time to time.

Just like now, he first completed a steal against Harden, and in turn won Harden to complete a three-pointer.

The shot was made.

And caused Harden's shooting foul.

Harden was completely stunned, he put his head in his hands, looking innocent.

What's going on tonight?
First, it was done by a Chinese rookie, and now it has been copied by Ginobili.

Is there any reason for him?This is my skill pack.

And the fans are not calm at this time.

Especially the Spurs players, everyone was very happy. It was so interesting to see James Harden being scored by Jiang Hao and Ginobi in the same way one after another.

You must know that in the four regular season matches, Harden relied on this trick to score points on the Spurs players.

Now is this retribution?

It may be a bit heavy to say that retribution, but it can be regarded as "personal experience".

Of course, there are many fans who definitely don't need to show an innocent look for Harden. After all, who is Manu Ginobili?

In terms of fouls, this guy was not much worse than James Harden in his prime.

Ginobi stabilized the situation instantly with a 3+1.

But D'Antoni had to replace Harden, because Harden had committed 3 fouls before the second quarter was finished.

One was thanks to Ginobili just now, and Jiang Hao did the other two.

In this case, D'Antoni had no choice but to replace Harden. If Harden made another foul on his back, Harden would basically be silent in the second half of the game.

After Harden left the field, the pressure on the Spurs suddenly decreased a lot.

In this case, Popovich turned around and sat down again. He did not continue to let Jiang Hao play.

In terms of bench ability alone, frankly speaking, the Rockets are really no match for the Spurs.

Especially in the presence of Ginobili, the troublemaker, Chris Paul played very uncomfortable with a substitute, and finally hit a shot, but Ginobi used him to pass the ball like a ghost Respond easily.

Therefore, at the end of the first half, the Spurs were still in the lead, and this time the lead was no longer 1 point, but 5 points.

"Our best player is in foul trouble, which is a very important reason, but I have to admit that the opponent played very well overall. The result of this game is really uncertain. Look at D'Antoni at halftime. What kind of adjustments have been made, otherwise the second half will only be more difficult to play."

Blake looked serious. He felt that the Rockets were in trouble tonight.

During the intermission, Jiang Hao chatted with Xu Xiaoyi in the stands on WeChat, because Xu Xiaoyi just arrived in Houston today, so, apart from the brief meeting between the two before the game, they actually had a meal together There is no time for meals.

So at this time, the two were discussing where to eat after the game.

Jiang Hao wants to take Xu Xiaoyi to eat Western food, but Xu Xiaoyi wants to eat Chinese food. Although she is a girl, she seems to like western-style romantic dinners, but in fact, she prefers Chinese food in her bones.

"No matter what to eat, I think we should do something"

Jiang Hao made an expression of crying with joy, which he made clear.

Xu Xiaoyi in the stands blushed, and she rolled her eyes.

"Aren't you tired yet?"

Oh my god, Xu Xiaoyi felt ashamed, she seemed to be teasing Jiang Hao.

"Tired? Nonexistent"

Jiang Hao laughed unconsciously, and this scene was seen by many teammates.

"Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

The Aldridge family looked at Jiang Hao in confusion.

"Oh, nothing"

Jiang Hao waved his hand.

.........

The third quarter started quickly, and after a long break in the second quarter, plus the intermission period, Jiang Hao felt that he was alive and well again.

Popovich also knew that the opening stage of the third quarter was very important, so Jiang Hao returned to the starting lineup unsurprisingly.

At the beginning of the game, like the first quarter, Jiang Hao and Chris Paul formed an offensive and defensive matchup.

It's just that this time the attacker is Jiang Hao.

Facing Paul, who is only 1.83 meters tall, Jiang Hao was ready for singles when he held the ball across the midfield.

The position at the top of the arc, including using both hands to interfere with Jiang Hao's dribbling rhythm as much as possible, but he didn't expect that in the next second, two hands opened and he chose to make a shot.

brush!
hit.

This is Jiang Hao's fifth three-pointer tonight.

The Toyota Center fell silent.

The Rockets fans thought that Jiang Hao's touch would drop after the intermission, but they didn't expect Jiang Hao to hit a three-pointer.

Who can stand this.

"Houston is in trouble now. They can't do anything about China Jiang from the beginning to the end. In turn, their offensive core James Harden is deeply in the quagmire of fouls"

Many commentators at the scene expressed emotion. Before the start of the game, who would have thought that this would be the case.

The so-called hitting a snake and hitting seven inches.

Greg Popovich really did it, strangling the core of the Rockets' offense, then the running and bombing system that D'Antoni is proud of can only become a decoration.

At 5 minutes and 31 seconds into the third quarter, D'Antoni's face became even uglier, that is, James Harden received his fourth foul of the night, and he also got a foul on Danny Green.

D'Antoni feels that Harden is a fool at the moment. Don't you usually dislike defense?Why can't you still actively participate tonight? If you say you defend, you can defend, but you always give warmth to the opponent.

For a few moments, D'Antoni seemed to confirm with the assistant coach, did James Harden really not go to the nightclub last night?
After Harden received his fourth foul, the plight of the Rockets naturally became more severe.

And whether it is Eric Gordon, who played well in the first half, it is difficult to stand up at this time.
