Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 56 56 [Interaction Biao]

However, Jiang Hao's next choice was beyond most people's expectations.

Ignoring Leonard's open hand for the ball, Jiang Hao faced Lillard's defense and chose to pull directly.

Although Lillard is short in stature, but because he is very tight, strictly speaking, Jiang Hao's pull is taking a great risk.

Fortunately, Jiang Hao really completed a series, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the sky, and finally got into the basket steadily.

The Moda Center was silent, and it had been a long time since fans of the Rip City had seen such a daring rookie.

At such a critical moment in the playoffs, this rookie dared to make such a choice. The Spurs No. 35 is really well-deserved.

On the court, Jiang Hao's shot selection made Lillard quite angry. He didn't expect that the Chinese rookie in front of him would really ignore his existence. He has never encountered such a situation after entering the league for so many years.

However, this guy really has a big heart.

Lillard was intrigued, and he decided it was necessary to have fun with the rookie.

Therefore, in the next offensive round of the Blazers, when Lillard came to the front with the ball to face Jiang Hao, he even ignored his teammates' request for the ball, and also completed a three-point shot against Jiang Hao.

brush.

The fans' eyes widened. From Lillard's unhesitating 3-pointer, they seemed to understand something.

These two are on the bar.

Of course, Jiang Hao understood Lillard's meaning at this time, so he shrugged and said, what's the matter.

After holding the ball and advancing to the frontcourt, he used Danny Green's cover to complete another shot in an instant.

brush!
Another three-pointer.

"Haha, China Jiang hit two three-pointers in a row. It's really a bloody duel. According to Damian's reaction just now, no surprises, this kind of duel will continue."

Sure enough, when it was the Blazers' turn to attack, Lillard chose the same response.

However, this time he seemed to be unlucky. Although his shooting movements were smooth, he failed to hit the shot.

With Lillard's failed shot, the first contest between the two in this game came to an end temporarily.

Of course, for the Spurs, with Jiang Hao still feeling hot, even Leonard is willing to continue playing for Jiang Hao at this time.

The Spurs' offense was basically supported by Jiang Hao throughout the second quarter.

Therefore, at the end of the first half, Jiang Hao had already scored 24 points, and he is currently the player with the highest score of the two teams.

Relying on Jiang Hao's outstanding performance, the Spurs further widened the point difference in the second quarter, 50:40!They widened the point difference to 10 points.

Obviously, this is not good news for the Blazers playing at home. Frankly speaking, the Blazers did not perform badly in the first half, they were just a little uncomfortable being restricted by the Spurs' defense.

Whether it is Danny Green, Dejounte Murray, or even Leonard, they have put a lot of pressure on the Blazers on the defensive end.

In this case, the adjustment of the intermission time is particularly important for the Blazers. If they can't find a suitable rhythm to open the situation in the third quarter, then they may be like being warmed in this game. Like boiling a frog, lose the game in peace.

"I don't know, maybe he was on drugs, I suggest the league should take him to a drug test after the game"

During the intermission, Gregg Popovich accepted a sideline interview, but obviously, tonight's old man was a little naughty and didn't want to cooperate with reporters.

When the reporter asked him why Jiang Hao was in such good condition, the old man actually started a joke.

Ok.

The ESPN reporter was a little helpless. Every interview with Popovich is always a difficult task, because this old man is like a child, he doesn't cooperate with you.

But in fact, what the ESPN reporter didn't know was that although Popovich was joking in words tonight, in his heart, he also felt incredible about Jiang Hao's performance in the first half of the game.

there has never been.

Popovich swears that he has been the head coach of the Spurs for so many years, but he has never met a rookie like Jiang Hao.

The rookie broke out in the first year, that is, the legendary debut is the peak. This situation is understandable to Popovich, because in the history of the NBA, there have been more than one such players.

But, you are already in the playoffs, why are you still so fierce?And judging by the situation, it is getting more and more fierce one after another.

Popovich felt that Leonard, who he had been waiting for for a long time, had no sense of presence in the game just now.

God, stop joking, the playoffs are the stage for superstars, is China Jiangquan a superstar?
He Popovich felt that it was not too hot.

However, isn't it even more unbelievable that a player who has not yet become a superstar has played a superstar performance?

Popovich has some happy troubles. At the beginning of the season, facing the old, weak, sick and disabled lineup, he never expected to be in this situation. When will the San Antonio Spurs run out of players?
After leaving the ESPN reporter in a daze, Popovich turned his head arrogantly and walked to the locker room.

"How about the calf?"

After Popovich returned to the locker room, he immediately came to Jiang Hao, who was putting ice on his right calf.

Although he played well in the first half, he was accidentally kicked by a Blazers defender in the right calf during a rebound at the basket. He didn't feel much pain at the time and thought it was nothing.

As a result, I didn't expect to be numb directly at that time, and now it looks like there is still some bleeding.

"There's nothing wrong with the boss, you know, it's inevitable"

Jiang Hao shook his head. He was already mentally prepared. After playing a game in the NBA, he wanted to keep his whole body free from bruises. That was simply impossible. The only thing the players prayed for was that they would not Just get hurt.

"Why is the state so fierce? I think as a reward, after a while after the game, you have to treat everyone to dinner"

Popovich laughed, he likes Jiang Hao more and more now.

"Forgive me, boss, you know, I'm broke now"

Jiang Hao cried poorly on purpose, he just wanted to make the atmosphere in the locker room more active, as for the treats, there is no problem, now he is no longer the shy and down-and-out boy last year, let alone a treat, Even if he asked ten times, he would not blink.

Regarding money, Jiang Hao's consistent attitude is that he would rather be a pauper than work hard for money all his life, thinking about such a life is quite boring.
