Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 61 [61]

A day later, the Trail Blazers played at the Moda Center, and the two sides played the second game of the series.

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, many people suddenly felt that the smell of the game was wrong.

That is, the Spurs starting point guard Jiang Hao appears to be extremely aggressive.

In the first wave of offense, when Jiang Hao advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, he didn't hesitate, and directly rushed to the basket with the ball, and then used Aldridge's blocking to cover.

Bang!
Quickly completed a very violent aesthetic dunk.

Jiang Hao is not the kind of person who likes to dunk in the game, even since the entire playoffs, no one has seen him dunk.

But what happened tonight?Coming up is a dunk.

"Beautiful, China Jiang's dunk is extremely lethal. He told everyone that it's not that he can't dunk, he just doesn't want to dunk."

Matt Bonner led the fans to praise Jiang Hao's dunk from the perspective of visual impact.

After completing a slam dunk, Jiang Hao did not stop his attack, and then he completed a steal on Lillard's pass on the defensive end, and then staged a speed and passion, after quickly rushing to the frontcourt, a A deadly chasing three-point shot burst out.

Swish!
The start of the game was less than 1 minute, but Blazers head coach Stotts had no choice but to request a timeout immediately.

Jiang Hao forced him to do so with an unreasonable 5:0.

The Spurs bench, Popovich looked a little better, that's right, Jiang Hao has to show this decisive momentum, he was in this state in the series against the Rockets, and the facts have proved that none other than me Jiang Hao in this state really has the ability to become the person in his heart.

Popovich didn't say anything to Jiang Hao, he just took a deep look at Jiang Hao, and then told the whole team to pay attention to the smooth transition between offense and defense. When necessary, Aldridge and Pau Gasol can The position is slightly pulled out, after all, the Blazers' inside line does not have too strong pulling ability.

After returning from the timeout, although the Blazers strengthened their defense against Jiang Hao, Stotts found that this seemed useless.

Because the Spurs No. 35 is like a different person tonight. He is very decisive in handling the ball, passing the ball when he should pass, and attacking when he should attack without hesitation.

Neither Lillard nor McCollum seemed able to keep up with him.

Swish!
"Jiang's crazy, again, he almost beat the Portlanders with his own strength, God, this is incredible, Jiang has scored 20 points, this is the playoffs, this is the semifinals of the playoffs "

Matt Bonner felt that he was short of words, and he didn't know what words he should use to praise Jiang Hao's performance.

The entire Moda Center fell into complete silence at this time. From the perspective of the home fans, even though they booed all the time, they felt tired. Is that Spurs No. 35 really a human?He killed a team by himself.

41: 22!

This is the score of the two teams after the first quarter of the game. The leading side is the Spurs. They scored a crazy 41 points in the first quarter, directly expanding the point difference to 19 points.

Those who have witnessed this game must admit that, strictly speaking, the entire Trail Blazers were blown up by No. 35 of the Spurs alone.

Because the Spurs can have the current good situation, 80.00% is due to Jiang Hao.

In the first quarter of the game that just passed.This crazy No. 35 scored a total of 20 points and 6 assists.

Whether it's an outside three-pointer or a breakthrough with the ball, it's like being possessed by God, and it's all terrible.

As a commentator at the scene expressed emotion, the Portlanders seem to be fighting against God during the past period of time.

Popovich finally laughed. In fact, he was also very shocked at this time. Although he knew that Jiang Hao was very strong in his other state, he didn't expect it to be so strong.

20 points and 6 assists in a single quarter, is this kid playing this level of competition as a summer league?

Or, I still don't understand this child?So where is the upper limit of this child?
"What a seedling, he is our future"

Popovich whispered to Englander.

But the latter had to shake his head helplessly. The better Jiang Hao performed, the less likely he would stay.

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere on the Spurs bench, the atmosphere on the Trail Blazers side is particularly serious.

Damian Lillard clenched his fists tightly, his face was extremely ugly, because it’s not just the score pressure for them now, listen, the fans are already dissing them crazily, it’s obvious that everyone treats them The performance in the first quarter was very disappointing.

Spurs No. 35!
Lillard read these words silently in his heart. He couldn't stand a rookie being so presumptuous in the Moda Center.

Therefore, as a team leader, he must respond in the second quarter.

Lillard played the full first quarter, but when the second quarter started, he refused coach Stotts' rest instruction and continued to appear on the court.

People have always loved fighters.

Such Lillard quickly regained the hearts of the home fans, so, soon, the entire Moda Center returned to the atmosphere that the City of Tear should have.

The home fans wanted to see Lillard go berserk. Zhang saw the scene of Lillard blasting the Spurs No. 35 head-on, but Jiang Hao didn't cooperate.

Because at this time he was already on the bench.

With the team leading by 19 points in the first quarter, Popovich will never let Jiang Hao continue to appear on the court. If possible, he even hopes that Jiang Hao will be in the next game of this game , do not appear.

Because he's seen what he wants to see through the first quarter.

As the leading star of the Trail Blazers, Lillard does have a few brushes. After he entered the runaway mode, he also felt overwhelming and succeeded on the offensive end one after another.

He scored 10 points in just half of the second quarter. Following this momentum, after the first half, he might be able to score 20 points in a single quarter like Jiang Hao.

But a very embarrassing fact is that even if Lillard entered the runaway mode, even if he scored 10 points in half a quarter, the team's point difference with the Spurs has always remained above 15+.

This is very frustrating.

And the reason is very simple, that is, almost every player of the Spurs performed very well tonight, each of them was very decisive when they shot, like a machine, never hesitated, even if they failed to hit the shot , but that momentum has always existed.

therefore.In this case, Damian Lillard's outburst is more like a lone hero.
