Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 93 94 [Quality Idol]

Because the fourth game of the series was still played at the home court of the Spurs, Jiang Hao got in touch with Andre Iguodala smoothly after training the next afternoon.

Jiang Hao felt that it was necessary for him to have a good talk with Iguodala, because he knew what happened to the French center after being dunked by Vince Carter. As far as he knew, it was a very sad story.He doesn't want this kind of thing to happen again to Iguodala, even if he knows Iguodala is a tough guy, he also knows that he and Iguodala have no intersection before.

"Jiang, frankly speaking, that shot was beautiful."

Jiang Hao met Iguodala at a golf course, and Iguodala seemed to be in good spirits at the moment, not as bad as he imagined.

Jiang Hao held Iguodala's hand enthusiastically, without saying anything. He likes Iguodala in this state.

To be honest, Andre Iguodala himself is an NBA player that Jiang Hao respects very much. His character and professionalism can be seen from his unwillingness to intentionally foul Curry.

"So, Andre, if we have the opportunity to work together, I believe that our certain cooperation will be great"

Jiang Hao said what was in his heart, he likes to play with Iguodala, a tough but professional player.

"It's rare that you would think of working with me, so come to Golden State, I don't need to say, you also know what an excellent team the Golden State Warriors are"

Iguodala laughed, he was thinking about the scene where Jiang Hao joined the Warriors, but that can only be thought about, the whole world knows how popular Jiang Hao is in the transfer market in the upcoming offseason , and the Warriors did not have the conditions to sign Jiang Hao during this offseason.

Jiang Hao also laughed when he heard Iguodala's words. Who knows, the nba is the highest stage of basketball, but it is also a business field. To be honest, even if he is the protagonist, he is not sure that he will eventually where to go.

Jiang Hao then chatted with Iguodala a lot, about basketball and football, because both of them like football very much.

On the occasion of parting, Iguodala told Jiang Hao solemnly that he must continue to maintain it, and he looked forward to Jiang Hao being able to create a brand new history.

Jiang Hao readily accepted Iguodala's blessing. Of course, he also saw unwillingness in Iguodala's eyes. Also, as a former fmvp, how could Iguodala be willing to be out like this?
In the afternoon, through Xu Xiaoyi's operation, Jiang Hao had his own Twitter account, and then, the first tweet Jiang Hao sent was a photo of him and Iguodala on the golf course, with the caption: Two An alien who can't play golf.

With Jiang Hao's current popularity in the United States, he was quickly known by many netizens as soon as he opened his Twitter account. Therefore, when he posted his first tweet, it was naturally wildly publicized.

For netizens, when they saw the pictures of Jiang Hao and Andre Iguodala talking and laughing on Jiang Hao's Twitter, they also sincerely gave Jiang Hao and Iguodala a thumbs up.

A tough guy, a humble guy, there's no reason not to be recognized by them.

It must be admitted that after people saw the arrogant bayonet in the game and such a friendly bayonet outside the basketball court, American netizens' impression of Jiang Hao is changing rapidly.

It turns out that Bayonet is such a person. His arrogance in the game seems to be all for the game, but in real life, he is so humble and low-key.

That's right, Jiang is a Chinese player. They have seen this kind of trait from an oriental man in Yao Ming.

"It is a gratifying picture that the first-year rookie China Jiang is becoming a high-quality idol, and he is being recognized by more and more people. I think this is not just a picture of him talking and laughing with Andre Iguodala , Maybe people have to try to learn more about this Chinese boy." Stephen A. Smith spoke again, and it seems that since the Warriors were beaten 3:0 in the series, he has more and more comments on Jiang Hao.

"I respect the young people who have joined the league in recent seasons, but I still have to say that Jiang is the best one"

Rich Paul and LeBron James are such a shrewd partner. How could they let go of this kind of enthusiasm and this opportunity to further enhance LeBron James' popularity in China?
Therefore, under the operation of Rich Paul, LeBron James directly expressed his praise to Jiang Hao in the Cavaliers training hall.

The influence of LeBron James is unparalleled. With him making Jiang Hao popular, it is impossible for Jiang Hao not to be famous.

Therefore, when the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals series officially approached, Jiang Hao had completely become famous in the United States.

In the past, only some Americans knew that the San Antonio Spurs had a Chinese player, but now, most Americans know about it, and everyone also knows that the Chinese player is Jiang Hao, and his performance on the court is even stronger than before. Yao Ming, the "little giant of the East", must be strong. At the same time, everyone knows that this Chinese player is as humble and low-key as Yao Ming.

After Jiang Hao walked into the arena with a backpack on his back, he was also very surprised when he turned on his phone and learned of his current influence. He did not expect that social media has such a powerful function.

Of course, for Spurs general manager RC Buford, the more popular Jiang Hao is, the less happy he is, because it means that the possibility of them keeping Jiang Hao during the offseason is further decreasing.

Although he had already officially stated to Rich Paul that they would keep Jiang Hao, in fact, he felt a trace of deliberate alienation from Rich Paul's tone.

Of course he knew what that guy Rich Paul was thinking, he just hated iron and steel.

The Spurs themselves are a small city team, and it is difficult to survive. With Holman, a "poor" and short-sighted owner, it is basically difficult to retain players.

Frankly speaking, he, RC Buford, really wants to slap Holt, the boss, because Holman is responsible for this situation.

When it was decided to make Jiang Hao's two-way contract regular, both he and Popovich hoped that the team could sign a three-year basic salary with Jiang Hao, because at that time, they had already received Jiang Hao's contract. I saw some potential in him, including the scouting department, which also reflected this to Holman at the time, but unexpectedly, Holman rejected his and Popovich's suggestion on the grounds that Jiang Hao is not a Chinese insider .

He is the boss, and Holman will pay the player's salary after all. So, after insisting for a while, RC Buford signed a one-year basic salary with Jiang Hao after changing hands.

Now it seems that this is simply a big joke.

What made him worry about RC Buford was not just how to keep Jiang Hao. In fact, he was almost exhausted by Leonard's affairs during this time.

The result is little effect.

This is the point that frustrates Buford the most. After working hard for so long, Leonard's team still hasn't given much sign of a turnaround.

Although the outside world does not know about this, it is no secret that Leonard is leaving within the 30 teams.

What annoyed him was that just two hours ago, Elvin Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers said on the phone that they hoped to get Leonard and Jiang Hao at the same time this summer.

Buford felt that Elvin Johnson was daydreaming. Even if the Spurs couldn't keep Leonard and Jiang Hao in the end, he never wanted them to go to the Lakers.

Buford intends to be on the scene tonight to witness the team's next victory, thus winning the Western Conference Championship and advancing to the finals with a 4:0 record.

For him, this may be the only thing that makes him happy during this period. After crossing the hurdle of the Golden State Warriors, the probability of the team winning the O'Brien Cup this year has been further improved. After all, this year's Cleveland Cavaliers are recognized as not strong this year. If the team can get the Golden State Warriors 4:0, then it can also get the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And once the team finally wins the O'Brien Cup, the market value of the Spurs will definitely usher in an increase. Starting from the footsteps of owner Holt, this is already the biggest compensation.

As an employee of Holt, he, Buford, would be considered a comfort if he finally made money for Holt.

It's just that when he thinks that the team may become one of the most tragic teams in nba history this summer, he feels a little uncomfortable.

The original scene should be the pinnacle of Leonard + Jiang Hao who turned out, and will have a very good chance to help the Spurs create a new dynasty after the GDP combination.

But what about reality?

The Spurs, who just won the championship, are about to lose two cores at once, and will suddenly change their minds and work hard for their rise again.

And another scary fact is that if the team wins the championship this season, Gregg Popovich, an old man who has worked with him for more than 20 years, may also leave.

Salary from the bottom of the pot?

For a moment, he, RC Buford, even wanted to leave.

.........

Just like what people analyzed after the end of the third game, the overall situation of the series has basically been set. For the defending champions, their chances of reversing the comeback are getting slimmer and slimmer. The fourth game of the tournament is considered to be a fight for the honor of the defending champion.

People now hope that the defending champion can win a game, because once the Spurs actually complete a 4-0 sweep, it will be too painful.

At least one good or bad background wall appeared, many years later, when people talk about the history of the nba, such a conversation may be held.

"Hey guys, remember? The Golden State Warriors are a very famous defending champion. They got shaved off by the San Antonio Spurs."
