Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Smiling Assassin Doesn't Smile
Just when everyone had not recovered from the last wonderful goal, Jiang Haoran actually accelerated back to the half court and directly stole the Celtic's serve. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He saw through David Lee's passing route and completed the steal!
Thomas Jr. tried hard to chase the black figure of his serve, but Jiang Haoran was completely ahead of him by one position, coming and going like the wind, and directly scored an empty basket with one hand.
Jiang Haoran got the fourth point of his career in this way, ten seconds after the previous goal.
"Thomas, what are you doing?" David Lee complained that such a low-level mistake could happen to an NBA team.
This is the most demoralizing, the team's top cards have been exploded continuously, and other newcomers must not be afraid?
Thomas Jr. was stunned on the field and didn't refute, but he just couldn't laugh anymore.
"Little Thomas is a little confused, I hope Jiang Haoran can bring us a more wonderful performance!" Ke Fan saw that it was called dancing, and the Asian point guard was shining in the NBA!
Little Thomas was indeed a little confused by Jiang Haoran, and he had an empty body but it was useless, and Jiang Haoran didn't give him the slightest chance to make physical contact.
The young marshal did not call a timeout, but gave the team another chance.
Obviously, the Green Army did not cherish this opportunity, Olynyk dribbled, Jiang Haoran and Mills exchanged defenses, this rookie saw Jiang Haoran defending himself obviously a little panicked, and the hesitant pass was intercepted, and the conversion was fast.
"Celtic request timeout!" Young marshal Brad Stevens couldn't hold back any longer, scolded Thomas who was starting, the defense was not active, the offense was even weaker, and he was continuously thrown by Jiang Haoran to pull the score to 10 points.
After that, he quickly arranged the outside triangle tactics to defend Jiang Haoran and encouraged the players.
The new Green Shirts have been in a state of reorganization, and they can't disrupt the team's form because of one player.
The timeout on the Spurs' side was much easier, and Jiang Haoran alone took up all the rhythm, which made the other four very relaxed.
However, it is obvious how much Jiang Haoran's physical energy is consumed, and his quick steals and dribbling make him the player who sweats the most now, and he looks out of breath.
"Good-job, Ginger! Just keep playing like this and play at the level of training. Popovich didn't have any other tactics in place, after all, they had so many leads in the first quarter.
"Good!" Jiang Haoran took a big sip of water and said that he could complete the task.
"I love you, Jiang Haoran!" Dressed in battle again, the Spurs lineup has not changed, and Liu Xuefei, who has become Jiang Haoran's fan sister, shouted next to him.
"I love you too!" Jiang Haoran heard the voice and saw that it was reporter Liu Xuefei cheering for himself, and couldn't help but smile.
At the end of the timeout, Isaiah Thomas was replaced, the Celtics prevented Jiang Haoran's breakthrough from the outside iron triangle defense, the Spurs' No. 4 tactic was blocked, and Duncan's physical fitness declined rapidly, unable to block the interior defense.
But, let's not forget that the spurs also have the gibbon Leonard!
Jiang Haoran, who was a little tired, cooperated with Leonard and played a wave of small climaxes at the end of the first quarter, Jiang Haoran hit a three-pointer and two free throws, and scored 10 points, 4 steals and 2 assists in the first quarter.
Jiang Haoran, who completed the task in the second quarter of the game, took a break off the court, Ginobili substituted him to maintain the situation, and Thomas Jr. always looked confused off the court, and he didn't play in the second quarter.
At halftime, the Spurs led by 17 points at 53-36, and the commentators of various countries were busy explaining why the backcourt combination of Jiang Haoran and Leonard, who felt hot, did not play for a minute in the second quarter.
"Popovich is a coach who considers the physical condition of the players, and will not consume the physical energy of the main force in vain when the score is leading, and the Asian player Jiang Haoran significantly reduced the frequency of dribbling in the second half of the first quarter, which shows that the kind of ball that shakes Thomas is not available in every round." ESPN's reporters are serious nonsense.
In fact, this is Popovich's character, press you on the bench when you are performing positively, Jiang Haoran is actually allowed to play physically after resting for half a quarter, not to mention Leonard, a muscle monster, he is a defensive monster who can be tough with James for four quarters, isn't this still pressed on the bench by Popovich?
Back in the half-time lounge, the strange Coach Bobo didn't come over to say anything, leaving the players to chatter on their own.
Ginobili rarely didn't hold headphones to listen to his favorite Latin music, but talked about Jiang Haoran's first goal that shocked the league.
"Jiang, you can get to the top of the TOP10 (NBA Top 10 Balls)." Ginobili laughed, not a single sweat on his bald head.
He plays healthy basketball and basically doesn't sweat much, so he maintains a particularly good condition.
"Well, hopefully." Jiang Haoran is very humble, and his ability to get so many balls is the trust of his teammates, which is not easy at Spurs.
"It's a good pace, you're going to be the light of Asia." Ade finally found his sense in this game, and he also enjoyed Jiang Haoran's fluidity when handling the ball, which was no slower than Parker.
Indeed, after the half-time match, South Korean social networks exploded because of Kang Haoran's wonderful performance.
The name of this streetball action is called Illusory God, and the matter has also been picked up by senior fans, and for a while, "South Korea's 21-year-old defender shakes down God" has become a hot search.
During this period, Zhao Cheng's article published in the magazine that Jiang Haoran was afraid of becoming a mascot was sprayed as ****, Zhao Cheng was scolded as a national traitor, and he was as remorseful as many reporters from ESPN sitting on the sidelines, they all wanted to use Popovich's wrong remarks to stir it up, but they didn't expect to be slapped in the face, and it hurt a lot.
"Looks like I'm a lot lighter." Parker nodded with satisfaction, Jiang Haoran's performance was no less than that of any rookie, daring to play and pass, except for the confrontation and physical fitness that made him unable to stay on the court for too long, there were almost no other shortcomings.
And this shortcoming can also be well compensated for in the Spurs, who did not average more than 30 minutes per game in the regular season last season, and every player was able to get enough rest.
The sports media in Quals City went crazy, and the rookie point guard made 0 turnovers, which is a rare thing to see.
Paul Hank, an old scout who was off the field, watched the game with Zhao Xianjing: "Ben, you signed a good player, I said he was like Jennings, and now it seems that he is likely to catch up with Jennings's level." ”
At the beginning of the second half, the number of people watching the live broadcast of Tencent Sports soared to 10 million, which not only benefited many people from getting up to watch the game, but also because Jiang Haoran's crazy performance made fans full of expectations for his second half.
"Control the tempo, control the game, focus on defending." Popovich was succinct and to the point, and when tactics and personnel were overwhelming, he didn't need to say much.
Unexpectedly, the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding and let Jiang Haoran and Thomas Jr. play again.
These two players had an extreme reversal after the end of the first half and the public opinion before the game, originally everyone wanted to see the smiling assassin abuse the vegetables, but now it is to see Jiang Haoran's IQ suppress the smiling assassin.
So, can the Smiling Assassin smile again in the second half? Can the Asian Miracle hold off Thomas Jr.'s powerful attack?
