Chapter 560: Pioneering

This also proves how much Paul has experience in playing the Spurs, the last lore in the seven-game battle seems to be vivid, and now things are wrong, Spurs fans can shout loudly:

"We have a key killer in Spurs!"

Because Jiang Haoran has the highest average score against the Clippers in the West, averaging 21.4 points per game, there is a reason for him to eat and sleep and play the Clippers, and the data is here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, after the game, it is not like the last game to refuse to interview, the Spurs' press officer Tom has already received a penalty from the league, and the Spurs have repeatedly avoided interviews with the media who have obtained the interview card, intentionally or unintentionally, and even did not attend the press conference twice or did not press the conference directly, making the opponent feel at a loss.

So this time basically every player was asked in the dressing room.

When asked by an ESPN reporter about the sluggish performance of Leonard, one of the JK pairs, he said: "We need him, and when you send Leonard to defend the opposing scorer, it's definitely not a bad defensive measure. In other words, we had a good offense today, and he [Leonard] was able to focus on the defense he liked! ”

"JK combo, I'm in charge of offense, he's in charge of defense, well, that's it." Jiang Haoran replied like this, bypassing the reporter's question about Leonard's fact that he actually shot 16 times......

Popovich finally came out to answer reporters' questions, and he said enough at once: "The team needs Leonard's defense, and he has done a lot, and he can't be expected to be perfect every game." ”

When asked about Jiang Haoran's crazy rhythm in the fourth quarter for two consecutive games, Bobo said: "Jiang is a rhythm master, I am lucky that he is on our side, otherwise I want to cry." ”

Sag wanted to complain: cry wool, pick up the baby and sell it.

'I have to say that he's playing at [the other] level and it's great to see how good he's become." -- Rivers on Jiang Haoran.

'He's really good at shooting, he's shooting well, but they need him and he's going to come out [of a bad shot], and he's done that every season." -- Rivers on Jeff Green.

'Paul will be a great player and I'm sure he'll take the team far, far away.' Rivers on Chris Paul.

As a result, there were several comments from Hupu netizens

Yu Zu Cc: "It's no longer far from the floor of the West Decision." ”

Pantang: "The farthest distance in the world is not to win the defending champion, but to step on the floor of the Western Final!" ”

……

After this game, everyone's eyes are on the next game between the Spurs and the Warriors, the strongest spear VS the strongest shield in the second round, and it depends on what kind of response the Spurs will give.

The Spurs have also been nervous in training recently, and the dignity of being unbeaten at home cannot be ruined in the hands of the Warriors.

Jiang Haoran is stronger now, and Leonard's defense is more perfect, can he beat the Warriors who are running for 73 wins?

Before that, let's play the Trail Blazers!

On March 17, Ade entertained former teammate Lillard. Jiang Haoran received a schedule from Zhao Xianjing on the 19th, which is a warm-up for Tencent Sports to do for the Spurs to play the Warriors, and Jiang Haoran needs to do something personally, and Jiang Haoran will also follow, because surprisingly, Popovich will have a half-day vacation on the 19th.

On March 18, the Spurs played against the Lillard-led Trail Team in full force and prepared to play the Warriors.

Since the Spurs have been playing continuously at home recently, there are no rotations, no sandwiches, only full health!

At the beginning, everyone played Ade, and Ade, who played the old owner, was going to regret the owner of the Trail Blazers, so he made a shooting foul at the beginning to kick off, and Aminu scored the first point for the Trail Blazers with a three-point shot.

Both sides got off to a great start, with Aldridge and Parker scoring to help the Spurs steal points, while the Trail Blazers relied on Lillard's shot and McCollum's three-pointer to take the lead.

In Jiang Haoran's absence, Parker had a particularly hard time defending Lillard, but fortunately, Bobo made timely adjustments, letting Green defend Lillard and Parker go to the wing to defend shooter Crabbe, which would be easier.

The Spurs' counterattack was sharp and fast, and it took only eight seconds for the Spurs to go from grabbing a rebound to Duncan's layup and scoring on an attack.

However, the Trail Blazers are not worse than the speed of the counterattack, Crabbe hit a long shot inside the three-point line, and Lillard assisted Davis to make a layup It only took 10 seconds, and the Trail Blazers' sharp counterattack made the Spurs a little overwhelmed, Lillard scored 4 points with free throws at the end, and the Trail Blazers led the Spurs by 5 points at 28-23.

The conversion offense that the Spurs are good at has suffered without Jiang Haoran! This also makes Spurs fans realize the importance of Jiang Haoran in the system, fast break vs. fast attack, the Trail Blazers are obviously better at the backcourt, without Asian speed Jiang, the Spurs lack an offensive arrow, although Leonard dribbles well, but once you don't lose the ball, you have to slow down.

But Jiang Haoran belongs to the kind of person who doesn't slow down when he dribbles, so he is especially important in the transition offense.

Returning from the second quarter, the Spurs' state was still in a decent state, the Trail Blazers' counterattack was still sharp, Crabbe hit another long-range shot inside the three-point line, and McCollum counterattacked quickly and made an easy layup.

The Pioneer coach also seems to have discovered this weakness of the Spurs, specializing in transitions and not playing positional offense.

Under the stalemate, the Spurs finally turned over in the presence of Jiang Haoran and Leonard at the same time, Dio forced it to play 2+1, Jiang Haoran hit a three-point drift back in anger and led the Heat to play an 8-0 offensive to overtake the score in one fell swoop.

The Trail Blazers, who were suddenly behind, were not left behind, and McCollum's pull-up key three-pointer helped them equalize. Neither side had the upper hand in the stalemate, and the Spurs relied on free throws from Aldridge and Mills to end the first half 56-54.

Jiang Haoran's Heavenly Emperor's Eye didn't use it much, and McCollum's hand had already been played, which was a bit difficult to restrict.

However, after the halftime break, the Spurs finally came into play in the third quarter, Aldridge entered the state from the moment he stepped on the court, he hit a shot at the beginning, and then made a strong attack to make it 2+1, he scored 7 points in a row at the beginning, plus Leonard's three points, the Spurs sent a wave of 10-0 offensive to establish a double-digit lead in one fell swoop.

After returning from a timeout, the Trail Blazers relied on Vonleh's goal to break the deadlock, and gradually regained their form and began to fight back, and McCollum scored a key three-pointer to close the score.

However, the Spurs soon responded, Duncan's signature jumper hit the board, Leonard hit a three-point shot from the outside, and the Spurs turned the situation around and took the initiative, and with Leonard and Mills hitting three points one after another, the Spurs' lead once reached as many as 19 points! At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs led the Trail Blazers 95-78 into the fourth quarter.
