Chapter 766: The pressure is increasing

Popovich probably also knows the importance of G3, and he didn't play any more routine of announcing the starters before the game, and directly told the players that it was Ginobili who would start instead of Leonard on the 23rd. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Leonard's injury report has also come out, there is no structural damage, and G3 is doubtful.

This is good news for everyone, but Popovich also told the players that don't expect Leonard to pop up and play on the 23rd, G3 is already a certainty.

In this regard, the Spurs have not officially disclosed to the outside world, after all, it is related to the sale of tickets and broadcast rights at home, and if there is no Leonard, it will affect a lot, after all, with G2's big comeback, fans know the importance of Leonard to the Spurs, whether it is in terms of outside defense or offensive rebounding.

"It's a good thing that it's okay." Jiang Haoran and the others were relieved when they got the news, there was already one less Parker, and it was really too difficult to play without Leonard, and Leonard has now been determined to be an ordinary sprain, which means that there is still hope to appear again in this round of the series.

And what is the source of hope? That is, the remaining players can stand up and win 1 game, this is the basis for Popovich to send Leonard again, everyone understands Popovich's character, after knowing that there is no hope of winning the series, he will not risk taking the player's athletic life to risk, Leonard is only 25 years old, is the foundation of the Spurs, if the injury is hard, it is too risky.

Coach Lick wrote well in an article today: "If the next game is a tie-break, then Leonard must play!" ”

And Su Qun also predicted the bloodiness of the Western Conference Finals G3 in the "Basketball Herald": "In the case that Leonard is 90% unable to play, the next game has become the most critical battle in the series between the two sides, the Spurs will bite, the Warriors will go all out to win, and this round of the Western Conference Finals will definitely be as exciting as last year's finals!" ”

MBC has never been so nervous, Spurs have always been in the lead, this is back on the edge of the cliff, the whole sports channel is a promotional video to cheer for Jiang Haoran, these promotional videos are very well-made, and it also makes the people want to watch the third game even more.

No one was able to interview the Spurs, they didn't have any thoughts on the last game, they didn't come out to talk about Leonard's problems, they all practiced behind closed doors.

Jiang Haoran exercises his physical fitness in the running field every night until 10 o'clock, and the nutritious diet makes his weight 80kg, which is not obesity, this weight is all added to the weight of his legs, so that Jiang Haoran can better control his body and withstand more impact from opponents.

Becky Harmon was interviewed by reporter WJ, and he revealed: "I have never seen Jiang Haoran who works so hard. ”

All kinds of records are not important to him at all, many people have told Jiang Haoran to try his best to refresh the record of consecutive triple-doubles in the playoffs, this record is likely to be unprecedented, but Jiang Haoran doesn't care at all, according to what he said before, that is:

"I'm not a high school student who entered the league at the age of 18, and I've long lost hope of breaking the record, and if I want to break it, I have to break the highest level (alluding to Jordan and James), and I really don't care about the rest."

At that time, this remark also caused a bloody storm in the media, and now no media dares to question Jiang Haoran's strength, Rao is Jordan and James' rookie season, and Jiang Haoran is not as dazzling, in today's multimedia era, Jiang Haoran has created his own miracle in the Spurs.

So, will the miracle continue?

Whether to stop the West Decisive or the Jedi to fight back, it's up to G3!

On the evening of the 22nd, Jiang Haoran watched the third game of the Raptors VS Cavaliers, which was full of gunpowder, and the Raptors would not let the Cavaliers sweep so easily.

The Raptors returned home with a 0-2 overall score to play the Cavaliers again, and the Raptors got into the groove early in this game, and with a wave of 15-2 offensive in the second quarter, the Raptors quickly established a double-digit lead and established the victory. The Cavaliers then narrowed the score to single digits several times, but to no avail. In the end, DeRozan scored 32 points and took the lead in the Raptors' 99-84 victory over the Cavaliers.

DeMar DeRozan had 32 points, five rebounds and four assists, and Kyle Lowry had 20 points, six rebounds and three assists.

LeBron James had 24 points, eight rebounds and five assists, J.R. Smith had 22 points and five rebounds, and Kyrie Irving had 13 points and four rebounds.

This time it was the Cavaliers who also came out with a pair of garbage brothers, with Irving and Love shooting 0-of-9 from the field in the first quarter.

However, the Raptors did not win on the backcourt double-gun, but on rebounds, Biyombo grabbed 16 rebounds in the first half to set a Raptors playoff half-time rebounding record, Valanciunas once grabbed 15 rebounds in the first half of the game against the Pacers, Biyombo grabbed 10 rebounds in the first quarter, 7 points, 26 rebounds and 4 blocks in the game.

This is similar to the tactics of the Spurs playing the Warriors, it seems that Coach Casey did study how the Spurs played the Warriors, lowered the tempo to play the position, and the Cavaliers scored 84 points in the fourth quarter, which is the role of the Raptors' iron-blooded defense, and Joseph, the 29th pick rookie produced by the Spurs, played a good role in controlling the court on the bench, and he also trusted Casey.

"Now it's our turn." Jiang Haoran opened the window and took a deep breath, the garbage brothers are now setting an example for the Spurs, and after returning to the home court, they are completely different, giving the big brother in the east a blow to the head.

This game has also become the focus of the media, and before the Spurs' G3, the media are analyzing why the Raptors can beat the Cavaliers by 15 points. There is also speculation that Owen has a cold......

"Eh, that's more stressful for us." RC Buford and veteran scout Paul Hanke stood in the audience at the AT&T Center watching the players practice, and they were also discussing the Raptors' big win last night.

"yes, but maybe it's a good thing." The boss of the East Side is tripped up so down, what about the boss of the West? Everyone suddenly has confidence in the Spurs again, and they don't care if the Spurs are missing two main starters.

"Well, the players are training hard." RC Buford finished drinking coffee, he is going to talk about cooperation with the top five medical institutions in the United States this time, and the Spurs' injury needs to be scientifically predicted and treated.

"A replica of the team's peak moments from the 13-14 season?" The little boss Admiral watched the Spurs' training match for half an hour, and the combination of Ginobili + Jiang Haoran was surprisingly strong, because the demon knife has the ability to pass the ball and attack individually, he and Jiang Haoran are very handsome to cooperate with the ball.

The Warriors also came to acclimatize to the venue, and the two teams did not communicate directly and did not face each other in the media because there were still two hours left before the game.

Becky Hamon found Jiang Haoran in the locker room who was testing his sneakers, she was in charge of the team's physical arrangements part-time, and Popovich's substitutions were often decided by listening to Becky Hamon's physical analysis of the players on the spot.

"Jiang, if you have to play more than 40 minutes to win, will you be able to hold it?"
