Steve Kerr took the lead in making personnel adjustments when the game lasted more than three minutes in the fourth quarter, and the starting five were replaced one after another.
Popovich followed closely behind and also issued substitution instructions.
This means that there is basically no suspense in tonight's game, and the Spurs will upset the Warriors at home.
38 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds!
People gave as much applause and cheers as possible to the biggest contributor tonight - Jiang Hao. Tonight, Jiang Hao turned into a superstar, showing his dominance on both offense and defense, and abruptly led the team from Golden State.
Grab a victory here.
125:111!
In the end, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the fans still felt like it was a dream.
Did San Antonio not win?
San Antonio has never won like this before.
"Let us congratulate the San Antonio Spurs for winning this game, let us congratulate Gregg Popovich for harvesting a young talent like China Jiang, and let us congratulate China Jiang for looking so good in his first game.
Perfect"
Matt Bonner expressed his inner mood at this moment with three congratulations in a row, and so did everyone else who paid attention to this game.
The atmosphere in the TNT live broadcast room is a bit joyful.
"God, you actually sent Gregg Popovich such a rookie?" O'Neal acted exaggeratedly and used a series of funny actions to express his inner shock.
Frankly speaking, whether in his playing days or his commentary career, he has never seen a rookie like Jiang Hao. Is this the peak of his debut? O'Neal thinks it should be a god descending to earth.
Half an hour ago, he was still arguing with Kenny Smith about this young man's future. Maybe he was right, China Jiang would only be a little better than Jeremy Lin.
But judging from this game, this yellow-faced performance is undoubtedly phenomenal, and he has the potential to achieve everything.
"Listen, guys, I will continue to pay attention to this guy's performance. If he can continue this outstanding performance, I think I will become his fan." This is O'Neal's disguised argument before taking back the bridge with Kenny Smith.
part.
But at this time, no one thinks he is like a clown, because everyone, like O'Neal, has more expectations for the future of this Chinese player.
"I'm thinking about another question. Although China Jiang is this year's second-round pick, the Spurs only signed a one-year minimum salary contract with him. I don't know what happened in the middle. What I want to talk about is that if he continues to improve,
What about when the contract expires this summer?"
Charles Barkley's remarks were very tricky, which stunned the Spurs fans who were in the midst of joy.
This summer?
Unless the team is willing to pay all the price for Jiang Hao, the only outcome will be to part ways.
Everyone quickly came to a helpless fact.
It is conceivable that Jiang Hao, who continues to perform brilliantly, will be chased by many NBA teams this summer. Whether it is the potential he represents or the Chinese market behind him, he will become a crazy pursuit for other teams.
power.
By then, in the face of this crazy competition, the Spurs can only be in an increasingly passive situation. Looking at the team's current salary space, their ability to match offers is simply stretched.
"This depends on Holman's courage, and also depends on RC Buford's operational ability. Compared with other teams, the Spurs at least have the priority to renew the contract. They can match any offer, but based on every deal the Spurs have made over the years,
transaction, the probability that China Jiang will leave is as high as 80%," O'Neill said.
…………
The Spurs won. This game against the Warriors showed everyone how wonderful it is for the Spurs to have Jiang Hao. Spurs fans should be happy for the team, but at this time they are not happy. I hope
Jiang Hao can still stay here this summer.
"Oh my god, 38 points, I think Jiang Hao is creating a miracle"
On the other side of the ocean, in the Tencent Sports Studio, Wang Meng said with great emotion.
"Yes! Jiang Hao did something we never dared to think about before. He actually led the Spurs, who were missing Leonard, to defeat the defending champion and scored 38 points in the game. If I remember correctly,
Yao Ming's single-game scoring record in the NBA is 41 points. If we compare it, we will see how terrifying this score is."
Wang Zixing on the side also looked incredulous.
Frankly speaking, compared to Jiang Hao, whether it is the media or fans, everyone obviously has more hope for Zhou Qi, who plays for the Rockets. After all, unlike Jiang Hao who played in the NCAA before, everyone watched Zhou Qi land in the NBA step by step.
It's like the eldest and second eldest child in a big family. Subconsciously, parents want the eldest child to be the first to succeed.
Wang Meng and Wang Zixing sighed in the studio, and how could the domestic fans feel the same?
Forums, post bars, and communities are almost all flooded by Jiang Hao. The words "Jiang Hao 38 points" immediately topped the Weibo hot search list.
In the era of self-media, this kind of public opinion frenzy is simply normal.
"Jiang Hao is the player who can succeed in the NBA"
"For comparison, our "big devil" is still practicing in the Development League. This has something to do with D'Antoni and himself. After all, Jiang Hao also started in the Development League."
"Forget about Zhou Qi. It was reported some time ago that he is still eating junk food. He is really a brat who cannot be taught."
………
Fans are like this, they rarely can be rational, while exclaiming how powerful Jiang Hao is, on the other hand they have to pull Zhou Qi out and step on him.
"Jiang Hao has two virtues? I am still better than the old man. Will my big dog thorn have the strength to compete for the championship this year?"
In a famous domestic basketball forum, a netizen nicknamed "Don't touch your head, idiot" posted this post that quickly became a hot topic of discussion.
The scene from last season's Western Conference Finals is still fresh in everyone's mind. Everyone has seen what a healthy Leonard can bring to the Spurs.
If he is paired with Jiang Hao, who can share the pressure on both offense and defense, it seems really possible to break out of the Western Conference and reach the top of the league.
For a time, the fans were filled with endless reverie, especially the Spurs fans. They wanted to see the Spurs win the championship again, and they even wanted to see the Spurs with Jiang Hao win the championship.
Even the Warriors fans in the forum chose to remain silent at this time.
Jiang Hao or the Warriors?
This is a difficult choice.
But you have to choose, they are probably on Jiang Hao's side.
You can say that this is not the behavior of a mature fan group, but when you truly understand the Chinese, you will find that this is the most appropriate choice they have made.
Chapter completed!
