48 [Double Happiness Comes to the Door]
"James Harden has never been a big-game player. This is why I have been emphasizing that throughout the 21st century, even if he has 40 in the regular season, he can only rank behind Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade, even alone.
In terms of key ball ability, he can’t even compare to Klay Thompson.”
Because he also has a big butt, Charles Barkley has always been very optimistic about Harden, but tonight, at this moment, he was angry in TNT. Such Harden made him extremely disappointed.
"That's true. You all know that Kobe Dwyane and I have both played together, and the performance of those two guys at critical moments never disappoints."
Shark O'Neal sighed. Although he also wanted the Rockets to win, in the face of reality, he could only express his regrets. After all, Harden could not become the most perfect shooting guard, he was just a pseudo-super giant.
The Toyota Center once again emptied out before the game was over, and every Rockets fan left the arena with disappointment on their faces.
For them, the 2017-2018 season is basically over.
The Houston Rockets, who couldn't win a single game at home, could only end up being swept out of the series.
It's really heartbreaking to think about that scene.
beep!
On the court, the game was over, and the Spurs once again became the final winner. At this moment, all the players celebrated like they had won the championship.
Frankly speaking, before this series started, they really didn't think they had a chance to win this series.
After all, their opponent is the Houston Rockets, who can't even suppress the four-star Warriors.
As Patty Mills joked, he even had vacation plans planned.
But what now?
They actually won two games in a row at Toyota Center and directly took a 2-0 lead in the series.
The Spurs win!
The Spurs win again!
The entire alliance was in shock.
How is this possible?
Many people twisted their necks with difficulty.
However, this is the fact. They currently hold a huge 2:0 lead. With the Spurs' strength at home this season, they have a very good chance of defeating the Rockets and advancing to the next round.
And Jiang Hao once again became the team hero.
Although 19 points is not too high, his five blocks in the game shocked everyone.
Is he a center forward?
Some fans even asked rhetorically.
"Yes, he is my girlfriend, we are in love with each other..."
After winning the second game of the series, Spurs No. 35 officially announced his private emotions in front of the media.
And this, Wuxi made him more topical.
Of course, anyone who knows the inside story knows that Rich Paul is the main promoter. Jiang Hao originally did not intend to be so high-profile, but Rich Paul was so good at taking advantage of loopholes that he told Jiang Hao that this was a great opportunity.
In desperation, Jiang Hao chose to cooperate.
However, there are benefits to doing this. For example, Xu Xiaoyi herself was very happy and followed Jiang Hao directly back to San Antonio. She did not plan to return to China for the time being. She wanted to wait for Jiang Hao's season to be completely over. For this reason, she specially talked to the leader
After taking a short vacation, she hoped that Jiang Hao could continue playing in the Western Conference Finals, the Finals, and then win the O'Brien Cup.
After all, before this, no Chinese player had ever won the O'Brien Cup as a main player.
As a little girl, Xu Xiaoyi certainly has some selfish motives. Who doesn't want her husband to be unparalleled in the world?
When Jiang Hao and the others returned to San Antonio, the fans there received another exciting news, that is, Leonard decided to come back again.
Spurs fans are excited. Leonard's comeback is so crucial. Everyone is worried that even if the team defeats the Rockets, it will be difficult to last longer. After all, the teams behind them are stronger.
But now that the team leader is coming back, this is simply a miracle coming from heaven. With Leonard, San Antonio can definitely stand and say that they have the possibility to defeat all teams.
Last season, Popovich was able to lead the team to the Western Conference Finals just by relying on "Double Germany", let alone this season's lineup.
The core is still "double virtues", but whether it is Jiang Hao, Murray, or even Rudy Gay, they can let their opponents see their abilities on the court.
Especially Jiang Hao, his performance in these two games with the Rockets was even perfect, he was the best in the game.
In the eyes of many people, after Leonard came back, Jiang Hao is now the veritable second-in-command. He may not be as good as Leonard for the time being, but he is already better than Aldridge.
"None of us thought that as they competed in the playoffs, the San Antonio Spurs gradually became a veritable dark horse. After Kawhi Leonard returned, they seemed to have the possibility to defeat all opponents.
Even if this opponent is the Golden State Warriors"
"It's true. The San Antonio Spurs are showing their sophistication to everyone. They have been the top team in the league for so many years. Just when we thought they were going to disappear again and again, they stood up again, and they are
Take a tougher stance"
"Maybe Steve Kerr and the others are a little panicked at the moment, haha. Leonard's injury last season made everything no longer suspense, but Kawhi is back again. Not only is he back, he also brings back a strong player."
A powerful helper, no one has forgotten how China Jiang ended the winning streak of the defending champion."
………
In short, there are many things to say, but one thing everyone agrees on is that the Spurs have accidentally become the top contenders for the O'Brien Trophy this season.
After returning to San Antonio, Jiang Hao and the others did not relax. Popovich has never been a talkative guy. In this kind of bloody playoffs, he knows what is most important.
He didn't want the cooked duck to fly away at once. The great situation of 2:0 cannot be lost by the rookie's relaxation.
So he asked the players to keep training, and they must use the strongest team basketball to win the championship again.
Moreover, Leonard missed almost the entire playoffs, and they used this time to complete the run-in with Leonard.
At the most critical moment, Leonard is still stronger than Jiang Hao now.
Jiang Hao's task these two days is very simple. He often stays in the video room and watches videos. He is watching how Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and other great gods break double teams. Frankly speaking, when the Rockets suddenly attacked in the last game,
When he launches an attack, he may really fall into trouble that night, and by then, everything will be over, so he must find a way to solve it as quickly as possible.
Chapter completed!
