74 [Cole's inner monologue]

What is stretched?

Maybe Steve Kerr will never understand that he will still taste this helpless bitterness in the game despite having four All-Star players in their prime.

Why is this happening?

Is God punishing him? He actually sent such a strange rookie?

Will the dignified defending champion lose a crucial game in such a frustrating game?

The game continues, but the scene that the home fans want to see most has not yet appeared.

Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson, the three top scorers in the league, all failed in the third quarter, the Warriors' best season.

Of course, strictly speaking, their misfire has a lot to do with the strong defensive pressure provided by the Spurs.

Danny Green, Dejounte Murray, and Leonard all put enough pressure on the Warriors on the defensive end.

They were like an iron wall, blocking the defending champion's attacks one after another.

As for Jiang Hao, he still tests the defending champion's psychological defense on the offensive end. Especially after Draymond Green expanded the defensive range, Jiang Hao became more active on the offensive end. He and LaMarcus Aldridge's

Cooperation is increasing. Aldridge, whose performance was average in the first half, only used this time to score 8 points, which can be said to be very efficient.

At 8 minutes and 36 seconds of the third quarter, an angry Green even made an illegal defensive move against Jiang Hao. Draymond Green hoped that through this toughness, Spurs No. 35 would retreat.

But Draymond Green obviously doesn't understand Jiang Hao. His toughness doesn't seem to make Jiang Hao retreat, but instead further helps Jiang Hao.

Immediately, Jiang Hao used a stunning dunk to score against Pachulia, summarizing tonight's game.

80:62!

When the first three quarters of the game ended, almost no one expected that the defending champions would be so humiliated by the San Antonians in their own garden. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before they lost the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

The atmosphere in the entire Oracle Arena was unusually deep. The home fans did not expect such a situation to be waiting for them.

Is this considered revenge?

Some home fans recalled everything that happened in this arena a year ago.

As for the Warriors players, they lowered their arrogant heads one by one at this time. They have maintained this attitude for two years, but tonight, they have no right to remain arrogant.

In front of a first-year rookie, as the defending champion, they actually let him get 30, which is simply unforgivable.

Now the way every Warriors player looks at Jiang Hao has changed.

There is hatred and helplessness.

"Maybe only God knew this would be the case. It's really unbelievable. A first-year rookie actually scored 32 points in three quarters against the defending champion."

Kenny Smith felt that Jiang Hao's crazy performance tonight completely exceeded his understanding of a rookie.

In his many years of commentary career, Kenny Smith has truly never seen a rookie like Spurs No. 35. His performance in such a crucial game looked more like a veteran who has been in the league for many years.

As far as this game is concerned, he almost single-handedly supported the entire Spurs' offense. Although Leonard and Aldridge's statistics look good, they are obviously not at the same level as Jiang Hao.

“Greg Popovich is so lucky to have a player like China Jiang”

O'Neal also sighed with emotion. As a former superstar, O'Neal actually understood that the various performances like Jiang Hao just performed in the game could only be accomplished by a superstar of a team under normal circumstances.

Of course Jiang Hao is not a superstar at this stage, so he thinks this is Gregg Popovich's luck. It is no exaggeration to say that if Jiang Hao continues to maintain this level, there is a high probability of winning the O'Brien Cup this season.

It's the San Antonio Spurs.

"If China Jiang helps the Spurs win the sixth O'Brien Cup in team history in more than half a month, then he will be the most outstanding rookie in the league in the past 10 years." O'Neal said casually, and his opinion was obtained

Kenny Smith totally agrees.

If he hadn't witnessed the rookie seasons of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and others, Kenny Smith would have even wanted to directly say that Jiang Hao is the strongest rookie in the league in the past 20 years.

And even counting the rookie season of the 2003 Platinum Generation and others, as long as Jiang Hao really wins the O'Brien Cup, his ranking will not be much lower.

On the court, the fourth quarter has begun. Although they are lagging behind by a big score, it is impossible for the Warriors to give up at this time.

On the contrary, under the leadership of veteran Iguodala, the entire team's offense seems to be becoming smoother.

After being beaten 6:0, Gregg Popovich immediately requested a timeout. He didn't want to capsize in the gutter.

Jiang Hao did not play at this time, and Popovich handed over the offensive responsibility to Leonard.

As the current leader of this team, Leonard must perform better than Jiang Hao at critical moments in order to live up to his status.

In fact, it is not difficult for Leonard. He is not leading the team's offense tonight, so his physical exhaustion is not serious.

In this case, he is capable of carrying the banner on the offensive end.

Whoosh!

When Leonard completed his personal achievement of 20 points tonight, Steve Kerr closed his eyes in pain. As far as the entire team is concerned, they lost tonight.

96:80!

Seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, with more than 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Cole took the lead in making personnel adjustments, and the main players were replaced one after another, officially announcing the end of the game.

There were boos all over the Oracle Arena. Many people were saying that the home fans were booing the Spurs. But in fact, Steve Kerr knew very well that the home fans were not booing him.

beep!

Finally, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Jiang Hao sat down on the bench.

Although he basically didn't play in the fourth quarter, to be honest, his physical strength was very exhausted. After all, scoring a game-high 32 points was far from easy as imagined.

Of course, he is very excited at this moment. It is no exaggeration to say that tonight's game will be a milestone for Jiang Hao on his journey to becoming a superstar.

Before the start of this game, even he himself did not expect this outcome.

32 points?

Well, Jiang Hao must admit that he is very satisfied with this data!
