There is no doubt that when the game ended, Jiang Hao immediately became the focus of attention both on and off the court.
Especially in the mixed interview area, Jiang Hao's area was instantly surrounded by media reporters. Everyone flocked in to hear what the super rookie who shined tonight wanted to say at this moment.
"This is a high-intensity game. They (the Warriors) are very strong. When many people are not optimistic about it, I think it is not easy for us to win this game."
The Spurs wiped the sweat from their brows and said in a slightly calm tone, but in fact, everyone present was not a fool, and everyone could hear some dissatisfaction from the former's remarks.
That is Spurs No. 35, which seems to remind everyone that the San Antonio Spurs are not as vulnerable as imagined.
Regarding this, many people at the scene could only smile bitterly, because the Spurs No. 35 had just told everyone through a wonderful game that they indeed have the capital to compete head-on with the defending champion.
"So, after you won the first game of this series, it seemed like you were full of confidence in this series. Can I understand that?"
A black reporter asked.
"We do have confidence in this series, but what I have to correct is that this confidence was already there before this game started."
Frankly speaking, Jiang Hao felt that this black reporter was deliberately digging a hole for him, so his answer was naturally more domineering.

While Jiang Hao was constantly answering questions from reporters on the sidelines, the game report about the Spurs' victory over the Golden State Warriors in the first game of the Western Conference Finals series quickly spread to every corner of the world through self-media.
Across the ocean in China, not surprisingly, Jiang Hao's popularity has further increased.
Whether it is the public opinion hot spots generated by online articles or the good news in the NBA Western Conference Finals, Jiang Hao's popularity has been further expanded.
At 11 o'clock in the morning in China, as the hot search term "Jiang Hao 32 minutes" once again topped the Weibo hot search list, Jiang Hao's Weibo fans were officially announced to have entered the 50 million club.
You must know that Jiang Hao's Weibo has reached 50 million fans in less than a week. What kind of terrifying speed is this?
Well, countless netizens were stunned. Many people thought Jiang Hao could apply for the Guinness World Records.
"Jiang Hao has made history. He is the first player in the history of Chinese basketball to score 32 points in the NBA Western Conference Finals."
"There is no doubt that this is Jiang Hao's battle to become famous."
Of course, compared to some netizens talking about Jiang Hao's sudden increase in followers on Weibo, most netizens focused on Jiang Hao's performance in the first game of the Western Conference Finals.
To be honest, everyone was almost unbelievable about Jiang Hao's outstanding performance in the Western Conference finals.
For many domestic fans, although they have witnessed Jiang Hao's outstanding performance in the playoffs, to be honest, few people think that Jiang Hao will become the protagonist of the Western Conference Finals as always.
After all, the Spurs' opponents in the Western Conference finals are the defending champions, the best team in the league in recent seasons. They have superstars like Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. The Warriors are not the Portland Trail Blazers.
Not the Houston Rockets. For Jiang Hao, it may be difficult to continue to maintain his excellent form against players like Curry.
But the result now is that Jiang Hao not only became the protagonist of the game as always, but also created history one after another. His performance in this game was even dominant.
In everyone's perception, perhaps only the God of Basketball can do all this.
Well, of course Jiang Hao is not the god of basketball yet, but it must be admitted that he is creating his own legendary career in his own way.
………
In the Oracle Arena, the visiting team's locker room, after Jiang Hao changed his clothes, he did not plan to go to a nightclub to relax like Rudy Gay and others, but went directly back to the hotel.
On the one hand, he was indeed a little tired, and on the other hand, he and Popovich had agreed that they planned to study the video of the game just now in the hotel.
Because from the bottom of his heart, Jiang Hao does not feel that his performance tonight, which scored the highest score in the game, is impeccable. He is a down-to-earth person. Since he has shown strong confidence in this series in front of the media,
Then it must be supported by hard power.
Therefore, he hopes to further improve his abilities by studying game videos.
After more than half a season of testing, Jiang Hao found that he could always gain a lot by studying game videos, which was another reason why he did so.
Popovich originally planned to meet up with an old friend of his in Oakland, and they planned to have a few drinks.
But when Jiang Hao took the initiative to find him, he immediately gave up his original plan. Although he was surprised by Jiang Hao's persistence, he also liked Jiang Hao's approach. As far as the current league is concerned, few players can do this.
at this point.
Popovich felt that this was not just a commendable issue, but he felt that Jiang Hao's ambition was too terrifying.
Does this little guy want to break the existing alliance in the shortest possible time?
Popovich's breath is getting worse. He knows very well how much impact it will have on the league if the owner of the O'Brien Trophy this season is the San Antonio Spurs.
For example, the Golden State dynasty that has dominated the league for three or four seasons will disintegrate, and another example is the competition for the throne of "the league's number one".
So, how many surprises will this little guy bring?
Popovich returned to the hotel excitedly after writing the letter. He couldn't wait to study the game video with Jiang Hao.

"Guys, this is perfect"
In San Antonio, Sean completely let himself go in the bar. He even threw a wad of green dollar bills he was carrying directly into the air.
He had no choice but to celebrate wildly, because his harvest tonight was too great. He used 20,000 US dollars to earn 90,000 US dollars in a few hours.
This is simply too enjoyable.
Sean felt that he had completely fallen in love with this way of making money, even though he knew it was not the right idea.
"Guys, to be honest, I'm sober now, and I prefer God to give me another gift than these things."
After the crazy celebration, Sean gradually calmed down, and his companions all around him also looked at him at this time.
"I hope that in a few months, we will get news that Jiang and the Spurs have completed their contract extension."
Chapter completed!
