86 [Kawaii Return]
Stephen Curry's successful dunk completely opened up the feud in this game.
Bayonet had obviously been really fired up by Stephen Curry's questioning just now. Therefore, at this moment, after seeing Stephen Curry complete the dunk, in addition to a rebellious expression, he held the
His movements were not soft at all.
At the top of the arc, after taking two steps forward against Stephen Curry, he suddenly took a step back and shot a three-pointer.
Whoosh!
At this moment, everyone saw the bayonet who hit the shot make a very arrogant gesture. He actually faced Stephen Curry and made the "you can't do it" gesture.
Is this a complete setback?
This scene caught many people by surprise, especially when they didn't expect Bayonet, who looked relatively thin, to be so tough on the court.
The San Antonio Spurs have always given people the impression of being peaceful and low-key, but this does not seem to affect Bayonet at all. In other words, he is originally such a fire-like character in his bones? It's just that he has never had the opportunity to show people his toughness before this.
.
"I have no objection to San Antonio having a leader with a strong personality. Kawhi is certainly a qualified leader, but he seems to be missing something after all."
"What is a bayonet? This is why China River is so lovable."
No matter how ugly the faces of the Warriors players are at this moment, the Spurs fans are standing by Jiang Hao's side without reservation.
Therefore, the ATAT Center, which had calmed down slightly due to Andre Iguodala's lonely end, became noisy again.
From the perspective of Spurs fans, they may not be able to help the team hit shots, but they can at least be a strong backing for the players.
………
When players from both sides played with real fire and basically fought for "honor", the level of understanding of the game undoubtedly directly increased its intensity.
In such a game, the score is often difficult to draw.
At the end of the first quarter, at 28:29, the away Warriors only held a slight lead of 1 point.
Due to a very disharmonious scene in the first quarter of the game, Stephen Curry and Jiang Hao, as the protagonists, became the best players of both teams in the first quarter.
Jiang Hao scored 10 points and provided 4 assists in the first quarter, while Curry made 3 of 4 three-pointers and scored a total of 11 points.
Judging from the data board, these two guys are really at loggerheads.
Many neutral fans couldn't help but laugh. It turns out that Stephen Curry's key to three-pointers needs a bayonet to unlock it. Look at Curry after fighting against the bayonet. He can actually make three out of four three-pointers. If
Curry could have such a shooting percentage in the Oracle Arena before, so the Warriors would not be trailing 0:2 now. From this perspective, maybe Stephen Curry has to thank Jiang Hao.
Across the ocean in China, the game between the Warriors and the Spurs attracted the attention of almost all NBA fans in the country.
Frankly speaking, the Golden State Warriors have accumulated a lot of fans in China in the past few years. In addition to the unshakable "Rockets Complex" that occupies a part of the fan base, the Warriors probably have the most fans.
After all, the Purple and Gold Army without Kobe Bryant is no longer the favorite of domestic fans.
Before the series between the Spurs and the Warriors started, many Warriors fans were very conflicted because they wanted to see the Warriors advance to the finals and successfully defend their title, but they also didn't want to see Jiang Hao be eliminated sadly.
Therefore, their emotions when watching the game are extremely complicated.
Even before the start of this game, many fans finally reluctantly chose to side with Jiang Hao, but some fans still continued to have complicated psychology.
However, when the game progressed to this point, when such a disharmonious scene appeared in the first quarter, in an instant, the domestic Warriors fans disappeared as a whole, while the groups of Spurs fans and Jiang Hao fans grew rapidly.
You can say that this situation is caused by the special environment of China’s “multi-national trolls”, or you can also think that this is the “Chinese thinking”.
But the summary is that now the San Antonio Spurs are the home team, while the Golden State Warriors have become a street rat in China.
Whether online or in real life, schools, companies, and fans expressed their indignation that they were staunch supporters of Jiang Hao.
Even those loyal fans who usually regard Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and others as their idols on the court dare not say anything at this time for fear of causing public outrage.
From an objective point of view, this kind of domestic fan norm is certainly not healthy, but at least for now, no one can change this.
You can hear this from the comments of Tencent sports commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng at this moment.
"Obviously, Stephen Curry was upset about Andre Iguodala, but in fact, he shouldn't have directed it at Jiang Hao. All of us watched the replay footage. Jiang Hao's original intention was definitely for a dunk.
Go"
"Indeed, but we can only shake our heads helplessly. Stephen Curry looks white, but he is actually black. In the NBA, we yellow people are still being treated unfairly."
From the comments made by Yang Yi and Wang Meng during the break, it can be seen that although they should be on a neutral stance, they are also on Jiang Hao's side at this time.
And when they do this, on the one hand, it may be their true thoughts in their hearts, but on the other hand, isn’t it forced by the formality?
Just imagine, if they didn't say that, could the fans get around them?
At the Atat Center, the second quarter of the game has begun, and Jiang Hao finally sat on the bench. His expression looked very calm, but in fact, there was no fluctuation in his heart at this moment, and he had basically calmed down.
Of course, how could he know that all the domestic fans in China on the other side of the ocean are on his side at this moment.
………
For Spurs fans, they have witnessed miracles again and again from Jiang Hao in this playoffs, but from the bottom of their hearts, they have actually been longing to see the man who was alone in the Western Conference Finals last season.
Kawhi Leonard against the crowd.
Because Leonard is the leader of the team, they deeply understand that if Leonard is always dominated by Jiang Hao, the Spurs' playoff journey will still look a bit unstable after all.
Even though Jiang Hao is now acting like a guy wearing God's jersey playing basketball, even though he seems omnipotent and can do everything.
But don't forget that Jiang Hao is only a first-year rookie after all. After all, he is not a veteran with a lot of competition experience in the NBA. In other words, Jiang Hao needs Leonard's artillery support.
To be honest, since Kawhi Leonard came back, except for his outstanding performance in the last game, in all other games, including the first quarter of this game, his performance cannot be said to be unsightly, but at least
Not as good as Jiang Hao.
Therefore, in this case, when Jiang Hao was resting off the court in the second quarter, the Spurs fans in the stands hoped that Leonard would explode.
Because the fans are also very aware of the difficulty of this game. With both teams getting really fired up, Jiang Hao has to rely on Jiang Hao alone to fight against the Golden State Four for the next three-quarters of the time.
An All-Star?
I'm afraid this is not very realistic, right?
"Kawhi seems to be still trying to get over it. For professional players, that's why they see injuries as their natural enemies. I can feel him trying to get over that hurdle, but I have to admit, I can't wait.
, I hope he can do it soon"
"So, this is why you planned to let him lead the team alone in the second quarter?"
On the Spurs bench, Popovich and Messina said to Leonard's figure on the court.
"That's true. We have to be proud to have a tough player like Jiang, but we must also face this game. When Stephen Curry makes three of four three-pointers, and when Draymond Green starts taking shots, we must
Admittedly, the familiar Warriors team is back, which also tells us that we may not be able to win this game just relying on Jiang alone," Popovich continued.
"But aren't you afraid that it will backfire? As far as I know, the negotiations between Kawhi's team and RC did not go smoothly." Messina expressed his worries.
"That's not to say, Kawhi was trained by me. You don't have to doubt his professionalism. He is also the kind of guy with a strong desire to win. He is just not good at expressing himself. Before the season is over, as long as
If he is willing to play, he will give his best.”
"I hope Kawhi can do what you want, his outbreak is indeed crucial."
………
On the court, Leonard faced Kevin Durant on the offensive end. Facing Durant with long arms, Leonard did not feel that he could easily break through the former's defense.
Because Durant gave him strong defensive pressure, especially at this time, Shaun Livingston also came from the side to help defend.
Seeing the attack time passing by second by second, Leonard knew that he had to complete the attack immediately.
Therefore, when being extremely defended by the opponent, he almost chose a fadeaway jumper based on his feeling.
At the moment of taking action, Leonard's world went silent. He thought of the painful moment last season and the scene of a person constantly doing rehabilitation training in the gym.
So, hit it, "Father far away in heaven, you will bless me, right?"
Leonard suddenly opened his eyes, and the once very familiar feeling seemed to really come back.
Whoosh!
After a crisp sound, the entire arena cheered because people saw that Kawhi Leonard still hit the shot despite the extreme defense of two Warriors players, a very difficult fadeaway jumper.
Chapter completed!
