For Jiang Hao, although the atmosphere at Quicken Loans Center is very strong at the moment, his heart has not fluctuated, because so far in this playoffs, whether it is at the home court of the Rockets, the Trail Blazers or the Warriors, he has
Everyone has seen this kind of scene.
Today is different from the past. He is no longer the rookie who just played in the playoffs. He has grown into a powerful weapon that blocks gods and demons.
The cameras on the scene kept showing Jiang Hao at this time. Obviously, because of his outstanding performance in the previous playoffs, Jiang Hao has become one of the key players recognized by people in this finals. In this case, give
His lens is a matter of course.
"Is this the Chinese player you're interested in? He does look handsome."
Courtside seats, the famous Khloe Kardashian and her equally famous sister Kendall Jenner appeared together.
Not surprisingly, these two came for Tristan Thompson, and now Khloe Kardashian is having a fierce fight with Tristan Thompson.
At this time, Khloe Kardashian pointed at Jiang Hao on the court and asked Kendall Jenner next to her.
In fact, it is no secret that Kendall Jenner admires Jiang Hao. As early as the regular season, Kendall Jenner publicly expressed her love to Jiang Hao, but she never received a response from Jiang Hao.
"Yes, he is very special, a very interesting man, but unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be interested in me, and he already has a girlfriend."
Kendall Jenner nodded indifferently. For a person like her who never lacks pursuits, it is impossible for her to have the thought of marrying someone else. In other words, she can only like Jiang Hao at any time.
Just a hobby.
………
Soon, the players from both sides were in position, and with the referee's whistle, the much-anticipated finals officially began.
LaMarcus Aldridge helped the Spurs get the first wave of offensive possessions during the jump ball, which surprised the home fans. Tristan Thompson should logically jump higher than Aldridge, but why?
Didn't you get an advantage?
"Man, with Khloe Kardashian here, do you still expect Tristan Thompson to be active? In my opinion, as long as Tristan Thompson doesn't have weak legs in this series, it will be considered a blessing from God."
The home fans in the stands were relieved quickly. So far this season, they have basically become accustomed to Tristan Thompson in this state.
Strictly speaking, in their eyes, Tristan Thompson is already relatively "strong". Thinking about Lamar Odom and James Harden before, their ability to withstand pressure is far worse than Tristan Thompson.
Already.
Jiang Hao took advantage of the situation and advanced with the ball, and the one who stepped forward to defend him was the Cavaliers' starting point guard for this game, a player that Spurs fans are very familiar with, George Hill.
Frankly speaking, the Cleveland Cavaliers have gone through many personnel changes at the starting point guard position this season.
First it was Derrick Rose, then Thomas, and now George Hill. For a team aiming to compete for the championship, this is not a good sign.
George Hill was Popovich's favorite player. Popovich planned to train him as Tony Parker's successor. The Spurs management used him to trade with the Pacers for Leonard.
At the time, Popovich even complained a little.
Although from the current point of view, the Spurs made a profit from this deal, it cannot conceal the excellence of George Hill.
In the eyes of many people, George Hill is one of the few non-traditional point guards in the league who is both offensive and defensive. In other words, he can help the team on both the offensive and defensive ends.
Therefore, when Jiang Hao faced him with the ball, Jiang Hao did not become careless at all. This was something Popovich reminded him before the game started.
I have to admit that George Hill's defense is very good. After Jiang Hao held the ball and observed it for a few seconds, he had no chance to attack personally.
Fortunately, Jiang Hao was decisive enough and handed the ball directly to Leonard. After Leonard completely returned to form, his tactical status was obviously at least on the same level as Jiang Hao. Sometimes he was even the first choice.
Of course Jiang Hao understands this.
Leonard is a very stable player. After further improvement on the offensive end in the past two years, he is always able to score in various difficult ways.
Just like now.
When facing LeBron James' defense, he chose a very tricky angle to throw his head and just sent the basketball into the basket.
After LeBron James saw Leonard hit the shot, he could only shake his head helplessly. After so many years in the league, he has deeply understood one thing, that is, there is no absolute suppression between superstars, only each other.
burst.
He can't stop Leonard, and conversely, Leonard can't stop him either.
Sure enough, the Cavaliers' next attack clearly confirmed this point.
As a "puppet-type" starting point guard, George Hill is very conscious. After bringing the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately handed it over to LeBron James.
The latter, after holding the ball, directly faced Leonard and relied on his strong physical fitness to directly pass Leonard and complete a layup under the basket.
People are not surprised by this, this is the domineering little emperor, and few defensive players can prevent his tank-like breakthrough.
What made some commentators at the scene a little strange was, was LeBron James on fire from the start of the game?
"This is not surprising. In fact, LeBron played very smart, because against a team like the Spurs, if they don't use their strength to gain an advantage in the early stage, it will be difficult to win in the later stage. Their ability to control the overall situation at the end of the game is too great.
"Stronger" Shaquille O'Neal saw clearly.
In the Spurs' second attack, Jiang Hao used Danny Green's running screen to quickly drive to the basket with the ball. He has always liked such breakthroughs.
Although the Cavaliers have Tristan Thompson as a defensive anchor inside, Jiang Hao is not afraid at all.
When Jiang Hao came to the basket with the ball, Tristan Thompson on the other side rushed towards him.
But just like he showed some weakness in the jump ball session just now, his return to defense was also a step slower this time.
Jiang Hao completed the layup one step ahead of him.
hit.
Jiang Hao responded neatly to LeBron James' breakthrough layup just now.
Chapter completed!
