From South China Tiger to NBA King

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Jiang Hu's current state is too relaxed. He seems to be enjoying the basketball game. A fierce game was almost turned into an exhibition match by him, with four goals and three dunks."

Yu Jia laughed and said: "This is the attitude of a superstar. He has conquered hundreds of millions of fans around the world with his gorgeousness and playing style."

Part of the Nuggets' style of play is based on Jokic passing the ball to outside players for catching and shooting. Murray relied on the screen to successfully receive Jokic's pass and took advantage of the time difference between the inside players to switch defenses and shoot a three-point jumper.think
Jianghu discovered it quickly and went directly to interfere with the shot. Murray was caught off guard and his hands shook. The basketball missed the target and Leonard grabbed the backcourt rebound.

The Nuggets players hurriedly returned to defense, Jaylen Brown caught the ball and stabilized the rhythm, and passed the ball to Jianghu for a defensive battle.

Jokic ran back and forth, with a layer of dense beads of sweat on his forehead, and he looked a little tired.

But Jianghu knew that this damn fat man only looked tired, but in fact he was not tired at all. He was very physically strong, and even after two overtimes, he could use his big butt to get past the defense.

The Celtics continued to attack.

This time Leonard relied on a screen run to receive the pass. This time Murray came to help defend and formed a double-team with Craig in the middle.

The Nuggets players dare not relax their defense against Jiang Hu and Leonard, so they can only let Horford go.Although Jaylen Brown didn't take many shots in the first two games, he was very accurate. Beasley on the wing did not dare to let him go to help defend.

Leonard passed the ball back to Jianghu. Jianghu caught the ball without stopping and passed the ball to the left corner. Horford did not disappoint today. He was well prepared and made a three-point jumper from the open position.

Celtics 11-7 Nuggets.

Zhang Weiping shouted: "Beautiful. Horford is an experienced veteran who has played for more than ten seasons. Although he has never been known for his three-point shooting ability in his career, it is not a wise decision for the Nuggets to leave him open like this."

Zhang Weiping still doesn’t know that Horford’s three-point shooting ability has made huge progress since the beginning of this season, from a pitcher with poor efficiency and low production to a player with good efficiency and production. This is why he is called "the ball player". Blind Identifier" reason.

Yu Jia said: "I think Jianghu is capable of winning the assists title as a point guard. If he keeps maintaining this reasonable style of play, judging from the level of his current teammates, it does not seem difficult to reach double figures in assists in every game. At present, he Already got three assists.”

Zhang Weiping smiled and said: "He just needs to take care of his teammates and pass the ball more. To put it bluntly, he has to give Leonard something to do. After all, Leonard used to be the core of the team. When you come to the Celtics, you can't just Being a blue-collar defensive player, you don’t take good care of others. Well, they won’t renew their contract in the off-season.”

On the court, Leonard would feel a little empty from time to time, painful and happy. In the past, he sometimes felt that he did not have the support of his teammates and was forced to take on a lot of work that he did not want to do.

Now that Jianghu is too strong, he is not used to being so relaxed on the offensive end.

The Nuggets attacked, and Leonard's defensive sense struck again, successfully blocking Murray's breakthrough route.Murray passed the ball to the center. Jianghu made a fake move without pursuing the defender, blocking the passing line and cutting off the basketball.

The cooperation of the Gemini once again won the ball.

With the audience cheering, Jiang Hu immediately started after stealing the ball, accelerated like crazy, went on a fast break alone, ignored Murray who was chasing him behind him, and relied on his physical advantage to dunk with one hand.

Celtics 13-7 Nuggets.

The Nuggets attack with Murray holding the ball.

Murray relied on a screen to catch the ball at the top of the arc, then feinted and changed direction to break through, but he failed to get past Jianghu, and instead was stuck tightly to Jianghu.

He protected the basketball and spent a lot of effort to hoist the ball to the left low post.

Jokic caught the ball and turned around to hook the ball in the middle, beating Baynes for a close shot.

Celtics 13-9 Nuggets.

Jokic's passing is very powerful, but what is even more powerful is his scoring ability.

His singles moves are basically the same ones, either behind the back hook, holding the ball against twice, then turning around and scoring the ball with the hook, or a fake up-and-down layup, or some upside down shots.

Although his movements don't look agile and his aesthetics aren't strong enough, his hitting rate is not low.

With his height of 216cm and his weight, coupled with his habit of hitting high and hitting lightly before shooting, it is almost difficult for him to be blocked.

To sum up, this is the most powerful "flexible fat man" in the NBA in the modern era.

The Celtics attacked, and Jiang Hu once again held the ball to observe. First, Horford played some offensive routines and cut inside. Without a good chance, Jiang Hu passed the ball to Leonard.

Leonard stabilized and passed to Hayward in the middle. Hayward and Horford played a pick-and-roll in the middle and moved to the right.At this time, Jianghu looked for Jaylen Brown's cover on the left side and slid down the baseline to the right side.

Stevens' tactics are very comprehensive. Not only do star players play in isolation, but there are also many tactics to pass and cut to create gaps and mismatches.

Hayward's breakthrough attracted Jokic's attention, and he quickly passed the ball to Jiang Hu who ran to the right baseline.

As soon as Jianghu received the ball, someone came to help defend, and Craig also chased out to form a double team.Jianghu quickly moved sideways with the ball and jumped into a wide range of lateral passes to the left corner.

This kind of ball is prone to mistakes, but Jianghu knows that if the tactics are up to now, Leonard will most likely be there. He only needs to create space to pass the ball.

Sure enough, Leonard found a big open space in the bottom corner again. He even had time to glance at the basket before taking a shot, and the ball hit the net!

Celtics 16 to 9 Nuggets.

Jianghu personally scored 6 points and 4 assists, and the Nuggets coach had to ask for a timeout.

The head coach of the Nuggets is Michael Malone. He likes to say some exciting content and also likes to play some cool tricks. Among domestic fans, he has a very interesting nickname called: "Zhuge Malone", which describes his calculating skills. ability.

The coach's favorite thing to do is pick an opponent before the playoffs begin.

And while he picks his opponents, he can also go all out to win or lose in one or two games, control the rankings of other teams, and ultimately strive for the greatest benefits for his team.

However, this coach who has no plans now can't think of a way to limit the situation. Before the game, he knew that he couldn't defend him, so he sent the twin-tower lineup to attack and defend others.

The Nuggets' lineup is not as good as the Celtics, and they are the one being crushed.In addition, a big problem is: Craig is the only one on the Nuggets who is suitable for defending the outside world.

What's even more troublesome is that Craig not only has to defend Jianghu, but he also has to defend Leonard when Leonard shows off his power.

Leonard is showing off his power, so don’t Jianghu need to worry about it?

Definitely not. Murray and Beasley will definitely not be able to defend against Jiang Hu. In the end, Craig will have to defend him again.

So in this game, one can imagine the pressure that Craig is under.

No one wants to be the background for their opponents to score super statistics, especially Craig is an ambitious person. Although he is a role player, he still yearns to become an All-Star in his heart.

After the timeout, the Nuggets did not make any substitutions.Malone asked Jokic to guard Horford on the bottom line to cover the basket at any time, and asked Murray to guard Leonard and defend the pick-and-roll.On the offensive end, the Nuggets have added a routine of wing players cutting to attack the Celtics.

The weaknesses of this arrangement are obvious. The Nuggets still have two insiders on the court who are over 210cm tall. Such a lineup is destined to make them unable to defend the pick-and-roll.

But if they don't play like this, the Nuggets can't guarantee offensive efficiency. Millsap is the only big man in the team except Jokic who is good at mid-range shooting. If he doesn't play, the team won't be able to combine inside and outside, and it will be even worse. It is difficult to defend the Celtics' forward group.

The Celtics did not make any substitutions. The tactics arranged by Stevens were to have Leonard actively move when Jianghu got the ball, and use Jianghu's common play style last season to find cover and create mismatch opportunities.

This move is very powerful and is a big weapon for the Celtics.

Because Leonard is also a crazy mismatch machine. He is inferior to Jianghu because Jianghu is too strong, not because he is not strong. His ability is also one of the top players in the league.

The game continued, and both of the Nuggets' inside players pulled out perimeter screens.

Murray received Jokic's pass from the left side and forced a layup under Jaylen Brown's defense.

Celtics 16-11 Nuggets.

Murray's ability is not bad, but due to his frequent injuries and the strong back line in the Western Conference, he has never been selected as an All-Star.

There is no doubt that his personal ability is definitely at the All-Star level, and sometimes he can even be called a superstar in good condition.

After all, not everyone can score more than George and Leonard in the playoff tiebreaker...

Going a step further, Leonard is now with the Celtics.

The Celtics attacked, and Jianghu received the ball outside the right three-point line, attracting Clegg and Murray to defend.He changed direction and took the ball to the middle, using his speed to create space and pass the ball to Horford.

After receiving the ball, Horford did not attack the basket to challenge Jokic. Instead, he made a direct mid-range shot from the right baseline. Jokic ran from the left penalty area line to cover and was a step too late. Horford made a mid-range shot.

Celtics 18-11 Nuggets.

Horford made the right choice. He is not a fool who only relies on his body to play on the court.He can hit mid-range shots, and his shooting percentage is quite high when his hands are hot.

Director Zhang said excitedly: "Jianghu sent out another assist, his fifth assist today. If he keeps playing like this, he may have double figures in assists in a single quarter."

Yu Jia added: "Yes, you must know that he almost reached double figures in assists in a single quarter in the opening game. That time he scored 48 points and 15 assists in a single game. He was clocked in the third quarter. Almost all the goals in the three quarters were related to him."

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Before the start of the season, Mr. Wei would never have imagined that his biggest competitor for the assists title would not be other people at the point guard position, but the world of transformation."

Yu Jia: "Haha, as people often say, the person who kills you may not be your peers, but the layman who seizes the opportunity."

"Westbrook's assist numbers have dropped somewhat this season. If Jiang Hu averages double figures in assists per game, he may become the assist king."

The Nuggets attacked, and Jokic passed the ball to Craig who was cutting on the right.The latter relied on a screen to get rid of Jianghu and forced a breakthrough. As a result, he was double-teamed by Horford and Leonard at the basket.

Craig definitely can't force a shot in this situation, it's an act of looking for a cap.He wanted to pass the ball to Jokic, but the distance was too close and the ball was not passed out. Horford stretched out his hand to steal it.

There was an obvious dislocation on the court. Horford took a step and passed the ball to the frontcourt with both hands. Jianghu completely got rid of Murray with his speed.

Jiang Hu received a pass from the middle of the fast break and entered the penalty area. He calculated the distance and took off with both feet. He turned 360 degrees and dunked the basketball with both hands and scored!
Celtics 20-11 Nuggets.

After landing, Jiang Hu beat his chest and roared, full of dominance!
Director Zhang smiled and said: "Oh, there is another top-five dunk from Jianghu. After only half a quarter, the Celtics already have four wonderful dunks."

Yu Jia said: "The Celtics may very well win the top five goals today, because there are not many games today, and the Nuggets' offense is far less beautiful than the Celtics."

The Nuggets' offense was very simple. Murray first passed to Craig, who reversed the ball to Jokic who cut to the basket.

Jokic has long arms and big hands, and he is particularly stable when catching the ball. He can hit it high and turn around to the basket to easily score a two-handed dunk.

Celtics 20-11 Nuggets.

The Celtics attacked, and as soon as Jianghu started running, Craig felt particularly dizzy.

He couldn't guard Jiang Hu with the ball, Jiang Hu passed the ball out, and he couldn't stop Jiang Hu from catching the ball even though he was moving. The opponent's continuous assists also made him helpless. He didn't even realize what was going on, and the Celtics scored. .

It is more difficult to prevent the opponent from passing the ball than to interfere with the shot.

Jianghu received the ball outside the 70-degree three-point line on the right side, attracting the help of Millsap inside and the pursuit of Craig.

Jianghu calmly dribbled the ball backwards to open up space and made a move one meter outside the three-point line.Craig was immediately in a dilemma. As soon as he ran outside, he felt something was wrong and hurriedly ran back.

When he turned around, he almost hit Murray again.

This scene looked as if Craig had mistakenly recognized the wrong person and wanted to engage in a pick-and-roll with Jiang Hu to block Murray.

Obviously, in this round, the two people's defense changes were not explained clearly, which is why such a funny scene occurred.

Jianghu had no time to care about them, and he quickly dribbled the ball under his hips to test, but Murray did not dare to step forward.

Suddenly, Jiang Hu dribbled the ball under his crotch and took a step back with his left foot to widen the distance. Murray hurriedly stepped forward and prepared to jump to interfere.

But Jiang Hu did not take action. Instead, he stepped back and passed the ball to the left with both hands.Leonard relied on Horford's screen to get out of the three-point line, caught the ball and hit a three-pointer with a jumper.

Celtics 23-11 Nuggets.

Beasley, who was guarding Leonard, was too short and was weak in interfering with shots. If he didn't stay close to him, his defensive efficiency would drop. Leonard was only slightly disturbed and he shot very comfortably.

Director Zhang said: "Little Kawhi Leonard's outside shots are also wide open, Jianghu's sixth assist in this game. He can always pass the ball to the right position now, and his play is so flexible."

Yu Jia said: "Leonard ran out of position for this ball. Jianghu will definitely not let his teammates run in vain. If the teammates stand still, I think he will choose to play singles directly."

This is indeed the case. Jianghu does not have to shoot unless his teammates are completely unable to make a shot. He will play very selflessly most of the time this season and will not abandon rationality for data.

The strongest player must be a player who has a good combination of breakout and shooting.

If the opponent cannot guess his next move, he will not be able to make targeted defense. Jianghu has chosen this path, and the data must be based on winning. (End of chapter)
