From South China Tiger to NBA King

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, when Jiang Hu came off the court, the Celtics still led by 15 points.

Then things started to change on the court. First, Irving scored two points against Danny Green's mid-range jumper. Then Leonard made a mistake when passing the ball to Horford, and the Spurs counterattacked.

During the counterattack, Bertans faced Leonard's defense and directly made a jump shot. Not only did he make the shot, he also caused Leonard to foul.

This guy is a complete mental knife. When he feels good, he can attack anyone.

Bertans made a free throw and the point difference instantly returned to 11 points.

The Celtics attacked, and SGA dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Leonard. As soon as Leonard got the ball, he was double-teamed by the Spurs and almost dropped the ball.

Passed back to SGA, SGA passed the opponent with one breakthrough and reached the inside.

Gasol is very smart. Although his physical fitness has declined significantly, he has rich defensive experience and stretches his hands straight. SGA has no way to take action and can only pass the ball from Gasol's armpit to the right bottom horn.

Morris caught the basketball, shot it confidently, then hit the side of the backboard and bounced directly out of the court.

The scene was a bit funny for a moment, and the fans laughed. Morris's shooting results were completely inconsistent with his confidence level.

The Spurs continued to attack. Irving quickly advanced to the frontcourt, stopped to pretend to direct the movement, and then quickly broke through, attracting a lot of defensive attention. Then he broke through, stopped and swung towards the opposite corner.

The ball was moved in a wide range, and the person who received the ball was Bertans. There was still a defender in front of him, but he didn't seem to care and took a direct shot in front of Morris.

His three-point shot jumped very high, it was really a jump shot. The arc of the basketball was also quite graceful, and he plunged into the basket again.

Celtics 90-82 Spurs.

Bertans scored 7 consecutive points to help the Spurs narrow the point difference to 8 points.

SGA dribbled to the frontcourt and continued the attack.

He was holding the ball at the top of the arc, and Baynes came over to set a screen. After bypassing the screen, SGA transformed into a handsome mid-range guy and took the shot confidently.

It's a pity that I didn't get in.

Irving got the rebound again and began to slow down the pace and slowly advance.

He passed the ball to Belinelli who came out from the left pocket. Belinelli had no room to shoot after receiving the ball, and passed it to Pau Gasol in the low post.

Gasol played a low post, and Bertans moved without the ball just to the top of the key. Gasol easily passed the ball to Bertans' hands.

Bertans, who was feeling hot, almost didn't need to aim when catching the ball, and he shot again at an extremely fast speed.

"Brush~"

The basketball is like a heavy cannon, hitting the basket.

Celtics 90-85 Spurs.

In the blink of an eye, the score difference returned to 5 points. Sitting on the bench, Jiang Hu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed in a low voice: "The nerve knife is so scary~!"

There is still 1 and a half minutes left in the third quarter.Stevens still called a timeout.

In order not to bear the reputation of "you can't coach without Jianghu", Stevens did not switch to Jianghu after the timeout. Instead, he expressed the importance to Bertans and asked him to try not to give him outside shooting opportunities.

The game continued, and neither the Celtics nor the Spurs scored in the next two rounds.

The time came to the last 50 seconds of the third quarter, and the Spurs had the ball.

Irving dribbled to the frontcourt, dribbled high, changed direction one after another, ejected directly, came to the three-point line, stepped on the brakes, and made an emergency jump shot.

The force of the shot was also just right, and the basketball hit the net hollowly.

Celtics 90-88 Spurs.

The Celtics attacked again, and SGA dribbled the ball quickly to break through, stepped on the hot wheels to the basket, and made an emergency stop to give the ball to Leonard.

Leonard took the ball, was fouled by Gasol, and sent to the free throw line, making one of two free throws.

Celtics 91-88 Spurs.

With 22 seconds left in the third quarter, the Spurs' last attack still had Irving controlling the ball.

It took until the last 10 seconds to launch the attack.

Irving broke through at the top of the arc. This time Green followed very closely. He could only continue to lead outside and look for opportunities again.

He dribbled the ball to the right corner. At this time, Green was still worried that he would continue to turn around and break through, but he suddenly turned around and shot a three-pointer.

The ball came so fast and suddenly that Green didn't react at all. By the time he reacted and pounced, Irving had already completed the shot.

And because Green made too big a defensive move after Irving took the shot and violated Irving's cylinder, he was called for a foul again by the referee.

The basketball entered the basket, followed by wild cheers from the home crowd.

Irving stood on the free throw line, and the fans in the stadium excitedly shouted: "MVP!!"

Owen looked expressionless, but Jiang Hu could tell that he was enjoying all of this.

Don't ask how Jianghu knows.

You can see it from Irving's little finger when he shoots free throws.

Who in the right mind would tremble during a free throw?

"Brush~" the free throw was made.

Celtics 91-92 Spurs.

The Spurs took the lead for the first time in the game.

In the last two seconds, the inbounds ball was given to Leonard. Leonard threw a long three-pointer but missed.

In the last 3 minutes of the third quarter, also 3 minutes after Jiang Hu came off the court, Irving led the team on a 17-1 offensive climax, going from 15 points behind to a one-point lead in an instant to end the third quarter.

The audience at the scene was extremely excited and continued to do crazy output at Leonard who was resting on the bench.

"Rubbish!!"

"You don't know how to lead a team at all!!"

"Your championship was given to you by Duncan and Bobo. Without them you are nothing!!"

"Leaving the Spurs is the biggest mistake of your life!!"

The audience's trash talk was quite frequent and very unpleasant.

Jiang Hu felt a little angry after hearing this.

The game is not over yet?Just popping champagne here at halftime? ?Are you afraid that you don’t know that a game lasts 48 minutes? ?And although Leonard's performance today was not particularly good, it was not bad, right?Even if he really leaves the Spurs, these people shouldn't confiscate his previous honors, right?

Jiang Hu didn't like their trash talk, and thought it was a bit excessive, but he could understand it. After all, as a fan, you don't want to be betrayed by your team's superstar.

The break passed quickly, and the fourth quarter began quickly.

Leonard rested, while Jianghu continued to play as soon as the game started. He had rested enough.

For the Spurs, Irving and Aldridge did not rest and continued to play.

The last quarter of the game started with the Celtics playing first.

Jaylen Brown and Jiang Hu were on the court at the same time. Brown advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed it to Gasol at the three-point line at the top of the arc. Jiang Hu went around a screen, came to the mid-range, and took the ball directly.

"Brush~" Hollow hits.

Celtics 93-92 Spurs.

As soon as Jiang Hu scored a goal, Zhang Weiping immediately shouted excitedly:

"Jianghu, it's been there since the beginning, this goal is very crucial!!"

Yu Jia said: "Jianghu's attack method is very simple, but it works. This is called heavy sword without edge, great skill but no work!!"

The Spurs pushed forward and Irving dribbled to the frontcourt.

To Mills at the top of the arc, Mills called a screen from Aldridge at the top of the arc. After the screen, he got rid of Jaylen Brown's defensive one-handed throw.

The shot had a nice arc but missed.

Morris got the rebound and passed it to Jianghu after halftime. Jianghu continued to change directions and fake moves. Gay was unmoved. Jianghu accelerated from the left and passed the ball to Jaylen Brown.

Jaylen Brown returned to Jianghu, Jianghu made a move and returned to Jaylen Brown again, and Jaylen Brown made a throw against the defense.

The angle of this shot looked okay, but it failed to hit.

Jianghu was about to rush over to grab the rebound when the referee's whistle sounded. It turned out to be Pau Gasol's foul on Marc Gasol's rebound.

The two brothers were fighting for each other under the basket. It was very fierce. Gasol accidentally slapped Gasol on the face. Fortunately, the referee knew the relationship between the two and the person Gasol was. There was no Gasol was whistled for a flagrant foul.

The Celtics regained the ball and the game time came to 11 minutes and 09 seconds of the fourth quarter.

Marc Gasol came to the sidelines to serve and gave it to Jianghu
, Jianghu vs. Rudy Gay.

A fake move directly accelerated, and the ball was passed to Danny Green in the bottom corner. Green held the ball in the bottom corner and shot.

Unfortunately, I still missed it! ! !

But this time Gasol was so powerful that he slapped the long backboard out!
Jaylen Brown got the basketball and gave it to Morris at the top of the arc. Morris passed it to Jianghu hand-to-hand.
Jianghu dribbled a step forward, and once again moved Danny Green on the left side in a wide range. Green was a little unsure about the three-pointer, so he took a step forward, and after the confrontation, he rode on horseback and shot an arrow, causing Irving to foul!
Green gets to the free throw line!
First penalty!Missed!
He adjusted his rhythm for the second free throw and scored!
Celtics 94-92 Spurs.

Irving controlled the ball on the left side of the court and passed it to Guy. Guy had little chance against Jianghu and passed the ball across to Bertans at the top of the arc on the right.

Bertans is still one meter away from the three-point line, but his eyes almost only focus on the basket. When he gets the ball, he doesn't care about anything, just takes a step laterally and directly raises his hand to make a three-pointer!
"Brush~"

A hundred steps pierce the Yang, and the hit is successful.

Celtics 94-95 Spurs.

This was Bertans' fourth consecutive three-pointer starting in the last 3 minutes of the third quarter.

Yu Jia said with some emotion: "Compared with All-Stars such as Jiang Hu, Leonard, and Irving, Bertans is undoubtedly an insignificant figure. Some people who are familiar with the NBA may know him, but he is definitely not as good as Jiang Hu and Irving. visibility.”

"But sometimes, little people can influence the game as long as they get a chance. In the NBA, little people must focus on every appearance and seize every opportunity."

Jianghu didn't have time to care about that much. He immediately urged Gasol to serve. He didn't know what happened to the others and didn't want to know. He only knew that the Celtics were overtaken, which he couldn't bear.

Jianghu holds the ball at the top of the arc and rushes to the right relying on Guy's defense!
Running wildly, riding a horse and shooting arrows, but unfortunately Jianghu's touch was mediocre and the shot failed to hit. Gasol successfully got the defensive rebound with one hand outstretched!
Gasol passed to Irving, and Irving quickly counterattacked the ball to Bertans. Bertans wanted to continue taking shots. Fortunately, Jaylen Brown had caught up with him this time.

He could only give it to Gasol, and Gasol handed it to Irving who came to catch the ball.

Irving bypassed Gasol's screen, slammed on the brakes, and made a sudden jump shot.

Fortunately, his touch was average and he missed the shot. Jiang Hu knocked Gay away and got the defensive rebound.

Jiang Hu advanced on his own, and as soon as he reached the frontcourt, Guy and Irving immediately came up to double-team, and passed the ball across the right side to Green.

Green was hesitant and had lost his shooting rhythm, so he could only pass the ball back to Jianghu. Irving went to defend Green, and Bertans and Gay came up to double-team Jianghu.

Jianghu can only pass it on to Jaylen Brown.

Jaylen Brown broke through and passed the ball to Green. Green still didn't shoot, and continued to break through and pass to Morris.

Morris accelerated from the bottom line to break through, and used a small throw with his orchid fingers raised.

His posture was very seductive, but he missed.

Fortunately, Jaylen Brown once again grabbed an offensive rebound and immediately pulled it out to Jianghu.

Jiang Hu shoots straight into the sky from the center, goes directly to the basket in two steps, jumps on the spot, and dunks directly across Gasol! !
Gasol seemed to have known his fate. He turned his head to the side, showing that shy look...

But unexpectedly, Jiang Hu used too much force on the ball and it was dunked instead!!
Aldridge got the defensive rebound and counterattacked to Irving. Irving quickly took the ball and drove straight to the basket from the right for a layup! !

Jianghu, who had just missed the top ten goals of the season, was furious at this moment. He roared "CNMD" and accelerated directly to the basket and took off to block the shot! !

block shot!
Irving, who had never been blocked by James after leaving the Cavaliers, was blocked by Jiang Hu in his first game after leaving the Celtics.

Gasol got the defensive rebound, and Jianghu immediately sprinted down.

Gasol gave the ball to Jaylen Brown, and Jaylen Brown took a few steps forward. When he reached midfield, he immediately sent a long pass to the frontcourt.

Jiang Hu cut in from the right, leaped high, caught the ball under the basket, faced Gay's defense, and dunked hard!

Celtics 96-95 Spurs.

Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping shouted together: "Beautiful, Jianghu!!"

Yu Jia continued to say excitedly: "I just missed one of my top ten goals of the season. Jianghu recovered the situation almost immediately. Not only did he block Irving, but he also dunked Gay. This goal, It’s heart-wrenching!!”

"Combined with the missed shot on the previous goal, it shows Jianghu's personality and physical fitness even more. It doesn't matter if you fail, I will give you a goal that is equally exciting or even better!!"

"It can also be seen from this that although a small person can affect the game, it is the big people who can really dominate the game. It is obvious that Jianghu is now a big person~!!"

With 9 minutes left in the game, the Spurs immediately requested a timeout!
The camera shows Popovich near the technical stage, and you can see that his face is not very good-looking. If it were before, he might have played five-up-five, or smashed the tactical board angrily.
