From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 155 Classic Moments
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the scenes on both sides are still very anxious.

The Warriors' possession of the ball is relatively concentrated, and the Celtics players can defend in a targeted manner.

After encountering a pick-and-roll, the Celtics' response method is always to switch defenses first, focusing on defending Curry's three-pointer, and then defending Green's air cut.Man-to-man is sufficient in other positions, and the defensive formation is not chaotic at all.

Durant knew that he would be double-teamed when he entered the basket, so he chose a mid-range shot again and missed it under slight interference.

Horford grabbed the rebound and made a pass to launch a counterattack. Irving quickly advanced to the frontcourt to see Curry retreated relatively far back, and then shot a three-pointer on the left again.

Irving's style of play has always been very arbitrary. As long as he feels that he feels good, he may choose to shoot from any position in the half.

He made this shot very resolutely, ignoring Curry's interference and hitting a three-pointer.

The Celtics beat the Warriors 98 to 92.

Zhang Weiping shouted: "Owen scored another three-pointer. The Celtics' shooting percentage is super high. The current defensive strength of the Warriors is a bit unstoppable."

Yu Jia said: "No matter who the Celtics are against, most of them fight to win. Facing the Warriors who are also good at offense, they play very beautifully. You come and go, and you don't lose at all."

Zhang Weiping went on to say: "The Celtics' defense is not bad either. Their goal is the championship, and their defense is also ranked in the top five in the league. The Warriors' Curry has just returned, and the tacit understanding on the defensive end is not good."

Curry turned around and wanted to fight back. After hitting the pick-and-roll, he moved laterally to shoot a three-pointer, and hit the iron under the interference of Jaylen Brown.

Jaylen Brown's defensive rookie season has improved from time to time. Not only can he rebound and block shots, but he is also good at preventing pick-and-roll interference shots.In the team training games, he often assists in the defense of the world, knowing at what distance to interfere with other people's shots, the opponent will feel more uncomfortable.

Smart grabbed the backcourt rebound and wanted to pass a fast break. His pass was too sloppy and he made a mistake and was cut off by Draymond Green.

Durant took advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Irving and rushed to the basket, received a pass from Green, attracted Horford to make up the defense and then scored. Green dunked the basketball with one hand and scored.

The Celtics beat the Warriors 98 to 94.

Green wants to use dunks to improve the morale of the team, but his jumping ability and ability to stay in the air cannot be compared with the physical talents of Jianghu or Durant, so his dunks are not fancy.

And he didn't encounter any defense at all when he dunked, but he shouted: "And One~!", and was met with collective stares from the Celtics players.

The Celtics are attacking, and Irving has shown confidence tonight. He came to the frontcourt to single out Thompson for a mid-range shot, but he didn't make it this time.Jaylen Brown rushed to grab the offensive rebound and pass the ball out of the perimeter.

After Jianghu received the ball, Durant was close to him, stood still and waited for his teammates to respond, and passed it to Irving on the right.At this time, he felt that he still had to spend more time practicing back-up attacks, not for back-up shots, he already had [God's back-up], and practicing back-ups was for better ball protection and observation of teammates' position passes. ball.

If a person does not understand the purpose of being human, his life is destined to be incomplete.

The longer he plays in Jianghu, the more he understands the meaning of his existence. Since fate allows him to cross over, he must become a player who dominates the NBA.He has to keep getting stronger until he becomes a player with no weaknesses.

Irving made three threats with the ball in the frame, and after a feint, he faced Curry and missed a jumper. The rebound was grabbed by Green.

In the Warriors' positional battle, Thompson ran to catch the ball and hit the iron under the interference of the rivers and lakes.

Facing Jianghu, it is difficult for Thompson to get rid of the defense by running without the ball, and it is even more difficult to break through with the ball.

Because his dribbling ability is destined to be unsuitable for holding the ball.

But he is also a strategic scoring point for the Warriors, and his state determines how Curry and Durant will be defended.

So whenever Thompson is not in good shape, it is difficult for the Warriors to play crazy passes, in-and-out, and fluid offenses.

Green failed to grab the offensive rebound, and Horford directly dialed the ball out with one hand.Jaylen Brown picked up the rebound and passed it with both hands to the frontcourt to find Jianghu. Thompson followed Jianghu back and couldn't jump up. Jianghu jumped up and took the basketball while running.

His body leaned forward so much, he took the ball and took two steps forward to step on the free throw line, and threw the ball to the backboard with one hand.This move completely exceeded Thompson's expectations. He thought Jianghu would pass the ball to Irving who followed behind.

Thompson froze in place not knowing how to defend.Jianghu saw the timing and passed by him, caught the rebound ball with both hands, paused slightly in the air, and smashed the ball with his right hand.

The Celtics beat the Warriors 100 to 94.

Zhang Weiping broke out and shouted: "Good guy, this goal must be the best goal of the game. Xiao Jiang made a self-throw and dunk, and performed McGrady's iconic move in the All-Star Game!"

Yu Jia laughed and said: "Klay Thompson didn't jump at all, he never expected Jianghu to make such a wonderful move."

Zhang Weiping shook his head and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, even if he thinks about this shot, he still can't defend it. He is Thompson, not James. Even if James comes over, I think the world has a way to fight against the defense." go in."

CCTV is already full of support for Jianghu, especially Zhang Weiping, whose "Weiping Bryant" hat will soon be removed, and many fans on the Internet have already jokingly called him "Jiang Weiping", because he During the commentary, no matter how good or bad the Jianghu is, they are all facing the Jianghu.

Even if the rivers and lakes fight wildly, in the eyes of Zhang Weiping's director, it is still right and good.

Audience friends said: In the past, Director Zhang explained the game mostly "give the ball to Kobe/Yao Ming", but now it has become "give the ball to Jianghu".

The game continued on the court. Durant seized the opportunity and faced Brown with two consecutive mid-range hits, leading the team to continue to narrow the point difference.

At 9 minutes and 30 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Celtics beat the Warriors 100 to 98.

The Celtics requested a timeout.

After the timeout, Stevens wanted to arrange Jianghu to defend Durant.

A bald man with a white headband raised his hand, and Stevens gave him a look to signal what he had to say.

"Coach, I want to defend KD." Caruso said.

"Jiang should concentrate on the offensive end, and more tasks on the defensive end should be given to us."

"Can you? That's KD!!" Coach Stevens was a little suspicious when he heard that. In the second quarter, Caruso briefly defended Durant, but he didn't see any particularly good results.

"He can, I trust him."

Caruso was about to speak, but Jiang Hu directly spoke for him.

Caruso's defensive ability is obvious to all. His excellent athletic ability and strength allow him to defend the third position without suffering. He often defends the world in training.

He is also one of the few players in the team who can make Jianghu feel restricted. Jianghu absolutely trusts his defensive ability.

In the previous games, Durant was not restricted, probably because he was not familiar with him for the first time.

"Okay, I hope you can complete the task." Stevens thought for a while, and finally patted Karuso on the shoulder, and handed him the task.

"I will, Coach, and while he's a superstar, I'll try to limit him."

Caruso's tone was so firm and unquestionable that people couldn't help but believe that he could perform miracles.

Back to the game, the fourth quarter restarted.

With Durant holding the ball, the Celtics still defended alone. He had never seen the bald man in front of him this time.

"You've lost all your hair, and you still want to play basketball?"

"The Celtics are too much. Any cat or dog dares to send them to defend me."

"I'm Death KD!!"

Durant roared wildly in his heart, and his face was displeased.

He must pay the price for belittling his Celtics.

Caruso saw Durant's face without fear.

In terms of talent, I may not be able to compare with you, but my perseverance and attitude will never allow you to score easily on my head.

Durant charged with the ball, and he wanted to tell the Celtics coaching staff with his strength, you better send someone better to defend me.

After he bumped into Caruso, he quickly stopped and made a jump shot. Although Caruso's reaction was slower, he still tried his best to block it.

After Durant's knee injury, he rarely took off with all his strength. With his height and arm length, few people can interfere with his shooting.

But this time, he underestimated his opponent Caruso.

Although Caruso looks like a white athlete with average physical fitness, he is not.

His athletic ability is good. In training games, he even often staged explosive dunks with his head flat.

Durant shot the ball in the normal way, and he still made an emergency stop to pull up a jumper. This defensive method should not be blocked logically.

But Caruso tried his best to take off, stretched his arms vigorously, and at the last moment, touched the basketball with his fingertips.

As soon as the basketball flew out of Durant's hands, it fell rapidly, as if it had lost all its strength.

"Unbelievable, incredible..."

Yu Jia kept amazed.

"The little-known substitute Alex Caruso actually blocked Kevin Durant in the first round of playing."

"Although it was just a little fingertip touch, it was still an incredible performance for him."

Amidst Yu Jia's passionate commentary and the audience's sighs, Jiang Hu had already got the basketball and began to accelerate crazily.

Sprint, come to the frontcourt, and stage a one-stop dunk.

Back on the defensive end, Durant continued to ask for the ball for singles, and Caruso was still standing in front of him.

He put away his contempt, made continuous feints, and wanted to fly Caruso, but Caruso was unmoved and just raised his hand in front of Durant to interfere with him.

"You stretched your arms too far..."

Seeing Caruso always stretching his hand in front of him, Durant took it to heart.

Put your hands together and round your arms.

The ultimate move of "Golden Swinging Law King": "Swing Arms Giant Swing" is Durant's most commonly used and best move. His super long wingspan determines this move, and he rarely misses it.

But who is Caruso, a player with a basic salary contract, if he wants to stay in the league and become a player with an annual salary of tens of millions, he must work harder than others.

After knowing that the coaching staff attached great importance to this game, he studied the tape day and night. He was studying Curry, Thompson, and even Green and Iguodala.

Durant, how could there be an exception?
So when Durant started, he knew Durant's thinking.

He quickly withdrew his hands, and when Durant swung his arms in front of him, he started to shoot the ball again.

This is not only Caruso's confidence in himself, but also a gamble on luck.

If you are lucky enough, you can take a photo directly.

Fate will always favor some people who work extremely hard, and Caruso's luck today is very good.

He used his hands hard, saw the timing, and smashed hard between Durant's hands.

"Snapped."

He succeeded! !
He successfully patted the ball from Durant's hand. When Durant was halfway through the "giant swing", he not only dodged, but also patted the ball.

The ball hit the ground heavily like a cannonball, and bounced back heavily, even higher than Durant.

Although he was very surprised after losing the ball, Durant relied on his instinct to fight for the half-air ball immediately.

Also taking off with him is Caruso.

Of course, there is another person wearing the green No. 1 jersey, Jianghu, who has long noticed the situation here.

Seeing Durant drop the ball, he directly abandoned Thompson in front of him and accelerated to grab the ball.

"I touched it, it's okay, although it was a bit embarrassing just now... But as long as I get the ball back, won't it be like nothing happened?"

Durant's right hand has already touched the basketball, and when his left hand is about to move closer to control the ball...

Suddenly, a pair of big hands appeared in the air, grabbed the basketball with a sense of strength, and stole the ball from Durant's hands.

"Fuck, this dog thief..."

"Sneak attack..."

Durant was caught off guard, and his hand was tilted by the rivers and lakes, and he lost his balance in the air.

Fortunately, he didn't jump high, otherwise there would be a risk of injury.

Even so, he was still unstable when he landed, he staggered back two steps, and sat down on the ground.

And Jianghu, in the eyes of Durant who didn't fall to the ground at all, started charging directly after getting the ball and landing, came to the frontcourt, took a step from the free throw line and took off directly.

Gliding in the air, he swung the ball high with his right hand and made a battle ax movement.

The left hand, which was bored, had to rest on the back of the head.

"collapse."

The explosive free throw line Tomahawk dunk instantly made the fans in front of the TV roar wildly! ! !

Yu Jia, the CCTV commentator on the sidelines, also fell into madness:
"The top ten balls of the year, this is definitely the top ten balls of the year!!!"

"Durant's foul-making trick was destroyed by Caruso, and the ball was robbed in the air."

"Finally fell to the ground in despair."

"The free throw line of the rivers and lakes pillow gliding tomahawk dunks, wonderful ball grabs, wonderful dunks."

"The occurrence of all these things is like an extremely wonderful movie, incredible!!!"

"Kevin Durant, the perfect backdrop."

"This ball must be a classic moment belonging to Jianghu!!"
