From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 157
"The rivers and lakes kill the warriors."

"This is the first countdown lore in his career, all the fans in front of the TV, we are honored to witness together!!"

The fans at Oracle Arena were almost silent the moment Jianghu scored a goal, followed by frantic boos like thunder.

"Fuck Jiang Hu!!"

I don't know who said this first, and then more and more people started to follow, and finally a lot of people started to curse.

Jiang Hu listened to the boos and scolds with a smile, and there was an expression of happiness and enjoyment on his face.

He loves this to death, and he even thinks pervertedly: the fans of the away team scolding him is the best respect and praise for him.

The words they scolded made Jianghu feel as emotional as hearing "force" in bed.

The shots on the big screen were sent to the sidelines.

Cole opened his mouth wide and covered his forehead.

Durant looked at the bowing Jianghu in a daze, listened to the boos of the audience, and glanced at Green again, hesitated to speak, finally shook his head, and walked to the player tunnel.

杜兰特这场比赛的命中率不高，24投9中拿到了27分5篮板5助攻5失误，对于他来说，这绝对不算好的表现。

You know, Durant this season is also a member of the 180 club. It is no wonder he is satisfied with such a shooting percentage and performance at critical moments.

In addition, the reason why Adu has a million points of loss is that he may have to hit the top five goals several times tonight.

But unfortunately, they are all in the background board.

Adu ≈ George.

Curry was very personable, and even though he lost the game, he just squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and was uncomfortable for three seconds.

His performance was not bad, but it was a bit polarized. In the first half, he made 5 of 5 two-pointers, 7 of 1 three-pointers and scored 13 points. In the second half, he made 11 of 8, 8 of 6 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. Scored 26 points, 24 of 14 in the game, scored 39 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and made 7 three-pointers, and lost the game.

At the end of the game, he was the first to rush up to hug and congratulate Jiang Hu.

Jianghu is the biggest winner tonight. Whether it is personal performance or the brilliance of the goals, they are well-deserved best in the game.

数据方面，江湖全场26投15中，两分18中11，三分8中4，罚球9罚7中拿到全场最高的41分8篮板9助攻的豪华数据。

In terms of performance, he blocked Durant many times, and also made a wonderful buzzer-beater in the face of a double. He is definitely the player with the best impression on the court.

"Congratulations brother, beautiful goal." Curry leaned into Jianghu's ear and said through gritted teeth.

"Thank you." Jiang Hu replied with a half smile.

"Next time in Boston, we'll have our revenge."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Hearing Curry's words, Jiang Hu was too lazy to be modest.

The next one is for me, right?

Then come on, it's better to use all your moves in the regular season, it doesn't matter if you win or lose.

After the game, Jianghu accepted an interview directed by CCTV commentator Zhang Weiping:
"Xiao Jiang, today you defeated the defending champion Golden State Warriors with a three-pointer at the buzzer. How do you feel now?"

Jiang Hu pretended to be casual and said: "I'm not in the mood. We are number one in the East and they are number three in the West. We are strong enough to beat them, so it's normal to win the game."

There is no way to put on a cup when you lose, but you have to pretend to be when you win.

It's not like pretending to be a cup in Jianghu, he is building confidence for his teammates.

He is the future leader of this team, but he must stand up and assume the responsibility of the leader.

He wants to use his own actions to tell his teammates: I don't care about them, you have nothing to be afraid of,

Isn't it the Golden State Warriors?

Isn't it just that there are many superstars?
We can't kill them in the end.

At the tactical level, the Celtics attach great importance to the Warriors.

But at the strategic level and psychological level, Jianghu must take the lead in despising the Warriors, because only in this way can the teammates have more confidence when facing the Warriors in the future.

"The rivers and lakes are awesome!!!"

"Celtics Championship!!"

Most of the fans who watched the live interview in front of the TV said that Jianghu said very well. They appreciated Jianghu's absolute confidence in himself, and believed that he had the brave, confident, and honest temperament of a new generation of Chinese young people.

Zhang Weiping continued to ask with a smile: "Is there any special significance to your celebration? I think it's quite interesting."

There was a smug smile on Jianghu's face, but he still said casually: "There is no special meaning, the warrior is just an ordinary opponent, I just simply salute and send off the warrior."

Zhang Weiping nodded, and then asked: "Is there anything you want to say to your opponent?"

Jianghu rolled his eyes, and then said to Durant's back as he walked towards the player tunnel: "Come on, KD, I love you..."

Durant: Am I pretty! ! ! ! "

After the game, various media reported the results of the game overwhelmingly.

Goodnight Oakland, Goodbye Golden State Warriors

"The most handsome lore in history and the most handsome celebration ceremony in history, Curry holding his head in frustration, Durant in a daze, this man hurt too many people this night"

"Arrogance or Confidence?Behind the lore action, an analysis of the personal characteristics of Jianghu"

"Inventory of those incredible lore goals in sports history"

""KD I love you", Jianghu's affectionate confession, about Jianghu and Durant, three little things you have to know"

After the game against the Warriors, the Celtics' record came to 30 wins and 8 losses. The Raptors, who continue to lead with 28 wins and 9 losses, rank first in the Eastern Conference and second in the league.

The performance of the Houston Rockets, which ranks first in the league, is still strong, and Morey's injury has no effect on the players.

After defeating the Celtics, they defeated the next five opponents in a row, with an overall record of 5 wins and 31 losses. It seems that they may even hit the best record in the history of the Warriors.

Major media including EAPN, TNT, and CBS are reporting on the Rockets' record, and predict that their final record may be more than 70 wins.

Even the Rockets' odds of winning the championship have come to tie for the first in the league +350 (buy 100 and pay 350 with interest), which is the same as the Golden State Warriors.

But Jianghu knows that although this Rockets team is strong, it may even be the strongest period in their history.

But they have a fatal shortcoming, that is, their strength is too dependent on the team's two cores, and any injury to one core will greatly reduce their strength.

Paul is not a player with a very high attendance rate, so for them, there is basically no possibility of challenging the Warriors' record.

The league's second odds of winning is the Cleveland Cavaliers at +750, and the third is the Celtics at +900.

Obviously, compared to Cleveland, which has more experience in the playoffs, the Celtics, which are mostly young, are not the team that is expected to break out of the East.

Even if Jianghu averaged 30 points per game and shot 55% from the field, even if Irving also averaged 25 points per game, they still felt that the Eastern Conference was dominated by LeBron James.

Seeing these reports and the odds offered by major bookmakers, the Celtics players' first reaction was to be very angry and feel disrespected.

Owen is the most obvious person. His personality is relatively distinct. He can say what he thinks, and his outspokenness has always been synonymous with him.

In an interview, when the reporter asked Irving what he thought of the major agencies and media placing the Celtics in the fourth position in the league after the Rockets, Warriors, and Cavaliers, Irving said bluntly:
"Those guys who just sit in the office with the air conditioner on and never walk on the court, those guys who are potbellied and can't even handle the ball, they don't know what kind of team is a championship team. They think there are many stars. They think that young teams cannot win the championship, but I think our strength can win the championship, and every one of our players thinks so."

"Celtics fans, trust us, buy Celtics to win the championship, you will get a lot of money!!"

Irving's speech quickly won the support of his teammates. Others also said in interviews that there is only one goal this season, and that is to win the championship.

Smart: "If someone is not here for the championship, what is the meaning of his existence?"

Jaylen Brown: "We discussed it internally. We have Jiang and Kyrie, and of course me. There is no other plan. All our training, all our preparations are for the championship."

Jianghu was also asked this question, and his answer was also categorical: "The champion, there is no doubt that it is the champion, we are ranked first in the Eastern Conference, and our next goal is to surpass the Rockets to become the first in the league and win the playoffs." Home field advantage for all matchups!!"

The words have already been released, even if it is bragging, it is bragging with the whole team.

After the interview, Jianghu could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the team was more united, and everyone's concentration was higher before each game.

I can't help it, I'm under pressure.

Sometimes people just need some pressure from the outside world.

After the whole team has released their harsh words, if they play a messy performance in the follow-up, there is no doubt that they will be laughed at by others.

On January 1, the Celtics continued to play away games, and they came to Miami on the east coast.

Against the Heat, the Celtics beat the Heat by 118 points 92-26.

Jianghu and Irving each scored 30+, Jianghu scored 35 points, Irving scored 30 points, Jaylen Brown and substitute Rozier also scored 20 and 21 points respectively.

But in this game, the most surprising existence is not the performance of Jianghu and Irving, because they have proved that they have the ability to score more than 30 points, and another 30+ is just an average level, nothing. Well worth bragging about.

The most surprising thing is the combination of Smart and Caruso.

Perhaps because they both love defense very much, the two unexpectedly have a tacit understanding on the defensive end, and the same is true in this game.

The two played together during the substitute time period. In the 30 minutes they played, they scored 4 blocks and 9 steals in total, of which Smart had 2 blocks and 4 steals, and Caruso had 2 blocks and 5 steals.

Smart's performance like this is quite normal. After all, he was already considered to be a defensive expert in the future in the draft report before participating in the draft. This kind of performance is also expected by everyone.

But Caruso's performance is definitely a huge surprise for Celtics fans.

They didn't expect that the player signed with a four-year minimum salary at the beginning of this season would be able to perform well, but it turns out that this guy's contract may be a super-valuable contract.

On January 1, the Celtics came to Chicago.

This is their third game with the Bulls this season, and the Celtics once again won easily.

With a score of 125 to 96, the Celtics beat the Bulls by 29 points.

The feeling of Jianghu broke out in this game.

After seeing the Bulls jersey hanging high at the Bulls' home court, Jianghu felt his blood seemed to be boiling.

In front of Jordan's jersey, with Jordan's fadeaway jumper, Jianghu scored 48 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.

Like, so similar.

The old Chicago Bulls fans at the scene were stunned.

As witnesses of the Bull Dynasty, they are so familiar with Jordan's movements that they can't be more familiar with them. It feels too incredible that Jianghu can make almost the same movements.

Jordan is the symbol of this city. For a long time in the past and the future, when people mention Michael Jordan, they can't help but think of the Bulls and the city of Chicago.

How can it not be surprising that an oriental man actually possesses physical fitness comparable to that of a basketball god?

A white-haired old man wearing glasses was staring at Jiang Hu, and when he saw Jiang Hu making moves that were almost the same as Jordan's, he shed tears in sadness.

He knows, he's a lot like him.

He also knew that he was not him after all.

In the third quarter of the game, Jianghu enjoyed the cheers of MVP in an away game for the first time in his career.

The reason is that in the third quarter of the game, he made 8 consecutive shots, and each ball was a mid-range fadeaway jumper.

The most classic moment appeared at 1 minute and 20 seconds of the third quarter. At that time, Jianghu dribbled the ball to the left three-point line. The man defending him was Portis. Hit a fadeaway jumper from the middle.

This goal made the Bulls fans in the audience couldn't help but exclaim.

Like, so similar.

This ball is exactly the same as Jordan's most famous ball, the one that swayed Russell of the Jazz.

Regardless of the attacking route of Jianghu, the choice of finishing method, or the posture of Portis after being knocked down, they are all too similar to that ball.

It gives people the feeling that Jiang Hu is looking in the mirror with Jordan, but one has black skin and the other has yellow skin.

After this game, many fans also felt that Jianghu and Jordan's offense were very similar.

So that night, a video titled "Flying Man II" came to YouTube and quickly became popular.

Seeing this video, Jiang Hu didn't feel any surprise.

He knew without asking that this video must have been uploaded by Schwartz, and he bought a lot of trolls to promote it.

Because the All-Star voting is in progress, Schwartz is looking forward to it, Jianghu can be selected as the starter.
