From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 236 Ambition of Jianghu

The Warriors have never been a team that gives up easily. When they fall behind, their first thought is always that there is still a chance. As long as they persist, they will definitely win.

Only in this way can they make countless comebacks against the wind at their peak in 2016, and finally achieve a record-setting 73 wins and 9 losses. Only then can they face the epic comeback from a 1-3 deficit in that year's Western Conference Finals, and finally win Get Epic Gear Kevin Durant…

Although they did not win the championship that year, one thing you cannot deny is that the Golden State Warriors were indeed formidable.

The game continues, trailing by 4 points with 10 minutes left. You can't see a trace of fear on the faces of the Warriors players. Whether you call it confidence or arrogance, you can never deny that this Warriors team is indeed the best in history. One of the best teams.

Thompson stood up and launched an offense with the ball for the first time in this game. He caught the ball at the three-point line in the bottom corner, took a step forward, and immediately stepped back for a three-pointer.

"Shu~"

Three point hit.

Celtics 111 to Warriors 104, with 3 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game.

Thompson is still maintaining his shooting posture. It is obvious that he is confident in his shooting instinct.

His step-back three-pointers are rarely used, but that doesn't mean he can't. Clay can be called an expert in any area of ​​three-pointers.

Jiang Hu looked calm. He expected that someone from the Warriors would step up in a game like this. It was either Curry or Durant. This was not the first time that Thompson stepped up to turn the tide.

Arriving at the front court, Jiang Hu continued to press for time, looking leisurely and calm.

Don't be in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

The more important the game, the more you need to maintain a normal mind.

With a 3-point lead in 7 minutes, he only needs to maintain the team's shooting percentage and ensure that he does not lose regular ball rights to ensure victory in the game.

Facing Curry's defense, Jianghu chose to attack with his back from outside the three-point line.

Curry's small body was completely unable to withstand the ravages of Jiang Hu. Once he was hit by Jiang Hu, he lost his balance and kept falling backwards.

Fortunately, Curry's balance ability is quite outstanding. After stabilizing his body, he quickly got up again.

Durant saw that Curry was not parrying well, so he quickly came over to help double-team Curry.

Jiang Hu glanced around and saw Durant coming from the right. He glanced at the timer calmly.

5 seconds left.

Continue to play from behind, 4/3.2.1...

Durant's double-team was already in front of him, and Jianghu's position was almost on the three-point line.

"That's it!"

Seeing that time was almost running out, Durant also rushed over. Jianghu turned to the left slowly, pushed his legs back hard, and leaned back to shoot a three-pointer! ! !
"Jianghu faced Stephen Curry and chose continuous post-ups!!"

"Stephen Curry can't stand it anymore, Durant comes over and double-teams him!"

"Double attack from Golden State Warriors No. 35 and No. 30!!!"

"Jianghu, turned around..."

"Lean back and take action!!!"

"Beautiful, this is a behind-the-back fadeaway jumper from the three-point line. Jianghu used his terrifying core strength to take the shot just before Durant blocked it, making Kevin Durant sigh in surprise!!"

"The basketball fell straight into the net. It was a wonderful response!!"

"Boston Celtics 114 to 104 Golden State Warriors!"

"Klay Thompson wants to step up and save the team, Jiang Hu said, whatever you want, as long as you can withstand my attack
"I think in the world of basketball, it would be difficult for someone to be double-teamed by two MVP players and score at the same time."

"Jiang Hu has done it. His big heart has always been like this. Director Zhang and I rarely question this. Perhaps in the near future, we will be able to witness the birth of a new regular season MVP."

"This person is right in front of us!!"

"This man, wearing a green Celtics jersey, is leading the Boston Celtics forward in the post-Big Three era. They may not touch the crown jewel soon, but we believe that in Jianghu, Under the leadership, they will definitely be able to do it!!”

"The game continues, and the proud San Francisco people will not allow Boston to take away a victory easily. Even if this is the North Shore Garden Arena, even if they are first in the league, San Francisco people believe that they have the best players, and they are also the best. team!"

"Kevin Durant got the ball, at the top of the key, and wanted to challenge him!!"

"With continuous crotch shaking, Jiang Hu's steps were very steady without any shaking at all. I don't know who he inherited his defensive philosophy from, but one thing I can see is that his defense has always been very tough and tenacious!!"

"The pass was passed, but Durant didn't choose to hit hard!!!"

"Passed to a teammate!"

"Curry found an opportunity with the help of continuous screens and hit a super long three-pointer from the top of the arc!!!"

"The distance of this shot is three steps outside the three-point line, but this is the normal distance of No. 30!!!"

"The ball went in. The great Stephen Curry once again responded to the wave of attacks from the world!!"

Celtics 114 to 107 Boston, with 2 minutes and 45 seconds left in the game.

"Curry was mumbling something after the goal. We don't know what he was talking about, but we can understand his excitement."

"He may be saying: The future may be yours, but now, it doesn't belong to you yet. The time now belongs to the Warriors, to the strongest shooting team in history, and to the Death Five who pioneered the era of small ball!!!"

"The game continues. There are 2018 minutes and 2 seconds left before the end of the first game of the 40 Finals. The Celtics still have a 7-point lead. They are still the more hopeful side to win."

"Jiang Hu chose to proactively request a timeout. The Celtics need this timeout to calm down. They may also need to adjust some defenses. Why can Curry, who has been restricted for a whole game, easily receive the ball during this time period."

"A mature leader will avoid any negative emotions from affecting the team. He clearly understands the importance of calmness at critical moments~!"

Jianghu actively requested this timeout to slow down everyone. Stevens didn't say anything, he just asked everyone to reduce the frequency of passing and leave the ball to Jianghu, and not to control the ball on their own initiative.

In fact, this issue does not need to be explained at all.

The Celtics have long formed a habit in the long regular season. As long as the score difference is close at the last moment, no matter whether they are ahead or behind, you only need to give the ball to Jianghu or Irving, and you don't need to worry about the rest. , he can take you home.

"The game continued, Jiang Hu continued to hold the ball, and continued to consume time. The Warriors also did not press forward. They were almost arrogant in their ability to chase points. The three of them could throw 10 three-pointers in one game. The Musketeers are their confidence and confidence.”

"In the last 6 seconds of the attack time, Jiang Hu launched an attack, shaking his crotch continuously, and broke through."

"With a lightning-quick first step, he passed Kevin Durant in just one step!!!" "The yellow lightning continues to move forward, and there is still Warriors center Draymond Green in front of him!!"

"Green stood forward, he wanted to cause an offensive foul!"

"The referee blew the whistle, what's the decision??"

"Defensive foul!!!"

"Green spread his hands and complained crazily to the referee, but it was useless. The referee said that there was no problem with his decision and he would not change it!!"

"Jiang Hu is about to go to the free throw line. His personal score has reached 59 points. If he makes two free throws, his personal score will reach 61 points!!!"

"Although 61 points is still far from the career-high 71 points that Jianghu set against the Cavaliers, it was 60+ points he scored against the defending champion in the finals. The gold content is not ordinary!!"

"The game continued. Jiang Hu calmly stood on the free throw line and made two free throws!!"

The Celtics beat the Warriors 116 to 107.

"61 points, the fourth 4 points in the Jianghu season. Before him, the highest score in rookie season was 60 points. After him, this record was raised to 58 points!!"

"No rookie has ever scored 60 points in a single game before him, and not only did he do it, he did it four times!!"

"He fully explains what it means to be a genius, what it means to be a natural basketball player, extraordinary athletic talent, extraordinary skills, extraordinary rhythm control ability, everything about him about basketball is extraordinary!!"

"Jiang Hu, he is God's gift to the Chinese basketball world!!"

Yu Jia's voice was passionate and excited, and he kept praising Jiang Hu's performance.

He also felt honored that this fellow student could make such a big name in the NBA! !
After Jianghu scored the goal, Durant took over the ball for the Warriors.

At the most critical moment, Cole is always willing to believe in Durant.

It is a pity that Durant made too many strong attacks with the ball while fighting with Jianghu, which consumed a lot of energy. Unfortunately, he failed to score in this attack.

Jianghu obviously would not miss such a good opportunity. This time he faced Curry at the top of the arc.

With a score difference of 9 points and 1 minute and 30 seconds left, Curry was obviously a little anxious. Seeing that Jiang Hu was reluctant to take action, Qian Jian stepped forward, trying to steal the ball from Jiang Hu.

What kind of reflexes does Jianghu have to be able to be beaten by Curry, a primary school student?
Not only that, he also caught Curry's loophole, put the ball together with both hands, raised his hand against Curry's outstretched arm and threw a three-pointer.

Regardless of whether it can go in or not, throw it out first. Curry's obvious foul action will most likely be called by the referee.

"Curry stepped forward to press, Jiang Hu took action directly!!!"

"The angle of the three-pointer was a bit high, but the ball went in, the referee blew the whistle, and there was an additional penalty!!"

"This is a 3+1 that kills the game. Jiang Hu scored this penalty goal. The maximum point difference in this game will be 13 points. There is only one minute left. Even the Warriors will find it very difficult to win! !!”

The Celtics beat the Warriors 119 to 107.

In the North Shore Garden Arena, countless pairs of arms were raised at this moment, and earth-shaking cheers resounded throughout the stadium. At this moment, the fans still sitting in their chairs must have felt an earthquake.

Jiang Hu walked all the way to the sidelines and made a gesture of listening to the fans. As a result, his ears were immediately numbed by the roaring and tsunami of cheers. This was the first time he had seen such a huge momentum from Celtics home fans. The scene was almost catching up with Staples' last game in Kobe's career.

Celtic fans are so excited and excited. They have been waiting for this victory for a long, long time...

A row of words also appeared on the big screen at the scene. When the decibel level at the Celtics' home court reached a certain level, the seven-color "Boston" word would appear on the big screen. Once this logo appeared, it proved that the stadium was The atmosphere has reached its peak, and as a bonus, all fans in attendance will be served a delicious taco.

After this goal, even the Warriors players had to admit that they lost. With this point difference, they had no way to get back into the game again.

Under the frustrated eyes of Curry and Durant, Jiang Hu stood at the free throw line and hit the extra free throw. The Celtics were 120 to 107, the point difference came to 13 points, and there was only 1 minute and 05 seconds left in the game. .

Warriors head coach Cole finally requested a timeout, replaced all starters, and admitted defeat.

Seeing this, Stevens also waved his hand and dismissed all Celtic starters.

The goal of winning the game had been achieved, so Jiang Hu naturally did not want to stay on the court anymore and simply walked to the bench.

"MVP!!"

"MVP!!"

"MVP!!"

The cheers of Celtic fans continued uninterrupted. After Jiang Hu walked off the court, the whole arena was still filled with deafening cheers and shouts! !

In this earthquake-like scene, the substitute players of both teams were a little confused.

After the two sides threw a three-pointer at each other, Caruso also learned the lesson. He dribbled the ball to the front court and put it on the ground, indicating that he would no longer attack. The players from the two teams just stood there, waiting for the end of the game. that moment.

"beep."

The whistle sounded and the game was over.

120 to 107, the Celtics finally defeated the powerful Warriors at home and won the first game of the Finals.

江湖拿下37投21中，罚球21罚20中，砍下了65分12篮板5助攻。

The frontline reporter at the scene, Cheryl Miller of TNT TV station, immediately led the cameraman to the arena and handed over the microphone immediately.

Miller smiled and said: "Jiang, congratulations! This is really a perfect game, a perfect night. You used your extraordinary personal performance to lead the team to defeat the Warriors, the strongest team in the league, and get a good start in the finals. And your personal score is higher than both KD and Curry, what do you think about this?"

Jianghu: "The Warriors are an opponent worthy of respect. They can inspire my potential. Only when facing them can I find the long-lost tension. I enjoy fighting Kevin and Stephen. I think they are the best in history." The top two duo, second only to Jordan Pippen and Kobe O'Neal, I'm really excited and excited to beat them!!!"

Jiang Hu has learned to praise his opponents very early in this league. The more you praise your opponents, the more sensational and powerful your victory over them will look. This is an eternal truth.

Reporter: "How does it feel to play against the defending champion in the finals? Are you nervous or excited?? How does it feel to have the lead?? Are you worried about the Warriors' next counterattack?"

Jianghu said: "Of course I am excited. I enjoy every battle with the Warriors. I have hoped to meet them in the playoffs from the beginning of the season, because if we meet them, it means that we have at least entered the championship. Finals, that’s a good thing for us.”

"Now that we have entered the finals, we are very young, we have no pressure, we just have an attitude of going forward!!"

"As for how the Warriors will adjust their tactics, that is their business. What we have to do is fight to the end. We will fight with them however they want, until we win the series!!"

"In this series, we have already been prepared to face any difficulties. No matter what the situation is, we will not retreat. We will keep the championship trophy in Boston."
