From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 240 Confused Green, embarrassed Durant

"It's an analogy, it's a joke, fans and friends, don't take it seriously!!"

Director Zhang also started joking when he saw the interesting situation on the court.

"Then do you think Jianghu will return to the court after this timeout?"

Yu Jia asked.

"Definitely! Even if Jiang Hu doesn't return to the court, Stevens has to bring Smart back. In short, one of the two players who is more experienced in defending Curry must come back, otherwise the Warriors will take this opportunity to continue to expand their lead. Advantage."

"Without their presence on the court, the Warriors would be unimaginable with their strength."

"Yes, although the Warriors have lost consecutive games in the regular season and their ranking in the Western Conference is not ideal, but in the playoffs the regular season things cannot be counted. In the finals, if the Celtics do not go all out, then There will likely be an unbearable price to pay.”

Yu Jia said seriously, also a little worried.

The Celtics have not been reversed in history.

In the 2010 NBA Finals, the Boston Celtics once led the rival Los Angeles Lakers 3-2, and maintained the lead in the first half of Game 3, but were led by Kobe Bryant in the second half. The Los Angeles Lakers played a great game and tied the score at 3-[-], but were eventually reversed in the tiebreaker.

Game [-] can be said to be the turning point of the entire series.

Nowadays, times have changed, but what remains unchanged is that the commentators at that time were still Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping. Both of them hope that the same thing will not happen again!

After all, there are some Chinese players on the team this time.

Yu Jia nodded and looked at the Celtics bench with a solemn gaze.

As expected.

With a wave of Stevens' hand, Jiang Hu decisively stood up from the bench, took off his outer training clothes, walked to the statistics table, and prepared to appear on the court.

The entire audience at the North Shore Garden Arena burst into enthusiastic cheers.

I can finally see Jianghu coming to torture Curry!
When Jiang Hu was not on the court just now, it was really unpleasant to see Curry shaking his head and how arrogant he was!

"Jiang, beat Stephen up!"

"Take off his dentures!!"

The fans shouted loudly, full of anticipation.

However, the fans' expectations were destined to be disappointed, because Cole saw Jiang Hu preparing to play and directly put Curry on the bench to rest.

Even though Curry played very well in the first 2 minutes of the second quarter, he was still replaced by Cole.

Because Cole didn't want the confidence that Curry had finally built up to be wiped out by the world.
However, this scene was different in the eyes of Warriors fans. Almost all the Warriors fans in front of the TV were yelling: "Kerr is a stupid thief, and he missed the goal of scoring points!!"

Pause back.

The game continues.

The Celtics got the ball and took the lead.

After receiving the basketball from the outside, Jianghu faced Iguodala's defense without any hesitation and directly stopped and shot a three-pointer.

This former Finals Most Valuable Player is considered a defender who changed the situation in 2015. He has no threat in the eyes of the world.

The basketball draws a perfect arc.

"Shh."

Jiang Hu took the shot in the first round and made the shot.

The Celtics beat the Warriors 37 to 42.

Jianghu is so arrogant.

The scene erupted into wild cheers again.

After the three-pointer was hit, the Celtics instantly narrowed the point difference to five points, avoiding the risk of the point difference widening to double digits.

Warriors attack.

Cook, who came on the bench, dribbled the ball past halftime. Seeing that his teammates had no good opportunities, he wanted to break into the penalty area to complete the attack.

He made a fake move like changing direction to the left, then quickly broke through to the right, easily passed Rozier, broke into the penalty area, and prepared for a three-step layup.

The basketball just dropped.

Jiang Hu quickly pounced over and knocked the basketball out of the air from the side.

Cook's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

When he broke through just now, he clearly observed the Celtics' defense. Jiang Hu was just outside the three-point line, so why did he rush to the penalty area in an instant?

What kind of mobility is this?
Incredible!

The basketball was grabbed by Horford, and no one interfered with him at all. He immediately dribbled the ball quickly for the second half.

I have to say that Horford's movement control ability is still very good.

And as a big man with a height of 2.08 meters, his silky dribbling makes him unique and his talent explodes.

After halftime, Horford saw that the Warriors' defense was not in place yet. He immediately raised his head and rushed to the penalty area to complete a layup.

But the Warriors didn't want to give Horford a chance to score.

After Cook rushed over, he directly pulled Horford down. The movement was very large. Horford, who failed to control his body center in the air, flew directly out of the court. After gliding on the ground for a distance, he hit the sidelines. The camera just stopped.

Then Horford held his waist and showed a painful expression.

Cook raised his hand like nothing happened.

And the referee just gave an ordinary foul.

The Celtics players quickly surrounded Horford.

Horford stood up with difficulty, calmed down for a moment, and then nodded to indicate that he was fine.

Although the fall hurt, it was not serious.

None of the Celtics players argued with the referee. Only Stevens made a helpless gesture towards the referee.

All of them know that this is the finals against the Warriors!
Such fouls are commonplace for the Warriors, and they are capable of even worse actions.

Only with this intensity of confrontation can we call it the finals with the Warriors!
So what the Celtics need to do is not to go to the referee to argue, but to fight back and use better performance to fight back against their opponents.

In addition, if the referee does not consider escalating the call, they will do the same against their opponent.

Horford stood on the free throw line and made two free throws very confidently.

The Celtics beat the Warriors 39 to 42.

The Celtics continued to narrow the score gap.

Warriors attack.

Klay Thompson got a shot in the corner but missed.

The Celtics once again fought back defensively.

Still in the same league, he dribbled the ball through half the court, then broke into the penalty area, folded in the air and hit a layup against Rooney's defense, showing off his unique waist!
The scene was also filled with exclamations.

beep.

The referee's whistle sounded at the same time, and Rooney was sentenced to a foul on the thug. Jiang Chen's hit was valid and an extra penalty was added.

The Celtics beat the Warriors 42 to 42.

The Celtics instantly brought the score back to the same starting line.

Cole frowned and walked around.

This guy from Jianghu is so awesome. How should we defend him?
Chasing points right from the start, not even giving you a chance to take the lead?
Cole complained silently in his mind and decided to take another look at the situation.

If the Warriors still have a strong offense this time, they must replace the two main players Curry and Durant.

was thinking.

The Warriors made a mistake on the court. As soon as Cook got the ball, he was intercepted by Jiang Hu. He didn't even have a chance to shoot, let alone score!
Cole: "???"

Jianghu went on a fast break again, with no one in the frontcourt, and made an easy layup.The Celtics took the lead 44 to 42.

"Shet!!"

Cole couldn't help it anymore, gestured to the referee and called a timeout.

After rearranging the tactics, he replaced all the main lineups back on the court.

There are about 5 minutes left before the end of the second quarter. During this time, the Celtics must not be allowed to widen the point difference.

If the score reaches double digits, it will be difficult to play in the second half.

Pause back.

The Celtics also put on their entire starting lineup.

Warriors attack.

Green passed the basketball directly to Curry after halftime. After all, Curry had previously scored 6 points in a row.

Facing Jianghu's defense, the primary school student still had confidence on his face. After a continuous cross step, he suddenly stopped and took a step laterally to shoot a jump shot.

It can be seen that Curry used all his strength for this shot, which seemed very difficult.

In order not to be blocked by Jianghu, he took off very widely.

This makes his shooting speed extremely fast, and his technical movements seem slightly deformed.

bang.

Horford protected the rebound.

Irving dribbled down quickly, and then passed the basketball to Jiang Hu's hands again.

Since Jiang Hu's shooting touch is very hot during this period, it is natural to leave it to him to attack more.

Facing Shubao Du's defense, Jianghu didn't give any face at all. He used a cross step at the top of the arc to connect with a behind-the-back dribble, then changed direction, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, changed the rhythm of his dribbling, and broke through from the right.

Durant was caught off guard, slipped and fell to the ground. However, he did not forget to defend and wanted to reach out to grab Jiang Hu, but Jiang Hu's breakthrough speed was too fast. By the time he reached out, Jiang Hu would have already Already far away from him.

Jianghu entered the penalty area and hit another layup in the face of Green's eye defense.

The Celtics beat the Warriors 46 to 42.

After Green landed, he looked at his right hand in disbelief. He clearly felt that his hand had been inserted into the opponent's eyeball, but Jiang Hu was still safe and scored the ball.

He couldn't figure this out even to death...

"Bitch, remember to use more force when you commit a foul!!"

"Don't act like a fucking pussy!!"

Jiang Hu was not polite to Green. He poked his temple hard with his left hand. At the same time, he put his forehead against Green's forehead and sprayed wildly against Green's face.

Green was stunned. Looking at Jiang Hu's healthy right eye, he looked at his right hand and fell into deep thought.

Looking at this scene, to outsiders, one might think that Green was stunned by the spray...

"That guy Durant fell down, that's ridiculous!!"

"This guy is scared. He won't be able to spray when facing Jiang!!"

“I guess he was trolled in Chinese by Jiang, and he didn’t understand what ‘idiot’ means and ‘birth’ means! ! "

Durant was knocked down, Green was sprayed and stunned...

The fans at the scene had never seen this scene before... Every one of them was talking about it, and the atmosphere on the Celtics bench ushered in the climax.

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Hey! The fans just want to watch this and see everyone's reaction. They are all excited! Jianghu not only affects the situation of the game on the court, but can also affect the atmosphere of the entire arena."

"This time Durant was knocked down and Green's reaction was a huge blow to the Warriors, and their bench condition has dropped."

Yu Jia shook his head and said with a slight sigh.

Durant, who was lying on the ground, stood up expressionlessly, feeling shaken after all.

Fortunately, I have gotten used to it, and I don't feel anything at the moment. My heart is extremely calm, and there are no disturbances.

Just keep putting your energy into the game.

Durant's eyes were sharp and he ran towards the frontcourt.

Cole kept spreading his hands towards the players, but there was nothing he could do.

“It shouldn’t be, this is unscientific!!”

"Is that thing of his made of iron??"

Green was completely depressed and couldn't figure out what was wrong with the "Egg-Kicking Magic" he had practiced for decades, and why it had no effect?
"Hey, Green, give the basketball to Kevin."

Cole shouted.

Article 73 of "Kerr's Guide to Coaching" - When in doubt, please ask the Buddha...

Green nodded, dribbled the ball past half court, and passed it to Durant.

Durant singled out Morris Jr., and after continuous collisions, he turned over and shot a jumper.

"Shh."

hit.

The Warriors finally broke their scoring drought.

But it’s just a drop in the bucket.

After the Celtics broke out in the arena, Irving began to perform, hitting consecutive jump shots and having extremely high offensive efficiency.

The Warriors were losing ground after game.

With Curry having no three-point touch and Green being completely restricted by the Jianghu, the Green Army's offense was like constipation. They could only rely on Durant's jump shot and his shooting feeling in this game was not very good. Thompson.

Halftime is over.

The Celtics beat the Warriors 59 to 48.

The Celtics came from behind to gain an 11-point lead in this quarter, strongly suppressing the Warriors.

于嘉激动的道：“江湖半场19投12中，三分球9投6中，罚球4罚4中，得到34分6篮板3助攻3抢断2封盖的数据，再一次完全统治比赛啊！”

"I believe all the Chinese fans in front of the TV are already excited!"

"After one and a half games of the finals, the North Shore Garden has completely become a stage for Jiang Hu's personal performance. Even if there are Curry and Durant on the court, Jiang Hu is still the most dazzling star on the court!"

Yu Jia looked at the statistics sheet in his hand and said very excitedly, his tone full of pride.

In the superstar battle between the Celtics and Warriors, Jiang Hu is undoubtedly the most dazzling one, performing at a higher level than superstars such as Curry and Durant.

It can be said to be a unique one.

"Not only are the statistics beautiful, Jianghu's control of the entire situation in the first half was also extremely good, and the performance was also quite explosive."

"There were dunks to the basket, long-distance three-pointers, two wonderful blocks, a difficult layup in the face of a flagrant foul, and a wonderful operation that knocked down Durant! I I dare say that Jiang Hu’s personal game highlights in this game will make Chinese fans have endless aftertaste for a long time!”

"Let's just say that in today's NBA, there are only a handful of players who can combine personal performance with on-court dominance and team-leading ability!"

Zhang Weiping said excitedly.

"I believe that all fans watching this game are looking forward to the start of the second half. What do you think the trend of the second half will be like?"

Yu Jia asked excitedly.

"To be honest, the Warriors' performance in the first half was much better than the regular season, and they also played some exciting rounds. But if they want to be on par with the Celtics, Curry and Durant are now Performance is never enough.”

"They must show a true MVP-level performance to compete with Jiang Hu on the scene. If they want to win the game, they must perform better than Jiang Hu and solve the problem of defending Jiang Hu."

"If Jianghu scores 60+ points in two consecutive finals, Cole will not only face the responsibilities of Warriors fans, but may even face the responsibilities of fans from other states in the United States except Boston!!"

"After all, no matter how great Jiang Hu is, he is still Chinese. Due to certain political affiliations, Americans can accept his greatness, but they should not be willing to accept the fact that he is too powerful!!"
