From South China Tiger to NBA King

After taking care of the teammates, the next thing that needs to be taken care of is the coach.

As for Stevens, Jianghu is not sure about his hobbies.

But judging from Stevens' usual style, he is a person who pays great attention to details and his own image.

For Celtics players, Stevens' image is almost always the same.

He always wears a crisp suit, a delicate tie, polished leather shoes on his feet, and has his hair neatly done, with a friendly smile on his face.

On the training day, Jiang Hu deliberately arrived at the training hall an hour early.

As he expected, Coach Stevens appeared in the video analysis room fully dressed.

This is his habit. He never underestimates any opponent and does not take every victory for granted. Instead, he believes that only by thoroughly studying his opponent can he be worthy of the final victory.

Seeing Jiang Hu walking in, Stevens had a smile on his face: "Jiang, you're here. Just come over and watch the video of the game against the Lakers. I think there's still room for improvement in your empty-handed running."

Jiang Hu nodded and walked over with the same smile.

On this team, there are two people he admires most, one is Angie and the other is Stevens. Almost every time he sees Angie in the training hall, Angie is on the phone, and every time he sees Stevens When Stevens was watching, the latter was watching the video.

"Yes, Coach. That's what I thought."

After Jiang Hu walked over, he sat down directly and accompanied Stevens to analyze the video carefully.

The two of them watched and discussed the video. The video analysis lasted for about half an hour, and Jiang Hu felt that he had gained a lot.

Stevens is also very comfortable. Jianghu is now the top star in the league, but he still shows great respect for his inexperienced coach. This is a point that he appreciates very much.

"By the way, why are you here so early today?"

A sneer appeared on Jiang Hu's face, and he said, "I have something that I need to reach a consensus with you on."

Stevens was quite cheerful: "No problem, you can say it, as long as it's not too much."

Next, the two reached an agreement on increasing the shooting rights of Jianghu in the next few games.

In fact, this matter is just a process. Jiang Hu can actually do it directly on the court without saying anything, because he himself is a privileged player with unlimited shooting rights.

But he didn't want the relationship with the coach to deteriorate because of this incident. How many points he scored was a small matter, but if the general and the coach were at odds, it would be a big deal.

Jiang Hu thought he would have to spend a lot of time convincing Stevens, but Stevens agreed as soon as he opened his mouth. It was not as difficult as he thought.

Stevens had only one request, and that was: not to let other teammates have negative emotions. Jiang Hu naturally patted his chest and promised, because Jiang Hu had settled this matter before he came.

Before leaving, Jiang Hu left behind two bottles of Porto red wine he had brought over, as well as a membership card for a well-known private suit customization shop in Boston.

Stevens' performance made Jiang Hu feel like he was back in China. He was like those relatives who received red envelopes during the New Year and said vigorously, "No, no need." After arguing with Jiang Hu for a long time, he finally said, "Why do you have to do this? You're too polite. Accept the gift with a look like "Yes."

All the gifts have been given out, and Jianghu is about to start his own crazy road.

On February 2, the Celtics faced off against the Bucks at home.

The Bucks this season are not the same as the Bucks in history. Historically, the Bucks this season had 60 wins and 22 losses, ranking first in the league.

But the prerequisite for them to win first place in the league is that the Bucks find the most suitable configuration for Antetokounmpo, which is to let Brook Lopez protect the frame for him on the defensive end and let Antetokounmpo sweep the defense. The offensive section is Antetokounmpo opens up the space for him while dealing with the gaps left by those double teams.

But the development of things was affected by Jianghu. Because Jianghu defeated the Cavaliers and Warriors, James and Durant chose to join the team. Because James Durant chose to join the team, they kept Lopez.

The butterfly effect caused by the world, if the most happy person is James with Durant as the second boss, the most unhappy person is Curry and Antetokounmpo who lost Durant and Lopez.

The Bucks this season have only achieved a record of 35 wins and 15 losses. Although they look good, Antetokounmpo, who should have won the MVP, currently looks far away from both the MVP and the championship.

Before the game started, Antetokounmpo even took the initiative to come up and say hello to Jiang Hu:

"Hey Jiang, your performance lately is great!!"

Jiang Hu patted Antetokounmpo on the shoulder and smiled: "It's great, isn't it? Let me show you something even better next."

Antetokounmpo didn't understand what it meant yet, but he soon understood...

From the first minute of the game, Jianghu's eyes seemed to be on fire as he frantically attacked the Bucks' basket.

The game only lasted 3 minutes, and Jiang Hu had already made 8 free throws. He was throwing himself into the sky almost every round. On several occasions, Jiang Hu even fell down parallel to the ground.

The entire Bucks only scored 4 points, and Jianghu alone scored 8 points by making 8 of 8 free throws.

The Bucks were stunned. They had never seen a superstar play like this. He didn't care about his body at all. They don't know that Jiang Hu is a real monster for this league. He is not afraid of injury at all and dares to throw himself into the sky. At the same time, as the top star of the league, the referee will definitely not let him get beaten in vain.

In the next round, when Jianghu once again tried to break through to the basket, Middleton actually let Jianghu go, preferring to threaten some shooting rather than allow him to break through to the basket.

Because the Bucks' basket is too fragile.

Without Lopez, they traded Vucevic from the Magic. Although Vucevic's offense is not bad, his defense is simply not enough to stop a powerful striker like Jianghu on the defensive end.

This also led to the Bucks, in addition to Vucevic, Antetokounmpo also received two fouls in the first quarter.

The vacancies on the outside are also coveted by the world, so the more the better.

After missing the first two shots, Jianghu quickly found his shooting rhythm and hit 4 consecutive three-pointers.

After 7 minutes of the first quarter, Jianghu scored 22 points, and then the Bucks, who were trailing 13-24, unexpectedly used a pincer attack on Jianghu.

Jianghu is not Kobe's extreme style of play. He wants to score points and be scientific at the same time.

In the rest of the first quarter, he did not continue to take shots, but used the defense he attracted to help his teammates create opportunities.

But today, my teammates are also very considerate. The balls passed out by Jianghu are basically good opportunities, but the hit rate is very average.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks caught up with the score 34-35.

In the second quarter of the game, both Jiang Hu and Antetokounmpo rested off the court, and the court turned into a duel between the top two players.

出人意料的是，米德尔顿竟然在和伦纳德的较量中压制了对手，他6中6拿到14分，伦纳德反而是6中3拿到7分1助攻。

When Jianghu came on the stage, the Celtics trailed 44-50, and then as expected, the Bucks sent double-teams again.

However, this time the ball distributed by Jianghu was given to the right person. First it was given to Green for a three-pointer, and in the next round it was given to Leonard who was cutting through the air for a dunk.

The score instantly returned to 49-50 Celtics.

Seeing Jiang Hu get two assists in an instant, the Bucks did not dare to continue double-teaming, and instead switched to Antetokounmpo to defend Jiang Hu.

If it were normal, Antetokounmpo would definitely be a good matchup against Jiang Hu, but when Antetokounmpo committed two fouls, it would be a very bad matchup for him to face Jiang Hu.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was originally very strong in defense and even had the opportunity to get the best defensive player, was timid in the face of the world and did not dare to confront him at all.

When Jiang Hu saw that Antetokounmpo was timid, he became more energetic. First, he hit a three-pointer from the outside and missed two back-up mid-range shots. Then Jiang Hu stopped pretending and started to break through to the basket crazily. .

Anyway, I have the referee's body protection, so I'm scared.

Antetokounmpo, who was fouled twice, did not dare to make any big moves, and the consequences were basically wiped out by Jianghu in one step.

Jianghu scored four consecutive goals under the basket, bringing his score to 33 points.

He had a chance to dunk, but he was unwilling to waste his energy.

Physical strength is used for scoring and confrontation. How can it be wasted on meaningless things like dunking?

Before halftime, Jianghu took the initiative to defend again.

The target he chose to defend was Antetokounmpo. He fell back directly after the first ball, hoping to draw an offensive foul.

However, the referee did not give Jiang Hu any face this time. He did not stand firmly on his feet and the referee called him a blocking foul.

Although this goal gave Antetokounmpo two free throws, it made Antetokounmpo even more hesitant when facing him. He just didn't stand firm on his feet, but if he stood firm, wouldn't he have committed an offensive foul?

What this kind of thinking brings about is Antetokounmpo's hesitation after getting the ball on the offensive end. He is considering whether to try to shoot.

When he was hesitating, Jiang Hu was more decisive than ever. He directly went up to Antetokounmpo and gave Antetokounmpo a very tough physical confrontation, successfully grabbing the basketball and scoring a fast break dunk.

In the next round, he directly released a three-pointer from Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo was not polite and raised it up to shoot.

Unfortunately, his shooting has never been reliable, and he still missed this time.

The moment Antetokounmpo took action, Jianghu was about to fall, because he could judge that the basketball's landing point was probably in the three-second zone, and Gasol had already secured his position there.

When Gasol got the basketball, he immediately made a long pass that ran throughout the court. Jianghu received the ball and completed a dunk.

The half is not over yet, Jianghu has already scored 37 points.
