Kobe's averages were 26.4 points, 7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.5 steals and 0.5 blocks.

However, his field goal percentage was only 38.7%, his three-pointer percentage was only 32.8%, and his average turnovers were as high as 3.9 times per game.

Tony Allen's defense was once again excellent, successfully limiting Kobe's scoring efficiency.

Kobe is one of the best scorers in history, and he can do everything on the court. However, facing Tony Allen's defense, Kobe's scoring efficiency dropped significantly.

Whether it was shooting or three-pointers, Kobe had difficulty finding the perfect time to shoot under Tony Allen's tight defense. In addition, Tony Allen's quick reaction and flexible movement put Kobe in trouble when holding the ball, especially his lightning hand speed and ability to cross the pick-and-roll, which caused Kobe to make mistakes many times.

This is what Jiang Hao was shocked about in this game.

Because watching the video, Tony Allen defended Kobe and made many shots to interfere with Kobe's rhythm dribbling.

Rhythm dribblers are most afraid of this kind of continuous interference dribbling, which also interferes with the rhythm. Kobe, who had no knee injury, could directly rely on speed to break through when the opponent interfered with his dribbling, but now he is easily blocked without absolute speed.

But Tony Allen did not attack once when facing himself who was taller than Kobe.

His hand covered his face.

The other hand was placed on Jiang Hao's right shoulder from time to time, and he kept suggesting that Jiang Hao should break through to the left, which shows that this is a very interesting and smart defensive master!

"And this kid is not proud."

"Of course, if he was still offensive before the serious injury, he would definitely be proud, but after the serious injury, he knew that no matter how he practiced offense, it would be useless, and he also knew that only defense could stand in the league, so he cherished his chance to play on defense." Budenholzer explained why Allen was not proud.

You know, Tony Allen was still a fearless thorn in the green army.

And the most talked about are Tony Allen and LeBron James.

Why is the old matter brought up now?

It's not because of the conflict between Jiang Hao and LeBron.

Just like what a reporter said to Jiang Hao in the last game.

If you get past Tony Allen, you might be able to beat LeBron in the playoffs!!!

Because LeBron James is the most badly defended superstar by Tony Allen!!!

And Jiang Hao is the first person who hates LeBron offline, calling himself the father of the emperor. All the fans want to see you hate LeBron, right?

Do you have the ability to hit high percentages and high data in front of Tony Allen? ? ?

Therefore, most of the fans who criticize Jiang Hao for cowardice and traveling at off-peak times in the forum are fans with LeBron's head portrait.

Little do they know that their boss will have a bigger headache when he meets Tony Allen.

Tony Allen and LeBron James have played against each other 9 times, in the Eastern Conference semifinals of the 2007-2008 season and the Eastern Conference semifinals of the 2009-2010 season.

James's data is 23.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.4 blocks.

The data looks very comprehensive, and it's a super-giant data at a glance.

However, his shooting percentage is only 37.2%, and his three-point shooting percentage is even lower, only 24.4%, while his average turnovers are as high as 5.1 times per game.

Tony Allen's defense is stable and excellent, preventing James' scoring efficiency.

James is an all-around player with excellent physical strength and skills. However, facing Tony Allen's defense, James can't score as easily as usual.

Tony Allen sticks close to James, weakening his scoring power and forcing him to make frequent turnovers when holding the ball.

Puff.

When listening to Budenholzer saying this, Jiang Hao couldn't help laughing. Thinking: Does this guy hold the ball?

"What are you laughing about? Let's talk about business. Tony Allen's defensive skills make James feel uncomfortable almost every time, which makes people have to admire his excellent skills and strategies on the defensive end."

Budenholzer is different from other assistant coaches. He is serious and rarely sees him laughing with players. He is a very serious assistant coach, so he can take on the important task of defensive assistant coach.

Therefore, Jiang Hao also calmed down and continued to listen to him.

In the confrontation with Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, Tony Allen showed amazing defensive ability.

Although he did not get many blocks and steals in these games, he made the opponent's scoring efficiency and hit rate drop significantly through close defense.

Tony Allen relied on quick reaction, flexible movement and excellent defensive skills. Although this defensive method is not eye-catching, it is an excellent embodiment of Tony Allen's value.

In general, in the playoffs, a stage where superstars show their strength, Tony Allen's defense puts great pressure on the ball holder.

His existence proves the importance of defense in basketball games, especially in the playoffs.

Although offensive players often occupy the stage of the game and win the applause of the audience, the role of defensive players cannot be ignored.

Through close defense and strict defense, they force the ball holders to encounter difficulties on the offensive end and reduce their scoring efficiency.

As Tony Allen showed, the outstanding performance of defensive players can fundamentally change the situation of the entire game.

So Budenholzer's choice is to let Jiang Hao reduce his ball possession:

"It will be very simple when you come on the court. Pass the ball to the guards. You run the pick-and-roll tactic and then bounce out or cut in the air. Use your body shape and height advantage to either shoot directly after receiving the ball or occupy the position to attack the basket directly. With his height and wingspan, it is difficult for him to directly cover you without the ball."

"If it doesn't work, just play back to the ball in the low post. Don't let him face you. Eat him with your back. He can't see where the ball is, so it's difficult to defend you."

Budenholzer is really awesome. The last sentence is the essence.

Why Kobe, Durant, and LeBron are so uncomfortable to be defended by Tony Allen, it's because they always attack with the ball in front of Tony Allen. These three also like to attack with the ball, so it's naturally difficult to play against such a fast, stable and strong defender.

So Jiang Hao will play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses directly without playing fancy games, and use tactical pick-and-cut directly!

"OK!"

After the official timeout, the Spurs just changed all the starters. Budenholzer also talked about the tactics to be played later with other players. Jiang Hao returned to the off-ball position.

All teammates nodded in agreement.

Jiang Hao's off-ball play was so familiar to him when he first came here.

Before knowing that Jiang Hao had the ability to attack with the ball, the Spurs had always used him as an off-ball 3D player, and they would always use the old routine! !

After playing again, Messina asked Jiang Hao to defend Tony Allen in order to let Jiang Hao better understand the strongest defensive player he would have to face in the series.

This was equivalent to giving the imperial envoy a case of a ninth-rank sesame official, so-easy!

Jiang Hao came up and shot directly 3 steps away from the three-point line. Tony Allen shot with a somewhat awkward shooting posture, which looked hard.

Sure enough, he couldn't make it in. He hit the front frame, and the feel was so hard that Jiang Hao had obsessive-compulsive disorder. In the end, the rotation of the ball was not enough when he shot it!

But after he didn't make it in, he immediately turned half-turned and stuck to Jiang Hao to defend the ball. He was as excited as a dog smelling food. The dog-skin plaster defense reappeared! !

"Haha."

Jiang Hao smiled bitterly. This big brother is really "sticky"!

Tony Allen is indeed not good at attacking, but he can defend those super scorers like this, which is amazing.

His positive effect on the defensive end is far greater than the negative effect of his inability to attack, which is why he can stand in the NBA for 14 years.

Tony Allen continued to "guard" Jiang Hao closely and Jiang Hao's expression of crying and laughing also excited the home fans.

Some fans saw the comments of the black fans during the timeout.

So they shouted in the front row:

"Hit him!"

"Hit him!"

"Hit him!"

OK!

Jiang Hao, who could guess what the forum would say because he didn't play for 5 minutes in the second quarter, naturally wouldn't let his fans down for too long.

When Tony Allen was not moving, he didn't go to the top arc to catch the ball and force a shot, but after a series of no-ball pick-and-rolls, he suddenly ran back and shook off Tony Allen, who was too old and whose knees and feet were not in time! !

No-ball run back? ? ?

At this time, the ball was in the hands of Duncan, the tactical executor. Duncan had an excellent vision at the free throw line and passed it to Jiang Hao who was running back and cutting.

Jiang Hao received the ball and faced Gasol's defense and made a three-step reverse layup! !

Easy and carefree! !

Tony Allen and Gasol flew up from behind to block, but Jiang Hao did not dunk or layup directly. He used the easiest reverse layup without much jumping to fool them all. The basket was his best protection. No matter how much they chased and blocked him from behind, it was useless! !

Then he smiled and said to Tony Allen who had been talking trash in his ear:

I heard that you are a superstar destroyer?

It's useless to me! ! !

It's really useless!

After Tony Allen was defended by Jiang Hao on the offensive end, his only advantage of physical attack was gone.

After the Grizzlies passed the ball directly to Tony Allen who was left open on the outside, he began to doubt his shot. When he passed it back to Conley, Parker accurately predicted and stole it. Parker rushed to the front court and threw it to the backboard.

Jiang Hao rushed to the back to catch the rebound in the air, and dunked it with both hands! ! ! !

"Wow! Another show!!!"

"Xiu'er, was Teacher Jiang teasing a fool in the first quarter?"

I'm finally going home in the afternoon, so excited!

Whether you have money or not, go home for the New Year!

I have actually been saving up drafts these days, just in case I won't have time to write during the New Year, so I will wait until after the New Year to update it. The updates will not stop, and the excitement will not be bad.
