NBA: Starting CBA system

Jiang Hao was directly praised as the NBA's Most Improved Player! ! Although it is impossible for him to choose this award this season.

(Note: The Most Improved Players can only participate in the evaluation starting from their second grade. It can only be said that Jiang Hao has improved beyond the rules set by the league.)

The Holy City press team all left in person:

"Don't be upset, Heat. Just watch the highlights of every Jiang Hao game. We don't need to watch these things."

"We only see the gif of Jiang Haofei kicking Richie Paul"

I even added a GIF later. It can be seen that these reporters with V also guessed that Rich Paul was suddenly causing trouble and responded directly.

Even these two videos are viewed as fun by fans. The popularity is not bad, but they will not criticize Jiang Hao, because he has grown into the main force of the Spurs' substitutes, okay!

In fact, the reason why Rich Paul suddenly caused trouble like a mad dog is because he received news that Nike was preparing to sign Jiang Hao, and he still gave this Chinese player a long-term contract worth tens of millions! !

We can't let this brat get rich! ! !

With his plummeting reputation, it was naturally impossible for him to personally advise the Nike operations department not to sign Jiang Hao. He could only resort to small tricks like this.

But he didn't expect Feng Xiang to be completely different from what he thought. The one who was mocking Jiang Hao's crotch was actually praising his speed of progress? ? ?

Moreover, these two news revelations that he bought with a lot of money really became Jiang Hao's stepping stone the next day.

Because it's the next morning.

When Spurs general manager RC Buford was interviewed by the Indiana media, he suddenly made a shocking statement and broke a piece of heavy news:

"JIANG may start in tonight's game!"

You must know that RC is the king of Tai Chi. The reporters who interview him will never dig out any useful information from his mouth. Why should they interview him just because he is the legendary general manager RC?

But I didn't expect that he would suddenly say this

Upon thinking about it, it was obvious that he was standing up for Jiang Hao.

Therefore, the headlines of basketball news directly became:

"Last year's undrafted player has become the Spurs' starting small forward this year!! Congratulations JIANG!!"

Reddit forum spoof video:

"Jiang Hao's level last year VS this year's level. There are reasons for losing the selection, and there are reasons for starting the starting lineup!"

Highlighted comment: "There are reasons to be kicked even if you are kicked" (implying the Heat)

Rich Paul vomited blood again, and I heard that Nike executives' contract proposal has moved a step closer.

Although RC Buford only mentioned that he might start, it has already caused a stir, which shows that Jiang Hao now has a lot of fans.

And it is indeed a big deal. With the Spurs in full swing, an undrafted Heat player will soon replace Wu Sheng in the starting lineup? ? ?

This is considered a major event of the Spurs season!

And this sentence also made the Pacers, who were going to face the Spurs tonight, nervous for a while.

Boyang asked Jiang Hao to come out for a cup of coffee while tentatively saying:

"Brother, are you really starting?"

Jaylen Williams:

"Hey hey hey, no matter whether he starts or not, he can beat you all."

Jiang Hao also smiled and said:

"Don't you dare say that I will definitely beat you up. The defeated general will always be the defeated general."

Boyang laughed:

"Why are you talking so irritatingly?"

Jay:

"It's a good thing the news didn't show the video of you and Jiang Hao dueling, otherwise you wouldn't be able to survive in the Pacers."

Boyang:

"Haha, it makes sense. There are too many duels between me and JIANG. I have never won, but I will win tonight. We are third in the Eastern Conference."

Jiang Hao:

"What's the use? Since ancient times, the east has been weak and the west has been strong."

"Hahahahaha!"

The three of them clinked coffee cups and drank happily. They all experienced big changes in their careers this year. They were all laid off by the Heat and they are all living a good life now. They can be considered to have crossed the mountain.

Jiang Hao and Bo Yang took advantage of the lunch break of the two teams to gather outside the arena for half an hour and then separated. For brothers, it is more exciting to see each other on the basketball court. There is nothing good to reminisce about the past, and they are all looking forward to it with all their energy. This is the first head-to-head confrontation between each of them.

When we meet on a narrow road, one brother will always win!

Going all out is the greatest respect for a brother!

Let's play, let's make fun, don't make fun of the game.

In the afternoon, the Spurs still held a training meeting to prepare for tonight's game against the Pacers.

The Pacers are the strongest team in the eight-game series apart from the Lakers and Clippers. They are now only 0.5 games away from the Heat, which is second in the Eastern Conference. Everyone wants to surpass the Heat, so there is no way to let things go. of.

Big Bird Bird also responded to the media in the afternoon about Jiang Hao's possible starting tonight:

"They will regret it. The Spurs don't need Wu Sheng! We will win the Spurs in the transition stage between the old and the new!!"

Dare to try our lineup and make them regret it! !

As soon as the king forced him to say this, the smell of gunpowder suddenly came up.

"Let's fight." Fans from both sides were gearing up before the game.

Jiang Hao was looking forward to this showdown, so he listened carefully to the pre-match analysis.

The Pacers are a veteran playoff team, from competing with Jordan's Bulls in the playoffs, to reaching the Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2000, to joining the Big Three of Miami in the Eastern Conference Finals for many consecutive years after 2010. Indiana has created a team that is as tough as the Celtics.

Larry Bird is the soul of the Pacers. In the first round of the 2006 draft, Sean Williams was selected and Rajon Rondo was missed.

But he also selected Granger with the 17th pick in 2005, and personally picked the current All-Star center Hibbert (17th pick in 2008) and future superstar George (10th pick in 2010), and selected the core players for the Pacers' rise in the following years.

This year, he used the 15th pick to trade for the Spurs' backup guard George Hill, who was directly made into the Pacers' point guard core, averaging 14.2 points, 4.7 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game, with only 1.5 turnovers.

Just as Jiang Hao told Yang and Su about the Clippers' shortcomings, the Clippers' shortcomings did not appear in the Pacers at all.

The players in the five positions are balanced, and the coach is Vogel, a young and aggressive coach promoted by Bird, who is also the former head coach of the Lakers before Jiang Hao crossed over, and can be called a tactical genius.

Messina guessed the starting lineup:

Point guard George Hill, a point guard trained by the Spurs who can score and control the game. He is an all-around guard who can not only organize offense but also play an important role on the defensive end.

Shooting guard Paul George: The Pacers are an absolute genius player. As the team's top scorer and defensive pillar, George has demonstrated outstanding skills and unyielding fighting spirit. His outstanding performance attracted the attention of the entire league and won a series of victories for the Pacers.

Small forward Danny Granger: Granger is known for his excellent shooting skills and scoring ability

The power forward is All-Star forward David West, who was previously paired with Paul in the Hornets. West is an experienced player who has demonstrated excellent scoring and rebounding abilities in the game, providing the team with solid inside support.

Center Roy Hibbert, nicknamed Black Yao Ming, is an excellent defensive center. His blocking and rebounding abilities have brought great advantages to the Pacers.

Jiang Hao is too familiar with the Pacers. When Udoka reads their names, Jiang Hao's mind is recalling those passionate and glorious moments of the Pacers.

Who doesn't know this firefighter team when watching the Eastern Conference playoffs in the past few years? Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead, everyone in the world knows you.

Every year in the Eastern Conference, only the Pacers can give the Heat Big Three real trouble. The fighting spirit and team play of this group of people impress passers-by fans, and George is like DeRozan in the Eastern Conference, always fighting against James.

Messina:

"Their backup point guard is Collison, who is good at fancy dribbling."

"Barboza, who is good at shooting."

"Dante Jones, Taylor, Price"

"One of the possible X factors is Jiang's former teammate Bojan, who is a heavy tank forward with good low-post defense and accurate shooting."

"Another one is the second-round pick Stephenson, the shooting guard selected by the Pacers last season. This guard will score goals like crazy from time to time. Try not to let him dribble comfortably when he is on the court."

"Although these two players only averaged six or seven points per game, they both had outstanding performances of 20+ during the season."

"Understood!"

After "finishing the class", the Spurs players stretched and nodded. In fact, Jiang Hao knew these people very well even without class. As for Finson, he is his junior brother, a famous electric guitarist in the NBA. Today he must play a song in front of him.

The Pacers' lineup is only different from that of later generations, which is equivalent to joining the Pacers 3 years in advance. Maybe the Pacers can really make a big thing in the East! !

6pm.

Players from both teams entered Conseco Arena. Jiang Hao was surprised to see that the background picture of the pre-match poster was him and Bojan. It seems that the Pacers also like this Croatian sharpshooter very much.

And before the game, reporters also focused on asking these two freshmen this year.

Because the Spurs and the Pacers have no special connection in terms of origin and rivalry. The two teams have no hatred or love. The Pacers are mostly newcomers, and the Spurs are all veterans.

Most of them are personal, such as the general managers of the two teams compete for the best general manager in the league every year.

For example, George Hill will definitely work harder against his old club, but in fact, the Spurs traded him to the Pacers to free up his playing time. He played like a fish in water in the Pacers, and George Hill has always been grateful to the Spurs.

So the biggest topic is naturally the matchup between Bojan, the one-punch man, and Jiang Hao, the one-leg man.

The two former Heat players were both small forwards fired by Pat Riley.

If the news that Jiang Hao started was false, the two would rotate against each other, but if it was true, the chances of them facing each other would be limited.
