NBA: Starting CBA system

Reporter asked Bojan:

"You will defend your Heat teammate Jiang Hao in this game. How do you feel? Will you defend him in a targeted manner when both sides are familiar with each other?"

Bojan joked:

"We are just colleagues, we are not familiar with each other."

Jiang Hao also said something similar, which was "misunderstood" by fans as a hint that Wade did not help LeBron. After all, Wade did not say a word for LeBron, who was at the center of public opinion, after Jiang Hao was bullied, which made fans laugh and call him "surface brothers" and "real colleagues!"

Jiang Hao added:

"Bojan is a good player, and he and I have a bright future."

"I hope we will go all out in this game and leave no regrets!"

This statement obviously has the elements of yin and yang Heat. The two players you kicked out have bright futures. I just want to ask you if you are jealous? ?

In fact, Jiang Hao has a good impression of the Pacers. The head coach Vogel was also one of the heads of the coaches who were forced to leave by James in the future. Therefore, he will indeed go all out to show the young Vogel how to defend against top small forwards like LeBron in advance.

As the players gathered in the locker room, the starting rosters of both teams were officially submitted to the league.

The commentators also received the news:

"Wow, the starting lineup is confirmed!! Jiang Hao is on the Spurs starting roster!"

"Yes, Jiang Hao's first start in his career, it's really here!"

"The big one is coming!!"

"Damn, the brother showdown I'm looking forward to will have to wait."

"Bojan might as well start, haha."

Yu Jia: "Is it good or bad for Jiang Hao to be in the starting lineup!"

Hupu launched a topic vote:

"Will the Pacers be the unlucky ones or the lucky ones?"

The results were 50-50.

No one knows whether Jiang Hao can still have so many shooting rights and ball control opportunities in the starting lineup, and no one knows whether the Spurs can hold up after Jiang Hao, a powerful small forward, is on the bench.

Everything depends on the game.

"Oh? Then I'll defend!"

After hearing the news, last year's lottery pick Paul George took the initiative to say that he would defend Jiang Hao and let Granger go against Danny Green.

The Spurs had the same idea. Danny Green, who was more experienced in defense, went to defend Granger, the core of the opponent's offense, while Jiang Hao went to defend Paul George. Who doesn't have a genius in the team? ?

Newcomers vs. newcomers!

Let's see who is more talented!

Bojan was wearing a training suit on the bench and sighed that gold will always shine. When he and Jiang Hao were training in the Heat, he always felt that Jiang Hao was very strong, but he didn't expect that he was really so strong and directly mixed into the starting lineup of the Spurs.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He was obviously cut 2 months earlier than Jiang Hao, but his progress was slower than Jiang Hao. It seems that he has to work harder. He must let him feel his progress tonight.

You know, the Pacers' arrangement before the game was to let him defend Jiang Hao alone. Whether it was Bird or Vogel, they all thought that Bojan was most familiar with Jiang Hao's style of play, and it was more appropriate for him to go to the bench to face Jiang Hao.

But he didn't expect that the Spurs would change the starting lineup today, so he can only see when Vogel will send him to defend Jiang Hao. Paul George must be better at defense than himself.

"Let's welcome the Spurs rookie who made his debut: JIANG!!!"

The Pacers' home DJ also gave this inspirational young man absolute respect. After Jiang Hao came on the court, the spotlight was directly on him for a long time, making Jiang Hao feel that "the world is focusing on you".

A large number of Indiana fans applauded Jiang Hao. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Beating the Heat and LeBron is a good brother!

This was the first time that Jiang Hao stood on the NBA court in his jersey. The number 8 and the word JIANG on the silver and black jersey seemed to be shining. The few Jiang Hao fans at the scene were all in tears. This is a truly inspirational young man! ! !

This was also the first time he stood next to the jump ball circle.

General Joe, who is familiar to later generations, took the initiative to stick to him:

"Hei, I will defend you to death today. I will not let you have an easy time in your first start in your career. Wait for the milestone!"

Jiang Hao looked at George, who was much thinner than later generations, and lowered his center of gravity and smiled:

"Every player who talks trash to me will not have a good result. Just wait to be my background board."

"Let me see!"

Yu Jia:

"The game starts!! Jiang Hao is starting for the first time. Let's see what amazing performance he can have!"

Duncan and Hibbert jumped the ball. Hibbert jumped to the ball and gave it to the boss Granger. Granger made a quick stop jump shot in front of Danny Green.

The Spurs did not have a superstar singles. It was still the regular Parker who called tactics at the No. 1 position. Jiang Hao and Danny Green crossed the 45-degree position to take away the people who helped defend Duncan.

Parker lobbed Duncan as the pivot, and Duncan turned his back and shook off the clumsy Hibbert. After David West came to defend, Duncan passed the ball to Tiago, who easily made a layup.

"The Spurs still start the attack from Duncan, steady!"

In the second round, Granger did not blindly play one-on-one, because Danny Green did not let him rush up this time. He passed the ball to David West at the top of the midline, and West lobbed it to Hibbert. Hibbert's low-post shot against Split missed, and the Spurs had already launched a counterattack while shaking his head in frustration.

This was also the first time Jiang Hao got the ball, because he rushed to grab the rebound.

From the moment Hibbert received the ball, he expected that this soft center would not force a goal. This "Gao Yuanyuan" who is said to be psychologically fragile and sees a psychologist from time to time can eat cakes, but forget about this kind of tough singles. Split is the Spurs' first defensive player.

So he jumped high and rushed to grab the rebound and launched a counterattack on the spot. He changed his body and passed Paul George with his shoulder muscles. When he chased George in the front court and George made an offensive foul, he did not greedily pass the ball back to Danny Green who followed up.

Danny Green took the ball and took off

But he was hit by the young and strong George who was first to jump.

Blocked! ! !

"Jiang Hao pushed the counterattack and passed to Green in seconds. Green was blocked from behind!!"

"The Pacers' defense!!"

The scene directly booed PG's name. This is their future star. His play is so exciting! !

"Mine."

Danny Green patted his chest to show that he was to blame and should be more stable.

"It's okay, keep playing like this!"

Jiang Hao patted his butt, as if Danny Green was starting for the first time. In fact, psychologically, he had played at least 200 games in the CBA in his previous life, much more than Danny Green. He didn't feel like a rookie starter at all.

The Spurs passed the ball to Split from the baseline. Split got up from the spot and was interfered by the 2.2-meter-tall Hibbert's long arms. West rebounded! ! !

George Hill controlled the court and dribbled slowly, but still chose to play positionally!

After 22 seconds, he suddenly passed the ball to Paul George who was circling outside.

Paul George received the ball outside the three-point line and sniped a three-pointer. Jiang Hao was blocked by Hill and was a step slower, and the ball went in!

"This defense! Tough!"

"This offense, it messes with my mentality!"

Jiang Hao finally understood why this team in the future could play a tiebreaker with the Heat.

Let's not talk about offense. Vogel obviously didn't coach the offense well. Although he was very good at using the twin towers tactics, Hibbert was much worse than West and his efficiency was not high. The three shots in the backcourt were more singles, which was the same as the pre-match analysis.

But the defense was really good. Vogel boldly used a 3-2 zone defense (three-two, not two-three) against the passing and cutting system, which was very special.

This reminded Jiang Hao of the thick eyebrow brother covering the sky and the sun in this defensive system. This choice was very useful against the Nuggets and Warriors in the future.

This slow rhythm was very restraining for the fast-playing Heat, mainly because the twin towers could protect the rebounds, which prevented the Heat from launching a quick counterattack.

But it was useless against the Spurs! !

The Spurs are a team that focuses on the inside!

Especially after he started, he received Messina's instructions before the game to attack the inside!!

If you want to play positional, I will play with you! !

So after the two sides fought each other for 5 rounds and tested each other, Parker obviously saw the Pacers' defensive position clearly. In the sixth round, he pointed at Jiang Hao and asked him to go to the top of the arc, and also passed the ball hand to hand.

Jiang Hao accelerated a step and pushed George, who was still a little thin, away at the moment of receiving the pass. He made a fake move of the European step to attract Hibbert to jump completely, and then threw the ball to Duncan. Duncan received the ball steadily and scored with one arm slam dunk! !

"Nice pass!!"

"You didn't pass it too high this time. I know you don't want to catch it."

"Understand me!"

The two clapped their hands and retreated.

"Jiang Hao assists +1!! He played very well as a starter!"

"The Pacers only have 2 players in the interior, what are they doing on the outside?"

"Yeah, how dare the Spurs use only Hibbert and the short center West to defend the interior?"

"The black Yao Ming is not Yao Ming after all, and the 36-year-old Duncan is the real Duncan!"

The eyelids of Bojan on the Pacers bench twitched. After such a long time, he saw Jiang Hao in actual combat again. It was obviously different. This rhythm, this control ability, and the original excellent basketball IQ, this rhythm is definitely going to develop into a forward holding the ball and attacking the core?

You know, in the Heat, Jiang Hao always used three-threat shots or direct confrontations. How can there be so many delicate movements and such steady footsteps? The European step is here to deceive the defense.

He heard that he can also play back, but he didn't believe it.
