NBA: Starting CBA system

"Jiang Hao only scored 14 points? CJ~B!"

There are a lot of stinky comments on the forum.

Jiang Hao, who was just called the king of one-on-one in the team, started the game and played for 37 minutes to get 14 points, 8 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, but failed to save the team from defeat.

But those who watched the whole game know that Jiang Hao can't be blamed.

And the old Spurs fans are actually very calm. The Spurs are a classic team that gives strength to strong teams and warmth to weak teams. They may relax when playing against weak teams, but they are fully prepared when playing against strong teams.

Cavaliers fans: Meow meow meow? ? So we are the ones who are being beaten?

Spurs fans: That's because you are too bad.

The reason why the Spurs lost this game is very simple. The Kings really double-teamed them. They double-teamed Jiang Hao, who was in hot form recently, at the beginning. In addition, the other Spurs players didn't have a good touch, and the Kings had an explosive touch from the outside. The last wave took away the game.

And the Kings have always been a crazy team. They can lose to any team and win any loss. There are a lot of ups and downs.

When Jiang Hao saw the lineup on paper, he couldn't believe that the Kings were the second-to-last in the West.

Thornton, cousin Cousins, Evans, Thomas, Jason Thompson, the starting five all averaged double-digit points per game, and the substitutes included Fredette, the lonely god who later came to the CBA, and Whiteside, who also shone in the CBA and returned to the NBA to become the block king.

This lineup can't possibly be the bottom.

After understanding it, I found out that cousin Cousins ​​is the player with the most technical fouls and six fouls this season. He is often sent off after being angered, and the fines add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. When he is not on the court, the Kings' inside line naturally collapses.

So many times whether the Kings can win depends on whether Cousins ​​is on the court in the fourth quarter.

After all, this is also the man who briefly became the league's top center. He is too important to the Kings.

Just like today's Cousins, as long as he rushed into the inside, he would dunk. The main thing was that the cousin also controlled the ball. When Jiang Hao tried to delay his fast break, he was fooled by the cousin's sudden change of direction. Then no one could stop the completely rushing Cousins.

With control, shooting and confrontation, the cousin has shown the potential to become the league's top center at this stage.

In addition, the Spurs did not provoke him to play tricks, and there was no need, so the cousin played well today and played for 44 minutes to get a big double-double of 32 points and 15 rebounds! !

But in fact, the focus today is not on the inside.

It's not on LeBron Evans, on the contrary, Evans's iron stroke is useless.

The main highlight tonight is that Thomas will face Jiang Hao again today! !

This year's second-round 60th pick, the man who sent blessings to each other in the Heat rookie tryout.

A month ago, he was directly selected as the starter of the Kings, but because Jiang Hao also stood up, or it can be said that he stood up a lot

In addition to the Kings' poor record, the popularity of this player who is called the strongest 175cm player on the surface by Sacramento fans has been suppressed by Jiang Hao.

It was originally a remarkable achievement for him to be the starter in the first year of the second round 30th pick, not to mention that he is still a small potato, so he has been holding his breath for this head-on confrontation with Jiang Hao since a month ago.

But Jiang Hao didn't care about these.

As a result, the Spurs' back line was all passed by Thomas in one step.

Parker, Danny Green, Neal, Mills and others are not used to defending such a short and big-butt player. It is simply unsolvable to change direction and press the rhythm to force the opponent to press forward and foul.

This season, he averaged 12 points, 4.1 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1 steal per game, and his three-point shooting rate of 38% is the highest among the starters. The free throw and shooting percentages are the highest in the team. This is why he can be a starter.

On the defensive end, he mindlessly helped Thornton double-team Jiang Hao, which was equivalent to two guards double-teaming Jiang Hao. Wouldn't this make Jiang Hao uncomfortable?

This game also made Thomas finally stand out:

The strongest 175cm on the planet shines in the NBA! ! He scored 19 points and 7 assists to help the Kings defeat the Spurs and end the team's 7-game losing streak.

It's equivalent to an undrafted starter VS another undrafted starter.

Thomas also pretended to be cool to Jiang Hao after the game:

"You are very strong, but you are not particularly strong after being defeated by us?"

Jiang Hao laughed:

"You just ended your losing streak, and we just ended our winning streak. It's good, so we don't have to bear the pressure of winning streak before entering the playoffs."

Puff.

Thomas almost vomited blood because of Jiang Hao's words.

So you mean you haven't played seriously yet? ?

And the most lethal trash talk for this kind of tank team is "We are going to play in the playoffs, and what are you doing? Fishing?"

For Jiang Hao, it's not that he was restricted by the Kings, but it was the first time he encountered a double-team situation, which is the treatment of a superstar outside player.

Moreover, he did not think of forcing himself to break through the double team by his personal ability, but chose to trust his teammates.

After all, the 192 and 175 in front of him could stop him from breaking through and shooting, but the passing vision could not be stopped at all, so Jiang Hao made many quick passes under the request of himself and the coaching staff.

However, his teammates were also collectively silent today, and Jiang Hao himself did not feel good under the double team later.

How can the team win with 4 of 21 three-pointers?

ESPN commentators said:

"Jiang Hao at least passed 20 open positions. What can he do if he can't make the shot? The Spurs will lose this game no matter how you look at it."

"Duncan didn't mess with his cousin's mentality, otherwise the Kings would easily overturn in the second half."

"Thomas was full of passion, while the Spurs played quite dull. Only Leonard was a little more excited, but he was also shown off by Evans. He showed off his crotch step-back and made a mistake."

"You have to learn Jiang Hao slowly. It is impossible for him to really become Jiang Hao."

After that ball, Jiang Hao criticized Kazi. He asked you to use your body to play, but you didn't do the crotch step-back. Don't just practice what I practice.

Kazi scolded him directly: "Do you think you are Jiang? Do what he taught you well!"

Leonard nodded in shame. He just tried it that time.

Duncan told the whole team after the game that this kind of failure is nothing. Just forget it. According to his experience, there will be several games in the regular season every year where the whole team is out of shape. It may be because they were too excited about fighting yesterday or because they didn't feel it after resting for a long time at home.

Anyway, there is always such a game where everyone is playing badly. It has nothing to do with ability, but the state is not good.

So the Spurs and the players are very open-minded about ending the winning streak. It's time to end the winning streak.

Otherwise, winning more will become a burden. It's okay to pursue a winning streak at the beginning of the season, but you can't pursue a winning streak at the end of the season. It will hurt the team.

Jiang Hao felt deeply about this. The Warriors were just pursuing a 73-win record in the regular season. In the end, the main players were too tired during the rest period of the regular season, and the playoffs were directly reversed.

"The Spurs lost to the Kings for the first time this season. Cousins ​​roared excitedly after the game."

"Jiang Hao lost the first time in his Spurs career, and his consecutive 20+ record is no longer."

After this big upset tonight became the doomsday for gamblers, Jiang haters also increased directly. James fans and many Spurs hostile fan groups found an opportunity to bombard Jiang Hao, saying that he didn't carry.

However, it was not Jiang Hao's fans' turn to fight back this time. Neutral fans and commentators couldn't stand it.

Some basketball commentators even directly criticized:

"LeBron scored 8 points in a single game in last year's finals, so what's wrong with Jiang Hao's 14 points in this game?"

Rich Paul, who was originally enjoying watching the criticism of the Spurs and Jiang Hao's remarks, put the commentator's name on the blacklist: Thank you, why are you talking about this?

LeBron James smashed another vase. The 8-point joke was finally deleted, and he brought it up again? Even if he doesn't defend in this year's finals, he has to score 20+ points in each game!

Play is play.

Losing is losing.

The small loss in this game did not hinder Jiang Hao's ability to make money.

The day after losing to the Kings.

Jiang Hao finally ushered in his first, most profitable and most anticipated endorsement contract! !

Shoe signature contract!

One of the lifelong dreams of professional basketball players.

Jaylen Williams finally helped him finalize the shoe contract of the brand he chose!

He finally doesn't have to wear shoes of various brands to play.

This is what Jaylen Williams has been doing since he became Jiang Hao's agent, that is, to get Jiang Hao a good sneaker contract.

NBA players can get good salaries from the team, and some of them also have sneaker contracts or endorsement contracts with other brands. The endorsement contracts of some players are their biggest source of income.

So Jiang Hao is likely to get a sneaker endorsement income that is higher than his own salary from playing.

Jiang Hao knows that this situation is very common. The value of some players' sneaker contracts is higher than the salary given to them by the team. Rose and Kuzma in a few years are the most typical examples. They are the spokespersons of Adidas and Puma respectively, and they make a lot of money by endorsing sneaker brands.

Therefore, the sneaker endorsement contract is the only contract that Jiang Hao has not refused to sign now. Signing this contract will not have any impact on him during the season, and it will be beneficial to the players.

Originally, Jiang Hao could only take it as he pleased, and he had never worn shoes that really fit him. Of course, he also wanted to have a pair of his own combat boots.

The lockers of each team are filled with team-specific color sneakers sent by brands, and players who don't have sneaker contracts can choose some sneakers from them.

Shoe contracts are mainly divided into three types: signature shoe contracts, cash contracts and equipment contracts.

The lowest level is the equipment contract.

The vast majority of NBA players sign equipment contracts with brands, and they can get a lot of free equipment. Most players are water cooler players or inside players.

These players can also get store vouchers, which they can use to buy the clothes or shoes they want online.

Most players who get equipment contracts have product allowances worth $25,000 a season.

The second type is cash contracts.

More than 70 players in the league have received cash contracts, with lower-value contracts ranging from $200,000 to $300,000 per year, and larger contracts ranging from $2 million to $3 million per year.
