NBA: Starting CBA system

Juwan: "I thought you were going to irritate someone? Why aren't you tough now? Silent tough guy?"

Jiang Hao smiled and patted Juwan on the back: "It's not time yet."

Jaylen Williams didn't reach out and made a face at Jiang Hao.

Wade puffed up his cheeks and still looked like a big boss: "See you on the court."

They had all experienced two conflicts with Jiang Hao, so it was more of a pity to see Jiang Hao wearing a Spurs jersey. This kind of thing can't be faked. Jones pretended to dribble and warm up while James was rubbing magnesium powder next to him and passed by Jiang Hao who was warming up with high legs:

"Show your ability to fight him one-on-one after you go on the court, and use all you have learned in your life! You can gain a firm foothold in the Spurs."

"I have evolved again than that time!"

Jones smiled and dribbled away: "You are still so pretentious, go on the court first and talk about it, brat."

Jiang Hao naturally wouldn't shake hands with James, and James seemed to deliberately keep a distance from him.

Rich Paul in the fifth row looked like his teeth biting into his flesh when he glanced at Jiang Hao.

The reporters noticed it, but it was normal for them. Who would be upset if their players were cut? Jiang Hao didn't say hello to James.

They didn't talk about this topic until after the game. They really have a grudge!

Yu Jia:

"The game is about to start. Let's look forward to Jiang Hao showing his style against his former team!!"

Yao Ming saw Jiang Hao warming up on the sidelines and said:

"He was cut so soon. Is it because the Heat is not good or Jiang Hao himself is not good? We will know in this game. It seems that he will play. Fans, rest assured."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, the highly anticipated strong confrontation began! !

The Spurs continued with their regular starting lineup, Parker + Green + Wu Sheng + Duncan + Tiago.

The Heat Mario + Wade + James + Bosh + Haslem.

Jiang Hao, who was sitting off the court, suddenly felt that the two sides were playing in the 2014 Finals. In his previous life, he saw the same starting lineup in the 2014 Finals, and it has not changed in the past 3 years.

Bosh jumped to the ball, Mario passed the ball to James on the wing for a single play, James pushed Jackson away from the free throw line and made a mid-range shot!

There was a shot at the start!

A bad signal!

The Spurs were half-hearted at once, if LeBron tried to shoot right away, it would be difficult to play.

Sure enough, the Spurs led the defense for 24 seconds and the Heat arranged unlimited switching defenses. Duncan forced a hook shot and missed. After Bosh got the rebound, the Heat directly launched a counterattack. Forward James came to advance with the ball, and Jackson couldn't stop the ball at all.

Directly 4 vs. 2 in the frontcourt.

James compressed the defense and passed the ball to Mario, who scored a 3-pointer!

"It's over, we were brought into the Heat rhythm in the first two rounds."

Jiang Hao, who was familiar with the Heat's playing rhythm, slapped his thigh. This was the rhythm of the Big Three's favorite speed-up and quick transition.

The Spurs can play steadily, but not too steadily!

Spoelstra has studied the Spurs thoroughly and knows that you like to play tactics. Then I will switch defenses endlessly. Both of your inside players are slow. When all the players can keep up, you have no ability to break through from the outside. How can you get open space?

You can only play one-on-one!

Sure enough, after Duncan and Split played two consecutive singles and only earned one foul, Parker controlled the ball and signaled everyone to move away. He opened up space and used speed to break through and overtake Mario, making a layup and tearing the Heat's defense once.

But then Mario used his body to force him to the basket and made a layup but missed. However, Bosh passed the rebound to Wade from behind, and Wade passed Danny Green and rushed into the paint to make a layup!

"The Heat's Big Three have also transformed into veterans after losing in the finals last season. They play very steadily!"

Yang Yi from the United States praised.

O'Neal:

"The Spurs' defense is still weak, and the inside line only has blocking but no bounce. Hurry up and replace Manu. You can only rely on Manu to fight against each other."

Commentaries around the world all have the same meaning. After playing for 5 minutes, it is obvious that the Spurs are a step slower. Both offense and defense are stretched and exhausted.

The Heat is younger and more energetic than the Spurs. The Spurs can only rely on Duncan and Parker as two pillars on offense, but the opponent has 3.

A 13-4 start!

If the demon sword is not replaced to kill a few balls, it will collapse.

But Messina did not replace Manu.

He inherited Popovich's habit of changing players by the clock.

Manu usually leads the bench at 8 minutes in the first quarter. At this time, small forward Jackson should be replaced to improve the defense.

If Manu is replaced now, who will lead the bench? Duncan and Manu, two old guys with injuries all over their bodies, have to be used sparingly in the regular season. Parker can't lead the bench lineup with weaker inside defense.

Once Jackson's offense was affected, his defense was even less active. The Spurs' first substitution was half of the forwards.

Today, Jackson faced James. He had no chance to touch the ball except for hand-to-hand passes. James's defense area was too scary and he couldn't stop him at all.

Then, when no one expected it, Messina pointed directly at Jiang Hao at the end of the bench in the middle of the first quarter:

"JIANG, you go up and defend James, OK?"

"OK!"

Jiang Hao jumped up from his seat and handed over to Jackson in Leonard's dumbfounded expression.

"You can't waste such a good warm-up."

Messina patted his butt to encourage him.

"Hehe."

Jiang Hao ran to the court in a chic manner. The Spurs fans cheered in surprise, and Yao Ming had an expression that said I guessed it.

"That Kawhi was DNPed?" Spoelstra was shocked when he saw Jiang Hao appear on the court. It was too early.

Juwan looked at Jiang Hao with a sense of unfamiliarity. This guy played the role of a pseudo substitute and a real starter in the second game?

James was visibly unhappy when Jiang Hao stood directly in front of him to defend.

Fuck?

Did the Spurs really see the video of Jiang Hao's one-on-one challenge?

Otherwise, why did they let him play so soon, and directly against him?

He and Rich Paul both estimated that Jiang Hao could only come on the bench to match Jones, but he was directly defending himself in the first rotation! ! !

The dead memory appeared in his head again, and he had a headache when he thought of Jiang Hao's inexplicable defense.

James really didn't want to be defended by Jiang Hao! He was even more unwilling to defend against his annoying former teammate who had studied him thoroughly and defeated him 3:0.

"Long time no see, are you sweating?"

Jiang Hao smiled and leaned over to defend James to receive the ball. He knew what LeBron was thinking, because he was also thinking about how Barea defended James.

But he didn't expect Messina to be so powerful in his second game in his Spurs career! !

The sixth man-like appearance order, the cards are full!

Messina's bold decision this time is naturally due to the video, but most of it was fought for by Jiang Hao himself.

The Spurs can't afford to gamble, they also want to prove that they are not old! They can still beat the hot chicken in the league!

Before the game, ESPN also wrote an article specifically "criticizing" the Spurs for bullying the weak: the winning rate against the league's non-playoff teams is nearly 90%, the winning rate against the playoff teams is only 30%, and the winning rate against the top 10 teams in the league is only 10%, which means that in this half season, they almost lost every game against the championship teams!

Leonard was supposed to play, but Leonard was useless. He was beaten when defending James last time, and his performance in recent games was mediocre. Anyway, he is definitely not at the level of James.

Then only the third forward Jiang Hao can take over.

Jiang Hao has the biggest advantage over Leonard. He understands the Heat's tactics!

Although the Spurs did not expect a two-way contract player to master many of the Heat's core secret tactics, Jiang Hao has watched the Heat on the sidelines for half a season and is definitely more familiar with these players than Leonard.

"Be careful, just follow him all the time."

Duncan did not have the "laughing" he had when playing against the Cavaliers tonight. After Jiang Hao came up, he signaled him to just follow James and don't let him rush up.

"You are really lucky."

James sprayed a word and stepped back to receive the pass, playing 2-3. The Heat fans on the scene shouted "fight, fight, fight", but he directly gave the ball to Wade.

Wade was deliberately put two steps behind by Danny Green. He tried a 3-pointer, but missed.

Duncan grabbed the rebound with his long arms.

After Wade shot, Jiang Hao immediately turned around and rushed to the front court and shouted to Duncan:

"Tim!!! Give me the ball!!"

He was almost two steps ahead of James, but James, who reacted, immediately took three steps and followed Jiang Hao, ready to block him as soon as he received the ball. He has the world's top talent for chasing and defending.

So active?

Seeing Jiang Hao occupying the position advantage, Duncan complained about Jiang Hao's enthusiasm today, but he didn't put his hand down and swung it to the front court. This was indeed a hard-won opportunity to seize the initiative and score directly!

But the person chasing and defending was James!

After entering the three-point line, Jiang Hao slowed down and used his body to block James to prevent him from getting in front of him. After the ball landed, he accelerated and successfully got the pass and dribbled to prepare for the game.

Just when everyone thought that Jiang Hao was going to dribble and lick the basket, he was blocked by James behind him.
