Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 288

For Russell Westbrook, this was a very bad offensive and defensive experience. Frankly speaking, he has never underestimated Jiang Hao from the bottom of his heart, but at the same time, he does not feel that he is better than Jiang Hao. Difference.

So to a certain extent, this series is regarded by him as an opportunity to fight the bayonet.

In this case, he actually did not allow himself to fall into a disadvantage in any round of fishbone knife matchup.

But I didn't expect that he made a mistake on the defensive end just after the game started, although it was a bit reluctant to call it a mistake in the round just now.

But for players who are strict with themselves, this is really a mistake.

So, hold your breath.

In the next offensive round of the Lone Ranger, when Westbrook saw that Jiang Hao was still holding the ball on the Lone Ranger side, he immediately volunteered and rushed over. He wanted to face the bayonet again. From a perspective, from the perspective of his positioning in the Thunder team, this approach is a bit irrational.

But he still did it, because that's his Westbrook character.

At the top of the arc, outside the three-point line, Jiang Hao and Westbrook, holding the ball, started a contest invisibly.

"This is the second matchup between the core players of the two teams in a very short period of time in this game. It looks very interesting. Let's look forward to what happens next."

On the court, Westbrook frowned, watching the bayonet hesitate at the three-point line.It also got closer, and then, the bayonet was suddenly activated, and he used the same side step to hold the ball to break through Westbrook. Westbrook was a guard, especially when he was not a tall point guard. The weight is similar to that of Jiang Hao, so without full preparation, Jiang Hao easily succeeded. Sure enough, just after a breakthrough, there was another Oklahoma City Thunder player in front of him, obviously.Thunder still cares about Jiang Hao very much, of course, this is not surprising.

However, Jiang Hao did not take a strong attack. Even when he broke through, he never thought about attacking himself. Instead, he passed the ball to Harris Barnes on the left as soon as he was double-teamed. Harris Barnes After receiving the ball, Sis rushed all the way to the basket from the left, suddenly stopped suddenly and made a jump shot!
"Strike!" Jiang Hao and Harris Barnes clapped hands.

This made Westbrook a little uncomfortable again. If Jiang Hao completed the shot because of his carelessness in the last offensive round, then he was fully prepared for this ball.

But who would have thought that at this time the bayonet would suddenly not be singled out.

On the next ball, Jiang Hao followed suit and broke through again to pass the ball to Harris Barnes. This time, the Thunder obviously took precautions against Harris Barnes.But Harris Barnes took advantage of the situation and threw the ball to the basket. DeAndre Jordan jumped up and dunked with both hands!
"Well, Bayonet Jin sent out excellent assists in a row. Obviously, he is trying to play a different version of himself"

Driven by Jiang Hao, the Dallas Mavericks gradually took the lead in the score.The wonderful cooperation between Jiang Hao and Harris Barnes also made the audience excited.

"This is surprising. You can understand this as the trump card prepared by the Dallas Mavericks, but it is undeniable that at present, the striker combination of Bayonet + Harris Barnes looks very effective."

"Of course, this may be the reason why everyone ignored Harris Barnes from the very beginning. After all, as the former Golden State Warriors champion player, Harris Barnes' personal ability has always been very strong. , Mark Cuban brought him to Dallas with a big contract, in fact, he planned to train him as the leader of the new generation of Dallas Lone Rangers”

When Harris Barnes, with the cooperation of Jiang Hao, hit shots again and again, many people finally began to think of Harris Barnes.

On the court, when the Dallas Mavericks under the leadership of Jiang Hao showed more and more terrifying strength, Thunder star Russell Westbrook also began to respond quickly. , he hit three-pointers in a row from the bottom corner, and then not only overtook the score again but also opened up the point difference. At the same time, on the other hand, there was a problem with the Lone Ranger's rebounds, especially the protection of the backcourt rebounds. , Very poor, when facing the Thunder's Noel and Adams, the combination of Jordan + Harris Barnes is indeed powerless.

Listening to Rick Carlisle yelling "rebound" and "rebound" on the sidelines, Jiang Hao also felt anxious. Seeing his opponent grab the rebound again and again and launch a second attack, Jiang Hao was also extremely annoyed, but he couldn't be on the court. He was indifferent, and then he decided to start with defense. Jiang Hao decided to share the pressure of rebounding for the inside.

Now that the decision is made to start on the defensive end, something has to be done.

So, the next interesting scene appeared, the Thunder grabbed the Dallas Mavericks' backcourt rebounds, Jiang Hao also ran to grab their backcourt rebounds, Harris Barnes made a mid-range shot, and the basketball hit the top of the rim , and bounced straight back, Jiang Hao predicted the direction of the rebound in advance, and rushed over immediately, between the two Thunder players, he forcefully squeezed the opponent away, and then took the key with both hands. offensive rebounds.

To be honest, after Harris Barnes made the shot, the other Dallas Mavericks players didn't think about grabbing the rebound, and they all prepared to return to defense in advance. Therefore, Jiang Hao is now almost a Dallas Maverick player sandwiched between several Thunder players. However, in the eyes of Thunder coach Donovan, this picture is so harmonious, as if Jiang Hao is also a member of the Thunder team.

I saw that after Jiang Hao got the ball, he made a fake move, which caused Adams to foul and made two free throws.

At this time, the assistant coach of the Thunder team, Derante, frowned and couldn't help saying: "They were really careless about this rebound."

.........

Jiang Hao made two free throws and scored her 8th point in the game.

In this way, in the first quarter of the game, although Jiang Hao didn't kill all sides on the offensive end very fiercely like in the regular season, she showed people what true omnipresence is.

Organize the offense, defend the rebound, and score.

In the first quarter, Jiang Hao showed everyone his comprehensive side.

For many fans, this scene is a bit surprising.

After all, the biggest feeling of bayonet in the regular season is that its scoring ability is extremely terrifying.

Everyone did not expect that in addition to scoring ability, the bayonet is also extremely terrifying in other aspects.

"Obviously, the crazy bayonet we saw in the regular season has not actually gone all out. At this moment, he is on the big stage of the playoffs, and this is the real beginning to show everyone. his fangs"

Soon, the second quarter will start. Compared with the first quarter, the overall rhythm of the second quarter will be relaxed.

But that's all.

After all, it is a playoff match between the tip of the needle and the maimang, and neither side is willing to lose easily.

Therefore, compared to the first quarter, the two sides in the second quarter were a lot of back and forth. Judging from the final score at the end of the second quarter, almost no one of the two sides took advantage.

And Jiang Hao played a total of about 8 minutes in the second quarter. During this time, his influence on the offensive end was obviously greater than that in the first quarter.

After all, he is the number one scorer of the Dallas Mavericks. If he can't focus most of his energy on the offensive end, he is actually irresponsible to the entire team.

Furthermore, after adapting in the first quarter, Luka Doncic did perform a lot better in the second quarter, although there is still a distance from his performance in the regular season.

However, for all the players in the Dallas Mavericks, this is really good.

51: 50!

When the halftime break came, the point difference between the two sides did not widen, and the Dallas Mavericks at home only held a one-point lead.

From the perspective of the fans, everyone is a little dissatisfied with this lead. After all, in the imagination, it should be crushed.

"Where did it come from? Crush, guys, I ask everyone to figure it out, this is the playoffs, and with Russell Westbrook feeling hot in the first two quarters of the game tonight, no matter how strong the Dallas Mavericks are." , and it is impossible to easily take a big lead.”

From Charles Barkley's point of view, he thinks this score is normal, because he has watched the entire game process of the first two quarters, and he knows what happened during this period.

In his opinion, although tonight's bayonet showed people his all-round side, and he is still very active on the offensive end, but to be honest, he feels that the offense of the entire Dallas Lone Ranger team so far tonight has not yet been played out. .

How should I put it, Luka Doncic still has problems with this point.

"Cameron, maybe you need to be at small forward in the third quarter"

During the intermission, in the Dallas Mavericks locker room, Jiang Hao took the initiative to find Cameron Anthony and express his thoughts.

For him, he didn't blame Luka Doncic at all. After all, Luka Doncic played in the playoffs for the first time in his career.

But he is very clear that when the whole game comes to the last two quarters, he really can't sit still.

In the end, Jiang Hao didn't want to lose the game when he didn't go all out on the offensive end.

"No problem, Jiang, even if you go all out on the offensive end, I will go all out."

Cameron Anthony made a promise to Jiang Hao.

Soon, the third quarter started, the Dallas Mavericks adjusted their lineup, Luka Doncic rested, Jiang Hao annoying point guard, Cameron Anthony took over Jiang Hao's position.

When he came to the court, Jiang Hao took a deep breath, and scanned the audience with bloodthirsty eyes, "I didn't exert much force in the first half, and everyone seemed to think that the bayonet was nothing more than that, so I have to tell people that the record is to use to create"

…………

After the start of the third quarter, Schroeder was in charge of defending Jiang Hao. This guy scored 15 points in the first half, which was higher than his average this season, which made Jiang Hao very upset.How can you perform supernormally in my home court?

Looking at this slightly silly guy, Jiang Hao teased with the ball on the left side: "You know what? Dude, I can easily pass you!"

Schroeder let out a cold snort of disdain: "If you have the ability, try it!"

Jiang Hao smiled, took a step into the three-point line, pretended to break through, and then suddenly took a step back and retreated to the three-point line. Schroeder was not completely fooled, he had always been extremely afraid of Jiang Hao's three-point shooting, So he didn't retreat too much. When he saw that Jiang Hao still wanted to shoot a three-pointer, he immediately rushed forward to cover it.

"Idiot, that's a fake move!" Donovan, who was standing on the sidelines, cried out a little depressed when he saw this scene.

In the next second, Jiang Hao did not choose to make a shot, but waited for the opponent to jump up and leaned his body against the opponent. The moment the referee blew the whistle, he took advantage of the situation and threw the ball. Acquired three free throws.

"Good job!"

"Damn!"

The Dallas Mavericks players and the Thunder players had completely different reactions, but they didn't seem to realize that this was just an appetizer for Jiang Hao's full firepower.

The Thunder is indeed very tenacious. Schroeder received a pass from his teammate and returned a three-pointer to Jiang Hao. This aroused Jiang Hao's fighting spirit even more. In the next attack, Jiang Hao faced Schroeder's defense again, and he was unwavering. Move the ground and accelerate directly to break through the defense, and before the double-team comes up, he has already gone straight to the basket!

The bayonet is flying again!

Facing Adams' defense, Jiang Hao was not afraid at all. He had already competed with the opponent before. With a calm face, Jiang Hao glided to the basket and staged a folding layup that he did not often use!
Seeing that Jiang Hao had already charged up, Adams didn't dare to foul. The basketball went up to the top of the backboard, then hit the board, fell slowly, and the ball scored!
The audience is boiling!This is the Jiang Hao they are familiar with, and this is the bayonet they are looking forward to!

After scoring this goal, Jiang Hao also felt very refreshed, the old offensive state was finally back, the feeling of flying into the air was simply wonderful, and next, Jiang Hao had a big gift to give to Thunder from afar !
After 1 minute, Jiang Hao held the ball at the top of the arc, but didn't move, and seemed a little hesitant.A feint, almost pointing the defensive player up again, and then, Jiang Hao did not choose to shoot.He didn’t choose to dribble, but suddenly and strangely passed the ball to Cameron Anthony on the right. Anthony received the ball and prepared to shoot a three-pointer, because Jiang Hao had already consumed a lot of offensive time just now, leaving it to the Dallas Mavericks organization There is not much time.And Anthony is also capable of three-pointers, so he came up with a surprise shot.

Looking at Anthony's posture, the Thunder thought he was going to shoot, but they didn't expect that after Jiang Hao passed the ball, he went down to ask for the ball. Anthony jumped up and passed the ball to Jiang Hao who was inserting quickly. After receiving the basketball, Hao faced the basket and flew straight up.Noel under the basket was taken aback. Jiang Hao flew up while he was still in a daze. The former subconsciously stretched out his arm to block Jiang Hao, but it was of no avail!
Hearing a domineering bang, Jiang Hao poured the ball into the basket with one hand!It also caused Noel's foul!
