Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 113 114 [About the Alliance's new No.1]

"I think people have always underestimated Jiang's talent. Old man, you should be very clear. I recommended Steve Nash's game video to Jiang not long ago, but now, you have also seen it. In a short period of time, he has borrowed it in a good way, I mean, this kid's talent is definitely at the historical level."

Gregg Popovich rarely raves about a player's talent, but right now, he can't contain his shock that Jiang Hao is the most talented player he's ever seen.

"So, Greg, if you had to choose between Tim Duncan and Jiang, your principle would be"

England looked at Popovich maliciously, because he asked a more interesting question, and he was actually very eager to know Popovich's answer.

"Damn, this is an extremely tricky topic. It's hard to imagine that one day I will question Tim's talent, but I still have to follow my heart. If I have to choose, I will choose Jiang." Popovich shook his head .

This is really not an easy choice to make. As we all know, when Tim Duncan first entered the league, he was wearing the halo of the Wake Forest Flying Devil. Just imagine, how could a young man who made the whole NBA crazy not possess What about top talent?

And everything that happened later also proved that everyone's judgment, including the cardinal, was correct.

And now, Jiang Hao, a young man who was almost abandoned in the draft, his background seems to be very different from Tim Duncan.

But heroes often rise among the common people.

You have to admit that in terms of legend alone, Jiang is even more in line with the personality than Tim Duncan.

And compared to Tim Duncan back then, Jiang Hao's ability on the court is obviously more eye-catching today.

Therefore, if he is allowed to choose, he must choose Jiang Hao.

"Old man, I am actually surprised that you would make such a choice, but I have to admit that I have to think the same as you, and in my opinion, whether Jiang will continue to play in San Antonio or not, But he had an even better career than Tim Duncan."

Englander is a rigorous person, so under normal circumstances, even Popovich would find it difficult to get some approving comments from him, but today, at this moment, this guy can do such a thing to Jiang Hao It's a surprise to judge.

"You don't have to look at me like that at all. You know, during the period when Jiang started playing in the NBA, I was the member of the coaching staff who had the most contact with him, so I also knew him the deepest."

.........

After sending out 7 assists in the first quarter, Jiang Hao spent the first half of the game on the bench after the start of the second quarter.

And when he returned to the game in the second quarter, it was actually when the team needed him.

Because LeBron James once again turned on the full-power Zhan mode in advance, under his leadership, the Cavaliers will bite the point difference to death during this time, and are even trying to make a comeback.

Faced with this situation, Kawhi Leonard has already fired all the firepower on the offensive end, but he still needs support.

So, with a big wave of Popovich's hand, Jiang Hao went into battle again.

I have to admit that from the point of view of the Cavaliers, Jiang Hao is now more threatening than Leonard.

Therefore, when Jiang Hao returned to the court, they had to disperse their energy on the offensive end, and had to pour defensive power on Jiang Hao.

But Jiang Hao has already experienced this trick in the first two games of the series.

Therefore, his coping method is also simple and rude, that is to force the score.

Today, Jiang Hao has a lot of weapons on the offensive end. When he wants to score, at least the Cavaliers' defensive players can't do anything about him.

Therefore, after only a few rounds, after a wave of 8:2, the Spurs stabilized the situation again.

And Jiang Hao once again won the recognition of many people with his wonderful performance.

In fact, Jiang Hao has a strong presence on the data board in this game.

When the first half of the game was over, he had already scored a double-double of 13 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds.

In the eyes of many people, Jiang Hao is likely to create a new record in this game, that is, he will become the first player in the history of the Spurs to score a triple-double on the stage of the finals.

Absolute record harvester!

Many people expressed such emotion!

Jiang Hao in this playoffs is like this, he kept racing all the way, creating new historical records all the way.

After getting the highest scoring record in a single playoff game in the last game, he will set a new record with a high probability in this game.

"I don't want to talk about feeling sorry for LeBron James now. In fact, what I want to talk about is that this may really be a change of old and new."

"I respect LeBron James [-]%, but none of us can ignore his age, as I have said more than once, for superstars, the biggest enemy is age"

"As of this season, LeBron James has really come to the tail end of his career and he has to accept that, and all of us have to accept that as well."

"And let's look at China Jiang in turn. His rise this season is simply appalling. He has played in the playoffs this season. In fact, he is the strongest rookie in history."

"So two, I mean, this is a change of old and new. After LeBron James surrendered the No. 1 throne in the league, many people may madly attack this throne, but in all fairness, this person should not Is it the China River?"

"Or, in this case, who can ignore the existence of China Jiang?"

In the TNT live broadcast room, Charles Barkley's remarks shocked thousands of miles. He even directly raised the topic of the alternation of old and new in this series.

Although judging from the meaning of the four words "alteration of old and new", this is actually a commonplace topic in the NBA.

Because whether it is the post-Jordan era, or the post-Kobe era, or even now, people have been discussing this topic.

But Charles Barkley is the only public figure to have raised the topic in a more formal setting and in a more formal tone.

Regarding LeBron James getting old, it has been mentioned in the past two seasons, but frankly speaking, there has been endless disputes over who can become the new ruler of the league in the post-James era.

Kevin Durant?Stephen Curry?James Harden?Kawhi Leonard?Or Antetokounmpo or Embiid?
But at this moment, Charles Barkley gave his choice!Spurs No. 35, a 21-year-old first-year rookie!
