Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 13 13 [This is a winning streak]

Jiang Hao rubbed his calves that were being iced. The NBA is really not something that ordinary people can survive. Even in the regular season, the physical confrontation is too intense.

Don't look at the NBA players who are alive and well, dazzling in front of the media and the public, but in fact, if they haven't suffered a few injuries on their bodies, I'm really embarrassed to say that I play in the NBA.

Especially for those star players, they have always been the focus of the opponent's attention during the game. It is a common thing to be kicked here and dragged there.

Take the "No. 1" LeBron James as an example. Many people say that James' physical fitness is at a historical level, and he has not suffered serious injuries in his career for many years. He can be called an iron wall.

But actually?
Last year, James revealed his physical condition on a reality show. Facing the camera, James bluntly said that his body has been scarred after so many years of career.

It can be seen that no matter how big or small, injuries are always the natural enemy of professional players.

In this regard, perhaps Jiang Hao has to feel lucky. Although he is of yellow race and from China, his physical fitness is very good, which is why he can have a certain foundation on the defensive end.

.........

Brooks adjusted the team's offensive strategy in the second half, and he gave Otto Porter great offensive autonomy.

But the results are minimal.

Now it seems that the Washington Wizards are going to officially take the title of "taken for granted". Otto Porter handed over a very impressive data sheet last season. Matching the Nets' offer, the 1.06 million maximum salary contract is no joke. It directly locked the team's salary space, making it impossible for the team to reinforce.

Before the start of the new season, many people were saying that if the Wizards in the new season want to go further, they may even attack the championship.

Then Otto Porter must play more brilliantly than last season, playing the style of the league's top striker, and the Wizards also place great expectations on Porter.

But what about the results?

Porter, who got a big contract, was completely lost, averaging 8.9 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, which is more like a substitute player.

The Wizards are currently ranked third in the East, but to be honest, it really doesn't have much to do with Porter.

Head coach Scott Brooks should be the most uncomfortable person, but he advocated keeping Porter at the beginning.

Therefore, regardless of whether it is because of hatred or the situation, in the last few games, Brooks has always intentionally given Porter more opportunities, hoping that he can perform brilliantly, and this game is also the same. Trailing the Spurs by 10 points in the first half, Brooks hoped Porter could use his ability from beyond the arc to help the team chase points quickly.

Porter was the player with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the Wizards last season. As long as he is given a chance, he has a good chance to make the ball, Brooks thinks so.

But Porter didn't do that. This guy seemed to be possessed by his teammate Wall. He wasted several good open opportunities in a row. The 3-pointer came directly to a 4-0 shot. middle.

Scott Brooks looked gloomy like a frost-hit eggplant, pacing back and forth on the sidelines angrily.

Fortunately, Bradley Beal was brave after knowing his shame, but he strongly supported the team's offense.

But that's all.

At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs still had a 9-point lead.

Jiang Hao played for more than 3 minutes in the third quarter. However, he did not score any more points. On the one hand, the Wizards strengthened his marking. On the other hand, Popovich hoped that he could put more energy on the defensive end. .

"That kid finally misfired." During the intermission, Bill looked at Jiang Hao with some pride. He scored 10 points in the third quarter, while Jiang Hao didn't score 1 point.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, John Wall suddenly went crazy, made consecutive breakthrough layups, and caused Aldridge to shoot fouls, showing his strength as the No. [-] pick extremely strongly.

In fact, this is the first time in this game that Wall has played with this extremely lethal rhythm of breakthrough layups.

As early as the draft, Wall's template for the draft was Derrick Rose. His style of play was extremely explosive. Although it was extremely lethal to the opponent's basket, it was also very exhausting to the body.

In recent seasons, after seeing Rose's end and his own injuries, Wall has actually gradually reduced this style of play.

However, in order to win tonight, in order to continue the home winning streak, he had to take a risk.

7 points.

After scoring 7 points in a row, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the risk was worth it.

Popovich didn't blame the players, because he knew very well that unless the peak Tim Duncan came back, the Spurs' basket would only let people stand out. Making more contributions is not what he is good at in itself, not to mention that in the absence of Leonard, Aldridge has to focus on the offensive end.

"Jiang, you go up"

Popovich glanced at Jiang Hao. He felt that at this moment, he could only do so. He hoped that this Chinese kid could surprise him again.

Otto Porter has not only lost himself on the offensive end this season, but also on the defensive end, so Jiang Hao really found a chance after playing.

In the face of Otto Porter, Jiang Hao hit shots in several consecutive attacks.

"Defense, what are you doing?"

Scott Brooks cursed angrily, but Porter seemed to ignore it, and his attention seemed to still be on the graceful Mexican girl last night.

"shit"

Scott Brooks finally had enough and just replaced Porter.

But it was too late.

Jiang Hao's few shots not only helped the Spurs regain stability, but also led the team to a small climax on the offensive end.

Even if John Wall hit a three-pointer from the outside for the first time, it can't stop the fact that they lost at home tonight.

22 points!
Jiang Hao seemed to be the main contributor to the team's victory once again.

Two days later, the Toronto Raptors were at home. After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the Spurs in the away game unexpectedly defeated the Eastern Conference leader Raptors.

The result of this game was really beyond the expectations of too many people. Although the "Trash Brothers" did not perform well in the playoffs, no one dared to underestimate their level in the regular season. Ushered in a complete rout.

But I didn't expect that from the beginning of this game, the Spurs would directly turn away from the guest, and they beat the Raptors 38:20 in the first quarter!The following plot is very simple. The Spurs always control the rhythm of the game and never give the Raptors a chance to reverse.

"That's three consecutive victories?"

For many Spurs fans, this is not true.
