Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 204 [Go home]

Kenny Smith agreed with Charles Barkley's point of view. After all, unlike Kawhi Leonard's embarrassment when he left, Jiang Hao did leave San Antonio in desperation.

.........

Walking into the arena he was familiar with, the corners of Jiang Hao’s eyes were a little hazy. He said that he was not affectionate, but that was a lie. In this familiar arena, after all, it was the place where he was born, and it was also where he was first known by people. familiar stage.

At the AT&T Center, his bayonet finally came here again, but it was a little different. His identity was no longer No. 35 of the San Antonio Spurs, but No. 35 of the Dallas Mavericks.

Before the player tunnel came out, Jiang Hao felt uneasy. Although he was confident that most of the fans in this arena would not boo him, who knows exactly what will happen.

However, when he came out later, the deafening cheers from the audience told him that he was completely overwhelmed.

Under the guidance of the live DJ, all the home fans in the arena stood up and expressed warm cheers to the bayonet.

And on the large electronic screen at the scene, all kinds of highlights of Jiang Hao in this arena last season were constantly playing.

"Let's congratulate the Bayonets. Although he only played one season in San Antonio, it is as we expected. The contribution of the Bayonets to this team is unbelievable"

Jiang Hao trotted all the way to the center of the stadium, and bowed deeply to the home fans cheering enthusiastically in the stands.

For him, this is even a ritual, as he has publicly emphasized more than once before, he will always have special emotions for the San Antonio Spurs team.

.........

It is said that basketball is a team sport, but in fact, you cannot ignore the blessing effect of a superstar on a team at any time.

Just like the San Antonio Spurs this season, after losing the two superstars Jiang Hao and Kawhi Leonard one after another, the hard power of this team has been greatly weakened.

Especially after Gregg Popovich officially started this season, this team can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

This point, Jiang Hao felt the most obvious after the start of the game.

The silver-gray army that was as stable as a bell and good at playing positional warfare has completely disappeared, and has been replaced by a team that is very chaotic both offensively and defensively.

Jiang Hao knew that this team was going through various labor pains, but this huge change still surprised him a little.

Dejounte Murray ushered in an explosion this season, and his offensive and defensive performance has ushered in a new rising period, but his organizational skills still need to be improved.

Let alone Jiang Hao, even against Luka Doncic, he was very uncomfortable.

Jiang Hao knows that DeMar DeRozan is an excellent mid-range shooter, but in fact, DeRozan's shortcomings are also obvious.

In today's era of three-pointers, it is hard to imagine that DeRozan can evolve further. In other words, DeMar DeRozan is a qualified star player, but he will not become a superstar after all, otherwise, He won't be stagnant in the Toronto Raptors for many years.

Because there is a gap between the two teams in terms of hard power, and the recent state is also very different, so in fact, from the very beginning of the game, the rhythm has been firmly in the hands of the Dallas Mavericks.

At the end of the first two quarters, Bayonet set a new record. He got a triple-double in the fastest way in his career so far.

15 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds.

Facing the old club, the bayonet is still a bayonet, and there is no mercy at all. Under his leadership, the Dallas Mavericks have already achieved a 9-point lead at the end of the first half.

The previous situation of the bull and horse battle has become a one-sided situation. For the home fans, this scene is really uncomfortable.

However, they can't help it. If the bayonet is not compared to a child, and the San Antonio Spurs are compared to the person who gave birth to him, then these Spurs home fans will know it very well.

That is how much energy the bayonet has, they have seen it before.

During the intermission, Jiang Hao walked to the VIP seats on the sidelines, where he met Manu Ginobili.

Argentina's life after retiring looks good, refreshed, of course, this season he often came to the scene to watch the Spurs game.

"My brother, long time no see"

Seeing Jiang Hao coming over to greet him proactively, Ginobili didn't dare to neglect him, and immediately stood up and hugged Jiang Hao.

Back then, when Jiang Hao was in the Spurs, Manu Ginobili was one of the best Spurs players with him.

Especially for Jiang Hao, he is very grateful to Manu Ginobili, because in the process of his rise, Manu Ginobili really helped him a lot.

For example, the European step layup, under the guidance of Manu Ginobili, Jiang Hao can use this kind of affordable step as he likes.

"Life after retirement must be very comfortable"

Jiang Hao laughed. He learned through social software that Manu Ginobili often went back to travel and vacation, and he lived a very comfortable life.

"It's so cool, but for you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enjoy these for a while."

Manu Ginobili moved his fingers. Jiang Hao has only entered the league for the second season. Retirement is indeed a very distant term for him.

To Jiang Hao's embarrassment, when he walked to the locker room, he almost went to the wrong place. He was used to the home team's locker room in this arena, and it was indeed a bit uncomfortable to appear as the visiting team for the first time.

"Jiang, it looks like this team is grateful for you, honestly, it's really good"

In the locker room of the visiting team, DeAndre Jordan said to Jiang Hao.

"Haven't you already enjoyed this feeling?"

Jiang Hao gave Jordan a white look. If he remembers correctly, when he played the Los Angeles Clippers away last week, as a young Jordan who had played for the Los Angeles Clippers for a long time, didn't he also get a tribute from the Los Angeles Clippers?
"But obviously, that's different, man, you know how long I've been with the L.A. The San Antonio Spurs only played for one season, you know? A tribute like this is just unimaginable.”

Jiang Hao basically understood what Jordan meant, that is, he felt that Jiang Hao was really popular in the San Antonio Spurs, which even made him envious.
