Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 348 268 [Two real superstars]

Rick Carlisle is worthy of being an old fritter who has been in the league for many years. His eyes are very vicious, and he can see Kawhi Leonard's shortcomings at a glance.

Unlike top scorers like Kevin Durant and LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard was based on defense when he first entered the league.

In other words, Kawhi Leonard was an offensive black hole at the beginning. Even if he could score, he was a catch-and-shoot type. His offensive ability with the ball was almost non-existent.

In the past few years, although he has become versatile and his offensive ability has improved significantly, his offensive ability with the ball is after all worse. For some things, he really can only rely on talent.

"However, Jiang, Kawhi Leonard has no dead ends on the defensive end. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most defensive small forward I have ever seen. This is a big deal for you. Challenge, I know you're great, but going up against Kawhi Leonard is definitely the biggest challenge you've ever had as a pro."

Rick Carlisle knows that Jiang Hao played against Kevin Durant and LeBron James last season, and he hasn't fallen into a disadvantage yet.

But, like he said, Kawhi Leonard is different from the two of them. Kawhi Leonard, who has an excellent defense, will bring a huge test to the Bayonets' offense.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on"

Jiang Hao nodded. He agreed with Rick Carlisle's point of view, but he also knew very well that even if Kawhi Leonard's defensive ability is very strong, that would not be a reason for him not to make a move.

"Toronto Raptors have a very strong inside line, especially Marc Gasol. I think he is an all-around guy who can attack, defend, and organize support. Perhaps for Marc Gasol, The only downside is that he hasn't been better integrated into the Toronto Raptors' system until now."

Compared with the other points of the Toronto Raptors, in fact, Jiang Hao has a lot of worries about the threat posed by their inside.

He is not denying DeAndre Jordan's ability, but by watching the game video, Mark Gasol of the Toronto Raptors left a deep impression on him.

"I've also considered that, I mean, take advantage of strengths and avoid weaknesses, DeAndre Jordan may have to carry more defensive pressure and rebounding, but other than that, I think we focus on the front line offensively, that is, You and Cameron Anthony will be our offensive axis. With Cameron Anthony’s physical advantage, we can accept even a proper inclination to the inside.”

"That's all it takes"

Jiang Hao nodded. Since Rick Carlisle had already made plans, he chose to trust Rick Carlisle.

.........

"Man, I think it's going to be a real test for you, and everyone's going to be paying attention to the matchup between you and Kawhi Leonard, and there's no denying that the matchup between you and Kawhi Leonard The collision between the two of you is inevitable, and the collision between the two of you will also have a great impact on the situation of the entire series."

"I don't know if anyone gave you some advice before this. My advice is that you have to carry the whole team on your shoulders. You have to play a little bit selfishly, yes, be a little bit selfish, be confident, Why pass the ball when you can shoot to finish the offense?"

Jiang Hao received a text message from Black Mamba Kobe Bryant.

In the text message, Black Mamba gave Jiang Hao a lot of suggestions about the upcoming finals series.

I have to admit that although the Black Mamba has retired for a long time, his playing style has not changed at all.

From Black Mamba's remarks, Jiang Hao can draw a conclusion, that is, Kobe wants him to use superstar basketball to end this series.

Jiang Hao has to admit that Kobe Bryant's suggestion is reasonable, because the Toronto Raptors are also a team basketball team. If they are compared with them in team basketball, they may not really have much advantage.

And if it is unexpectedly done in the opposite direction, then maybe it can really receive a lot of miraculous effects.

Just like his Black Mamba once played against the peak San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference playoffs.

Jiang Hao didn't reply to the text message to thank Kobe, because he didn't think it was necessary. To be honest, they often communicated with each other during this period.

If you really want to be grateful, it is to get the championship trophy.

Of course, Jiang Hao and Kobe have also made an appointment and have the opportunity to train together. He hopes that Kobe can teach him more things.

.........

Two days later, the eyes of the entire nba were on the american airlines center stadium.

Because here, in another hour, the finals of this season will officially kick off.

At the American Airlines Center Gymnasium, on the field, the players of the two teams have already arrived here, and everyone is trying to do the final warm-up activities before the game.

In a true powerhouse series like this, the outcome of the first game matters.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one will have reservations about this game, and the same is obviously true of the Toronto Raptors tonight.

For the Dallas Mavericks, their excellent record in the regular season gave them a home court advantage in the Finals series, so they will not waste this home court advantage in any case.

"Wait and see, I won't say much"

When many media reporters on the sidelines tried to interview the bayonet, they immediately got a response from the bayonet.

However, his response was just a very simple sentence without substance.

Many times, when the players of both sides returned to the locker room and prepared for the final appearance ceremony, the big video screen in the arena also displayed the data of the entire playoffs of the leading stars of the two teams at this time.

刺刀：场均38.6分6.9助攻5.8篮板2.2抢断1.8盖帽1.2失误！

科怀莱昂纳德：场均32.4分6.0助攻6.8篮板2.2抢断1.9抢断1.4失误。

When everyone saw the playoff data of the two, they couldn't help but take a cold breath.

What kind of monsters are these two?

A true superstar, a true offensive and defensive player.

Among them, the bayonet's offensive ability is slightly stronger, and Kawhi Leonard's defense is better.

When everyone saw that the average turnovers of the two players were only about 1.5 per game, they shook their heads very emotionally.

People finally see what a robot is?What is a bayonet again?

"The two of them have one thing in common, that is, they have no feelings. This can be seen from their titles. Otherwise, how could they have such a low turnover per game?"

Many people are looking forward to this series more and more.
