Chapter 121: Leadership style!
Jiang Yuntao scored 14 points in a row, truly explaining what it means to be a person and a city!
In the second quarter, the Spurs responded strongly with a 14-2 wave and instantly overtook the score. After halftime, the Spurs led the Thunder by 3 points 59-56.
Jiang Yuntao scored 17 points in person, almost setting the Spurs rookie's half-time scoring record. Duncan in the repair shop was trembling! However, Jiang Yuntao's 10 steals at halftime did directly set a record, the Spurs' first player with 10 steals at halftime!
These 10 steals were 8 times because Westbrook had a double-double in the data bar, and the mistakes were 12... so scary that a player's mistakes were worth the whole team.
Westbrook sweats all over his body. He rarely sweats like this. Now he is really scared because his dribble is not as protective as Curry and Irving. His dribble is an explosive way to transport the ball by speed. The dribble is high, which hits Jiang Yuntao's thoughts. He likes to expose too many dribbles.
No matter how fast you are, can table tennis come quickly?
"Not angry at all!" Westbrook's expression wrote these seven words, and he really had no temper at all. Jiang Yuntao was not suspected of foul every time he intercepted, and he cut the ball away almost without physical contact. So Westbrook now does not doubt why Curry was intercepted by Jiang Yuntao at that time. Whoever came on the court knew that he could sweat against Jiang Yuntao.
At the beginning of the second half, Westbrook, who realized that he underestimated the enemy, began to make assists, but his teammates were in a mess in the first half. How could it be so easy to find the touch in the second half? At the beginning, there was a battle between the two sides.
The only person who can impact the Spurs is the Cavalry Company Commander Brewer who doesn't care about anything. The Rockets' former player Brewer is simply plug-and-play. After being replaced by the Thunder, it is seamless. It is unexpectedly suitable for the Thunder's playing style. Continuous running makes the Spurs' defensive system run faint.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuntao stood up and kept calling on his teammates. He rarely was so excited to guide his teammates directly on the sidelines, but because he didn't want to lose.
"Don't worry, the Spurs won even if they don't have you!" Jiang Yuntao always remembered what he said to Leonard. Since he is a Spurs, he has to carry the Spurs on his shoulders, and his teammates believe him. Even if he sits on the bench, he has to do something for his teammates.
"He is indeed suitable to be a leader." At this time, RC Buford sat together and chatted with a few scouts. Seeing Jiang Yuntao constantly shouting at his teammates' defensive position off the court, and giving full encouragement when his teammates scored goals. This is what a leader should do.
"Well, Coach Popovich should try to take him as a fixed start." Several scouts wanted to see how terrifying Jiang Yuntao would be able to play for 30 minutes.
As soon as they finished speaking, Jiang Yuntao was wearing the No. 23 jersey and continued to appear. Popovich pulled his arm and said, "Follow me Bruel, you can defend him alone!"
"Okay, leave it to me!" Jiang Yuntao subconsciously patted Popovich's suit, and couldn't wait to appear, his eyes became different.
Jiang Yuntao, who rarely uses close-fitting pressure to defend, spends a lot of energy on defense, and sticks to Brewer tightly when he comes on the court. Not to mention attack, Brewer can't even connect the ball. When he wants to get rid of it, Jiang Yuntao's pace is always faster than him. The fastest first step is not blowing, and starting up can make Brewer give up the hope of catching the ball.
"What happened to this guy? I feel that his fighting will is so strong." Messina and Uduka looked at each other on the field. Jiang Yuntao has always been a dull figure. He was not so excited after hitting the final kill, but now he is serious and hardworking, it feels like he doesn't want to be cut off just after entering the league.
"You don't know..." The chatterbox Parker appeared in time and happily told Messina's story about Jiang Yuntao and Leonard in the locker room, although the protagonist of this story was actually Parker himself.
The opposing company commander who defends the defense cannot attack. Jiang Yuntao is simply the company commander in the offense. He has too strong control over the rhythm. Brewer turned around and wanted to see if there was a pick-and-roll. As a result, Jiang Yuntao seized the opportunity and directly shot three-pointers, and the ball decisively entered the net!
"Jiang Yuntao's three-point shooting percentage has reached a terrifying 80%! How stable is this shooter!" The commentary of this game was Miller. As a top shooter, he fully knew how terrifying it was to have more than 50% of the three-point shooting percentage in the NBA. It seems that it is natural for everyone to score an open goal, but it is extremely easy to deform when attacking that intensity.
"Damn, I don't know if I don't watch it. The three-point shooting rate is 80%. It's so terrifying that this is so high in the training game." Netizens were also scared. This is the top intensity in the world. This makes Jiang Yuntao play in the CBA or Asian Championship men's basketball team. Wouldn't he have to hit almost 100% of it?
The Korean national players were trembling, Iran's Hadadi sighed to the sky, Australia... Australia is still a little confident, after all, the starters are all starting in the NBA, which is very terrifying.
Brewer was a little confused. His defense was not good at first. When Jiang Yuntao was preparing to defend himself in close proximity to the second ball, Jiang Yuntao made a quick break. Jiang Yuntao, who seemed to be dribbling easily from the outside and looked around, suddenly accelerated and directly passed Brewer. After entering the free throw line, no one looked at the defense. He easily threw and made a very good viewing experience!
Westbrook, off the court, ran to the sidelines in a hurry. Jiang Yuntao's momentum was about to win the rhythm of 40 in a single game? I feel that no one can defend him!
The commentator has ended the competition early and has begun to tell the move Jiang Yuntao just now.
The instant breakthrough is a kind of defense commonly used by Irving and Paul. It usually uses the same hands and feet to make the first breakthrough. It looks very handsome, but it is very difficult to do the actual battle. It requires "acting" a state that seems to be easy to dribble, but the center of gravity and Yu Guang are actually staring at the inside and preparing to break through. It breaks through the moment it approaches the three-point line and can steadily pass the opponent.
In that moment, few players could keep up with this center of gravity. If they wanted to keep up with it, their ankles would break!
"This goal is really the leader!" Jiang Yuntao cheered after scoring the goal. The Thunder directly called a timeout to rest. The Spurs led by 8 points!
"In the fourth quarter, keep the score difference above 10 points and win the game!" Popovich completely let go of his use of Jiang Yuntao and arranged Jiang Yuntao on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Westbrook tied with 1 of 7 three-pointers, and he felt autistic when he shot. Such a Westbrook could not lead the team to victory.
Jiang Yuntao made a breakthrough in his health-preserving style and played so hard that he could not find the inside monster Adams, and he scored points at the basket many times.
"GG!" In the last 3 minutes, Donovan hung up the white flag and replaced Westbrook, George and others. George ended without sweating much...
"I'll guard against ginger!" George raised his hand.
"No need!" The head coach shook his head.
"Why?" Anthony was also surprised. He was 17 points behind the score. He could try it out, mainly because he didn't feel good about it.
"Jiang is about to break 40 points!! I don't want us to be the background board!"
