Chapter 203 Boiled Frogs in Warm Water
Although **Vic allowed Parker to have some fantasy ideas on the court and the right to play freely on the court, it does not mean that he can tolerate Parker's brainless shooting.
Parker's shot just now was obviously a striking element.
**Wich himself repeatedly warned Parker to strictly guard against Jiang Jun and not to treat the other party as a simple rookie.
Because of the Bobcats' six consecutive victories, he attracted the attention of the top. After watching several game videos of the Bobcats, he found that Chinese rookie Jiang Jun actually played a decisive role in it, and he was the team's scoring and assisting king. Other personnel in the coaching staff maintained the same view as **Vic.
So, **Vic knew that this young man was definitely a not-so-simple rookie. The one who jumped and passed just now also showed his super ability to stagnate the air.
But when Parker failed to pick-and-roll, he chose to shoot forcibly, which annoyed **Vic. Don't you know how to give Manu to the outside? The Argentinian has a way to send the ball into the basket.
The result of this stupid choice is that Jiang Jun is blocked by the shot and then a fast break dunk. It fully demonstrates Jiang Jun's amazing bounce, accurate judgment and outstanding speed.
"Pass! Pay attention to passing!"
**Vicy shouted loudly, and waved his hands and made gestures to make Parker pay attention to passing the ball and not take action.
To be honest, except Duncan, every player is afraid of **Vic's roar.
Parker had no choice but to give up his plan to regain his face as a single Jiang Jun.
Parker slowly moved the ball. This time Duncan was in the inside position, but Jiang Jun shook slightly and stared at Parker's shoulders with concentration, like a beast about to attack. Parker felt something was wrong and did not dare to pass the ball to the inside casually, so he had to pour the ball to Ginobili on the outside.
Under the cover of Blair who was lifted up, Ginobili accelerated slightly, got rid of Jackson's defense, broke into the inside line, and then made a snake layup.
He was seen straiting into the basket. Since Ginobili was left-handed, Diop, who was resting on defense, was still a little uncomfortable. Although the defense was in place, he still watched the Argentinian shoot the ball in.
The Spurs rewrite the score to 4-5.
Jiang Jun regretted it a little. When defending Parker just now, he was too focused, which led to Parker's timely avoiding dangers. The main reason is that he believes that these Spurs players are disciplined and have very rich experience, so he attaches more importance to them.
In fact, Jiang Jun doesn't want to use his whole body skills, he just wants to rely on the strength and quality of his body. Otherwise, his internal strength will be everywhere, moving like a rabbit and quiet like a virgin, and he will hide it so that Parker can't feel any danger, and then wait for an opportunity to steal when he passes the ball.
Jiang Jun’s idea can be summarized in one word, which is “boiling a frog in warm water”.
In other words, I hope that I will not act too evil for the time being, but will proceed step by step to allow the balls to gradually accept it. In this process, if necessary, I can slowly increase my internal strength and gradually improve my dominance on the court.
When everyone is accustomed to their various magical manifestations, they will reach the state of "boiling a frog in warm water".
When scientists threw the frog into boiling water, the frog immediately jumped out of the boiling water because it could not stand the high temperature that had burst into it and successfully escaped. When the researchers put the frog in a container with cold water first and then heated it up, the result was different. The frog was leisurely and contented in the water because of the comfort of the water temperature at the beginning. When the frog found that it could not tolerate the high temperature, it was already full of energy but was insufficient, and was unknowingly boiled to death in hot water. "Boiling the frog in warm water" revealed the principle of quantitative change to qualitative change, which was explained by the adaptation and habit of gradual change.
Although the connotation is different, Jiang Jun thinks it makes sense to quote this time. He hopes that the audience will slowly accept his special features so that they will not immediately cause an uproar because of their defiant performance.
This is also the purpose and principle of his games. Of course, under such psychological hints, Jiang Jun could not achieve the magic of riding alone to save the master, and some games were still passive at the beginning.
However, even if Jiang Jun did not do his best, his performance was still surprising. Of course, this shock is still within the scope of cognition that everyone can accept.
Jiang Jun took Thomas's bottom line serve, shook his head gently, put some ideas aside, and focused on the game.
Slowly dribbling to the frontcourt, Jiang Jun looked at his team's configuration and felt that it was really hard to play.
Especially in the inside, Duncan defends Thomas. As Duncan, who is known as the number one power forward in history, is naturally worthy. Thomas is almost impossible for a single against Duncan.
Although Blair is young, he is indeed strong and quick to react. Diop has no offensive ability, so he is not reliable.
Like these two inside players, they can only score points by breaking through by themselves, attracting defense and passing the ball quickly.
The pressure on the two outside teammates is not small. Jackson's defense against Ginobili is far greater than that of offense. Although Bardinger's performance has declined in recent years and is called high scores and low energy, he is an All-Star player after all, and his skills are still there and he is not comparable to a second-year rookie Bardinger.
It can be said that these two teammates should also focus on shooting open positions.
In this way, Jiang Jun, as the organizational guard, will have great responsibilities and pressure on his shoulders. He must rely on his own running and organization to create shooting opportunities for other teammates and drive the entire team's offense.
Jiang Jun did not feel much pressure on this. He had sufficient confidence and had no choice but to do so.
Outside the three-point line, Jiang Jun shook to the right, Parker's defense level was average, and his attention immediately reached the right.
Seeing Parker's defense center of gravity deviated, Jiang Jun immediately got hips. He dribbled down and turned his left hand. He accelerated and broke through Parker, and then broke through to the near three-second zone.
Blair gave up Diop and rushed to defend Jiang Jun.
Jiang Jun passed the ball with a hit, and the ball rebounded accurately into Diop's hand. Diop held the ball with both hands and dunked.
At this moment, Duncan on the other side stepped over, stretched out his arms, and his big hand hit the ball, and the ball rolled down.
What a Duncan, he actually made a first shot, destroying this sure-fire dunk!
This is a clean block, and the referee did not call a foul.
Diop was so confused that he was covered.
The ball players had nothing to say, and they felt a deep sense of powerlessness about such a superstar who was destined to enter the Hall of Fame. Even the little emperor James met the Spurs in the finals, and it was not surprising that the Bobcats lost to Duncan.
The commentators also praised Duncan's judgment and explosiveness, not like a 34-year-old veteran.
"Bang!"
Unexpectedly, just as everyone was stunned, a few figures flashed under the basket. In a daze, the ball was dunked in!
Thomas was the dunk and Jiang Jun passed the ball.
It turned out that just when Duncan blocked Diop, Jiang Jun quickly cut in, grabbed the ball that was blown down in time, and then quickly made a layup next to Diop.
After Duncan found out, he jumped again and rushed over to block Jiang Jun.
In the flash, Jiang Jun's basketball changed slightly, changed direction, and came to Thomas's hands.
At this time, Duncan had no choice. Thomas was just a jumper, but now he caught the opportunity and jumped high and made a dunk!
7 to 4!
Thomas jumped down and screamed and jumped in front of Jiang Jun. Jiang Jun knew these habits of American old men, so he jumped into the air and collided with Thomas.
The home court was very sad and happy. The frustration of Duncan's block was wiped out. The audience immediately stood up and applauded and cheered.
On the TV screen, there was a big scene of the balls cheering, then the scene of Jordan clenching his fists behind the bench of the substitute player, and then the scene of Old Brown nodding secretly.
Jiang Jun was also very excited because such a ball was the most motivating.
Grabing a frontcourt rebound is a huge blow to the opponent's players, but it is the most exciting for oneself.
Jiang Jun also gradually transitioned to a team leader in the face of such powerful offense and defense, with tacit cooperation with his teammates.
Mark Jackson praised: "It's so full of energy! It's really amazing to have such cooperation in front of the powerful Spurs and in front of the great Duncan."
Van Gundy sighed: "There is no doubt that this young man is carrying the Bobcats on his shoulders. To put it in the saying, only the sky is his limit."
Even Brynn had to admit: "People always want to see the good show of defeating the strong with the weak. Well, if this continues, I will become the Chinese ginger ball."
Under such circumstances, the Bobcats were in a state of great momentum, but the Spurs missed repeatedly in the next few rounds, which seemed a bit slow to warm up. After 8 minutes of the game, the Bobcats led 20-14.
At this time, both sides replaced substitute players. After Yao Ming of the Bobcats came on the court, he added strong attacks in the inside, making the Spurs more passive.
With 9 minutes and 18 seconds left in the second quarter, the Spurs were 10 points behind 21-31. Then, both sides entered the player rotation again. Jiang Jun did not leave the court until this time.
The Spurs' substitutes showed their power, Gary Neal and James Anderson made three-pointers one after another, and the Spurs began to counterattack.
With 5 minutes left in the second quarter, Jiang Jun came on the court again, and both sides had their own gains.
At the end of the half, the Spurs finally tied the score to 44-48.
Jiang Jun scored 14 points and 9 assists in the first half, which was a pretty double-double.
