The game had already begun. The center players of both teams had defeated both sides of the center line.
The moment the referee threw the basketball up, it signified the official start of the game.
Soon, Cody Zeller relied on his size to get the first offensive ball.
Kemba Walker, who had just gotten the basketball, quickly took his hot wheels. After half the court, he shook off Calderón and went directly to the basket to complete a layup.
“WOW!
The crowd cheered. This was Kemba Walker's signature score.
Walker's speed was already very fast, and he had a strong ability to combine the player with the ball. Against an old defender like Calderón, who moved slowly, scoring was as easy as taking out a bag.
"No one in the Knicks can restrain Kemba!”
Mike Brin smiled and said.
If Calderón kept defending against Kemba Walker, Walker would probably break his career scoring record.
"Sou!"
However, just as the commentator finished speaking, the Knicks quickly launched an attack.
"Bang!"
Jiang Shou suddenly started, got rid of Gerrard Anderson's defense, and received the ball one meter away from the outside.
Stepping on the three-point line to defend, Gerrard Anderson felt that it was a safe distance and did not continue forward, but it undoubtedly gave Jiang Shou a huge shot space.
He didn't even make any adjustments to his shot as he quickly threw the ball into the air.
The trajectory was straight and the arc was still the same.
"Swoosh!"
It was still that familiar melody!
Jiang Shou scored a three-pointer in the opening game and scored a blood for the team.
a 3 - 2
"Ah…"
"Oh my god! This newcomer from China had already hit 17 three-pointers in a row!”
"The record of consecutive three-pointers by Jonathan Johnson continues. Every three-pointer he scores is a new record!”
Jiang Shou's performance could no longer be described as a sharpshooter. He was simply a shooting machine.
What could maintain a 100% shooting rate?
It was Jiang Shou!
Coach Steve Cliff frowned off the field and gestured for Gerrard Henderson to be more active in defense.
It was the Charlotte Hornets 'turn to change the ball.
The core of the team, Kemba Walker, and the power forward, El Jefferson, carried out a pick-and-roll cooperation. With a cover, Walker easily broke through Calderón's defense.
"Swoosh!"
Before the free-throw line, a high-throw shot hit.
"Kemba's scoring was as easy as drinking cold water!”
"Calderón's old legs are nothing in front of Kemba Walker!”
"He's almost becoming an ATM. Kemba Walker won't let go of a chance to hit him!”
ESPM even felt that the matchup between Kemba Walker and Calderon was a little cruel.
The two of them were like a motorcycle rider and a bicycle rider competing in speed.
They were on completely different levels.
"Swoosh!"
However, just as the commentators were laughing and chatting, the sound of a shot was heard again.
Everyone was stunned!
It was Jiang Shou again!
This time, it was the Knicks 'triangle tactic that worked. Melo's low post solo attracted the outside line, and the defense of Johnson got a chance.
Jiang Shou naturally wouldn't waste the opportunity.
Amidst the uproar, there were some cheers for Jiang Shou.
Michael Jordan was also trembling. If this wasn't his home game, he would have stood up and cheered for Johnson.
"This young general of the Celestial Empire didn't disappoint me…"
The Charlotte Hornets had a poor record this season and had fallen out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference.
They had a big hole in their lineup and lacked a shooter like Jiang Shou.
Jordan had already confirmed that Jiang Shou was the point guard he wanted!
However, as soon as his eyes heated up, he keenly sensed the hostility from the scouts of various teams from all directions.
Obviously, he was not the only one who wanted Jiang Shou.
This path was not that simple…
"Idiot…what are you doing?”
Gerrard Anderson graduated from Duke University, a prestigious university. He was not talented enough on the offensive end, but he was once a top defender.
As for why he said he had, it was because he had been plagued by injuries in recent years. Springman's knees generally could not be preserved for too long. His career was also very short, coming and going in a hurry for no more than eight years.
Now, he was no longer the top perimeter defender, let alone the top shooter, Jiang Shou.
Anderson was already showing signs of being unable to defend against Johnson.
The game continued. After three and a half minutes of the first quarter, the game ushered in its first official pause.
The current score was 12:12.
Kemba Walker made four of his four shots on the layup and scored eight of his 12 points.
As for Jiang Shou, he hit three three-pointers with a 100% accuracy and scored nine points.
"Time out, come back. Kemba, you go and defend against Jiang Shou!”
During the break, Steve Clipford changed his defensive strategy and sent the faster Kemba Walker to face off against Johnson to limit his shots.
"No problem."
Walker did not underestimate his opponent like the other players. Instead, he paid great attention to Jiang Shou and nodded heavily.
On the other side of the court, the Knicks 'bench was equally nervous.
"I can't restrain Kemba."
In front of absolute talent, Calderón lowered his head.
He expressed his deep apologies for his negligence on the defensive end.
"He's very talented. It's not your fault.”
Coach Fisher comforted him.
Walker was one of the top point guards in the Eastern Conference. He was known for his speed. Not to mention Calderon, there were not many people in the NBA who could match Walker's speed.
"Let me do it!"
Just as the team was in a dilemma, Jiang Shou suddenly opened his mouth.
