"What did you say?"
Tim Hardaway could not believe his ears. Jiang Han actually claimed that it was Jiang Han's own idea to defend him, and it was not Don Nelson's doing.
Where did this kid get such confidence from?!
After the sideline ball was sent out, Hadavy still looked for the colonel to pick and roll after receiving the ball. However, after getting serious, Little Bug still could not shake off Jiang Han's defense and was unable to safely pass the ball to the colonel.
"According to the statistics, last season, nearly 40% of Da Zuo's points came from assists.”
"But Hardaway was completely blocked. The Heat had no choice but to pass the ball to the big Zuo to complete the individual end.”
"The Mavericks also have a countermeasure. They use Gatling to lead the defense and Big Z to protect the basket.”
The Heat's efficiency wasn't very good. From the second quarter onwards, the colonel's shooting percentage plummeted.
God-Diviner's coach, pat Riley, never expected the Mavericks to completely unlock their offense with a simple defensive switch.
After halftime, the home team of the Las Vegas Mavericks scored 58:43, 15 points ahead of the opponent!
Jiang Han scored the highest 33 points in the game. He also had 6 rebounding, 4 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocked shots.
"Jiang Han's first performance in his professional career can be described as perfect!”
"I reckon that before this, even if someone predicted that Jiang Han would have an outstanding performance, they definitely didn't expect him to score 33 points in the first half!”
"Moreover, he displayed an all-rounded offensive and defensive attribute in the second quarter, which left a deep impression on people."
Tim Hardaway scored five points in the first quarter and sent out four assists.
However, from the second quarter onwards, he made 0-of-5 shots, did not have any assists, and even sent out three turnovers.
The reason for this was because Jiang Han had started to lead the defense against Hadavy from the second section!
The second half of the game had already begun.
In 1996, when three-point shots didn't have a high sense of existence and speed, a 15-point half-court deficit was a huge gap.
Therefore, in order to win, Patreili let the colonel start during the substitute rotation time. The combination of him and Marli tried to win more points in the rotation lineup.
However, the Mavericks also showed their momentum. The alien Cassel made a few slow-paced back-to-back shots, which made Marley suffer.
In the first half, he was singled out by Jiang Han, and in the second half, he faced Cassel, who was half a head taller than him.
Marley felt like crying.
With more than five minutes left in the third quarter, Jiang Han returned to the stage amidst the cheers of the fans.
They easily finished the game and pulled the gap to 22 points. The Mavericks successfully won the game!
The game continued in the fourth quarter, but the Heat lost all hope.
Looking at the point difference that could no longer be caught up, Patrick Riley shook his head helplessly and recognized the reality. Then, he waved his hand and replaced all the main lineup on the field, announcing the forfeit of the game.
Jiang Han didn't go on stage to prepare for the entire fourth quarter, and he comfortably punched out for the third quarter!
"I didn't expect the Mavericks to beat the Eastern Conference playoffs team so easily, and they enjoyed the taste of punching out for three quarters!”
Looking at the huge difference in points between the two teams and the declining performance of the Heat, the commentator smiled helplessly.""It's hard to imagine that last season's Mavericks were still a team that was hard to win.”
"And in the first game of the new season, they defeated the duo of Hardaway and Big Zuo. I really want to know why the Mavericks have completed their transformation.？”
Another commentator smiled and added,"Buddy, aren't you saying all this just to get me to brag about Jiang Han? That's right, the reason why the Mavericks have completed their transformation is because of Jiang Han!!”
"Jiang Han scored 38 points, 8 rebounding, 4 assists, and 4 steals in his debut. His defense against Tim Hardaway in the second quarter was the key to changing the game!”
"Jiang Han might be using this game to send a signal to the league that the Mavericks will rise from the ground up!”
Finally, the whistle that signaled the end of the game sounded, and both sides of the transparent backboard lit up with red light.
The score was fixed at 115:95. The New Season's 20-point victory over the Miami Heat was a good start for the Mavericks!!
Jiang Han's score of 38 8 4 4 was undoubtedly the best in the match.
Jason Kidd, Jiang Han's teammate, also had a double-double of 16 points and 12 assists. Michael Finley's hand was average, but he still scored 16 points.
Big Z, who was also familiar with me throughout his career, scored 10 points and 12 rebound points and won a double-double. The players from Europe were generally clear-headed and quickly adapted to the NBA game.
Jiang Han's statistics were off the charts for the Houston Mavericks, but he was not the only one. The other players also contributed their share of responsibility.
"Rather than saying that we lost to the Mavericks, it would be better to say that we lost to Jiang Han.”
In the post-match interview, the Heat's head coach, the god-like diviner, looked helpless.
"We have completely underestimated this young man, Jiang Han.”
PS, the third update is here. I'm still asking for everyone's flowers, evaluation tickets, and gifts!
