126 [Going Home]
Kenny Smith agreed with Charles Barkley's point of view. After all, unlike Kawhi Leonard's bitterness when he left, Jiang Hao indeed left San Antonio in desperation.
Walking into the familiar arena, the corners of Jiang Hao's eyes were a little hazy. It was a lie to say that he didn't touch the depth of the scene. In this familiar arena, after all, it was the place where he was born, and where he began to be known by people.
The stage of getting to know each other.
&p;Center, his bayonet finally came here again, but his identity has changed slightly. His identity is no longer the San Antonio Spurs No. 35, but the Dallas Mavericks No. 35.
Before entering the tunnel, Jiang Hao felt uneasy. Although he was confident that most fans in the stadium would not boo him, who knew what would happen specifically.
However, when he came on the stage later, the deafening cheers from the audience told him that he was completely over-worrying.
Under the guidance of the scene, all the home fans in the arena stood up and expressed warm cheers to Bayonet.
On the large electronic screen at the scene, various highlights of Jiang Hao's performance in this arena last season were constantly being played.
"Let us congratulate Bayonet. Although he only played for the San Antonio Spurs for one season, it was just as we expected. Bayonet's contribution to this team is incredible."
Jiang Hao jogged all the way to the center of the stadium and bowed deeply to the home fans cheering enthusiastically in the stands.
For him, this is even a ritual. As he has publicly emphasized more than once before, he will always have special emotions for the San Antonio Spurs.
It is said that basketball is a team sport, but in fact, you cannot ignore the blessing effect of a superstar on a team at any time.
Just like the San Antonio Spurs this season, after losing two superstars, Jiang Hao and Kawhi Leonard, the team's hard power has been greatly weakened.
Especially after Gregovich officially started this season, it can be said that this team has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Jiang Hao felt this most clearly after the game started.
The silver-grey team that was once as steady as a bell and good at positional warfare has completely disappeared, and has been replaced by a team that is in chaos both offensively and defensively.
Jiang Hao knew that this team was going through various pains, but this huge change still surprised him.
Dejounte Murray has exploded this season, and his performance on both offense and defense has ushered in a new period of improvement, but his organizational skills still need to be improved.
Not to mention facing Jiang Hao, even facing Luka Doncic, he played very uncomfortable.
Jiang Hao knows that DeMar DeRozan is an excellent mid-range player, but in fact, DeRozan's shortcomings are also obvious.
In today's era of three-pointers, it is difficult to imagine that DeRozan can further evolve. Again, DeMar DeRozan is a qualified star player, but he will not become a superstar after all. Otherwise,
Nor would he have been stagnant with the Toronto Raptors for years.
Because there is a gap between the two teams in terms of physical strength and their recent status is also very different, in fact from the beginning of the game, the rhythm was firmly in the hands of the Dallas Mavericks.
At the end of the first two quarters, Bayonet set a new record. He achieved a triple-double in the fastest way in his career so far.
15 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds.
Facing his old club, the bayonet was still the bayonet and showed no mercy. Under his leadership, the Dallas Mavericks had already taken a 9-point lead at the end of the first half.
What was once a battle between cows and horses has become a one-sided situation. For the home fans, this scene is really uncomfortable.
However, there is nothing they can do. If the bayonet is not compared to a child and the San Antonio Spurs are compared to the people who gave birth to him, then these Spurs home fans will know it very well.
That's how powerful the bayonet is, they have seen it before.
During the halftime break, Jiang Hao walked to the VIP seats on the sidelines, where he met Manu Ginobili.
Argentina's life after retirement seems to be good and refreshing. Of course, he will often come to watch Spurs games this season.
"My brother, long time no see"
Seeing Jiang Hao come over and take the initiative to greet him, Ginobili did not dare to be negligent at all, and immediately stood up and hugged Jiang Hao.
I think back when Jiang Hao was in the Spurs, Manu Ginobili was one of his best Spurs players.
Especially for Jiang Hao, he is very grateful to Manu Ginobili in his heart, because Manu Ginobili really helped him a lot during his rise.
For example, the European step layup, under the guidance of Manu Ginobili, Jiang Hao was able to use this very affordable step as he pleased.
"Life after retirement must be very comfortable."
Jiang Hao laughed. He had learned through social software that Manu Ginobili often went back to travel and take vacations, and he lived a very comfortable life.
"It's so cool, but for you, I'm afraid it's hard to enjoy it all at once."
Manu Ginobili moved his fingers. Jiang Hao is only in his second season in this league. Retirement is indeed a very distant term for him.
What made Jiang Hao a little embarrassed was that when he walked to the locker room, he almost went to the wrong place. He was used to the home team's locker room in this arena, and it was indeed a bit uncomfortable to appear as a visiting team for the first time.
"Jiang, it seems that this team is very grateful to you. To be honest, this is really great."
In the visiting team's locker room, DeAndre Jordan said to Jiang Hao.
"Don't you already enjoy this feeling?"
Jiang Hao rolled his eyes at DeAndre Jordan. If he remembered correctly, when they played the Los Angeles Clippers in an away game last week, didn't DeAndre Jordan, who had played for the Los Angeles Clippers for a long time, also receive a tribute from the Los Angeles Clippers?
"But obviously, that's different. Man, you have to know how long I have played for the Los Angeles Clippers. For me, I am a real old man in the Los Angeles Clippers, but you are different. You are here.
The San Antonio Spurs only played for one season, you know? To pay such a grand tribute like just now, it's just unimaginable."
