To be honest, Shaquille O'Neal is a little envious of Mark Cuban at this time. After all, not everyone has this kind of opportunity.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Dallas Mavericks began to increase their intensity on the defensive end. This is a point that Jiang Hao, as the team leader, often emphasizes in games recently.

Perhaps this has something to do with his experience with the San Antonio Spurs. He has always felt that a team that wants to win the championship must first be dominant on the defensive end.

Therefore, since the time entered 2019, he has been investing more energy on the defensive end, intentionally or unintentionally.

Everyone is not a fool. When he, the leader of the team, takes the initiative to perform his duties on the defensive end, others will naturally not dare to slack off.

Head coach Rick Carlisle is very satisfied with Jiang Hao's leadership style, which is very similar to that of Tim Duncan, but he has the impression that when Jiang Hao was with the San Antonio Spurs last season, Tim Duncan had already retired.

So, it should be Kawhi Leonard.

!

Rick Carlisle suddenly remembered that Kawhi Leonard was as good at leading the team as Tim Duncan taught by words and deeds.

Among the current Mavericks, there are many players who can defend. Just like Jiang Hao said, if we can establish a certain defensive system before the playoffs, we will turn around and become a defensive team.

Strong team.

Jiang Hao is definitely not aimless. After all, DeAndre Jordan, Trevor Ariza, Dwight Powell, Luka Doncic, including himself, all have good defensive abilities. As for other players, although they are defensive

His end-game ability is not outstanding, but it is basically not a defensive vulnerability.

The Mavericks suddenly increased their defensive intensity, which caught the Thunder off guard. Therefore, before the Thunder could fully react, under the leadership of Jiang Hao, the Mavericks quickly blasted a wave of 135 on the offensive end.

The attack is small.,

For the first time in this game, the point difference widened to more than 10 points.

It wasn't until this moment that the Thunder fully reacted, but facing the point difference that instantly widened to more than 10 points, both Westbrook and Paul George looked very unhappy.

This is actually one of the major problems of the Thunder Twins this season. They are always very slow to adapt to the changing rhythm of offense and defense.

After all, if you just want to focus on defense, the Thunder Twins are actually not weak. They also have many outstanding defensive players, whether it is Adams or Paul George, they are both top defensive players known throughout the league.

When the game was officially suspended in the second quarter, the on-site cameras were turned to Jiang Hao, because Jiang Hao had scored 5 steals so far in tonight's game.

He got 5 steals in just over one quarter of the game, which not only shows how badly the Thunder were defended just now, but also reflects Jiang Hao's defensive talent.

After entering the league for more than a year, Jiang Hao's highest steal record in a single game is 7, and so far in this game he has got 5. Does this mean that Jiang Hao has a chance to create a new one in tonight's game?

Where are the records?

I think it is very possible. Bayonet is the league's steal leader so far this season. His number of Changjun steals has reached 33. This is a very scary statistic. The game has not been half finished yet. In this case, he

He has already got 5 steals, so I believe he will complete more steals.

Charles Barkley said confidently.

What is more interesting is that Jiang Hao currently ranks first in the league's steals list this season with an average of 33 steals per game, and behind him is Thunder player Paul George who averages 27 steals per game.

Therefore, after the on-site camera stayed on Jiang Hao for a while, it turned around and came to Paul George.

But what is very embarrassing is that Paul George has not completed a steal so far tonight.

"This cannot be blamed on Paul George. We all know that he is a balanced offensive and defensive guy, but basketball is not a one-person sport. Many times, whether you play well or not, and your state, really depends on your teammates."

Shaquille O'Neal hinted at a wave.

In his opinion, as far as tonight's game is concerned, it is obvious that the Thunder have dragged down Paul George's personal data.

Shaquille O'Neal is obviously talking about Westbrook, because this guy's shooting percentage tonight is so impressive, 29%. In this case, Paul George can only lean towards the offensive end, and naturally he is a deterrent on the defensive end.

The force is much smaller.

"Dirk, if I put the basketball over your head, will you perform a dunk? It's very visual."

On the Dallas Mavericks bench, Jiang Hao was replaced to rest, and he sat directly next to Dirk Nowitzki.

Dirk Nowitzki has been one of the team's best players since January.

Dirk Nowitzki didn't play much because he hadn't fully recovered from his injury. It wasn't until recently that he completely recovered his health that he dared to play.

What I must admit is that even in the last season of his career, Dirk Nowitzki still has oil in his mailbox.

In the last five games, he averaged 19 minutes per game, but was able to score 95 points and 75 rebounds. In Jiang Hao's view, there is absolutely no problem in letting Dirk Nowitzki serve as the offensive and defensive core of the team's second lineup.

Therefore, this is one of the reasons why his assassin teased Dirk Nowitzki.

"You are questioning my jumping ability, boy, I have to tell you, the distance between me and the basket will always be much shorter than yours."

Nowitzki burst out laughing, and his remarks made the entire Mavericks bench swoon.

"Dirk Nowitzki has to keep Rick serious, to be honest, he reminds me of Tim Duncan"

Shaquille O'Neal also laughed, and everyone seemed to be reminded of the incident many years ago when Tim Duncan was ejected for sitting on the bench.

"Since it's possible, let's have a senior disco for everyone."

Jiang Hao said.

This made Dirk Nowitzki suddenly realize that Jiang Hao was not just joking with him.

"Vince Carter did this two days ago. To be honest, that guy is older than you, even though he flew into the sky and escaped when he was young."

Jiang Hao continued.

"So, what is your purpose?"

Dirk Nowitzki looked at Jiang Hao strangely. He felt that Jiang Hao was not holding anything back.

"There is no purpose. If I have to say there is one, it is that I want the whole stadium to scream."

"Okay, Jiang and Dirk, at the last minute, you two will lead the team."
Chapter completed!
