Jiang Hu took off his warm-up clothes and returned to the game.

When Jiang Hu came on the court, Durant also came on the court again.

"Hey, No. 35, I finally know your name. They told me your name is KD."

Jiang Hu stood next to Durant and greeted Durant cordially, always with a mean smile on his face.

Durant clenched his fists, kept a cold face, and ignored him forcibly. After a few minutes of rest, Durant had completely calmed down at this moment.

After all, he is still a superstar who has been in the league for ten years. Even though he is a bit of a loser in life and deeds, he is not stupid...

He knows that Jiang Hu wants to make him angry, and he enjoys watching him get angry.

Adu believes: To deal with this kind of opponent, as long as you show that you are calm and cannot be angered, you can in turn anger the opponent.

Back on the offensive end, Durant no longer has that annoying face in front of him.

But facing the short and stocky Smart, Smart made Durant feel much more comfortable.

He asked for the ball continuously and had a one-on-one duel with Smart.

Jiang Hu was also happy to watch the excitement, watching Smart constantly confronting Durant. Durant tried crazy loops to get rid of Smart's hand that was stuck on him, and Smart came from time to time.

A flop, trying to make Durant sit off the court and rest.

Watching the rivalry between Durant and Smart, Jianghu even wanted to have a bucket of happy water and popcorn.

Smart seemed to be aware of Jianghu's attention and worked harder in the fight with Durant.

But if he were to know Jiang Hu’s true thoughts, he might break out and curse:

"I'm working so hard, why are you acting like a circus?"

But Jiang Hu feels that Smart may not have the courage to complain about him.

At halftime, 63 to 58, the Celtics still led by 5 points.

Jianghu scored 17 points on 6 of 10 shots in the half.

Curry made 1 of 7 three-pointers and 5 of 5 two-pointers, scoring 13 points.

Irving and Durant each scored 20 points, and they were evenly matched.

On the first goal of the second half, Thompson hit a three-pointer, and the Warriors began to take out all the weapons in their arsenal.

Green's off-ball screen, mobile pick-and-roll.

Thompson's movement, the Warriors' classical weapon elevator door, Durant's personal singles.

In just 4 minutes, the Warriors beat the Celtics 15-4, not only closing the gap but also leading by 6 points.

67 to 73, the Celtics trailed by 6 points and entered the first timeout of the second half.

"Use unlimited defense."

Stevens drew the tactics on the tactical board for a long time, but finally erased them all.

His idea is very simple, and the offensive tactics will be in vain.

If you can't hold back the Warriors' offense, you're looking for death if you try to attack with him.

Stevens made substitution adjustments, replaced Jaylen Brown and replaced Caruso, and at the same time emphasized to everyone:

"We should pay more attention to the transfer of outside balls and try to reduce the number of passes. The Warriors' oppressive defense is very deadly, and counterattack is their fatal weapon."

The reason why the Celtics were beaten by the Warriors at the beginning of the second half was because there were too many invalid passes.

"As long as we spend these few minutes, control mistakes and prevent them from counterattacking, the rest of the period will be much better."

"They can't maintain this intensity for the whole game."

"When we use unlimited defense changes, Durant's singles will be what they rely on most."

Stevens looked into Caruso's eyes and said: "Alex, by that time, I hope you will focus all your attention on the defensive end and try your best to limit KD. You are the best player in my opinion."

Someone who is suitable for guarding KD."

"Can you handle him?"

"No problem, leave it to me." Caruso patted his chest, confident.

He was also very surprised by the coach's decision to ask him to replace Jaylen Brown in guarding Durant.

Defense itself is the foundation of his life. When he is fully committed, his defensive ability is still very strong.

"Remember, on the defensive end, focus on the person, don't follow the ball. When Chai Meng gets the ball, just treat him as air. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

"Marcus, come here." After explaining the main issue, Stevens stopped Smart alone.

"What's wrong, coach?"

Smart scratched his head naively, a little puzzled.

You suddenly called me, what are you doing?

"Let me ask you, what do you do when Curry uses Green to cover at the top of the key?"

"Pinch Stephen and let Green shoot."

Stevens nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "Okay, when Durant is playing singles on the right side and Curry is picking and rolling with Green, what do you do?"

"Double-team Curry, and focus part of your attention on Durant passing the ball and Green shooting."

"Okay, what do you do when Curry and Green pick and roll under the free throw line?"

Smart thought for a moment and replied: "Go back to guard Green. This is the only place where he can threaten the basket."

Stevens patted Smart on the head with satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's right, it seems you have remembered everything. Don't mess up after playing and keep a clear mind."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

After watching for a long time, Jianghu realized that Stevens was working on Smart alone to develop his defensive abilities.

Jianghu doesn't need this, his defensive ability is more than enough to cope with the situation he faces.

Jiang Hu watched from the sidelines how Stevens led the team, and he continued to learn from him.

After all, Jianghu will be the future leader of this team, and he will be needed to do most of this kind of work in the future.

Fortunately, after getting along with each other for a period of time, Jianghu has basically understood the on-field style and personality characteristics of his teammates.

Take Rozier for example, as long as you praise him, he will be happy. When he is happy, he will score more goals even though he is in good condition.

Jaylen Brown needs encouragement. If you give him enough encouragement, he will do what he wants.

Horford just said it directly, without any beating around the bush, and he wouldn't be angry if he said it wrong.

Smart is the one on the team who is most likely to make mistakes. Every time he faces a critical game, Stevens has to explain to him alone to prevent him from taking the lead...

As for Owen???

He is quite honest now...

What should I do if I am dishonest?

Sorry, no solution at the moment!!

"Beep~" With a whistle, the timeout ends and the game continues.
Chapter completed!
