Jiang Jun was so good in the playoffs, which made those experts who dismissed Jiang Jun shut up.
Throughout the regular season, Jiang Jun's performance was as stable as ever, and he was highly praised by the vast majority of fans and critics. But there are also people who often criticize Jiang Jun due to various psychological reasons.
Their biggest reason is that Jiang Jun has not experienced the test of the playoffs.
In their eyes, the playoffs are the real game, and the results of the regular season are just clouds in the playoffs.
??And Jiang Jun performed amazingly in the first playoff game of his career, and it seems that there is still potential to be tapped.
If Jiang Jun hadn¡¯t devoted himself to defense and assists in the last few minutes to preserve the victory, he would probably have even more terrible data.
What makes the opponent even more desperate is that he only missed one shot in the final stage, and all the previous dozen shots were successful.
So the day after the game, the world's major media almost showed a one-sided situation.
¡°An epoch-making superstar is rising!¡±
¡°The Lynx leader beat up the Pacers!¡±
"The Chinese wonder boy is wreaking havoc on the NBA!"

Every major media reported on Jiang Jun¡¯s heroic performance with non-startling headlines.
Jiang Jun and his teammates are using the rare rest time to hone their tactics and prepare for the second game of the playoffs tomorrow.
"They should work hard in the second game, because if they lose two consecutive away games, their chances of advancement will be small." Old Brown earnestly gave his disciples vaccinations.
However, considering the last few games of the regular season, the team has been going all out for a winning streak. As a result, it lacked physical fitness in the first game and fell behind most of the time. Old Brown simply ran away in this training. Running tactics.
Old Brown is already very familiar with this model of the playoffs, and he has also studied the Pacers very thoroughly. He firmly believes that as long as his team performs normally, it will not be a problem to win two consecutive home games.
Because in the first game of the Bobcats, apart from Jiang Jun, Jackson scored 17 points and Yao Ming scored 16 points. Everyone else's offense still has certain potential to be tapped.
There are four games today, three of which are in the Western Conference.
What is surprising is that the Spurs, who have the best record in the Western Conference, actually lost to the Memphis Grizzlies, who are eighth in the Western Conference, which shocked fans.

Ginobili missed the game due to injury, and Tony Parker scored 20 points and 5 assists. Matt Bonner hit two three-pointers at the last moment and scored 12 points.
In the last game of the regular season, the Grizzlies rested many main players and deliberately lost to the Clippers, ranking eighth. This also meant that they chose to play the Spurs in the first round, avoiding the Lakers or Mavericks.
At the post-game press conference, Duncan had some opinions on this, "The Grizzlies played well against us in the last two games in the regular season. They felt they had an advantage against us, so they chose us, and they got their wish. , then let¡¯s wait and see.¡±
Grizzlies coach Hollins doesn¡¯t want to irritate the Spurs. No matter what, this is a veteran opponent. He denied "choice to say", "My thoughts have nothing to do with the Spurs at all. We just want to stay healthy, no matter who the opponent is in the playoffs."
In the first half of the game, the Grizzlies proved that their choice was correct, and they played inextricably with the Spurs. The two teams were tied many times in the first quarter. With seconds left in this quarter, the Grizzlies launched their final attack. Mayo hit a big three-pointer at the buzzer, giving the Grizzlies a 27-22 lead.
Duncan scored 8 points on 4 of 4 shots in the first quarter. He missed his first shot with 5 minutes and 30 seconds left in the second quarter. The Grizzlies took the opportunity to attack. Conley hit a three-pointer and Randolph succeeded at the basket. After a 9-0 run, the Grizzlies led 40-34. The Spurs failed to make a shot in the past 5 minutes, and Duncan's dunk opened the game with 1 minute and 59 seconds left in this quarter. At halftime, the Spurs trailed 43-45.

The Spurs only succeeded in Hill's mid-range shot at 3 minutes and 15 seconds before the end, and the previous time they made a shot was with 8 minutes and 40 seconds left in this quarter.

The Grizzlies could have maintained the lead, but missed four consecutive free throws within 40 seconds, giving the Spurs a chance to go beyond.

The Hornets were plagued by injuries and forward David West was absent, but they still played very tenaciously. Chris Paul contributed 33 points, 14 assists and 7 rebounds, and Carl Landry scored 17 points.
Even if the Lakers are not the defending champion, even if they are not a wealthy team, the Hornets have no confidence at all when facing such a team. Gasol and Bynum dominate the interior and have an absolute advantage in height, while the Hornets are at a disadvantage even if West is in the interior. The Hornets lost to the Lakers in all four meetings during the regular season.
On paper, the Hornets are at an absolute disadvantage inside, but on the court, they don't think so. From the first second, the Hornets always hold their heads high. Landry took the lead in drawing a draw under the basket, and the Hornets started with a 12-4 wave. Kobe responded with a goal, and Fisher hit two shots thereafter, including a three-pointer. The Lakers went ahead 14-12 after a 10-0 run. The Hornets did not score a point in 3 minutes, but despite this, they still led 26-24 in the first quarter.
Jack and Paul succeeded one after another after the start of the second quarter, and the Hornets expanded their advantage to 33-24. The Lakers made their first shot after playing for nearly 4 minutes in this quarter, and the gap between the two sides once widened to 12 points. With 1 minute and 07 seconds left in this section, Ariza made two free throws and the Hornets led 52-40. Seconds before the end of the first half, Paul hit a three-pointer and the Hornets still led by 11 points. However, Artest hit a long three-pointer near the midfield and the Lakers chased the score to 47-55.
Artest¡¯s lucky three-pointer sounded the clarion call for the Lakers¡¯ counterattack. After the start of the third quarter, Fisher and Bynum succeeded one after another, and the Lakers scored 7 points in a row, narrowing the gap to 1 point. After the Hornets once again widened the gap to 63-55, Kobe began to hit consecutive shots. The Lakers went on a 10-2 run and tied the score with 3 minutes left in this quarter. The Lakers were always one step behind and failed to overtake in this quarter, trailing 72-73 entering the final quarter.
After Paul hit two consecutive mid-range shots at 4 minutes and 24 seconds before the end, the Hornets once again widened the gap 94-87, pushing the Lakers into a dead corner. 3 minutes before the end, after the Lakers narrowed the gap to 4 points, Jack made a shot, Kobe made a mistake at a critical moment, and Paul also made a successful mid-range shot. After that, he and Landry each made two free throws. The Hornets had 1 minute and 06 seconds left in the game. Leading 104-92 at the time.
The Lakers failed to make a shot in the past 3 minutes. Gasol succeeded in a mid-range shot seconds before the end. Odom also hit a three-pointer after that. Unfortunately, it came too late and the Lakers were unable to recover.
The Thunder, a youth team in the Western Conference, defeated the Nuggets 107-103 at home in the first round of the playoffs. Kevin Durant scored a career-high 41 points in the playoffs, Russell Westbrook scored 31 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds. No other main player scored in double figures.
The Nuggets squandered their double-digit lead in the first quarter. Nene Hilario scored 22 points and 8 rebounds, Danilo Gallinari scored 18 points, Tyson and Kenyon Martin each scored 10 points. Raymond Felton, who came off the bench, scored 12 points.
The first round of the playoffs has just begunAt the beginning, there have been many upsets. The Spurs and Lakers, ranked first and second in the Western Conference, both lost one after another. The trend of this year's playoffs seems to be that teams that are lagging behind are more likely to get a good start. This made the Celtics, a veteran powerhouse in the Eastern Conference, dare not neglect, but they tried their best and only narrowly defeated the Knicks 87-85 at home in the first game of the playoffs.
Two months ago, both teams made a deal. The Knicks made a major overhaul and acquired Anthony and Billups. The Celtics took a gamble and exchanged Kendrick Perkins. Nenad Kostic and Jeff Green. Both teams want to make a difference in the playoffs, and the results of their transactions will be tested in the playoffs.
Ray Allen hit the winning three-pointer seconds before the end and finished with 24 points and 6 rebounds. The Celtics' starting five all scored in double figures. Kevin Garnett had 15 points and 13 rebounds, Paul Pierce had 18 points, Jermaine O'Neal had 12 points, and Rajon Rondo had 10 points and 9 rebounds. and 9 assists.
The Knicks relied entirely on their frontcourt, with Amare Stoudemire scoring 28 points and 11 rebounds, Carmelo Anthony 15 points, and Chauncey Billups 10 points.
Judging from the results of these games, no team has an absolute advantage in this year's playoffs so far. This makes the majority of fans very interested.
The NBA is also very excited. They discovered on the first day of the game that this year's playoffs have attracted more attention than in previous years.
On the one hand, the competition is very fierce, the score is very close, and there are many bridges that are weak; on the other hand, several superstars have played an epic performance, making fans enjoying it.
Especially the Bobcats game, due to the presence of Jiang Jun, its ratings far exceeded other games.
After watching the game, many viewers questioned the referee's decision, especially the harsh treatment of Jiang Jun in the first half, which made many fans very angry.
This also makes David Stern somewhat conflicted. On the one hand, he does not want overseas players to dominate the NBA. On the other hand, he found that the foreign players in this year's playoffs performed very well and attracted a lot of attention.
He and several vice presidents held a small meeting to study this matter. In the end, they unanimously came to the conclusion that the referee should enforce the law fairly and ensure the fairness of the game. Since foreign players can bring benefits to the league, they should be treated equally.
Even Stern is still thinking about whether to convince those team owners not to shut down next season.
Who can have trouble with money?
Treating everyone equally and ensuring fairness is the simple decision of the league to make this year's game develop in a trend that others did not expect.
¡°As for Jiang Jun, a ¡°real superstar¡±, he didn¡¯t know that he would get fair treatment. He just thinks that when the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth, and they can use them as they see fit.
With the Bobcats full of confidence, on April 19, the Bobcats faced the Pacers at home to start the second game of the playoffs.
