Chapter 1085 1084. Three Points Frenzy
Back from the timeout, the Eagles sent a lineup of Jason Terry, McGrady, Korver, David Lee, and Josh Smith.
For the Hornets, Paul, JR-Smith, Russell Butler, Desmond Mason, and David West played.
JR Smith and Rasoul Butler, two forwards who averaged double-digit points per game last season, are almost abandoned this season after Byron Scott, the master of field control, does not continue to play badly.
However, the Hornets are not only relying on Paul to chase points, but also these two.
Facts have proved that in addition to the three advantages of cultivating point guards, building a defensive system, and allowing the Hornets to play the league's fourth-lowest turnover rate, Byron Scott's other coaching-related abilities are really not good.
His eyesight is really bad.
Now a second grader and a third grader finally got the chance to show their talents.
The Eagles frontcourt.
Korver throws the ball to McGrady, McGrady passes to Jason Terry, and lazily opens up space.
McGrady came out to tease Paul today. He played very casually. The better his performance, the more casual he was. He didn't pay attention to the Hornets.
Jason Terry received the ball and continued to play singles, but was pinched by Paul and JR-Smith.
Jason Terry, who scored two three-pointers in a row, is very confident, facing two singles...
JR-Smith steals it!
Directly cut off the ball that Jason Terry picked up when he was about to shoot, Paul picked up the ball, JR-Smith rushed down to the free throw line to receive the ball, took off with one step, swung the ball round, and scored two points with a tomahawk dunk!
73 to 80, the point difference narrowed to 7 points!
McGrady saw that JR Smith, who was also a high school player, dunked one, his eyes began to brighten up, and he became interested. After Jason Terry pushed the ball into the frontcourt, McGrady asked for the ball.
McGrady received the ball, faced JR-Smith's defense, grabbed the ball with one hand, and turned from the right to the left. JR-Smith's defense was very anxious. Seeing McGrady's action, McGrady reached out to steal.
Relaxed and freehand, McGrady only dribbled the ball once, and he reached the three-second zone. He grabbed the ball and jumped directly towards David West who received the basket, wanting to dunk!
David West pressed up and pulled McGrady straight down.
I would rather send McGrady to the free throw line than let McGrady dunk to boost morale.
McGrady was fine, he was prepared when he was pulled down, he didn't fall, and David West didn't have any malicious intentions to hurt anyone.
McGrady walked to the free throw line, feeling very unhappy, and both free throws were ironed.
Immediately after Paul advanced to the frontcourt, he missed a mid-range singles against McGrady.
McGrady grabbed a rebound this time and advanced to the top arc of the frontcourt, facing JR-Smith and making a three-pointer... still nothing!
but!
Looking back, JR-Smith faced Korver's defense and returned a dry pull, and he scored!
An unreasonable goal, Korver did a good job of sticking to the defense and shooting. The height advantage is there, but JR-Smith didn't pass the ball to Paul when he was sticking tightly. He shot directly and made it!
76 to 80, the point difference suddenly narrowed to 4 points!
Six and a half minutes left!
Coach Kruger called a timeout again!
……
Paul is so excited, excited and happy now, he is about to make a comeback!We are going to kill each other!
Paul imitated the boss of his company and called several teammates who were playing together to arrange tactics by himself. Compared with Liu Mang, he only took away the tactical board.
Byron Scott is also used to it, and that's what Kidd did back then.
And Byron Scott is relatively more conniving towards Paul and Irving who will be trained in the future, after all, he is a player trained by himself.
There is a characteristic of Paul's career, which is that he relies a lot on the kind of substitute who can make a few blind shots. Now this trend has begun to show.
Except for Manu Ginobili and Jason Terry, the best sixth man is almost the type who played well in the regular season and cheated in the playoffs.
But today is only the regular season, JR-Smith only appeared in the third quarter, and immediately helped Paul.
For the Eagles, Liu Mang took off his training uniform.
I thought I could sit back and watch my teammates abuse food, but I didn't expect to be caught up!
JR-Smith did not get a chance to play in the first half. JR-Smith, who averaged 11 points per game in the long season, only averaged 5 points per game this season. The Hornets are planning to abandon him.
In the original time and space, JR-Smith was indeed sent to the Denver Athletic Team after playing this season.
Because of this, Liu Mang forgot about JR-Smith, and only now did he notice this nerve knife!
"JR-Smith, ability evaluation 80 (nervous knife state), offense 85, defense 62, three-pointer 87, mid-range shooting 71, layup 88, speed 91, strength 77..."
Liu Mang remembers that JR-Smith’s average three-pointers per game in his career once exceeded 2.4.
Originally, Liu Mang beat Paul to death, but now the game has come to a critical moment!
After Liu Mang took off his training uniform, Coach Kruger called Liu Mang over.
"Ace, you play with Jason, Tracy, Kwame...Robert, win the game, focus on defense..."
……
After the timeout, the Hornets did not make any substitutions, and there was still no center lineup. The Eagles replaced Mihawk and Kwame Brown, and the four best players of the Eagles were all on.
The power forward did not send Josh Smith or David Lee, but Robert Horry!
Eagles offense, frontcourt.
Liu Mang received a free throw from McGrady, came to the top arc, and faced Paul's defensive dribble.
Coach Kruger mainly arranges defense, and let Liu Mang make his own decisions on the offensive end.
Liu Mang broke through to the right, and Desmond Mason, who was defending Horry, had already flanked and double-teamed Liu Mang.
Liu Mang distributed the ball to Horry in the bottom corner.
Horry is really... If you don't play in the playoffs, you can't shoot goals, three-pointers!
David West protects the defensive rebound!
Paul was very excited when he saw that Horry missed David West's shot and protected the rebound, and he was getting closer and closer to a comeback!
Paul advanced to the frontcourt, and before Liu Mang defended him, he now lobbed the ball to David West in the middle distance.
David West singled Kwame Brown with the ball in the mid-range face-to-face. He didn't push it. He wanted to rely on speed, but he didn't have the advantage of speed. He could only force Kwame Brown's defensive mid-range fadeaway...
Still in!
Moreover, Kwame Brown pounced too fiercely. When David West threw the ball, Kwame Brown slapped David West on the arm. The referee whistled and a penalty was added if the goal was valid!
David West's additional penalty also scored, 79 to 80, and the point difference was narrowed to 1 point!
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Eagles only scored 6 points!
10 of 2 shots!
Shengsheng was beaten 20 to 6 by the opponent!
Paul has seen the light!
Just one point away!
Paul retreated to the top arc, saw Liu Mang advancing, gestured to Desmond Mason behind his back, and then continued to stick up to Liu Mang.
Before Liu Mang was pasted by Paul, he pointed to the basket with his left hand. After Paul pasted Liu Mang, he subconsciously looked behind him, thinking that the Eagles were going to play an alley-oop pass.
But Tracy McGrady is stuck by JR-Smith, Jason Terry is lobbed...forget it, Kwame Brown and David West are entangled, Horry is lobbed?
Paul instantly denied the other party's request for an empty pick. When he glanced behind him and immediately turned his head, he felt that he was being pulled up against Liu Mang's hand, dragged up by the jersey.
Liu Mang has already jumped up!
Liu Mang chose to force himself when Paul was sticking to him, and shot a three-pointer!
"Ding... The King of Ganba is triggered at level 5. The host will be blocked for this shot, regardless of the anti-interference stickers."
Paul's little trick of grabbing Liu Mang's jersey was exposed, and the referee blew his whistle!
At the same time, Liu Mang's pull-up three-pointer fell directly into the basket!
Horry and McGrady rushed in, planning to grab a rebound, but stopped when they heard the whistle, and then heard the sound of the ball entering the basket!
Liu Mang hits a three-pointer!There will be an additional penalty!
At the critical moment, Liu Mang made his first move and stabilized the situation!
McGrady rushed up excitedly, Liu Mang also jumped up, and the two of them bumped their butts to celebrate.
Seeing Liu Mang being stuck to his jersey and being grabbed by his jersey, Paul made the shot. Seeing that the point difference was narrowed to one point, it returned to 4 points!
When Liu Mang went to the free throw line and made an extra free throw, widening the point difference to 84 to 79, Paul's heart sank for the most part!
There is a feeling that they have worked hard for a long time, and as long as Liu Mang comes back, their hard work will be for nothing!
Paul didn't give up yet, he suppressed the uneasiness, advanced to the frontcourt, and faced Liu Mang in singles.
With JR-Smith and Rasul Butler, the Eagles had no choice but to flank. Rasul Butler scored a three-pointer in the third quarter, and JR-Smith made 4 of 3 shots and scored 8 points.
Liu Mang defends against Paul alone.
Paul's speed is very fast, on par with Liu Mang, and he has a good sense of breakthrough rhythm, and the defense he faces accelerates his breakthrough!
Liu Mang didn't lose his position, and he was very focused on defense this time. Paul couldn't get rid of Liu Mang at the middle distance, so he could only force Liu Mang's defense and step back to make a jump shot!
Liu Mang pressed up and jumped up to block the shot, covering Paul's shot with a good sense. Paul leaned back to the free throw line and made a jump shot!
The Hornets still scored!
81 to 84, 3 points difference, 5 minutes left, Paul's mentality has stabilized a lot, hope is back again!
Liu Mang became even more excited when he saw Paul roar excitedly and waved his fist back to defend.
The rookie Paul...is also very good at playing!
He deserves to be a super rookie who was compared with Kidd by the media after only playing more than 20 games!
Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, took a big step across the three-point line, and shot directly!
The feeling didn't cool down after resting for half an hour, and it continued to stay hot!
Facing Paul's three-pointer, he hit it again!
87 to 81, the point difference continued to expand to more than 5 points!
When the Hornets attacked, the Eagles paid more attention to Paul. Kwame Brown came up to pinch Paul when he broke into the middle distance.
After the third quarter, Paul became more accustomed to this kind of early pincer attack, and immediately shot David West-David West's mid-range jumper.
The Hornets continue to maintain hope of a comeback, with a 4-point difference, 4 minutes and 19 seconds left, and a chance.
but……
When Paul and Desmond Mason double-teamed directly at the top arc, Liu Mang continued to shoot directly before the double-team fell!
Moreover, three three-pointers in a row!
