Chapter 156 Chris Paul's Nightmare
The current top three in the East:
First, magic;
Second, the Celtics;
Third, the knight;
Among them, the Celtics have the same record as the Cavaliers, but because the Celtics have defeated the Cavaliers twice in the regular season, relying on the difference between the teams, they overtook the rankings and ranked second in the Eastern Conference.
On March 3, after the Magic lost to the Cavaliers, the Celtics were only one game away from the Magic.
Stan Van Gundy didn't expect that after the All-Star Weekend, they won all the remaining games in February, but the situation became even more difficult.
On March 3, the Magic continued their schedule and went to Miami. Next, they will face the Heat again. This is their third match against the Heat this season.
They are also two teams in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference. They still have a game to play at the Magic's home court in April.
The East's "Player of the Month Award" for February has been handed out.
The person who got this award is Dwyane Wade!
The Heat's record in February was not very outstanding, with 2 wins and 12 losses in 6 games.
奈何韦德的表现实在是太过出色,场均31.2分4.8篮板8.8助攻1.9抢断1.3盖帽……
The shooting percentage is as high as 50.2% per game!
Look at the Heat's current No. 5 ranking in the Eastern Conference...
And last season's bottom-ranked ranking in the league...
In terms of emotion and reason, Wade deserves the "Best Player of the Month Award"!
Just in this way, the "Best Player of the Month Award" in the Eastern Conference this season can be called a "hodgepodge":
November belongs to the "OK" combination of the Magic, December belongs to the "Big Three" of the Boston Celtics, and January belongs to the "Chosen Son" LeBron James of the Cavaliers...
Plus Wade, the Eastern Conference's "February Player of the Month".
So far this season, no one in the East has been able to achieve the best consecutive title of the month.
In fact, it can also be seen from this how fierce the front troops in the east are this year!
Unlike the West, this time it's not Kobe Bryant, but it's still a Lakers player-Paul Gasol...
The momentum of the defending champion can be described as "extremely strong"!
Other teams in the West can only look sideways.
Yao Ming is a bit unlucky. From November to now, he has been running with him for 11 months. He is on the candidate list every month, but he can't get the final "Best Player of the Month Award" every month.
only……
Wade, who just got the "Player of the Month Award", was not happy tonight.
Returning to this place full of unpleasant memories again, Stan Van Gundy once again took out his "ultimate package" to prevent the "Best Player in the Eastern Conference in February" in a panic.
Seriously, just the flanks of Raja Bell and Michael Pietrus, plus the help defense of Li Wan and Howard, who play breakthrough, one counts as one, I'm afraid they are all "Xin Zhao" - there is death lifeless.
At the end of the game, Wade scored 33.3 points, 21 rebounds and 5 assists on a 6% field goal percentage. The statistics were basically lower than his usual.
In addition, there were 5 turnovers again.
Cook was a blessing to him, hitting 5 three-pointers tonight.
Previously, he and Conley "contested openly and secretly". Although Kapono was used as a background during the All-Star Weekend, the stability of the three-pointer did come up.
After the All-Star Game, he averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game and made 40.1% of his three-pointers!
He is the most reliable outside shooter in the Heat's current lineup.
If this performance continues, it is estimated that Cook will no longer be marginalized by Spoelstra as before...
The level of the league's bench players is actually about the same as that of the marginal drinking fountains. It's just a question of whether the coach wants to use it, likes it or not...
Li Wan contributed 23 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals in this game.
The state is tepid, and the most eye-catching part of this game is his confrontation with Cook.
If it weren't for him to stand up and respond to Cook's three-pointers three times, the Heat might have narrowed the point difference during that time.Tonight's Magic team will not be in the middle of the fourth quarter to lock the victory.
On March 3, the Magic team members who wandered around outside finally returned to Orlando.
After only four or five hours of sleep, Li Wan got up early, waited for Tai Lun to arrive, and...
Sam Gold!
This former close friend of Kobe, the former CBA star who helped Kobe polish his dribbling last summer, is now close to semi-retired. According to his original life trajectory, he will soon go to Shanxi on the other side of the ocean to become the coach of the Shanxi team a member of
Li Wan came to him, naturally to learn how to handle the ball...
In other words, find this ball-handling master and help him solve some ball-handling problems...
In the battle against the Celtics, Li Wan felt the excellent defensive adaptability of a defender at the "Best Defense Team" level.
At the last moment, although Li Wan relied on a sudden whim of "Bai Buddha", he shook Rajon Rondo away and completed the dunk.
But the playoffs are more targeted. If Li Wan wants to use "Bai Buddha" as a connection and change of his "back dribble and jump", he must have a master of ball control to teach him some tricks.
He gave Tyron a list, and the person who could be contacted the fastest was none other than Sam Gold.
Back then, the "direction changing stunt" he named after a trick got the attention of the outside world.
It is no exaggeration to say that at 1 meters, he became an NBA player by relying on his steady dribbling.Of course, after arriving in the NBA, the team found that he could dribble, and he could only dribble, so they kicked him again...
Li Wan explained his problem, and Sam Gold quickly understood it.
"Error correction" work started.
Because of several away games in a row and "back-to-back" games, the Magic's training today will not start until after 2 pm.
During these hours in the morning, Li Wan followed Sam Gold and continued to improve.
Although dribbling is just a basic skill, Li Wan found that there are actually many tricks in it from the beginning of studying McGrady’s video. As long as a little improvement is made, both the stability of ball control and the anti-interference ability can be greatly improved. .
Including, the smoothness of the connection of moves!
Of course, Li Wan did not forget to learn his famous stunt "Sam Gold" from Sam Gold.
Li Wan's current ball handling ability has reached 82.
Not to mention hardware facilities such as physical fitness, it must surpass Sam Gold.
Therefore, in one morning, he not only solved some difficulties in connecting moves, but also got a new direction-changing skill at this moment: Sam Gold.
Open the Proficiency panel...
Breakthrough with the ball (McGrady version) proficiency: 71;
Layup and board (Owen version) proficiency: 86;
Layup and board (Irving advanced version) proficiency: 86;
Passing (Jason Williams version) proficiency: 80;
Ball-holding rhythm (Jason Williams version) proficiency: 85;
Breaking away with the ball (Crawford version) proficiency: 80;
Sam Gold (authenticated) Proficiency: 60;
It can be seen that the McGrady version's breakthrough with the ball has not risen at all, and the other items are because they have almost reached the top of Li Wan's current talent, and the increase has become much slower.
However, judging from Li Wan's use of these moves on the field...
It's enough!
After a short break at noon, he went to the arena in the afternoon, and Stan Van Gundy directly arranged the tactics against the Suns tomorrow.
The Phoenix Suns are currently in ninth place in the Western Conference.
After the All-Star Weekend, Steve Nash and Stoudemire completely broke up, and the season was "reimbursed".
Only Shaquille O'Neal was left alone to lead the team.
"Shark" proved it at the time, what is "an old man talking about being a teenager".
2月19日,在与猛龙的比赛中,沙克狂砍45分11篮板2助攻3抢断1封盖!
Become the "oldest player" to obtain this data.
Chris Bosh suffered a "fatal blow".
He was abused during the game, and after the game, Shaq O'Neal ridiculed him in the face: "Only you know what is the three-second zone?"
bosh no fxxk said.
Kevin Garnett has to bow his head when he sees Shaq. What can he do as a "little Garnett"?
At most draw a circle to curse him...
Gain another 20 catties!
So fierce, Stan Van Gundy naturally had to take a good look at the next billion.
After listening to Stan Van Gundy's tactics, Li Wan only had four words in his mind: Shaq is over!
"Bah!"
"Ho ho ho ho!"
Are you sick?
The next night, the game went into the second half.
Pushing away the defender and dunking suddenly, Shaquille O'Neal seemed to be back in 2003, but there was no joy on his face when he landed.
Instead, his chest rose and fell violently.
Cursing inwardly.
He glanced at Stan Van Gundy next to him.
I really want to give him a set of "Jeff Hugging Legs" package!
Have you never been hit by a "shark"?
Why do fat people make things difficult for fat people!
It's no wonder he was more or less out of breath...
After playing the Raptors, all the opponents of the Suns listed him as "the most dangerous player in the Suns". All kinds of tight double-teams made him feel like he was back in 02.
It turns out that time really doesn't go away!
Originally tonight, he also thought that the Magic would be a "pressing" package to test his ability to break the press.
The result can be...
Glance at Stan Van Gundy, not even a second.
Shaquille O'Neal struggled to lift his elephant leg and ran toward his own zone.
A few figures rushed past him like lightning.
They're all Magic players.
The first time he dunked, Howard caught the ball falling from the basket and quickly served to counterattack.
This time is often when he has just left the basket and landed.
Lu Xun knew that at the end of peeing, there will be a shake, and Shaq must pause when he hits the ground.
Just this pause...
The Magic have already served, and even almost finished the fast break!
It was okay at the beginning, Shaquille O'Neal ran with his feet wide open, and he could barely keep up with the fast break rhythm.
But gradually, he couldn't take it anymore...
It was only 5 minutes and 14 seconds into the third quarter of the game. Shaq returned to the Suns defense zone at the fastest speed, but he could only catch up with the serve.
Sometimes, even Dragic, who has the ball, has to hold the ball and wait for him for a while.
Li Wan looked at his bitter look.
Secret way: Sure enough, only the fat man understands the pain of the fat man best... (Just like the brothers who read this book know the pain of the handsome man best!)
Until 4 minutes and 15 seconds into the fourth quarter, Shaq finally gave up and waved to Gentry next to him to let him put himself down.
Gentry looked at him trembling, just like an old man in his seventies or eighties...
Unable to bear it, he waved his hand and put him down.
The Suns lacked the main force on the offensive end and had no power to resist. At the Amway Arena, they were wiped out by the Magic at home and lost by 20 points.
Shaq - O'Neal tonight's final data for 15 points and 7 rebounds.
He decided to go home and frame the data sheet.
This is definitely the most difficult piece of data he has obtained in his entire career.
At the same time, a thought came to his mind: I want to lose weight!
3月10日、3月12日、3月14日……
The Magic won all of their next three home games.
Unknowingly, they played a wave of 5 consecutive victories again.
李万在这波5连胜中,场均可以贡献24.2分6.2篮板6助攻1.8抢断1盖帽的数据,场均投篮命中率48.4%,三分球命中率43.2%,罚球命中率89.1%!
Both data and efficiency are excellent, which also made him the Eastern Conference's "Player of the Week Award" in the second week of March.
Among them, in the game against the Nets on March 3, he scored 12 points with a shooting percentage of 55%, which was the highest single-game score in these games.
Yi Jianlian also performed very well in this game, scoring 18 points.
This is his 6th straight game with double-digit scoring.
And the number of consecutive battles has reached 18, and he has not been injured for almost a month!
The Nets front office is ecstatic...
His state is gradually stabilizing, and the "Player of the Week Award" for the latest week in the Western Conference belongs to Yao Ming, who averaged 25.4 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game...
Don't mention how happy the domestic fans are during this period!
3 month 15 day.
new orleans.
A luxury residential building.
2:30 am.
Chris Paul woke up in bed with a jerk, and at the same time woke up his wife Jada Clare next to him.
Jada was in a daze, but seeing Chris Paul dripping with sweat, he immediately thought of something, put his arms around Chris Paul's waist, and said distressedly, "Did you dream about Li Wan again?"
Chris Paul nodded.
Jada showed a "sure enough" expression.
Ever since the All-Star Game, Chris Paul has often dreamed of the scene where Li Wan knocked him down, hit a lore shot, and then reached out to him to help him up...
This probably is……
This is the 6th time!
The matchup in that round seemed to be a nightmare for CP3.
Jada just hugged him like this, comforting him softly, feeling that he was gradually calming down, and said softly: "Go to sleep, Chris, you still have a game today..."
Chris Paul glanced at the time.
2:[-] AM.
It was indeed race day.
Who are you calling today?
He covered his head and thought for a moment.
It's like... the Utah Jazz.
Deron Williams...
"..."
"Jada, honey, you bring me the melatonin by my bed..."
Chris Paul feels like he won't be able to sleep tonight without a slice.
Breathing gradually calms down...
Chris Paul is asleep.
And in Los Angeles, which is nearly 1 kilometers away.
4:[-] AM.
A certain man was still awake, and he was looking at a text message from a friend on his mobile phone.
——Hey bro, that little brother is really good at handling the ball, I think he's going to catch up to you.
——who?
——Who else could it be?Your little brother Li Wan!
——He is indeed the little brother, but after me?are you serious?
——You know, I never joke, his ball control is really stable, which is already better than yours.No way, he is indeed talented, hand, um, you know...
—Breakdown!
This was the last sentence Kobe replied, in exchange for a string of onomatopoeia from Sam Gold.
Staring at his hands unhappily for a long time, Kobe lifted the quilt to get up and wash up, and went to the arena for training as soon as possible.
He will let Sam Gold know what it means to be able to control the ball with small hands, and what it means to be "diligence can make up for one's weakness"!
However, this Los Angeles is really too congested!
It is too much for him to get up so early every day and go to the arena for training.
Getting in the car from the parking lot of his home, Kobe was suddenly attracted by the sound of the sky, and he tilted his head and glanced through the front glass of the car.
It's a low-flying helicopter...
Kobe's eyes lit up!
This seems like a very good choice!
The sky in Los Angeles is getting brighter...
Li Wan woke up at Taylor's house, reached out his hand to touch the half-damp sheet, took the napkin next to it, and rubbed it.
Last night there was a flash flood in Los Angeles that only Li Wan knew about...
Taylor next to him had already gone to bed.
Although they have become a couple, they also know that Taylor told him to leave early the next day.
Can……
For Li Wan, who was used to walking long ago, there was an inexplicable feeling of losing.
So, that night at the Staples Arena, Li Wan cleaned up "Round Face" and "Old Cat" Mobley one by one.
The cheers from the sidelines one after another...
Yes!
That's right!
Just cheers!
Although this game is the Clippers' home court.
But in Los Angeles, the Clippers have a few hundred fans. The reason for the crowd tonight is not only that this is Los Angeles, but also because the Clippers are playing the Magic in this game.
Many Lakers fans spontaneously came to the scene to cheer for Li Wan.
Although many Los Angeles media have regarded Li Wan as the number one enemy, in the hearts of Lakers fans, Li Wan's time in Los Angeles was still beautiful...
Although it has only been half a year, the movement and impact he caused are beyond the reach of many players who have been here for four or five years.
Odom:? ? ?
I like this thing, it has nothing to do with time...
Li Wan's outstanding performance tonight is naturally what they want to see.
only……
I don't know how long it can last...
Li Wan is looking forward to the scene when he comes to Staples in June this year.
On March 3 and March 17, the Magic ushered in their last "back-to-back" of the season.
First in Sacramento, "adding bricks and tiles" to grab the No. [-] pick for the Kings, and easily win the next trip;
I went to Charlotte again to "help others" and helped them end their 3-game losing streak. The most important thing is to keep the hope of entering the playoffs.
When the Magic team left the field, the Bobcats fans wanted to pull up a banner to see them off.
Some teams fail in the finals; some teams are successful as long as they can make it to the playoffs...
This is the "all beings" of the NBA.
"Shh!"
Chris Paul dodged in the air, avoided the Timberwolves' inside block, and successfully scored the ball.
This is his 36th point in this game, and it is also the 16th point difference opened by the Hornets!
In the end, the Hornets easily won the game 110 to 88.
Chris Paul scored a season-high 40 points in this game.
Plus 12 assists...
The rising star of the Timberwolves, Randy Foye, who averaged 16.3 points and 4.3 assists per game this season, was completely blown away by him.
Not just offensively.
On the defensive end, he also allowed Randy Foye, who is famous for his personal scoring ability, to only score 10 points. In addition, he was intercepted 2 times and made 6 turnovers in total.
When the final whistle blew, he hung his head in frustration.
Chris Paul didn't have him in his eyes. He looked at the camera in front of him with piercing eyes, full of determination in his eyes.
The next game for the New Orleans Hornets is a challenge at home against…
Li Wan and his magic team!
In the regular season of this season, his last chance to break the nightmare came...
He must seize this opportunity!
"Chris Paul swept away the haze, scored 40 points and 12 assists, and the "queen bee" began to dance again! "
"Fighting Li Wan again, can the in-form Chris Paul succeed in revenge? "
"The first meeting after the All-Star Game, Li Wan and Chris Paul, who will have the last laugh this time! "
……
This game also caused a lot of heated discussions before the game.
Near the end of the season, the general structure of the league has been finalized, and it is difficult to change it.
At the same time, it also led to the fact that the current game is all supported by gimmicks.
Except for a very few games, even the relationship between winning and losing is not important...
And this game between the Hornets and the Magic fully meets the conditions for a "hot game" at the end of the season.
In the past two years, the supernova Li Wan, who has shown his sharpness, met Chris Paul, who is about to be crowned the "League's No. [-] point guard", which is enough to make people look forward to.
In the All-Star Game, something like that happened.
It also makes the fate of the two people entangled together...
Li Wan also learned about Chris Paul's explosive performance last night from the report.
However, he is not very worried about the matchup with Chris Paul. At most, he can't limit the opponent, but Chris Paul can't even try to limit him.
In the past few days, Li Wan's understanding of the action of "worshiping Buddha" has become more profound...
Change tricks and change more!
Naturally, I am more confident in my offense with the ball...
but……
Li Wan thought for a while, he didn't need to worry so much about dealing with Chris Paul, so what's the point?Just lean sideways and recklessly!
To his surprise, Stan Van Gundy came to him and asked him, "Should I arrange some more singles tactics for you tomorrow?"
He also read outside reports.
I found that many media are discussing the possibility of Li Wan squeezing out Chris Paul to become the "League's No. [-] point guard"!
Although Li Wan does not belong to the traditional No. [-] position, but...
Who made him play number one!
Regarding Li Wan's status in the arena, Stan Van Gundy felt that he could sacrifice the team to highlight Li Wan himself!
This is his full love for Li Wan!
Li Wan waved his hand without hesitation: "No, finish them early and clock out after three quarters! I still have to save my strength to beat the Celtics!"
On March 3, the Magic sit at home and are about to usher in the last game of the regular season with the Celtics this season.
Right now, they are still one game away from the Celtics.
If they lose, the Magic will lose their No. [-] spot in the Eastern Conference.
This is a game about the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
Naturally, it is much more important than whether you can beat Chris Paul in statistics!
Stan Van Gundy listened to his answer and smiled with satisfaction.
Years later, Van Gundy wrote an autobiography in which he mentions…
Li Wan is the most responsible player I have ever seen!
The story used as proof is the conversation between him and Li Wan at this moment...
March 3 officially arrived.
Many fans came to the New Orleans Arena, cheering for Chris Paul!
Li Wan entered the arena amidst boos, and shouted at a fan next to him who was booing and spitting, "Be louder, didn't you eat? Do you want me to sign your autograph and eat a hamburger instead?"
The fan's reaction made Li Wan a little dumbfounded...
He actually nodded!
Seeing that guy holding Li Wan's autograph and being ecstatic, the Hornets fans next to him gave a "tsk" in disdain, then turned their heads and shouted at Li Wan who was walking away: "I want it too! I want it too!" !"
Hey, my damn popularity!
Li Wan shook his head in distress, and refused: "You know, I'm here to fuck Chris!"
That then sparked even more angrily boos from those fans.
Heh~ fans!
Before going on stage, Li Wan picked out his ears.He patted Howard next to him: "Dwight, do you think these fans are too excited?"
Howard looked around with a silly smile, nodded in agreement, and looked at Li Wan with an expression of "you just say what to do, my buddy supports you".
Li Wan tugged at his sky-blue sleeves, and the next thing he said was to everyone else in the starting lineup: "Let's beat them in one quarter, guys!"
His overall status in the Magic has obviously changed again.
Following his words, other people's eyes became a little more eager to try...
Hornets starting lineup:
Chris Paul at No. [-], Raschel Butler at No. [-], Peja at No. [-], David West at No. [-], Hilton Armstrong at No. [-];
Russell Butler is good at three-point shooting and defense, and is a typical 3D player.
This concept was recently formalized by certain experts...
To some extent, the increasing popularity of 3D players is also a sign that the times are transitioning towards the "small ball era".
When Li Wan saw the adjective "3D player" in the newspaper for the first time, he felt that the wheels of the times started to roll again.
Hilton Armstrong was the Hornets' backup at the beginning of this season. Tyson Chandler was reimbursed for the season, making him the Hornets' starting five after the All-Star Weekend.
His style and strength, simply described, is a weakened version of Tyson Chandler in all aspects.
Plus David West and Peja...
This Hornets team is no different from the Suns in the previous two years. They all rely on the transfer of the No. [-] position, and the others mainly rely on "eating cakes" to show their presence.
"Snapped!"
Howard got the ball first.
Li Wan took the ball to the frontcourt, and the first time Howard came up to pick and roll, he successfully got rid of Chris Paul.
Rasual Butler next to him immediately defended him.
He has a height of 2 meters and a striker's wingspan, so he can easily defend.
Facing the pick-and-roll, Chris Paul often adopts the method of going around the screen, because of Russell's trustworthy defensive ability.
But in the first time he made up, Li Wan hardly moved his hands, and just moved the ball with his fingers, and passed the ball straight to Raja Bell's hands.
Rasul didn't realize that Li Wan had already passed the ball until he released the ball.
Such a concealed and beautiful pass, thanks to the guidance of Jason Williams.
Li Wan's fingers are so flexible now, Taylor said "I can't stand it".
Raja Bell, who was in the open position, raised his hand and shot, and the ball fell into the net.
Russell is a 3D player, and Raja Bell is also a 3D player, or a better 3D player than him.
3-0!
The Hornets attacked, and Chris Paul also called a pick-and-roll.
Wesley came out, and Howard followed. ——The arrangement of Stan Van Gundy in this game, no matter who goes out to play the pick and roll for Chris Paul.Howard stopped them all.
Lewis deals with the man at the basket.
Avoid his mobility and not delay Chris Paul in time.
Regardless of how small this guy is, he rushes up as quickly as a "big black mouse". It's really hard to intercept ordinary insiders.
When Paul saw the situation, he threw the ball towards the basket without hesitation. Armstrong is 2 meters tall, and Lewis is only 11 meters tall. They are not muscular insiders.
Armstrong could have eaten him raw with his strength.
Anyway, the original Tyson Chandler could have...
The "substitute" Armstrong did not disappoint his elder brother. He pushed Lewis away at once, and raised his hand to send the ball to the basket.
Next to it, the number 23 of the Magic team rushed out and slapped the ball off.
Armstrong averaged 0.4 assists per game.
Using a water glass to describe his passing ability, even a drop in it is too much.
After getting the ball, he only has eyes for the basket.
Li Wan "steals the cap" and pats the ball on the top of Lewis' head. The latter grabs the ball, and after Li Wan lands, he quickly gives the ball to Li Wan.
Chris Paul rushed over, took advantage of the chaos of the crowd, and actively exerted force with both hands, stuck in the referee's blind spot, and came like this.
Li Wan is not surprised...
As expected of you, "Dirty" Paul!
Do you want to say that this 183 has defensive ability?
There must be!
In the end, he scored 5 times in the "Best Defense Team".
If you want to say whether this guy's defense is dirty...
That's for sure too!
In the first position, the one who can be dirtier than him may be Stockton, who is now the number one in the history of assists.
That one is even more heavyweight.
What came from "Monkey Stealing Peach", it was a lot of fun...
Chris Paul is not that heavy, but he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, all kinds of dirty moves.
Li Wan was swayed by his push, and from the referee's perspective, it was Chris Paul who held him back.
Paul's core strength is also famous in the first position.
They are not strange.
Li Wan immediately lowered his center of gravity, turned his body sideways, and slapped him hard with his shoulder.
This time it was CP3's turn to stumble.
Li Wan seized the opportunity and rushed directly beside him.
5 to 4 in the frontcourt!
Li Wan grabbed the ball with one hand from the free throw line and made a "fake move" to pass the ball to the side, but when he took a step forward and found no one came up to defend, he immediately jumped up, "burning the sky" ruthlessly Give it a hard buckle!
5-0!
Looking back, Chris Paul was about to foul the referee!
Li Wan gave him a thumbs up: You really have...
He always thought that he had a thick skin, but now compared with Chris Paul, he is simply a newcomer who just came out of society!
The thin skin is like a membrane.
Ok……
Do not misunderstand!
I'm talking about cell phone film.
Chris Paul chose to play alone this time.
Li Wan kept in front of him, letting him go inside.
Chris Paul was lucky, and suddenly found something wrong...
Why doesn't the opposite side double-team!
This made him plunge into the basket, pass the basket helplessly, and walk towards the outside...
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chris Paul suddenly "turned back and pulled", hooked his hands and sent the ball to the backboard.
Seeing that it was a cricket goal.
Howard slapped the racket and flew.
The ball hit the backboard and flew out, and Li Wan, who was following Howard, caught the ball.
"I knew you were going to do this!"
Howard shook his head triumphantly.
The back view of Chris Paul dribbling the ball out from the basket just now reminded him of the All-Star Weekend.
Chris Paul had a similar goal back then.
Can the same trick be used twice?
I, Dwight Saint Seiya Howard, don't agree!
Paul chased Li Wan back to defend with some depression.
He is very puzzled...
Steve Nash can steal points with this trick every time...
Why can't I do it?
If he asked Steve Nash about this, the latter would definitely smile like a master: "If the sky falls, will it hit you first, or will it hit me first?"
"Hitting you... oh, Steve, you mean I haven't done enough?"
"No, I'm just saying you're too short!"
With such a height, don't think about layups under the basket, just obediently throw shots from the outside!
Especially facing a highly mobile insider like Howard...
Li Wan quickly handed over the ball in the frontcourt. Turkoglu crushed Peja to complete an air cut, took the ball in his hand, and "three steps slower" scored the ball!
As the ball fell, Armstrong clapped his hands on it.
"beep!"
Jam the ball!
7-0!
Armstrong spread his hands helplessly. He was already running very fast, but he still didn't have time to defend.
Compared with Tyson Chandler's defensive speed, he is indeed far behind.
Chris Paul looked at "A Tan" in front of him, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Tyson Chandler sitting off the court.
He is clearly in front of his eyes, but he misses him so much...
This is probably the furthest distance in the world!
7-0!
Chris Paul looked at the bright red and dazzling score, and it was very clear that what he had to do now was to score quickly and break the scoring drought!
He shook his head to get rid of distracting thoughts. Facing Li Wanyitong's continuous dribbling, he made a sudden breakthrough and made a jump shot.Li Wan didn't lose his position, but the ball still got into the basket.
This is the display of pure personal scoring ability!
The score came to 2-7.
The Magic team was not affected at all, and quickly launched an attack. Li Wan went to the frontcourt, and Turkoglu from the flank ran to catch the ball. Li Wan hit him the ball and rushed to the inside.
Turkoglu got the ball and quickly passed the ball back to Li Wan.
Chris Paul tried to dig out from behind. Li Wan had always noticed that he was following behind him. When he got the ball, he immediately dribbled it with the other hand and rushed into the basket to avoid Armstrong's defense. , gave the ball to Howard, and the assist took off.
"Bah!"
In less than 7 seconds, the Magic completed their counterattack.
9-2!
The auditorium, which had been dead for a long time, showed some signs of recovery after Chris Paul hit such a handsome personal attack.
As a result, in just a few seconds, it became lifeless again.
The expressions of several other members of the Hornets are also a bit ugly...
Panting badly, it is said that the game has just started for a few minutes, as an NBA player, no matter what, it is impossible to be so bad.
They were panting so heavily, not because of their physical fatigue, but because of...the oppressive feeling of the Magic team!
From the very beginning of the game, the Magic played very aggressively on both ends of the floor...
What's more, they have been speeding up their offensive tempo, not giving them a chance to breathe at all!
In addition...
ESPN commentator Mike Brin, who explained the game, said: "The Hornets' offense relies too much on Chris Paul's sudden points. Once the opposite position has someone who can deal with Chris Paul alone, then the rest of the Hornets Can't help Chris Paul at all..."
As he was talking, David West ran up high to hold the ball.
As a stocky fourth position, West has a very good singles ability with the ball, and he has a rare breakthrough ability with the ball in the fourth position.
The career high of averaging 21 points per game this season comes from his improvement on the ball-handling end!
But facing Howard with terrifying athletic ability, he is best at turning around and jumping hooks, and he can't see the basket at all.
"Bang" sound!
David West made a shot and it ended in a strike.
Mike Breen added reassuringly: "Including David West!"
Armstrong grabbed the offensive rebound for the first time, but when he was looking for someone, Li Wanyi slapped him off again!
The Hornets coach Byron Scott on the sidelines was speechless, dragging his cheeks, and he didn't know whether he was so angry that his cheeks hurt, or he was trying to maintain his image so as not to yell.
In fact, he also knew that it was indeed difficult for Armstrong to play such a high-end game.
The defensive pressure of the Magic team, how can he adapt so quickly as a perennial small substitute.
He can understand Armstrong, but the Magic don't feel sorry for their ability to resist at all. In another 9 seconds, Li Wan, who broke through to the inside, slammed the ball outside the three-point line on the wing. The Turk continued to transfer the ball to Lewis in the bottom corner.
Three point hit!
Now it's 12 to 2!
In less than 5 minutes, the Magic had opened up a double-digit score.
Byron Scott no longer expected the Hornets to recover by themselves and quickly called a timeout.
When Li Wan left the field, he high-fived his teammates one by one, and then looked around at the bench.
The brand new "New Orleans Library" has been built!
Some New Orleans fans couldn't stand the silence anymore, they left their seats silently and walked into the fan aisle, apparently planning to leave the stadium.
Chris Paul panted heavily, looked at what Scott wrote on the tactical board, seemed dissatisfied, took the tactical board by himself, and began to arrange tactics.
As the only 2-point winner of the Hornets, his voice is very loud!
The others just watched without saying a word.
The vibe on the Orlando side is much more cheerful, and Stan Van Gundy simply said something changed. ——That's all nitpicking.
As soon as the Magic came up today, they immediately entered the state...
Looking at the Magic players with excited expressions in front of him, Stan Van Gundy was very worried whether the Hornets' small body could hold it!
I'm afraid something big will happen tonight!

Then I got the boutique badge early this morning, and the first order of 1100 was put on the shelves. In fact, the results are not very good. It took less than two months to go to the boutique. Thank you for your support.
After all, after going through so many things, the handicap of NBA texts at the starting point is so big...
In addition, I didn't write it quietly, and I didn't take it seriously at first, but recently several people came to talk about it, and I think it is necessary to say something, so as not to refute the rumors, I am somewhat embarrassed.
