Chapter 454: Bad Feel
Billups had a strong desire to attack in the first quarter, hitting 3 of 4 three-pointers and scoring 14 points in a single quarter. Although Ji Guozhi only made 1 of 5 shots in the first quarter and played like, the Clippers still relied on the play of Mr. Key to lead the Hornets by 5 points at 34:29.
Paul's small face had already become particularly unhappy, and Billups scored consecutive bukkake goals in his head, which to the already superstar Chris. Paul, an absolute disgrace!
Queen Bee did her best in the first quarter, but his relationship with Billups was like Howard and Yao Ming, or Yao Ming and Boozer, and Billups was him. Paul was born a bitter Lord. Mr. Key has a physical advantage, and he played with confidence in the face of Paul in the past few seasons, and every time he sees Xiao Zhengtai, he will explode!
Chris. Paul had 12 points and two assists in the first quarter, and Bynum also had six points, but West didn't shoot 0-of-3 from the field.
Byrons. Kort knows that despite Bynum's impressive offensive play since coming to the Hornets, New Orleans looks like a pseudo-Big Three. But he knows better that Bynum meets Ji Guoqiu, and it is good if he doesn't suffer a big loss, and the Hornets want to defeat the Clippers, but they don't rely on him, they can only rely on Chris. Paul, Queen Bee had to explode with energy far beyond Billups on the offensive end. But the first quarter of the battle between the two made Byron. Scott didn't dare to expect too much, and Billups scored two more points than Paul if it continued like this. It's impossible for the Hornets to win.
Section II. Paul only had a two-minute break before getting back on the pitch. The Hornets are different from the Celtics, who can't fall into the top three in the East no matter how they play, and they can strategically give up a regular season game if they don't think it's worth it. But the New Orleans Hornets can't, they have a bad record this season, they have been hanging around in the seventh or eighth place at the beginning of the season, and they fell out of the top eight at one point before the trade. The Hornets can't give up lightly in every game, otherwise they may be squeezed out of the top eight by the Mavericks, Jazz and even the Thunder, and they must try their best to win against the first place in the league.
Chris. Paul's three-pointer. Strictly speaking, it is also a bit convulsive, and as soon as you get up, you feel that you can enter, and in the end, you really enter. When it's not accurate, it gives people the feeling that they can still get in, but of course they can't get in. In the second quarter, Paul faced Dragic, and the queen bee naturally wouldn't let the rookie bully him anymore, dribbling to the restricted area twice in a row to score the ball, and then throwing a cold shot from the outside, scoring 7 points in a row.
Old Dunleavy could only call a timeout at this time. Paul was like a loach shuttling back and forth in their defensive formation, and the encirclement had to be narrowed. oppress his range of motion. The old Dunleavy's countermeasure is to wrap the clip, and there is no other way, Billups can't prevent Paul in the first quarter, but the two brothers are covered on the inside, and it is not easy for the queen bee to shoot, so she can only choose to pass. Now Jordan Jr.'s Amir. Johnson's interior combination clearly can't do that, and Chris. Paul was like a swim in the ocean.
As the brothers entered March, their playing time began to decrease, a change made by Dunleavy Sr. based on their February decline. This season, the two brothers often played more than 40 minutes, and although they were both perverted, they were still affected by the body in the second half of the season, and their shooting percentage and scoring efficiency declined in February.
Dunleavy Sr. now has to prepare for the playoffs, and if they continue to keep the two playing at such a high intensity, they will likely not be able to play last season's table in the playoffs, because the energy is exhausted in the regular season. Many Clippers fans have also criticized Dunleavy Sr. for not doing well in the rotation, which can refer to the Spurs, the GDP combination plus Jamison, the average playing time of the four is only 30 minutes per game, and the Spurs' record is not much worse than that of the Clippers. If these four people were handed over to old Dunleavy, it is estimated that most of them would have been scrapped long ago.
In the second quarter, the core of the Hornets, Chris. Paul broke out first and the Clippers took a timeout after a package was adopted by David. West took over the offensive duty on the inside, and his hand was still not good, but he used his experience and skill to make two interior fouls for the Clippers in a row, and walked to the free throw line to help the Hornets overtake the score.
Crawford didn't have a convulsion today, and he played James off the bench. Posey, who has been in a dip in form this season, has been able to show his top-notch defensive ability in some games. Today, for example, he used his experience and familiarity with the Clippers to limit Crawford very well, and he also stealed a pass from the Clippers in the second quarter to help the Hornets continue to extend their lead.
The old Dunleavy saw the Hornets expand the point difference on the court, but he still didn't rush to replace the two brothers on the court, and now the Clippers and the Hornets are just the opposite, they also don't care about losing one or two games, since they are ready to limit the playing time of the interior core, then simply let the team's benches carefully feel the feeling of being in adversity, always follow the twins behind the ass to play a tailwind game, it is easy to be at a loss when encountering real trouble in the playoffs, to win the championship is not just a matter of five starters, there must be players on the bench who can stand up.
The Clippers wanted to see if their bench could play a tough game, and Barnes was the first to step up, and after Dragic's breakthrough fell into the bag, Barnes cut to the basket to receive a pass, jumped into the air to dodge and press, and a powerful one-arm dunk boosted the team's morale. Crawford then singled Posey from the perimeter and finally drew a foul on the latter with his trademark jumper layup and made two free throws.
Dragic understood that they were playing according to the Clippers' tactics, Posey was too threatening, he knew the Clippers' tactics well, and the Hornets must have been taught by him before the game. However, they did not have so many problems attacking with their individual ability, and instead of playing the team's regular tactics to small-scale coordination and singles, they played Crawford's top-level 1v1 ability.
At 7 minutes and 10 seconds in the second quarter, the elder Dunleavy saw the score of 41:44, although he was still overtaken by the Hornets by three points in the half quarter, but the substitute faced the main force, and such a table was barely qualified.
The old Dunleavy waved his hand, and the Clippers replaced the main interior line, and the lineup on the court became: Billups, Afflalo, Barnes, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.
The Hornets also brought Bynum back on, with most of the main players of both teams back on the court.
As soon as Ji Guosha came on the court, his desire to attack was outrageously strong, and he received a long-range shot two steps away from the three-point line directly after receiving the basket, and as a result, he almost shot a three-pointer, and the basketball hit the rebound without touching the basket and bounced off the giant panda hand below.
"Look at what, Lao Tzu is passing, do you understand!" Ji Guoyi saw West looking at him with strange eyes, and shouted with some annoyance.
"It's okay, I'm also 0 of 4 shots." West had a good temper and directly pointed out the embarrassing fact that Ji Guozhi shot 1 out of 7.
Many fans in the New Orleans arena were loudly laughing at Ji Guoyi's shooting, but they were also a little lacking in confidence, because Brother Panda scored two points after receiving the basketball and dunk on the spot, which seemed to be a passing just now?
"Good pass!"
Ji Guoqiu shouted at the dead fox at this time, the Wasp players looked good-looking, and Bynum was even more confused for a moment, and secretly thought to himself: "Could it be that Brother Fox's ball is really a pass?" ”
Chris. Paul didn't care about whether Ji Guosha was pretending to be forced or pretending to be compared at this time, and as soon as he saw Billups in front of him, he couldn't calm down. As a superstar, how can he be restrained? It stands to reason that Billups shouldn't restrain Paul, it's completely because the first few times Queen Bee and Billups fought each other, because of their young relationship, they were taught a miserable lesson by Mr. MVP of the Pinnacle Pistons. But now, his ability has long surpassed Billups, and he shouldn't be beaten by the other party again.
In fact, he is not the only one who has such a problem, Ji Guoqiu was beaten badly in several encounters with Duncan in his rookie season, and he is still quite miserable when he meets Duncan now. This is by no means that Brother Panda has not improved, it is more of a psychological reason, and it is a two-sided psychological effect. After Duncan beat the giant panda a few times, he felt very confident in facing Ji Guoqiu again, so he played very well every time, and there were such seemingly restrained results one after another. But as long as the players break through the shackles in their hearts, any nemesis and bitter master are nonsense.
Ji Guoyi didn't have such a problem, it was caused by his personality, but his bad hand today hurt the Clippers a lot, and this guy shot 1 out of 7, and he still dared to shoot, and soon his number became 1 of 8 shots.
The Hornets saw that Ji Guoyi must have and didn't wash his hands today, and let him go on the outside in the second quarter, choosing to wrap up the excellent Billups and Ji Guoqiu.
"If you can't shoot, break through!" Ji Guoqiu saw that the score difference was about to be widened to double digits by the wasp, and knew that the dead fox would continue to be so iron, so he would explain it today.
"yes, I almost forgot that I would break through, TMD was scared of the bad feel!" Ji Guoyi didn't blush at all, and continued to open his hand to ask for the ball after speaking.
Ji Guozhi here hasn't launched his breakthrough plan yet, Chris. Paul first hit a three-point shot against Billups outside the three-point line, and also made a foul on Mr. Key, 3+1!
The New Orleans Arena was instantly boiling, and their queen bee couldn't beat the 32-year-old Billups in the first quarter, which made Hornets fans feel aggrieved. However, in the second quarter, Chris. Paul finally got the upper hand in a head-to-head battle with Billups, as the Queen Bee shot to give the Hornets a 12-point lead over the Clippers as the two teams extended their score to double digits for the first time today.
With 4:25 and a score of 43:55 in the second quarter, the Hornets hit an 11-2 surge in three minutes to widen the margin to 12 points.
The elder Dunleavy hurriedly stretched out his hand to call a timeout, the team's offense was unfavorable during this time, and they could be said to be about to be defeated by Paul alone, this is the power of superstar players.
