Chapter 430: Best Assist
The Warriors' offense was smooth, while the Hornets offense got bogged down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Halfway through the first quarter, Paul missed two mid-range jumpers, passed to PJ Brown on the inside, and was slapped by Yang Di, who helped defend the ball, to the outside.
Byron Davis, Youngdy and others are more aggressive defensively, using their athleticism and physicality to look for confrontation with the Hornets.
After Yang Di turned around and shot, he had already scored 10 points in the first quarter.
Chris Paul finished the game with four points and two assists in the first quarter, and then Danny Granger and Mike Dunleavy each hit three-pointers as the Warriors continued to extend their lead in the first quarter.
They led the Hornets by 14 points at 22-36.
Yang Di grinned, at this rate, it won't take half a time for the Warriors to defeat the Hornets, and Paul won't have to play.
In the first half of the second quarter, the two sides played off the bench.
On the Warriors' side, Monta Ellis has gradually become an important firepower on the outside of the Warriors' bench, partnering with John Salmons, the two have strong offensive firepower, while the Hornets mainly rely on the play of Spedy and JR, JR-Smith is in the league's second season, but unfortunately he was demoted to a substitute from the starter in the first season, although the outside shooting percentage has improved, but the playing time and number of shots have decreased significantly, and he can still average 10.3 points per game in the first season, and he can only score 7.7 points this season.
Over the course of the season, he shot less than 40 percent from the field and had occasional convulsions, but it was too consistent.
But the Hornets are unavailable, and the second echelon can only rely on JR's play.
JR faced John Salmons, turned to the right hand and made a strong sudge, dribbled to the baseline position, and directly stopped and turned to shoot, the action was picturesque.
"JR's move is like Kobe."
On the bench, Youngdy turned his head and said to Byron Davis.
"But the efficiency is not high, his core strength still needs to be practiced, as long as he has core strength, he can better grasp the balance, and the shooting percentage should be able to come up under confrontation." Davis said.
As soon as the words fell, the ball smashed on the back edge of the basket, and then bounced high and bounced to the left.
"I don't like to make such a strong throw anyway, it's a little too forced." Yang Di feels that this kind of strong shot is better than a single-block cover shot after blocking and dismantling, at least the stability is much higher.
Monta Ellis receives the ball at 45 degrees on the flank.
Defending him is the previous Warriors used to trade Yang Di's Spedy, and now Spedy's form has declined greatly, and as he enters the age of 28, it also proves that his ceiling is limited, and his lack of three-point ability makes his performance on the court more limited.
Monta Ellis held the ball with three threats, and after holding the basketball high, the right side was replaced by a strong attack on the left, and the first step was extremely fast, like a wind step.
Spidy barely followed, but the rhythm was a little out of order, and Ellis suddenly turned around with one step.
His dribbling and turning movements are extremely gorgeous, like dancing a dance, pulling the ball horizontally with his left hand and using his right foot as the axis.
Then Ellis didn't make a strong break either, jumping up and shooting from a step inside the three-point line.
"Huh!" Easy hits unguarded.
"Monta's mid-range shooting is still good, but as soon as he gets out of the three-point line, his shooting becomes a little erratic, sometimes a series of goals, sometimes he can't make a single shot in half a day." Monta Ellis' performance this season has been one of the best among the Warriors' rookies, with the exception of Danny Granger, mainly because of his play.
The coaching staff found that Monta Ellis was a little more aggressive than John Salmons, and if he could have better timed his passes and made reasonable shots, he could definitely squeeze John Salmons out of the bench and become the Warriors' top scorer off the bench.
Spedy steadied the Hornets' offensive tempo.
Outside the three-point line, he chose to break through with the ball, and Monta Ellis's defense was not strong, and Spedy easily passed him before attacking the Warriors' interior.
Opted to throw in front of Foyer, the top of the arc was high.
Although Foyer is old, he still has a strong sense of helping to defend, and this block is very interfering, and the force of the basketball throw is too great, and the back edge of the ball bounces.
The burly Svetney grabbed the rebound.
In the ensuing offense, John Salmons completed a cross-step breakthrough in front of JR, then turned low and stepped back to shoot a jumper, hitting the mid-range, and the Warriors' points went all the way up, and the head coach of the Hornets, Byron Scott, turned pale, called a timeout, and was furious.
"How do you defend and why do you let the Warriors score in a row? JR, what about your defense? If you can't shoot offensively, where is your defense? You're just watching this guy keep scoring points on your head? Or do you simply not want to defend and don't need the job anymore? ”
Scott didn't like JR in the first place, but after a few minutes, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at JR, seriously criticizing JR.
JR listened to the bruises in his head, and his whole body was about to explode, glaring at Scott, although he didn't speak, but the meaning of disobedience to discipline was overflowing.
Scott is even more resentful in his heart, Chris Paul is embarrassed on the side, although he is the new core of the team, but after all, he is still a rookie in the first season, Scott represents the coach, and JR has a good relationship within the team, and the players have a good relationship in private.
The Hornets' hiccup was captured by the sharp-eyed ESPN, and the confrontation between JR and Scott became what ESPN wanted to cover more than just the game.
After such a quarrel, the morale of the Hornets was even lowered, and Yang Di didn't know that JR had given him an assist in disguise, and if he knew, he would be even happier in his heart, maybe he would invite JR to a meal or something.
After the timeout ended, the Hornets were defeated, Scott put JR back on the bench and did not let him play, and after Yang Di and others came on the court, the offensive momentum of the Warriors continued.
At halftime, the Warriors led the Hornets by 22 points 61-39, and it was spent at halftime.
After the Warriors have won a season, there are not many games in which they have really won by a big score, and there are many victories of about 10 points, but many seem to have won by 10 points, but they have been playing until the last minute, so Yang Di often participates in the fourth quarter, and there is a reason why the data is good.
Paul walked into the locker room with a serious face.
After the second half, he assisted his teammates to hit three-point shots, hoping that the Hornets would strengthen their outside offense, and Dunleavy, a single Warriors, was more accurate in three points, full of firepower, and shot 3 of 4 three-pointers in a single quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, Paul had 11 points and 5 assists, and the Warriors led by nearly 30 points, and the Hornets directly gave up the fourth quarter and replaced other rookies and bench marginals, and the game went into garbage time.
Yang Di successfully completed the mission and got the shards of Chris Paul to draw a successful end to the March schedule.
