Chapter 811: The New Army's Challenge Three
Chris Paul controlled the ball, his mentality gradually let go, and he faced the very inclined Byron Davis in the front court, full of fighting spirit.
Byron was the boss of the former Hornets, but he is the current leader of the Hornets, and the previous opposition between the two is called the new and old queen bee counterpoint.
Byron approached Chris Paul and stuck to him to interfere with him.
"You can't get past me, we're going to win you today." Byron taunted Paul as he poked the ball.
Paul was not to be outdone, "You just hugged Yang Di's thigh, if I team up with Yang Di, I will win ten championships in the opening." ”
"Oh, is it? Then you go and team up with him! ”
Paul stopped suddenly, suddenly a crotch, the basketball was exchanged from his right hand to his left hand, bent his knees, and opened up space with Byron, Byron reached out to grab him, but accidentally touched his arm.
"Shet!"
Byron scolded secretly, thinking that it was not good.
Sure enough, Paul made an exaggerated arm flick as he moved, and the referee blew the whistle by feeling and gave Byron Davis an offensive foul.
Byron raised his arm and signaled his responsibility for the ball.
The Hornets served on the sideline, Yi Jianlian gave the ball to Paul, and Paul dribbled to the top of the arc.
David West came up to Paul to cover the pick-and-roll, and Youngdy bypassed to defend Paul directly.
The two faced each other, looking at each other with direct eyes.
Paul's eyes were full of fearlessness, confidence and fighting spirit, he pressed down with his right hand, exchanged the ball with a crotch dribble to his left hand, and then found the gap in the defense, and with a flick of his left hand, he boldly passed the ball between Yang Dee and Byron Davis.
The basketball speed is extremely fast, and Yang Di didn't expect Paul to be so bold, so he reached out and took it out at that moment.
He didn't touch the basketball, but David West, who was behind him, received the basketball and rushed straight to the basket in the open space.
Then in front of Tyson Chandler's defense, he threw a shot and hit.
"Good shot!"
Byron Scott applauded, Paul's passing was still solid, and he didn't panic because he was in the playoffs for the first time, and he was quite a big man.
During the 07-08 regular season, Chris Paul played in a total of 80 games, averaging 21.1 points, 4 rebounds, 11.6 assists and 2.7 steals per game, shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 36.9 percent from three-point range, making him the hottest point guard in the league today.
Yang Di paid attention to Paul's pass and silently remembered it in his heart.
The Warriors attacked, Yang Di also came out to block and dismantle with Byron Davis, after guiding the ball, Byron Davis received the ball and passed Yang Di's cover, and Paul followed suit, actually following the ground very closely.
The Hornets didn't switch defenses, and Byron felt that he had room to shoot, and after stepping back, he pulled up and shot a two-pointer.
The basketball smashed on the front of the basket with a "clang", but it was snatched by Yang Di after it bounced.
Yang Di squeezed David West away and made an easy pick under the basket.
After a few rounds, the Hornets also maintained a high-intensity confrontation.
Paul and Yi Jianlian blocked and dismantled outside, Paul burst to Peterson, and Peterson turned again and gave Yi Jianlian to the bottom corner, and Yi Jianlian made a three-point jumper.
Missed, the rebound was snatched by Danny Granger.
Granger dribbled forward and handed it to Ray Allen, who covered Ray Allen, who split the air to Byron, attracting a bunch of Hornets packs.
Byron Davis made a clever landing, and Tyson Chandler got up and scored a dunk straight away.
It boosted the morale of the Warriors.
After the first long timeout, the two sides returned to the bench to rest, and the Warriors led the Hornets 9-6, and the lead was actually not very many points.
On the field, the Warriors are still in a suppressive situation, but it is impossible to open up the difference at one time.
After the pause, the two sides still exchanged their main forces.
Yang Di took the lead in shooting, and after getting the ball inside, he turned around and shook David West, who jumped up, and then turned around, and went around West and Yi Jianlian to make a basket at a peculiar angle.
The basketball was played into the basket, and the two turned their heads to see that the ball rolled in a circle, and then rolled in.
Yang Di adjusted his defense in small steps, stretched out five fingers, moved his fingertips slightly, looked at the palm of his hand, and made an exaggerated expression, as if it was unbelievable.
The offbeat celebration drew laughter from the fans, and the tension eased slightly.
11-6, a five-point lead.
Paul controlled the ball, dribbled under his hip in the front court, faced Byron Davis, suddenly accelerated to start, and did not find a block, it was directly a face-to-face heads-up breakthrough.
Paul is extremely fast, and he is not afraid to face an All-Star veteran like Byron.
Byron didn't expect Paul's breakthrough to be so resolute, and when he wanted to defend horizontally, he thought that he had already carried a foul on his body, and he didn't dare to reach out, so Paul passed him directly and went straight to the inside.
Then in front of Yang Di's supplementary defense, Paul threw a shot.
Yang Di jumped very high, Paul turned up the arc, he felt very good, the basketball crossed a trajectory high, and the hollow fell into the basket.
"Huh!"
Crisp and audible.
Yang Di looked at Paul with some surprise, Paul's strength has reached this point? It seems that he is really an out-and-out S-class star, and his condition seems to be very good.
The Warriors attacked, and Byron, who was directly passed by Paul, felt a little faceless, and he had to single out Paul one-on-one.
But Paul defended very well, his seemingly short body was very tough, he was not afraid of confrontation, and he was stuck in front of Byron Davis, and Byron made a few feints, and he couldn't get rid of him for a while.
Byron forced a breakthrough through Paul, the two confronted each other, the Hornets did not wrap up, and Byron forced a layup directly by himself.
Missed, the rebound rolled out, and Yang Di was stuck by Yi Jian United and David West.
On the other side, Tyson Chandler got his chance, grabbed the rebound and made a layup.
"Beautiful!"
Yang Di and Chandler high-fived and retreated, Chandler's rebounding ability is very strong, but he is on the same team with Yang Di, so he can't get a double, Montgomery has praised Chandler's rebounding ability in public many times.
Chandler also has a very tough offensive ability under the basket, and his finishing ability under the basket has been underrated.
This offense, because Yi Jianlian's card position was out of position, he gave him the opportunity to find the right time and add points to the Warriors.
Such a score was very annoying to the Hornets, and Byron Scott immediately got up from the bench, waved his big hand at the court, and yelled loudly.
At 13-8, the Warriors led by five points.
Paul took possession of the ball and walked up to the front court, saw Scott yelling on the sidelines, and didn't pay much attention to him, and after David West received the ball in the elbow area, the other Hornets players made various runs.
And then it was Paul, the 23-year-old who bared his sharp fangs and hit a three-point jumper after receiving a pass from West.
With Paul's excellent play, the Hornets did not collapse with a single touch, and the score was stubbornly bitten in the first quarter.
