Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife

Chapter 156 Chris Paul's Nightmare

The current top three in the East:

First, magic;

Second, the Celts;

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, with the difference between the teams, they overtook the ranking and ranked second in the Eastern Conference.

On March 4, after the Magic lost to the Cavaliers, the Celtics were just one game away from the Magic.

Stan Van Gundy didn't expect that after the All-Star weekend, they won the rest of February, but the situation was even more difficult.

On March 6, the Magic continued their schedule and headed to Miami, where they will meet the Heat for the third time this season.

The two teams in the East and Southeast Division have one more game to play at the Magic's home in April.

The Eastern Conference Player of the Month Award for February has been handed out.

The person who got this award is Dwyane Wade!

The Heat didn't have a terrific record in February, going 6-6 in 12 games.

However, Wade's performance is too good, averaging 31.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.3 blocks per game...

The shooting percentage is as high as 50.2% per game!

Let's look at the current Heat team's 5th ranking in the East...

And last season's last-to-last ranking in the league...

Reasonable, Wade deserves the "Best Player of the Month Award"!

It's just that, this season's Eastern Conference Player of the Month Award is a "hodgepodge":

November belongs to the Magic "OK" combination, December belongs to the Boston Celtics "Big Three", January belongs to the Cavaliers "Chosen Son" LeBron James...

Plus Wade, the Eastern Conference's "February Player of the Month".

So far this season, no one in the East has achieved the best of the month.

In fact, it can also be seen from this, how fierce the front troops in the east this year are!

Unlike the West, this time it's not Kobe Bryant, but the Lakers player - Paul Gasol...

The momentum of the defending champion can be described as "extremely powerful"!

Other teams in the West can only look sideways.

Yao Ming is a little unlucky. From November to now, he has been running with him for 4 months. He is on the shortlist every month, but he can't win the final "Best Player of the Month Award".

only…

Wade, who just won 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" and guarded "the best player in the East in February".

Seriously, with the flanks of Raja Bell and Michael Pietrus, plus the help of Li Wan and Howard in defense, one of them is considered a breakthrough player. pregnancy.

At the end of the game, Wade scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists with a 33.3% shooting percentage, and the data were basically lower than his usual.

Another five mistakes were made.

Cook dragged his luck, hitting 5 three-pointers tonight.

Previously, he "fighted openly and secretly" with Conley. Although Kapono was used as a backdrop for the All-Star weekend, the three-point stability did come up.

After the All-Star Game, he averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game, and the three-point shooting rate was 40.1%!

He is the most reliable outside shooter in the Heat team's current lineup.

If this performance continues, it is estimated that Cook will no longer be marginalized by Spoelstra as he was originally...

The level of the league's bench players is actually similar to that of the edge water dispenser. It is nothing more than a question of whether the coach wants to use it, whether he 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 dazzling part of this game is his confrontation with Cook.

Had it not been for him three times in response to Cook's 3-pointer, the Heat would have likely narrowed the gap during that time. Tonight's Magic won't seal the game in the middle of the fourth quarter.

On March 7, the Magic team, who had been wandering outside for a while, finally returned to Orlando.

After only four or five hours of sleep, Li Wan got up early, waited for Tai Lun, and...

Sam Gold!

This former Kobe Bryant friend, the former CBA star who helped Kobe polish the dribble last summer, is now close to semi-retirement. According to his original life trajectory, he will soon go to Shanxi on the other side of the ocean and become the coaching staff of the Shanxi team. a member of .

Li Wan came to him, naturally, to learn to control the ball...

Or in other words, find this ball-handling master and help him solve some ball-handling problems...

In the battle with the Celtics, Li Wan felt the "best defense" level of defenders, that excellent defensive adaptability.

At the last moment, although Li Wan relied on a temporary whimsical "Worship Buddha" to shake Rajon Rondo away, he completed the dunk.

But the playoffs are more pertinent. If Li Wan wants to use "Worship Buddha" as a connection and change of his "back dribbling and jumping", he must have a master of ball control to teach him a few tricks.

He gave Tyron a list, and the person who could be contacted the fastest was none other than Sam Gold.

At that time, he got the attention of the outside world with a "direction-changing stunt" named after him.

It is no exaggeration to say that at 1.86 meters, he became an NBA player by relying on steady dribbling. Of course, after arriving in the NBA, the team found out that he could dribble and only dribble, and kicked him again...

Li Wan said his question, and Sam Gold quickly understood.

"Error correction" work started.

Because of the "back-to-back" games played in the previous several away games, the Magic team's training will not start until more than 2 pm today.

During these hours in the morning, Li Wan followed Sam Gold and continued to improve.

The dribbling thing, don't look at it, it's just basic skills, but starting from studying McGrady's video, Li Wan found that there are actually many doorways in it. With a little improvement, whether it is ball control stability or anti-interference, it can be greatly improved. .

Including, the fluency of the articulation!

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 physical fitness and other hardware facilities, it is definitely better than Sam Gold.

Therefore, in one morning, he not only solved some difficulties in the connection of moves, but also got a new direction-changing skill: Sam Gold.

Open the proficiency panel...

Breakthrough with the ball (McGrady version) proficiency: 71;

Layup and rebounding (Irving version) proficiency: 86;

Layup (Irving Advanced) Proficiency: 86;

Passing (Jason Williams Version) Proficiency: 80;

Ball-handling rhythm (Jason-Williams version) proficiency: 85;

Escape with the ball (Crawford version) proficiency: 80;

Sam Gold (authorized) proficiency: 60;

It can be seen that McGrady's version of the ball-handling breakthrough can't rise at all, and the other items are because they have almost reached the top of Li Wan's current talent that can be tapped, and the increase has also become much slower.

However, judging from Li Wan's use of these moves on the field...

That's enough!

After a short break at noon, I went to the arena in the afternoon, and Stan Van Gundy directly arranged the tactics with the Suns tomorrow.

The Phoenix Suns are currently ninth in the Western Conference.

After the All-Star weekend, Steve Nash and Stoudemire completely opened up and the season was "reimbursed".

Shaq O'Neal was left alone to lead the team.

"Shark" proved it at the time, what is "the old man talking about the teenage madness".

On February 19, in the game with the Raptors, Shaq scored 45 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block!

Become the "oldest player" to get this data.

Chris Bosh was hit by a "fatal blow."

He was abused in the game, and after the game, Shaq O'Neal rode his face to output: "Just what do you know about the three-second zone?"

Bosh no fxxk said.

Kevin Garnett has to bow his head when he sees Shaq, what can he do as "Little Garnett"?

At most, draw a circle and curse him...

20 pounds more fat!

So fierce, Stan Van Gundy naturally has to target hundreds of millions of shots.

After Li Wan listened to Stan Van Gundy's tactical arrangement, there were only four words in his mind: Shaq is finished!

"Bah!"

"Ho **** ho ho!"

Are you sick!

The next night, the game went into the second half.

Pushing open the defender and dunking abruptly, Shaq O'Neal seemed to be back in 2003, but there was no joy on his face when he landed.

Instead, his chest heaved violently.

Cursing inside.

He glanced at Stan Van Gundy next to him.

Would love to get him a "Jeff Leg Hold" package!

Haven't been beaten by a "shark"?

Why does the fat man make it difficult for the fat man!

No wonder he was more or less irritable...

After playing the Raptors, all the opponents of the Suns listed him as "the most dangerous person in the Suns", and all kinds of pressing double-teams made him feel like he was back in 2002.

It turns out that time really does not pass!

Originally tonight, he also thought that the Magic would be a "pressing" package to test his ability to break pressing.

Can result...

Glancing at Stan Van Gundy, not even a second.

Shaq O'Neal struggled to lift his elephant legs and ran toward his defense.

A few figures rushed past him like lightning.

All the Magic players.

The first time he slammed the dunk, Howard grabbed the ball that fell 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 the pee would shake at the end, and Shaq had to pause when he landed.

Just this pause...

The Magic team has already completed the serve, and even almost finished the fast break!

It was fine in the beginning, Shaq O'Neal ran with his feet and was able to barely keep up with the rhythm of the fast break.

But gradually, he couldn't take it anymore...

It was only 5 minutes and 14 seconds into the third quarter of the game, and Shaq returned to the Suns defense at the fastest speed, and could only catch up with the serve.

Sometimes, even Dragic, who has the ball, has to wait for him for a while with the ball.

Li Wan looked at his bitter look.

Secret thought: Sure enough, only the fat man knows 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 of the fourth quarter, Shaq finally died, and beckoned to Gentry next to him to let him down.

Gentry looked at him trembling, just like the old man in his seventies and eighties...

Unable to bear it, he waved his hand and put him off the field.

The Suns lacked the main force on the offensive end and could no longer 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 of 15 points and 7 rebounds.

He decided to go home and frame the data sheet.

It's definitely the toughest stat he's gotten in his entire career.

At the same time, a thought came into his mind: I want to lose weight!

March 10, March 12, March 14…

The Magic won all three of their next home games.

Before they knew it, they re-played a 5-game winning streak.

In this 5-game winning streak, Li Wan averaged 24.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1 block per game. He averaged 48.4% shooting from the field, 43.2% on three-pointers, and 89.1% on free throws!

Both the data and the efficiency are very good, which also makes him the Eastern Conference "Player of the Week Award" in the second week of March.

Among them, in the game against the Nets on March 12, he scored 34 points on 55% shooting, which was the highest single-game score in these games.

Yi Jianlian also performed very well in this game, scoring 18 points.

It was his sixth straight game with double-digit scoring.

And the number of consecutive battles has reached 18, and it has been almost a month without injury!

The Nets front office is ecstatic...

His state has gradually stabilized, and the latest Western Conference Player of the Week award belongs to Yao Ming, who averaged 25.4 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game...

Not to mention how happy the domestic fans are during this period of time!

March 15.

New Orleans.

A luxury residential building.

2:30 am.

Chris Paul woke up suddenly on the bed, and at the same time his wife Jada Clare next to him.

Jada was in a daze, but looking at Chris Paul's sweaty appearance, he immediately thought of something, put his hand around Chris Paul's waist, and said distressedly, "Did you dream of Li Wan again?"

Chris Paul nodded.

Jada showed a "that's true" expression.

Since the All-Star Game, Chris Paul has often dreamed of the scene when Li Wan knocked him down, hit a lore, and then reached out to him to help him up...

This probably is…

6th time!

The matchup in that round has become 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.

2:30 in the morning.

It was indeed game day.

Who are you calling today?

He covered his head and thought.

Seems like... the Utah Jazz.

Deron Williams…

"…"

"Jada, honey, bring me the melatonin by my bed..."

Chris Paul felt that it would be hard for him to fall asleep tonight if he didn't take a slice.

Breathing slowly...

Chris Paul is asleep.

And in Los Angeles, which is nearly 1,000 kilometers away.

4:30 in the morning.

A certain man hadn't slept yet, he was looking at the text messages sent by his friends on his mobile phone.

—Hey, bro, your little brother's ball-handling talent is so good, 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 catching up with me? Are you serious?

- You know, I'm never kidding, he's really solid on the ball, which is better than you. No way, people do have talent, hands, um, you know...

- Break up!

This is the last sentence of Kobe's reply, in exchange for a string of laughter onomatopoeia from Sam Gold.

Staring at his hands unhappily for a long time, Kobe opened the quilt to get up to wash up and go to the arena early for training.

He will let Sam Gold know what it means to "control the ball with a small hand" and what it means to "make up for the poor with diligence"!

However, this Los Angeles is really too crowded!

He couldn't bear to let him get up so early every day and go to the gym for training.

After getting into the car from his own parking lot, Kobe was suddenly attracted by the sound of the sky. He tilted his head and glanced through the front glass of the car.

It's a low-flying helicopter...

Kobe Bryant shines!

This seems like a good choice!

The sky in Los Angeles is getting brighter...

Li Wan woke up at Taylor's house, reached out and touched the half-wet sheet, took the napkin next to it, and rubbed it.

Last night there was a torrent in Los Angeles that only Li Wan knew about...

Taylor, who was next to him, had already left the bed empty.

Although they have become lovers, I know that Taylor told him that they would leave early the next day.

Can…

For Li Wan, who was used to leaving early, there was an inexplicable feeling of losing.

So, at Staples Arena that night, Li Wan cleaned up "Round Face Deng" and "Old Cat" Mobley one by one.

The cheers from the sidelines came one after another...

Yes!

That's right!

Just cheers!

Although this game is the home court of the Clippers.

But in Los Angeles, the Clippers can have hundreds of fans, which is considered a lot. The reason for the full crowd tonight is not only that this is Los Angeles, but also that the Clippers are playing 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 is still beautiful...

Don't look at it for more than half a year, but the movement he caused and the impact it caused are beyond the reach of many players who have been here for four or five years.

Odom: ? ? ?

Love this stuff, no matter the time...

Li Wan's excellent performance tonight is naturally what they want to see.

only…

I don't know how long it will last...

Li Wan is looking forward to the scene when he comes to Staples in June this year.

On March 17 and March 18, the Magic ushered in their last "back-to-back" of the season.

First in Sacramento, scrambled for the No. 1 pick for the Kings and "added bricks and mortar" to easily win the next ride;

Going to Charlotte again to "help others" helped them end their 3-game losing streak, and most importantly, kept their hopes of entering the playoffs.

When the Magic team left, the Bobcats fans couldn't wait to pull a banner to say goodbye.

Some teams fail in the finals; some teams succeed as long as they can make it to the playoffs…

This is the NBA's "everything".

"Shh!"

Chris Paul dodged in the air, dodged the Timberwolves' inside shot, and successfully scored the ball.

This is his 36th point in the game and the 16th point difference the Hornets have opened!

In the end, the Hornets won 110-88 easily.

Chris Paul scored a season-high 40 points in the game.

Plus 12 assists...

The rising star of the Timberwolves, Randy Foye, who can average 16.3 points and 4.3 assists per game this season, was completely blown away by him.

Not just on offense.

On the defensive end, he also allowed Randy Foye, who is known for his personal scoring ability, to only get 10 points, in addition to being stolen 2 times, and a total of 6 turnovers.

When the final whistle blew, he bowed his head in frustration.

Chris Paul didn't have him in his eyes. He stared at the camera in front of him, his eyes full of determination.

The next game for the New Orleans Hornets will be a challenge at home against...

Li Wan and his magic team!

He had his last chance to break the nightmare this season...

He absolutely 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 Chris Paul, who is in good shape, succeed in revenge? 》

"Meeting for the first time 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 discussion before the game.

Near the end of the season, the general pattern of the league has been finalized, and it is difficult to change.

At the same time, it has also led to the current competition being 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 is completely in line with the conditions for the "hot game" at the end of the season.

Originally, it was enough to make people look forward to the meeting between the sharp-edged supernova Li Wan and Chris Paul, who was about to be crowned the "League's No. 1 point guard" in the past two years.

The same thing happened at the All-Star Game.

It makes the fate of the two people entangled together...

Li Wan also learned from the report that Chris Paul's best performance last night.

However, he is not very worried about the matchup with Chris Paul. At most, he can't limit the opponent, but Chris Paul should not try to limit him.

In the past few days, Li Wan has a deeper understanding of the action of "worshiping Buddha"...

Change more tricks!

Naturally, I have more confidence in my own offense with the ball...

but…

Li Wan thought about it, and it seems that he doesn't need to be so troubled when dealing with Chris Paul. What's the point? Just turn your body to the side and be reckless!

To his surprise, Stan Van Gundy came to ask him: "Do you want to arrange more singles tactics for you tomorrow?"

He also read outside reports.

I found that many media are discussing the possibility that Li Wan has squeezed out Chris Paul to become the "first point guard in the league"!

Although Li Wan does not belong to the traditional No. 1 position, but…

Who let him play the number one position!

Regarding Li Wan's status in the arena, Stan Van Gundy felt that he could sacrifice the team and highlight Li Wan as a person!

This is his full love for Li Wan!

Li Wan waved his hand without hesitation: "No, finish them early, clock in and get off work in three quarters! I still have to save my strength to beat the Celtics!"

On March 24th, the Magic will be at home, and will usher in the last game of the regular season with the Celtics this season.

Right now, they are still one game behind the Celtics.

If they lose, the Magic will lose the No. 1 spot in the East.

This is a game about the top of the Eastern Conference standings.

Of course, it is much more important to be able to beat Chris Paul in terms of data!

Stan Van Gundy listened to his answer, smiled, and looked satisfied.

Years later, Van Gundy wrote an autobiography in which he mentioned...

Li Wan is the most responsible player I have ever seen!

The story as proof is the conversation between him and Li Wan at this moment...

It officially arrived on March 22.

A lot of fans came to the New Orleans Arena, cheering for Chris Paul!

Li Wan entered the arena amidst the boos, and shouted at a fan who was booing next to him: "Be louder, haven't you eaten yet? Do you want me to sign your autograph and eat a different hamburger?"

The reaction of the fans made Li Wan a little dumbfounded...

He actually nodded!

Seeing that guy holding Li Wan's autograph, he was ecstatic, the Hornets fan next to him gave a "tsk" with disdain, then turned his head and shouted towards Li Wan, who was walking away, "I want it too! I want it too! !"

Hey, my **** popularity!

Li Wan shook his head in distress and refused: "You know, I'm here to **** Chris!"

Then it sparked even more angry boos from those fans.

Hehe~ fans!

Before entering the field, Li Wan poked out his ears. He patted Howard next to him: "Dwight, do you think these fans are too excited?"

Howard looked around foolishly, nodded in approval, and looked at Li Wan with the expression "You can do what you say, buddy supports you".

Li Wan tugged at his sky blue sleeves, and then he said to everyone else in the starting lineup, "Break them down in the first quarter, guys!"

His overall status with the Magic now has clearly changed again.

Following his words, the eyes of others were also a little more eager to try...

Hornets' starting lineup:

Chris Paul at No. 1, Messenger Butler at No. 2, Peja at No. 3, David West at No. 4, Hilton Armstrong at No. 5;

Messenger Butler is a quintessential 3-and-D player, known for his three-point shooting and defense.

This concept was recently formally proposed by some experts…

To some extent, the increasing popularity of 3D players is also a sign that the times are transitioning to the "small ball era".

The first time Li Wan saw the adjective "3D player" in the newspaper, he felt that the wheels of the times were rolling again.

Hilton Armstrong started the season as a backup for the Hornets, and Tyson Chandler was out for the season, making him the Hornets' starting No. 5 after the All-Star break.

His style and strength can be simply described as a weakened version of Tyson Chandler in all aspects.

Plus David West and Peja...

The Hornets played the same way as the Suns in the previous two years. They all relied on the mobilization of the No. 1 position. Others mainly relied on "eat pie" 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 in the pick-and-roll, he successfully got rid of Chris Paul.

Russell Butler next to him immediately made up for the defense.

He has a height of 2 meters 01, and the wingspan of the striker can easily supplement defense.

In the face of pick-and-rolls, Chris Paul often takes a way around screens because of Messenger's trustworthy defensive ability.

But the first time he made it up, Li Wan barely moved his hand, and he flicked the ball with his fingers to pass the ball straight into Raja Bell's hand.

Russell didn't realize that Li Wan had passed the ball until the ball was released.

Such a hidden and beautiful pass, thanks to the guidance of Jason Williams.

Li Wan's fingers are flexible now, and Taylor exclaimed "I can't stand it".

Raja Bell, who was in the open position, raised his hand and shot, and the ball was caught.

Rasoul 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 called the pick-and-roll.

Wesley came out, and Howard followed. —Stan Van Gundy's setup for this game, no matter who goes out to Chris Paul's pick-and-roll. All stopped by Howard.

Lewis deals with guys at the rim.

Avoid his mobility to delay Chris Paul in time.

Don't look at how small this guy is, when he rushes up, he is as fast as a "big black mouse", and it is really difficult to intercept ordinary insiders.

Paul looked at the situation and threw the ball towards the basket without hesitation. Armstrong was 2.11 meters tall, and Lewis was only 2.08 meters tall, not a muscular insider.

Armstrong could have eaten him raw by force.

Anyway, the original Tyson Chandler can do it...

The "substitute" Armstrong did not disappoint his eldest brother. He pushed Lewis away at once, and raised his hand to send the ball to the basket.

The Magic No. 23 rushed out next to him and slapped the ball off.

Armstrong is averaging 0.4 assists per game.

Take a water glass to describe his passing ability, a drop in it is too much.

After getting the ball, all he could see was the basket.

Li Wan "stealed the hat" and slapped the ball on top of Lewis' head. The latter grabbed it and quickly gave the ball to Li Wan after Li Wan landed.

Chris Paul rushed over, took advantage of the chaos of the crowd, took the initiative to exert force with both hands, and caught the referee in a blind spot.

Li Wan is not surprised...

As expected of you, "dirty" Paul!

To say that this 183 has no defensive ability?

There must be!

In the end entered the "best defense" 5 times.

But let's say this guy's defense is dirty...

That's for sure!

In the No. 1 position, the dirtier than him may be Stockton, who currently ranks first in the history of assists.

That one is even more heavyweight.

What "Monkey Stealing Peach" came from, it took a lot to play...

Chris Paul wasn't that heavy on taste, and he wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp, with all sorts of dirty moves.

Li Wan was pushed and swayed by him. From the referee's point of view, it was Chris Paul who held him back.

Paul's core strength is also well-known at the number one position.

They are not strange.

Li Wan immediately lowered his center of gravity, turned his body sideways, and slammed his shoulder hard.

This time it was CP3's turn to stumble.

Li Wan seized the opportunity and rushed past him directly.

5 on 4 in the frontcourt!

Li Wan grabbed the ball with one hand at 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 that no one came up to make up the defense, he immediately jumped up and "fired the sky" fiercely. Hit hard!

5-0!

Looking back, Chris Paul is fouling the referee!

Li Wan gave him a thumbs up: I really have you...

He always thought that he had thick skin, but compared with Chris Paul at this moment, he is simply a newcomer who just came out of the society!

The skin is as thin as a membrane.

Um…

Do not misunderstand!

I'm talking about cell phone film.

Chris Paul chose his singles this time.

Li Wan kept in front of him and let him go inside.

Chris Paul was on the move when he suddenly realized something was wrong...

Why not double-team on the other side!

This made him plunge headlong into the basket, then reluctantly passed the basket and walked to the perimeter...

Who would have thought that at this moment, Chris Paul suddenly "turned back and digged", hooked his hand and sent the ball to the backboard.

It looked like a cricketer scored.

Howard slapped the ball away.

The ball hit the backboard and flew out. Li Wan, who followed Howard, took it.

"I knew you were going to do this!"

Howard shook his head triumphantly.

The back view of Chris Paul dribbling the ball from the basket just now reminded him of the All-Star weekend.

Chris Paul had a similar goal at the time.

Can the same trick be used twice?

I Dwight - Saint Seiya - Howard can not agree!

Paul chased Li Wan back to defense a little depressed.

He is puzzled...

Steve Nash can always use this trick to steal points...

Why can't it come to me?

If he asked Steve Nash about this, the latter would definitely smile like the master: "If the sky falls, will it hit you or me first?"

"Breaking you... oh, Steve, are you saying I haven't had enough?"

"No, I'll just say you're too short!"

With such a height, don't think about layups, just obediently throw shots from the outside!

Especially in the face of a highly mobile insider like Howard...

Li Wan delivered the ball quickly in the frontcourt. Turkoglu ran over Peja to complete the empty cut, held the ball in his hand, and scored the ball "three steps slower"!

Armstrong clapped his hand on the ball as it fell.

"beep!"

Jamming the ball!

7-0!

Armstrong spread his hands helplessly. He was already running very fast, but he still didn't have time to make up the defense.

Compared to Tyson Chandler's defensive speed, he is really far behind.

Chris Paul looked at the "Tan" in front of him and couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Tyson Chandler sitting off the court.

Even though he is in front of him, he misses him so much...

This is probably the longest distance in the world!

7-0!

Chris Paul looked at the bright red and dazzling score, and it was clear that what he had to do now was to score quickly and break the scoring drought!

He shook his head, tossed away his distracting thoughts, and after facing Li Wanyitong's continuous dribbling, he suddenly made an emergency stop and made a jumper. Li Wan did not lose his position, but the ball still got into the basket.

This is a demonstration of pure personal scoring ability!

The score came to 2-7.

The Magic team was not affected at all and launched an attack quickly. Li Wan went to the frontcourt, and Turkoglu on the flank ran to catch the ball. While Li Wan hit the ball to him, he rushed to the inside.

Turkoglu, who got the ball, quickly passed the ball back to Li Wan.

Chris Paul tried to dig a bit from behind. Li Wan always noticed that he was following behind him. When he got the ball, he immediately dribbled it with the other hand and rushed to 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 the counterattack.

9-2 up!

The already dead audience was showing some signs of recovery after Chris Paul hit such a handsome individual attack.

As a result, in just a few seconds, it became lifeless again.

The expressions of the other members of the Hornets are also a bit ugly...

He was panting so hard that the game was only a few minutes into the game. As an NBA player, no matter what, it was impossible for it to be so bad.

They gasped so much, not because of their physical weakness, but because of the pressure from the Magic team!

From the very beginning of this game, the Magic played very aggressively on both ends of the floor…

Moreover, they have been accelerating their attack tempo, not giving them a chance to breathe at all!

in addition…

ESPN commentator Mike Breen, who explained the game, said: "The Hornets' offense relies too much on Chris Paul's sudden points. Once the opponent has someone who can deal with Chris Paul alone, then the rest of the Hornets will Not helping Chris Paul at all..."

As he was talking, David West ran up to the high post with the ball.

As a stocky 4, West has a very good ability to hold the ball in singles, and he has the ability to break through with the ball that is rare in the 4.

His career-high average of 21 points per game this season comes from his improvement on the ball!

But in the face of Howard, who has terrible athletic ability, he is best at turning and jumping hooks, and he can't see the basket at all.

"Bang" sound!

David West shot, and the iron was over.

Mike Breen added reassuringly: "Including David West!"

Armstrong grabbed the offensive rebound for the first time, but when he was looking for someone, he was slapped and cut off by Li Wan!

On the sidelines, Hornets head coach Byron Scott was speechless, dragging his cheeks. He didn't know if he was so angry that his cheeks hurt, or if he was trying to maintain his image so as not to yell.

He actually knew that it was really difficult for Armstrong to play such a high-end game.

The Magic's defensive pressure, how can he adapt so quickly as a perennial small bench.

He can understand Armstrong, but the Magic don't feel bad about their ability to fight at all. In 9 seconds, Li Wan, who broke through to the inside line, blocked the ball to the flank beyond the three-point line. The Turk continued to transfer the ball to Lewis in the bottom corner.

Three point hit!

This time it's 12 to 2!

In less than 5 minutes, the Magic had already opened a 2-digit score.

Byron Scott stopped expecting the Hornets to recover on their own and called a timeout.

When Li Wan came off the court, he gave his teammates a high five and looked around at the bench.

The brand new "New Orleans Library" is up!

Some New Orleans fans couldn't stand the silence anymore, so they silently left their seats and walked into the fan tunnel, apparently planning to leave.

Chris Paul took a deep breath and looked at what Scott wrote on the tactical board. He seemed dissatisfied. He took the tactical board and began to arrange tactics.

As the Hornets' only 2-point winner in this game, UU Kanshu www. uukanshu.com His voice is great!

The others just watched without saying a word.

The atmosphere on the Magic's side is a lot happier, and Stan Van Gundy just briefly talked about the changes. - That's all nitpicking.

The Magic were in a state as soon as they came up today...

Looking at the Magic players with excited expressions in front of them, Stan Van Gundy was worried whether the Hornets' small body could handle 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 were not very good. It took less than two months to get the boutique. Thank you for your support.

After all, after so many things, NBA articles have such a big handicap at the starting point...

In addition, I didn't write it quietly. I didn't take it seriously at first, but several people have come to say it recently. I feel it is necessary to say something, so as not to refute the rumor, I am somewhat embarrassed.
