NBA: Two hands can’t carry championship rings

The Warriors all blossomed in the first half, while the Hornets relied more on Paul to score.

At halftime, the Warriors led 58:49, leading by 9 points.

Jordan became a surprise player on the court, and his appearance caught the Hornets' coaching staff by surprise.

This rookie moves quickly on the defensive end and has a large defensive area.

He also moves very fast and can easily keep up with Chandler and destroy the alley-oop connection between him and Paul.

On the offensive end, he has the same pie-eating level as Chandler, and the Warriors have two people who can feed him pie.

Hornets coach Scott thought that this newcomer was the same type of player as Chandler. After being accidentally beaten twice due to lack of preparation, Scott called Chandler to him and asked him to stay in the paint so that he did not have to keep up with the younger player. Jordan.

Look at this guy's technical characteristics, he definitely can't shoot, so it's fine to let him go.

Near the free throw line, Jordan was left open. Sure enough, he failed to make a mid-range shot.

The Hornets chose to shrink and continue to let Jordan go. As a result, Jordan continued to shoot without hesitation.

Mid-range shot near the free throw line���Jordan made the shot.

Scott didn't believe it and continued to shoot.

Facts have proved that Jordan can make 1 of 2 mid-range shots in wide open space.

With such a hit rate, the Hornets can't leave him open, and Chandler can only defend him.

Hornets coach Scott is overwhelmed. When did the Warriors' bench cultivate such a newcomer?

The offensive power of this newcomer is not a concern. It's easy to defend him, but the original tactical deployment will be changed because of him.

Old Nelson applauded on the sidelines. Jordan's performance exceeded his expectations.

Jordan scored 8 points in the first quarter, 6 of 8 shots in the first half, and got 12 points and 6 rebounds. He scored the second highest in the team, second only to Yue Yi's 14 points.

After the halftime break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

After being studied, Jordan didn't get many shots in the second half.

The Warriors didn't expect him to play a big role on the offensive end. His biggest role at present is to screen and roll for Yue Yi.

But with his presence, the Warriors' defensive power has been upgraded, even better than when the starting center Biedrins was there.

The inside combination of Jordan and Wallace not only effectively restricted West and Chandler, but also made it difficult for Chandler to take off in the Warriors' restricted area.

Wallace made it difficult for West to score.

This made the Hornets' overall offense stagnant.

On the Hornets side, they have never been able to restrict Yue Yi, the firepower point. They were not able to effectively restrict him in the last game, and the same was true in this game.

The Hornets once adopted double-teaming, but Yue Yi has a good passing skill.

He has the ability to pass the ball to the open player in the first hand under the double-team.

At the same time, he has another choice, passing the ball back to Kidd, who will quickly distribute it.

Kidd's ability to distribute the ball is even better than Yue Yi.

The Hornets played very uncomfortably throughout the game.

They could not restrict the Warriors' offense on defense.

On offense, Paul's own score was quite high, but the Warriors cut off the connection between him and his teammates.

The Hornets failed to close the score. In the second half, the Warriors always maintained a lead of more than 10 points, and the score difference was getting bigger and bigger.

In the end, the Hornets lost to the Warriors by a big score of 92 to 109.

The Hornets players quickly walked back to the locker room. They couldn't wait to return to New Orleans, to their home court.

The fans in Oracle Arena were too noisy and annoying.

The series was tied at 1:1, which the Hornets could accept.

With the home advantage in hand, if they can win the next two games at home, then it will be a 3:1 match point.

The advantage is mine.

Technical statistics after the game.

Yue Yi made 12 of 23 shots and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 30 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

Kidd's state warmed up in this game, making 6 of 13 shots, 14 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals.

Wallace had 11 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block.

Jackson had 17 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

Jordan, who started for the first time, did not play much on the offensive end in the second half, but with the surprise effect in the first half, he made 7 of 9 shots and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 15 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 blocks.

Belinelli, who was on the bench of the Warriors, also scored in double digits, with 11 points.

On the Hornets side, Paul made 12 of 29 shots and 7 of 8 free throws, scoring 34 points, 8 assists and 3 steals.

West had 17 points and 8 rebounds.

Chandler, who was in great form in the last game, only scored 7 points in this game, plus 11 rebounds and 2 blocks.

In this game, he was compared with the rookie Jordan, and was outperformed by a rookie.

This made Chandler lose face, and he was completely out of the spirit after the first game.

After the game, Yue Yi accepted a personal interview with ABC TV on the court.

Yue Yi said that he would continue to stay focused, maintain his aggressiveness on the court, and lead the team to win the series.

At the same time, he highly praised the performance of his teammates, saying that this was a team victory.

When asked how Yue Yi evaluated Kidd and Jordan's performance, Yue Yi replied: Kidd is experienced, and it is a blessing for the team to have him in the backcourt. He is very happy that Kidd adjusted his personal state in time and said that he has always been the soul of the team.

Jordan works very hard and is always ready to play. He hopes to contribute to the team. I am very happy that he got the opportunity and seized it.

After the interview, Ye Xun walked towards Yue Yi with a smile.

The cameras of the Chinese media immediately followed.

Yue Yi's national popularity in China is getting higher and higher, and Ye Xun is also a well-known big star. The contact between the two is a good material for reporters and media to write and shoot.

Ye Xun raised his head and asked with a smile:"Big star, how are you going to entertain me next?"

Yue Yi asked back:"How do you want me to entertain you?"

Ye Xun looked straight at Yue Yi and said ambiguously,"People are already in your territory, can't you do whatever you want?"

"Someone is taking pictures. A female celebrity like you who is single is not afraid of them reporting randomly?"

Yue Yi smiled kindly and politely.

"Writing about you and me, that doesn't matter." Ye Xun didn't care,"Go wash and change clothes, I'll wait for you in the living room."

After that, she walked away with a smile.

The team of Yue Yi's old friend Fang Mian was also filming there. Fang Mian came up and asked,"Handsome Yue, would you like me to do an exclusive interview with you and talk about the story you have to tell with Miss Ye?"

"Go away, she and I are innocent, don't write anything when you go back"

"Haha, you think others are blind, there must be something fishy going on. If you want me not to write nonsense, you have to reveal some small details of how you met her, so that my writing will be more credible."

"We met on a commercial, you can make up the rest yourself"

"Damn, don't go, talk more.……"

Fang Mian was shouting, but Yue Yi had already walked back to the locker room.
