The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chris Paul, the passing master, the league's strongest point guard, top assists, on-court coach, point expert, and strongest defensive point guard... There are so many things about this number 3. Many reputations.

Many people even said: "As long as you have Chris Paul, the head coach can sit on the bench with peace of mind and watch the game."

However, among Paul's many titles, almost no one would say: "Chris Paul is a super scorer."

Indeed, looking at Paul's career statistics, he only averaged more than 20 points per game in two seasons. Don't say anything because Paul is the number one, and now this league is averaging 20 points per game. The most typical example is the Thunder's Westbrook and Rose who are fighting Henson on the court at this time, and the Cavaliers' Kyrie Irving estimates that next season's scoring average can easily approach 20.

Times are different. There are few point guards such as Paul's point guards, but more offensive point guards, such as powerful "bombs" like Rose and Westbrook. Under the explosive performance of these new-generation point guards, Paul often gives the illusion that his scoring ability is not strong enough.

Well, Henson called it an illusion.

Although Paul is not like those perverts who constantly bombard the opponent with 40+ points at every turn, it is not Kobe's 62 points in three quarters and 81 points in a single game. But this doesn't mean that Paul won't score, just because Paul prefers to direct offense. He chose other ways to help the team win.

But when the team needs him to score, when his head coach also asks him to score. Paul will let everyone realize that once a traditional point guard starts to score points, it is also very crazy!

Rose and Brewer are still working hard. Just after Brewer assisted Rose to throw in a three-pointer, Rose "returned the game" and assisted Brewer to score a three-pointer.

The Bulls' offense has never been smooth and efficient. If the Pacers met Rose suddenly and started to exert force last season, they would have lost control.

But today is different, when the Bulls thought they were about to take the lead, about to take control of the game. Paul then dribbled the ball past Rose with a pretty beautiful back change, went straight to the basket, and layup on Noah's rough defensive drawdown.

The basketball enters the net with ease, and the referee's whistle sounded for a three-pointer! The Bulls just made a three-pointer and was immediately returned by Paul, which undoubtedly hurt morale.

Noah is still complaining to the referee, but Paul has already started high-fiving his teammates.

The camera gave the "Queen Bee" a close-up. Since the start of the game, this man has not let go of his frowning brows. The save at the beginning of the game was just a warning. Now, Paul will let you know what is the determination to win!

Standing on the free throw line, in the quiet environment created by Pacers fans for Paul, Paul easily made a free throw. For Paul's free throws, Henson didn't have to worry about it. In the past two seasons, Paul’s free throw percentage has approached 90%, which means that as long as he is sent to the free throw line, it is basically equivalent to sending points.

"Tsk!" Thibodeau gritted his teeth, and finally his attack came out, but the Pacers were able to continue.

Last season, the Pacers did not have such a strong attack point. Whether it's Granger or Holiday, they are still not quasi-first-line superstars, and sometimes it may not be so timely to score a tough battle.

But at this time, Thibodeau faced Chris Paul!

After that, Rose went into the penalty area with an almost suicidal non-deceleration change, and scored the ball in a head-on with Horford.

This shot made Henson shocking, because not slowing down and changing direction would definitely cause huge damage to the knee. Rose has been playing and stopping this season, but his style of play has no intention of converging.

Rose scored again, and the Bulls have already scored consecutively. The Bulls' defense is still based on cutting off the pass and receiving route.

Paul didn't slowly pass halftime this time, because his task is not to organize, but to impact, to score!

Young Rose opened his arms and faced the player who claimed to be the best player in the league. Unlike Rose’s unreasonable and non-decelerating change of direction, Rose suddenly shook his upper body during high-speed advancing. After deceiving Rose to move laterally, he had a sudden stop. With a twist of his wrist, he pulled the basketball that was originally shot to the left. Back to the right!

A one-handed change using the fine work on the wrist! There is no doubt that this sudden change of direction and rhythm made Rose lose his defensive position. Paul passed by Ross like a gust of wind, just between the flashes of lightning, the Bulls' defense has been cut through!

Paul rushed towards the penalty area, and Noah and Boozer were both ready. But Paul suddenly stopped with a bad luck at the moment he was about to hit the basket, and then made a jump shot from close range.

This sudden change in rhythm caused Noah and Boozer to react directly. Although Rose tried his best to arrive, the interference was still a step slower. What's more, this is a close-range jumper. At this distance, Paul almost never misses!

Score consecutively! From the start of the second half to the present, the Pacers' scoring is handled by Paul. Now Paul is no longer the master of court control, and no longer the coach on the court who demonstrates his passing art in the seams.

He is now a scorer, a star to compete with Rose, a star!

Want to bring down my team with personal ability? Then you have to ask if I can answer or not! At this time, Paul undoubtedly showed this courage.

The most frightening thing is that Paul is completely free to switch among the roles of passer, defender and scorer, plug and play!

Henson feels very comfortable at this time, this is the change after the team has a superstar! From then on, the Pacers no longer have to fear that the opposing superstar will suddenly go wild and win the game unreasonably. Because of us, we also have our own superstars!

In the third quarter of the game, the fans enjoyed it very much. The battle between Rose and Paul made the second half seem to change the two teams to play again.

Rose, who made only 2 points on 9 shots in the first half, scored 8 points in the third quarter. At the same time, his breakthrough points also gave Noah and Brewer many easy scoring opportunities.

Almost all the Pacers' wins against the Bulls last season were based on the condition that they restricted Rose.

However, today, when Rose played a bottoming out and led the Bulls to a 33-point offense in a single quarter, the Pacers still led the Bulls by 5 points!

They were not defeated again. Chris Paul's 15 points in a single quarter allowed the Pacers to firmly control the situation at home from start to finish!

"15 points in a single quarter, God, is this the Chris Paul we know!? He used his subtle shaking to chop people and scored many points. The Bulls defender is in Paul. Maybe it’s just wooden stakes! At the same time, Paul has now 7 assists. Although there is still a whole quarter of the game not played, the Queen Bee has almost booked a double-double!"

Mike Brin said nothing about the outstanding performance of Rose, because Paul will undoubtedly completely grab the limelight of the youngest MVP in the third quarter!

At this time, Brin suddenly remembered the picture of Henson whispering in Paul's ear before the start of the second half.

Sure enough, when these two extremely smart guys start to add something together, the Pacers opponent is very dangerous.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Bulls showed no signs of reversing the situation. After the unsuccessful recovery in the third quarter, Rose's state seems to be low again. He was eager to score, so he became obsessed with singles with the ball. But Paul is by no means a defensive point that can be broken just by singles.

Brewer and Lor Deng are still working hard, but these two are only Rose's deputy after all, they do not have the ability to determine the outcome of the game.

After entering the rotation lineup, Leonard has played his own strike. And, a high-handed layup that runs through the entire defense of the Bulls. Leonard's horrible wingspan can not only be used on the defensive end.

In the third quarter, Paul suppressed Rose. By the fourth quarter, the Bulls seemed to have lost their spirits. The point difference has been fluctuating around 7 points. The less time, the less hope for the Bulls.

Rose can't kill the Pacers, and Boozer and Noah have lost the advantage they had last season.

Thibodeau has no way to sit on the bench. There is a terrible fact that makes this defensive idiot feel extremely disappointed.

This year, the Pacers have surpassed the current Bulls in terms of overall strength and talent...
