Before the game, ESPN made a comparative analysis of the strength of the two teams, which was agreed by many people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

ESPN：

"Sean Lee and Chris Paul, the highly anticipated point guards, have performed very well in the NBA, and experts generally predict that these two have a 50% chance of becoming All-Star level members and a 10% chance of becoming superstars, and the matchup between the two has also attracted a lot of attention. For point guards, a big part of what led the team to victory was not themselves, but their teammates, so we did a simple analysis of the lineups of both teams. ”

"The only Hornets players at any other position other than Chris Paul are power forward David West and J.R. Smith. Chris Anderson has been playing very well lately, but he's not a star player. ”

"As for the Eagles, in addition to Sean, they have Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Al Harrington, Zazapachulia and others. Zaza has been playing very well in the last few games, stronger than Chris Anderson, and although Al Harrington is unavailable due to injury, it is certain that the Hawks have a slightly better roster than the Hornets, and under the same conditions, Sean has received more help from his teammates. ”

…………

ESPN's analysis has been echoed by many people.

In fact, the Hornets and the Hawks are both dick teams, and there are no particularly good players at all. JR Smith is talented, he has been in the league for three years, and he is the same as a rookie, Josh Smith is also the same rookie, Joe Johnson and David West are a little more reliable, but Joe Johnson used to be the best sixth man of the Suns, and David West was injured last season and only averaged 8 points and 4 rebounds per game.

But when it came time to actually play, Sean found that ESPN's analysis was too nonsense.

This season, David West performed very well, averaging 19 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists per game as a starter in the first few games, and it felt like a blast, and at the beginning of this game, Sean felt so difficult to play.

At the start of the jump ball, Chris Anderson played very well and jumped smoothly to win.

Chris Paul is on offense, and Sean is ready to defend.

After this period of training, Sean's defense is not very outstanding, but relying on his height advantage, it is okay to restrict Paul a little, but after the game started, Chris Paul directly called for blocking.

David West, the little-known power forward, began to explode.

In the beginning of this season, David West's performance was considered to be in good shape, but in this game, Sean obviously felt that this was not the case at all, and David West's strength was very strong.

You can grab rebounds, shoot accurately, and pass the ball with one hand.

Paul assists David West to score easily.

The Hawks attacked, Sean felt very uncomfortable, and the defensive Sean was Rasur Butler, who was two meters tall, this player was very strange, two meters tall, good at shooting, very weak in confrontation, and the defensive disadvantage was obvious in the scoring guard and small forward positions. But when he met Sean, he was restrained, and Sean's height advantage was weakened, and as for confrontation, Sean was also the most lacking, so the advantage was not big.

When he met such a player, Sean was a little depressed.

Relying on his speed and breakthrough skills, Sean broke through Rasul Butler, but ...... David West and Chris Anderson are excellent defensively, David West is very good offensively and very good in helping to defend.

After entering the league for so long, the big forward with strong defensive ability, Sean only saw Duncan alone, although David West's awareness was much worse, but his defensive ability was definitely the third among the big forwards Sean had seen, and he was even better than Nowitzki.

I haven't seen any other great power forward in the league, but ...... This defensive ability has already made Sean jaw-dropping.

In the first ball, Sean relied on his speed to shoot before David West helped defend, but David West's ability to help defend surprised Sean.

When the second ball, Sean handed it to Zaza, something even more surprising happened, the Hornets' interior line, this season's suddenly rising center Chris Anderson, actually defended Zaza.

Although Zaza made a foul in the end, Chris Anderson's almost desperate playing momentum and attitude on the court startled Sean.

From the beginning, Sean discovered that the Hornets were nowhere near as good as he thought.

Not to mention anything else, David West and Chris Anderson on the inside are definitely both offensive and defensive, much better than the Hawks, as for the outside...... The Hornets are clearly weaker than the Hawks, but the Hawks don't have a heart.

Coach David Woodson had already laid out a strategy for Sean before the game, but this temporary change of tactics was not very good.

Josh Smith gave Sean a cover, the quality was quite poor, Sean could only barely shoot a three-point shot, and the result was that he was interfered with the three-point shot, and Chris Anderson grabbed the rebound under the basket.

Under the basket, Zazapachulia was completely intimidated by Chris Anderson's momentum.

Chris Anderson is not dirty, although the action is big, but the feeling of playing desperately cannot be wrong, which is completely different from Bruce Bowen's dirty, as long as you can feel it clearly on the court.

David West, Chris Anderson is not famous, and they don't have the heart to be the boss, they are all tightly united around Chris Paul, the whole team of the Hornets is cohesive, everyone plays to their strengths, and the Hawks ...... Hearts are not together at all.

Ten minutes into the game, Sean called a timeout.

The Eagles trailed by six points.

"Coach, change Brandon and play with me." Sean said this, David Woodson hesitated, and instead of replacing Josh Smith, who was not in good shape, he let him play small forward, and then let Brandonbass play power forward.

At the beginning of the game, Blandonbas made a block for Sean, and after the block, Blandonbas went straight down.

Sean went straight to the basket, David West helped defend in time, but Sean made a pass, and Brandonbas hit it from mid-range.

In the Eagles, Sean has the best relationship with Al Harrington and Brandonbass. Al Harrington is a funny young man, very different from other black players who are almost gangsters. Blandonbass is a different story, from the moment they entered the team, Blantonbas was the hardest working player except for Sean. Sean and Blantonbass rarely spoke, but there was an indescribable tacit understanding between the two.

When Bruce Bowen targeted Sean, only Blandonbass stepped forward and hit Bruce hard. The rest of the teammates didn't say anything at all.

This time in the Blandonbass game, the Hawks were in a slightly better situation.
