Chapter 38: Paul, Queen Bee

fell behind in the first quarter, Qin Zheng's heart was very angry, but there was no way, who made him just a newcomer? He didn't have any way to blame the other three.

He can't and can't do it, let alone do it.

Anyway, now that the three of them are being scolded by Dunleavy, why do they need to be this bad guy themselves?

"If you three don't bring your brains with you today, give me back, and see what the three of you are doing? What about the tactics I've been emphasizing? What about the reasonableness that I've been emphasizing? Dunleavy stood and sprayed at the three players who had bowed their heads.

"Your sister's reasonableness, you think you are a reasonable teacher? When did you set up a tactic for the team? Qin Zheng complained in his heart.

Dunleavy is also boasting, his pre-game arrangement is basically to be resolute in attack, too tough in defense, and what tactics have been said.

Since Qin Zheng came to the Clippers, he has never seen what tactics Dunleavy has arranged, whether to play fast break or play half-court position, whether to insist on internal and external blocking or playing triangle offense.

In the end, Qin Zheng found out that Dunleavy's arrangement was that the players themselves cooperated at will.

Qin Zheng could see the tactical arrangement of the Hornets, and probably wanted to kick Dunleavy away.

"Chris, after the second quarter of the game, you have to play more resolutely, pass the ball to David and Peja when you have the opportunity, Emeka, if David catches the ball, you have to come up in time to block and dismantle, after blocking, you go to the basket, if David misses the shot, you are responsible for grabbing the rebound, if David doesn't shoot, you have to receive David's pass in time, Peja, you have to run more, if you can run out of space, Chris will definitely pass the ball to you. Devin, you also have to block Chris's in time, Gordon's change of defense is definitely not Chris's opponent, we have to play more resolute and decisive in the second quarter, Emeka, when you grab rebounds, you have to think more about the position, don't let the rebounds slip away from your head. Byron Scott said.

"Head, I think that newcomer's card position is too powerful, I'm not his opponent, my pace is not as fast as his, and when I want to get stuck in the position, I have been blocked by him." Okafor shrugged his shoulders helplessly, signaling that the newcomer was definitely open, not that Lao Tzu didn't work hard, but the other party had a plug-in.

"He's a newcomer, what are you afraid of, wrestling with him, don't be afraid." Byron Scott said to Okafor.

Okafor could only nod helplessly after hearing this, as for whether he could stop Qin Zheng or not, let's talk about it.

As the whistle sounded, I remembered that the second quarter of the game had begun.

The Clippers attacked for the first time, I don't know if it was Dunleavy's wild spray or other reasons, Davis honestly passed the basketball to Qin Zheng, and Qin Zheng's partner was Jordan Jr.

At this time, it was no longer West who defended Qin Zheng, but Okafor, which was also Byron Scott's arrangement, who made West's defense not as good as Okafor's, West's defense was not good, but now he went to defend Jordan Jr., and Jordan Jr. didn't have much offensive ability.

However, it quickly gave Byron Scott a slap in the face.

Qin Zheng leaned his back against Okafor, constantly making footsteps, but his eyes saw Little Jordan, and after a look, Little Jordan suddenly went straight to the basket, and at this time, Qin Zheng also turned around directly and jumped.

No, it's a pass.

Qin Zheng didn't shoot at the basket at all, but passed the ball to Little Jordan.

Although Little Jordan has no shooting ability, he has a great body, and he doesn't know how much better than defending him, so Qin Zheng plans to give Little Jordan an empty dunk.

"Bang!" Little Jordan jumped up before receiving Qin Zheng's pass, and took advantage of a powerful dunk, and the smashed basket continued to tremble.

"Good job, we'll do it next time!" When Qin Zheng found out that the player who defended him was replaced by Okafor, a defensive blue-collar worker, he changed his offensive strategy.

I no longer focus on attacking, just replace it with Little Jordan, a jumping man, and be responsible for defense myself.

Then when the Hornets attacked, Qin Zheng began to cover up the problem, his hands were like a dense net, covering the sky and the sun, and West couldn't find any space to shoot, so he had to pass the basketball to Paul on the outside.

He can only pass to Paul, it's not that he doesn't have the means to pass in, but Okafor is being entangled by Jordan Jr. at the moment!

Jordan Jr. knows his strengths, and he also knows that he can't beat Carman and Camby to get a chance to start, so he especially cherishes the time he plays.

Jordan Jr. is not stupid enough to go home, and he knows that Dunleavy values his defensive ability, not offensive ability, so he desperately defends the opposing player, regardless of the opposing player who is almost the same as him and has no shooting ability.

But where can little Jordan care about this.

The reason why Paul is Paul, the first point guard before he was injured, is mainly because of his strong playmaking ability and his personal offensive ability.

When his teammates have an offensive shooting opportunity, he will not hesitate to pass the basketball out and pass it to their hands, and when they don't have a chance, then play it himself, whether he has a chance or not, whether he has a chance or not, he has no chance to create a chance.

It is precisely because of this that Paul has become the core of the Hornets and has become the queen bee in the mouths of fans.

The little man from Wake Forest is growing at a leap pace to become the league's No. 1 point guard.

It was Davis who defended Paul, but after the block, Paul directly broke through Gordon, who switched defenses.

Not to mention Gordon, even Davis can't prevent Paul's breakthrough, and the only player who can prevent Paul is almost retired.

It was also a great little man, a little man of the same height as Paul.

After breaking through Gordon, Paul did not continue to go to the basket, but jumped directly, there were two big men Qin Zheng and Little Jordan under the basket, Paul knew that he was looking for death if he broke through.

"Huh!" Paul hits a hollow ball.

After the shot, the Hornets quickly retreated, leaving no room for the Clippers to counterattack.

The Clippers had no choice but to continue to pass the ball inside and play a half-court positional battle, and Qin Zheng and Jordan Jr. lived up to expectations.

You can often see Little Jordan jumping up and catching the buckle empty, and you can also see Qin Zheng's status hook.

However, the Clippers are not Qin Zheng's team after all, and they can't just let Qin Zheng attack alone, so every three or five times, Davis, Butler and Ayersotton will also shoot.

However, like the first quarter, the hand felt terrible, and the three people only hit two out of ten shots, so angry that Dunleavy directly replaced them.

Ricky Davis, Telfair and Novak were replaced, while Qin Zheng and Jordan Jr. were replaced by Carman and Camby.

By this time, the second quarter had already been played for seven minutes.

By the time the Clippers switched to five players, the game was finally a little better, at least not so bad from the outside.

The combination of Carman and Camby can still cause some lethality to the Hornets' interior line, but West has no Qin Zheng's defense, and in the face of Camby's big brush, he shoots more happily.

By the end of the second quarter, the Clippers had trailed by 13 points, ending the first half with a 52-65 score.

Chris Paul scored 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting, 2-of-3 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws, as well as eight assists and two steals.
