Chapter 1082: You Can Take 10 Points and Count Me Losing (Third Update!) )
The Hornets' offense, Rozier's pull-up jump shot after a single hit was still interfered with by Butler.
After the opening, he made four shots in a row, one was broken, three irons, and 0 of 4 shots!
In the NBA, judging whether a player is really capable cannot be judged by the data alone.
Data can sometimes be deceiving.
You have to watch the game and you have to see how well this player plays against high pressure.
Rozier's 20+5+5 stats look pretty good, but it's more because in the East, there is not much defensive pressure in many games.
And, in fact, aside from the stats themselves, his 39.8% shooting rate and 36% three-point shooting percentage are not good for a guard.
To put it bluntly, 7 consecutive defeats plus this hit rate is a big brush.
Jordan blew it there because of his stubbornness, and he didn't see anyone else, even Charlotte's media.
He's really much worse than Walker.
Walker was playing in the frontcourt, changing his body to receive the ball behind his back, and then turning 180 degrees in the air after the start and scoring a layup.
He was excited to fight, and everything came after the body opened.
Clifford, the head coach of the Hornets on the sidelines, looked helpless, touched his already slippery head, and reached out to signal the defense to make a substitution.
If Rozier continues to fight like this, he may really be beaten and autistic.
The Hornets replaced Batum to defend Walker, but it still didn't work well.
Although Batum is Walker's former teammate, he is a swingman at the guard, and he is the kind of small forward, and he is a little bit worse in speed.
In this section, Butler and Tang Tiangan made wedding dresses, and Walker became the absolute protagonist on the field.
Walker was in good shape after opening his body, and no one could stop him from shooting in this quarter, scoring 22 points in a single quarter, breaking his personal single-quarter scoring record!
One interesting thing is that Walker's previous single-quarter scoring record was 19 points, which was achieved by the Hornets.
And 19 points is also the Hornets' all-time single-quarter scoring record.
This Walker went to the Pelicans, and this is only the eighth game, and he has already broken this record.
The fans at the scene had mixed emotions.
Inside the VIP box.
Jordan took a hard puff on his cigar.
Today this cigar doesn't know what's going on, it's a bit bitter.
At the end of the first quarter, the Pelicans led the Hornets 33-11.
In the second quarter, the Pelicans' bench group made persistent efforts and stretched the margin to nearly 30 points under Brogdon's leadership.
The scene was also beaten agitated.
Although many of them came for the Pelicans, the Hornets were their home team after all, and the play was a little too brutal.
At the critical moment, Rozier, who shot 0 out of 7 in the first quarter, went on the court early and finally found some feeling on the court.
He first hit a difficult three-pointer from the outside against Brogdon's defense, and then took advantage of Zeller's block to hit a pull-and-shoot shot.
After scoring five points in a row, he helped the Hornets narrow the gap to within 25 points.
At this time, the two sides entered the rotation one after another, and the main players of both teams reappeared.
Tang Tianlai's trademark turn back and threw a goal to temporarily stabilize the situation on the field.
Rozier was in possession again, and his defender changed from Brogdon to Butler.
He also seems to have learned wisely, and instead of punching Butler, he reached out and motioned for Gilchrist to block himself.
Gilchrist is not as big as Kaminski, but is a bit faster.
Although it was still bypassed by Butler, it was still blocked.
Rozier's continuous scoring in front of him was also a little up, and at this moment he seized the opportunity to drill directly through the defense.
Dedmon on the inside came out to help defend, and Rozier directly threw a difficult throw after jumping.
Dedmon's defensive awareness was very good, and his defense was also in place, and he almost covered the ball when he blocked Rozier's shooting sight.
But the ball eventually went over the defence and landed in the pocket.
The referee's whistle followed suit, signaling that Dedmon had violated Rozier's shooting cylinder.
It's a 2+1!
The audience burst into cheers.
In this quarter, Rozier has already scored 7 points!
It's a bit like the new boss of the Hornets!
Rozier fell to the ground after making a shot, and after seeing the ball go in, he jumped up from the ground and rushed to the sideline with a chest beating roar that was quite excited.
The fans responded with even louder cheers.
After roaring, he looked at Walker even more proudly.
The expression was as if to say, "Look, I'm the King of Charlotte now."
Tang Tian walked up to Butler at this time and whispered for a while.
Rozier's penalty opportunity.
His hands were hot, and he hit the penalty steadily.
He swept away the decline in the first quarter, scoring 8 points on 3-of-3 shooting in this quarter, and his performance was eye-catching.
Inside the VIP box.
Jordan was still smoking a cigar.
Only then did he feel that the taste of the cigar had become sweeter.
He said that he is the god of basketball, and he can never be wrong with looking at people.
The Pelicans' offense, Walker's breakthrough layup missed.
When Rozier dribbled forward again, he felt like he was going to float.
"Come on! Hornets! ”
The scene also sounded neatly cheering.
When the score difference was almost 30 before, the team had basically collapsed.
But after Rozier scored 8 points in a row, the difference came to 20 points, which was completely played.
Although Davis is absent, if he accidentally wins against the Pelicans, then the Hornets and Rozier will really become gods.
The corners of Rozier's mouth went up, and he was very proud.
Then when he got to the front, his smile slowly put away.
The Pelicans have a defensive adjustment, and the person who guards him has changed again, from Butler to Tang Tian!
Tang Tian, five-time Defensive Player of the Year!
Aside from being the first person in the league, he is also the strongest defensive player in the league!
He floated back and forth, but his heart was still empty.
The shouts of the scene also slowly fell.
Tang Tian's aura is there, you expect Rozier to fight Tang Tian, everyone knows that it is a bit unrealistic.
Rozier also turned his head to look at the team, which was ready to play tactics again.
"If you can score 10 points, count me as losing."
But at this moment, Tang Tian said to him in a very calm tone.
It's not trash talk, not a single dirty word.
It's not even a provocation, after all, I didn't say I was going to cut 100 points on your head.
However, he was very forced.
Rozier has already scored eight points, which translates to the meaning of "if you can score another goal, even if I lose."
Rozier is also the core of the weak team, which is really pretending.
Rozier reached out and motioned for Gilchrist to block again.
He's not a player with a basketball IQ, but he's got a lot of self-confidence, unmatched confidence.
He really wanted to slap Tang Tian in the face today.
Gilchrist's block came and he took aim for the opportunity to break straight inside.
"Smack!"
But as soon as he accelerated, he felt a light in his hand.
Tang Tian is not Butler, his awareness and ability to go around the block and dismantle are the only ones in the league.
He's a breakthrough man in the past, but the ball is ...... Gone!
