Coming back from the timeout, the Hawks fielded a lineup of Jason Terry, Maddy, Korver, David Lee, and Josh Smith.

On the Hornets side, Paul, JR Smith, Rasol Butler, Desmond Mason, and David West played.

JR Smith and Rasol Butler, two forward defenders who averaged double digits in points per game last season, are on the verge of being abandoned this season after the control maestro Byron Scott doesn't continue to swing badly.

However, the Hornets are not just chasing points, but also these two people.

As it turns out, Byron Scott's other coach-related abilities are really not good, except for the three advantages of developing point guards, building a defensive system, and allowing the Hornets to play the league's fourth-lowest turnover rate.

The vision is too bad.

Now a second-year and a third-grader, finally got the opportunity to show their talents.

Eagles frontcourt ball.

Korver fed the ball to Maddy, who passed it to Jason Terry and lazily opened up the space.

Maddie teased Paul today, playing very casually, and the better he played, the more casual he became, and he didn't take the Hornets seriously.

Jason Terry received the ball and continued to play singles, being caught between Paul and J.R. Smith.

Jason Terry, who scored two three-pointers in a row, was confident and singled against the two......

JR-Smith steals!

Directly cut off the ball that Jason Terry picked up when he was about to shoot, Paul picked up the ball, JR Smith was lightning fast, rushed to the free throw line to receive the ball, jumped up, picked the ball round, and scored two points with a tomahawk dunk!

73 to 80, the difference narrowed to 7 points!

Maddie saw JR Smith, who is also a high school player, dunk one, his eyes began to brighten up a little, and he became a little interested, after Jason Terry pushed the ball to the front court, Maddie asked for the ball, Jason Terry knew that he was a little stupid not to pass to Korver just now, so he didn't continue to be stupid and gave the ball to Maddie.

Maddie received the ball, faced JR Smith's defense, grabbed the ball with one hand, and turned a circle from the right to the left, JR-Smith's defense was very anxious, seeing Maddie's action and reaching out to steal, Maddie made a big loop, shot the ball out to the right front, and strode towards the basket to break through!

Effortlessly, Maddie only dribbled the ball once, and then reached the three-second zone, grabbed the ball and jumped directly towards David West, who received the basket, and wanted to dunk!

David West pressed up and pulled Maddie straight down.

I'd rather send Maddie to the free-throw line than let Maddie's dunk lift morale.

Maddie was fine, she was ready when she was pulled down, she didn't fall, and David West didn't have malicious thoughts about hurting anyone.

Maddie walked to the free-throw line and felt very unhappy, and both free throws were iron.

Immediately after Paul advanced to the frontcourt, he missed a mid-range single in the face of Maddie.

Maddie grabbed the rebound himself this time and advanced to the top of the frontcourt arc to face JR Smith for a three-pointer...... Or not!

But!

Looking back, JR-Smith faced Korver's defense, returned a dry pull, and, moreover, went in!

There is no reason to score, Korver did a good job of sticking to the defense, the height advantage was there, but Korver didn't pass the ball to Paul when he was sticking tightly, he shot directly, and he threw it in!

76 to 80, the difference was narrowed to 4 points at once!

Six and a half minutes left!

Coach Krueger called a timeout again!

……

Paul is so excited, excited, so happy, he's going to turn the tables around! It's time to kill each other!

Paul learned from the boss of his own company, called several teammates who were on the court together, and he was arranging tactics, and compared with Liu Mang, he only took away the tactical board.

Byron Scott is used to it, and that's what Kidd did.

And Byron Scott is relatively more indulgent to Paul, as well as to Irving, who will be cultivated in the future, after all, he is a player he has cultivated.

One of the hallmarks of Paul's career is that he relies heavily on the kind of bench that can play a few shots, and that trend is starting to show now.

And the best sixth man, with the exception of Manu Ginobili and Jason Terry, is almost always the type of guy who plays well in the regular season and playoffs.

However, today was only the regular season, and JR-Smith only came on in the third quarter, which immediately helped Paul.

On the Eagles' side, Liu Mang took off his training uniform.

I thought I could sit and watch my teammates abuse vegetables, but I didn't expect to be caught up!

JR Smith didn't get a chance to play in the first half, and JR Smith, who averaged 11 points per game in the long season, only averaged 5 points per game this season, and the Hornets were ready to abandon him.

In the original time and space, JR-Smith was indeed sent to the Denver track and field team after playing this season.

Liu Mang forgot about JR-Smith because of this, and only now did he notice this nerve knife!

"JR Smith, Ability Rating 80 (Nerve Knife Status), Offense 85, Defense 62, Three-Point 87, Shooting 71, Layup 88, Speed 91, Power 77......"

Liu Mang remembers that JR-Smith averaged more than 2.4 three-point shots per game in his career, and it was a great time to wave!

Originally, Liu Mang hammered Paul up, but now the game has reached a critical moment!

After Liu Mang took off his training clothes, Coach Kruger called Liu Mang over.

"Ace, you and Jason, Tracy, and Kwame...... Robert came on the court and won the game, and the defensive focus was ......"

……

Coming back from the timeout, the Hornets didn't make any substitutions, they still didn't have a lineup of centers, and the Hawks replaced the three eagles and Kwame Brown, and the four best players of the Hawks were all on.

Instead of Josh Smith or David Lee, the power forward sent in Robert Horry!

The Eagles attack, the ball in the front court.

Liu Mang received a free throw from Maddie, came to the top arc, and faced Paul's defensive dribble.

Coach Kruger mainly arranges the defense, and the offensive end lets Liu Mang make his own decisions.

Liu Mang broke through to the right side, and Desmond Mason, who was defending Horry, had already flanked and encircled Liu Mang.

Liu Mang distributed the ball to Horry in the bottom corner.

Hori really ...... If you don't play in the playoffs, you can't shoot, and you can shoot three-pointers!

David West protects the defensive rebound!

Paul was quite excited to see that Horry didn't shoot David West and protected the rebound, and he was getting closer and closer to the comeback!

Paul pushed forward and before Liu Mang could defend himself, he hoisted the ball to David West in the middle distance.

David West singled Kwame Brown with the ball in the mid-range face frame, but he didn't push it, and he wanted to rely on speed, but his speed had no advantage, so he could only force Kwame Brown's defensive mid-range stepback jumper......

Return in!

Moreover, Kwame Brown pounced too fiercely, when David West threw the ball, Kwame Brown slapped David West's arm, the referee's whistle blew, and the goal was valid and a penalty was added!

David West's free throw also went in, 79-80, and the difference was narrowed to 1 point!

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Hawks scored 6 points!

2 out of 10 shots!

Shengsheng was beaten 20 to 6 by the opponent!

Paul has seen the light!

That's one point short!

Paul retreated to the top arc, saw Liu Mang advancing over, gestured to Desmond Mason behind his back, and then continued to stick towards Liu Mang.

Liu Mang pointed to the basket with his left hand before being pasted by Paul, and after Paul pasted Liu Mang, he subconsciously looked behind him, thinking that the Eagles were going to play an empty pass.

But Maddie was stuck by J.R. Smith and Jason Terry was caught in the air...... Or forget it, Kwame Brown and David West are entangled, and Horry is empty?

Paul denied the other party's empty pick up for a moment, and when he glanced behind him and immediately turned his head, he felt that he was being pulled up by Liu Mang's hand, and he was dragged up by the jersey.

Liu Mang has already jumped up!

Liu Mang chose to be strong when he was stuck to Paul, and shot three points!

"Ding...... The king of dry pulling is triggered at level 5, and the host's shot is not only blocked, but ignores the anti-interference. ”

Paul's small action on Liu Mang's jersey was exposed, and the referee's whistle sounded!

At the same time, Liu Mang's dry pull three points fell directly into the basket!

Horry and Maddy, rushed in, were going to grab the rebound, but they heard the whistle and stopped, and then they heard the ball go into the basket!

Liu Mang hit a three-point shot! And a penalty!

At the critical moment, Liu Mang came up and made his first move, and the situation was stabilized!

Maddie rushed up excitedly, Liu Mang also jumped up, and the two of them bumped their butts to celebrate.

Paul watched Liu Mang being stuck and dragged his jersey to throw the ball in, and saw that the difference was narrowed to one point, and it returned to 4 points!

When Liu Mang walked to the free throw line and hit a free throw, stretching the difference to 84-79, Paul's heart was cold for most of the time!

There is a kind of hard work they have worked hard for most of the day, as long as Liu Mang comes back, their hard work is equivalent to doing it in vain!

Paul didn't give up yet, suppressed that uneasiness, advanced to the front court, and faced Liu Mang singles.

With JR Smith and Rasol Butler, the Hawks didn't choose to pinch the shot, Rasol Butler scored a three-pointer in the third quarter, and JR Smith scored 8 points on 3-of-4 shooting.

Liu Mang defended Paul alone.

Paul is very fast, on par with Liu Mang, and has a good sense of rhythm in the breakthrough, and the defense he faces accelerates to break through!

Liu Mang did not lose his position, this time the defense was very focused, Paul couldn't get rid of Liu Mang in the middle distance, so he could only harden Liu Mang's defense and step back to shoot!

Liu Mang pressed up and jumped up to block, and the awareness was very good above Paul's shooting point, and Paul threw a big backward jumper from the free throw line, and hit again!

The Hornets scored and still didn't break it!

81-84, a 3-point difference, with five minutes to go, Paul's mentality is a lot more stable, and hopefully it's back!

Liu Mang was even more excited when he saw Paul's excited roar and waved his fist back to defense.

Rookie Paul ...... I can also fight!

is worthy of being a super rookie who has only played more than 20 games and has been compared to Kidd by the media!

Liu Mang advanced to the front court, took a big step across the three-point line, and shot directly!

The feel did not cool down because of the half-hour rest, and it continued to stay hot!

Facing Paul's three-point shot again!

87 to 81, the difference continues to expand to more than 5 points!

When it came to the Hornets offense, the Hawks paid more attention to Paul, and Kwame Brown came up directly to flank Paul when he burst into the middle distance.

After the third quarter, Paul became more comfortable with this kind of early pinch shot, and hit a mid-range jumper from David West at the first time.

The Hornets continue to maintain their hopes of a comeback, with a 4-point difference and 4:19 left to go, and there is still a chance.

But......

When Paul and Desmond Mason went directly to the top arc of the bag, Liu Mang continued to shoot directly before the bag fell down!

And, three three-pointers in a row!
