Chapter 129: The Smart Chinese

Even from the perspective of a third party, Paul's breakthrough through Lowry is as effortless as breaking through the air, but the physical confrontation between them still exists, and in order to deal with the Rockets' targeted defense, Chris Paul's every shot is basically a difficult step-back jumper, a layup and a pull-up jumper, he needs to use faster speed than usual in order to score, more running distance, otherwise he may face the dilemma of not being able to shoot the ball.

This is of course more physically demanding than the usual game, and Queen Bee herself is not a player known for her stamina, and just after the first quarter of the game, Chris Paul had the feeling that he would never want to get up again while sitting on the bench........

It's not that Queen Bee didn't think about splitting the ball and handing it over to the rest of the team, but the Rockets were too targeted with his defense.

At every point in the first quarter, as long as he touches the ball, there are at least three Rockets players in the south, south, west, and north, and south, some of them are blocking their passing routes, and some are leaning over and ready to make up for defense, in an easy-to-understand sentence, only 1/2 of the Rockets' attention in this game is on themselves.

If Paul can take the initiative to give up the ball and hand over the basketball to others to play a no-ball role, then the Rockets' defense will naturally be self-defeating, and he will drag the Rockets three by himself, so the remaining 4 people can't just pass two times to get a big vacant opportunity?

Is it possible to have Paul, a superstar point guard, play an off-ball role player, even for a short time?

Even the queen bee knows the way to crack the layout of the Rockets, but any player who is a little famous will not do this in the regular season to become a global team, let alone a new superstar in the league like Chris Paul, even if the team loses today, Chris Paul will not hand over the ball that should belong to him............

In this comparison, My Neighbor Totoro's attitude of bending and stretching is also a relatively powerful skill in the NBA.

The Hornets are also watching Totoro and Yao Ming with the two of them, but Totoro and Yao Ming will know that they will give up the ball when they are trapped, they have the spirit of being willing to be a green leaf for other players, some people may say that they do not have the perverted desire to win like black players, but on the other hand, Totoro and Yao Ming are far smarter than those black players.

What's more, My Neighbor Totoro and Yao Ming are two people...........

The Hornets' scoring speed is quickly not keeping up with the Rockets' scoring speed, how much does physical strength affect a player? In this way, it must be said that the passage of physical strength can completely make Chris Paul, who dominates the NBA guard, become a point that even a CBA point guard can't beat in an instant.

The mid-range shot is either light or heavy, difficult layups are always interfered with and stumbling out of the basket, Paul's success rate in scoring begins to decrease at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the rest of the Hornets players also rely too much on Paul and let themselves start to be dysfunctional because of the team's brain disorder, on the contrary, the advantage of the Rockets at this time began to manifest.

Except for Totoro's lucky few three-pointers at the beginning, he and the little giant's scoring efficiency today is not very high, after all, the Hornets have also put a lot of attention into them, except for the opening few beautiful goals when they are full of physical strength, Totoro and Yao Ming can't score goals every time they make a difficult 1VN like Kobe.

But when the game shifts from the hands of superstars to the main players and even the bench players, what can the Hornets do against the Rockets, who have one of the deepest rosters in the league?

Hornets coach Byron Scott frowned off the court, he saw through the Rockets' intentions as early as the second half of the first quarter, but what can he, as a head coach, do?

The Hornets have been trading around their core Chris Paul in recent years, and at first glance they are a very talented and experienced team in the West, but Scott is well aware of the deformities that their team has hidden within.

David West is just a decent star, no matter what his defensive intensity is, he can steadily contribute a 19+8 statistic per game, but this kind of too stable player can only play a role in the icing on the cake in the game, 20+10 can't kill a team at all.

Tyson Chandler is a defensive stalwart, but on the offensive end, he is left with three simple ways to score.

Japesto Jakovic has lost the ball-handling offensive ability he had with the Kings since coming to the Hornets and is just a regular battery with a high salary.

James Posey has been the league's best role defender, but his offensive ability is inversely proportional to his defensive ability, and with no other player helping him create open three-point opportunities, the Hornets are playing 5 in 4 frontcourt.

They are all players with their own obvious flaws, and they usually rely on Paul's engine and superstar ability to cover up their weaknesses, and when the absolute core of the team can't play with Queen Bee, what can these seemingly excellent Hornets rely on to save the team?

The final score was 93:78, the Rockets not only avenged the last home defeat, but also used 15 points to crush and achieve a hearty victory, except for the star duel that made fans feel adrenaline rush at the beginning, the rest of the time was the Rockets beating the Hornets, making the basketball game suddenly boring, more than 1/3 of the Hornets fans left the court early at the end of the third quarter, they don't want to see their home team on their own turf beaten by the challenger.
