Jeremy Lin was substituted and Kemba Walker began to take over the Hornets' offense.

He got into the groove quickly and he scored seven points of his own.

Al Jefferson also began to gradually contribute 9 points, and the Hornets launched a 13-4 attack wave led by two people.

At 25:27, the Hornets overtook the score.

Zhang Zifeng stepped up and scored three consecutive points to help the 76ers overtake the score, 31:27

Jefferson and Kaminsky then scored six straight points inside as the Hornets ended the first quarter with a two-point lead at 31-33.

Al Jefferson scored 14 points in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhang Zifeng rested off the court.

On the Hornets side, Kemba Walker was also out of the game, and Jeremy Lin returned to the court, returning to point guard to partner Lamb.

At the beginning, facing Cannan in the front court, Jeremy Lin broke through with the ball. He easily passed Cannan and then scored two points with a light reflex rebound basket against Grant's pursuit.

It is worth mentioning that both of them tried to hold Jeremy Lin with their hands, but unfortunately Shuhao's speed was so fast that he couldn't hold it at all!

With the ball in hand, Jeremy Lin obviously let go a lot.

In the next round, Jeremy Lin held the ball at the three-point line and faced the defender with a sudden change of direction to throw away the opponent, and then went directly to the basket. Jeremy Lin was so fast that the opposing interior defender didn't even have time to react before he made a layup.

Looking at Jeremy Lin who was playing with momentum, Zhang Zifeng felt a little sorry for him.

Jeremy Lin couldn't shoot, and the breakthrough was good. It is more suitable for his current style of play to switch from defense to offense, taking advantage of the opponent's defense not standing firm, breaking through the defense and making a layup.

But it takes the ball.

But alas, when he was with the Rockets, the ball was in Harden's hands. Now the Hornets are point guard Kemba Walker.

If this guy is willing to work a little more on defense and improve his shooting a little more, he can be a good 3-and-D player, whether it's the Rockets or the Hornets, and he can also make a good backcourt combination with Harden and Kemba Walker, and he won't squeeze people to the bench.

If Jeremy Lin can't improve on his two shortcomings, then the best fit for him is to play as the team's sixth team, holding the ball in the bench lineup and playing his ability to break through and steal points.

At Team Rockets, and now you can prove it.

Lamb and Jeremy Lin each scored four points at the start of the second quarter, and Stauskas led the team back to six points.

In the 9th minute of the second quarter, Zhang Zifeng returned to the game.

After that, Jeremy Lin, who had performed well before, continued to hit the iron under Zhang Zifeng's defense, and the 76ers took the opportunity to play a wave of 11-5 small climax, 48-46.

Hornets head coach Steve Clifford quickly called a timeout and brought Kemba Walker on the court to replace Jeremy Lin.

Head coach Steve Clifford shouted at his players, "Guys, we're playing well, but it's just good. That doesn't guarantee us a win in this game, it's our home stadium. We should have been more proactive and we had to change our defensive strategy. ”

"Lamb, the No. 14 Chinese player on the other side is shooting very well, you have to guard against his shots in the next game. If he breaks through, Williams and Thuram, you immediately step forward to block his path and let that guy fall into our trap! Got it? ”

"Understood, Coach!"

After a timeout, Zhang Zifeng received a pass from McConaughey outside the three-point line.

On the outside line, Lamb clinged to Zhang Zifeng and did not relax for a single step.

Lamb moves fast and has excellent explosiveness, which causes Zhang Zifeng a lot of trouble.

Zhang Zifeng hurriedly motioned for Holmes to come over and help cover up.

With cover, Zhang Zifeng just got rid of Lamb and was about to rush into the basket when Marvin Williams appeared in front of him.

Marvin Williams has great physical qualities and can defend from the No. 1 to the No. 4 position.

Williams blocked in front, and Lamb bypassed the defense and sandwiched Zhang Zifeng left and right.

Unable to advance or retreat, Zhang Zifeng had no choice but to pass the ball to Holmes.

Holmes didn't have a three-pointer, he dribbled a few steps, burst inside and threw the ball to the basket with a small throw.

It's a pity that Holmes's shots are always not on target, and his small toss is iron.

Al Jefferson grabbed the rebound, a long pass, and Walker made a quick layup.

The Hornets are very resolute in Zhang Zifeng's defense, once Zhang Zifeng blocks and dismantles the outside, and wants to break through to the penalty area, even if it has not yet started, the Hornets Marvin Williams, Thuram and others will catch up and form a pinch.

There was no good opportunity, Zhang Zifeng had to pass the ball out, but his teammates didn't feel good today, and he didn't shoot in several empty positions.

Brown called several shots in quick succession to no avail, 55-66, and the 76ers trailed by 11 points at halftime.

At halftime, Brown laid out the tactics for the second half.

In the second half, Lamb kept following Zhang Zifeng's side and didn't let him have any chances.

Zhang Zifeng started to start, ran to the bottom line, and then suddenly ran back.

At this time, Noel helped Zhang Zifeng make a block, and Zhang Zifeng took this opportunity to throw a blank block.

McConaughey's pass flew in as soon as possible.

Zhang Zifeng naturally wouldn't let go of an opportunity, and jumped directly.

"Huh!" The basketball flies into the hoop. 58-66。

The Hornets continued to attack, and Walker scored on another breakaway layup. 58-68。

It can be seen that this guy is very motivated today, and he is about to defend his home field!

The 76ers served quickly, and McConaughey passed the basketball to Zhang Zifeng directly after the backcourt.

Zhang Zifeng didn't wait for the Hornets defense to settle down, and jumped up and shot directly outside the three-point line.

Three-point shot, 61-68.

Zhang Zifeng opened his hands. It's like saying, what can you do with me!

In the next ball, when Walker just broke through the restricted area to avoid Noll for a layup, Zhang Zifeng gave him a big hat from behind.

Grant grabbed the ball and immediately made it past halfcourt, beating Lamb to dunk the ball into the basket.

63-68。

Seeing that the score was being caught up, the Hornets also began to get anxious.

Walker holds the ball, and Jefferson helps him with a pick-and-roll.

Walker burst inside and saw Knoll coming up. He immediately passed the ball to Jefferson, who cut inside after the pick-and-roll.

Jefferson received the ball and sprinted straight to the middle for a dunk.

With 7 minutes and 54 seconds left in the third quarter, Zhang Zifeng ran out of the open space on the left side to receive the ball.

Lamb saw that he hurriedly rushed over to block it, and when Lamb rushed over, Zhang Zifeng was already flying in the air to shoot.

Just as Yu Jia explained, "Good shot, Zhang Zifeng hit another three-pointer......"

Yu Jia stood up excitedly and shouted, "Zhang Zifeng is injured!" Zhang Zifeng, who performed well in this game, stepped on Lamb's foot when he landed on the ground, and he should have sprained his ankle. Hope he's okay! ”

When the shot landed, Zhang Zifeng fell to the ground in pain and covered his left leg.

The pain in the heart kept stimulating the cranial nerves, and Zhang Zifeng gritted his teeth to prevent himself from shouting.

The referee saw that someone was injured and hurriedly blew the whistle and the game was suspended!
