Chapter 8 Three Points, Only Three Points!
The fat man raised his hand to hit three points, and the Spurs players didn't care, because the fat man also hit a lot of three-pointers before, and hitting it at the beginning can only show good luck.
At 3:0, the Hornets led by 3 points.
Switching offense and defense, Tony Parker with the ball. The French sports car is 30 years old this year, long past the age of chasing the wind, and now he is playing extremely calmly.
Seeing that the fat man was pressing, Parker handed the ball to Ginobili, who came to pick it up. The demon knife is 36 years old this year, but he still responded to that sentence: the older you are, the more demonic you are. Although he is old, he is becoming more and more proficient in controlling the game, and young people like Yang Yi are the most experienced.
So against Eric Gordon, Ginobili just took advantage of the change of tempo, easily shook Gordon, and then hit a solid 2-point shot from mid-range.
At 3:2, the Hornets still have a one-point lead.
The Hornets played from the baseline, and Yang dribbled through half court and made a long pass to the unguarded Aminu. It's a pity that the unmarked Aminu shot wide, and Duncan easily picked up the rebound and handed it to Parker next to him.
Parker is slowly advancing with the ball, the current Spurs are very old, and it is never their rhythm to run fast, more often they play positional battles, relying on veteran experience and consistent play to win.
Parker hoisted the ball to Duncan on the inside, and Duncan singled Lopez. Don't look at Duncan is 35 years old, but he is still very easy to play Robin Lopez physically, and the defensive ability is not outstanding.
Duncan went to the basket against Lopez and then hit a small hook.
"Tim, it's Tim again, hitting a 2-pointer from a 45-degree angle, Tim's signature move, Tim's dominance under the basket is still there, Robin Lopez has no power to resist." Mark Jackson praised.
4:3, Spurs took the first lead after the opening,
Damn, teammates aren't awesome! Both rounds were scored by the opponent steadily, it seems that today's game is not good!
Young dribbled to the half court and faced Kawhi Leonard. The fat man dribbled forward, Lopez came to block the pick-and-roll, Parker filled in the position, and now he was a meter away from the fat man.
Before the three-point line was crossed, the fat man raised his hand and threw three points. Before Parker could react, the ball in the fat man's hand had already flown to the basket. The moment he shot, the fat man had a feeling, and the ball was there!
Sure enough, only a 'swish' sound was heard, and the basketball flew into the basket accurately, which was the fat man's second shot after the opening, and it was also the second three-pointer.
"In the first game of the new season, The One was hot and he had hit two three-pointers and it was less than a minute into the game. Now it seems that the Spurs must immediately adjust their defensive strategy and not let The One shoot like this again, otherwise the Spurs may be shot alive! Look at Spurs head coach Po Povic on the sidelines, this guy is yelling at Parker, and it looks like he's not happy with Parker's defense. At this time, the live camera focused on Popovich and gave a high-definition close-up, judging from the picture, Popovich's face was full of anger!
At 6:4, the Hornets overtook the score.
Leonard missed, Anderson grabbed the backcourt rebound, and a long diagonal pass handed the ball to Yang Yi on the left.
The fat man went down quickly with the ball and rushed up with the ball. Parker would have had a chance to cut the ball out of the fat man's hand because he had already run to the fat man's side. But the power of the fat man's rush was too terrifying, like a chariot of fire appeared on the field. Parker stopped his footsteps, let the fat man soar into the sky, dunked his hands, and poured the ball into the basket fiercely.
Po Povich's face is a little unsightly, his understanding of the fat man is still in the preseason, Yang Yi at that time is just like now, rushing forward, but there is no such accurate three points! Now it's only a little more than a minute before the opening, and Yang Yi has scored 8 points, is this going against the rhythm of the sky?
"The One, it's The One, it's hard to believe this is his first game in the NBA, he's scored 8 points so far, maybe he can score a double in the next round, is this going to break the record for the fastest NBA rookie to score a double-double? Audience friends, let's wait and see! "Mark Jackson's voice is loud and sounds convincing.
His words lifted people's spirits, although the record of the fastest scoring double of a rookie is not a weighty record, but it is also a record, and many basketball players may not be able to break a record in their lifetime!
At 8:4, the Hornets led by four points.
Switching offense and defense, the Spurs are still slowly playing and passing, trying to get the game into their own rhythm. He couldn't see that this was the Spurs' biggest killer before, but after fusing the top point guard awareness, he figured out the mystery at a glance.
Since head coach Monty Williams did not arrange any tactics, Yang Yi made a big hand and called his teammates to press all over the court, wanting to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, even if he did not hesitate to lose points now.
Now the players on the Hornets court are convinced by the fat man's words. There is no way, the fat man, a rookie who is a young rookie, played a calm momentum in the face of the powerful Spurs, and one person scored 8 points in a row, scoring more points than the entire Spurs team, and it is difficult to link a newcomer with his identity. So, what the fat man greets, they do.
In the face of the sudden full-court pressing, even the Spurs, who have experienced strong winds and waves, can't help but be a little flustered, and there was a mistake in the pass for a while, Eric Gordon cut off Parker's pass to Ginobili, and passed the long pass to Aminu, who had already flown under the fast attack, Aminu flew up and dunked with both hands.
At 10:4, the Hornets led by six points.
Monty Williams applauded with satisfaction from the sidelines, the fat man's performance surprised him, when can he also see the truth, isn't he a fierce man who can fight well? How to become a commander! However, Williams is quite happy about this change. Because he has only one tactic - blind ** fight, punch the master to death!
Now that there is a commander on the pitch who can see the whole picture, the winning rate will definitely go up.
……
Halfway through the first quarter, the score was 21-18, and the Hornets led by three points. After scoring 8 points in a row, the fat man handed over the shot to his teammates, so that they could also feel their hot hand. It worked out pretty well, 5 out of 8, all two-pointers. Just now, Yang Yi threw in another three-pointer, and he himself scored more than half of the team's score.
"It's unbelievable that the new champion led the Hornets played a close match with the old powerhouse Spurs, and they also led the score. The Hornets have blossomed and the Champion has shown his incredible attacking power, but that's just the result of his shooting, and he hasn't shown his dominance from the outside. So far, he's almost got a dunk, which is very different from his previous style of play, and Popovich may be miscalculated! Mark Jackson commented in the studio.
"The One, another three-pointer, he's made four threes so far, and he hasn't missed a shot yet, today his hot touch has infected the atmosphere of the New Orleans Arena, listen to the cheers of the scene, The One conquered New Orleans in less than a quarter!" Byron Scott, another ESPN commentator, explained on the sidelines. The former Hornets head coach was removed from his job because of his team's poor record and has now found a job at ESPN.
"It's incredible, it's incredible, it's incredible, The One hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, he's hit nine three-pointers in this quarter, and the total score is 29, and he scored 29 points in the first quarter, oh my God, if he showed up when I was coaching the Hornets, I don't think I would have been out of the Hornets!" Byron Scott looked crazy: "Does he want to score 100 points in a single game!" ”
The expressions of the Spurs players off the court were grim, and even the eyes of Duncan, who had always been sluggish and wooden, changed. If the hot hand of the fat man's three-point shot does not drop, then the Spurs may really be shot alive as a dead horse!
As soon as the second quarter came on, the fat man continued his hot hand, and two three-shot shots were solidly hit, forcing Po Povich to call a timeout.
Nima's three-point shot is as stable as a dunk, and he doesn't let people shoot two points!
Po Povic called a timeout not to set up any tactics, but to cool down Yang Yi's feelings. Now the fat man has made 11 three-pointers, and it hasn't been three minutes since the second quarter! He has already scored 35 points, and now the score on the court is 50-36, and the Hornets lead by 14 points.
Monty Williams couldn't close his mouth smiling on the sidelines, and he led the Spurs by 14 points at the start of the second half, which Nima would have thought before the game. Especially the fat man's three-point shot, 11 of 14, exceeding the two-point shooting rate of other players on the court, is so scary that Williams himself can't help but want to kneel!
After the timeout, the Spurs used a trap tactic, as long as the fat man got the ball, the two closest Spurs players pounced, even if they let others score, they would interrupt the fat man's shooting rhythm.
As a result, the fat man was a little depressed, and his shooting percentage dropped sharply under the bag of two people, 4 in 0, although he also passed some balls, but the shooting rate of other players was really not too high, and he couldn't stop the Spurs' attack, so the score was slowly approaching.
This time, after the fat man received the ball, Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker, who were closest to him, came up to him. However, the fat man did not attack or pass the ball immediately, but pinched the ball in his hand and raised it to the sky.
He said to Parker and Leonard with a bitter face: "Two old brothers, give me a way to live!" Today is my first game in the league, so can I just score a score that shocks the world? ”
Parker and Leonard looked confused, it's really strange that things happen every year, especially this year. I've been playing basketball for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen such a brazen and upright person, what kind of person is this!
Parker and Leonard glanced at each other, and pounced on the fat man in unison, and the fat man looked aggrieved: "Don't give me a way to live." ”
Ryan Anderson, who received the fat man's pass, burst out laughing, and then dribbled out of the area, who knows this fat man, anyway, I don't know!
