The next day, the Charlotte Hornets visited, the original Charlotte Bobcats, and the owner of the team was the famous 'Flyer' Jordan.

About the history of the team name, it is more winding, it turned out that Charlotte established the first NBA team at the beginning, it was called Charlotte Hornets, in 2002, the team moved to New Orleans, and retained the team name, which led to the New Orleans Hornets, but in 2013, the relocated New Orleans Hornets were acquired by the new owner, and decided to name the team after the state bird Pelicans, after the successful name change, Jordan also took advantage of the situation to propose to let the Bobcats change back to the original name Hornets, and got the consent of the league, so, Charlotte is the original, and she has taken back her own name.

Lei Shui has already done a full understanding of the Hornets, so he is full of confidence in today's battle.

The opponent that Lei Shui is going to face today is Batum, who is known as 'French Pippen', to the Hornets, Batum, who won a contract of 100 million yuan, appears more in the position of scoring guard and undertakes the task of scoring, but the reason why Batum plays more outside is also that the coaching staff takes into account his characteristics, the confrontation is slightly poor, once he faces a small forward with strength, he suffers a little, but to put it on the guard line, his height and arm span plus flexible movement will have a big advantage at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

Spurs starters: center Gasol, power forward Ade, small forward Leonard, point guard Raywater, point guard Parker.

Hornets starters: center Hibbert, power forward Williams, small forward McKegie, point guard Batum, point guard Walker.

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs got the ball first, according to the old habit, the inside line played first, and Ade was a little tight at the beginning and failed to hit.

The Hornets want to use speed to impact the inside line, frequent bursts, but the Spurs learned the lesson of the last game, and they are very experienced in preventing sudden points, the Hornets have not been able to find a good opportunity, and finally can only force a shot under interference, the ball is biased a lot, the rebound fell just in the hands of Williams, Williams got the rebound and quickly got up and jumped hook, never thought that Thunder Water stabbed and rushed, a palm hat flew directly to the midfield, Parker started quickly, grabbed the ball and scored directly to the basket.

Williams was a little stunned by this big hat, and only came back to his senses after Parker scored, Williams was a little dissatisfied with Batum because he was blocked by Thunder Water, and found Batum and said: "When you grab rebounds, you have to top people, how did he run to the inside line as a guard?" ”

Batum knew that it was his own negligence that slipped into the thunder water, and he knew that he was wrong: "Marven, this is my problem, I will break through in a while, you cover me, we will play this tactic..."

Lei Shui, who was not far away, listened to their conversation quietly, and glanced at Batum's gesture in the spare eye, and mentioned in the information the tactics represented by several gestures of the Hornets, Lei Shui thought carefully, this is a tactical gesture to break through the return pass, Williams is a shot-based player, rarely breaks through, that is, they will end the attack with a shot,

Judging their tactical intentions, Lei Shui hurriedly told Ade: "In a while, they will cover up, you will retract, and we will switch to defense." ”

After saying goodbye to Ade, Lei Shui made a quick gesture to Leonard, Leonard nodded, and McGiggie next to him saw the silent communication between the two, and curiously repeated Lei Shui's gesture and asked Leonard: "What does this mean?" ”

Leonard, of course, couldn't tell him the truth: "Oh, Ray said his hand hurts..."

McGee was also faithful, thinking, "Hand hurt? Could it be that he blocked too hard just now and was injured? That's good for us..."

At this time, the ball had passed half the court, Walker handed the ball to Batum, Batum held the ball and made eye contact with Williams, Williams came out to cover him, Lei Shui deliberately slowed down and let Batum break through, Ade recycled to defend the left side, and drove Batum to the baseline, Batum was forced to the baseline and had no shooting space, and began to turn around to find Williams.

As soon as Batum passed the ball, Lei Shui, who was waiting for the opportunity on the side, immediately activated and quickly stepped forward to intercept the ball.

At the same time, Leonard had quietly run to the frontcourt, and McGee saw Thunderwater break the ball, and was still thinking, didn't this guy have a hand injury? Why is there nothing at all, how could Leonard, who looks so honest, lie to me... Leonard... Hey? What about the Leonards?

At this time, Leonard had already rushed through the halfcourt, and McKiggie couldn't catch up, so he could only watch Leonard receive a long pass from Thunder Water and dunk successfully.

McGee defended Leonard so far away, and naturally received a spit from the coach.

The Hornets attacked again, this time under the command of the head coach, and the Hornets had a lot more cover in positional battles, and Walker began to score with his impact.

Next, the Spurs attacked, Parker was responsible for handing the ball safely to Thunder Water, and Thunder Water was responsible for distributing the ball, and the efficiency was still within the normal range.

In defense, Lei Shui recognized the tactical intentions of the Hornets through observation and prediction several times, and cut off the passing and receiving of Batum and others 3 times, almost isolating Batum from the Hornets' tactics, making the Hornets' tactics not much successful, but fortunately, Walker's adaptability is good, and other people's shots are also okay, although the offense has come and gone, but the Spurs have always maintained the lead.

When entering the rotation in the first quarter, the Spurs led by 8 points, and when the bench was matched, the Hornets bench advantage began to appear, center Hawes 216 cm, power forward Kaminsky 213 cm, the interior double height has a range that extends from the basket to the three-point line, plus Belineri, the shooter from the Spurs, such a bench strength, let the Spurs lose a few defensive rebounds, and the Hornets began to control the game, but because the two tall interior lines slowed down the pace of the game, the speed of the point difference was also very slow, Until the end of the first quarter, the Hornets chased down with 2 points remaining.

After tasting the sweetness of the inside double height, in the second quarter, Hornets head coach Clifford put Hibbert on the bench, Hibbert is not as good as before, but in the opposite position with the bench, he can still take a lot of advantages, although the Spurs bench has Bertans who can shoot three points, but after all, the number of shots is limited, and the defensive height suffers, and soon after the start of the second quarter, the Hornets overtook the score with the absolute height advantage of the inside...

When the Spurs returned to the main force, the main force of the Hornets changed, and Kaminsky, who performed well on the bench, began to match with the main team, and the addition of this long-range battery pulled Gasol out of the interior line and created strong conditions for Walker's breakthrough.

At this time, even if you know the tactics, there is no good way, after all, it is Walker single burst Parker, all test Parker's personal defensive ability, if it is a co-defense, supplementary defense, there is Kaminsky on the outside, not only can shoot from a distance, but also young, there is a certain speed advantage, breaking through Gasol, it is easy to pass in one step, there are two points of slightly difficult defense, it will have an impact on the offensive and defensive system of the whole team.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Hornets led by 6 points, and the Spurs could only bite the score first and wait for the opportunity...
