Chapter 37: The Slaughter of Deer
~
Jennings was beaten down at the beginning of the game to the surprise of the Bucks, Bucks head coach Scott Skels hurriedly replaced Jennings with JJ Redick, and Monta Ellis took the point guard position, although he is a two-way guard himself, and Redick played the point guard. After Jennings was stretchered down, the game was back on track, and the Bucks served from the baseline.
Monta Ellis advanced with the ball, and after half-time, the fat man went up to defend. Ellis saw that Yang Yi was coming to defend himself, and quickly passed the ball to Redick, as if he was throwing some hot potato.
The fat man grinned when he saw this scene, he is not a monster, don't be so afraid! Besides, Monta Ellis looks much stronger than Jennings, so what is he afraid of? I don't know how many people were stupid by the scene just now, although everyone looks very strong, but in fact they are just a little stronger than ordinary people, and they only feel safe when they meet a humanoid tank like a fat man and stay away from him. That's why Ellis was in a hurry to pass the ball, and he was afraid that the fat man would give him that, so he didn't have to think about this game.
In fact, if you count the fat man's games, you can find that he has a bad record, first in the preseason game to hurt the Magic center Ucevic, before it seems to have hit a center, and now Jennings has been hit with a rib fracture, inside and outside the line of killing, Nima is simply a player killer, who is not afraid?
Redick received Ellis's pass and dribbled Gordon alone, he first changed direction to dribble in front of his body, and after seeing that he couldn't shake Gordon, he changed to change hands behind his back to dribble, and jumped out of the three-point line with a step back to shoot a three-point shot, regardless of whether his teammates were in place or not, anyway, he would shoot when he had the opportunity, as long as he was not blocked, he would win.
After a short flight with the air, the ball smashed on the outside of the basket and bounced out, Yang was a little happy when he saw the ball flying towards him, so he grabbed the ball and sighed that today's luck was really good, so he won the first rebound.
The fat man held the ball to organize the Hornets' offense, and Monta Ellis stepped forward to defend, and the fat man grinned. Ellis was a little stunned when he saw the fat man's smile, the fat man's smile Nima looked like he was going to do something, wouldn't he want to beat himself down while he wasn't paying attention? In particular, they all say that fat people's hearts are relatively wide, but the fat man in front of him hides a knife in his smile, and he kills without seeing blood. So Ellis and the fat man are at least one step away, so that they can prevent breakthroughs and ensure their own safety.
When Yang saw Ellis put himself so far away, he was still a little puzzled, other teams defended their three points like thieves, but Ellis took the initiative to give himself space to shoot, does Ellis want to do something? The fat man only lingered in his heart for 0.07 seconds before deciding to make a move, this is the home court of the Hornets, even if the whole Bucks team is not afraid of doing things, what are you hesitating about!
The basketball crossed a wonderful arc in the air, and the hoop fell to the basket with a 'boom', bringing up the net and making a pleasant friction sound. Three-pointers were scored, 3-0, and the Hornets led by three points.
As soon as the referee signaled that the three-point shot was valid, Bucks head coach Scott Skels stood on the sidelines and shouted at Monta Ellis: "Ellis, pounce on the defense, don't give him space for a three-point shot, do you want to be shot into a sieve?" He called Ellis by his last name, apparently unhappy with Ellis's defense.
Monta Ellis nodded heavily, although Skeles has not been in the position of head coach of the team for long, but the problem he sees is indeed something that he needs to solve urgently, otherwise his point will become a hole in the team.
Offense and defense switched, the Bucks served from the baseline, and Ellis advanced with the ball. The Bucks' center Ellem Porter took the initiative to cover for Ellis, and the fat man was blocked by Ellem Porter, and Ellis took advantage of the situation to break inside. But the man in front of him became Lopez, who had to stop and wait for a chance to score or shoot. However, Hellam Porter was entangled by the fat man after the cover, and they often used sudden passes, so naturally Ellis would not be allowed to succeed, otherwise Hellam Potter might have staged another violent dunk.
Ellem Porter was entangled, the rest of his teammates hadn't finished their positions, the ball couldn't be passed, and Ellis was in a dilemma. The situation on the court was changing rapidly, and he didn't choose to shoot after thinking about it, because forcing a shot in front of a seven-foot-long man was not a good choice.
At this time, the fat man and Daim Porter were entangled into the inside line, and Ellis saw an opportunity and immediately hoisted the ball into the inside line to Daream Porter.
Daim Porter, who is thirty-one years old this year, has been honed by the league over the years, and his low-post skills are extremely skilled, and he is even more handy at playing small outside, because his height and weight are enough to eat most of the league's outside lines, but it is a pity that he met such a freak as a fat man today, which is destined to subvert his worldview.
Durham Porter hit Yang Yi with the ball on his back, trying to carry the fat man to the basket to complete a violent dunk. But after a long time, it still didn't move. The tonnage of the fat man is even greater than him, and once he stands, he is as immobile as a mountain.
Seeing that five seconds were about to pass with his back, Bowler could only pass the ball without making a shot. Although Redick and Yudu both ran out of the open space, Dareham Porter still decided to attack on his own, Nima couldn't play an outside line, he was not old yet! He hit the board at a 45-degree angle with a small hook hand, but unfortunately he was not a stone Buddha, otherwise the ball would have gone in.
The ball smashed on the outside of the basket and bounced back, and Yang grabbed the ball one by one and handed it to Gordon to organize the offense. In fact, since the fusion of the top point guard consciousness, the fat man's off-ball running has made great progress, but unfortunately he is not very physical, and the team does not have an authentic point guard who can pass the ball well, otherwise he will shoot three points specifically, to ensure that the three-point rain is one after another, his current three-point skills are SS level, and it is not a joke to be able to shoot dead people!
No, after Anderson stepped forward to block and dismantle, Yang flashed out of the space to shoot, and he didn't care if his teammates were in position, and raised his hand to throw the ball out.
Lopez and Durham Porter were entangled under the basket, and each wanted to win the rebound, but unfortunately, the ball fell into the net after a brief flight in the air, making the entanglement of the two useless.
"It's three points again, this game has just begun, The One scored six points after only two shots, is it possible that his three points are going to be powerful again today, less than a minute into the opening game, two three-pointers. I remember The One's record for the most three-pointers in a single game was the first game of his career, when he hit 16 three-pointers wildly over the Spurs' head and broke Bryant's record, and I don't know how many three-pointers he could have made today. The on-site commentator said with a smile. He didn't mention the question of winning or losing, and in his mind the Bucks are definitely finished, and they haven't lost at home in the new season.
Little Andy was also very happy on the sidelines, the fat man was really powerful, first beat Jennings, and then scored three points in succession on the head of the Bucks, which was simply a request for the Bucks.
In the next few rounds, it may be that the mentality of the Bucks players did not adjust well in time, and several offenses did not hit, but the Hornets players bloomed everywhere, and the starting five Tigers all scored. The Hornets got off to a great start with a 14-0 run.
Skels had to call a timeout, and he was also very angry when he was beaten like this, but if he didn't call a timeout, the Hornets might only need one game to clock out.
Just after a short timeout, the Hornets' offensive firepower was still ferocious, but the Bucks encountered stubborn resistance, and at the end of the first quarter, the Hornets led the Bucks by 18 points at 40:22 into the second quarter.
In the second quarter, the Bucks' offense improved slightly, and Monta Ellis made a crazy outside shot, but Yang Yi's three-point rain was not to be outdone, and Gordon, the little prince of the nightclub, also came to join in the fun. At halftime, the Hornets led the Bucks by 72-42 by 30 points. If nothing else, the second half has been reduced to garbage time.
Sure enough, before the third quarter of the second half was played, the Bucks replaced all the starters on the court and announced that they would abandon the game. Originally, the fat man still wanted to stay on the field and brush up more points, but when he saw that the other party was directly up and down, a bunch of substitutes he didn't know came up, and he was not in the mood to continue to do this, anyway, there were no glory points, as long as he could win the game! They just went to the rest of the game, and tomorrow they will go to Madison Square Garden to play back-to-back games against the Knicks, and it would be good to save some physical strength.
The final score between the two sides was 114-99, and the Bucks' bench pulled back the score to save face, but the game was powerless.
The Hornets are on the next leg after losing to the Thunder!
