As usual, the opening ball was easily won by Da Yao for the Clippers.

After Li Yao took the basketball from Da Yao's hand, he quietly looked at Chris in front of him. Paul.

Compared with Li Yao's relaxed freehand, Chris. Paul is a little cautious, not only because this game is a point guard battle between him and Lee, but also because the current situation of the Hornets is in desperate need of a win to get back to the feeling.

Looking at Chris with a cautious face. Paul, Li Yao laughed here, he didn't expect Chris. Paul was nervous.

"Chris, why are you so nervous? Don't worry, I won't sneak attack, let's take the opportunity to chat, the last time I said yes, I came to see me in Los Angeles, but after the playoffs, you forgot, shouldn't we talk about this matter? Li Yao quietly dribbled the ball calmly on the outside, facing Chris. Paul said.

"Lee, what the hell are you trying to do?" Chris. Paul didn't believe that Li Yao was really just chatting with him, and he still didn't let down his vigilance.

"Chris, you see, you don't trust your brother. Don't worry, I'm definitely not going to break through, okay, I promise you, how about it? Li Yao made a helpless expression at Chris. Paul said.

"What do you want to say?" Chris. Although Paul didn't let his guard down much, he still talked to Li Yao.

"Didn't I just say it, why didn't you go to Los Angeles to see me, didn't you say yes?" Li Yao looked at Chris like this. Paul's eyes said.

"Well, I'm really sorry about that, Lee, after the playoffs, I wanted to wait for LeBron and Melo to go together after the game, but as soon as the game on their side was over, they had to pull me to watch the finals, and after the finals, we were called up to the national team." Chris. Paul said with some embarrassment.

"Well, I'll forgive you, but the next time you're in Los Angeles, you're going to have to bring some gifts for my son, right?" I'm going to warn you now, don't forget it when the time comes. Li Yao looked at Chris. Paul said.

"Don't worry about this, I will never forget it." Chris. Paul patted his chest and reassured.

But just in Chris. When Paul made a chest slapping motion, Li Yao instantly threw the basketball in his hand.

Basketball is right here at Chris. Paul's look of disbelief was in the Hornets' basket.

"Lee, you?" Chris. Paul suddenly turned his head to look at Li Yao with an angry face.

"Chris, I've done what I said, and I'll never break through." Li Yao faces a guy from Chris. Paul's questioning was unconcerned, and he said with an innocent expression.

"Lee, you can." Chris. Paul listened to Li Yao's explanation, where he didn't know that he had fallen for Li Yao, and he was very unhappy with Chris. Paul vowed to get the ball back on his next attack.

"Thank you for the compliment, Chris." After Li Yao smiled slightly, he began to choose to retreat.

"Shame on you." Chris. Paul didn't expect Li Yao to actually take his words as a compliment, and he was speechless.

"Hey, hey." Li Yao continued his stunned expression.

This time it was the Hornets' turn to attack.

Chris. Paul dribbles straight up front with a quick dribble.

"Chris, you're not really angry, I'm just kidding, and I've kept my promise." Li Yao continued to talk about Chris. Paul went on the offensive with words.

"Lee, I don't remember Dwynne ever saying that your mouth is so poor?" Chris. Paul said with a frown.

"Uh." Li Yao's side suddenly stopped talking for a while.

At this moment, Chris. Paul started it, and Li Yao also moved with it, wanting to follow Chris. Paul.

But as soon as Li Yao's side started, he felt like he had hit a wall.

"It's broken." Li Yao immediately reacted to Chris. Paul definitely used a pick-and-roll tactic.

Before Li Yao shouted to his teammates to pay attention to the defense, Chris. Paul threw the basketball in his hand.

Li Yao's eyes followed the trajectory of the basketball's flight all the way.

I saw that this basketball arrived in Peja in an instant. In the hands of Stojakovich.

Peja. Stojakovic, the legendary shooter, also didn't have the slightest reason and shot directly outside the three-point line.

With a "bang", the basketball steadily got into the Clippers' basket.

"Chris, are we even?" Li Yao asked a little depressed.

"Of course not, unless this game is over." Chris. Paul said with a serious face.

"Okay." Li Yao could only shake his head helplessly.

Li Yao and Chris. Paul's IQ contest in offense and defense is not enough for outsiders.

After receiving a serve from his teammate again, Li Yao directly attacked the Hornets' half again.

But this time Li Yao is facing Chris. When Paul's tight defense, he directly handed over the basketball to Da Yao, who was already stuck on the inside, without hesitation.

Da Yao directly turned sideways with a small hook hand and put the basketball firmly into the Hornets basket.

"Lee, you." Chris. When Paul saw this picture, he couldn't help frowning and looked at Li Yao.

"Chris, we're point guards, not Kobe, so why be so serious?" Li Yao shrugged his shoulders and said leisurely.

Chris. After hearing Li Yao's words, Paul only felt that his blood pressure had skyrocketed. Paul swore that he would never communicate with Li Yao in the game, he was afraid that he would be angry with Li Yao sooner or later.

Switching offense and defense, this time the Hornets are still relying on Chris. Paul initiated the pick-and-roll tactic, and the basketball was played in Chris. Paul's control passed to David, who was pulled to the side. West.

David who received the pass. West, however, ended the offense with a direct mid-range jumper.

So far, both sides have completed a 100% success rate in the first two rounds of attack and defense.

"Ho ho, just in the first two rounds, the two sides have played such high-quality attacks, and I am looking forward to the next game more and more." Barkley, who was sitting in the commentary seat, said excitedly.

"That's right, Sir Charles, it looks like this game will be much more exciting than we expected." Kenny. Smith also nodded from the sidelines.

Compared to the expectations of these two TNT commentators, the fans at the New Orleans Arena were even more excited, and the opening two offenses alone already made them feel that the former powerful Hornets team was back again.
