It was the Heat's turn to attack, and as soon as Li Yao arrived in the frontcourt, he began to command his teammates to say that he wanted to play alone, and his teammates also opened up space for Li Yao at the right time.

"Old bird, do you know that there is a saying called a rookie's counterattack?" Li Yao just quietly dribbled and stared at Chris. Paul.

"Uh, lee, you can't be serious, right?" Chris. Paul was obviously stunned for a moment in the face of Li Yao's firm eyes, thinking that he was casually joking, but who knew that Li Yao would turn his face when he turned around.

"Old bird, I hope you won't regret it." Li Yao's gaze still did not change at all, and he stared at Chris tightly. Paul.

"Come on, rookie, let me see you in action." Finding that the firmness in Li Yao's eyes had not changed, Chris. Paul also straightened his attitude and paid careful attention to his defense.

"I'm going to start, old bird." Li Yao's gaze still did not change at all, and he still stared at Chris. Paul.

As soon as the words fell, Li Yao started, from Chris. Paul's signature skill, Cross Over, is the first time that he has officially faced Chris in the NBA. Paul himself.

"Lee, are you counting on beating me with my sign?" Chris. Paul didn't give in at all to guard against Li Yao, and his mouth was still mocking with broken thoughts.

"Oh, yes, what about this?" Li Yao's expression did not fluctuate at all, and the original cross over instantly turned into a lightning step. Paul was left behind and faced Peja as he came from the defense. Stojakovic, with a slight shake of his right hand, flew the basketball out.

See here Chris. Paul suddenly screamed that it was not good, Sean. Marion cut through the baseline, jumped, received the ball, dunked, and a series of actions flowed smoothly.

After landing on the ground, Marion pointed at Li Yao with his right hand to signal that it was beautiful, and Li Yao gave Marion a thumbs up in return and turned to look at Chris behind him. Paul.

"Old bird, what do you say about Lightning Step?" Li Yao asked provocatively.

"Lee, there's no need to be so serious, right?" Chris. Paul said with some tears and laughter, he really didn't expect that his seemingly joking ridicule would make Li Yao so serious.

"I know that I hate this kind of welcome the most, and if you still come, then bear my revenge." Li Yao pursed his lips and said, they all said that if you don't die, you won't die, since you Chris's own death, don't blame yourself for being unkind.

"Oh roar? The rookie is still arrogant? "Chris. How could Paul admit defeat, but continued to tease Li Yao.

"You can do it, Chris, let's see." Li Yao faced such a scoundrel Chris. Paul had no choice but to retreat.

The next match was just as everyone paid attention to before the game, and it was completely Li Yao and Chris. Paul's two point guards showed off.

The Heat and Hornets completely played the offensive rhythm that everyone expected, and the two sides frequently staged empty catches and dunks.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two sides was still 67-64, except for the Hornets to lead the Heat by three points to end the first half.

"Wow, Kenny, I didn't expect it at all, I really didn't expect that the game between the two sides would be so intense and anxious, Lee's sluggish performance in the first few games completely disappeared in this point guard matchup, and he played an amazing performance in the preseason and even before the start of the regular season, which reminds people of the guy who killed the Dream Eight team in one fell swoop at the Beijing Olympics and led the Chinese men's basketball team to win the gold medal." On the commentary bench on the sidelines, Barkley shook his head and sighed.

"It's half-time, so is Sir Charles still insisting that he thinks the Hornets will win the event?" Kenny. Smith ignored Barkley's exclamations and instead asked if Barkley had a different view on the eventual direction of the game.

"Well, although Lee showed us that he is back in shape again, but you must know that the first half has been a performance between him and Chris, and at the beginning of the second half, I think the other players of the Hornets will inevitably step up, so I still think the Hornets will eventually win the game, after all, the strength and thickness of the lineup, the Heat do not have an advantage at the moment." Barkley pondered for a long time, and finally chose his choice before the opening.

"Sir Charles, you said that the Wasp crowd has not yet been fully exploited, so how can you ignore the existence of that man? You must know that he also gave the opportunity to perform in the first half to Lee, as the strongest point of the two guns in the backcourt, his firepower is not a joke, I believe he will stand up in the second half. "Kenny. Smith looked at Barkley with a smirk.

"Well, I'm sticking to my principles." Barkley hears Kenny. After Smith's words, he couldn't help but look at the figure wearing the No. 3 jersey in the middle of the Heat's generals, and his throat couldn't help but shake. The battle between Paul's two point guards, Wade didn't play much, and he was about to explode at the beginning of the second half, thinking about that person's firepower, Barkley had a headache. But for the sake of his own face, Barkley still chose to stick to his opinion.

"Well, Sir Charles, let's see who has the last laugh." Kenny. Smith said with a smile on his face, he was just pulling Barkley, and he was very aware of the cheekiness of this partner.

Compared with the secret competition between the TNT, CCYA's side is much more harmonious, and Yu Jia and Zhang Lili have spared no effort to praise Li Yao's performance.

"Mr. Zhang, do you think the reason why Li Yao was able to fight with Chris in the first half. Paul, an All-Star-level point guard, has played back and forth, is it because Li Yao has regained his form? Yu Jia took advantage of the intermission to ask Teacher Zhang Li on the side.

"It is obvious that Li Yao played more active and aggressive in this game than in the previous game, and from this point we can analyze that Li Yao should have found his own form, in fact, when he played Spurs in the last game, Li Yao's state has a tendency to recover, so I believe that Li Yao will once again become the best rookie contender that people are looking forward to in the next game." Teacher Zhang Li now has the nickname of "Li Blowing" in addition to the nickname of "Branch Blowing".

"So who does Mr. Zhang think will win the game in the end?" Yu Jia asked casually.

In the first half, the two point guards have shown themselves with a reasonable style of play, and in the second half, both the Hornets and the Heat's strongest scorer Wade must step up outside of the two point guards, and their performance can ultimately determine the direction of the game.

Mr. Zhang is actually more optimistic about the Hornets in his heart, after all, in his eyes, the Hornets' lineup is more reasonable, but who makes the Heat their home team, face must always be given.

"Then the audience in front of the TV will take a break, and after a commercial, we will continue to bring you the second half of the game between the Hornets and the Heat." Yu Jia interspersed advertisements just right under the prompting of the director.

As soon as the second half began, as everyone expected, the two point guards who contributed wonderful performances in the first half successively covered their edges and began to mobilize the team.

This side of Peja. Stojakovic threw in a three-pointer, and Wade hit a dunk on a breakaway.

Even though the matchup has changed from the point guards of both sides to the whole team of both sides, the excitement has not diminished at all, and the fans who watched the New Orleans Arena were enthusiastic, lamenting that today's tickets were not bought in vain.

The two sides play a wonderful offensive but it doesn't mean that the defense is bad, the Hornets and the Heat, who are also mainly defensive counterattacks, have a good defense, but they can't stand up to the hot hands of both of them today, when you see Peja. Stojakovic slid into the basket after Marion's 24-second halt by a quick three-point shot and Wade was forced to stop by a defensive foul and threw the basketball into the basket.

When there were 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter of the game, when the score of the two sides was still 117-117, the Heat had the ball, Wade did not hesitate to use lightning steps to force through the Hornets' defense and put the ball into the basket. Although Chandler really wanted to give Wade a hot pot, he chose to endure it considering the remaining time.

Li Yao glanced at the timer, there were only 30 seconds left at this time, and Wade's attack just now took no more than 10 seconds, Li Yao knew that the ball Hornets would definitely run out of time, but whether the Hornets would choose to gamble on the three-point game or stabilize and drag it into overtime with two points, Li Yao has no way of knowing.

Between Chris. Paul stood near the center circle, staring at the Heat halftime timer, counting the time, and as the time passed by second, the mood of the Heat players began to get a little restless.

At this moment, Peja. Stojakovic moved, slipped the bottom line and Tyson. After a cross cover from Chandler, he was even more with Morris. Peterson made another cover and pulled to the outside of the three-point line.

And Chris. Paul is also in Peja. The moment Stojakovic started up, this time it made Li Yao in a dilemma, whether he wanted to make up for Peja. Stojakovich.

Li Yao gritted his teeth and gave up on Chris. Paul's defense rushed towards Peja, who was empty in front of him. Stojakovich.

But even though the figure pounced, Li Yao's eyes were still locked on Chris. Paul when he saw Chris. After a smile on the corner of Paul's mouth, Li Yao knew that the ball must have been made by Chris. Paul himself came to the shot, and although he turned his head to stop his figure, Chris . Paul had already struck.

With a "bang", the basketball simply hollowed into the net, only the sound of the basketball brushing the net, Li Yao couldn't help but sigh, and he was helpless in the face of such a ball.

However, Li Yao hurriedly sorted out his emotions, the game was not over yet, and there were still 6 seconds left for the Heat.

The Heat, who didn't have a timeout, served directly from the baseline, and the Hornets hit Chris. Paul's leadership led the defense to press the whole court and slow down the Heat's advance.

In the end, Wade's hurried three-pointer came out of the basket, and it was also destined for this matchup between the two winning teams of the Heat and the Hornets, and the Hornets had the last laugh.
