Chapter 222: The Runaway Showdown with MKG

At the moment of rotation, seeing that the Celtics still kept Horford on the court, Hornets coach Clifford made an unconventional substitution, replacing Hibbert with Kaminski, who is 2.13 meters tall and can play three positions as center and forward, once made the Celtics with Yahai suffer in the summer league, and the flexible Kaminsky is enough to keep up with Horford's footsteps on the court.

Celtics coach Stevens kept Horford in the first quarter substitution, replacing Amir Johnson with Kelly Olynyk, Jack Crowder for Leafy, RJ Hunter for Brandon Rush, and Marcus Smart for Chris Paul. In this way, the Celtics will use the combination of Horford + Crowder to lead the second team on the court!

In addition to Kaminski, the Hornets replaced Marvin Williams with Spencer Hawes, a 2.16-meter big man who can shoot 3-pointers, to continue to maintain outside firepower, and Jerry Milan replaced Batum, who performed well, after the break, and replaced Kemba Walker with Raymond Sessions. The inside line stands on two 2.13m+ big people, and their movements are quite flexible, replaced by the fast Lamb and Sessions, plus Michael Kidd Gilchrist, who has not yet found his form in the first quarter, is a set of flexible and mobile tactics with MKG as the offensive core!

It seems that the Hornets coach is hoping to use the second team at home to quickly establish a lead, after all, just played back-to-back games yesterday, the more the game dragged on to the end, the more unfavorable it is for his team, it is better to take advantage of the start to open the score and win the game in one go.

MKG, whose full name is Michael Kidd Gilchrist, the small forward who won the NCAA championship for the University of Kentucky in the 2011-12 season, was selected by the Bobcats, now known as the Hornets, in the 2012 draft.

The cruel truth is that Jordan does have a discerning eye and can tap many young players with full potential, but in terms of developing players and tapping potential, Joe's level of help is not flattering. Before MKG had time to break out, he was reimbursed in the regular season the year before, and did not return until the whole year, and unexpectedly became the team scoring leader of the Hornets that year, averaging 18 points and 7 rebounds per game.

Therefore, this season, Clifford has formed a second team with him as the core for MKG, hoping to fully unleash MKG's energy, after all, when Walker and Batum are on the floor, MKG has limited time to hold the ball.

MKG also lived up to the head coach's expectations, fully showing his athleticism and open shooting in the first game against the Heat, and was not afraid of physical confrontation at all, frequently impacting the Heat interior line led by the white side, bringing a victory to the Hornets with 29 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists.

Although he was a little uncomfortable in the confrontation with Ye Hai, only scoring 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting, MKG seemed to have found his form in the second lineup after Walker and Batum went off.

Although Jack Crowder is also a player with a tough style, in the face of MKG, the rough characteristics of Crowder's skills are infinitely amplified, and the basic skills of MKG are very solid, even in the face of Crowder's physical impact and tight defense, the action is not deformed in the slightest!

In the remaining 3-point time in the first quarter, MKG shot 3 of 3, and also caused a 2+1, scoring 7 points and contributing 2 assists, which made Crowder, who had just been replaced, suffer.

Looking at the Green Shirts inside general Horford, after using the flexibility of his feet to gain the upper hand in the duel with Hibbert at the beginning, facing Kaminsky, who can also run and jump, and can shoot suddenly, the performance is not as relaxed as in the opening stage, facing a weakened version of himself who is 7 years younger than himself, but 5cm taller than himself, Horford still got 4 points and 3 rebounds, but it was not enough to lead the team to open the score.

After receiving a wonderful pass from Sessions, Hawes hit a 3-point shot to end the first quarter after overtaking the score by 2 points!

27-29! In the competition of the second team, the Hornets really beat the Celtics!

Seeing that Crowder was completely at a disadvantage in the alignment with MKG, Stevens immediately switched to Yahai at the beginning of the second quarter.

Seeing the Green Army's small forward, who made him very uncomfortable in the first quarter, MKG was even more excited.

"Okay, let me give you some color in the second section!" MKG, who has regained his form, is looking forward to the start of the race.

In the second quarter, the Hornets took the lead in attacking, and after Walker, who had been replaced on the court, dribbled the ball to the front court, MKG immediately ran out of the empty space under the block of his teammates, and the ball arrived!

MKG received Walker's pass, and in front of Kelly Olynyk, who was defending himself because of the change of defense, MKG did not pause, and directly accelerated away from the tall opponent and went straight to the basket.

Ye Hai, who has a keen sense of smell, has already predicted MKG's offensive choice, after Hawes blocked himself, Ye Hai did not bypass Hawes's body to chase MKG, but stuck Hoyce behind him, and at the same time observed MKG's movements, and when he saw the opponent accelerating, he immediately ran to the basket to prepare to make up for the defense!

MKG jumped immediately after the sprint, at this moment Ye Hai had also rushed to the basket and jumped up to block, the collision between the two in the air was like a spark of impact, under Ye Hai's full defense, MKG took a step ahead and smashed the ball into the basket before Ye Hai blocked!

This domineering dunk immediately detonated the home fans, and screams and cheers came one after another! After scoring this goal, MKG seemed to spit out the resentment that he did not play well under Ye Hai's defense in the first quarter, "Woo~~~!" He roared loudly, expressing the excitement in his chest, while staring at Ye Hai who was standing beside him, and pointing to the panel held high by a fan on the sidelines!

The panel reads: I'm not "Michael" Jordan, I'm not Jason "Kidd", I'm Gilchrist!

"Hey, interesting!" The battle intent in Ye Hai's heart also burst out at this moment!

27-31! The Hornets took the lead in the second quarter with a dunk by MKG in the air against Ye Hai's defense.

In the next round, Ye Hai ran out of the gap through active running on the field, and when Ye Hai ran out of the opportunity, he immediately shouted loudly to Smart: "Here!" ”

Smart, who was hesitating to choose an attack, subconsciously passed the ball to Ye Hai's hands immediately, and in the summer league, Smart was already convinced of Ye Hai's strength.

Ye Hai had just received a pass, and MKG had already quickly defended in place.

Seeing that the opponent's foothold was not stable, Ye Hai took advantage of the speed and strength of the pass, held the ball in both hands and went to the right side in the direction of the pass, and immediately passed by MKG's side!

"So fast!" MKG was shocked, Ye Hai had already broken through by his side!

After breaking through the MKG defense, it was his "enemy" in the summer league who was guarding the basket Frank Kaminski!

Kaminsky saw Ye Hai rushing over, and immediately prepared to step forward to block, but saw that the other party was still one meter away from him and began to jump, high... Flying?!

"Boom!" With a bang, Ye Hai slammed the basketball in his hand into the basket with a slam on Kaminsky! The sound of the basketball being dunked into the hoop made a loud bang through the microphone mounted on the backboard, which surprised all the fans in attendance!

"What just happened?" A Hornets fan asked in surprise.

"I seem to see Maddie riding Bradley!" Fellow Hornets fans were equally surprised, but with a hint of excitement!

The most excited performance of the Celtics team is Paul, who lives in the same room with Ye Hai, he waved the towel in his hand, and like other players who did not play, he jumped up from the bench like a spring in the moment after Ye Hai scored!

"My name is Ye Hai and I'm from Zijin Middle School in Jinling, China!" Ye Hai turned his head and said slowly to the surprised MKG who was standing behind him. (To be continued.) )
