Chapter 121: No suspense

The head coach of the Hornets is called Dave Cowens, who used to be the center of the Green Shirts, with average physical fitness, but with his brilliant brains became the starting center of the Green Shirts, and was selected to the top 50 superstars in this year's All-Star Game, and further on, he was also an assistant coach for the Spurs, serving as an assistant to Bob Hill.

And this season is his first season in charge of the Hornets, and in the first season, he led the Hornets to complete the rebuild, rushed to the playoffs, and won 50 games, which shows his good points.

At this time, Dave Cowens was walking back and forth on the sidelines, thinking of a way to deal with Johnny, who had already begun to run wild.

Jonny on the field is playing very happily, he has already thrown his hand away, and now Jonny is almost an empty-handed run to shake off the opponent, and then quickly catch the ball and shoot, almost every ball can be hit. And this is what many people call Jonny's horror, as long as Jonny is allowed to shoot, then Jonny's score will become very simple.

Soon, however, Dave Cowens, who was on the sidelines, slapped his hand, as if he had made up his mind, and then called a timeout. And when he came back from the timeout, Jonny felt a huge pressure from the playoffs - the full-court bag! Or a weakened version of Jordan's Law! The Hornets even made a substitution, replacing Rafael Addison with a fierce style to defend Jonny.

Rafael Addison began to use his strong body to grab positions with Jonny, and used very large movements to fight against Jonny, so that Jonny actually became difficult to receive Anfernee Hardaway's pass, even if Jonny started his crazy run without the ball, it was difficult to shake off Rafael Addison.

Suddenly, the situation on the field became difficult, Jonny struggled to shake off Rafael Addison, received the ball that Anfernee Hardaway had to pass, just stood still, Jonny felt a strong force behind him, Rafael Addison rampaged, pretended not to brake the car, and hit Jonny.

Jonny forced himself down, but the ball was almost dropped, looking at Rafael Addison's innocent expression, Jonny knew that this guy was pretending.

However, Jonny is not willing to worry about this, he feels the Hornets' change in his defensive strategy, and at this time, he has to help his teammates find their form, and he has been playing some individual singles on his own.

Jonny took the ball, two consecutive crotch-down dribbles, plus a turn after a back dribble, past Rafael Addison, instantly attracting multiple defenders, at which point Jonny hit the ball with a ground pass. Doug Christie, who was outside the three-point line, took the ball and shot it successfully!

Three points! After Doug Christie's three-point shot, the Magic stretched the gap to 5 points!

"Jonny Lee's pass, he caught the attention of almost all the players in the Hornets! Ultimately helped Doug Christie get this open spot. ”

At the end of the first quarter, in the second half of the first quarter, the Hornets stepped up their defense against Jonny, but in the end, they lost sight of one or the other, allowing the rest of the Magic players to throw away their hands. And at the end of the first quarter, the Magic led the Hornets by 8 points with more blossoms, which is already a very big point difference, after all, this is the first quarter.

"At the end of the first quarter of the game, the Magic blossomed more, but the reason for this was that Jonny Lee's outburst helped the Magic, after being beaten 7:0 by the Hornets, it was Jonny Lee who stood up and helped the Magic score again and again, and finally equalized and overtook the score, leading by 8 points in the first quarter, and the situation on the court has begun to fall to the side of the Magic."

Jonny sat on the bench and waited for Ricky Adrubatu to set out the tasks for the second quarter.

"Everyone played very well in the first quarter, and continued to hold on in the second quarter, Jonny, how's it going, can you still hold on?" Ricky Adubatu looked at Jonny, he knew what Jonny was facing in the first quarter, almost the entire Hornets team was defending Jonny alone!

Jonny nodded, indicating that he could still hold on, but the gasping for breath showed that Jonny wouldn't be able to hold out for long, even if he could.

Ricky Adubatu frowned with some hesitation, judging from the first quarter, the current Magic team's dependence on Jonny is too serious, he was a little afraid to let Jonny rest at this time, hesitated for a while, and finally let Jonny continue to play.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic side seemed to make it easier for Jonny on the offensive end, choosing to replace Denisco and Doug Christie off the court. And the Hornets' bug Boggs went to rest, and Rafael Addison, who had previously defended Jonny, was also tired and couldn't do it, and he also went out of the break. The Hornets were replaced by Dell Curry and Tony Decker.

At the start of the second quarter, the Hornets went on offense, and they fell for 16 seconds before Dell Curry hit a three-pointer in the final minute.

And when it came to the Magic offense, it became Dell Curry who defended Johnny, the father of later NBA superstar Stephen Curry, who was only a role player in the NBA at this time, but he was the leader who helped Stephen Curry become a three-point shot that later set various records. At this time, Curry Jr. was sitting on the sidelines watching the game.

Jonny noticed that the defender in front of him had changed again, and he decided to test the weak-looking black man first.

Jonny decided to use the Leather City Policewoman's E skill, but what Jonny didn't know was that the pull-up jump shot was a trick that Dell Curry was good at, and this trick was later taught to Stephen Curry by the elder Curry, and eventually became a common scoring method for Stephen Curry. As a result, Jonny's pull-up jump shot was just at the start, and it was seen through by Dell Curry. Unlike Rafael Addison in the first quarter, Dell Curry was a little more experienced defensively.

When he saw that Jonny's action was a pull-up jumper, he quickly stepped back, and then jumped with Jonny at the moment of Jonny's stop, interfering with Jonny's ball. And Jonny rested for a while, and part of the feeling disappeared, and the ball didn't have the feeling of hitting every shot in the first quarter, and finally popped out of the frame.

Dell Curry used his experience to put down Jonny's ball, and Jonny was also keenly aware of Dell Curry's defensive method, which is to anticipate his own actions. Jonny thought about it and used the European step in the Magic's next offense, and sure enough, this highly deceptive European step deceived Dell Curry and successfully hit a layup.

Jonny dragged his tired body to play the second quarter again, and under Jonny's continued outbursts, the game became no longer suspenseful, and at halftime, the Magic led by 22 points. Jonny said to a somewhat dazed Glen Les before he left the game: "Is this the intensity of the playoffs?" But that's it! In fact, Jonny was almost paralyzed, but the big lead made Jonny say this with confidence
