Chapter 19: The Infuriating Pitch

In this big net carefully compiled by Thibodu, Horn seems to be extremely active, running everywhere and fighting everywhere, but it has no effect on the team. Horn himself didn't get a point, and he was constantly delayed in the position, and the dead card master position did not allow Horn to cut smoothly and did not give Horn room to break through.

In the process of switching between offense and defense, Thibodu even choked a pass, as long as Horn got the ball, someone would definitely come up and delay Horn.

In this way, Horn did nothing in the offensive and defensive transitions, and at the end of the first quarter, Horn had a muddy life on the court, without any achievements, and the whole person played very actively, but there was no result.

In this situation, Horn knew that he was being targeted again, and the Bulls were using the entire team to curb their speed.

What's next? Only mid-range shooting, although his shooting percentage is still not very ideal, and he has never been a shooting player, but this is the only way to solve the current predicament.

Horn didn't play well during this period, his teammates didn't play well, Thorton's frequent singles just got into the Bulls' defensive trap, Peja was really old, and all kinds of mispositions on the defensive end, if it wasn't for Horne's quick defense, the Hornets' basket would have been spent. Aaron is also just a defensive player.

The Hornets and Bulls were tied without the presence of Paul off the bench, and now just three minutes into the first quarter, the Hornets trailed the Bulls by six points at 29-23.

There was such a situation, and Horn was completely suppressed. McTrick said at the end of the first quarter: "Horn played a dull few minutes! There was no play. This is very different from Horn's previous two performances! ”

"Yes!" Hubby Brown thought for a moment before saying, "Horn didn't score in the first quarter, but he didn't run and scramble a lot in the first quarter. It is not Horn's fault that the Bulls have made a comprehensive defensive setup for Horne, and Hornets head coach Ball has not given Horne the corresponding tactical support. In terms of controlling the team, there is no comparison between Bauer's background as a general manager and his background as an assistant coach in Thibodo. ”

Hubby Brown attributed Horn's dumb fire to Ball, and it is true that playing as a role player requires space from the whole team.

Hubby Brown can be very objective about Horn, but on the Internet, among other commentators, they can't be so objective.

ESPN commentator John Jon, who was not optimistic about Horn from the beginning, shut up in the first two games, and today he immediately wrote on his Twitter as soon as he saw Horn not performing well.

"Horn is finally revealed today, this is his true face!"

Denver ball critic and Anthony's loyal supporter Jonathan also took the opportunity to jump out at this time and said: "This is the person who wants to compete with Anthony, a player who can't even complete the offense alone!" ”

These two people teamed up to return to Black Horn, and fans who were not used to watching Horn before were also angry and scolded Horn on the Internet.

"What the hell! I still want to compare with Anthony like this! ”

"Just run blindly, Horn can't find the rhythm of playing at all."

"People who can't even shoot want to compare with Anthony, his IQ is really problematic!"

Horn's poor first quarter was immediately met with a lot of criticism. Who let him say crazy things before, played two more good games, and now the opposition finally has a chance to fight back and don't hurry up immediately.

Bauer was also a little blind at this time, he had never eaten pork but had seen the pig run, and knew that this was Xibodu's defensive means, and he also wanted to think of some methods, but this kind of on-the-spot command was not something that could be thought of with a pat on the head.

In the end, Ball just told Horn off the court that you could play more freely in the second quarter, and Ball wanted Horn to play the kind of brilliant pass against the Celtics, but Horn clearly thought it was going in the wrong direction, and he thought the head coach also recognized that he could shoot.

The game returned to the court in the second quarter, and the Bulls' Horn's defense continued to delay according to the previous plan, and then let Gibson hold Horn's air cut and breakaway line. In this way, Horn still did not have a chance to cut and break through, but because Gibson wanted to block the position, he let go of Horn's space to take a step.

Horn ran out to catch the ball and saw that Gibson was so far away from him. He mustered up the courage and raised his hand for a mid-range shot.

Horn had done a lot of practice and was mentally prepared, but when it came time to shoot, Horn's movements were still a little out of shape because he hadn't done it on the court for too long.

"Bang!"

This time, despite his shooting skills, Horn did not shoot at a good pace and missed the ball. Not only was 10 energy points wasted, but Horn's confidence was somewhat damaged.

Horn suddenly shot a mid-range shot, but the crowd and the coaching staff on either side were dumbfounded.

Because Horn didn't shoot at all before, he suddenly held back one so that a group of people couldn't figure out the situation.

At this time, Hubby Brown also accused Horn a little and said: "Horn is in a hurry! It's a good idea to give your teammates some advice! Why do you want to do it yourself. ”

Ball even saw Horn's shot, and he had the urge to kill Horn. You're a defensive player, and you're fine!

Only Thibodu laughed when he saw Horn's shot, he thought that Horn was beating randomly, and the more the other party beat him, of course, the more welcoming he was.

It was Horn's teammate, and Thorton closed his eyes when he saw Horn shoot on the court.

Horn's shot this time was very incomprehensible, and he didn't shoot himself, and his confidence was also lost.

Horn missed a mid-range shot and gave the team a chance to grab a rebound.

Asik grabbed the rebound and turned and passed to Watson, who is not a guard who plays fancy, destructive. But he's a very consistent defender and a good fit for a team with very strong discipline.

Watson came with the ball, pressed to the baseline, and suddenly passed the ball wide to Korver outside.

Korver hit a three-pointer to give the Bulls a nine-point lead over the Hornets at 32:23.

Against a team like the Bulls, every time you squander a chance, you're one step closer to death.

The Hornets kicked off the baseline, and Thorton took the ball and wanted to attack on his own, but he was forced by the Bulls' team defense.

Belinelli is not an individual offensive player, Peja can't shoot himself, only Horn is still running fast on the court, and Thorton can only pass the basketball to Horn.

Horn wanted to break through with the ball in his first step, but Gibson suddenly took a big step back, and he had Asik next to him, Watson on his side, and Brewer on the other side. The Bulls' defense is not a joint defense, and it is not all aimed at themselves, but they have blocked themselves with no room to break through.

That's it!

Horn retracted the basketball and threw another mid-range throw with his hand.

Ball jumped in anger as Horn shot the ball, Thorton closed his eyes, and Hubby Brown hugged his head and sighed.
