Chapter 70: Bang Bang Bang
The Hornets actually won the Nuggets, or a big reversal, and Horne shot 10 three-pointers in the game.
This is a huge bomb! When this bomb fell on the American media, it immediately caused a sensation in the United States.
The feud between Horn and Anthony was already well known, and this game received a lot of attention. In such a high-profile game, Horn led the big comeback, and the whole game exploded with three points. This shook the entire basketball world in one fell swoop.
Steve Kerr wrote specifically on his Twitter: "Hornju has completed a metamorphosis in this game, he has gone from a good role player to a killer player! ”
The local New Orleans media even praised Horn wildly: "Horn completely defeated Anthony in this game. He's already surpassed and Horn has surpassed Anthony in just one month, and he's our new New Orleans superstar! ”
New Orleans' comment is obviously overblown, and Horn still can't compare with Anthony in terms of function, but New Orleans uses this way to express his love for Horn.
Compared to New Orleans, the comments on Denver's side are sour, the Denver media wrote on its own sports page.
"We are so unlucky! Horn had never shot so many three-pointers in the past, and now we've got them. It's not our team's problem at all, it's just our bad luck! ”
The Nuggets blamed luck for their failures, and neutral media outlets were much more objective, as was the case with New York-based Chinese-American commentators on Mike Chang. The Nuggets failed only because of the lack of hard power, although the Hornets broke out in the second half, but the Nuggets team did not have a second reliable point except for Anthony, Billups was good but old, the impact was insufficient, and there was no way to score his own points at critical moments.
The Los Angeles media believed that the Nuggets lost the game because Horn was improving too quickly. In the previous three games, he shot only 1 of 7 three-pointers, and although the shooting percentage was miserable, it showed that Horn could still shoot three-pointers. In this situation, the Nuggets didn't take Horn seriously, which led to them giving Horn too many shots in the early stages. Even if they responded later, the response was not very perfect, and the Nuggets lost in their own mentality.
In short, after the game, there were all kinds of reports from all over the country, all kinds of praise for Horn, all kinds of ridicule for the Nuggets and Anthony.
The Nuggets and Anthony lost this game really ugly, leading by 25 points and then losing, which is really embarrassing.
So after the game, Anthony and Billups both pretended to be dead and didn't speak, and Anthony's fans were also slapped in the face, and their noses were bruised and swollen.
Let's not talk about these people who are pretending to be dead, the Nuggets lost such a humiliating game, and there are still people who are blind to titanium alloy dog's eyes and come out to wash the floor.
The Hornets' next opponent, Terry of the Mavericks, came out and said: "Horn's three-point shot is really a lucky thing, Horne is just like this once in a few years, and he must not repeat this game." Ordinary players can't do this even after playing for a few years, this is too accidental! ”
Horn clearly has no grudges with the Mavericks' players, and Steve Novak of the Mavericks actually said: "I also think the Nuggets are wronged!" As a shooter, I say it's incredible to hit so many three-pointers in a row. Horn was lucky, but he won't have that luck in the next game. We'll defend him well! ”
What's even more infuriating is that Marion of the Mavericks also responded to his teammate Novak at this time: "I know you're talking about me, I'll defend that guy well tomorrow!" ”
I'll it! Someone jumped out directly and said that he was going to defend Horn, and this Horn could bear it! Horn also wrote on his Twitter: "Some people say you need to defend me well, it looks like I need to work hard! ”
The wasps just set off a bloody storm in Denver, and here they started a verbal fight with the Mavericks, can the media resist not reporting these things?
So Horn made headlines on the first night with 10 three-pointers, and the next night again. Horn decided to continue his shooting and bloodied the Dallas Mavericks.
Horn clearly didn't say this, but the media interpreted it like this, and Horn had no choice, the media was really the uncrowned king who casually pulled hatred and played word games, and you still have no means to say them.
Horn followed the team back to New Orleans, rested at home for a night, and gave the Yun sisters a little **. The next day, Horn went straight to the arena, usually Horn goes very early, but when Horn arrived at the stadium today, he found that Peja and Paul were there.
Paul was very happy to see Horne come in and came over to say hello, although the Hornets now seem to have a lot of enemies because of Horne, but this atmosphere of fierce competition and hard work is what Paul likes, and the feeling of being forgotten by the whole league before is what Paul hates.
"Hey! Man, are you still going to shoot three-pointers tonight? ”
"If the other party gives me a chance, I must vote, otherwise how can I be worthy of Marion!"
Horn said directly that Paul likes it more, and he likes this kind of player who can fight hard.
"If you can shoot, I'll make you the ball! Let's have a good win tonight! ”
Winning is addictive, and at this time, Paul also began to seek cooperation with Horn, who smiled and said, "You wait to see my performance!" ”
While the two were chatting, they saw Peja walking towards Horn, and the old man beckoned to Horn and said, "Come here, boy!" ”
Peja has taught Horn a lot of things recently, so the two of them have changed their names a little: "Lao Tzu, what tricks do you have!" ”
Horn walked over and put his hand on Peja's shoulder, Peja looked at Horn and said, "Tell me how you felt the day before yesterday?" ”
"Of course it's cool!" Horn said directly.
Peja gave Horn a punch and said, "I asked you how it felt to shoot?" ”
"Oh!" Horn knew that Peja was going to get down to business, so he said: "The feeling of shooting that day is the feeling of being in shape, the hand feels very smooth, you can shoot no matter what, the body is also very sensitive, the touch of the ball is very strong, and the rhythm of the body is also very good." ”
"Whew!" Peja listened to Horn's words and was silent for a moment before saying, "Horn, I think you still have a certain talent for shooting." Do you know why most people have ups and downs in shooting, it is because there are many comprehensive factors on the court, physical fitness, defense, mentality, etc., which will affect the shooting percentage. But it's hard to make your shots feel like you can eliminate a lot of external factors and simply improve your shooting percentage. So I suggest you should work more on your shooting, and this summer your task should be on shooting! ”
Peja didn't know that Horn had shooting skills to simply improve the hit rate, and it was similar at this time. It can be said that his vision is very accurate, and he showed Horn the way at this time, and Horn immediately nodded again and again, and he himself was interested in working more on shooting.
The two chatted for a while, and Peja began to cooperate with Horn on the sidelines for shooting drills, at this time, Peja passed the ball to Horn while correcting Horn's movements, making him as close as possible to the action and rhythm of the shooting the day before yesterday, so that Horn could get back to his senses.
Under the guidance of a shooting master like Peja, Horn's shooting percentage really started to rise in a short period of time.
