Chapter Twenty-Nine: I Was Cautious

The Madison Square Garden, New York and Hornets game starts at 9 p.m. sharp.

Today's game was played in New York, so several of TNT's biggest names were on the scene. At the scene Charles Barkley, Chris Webb, Kenny Smith, the three people who are used to their surnames began to talk and laugh.

"You all know the argument between Horn and Studamayre before!"

Barkley spoke first, but in an understated tone. Chris Webb chuckled and said, "Of course, of course we do. Stoudamire is a bit of a problem this time, and what your teammates will think of any team if you say something like that! What would such a coach think? For a team, the unity in the dressing room is sometimes more important than having a superstar. “

Kenny Smith also nodded and said, "We can despise Horn, but we can't despise all the role players, because they include teammates who help you pass the ball, help you defend, and help you scramble." Starmeier's remarks this time really went a little too far! ”

"But for now, there will be more fans who want to see Horn and Stadamire fight. I wonder what Horn will do today! He's also a very variable player. ”

Barkley blithely shifted the subject again, but Chris Webb and Kenny Smith were happy to talk about it as well. Horn's sudden rise, and then all of a sudden it became a little more flat, is really topical.

Kenny Smith immediately said excitedly: "Indeed, Horn looks nervous, and I wouldn't be surprised if he scored 50 points one day." ”

"Yes! Horn really fits the bill of the interior in basketball today, and in our day and age, the interior needs to be in the middle of the court and play to their talents. But at this time, the big man needs to use the cunning movement to occupy the advantageous position as the small man, and once he has the position, he has to solve the problem within 2 seconds, and the truth is to run fast and more. In this case, Horn, who is very fast, does have a lot of opportunities to score easily, such as air cuts and offensive and defensive transitions! ”

While the three of them were chatting, the game finally began.

The Hornets and the Knicks are not very different in terms of real strength at the moment, so the game is very stalemate.

The first quarter was played for more than half of the time, and the two teams did not distinguish the winner at all. In this way, Ball was not in a hurry to go to Horn, and waited until there were two and a half minutes left before the end of the first quarter, when Stadamyre was replaced with a dead ball, and Ball was replaced by Horn.

Ball's move obviously made fans and commentators very dissatisfied, and everyone was waiting to see Horn vs. Stoudamire! He was replaced by Horn after Stoadmeire was replaced.

Kick-off on the touchline and passed to Thornton, and Horn hurriedly went to 45 degrees to block Peja first, and then spun around to cut into the air.

Horn moved so fast that Tullyav who defended him was really a little uncomfortable, and he followed Horn hard to the other side of the court, but Horn slipped the bottom line like a guard and ran a big circle, so Tullyav finally couldn't stand it, and he let go of Horn 2 steps away.

The Frenchman thought to himself, "Anyway, you didn't shoot well in the past two games, so I don't have to follow you."

Horn was in the open space, Peja immediately passed the basketball to Horn's hands, and Thorton saw Horn take the ball and hurriedly ran over to catch it.

But Horn showed a weird smile to Thorton, and then turned around himself, and shot directly without even adjusting.

Seeing Horn make a move so easily, Bauer's heart galloped over 10,000 grass horses. Didn't I tell you to be cautious? You're so cautious, do you think you're Ray Allen?

Thornton also watched in despair as Horn threw the ball too high, and he had watched Horn waste a lot of such opportunities in the past two games.

Seeing Horn make a move, Barkley was excited, and he shouted on the side: "Look, Horn made a shot, he marked the shot with his surname!" Anyway, this shooting action is a bit similar to Anthony. ”

"Brush!"

Barkley's words were not finished, and Thorton had just shown his disappointment when Ball wanted to scold his mother, but Horn's mid-range shot went in.

When you enter, you feel like you have nothing to say! The Hornets could only run back, but at this time Kenny Barkley still leaned towards the guard and said: "Thorton's position is better than Horne's, Thorton's shooting is also more reliable than Horne's, Horne doesn't pass the ball, and he is still a little too obsessed with his own offense." ”

The Knicks played off the bench mainly playing Gallinari, Tony Douglas, Fields and other stragglers' outside offense.

Horn's power on the defensive end is evident in this kind of fragmented offense, which can delay the opponent's perimeter at any time and protect the basket when he comes back. The fast-paced development of modern basketball is really in Horn's favor.

The Knicks didn't hit a two-game breakaway, and Gallinari made a mistake when he passed the ball out.

The Hornets' bench started to get off to a fast start, with Belinelli stealing the ball and turning his back pass to Horne, who was running to the front.

Horn ran faster than Thornton because of the opportunity, and only Tony Douglas could keep up with Horn on the Knicks' side.

However, the height difference between the two is too far, and if Douglass doesn't foul, he can't do anything about Horn. Horn made an easy layup against Douglas and scored two points immediately.

Horn scored four points in a row as soon as he came out, allowing the two teams to open up the gap between the scores that they had been insisting on until now.

At 26:21, the Hornets led the Knicks by 5 points, and seeing Horn's performance, the head coach of the Knicks, Daniels, also twitched in the face. He was the initiator of the Sun's run-and-gun tactics and the one who only knew speed and space best. Seeing Horn's fast speed and the ability to shoot in the middle, he was very greedy.

Pulled away, Daniels turned back and didn't think about defending, instead yelling for his players to run and shoot when they had a chance.

At this time, the Knicks did not have a guard with a wide vision who was good at blocking and dismantling, and Danthony's set of running and bombing could not be coordinated at all, Horn just routinely helped guard teammates to help defend, and forced the Knicks to make a mistake.

Thorton took the ball this time and broke through quickly, scored two points directly on a layup, and the difference instantly stretched to 7 points.

Horn's speed is very suitable for Dantony's fast attack, but in the same way, once suitable, it is also very restrained Danthony's fast attack. Because Horn can run with the Knicks, he can help defend in a wide range of halftime, so that the opposing guard has few opportunities.

After the two teams tied in the main time, and after Horn came off the bench, the Knicks actually had a tendency to be beaten.

This made Stadameyer, who was sitting on the sidelines, look very unsightly!
