Chapter Seventy-One: We Are All Good Boys

The Hornets have been playing so hot lately that New Orleans' home stadium is packed out tonight.

Hornets fans were frustrated that the game was not interesting, but since Horne's rise, the Hornets' game has simply become more and more energetic and passionate. Horne made 10 three-pointers in the last game, and today he is still fighting with the Mavericks, and the Hornets are currently 0.5 games away from the sixth place.

The home court of the Hornets is not only hot, but ESPN also did a national live broadcast of today's game.

Now the Hornets and Horne are simply national favorites, and the eyes of fans throughout the NBA are almost focused on Horne and the Hornets.

Now that the season is over, the other teams can prepare to fish, the qualifiers are ready for the playoffs, and the only Hornets are still content, so ESPN must broadcast the Hornets for the sake of ratings.

Bill Wharton and Albert, ESPN's heirlooms, said before the game: "Horne and the Hornets took the season by storm, and in a way they succeeded. Horne became an indispensable name in the league, and the Hornets also made the playoffs. Now they have to challenge the mighty Mavericks at home, and the Hornets have the temperament of a team, and I don't know if they will be able to maintain this lineup next season. ”

Albert immediately said, 'I don't think it's likely!' Bauer's operation is too bad to look at people's eyes. If he can't get the right reinforcements this summer, Paul will definitely leave. ”

"If Paul is gone, is there any point in Horn staying? The Hornets have so much debt right now that they have no hope of making a big deal in the next few years, and Horne can't stay with the Hornets as long as he has the slightest ambition, and staying at the Hornets is just a waste of his time! Everyone knows about it! ”

"So the current wasp may be the best wasp in the next few years!" Bill Wharton understood what Albert meant.

"Quite possibly, let's see if the Hornets can beat the Mavericks right now. Although the Mavericks have had bad luck in recent years, they are still strong and they have played especially well this season. I think the Mavericks are very strong today, they have the quality to compete for the championship, it depends on how prepared they are on the mental level this season. ”

"The Mavericks are really strong, and they've been especially strong defensively this season. The defensive style used by the Mavericks is very special, I just don't know how the Hornets will respond! ”

When Bill Wharton and Albert communicated, Horn was familiar with the feel on the court. In the past, no one paid attention to Horn's practice on the court, but now Horn's every move will be cheered by the fans.

Horn now has some star fans, and Yun Tang, who was watching the game on the court at this time, said unconvinced: "This guy is such a stinky fart!" ”

Yun Zhu looked at Yun Tang and smiled with a smile in his eyes: "Sister Yun Tang, I think Horn is very handsome!" It doesn't stink at all. ”

"What's handsome! You stinky girl, don't refute me! ”

Yuntang didn't expect that Yunzhu, a little traitor, actually didn't agree with him, and immediately came over to grab Yunzhu, Yunzhu writhed and dodged on the seat, where the two of them were laughing and playing.

Although Horn was practicing, he had been looking over here intentionally or unintentionally, and when he saw where the two girls were laughing, he couldn't help but tilt the corners of his mouth on the court.

When the game time came, the game between the two teams officially began, and the starting lineup on the Mavericks' side was outrageously strong. Point guard Jason Kidd, scoring guard Boibie, small forward Marion, power forward Nowitzki, center Tyson Chandler.

The line-up has a steady old Kidd on the back line, with an impactful young Bois. Marion is full of mobility on the forward line, Nowitzki is extremely capable of scoring, and there is also a Chandler who is defensively against the sky. This lineup really wants anything! Experienced, dynamic, defensive, heightened, defensive, more offensive.

Compared to the Mavericks' lineup, the Hornets' lineup can be called rudimentary.

Chandler easily clicked the ball away on Okafor's head, and the Mavericks attacked first.

Chandler is also a former Hornets player, and the cooperation between Chandler and Paul was still very pleasant, but then Ball did not leave Chandler because of a series of operational mistakes, which caused a rift in the relationship between himself and Paul.

At this time, Paul and Chandler are already different when they meet, Chandler plays very well in the Mavericks, Okafor often plays soy sauce in the Hornets, and the gap between the two is too big.

The Mavericks got the ball and immediately launched an attack around Nowitzki, who has gone through huge setbacks such as being black-eight, eliminated in the Finals, and so on, and he is even stronger this season.

Previously, Nowitzki was considered a softie, was considered to have all sorts of shortcomings, and had failed countless times on the court. But he never gave up, although he never made a noise, but he was silently working hard. This season, Nowitzki's offensive tools have become more abundant, and his ability to play key balls has also grown tremendously.

These are not the strongest parts of Nowitzki, the strongest thing about Nowitzki this season is that he has learned to respond.

In previous seasons, Nowitzki was a pure attacker, but this season is different, this season Nowitzki, like all old players, has figured out how to move the team at all times.

The team's style of play and passing lines have taken root in Nowitzki's mind, and he is now able to put the team up and running against high-intensity defences.

In this way, Nowitzki is not the end of the team's attack, he can be the starting point or the end point. The team's offense can all be built around this powerful axis, something Duncan did years ago, and now Nowitzki has done it.

Nowitzki is the axis, Kidd is the dispatch, and Chandler is the main defense, and the Hornets really can't fight against such a lineup.

The two teams were disproportionate in terms of absolute strength, and the Mavericks beat the Hornets without a fight over a few rounds.

The Mavericks' side is not only disciplined offensively, but also powerful defensively, and their defense is not an oppressive defense like the Heat, but a team-controlled defense like the Spurs.

The Heat force you to drop the ball and force you to make mistakes, while the defense of the Spurs and Mavericks controls you, and you can do whatever I want you to do, and what you don't want to do is just not possible. The Mavericks are now relying on Chandler, and Kidd and Marion have also achieved that level of defense.

The wasp is as fragile as a child in front of such a calf.
