Chapter 34: The Petty Massacre
In the Knicks' half, Horn came out to get the ball, and at this time, according to Dantony's arrangement, Randolph should have come out to defend, but Stoudamire didn't, he came to Horn in front of him in advance and one-on-one with Horn.
Stadamyre is brilliant offensively, but idiotic and mentally retarded defensively. Rasheed Wallace of the Pistons Five Tigers has said that Stadamire is the bank on the defensive end, and he can go whenever he wants to score points.
With such a player to defend Horn, Horn suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and his defense was not as good as Turyaf. Horn flicked it lightly, then took a straight left break to pass Stodamayre.
Stoudeyer was also slow after the injury, and his defensive skills were also insufficient, and Randolph under the Knicks basket hurriedly came up to help defend, but he was also a step late, and when he collided with Horn, Horn was already halfway to the shot.
"Bang!"
Horn is knocked to the side, but the ball in Horn's hand is thrown into the opponent's basket.
"Didi!"
The referee's whistle blew, and Horn easily played a 2+1!
Horn and Studamayre one-on-one, Stodameyer came to a mid-distance first, Horn immediately 2+1, went to the free throw line, and Horn hit a steady free throw.
Stoudeyer arrived at the Hornets' half and wanted to attack with the ball. Horn knew that he was definitely inferior to Stadameyer in attack, so he simply went around the front to prevent Stodamimair from receiving the ball.
Stodameyer thought that his one-on-one with Horn would be above board, but he didn't expect that Horn didn't play according to the routine and didn't let Stodameyer catch the ball at all.
Stadameyer is angry to death! Barkley also covered his face at this time and said: "Horn, this guy is really not good, so Stadameyer will be in trouble!" ”
Stoudeyer couldn't get the ball and was in a hurry, and he forced the ball from a dangerous position. When Filton saw that the team boss was so resolute, he couldn't pass it, but the basketball came out, and Horn jumped over and stealed the basketball at once.
Stealing the basketball, Horn ran forward with the ball, Starmeier couldn't keep up with Horn's Gallinari hurriedly chased, but Horn threw the basketball directly into the hands of Belinelli on the side, and Belinelli took the ball and stopped the jump shot.
The Hornets scored two more points!
After Stodameyer came on the field, he did not close the score of the two teams, but the difference between the two teams continued to widen.
The difference between the two teams widened to 15 points, and Stoudeyer on the Knicks' side was still unable to catch the ball after Horn was forced to defend him.
At this time, Filton could only attack by himself and caused a foul on Thorton. Facton was too fat for a skinny monkey like Thorton to handle. Ball immediately used the free throws to swap Paul and West.
He brought on these two men but did not replace Horn, and continued to let Horn play the center position.
At present, Ball has used Horne easily, and once Paul returns to the court, the atmosphere of the Hornets will be immediately different.
The offense is no longer dominated by Horn, Paul takes the ball himself, and West and Horn take turns to go up and block the pick-and-roll.
The Knicks were already very loose defensively, and the score was behind, and Paul drilled a gap in three or two shots, and turned back to pass to West, who was in the high post.
West was very stable in the middle range, he took the ball Randolph and Studamayre came over to wrap it up, West made an easy pass to the ground at this time, and sent the basketball to Horn, who cut towards the basket, and Horn took the ball and smashed it on the head of the Knicks with a violent dunk.
At 35:52, the Hornets were already 17 points ahead of the opposing team. The point difference is about to reach 20 points, and even the Knicks can't help it.
Dantony immediately called a timeout and rearranged the offensive tactics, and the Hornets also rearranged in this gap.
Ball is really using Horn's hand now, and at this time he has also assigned a task to Horn in the main lineup.
He let Paul control the ball, let West dominate the low post offense, and let Horn play more high post.
Horn has gained a dominant place in the bench and has a central position in the main lineup.
After the timeout, the Knicks still played the same tactics as before, but played a little more resolute and detail-oriented.
After Filton and Stoudamire blocked and dismantled, they passed the ball to Roger Mason on the side during the breakaway, and Mason took the ball and shot a direct three-pointer, and the Knicks finally recovered three points.
The Knicks began to breathe a sigh of relief, but the fast break on the Hornets' side ran up after the Knicks' offense.
After the team has Horne, the Hornets' fast break is indeed much faster! Although the Knicks themselves are also fast, they can't do anything about a big misplaced player like Horn before they settle down on the ground.
When Horn ran to the Knicks' basket, only Felton and Gallinelli ran back from the Knicks' side.
He was at absolute height under the basket, Paul passed the ball, and Horn easily scored two points on Felton's head with his height under the basket.
In the previous game, the two teams were evenly matched, since Horne came out, first blew up Turyaf, and then opened up the difference in individual singles, and now Horne is completely kneaded into the Hornets system. In positional battles, Horn can play high shots and air cuts, and between offensive and defensive transitions, Horn can get to the basket the fastest and bully opposing guards with his height.
This kind of Horn is not a role player at all, but more like a core, at least the role of a secondary core player.
The Knicks are very eager to score, but Horn really restrains them, Horn, your speed makes the Knicks' half-court blocking and dismantling unable to play well, and the fast attack Horn can quickly run with them, even faster than them, which also makes Dantony's Knicks how to play, you play run and bomb, and as a result, the opponent's center is about the same speed as your forward, which is not possible to play at all.
When the Knicks couldn't play, Horn, who was supported by the entire team system, scored two points from a mid-range point at a while, a fast down at a while, and a rebound at a while. He rarely had the ball, but his points continued to grow, with Horne scoring 25 points at halftime and the Hornets leading the Knicks by as many as 20 points.
Originally, with the Knicks' scoring ability, 20 points were not impossible to catch, but in the second half, Stoudamayre had to hold the ball more and single, and the result did not take too much advantage of Horn, and it also delayed the Knicks' offense.
As a result, at the end of the third quarter, Horn scored 34 points himself, helping the team stretch the gap to 30 points.
The Knicks are an offensive team, but not a battered team. With such a big difference, they couldn't fight anymore, so they simply disarmed and surrendered.
The Hornets slaughtered the Knicks on the Knicks' home court, and Horne scored 34 points alone! When this result came out, the three people in the TNT commentary seat were shocked! The whole league was also shocked.
After two silent battles, the Great Demon King of Horn actually came back with full blood.
