44-43, the Kings led the Hornets away from home without the main point guard and the main scoring guard.

After missing another jumper and being grabbed by Miller for a rebound, a long pass was passed to Bobby Brown, who came off the bench to Jackson, and Brown then assisted Salmons for a layup, while the Hornets were clearly looking for a fast break.

After serving, Paul rushed directly into the half court with the ball, and with his speed advantage, he rushed towards Zhang Kong in front of him.

However, Zhang Kong's speed is definitely not slow, and he is one step higher than Paul, although it is not very obvious.

Zhang Kong's chest blocked Paul's path for the first time, and then he kept pushing Paul with his own strength.

I don't know if Paul is because he has been playing with Zhang Kong for too long, his head is funny, and he is so hard to carry Zhang Kong to prepare for a layup, such an opportunity is usually difficult to see in an official game, Zhang Kong naturally will not be polite to Paul!

"Smack!" With another crisp sound, Zhang Kong got his third block of the game, and the target of the block was none other than Chris Paul.

The Hornets, who got the defensive rebound, organized the next offense, and Rasso Butler missed a jumper from 10 feet out, turned around, and fouled Miller, who made two free throws to stretch the score to 48-43......

In the final moments of the second quarter, Maurice Peterson came on the court and miraculously hit a three-pointer in four seconds, of course, it was just a dribble, but even so, the Kings completed the away lead over the Hornets and entered the second half 48-46, as the electronic bell rang, the players of both teams walked into the players' tunnel in turn and returned to their locker rooms.

"Chris, you have to keep your own characteristics and don't be led by the nose by the kid in front of you!" Hornets coach of the year, Byron Scott, who just won the Coach of the Year award in April this year, looked at Chris Paul with his head covered in a towel in front of him and couldn't help but say helplessly, Paul is doing a very good job now.

But it doesn't look like it's enough for Byron Scott, although he has five assists and as many as 12 indirect assists so far in the first half, but he hasn't scored a point, even a notoriously talkative person like Byron Scott has now expressed his doubts about Paul's form, and he has told his players before the game to pay attention to the opponent's No. 88.

"Coach, that guy...... I don't know what to do with him! Paul shook his head, thinking of the first half of the game, Paul is still not very comfortable in his heart, in the first half of the game, he really didn't do anything.

"He's always in the most uncomfortable position for me, not letting me break through, not letting me shoot, but he doesn't care about my passing at all...... This...... I don't know what to do! "Zhang Kong's task is 0 seals, 05 double stars, and assists are not in his defensive range.

"A dumb Paul, even if he can pass the ball again, it's useless because he's not Nash!" This is a quote from a local TV announcer in New Orleans during the game, and he said it very correctly.

Nash can skip scoring because he's a completely free point guard, and that's the offensive system they play.

You don't need him to charge, but Paul is different, he needs to score, and he's always the first choice for the Hornets.

And now that this first choice has been snuffed out by Zhang Kong, relying on David West, it is not easy to win the game, if it weren't for the fact that Posey has been stealing points in the bench time, the Kings may have pulled away the score long ago.

"In the second half, Paul, I want you to be more proactive!" Byron Scott looked at Paul in front of him and said in a deep voice.

With the end of the fifteen-minute break in the midfield, the personnel of the two teams returned to the field again, staring at Paul next to him, Zhang Kong also felt his change from his body, Zhang Kong understood that this was what Paul meant to play seriously.

Sure enough, as soon as the second half began, Paul gave up the opportunity to make the ball for others and directly faced Zhang Kong.

It seems that he is ready to split a winner with Zhang Kong at the beginning of the second half! If you talk about offense, Zhang Kong can't do it, if you can't defend Paul, the strongest spear on the field, against the strongest shield, the two finally began to go head-to-head.

Paul looked at Zhang Kong in front of him, his shoulders kept shaking, these were all feints, and his eyes were even more fake.

Constantly using feints and slowly grinding his steps forward, Zhang Kong understood that Paul couldn't help it!

Looking at Zhang Kong in front of him, Paul suddenly accelerated to the right to cut to, Zhang Kong just retreated backwards, Paul played a moment of stillness, so that after the start, the action of stopping in an instant hurt the knee very much, if it was Maddie to do it, he might go directly to the rest, but Paul is not a big problem, at this time he has come to a place nine feet away from the basket, it is his hit area, Zhang Kong saw Paul stop, couldn't help but smile, he had already 'seen' Paul's movements.

One step ahead of Paul jumped up directly, looking at Zhang Kong's defense, Paul was also ready to shoot and had to send! Small and big shots, he has tried before, small people, when facing people who are taller than him, the best way to shoot is ......

"Lean back!" While raising the parabola, it also broke the opponent's heart to cover himself, this shot, Zhang Kong really didn't cover it, but it had completely interfered with Paul, and the basketball smashed straight into the front of the basket, and then fell out.

"This is just the beginning!" Paul looked at Zhang Kong and let out a sigh of relief, and Zhang Kong only smiled at this.

"Anyone can say cruel things!" Zhang Kong still looked arrogant, but this time, Paul didn't just say cruel words!

A minute later, Paul made a comeback, still facing Zhang Kong, his eyes flashing with revenge, but for Zhang Kong, Paul's revenge is also something he must carry down! The face is small, the task is big, he doesn't want to be obliterated!

Sudden stop, change direction, and then emergency stop, feint, half-turn, breakthrough skills, in Paul's body as if he didn't want money, wantonly thrown away, while Zhang Kong stared at Paul's movements, and his feet were definitely not slow, constantly adjusting his posture and pace to limit the all-star level master in front of him, and everyone pulled away, letting Paul and Zhang Kong go head-to-head.

The audience in the audience, watching this attack and defense, unconsciously held their breath, such a game is really thrilling, but just when all the spectators were looking at the immortals, suddenly Paul screamed and fell directly to the ground!

"Uh...... This ......" At this time, Zhang Kong in front of him was a little overwhelmed, and the Hornets immediately called a timeout.

The team doctor of the Hornets quickly ran to the court, looked at Paul in front of him, and finally stood up and made a substitution gesture to the sidelines, as for Zhang Kong in front of him, he was still there with a blank face, and he didn't know why.

"It doesn't matter, it's the recurrence of an old injury, this time, you're lucky!" Paul, who was helped up, also knew that those feints just now were too hurtful, a professional basketball player will have some old injuries on his body, it is difficult to be like Zhang Kong, there is no old injury on his body, and after that wild feint just now, Paul's ankle can't stand it......

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the satellite-level mission, 0 05 double stars, 10 survival points, and items and holy water!"

Watching Paul being helped out of the field, at the moment he appeared, a voice sounded in Zhang Kong's head.

"Looks like Paul won't be back for this game!" Zhang Kong looked at Paul's distant back, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

This time it wasn't his own foul, it was Paul himself who was unlucky, played too much, and the old injury recurred, which has nothing to do with him.

And for the rest of the day, he doesn't have a dedicated defender, all he needs to do is block, block, block.

In the third quarter, it became the time for Zhang Kong's defensive gate performance, and the little bee flew around!
