Chapter 43: Tremors

The timeout is back, and the Jazz's outside line has converged! The first ball went straight into the hands of Al Jefferson in the low post.

Jefferson took the ball and the Hornets decisively wrapped him, and he couldn't defend him without wrapping it. At this time, Kirilenko took advantage of the situation to come up and cut into the air, and Horn hurriedly came out to block Kirilenko's way, and Kirilenko instantly transferred the ball to Millsap.

Millsap drilled in from the weak side and immediately scored two points, and the score became 74-68, and the Jazz pulled away slightly.

The Jazz are playing more rigorously at this time, and if they continue to play like this, the Hornets will at least have no advantage.

At this time, Horn paid attention to Kirilenko, and when he ran to the Jazz half, he leaned into Paul's ear and said: "Give me the ball, I'll get Kirilenko down, and the Jazz's defense will immediately be lowered a notch!" ”

Paul glanced up at Horn and smiled evilly, he nodded, agreeing to Horn's plot.

The Hornets went on offense and looked no different than before, with Paul and West blocking and Horn waiting for an opportunity to cut or shoot straight out.

Kirilenko chased Horn defensively, from left to right, from right to left, and when Horn was running, Ariza came up and blocked Horn crucially, so that Horn turned and wiped directly into the Jazz penalty area.

Paul was waiting for such an opportunity, the basketball came directly, Horn took the ball and stepped to the basket, at this time Horn saw Kirilenko catching up, he raised his hand and made a feint, Kirilenko jumped.

Horn sticks a stick on Kirilenko, foul! Horn drew another foul on Kirilenko.

This time, Jazz is in trouble! Kirilenko is the Jazz's No. 1 assistant defender, and his role is similar to that of Horn, which is to constantly help his teammates defend, to occupy positions so that the opponent cannot easily break through, and to rotate out to defend quickly.

Kirilenko sucks on offense! But the reason why Sloane Sr. keeps using him is because Kirilenko is too important on the defensive end. The level of defense with him and without him is definitely different.

Now Kirilenko has too many fouls, and the old Sloan has no choice but to replace Kirilenko and stand at the free throw line. Horn smiled, and said in his heart, let you yin Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will yin you first.

The Jazz replaced Kirillenko with Raga Bell, and the most famous thing Bell did in his career was to lock Kobe Bryant in the Suns, and his entire career is perfectly fine with sappers and three-pointers.

Bale is a good lone defender, but he's a level behind Kirilenko in terms of help defense, and he's a lot shorter than Kirilenko, which is a flaw. After Bale came up, the Hornets took advantage of the front.

Without Kirilenko on top to delay Horn, Horn could use his height to throw Bell at will, who was much shorter than Horn.

Replacing Millsap doesn't work well either, Millsap's defensive level is average, and he's also short!

Jefferson was even more unable to defend Horn, who pulled out the frame, and Jefferson's footsteps could only move around the penalty area.

Once Kirilenko went down, the Jazz's defense collapsed like dominoes.

Horn can shoot casually, West also gets space in the low post, Paul also gets a huge bonus after Kirilenko goes off the court, and no one can help him in time, Paul can keep breaking through to the basket to cause damage.

Under Paul's consecutive kills, Jefferson also reached the number of fouls, so that the two major forward lines of the Jazz went down.

The situation has turned dramatically, and the Jazz are in a very disadvantageous position for the next time. At this time, the morale of the Hornets was high, and the whole team opened up in the shouts of the New Orleans fans, and a wave opened up the point difference, and then in the fourth quarter, Kirilenko and Jefferson came back, and the Hornets were staring at these two people to play, and the other party was not moving.

The Hornets relied on the opportunity of Horn to beat Kirilenko down, and turned the tables and defeated the Jazz in one go.

After the game, Mav Albert still couldn't believe it and said: "The Hornets won this game, there are really a lot of unexpected factors. Horn caused Kirilenko's fouls in the third quarter, which was too fortuitous! ”

Reggie Miller also said at this time: "It is true that Kirilenko made too many unnecessary mistakes! The Jazz gave the game to the Hornets! ”

Both of them were a little skeptical about the Hornets winning, and the Jazz were also indignant.

Old Sloan admits defeat when he loses, but Kirilenko, who caused the team to lose, is unrelenting, after the game, Kirilenko actually said to the media: "Although the Hornets won today, I don't think they won openly, Horne played very dirty, he deceived the referee, and he deceived the fans." Horn is a liar who wins by cheating! A complete liar, such a player will never have a good performance for a long time, and Horn will definitely lose in future games. ”

Kirilenko himself did not succeed in Yin Horn, but accused Horn of being a liar, if Kirilenko didn't have those foul moves, Horn would not have been able to deceive him!

So Horn was not at all dismissive of Kirilenko, when the media relayed Kirilenko's words to him. Horn said confidently: "Compared to Kirilenko, I play clean like a baby. As for Kirilenko's assertions against me, I dare to assure you that his assertions are wrong. I will make Kirilenko look at me with an upward posture, and I will make all the critics and players who assert that I am inferior to Antony regret what they said! ”

Horn and Kirilenko had nothing to do, but at this time Horn brought up Anthony's matter again.

It immediately disgusted many people in the league, because although Horn is currently performing really well, he is only a good way to be a role player. Being able to cut, shooting, and defending, these things are still dirty work on the court, and they are far less dazzling and important than individual ball-holding offense.

Horn is now mentioning Anthony again, which has made many fans who are superstitious about superstars dissatisfied, and many people think Horn is arrogant.

At the same time, Kirilenko on the Jazz's side was also very unhappy, and Horn said that he would look up to him in the future! It feels as if he is much more advanced than himself, Kirilenko is very unhappy, although he is not popular in the team, but in the end he is a teammate! Good old guys like Al Jefferson immediately stood in solidarity with Kirilenko: "The Hornets won us!" But isn't it too arrogant for Horn to say that he wants Kirilenko to look up to him and chase after Anthony? His role in the team is similar to that of Kirilenko! ”

Jefferson also mocked Horn as a role player, and Horn responded directly to them on Twitter.

"We'll see, I'll make you all tremble!"
