Chapter Seventy-Seven: Wind and Fire
Horn just seized the opportunity of Nowitzki's momentary exhaustion and hit three three-pointers in a row to cause a huge bloodbath.
The team's performance is fire, the fans at home are the wind, and now the fire is up, the wind is coming, and the two complement each other.
The New Orleans arena is shaking, the Hornets players are going berserk, and the Hornets going berserk are terrible.
Ariza, Belinelli, Horn, Paul, and West each defended as if they were dead.
Although the Mavericks also want to win, they definitely don't think as much as the Hornets, the Hornets win the Mavericks are sixth, and the Mavericks win and they are still like that. The dynamics of the two are not the same at all.
In this way, at the critical moment, the will of the Hornets is as hard as steel, but the Mavericks are a little hesitant, and in this case, the Mavericks did not shoot in this crucial round.
Terry missed the shot, and the New Orleans arena immediately remembered a flurry of cheers.
In the midst of the loud cheers, Paul came over to face Kidd with the ball, and his eyes released the intention of cannibalism.
At this point, Paul was going to eat Kidd, he was going to beat him. Kidd immediately realized this, and he sank down to defend Paul.
The duel between the old and new top defenders broke out at this moment, and Paul suddenly broke through to the left at this time, and Paul's speed was very fast in this step, and Kidd's legs almost couldn't keep up.
One step Paul shook out the advantage, and then Paul controlled the ball and paused a little rhythm, this pause is very essence, this moment Kidd did not dare to stick up, afraid that Paul would dribble past him, and he did not dare to relax for fear that Paul would shoot after receiving the ball.
At the moment when Kidd's feet were stiff, Paul controlled the ball with another left hand, slammed into Kidd's body, and at the same time blocked Kidd with his hand below, jumped back with his front foot, and stepped back to shoot.
Kidd couldn't save at all when he was hit by Paul, but at this moment Paul made a resolute move.
"Brush!"
The basketball hit crisply, Paul hit the tie for 2 points, and the New Orleans court cheered the whole audience.
The flames of the wasp were already raging, and the entire arena was boiling, and Horn was boiling with it.
When the Mavericks came over again, Horn desperately grabbed the front of Nowitzki, not allowing Nowitzki to have an easy chance to catch the ball, Horn desperately entangled Nowitzki, Terry only had to handle the ball himself, he faced Ariza two consecutive turns, suddenly turned back and shot.
Ariza was also completely enthusiastic at this time, and he went up and blocked Terry's ball all at once.
Ariza's body can't find rhythm when he attacks on his own, but once he gets on the defensive end, he shows his physical toughness.
"Smack!"
Ariza actually blocked it, and this time the Wasps were full of passion. Ariza picked up the basketball and passed the ball back to Paul, who drove the ball in the middle, and the elder Kidd couldn't keep up with his speed at this time, and Marion could only fly over to defend it, so that Horn ran along the sideline and no one noticed.
Paul made a pass to Horn on the sideline, and Horn's heart was hot, and he didn't hesitate to take the ball and it was a three-pointer.
"Brush!"
The wasp completely overtook it, and this time the yellow powder entered the **, and the calf entered the verge of collapse.
Carlisle hurriedly called a timeout at this time, and if he didn't hand in the timeout at this time, it would definitely be over.
At the end of the timeout, the Mavericks designed a clever catch-and-shoot strategy for Nowitzki, and through continuous blocking, Nowitzki ran two steps in the half court and really received the basketball.
Nowitzki received the basketball here, and the Hornets were already going crazy at this point, and two people simply came over to wrap Nowitzki.
In the past, Nowitzki would have passed the ball, but this is no longer the time when passing can solve problems. At the most critical moment, a star has to step up and get points, and it's not a matter of reasonableness or not, it's a matter of attitude and will.
Nowitzki didn't pass the ball in the face of the Hornets at this time, took the ball and dribbled to his side, striding back.
Opened up half a step of space, Nowitzki jumped directly and shot quickly, "Brush and pull!" Nowitzki actually shot two players from the Hornets.
As soon as he hit the ball, Nowitzki raised his fist and roared to boost the morale of the team.
Nowitzki is really good, both of them can't defend, at this time Bill Wharton also said: "Nowitzki's ball is too difficult, and his ability to shoot shows that Nowitzki is very strong at the level of will!" ”
"Nowitzki can shoot this ball, which means that the Mavericks still have a chance!"
Just when Albert thought the Mavericks still had a chance, the Hornets pushed in like the wind.
Paul took the ball and broke through Kidd directly, Kidd's side couldn't block it, the Mavericks could only continue to rotate, at a moment, Horn ran out quickly, and at the top of the arc, Horn caught the ball and saw Marion catching up, he played a careful thought, jumped forward with the ball and threw a three-point shot.
Marion pounced very hard, he couldn't hold it back at all, and suddenly hit Horn's body, "Didi!" The referee's whistle blew, and Horn threw the basketball on the rebound and hit it.
"Brush!"
“3+1!”
Nowitzki had just picked two, and Horn responded with 3+1, and the Orleans Arena went crazy.
Albert also went crazy: "What is Horn doing here?" He was able to shoot all of this, he covered up Nowitzki's starlight! This guy has become a god-killing character! ”
Bill Wharton is also straight-eyed at this time, he is a super center himself, but he has never seen an interior player like Horn.
The Hornets players ran towards Horn excitedly when Horne hit the 3-pointer.
And the Mavericks' players saw that Horn could shoot this, and immediately felt a deep despair.
Carlisle saw that Horn shot like this, and he was also helpless for a while, such a game was the most painful, it was clear that he had done well enough, but the opponent was not doing well but was simply magical.
Ball was happy at this time, Horn was the player he found to be reused, and he felt a special sense of accomplishment when he saw Horn's performance.
The Yun family sisters, who were sitting on the sidelines, jumped up together like little swallows when they saw Horn shoot the ball.
The two sisters high-fived and cheered together, and after cheering, Yun Zhu seemed to remember something and said to Yun Tang: "Hey! Tang Tang, don't you hate Horn, what are you so happy about! ”
"I, I, of course I hate Horn, I just think it's good!"
Yun Tang was still quibbling, but Yun Zhu smiled coquettishly on the side.
Horn hit the Mavericks' last breath with a 3+1 and hit a free throw at the free throw line.
The Mavericks came back and had no spirit, but the Hornets were suddenly raging like wildfire, and in the last 1 minute or so, the Hornets never let the Mavericks catch up with the score, and the game ended with the Hornets narrowly beating the Mavericks.
