196 I'm going to be even better
The game reached the middle of the fourth quarter, and the scores of the two teams gradually began to stalemate, and the 101:103 Clippers only led the Nets by 2 points at this time.
At this point, the game is not a Christmas war at all, and winning is much more important than playing beautifully.
On the Nets' side, Horn was also surrounded by Griffin at this time, and Horn couldn't get the ball easily.
In the absence of the ball, Horn could only cut inside, Williams was a thief of a ground pass, passed the ball in front of Horn, Horn took the ball in the box and shook Griffin, and then immediately dribbled to the right side and made a small jumper that wiped the board.
"Brush!"
Horn finally scored with a wipe board, 103-103, and the two teams were tied.
At this time, the Clippers hit again, Paul began to hold the ball, and after attacking for a while, he began to pass the ball again, suddenly broke into the restricted area and then immediately passed the ball to Butler on the outside, and then he himself cut out of the bottom line all of a sudden, at this time Butler passed the ball to Paul again, Paul took the ball and leaned on Williams to make a step back action, and suddenly jumped up to shoot, at this time the Nets thought that Paul was going to shoot, but at this time Paul suddenly made a fake shot and really wore it, The basketball was suddenly stuffed into the hands of little Jordan under the basket.
Little Jordan will not attack anything other than a dunk, take the ball and dunk it!
The Clippers also scored, and the scores of the two teams were still bitten together.
At this time for the Nets, Williams still passed the ball to Horn, who turned on his personal offensive mode at this time, and immediately put on a three-threat posture at the first moment of getting the ball. The body shook. Then immediately from the right side of the slam step directly through the Griffin.
Griffin has great strength and bounce. But speed is not his forte, especially explosive speed.
Horn passed him in one step, and after passing Griffin, Horn flew up and fought back in the air, hooking his left hand.
"Brush!"
Horn's offense was successful again, Horn scored on two consecutive offenses, and he himself felt his confidence slowly returning.
Horn's individual offense here is smooth, and Paul's side has gradually entered the state of core guard.
He dribbled the ball to half-time. First, he gave the ball to Jordan Jr. to respond outside, and then used his teammate's cover to go to the wing to catch the ball.
Paul gives the ball to someone else first, and when he gets it back, the role is to put himself in a better position.
If you want a better position, running without the ball is much better than walking over with the ball, Paul took the ball at this time and faced Williams with a shooting feint, which attracted Williams' attention, and Paul suddenly drilled into the Nets' penalty area with a European step, in the Nets' penalty area. Paul shook it to the left and to the right. When everyone thought Paul was going to go to the basket from the right, he suddenly made a pass from the left to Griffin's hand on the baseline, and Griffin took the ball and stepped up to dunk.
"Bang dang!"
The Clippers' scoring continued, and at this time the little general finally couldn't help it, he jumped up and asked Stevenson to defend Paul, and roared on the sidelines for Stevenson to block Paul by all means.
The little general is going to play defense desperately, and Williams's defense is indeed not aggressive enough, and the containment of Paul is not very sufficient.
Williams still passed the ball to Horn, Horn was more and more confident in taking the ball at this time, facing Griffin, Horn still mainly came to break through, and suddenly a change of direction broke through, and when he reached the Clippers' restricted area, Horn raised his hand, Griffin flew all of a sudden, Griffin likes to fly too much.
Horn shook off Griffin and scored 2 points on an easy low-handed layup underneath.
The Clippers only continued to attack the team, and Horn played alone at the critical moment, and he played very confidently and confidently.
At this time, Paul played again, and it was really uncomfortable, and Stevenson was a professional defensive player. His defense was much more pressing than Williams's, and Paul was extremely comfortable defending by Stevenson, but even so, when Paul was chased by Stevenson, he still found an opportunity for a teammate.
When he was running on the wing, Paul suddenly spotted Jordan Jr. who cut in the middle, and he passed the ball behind his head to Jordan Jr. and dunked directly to attack the basket, at which point Lopez pounced to defend the foul.
Jordan Jr. went to the free throw line, and at this time Reggie Miller said: "It's still a very profitable thing to make Jordan Jr. free throws, and Jordan Jr.'s free throw shooting rate is very pitiful!" ”
Reggie Miller just finished saying that, and Jordan Jr. immediately hit two free throws in a row, and this time Miller was slapped in the face.
Kerr watched Jordan Jr. hit both free throws, and he didn't forget to stimulate Miller: "Little Jordan's free throws are not bad!" ”
Reggie Miller didn't speak on the side, and the Nets played the basketball and passed it to Horn.
Although the Clippers also arranged to prevent Horn from taking the ball at this time, the Clippers' defense was not good, and it was not difficult for Horn to get the ball.
After getting the basketball, Horn faced Griffin again, Griffin began to be very nervous, he had been beaten by Horn several times, and at this time he came over to defend very tightly.
Horn saw Griffin's state, and his self-confidence came even more, and he just shook the ball and suddenly shot a long shot over Griffin's head.
Griffin didn't even react, and Horn took action.
Horn immediately sensed something was wrong as soon as he made his move, and rushed to the Nets' basket like the wind.
Sure enough, Horn's own ball didn't hit, and it didn't matter if he didn't shoot, Horn clicked the basketball a little outward, and Horn took the ball and sent it outside.
The Clippers thought that Horn had passed the ball again, and when everyone ran outside, Horn turned around and scored 2 points with an easy hook.
At this time, the head coach of the Clippers was a little depressed, and today Griffin was beaten stupidly by Horn!
Griffin was originally a very passionate player, but today defending Horn was played in various ways, and the Clippers sensed that this was not good. The Clippers head coach immediately warmed up Martin, and they were ready to put Martin on to defend Horn.
At the time when the Clippers were preparing to go on Martin. Paul's side finally got into trouble. He was pushed to death by Stevenson. At the same time, Horn, who knew Paul very well, seized the opportunity to go out to pack the bag.
Paul passed a long-range ball and Wallace flew over to force the ball over Nick Young's head.
The Nets grabbed the steal all of a sudden, and immediately rushed towards the Clippers' halfcourt.
Horn quickly went down the baseline, and the Wallace ball immediately flew into Horn's hand, Horn took the ball and made it look like he was going to attack, but suddenly threw the ball to the ground, and Williams, who cut up from behind, took the ball and threw it.
The Nets took the lead over the Clippers for the first time in the fourth quarter. 109;107, the Nets took the lead, and at the same time the game was running out, only a little more than 3 minutes before the game was over.
The Clippers couldn't wait for a foul at this point, and they immediately called a timeout, called a timeout, and switched to Martin.
The Clippers must be better off defending with Martin, and Jordan Jr.'s defense is indeed easy to leak.
After the timeout, the Clippers obviously designed a low-post strategy for Griffin, and through fast running, Griffin got the basketball under the basket.
Griffin immediately turned around and forced an attack on Horn as soon as he got the ball, thinking he could hit Horn. But Horn directly turned on the all-around state the moment Griffin received the ball, and his power suddenly increased to a new level.
This level is still not comparable to Griffin. But Griffin has adapted to Horn's defensive strength before, and now Horn has suddenly increased his defensive strength, he is uncomfortable, and almost dropped the ball when he took the ball and turned around, at this time Griffin turned back and shot, and his hand was completely gone.
Horn turned around and picked up the basketball and rushed up quickly, Horn dribbled to the high post himself, and the Nets still played this empty cut tactic at the critical moment.
The Clippers players just watched another game stupidly, and they also knew what was going on with the Nets' offense, and they watched the players without the ball to death one by one.
At this time, Horn took the ball and saw that his teammates had no chance, so he immediately took a step forward and pulled it up to a mid-range.
Martin's defense was much more aggressive than Griffin's, and Martin immediately pounced ferociously and hit Horn's wrist at once, at which time the referee's whistle blew and Horn's mid-range shot was also made.
"Smack!" "Brush!"
In the case of Martin's hitter, Horn still shot, and the momentum on the Nets' side suddenly exploded.
The Nets players all rose to cheer, and Horn himself waved his arms excitedly.
On the free throw line, Horn hit a free throw shot and suddenly hit 2+1, 112:107, and the Nets led by 5 points, which is a matter of two balls.
Paul really couldn't help it at this time, he didn't pass the ball this time, but changed direction left and right, used the block to suddenly pull sideways, and then made a trademark small mid-range shot that drifted in the breakaway.
"Bang bang!"
When Paul shot, there was Stevenson below and Horn above, and his small mid-range shot after the change of direction was already difficult, and now there are still people who defend and naturally miss.
Although Paul's shot missed, Griffin actually grabbed the rebound in the front court under the basket, Griffin grabbed the rebound and feinted under the basket, and got up to attack the basket, but he didn't see Wallace under the basket.
Wallace cut the ball off with a ferocious slice, and the basketball returned to the arms of the Nets.
The Nets pushed the ball forward at this time, Martin was desperate, and Horn really couldn't get the ball in the high post.
In the situation that he couldn't get the ball in the high post, Horn could only think about the baseline and cut empty, and in the position of the baseline Horn finally got the basketball.
The moment Horn got the basketball, Martin immediately defended, at this time Horn's body suddenly rushed forward, but his hand dribbled forward a small step, just a small step, so that Horn immediately gained a little bit of space, with this little space, Horn made a quick shot and another wipe shot.
"Bang!"
Horn's brush-off shot hit solidly, and Martin, although better defended than Griffin, was still much slower than Horn.
At 114:107, the difference suddenly widened to 7 points, and now there is just over 1 minute left.
Time is really running out for the Clippers, and Paul is anxious at this time, losing this game has a different meaning. It was his reunion with Horn. Lost to his little brother. He more or less felt faceless.
Paul was in possession of the ball at this time, and finally didn't use his signature drifting small mid-range shot.
Instead, he made a pick-and-roll from Griffin at the three-point line, and then took a step to the side and suddenly made a three-pointer.
"Brush!"
After the Clippers were depressed for a long, long time, they finally came to a three-pointer, and this time the Clippers finally showed a trace of anger.
The Clippers showed a hint of anger on their side, the Nets stopped doing it, and Horn ran over quickly, but he still couldn't get the ball in the high post. With no ball, Horn could only cut towards the baseline again.
Horn ran over quickly, Martin was just too slow to lose, Horn got the ball, and Horn, who got the ball, faced Martin who was catching up with him with a slight probing step, and then quickly pulled up a mid-distance.
"Brush!"
Horn has a hit.
In the middle distance of Drown's first hit, Paul was the first to close his eyes, and he knew it was over. This brother of his own started to convout again, Horn is a big man of seven feet, and it is really difficult for him to defend once he convulses. And he can still break through, which is the most important thing. A big man who can only shoot is good to defend, but once he can break through, it's frustrating.
The little general was excited at this time, Horn was indeed too timely to fire at this critical moment, and the team needed such Horn.
Reggie Miller also said on the side: "Horn has made several shots in a row, and it's not difficult to shoot one, but it's hard to shoot in a row, and it's all offensive with the ball, or against different defenders, it's too difficult." Horn's speed and style of play are simply a pervert! ”
"He does have the strength of a superstar!"
Cole also thinks Horn has the strength of a superstar at this time.
Horn also understands at this time that his opportunity has come, and he must not be soft when he feels it, and he must not have a trace of mercy.
The Clippers came over at this time, Paul took the ball, the Nets immediately went up to the bag, and Paul could only pass the ball to Nick Young on the wing.
Nick Young had an open spot at this time, and he took the ball and threw out a three-pointer.
"Brush!"
Nick Young's three-pointer actually hit, and the Clippers chased 6 points in a row, 116:113, and the difference was only 3 points.
But time is running out at this time, and the Nets have the ball on their side, and the Nets are starting to control the rhythm when they are ahead.
Williams came over this round, controlled the time on the outside, and saw that the clock was about to reach 24 seconds, and he suddenly passed the ball.
The Clippers saw Williams pass the ball to defend Horn, but Williams passed the ball to Lopez.
Lopez took the ball on the flank to cover it, Horn actually ran without the ball, and he needed that Lopez to run behind him, take the ball and dribble in a small step and suddenly shoot a long shot.
"Brush!"
At such a critical moment, Horn's lethal shot was still being shot.
118:113, the Clippers had 1 minute left at this time, but they were still trailing by 5 points, they immediately called a timeout and changed to a small lineup, and the Clippers were going to fight hard.
At this time, the Clippers must score quickly, Paul controlled the ball and broke through two steps to turn around and pass to Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo actually passed the ball and passed it to Nick Young, Nick Young took the ball and shook it, and Wallace was in a position, at this time he had a chance to shoot, but Nick Young actually didn't shoot and dribbled towards the basket of the Nets and killed it.
Nick Young is not a good breakaway, he only broke through on his side, it was the last minute of the Christmas game, there were a hundred hands in the penalty area, and he just came in and Horn cut his way with a cut.
Cutting the basketball, Horn immediately protected it and passed it to Williams.
The head coach of the Clippers had the urge to go down and beat Nick Young at this time, and Nick Young played a good game today, but in the end, the ball was handled to the extreme.
The Nets pushed up, but Williams still controlled the rhythm and controlled the rhythm to death.
Seeing that the time of 24 seconds was up, he suddenly passed the ball to Horn, who ran out with his teammates covering.
Horn took the ball on the three-point line, Martin immediately defended it, and in the face of Martin Horn spying on one step, raised his hand for a shooting feint, another step, another shot feint, after two consecutive feints, Martin's defense showed a trace of inertia, and Horn immediately raised his hand and threw out a three-point shot.
"Brush!"
Horn's three-pointer was shot right in Martin's face, and Horn shot Martin in the face.
At this moment, all the players of the Nets are not calm, and Horn is too domineering to shoot in other people's faces.
It's so unreasonable, and Horn has scored too many points in a row. At this time, Horn's combat power and feel are hot.
121:113, an 8-point difference, at this time the Clippers came over to grab a three-pointer, and Nick Young made a three-pointer against several defenders.
Nick Young's shooting was very accurate before, but shooting from several people is not something that a player like him can do.
Nick Young's three-pointer missed, and the Nets immediately played a fast break, and Will Williams pushed the ball forward and passed it back to Wallace, who received the ball and immediately passed it back to Horn.
Horn caught up from behind, shook Martin off with the ball, and then threw the ball in the face of Griffin with one hand towards the basket.
"Brush!"
Horn also hit the throw in the fast break, this time the Nets won, the Clippers did not resist, and when the time came, the Nets beat the Clippers by a big score.
As soon as the game ended, Paul came over and punched Horn: "You guy, didn't you give your best when you were in the Hornets!" Why are you so powerful today, you weren't so strong before! “
Horn touched Paul's head and said, "I'm going to improve!" What is this, I will be even more powerful in the future! (To be continued......)
