Chapter 400

The Hornets fans in the stadium were also in a hurry, even though it wasn't the last moment of the game.

But seeing their leaders defeated by Lin Sen in a row undoubtedly made it difficult for them to accept.

Morris on the side. Peterson saw that Paul had lost his defensive restrictions on Linson, and immediately chose to abandon Artest, who was defending himself, and did his best to make up for it.

Morris. Peterson is not far from Linson, who was originally ready to solve the problem with a pull-up jump shot after Paul.

At the same time as he caught a glimpse of Peterson coming over to make up for the defense, Linson saw Artest in the vacant position, and directly pushed the ball with his right hand, and the ball almost grazed Peterson's jersey and flew to Artest outside the three-point line.

"Wood chose the pass, Ron's chance, Morris's defense was right but unfortunately there was no one to make up for him, the Hornets rotation in New Orleans was really bad, could Ron add an assist to Wood's play?" Hoffman said as he looked at Artest, who was receiving the ball.

Artest received the ball steadily, defending his Morris. Pieterson hurriedly turned around too late, and with no one to defend himself, he took aim for the basket and shot the ball with ease.

“bang！ Ron, three-point shot, this time it wasn't Wood's goal but it was also an assist from Wood, 55:48 Orlando was completely reversed during this period, they took a 7-point lead on the Hornets' turf, like you said, is Byron ready to take the timeout away for a supper? "Bill. Wharton had just finished speaking when he saw Jarvey's gesture and his words shifted, "Oh, thank goodness, Byron. Scott finally called a timeout. ”

"Wood has really blown Chris out of the game. Just now, Wood actually had every chance to make a move on his own. And his hand felt hot during this time. But he still opted to pass the ball to Ron, who was in a better position.

It may seem like a simple pass, but in the simplicity we can see Wood's sanity, he didn't blindly play alone because of his hot hand, even if I don't doubt that he can still score.

And Chris and Wood are the opposite, to be honest, Chris is closer to a traditional point guard than Wood, even if he has a strong scoring ability, and Wood's assists look outstanding, such as last season when Wood was a rookie and averaged 10.5 assists per game. But the fact that all coaches know that Wood is much worse than Chris when it comes to playmaking offense, and that's not something that can be shown. ”

Bill. Wharton nodded: "That's true, Wood's assists are also a lot, but compared with Chris, he is indeed a little worse in organizing the team's offense, even if Wood's organizational ability has improved a lot this season, but we still care more about his offense, and this is the impression he gives me."

Wood is not a traditional point guard, offense is his strength is the key factor he helps the team win, and the key to Chris's help the team win is more his organization, and it is his job to revitalize his teammates, even if he can now give up 20 points per game. But it's still not the main factor.

Chris had apparently forgotten what he was supposed to do in those few minutes, and had a few good chances for his teammates to attack him just a few times. But he didn't see it, and I understand Chris's idea of doing that, but I'd rather he found his role when he came back from the timeout, and now that we're 1:44 seconds left before the end of the first half, hopefully Chris won't disappoint the New Orleans fans. ”

"Oh, the timeout is over, the players on both sides are back on the field, neither side has made personnel adjustments, I don't know if this timeout Byron has played a role." Hoffman looked at Byron. Scott said.

"It's still Chris who catches the ball, how will Chris choose to attack by himself or organize the team to attack and find good offensive opportunities this time?" Bill. Wharton said as he looked at Paul, who had the ball past half court.

Lin Sen still pressed up, but Paul didn't entangle with him at all, but directly called for cover.

David on the inside. West suddenly went up to the high post and Artest defended Peja. Stojakovic wasn't fast, but he crossed the line under West's cover.

"Bottom corner, bottom left corner!" Bypass Tyson. Chandler's Linson, who was chasing Paul, pointed to the bottom corner and shouted, but before Linsen's words could fall, Peja, who came from the bottom line on the right side of the basket, went straight to the left corner.

The ball in Paul's hand flew as soon as it came, and Milicic, who was closest to the bottom left corner, pounced, but Peja jumped up and made a move.

By the time Milicic's palm was in front of him, the ball had already left Peja's fingers and flew into the air.

"This time Chris chose to pass, Pejadi corner three-pointer, is there any?" Hoffman stared closely at the ball flying into the air, as the ball got closer and closer to the basket, Hoffman grew his mouth, "Three-point shot, Peja, super shooter Peja three-point shot, this ball belongs to Chris's pass, a precise ground-hitting pass, Peja's ball is too comfortable, this is the way Chris should choose." ”

"Yes, although the credit this time should be more due to the team's tactical coordination, from David to Tyson covering separately to Peja running to Chris passing, but Chris's transformation is the most important thing, in fact, he just had a good chance to shoot." Bill. Wharton said with a smile.

Paul's pass kicked off his stabilization, and back on the defensive end, Howard's hook missed Chandler took the rebound and immediately handed the ball to Paul.

Back on the offensive end, Paul hoisted the ball straight to David on the inside. West, David. West directly singled Milicic to score, and the Hornets scored two consecutive attacks to chase the trailing point difference to only two points.

The Magic, who returned to the offensive end, were assisted by Billups, Milicic hit a hook shot, and the Hornets also scored for the third consecutive attack after the timeout, and this time the goal was not a direct assist from Paul, but it was instigated by him, and finally by Tyson. Chandler dunks with both hands.

"The Hornets came back from a timeout and completely got back in the groove, and it looked like Chris's count was just one more assist than before, but it was very noticeable, and with 20 seconds left in the first half, whether Orlando scored or not, I was looking forward to the second half." Hoffman said with a smile.

Lin Sen took Milicic's serve and controlled the ball unhurriedly. Almost pressed eight seconds into the front court.

"It looks like Wood wants to attack on his own. Pressing time. Who will defend Wood this time, Chris or Morris? It looks like it should be Morris. "Bill. Wharton looked at Morris. Peterson, "New Orleans have had an excellent season, and in addition to Peja's return from injury and Chris's hot form, Morris, who joined on a mid-level contract, has provided New Orleans with much-needed defense. ”

"Yes, his defense is one of the main reasons why New Orleans have a great record this season." Hoffman continued.

Peterson didn't dare to press too tightly, after all, Lin Sen was too far away from the three-point line, as long as he missed the slightest position, he would give Lin Sen enough space to shoot.

The light and breezy expression on Lin Sen's face fell on Morris. In Peterson's eyes, there was not much direct confrontation between him and Linsen at the half-time game. But as a defense-oriented player, he studied Linson a lot, especially when Paul was defending, and he didn't give up observation.

Don't let Lin Sen get up, don't let Lin Sen break through, and don't give Lin Sen space to shoot, these three points are the most important, but he knows that it is not easy to do these three points.

The ball slammed back and forth in front of Linson, and leaning forward while bowing his body made it not easy for Peterson to defend.

He could only passively wait for Lin Sen to take the initiative, but once Lin Sen was in the active position, it would be much more difficult for him to defend.

When the clock entered six seconds, Lin Sen still had no intention of attacking, but the rest of the Magic had completely pulled away to contain the defense as much as possible for Lin Sen's offense.

"Wood has no plans to attack. It doesn't look like he's going to give the Hornets even a second to make a move. "Bill. Wharton said with a smile.

Linson pushed a little bit under such a dribble, Morris. Peterson had to back off a little.

Watching retreat to the three-point line. Peterson didn't plan to retreat, and there were only three seconds left for the Magic at this time, and Peterson's defensive confidence was suddenly full.

Yikes!

The second generation of Legend and the floor made a violent friction, and the right hand slapped the ball violently, the ball passed through the crotch to the left hand, Lin Sen's right leg stepped out violently, and at the same time the body leaned to the left side.

Boom!

Pietersen didn't back down, and he collided with the left side of Linson's body.

Syllable!

With his left hand, he slapped the ball to the ground from the narrow gap in front of the two of them, and his right foot retreated directly.

Picking up the ball steadily, his left leg was also retracted, and there was immediately an empty space of almost fifty centimeters between Lin Sen and Peterson.

With both legs exerting force, he quickly touched the ground and faced Morris who was struggling to jump. Pete Forest Sen rose from the ground in an instant.

The body leans back slightly, and the right leg is naturally cocked.

Watching Pete Forestson pounce, he flicked the ball out, and when the ball flew to the top, the whistle blew at the end of the half, and the rebound turned red.

The basket burrowed into the basket amid boos from New Orleans fans, and Morris. Peterson looked depressed.

"Three-pointers at the buzzer, Wood's shooting ability is so strong, oh haha, what a celebratory gesture he made, the three-point gesture with both hands became his glasses." Hoffman looked at Linson, who made a three-point gesture with his hands on his left and right eyes.

"At 60:55, Orlando, who was playing away at halftime, led by 5 points, while Wood alone scored 19 points, as well as 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, Chris's number was slightly worse but also had 11 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, and the second half will definitely be more exciting." Bill. Wharton said, looking at the number jù statistic.

As noted by Bill. The second half of the game that Walton said was exciting, both Linson and Paul played their own characteristics, Linson was an individual offense and organized the team to play freely, while Paul played his own special play.

Under the play of Linson and Paul, the two teams played inextricably and tied 28:28 in the third quarter.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Peja and David. West took the second team to bite the Magic's second team offense, especially Peja, who was like returning to the super Peja of the Sacramento Kings era.

Both starting line-ups were back with five minutes to go, but neither could open the gap.

With three minutes left in the game, the Magic on the road had a three-pointer advantage over the Hornets.

Peterson looked at Lin Sen in front of him with a stern face, his defense in this game was very hard, but he still couldn't completely contain Lin Sen's attack.

"Actually, Morris defended well tonight most of the time, but Wood still hit those balls, which is something that can't be helped, and we can't assume that Morris defended badly tonight just because Wood scored." Hoffman said, looking at Peterson.

"Yes, Morris did a good job defending tonight, let's see if he can defend Wood this time, and tonight Wood scored more than 30 points, which is already more than his season average." Bill. Wharton said as he looked at Linson, who had received a pass from Billups.

Lin Sen, who received the ball, did not rush to attack, but put a three-threat move between his waist and abdomen with the ball in both hands, and then looked at Peterson, and he was deadlocked for almost three seconds, and Lin Sen raised the ball with both hands.

Peterson, who had been cautious, couldn't help but plush his feet, and although he controlled it well, his subconscious still gave Lin Sen a chance.

"Maurice was tricked by Wood, and this is Wood's chance!" Bill. Wharton shouted.

And Morris, who padded his feet. Peterson landed for the first time, but he could only watch as Lin Sen slapped the ball heavily and quickly rushed in from his side.

Paul, who had been eyeing the defense at any time and was ready to make up for it at any time, saw Lin Sen pass Peterson so easily, and immediately signaled Peterson to change defenses, and then rushed directly to Lin Sen.

In this brotherhood with Lin Sen, he was only at an absolute disadvantage in the last period of the first half, although his 19 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals lost to Lin Sen's 31 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds and 4 steals, but in fact, he did not lose much to Lin Sen except for that time, and the difference between the two sides is the best proof.

In the face of Paul's supplemental defense, Lin Sen did not panic, a sudden change of direction and a fierce stop, Paul who came up on the defense was completely brought into rhythm by Lin Sen, seeing Paul's reaction, Lin Sen accelerated again, and Paul who came up on the defense was left behind by him.

"Wood shook off Chris's reinforcement and went straight to the inside!" Hoffman shouted.

Inside line X-Cop David. West watched Lin Sen rush in and immediately pounced, but Lin Sen didn't have to be greedy and pushed the ball directly with both hands.

Bang!

The basket let out a wail, and Milicic was seen swinging with both hands on top of the basket. (To be continued......)
