Chapter 1007 - Want Revenge?
"Dear fans, fans in front of the TV, fans in the bar, all the fans watching the game, good evening, I'm your good friend, well, probably the bastard you all hate, I'm Barkley, the big-mouthed Barkley, and it's a pity that I'm hosting today's game with Kenny and Mark, two guys who don't know how to play." Barkley said triumphantly in the live broadcast room.
Smith shrugged helplessly and said, "Charles, you know that you are a nasty big mouth, but you don't know that Mark and I are welcome......"
Barkley sneered and said, "Of course I know, you are a friend of middle-aged women, Mark is a friend of elderly women, and all my colleagues in the live broadcast room know it, think about the letters sent to you by those middle-aged and elderly female fans......"
Jackson quickly interrupted him and said, "Don't be like this, Charles, it's a national live broadcast now, let's focus on the game." ”
Barkley made a gesture to spare your life, and then said: "Okay, then let's focus on the game, the first round of the playoffs is in the second game, today we are going to focus on the Warriors vs. the Hornets, the last game, and finally the Warriors had the last laugh, they sat at home and won by 15 points at 99-84, and there seems to be nothing surprising about this, the Warriors should win, shouldn't they?" ”
Smith retorted: "But the Hornets are also popular, heartthrob Paul Chris, who doesn't love this handsome little guy?" ”
"Wait," Barkley said, "are we talking about basketball or beauty pageants?" ”
"Actually, even if it's a beauty pageant, the Warriors seem to have the advantage. Look, Allen Iverson, Uncle Vicissitudes; Hill, Elegant Oba; Chamberlain, brave and handsome; Curry, the little brother over flowers...... Damn, this Warriors team is so jealous! Jackson said smugly.
"Let's keep our eyes on the arena, and if we go on, I'm worried about what you two beasts will do to me that shameful of me." Barkley laughed.
"Okay, the warm-up is over, the starting list is out, let's see, the Warriors are still Chamberlain, Ibaka, Jackson, Carter and West, it seems that this is their playoff list."
"The Hornets have changed their roster, Okafor, Asik, Ariza, Paul and Peja, wow, they have changed two starters at once, don't they think about stability?"
"Let's focus on the field, now the two sides start to jump the ball, okay, the game will start soon, the big battle is about to start, dear fans, please allow me to make an advertisement here, Uncle Mack's burger, eat one and think two, eat two and think three-******, what kind of bad advertisement was this chosen by the program team? Let's watch the game, hey, don't change the channel, I won't put ads. "Barkley's funny is always one of the most popular scenes in TNT basketball.
It was still Chamberlain and Okafor who jumped the ball in the midfield, and it was still Chamberlain who threw the racket to West, and Paul rushed up to steal it.
West is also hard-tempered, when people encounter Paul's steals, they are all stepping back to protect the ball, he is a dangerous move, not retreating but advancing, and also rushing forward, so that he and Paul collided together, and there was a strong muscle collision at the beginning.
"Hey, boy, want to steal me? Do you want revenge? Uh-huh? Avenge?! After all, West has the advantage of strength and body, and he will spray when he knocks Paul away.
Paul's eyes were red, and he was determined to win this game.
Rushing up front, West saw Oxlade-Chamberlain cut into the box from the middle and waved his arm in.
Chamberlain got the ball and immediately leaned down, put his left shoulder against Odom, and began to push his back inside.
As soon as Asik saw that Chamberlain was going to play, he immediately followed in and unfolded the bag from behind, which was also the intention of the Hornets to arrange a double center, and the Hornets coaching staff made a summary after the game, thinking that Landry was used as a starter on the court, and the restrictions on Chamberlain were not enough, so this game was not common sense, and the double center was simply released.
"The Hornets opened the game against Z, Asik's action was fast, his goal was basketball, but Z reacted quickly, he saw Asik turn around and put away the ball, okay, pass, Z passed the ball to Ibaka who stepped back and stepped back, the Congolese did not hesitate to get the ball, shot in the vacant space, 'Wow', two points in hand!"
"The Hornets are wrapping Z like this, and they are basically making way for the others!"
"But it's not good if you don't wrap it, what number did Z win in the last game? 38 points, 18 rebounds! Z single-handedly defeated the Hornets! ”
The Hornets counterattacked, Paul quickly advanced to the frontcourt, he hastily looked at the position of his teammates, waved his hand, Ariza came up to cover him, Paul immediately broke through, and Peja ran from the wing along the three-point line to the bottom of the foot, setting up a gun rack to respond.
Chamberlain blocked Paul's way, Paul passed the ball out to Peja, Peja got the ball and immediately jumped, with elegant posture and elegant movements, which can be called a three-point shooting textbook, but unfortunately the ball hit the iron and bounced up directly.
Chamberlain jumped up like a rocket to grab the ball, he himself dribbled the ball over the free throw line and passed to West, who rushed to the frontcourt, Paul's tough defense slowed West's advance, he waved his hand to play positional battle, and then passed the ball to Chamberlain.
Asik and Okafor continued to wrap up, Chamberlain missed, Ariza rushed in quickly to grab the rebound, Paul turned and ran, Ariza threw the ball to the frontcourt, West chased after him, but Paul's desire to attack was very strong, and he jumped into the box to make a layup.
West reached out and pulled it up, destroying Paul's layup, and Paul helplessly stood on the free throw line and hit both balls, but the momentum was different.
Because of the Hornets' bag, Chamberlain missed his first three shots, which lifted the Hornets' coaching staff, and it looked like they were doing a good job defending Chamberlain today.
The Hornets didn't shoot well from the outside, so Paul hit inside, Asik got the ball and turned around to hook his hand, Chamberlain ghostly transferred out, staring at him like a hungry wolf, so that Asik was difficult to dribble, and it was naturally not easy to play.
Fortunately, Okafor ran from the baseline to the basket, Asik passed the ball in, Okafor got the ball and jumped up to dunk, but Chamberlain had already completed the turn when Asik passed the ball, so Okafor jumped, and he also jumped up, covering the sky with a big hat.
West got the ball and immediately pressed down with his hands, the Warriors did not break fast, but ran forward without hurry, covering each other, tacitly changing positions, and Chamberlain entered the interior to fight for space for his teammates.
Seeing Chamberlain in place, West didn't hesitate to pass the ball in, so that Okafor and Asic unfolded the bag again, sandwiching Chamberlain in the middle like a sandwich.
Chamberlain slammed his back like a steel plate backwards, Okafor couldn't withstand such a force at all, so he staggered back two steps, Asik was prepared, so he aimed at the ball in Chamberlain's hand, just waiting for him to knock Okafor and dribble, and then break the ball.
Seeing this, Chamberlain did not attack blindly, but turned around and grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it at Ibaka. Asik's mobility was also excellent, and when he was ready to make a tackle, he immediately moved sideways and blocked Chamberlain's passing lane.
As a result, Chamberlain did not pass the ball, Asik saw the orange figure of the ball dangling in front of him and then disappeared, Chamberlain pulled the ball back, turned and slapped the ball to the basket, got up and threw the ball, and sent it into the hoop steadily.
Strong ability is willful!
Chamberlain's opening was invincible.
Halfway through the quarter, Chamberlain slipped to the basket, West understood it, passed the ball in time, and Chamberlain relayed a dunk in the air.
Thirty seconds later, Chamberlain asked for the ball in the high post, then changed direction and broke into the box, scored a layup, and scored again.
However, the Hornets' opening offensive success rate remained good, Peja hit a three-pointer in the opening game, Ariza also hit a mid-range shot, and under Paul's command, the Hornets' offense was organized, and it was not until two minutes left in the first quarter that the Warriors took a 20-19 lead.
At the end of the first quarter, Chamberlain scored 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting, and the Warriors eventually led 27-26.
Old Nelson was not satisfied with this result, and he yelled, "Bastard, look at the current result!" It's almost the end of the game, how many points did you score? If you're concentrating on defense, how can the opposition score so many points? ”
In the second quarter, the Warriors changed their lineup, Chamberlain brought Iverson to the main game, and now the Warriors are not the main force, of course, Chamberlain is definitely going to be hard, the guard line is in turn, West, Curry, Carter, Jackson is the main force, Blair, Hill, Iverson, Barnes also have a chance.
The defender of Paul was replaced by Barnes, so that Paul wanted to use his speed to break through at the beginning, but Barnes stuck to him like kraft candy, and when Paul passed, he directly swung his elbow and made a bad elbow.
This kind of action is very common in the playoffs, and Paul had to slow down in pain, and the Hornets' offensive rhythm was suddenly disrupted.
On the Warriors' side, they are just firing on the inside, and they are bullying the Hornets inside.
In TNT's live broadcast room, Barkley, Smith, and Jackson were in high spirits and began to quickly explain the game: "Iverson held the ball to the frontcourt, if it was young, the answer would definitely be to break through, but not now, Chris Paul's defense is really good, I am optimistic that this kid will enter the defense this year." ”
"But Chris thought he could defend Allen, that couldn't be, Allen passed the ball to Chamberlain, ha, that's the Warriors' tactic, pass the ball to the center from the outside - SUPER-Z held the ball and came to turn and dunk! Oh oh oh oh God, this guy is really savage, look at Asik's expression, this poor kid is stunned, right? ”
Z got the ball again, he pushed back, God, the Hornets unfolded a three-man package, except for the two inside, Ariza on the wing also followed, this is looking for death, doesn't Ariza know, Barnes's three-point shot is very accurate? What a three-pointer! Three-point hit! ”
Halfway through the second quarter, Barnes hit a three-pointer to give the Warriors a 37-30 lead that stretched to seven points at one point.
Seeing that the Warriors were about to win an absolute advantage, the Hornets suddenly felt a convulsion, first Paul hit a three-point shot, and then after the switch between offense and defense, the Warriors missed the shot, Okafor won the rebound, and the Hornets broke fast.
The Warriors followed up in time from the outside, and the Hornets did not play a fast break, but could only start a positional battle, and with the arrival of Chamberlain, the Hornets' offense was curbed even more, and after a series of passes, they did not get a chance to shoot.
Seeing that the 24 seconds were about to end, it was still Paul, who gritted his teeth and made a three-point shot under the pressure of Iverson, and hit again!
After scoring six points in a row, the Warriors' hard-won lead was tied again.
The two teams then locked each other for nearly three minutes, and with 2:35 left in the quarter, Iverson scored three points on a free throw with a layup and a foul on Ariza.
Chamberlain and Carter also hit back-to-back shots after that, leaving one in the quarter. With five seconds left, Chamberlain hit a one-on-one basket and drew another foul on Asik, and he hit a free throw to extend the Warriors' lead at 49-40.
