452 St. Paul the Indomitable
With Hill's dunk, the Grizzlies are completely on the rise.
On the bench, old Jones took the lead in waving the towel, Guy, Big Baby, and Varick twisted their butts, Zhu Fangyu punched the sky, and made an Ultraman move: Do you believe in light?
"Don't rush, don't rush, take your time."
Paul controlled the ball, kept his tempo and tried to control the situation.
It was not easy for Paul, who was in the third grade, to be able to do this.
Just look closely, and you'll notice that Paul's eyes are scanning back and forth, slightly uneasy.
He forced himself to calm down.
When your teammates aren't in good shape, that's when you need to step up.
Paul's mind was still clear.
So this one, he intends to play it himself.
With a decision, Paul immediately summoned Yi Jianlian to block and force Gasol to change defenses.
Paul against Pau Gasol.
Small and big is what Paul does best.
Paul changed direction continuously, with a sharp stop, and the rhythm of the ball was perfect, and he played Gasol very badly, which was simply military training.
Past Gasol, Paul instantly accelerated, pounced on the basket, and got up to make a layup.
However, at this moment, a figure fell from the sky.
Grizzlies No. 15, Li Lei, the ubiquitous assistant defense monster.
Syllable!
Li Lei slapped the basketball that Paul had just shot on the rebound.
Bloody pegboard hats, simply cruel.
Paul was stunned.
Li Lei then relied on his height advantage to accept the ball.
Paul didn't give up and made a lightning strike to get the ball back.
The little guy who doesn't admit defeat, his fighting spirit is worthy of recognition, but ......
You're facing Li Lei!
How is it possible to give you such an opportunity?
Li Lei held the basketball high to avoid Paul's sneak attack, and then found Lowry as soon as possible.
Lowry had already rushed past halfcourt, galloping, and scored on the board.
Bang, boom!
10:2。
At the beginning of the game, the Hornets had the feeling of being knocked down.
Byron? Coach Scott was really an afterthought and didn't call a timeout until then.
But it was too late, and the Grizzlies were already on the ground.
Lowry roared with his fist, Gasol was scrappy, and Hill was full of spring breeze......
The morale of the Grizzlies has been raised.
During the pause, Coach Carlisle glanced at Li Lei, and then said tentatively: "Grant is in good shape tonight, he needs to attack more." Stone, you watch the defensive end. ”
He wanted to see if Li Lei cared about the ball and data.
"No problem!"
Li Lei responded without hesitation.
I don't know if I didn't understand Carlisle's words, or if I really didn't care.
Carlisle couldn't read it anyway, but he was relieved.
In this way, Stone doesn't particularly care about the ball and the stats.
After the pause, Paul continued to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the offense and summoned Yi Jianlian to come out to block and dismantle.
But this time, Li Lei was more decisive, and Gasol pounced the moment he changed his defense, and cooperated with Gasol to pinch Paul.
The timing was so good that Paul was caught off guard and it was a mistake.
Li Lei took the opportunity to steal and launched a fast attack by himself.
Peterson entangled Li Lei, and Paul desperately chased after him.
Li Lei was not in a hurry, and handed a flank pass to Hill.
Hill rose from the ground, and clasped his hands heavily again.
Bang!
12:2。
Exploded.
The New Orleans arena was silent, and New Orleans fans held their heads in their hands and looked at the court in bewilderment, unable to accept it.
Before the game, they felt that the home team and the Grizzlies were not far behind, and the Hornets even had a slight advantage.
After all, the Hornets are second in the West, and the Grizzlies are third in the West.
But no one expected that as soon as the game started, the Hornets collapsed in the first quarter.
"The most important thing is that Stone hasn't made a lot of effort yet, and he's scored zero so far!"
The words narrated at the scene were even more murderous.
"The most important thing is that Paul made two attempts, one missed the shot, one turnover."
At this point, the manager should call another timeout.
It's not a good sight, but it always gives the team a breather.
Pity Byron? Scott is famously a nerd coach who stands on the sidelines with his hands on his chest, expressionless and motionless......
That's all Scott does.
Got Phil? Jackson's appearance, but not Phil's ability.
Seeing that the Hornets are about to collapse......
At this moment, Yi Jianlian took the initiative to ask for the ball, and hit Gasol with his back in one step inside the three-point line, and the sudden back turned around quickly, and he entered the penalty area and broke out directly.
Bang!
12:4。
"! it! The UAE is awesome! ”
"Space is easy!"
"The UAE can really jump!"
……
Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean sprayed on the spot.
Li Lei was also surprised.
To tell the truth, Yi Jianlian's independent offensive ability is very average.
In real time and space, the UAE's shooting options are often criticized, and the shooting rate is not high.
But there is a saying that is true, he can do anything, but he is not good at anything.
Occasionally, the UAE can also play a good attack.
What's more, the UAE is tough.
Don't look at him as taciturn, but he has a strong heart.
In the situation just now, the whole Hornets team was stunned, Paul couldn't open the situation, but Yi Jianlian dared to make a move, this is courage.
For another example, during the regular season, Garnett targeted Yi Jianlian's various small actions, and Yi Jianlian became bloody and immediately fought back.
Garnett sued the wicked first after the game, saying that Yi Jianlian played big.
Yi Jianlian didn't explain at all, and said directly: "The action is not big, what kind of basketball do you play?" ”
Garnett's face was red.
Yi Jianlian, who landed on the ground, did not celebrate, but rushed forward with a resolute face.
This gave the Hornets all hands back to hope.
Grizzlies offense.
Hill continued to break through the trap and distribute it to Lowry.
The Hornets were quick to rebuild, and Lowry shook his way and then broke through and hit the basket.
Syllable!
However, Tyson? Chandler slapped the fan out of the way.
"The King of Fighters" is also top-notch in terms of frame protection.
Paul took the opportunity to launch a fast break and stole 2 points with a layup.
12:6。
Grizzlies offense.
Hill's mid-range pullup jump shot pops off the frame.
Bang dang!
At this point, the Grizzlies' shooting percentage dropped a bit.
The Hornets attack.
Yi Jianlian once again took the initiative to ask for the ball and singled Gasol.
But this time Gasol was on guard, and Yi Jianlian's offense was a little reluctant, and his irrational mid-range jumper did not score.
Bang dang!
The Hornets' offense finally broke off.
"Rebound!"
Li Lei reminded his teammates loudly.
However, it was still a step too late, Chandler squeezed Milicic hard, grabbed an important frontcourt board, and stood up to Milicic's defensive second dunk.
Bang!
Didi!
2+1。
With Chandler hitting a free throw, the score became 12-9.
The Hornets went on a 7-0 offensive wave to chase the score back.
The momentum of the New Orleans fans returned, and they jumped from their seats, waved their fists, and shouted wildly, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.
At the critical moment, Li Lei held the ball, and the Grizzlies settled down.
But the Hornets were thrilled, and the fans in the stadium shouted in unison:
"Hornets, come on!"
"Come on, Hornets!"
"Defend! Defend! Defending ......"
Peterson also stared at Li Lei with a fierce face.
He got the team's morale bonus, as if he felt that he could do it again and could guard against Li Lei.
Li Lei was unmoved, made a false move, started directly, pulled back the basketball, and stepped back to shoot a jumper......
A set of movements is smooth, without the slightest drag and water, elegant and clean.
However, Peterson actually followed.
It's the Hornets' best outside gate.
Peterson jumped to his feet and struggled to block it. It was only then that Peterson discovered a problem.
The highest point of his block couldn't reach Li Lei's shot.
Peterson: "......"
"Hey, demon spirit, I'll report: someone here is hanging."
Peterson really wanted to call the police.
The basketball passed Peterson's fingertips, swiped a graceful parabola, and landed firmly into the hoop.
Swish!
15:9。
"Congratulations, you've successfully unlocked me."
Li Lei "comforted" Peterson.
Peterson didn't want to speak, and had the evil idea of hacking Li Lei to death.
Paul came over and patted Peterson on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll help you defend in the next round." ”
Peterson breathed a sigh of relief.
He really can't prevent it alone!
The Hornets attacked, and Paul broke through and caused Gasol to foul and hit one of two free throws.
。
The gap is not big, only 5 points.
New Orleans fans weren't too worried and still cheered on the home team.
Li Lei holds the ball outside the three-point line.
Paul looked at Li Lei, ready to help defend at any time.
At this moment, Li Lei suddenly glanced at Paul.
Paul felt Li Lei's eyes and felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, Li Lei pulled it out directly.
Assist in defense? Inexistent!
You don't have a chance.
Paul didn't react, and Peterson was also deceived by Li Lei's gaze that looked to the flank just now.
Swish!
。
Once again, the New Orleans arena was silent.
Li Lei's two three-pointers poured on their heads like ice water, instantly extinguishing the momentum that the Hornets had just pulled out.
Subsequently, Hill regained his touch and scored consecutive points.
End of the first section.
The Grizzlies scored 33 points in the first quarter to lead by as many as 12 points.
Hill's performance was the brightest, with 10 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter.
Gasol had 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
Lowry had 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.
Li Lei had 6 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
……
The Grizzlies are in full swing and blooming everywhere.
It is worth mentioning that as the core of the team and a two-time scoring champion, Li Lei made a total of two shots in the first quarter, and shot 2 of 2 from outside the three-point line.
made 2 shots in a single quarter, which also broke Li Lei's record with the Grizzlies.
didn't exert much force on the offensive end, but Li Lei did a good job on the defensive end.
Two steals and two blocks also don't reflect his defensive value.
After all, defense itself is not something that can be withdrawn by data.
First of all, Peja who was opposite Li Lei, as the second scoring point of the Hornets, Peja only got 3 shots in the first quarter under Li Lei's close defense, and made 0 of 3 shots, contributing 0 points.
Secondly, Li Lei's co-defense made Paul also play very uncomfortable, the blocking and dismantling tactics were always delayed, and the individual offense would be sandwiched, and Paul's efficiency in the first quarter was not high, with 7 shots and 2 shots, scoring 7 points.
It is worth mentioning that Yi Jianlian also scored 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 block in the first quarter, and had a very key goal and played with momentum.
Coming back in the second quarter, Carlisle tightly controlled Hill's playing time to avoid injuries.
Let Guy, Jones Sr., and Zhu Fangyu take on more tasks.
Guy did a great job, inheriting Ciel's firepower.
The fight made Li Lei depressed: these teammates didn't give him a chance to attack.
Before he could make a move, the Hornets couldn't take it.
"Okay, I'd better be a coolie blue-collar worker and defend well."
Li Lei is in pain and happy.
But there's more to it than that.
What is Happy Planet? Of course, lie down to win!
At half-time,.
The Grizzlies already have a 19-point lead.
End of the third section.
The Grizzlies' lead reached a whopping 21 points.
Section 4, Byron? Scott was ready to give up.
But Paul didn't give up.
He stood up and came to Scott's side.
"Sir, the game is not over, we haven't lost yet, we still have hope. Let me play, I'll fight for this victory! ”
Who can say no to such a core of the team?
Naturally, Scott agreed.
Paul didn't rest, and the fourth quarter started fighting from the first minute and the first second.
He relied on the block again, switched to Varik, relied on the textbook small hit, broke through Varik, and scored 2 points.
。
Grizzlies offense.
The lead margin is relatively large, the Grizzlies players are somewhat relaxed, and Paul steals Tyronn? Lue, fast break to score 2 more points.
。
Grizzlies offense.
They still didn't anticipate what was going to happen next, the tactics were poor, and Guy forced his shot with talent, which was blocked by Peterson.
The 183cm Paul resisted Glenn? Davis, snatching a rebound.
"Incredible!"
It wasn't until this moment that the Grizzlies got nervous.
Carlisle jumped up from the bench and yelled at his disciples.
"You guys play with this attitude, why don't you go back to the bench and guard the water dispenser. What else is played? Idiot! Do you really think you've won? ”
Sure enough, in the next moment, Paul scored another 2 points on a mid-range jumper.
。
Paul scored six straight points to close the deficit to 15 points.
The angry coach Carlisle directly replaced the five substitutes on the field, five down and five up, not giving them a chance.
Grizzlies offense.
Hill misses a mid-range rollover jumper.
"Oops! Hill had been resting for too long, and his hands were feeling cold. ”
Director Zhang Weiping was a little worried.
A little happy again: "The Hornets have a chance. ”
The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and Zhang Weiping's guidance has no choice, so he can only support who is behind.
Paul continued to attack with the ball.
In the previous round, Paul scored 6 points in a row, and the Grizzlies will naturally focus on taking care of him and directly send him to the "double bag" package.
But Paul sent a delicate horizontal pass, and Yi Jianlian on the baseline caught the ball and threw it, and hit a key three-pointer.
Swish!
。
The Hornets went on a 9-0 offensive run, narrowing the deficit from 21 to 12 points at once.
The New Orleans fans were so excited that they all stood up and shouted cheers:
"Chris? Paul, you're the real MVP! ”
"Easy, shoot beautifully, shoot through the opposite side."
"Peterson, Death Stone!"
"Tyson? Chandler, guarding the basket. ”
"Peja,......, forget it."
"Hornets, rush!"
