On the court, Lillard, who was caught in the "cannon jam", quickly contributed his first famous scene of the night.

At this moment, no matter how wronged Lillard is, he can't change the fact that the basketball in his hand was snatched away by Leonard.

Wang Shuo's previous life, as the NBA Finals MVP in history this season, although Leonard's MVP was forcibly stuffed to him by someone in a sense......

But judging by Leonard's performance on the field at the time......

In fact, Leonard was already quite capable of defending himself in his third year of career.

In this life, under the active guidance of Wang Shuo, Leonard, who is more confident and more optimistic and cheerful at the moment, can be said to have shown a completely different aura from last season tonight.

In the center of the spectrum, after snatching Lillard, I saw Leonard riding fast and slashing Huashan, which ignited the atmosphere of the entire arena in an instant.

Coming back, the Trail Blazers attacked.

This time, Green was brought up to the high organization, and Guy went down under cover.

Spit and spit and spit out.

You can't deny that Green is a player with some insight and a big picture view.

This ball, after noticing Guy's down, Green sent the basketball to Guy as soon as possible.

However, Guy, who is amazingly gifted physically, was ruthlessly blocked by Leonard when he turned to make a layup.

By anticipating in advance, Leonard was stuck early in the morning in the path that Guy had to take to launch an attack.

On the Hornets bench, looking at Leonard, who was full of energy on the defensive end tonight, Wang Shuo knew that Leonard did take to heart the small goals he set for him before the start of the regular season.

This season, in Wang Shuo's eyes, as long as Leonard is willing to work towards the goals he has set for him, he will definitely become the most powerful contender for the NBA's best defensive player.

Because as Curry's defense gradually approaches the NBA's guard average, and the Hornets become more and more tacit when defending......

The Hornets, who focused more on offense during the regular season last season, are bound to deliver a very different defensive record.

And at that time, Leonard will also benefit from it.

Especially when people review the Hornets' defense in the future.

Leonard, who can always steal the spotlight on the defensive end, will definitely be favored by many basketball experts because of this.

On the court, the Hornets possessed the ball after Leonard completed a block on Gay.

In order to limit Curry's scoring on the court, Batum managed to steal the cover that Garnett gave Curry.

If it was last season, even if he was against Batum at the moment, Curry would have forced his shot.

But after a year of learning how to control the court with Paul, Curry's ability to judge the situation on the court has obviously improved a lot.

Admittedly, Paul was flawed.

But you can't deny that Paul is a player who has always had a positive impact on young players.

For example, Griffin when Paul played for the Clippers, such as Alexander when Paul played for the Thunder, such as Booker when Paul played for the Suns, and Ayton, who even gave Suns fans a glimmer of hope under Paul's guidance.

In this ball, Curry, who did not shoot blindly, handed the ball back to Paul, and Paul passed the ball to Leonard's hand on the other side.

Previously, in order to concentrate their forces to defend Curry, the overall defensive focus of the Trail Blazers was biased to the side where Curry was located.

Therefore, Leonard's position at the moment is exactly the weak side of the Trail Blazers' defense.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, many people didn't understand it......

Why is it that even in those games where Paul's assist stats are not particularly outstanding, Paul's team has a particularly reasonable sense of play.

In fact, this is because in basketball, assists are only the last step for a team from the offense to the finish.

The real essence of Paul is his ability to guide his teammates to execute the tactics assigned by the coach like a team's on-court coach.

As a result, their teams tend to always play with optimal solutions on the field, which improves the offensive efficiency of the whole team.

In Wang Shuo's view, Paul is equivalent to his second brain for this wasp.

Especially after its complete transformation into the auxiliary core of this Wasp.

Through Paul, Wang Shuo will not only be able to control the game better, but the young players of the Hornets will also be able to learn how to play properly on the court through such games.

On the field, facing Gay's defense, the expressionless Leonard chose to pull out after holding the ball and observing the position between him and Gay.

Hmmm——!

As Leonard has grown, the Hornets have become the most fantastic team Wang Shuo has ever coached.

Although this Hornets, including Curry, have one or another shortcoming......

But after complementing each other, this team can only be described as impeccable in Wang Shuo's eyes.

Wang Shuo knows very well that Curry, who is on the edge of the sword, will have the disadvantage of not being stable enough at critical moments no matter what period of his career he is.

As it turns out, Heaven is fair.

As the most explosive player in NBA history in a single quarter, while having a very high ceiling, if Curry can always be on the court, then how do you let other teams in the NBA play?

In Wang Shuo's previous life, even the "God of War Library" in his memory would pay tribute to Kobe Bryant in some games because of his poor hand.

But at this moment, as Leonard grows......

Leonard, however, just made up for the hard solution problems his team faced when Curry was not feeling good.

In Wang Shuo's memory, Leonard, who has made more than 70 percent of his career two-point shots, has a true shooting rate of nearly 60%.

As a reliable and on-court offensive point, Leonard's appearance is undoubtedly the best slap in the face for those basketball experts who put forward the theory that mid-range shooting is useless.

In fact, no matter what era it is, mid-range shooting is an indispensable part of the basketball court.

Because under the premise that your three-point shot cannot be opened, and the opponent shrinks the defensive inside, the mid-range shooting area on both sides of the court is precisely the area where your side is most likely to get shots in the game.

In addition, Leonard's individual defensive ability and co-defense ability on the court also fully ensure that when Curry is beaten by the opponent's list, the Hornets can make the opponent pay enough for it.

This Hornet, Paul is in charge of the center.

Curry and Klay are in charge of providing the cap.

Plus Leonard to ensure the critical moment.

If the Hornets can draft Jokic and develop him according to Wang Shuo's plan next year......

In Wang Shuo's opinion, even if the Hornets have to let go of Butler and Middleton in the future......

According to conservative estimates, the Hornets will also dominate the NBA for at least ten years.

On the court, in the first quarter of the game, the ambitious Trail Blazers of the new season suffered a blow in the center of the spectrum.

On the scoreboard, the score of the two teams was 25-44 in the first quarter.

Curry shot 5-of-6 from the field in the first quarter, including 2-of-3 from three-point range and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line, and was very efficient for the Hornets to score 15 points, three rebounds and two assists.

Leonard had 12 points, two rebounds, two steals and one block.

Paul didn't have many assists in the first quarter, and only got 2 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds when he was replaced by Wang Shuo early.

But the fans who watched Paul's performance before being replaced throughout the whole process have already been impressed by Paul's offensive combing on the field.

As a coach who is very good at tuning the defense, Stotts simply can't do anything about the Hornets' offense on this night.

Because even if Stotts deliberately slowed down the pace of the game, the Hornets were always able to break down the Trail Blazers' defense in positional battles.

And if you just can't hold it, forget it......

After all, last season, the Hornets were known for their penchant for playing against opponents in games.

However, this game ......

The Hornets' defense also gave Stotts a tingling of what it means to be on the scalp.

After last season's tempering, Lillard, who already has a certain ability to burst alone, only made 2 of 8 shots in the first quarter.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, in fact, in addition to Curry, who "eats and sleeps and plays Lillard", Paul is also very good at bullying Lillard in the game.

If Wang Shuo remembers correctly......

Lillard faced Paul in his career, and his overall shooting percentage was only about 40%, and in the record against Paul, Lillard also lost more than he won.

Even, in the scoring area that Lillard is best at, Paul was able to suppress him until the age of 37.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Wang Shuo admires Lillard's character, it can't change the tragic situation that Lillard was bullied by Paul and Curry on both offensive and defensive ends in this game.

In the second quarter, Stotts adjusted the Trail Blazers' tactics and tried to chase points by speeding up after replacing McCollum.

However, this is exactly what Wang Shuo wants.

On the court, the Trail Blazers, who were still running in the lineup at the moment, not only failed to recover the score by speeding up, but they also provided the Hornets' second team with a lot of opportunities to counterattack because of continuous mistakes on the court.

Jefferson, who played with Paul in this quarter, can be considered to understand why Wang Shuo must lose weight in the summer.

Because in terms of the offensive rhythm of this Hornets, which fat paper can withstand such a frantic switchback run?

On the field, Jefferson, who successfully burned calories in the summer, can be described as a great power in the case of staggered travel.

In the first half of the second quarter, in addition to scoring 12 points on 6-of-6 shooting for the Hornets, he couldn't help but make the Trail Blazers who wanted to make a big difference this season before the start of the regular season doubt their lives.

No!

If you can play in the starting lineup, forget it!

Why is your bench so good?

After missing out on last season's scoring champion, Wang Shuo feels that Curry will most likely be insulated from the scoring champion in the future.

Because in terms of the fighting power of Jefferson, Spets, Butler, Middleton, and Paul that the Hornets sent tonight in the second quarter......

This season, Curry is likely to play only two quarters in most games before leaving work.

In the long history of the NBA, Wang Shuo has never seen a player win the scoring title by playing only half a game per game.

However, better teammates do improve Curry's efficiency on the court in a sense.

In the second half of the second quarter, when he returned to the court, Curry was pleasantly surprised to find ......

The Trail Blazers' defensive intensity on the court against him was significantly down two notches from the first quarter.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, Curry's career regular season and playoffs had the highest true shooting percentage, all of which were created when he worked with Durant.

Because when there are better teammates around, as long as the opponent can't keep the defensive focus on Curry, Curry will become a nightmare for all teams like he did when he was with the Lakers.

CCTV, when commenting on the game that had been completely spent before the first half was played, Yang Yi said with emotion: "Mike Malone really deserves to be a coach who has won the NBA Best Coach twice in a row.

Because people said as early as last season, there is not much time left for the rest of the NBA! ”

On the side, Yang Jian, who partnered with Yang Yi, echoed: "Wang Shuo's ability to shape a team is indeed amazing.

In just one season, the Hornets, who only made the playoffs last season, have already shown their championship appearance under him! ”

In this game, the performance of the Hornets can be said to have greatly shocked every basketball fan.

In addition to the mercury transition offense on the court, the Hornets' non-stop, non-stick ball passing and cutting coordination is also enjoyable to watch.

In front of the television, James, who was watching the opening game due to the Celtics' absence of a game tonight, was also shocked.

In James' opinion, if it were now up to him to lead the Celtics against this Hornets......

Then the Celtics have no chance of winning.

After ten years of precipitation, James, who already has a certain understanding of basketball at this moment, knows better than anyone that unless he chooses to join the Hornets with a base salary this season......

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be qualified to run with him for the following season.

It's horrible!

Why can basketball still be played like this?

Spectrum Center, halftime, 47-85.

In the second half of the game, with a large lead, the Hornets lowered the defensive intensity in the game.

However, the Trail Blazers were unable to prevent the tragedy from happening on this night.

Curry and Paul, who knew they would have to be replaced before they even finished the third quarter, seized the last opportunity in this quarter and frantically sprinkled layer after layer of salt on the Trail Blazers' wounds.

In the end, 87 to 148.

From being murdered when he was young, to being constantly giving tragedy to others at this moment, Paul just wants to say......

Playing under Wang Shuo is as cool as it gets.

And Lillard, who led the Trail Blazers to a record for the largest loss margin in team history, was captured by reporters on the bench in the final quarter with a dull look on his face, which perfectly illustrates the shock that the Hornets brought to the world on this night.

"Since entering the league, Lillard has always been known for his big heart and confidence......

But in this game, can you believe that even he is doubting life? CCTV, when the close-up of the last quarter was given to Lillard, I saw Yang Yi sigh like this.

In the game, Curry scored a total of 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists for the Hornets.

Paul had 10 points, 14 assists and five rebounds.

Leonard and Klay had 24 points, six rebounds, three steals and one block and 21 points, two rebounds and two steals, respectively.

Jefferson, who came off the bench, quietly cut down 22 points and 7 rebounds.

In addition, Butler and Middleton also scored 15 and 14 points, respectively.

After the game, the American media exclaimed for the performance of the Hornets on this night: "That man, it's about to start a new round of conquest of the NBA again!" ”
