From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 105 Hiding a fart, just go up and do it

The starters of both sides came to the midfield, and Horford and Howard jumped the ball in the midfield.

Celtics starting lineup: Irving, Rozier, Brown, Jianghu, Horford.

Hornets starters: Kemba Walker, Michael Gilchrist, Marvin Williams, Nicolas Batum, Dwight Howard.

"Warcraft" Howard jumped to win the ball, and the game began.

The first attack of the game belonged to the Hornets. They played very simply. Kemba Walker took the ball to the frontcourt and called a pick-and-roll at will.

He has a good touch and hits the ball when he comes up, and the home fans also cheered for him. 0:2.

Irving dribbled forward, and Jiang Hu ran forward empty-handed.

"Dude, I'll guard against you this time!!" Batum used his strong body to block Jianghu.

Jianghu could have expected this to happen before the game. In the two preseason games, Marvin and McGee had defended him, but the effect was not very good. Today's round should be Batum's turn up.

Jianghu didn't speak, but pushed Batum away, and began to cut to the basket.

Horford leaned on Howard with his back, but he did not launch an offense, but was paying attention to the movements of Jianghu, because he always kept in mind the head coach's explanation: the first quarter focused on Jianghu.

Batum clings to Jianghu and cuts to the basket, but his speed is no match for Jianghu.

Jianghu deliberately ran past Horford and Howard, using their bodies to block Batum's footsteps. After running to the outside line, he received a pass from Horford and used Brown's cover to block Batum again.

With a three-pointer, Batum made a hit without effective interference. 3:2.

CCTV's sports channel is also broadcasting the game live today. Although it is Tuesday, many players are still watching the game.

Zhang Weiping was happy: "It's ok, Xiao Jiang, you'll hit it when you come up! This is it!!"

Yu Jia nodded and responded: "This is what we often say, called: microwave oven feel, I think Xiao Jiang's hand feel is like a microwave oven, every time it heats up very fast and very accurate, worthy of the best newcomer this year."

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "I think he has adapted well to the Celtics. Compared with the first game of the season, he has more tactics and a higher status. He can adapt much better than when Dayao first left. "

"In the first game, he always asked for the ball from his teammates, and the teammates were a little reluctant. Now, the teammates are looking for him and giving him the ball. The situation is quite different."

The fans sitting in front of the TV watching the game and Yao Ming, the chairman of the Basketball Association, also had the same feelings as Zhang Weiping, and all showed gratified smiles.

The Hornets had the ball, and Walker took the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Howard in the high position.

Howard is more comfortable in the Hornets than the Rockets and the Lakers. He can often have the ball-handling opportunities he wants, and no one will say that he is not serious in the pick-and-roll.

He is also happy in this way. After the injury, he is more inclined to be a happy beast than the magical beast that flies into the sky and hides from the ground.

He faced Horford with the ball, took a tentative step, squeezed two steps back with a back hit, and then hooked directly, looking stiff, but still scored. 3:4.

"Hey Al, maybe you should push me harder and push me out!!"

Howard, who hit the hook, was also very excited, and made a joke at Horford, but Horford pushed him and ignored him with a smile.

The two have known each other for many years and have been rivals in the East for many years. When Howard was at his peak, Horford was still a kid. Now the two are almost in the same position.

Both sides did not test, and they fought against each other from the beginning of the game. This is destined not to be a defensive contest, but an offensive contest.

The Celtics fought in a position, and Jianghu moved to get the ball beyond the three-point line.This time Batum chased desperately, bypassing cover and followed closely behind.

Jiang Hu raised the ball with both hands and feigned it, and Batum raised his center of gravity and raised his toes.With the ball in his left hand, Jianghu changed direction and made a breakthrough in the middle. He stopped and made a jumper with a step inside the three-point line, and hit a long two-pointer.

Celtics 5:4 Hornets.

The defense of the Hornets is ridiculous. Even Batum, who is the team's top defensive perimeter player, will be passed by in one step.

In fact, they should take advantage of the current price to sell Walker, and then focus on playing poorly for two years, select Doncic or Tre Young in June next year, select a good rookie the year after, and sign a few capable veterans. Then you can rise up, instead of being stuck up and down like you are now.

It’s a pity that the owner of the Hornets is Michael Jordan. You can let him play with this boss. If you ask him to choose someone 100 times, he can choose wrong 98 times. The remaining two times he should choose what he thinks is wrong, but choose the right one. up.

The Hornets attacked, and both insiders pulled out to cover for Walker.

Jianghu and Horford bypassed from behind to give Walker a chance to shoot from the outside and prevent him from going to the basket to score.

Walker was not in a hurry, and passed the ball to Marvin Williams on the side. Williams broke through with the ball in the face of Brown, knocked him away with one step, and made a throw, but it missed.

The rivers and lakes went down quickly, and Batum made a foul in time to prevent this fast break.

The Celtics once again fell into positional warfare.

Jianghu received the ball on the outside.

The Hornets had the home whistle, and Batum grabbed Horford's jersey to speed himself up, but he still couldn't catch up, slow is slow, there is no way by nature.

Jianghu's straight breakthrough to the middle attracted Howard's defense, and passed the ball to Horford with a ground pass in the gap.Horford has the ability to shoot from the middle distance, so he doesn't need to rush to the basket at all, and the mid-range shot comes with just one hand.

Celtics 7:4 Hornets.

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "The Celtics are around the rivers and lakes and can play a lot of tactical changes. His size and strength are naturally adapted to the small ball era. He is born to be a misplaced machine. He is not as fast as he is taller than him. He is faster than him." Not as tall as him, Batum belongs to the third category."

Yu Jia asked with interest: "Oh, which one?"

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "The third type is that he is neither as high nor as fast as Jianghu. If Jianghu catches him, he will be pounded and hammered randomly. This is called punching for fear of the young, and killing the old master with random punches!!"

Batum scratched his head helplessly, and looked at Hornets coach Clifford on the sidelines.

Clifford completely ignored his gaze, but made a trumpet with his hands and yelled at Walker: "KB, run, run, speed up!!"

As for the head coach, Walker dare not neglect, he just rushes forward with the ball, Irving's speed is not slow, and he can follow him closely.

When he came to the frontcourt, Walker accelerated and rushed to the basket without waiting for his teammates to get in position.

Horford made a shot and immediately returned to defense, and sent an interference to Walker in time. Walker's layup went out of the frame again.

Looking at the offensive and defensive rhythm of the Hornets, Jianghu was overjoyed. It was indeed the most correct decision to choose this team.

Irving passed the ball quickly, and went directly to the basket without waiting for his teammates to get in position outside the three-point line.

Howard is under the basket. If he is at his peak, the world may have to think about how to avoid him.

but now? ?

Just hide, just go up and do it.

Jianghu charged straight up with the ball, regardless of Sanqi 21, Howard didn't defend him with all his strength when he saw him coming aggressively, but tentatively pounced from the side to make a show.

"Boom." Jiang Hu scored with a heavy dunk of both hands.

Celtics 9:4 Hornets.
