NBA human tank

Chapter 237
~

The Battle of New Orleans was the most passionate media rendering recently, and it was also a showdown between Mars and Earth.

This game is also the third time that TNT has broadcast the matchup between the two teams live this season.

The number of live broadcasts that the Hornets have obtained this season is terrifying, not necessarily less than other powerful players.Of course, although they don't have too many superstars, their excellent record still makes the media place them in a very important position.

"Kenny, what do you think of this game? Both teams are bound to win this game, and there is no room for loss!" In the TNT live broadcast room, Barkley asked with a smile.

"I'm still more optimistic about the Lakers." Regarding Barkley's question, Smith said with confidence.

The expression on his face was very confident, as if he had some absolute certainty.For a moment, Barkley was taken aback by him.

"The Lakers were double-killed by the Hornets in the previous two games. Do you still have confidence in them?"

The two asked and answered, which caused the fans watching the live broadcast to also think about this question.

"Hey, although the Hornets defeated the Lakers in the two matchups, Charles, you must know that the Lakers value this game, and they will definitely use the intensity of the finals to deal with this game. Relatively speaking , The Hornets have no experience in the playoffs, what can they use to fight the Lakers."

"You are also arbitrary. Although the Hornets have not experienced the tempering of the playoffs, they are actually very strong, and their scoring explosiveness is also very strong. In the previous game against the Thunder, the Hornets rose up after trailing by 22 points at halftime. Chasing, taking the victory away from Oklahoma abruptly. Even if the Lakers play this game as the finals, I am still optimistic about the Hornets."

After a pause, not giving Smith a chance to speak, Barkley continued: "The Hornets have the right time, place and people. Even David has come to New Orleans. Are you still optimistic about the Lakers?"

"Just wait and see, the Lakers will never allow the Hornets to steal their longest winning streak just like that."

Smith was right about one thing. The Lakers did play this game as the finals, and everyone couldn't bear the consequences of losing.

The Lakers were already mentally prepared before coming to New Orleans. They would rather score less than suppress the Hornets' attack.As long as the Hornets score lower than themselves, they can win.

Of course, they will not be soft on offense.

Nash holds the ball to organize the team's offense.Although head coach D'Antoni's tactics are basically shooting and shooting, this game can't be like this. They must first find the Hornets' flaws and then kill them with one blow.Otherwise, the Hornets' counterattack is no joke.

After coming to the front court, Nash immediately transferred the ball in his hand, because Yang Yi had already surrounded him.

The basketball came to Kobe.Facing Gordon, who was defending tightly, he didn't take a shot immediately.

Kobe is resolute in his heart, but he also knows that now is not the opportunity for him to display his unique skill - 'tri-iron tetroxide'.He chose to give the ball to Gasol, who was in a better position, and let Gasol use the changeable footwork around the basket to force Anderson.

Needless to say, Gasol's reputation, the former bear king, is now an All-Star player, and his abilities cannot be underestimated.With the ball in his hands, he can shoot and pass, and he can do many things with his wide vision.

However, although Gasol is strong, Anderson is not stage fright.After being by Yang Yi's side for so long, he was also infected by Yang Yi's temperament.

As the saying goes, what kind of general leads what kind of soldiers, Fatty plays very tough, and his teammates who followed him in the league also changed their previous weak style.Whether it is the offensive end or the defensive end, they will carry forward their tough style.

What's more, as the team with the first record in the league, the players have gradually honed a bit of star temperament.Along the way, many alliance tyrants were killed by them, and when they faced these tycoons, they no longer had the timidity they had before, but instead they were full of energy.

Now Anderson is in such a state. Facing Gasol who is attacking with the ball, he behaved very calmly.Hands up, while jamming Gasol's offensive line.

Gasol tried it out and saw that Anderson didn't waver in the slightest. He knew that he had no chance for an easy layup unless he played hard.

There is no good chance, and the teammates are also stalked by other Hornets players, and there is no good chance to pass it out.Gasol decided to do it himself.It's just Anderson. If he wants to make a layup, can he really block himself?

Gasol hit Anderson twice with the ball on his back. Seeing that Anderson was still the same, he stopped the ball in his hand and began to use his flexible feet to shake from side to side, hoping to shake Anderson away.

If these actions met Anderson last season, they might be able to shake him away.But now Anderson has gone through a series of experiences, and he is no longer Wuxia Amon. No matter how Gasol shakes, he is still standing still, just using his hands and feet to block Gasol's offensive line.

"Hey, Kenny, the Lakers' plan to let Paul eat Anderson alone is not going to work. Anderson's defense is very stable, and he has not been affected by Paul at all. It seems that he has improved a lot. If before, he would definitely Will be dizzy by Paul." When Gasol and Anderson were singled out, Barkley's mouth was as quick as a machine gun.

"Anderson's changes are indeed very big. Not only him, but all the players of the Hornets have been improved. Otherwise, they would not have the best record in the league and the current 33 consecutive victories." On this issue, Smith agrees Barkley's view.

Seeing that the attack was about to arrive in three seconds, Gasol didn't care too much. He jumped in front of Anderson and threw the basketball in his hand with a small hook.

Bang!

The ball hit the inside of the basket and didn't fall into the net at once. Instead, it swiped around the basket and then fell slowly.

good chance!
Seeing Gasol's hook miss, Anderson realized his chance had come.He has already stuck Gasol behind him, and as long as he jumps lightly, the rebound will be his in seven or eight out of ten.

Just when he was about to jump up and catch the ball full of joy, he suddenly received an impact on his back, and then only heard a 'clang'.

Anderson staggered and looked back.I saw Howard hanging on the basket with his legs bent, his face was quite excited.

Anderson suddenly understood what was going on. It turned out that at the moment he was about to jump up, Howard also jumped up to make a tip. As a result, he suffered an accident and was knocked away from the basket by Howard.

Thinking of this, Anderson glanced at Lopez leisurely, if he can hold Howard, this rebound will be his own.

In the much-anticipated game, the first offense ended with Gasol missing a hook and Howard making a dunk.
