Standing pretty old

Chapter 685 Victory over the Hornets Again
After the first Tianchao game ended, on the second day, the players of the two teams had a basketball without borders activity in Wanbei. 3VS3 confrontation.

The result is obvious, an exhibition match, as long as everyone is happy.

The players of the Hawks and Hornets had to embark on a trip to the imperial capital for the second NBA preseason game before they had time to taste the local specialty snacks in Wanbei.

On October 09, 10, imperial time, Wukesong Gymnasium was packed.

The second game of the 09-10 NBA Tianchao Game will officially start tonight.

Ruan Erniu is naturally the most popular existence among the two teams. After all, in China, he is the hero who led the men's basketball team to win the championship in 08.

In this game, the Eagles' starting No. [-] position changed again.

Woodson switched Mike Bibby back to the starting position again. It can be seen that the egg head still has more trust in the White Devil. At least Dragic, who has obviously grown a lot throughout the summer, has not yet ushered in a full top position so soon. Chance.

The Hornets' lineup has changed even more:
C Emeka Okafor

PF David West

SF Julian White

SG Darren Collison

PG Chris Paul
Among them, White and Collison, a member of the UCLA party, served as starters for the first time. They replaced Stojakovic and Morris Peterson.

I don't know what Byron Scott is thinking, anyway, Er Niu finds it interesting to see Collison appearing in the 2nd position.

Back then at UCLA, Darren pushed Russell (Westbrook) to the No. 2 position, but in the NBA, he was pushed to the No. 2 position by Paul.

Facing the two 6-foot (183CM) backcourts of the Hornets, it would be really strange if Jon Jonsen, who is over 2 meters tall, has no idea.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, Jon Jonsen hit consecutive three-pointers against Darren Collison, using the simplest step-back jumper, but the problem is that Collison couldn't really block it.

That is to say, in the preseason, the Eagles didn't mean to kill them all, otherwise Jiong Jisen would very likely explode in a single quarter and directly shoot the Hornets.

Er Niu, as the host, naturally couldn't be content to lag behind, and Okafor really couldn't guard against him.

If in the 07-08 season, when Ruan Erniu was still a rookie, Okafor could still cause him a little trouble to some extent, at this time Okafor has already been powerless against the Chinese.

Okafor is no longer the "hot pot owner" of the year. Due to injuries, the former Elvis Presley's athletic ability has degraded severely.

However, his life will not go dark. After all, he is also one of the top students in the NBA and has a bachelor's degree in finance. Even if this guy switches careers to Wall Street, or finds a job in an accounting firm, there will be no problem. too big.

Ruan Erniu didn't show any intention of being merciful, he dunked inside, made a mid-range pull-up, made a long-range three-point shot, and faked a layup with a European step.

In the only time they played, Er Niu and Jiong Jisen used their own means to completely detonate the atmosphere of the scene.

But then, the scene where the audience jumped their feet appeared.

Here Woodson replaced Ruan Erniu, and Scott also replaced Paul over there.

No matter how the audience called Erniu's name, Woodson, a wooden man, was indifferent and had no intention of replacing Erniu for a few minutes.

He had asked the Chinese people long before the game, and Er Niu said he would obey the head coach's arrangement.

That being the case, how could Woodson let Er Niu play longer in such an innocuous game.

But if you really want to say that Dantou is unreasonable, it seems that this is not the case, because he gave Sun Yue more playing time. Like Erniu, he is also a player of the Celestial Dynasty, so he should be sought after by the audience, right?
The egg head is wrong again!

"Shh!!!"

"I can score goals now? Where did the Asian Championships go?"

"Just think about yourself, have you ever thought about the country?"

"Where's your apology? You were the only one who snickered among the three and didn't come out to speak."

……

Of course, this was not the sound of the entire audience, but the boos mixed with the cheers still made people feel very harsh.

The lunar eclipse next to Erniu asked puzzledly: "Has Devin Brown, who is playing against Sun, done anything bad in China? Why are there so many fans booing him?"

Ruan Erniu: "..."

Erniu didn't know how to answer this question, because the fans booed not Brown, but Sun Yue.

Fortunately, Sun Yue himself was not affected too much. After all, he was not the first scoring point on the field.

The audience quickly focused more attention on Jamal Crawford, who was attacking wildly on the court.

Take a step outside the three-point line, feint, and take off with your arms.

"Snapped!"

While making a foul, he threw the basketball in his hand towards the basket.

"brush!"

The undisputed 3+1, this is Jamal Crawford, when you have been guarding against his fancy breakthrough, he will use super realistic fake moves to trick the opponent around, and then score 3+1.

From the perspective of scoring 4 points alone, Jamal Crawford has no rivals among active players.

Even in the historical record, he is only behind Reggie Miller's 24 times. I believe that once the 09-10 season is over, Reggie Miller's record will be difficult to maintain.

In the next half of the game, the performance of the two teams was not much different from the previous game. The Hawks once again ended the half with a big lead.

Scott also seemed to have made some adjustments. At the beginning of the second half, Paul made pick-and-roll cooperation with David West many times. David West hit consecutive jumpers from 17 feet to help the Hornets accelerate their pursuit of points.

However, Er Niu and Jiong Jisen seemed to have insufficient fighting spirit after the start of the second half. It seemed that winning or losing at this level could no longer mobilize their emotions.

Fortunately, Bibby and Lunar Eclipse stood up at this time. The two made continuous pick-and-roll cooperation, and staged a beautiful pass-cut cooperation and lobbing.

Salmons, who was not robbed of the main position by Crawford, was not idle either. He scored consecutive three-pointers, not only recovering the score, but also quickly expanding the lead.

This is the strength of the Atlanta people. There is always someone who can stand up and supplement the team's offensive firepower.

After all, the Eagles with 73 wins have a solid background. With this season, the team's lineup has been further strengthened. Even if Erniu and Jiongsen occasionally perform abnormally, this team has enough capable players to stand up and take over. Contest.

In the final quarter of the game, Patrick Mills with a good mentality also got a lot of playing time.

Under his needlework, the Eagles played beautiful team basketball and took the game away with a smooth wave.

In the contest between substitutes and substitutes, the Hawks crushed the Hornets in all directions, and the New Orleans were powerless to fight back.

At 135:97, the Eagles almost staged a 40+ massacre. Even if it was just a preseason game, the dignified expressions of Scott and Paul after the game can also explain the problem.

This is not the performance and game state that the team that still won the second place in the Western Conference the previous season should have.

The performance of the Hornets in the new season is worrisome, while the Atlanta Hawks, who are destined to be enemies of the entire league, continue to walk on the road of establishing a dynasty.

Ruan Erniu said in an interview after the game: "According to the United States, we are walking the most difficult road, but after walking this road, we will reap the sweetest fruit."
