Defending champion

Chapter 313 The crisis of the lack of wasp brains

Chapter 1 and Chapter [-]: The Crisis of the Missing Wasp Brain
"Yeah..." The audience at the scene once again let out a big exclamation.

The coach of the Rockets saw that Jack scored so easily under the basket. "What are you doing?" Adelman roared loudly. "A bunch of bastards!" Adelman roared loudly, regardless of his image.

However, as the person involved, Hayes shook his head helplessly.There was a helpless wry smile on his face, he had nothing to do to defend Jack.Whether it is height, strength or speed, Jack is completely above him.You asked him to defend Jack alone under the basket, do you think it is possible to defend him?Adelman requested a timeout.

"Defense, defend, defend, guys, you guys have to do a good job of defending me. Defense is the most important thing..." As soon as the Rockets players returned to the bench, Adelman immediately came over to the Hornets with the scoreboard Team players spit stars.

"Jack, you must do a good job of defense on this point. I will stop his scoring at all costs. The Hornets without Paul are just Jack's players, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Hayes , Tracy, Mutombo...as long as he gets the ball at the basket, you have to stop him at all costs, stop his offense, definitely stop him from attacking!" Adelman clenched his fists, facing All the Hornets players shouted angrily.

"Tracey, your main task is to attack. Use your ability to tear the defense of the Hornets penalty area and make Jack's foul. I will not let him last the whole game. A one-man player is really easy to deal with." Adelman said harshly.

"I know the coach." McGrady rubbed their sleepy eyes and replied lazily.Although Jack's status in the league is rising steadily, he has not yet reached the point where the top basketball superstars in the league like McGrady look up to him.

…………

On the side of the Hornets, because Paul's injury is unknown, the Hornets' bench gloom hangs over the Hornets' bench.

Paul's injury is really a very difficult thing for the Hornets.Because 90% of the Hornets' offenses are initiated from Paul, Paul's role is as important as the human brain's role to people.The Hornets without Paul, at this time, are like flies that lost their heads.

"Mason, you take Paul's place. Your main job is to move the ball forward and get the ball into Jack's hands. Let Jack figure things out. Byron Scott hasn't recovered from losing Paul came out of this fact. The only tactic he can use now is to hand the ball into Jack's hands and let Jack play singles.

…………

After Byron Scott completed the last tactical arrangement. "Beep..." The referee blew the whistle to end the timeout.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Rockets let the Hornets see what is called a suffocating defense. Everyone, almost all the audience felt their madness.

Mason, the backup point guard of the Hornets who replaced Paul, could hardly catch the ball under the impregnable defense of the Rockets.Because no matter what time it is, you will find that there is always a person behind you who is tireless and crazy, sticking behind you, as if he has combined you and him into a conjoined body!
Terrible and crazy defense!
Jack at the basket, regardless of whether Jack has the ball in his hand or not.The Rockets players had no intention of letting Jack go like this.Hayes was always staring at Jack, and McGrady, who was helping to defend him, seemed to be about to pounce at any time.Jack didn't get a chance for the team at all in the low post.

Mason managed to catch the ball, but, under the pressure of the Rockets, he simply didn't have time to organize the offense.

"Beep..." The Hornets were defended for 24 seconds.

Byron Scott, who was on the sidelines, also shook his head helplessly.Sighing deeply, he could only pray in his heart that Paul would be fine.

"Difficult, it's really too difficult." There is no comparison between Mason and Paul. Under the pressure of the Rockets players, Mason has a little difficulty in getting rid of it.Not to mention organizing an attack.Therefore, many of the tactics of the Hornets, they simply have no way to play.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Hornets' offense was stronger than when Paul was there.It was obviously not smooth, and the offense stagnated for a while.

The Rockets took advantage of this opportunity, and under the leadership of Tracy McGrady, the Rockets played a 12-0 spurt.At the end of the first half, the score was overtaken by 8 points.

After halftime, the score between the two sides was 45 to 53.

In this section of the game, except for that dunk, Jack.Jack didn't get any chance to attack at all.So at the end of halftime, Jack only scored 8 points, and neither of them scored.Jack's performance like this is completely below the previous standard.

Even though Jack didn't get any points after Paul went off the field.However, there was still a lot of sweat on Jack's face and forehead.It can be seen that the Rockets have spent a lot of money on Jack's defense.

At the end of halftime, Jack walked directly into the team's locker room without saying a word.Even the sweat beads on his face have not come to wipe off.He was eager to know about Paul's condition and what it was like now.

Because, if the rapid development of the previous life is followed, Paul will not return until the end of the season when he is injured this time.The Hornets also missed the playoffs this season because of the lack of Paul.

This kind of situation is undoubtedly the last thing Jack wants to see.

…………

In the locker room of the Hornets, the assistant coach of the Hornets held a piece of paper in his hand. He said to the dozen or so people in the locker room, "As Paul's teammates, I think I should Let you know in time. Paul's injury is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Paul will not be able to come back for this game. And the final result of his illness needs to be checked after the game to know the final result. However, we have to be prepared to be without Paul for a while."

After hearing Eddie Jordan's words, the locker room, which had been very quiet just now, became even quieter now.The Hornets players fell silent for a while.Even Byron Scott is no exception.

In Byron Scott's tactical system, he places great emphasis on the role of the defender.In other words, his tactical strategy must be able to be resolutely implemented with an excellent point guard.

In view of the clumsy performance of Hornets substitute Mason just now, Byron Scott can only sigh with emotion now: Hornets point guards are scarce!

Hearing that Paul's injury might worsen, Jack frowned tightly, thinking: Paul was injured in the 07 season, but it doesn't seem to be now, right?Could it be that Paul's injury was brought forward because of my crossing?Will the Hornets miss the playoffs this season?
During the 15-minute break at halftime, half the silence was spent.The Hornets can only arrange tactics half the time.

"Paul's injury is bad news for himself or the Hornets. However, the game must continue. Whether it is for Paul or others, we cannot lose this game, absolutely not ? I want those guys to see how powerful we are." Byron Scott gritted his teeth and said viciously.

"Mason, don't be nervous when you get on top of Paul. Your main task is to dribble the ball safely across the half court, then hand the ball into Jack's hands, and let Jack solve the problem. Do you understand?" After speaking, Byron Scott continued.

"Tyson, protect the rebound for me..."

…………

"Judging from the current form, Chris Paul will not be able to play in the second half. I don't think Paul's substitute, Mason, has the strength to challenge Alstom." Kenny Smith spoke.

"Paul is injured, this is indeed very bad news for the Hornets. I am here to pray that Paul's injury is not as serious as imagined. As a basketball player, I know the impact of injuries on a basketball player. I hope he is safe!" Charles Barkley said solemnly.

"Everyone who has watched the Hornets game knows that Paul is the brain of the Hornets' tactical execution. The Hornets' tactics without Paul are really very poor. The best illustration is that they were beaten 12-0 in the last half of the second quarter. Even though we don't want to admit it, we know that the Hornets will definitely lose this game." Kenny Smith said.

"No, no, no, Kenny has been with you for so long, and I've become more and more aware that what you say sounds like fart, fart!" Charles Barkley cursed mercilessly.

"Don't you think so? You did this only because you stood at a different angle. In fact, you know it very well in your heart." Kenny Smith was also very upset that Charles Barkley scolded himself like that.

…………

With Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith chattering away, the second half began.

The Hornets have the ball, the Hornets take the lead in attacking!

In the second half, Jack's desire to attack was very strong. In the beginning, Jack stuck Hayes tightly under the basket.

Adelman at the beginning of the second half, they do not intend to start with a three-person pinch Jack method.

Therefore, Jack got Paul's pass in the low position without much effort. The moment Jack received Mason's pass, he turned around suddenly, and suddenly, he carried the defender Hayes behind him to the side. .Then he slapped the basketball vigorously with both hands, took advantage of the inertia, straddled his feet, stepped into the basket on the right side, jumped up, held the ball with both hands and raised it high, with an obvious slam dunk movement.

Jack rose from the ground like a rocket, and with a sound of "whoosh...", Jack flew into the air in an instant with his excellent bounce, his eyes were almost looking at the basket, and his hands were like thunder, "Boom!" " With a loud noise, the basket was shaking left and right.

With a bang, the dark clouds hanging over New Orleans were driven away by Jack with this dunk.
