Chapter 331 The Craziness of the Hornets
Chapter 119 The Hornets' Madness
Gasol's decision is undoubtedly very wrong.

Chandler turned a blind eye to Gasol's supplementary defense, and directly pulled it up from the ground abruptly, like a rocket flying up, with a domineering momentum...

With a loud bang, Chandler gave all his strength to the basketball. He dunked the ball hard with his right hand, and dunked the basketball in his hand hard into the basket.

Chandler completely regards the home of the Memphis Grizzlies as his own.But that's what the Hornets want to see.Chandler, who has been down for several games, has also returned.

After Chandler successfully dunked, he felt that he was not very happy. He yelled into the sky a few times, and at the same time, tensed the muscles in his hands.

The Grizzlies attack!
Flying Squirrel dribbled the ball across half court and organized an attack at the top of the three-point arc, and Mike Miller stepped forward to respond.

Mike Miller is Jack's main mark tonight. Jack stepped forward and made a tight defense against Mike Miller.

Mike Miller is a well-known swingman in the league. In the 05-06 season, Mike Miller also won the title of the best sixth man.

Although Mike Miller played the role of the sixth man, his playing time was not at all less than that of the main starters.

Most of Mike Miller's offense is concentrated on the outside. He is a well-known pitcher in the league. He has a 40% three-point shooting percentage in his career, and he is gorgeous.The two-point jumper is accurate and reassuring.The breakthrough is not bad, sometimes he is quite passionate, and he has the performance of passionate slam dunk in fast break.But after all, he is a role player and lacks a perverted nirvana. In the offense, he must rely on the strength of the whole to exert its maximum power.
Mike Miller's physical condition is above average among whites. His height of 2 meters is more than enough to play as an offensive guard. His body is not bad, his speed is average, and his explosive power is average. He is particularly afraid. Generally speaking, his defense can only be considered a pass.

Mike Miller is also a person who plays basketball with his brain, his style of play is selfless, and his passing is also very efficient.

However, compared with Jack, all of his things are really far behind.

However, Jack faced such a basketball player who was much weaker than himself.He didn't underestimate him at all.Never underestimate any opponent who is weaker than himself, this is Jack's consistent style.

Faced with Jack's pressing defense, Mike Miller couldn't move at all.Mike Miller only passed the basketball in his hand.

Gasol responded at the top of the two-point arc, Gasol made a mid-range shot, and with a bang, the basketball hit the net.

More than half of the first quarter passed, and the score between the two sides still could not be opened.

Even though both sides have made substitution adjustments, the form on the field still hasn't changed much.

At the end of the first quarter, Jack scored 8 points in a single quarter and also sent 4 assists.At the same time, Jack also grabbed 4 rebounds by using his aggressive fighting.

After the first quarter, the Hornets were still 32 to 36, leading by 4 points in the away game by the Grizzlies.

The second quarter started, and the two sides began to enter the rotation time.During the period when the Hornets' substitute was on the court, the Grizzlies took advantage of this period of time. Under the leadership of Paul Gasol, the Grizzlies played less than 3 minutes in the second quarter. The Bears played a 12-0 spurt.

The Grizzlies directly expanded the point difference between the two sides to 16 points.

Byron Scott saw that the form on the court was not good.They quickly replaced all the main players on the field.

Jack continued to play the role of point guard, and Jack quickly dribbled forward.

Even though Jack was 16 points behind, Jack still played very patiently.Jack put the main energy completely on organizing the team's offense.

However, the effect of Jack's doing so was not very good.

After Jack broke through the ball, Mike Miller slammed out of it, slapped the ball, and broke the ball with a "snap".Mike Miller himself pushed the broken ball forward at high speed, and he wanted to finish this attack with a one-stop dribble.

Standing behind the ball, Jack saw that he had made a mistake, so Jack turned around and chased after Mike Miller.

Mike Miller, who was advancing at high speed, stepped on the free throw line in an instant, stepped to a sudden stop, bent his knees, and kicked his body further directly from the ground at the free throw line. stand up.Wanted to end this offense with a low-handed layup.However, he was too naive.

Jack, who was chasing after him, had already been waiting behind Miller for a long time.Looking at Mike Miller who was already flying in the air, Jack couldn't help showing a sneer, and said in his heart: Mike Miller, you can't blame me, you can only blame you for being too naive.

Jack bent his knees and kicked the ground. The muscles on his calf were completely tense, and the strength burst out from his calf. Jack flew towards Mike Miller like a hungry wolf pounced on a rabbit.

Mike Miller, who was taking off, felt something was wrong. He felt the pressure behind him multiply, his head turned around unconsciously, and his face turned completely white all of a sudden.I couldn't help exclaiming in my heart: When did he appear there?
However, when Mike Miller realized it, it was too late.The basketball thrown by Mike Miller was confiscated by Jack in the air.

"Yeah..." Even though this is not the home court of the Hornets, the fans at the scene still exclaimed loudly for Jack's wonderful block this time.

"Jack...K!" The dj at the scene also deliberately lengthened the name Jack.

Hornets attack!
Jack dribbled the ball at the top of the three-point arc to organize the offense. Jack and Chandler's pick-and-roll cooperation, after these few days of running-in, Chandler and Jack's pick-and-roll has improved significantly compared to before. Jack dribbled and broke through. , Chandler's dismantling after blocking is also very timely.

Jack got double-teamed at the rim, and Chandler got the ball out right away.After Chandler received the ball, he got up straight and made a dunk under the basket with powerful hands.

Taking turns to attack, after the little flying mouse dribbled the ball for half court, the little flying mouse handed the ball to Mike Miller.

Jack bent his waist and pouted his buttocks to follow Mike Miller. Jack's eyes were fixed on the basketball in Miller's hand all the time, ready to fly out and steal the ball.At the same time, the mouth of the interface was still chattering: "Mike, I will teach you a good lesson today. I want you to know what is the top defense in the league."

When Mike Miller was slapped by Jack just now, Miller was already very upset with Jack.Now I heard Jack tease himself with words, how could he bear it.Mike Miller said angrily: "Rookie, don't underestimate people, I will let you know that you are wrong."

"Hey, Mike, you're wrong. I'm not underestimating you. What I said is completely true. I dare say, you are under my defense, and I will let your shots not even touch the edge of the rim .” Jack continued to increase the weight of his words.

Mike Miller was furious, but at this time, Paul Gasol, who had already been stuck inside, asked him for the ball.Mac Miller, who was being fed by Jack, had also come to his senses.

Immediately handed over the basketball in his hand to the hands of Paul Gasol, who had already successfully stuck in the basket.

Pau Gasol tricks David West with a swing fake, and then hits a half-hook shot at the rim.With a bang, the basketball hit the net.

In the second half of the second quarter, even though, the Hornets still failed to narrow the score.

"Beep..." The long whistle sounded, and the second quarter ended. The score between the two sides was still 16 points, 43 to 59, and the Hornets were 16 points behind.

Throughout the second quarter, Jack focused on organizing offense.However, the effect of Jack's doing this is not very obvious.

In the second quarter, Jack made 3 straight shots, but he hit 2 goals and scored 4 points.

Under Jack's organization, the Hornets had a chance, but no matter how the Hornets shot, they didn't make it.There was nothing Jack could do about it.

The second half of the game started. Jack looked at the glaring score on the scoreboard. The murderous intent on Jack's face was stronger than in the first quarter just now. The monstrous anger filled his entire eyeballs...

This time Jack is really going crazy!

Jack didn't care whether he was playing a guard or not this time. After Jack dribbled the ball for half the court, he immediately handed the ball to Butler who came to meet him.

After that, Jack immediately asked for the ball in the low post, "I will teach this kid an unforgettable lesson!" Jack sneered, he didn't even look at Mike Miller, who was squatting in front of him and staring at him, and got up directly to fight for his life.

"Jack!!" DJ's excited roar led to the cheers of the audience. Mike Miller looked at Jack with a cold face in frustration, while cursing Jack inwardly.He was also secretly marveling at Jack.I thought: Is Jack really a non-draft player?A basketball player who is completely comparable to Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, why didn't anyone discover it before the draft?

Mike Miller felt that defending Jack was really a very painful thing at this time.

Moreover, this pain seems to have just begun, and it is far from over.

Pau Gasol serves from the baseline, Grizzlies point guard Momonga encounters a tight defense at the basket, and Mike Miller steps forward to respond.

However, when he saw the basketball being passed, he reflexively stretched out his hand to catch the ball, but a black figure stretched out his hand faster than him.

"MyGod! It's Jack again!" The DJ at the scene rang Jack's name.

Jack dodges in front of Miller and intercepts the ball ahead of time. While there is no one in front of him, he makes a big stride forward, then stops suddenly, and makes a mid-range shot.

With the whistling sound of breaking through the air, the basketball hit the hoop again precisely like a guided missile.

"Brilliant steal, decisive shot!" Byron stood up and shouted excitedly, ignoring his coach's restraint.

Chandler and David West also looked at each other excitedly, and Jack gave them too much shock and hope.Maybe I can really get that ring this year, David West thought silently looking at Jack's tall and straight body.

Jack's continuous wonderful performances were played repeatedly on the screen in the gymnasium. The audience could clearly see White's amazing judgment and super explosive power. Looking at Jack's cold eyes and calm expression on the screen, everyone could feel it. His great confidence.

"Man, since Jordan retired, I finally found a reason to watch the game. He is the only basketball player I've ever seen who can match Jordan." A fat man in a red shirt shouted excitedly to his friends.

His friend said in astonishment: "Hey, Alan, who do you think is the best? Alan, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't forget which team's home court is here."

Allen took a look at his good friend wearing a Grizzlies Pau Gasol T-shirt, and that fat fan knew he was wrong.Therefore, he chose to keep silent next.

Jack's wonderful performance also conquered the audience, and some neutral fans also began to turn around to support the Hornets with Jack.

The Grizzlies have the ball.

Little Momonga handed the ball to Mike Miller who came forward to meet him. After Mike Miller received the ball, he was still facing Jack's defense, and Jack stepped forward to press the defense.

Jack's anti-loose Miller, Jack not only has the advantages of height, speed, and strength.Among them, the most important point is Jack's slender wingspan.

Therefore, this caused Mike Miller not to dare to dribble easily in front of Jack.

Although Mac Miller was really upset with Jack, he couldn't speak in front of his strength.

Faced with Jack's oppressive defense, Mike Miller had no choice but to pass the ball.

The basketball has spent enough time in Miller's hands.When Mike Miller passed the ball, there was not much left in the 24-second attack time.

When Pau Gasol received the ball, there were only 2 seconds left on the on-site monitor.After Gasol got the ball, he directly raised his hand and threw it. With a sound of "washing", Pau Gasol threw a bread.

Chandler controlled the rebound, and Jack stepped forward to catch it. Jack quickly dribbled the ball through the half court, and was still facing Mike Miller's defense. Jack stared at Mike Miller a few times, He raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey! Mike Miller, do you think I'll break through from your side?"

Mike Miller just calmed down his anger and now he is even more out of touch. Anyway, he is also a senior who has been in the NBA for several years. Now he is teased by a rookie. The key is that this rookie is still a rookie who has not been drafted. He grinned grinningly and said, "Boy, you——"

Chandler pouted his butt, and the misplaced Pau Gasol fell backwards. Jack flicked his wrist, and the basketball flew directly into his hands. Chandler jumped up from the ground with a roar. The basketball in his hand was slammed into the hoop.

"I didn't want to break through." Jack laughed loudly, not giving Mike Miller a chance to get angry, he turned and ran away.

The little flying mouse used Gasol's body to make a cover to get rid of Butler's defense. The little flying mouse hit the ball to Paul Gasol, and Jack next to Mike Miller flew out of it, a thunderbolt With the momentum of the ears, he grabbed the basketball ahead of time and succeeded in fast break again.

The Grizzlies also became a mess because of Jack's steal this time.The center of the Grizzlies and Pau Gasol blamed each other. The coach of the Grizzlies called a timeout again when he saw that things were not good. .

Playing again, the Grizzlies, who had no fighting spirit, were no match for the Hornets. Paul Gasol finally held his breath and successfully punched David West. Unfortunately, he was hit by a Butler's foul, two free throws and two free throws, finally opened up the scoring momentum.

Jack had no opponents on the field, and the only one who could cause trouble for his offense was David West, his teammate. Peja and others were happy to see it, and they all opened up their defenses to create opportunities for Jack to play singles.

Jack turned into a bomber again, and the inside and outside lines of the Grizzlies were bombed inhumanely.

The Hornets took advantage of this period of time to play a 20-0 spurt and directly overtake the score.

The whistle of "beep..." ends the third quarter.

After three quarters, the score of the two sides came to 70 to 66, and the difference between the two sides came to 4 points.

After three quarters, Jack Jack made 20 of 13 shots. Jack scored 34 points after three quarters and also sent 7 assists.Become the key figure for the Hornets to successfully overtake the score.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Byron Scott planned to strike while the iron was hot. Byron Scott wanted to take advantage of the Hornets' very strong chasing momentum to further open the score.

Grizzlies possession of the ball!

The pick-and-roll cooperation between Flying Squirrel and Pau Gasol, and the return pass of Flying Squirrel was intercepted by Jack.

After stealing the ball, Jack saw the Grizzlies players who would defend him, and Jack dribbled the ball to control the rhythm.

This time, the Grizzlies adopted a double-team defensive strategy for Jack's defense.Even, Jack's three-point shooting ability has not yet been developed.

However, the Grizzlies' defense against Jack has already mentioned the three-point line.

Jack dribbled the ball and ran at a 45-degree angle from the three-point line. Mike Miller and others immediately covered it.

"Interesting?" Jack said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Just as the encirclement circle formed for Jack, Jack pulled his waist and abdomen back and suddenly stopped his progress, and the basketball was thrown far out of the three-point line by him.

Peja Stockovic, received the ball, took off from outside the three-point line, and made a shot. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the basketball rolled straight towards the basket with a "swipe" sound , The basketball smashed directly into the basket, and the basketball stirred up a layer of gorgeous waves on the basket.
