Play with your brain

Chapter 445
"DE-FENCE! DE-FENCE!..." The Hornets fans still built the home court in full swing.

The Mavericks are attacking under such circumstances. It is impossible to say that they will not be affected, but after all, after playing so many games, the problem is still not big.

With a snap, Dampier took the ball inside. As the former 'No. [-] Center in the West', Eric wanted to prove himself, so he started playing back.

Bang bang... However, his opponent, Hilton Armstrong, is not afraid of him very much now. He has played against him many times, and the Hornets' backup center already understands what is going on with the No. [-] player in the Western Conference.

"Oh oh oh..." the fans started booing because Dampier didn't squeeze out a good position.

Pass the ball, hand to hand!

Fortunately, Dampier is not so brainless now. To be honest, he is also more aware of his status in the team. In order to get a decent contract, he needs to show himself that he can play.

It was Barea who received the ball. As a small player, his role in the interior is of course very small, but he can pass the ball.

Hey, the veteran Howard caught the ball. His running position is very smart, and he catches the ball in the middle distance. There is almost no defense in this kind of place.

Swish, two points hit!

"Shhhhhh..." The fans have found a new partner, and this old guy can't let it go.

"A good goal! Once the goal is scored, the first quarter is over. Oh, it's time. Yes, the Mavericks played very well in the first quarter of the away game, and they are not behind by a few points..." Teacher Zhang's side expressed optimism.

"Well, indeed..." Yu Jia also quite agreed.

In the TV screen, the first quarter of the game has ended, 22 to 26, and the Mavericks trailed the Hornets by 4 points in the first quarter.

"Played very well!" "Good!" "We will win!"... The players of the Mavericks are encouraging each other. Although they are behind, this lag is not enough to destroy their confidence.

"I'm behind, but this is just the beginning. Maybe we didn't have a good start, but I believe we will have a wonderful ending..." Carlisle was doing what he should do to boost everyone's morale.

This "tie-break" is very different from the previous ones. I don't know why, the Hornets let Paul come over to challenge Lao Hu from the very beginning. This is something Lao Hu still can't figure out.

Paul took the initiative to find Lao Hu and take the initiative to compete. This is a relatively unconventional approach.Faced with the opponent's active challenge, Lao Hu did not respond directly as before. He used his own passing and running to organize the attack.

It's not that he's cowardly, the opponent is his friend, so there's really no question of whether he's cowardly or not.The key is that Lao Hu thinks this is the most critical game at present. If he wants to win this game, he must rely on his teammates and his own team.

However, this also created a problem. Lao Hu's "reasonable basketball" style of play made the Hornets very arrogant, and their fans were even higher, because they felt that Hu Lin was counseled.

Judging from Paul's expression, there was nothing wrong with it, but it really felt more like Byron Scott's instruction.Because the head coach of the Hornets didn't have any extra thoughts on this. Although his expression was not smug, he didn't express too much.

"What is the opponent thinking? So what if I beat me?" Lao Hu really didn't know, he really couldn't figure out why Scott wanted to do this for Mao.

Time will not stop because of Lao Hu's confusion, and the second quarter will start immediately.

Of course, at the beginning of the second quarter, Lao Hu still watched the game, and he still had time to figure out what the opponent's purpose was.

However, this time is only more than 3 minutes, because this time Carlisle is not going to use his substitute to deal with the main force of the Hornets.

The reason is very simple, this is the seventh game, and Carlisle can't afford to lose.

Back on the field again, no surprise, Lao Hu met his old friend, Paul again.

This time it was the Mavericks attacking. Logically speaking, Paul would not be able to take advantage of it when defending, but Scott did not respond at all. This must be his instruction.

So what should be done?
Whoosh!Lao Hu chose to pass the ball.

Persuaded?

"Oh ho ho ho!..." Anyway, no matter what Lao Hu thinks, the fans think so.

However, Lao Hu's pass was still quite in place. Lao Li caught the ball in the middle distance. After a shot fake, Lao Li let West fly, and then he went to the basket, before Chandler came out Throw the basketball into the sky.

Kuang Ang!Nowitzki re-dunk succeeded!
"Shhhhhh..." The fans who had just finished their joy immediately booed again.

Cowardly?Lao Hu didn't think so, he just did what he should do.

Moreover, after returning, Lao Hu took the initiative to find Paul, and the two started another round of confrontation.

Shaking, shaking, Paul is not like Lao Hu, this guy is very concerned about this duel, his shaking is very realistic, his ankles are constantly exerting force, and his whole body is constantly changing the direction of breakthrough.

It is indeed very powerful, but Lao Hu's countermeasure is also very simple, that is, to retreat.

To be honest, he was a bit timid, but Lao Hu felt that his defense was good.

Bang bang bang, another crossover and then Paul steps back immediately, and he gets the shot.

Swish!Lao Hu once again covered his old friend's face, but this time, he still failed to prevent his old friend from scoring.

"Oh ho ho!..." The fans went crazy again, they felt that their Paul had defeated the Chinese.

"Hehe..." Lao Hu smiled slightly, because Paul bared his teeth again, there was nothing to say, it was indeed a good shot.

"This ball is good, Paul is really determined, confident, too determined." Teacher Zhang also thinks that Paul seems to have won.

"Hu Lin didn't guard against it. It doesn't feel good. I can't say it, but it feels like something is wrong." Yu Jia now followed the feeling.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just that Lao Hu's current performance is defeated by Paul.

However, Lao Hu will come again soon, this is an opportunity for him to prove himself to others, how will Lao Hu choose?

Whoosh, another pass!

"Shhhhhh..." At this moment, almost everyone could see that the Chinese seemed to be really cowardly, and the people of New Orleans were all booing and being happy at the same time. This is simply amazing.

However, although Lao Hu was terrified, the Mavericks' offense was not terrified. It was Nowitzki who received the pass from Hulin. Double-teamed the ball to the outside, Terry hit a three-pointer.

31 to 33, the Mavericks are only two points behind the Hornets. It seems that the Mavericks have not been affected by Hu Lin's counseling.

"It's a good shot. The Mavericks have cooperated well. If we continue to play like this, we will have a chance." Teacher Zhang is full of expectations for the next game, but the reality is just the opposite.

Paul found Lao Hu again, but this time he missed his shot. Chandler got the rebound in the scramble for the basket, but the Hornets who organized the attack again still failed to make a hit, and West's shot also failed.

From the perspective of the Hornets, although Paul has the upper hand, he cannot always vote.

The Mavericks counterattacked immediately, and the old Huma who quickly advanced to the frontcourt passed the ball. Terry seized the opportunity from the outside and shot the ball as soon as he caught it. Unfortunately, the ball missed.The offense was very fast this time, and it took the Mavericks only 5 seconds from the backcourt to the frontcourt to the shot.

Next, both sides started to play fast, but maybe because of nervousness or other reasons, everyone's hit rate was not very high, and the scene was very chaotic.

It's normal to play fast, and it's easy to mess up. But after 2 minutes, the head coach of the Hornets called a timeout. He didn't seem to want this phenomenon to continue.

32 to 36, the Mavericks were still 4 points behind their opponents, and the only point they got was a free throw made by Lao Hu who cut in during the fast break. As a result, this guy made one of two free throws.

This is a rather strange timeout, because from the point of view of the scene, the Hornets are actually not at a disadvantage, and their score is still leading. On the contrary, the Mavericks are worse, but it is still the timeout called by Byron Scott .

"Let's see how the Hornets will play after this timeout, and will they make another substitution." Mr. Zhang has a good memory, and this year's best coach always likes to replace his substitute lineup to make up for it.

"It shouldn't be possible, it's the seventh game anyway." Yu Jia thinks that the best coach should have a certain integrity.

"It's hard to say, let's take a look, hehe..." Teacher Zhang was actually mainly joking, because no one could do that at this time.

Sure enough, the two sides still had the original lineup, nothing changed, and I don't know what the head coach of the Hornets said. Anyway, he needs a timeout.

But soon, Lao Hu understood that this timeout was to slow down his team.

The tempo just now was too fast, the Hornets need to slow down the game, otherwise that tempo belongs to the Mavericks, although they haven't performed very well for the time being.

As for why they played so fast, it was actually because of the Hornets' tactic, which was to let Paul go against Hu Lin. You must know that the war between the two people, no matter how much ink is stained, it is often easy to separate the results, not to mention Lao Hu is very straightforward. Every time he retreats and gives Paul a chance to shoot, the attack time will of course become very fast.

But this time is different, Paul began to organize the offense.

The two were still facing each other, and Hu took the initiative to defend Paul, which was approved by Carlisle. Moreover, Carlisle felt that Hu defended well, and he gave Hu a lot of encouragement just now.

The main reason is actually in the defense against breakthroughs. As long as Paul can't break through, then the ball will be easy to handle.

Unexpectedly, Lao Hu was cowardly, and he was really cowardly, no one else cared, anyway, Carlisle thought he was right.

　Hey, Thunder, it turns out that the counterattack of hanging silk this time fell on the Grizzly Bear, which is really surprising, but the Grizzly Bear's strength is quite good, especially after sending away the boy, he went one step further ah.It just made the data man Randolph happy, hey.
