412 The Death of the Commander (Xie Baoge, the leader of the alliance)
The third week of the game started, and the Warriors' schedules were relatively loose in the first two weeks. There was only one game in two to three days, so they could get enough rest, but they had to play four games this week, and the field began to become urgent in the future.
This Warriors Zhou not only has a tight schedule, but also has a strong opponent. The first one is the rising star Hornets in the West now.
The Hornets performed dull in a few seasons after joining the NHAO in 196. They were the bottom team in the league. Anyone who saw them could beat them. But in 1999, the Hornets turned over through the draft, and they got the aunt Larry Johnson and the active first tough guy Arenzo Mooning. These two outstanding inside players helped the Hornets enter the playoffs in their sixth season in NHAR.
Entering the 21st century, the Hornets continued to compete. In 2011, they were only one step away from the Eastern Conference Finals. At that time, the Hornets' leader was Byron Davis, the Warriors' boss when Chamberlain first came. This guy was no longer so powerful when he was with the Warriors. When he was with the Hornets, he scored a triple-double record in two consecutive games in the playoffs, which was the fifth man in NHA history.
Later, in the summer of 204, the Hornets moved to New Orleans. At the beginning, everything went wrong, the lineup was broken, leading the team leader ran away, and encountered the terrifying Hurricane Katerina, causing the performance to decline. However, after getting magic point guard Chris Paul in 205, the Hornets began to make a comeback, especially last season, when the Hornets led the team to maintain the second place in the Western Conference, and were not traded to Gasol until the last moment to third place. That season, Paul was the second-ranked figure in the M rankings.
Although they failed to reach the Western Conference Finals last season, the Hornets had already seen hope, so this summer they signed James Percy to enhance their defense and playoff experience and prepare to embark on their championship journey in the new season.
Speaking of the Warriors' uniform group's summer actions are really unsatisfactory. They did not strengthen the team, but chose three rookies. Their important substitutes on the outside, Pitrus and Chamberlain's substitutes, O'Brient, went far away. What's worse is that the main scoring point Monta Ellis was suspended for 10 games due to injury in the motorcycle incident. However, these are not big deals, because the Warriors scored five wins and one loss at the beginning of the game, and so far, only the Lakers, who have won all the money, are suppressing them.
The Hornets have played seven games, and have won five wins and two losses so far, ranking third in the West. If they can win today, they can enter second in the West.
Paul just was elected the best Western Conference Week, and his physical condition and competitive level were excellent. Chamberlain was the best Western Conference Week in the first week. Two people were defending and the center. This game can provide an argument for the disputes outside: whether a good defender will help the team or a good center will help the team.
Chamberlain is full of confidence. Isn’t it easy and happy to beat a Hornet? 8FY.
The Hornets' starting lineup is: center Tyson Chandler, power forward David West, small forward Peja, organizational defender Paul, and the shooting guard is the newly introduced old defender James Percy.
The Warriors' starting lineup is: center Chamberlain, power forward Ibaka, small forward Jackson, organizational defender Billups, and shooting guard West.
Both teams are remarkable. Chandler cooperates with West in the inside line. One of them is the main defense and the other is the main attacker. They can also rank in the penalty area of the league together, so that they can defeat Chamberlain. The Warriors' defender is Billups, and he is also an excellent point guard. Although he is not as good as Paul now, it is at least enough.
At the beginning of the first quarter, Chandler was determined to win a sigh of relief for Paul. When he jumped the ball, he defeated Chamberlain and grabbed the ball. Paul held the ball and broke through. Billups retreated to defend. Paul quickly made a big cross-direction change. Billups made excellent defense and blocked it with one step. But at this moment, Billups, who had crossed a step, suddenly slipped, and Paul took the opportunity to break through and score a jump shot immediately.
This game was played at the Oracle Center Arena at the Warriors' home court. The home team fans were cheering, and there were many beauties watching: the Warriors' top star fans Jessica Helba, Ivanka, etc. Seeing Billups slipping by himself, Chamberlain ran over with a smile and said, "Hey, brother, isn't it embarrassing?"
He wanted to pull Billups up, but he found something was wrong. Billups held his right ankle and his face was full of pain. His dark face turned pale and his dark face turned pale.
Chamberlain's heart immediately jumped up, and he half-kneeled in anxiety to Billups and asked, "Changxi, what's wrong with you?"
Bilups tried it and didn't dare to stretch his legs. In just a few seconds, his face was covered with cold sweat. He sucked in the cold air and said painfully: "It seems that he was a sprained ankle. Damn it, my right foot can't move anymore.
Chamberlain hurriedly called a timeout, but Paul stole the ball Ibaka passed by - he also thought Billups was just slipping, so the referee shook his head. According to the NHAR spoon regulations, the Warriors did not have the right to call a timeout now. However, Paul saw that something was wrong, so he directly threw the ball out and the basketball bounced out. Ibaka took the rebound and this was called a timeout.
The team doctor hurriedly went on the court. After seeing Billups' ankle, the two shook their heads at the same time and said to Old Nelson: "The situation is not good, I have to undergo an MRI. Changxi's ankle is not a sprain, it may be a ligament strain."
"Fuck," Old Nelson swears directly, and he's going to stop the game. This is really sad. You know, Billups is the treasure of the Warriors' team. Who can control the game without him?
Chamberlain directly carried Billups out of the stadium, and the fans started to make a noise. They didn't know the specific situation, but knew that the team was going to have problems.
At the end of the timeout, Old Nelson used Curry as a substitute to play. Chamberlain watched Billups disappear into the player's passage while being supported and jumped. He was heartbroken for a while.
Curry was ordered to stand on the court and look at him, asking, "Hi, rookie, did your head coach ask you to fight me?"
Curry asked back, "Are you scared?"
Paul laughed and shook his head and said, "I really don't know if I should praise you, the ignorant is fearless, tell you in advance, I want to get 3fl today."
Curry is actually really scared. If he could, he wanted to pee first: Are you wrong? The opponent is the first point guard in the league. In the game, Nash, who he played against, was not the first point guard, but he lost his face.
Chandler laughed and said, "Rookie, I can testify. Chris is serious. Look at his ankle even his main point guard has been shaken off by him, so you might as well go down quickly."
Chamberlain was very angry when he heard this. Billups was unlucky. Chandler said this as if he was really blown up by Paul.
The Warriors' ball rights, the fans looked at Chamberlain alone in disappointment. Now they are really single-core combat. Except for West, they can also help Chamberlain, and everyone else is used to make up the numbers.
After Curry held the ball, Paul rushed forward. His defense was aggressive and he used his strong body to press Curry and forced the latter to pass the ball.
West started a breakthrough when he got the ball. Billups was not here, but he was the only strong point on the outside.
Chamberlain shouted at him: "Take out your true strength, lessons | these idiots"
Wess nodded, faced Percy's defense, he slightly retreated back, Percy pushed forward, and randomly West's body turned like a cannonball, flew out, and threw away Percy's big stride and made a direct attack on the yellow dragon.
David West went to make up for defense, and the two Wests faced each other. Deronti West hit him without reducing speed, passed the ball with one hit, then turned 360 degrees, and turned around David.
David West only felt a chill under his crotch, and then he heard the sound of a volcanic eruption in the audience. He immediately understood: he was being penetrated.
Yes, Deronti turned around and received the ball after piercing through the crotch, rushed to the basket and faced Chandler and jumped up hard, throwing the ball into the ring accurately.
The attack was extremely coquettish, but Chamberlain shook his head slightly in his heart. If Billups was still there, the ball would be a feint and then pass it to him. Chamberlain had completely thrown away Chandler before, but he saw that West was indeed going to hit the ring, so he turned around and stuck Chandler.
The excellent point guard is that the team has a smart brain. Paul waved his hand to guide his teammates to run. He hit him with his back and walked in with Curry. When West came up to double-team, he quickly passed the ball to Peja. The latter came out with an elegant step-back jump shot from 2 feet away and easily scored two points for the Hornets.
The protagonist of the Warriors in the first quarter was not Chamberlain, but West who suddenly went crazy for some reason. He scored the top 7 points for the Warriors after shooting inside and outside. Peja felt good at the start, and Paul kept breaking through and passing the ball. Peja used his teammates' cover to keep running, and then scored 4 points to help the Hornets lead with 107. Curry realized that West played a bit independent. He commanded the opponent from behind to put him in the position, and then passed the ball to Jackson to assist him in hitting a three-pointer. Then he jumped up in front of Paul and hit a three-pointer, helping the Warriors to l12.
"It's good to struggle." Paul looked at Curry with a smile, with a kind of freedom and freedom between his forms, which was a manifestation of his absolute confidence in himself and his absolute control of the enemy. He and West joined forces to fight back, and Ibaka's restrictions on West were very unsuccessful. The latter was too cunning and had rich attack methods, which gave him a great headache.
Paul's control over the court made West jealous. He wanted to prove that he was not bad at all, so he made a three-pointer long-range layup, like a crocodile that broke into a fish pond. West killed Peja almost had no power to resist on the defensive end. Percy had long given up defending West, and the latter's youthful aura was not comparable to that of an old man.
West helped the Warriors blossom inside and outside. After using Chamberlain to successfully make a layup, the Warriors overtook the score. After that, although Paul repeatedly made good passes, the Hornets' shooting percentage dropped. The Warriors used breakthroughs and outside scoring to achieve an offensive climax. At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led by 342.
West's brave performance shocked the Hornets. He scored 17 points in the first quarter, half of the team's score.
After the start of the second quarter, the Warriors continued to maintain their lead. Azubuk, who came on as a substitute, made a three-pointer at the beginning, Paul broke through and was blocked by Chamberlain, and West grabbed the ball and made a defensive fast offense to counterattack, causing Peja to foul.
Paul led the team to counterattack, but the first ball was not going well. West hit Harrington under the basket, bypassed the latter, and then went to the middle and hooked the basket and made a layup. Chamberlain slapped the ball down. But Paul was very resilient and patient, and then assisted West again to dunk at the basket.
West's madness began to decline in the middle of the second quarter. After all, he was not the Transformers with unlimited physical strength. Chamberlain, who had been focusing on defense, stood up. He first cooperated with Curry to make a pick-and-roll hook shot, and then turned around and shook Chandler to dunk.
Chandler's defensive ability is unquestionable, but Chamberlain's two consecutive goals left him helpless. When he served Paul, he said depressedly: "Damn, this kid is more difficult to deal with than Garnett, Duncan and Yao Ming."
The Warriors attacked too hard in the first quarter of the outside, which is why there was no good point guard to control the overall situation. In the second quarter, the quality of the outside defense suddenly dropped. After the Hornets scored a 26-0 climax, the score gap narrowed to 6-B David West's low-post attack caused Chamberlain to foul. After two free throws, the Hornets regained the lead 3-6. However, Chamberlain hit a buzzer-beating ball before the end of this quarter, and the Warriors led by 57-6 and entered the second half.
After the second half, the two sides were in a tug-of-war. Chandler made a powerful dunk and was blocked by Chamberlain again. The fans in the Oracle Center are cheering like thunder, almost overturning the roof. Paul broke through himself. Without Billups' guard, no one could defend him - there was a West who had a good defense, but he had to stare at Peja and retain his energy on the offensive end.
Azubuk had no choice but to pull Paul's breakthrough, so he could only reach out and pull down. Paul scored two more points on the free throw line, and the Hornets tied the score to 6. The Hornets' touch began to warm up slowly. Peja made a three-pointer long shot, Chamberlain missed Chandler to grab the rebound, Paul organized a fast break backhand pass and came with a HLOOKp who followed behind Morris Peterson to dunk, and the Hornets led the Warriors with 662.
Chamberlain stepped forward again, hit a hook shot at the basket and caused a foul by West's thug, who made a backup defense, to help the Warriors tie the score. After Curry broke through and scored a layup, the two teams tied the score at 6. However, at the end of this quarter, the Hornets' outsiders began to bombard again, and Percy finally achieved the role of the team signing him. He hit two consecutive three-pointers on the outside, helping the Hornets lead 84-0. Fortunately, Chamberlain scored 4 points in a row before the end of this quarter, and the Warriors temporarily fell behind 1 point 84-6.
After the last quarter, the Hornets scored a 6l run and led 3-2. Over half of this quarter, the Hornets continued to lead. The Hornets' head coach was not a vegetarian. He sent two big men, Chandler and Sims, to double-team Chamberlain. At this time, the Warriors' outside physical strength dropped seriously and felt very poor. As long as Chamberlain is locked, they are basically sure to win.
In the last 4 minutes, both sides started a bloody battle. Chamberlain blocked Chandler's layup again, turned his head and made a firm move in the double team to fight Sims' defensive foul and made both free throws. The Warriors scored 6-100
Chamberlain strengthened his defense and even pulled the defense range out of the three-point line. Chandler and Paul's shooting missed one after another. The Warriors launched the final counterattack. West made a layup and caused Paul to foul. Unfortunately, it was only two free throws. However, Chamberlain grabbed the key rebound and made another two points. In the last 1 minute and 14 seconds, the Warriors overturned the score to 101,100.
Chandler received an assist from Paul, causing Chamberlain to foul, and one of two free throws was made. In the last 3 seconds, the two teams tied in l0l. The Warriors attacked behind, and the Hornets pressed tightly, which caused the Warriors to violate the attack in seconds. In the last 3 seconds, Paul missed the shot, Chamberlain protected the backcourt rebound, Chandler adopted a foul tactic, but Chamberlain made both free throws, and the Warriors took the lead in 10B102.
Paul broke through and made a mid-range shot later. In the last 19 seconds, the Hornets led the Warriors 10410. The fans in the Oracle Arena didn't even dare to exhale, and held their breath and watched the players on the court compete.
The Warriors performed the last attack, and there was no doubt that Chamberlain would take the action. Curry made a mistake in passing. He was clicked by Paul when he passed the ball. The ball passed short and fell into the hands of Chandler who was guarding the front. In the end, Paul dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch and pretended to break through. Curry was shaking. As a result, Paul took a step back and hit the mid-range shot again, and the Hornets led by 10,610.
There are only 0B seconds left in the end, and opportunities and pressure are left to the Warriors.
