Defending champion

Chapter 151
(Let’s break out the third watch today! Friends who like it please support me.)
Halfway through the first quarter, the Hornets had fallen behind by 7 points.Seeing that the situation was not good, Byron Scott quickly called a timeout to make adjustments.

"Hey! Man, we can't be dragged by them, we should play the game according to our own rhythm. Our defense has a very big problem, we have to start from the bottom of the defense. Defense... defense ...Defense," Byron Scott yelled at the Hornets players.

The players of the Hornets are also very helpless!Due to Jack's containment of the Clippers' defense in the interior, the opportunity for the exterior came out.However, it seems that the basket has a cover, no matter how you shoot, why not.

Byron Scott glanced at the [-] players present, then called the Hornets players together, waved his arms, and shouted loudly: "We are the Warriors, we are the best! Get rid of the Los Angeles people! Come on! Come on! !come on!……"

Jack stood on the periphery of the Hornets in a daze. As for what Byron Scott said, Jack didn't listen to a word.Looking at the fine beads of sweat on Jack's forehead, it was twice as thick as usual.It can be seen that Jack has a lot of pressure in the face of such a tight defense.

Jack faced more single defenses in the past, but what Jack didn't expect was that the Clippers would spend so much money to deal with a rookie like him, and even used a double-team defense strategy.

To be honest, Jack really couldn't get used to it at first.However, this does not mean that Jack has nothing to do.

……

"Drip..." The whistle sounded to continue the game.

The game goes on!

The Clippers are still following the defensive strategy just now. They are determined to contain Jack's offense at this point no matter what the price is.Even, facing the threat of the Hornets' three-point rain.

Hornets attack!
The Clippers still mainly defend the Hornets' penalty area.Jack managed to catch a ball, and Brand and Kaman stuck together like rubber.There is no room for Jack to attack.

Jack saw the opportunity of jr Smith on the outside, and immediately handed the ball to jr Smith.

"Shabu" has a very crisp sound, but, unfortunately, it is hollow outside the basket.

But it doesn't matter, the rebound is still in Jack's hands.Facing double-team defense, Jack chose to split the ball to jr Smith.

"Bah..." This time it was better, at least the basketball hit the backboard.

The Clippers are also facing the same situation. The low-post Brand encounters Jack and Hilton's double-team defense, and Brand promptly distributes the ball to Cassel who is ambushing on the outside.Kassel made a three-pointer from the bottom corner. Kassel tiptoed lightly, stood up, his wrist shook slightly, and the basketball rolled out of his hand.

With a sound of "shabu", the shot was hit!

In the second half of the first quarter, the Hornets shot a wretched 23 percent from the field.After the end of the first quarter, the Hornets were already 15 points behind.

15:30.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Hornets all replaced the substitutes, but they were miraculously affected.Under the leadership of David West, the Hornets' bench is completely different from the main force.

Under the leadership of David West, the Hornets' best sixth man, the Hornets played a 9-0 spurt.The score was quickly reduced to only 9 points.

During this period of time, David West, relying on his personal excellent touch, passed the mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll, and the ball after the breakthrough of his teammates.He hit three goals one after another, and then assisted Mason who was ambushing the bottom line.

Mason hit a three-three, which directly reduced the score to only 9 points.

The Clippers' rhythm was directly disrupted. Less than two minutes after the opening of the second quarter, the Clippers quickly called a long timeout to make adjustments.

…………

In the second quarter, the performance of the Hornets was beyond everyone's expectations.In order to show respect for the gangsters on the bench, all the main players of the Hornets sitting on the bench stood up and high-fived David West and the others.

The game continues.

The Clippers saw that the Hornets were chasing points so fiercely, so they replaced all the main players in advance.

On the side of the Hornets, Byron intends to remain unchanged.He continued to use the substitute player just now.

After the main force of the Clippers was replaced, the Clippers, under the leadership of Brand, reorganized the glory of the Clippers.Relying on his powerful personal ability, Brand directly extended his lead to double digits after scoring 4 points in a row.

Facing the Hornets' defense, Brand seemed to be in no man's land.Feinted a shot, shook the defender away, and directly pulled up the mid-range shot to hit the ball.

Byron Scott hurriedly asked for a substitution.Jack waited for all the main players to return to the field.

However, the situation of the Hornets' main force being replaced has not changed much.

After the Hornets' Paul broke through, he still didn't make a mid-range shot.

The rebound was picked up by Chris Kaman, and Brand's touch was super hot today, so the Clippers habitually gave him the ball to handle.

Butler and Brand have a misalignment. Brand's scoring ability is the top in the league. It is really difficult for Russell Butler to guard Brand.

Brand's fake move after a feint swayed Butler away, and he made a breakthrough, throwing the defensive Butler half a body away.

After Butler got rid of it, he faced an empty penalty area and killed him at lightning speed.

"Don't even think about it!" Jack yelled, and Jack, who was beside him, quickly made up his defense, jumped up high and wanted to use his body to block Brand who was walking.

Jack stretched out his body completely in the air, forming an indestructible wall of copper and iron in the air.

Faced with Jack's urgent aerial defense, Brand was still unafraid. He twisted his waist and abdomen into a twist, relying on his waist and abdomen that did not lose to Jack, forcibly stopped his body in the air. Stay and avoid Jack's iron-walled defense.

Brand found the right opportunity, saw the needle, and made a layup from Jack's armpit with a low hand under the basket.Dodging in the air, passing Jack.

After the thrown basketball circled a few times in the hoop, it finally went into the hoop.
