The Hornets are having a blast!

In the second half of the second quarter, the Hornets played directly at the Staples Center as their home court!And Jack is undoubtedly the main character.

Less than 6 minutes into the second quarter, three consecutive dunks, 3 blocks, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists!Jack supported the entire Hornets with his own strength.

In the second half of the second quarter, it directly gave the Clippers a 26-2 spurt, and the Hornets successfully overtook the score. 62 to 44, the Hornets led by 18 points and ended the second quarter.

In the away game, they led by 18 points after halftime, which had to make the Hornets players slightly happy.

Inside the locker room of the Hornets, there was laughter and laughter.The pride of the players soared.

Byron saw that this situation was very bad, so he came out quickly and shouted loudly: "Hey! Dude, be quiet, this is only the first half of the game. Now the leading score doesn't mean anything! We led by 18 points at halftime, but we still exposed a lot of problems... Anything can happen on the court, and you can't relax until the whistle sounds for the end of the game." Bye Len Scott poured a bucket of cold water on the inflated Hornets players.

Some players of the Hornets didn't take it seriously, but Jack kept Byron Scott's words firmly in his heart.The game is like a battlefield, you can only go out if you really kill the enemy.

Jack is still a person who pursues perfection. In the first quarter just now, Jack also discovered that he is not as perfect as he imagined.I can still be defended by the opponent's leading defenders, and I will still make a lot of mistakes.Therefore, Jack still has to keep getting stronger.

The third quarter begins.

In the beginning, both sides played very badly. In the first three attacks, both sides missed shots without exception.

Paul made a mid-range shot after breaking through, and with a bang, the basketball bounced out of the basket.

Jack wanted to jump up to snatch this rebound, and just wanted to take off, but found himself stuck in the middle by Chris Kaman and Brand, Jack had no room to jump at all.

Brand took the precious rebound.

The Clippers attack!
The Clippers played very patiently in this offense.The ball is constantly transmitted in the hands of the Clippers players. They insist on not having reasonable shooting opportunities and resolutely not shooting to complete this wave of offense.

Facing Butler's close defense, Cassell didn't make a strong play, and distributed the ball to Brand, who came to meet him.

Brand didn't have a chance, and he tried to hang into the hands of Chris Kaman inside.Chris Kaman's two consecutive temptations, it looks like he wants to single Hilton.

However, the following facts proved that this was just a cover.

Chris Kaman dribbled the ball hard to hold Jack, while using the corner of his eye to observe the position of the Hornets and Clippers on the court.

Brand Kaman cuts from outside.Chris Kaman certainly found this out too.

Suddenly, Chris Kaman feinted, and Hilton's attention was fully focused on Chris Kaman's offense.Chris Kaman saw that his purpose had been achieved.Chris Kaman hands the ball to Brand.

Brand made a successful air cut, and the defensive Russell Butler no longer knew where he was thrown.Brand made a hard dunk at the basket, and he wanted to use this to vent his depression.

Faced with Brand's dunk, Jack couldn't do anything.He was firmly blocked by the opponent's unknown pawns.

Hornets attack!The Clippers strengthened their defense, but the fast break still couldn't play.

The Hornets' position attack!

Paul and Jack's pick-and-roll.

Paul's return pass after the pick-and-roll was wrong, and the ball was cut off by Cassel.After Kassel succeeded in the steal, he dribbled the ball straight away and made another dunk.

Seeing the slight improvement of the Clippers' performance, they also applauded, shouted, and cheered for their warriors without hesitation...

The Hornets in the third quarter were very depressed. The Hornets players felt as if they had all fallen into the ice cellar.Except for Jack and Paul, the two strongest points of the Hornets, the other players did not score a single point in the third quarter.

The Clippers seized this opportunity and narrowed the score to only 10 points, 72 to 62, and the Hornets still led by 10 points.

The final attack of the third quarter.

The Hornets were attacking, Jack finally received a pass from Paul on the baseline, and he just wanted to play a single.However, the ball just arrived.Chris Kaman and Brand rushed over immediately.

Jack didn't have a chance to shoot at all. Before the double-team was formed, Jack distributed the ball to Russell Butler on the outside. Russell Butler had an open three-pointer.

"Airball...airball..." The audience booed wildly.Butler still failed to withstand the pressure of more than 2 spectators.

"Three non-sticks!"

Chris Kaman took a strong basketball position and grabbed the rebound with 10 seconds left in the third quarter.

The Clippers handed over the ball to Brand. Brand dribbled the ball directly into the inside of the Hornets. He forced a single to hit Hilton. Relying on his super personal ability, he made a strong hit and hit the basketball into the basket!
Moreover, it also caused a foul by Hilton.The penalty was added and the three-pointer was successful.

The Clippers also narrowed the score to only 7 points, 72-65, because of Brand's goal.

The Hornets are in danger!
