Defending champion

Chapter 191 Another Home Victory
Chapter 11 wins again at home

Rotation attack!

Parker dribbled to the frontcourt to organize the next round of offense!

The fans at the scene spontaneously booed loudly.Hornets fans hope to use this to affect the efficiency of the Spurs' offense.But does booing matter to seasoned pros?

Facing the crazy offensive of the Spurs, the 30-point advantage was chased down to the last 11 points, and the players of the Hornets team couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.They also had to play twelve points to treat this game.

In the third quarter, the reason why the Spurs were able to set off a wave of chasing points has a lot to do with Duncan.It's not that Duncan scored many, many points in the third quarter.On the contrary, under Jack's defense, Duncan only scored a pitiful 4 points, but Duncan sent 8 assists.Duncan used his pass to revitalize the entire Spurs in the third quarter.This is where Duncan is truly scary.

Although Jack's defense is very powerful, but Jack does not dare to be crazy enough to say that he can not even pass Duncan's ball.Even Bill Russell, the Lord of the Rings back then, didn't dare to say such a thing.However, it wasn't the time when Jack couldn't do anything about Duncan.

As long as Duncan's passing ability is based on the fact that he has the ball in his hands, he can pass the ball only when he has the ball in his hands.How can he pass the ball if he doesn't have the ball in his hands?Therefore, the best way to defend Duncan from receiving the ball is to go around the front and keep going around the defense so that he can't catch the ball.

Therefore, in this wave of offense, Jack deliberately strengthened Duncan's defense around the front, and Jack pushed Duncan out with his body.At the same time, some little-known tricks were used (unique tricks of some well-known defensive experts in the NBA!).

Under Jack's interference, Duncan was really pissed off!Jack kept circling forward, constantly circling forward... Duncan hadn't adapted to Jack's defense for a while, and Duncan failed to get a position.

The Spurs' offense was resolved by Parker himself. After a breakthrough, he made an emergency stop jumper, and with a "boom", the basketball bounced out of the basket.

Hilton gets the rebound!

Hornets attack!Jack did the same, just now in the third quarter Duncan sent off, Jack asked for the ball inside and pretended to attack!Jack's position is very good, Jack easily received Paul's pass.

As soon as Jack's inside line received the ball, Holly on the inside line immediately slid over and double-teamed Jack.Jack was expecting him to double-team it?Jack is still worried about how to do it so that he will come to double-team?Unexpectedly, at this time, Holly would take the initiative to send it to the door.

Jack sneered, and thought: "It's fine like this, but I have a lot of work left." Holly helped defend, and before the double-team was formed, Jack's wrist trembled slightly, and the basketball in his hand was like a ghost. It was passed from his hands, and the ball was handed over to jr Smith, who had a three-point corner and an open space.

The defensive Duncan suddenly saw that the basketball in Jack's hand suddenly disappeared, and he yelled in his heart: "It's not good!" However, by the time Duncan realized that something was wrong, it was already too late.The basketball in Jack's hands was handed over to JR Smith.

Seeing JR Smith appear open, Ginobili next to him immediately defended the past.Seeing Manu Ginobili defending him, JR Smith also smiled treacherously, and immediately released the basketball in his hand.

The ball went to Chris Paul, who was completely empty.If JR Smith's three-point chance just now was a gap, then Paul is facing a big gap now.

Paul was outside the three-point line, tiptoeing lightly, and shot very calmly. He raised the knife and dropped it, "washing" the very crisp sound of a basketball brushing into the basket.Letting Paul shoot three-pointers is purely courting death. When you are Paul, you don’t see how many three-pointers he shoots.However, this does not mean that he does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers.Paul's career three-point shooting percentage has reached 32%.

pretty!Very nice attack!The Hornets used a typical Spurs' pass in this wave of offense.In the way of others, return to others.This big trick is really beautiful.

The Spurs coach Popovich, who was sitting next to him on the coach's bench, turned pale, the corners of his mouth were twitching constantly, his fists were clenched, and his nails had already sunk into his flesh.One can imagine how angry Popovich was!
"Yeah... oh yes... oh also..." The Hornets can play such a pleasing basketball, and the fans of the Hornets are also happy from the bottom of their hearts, watching the Hornets begin to re-establish their leading advantage.There was a lot of cheers at the scene...

Since then, the Hornets have not given the Spurs any chance to close the score to double digits.In the end, the Hornets won the third game of the series with 102 to 88 points.Wins Game [-] of the Spurs-Hornets series.

With a 1-2 lead in the score, the Hornets were upset!

In this game, Jack scored 20 points and 11 rebounds on 25 of 15 shots, including 5 offensive rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 blocks. As the core of the Hornets, he won the game.In addition to Jack, returning to the home court of the Hornets, the performance of the other members of the Hornets today is also remarkable.

保罗14投6中拿下了16分2篮板4抢断14次助攻，这样子超级大号的两双。巴特勒和jr史密斯拿到了相同的分数，他们两一共合砍了32分，其中具有24分是通过空位三分球拿到的。黄蜂队的主力中锋希尔顿，也拿到了12分13篮板球1封盖。还有就是作为黄蜂队的替补的大前锋大卫·韦斯特也拿到了12分和8篮板球。

In short, today all the players of the Hornets had a good time in front of all the folks and elders, and poked the spirit of the defending champion fiercely.

Even if the defending champion Spurs were defeated today, the power of their GDP combination is still infinite.The three tanks of the Spurs scored 62 points today, but they were very helpless.As soon as the Spurs' substitutes came to the Hornets' home court, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Except for Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, the other players only scored 28 points, which is a great shame for the defending champion.

At the press conference, the three Duncans who participated in the press conference were expressionless, and it could be seen that they were trying hard to bear it.The three of them also answered the reporter's questions one after another.
