The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 99, Pull the wind.

Today Xue Ding's dress is very cool.

A white hair band is tied on the head, and there are many equipments such as arm guards, wrist guards, knee pads and so on.

The most important thing is that Xue Ding is still wearing a mask!
WTF!

If it was on the field, Xue Ding's full armor would be ridiculed.

The camera frequently pointed the lens at Xue Ding, and Xue Ding had more appearances than Hornets star Paul.

Fernandez next to him said enviously: "I finally know why you dress like this. It's not to prevent injuries, but to grab attention and headlines. Look, the camera is all yours. Hey, I'm an idiot. Laughing at your attire, Xue, teach me how to attract media attention like you."

Fernandez looked at Xue Ding with regret.

When Xue Ding appeared in this outfit in the locker room today, Fernandez was the one who took the lead in laughing at Xue Ding.

Everyone's first reaction when they saw Xue Ding was that this guy was afraid of getting hurt, but now it seems that Fernandez is not the same thing.

Xue Ding gently touched Fernandez's head, and said, "Rudy, change your hairstyle first, so that the media may write you in the headlines, and the camera can find you directly."

Fernandez's eyes lit up, and he replied, "What hairstyle?"

As soon as Xue Ding said it, he spoke to his heart, and he also thought it was okay.

Xue Ding replied: "Just keep a pinch of the little yellow hair on the top of your head, and dye the rest black."

Xue Ding thinks that Schroeder's hairstyle suits Fernandez quite well.

Very handsome.

Fernandez was a very modest young man, and immediately replied: "Well, when we get back home, you accompany me to get my hair done."

Xue Ding nodded.

It is possible to have hair done, but unfortunately it is not very popular for women.

When the commentator explained the starting lineups of the two sides, the netizens watching the live broadcast also became noisy.

"Oh, Xue Ding is a bit different, the protection is tight enough."

"Hairband, mask, wristbands, and all the equipment. If it weren't for the jersey, I wouldn't recognize this guy as Xue Ding."

"No way, Xue Ding has to learn to protect himself as a pioneer."

The fans also started to discuss Xue Ding's clothes.

The Hornets' starters for this game are: Paul, Stojakovic, Brown, West, Okafor.

The starting lineup for the Trail Blazers is: Xue Ding, Fernandez, Webster, Aldridge, Pulbizla.

The shooters that Xue Ding relies on are Fernandez and Webster.

Both are shooting 37 percent from three.

Director Xu said: "Director Zhang, do you think Xue Ding will be able to perform as he did in the previous game if he faced Paul today?"

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult. Paul's offense, organization, and defense are much better than Fisher's. And they must have studied the video of Xiao Ding's last game. They will not give Xiao Ding such a good opportunity to explode. Now Xiao Ding doesn't have Roy's restraining power, so he should be very uncomfortable playing."

"Well, there are many difficulties today. Paul's playoffs last year were full of regrets. This season will make a comeback. Facing the Trail Blazers who are now full of injuries, we must win today."

"Well, let's look forward to Xue Ding's performance today."

The attendance rate of the arena in New Orleans is only about 7%.

The current Blazers are No. [-] in the league, and they have received a lot of attention. This kind of attendance has already given Paul a lot of face.

Looking at the atmosphere here, Xue Ding understood why Paul and Davis were unwilling to stay in this city.

Sadness of a small city.

Although the star flavor of this game is not enough, the fans in the arena in New Orleans expect the home team to kill the Trail Blazers, and there are still some cheers.

"Beep!!"

Purbizla and Okafor jump the ball.

Okafor jumped to win easily, and he passed the ball to Chris Paul.

Paul holds the ball and slowly advances across half court.

The dribble is very stable.

Xue Ding opened his arms and walked close to Paul.

Blazers halftime.

Paul observes the top of the arc.

Almost ignored Xue Ding's fake stealing action.

Paul played a tactic.

West came quickly to hit the pick and roll.

West stepped up to block Xue Ding, and Ade rushed over from behind.

One stop and one break!
Taking advantage of the gap between Xue Ding and Aldridge's cross defense, Paul passed the ball directly through the two, and hit the ground to West who went down to the free throw line.

empty.

West and Paul's pick-and-roll coordination has been extremely adept.

West received the ball and the free throw line jumped a mid-range.

High arc.

"Swish"

Basketball goes through the net.

Hit steadily.

0:2.

West is a skilled power forward who can shoot and handle the ball. He is deadly in the middle distance. This season, his mid-range shooting percentage is as high as 50%, which is higher than that of Adelaide.

Xue Ding looked helplessly at the unsolvable pick-and-roll between Paul and West. He knew that Paul was going to pass the ball, but he just couldn't prevent it.

At this time Aldridge also spread his hands, then shook his head!
Both knew that Paul and West were going to play a pick-and-roll, but they just couldn't help it.

Paul has an excellent view of the overall situation and delicate passing techniques. With the Blazers' current unsystematic defense, it is not so easy to cut off his passing route in this game.

Since you can't defend, you can only use offense against offense.

Xue Ding dribbled the ball past halftime.

Raising your hand at the top of the arc is a tactic.

Two shooters run.

Aldridge comes up to cover.

Aldridge blocked Paul, and Xue Ding really wanted to play a pick-and-roll like Paul did.

But it is a pity that Aldridge already has a middle distance. Paul and West have already guarded against Xue Ding's move. However, Xue Ding does not have Paul's passing ability to grasp the opportunity, so he can't play this delicate job.

Therefore, Xue Ding couldn't find a chance to pass the ball to Ade, because he was thinking about passing the ball, and he also missed the opportunity to break through.

Xue Ding prepares a big through ball to Fernandez on the right.

but.

"Snapped!"

Paul saw through Xue Ding's intention to pass the ball, and quickly stole Xue Ding's pass.

Xue Ding made a mistake +1
After Paul's steal, he made a quick assault.

After Xue Ding was cut off, he didn't give up, he chased back frantically.

Paul was not as fast as Xue Ding, and was overtaken by Xue Ding outside the three-point line.

Xue Ding's defense is good, but the defensive awareness of the rest of the Blazers has not kept up. The Hornets' counterattack system is very mature, and Stojkovic slipped to the right corner of the three-point line.

Will Paul miss this opportunity?

Obviously not, just score the ball directly, and the ball will arrive!

Stojkovic catches the ball and raises his hand, which is a three-pointer!
"Shh!"

0:5.

The Blazers were beaten continuously as soon as they came up.

The gap between Xue Ding and Paul can be clearly seen in these two short rounds.

Paul had two assists and one steal, fully demonstrating his strength as a queen bee.

At this time, McMillan's face was not good, and the team made an offensive and defensive mistake in the first round.

McMillan asked Xue Ding to dribble the ball for halftime and immediately called a timeout.

The team is going through a difficult moment, it has to be adjusted immediately, and no mistakes can be made.

McMillan clapped his hands and surrounded several starters.

He didn't take the tactical board, but said directly: "Xue, don't play pick-and-roll with Aldridge, the center comes out to cover, after that, Xue, you attack by yourself, shoot all the stars, you have to play first by yourself, so as to attract Defend, feed your teammates!!"
