Chapter 110 Victory over Pacers

The Pacers had signs of closing the score. Byron Scott didn't let the signs spread. With a wave of his hand, the main players of the Hornets, who had rested for most of the quarter, all returned to the court.

As soon as you play, your body is not hot yet?The first wave of offense did not score.O'Neal got the rebound.

The Pacers attacked, Stephen Jackson and Danny Granger's low-line cooperation, Danny Granger received a pass from Stephen Jackson, and dunked one in front of Jack.With a face of a villain, he shouted at Jack: "Haha, does it feel good to be the back?"

Jack seemed very calm, ignored him, and thought: You wait for me, and I will pay you back ten times later.

The Hornets' offense failed to score, and the Pacers seized the opportunity.After Danny Granger dunked one in front of Jack just now, his self-confidence swelled abnormally.

It was Danny Granger who wanted the ball to attack.A breakthrough shot with an emergency stop went in.The Pacers also benefited from Danny Granger's continuous scoring, which further narrowed the trailing score.

After running a few laps and back and forth, Jack's cold body also became hot.

Paul held the ball to control the rhythm of the game. The Hornets are still in the leading position and there is no need to rush to attack. The key is the success rate. Paul knows this very clearly.

The key to Hilton's success in the paint, JR Smith and Russell Butler ambushed the corners beyond the three-point line, drawing the attention of the Pacers' defense and making room for the paint.Paul put the ball into Hilton's hands, and Jack stood near the free throw line.Paul came over and set an empty screen for Jack, who got rid of Peja's defense and cut inside.

Jack had an opportunity, and Hilton acted as the hub, and Hilton was handed over to Jack. After Jack received the ball, he bent his knees and jumped up like a spring. Jack's whole body had flown flat to the left side of the basket. In parallel, the basketball with both hands held high is like a giant axe, slashing towards the basket.

"Kang Peng!"

The basket shouted loudly, and the basketball excitedly threw the net bag into the sky, forming a huge white wave.

Jack fell from the sky and flicked forward a few steps to reduce the momentum brought by inertia.After calming down, he looked at Danny Granger who was standing beside him in a daze with fiery eyes.

That look seemed to eat Danny Granger alive.Very arrogant, very domineering.As if on purpose, Jack kept waving his arms in front of Danny Granger, beating his chest.

"Oh... oh... oh..." The commentator at the scene couldn't restrain himself from shouting.

"Oh, my God! Is this true?" The companion next to him couldn't help but exclaimed.

There was deafening cheers from the silent scene.

The Hornets players immediately surrounded Jack.The most exaggerated is Paul, who yelled to Jack in a crying voice: "I want to tell my mother, can you dunk like this?"

Butler messed up Jack's hairstyle just done yesterday, and said fiercely: "Jack, you can't bully others like this."

The coach of the Hornets, who was sitting on the coaching bench, was stunned for a moment, then muttered in his mouth: "That's crazy!"

David West sat on the bench very calmly, looked at Jack's back and said: "It seems that my choice is correct, you are more suitable to start than me. You are more arrogant than me, Crazier than me, stronger than me...

Jack's dunk raised the momentum of the Hornets to the extreme.The passion of the fans at the scene was also ignited by Jack, and the adrenaline in their bodies was constantly secreted.

"Come on, Jack! Come on, Hornets!..." The cheers and shouts continued.The enthusiasm of the crowd kept the Pacers' players from being 100 percent focused.The Pacers' offense didn't work out.

The Hornets' offense, the Hornets' offense is mainly based on Paul and Jack's pick-and-roll, while also designing a running and conduction system.

Jack stepped forward to pick and roll, and Paul dribbled through. What the Pacers were most afraid of was the small-scale pick-and-roll cooperation of the Hornets.This gave them a very headache, but there was no way the opponent Pacers could only bite the bullet and go forward to defend.

However, it is a pity that Jack and the others did not play this tactic this time. Paul passed the ball to Russell Butler who had already cut to the basket, and Russell Butler dunked the ball directly.Jack successfully attracts the attention of defenders and creates opportunities for them to shoot.

Pacers attack.

The Hornets strengthened the defense of the basket, and they shrunk the players to the basket.O'Neal couldn't catch the ball, and the Pacers could only rely on luck from the outside.Stephen Jackson met JR Smith's three-pointer, the ball missed, and the hollow outside the basket.

Jack won the rebound with Olney Jr., and the ball was handed over to Paul.Then Paul handed over the ball to Butler under the empty cut basket and scored.The Hornets' offense is very smooth, and the integrity is very good.

The Hornets defended the Pacers for 24 seconds. The Hornets' offense, Paul and Jack staged an alley-oop.Stephen Jackson's layup was overwhelmed by Hilton and turned to the ground.Stephen Jackson missed both free throws.

Danny Granger is still the Pacers' main point of attack.Their main tactic is based on the small-scale pick-and-roll of Danny Granger and O'Neal.However, compared with the Hornets, their pick-and-roll is not as flexible as the Hornets.Because Danny Granger's passing vision is not as great as Paul's, and O'Neal's shooting is not as good as Jack's.

Danny Granger rushed to the Hornets' penalty area, Jack and Hilton double-teamed him without hesitation, and Danny's ball couldn't go out.Was penalized by the referee for a walking violation.

The Hornets never gave the Pacers any more chances. At the end of the third quarter, the game had already entered the garbage time ahead of time.In the end, the Hornets beat the Pacers 120 to 85 with a big score of 35 points.

Jack played as a starter and played a total of 27 minutes. Jack made 20 of 15 shots and scored the game's highest score of 32 points, including two two-plus-one opportunities.He grabbed the highest 13 rebounds and blocked 3 shots. The most rare thing is that he didn't make a single turnover.

而口口声声说要向杰克报仇的丹尼·格兰杰则完全的处于下风。上场38分钟，全场25投7中拿下16分5篮板球0封盖2助攻同时还有全场最高的8次失误。报仇不成，反而比杰克给虐。

This is Jack's first starting game. After this practice, Byron's change has been proved to be very successful.

After the game against the Pacers, the Hornets started their consecutive three-way trip.
