The two teams jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Hilton overwhelmed the white center Chris Kaman to give the Hornets the lead.

At the beginning of the game, the players on both sides played very excitedly.Moreover, what is commendable is that the hit rates of both sides are very high.

Hornets attack!
Chris Paul dribbled the ball from the outside, and Jack got stuck inside.According to the team's offensive routine formulated by Byron Scott, Paul hoisted the basketball in his hand to Jack inside in time.

The Hornets players, standing on the side of the court, freed up half the court for Jack to play singles.Chris Kaman and Jack had a mismatch.Jack beats the big with the small.

Facing Chris Kaman's defense, Jack first probed his shoulders, Chris Kaman took a small step back, and then Jack made a fake shot.

Chris Kaman believed it, and with a "boom", he was shaken high by Jack.Jack took the opportunity to dribble a small step, a pull-up jumper.

"Bo" hit the board and go into the basket!Jack first dialed the lead for the Hornets.Jack's movements became more and more smooth, like flowing water.

The Clippers attack!

Their all-star player Elton Brand broke through the ball and immediately assisted Cassel's open three-pointer from the outside, and returned the favor!

"Shabu" basketball hit the net!
Kassel still has a very strong strength, and his gentle touch is not blown out.

The Hornets or Jack dominates the Hornets' offense.Still in the same position, Jack is facing the same defender.

Jack slammed Chris Kaman hard in the low position, and he slammed it a few times. Then Jack turned around very cleverly and threw Chris Kaman. He turned around and shot back to solve the battle.Jack used his footwork and explosiveness around the basket to single out Chris Kaman, which was really easy and freehand.

Even though Brand came back to defend in time, his arm had already covered Jack's eyes.It was just a millimeter short of hitting Jack on the nose.

Faced with such a tight defense, Jack was still unafraid, his arm trembled slightly, and the basketball slipped out from his fingertips.

With a bang, the ball goes in!

As soon as Jack came on the court, he hit one after another, slapping the faces of all the Clippers—didn't you say that you would limit my scoring to less than five points?Come on!But you seem to have no chance.

In fact, it's no wonder that the Clippers players and the Hornets players are all ambushing outside the three-point line.The Hornets' average three-pointers per game ranks fourth in the league.If you don't defend the Hornets' perimeter, the Clippers will suffer a lot.

However, the dilemma facing the Clippers is not this one, but Michael Jack inside.If he continues like this, at the end of the first quarter, it would not be difficult for him to score 30 points in low post singles.Judging by his current shooting percentage.

Individual defense is currently difficult to limit Jack's performance.Both fans and coaches of the Clippers are very aware of this.

The head coach of the Clippers pointed to Jack on the sidelines to Chris Kaman and Brand, and then made a gesture of wiping his throat.The three of Chris Kaman understood in time and made a change.

Hornets attack!
Jack is still asking for the ball in the low post, but this time the situation is very different from the previous one.They sent two of the Clippers' most defensive basketball players, Chris Kaman and Brand, to double-team Jack.

Chris Kaman was in the front and Brand was behind, and Jack was stuck in the middle and couldn't move.Jack in the interior has no way to catch the ball at all.

Jack couldn't make it at this point, and Paul changed his formation in time.

Paul used a change of direction dribble to give the defender's center of gravity, lifted it high, seized the opportunity, and went straight to the basket.

The Clippers players shrink their defense very regularly.

Paul promptly delivered the ball to Russell Butler, who was already ambushing at the bottom corner of the three-point line. This is Russell Butler's shooting point.After Butler received the ball, without the slightest hesitation, he pulled it up and shot.

"Shabu" hit!

The Hornets' offense was completed.

The core of Brand's team, seeing that the score could not be opened, stood up in time.

Holding the ball in a three-threat posture, a shot fake, and after shaking the defender, a strong first step.Immediately afterwards, he made an emergency stop for a mid-range shot.

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

From the beginning of the game to the present, the shooting percentages of both sides are very high. You shoot and I shoot, and the scores are constantly soaring.

However, it was at this point that Jack was very strange.

Since Jack made two low-post singles in the opening game, Jack has never received the ball in the low post again. As long as Jack appears in the low post once, the Clippers will immediately have two to three basketball players. around Jack.Jack couldn't even catch the ball.

In addition to singles in the low post, Jack also tried to play a pick-and-roll with Paul, but unfortunately, Jack didn't grasp the opportunity when he had the opportunity, and he rarely made a mid-range shot.

I cast a hollow outside the blue and saw an air ball like this.Even Jack himself felt very funny.

"What's the situation!" Even Jack himself couldn't figure out why he had such a piece of bread.It seems that the Clippers' double-teaming and constant defense of Jack's forward defense really played a very important role.

As the game progressed, the Hornets' outside touch began to cool down.

"Bah... bah... bah..." The heavy hammering sound resounded throughout the Staples Center.

On the other hand, on the Clippers side, the bigger they are, the better they are, and their shooting percentage is rising steadily!
