Chapter 217 Slaughtering the Spurs
Chapter 1 Massacre the Spurs
On October 10, local time in the United States, before the deadline, the schedule of 8 games for the 2006-2007 NBA preseason games has already been released. At that time, 119 cities will host these games, and these cities are not North American cities where NBA teams are located.

The NBA is a commercial league, and preseason games are becoming more commercialized.Their preseason games are distributed in every corner of the world, such as China's Taiwan, BJ, Shanghai, Italy's Rome and other countries!
The Hornets did not go abroad in the preseason, and the first game of the Hornets' playoffs was against the San Antonio Spurs. Because they are both in the Southwest District, it is really a narrow road.

The Hornets almost created the "Black Eight Miracle" last season. The Spurs narrowly beat the New Orleans Hornets by one point, which made Jack very upset. Jack probably wouldn't be so angry.Because, after all, it was caused by the huge gap between strengths.However, the Hornets fought to the end and the referee's misjudgment led to the team's final loss.That's what annoyed Jack.

This season's Spurs, in addition to maintaining the original championship team, they also introduced pitcher Barry.Barry is a well-known shooter in the league, and his one-handed shooting skills are really not covered.Barry averaged 2-3 three-pointers per game. Barry's arrival will undoubtedly provide a stable shooting point for the Spurs outside.The Spurs' signings will only make the Spurs more powerful.

Even if, last season, the Spurs were unable to successfully defend their title.However, with the aging of the Heat Sharks in the East, the Spurs overwhelmed their old enemy from last year, the overall runner-up Dallas Mavericks in the league.Become the biggest favorite to win this year.

Although it was just an ordinary preseason game, the atmosphere in the Hornets' locker room was indeed extremely dignified.

Because the Hornets players present all know the grievances between the Hornets and the Spurs last season.This is the first game before the season, and the opponent is still his old enemy, no matter how it is, this game will definitely be won until the game.Even though, this is just a preseason game.Moreover, the final result has nothing to do with winning or losing.

The coach of the Hornets, Byron Scott, stood among the players and calmly said to the players of the Hornets: "I know that the preseason record has nothing to do with the results of the game. However, I still I hope you play well in the pre-match. I don't want to lose, you should know how to do it! Losing feels like shit, it smells very bad, and it hurts as soon as it gets on it."

"I won't lose!"

"Win!"

"We're going to win!"

The other players of the Hornets echoed together.

Byron Scott paused for a moment, and used the corner of his eye to scan all the players present.Finally, his eyes rested on Jack, looking at Jack with expectant eyes, thinking in his heart: "Go and release your energy!"

…………

The Hornets' first preseason game was held in St. Louis.The city is located on the banks of the longest middle reaches of the Mississippi River in the United States, in the center of the continental United States, almost in the geometric center of the United States, and has important strategic significance geographically.St. Louis once hosted the third Summer Olympic Games in 1904, but unfortunately there was no NBA team.

The game has not yet started, and the atmosphere in the stadium is already very warm.Jack has already become famous since the last tiebreaker.Even though it is St. Louis now, there are still many fans at the scene playing slogans supporting Jack and the Hornets.There is a corner of the field dedicated to fans wearing Hornets No. 33 jerseys.

The appearance of the players, the appearance ceremony of the preseason, is simply not on the same level as the regular season and playoffs.The appearance ceremony was extremely simple!That's not called an appearance ceremony at all.

None of the main players of the Spurs appeared on the court, let alone not playing. Even the three Spurs driving Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and other main players on the sidelines did not even see a ghost.It seems that the Spurs want to use this substitute to finish the game.

In stark contrast to the Spurs, the Hornets, Hornets coaches, substitutes, and main players were all present. The Hornets simply regarded this game as a regular season, no, it was not a regular season, but It's the playoffs, or even the finals.

The Hornets took the lead at the beginning of the game, and the new aid of the Hornets, Tyson Chandler, succeeded in jumping the ball.

Tyson Chandler patted the ball into Paul's hands, and when Tyson Chandler successfully jumped the ball, Jack had already started to go to the basket quickly...

Paul made a long pass through the audience, and the Spurs players hadn't even realized what was going on?The Hornets' fast break has already been played.

Jack shot out across the sky, forcibly tightened his waist in the air, and stopped in the air. This time seemed to have stopped.

Jack held the ball with one hand in the air and drew a perfect semicircle in the air. The big windmill in the air was facing the basket that was close at hand. There was a loud noise, and the basket was shaking from side to side, as if it might collapse at any moment.

The high magnification above the basket is that the camera recorded Jack's classic action...

Absolute classic!Absolute violence!Absolute shock!
Jack's dunk just kicked off Jack's massacre performance in this game.

The Spurs' offense failed to score, and Tyson Chandler took the rebound. After Chandler got the ball, taking advantage of the Spurs' players not returning to the defense in time, Tyson Chandler took the ball directly, just to A direct half-court pass passed.

Jack got the ball in the air, facing the empty basket, after Jack took a small step

Accurately stepped on the free throw line, although he jumped into the air.

This time, Jack imitated the dunk of Jordan's free throw line. Jack gliding in the air, his legs curled up, and when he reached the highest point, his legs curled up again. The strength of the dunk was prepared in terms of space. With a "boom", Jack smashed the basketball in his hand into the basket with a thunderous force, and then landed.

From ascending to gliding to falling, everything is just right, the height of the bounce, the distance of the leap, the long time in the air, the key to strength, the twists and turns of the movement, the rhythm and vertical control of the gliding are unimaginable and amazing, only the rhythm admiration.

Hornets fans shouted loudly...
