Chapter 221 Sounds the horn of counterattack

Chapter 5 blows the horn of counterattack
(I have been busy these two days, and the update has not been very stable. I am very sorry. It will return to normal after the Golden Week.)
The referee's whistle sounded for a long time, proving that the ball was not fouled, and it was indeed like this. Jack's block was very clean!Not the slightest sloppy.Calling a foul is very unreasonable.However, the fanned basketball was snatched by Ginobili.

After Ginobili got the ball, looking at the 24 seconds of attack time, there is not much left.After taking the ball, it is still one meter away from the three-point line, so you can just pull it up and shoot.

If such a goal is scored, the Hornets will be unlucky today.

"Bah..." The basketball bounced heavily on the front edge of the basket and was bounced high.Jack has the best timing, location, and harmony!The card position occupies the best stronghold for rebounding.

The Hornets regained the opportunity to attack!Paul dribbles, the Hornets attack in position!

Paul organizes the offense with the ball from outside the three-point line. While observing the situation on the court, Paul constantly understands the opponent's defense in his mind.

At this time, the position of the Hornets players, Russell Butler and Tyson Chandler are standing high on the right wing and one step inside the three-point line.Peja occupies a very favorable position under the basket, but unfortunately, Peja's body is too thin to shake Robert Horry, who has already appeared in a misplaced defense.At this time, Jack was standing in the upper left corner of the three-second zone.

.

Peja Stockovic in the low post set an up screen for Jack, and Jack used Peja's screen to occupy the best singles basketball stronghold at the basket.

After the pick-and-roll for Jack was completed, Peja received a pass from Paul, and Peja didn't even think about feeding the ball directly to Jack who was in the low post.

Jack's position made the Spurs players dare not double-team easily. Last season, the Spurs suffered a loss because of double-teaming Jack. Until now, they still can't forget it for a long time.

Jack turned around and faced the basket. Jack was facing Duncan's defense. Jack made a false move. Seeing that Duncan was unmoved, Jack was of course unceremonious. Shoot directly.

With a sound of "shabu", the basketball hit the net very crisply.Jack's level 8 mid-range shooting percentage is really not blown out.

In turn, Parker almost hit the Hornets, pressed the Hornets to play, suddenly pulled up, stopped and shot!

"Boom..." The Spurs' offense stagnated, and Parker missed his shot!
Tyson Chandler used his rebounding prowess to grab the first rebound over Tim Duncan!
Still the same set of tactics just now, the Hornets still handed the ball into Jack's hands, and let Jack solve it directly.Not to mention, this kind of dismissal of the Hornets has received miraculous results.

This time, the defensive strategy adopted by the Spurs was to let other members of the Hornets score than to let Jack score. Jack got the ball inside and was immediately chased and intercepted by the Spurs.

Jack attracts enough defense to get the ball out just in time before the double-team can form.Jack's assist skill - a thousand opportunities to change, has reached level 5 or above.The Spurs' double-team defense Jack Na is purely courting death!
Jack promptly handed over the ball to the open ball and handed it to Butler.When Ginobili saw Jack's timely distribution of the ball, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately flew over to interfere with Butler's shooting.

After Butler got the ball, he was not in a hurry to attack. Seeing Ginobili flying over, Butler finally chose to hand it over to Peja Stockovic, who was completely open.

How could Peja let go of such a good opportunity?Seeing the Spurs players who hadn't defended, Peja took a little aim, then pulled it up, raised the knife with his hand and dropped it, and with a sound of "swap", the basketball hit the net!

Driven by Jack, the Hornets chased for 5 points in a row.The Spurs are digging holes directly from now on, even if it is Popovich's timeout, it still can't stop it.

After the end of the first quarter, the Hornets not only tied the score, but also overtook it by 7 points, 20 to 27, and the Hornets led by 7 points.

In the second quarter, according to the deployment before the game, the Hornets still played the game with David West leading a group of substitutes.

The Hornets' bench players let the Spurs players see how powerful the bandits are. They were robbed for 4 points in less than 12 minutes in the second quarter.

When the main players of the Hornets came back, the Hornets took advantage of the victory and pursued, further extending the score to 23 points.

After halftime, the Hornets relied on their excellence in the first half of the quarter and successfully played to take the lead in the second quarter.

At the end of the second quarter, the Hornets took a 34-57 lead.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Hornets' entire team's sense of touch suddenly disappeared collectively, and they continued to fight outside.The Hornets didn't succeed in the first three minutes of the third quarter.

It doesn't matter that the Hornets' own offense didn't score, but when the Hornets' offense failed to score, the Hornets also allowed the Spurs to play a 12-0 spurt.

In the first 3 minutes of the third quarter, the Spurs directly reduced the score to only 11 points, and the Hornets were in danger.

At the critical moment, in the end, Jack stepped forward, faced the pincer attack of Duncan and Robert Horry in the low post, and made a super-difficult backward shot. He hit the ball when his body was seriously out of balance. Enter!
Jack's ball also blew the Hornets' counterattack horn!

In the next more than a minute, Jack relied on empty-handed running, shot after receiving the ball, and played low-post singles...scored 8 points in a row, helping the Hornets regain the dominance on the field. .

Driven by Jack, the morale of the Hornets was also hit.The Hornets' touch has also begun to thaw.

Peja made successive hits from the perimeter, and Jack also frequently succeeded in post-up singles in the low post.Tyson Chandler, Qin Hao, Ginobili and Tony Parker went to eat hot pot one after another!The plan that led to the Spurs attacking the Hornets' paint went bust.Fortunately, the Spurs still have some shooting percentages on the outside, otherwise, the game can basically be over now.

"Shabu" Jack played a post-up single in the low post, and scored with a half-hook shot!As of the third quarter, it has been countless times that this is the first time Jack has succeeded in low-post singles.
