Defending champion

Chapter 312
Chapter 100 Paul retired from injury
When the main players of both sides returned to the game, the two sides fought to a 46 tie.Paul is also very in shape today, Paul took over the basketball from Jack.

During the timeout, the Rockets took advantage of the timeout to bring up Alston, who had been resting for almost half a quarter.

Paul dribbled to the frontcourt, and Alston hurried over to defend, trying to put some pressure on Paul.He didn't want Paul to humiliate him again.

Paul dribbled a small step back, watching Alston's footsteps move forward at the moment, an instant acceleration, Paul was like a sharp knife, and passed Jack's shoulder.Go straight to the Rockets' restricted area.All that is left to Alston is his back.

As soon as Paul entered the inside line, the Rockets players immediately surrounded him, forming an encirclement circle that surrounded Jack in the middle.Paul hit the ground pass, and the basketball passed through Mutombo's crotch.

Mutombo's face was stunned, his crotch was cold, and the basketball passed through his crotch.The old face is pale, such an old person, and being so humiliated, how can he not be pale?
Chandler, who followed behind, caught the ball, bent his knees, and stomped his body. His body rose from the ground like a dry field. Chandler held the ball in both hands and kept rising. The height of the jump was very high. With the inertia brought about by the ascent, Jack held the ball in both hands and smashed the ball into the basket hard.

With a loud bang, Chandler tried to counteract the inertia in his body caused by the explosion.Taking advantage of the inertia brought about by the ascent, Jack made a pull-up movement.

The Rockets still handed over the ball to McGrady, and let McGrady solve the problem by himself.What McGrady faced was Russell Butler's defense, or his signature dry jumper.

"Bah...", McGrady's touch today is also very average, with continuous mid-range shots hitting the iron.

Jack grabs the rebound.

Paul dribbled the ball for halftime, and Alston's temper was also ignited by Paul's constant goals and constant teasing in front of him.After Paul dribbled the ball for halftime, Alston quickly posted it.Alstom kept attacking Paul with open arms. Facing Alstom's oppressive defense, Paul had no chance to pass the ball. Watching the time go by, Paul had to defend himself. The dribble made a quick breakthrough, and Alston still wrapped Jack very tightly.With his defensive offensive pace, Paul was gradually forced to the corner of the three-pointer...

"Ah..." Paul shouted loudly, and his whole body flew backwards like a kite.When Paul was sure that he would not be blocked, he pushed the basketball out with the last bit of strength in his body, and his body fell heavily to the outside of the field completely uncontrollably...

Since the arc of the inspin ball is very high, it is impossible for Alstom to interfere with it.

puff!
Paul's back slammed heavily on the empty seat, and there was a sudden blow.

Drip~ The red light on the backboard is on.

Swish!
The ball, carrying endless hopes, finally fell, and a beautiful hollow shot into the net.

In the face of the wonderful buzzer-beater, intuition made the most correct judgment for the fans, so at the moment the goal was scored, there were bursts of warm cheers in the New Orleans Basketball Arena.

"Are you okay?" Alston asked, stretching out his hand. At this moment, Paul screamed in pain that he had no time to pay attention to Alston.

Because Paul fell next to the home team's bench, the team doctor rushed over to examine Paul. During the examination, Paul also felt less and less pain, almost nothing serious.However, looking at Paul's expression, it seems that this is not the case.

"The final result is still uncertain, but what is certain is that he will not have a flawed injury. The final result will not be known until the laboratory report comes out. In order to control the spread of Paul's injury, Paul will not be injured in this game. I can play." The doctor of the Hornets said.Paul, who was lying on the ground, covered his face with his hands, frowning tightly, looking very painful.

Jack's mind was also involuntarily blank. Paul's injury was not what he wanted to see.

…………

"Paul's ball is indeed very dangerous. I can only wish him well here," commentator Kenny Smith said.

"It's hard to say because he's back first. Man you know how important a healthy back is to the game of basketball," Charles Barkley explained.

"Paul is a very good point guard, very talented. What I want to know is what kind of team the Hornets will be without Paul." Kenny Smith said.

"The Hornets have very few talents on the back line. I am also very curious about what kind of offensive tactics the Hornets will use after they lack Paul."

…………

Jack looked at Paul's painful expression, and at Alston's nonchalant expression.Jack's heart was full of anger.

Jack clenched his fists tightly, the fingertips could almost sink into the flesh, and the fingertips became completely pale.The blue veins in his arms were bulging, and he had a ferocious face, gnashing his teeth.At this moment, Jack was like an angry bull.

Paul is Jack's first friend who came to this world through time travel, and he can be regarded as the only friend that Jack can talk to when he comes to this world.At this point, Paul was injured.As a brother, how could Jack not get angry psychologically?

After Paul was carried off the field, the game continued.

The Rockets attack Battier's outside three-pointer, Battier is an expert in outside positioning.

Battier, who had an open space, raised his knife and dropped it. With a sound of "swap", the basketball hit the net.

Rotation attack!

With Hayes at the basket and Jack, Jack asks for the ball in the low post.As the boss of the Hornets, Jack wants the ball, how could Mason, who replaced Paul, not obediently hand the ball to Jack?
Jack at the basket held the ball with his back facing Hayes' defense, and Jack directly sent his shoulder to Hayes' chest.Jack gave Hayes three hits very rhythmically, and Hayes retreated steadily. With the inertia brought by the third hit, Jack took advantage of the trend and made a clean turn around the basket. Jack completely let Hayes get away up.

A series of actions such as stepping, bending knees, kicking the ground, etc. were completed by Jack in an instant.Jack, who was gliding in the sky, smashed the ball into the basket with a thunderbolt.

"Boom"

There was a huge sound, as if an atomic bomb exploded in nine days.

The sound from the loudspeaker behind the basket was enough for all the people in the New Orleans Center Court to hear the groans from the basket. The sound from the metal basket seemed to be distorted by force .

Jack's swinging body hanging on the Rockets' basket has not yet fallen, his powerful hands are still hanging on the basket, and the muscles on his arms are showing his strength to audiences across the United States.
