Chapter 389 Sir Victory welcomes the return of Chris Paul

Chapter 178 Sir Victory welcomes the return of Chris Paul

Of course Jack understood what Carlos Boozer said just now.
Of course, he is also very clear why Carlos Boozer wants to do this.Therefore, Jack simply came to a plan.

Hornets possession of the ball!

Jack rolled directly into the Jazz's inside to occupy a position to ask for the ball. His stretched body directly blocked the Turk Okur from interfering with his hands.

Mason directly lobbed the ball in, and the moment Jack caught the ball, he saw Boozer quickly defending from the other side.

From these clues, it further confirmed Jack's thoughts just now.

The Jazz obviously made corresponding arrangements for Jack's offense, using double teams to directly cut off his route into the three-second zone.They tried to use this as a way to prevent Jack from scoring.

In their own home court, they would not allow Jack to continue to be so arrogant.

In the Jazz's home court, even Joe's leader would not dare to make mistakes. They would not allow Jack to be so unscrupulous and not take the Jazz seriously.

Even though Jack knew that this was the trick of Sloan's old thief, Jack did not choose to pass the ball at the moment Boozer pounced on him.

Because, Jack knew that this was not the best opportunity yet.If the Jazz dared to do this, Jack would definitely need them to pay a little price.

Jack with the ball exerted force on Okur's body and squeezed inside as hard as he could.

He seemed to be ignoring Boozer's hand at all, and his attention was almost focused on breaking into the restricted area to attack, which made Jazz fans look forward to it.

In the confrontation with Jack's strength, Okur's defensive steps moved more than one step into the three-second zone.

In front of Jack's seemingly absolute power, Okur dared not speak out.

This way gave Jack the space to get closer. In order to interfere with Jack's ball-handling action, Boozer also followed Jack's action and entered the three-second zone.

Kirilenko on the other side is also shrinking inward, and a three-person double-team encirclement is about to be completed.

"That's it."

Jack looked at the three people who were about to surround him.

He has succeeded like a magnet, completely retracting the opponent's defensive force, and one can imagine how big the loopholes in the periphery are.

He still didn't pass the ball immediately, but broke into the three-second zone and forced to take off, as if he was going to complete a difficult move in front of the two big men.

Okur and Kirilenko jumped up almost simultaneously to block his path, but Jack didn't throw the basketball straight out of his hands.

Jack twisted his body in the air, with his back to the basket, and he had observed the position of his teammates just before the breakthrough.

The tall flying Jack acts as a teleportation station in the air.

Out of the corner of Jack's eye, he caught sight of Peja Stockovic, who was hovering in the bottom corner, and a pass that penetrated the encirclement of the three directly shattered the Jazz's attempt.

Open space + the bottom corner he is most familiar with + hot touch, Peja Stockovic certainly did not let go of such an open opportunity.

He just threw the ball as if he was doing practice, and hit the basket with a hollow swipe of the net. The sound of the friction between the basketball and the net was intoxicating.

After seeing Peja Stockovic's goal, Jack grinned at Carlos Boozer and said, "Are you trying to piss me off just because of your few words? You Don’t you underestimate me? Carlos!!”

Boozer looked at the Hornets' goal and looked at Jack's disdainful smile.

He didn't growl again, but his teeth were chattering up and down, and anger was coming out of his nose.

Furious, Boozer reached out to Deron for the ball, and he wanted to chase back that attack just now.

He wanted to severely dampen Jack's spirit and make him pay for what he just said.

Charge, Boozer's breakthrough this time can be said to have started as soon as he stepped across the center line, and he almost didn't mean to stop.Get the ball and rush directly to the opponent's inside lane.

The target he aimed at was the guy who whispered to him just now. He wanted to use an attack to end Jack's shadow in his heart. He not only wanted to humiliate his opponent with scoring.He also needs to let opponents watch how he wins the game off the court.

But Jack didn't directly jump over to defend his breakthrough as he expected, as if he was afraid of him.

Jack took a step back, and Peja Stockovic got rid of Kirilenko's pull and went straight up.

And Jack blocked Kirilenko and Okur's advance with his open hands and back.

"Are you scared! Rookie."

Boozer was roaring in his heart, he wouldn't care who the opponent is defending him now.

He wants to rush away all the blockers in front of him, he wants to put the ball directly into the Hornets' basket to vent his anger, and let everyone know that Carlos Boozer is the king of the inside.

During the breakthrough, he directly squeezed away Peja Stockovich's body as thin as a gun with tyrannical force, while facing Green's attack.

He leaned his entire back against the opponent, and made a beautiful hook with his back to the basket.

This hook has a large arc, much like the sky hook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

This reminds Jazz fans of the guy with the most points in the league, with the same strong body and the same stretching movements. Boozer is responding to Jack's taunt with action.

The orange-red basketball has gently left Boozer's hands, and the basketball that has passed Peja Stockovic's fingertips has not climbed to the highest point.But the feeling of the shot made Boozer clear that the ball could safely fall into the net.

He is waiting for the basketball to draw a perfect arc and fall into the basket, and he wants to hear the pleasant sound of brushing the net.

The sound of "swish" did not come as expected.

Boozer only heard a "snap" beating in his ear.

After landing, he turned around and saw a tall figure hovering over his head, and his waving palm slapped the basketball he shot away.

At this moment, he seemed to see the hope of victory being slapped away by this palm, and the basketball flying far away seemed to have taken away the possibility of their winning streak.

The No. 33 team uniform is extremely dazzling under the light of the energy solution center, as if all the light has been compared.

After Jack finished blocking the shot, his face was extremely ferocious, and he howled a few times in front of Carlos Boozer.Jack's expression seemed to be saying: Don't be crazy, you anti-bone boy, let me beat you to death!
Carlos Boozer's pride was also emptied by Jack's stunning block.A sense of powerlessness spread from the heart.

Jack hit the hearts of many people with an extremely clean defense. Even Jazz fans seemed to smell a hint of failure from this defense. This kind of hook can block shots, so what else can't block them?

They clenched their hands and almost forgot how to cheer for their team.

The game was still going on, and the players on the Hornets bench didn't have time to cheer for Jack's beautiful defense.

The basketball that has been photographed outside the three-second zone has not been controlled by the Hornets. The speed of Jack's defense just now may have surpassed many people's imagination.

Of course, no one including the Hornets team members reacted to this. No one thought that Jack, who was stuck on the side, would suddenly throw off his marking target and pounce on him, and the timing was terrifyingly precise.

There was no interference with the ball, no foul action, and Jack's block was so clean that the referees on the sidelines couldn't find any flaws.

He attacked accurately like a falcon looking for food at high altitude. After hovering for a long time, he attacked suddenly and completely killed Boozer's hard-working shot, which was dodging in the air.

The poor basketball seems to be the prey under the eagle's claws. Few people may think that Boozer will choose to lean on the opponent and use the hook to complete the attack.

But Jack's fatal blow wiped out his careful design and all his previous efforts.

Deron, who jumped to the periphery, picked up the basketball fanned out by Jack, and he directly chose to pass it to Boozer without any hesitation.

He wanted to build up his confidence for his old partner, and Boozer, who was extremely depressed, went inside again.

He wants to take advantage of the chaos of the opponent's defense and go directly to the basket. Now that the Hornets' defense is already in chaos, he will not let go of this very favorable scoring opportunity.

But this guy must roar all night to calm his emotions.

Because the layup he cut into the inside did not recover two points for the Jazz as he thought, but added another block to the Hornets' statistics, he was destined to be suppressed by Jack.

After Jack blocked Boozer through Peja's body, he didn't stop himself.

After he landed, his eyes were fixed on the direction where the basketball fell, and when he saw Deron pass the basketball to Boozer again, he jumped directly from behind Green.

Because Peja was too close when defending Boozer, the two were still entangled.

He had no way to respond defensively to Boozer's attack in the first place, but his body blocked Boozer's sight for Jack.

"Snapped"

Another sound shook the heartstrings of the fans in the energy solution center. The moment the basketball in Boozer's hand left his fingertips and ran towards the basket, he was once again knocked away by that familiar but terrifying palm.

In less than four seconds, Jack had already stifled the opponent's two fatal attacks with his own hands.

He now looks like a monster in the eyes of Jazz fans, and his defense makes them feel for the first time that their perceived successor to Malone is moving away from them.

Jack's performance in this one-minute period was more evil than Satan in the eyes of Jazz fans. In order to get rid of all this, the fans shouted with all their strength, trying to change this situation.

"Jack the son of a bitch, get the hell out!"

"Barbarian, your mother told you to eat shit!"

"Technical foul, the referee quickly give him a technical foul!"

……

Jazz fans are like this, the more they fear, the more they curse...

However, the boos of the Jazz fans Skrillardy did not affect Jack and his Hornets in the slightest.On the contrary, Jack became stronger amidst the boos.

Jack's energy today was all vented on defense.

Jack completely ruled the sky over the Energy Solutions Center.

Whether it is Boozer, Okur or Kirilenko, and even Deron Williams, they all tried the taste of spicy hot pot.

Jack's continuous blocking made the gangster Jazz forget the inside line and made the fierce Jazz flinch.

Under the shock of Jack, Sir Iron Army can only shoot and shoot again
.

Deron forced a shot from the outside, only to hear a "bang..." and the rebound was caught by Jack.

Boozer throws again on the next turn...

Another "bang...", Jack scored another rebound.

Okur made a shot from outside the three-point line, but there was no "bang"... but there was no sound, which was rare for Okur.

Kirilenko's emergency stop jump shot was not a "bang", nor was it a three-way stick, but a "clang",
The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Jack grabbed the rebound like a shooting star catching the moon, and there was a sound of iron striking, which completely confused the Jazz players.

Sometimes they don't have the Hornets' strong scoring and defensive pressure in front of them, but they still can't make shots. If they want to break through, there is no way.

Jack's strategy is very successful, as long as he defends the opponent's inside singles, everything is OK. How can the opponent's shooting level be a bad word!

As expected of the "Iron Army" Utah Jazz team, the whole team is an iron god. If the Rockets' "Iron Zha", "Iron Ding" and "Iron Bu" see this situation, their eyes will shine brightly, shouting confidant, and then drinking Yan Huan, engine oil is hard to find! ! !
Of Okur's eight three-pointers, only two were scored, and six were missed. Kirilenko had three three-pointers, but none was scored. Deron Williams also missed one of the four three-pointers. Player Gordon Kirisek scored two goals on six shots, Earl Watson made five shots, two of which were threes, and one missed. …

They couldn't throw it in even if they were open today. The Jazz's attacking net is just covered. Less than 30% hit rate.

In the third quarter, the Jazz were in trouble, and Jack became the lingering demon in the hearts of Jazz fans. Then he blocked Deron's layup and Boozer's singles consecutively, which brought the gangster's morale to the lowest point.

The Jazz only scored 15 points in this quarter. Deron looked at the scoreboard and shook his head helplessly.

Looking at Jerry Sloan's face, Deron knew that this old guy was going to curse again. Why does this guy like to curse so much?
Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the bench, Jerry Sloan started.

"In the next quarter, you have to control the rhythm. You are facing a group of young people who are inexperienced. As an old team in the league, they only scored 15 points against them. Don't you feel sad! Sad!"

Jerry Sloan looked at his players and shouted loudly.

In the future, the roar known as the iron commander will be very useful for the players of the Jazz.However, facing the Hornets today, there was an accident.

The fourth game started, and in the first few minutes, Jack did not sit on the bench to rest as I usually do.

In fact, this is what Jack meant.

Originally, if it was according to Byron Scott's original intention, it would be to let Jack rest for a few minutes, and then have a decisive battle with the Jazz.

However, Jack expressed another opinion.

Jack feels that the Hornets are still very strong, and pursuing the victory is the kingly way.Because, after the third quarter, the Hornets have led by 15 points.At this time, it is a good opportunity to open the gap.

Byron Scott couldn't beat Jack, and in the end, Jack stayed on the field and continued the game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, under the leadership of Jack, the Hornets played a wave of 12-0 offensive.

The point difference was directly expanded to 25 points. At this time, there were still 6 minutes left in the game.

The Jazz saw that there were still so many points difference, so they gave up this game very wisely.

In the end, the game evolved into a fight between the two sides on the bench.

Because the score has been stretched so much, there is no pressure on both sides to play.

The Jazz's substitutes played the strength of their bench gangsters, and they once caught up with the score until there were only 12 points left in the end.

However, the last time of the game did not allow them to do anything.

"Beep..." The whistle sounded for the final end of the game, and the game ended, and the final score of the two teams was fixed at 112 to 98.
The Hornets finally won the game by 14 points.

Jack played a total of 36 minutes in this game. Jack made 18 of 12 shots and scored 30 points.

Jack also grabbed 10 rebounds, although the rebounds are less than the average number of rebounds per game.

However, Jack sent 12 blocks. Jack's blocks were more than the combined blocks of the Jazz.

After the Hornets won this game, they started to marry the leading games again, rising to 1.5 games.In this way, the Hornets avoided the danger of being beaten by the Denver Nuggets who were ranked behind them.

However, the Hornets are not sure to sit back and relax.Because, the Denver Nuggets will continue to return to the game after two games in the next game.

Moreover, their opponent is the Charlotte Bobcats.The Bobcats are a super team in the league.Therefore, the Denver Nuggets will never make such a mistake.

Therefore, in order to avoid being beaten by the Denver Nuggets, the Hornets still had to face the next game with twelve points.

This weekend is Paul's first game, and the Hornets must face the Houston Rockets at their home court.

Most pundits and fans agree that the Houston Rockets will take a qualitative leap this season.But, unfortunately, they still stayed where they were.

So far, the Rockets' record is ranked sixth in the West.They are only 0.5 wins away from the previous Denver Nuggets.

Therefore, in order to avoid meeting the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the playoffs.They have to win as many games as possible.

In the evening, at seven o'clock, the game between the Hornets and the Houston Rockets officially started!
"Next, let's welcome from Vixen University... six feet... our point guard... Chris Paul!!" The commentator at the scene shouted loudly and shouted to Chris Paul, who was at the end. Finally, he walked to the court with a smile on his face, and what greeted him was cheers and screams from mountains and tsunamis.

Paul, who has been injured for more than a month, finally returned today...

Chris Paul is the most popular star of the Hornets besides Jack, not to mention that Chris Paul has been absent for almost a month due to injury.

Paul didn't play a game for a month, and the fans didn't forget Chris Paul.On the contrary, they missed Paul more and more.This can be seen from the voice of the scene.

Jack knew that today was Paul's stage, so Jack was very happy to serve as Paul's wedding dress for a while.
