Chapter 391 A game belonging to Chris Paul

Chapter 1: A Game That Belongs To Chris Paul

After Paul threw Alston away, Paul directly took a horizontal step, stopped horizontally, bent his knees, kicked the ground, and made a mid-range shot with a sudden stop!

Paul once again threw the basketball into the basket steadily!

Paul's touch became more and more fiery, and all three shots in the opening game were made without exception.

Paul has become the strongest point of the Hornets' attack since the start of the game.

At the beginning, Paul completely exploded the point guard of the Rockets.Paul's explosion is not only reflected in the offense.

Even in defense, Paul has an absolute advantage.Paul showed fans that he has the potential to be one of the top point guards in the league.

It would be uncomfortable for anyone to be deflated by Paul one after another.

As a basketball player in the league, he doesn't have a temper, and Alstom is certainly no exception.

Alstom pressed forward again quickly, facing Chris Paul's defense.

Not just offense, even defense, Paul invaded all the energy.

Just at the moment when Alstom wanted to pass the ball on the right hand side to the right side.

But Jack suddenly lowered his waist, and then took a stride, his arm followed the footsteps like an arrow from his chest to the opposite direction of the basketball track in front of Alston...

Snapped!
Sure enough, the basketball was hit by the arm. This is Paul's experience after watching Alstom's videotape produced by AND1 company three times.

Watch the video One of the reasons why Paul has continued to improve to this day.Paul once said to Jack: No matter what he does, he will be ready in advance.He never does any kind of unsure thing.

Looking at Paul's posture, it is obvious that he is already familiar with Alstom's style of play.

After breaking the basketball, Paul did not slow down, and flashed past Alston in an instant.Then quickly catch up to the basketball, pat the ball and rush to the three-point line.

After Paul succeeded in stealing the ball, Jack rushed to the basket with all his strength.

This is an opportunity for a fast break, how could Jack let it go?

Shane Battier was also chasing after Jack, and suddenly formed a two-on-one frontcourt with Paul as the arrow.

"Squeak!!!" Still at the three-point line, Paul stopped abruptly, and Sean Battier, who was following him, quickly accelerated and circled in front of Paul.

Just when Sean Battier thought he was defending, Paul flicked the back of his wrist, and the basketball swished, flying past the two of them and headed towards the backboard with a strong wind.

boom!
A magical defensive pass hits the basketball in the center of the backboard and bounces back quickly.Just when Sean Battier came back to his senses and wanted to destroy it, a slender figure flew over his head...

boom!
The basketball was smashed into the basket like a god descending from the earth.

While the rim neighed, the entire center of New Orleans fell silent, everyone was stunned.

They haven't seen this kind of legendary pass in thousands of star career highlights, and yes, the magician can't do it either.

"Yeah..." The quiet New Orleans basketball stadium erupted in applause like waves hitting the shore in an instant.

The Hornets played an 8-2 spurt at the beginning of the game. The most important thing is that the Rockets were beaten at the point guard and had no power to parry.

drop!
At this point, Adelman called a timeout, he had to rearrange it.

All his overall plans for the game were disrupted by Paul.Before the game, he never thought that Paul, who had just returned from injury, would exert such destructive power.

I originally thought that Paul's comeback would take at least a few games with the Hornets before he could return to his previous level.The Rockets can take advantage of this gap and win this game.

However, things are not as simple as Adelman thought.

…………

"Chris Paul's pass just now is absolutely epic. Yes, Sean Battier was tricked, and I even think he is more embarrassed than Alstom." Kenny Smith, the commentator of ** said.

"All I can say is that Chris Paul likes to go slanted forward. He can stabilize the ball and hand it to Jack. It's too dangerous to risk a pass in a two-on-one situation. If I were Byron Scott, I'll replace him right away." Jeff Van Gundy, even as a commentator, is still as conservative as a coach.

"So, that's why you can only teach the inside and not the outside. If I were Byron Scott, I'd let him do whatever he wanted on the court. He's a A very creative player, if you restrain his imagination, I think he is no different from the Alstom after you trained him." Charles Barkley mercilessly satirized Jeff Van Gundy.

........................

Back on the bench, Byron Scott quickly came over to set up tactics, drew a few tactical lines pointing to Jack on the tactical board, and said: "They will definitely take care of Paul later, we have to... "

The timeout is over, and the game continues!
Seeing that the point guard was overwhelmed, they arranged tactics for McGrady.And Alston, who was blown out by Paul, was also replaced.Brooks was brought up.

The Rockets' leading scorer -- McGrady, who hasn't shot since the beginning of the game.The first shot came out from the inside.Received a pass from Brooks!Standing up from the ground is his signature dry shot.

boom!
Tracy McGrady, under Jack's defense, made a shot.McGrady's touch is not very good today.

Yao Ming overwhelmed Hilton to take off the rebound, and Paul, who happened to run to the basket, slashed his arm. Before Yao Ming was ready for a dunk, he snatched the basketball from his hand.

Then a long throw was thrown to Jack outside the three-point line. Jack took the basketball and went straight to the basket, ending Paul's steal at the basket with a split dunk.For Jack's speed, Artest can do nothing, he was not good at speed.

The classic cooperation of Jack and Paul also detonated the New Orleans Center Arena in an instant.

"Boom!!!" All of a sudden, the basketball court seemed to explode.

After Jack dunked, he pointed to Paul, indicating that he passed well!

Rockets attack!
Against Brooks, Paul still took a step, and at the same time kept muttering: "Allen, show your courage and shoot! I promise, you will make it, comeon!"

Learning from Jack, Paul's trash talking ability has also been significantly improved.

I don't know if it was provoked by Paul or what, I saw Brooks suddenly jump up under a feint, and when Paul rushed to defend, the basketball had already flown over his head...

Swish!
The basketball hit the net, and Brooks was booed immediately, and the boos immediately swallowed the basketball.

"As you wish." Brooks shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and ran back to the backcourt arrogantly.

After hearing this, Paul was not angry but happy. He smiled and shouted at the back of Brooks: "You are not like Michael at all, but like an orangutan. I will teach you later..."
