"Let go! Let go! Let go!..." The Hornets fans at the scene, even if it was during the Hornets' halftime break.However, their cheers and shouts remained the same.Even though it was deep in the locker room, they still felt the enthusiasm of the Hornets fans.

The second half of the game kicked off amid the cheers of the fans. In the second half of the game, Jack followed Byron Scott's instructions and used his strong personal attack ability to constantly bombard the Golden State Warriors' penalty area.

Among the Golden State Warriors, Barnes and Richardson lined up to defend Jack.

According to the coach's instructions, the two of them have deliberately marked Jack since the second half of the game. They followed closely like a shadow, squeezing Jack's movement space all the time.

As soon as Jack came on the court, he used a gorgeous back turn under the basket to completely throw off the defensive Barnes, and dunked with both hands under the basket.

First for the Hornets took the lead.

However, Davis then made a mid-range emergency stop shot after breaking through Paul.After the basketball drew an arc in the air, it smashed into the basket.

The second half of the game started, the rhythm of offense and defense between the two sides was very fast, and the cheers and applause of the Hornets never stopped.The rhythm of both sides is very fast. As the game time is continuously consumed, the scores of both sides are constantly being improved.

The time was fixed at 6 minutes and 45 seconds, the score between the two sides was fixed at 78 to 76, and the Hornets fell behind by two points.

After Davis broke through, the basketball came to the hands of Jackson in the bottom corner. Jackson missed the open three-pointer!

Tyson Chandler controls the rebound!

Paul dribbled the ball across the half court, and when Davis was still at a safe distance, he directly raised his hand and lobbed the ball to the inside without even moving his feet.

Turning his back and catching the ball, although Barnes' arm was behind Jack's back, it didn't have much impact on Jack's stability of holding the ball. Squeeze back, pressing your entire back against Barnes' arms.

Feint?Although Barnes could feel that the force on his arm was much greater than in the previous confrontations, he only tightened his body vigilantly, trying his best to bear the force of squeezing inward.

Stuck in the position, this is the maximum limit that the defensive side can do. Barnes's feet try to occupy a position behind Jack that can turn around at any time. In this way, even if Jack chooses to play singles, he can also do it in the shortest time. respond.

To the right, when Jack and Barnes fight their strength.Suddenly, stepping to the right, pushing his entire back along the side of the opponent's arm, he began to move his entire body toward the baseline, as if he was looking for an opening on Duncan's right side.

Barnes moved his steps laterally, expanding the defensive area of ​​his entire body as much as possible, so as to prevent Jack from using his footsteps to directly wipe past him.

At the moment when Barnes had already made the fastest reaction, he heard the harshest rubbing sound between the soles of the shoes and the floor. Jack had completely turned to the bottom line on the right side, and was completing the spinning posture in front of him, facing Complete the turn on the other side.

In fact, Jack's left foot never moved a step, and even when his whole body fell to the right, his foot never left the spot.

The moment Jack made a move, Barnes used the inertia of his entire body to turn around, and quickly completed the turn again with his left foot as the axis.

Jack's body quickly exerted strength, and Barnes was blocked all at once, and Barnes could only look at the ball and sigh in amazement in the face of Jack's strength.After completing his turn, Jack used his left arm to push Barnes's body behind his back. He even compressed the space for his opponent to take off under the backboard. His stretched right hand ruthlessly grabbed the basketball from the basket Smash it directly on the basket.

In the fierce attack, Jack didn't show much excitement because of the success of this attack. He just called his teammates to quickly return to defense. This was just a signal for them to start counterattacking.

From the second half of the game, Jack began to strengthen his active offense~
"Oh, God bless, we have Jack, the victory must belong to us." A female fan may believe in God, and he has already started praying.

"Yes, we have Jack, and Jack represents victory." A middle-aged man next to him took the opportunity to strike up a conversation, but his tone was extremely sincere, which showed his devotion to Jack.

The Golden State Warriors didn't seize the opportunity to attack. Davis shot face-to-face and didn't make it!
Jack holds the rebound!

Hornets possession of the ball!

Jack got stuck inside and reached out for the ball. Since the second half of the game, Jack began to frequently ask for a position inside for singles.

Jack wanted the ball to attack in the low post, and the other players of the Hornets were very wide open. As a result, the players of the Golden State Warriors did not dare to double-team Jack.

The Hornets squeezed a large group of shooters on the outside, whether it is Chris Paul, Peja Stockovic or Russell Butler, they all have the ability to shoot three-pointers.

If the Golden State Warriors choose to double-team, the consequences can be imagined.

Paul's pass passed through Davis' defense line and hit the ground directly into the interior. Jack also gave up the entanglement with Barnes on the interior at the moment he received the ball, and he voluntarily left the three-second zone. .

At the bottom line, Jack deliberately moved his position near the bottom line when he asked for the ball, and did not let Barnes' footsteps follow the defense to stop his attempt to turn around.

Facing the basket, Jack lowered his body as much as possible, with two long arms hanging down, and the orange basketball hovered between his hands, but Barnes' eyes were always fixed on Jack in front of him. Looking for an opportunity to break through.

I have watched Jack Barnes attack countless times, of course I know how terrifying a Jack hovering near the bottom line is.

Barnes bent his body as hard as he could now, his right hand kept interfering with Jack's line of sight, and Jack also began to stabilize his center of gravity at one point, never allowing his body to swing in any way.

There was a momentary stalemate between the two, but no one came to disturb such a duel.

Barnes seemed to have emptied everything out of his mind, and all his energy was concentrated on Jack.

The stride, the explosive power after the stalemate, always comes extremely fast, the power that Jack exploded at the moment of starting, so that Jack can only try his best to retreat his steps to stop him.

Pushing, the friction sound between the soles of Jack's feet and the floor was extremely ear-piercing. He quickly adjusted the direction of his breakthrough at the moment Barnes' center of gravity moved backward, and forcibly turned his body around. Break through and cut in directly from the weak side of Barnes' defense.

Having lost the advantage of starting the first step, Barnes could only turn his body around as much as possible, and use his strong chest to directly block Jack's breakthrough route.

The fierce collision, the direct dialogue between the two big men near the bottom line was carried out in the most violent way.

After the impact, the suffocation in Barnes' chest did not completely disappear, and he had already endured the second wave of attack created by Jack's shoulder.

Holding on, Barnes' entire left body hit Jack head-on, and the strong force bursting out of Jack's body directly sealed Jack near the bottom line.

People often know how strong they are when they are pushed to a desperate situation.

Jack, who was cornered, bent his knees, kicked off the ground, his body flew up from the floor, his wrist trembled slightly, and the basketball rolled to be able to draw out with the tip of Jack's index finger.

After the basketball thrown by Jack drew an arc in the air, it smashed into the basket.

With a sound of "rinse", the basketball stirred up a layer of gorgeous waves on the basket.

After Jack made a desperate basketball shot, the Hornets led by 4 points.

In the third quarter score, Jack completely broke out the energy he should have.

Mid-range shots, shots after catching the ball, shots from an emergency stop, one-handed dunks after a breakthrough... and so on, all offensive methods were used once.

35:18, this is the score of the third quarter.

In the entire third quarter, Jack scored 12 points on 11 of 24 shots.

No one in the Golden State Warriors could stop Jack's attacking pace, especially he succeeded in consecutive singles in front of Barnes, and almost every attack was impeccable.

After the third quarter, the score between them came to 90 to 73.

After falling behind by 17 points in three quarters, the fourth quarter could have been called garbage time.However, the Golden State Bandits have not given up on this game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Golden State Warriors strengthened Jack, who performed against the sky in the third quarter, and resolutely implemented double-team defense tactics.

Double-teaming Jack on the inside gave the Hornets a chance on the perimeter.

The Golden State Warriors also paid dearly for their double-teams.

As soon as Jack encountered double-team defense, Jack immediately distributed the basketball in his hand, and the basketball came to the hands of Peja Stockovich who was in the open position.

Peja Stockovic made a three-pointer, and with a bang, the basketball slammed into the basket.

……

Another double team!

This time it is Paul who benefits. Although Paul rarely shoots three-pointers during the game, this does not mean that he is not ready for three-pointers.Paul made an open three-pointer.

……

Still double-teaming Jack, the Golden State Warriors are indeed resolute enough for Jack's double-team defense.

This time the beneficiary is Russell Butler.

…………

At this time, there was a three-point rain on the Hornets' arena, and this rain was directly wiped out. The Golden State Warriors wanted to steal the game at the Hornets' home court.

It was a crazy night. Every member of the Hornets tried their best to blast out their energy, leading more than 2 fans in the audience to shout crazily. Almost everyone ran to themselves after the attack was successful. Defend at half court.

Every guy in the Hornets bared their teeth and claws to force their defenders to make fatal mistakes, leading the shouts of the audience as their footsteps kept moving, and the atmosphere has reached a peak.

The players were going crazy, the fans were responding like crazy, even the host was shouting for such a game, everything was completely out of control, it seemed that even the air in the center of New Orleans was burning.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, all the main players of the Golden State Warriors returned to their benches. The 30-point difference made him lose the courage to continue fighting.

Davis covered his head with a towel so no one could see his expression clearly.In this game, Davis had no outstanding performance except for his 16 points.

The overall defeat, what people didn't expect was that the Golden State Warriors played by the Hornets didn't even have a chance to fight back.

Byron Scott, coach of the Hornets on the sidelines, waved his fist vigorously after every attack of the Hornets. By the end of the game, he could clearly feel that his arm was about to lose consciousness. up.

"Jack! Jack! Jack! ... ... Jack! Jack! Jack! ... ... Jack! Jack! Jack! ... ... Jack! Jack! Jack! ... ... Jack! Jack! Jack!" fans Shouting with forgetfulness.

125:96, this is the final outcome. No one could have imagined that the Hornets would win the game like this, even Jack was surprised.
