NBA: Art is trash talk

Chapter 361 It's not that easy

The game continued, the Hornets had the ball, and Paul advanced.

He's controlling the tempo.

Byron Scott didn't say how to play, so Paul could only follow his own understanding.

Since He Xinghui wants to make things happen and record points difference, he should control the rhythm and reduce the number of rounds.

This choice is a bit embarrassing, but now, Paul has no choice.

It's refreshing and refreshing to rush up and be tough, but the result must be very heart-wrenching.

After halftime, Paul was not in a hurry to attack.

Seeing this, Livingston leaned over to press, but Paul was not afraid, relying on his skillful dribbling, he was able to handle it with ease.

With four or five seconds left in the clock, Paul finally made a breakthrough by himself and made an emergency stop jump shot at the corner.

The ball goes in.

Scott nodded in satisfaction. Paul's operation not only consumed a lot of time, but also scored 2 points, which effectively defeated He Xinghui's attempt.

He Xinghui also had a headache at this time, he found that things didn't seem so easy.

The reason why they were able to record such an exaggerated point difference before was because the Hornets didn't care at first, but it was too late to stop them later.

It's a pity that after the last experience, the Hornets are now very alert.

Only in the second quarter, they began to give up the idea of ​​winning and began to concentrate on controlling the point difference.

If the Hornets do this throughout the game, He Xinghui will have to spend a lot of anger if he wants to win the opponent by 58 points, which is not worthwhile.

Ever since, He Xinghui was going to take another look at the situation.

In the next round, He Xinghui didn't use props, he just attracted the defense and then gave the ball to Gasol.

Gasol scored.

In the transition between offense and defense, Paul is still advancing slowly.

He Xinghui leaned over directly, and instead of pressing, he mocked: "Can you hurry up, is it interesting to be an old woman? Can you fight like a man."

This is very angry, but Paul is calm and not fooled.

He saw that David West had a good chance and passed the ball.

If you have a good chance to score points, you don't need to control the rhythm.Paul is not so rigid, his golf IQ is very high.

West received the pass and scored a layup before the Clippers could react.

Scoring two points is tantamount to consuming one of the Clippers' offensive rounds and earning blood.

"Cheer up and defend seriously. I want this game to destroy their confidence in one go, so we have to beat them and don't let them score any more points."

He Xinghui greeted the other people who got off the Clippers and told them to play seriously and not to be too casual.

Opportunities like those just now should not be given to West.

[You want to pretend, what are you talking about to defeat their confidence? 】

The rest of the Clippers couldn't help complaining, but they still listened to He Xinghui's words.

After all, it's also in their interest to make big news.

The Clippers attacked, and He Xinghui broke through Mason and continued to kill the Hornets inside.

West blocked He Xinghui's forward route, and He Xinghui was about to hit him for an offensive foul, but He Xinghui was able to make a difficult change of direction during this high-speed advance, and rushed past West.

Then he scored a layup.

This is his real strength, no plug-ins are used.

With his current strength, he can occasionally make some difficult moves.

64 to 32, the Clippers still lead by 32 points.

However, this is not good news for the Clippers.

Because 32 points are not enough, they have to continue to expand the point difference.

For the Hornets, being able to maintain this point difference until the end of the game is considered a success.

The victory of the game, they don't even think about it now.

The Hornets counterattacked, and the Clippers players all focused on defending their respective players seriously to prevent the Hornets from attacking.

Once the Clippers are serious about defending, it will be more difficult for the Hornets players to find good opportunities.

With the physical fitness of NBA players, as long as they are motivated enough and defend hard, the defense will not be bad.

Seeing that the crowd had no good chance, Paul came by himself.

He still has some advantages against Livingston in singles.Of course, the advantage is not great.

The two are singled out, and Paul can probably beat Livingston 10 to 7.

Paul started, and then He Xinghui rushed over suddenly, scaring Paul to quickly score the ball.

The ball was in the hands of Mason, and He Xinghui turned back.

This continuous acceleration action is very exhausting.

If he just wants to win the game, he doesn't have to.

Before Mason could start, the opportunity was gone again.

And he is not like Paul, who can calmly organize.

After the ball was in his hands, he directly launched a breakthrough.

Faced with He Xinghui's tenacious entanglement, Mason simply shot a long two-pointer, which is his weakness.

At this position, Mason's shooting percentage is only 27%, which is very low.

What's more, He Xinghui's defense is still in place now.

No miracle, the ball didn't go in.

In this round, the Clippers defended successfully.

The Clippers advanced, and the Hornets were on the verge of a formidable enemy, carefully watching the actions of the Clippers players.

They don't want to always be the background board of the record, so their defensive attitude has improved.

The Clippers ran two tactics and failed to get a good chance, so Livingston handed the ball to He Xinghui.

Difficult times, look at the stars.

He Xinghui dribbled the ball, looking for opportunities to break through.

When he started, Paul came over to double-team.

Paul's choice is very smart, because the Clippers' attack time is running out.

If He Xinghui divides the ball again, Paul is not afraid.

He Xinghui didn't throw the pot away when there were only two or three seconds left, but forcibly shot himself.

There is no way to score the ball.

The Hornets attacked, and Paul continued to control time.

"It may not be easy for the Clippers to break the record. The Hornets played very tenaciously."

Smith commented.

"No way, the Hornets have shamelessly given up the game. They have no intention of overtaking at all now, and all their actions are to avoid losing more. In this case, it is really difficult for the Clippers."

Barkley complained.

He couldn't appreciate Hornet's act of admitting cowardice.

Not only him, Star fans also disdain the turtle tactics of the Hornets.

"Trash Hornet, dare to fight like a man?"

"Don't even have the courage to resist? Such a team doesn't deserve to make the playoffs."

"Is it useful to fight back? I believe my cousin will definitely break the record. Let us wait and see."

Star fans were outraged, and Hornets fans were also very upset.

Intellectually, they knew Paul was doing the right thing.But from an emotional point of view, they hope that Paul can confront He Xinghui head-on, and finally smash He Xinghui's attempt, and it would be even better to overtake and win the game.

But now, in the face of star fans' ridicule, Hornets fans can't answer the words, they can only bear it.

On the court, under Paul's organization, Peja got a good shot by running, and then the basketball immediately went to Peja's hands.

Peja made a shot.

64 to 34, the Hornets are only 30 points behind.

"You still want to break the record with the Hornets? Dreaming."

Peja couldn't help venting.

He has been playing for so many years, and he has never seen such an arrogant person like He Xinghui, who deliberately pursues to humiliate his opponent.

He didn't play when he scored 72 last time, and this time he didn't allow He Xinghui to succeed.

"you"

"Don't worry, let him calm down for a while."

He Xinghui stopped Millsap who wanted to confront Peja, now is not a good time to pierce his heart.

Waiting for one's own team to score a goal and expand the lead, and then spray trash on Peja, the effect will be good.

The Clippers advanced, He Xinghui faced the defense, and called Millsap to come over and play tactics.

Millsap helped He Xinghui block, He Xinghui threw the ball to Millsap, and ran quickly without the ball, past Millsap.

Peja, who was chasing and defending, chose to chase, ignoring Millsap who had the ball in his hand.

However, his speed was still a bit slower.

He Xinghui caught the ball and made a shot.

He glanced at Peja without opening his mouth.

He is not in a hurry, and is going to play with Peja first.

In the transition from offense to defense, Paul controlled the ball and continued to press the rhythm.

Livingston stepped forward to press, but the effect was mediocre.

Subsequently, Paul also took the opportunity to break through.

Upon seeing this, Gasol hurried out of the paint to prevent Paul from making a mid-range shot.

Paul tosses the ball to the hoop, Chandler catches it for a layup, and Kaman pulls him down.

Chandler made two free throws and Kaman's foul was worth it.

The Clippers attacked and scored again.

The two teams came and went, and fought for a dozen more rounds.

The scene was a bit weird, the leading side was playing very aggressively, while the trailing side was taking it easy.

After the first half, the score was 78 to 40, and the Clippers led by 38 points.

The Hornets did pretty well in the second quarter, only allowing the Clippers to win by 10 points.

However, the Clippers can also accept this result. According to this efficiency, they can win another 20 points in the second half, which is just enough for 58.

During the intermission, the commentators and guests were discussing whether the Clippers could break the record for the largest point difference in the playoffs.

"The Clippers only scored 32 points in the second quarter. Obviously, the Hornets have found a way to limit the Clippers' rapid scoring. As long as they continue to maintain, it will be difficult for the Clippers to break the record."

"No, no, the Hornets played well in the second quarter, but they may not be able to maintain it in the second half. Cousin only needs to explode for a few minutes to defeat the Hornets."

"If the Clippers break the record again, then Chris Paul will be too miserable. I don't think my cousin needs to do this. The game has entered garbage time, and he should stay off the court."

"As long as the record is broken, there will definitely be a background board. There is nothing to be sympathetic about. Cousin is the main force. There is no reason for the main force to only play half a game. I support him in breaking this record."

These people's words are not casual, but rhythmic.

After listening to their remarks, the audience also started various arguments, and they paid more attention to this game.

In the Clippers locker room, the Clippers players were imagining the expressions of the Hornets players after the game, and some were wondering if the Hornets players would lose control of their emotions. The atmosphere was very cheerful.

In the visiting team's locker room, the Hornets' players all pulled their faces.

It's really embarrassing to be bullied by opponents like this, and they themselves are too embarrassed to bring up this topic.

Ever since, they could only keep silent.

　That's it for today.
