Chapter 145 The End Is the Beginning

"Aww! Aww! Aww!" The New Orleans Arena was finally boiling. Since "Linsanity", it was the first time they played so aggrieved!Now I finally saw the long-lost attack!

And Barkley seemed to see the new students, and immediately shouted: "The Hornets are about to come back!"

"Presti's tactics are really unimaginable, and he dares to play in the three-back lineup at this time!" David Wesley nodded.

But Presti off the court knew that the Celtics were only fooled for a moment just now, and when he recovered, the Hornets' lineup was a disaster!
Pause ends, game continues!
Rondo held the ball to the top of the arc and passed Jeremy Lin without calling a screen!
To go straight to the basket!

The score is still 5 points away!
Everything seems to be going in a good direction!

In a few minutes, the fourth quarter begins!
After Jeremy Lin held the ball to the top of the arc, George stepped forward to cover!

Jeremy Lin used cover to kill inside!

Vote again!

Iron!

Still a long rebound!

Jeremy Lin got it!
Three points to continue!

iron!iron!iron!
Seeing this, Presti already knew that the overall situation of the game had been decided!

The outside feel is so bad, the Celtics will shrink their formation next time!
And Jeremy Lin, the only Hornet who can tear apart the defense, can't get in, let alone the others.

The advantage of this lineup is that it is fast, flexible, and able to open up space!

But now the most important thing is to open up space, and the outside feel is poor, so how to score.

Garnett of the Celtics, Pierce's singles are all misplaced!

Can't defend at all!

Sure enough, in the rest of the game, the Hornets repeatedly missed outside shots, and the Celtics shrank their formation!

If you can't make a shot, you can't break through!

But the Celtics fell, and Pierce hit Belinelli in a misplaced position!Garnett misplaced Paul George!

The gap keeps widening!

"Hey, the Hornets lost," Barkley said first.

David Wesley nodded: "Indeed, it seems that Jeremy Lin still can't replace Paul. If Paul was in this game, the Hornets would not be in such an embarrassing situation."

The final whistle sounded, and the Hornets lost to the Celtics at home 102:115, and the winning streak ended!
The Hornets' winning streak is big news, and Jeremy Lin's outstanding performance is big news, but what is more topical than them is the end of the Hornets' winning streak and Jeremy Lin's downturn!

So, game one is over!

The media at the scene ran like crazy and surrounded Presti and the Hornets players!

"Presti, what is the reason for the failure tonight?" A female reporter asked first.

"The reason for the failure is that the opponent scored more points than us," Presti said with a shrug.

"Pfft!" The other reporters laughed unkindly. The female reporter who asked the question was a little confused. She had heard that Presti would often answer out of tune, but she didn't expect to meet her!

Then Presti said, "Let's talk about the press conference," before leaving the court.

Seeing the coach like this, other players followed Presti closely and left.

Half an hour later, when Presti appeared at the press conference, it was already full of reporters!There are more reporters than the Hornets' winning streak and Jeremy Lin's triple-double!

"It seems that losing is more attractive." Presti smiled inwardly.

"Jeremy Lin, what is the reason for your downturn today? Is it what some experts said before, with your body and technology, once the opponent consciously targets it, it will be like today?" The reporter immediately asked after seeing Jeremy Lin sitting down.

Obviously Jeremy Lin encountered this kind of problem for the first time, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Presti directly took the microphone and asked: "Is Kobe good, is James good? Is O'Neal good?"

"Amazing!" The reporter was taken aback, and immediately replied.

"Are they superstars?" Presti asked again.

"Sure," the reporter nodded.

"Then when they all played in a slump, isn't it normal for Jeremy Lin to be in a slump?" Presti said with a smile.

The reporter was speechless for a moment.

There is no doubt that the news that the Hornets lost to the Celtics the next day once again occupied the pages of major newspapers!
Veteran players who have always looked down on Jeremy Lin before finally have the opportunity to jump out!
"Jeremy Lin's physical and technical downturn is inevitable, and I believe that after yesterday's game, other teams in the league have known his shortcomings, and the Hornets may suffer a losing streak!"

"Some people said before that Jeremy Lin can replace Paul. This is ridiculous. Paul will never make the low-level mistakes of Jeremy Lin yesterday! He will put every teammate in a comfortable position.

As for Jeremy Lin last night, after being restricted, he completely lost contact with his teammates!As a starting point guard, he only contributed 4 assists but had 6 turnovers! "

When Presti looked at the last speech, he actually laughed happily!

Immediately called Warshen and told him to publish an article, the content is: compare Paul's offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency when he is on the court with Jeremy Lin when he is on the court, and the number of times his teammates are open when he is on the court.

Putting down the phone, Presti silently thanked those "experts" who criticized Jeremy Lin and praised Paul. They had been thinking about the team's tactics before, but they forgot about Paul's trade. In this way, the value of Paul's trade will increase a lot this summer.

Then for the next game, just let it be, there is no need to work hard to win the game. Of course, Presti also knows that after knowing Jeremy Lin's weaknesses, even if he racks his brains, he can only win the weak team with difficulty.

Not surprisingly, there will be a wave of losing streaks, and at that time, when Paul appears on the court, the team will have another wave of crazy winning streaks!

Needless to say at that time, Paul fully reflected the value of a team!
