Chapter 148 Blast!

After the game, a large number of reporters surrounded Paul and Presti. The reporter was the first to ask: "Paul, before today's game, in the 14 games you played against Deron Williams, Deron's 16.7 points + 3.1 rebounds + 8.4 assists and 53% shooting rate data completely suppressed your 15.4 points + 3.4 rebounds + 9 assists 43.8% data, and Deron Williams also won 12 of the games!
But today, not only won the game, but also with 25 points, 9 assists and 55.6% data, completely surrounded Deron's 15 points, 7 assists and 23.5% shooting rate. What adjustments did you make? "

Paul froze, scratched his head, and said, "Just listen to the coach's arrangement and strictly implement the tactics assigned by the coach." To be honest, he didn't think much about it. Anyway, he would do whatever Presti asked him to do. He was [-]% assured of Presti's ability!

The reporter immediately turned around and asked, "Presti, what adjustments did you make?"

"It is to tell Paul to relax. As long as he relaxes and calms down, he can bring out the maximum potential of every player on the team. This is why Paul is different from other point guards. He can always make his teammates better." Presti said seriously. In future interviews, Presti will never forget to praise Paul!
"You know Paul has lost 15 out of 12 games. I don't think it's just a matter of mentality. Many people think this time is just an accident. Paul is still difficult to compete with Deron Williams. What do you think?" the reporter asked.

"Haha, I remember that in a few days, we will have another match against the Jazz, and it will be at their home court. I can tell you right now, go buy a lottery, put all your belongings on the Hornets, and you will become a millionaire." Presti said confidently.

Presti must be so confident. He wants to adjust Paul's transaction value to the highest value. Knowing the reason why Paul is deflated, and then arranging tactics based on it, the problem will be much simpler.

The reason why Paul has been deflated when he meets Deron is:

First, Deron is 191cm tall and weighs 91kg, while Paul is 183cm tall and weighs 78kg. Deron completely suppresses Paul in terms of height and weight. At this time, Deron is very fast. When Paul is attacking, Deron's speed can keep up. Coupled with the advantages of weight and height, it is difficult for Paul to attack.

On the other hand, when Deron was attacking, he changed direction in front of his body and shot suddenly. The difference in height and weight made it difficult for Paul to defend.Deron can also play Paul with his back. Paul can rely on speed to suppress other defenders on the defensive end, but there is nothing he can do about Deron.

Second, the system created by Coach Sloan allows Boozer, Millsap and others to open up space for pick-and-roll screens, allowing Deron to have a huge space to play, he can step back and jump shot, he can combine throws with sudden shots, and even use his hands to conduct.

When Paul was in the Hornets, he relied on his personal strong attack to drive the team's offense. Paul faced a much more difficult offensive environment than Deron.

The reason why he won today is that Banks, who is heavier and faster than Deron, consumes Deron, and Whiteside's inside defense makes Deron so uncomfortable. Of course, Okafor suppressed the offensive Millsap, which is also the top priority.

At the same time, on the offensive end, constant pick-and-rolls allowed Paul to play big, and at the same time use breakthroughs, screens, and conduct the ball to find open opportunities!
It can be said that the above conditions are indispensable. The reason why Presti is so confident is because he has every player he needs to deal with the Jazz.

The Hornets will next have a wave of away games in the East, against the Atlanta Hawks, Toronto Raptors, and back-to-back Orlando Magic.Among them, what Presti cares about the most is the Orlando Magic. Howard at this time is really a monster!Whiteside is tough to contend with.

The Hornets went to Atlanta the day before the game to adapt to the venue. At this time, the Hawks are strong after all, so they should not be underestimated.

The most powerful point of the Eagles is Joe Johnson. Once Johnson is restricted, the Eagles will also be greatly restricted by others.

So during the game the next day, Presti called Paul George to his side,
"George, you only have one task in this game is to defend Joe Johnson." Presti looked at Paul George seriously.

Paul George nodded heavily.

Soon the game started, and the script went exactly as Presti set it. Paul George kept sticking to Eagle King Johnson,
As Presti thought, the Hornets allowed Joe Johnson to only make 6 of 2 shots in the first half, scoring a poor 5 points and 5 rebounds, and there were as many as 4 turnovers.

Paul George has always followed the Eagles like a shadow, preventing Joe Johnson from receiving the ball, and when the Eagles Joe Johnson held the ball, he tried to stick it up to prevent him from shooting, and forced him to break through, because Whiteside's hot pot was waiting inside.

In the second half, Joe Johnson used the two screens of the upper line and the bottom line shortly after the opening, and pulled the ball near the free throw line to catch the ball, but Paul George still didn't get rid of it, sticking to the Eagle King like a dog's skin plaster, Joe Johnson had no choice but to hit a jumper in front of him.At 8 minutes into the third quarter, Joe Johnson finally scored the third goal of the game. He accelerated in the middle and broke through Paul George's defense, then went straight to the inside and faced Whiteside's block.And from this ball, we can see how difficult it is for Joe Johnson to score a goal. Facing Presti's targeted defense, he not only has to throw off a piece of dog skin plaster, but also avoids Whiteside's block to score a goal.

At the end of the three quarters, the Eagles had fallen behind by as much as 31 points, and there was no suspense about the outcome. In the whole game, Joe Johnson only made 11 of 4 shots, scored 10 points, 7 rebounds and 5 turnovers. He was completely frozen by Paul George.

Judging from the analysis of the position matchups before the game, Joe Johnson is the only point that has a clear advantage when facing the Hornets, because at this time, although Paul George occasionally performed well, he was far behind the already famous Eagle King Johnson.

But it turned out.The Hornets' seemingly weakest point actually beat the Eagles' strongest point!The Eagle King of the audience has been restricted by Paul's single defense, unable to attract help defenses to create opportunities for teammates!
In the end, the Hornets beat the Atlanta Hawks 117:87!

The Hornets won the second game after Paul paid! , once again attracted the attention of the entire league!
