NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 338 Continue
No one expected that the Lakers, known as the Big Four, would play like this. Media experts from all walks of life were constantly analyzing the reasons, and Presti knew that this season could be said to be a disaster for the Lakers. He remembered that it was this season that Kobe ruptured his Achilles tendon in order to bring the Lakers into the playoffs, and paid too much chips to get Howard and Nash, resulting in the Lakers not getting up for a long time!
On the other side, the favorites to win the Heat played well and also won three consecutive victories, while the Thunder also won two consecutive victories after losing to the Hornets!

The Hornets' fourth game is against the Spurs, who are also favorites to win the championship!In the end, they defeated the Spurs 106 to 89!

Presti is still using that lineup, and so are the Spurs,
The Spurs' lineup this season is basically the same as in the previous life, both offense and defense are excellent. In the previous life, they used this lineup to win the NBA championship in the 2013 season! .The Spurs' substitutes are still led by Ginobili. Ginobili maximized the role of substitutes Gary Neal and Stephen Jackson. The Spurs' substitutes can abuse the substitutes of most teams, but they are not as good as the Hornets!

In addition, Presti knows how to deal with the Spurs!This match is won!

Davis leaped high and passed the ball to Paul George. The first attack belonged to the Hornets!
Paul George handed the ball to Curry, and Curry advanced with the ball!
At the top of the arc, Green defends Curry!

Green in the library called a cover and went straight to the left!
Easy walk over Hill to restricted area!
Duncan helps defend!

Green on the right!Pass inside!
Take the ball and hit the dunk with one arm! 2:0
Parker took the ball and accelerated to the frontcourt. Thompson led the defense and followed Parker!

Parker suddenly turned his head, Thompson thought he was going to pass the ball, subconsciously threw his right hand over,

Ginobili seized this opportunity and broke through!

Facing Davis under the basket, go to the right for a layup!
Green came quickly to help defend! !

Parker still made a layup!

Snapped!The racket went out!
"Crack! Crack!" Presti couldn't help standing up and applauding. Green's defense speed is really top-notch!

The ball was served to Duncan, and it was time to hit it one by one.
Green stands up to Duncan!Duncan's strength is beyond doubt!Hit it, turn around and hit the board!Hit!
Curry quickly took the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Davis!Davis hit Duncan in the low post!
Hit back!Top it, it's a bit difficult!Davis first year after all!Ship it out!Cast in the face frame!Miss!

However, Green grabbed a rebound!Give it to Thompson on the outside, and directly throw a three-pointer! !middle! !

Here, Parker once again relied on experience to pass Thompson, but the basket is full of people, mid-range!Finally in!
Here Paul George took the ball to face Leonard, shaking it in disguise continuously, and made a pull!Go in!

"This shot is not bad!" In fact, Presti was a little worried about Paul George. After all, Paul George suffered a lot when facing Leonard!

Beep, Spurs timeout!

At this time, the commentator couldn't help but said: "The Hornets are in great shape recently! Especially the outside shooting rate, the Spurs must open the outside to have a chance, otherwise the Hornets will shrink even more!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect the Hornets to be so threatening!" Another commentator nodded in agreement.

The game continued, and many neutral fans in front of the TV felt that the Spurs would improve after the timeout, but the result was still the same!
Curry hit the Spurs' defense over and over again with the help of screens. The Spurs' defense was fine, but Curry's throwing shots at the basket were too accurate!
I actually used online double-teaming when I bought it!As a result, the ball was passed to the outside space again, which was even more deadly!
As for the Spurs, Parker has Thompson who is leading the defense all over the court, let alone Thompson. The key is to shrink the defense as soon as the Thunder breaks through, which is to let you shoot from the outside!But the Spurs just dare not enter from the outside!
Presti couldn't help laughing as he watched the Spurs hit the outside again and again. He remembered that Popovich said in his previous life that he hated three-pointers!It's really annoying! ,

迪奥2中0，加里尼尔2中0，伦纳德2中0，最准的格林5中3！马刺全场三分命中率不足百分之28！

When the substitute came up, the Spurs were defeated directly!The Spurs' bench is not too far behind the Hornets!David West's status offensively can't prevent the Spurs directly, plus Ray Allen's catch and shoot, Jimmy Butler's defense, and Whiteside's rebound control, the Spurs are directly defeated!
In the fifth game, the Hornets played against the Cavaliers!This season, the Cavaliers have Kyrie Irving, TT, and West, desperately trying to hit the playoffs!But Presti knew how weak the Cavaliers were at this time.

Davis jumped the ball to win, Curry took it to the frontcourt, George stood outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, Davis quickly occupied the basket, and Green also stood in the penalty area, Curry went to the top of the arc, Green covered!

Taking the cover and walking in, Green disassembled and moved sideways a step!
Green and his teammates switched defenses and chased Paul Curry and passed the ball to Green!
dislocation!Ignore the defender's defense!Immediately shot but missed!

"Green's handwork is really rough now," Presti complained, and Davis grabbed the rebound!Direct low singles!Turn around and wipe off TT for a layup!

The Cavaliers attacked, guard Irving took the front to face Curry, suddenly accelerated, and wanted to break into the penalty area!

But Curry perfectly blocked the breakthrough route and couldn't get through it at all, but this was Irving's slapstick operation!Layup!But Green came to help defend, and a slap went dark!Pass it on to Curry now!
Curry sprints after getting the ball!No one in front, to the basket!Easy layup!
Irving took the ball to the top of the arc and went to the weak side, calling a screen to go in!

Green double-teams decisively!Cavaliers shoot badly, let them shoot!

The ball is passed to West!Empty seat!After looking at it for a while, I voted!Finally hit! "West's father who will be strong in his life" Presti suddenly remembered such a sentence when he saw West
Although Waiters hit this mid-range shot, the Hornets will not change their defensive strategy. Waiters' mid-range shot can't kill anyone.

The Hornets attacked Curry and Paul George in the middle with a pick-and-roll to the right, attracting Thompson to switch defenses and pass back to the middle.

George took a second, ignored the interference of the guard, and made a high mid-range shot.

This season, Paul George's condition is getting better and better, and he is no longer the former ghostly George!
George has an excellent show, positive attitude, excellent defense, good shooting, can play off the ball, and can also attack with the ball. One of the best small forwards, he has both defense and defense!
The Cavaliers attacked, Owenke wanted to single out, Davis retreated, forming a double-team under the basket, and Davis scored the ball to the middle. TT scored mainly by attacking at the basket. The shooting range was too short, and he didn't dare to shoot when he was open. It was passed to West, who responded, and the latter missed a jumper under Thompson's interference.

Presti knows Waiters. Waiters looks very accurate, but he is usually very poor. Especially at this time, Davis is fast, relying on his movement speed and excellent blocking ability to assist defense to control the penalty area.

Davis has shooting and defense. One stop in the penalty area is a threat

Curry and Green picked and rolled from outside the three-point line, took two steps to the right to attract the defense to pass back, Green received the ball, faced Irving without pressure, protected the ball, observed his teammates' running positions,

George easily got rid of Ja Alonzo, came out and borrowed Curry to pass the ball, no one interfered in front of him, and hit a three-pointer.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Irving sprinted with all his strength after getting the ball, but Curry followed closely, unable to get rid of it, and immediately scored Ann Alonzo on the right.

I voted directly and missed!
The ball was picked up by Paul George.

The Hornets' positional battle, perhaps because they were too excited to play, Paul George didn't pass the ball to Curry, accelerated the frontcourt, and faced Thompson, consecutive crossovers!Start suddenly!
Take a step and directly stop and shoot in the middle!hit again

In just a few minutes of the opening, the Hornets had established a 9-point lead.

After Irving took the ball to the frontcourt, he handed it to Waiters.
Waiters and TT picked and rolled, misplaced Davis and scored a layup.

Paul took the ball to the middle, looked at the running teammates, and looked for opportunities!

Paul George threw it to the defender again, caught the ball and shot!Miss this time,
But it was replaced by Whiteside who grabbed the second and got the rebound to score outside Thompson!Still empty!shot!still miss

In fact, Paul George and Thompson's early long-range shots were not very good, and it took a few seasons to stabilize.

TT got the rebound and gave it to Irving, and Irving dribbled to the frontcourt,

After Irving passed Paul George with the help of a screen, he flashed out to make a mid-range shot!Whiteside rushed over immediately!

Bang when Irving's mid-range shot missed under the interference of Whiteside!Whiteside took the rebound and handed it to Curry, and Curry pushed it to the frontcourt,
This time Curry and Whiteside pick and roll!Paul goes in, Whiteside goes down!The ball is thrown!Whiteside made a dunk when he caught the ball!
Seeing the point gap getting bigger and bigger, the Cavaliers players have lost their fighting spirit in their eyes.

In the end, the Hornets beat the Cavaliers 119:99!The next opponent is the Bucks!
The most powerful point of the Bucks is Mengta Ellis. Once Ellis is restricted, the Bucks will be greatly restricted by others.

So during the game the next day, Presti called Paul George to his side,
"George, Green, Thompson, you take turns defending Ellis." Presti looked at Paul George seriously.

Paul George nodded heavily.

Soon the game started, the script went exactly according to Presti's setting, Paul George kept sticking to Ellis,
As Presti thought, the Hornets allowed Ellison to only make 6 of 2 shots in the first half, scored a poor 5 points and 5 rebounds, and made as many as 4 turnovers, and the downturn of the Hawks allowed the Bucks to only score 33 points in the half, 20 points behind the Hornets.

Paul George and Thompson have been following Ellis all the time, preventing Ellis from receiving the ball, and when Ellis holds the ball, try to stick it up to prevent him from shooting, forcing him to break through, because there is a hot pot from Davis waiting inside.

In the second half, Ellis used two screens on 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 shake it off, sticking to Ellis tightly like a dog's skin plaster.At 8 minutes into the third quarter, Ellis 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. Ellis was forced to throw the ball as high as possible.And from this ball, we can see how difficult it is for Ellis 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 Bucks had fallen behind by as much as 31 points, and there was no suspense about the outcome. In the whole game, Ellis only made 11 of 4 shots, scored 10 points, 7 rebounds and 5 turnovers. He was completely frozen by Paul George.

From the analysis of the position matchup before the game, Ellis 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 Ellis.
But in the end the Hornets won!The Hornets have won 5 consecutive victories, and the next opponent will be against the Tank Suns!

At the beginning, Gortat took advantage of Dragic's opportunity to attract defense at the basket, and easily dunked successfully!And Anthony Davis responded with a one-arm dunk since he broke through with the ball and strode in! !
Dudley scored a three-pointer from the outside, but the Hornets quickly responded. Davis received a pass from the bottom corner and had a three-pointer. Then he grabbed an offensive rebound from the crowd at the basket and made a second attack. ,

Of course, although this year’s Suns were weak, they were brilliant before. Gortat was not to be outdone. Tecuri succeeded in the low-post singles and caused a foul.

Presti made some adjustments during the halftime break. In fact, playing with this young team just can't make them play with confidence!
At the beginning of the second half, Paul George seized the opportunity to score two goals in a row and once again opened the score to double digits. Dragic stood up and kept hitting the Hornets' penalty area with the ball and causing damage. , the Suns will work together to narrow the score to less than ten, but Curry made a three-pointer at the buzzer and once again reached double digits

At the start of the last quarter, Anthony Davis hit one after another, and then the Hornets, who were leading by a large score, seemed a little slack. The Suns seized the opportunity and Dragic led the team to an 8-0 spurt. At the end of the game, the Hornets beat the Suns 117:97 away!
