He just played basketball and became the chosen one. - Chapter 161
c161 : Not only do we need those 50 points, but we also need to guard against Paul Yan.
Young people like Paul who have just achieved success in their careers are the easiest to drift off.
Having just achieved a little bit, I thought I was already invincible.
Then it will start to expand.
However, the Hornets have made so much progress this season that it’s hard not to be inflated.
Last season, the Hornets were just an unknown lottery team.
The average attendance is less than 50%.
Even if you buy a jersey and get a ticket, even if the cheapest seat is less than $10, the stadium is basically full.
But this season, every game of the Hornets is almost full!
There is no other reason. No one watches competitive sports to watch their team lose, just like no one watches art movies to watch the heroine and the hero fall in love.
When a team starts winning, the attendance will naturally not be too low!
This year, the Hornets got off to a 9-2 start, which made Hornets fans feel: “We are really a damn strong team!”
Therefore, people who buy tickets to watch the game have crossed the threshold.
The key is that the Hornets did not make any big deals this summer, nor did they make any blockbuster signings.
The four core members of the team, Paul, Peja, West and the boxing champion, are all already on the team.
Their brilliant record this season all comes from the improvement of the players’ own strength.
Especially Paul’s improvement is the most obvious!
In just 11 games this season, Chris Paul told the world that if there really is a perfect point guard on the basketball court, he must be New Orleans’ No. 3!
Even those dazzling seniors can hardly hold up the title of “perfect point guard”.
Magic’s shooting before 1989 was extremely poor, and he was far more interested in a plump butt than defense.
Although Nash’s shooting is accurate, defense requires attitude and attitude, and results and attitude are required.
Stockton’s defense is excellent, but its scoring ability is slightly lacking.
Brother Kidd also defends well, but his scoring ability is simply disabled.
Assassin and Payton seem to have no shortcomings at first glance, but their organizational abilities are a bit limited compared to the previous ones.
Therefore, none of these great players at the No. 1 position can be called perfect.
So, is there such a point guard in the world who is so balanced that he has almost no shortcomings?
Of course, he is.
The yellow chocolate Jay Chou who thinks he is the most handsome player in history!
However, Jay Chou belongs to the slam dunk category. In a low-level league like the NBA, Chris Paul, as a point guard, has almost no obvious shortcomings.
What kind of point guard you want is what Paul will give you this season!
Shooting? A solid mid-range shot and an accurate three-pointer.
Defense? One of the best defensive point guards in history.
organize? With him as the only reliable ball-handling spot, the Hornets rank among the top three in the league in offensive efficiency.
Even in terms of small moves, Paul does not lose to Stockton!
Moreover, the Hornets are a team that likes to play positional battles. They don’t rely on the Suns’ lightning fast break, but they can still achieve high efficiency in positional offense.
This shows how perfectly Paul organized the team’s offense.
For a time, the title “God of Point Guards” was even attached to Paul this season.
Many media are promoting that the future of the West will be the era of Ryan and Paul!
It is precisely because Paul has shown extremely strong strength this season that when he said in front of reporters that the Nuggets’ defense was nothing at all.
Many people really believe that Paul has the ability to completely smash the Nuggets’ terrible defense!
On the day the game started, the Hornets’ royal commentator Bill McDonald also told everyone a short story when Paul entered the court:
“Charles Paul carefully built a makeshift basketball court in the spacious basement of his home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
He drew clear lines with red tape and used two plastic shopping baskets as hoops.
The two baskets are not the same height, with the eldest son CJ’s basket being higher off the ground than the youngest son Chris’s basket.
One day, 5-year-old CJ dunked his brother once on the court. 3-year-old Chris tried his best to block the shot, but failed completely and fell heavily to the ground.
But he didn’t cry. Instead, he immediately stood up and punched his brother in the face. He refused.
That little fire of fighting spirit has been burning until now, getting stronger and stronger!
I think this is everything you need to know about Chris Paul, this is who he is! ”
Along with Macdonald’s commentary, the camera also gave Paul a close-up.
At this moment, after extensive media coverage, the whole world knew that this young queen bee of New Orleans had boldly provoked the lion on the snowy mountains of Denver.
Although Ryan and Paul fought side by side at the ABCD training camp that year, giving Stoudemire a humiliating night.
But now, times have changed.
Paul no longer admires Ryan. His competitive spirit makes it difficult for him to admire anyone. Instead, he only wants to kill the strongest person.
Those who were once idols are now opponents in Paul’s eyes.
Everyone wants to know how Ryan, who has won two consecutive championships, will respond to the provocation from his juniors.
Or, can Paul really lead the team to climb to the top spot in the Western Conference behind Ryan?
Regardless of the outcome, this battle between stars is bound to be exciting.
Before the game started, Paul did not take the initiative to say hello to Ryan like other young players.
Anthony once said: “Playing with Chris, you will forget that we are friends in private.”
Even if Paul is playing ball with friends, he will devote himself wholeheartedly.
What’s more, Ryan and him are not friends yet.
Ryan’s side was very quiet from beginning to end.
This made Artest very unhappy. Before the game started, he poked Ellis with his elbow:
“Hey, can your adoptive father do it? If he can’t take care of that short winter melon, I’ll take care of it for him!”
Ellis rolled his eyes at Artest: “Even if my adoptive father is not very interested, it’s not your turn, so don’t worry about the second boss.”
Artest:? ? ?
“Asshole! I am the head of Taiji’s family!”
“You? Who recognized it? The person who has won the number one tough guy belt the most this season is my brother. Everyone in the locker room thinks he is the most important person to assist my adoptive father.”
“This is me. Just watch how I deal with Paul today!”
Artest, a person with a straightforward personality, really didn’t like Ryan’s reaction this time.
How could he remain silent in the face of a little brat like Paul?
Isn’t it because you are afraid of being slapped in the face?
After all, Paul’s performance this season is indeed very strong.
But no matter how afraid of being slapped in the face, I can’t just swallow it.
Ryan can swallow this breath, but I, Artest, can’t!
He will definitely help Ryan teach that little dwarf a lesson later!
At the beginning of the game, boxing champion Tyson won the first attack.
Paul steadily controlled the half, and it was Monta Ellis who was responsible for facing off against Paul.
Bird knows that Artest is not suitable for guarding players like Paul. As for Ryan, Bird hopes that he will focus on the offensive end first.
Therefore, the most suitable one is only Ellis.
Paul glanced at Ellis and dribbled the ball quickly with both hands.
Ellis spread his arms and watched Paul’s hand movements carefully.
Paul took a step to his right, without changing direction, and just broke through!
Ellis judged Paul’s direction correctly, but when he stuck to Paul, he was still pushed toward the basket by Paul, who was not very tall!
Everyone knows that Paul’s explosive power, speed and physical coordination are top-notch.
But most people ignore the terrifying power contained in this little man.
Whether it’s his upper or lower limbs, Paul’s strength is quite terrifying.
On defense, he can hold up players much bigger than himself.
When attacking, you can carry the defensive player and go directly to the basket, and then use some space to go directly to the layup!
This was the case with this goal. After Paul forced his way in, he pushed Ellis away to gain space, and then forced a layup.
The birdman tried his best to fly up, but his palms still couldn’t reach the ball.
Paul’s layup is like a female Buddha on the Internet. It may seem like you have it within reach, but actually you can’t get it at all.
Paul seems to be very short and easy to cover, but in fact he cannot cover him at all.
Although Paul is short, his career block rate is lower than that of Durant, a pervert who can pull up and shoot.
The arc of his layup is always just right, and once he gets inside, it’s difficult to stop him.
The basketball flew over the birdman’s wings and fell into the net.
As soon as Paul came up today, he showed a strong killer temperament!
Artest shook his head. In his opinion, there was nothing more embarrassing than having his body eaten by the other party.
But it doesn’t matter, I can help the team regain face right away!
In this offense, Ryan just received the basketball from outside the three-point line and was about to depress the pass button to deal with Paul, but he heard Artest shouting:
“Good chance Ryan!”
Ryan looked up and saw that Artest had blocked Peja with his back, trying to post up.
Ryan curled his lips. Originally, he wanted to dominate the offensive end today.
But it doesn’t matter. It’s rare for Artest to be so active in singles on the offensive end. It doesn’t hurt to give him a few games at the beginning to see the effect.
Ryan lobbed the ball to Artest. With Artest’s body, it shouldn’t be a big problem to beat Peja with his back.
After Artest pushed back a few times, he suddenly turned over and made a jump shot.
Although the movements are as stiff as ever, everyone is used to it. A player like Artest can score even if his movements are stiff.
When he scored the decisive three-pointer against the Spurs earlier, Artest didn’t shoot stiffly, but he made it crisply.
After taking the shot, Artest also laughed confidently.
Hehe, the boss is not in a good mood, so let me beat you up!
Sure enough, the ball drew a very beautiful arc.
Then it fell accurately into the hands of the boxing champion!
That’s right, Artest’s back-up jump shot directly caused a three-pointer! This shot made Bird really doubt that James and Artest might have some kind of DNA connection!
Because Artest’s moment at this moment is just like Ajan’s moment at that moment!
Even the back attack is so similar!
Ryan glanced at Artest speechlessly, no. You are so confident that this happened?
Artest immediately looked at the referee and spread his hands: “That was a foul just now!”
The referee wanted to laugh when he saw Artest’s reaction. You don’t really think you are James, do you?
Skill invalid!
Monta Ellis also sighed: “Didn’t I tell you not to worry about the second boss?”
The Nuggets’ first offense ended with Artest’s extremely nonsensical performance.
After the boxing champion got the basketball, he gave the ball to Paul, and the Hornets immediately counterattacked!
But the Nuggets retreated quickly, and the Hornets fell into position again.
However, the Hornets are a team that likes positional offense. This time Paul passed Ellis with a quick change of direction, preparing to break through again.
But as soon as his body passed Ellis, he saw Artest coming over with a grin on his face!
Artest’s posture felt like he was going to risk his life with Paul.
Artest is secretly proud, it’s time to catch you this time!
Artest’s defense was quite timely this time. Paul was almost blocked by Artest as soon as he took a step forward.
In Artest’s expectation, Paul would not be able to react in time, and he would definitely end up crashing into his arms.
But Paul didn’t even frown. He looked directly at Artest’s face and quickly pushed the ball to Peja.
Paul’s ball is fast and accurate, and he doesn’t give any looks.
Extremely quick response.
When Artest turned around to cover up the defense, the basketball had already flown to Peja’s hands.
Peja, who shot a career-high 44 percent from three in a single season, won’t miss a beat.
Steady hit the long shot!
Artest swallowed, Paul’s ball was too fast!
Almost as soon as he saw his defense, Paul immediately passed the ball and found Peja!
Considering Paul’s height, it would be impossible for his vision to find Peja so quickly!
This is true, but the passing of top point guards never depends on the vision seen by the naked eye.
Stockton once said in an interview in 1992 that if you only rely on temporary viewing and wait until you see it and then think about it before passing the ball, the opportunity will be gone.
Real top point guards are based on the opponent’s position and grasp of the situation, and can predict where there are open teammates in a moment of conditioned reflex.
Paul naturally has this ability, and this is also the scary thing about Paul, he is extremely calm!
Even if he desperately wants to kill Ryan today, he will win as a team.
Even in the moment of life and death, what Paul thinks about is not “let me end the game”, but “let me take control of everything and make the perfect choice for you.”
Therefore, Artest’s supplementary defense has no effect at all, and Paul is not afraid at all!
5-0, the Hornets’ offense was impressive.
The Hornets fans at the scene cheered. During this period, the Nuggets limited the opponent to only 60 to 70 points.
But the Hornets’ offense was quite smooth.
This means that the Hornets are really not on the same level as other teams!
Other teams can’t beat the Nuggets, but the Hornets can!
After Paul assisted Peja to score, he also spat out trash talk:
“Why, if the boss can’t come forward now, why don’t we ask the third child to step in and take over?”
Paul’s words were obviously meant to mock Ryan, who was silent and silent, but they were actually the most humiliating to Artest.
Artest’s anger value is directly maxed out. Let me say it again, I am a tough guy!
Didn’t you agree that your identity when you go out is yours?
Why do you always misunderstand me! ?
Even Ben couldn’t help but complain about Artest: “Stop it, don’t you know how strong Paul’s passing ability is? What’s the difference between giving Peja an open chance and giving away points?”
“Damn, I saw that Paul was too arrogant and wanted to give him some strength!”
Just when the two of them were arguing in full swing, Ryan raised his hand:
“Can you
Give me the ball first and then argue! ”
Ryan is convinced. How many times do I have to remind you of this kind of thing!
After Artest heard Ryan’s voice, he immediately turned to look at him: “Lian, you should deal with him! Why haven’t you taken any action after being provoked by him!”
Ryan’s eyes turned to Artest, who suddenly didn’t dare to say anything more.
Because even the slow Artest discovered that there was no emotion or warmth in Ryan’s eyes today, only a suffocating indifference.
“I was just about to finish it off. Didn’t you ask for the ball yourself just now?
Do your job well and leave today’s offense to me. ”
Ryan’s cold tone stopped Artest from retorting and ran forward honestly.
The strong sense of oppression and the cold-blooded voice made Artest, the beast, feel frightened.
You’d better stop yelling at Ryan, Paul will naturally pay the price for his arrogance!
Big Ben took the baseline kick, and Ryan controlled the half of the court himself this time.
What he had to face was Maurice Peterson’s leading defense.
Although Peterson has not been in the defensive line, his defense has been conscientious.
The key is that Peterson does not need to completely guard the opponent’s outside arrows, because he has Tyson Chandler behind him.
He just needs to bite his opponent fiercely, force the opponent to break through, and then leave the rest to Chandler.
Peterson immediately pressed on Ryan, and Ryan also used the trick to force a breakthrough after leaning on Peterson.
But as soon as he ran to the right side of the three-point line, Ryan skillfully received a crotch pull-back.
Ryan’s sudden stop and pullback changed the rhythm very quickly.
Last time, Ryan used this trick to make Maddie open her most beautiful calves, showing off everything.
This time, Peterson gave everyone a live performance of smashing the floor.
As soon as Ryan paused, Patterson, who also braked suddenly, fell backwards and was shaken to the ground!
The reason why Ryan’s move has a high success rate is mainly because once Ryan chooses to break through, he will definitely go all the way to the end.
It is impossible to take these detours along the way.
Therefore, when defending Ryan’s breakthrough, most people are used to pursuing the defense with all their strength.
And he was completely unprepared for Ryan’s emergency stop.
Even though more than 10 games have been played in the new season, people’s defensive habits have not changed.
But Ryan this season is no longer the Ryan who can only break through in a straight line.
He has more tricks and is more deceptive!
After Ryan knocked down Peterson, he still stood there arrogantly, waiting for Peja and David West to pounce before taking a shot!
On-site commentator McDonald shook his head helplessly: “Ryan was attacking with the ball for the first time today, and he was defying the Hornets’ defense!”
But MacDonald soon came to a conclusion: “But he will definitely pay the price for this arrogance!”
However, with Ryan’s shooting speed, it is impossible for him to let others really interfere with him.
Ryan took action just before Peja and David West interfered. A shot that knocks down the opponent and waits for the opponent to come up with defense before taking the shot is a sure hit!
Even if Ryan defies the Hornets’ defense, he doesn’t have to pay any price!
Artest’s mouth opened wide when he saw it, damn it
Why can people attack so handsomely and easily?
After Ryan scored, he looked at Paul and finally said his first words to him: “Let me take action? You will regret it, Chris.”
The reason why Ryan was so quiet before was because he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Paul.
I am a two-time MVP and a two-time championship, why should I argue with you, a three-none player?
There is no need to argue at all, I can just destroy it!
Ryan’s wonderful three-point performance finally made Nuggets fans feel proud.
But this year’s Hornets are indeed no ordinary people. Soon, Paul launched another beautiful response.
In this round, Paul broke through the penalty area and attracted Ben and Birdman to shrink at the same time, then distributed the ball to David West in the mid-range.
Paul suddenly scored a mid-range shot to West, which is almost the most efficient scoring routine for the Hornets.
David West used his soft and delicate fingers, proficient in various musical instruments, to throw the ball steadily and hit the fatal blow!
The Hornets’ offense is so comprehensive.
Just guarding Paul won’t solve the problem at all.
No matter who you miss, that guy is going to punish the Nuggets defense.
From the beginning of the game to now, the Nuggets have not defended against the Hornets even once.
But Bird didn’t panic, and Ryan remained calm.
Bird knew that the Hornets couldn’t guard against the angry Ryan!
Sure enough, when West used an elegant jumper to tell the world that scoring is not that difficult after all.
But Ryan used a beautiful pull-up layup to tell the fans: “Such a gorgeous score is enough to be exciting!”
In this round, Ryan passed the screen and passed Peterson, and then scored with the lever under the active defense of the boxing champion.
Ryan continuously challenged the Hornets’ defense and succeeded continuously.
After scoring this time, Ryan also made a “shut up” gesture to Paul.
Paul clenched his fists, his competitive spirit completely aroused.
This competitive and paranoid guy also maintained his excellent condition in the subsequent games.
Ryan will not let go of any scoring opportunities.
As a result, the score continued to be anxious just like the situation at the beginning.
Paul used his wonderful passes again and again to guide his teammates to score continuously.
They are the only team this season that can continue to score against the Nuggets’ defense without too many interruptions.
Ryan used his personal abilities to also blast through the Hornets’ defense.
Ryan has a very high desire to score today, and he is taking crazy shots without concealing his desire.
In the first half alone, Ryan scored 24 points!
Among them, on the last ball of the half, David West misplaced his defense in front of Ryan. Faced with this master who almost never made mistakes on the defensive end, Ryan lowered his center of gravity and prepared to break through, but in the next second he pulled up for a jumper!
Another pull-up without warning caused David West, who was not good at blocking shots, to suffer a hard hit!
Ryan now has too many offensive weapons, so many that he can deal with a variety of different opponents at will!
This goal left a deep impression on David West. During the midfield interview, David West shook his head whenever he mentioned Ryan:
“This guy seems to be on fire! The first half was so hot!”
But David West is only half right.
Because Ryan is still hot at the beginning of the second half!
He first caught the ball and made a long shot from outside the three-point line.
Then he broke through along the baseline and performed a dunk contest-level pull-bar dunk.
He feinted a shot from outside the three-point line and then broke through for a mid-range shot.
But the most arrogant thing was the goal midway through the third quarter.
Ryan held the ball outside the three-point line and broke through Peterson. This time, David West no longer watched the poor Peterson being ravaged.
He made up the defense in time, and one step behind the free throw line, he worked with Peterson to stop Ryan!
Even if Ryan’s power is at full level, it is not so exaggerated that he can break through the defenses of two people.
Pass the ball?
It’s funny, when Ryan met West’s double-team before, it was not like he didn’t pass the ball to Ben, who was completely left empty.
But how does David West defend Big Ben?
He just walked towards Daben. That’s right, he didn’t run, but walked over leisurely. And, I didn’t even bother to stretch out my hand to interfere! The most damning thing is that West is so defensive about Big Ben, but Big Ben still misses his close shot!
West’s defense against Big Ben highlights the trust between people!
So this time, Ryan faced a double attack and did not pass to Ben again.
Instead, he threw the ball hastily under the obstruction of the two people.
But even for Ryan, it was too difficult to throw in this situation.
In the end, the basketball failed to hit the net, and David West immediately used his keen sense of smell to grab the defensive rebound.
However, just when everyone thought Ryan’s scoring momentum was finally suppressed.
All I saw was Ryan roughly pulling the basketball out of David West’s hand who had just landed!
David West has never been the kind of player who can make waves inside, so his strength is not particularly strong.
Ryan just exerted his strength and West couldn’t hold the ball at all!
After forcibly snatching the basketball from West’s hand, Ryan carried Peterson on his back and immediately took off for a layup, successfully scoring!
Ryan can score in technical ways, but he has not lost the brutal attack that he relies on in the early days!
This time a tough counterattack layup brought Ryan’s personal score to 33 points!
You know, at this time, the third quarter is only half played!
The Hornets’ offensive performance today was good enough, but under Ryan’s super offensive, the Hornets were 3 points behind at this time!
At that moment, the entire Hornets fans in the arena were trembling.
They can feel that a storm is coming!
McDonald wiped the sweat from his forehead, unable to believe what he had just witnessed.
Even though Ryan was already being defended, he could counterattack on the spot and continue to score goals!
After the goal was scored, Ryan raised his arms towards Paul and showed off his perfect muscle lines.
At this moment, Paul finally felt a hint of the terror brought by Ryan.
but!
He won’t give up!
This competitive guy hasn’t given up yet and still wants to compete with the best players in the league over the past two years.
The point guard god tried his best to keep the score tight.
And Ryan’s offense was so stable that it was extremely disappointing.
Ryan’s score rose to 40 points.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he broke the record for the most points scored in a single game this season with 43 points.
At the eighth minute of the fourth quarter, Ryan hit a pull-up jumper, giving him his 50th point of the game!
At this time, the ratings of this game were getting higher and higher.
Fans across the United States have heard the news that Ryan has performed miracles here!
“Ryan is synonymous with despair today! Paul didn’t even expect that he could solve the Nuggets’ defense, but he couldn’t solve Ryan’s offense!”
MacDonald has been completely conquered, and Ryan’s performance today is simply astonishing.
After scoring the 50th point, the Hornets were also 3 points behind the Nuggets!
Hornets coach Byron Scott immediately called a timeout. He didn’t want the team to collapse in the last four minutes.
After the Hornets players came off the court, before Scott could speak, Paul yelled at Peterson:
“Cheer up! He just scored 50 points on you!”
Peterson:
Why don’t you listen to what you’re saying! ?
Just 50 points?
I’ve been killed!
Ryan can’t defend against these attacks at all!
McGrady has already told you not to yell at him. It’s okay now, all the damage will be borne by me alone!
Peterson’s morale is indeed very low now, because Ryan’s score is simply too unreasonable!
Why am I so unlucky that Ryan reaches a new season scoring high?
In fact, Byron Scott didn’t expect the team to be able to guard Ryan today.
His instructions to the team were: “Don’t panic, let’s maintain our offensive efficiency and see who makes the first mistake!”
Scott’s only way now is to attack the Nuggets. He believes that Paul can efficiently guide the team’s offense to the end of the game.
After all, Paul relies on the strength of the team and creates open opportunities for his teammates.
But if Ryan misses a few more difficult singles, the Nuggets will be doomed!
The pause ended quickly. At this time, the ratings of this game had doubled from the beginning!
Lane’s large-scale education site welcomed countless basketball fans.
Before, the whole world was talking about the Nuggets’ terrifying defense.
And today, Ryan told the world how strong the Nuggets’ offense can be!
However, 50 points in a single game is great, but 50 points in a single game without a victory is not so valuable.
Right now the Hornets are only 3 points behind, and they’re not exactly on death row.
Paul still has a chance to win the crown.
At least, that’s what Hornets fans thought when the timeout just ended.
Because soon, this defense will plunge Hornets fans into deeper despair!
The game started and the Hornets had the ball.
When Paul passed halftime, he finally saw the figure that had been on his mind.
Ryan started to guard him alone!
Just like the previous strategy of letting Ryan attack and defend in half the court, Bird did not let Ryan guard Paul at the beginning today just to save energy.
This season, Ryan has to absorb a lot of shot rights, and there are fewer simple balls. Therefore, Bird will basically not let him perform defensive tasks that are too difficult.
Except for critical moments!
In critical minutes, Ryan will continue to defend the opponent’s number one player.
Today, the number one player of the Hornets is undoubtedly Paul!
Paul approached Ryan excitedly, but after Ryan opened his arms, the Nuggets’ defense seemed to have erected a barrier.
But Paul didn’t have stage fright. He used a crossover at the three-point line and tried to pass by Ryan!
However, Ryan’s terrifying lateral speed blocked Paul’s way!
Paul was a little surprised. The striker could actually stop him in time?
This unscientific!
Paul did not continue to attack hard, but waved his hand and called for the boxing champion to pick and roll!
Pick-and-roll offense, this is Paul’s trump card this season.
This season, Paul ranks first in the league in the number of shots per game after holding the ball in the pick-and-roll, and also ranks first in the league in the number of times he chooses to finish off the dribble after the pick-and-roll.
In other words, Paul’s ability is top-notch whether he is shooting or bursting after the pick-and-roll!
If you don’t switch defenses, Paul can score with a mid-range shot that is almost error-free.
If you switch defense, the big man’s backdrop moment is coming.
Paul never misses an opportunity to drive a big car. This is his unique little quirk.
Therefore, how to defend Paul’s pick-and-roll is a problem that plagues all teams in the league.
Paul confidently launched a pick-and-roll attack, thinking that his trump card could easily take advantage of Ryan.
As a result, when Paul initiated the pick-and-roll, he found that the Nuggets did not switch defenses, and he did not get any space to shoot!
Although Ryan couldn’t instantly bypass the screen to block Paul, he could still cover Paul’s shot after stretching his long arms.
This made Paul choose to give up!
Yes, Paul is the kind of player who won’t take action without too much confidence.
Why does Paul seem to have strong scoring ability and high efficiency, but his production has never been good?
Because Paul’s high efficiency is achieved on the basis of “extremely strict requirements on shooting conditions”!
Although Paul’s shot was accurate, his release was too slow. Coupled with his short height, this directly led to his very high requirements for the shooting environment.
Both are small men. Both Smiling Assassin and AI have the ability to score points on other people’s heads, but what about Paul? Most of his attacks require a huge amount of space before being released.
Therefore, at least 90% of Paul’s winning shots are breakthroughs from the right, rather than forced pull-ups.
Therefore, Paul’s singles most of the time have the characteristic of “excessive dribbling”.
This is not Paul’s intention to show off his dribbling or to humiliate his opponent, but that he needs to dribble and swing for a long time to ensure that he creates enough space!
All of these allow him to always ensure very high efficiency at critical moments, making it difficult for him to be blocked.
But it’s also difficult to guarantee sustained output!
After all, there are so many good opportunities for you at critical moments.
With this ball, Ryan didn’t give Paul any chance to shoot.
After Ryan reached out to cover Paul, Paul actually chose to pass the ball to Peja instead of taking a direct shot.
Paul retreated beyond the three-point line and asked for the ball again to stop it.
And this is the third time Paul has reorganized his offense this round!
Ryan looked at Paul, who was frustrated, and started to provoke: “Come on, Chris, you idiot who doesn’t know the heights of heaven and earth. Come and defeat me. You are a loser who only knows how to hide behind your teammates at critical moments!”
Paul’s veins popped out, how could he be intimidated by Ryan!
At this moment, Paul saw David West in the mid-range suddenly get rid of Ben and cut to the basket.
So, he quickly hit the ball to the ground and fed it to West.
But the moment Paul passed the ball, Ryan shrugged at Paul:
“Just now, you made a wrong decision. You should have faced my defense instead of letting others end the offense.”
Immediately afterwards, Paul heard a “bang” from the backboard.
“Ben Wallace succeeded in chasing David West! In Ben’s no-fly zone, only Ryan can fly freely!
Others, this place, cannot! ”
In the last four minutes, Bird asked Ryan to guard Paul alone.
So everyone else will be playing man-to-man defense for the time being.
If Paul passes the ball to them, they won’t get any good opportunities.
Big Ben’s block caused the Hornets to miss a good opportunity to close the score.
Byron Scott cursed secretly, thinking that the team attack led by Paul would be more stable than Ryan’s singles attack.
But now, it was Paul who became unstable first!
After Ryan started to defend Paul, he seemed to give Paul a little trouble?
Indeed, Ryan will never give Paul any perfect shot.
As a result, Paul will struggle quite a bit at critical moments.
Although he is a perfect team leader, Ryan will use more brutal methods to deal with him!
After one round, Paul was indeed in trouble again!
He tried many ways, but he couldn’t get rid of Ryan directly!
Paul’s speed is so fast that even Ryan can’t stop him immediately every time.
But because Paul is short and slow in shooting, even if he is half a body ahead of Ryan, he may not be able to shoot safely.
He has extremely high requirements for space and efficiency, but is unwilling to shoot directly from the top.
As a result, Paul continued to cycle in the rhythm of “try to attack – fail – teammates have no chance – return to the three-point line to reorganize the offense”!
McDonald couldn’t believe it: “The point guard god was guarded like a headless fly!”
Half a century ago, Paul would have been able to play like this for an entire game.
But now, an offense only lasts 24 seconds.
After just a few attempts, the attack time was almost over.
Ryan smiled and looked at Paul in front of him: “Chris, are you fucking kidding me? Are you pursuing victory or juggling on the street? Take action!”
Paul also knew that he had been forced by Ryan with no way out.
So this time, Paul accelerated and broke through half of Ryan’s body, then stopped in the mid-range for a jump shot!
But just as Paul predicted before, because of Ryan’s wingspan, even if he is half a body beyond Ryan, Ryan can interfere with or even completely cover his shooting!
Coupled with Paul’s slow shooting, there is no room to escape!
Ryan quickly jumped into the air, covering the sky with his big hands.
Paul knew that his shot would be risky, so he wanted to pass the ball.
But after quickly scanning around in the air, Paul found that no one had a chance to catch the ball!
So, people only saw Paul stop and jump up, neither shooting nor passing the ball in the air, and then he fell back to the ground holding the ball upright, and was eventually called a walk by the referee!
All the Hornets fans in the audience were shocked. The god of point guard was actually prevented from making such a low-level mistake by Ryan! ?
You’re doing the standing long jump!
Paul cursed and smashed the ball to the floor.
Ryan’s defense. Damn it!
He has never been so uncomfortable playing the ball in such a cool and elegant way!
Byron Scott has also seen that Ryan’s previous 50 points were just sharpening his skills.
The defense against Paul in the last four minutes is the real killer!
He wanted to score 50 points today, but also wanted to prevent Paul from being embarrassed!
Both want and want.
This guy is so cruel!
Looking at Paul who was downcast and cursing, Ryan also shouted at him:
“Hey Chris!
You’re so fucking easy to defend!
How about throwing the ball? ”
“Fuck” Paul, who was extremely competitive, clenched his fists. How could he stand such humiliating trash talk!
Ryan looked at Paul with his head lowered and smiled with satisfaction.
This is what happens when you speak nonsense in front of the media!
Ryan won’t beep with Paul in front of the media, but on the basketball court, he will never show any mercy to Paul!
Artest rushed forward excitedly and hugged Ryan: “Hahahahaha, good fight! It seems you can completely defeat that dwarf without the help of the second boss!”
Ryan nodded: “The main boss can’t help on the offensive end.”
Artest:? ? ?
How on earth do I look less like the second child!
After Ryan had already scored 50 points, he had to kill Paul next.
Everyone knows that these last few minutes will be the most terrifying nightmare of Paul’s career!
His self-esteem will be completely crushed by the bloodthirsty Lion King!
