The Bobcats lead 8-2. Hornet fans began to feel the pressure.

Generally speaking, the team is a little behind and nothing is there. The key is that Paul, the team's weapon, seems to be restricted. He can no longer score and assist as he pleases.

The opponent's pretty little player seemed to have defended Paul into an ordinary player.

If this is the case, the team will be in danger.

In NBA, every team must have a backbone, and the performance of this backbone can greatly affect the team's victory or defeat.

Such backbone players are often superstars in the league. They carry the team on their shoulders, and in every team, they are priceless treasures.

Paul is undoubtedly the backbone of the Hornets. If he performs poorly, it will be very difficult for the Hornets to win.

However, Paul has experienced many strong storms over the years. Although he was a little passive in front of Jiang Jun today, he remained silent.

He believed that he could find the rhythm he was used to and make the team run smoother.

Taking the ball from Ariza, Paul looked at the situation on the field with sharp eyes and walked forward slowly.

Jiang Jun was still a step away from Paul in a calm manner, and was not nervous because his opponent was a superstar.

When they reached the three-point line, Paul and coach Ball communicated with gestures for a while, nodded, and then gestured to West and Okafor, signaling them to come out to pick-and-roll.

Ball found that relying on West alone to pick-and-roll alone seemed to be unable to stop Jiang Jun's defense, and he could quickly bypass West to block Paul.

In this case, Paul has three options.

One is to pour the ball to the outside player, but to be honest, if the opponent's defensive player does not lose his position, the shooting percentage of the players who receive the ball can be imagined.

The second is that Paul and West simply play pick-and-roll. If they cannot pass it to West, Paul will take advantage of the fleeting opportunity to shoot.

The third is that Paul plays pick-and-roll with two teammates or more than two teammates, and then takes the opportunity to break through to the inside to make a layup or provide an alley relay for the followers.

Like in the past, Paul mostly played pick-and-roll with one of West or Okafor's teammates, and then quickly inserted into the inside to disrupt the opponent's defensive formation. Paul made the judgment whether to shoot or pass, and basically asked for it.

This is Paul's ability.

It can be said that most teams in the league have a headache about Paul's breakthrough and pick-and-roll.

However, Paul often chooses the second option. However, at this time, the team is usually far behind, or Paul will only rush to make a rush to vote at the last moment of the game.

It can be said that Paul was not willing to shoot suddenly before he had to.

Generally speaking, too much shot is not what a super point guard should do.

In addition to Paul's judgment, how to make a choice also needs to look at the opponent's defense.

If the opponent attacks Paul, he will definitely pass the ball to the outside line. If the opponent strictly guards against pick-and-roll, he will take decisive action.

West came up to pick-and-roll for Paul, and Paul bypassed, but Thomas still ignored West, but instead switched defense with Jiang Jun on the spot. Jiang Jun was responsible for following Thomas to block Paul's pass to him; Thomas stepped forward and stuck to Paul.

Paul failed to break through in, so he skillfully controlled the ball and continued to move to the left.

Okafor was held back by Yao Ming in the inside and there was no chance. He immediately took a step forward, blocked Thomas, and continued to play a pick-and-roll with Paul.

Paul got the gap and suddenly broke into the inside three-second zone, making a fake shot.

The Bobcats' defenseman was the only one Yao Ming under the basket. When he saw Paul coming to shoot, he did not jump, but was waiting for the battle.

He learned from his mistakes and jumped in front of Paul, and he was easily trapped in his plan.

What a Paul, when he saw that he could not deceive Yao Ming, he immediately made a plan and adjusted his posture slightly, but did not jump, and he threw a flicker.

When Yao Ming saw the ball coming, he jumped to block it. Unfortunately, he was a little lowered, and the ball had already slid down against the tip of his fingers, and the hollow fell into the net.

Smith praised: "Paul is Paul. He is like LeBron, and he has the ability to change a team. With him, the Hornets' pick-and-roll will be so sharp."

Barkley said: "Yao doesn't like defending these flexible little guys the most. Maybe he's more willing to defend big guys like O'Neal, Howard, and Okafor."

Miller nodded and said, "So far, Jiang and Paul have demonstrated their own characteristics. Paul uses complex pick-and-roll tactics, while Jiang seems to be more casual. Sometimes he even needs a simple run by his teammate to seize opportunities to assist or shoot."

Smith said: "If neither side can limit the other side, then maybe the game will be stalemate and very good."

The score reached 8 to 4. The Bobcats led.

Jiang Jun also admires Paul's pick-and-roll. It seems that the tactics tailor-made for Paul by the Hornets are indeed very simple and effective.

Jiang Jun organized a quick counterattack in the last round, which put a lot of pressure on the Hornets members.

So as soon as he saw that the Bobcats were about to attack, the Hornets players immediately stepped down with all their might and went to the backcourt to defend.

When Jiang Jun saw this, he was not anxious. He took it to the three-point line slowly and hung the ball from Paul's head to Yao Ming.

As soon as Yao Ming grabbed the ball, Okafor held back desperately, making it impossible for him to turn around easily. Another Hornets inside player, West, was also eyeing him and ready to make up for defense at any time.

Yao Ming had long been accustomed to such double-teams. He was not greedy for merit, but stood steadily and passed the ball in again.

At this time, Bardinger and Jackson began to run continuously, pulling away the players who were defending them.

Under such circumstances, Okafor and West had to take into account both the rest of the defense to prevent the Bobcats players from running out of the open space.

After Jiang Jun received the ball back from Yao Ming, he saw that there was only Okafor behind Yao Ming, so he planned to pass it back.

However, Paul saw the situation clearly from the corner of his eyes. He knew that Okafor was a little nervous to defend Yao Ming alone, so he quickly retreated and blocked Yao Ming's side and prevented Jiang Jun from passing the ball to him.

Jiang Jun raised his lips and smiled.

Yao Ming is attracted to double-teams, so he can't score easily.

Jiang Jun closed the ball and did not pass the ball to Yao Ming in the inside line, but instead made a jump shot on the spot, making a move without warning, and the ball entered again!

Barkley grinned and said, "Is this in Rock Park? Why do I think Jiang is playing a streetball show?"

Smith also frowned and said, "According to this kind of shooting method, it is very unrigorous. Because his shooting preparation time is a bit hasty. Reggie, what do you think?"

Miller pondered for a moment and said, "Unless you are very skilled in this kind of ball, you can use your instinct to attack, otherwise your shooting rate is indeed not as high as a jump shot at the emergency stop. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to take a sudden shot like this unless it was a buzzer-beating ball."

The referee signaled that the ball scored two points.

Jiang Jun was a little regretful, he stepped on the three-point line. He didn't pay attention to it, but he would have taken a decisive step back and then shot.

10 to 4.

Paul was a little depressed. In fact, it was not wrong for him to double-team Yao Ming. The closer he got to the basket, the easier it was to score.

Unexpectedly, Yao Ming would pay such a big price.

To be honest, if Jiang Jun’s shooting is really as accurate as Jiang Jun’s teammates, then the opponent will be asking for trouble.

Next, the Bobcats strengthened their defense against Paul, and in the end Paul had to pass the ball to Ariza on the outside.

Ariza looked at Belinelli on the other side. Jackson was tightly defending her body, and other players could not find any space. She wanted to pass Paul back, but found that Paul was being chased by Jiang Jun and ran away.

In desperation, Ariza dribbled away from Badinger and took another shot outside the three-point line, but unfortunately he still failed to hit the ball.

Yao Ming grabbed the rebound again and passed it to Jackson.

When Jackson waited for Jiang Jun to run to him, he handed the baller to Jiang Jun.

Then the two of them shot arrows at the same time and rushed to the front field quickly.

Ariza and Belinelli quickly returned to defense.

In order to prevent Jiang Jun from attacking quickly, Paul took the opportunity and rushed forward, trying to steal.

Jiang Jun laughed in his heart. He was deliberately selling a flaw just now. Seeing that Paul was deceived, he turned around and accelerated, avoided Paul's steal, and headed to the basket like the wind.

A situation of two against two was formed ahead.

Jiang Jun rushed to the basket, and near the free throw line, he made a fake move to pass the ball to Jackson, deceived Belinelli, and continued to break into the basket.

Seeing that Ariza was the only one left at the basket, Jiang Jun's speed did not decrease, and suddenly left and right, making Ariza unable to grasp it.

Jiang Jun rushed into the three-second zone and flew up to make a layup.

At this time, Jiang Jun suddenly felt something strange.

Ariza looked fierce and came towards him!

Seeing that the gloomy Japanese devil was not concerned about the consequences and just wanted to stop him, Jiang Jun didn't have time to think about it carefully, and smiled coldly in his heart. He was in the air, and with the help of inertia, he suddenly accelerated and increased his strength!

Jump high and ride Ariza with a dunk!

Just as the ball fell into the basket with a bang, Ariza also jumped high in the air, hugged Jiang Jun's shoulder, and pulled it down with force!

Jiang Jun was in mid-air and couldn't exert force, so he followed Ariza's move and landed on the ground. He raised his head, touched the ground with his chest, and slid out with inertia.

If he hadn't been stepping up the force just now, I'm afraid Ariza would have hugged his neck now!

The referee's whistle sounded, and it was an obvious malicious foul.

"Trump, villain!"

When Jiang Jun was still on the ground, he heard Jackson roar, cursing, and even stepped forward and pushed Ariza hard.

Ariza was not a good person either. She immediately approached Jackson, pressed her head against Jackson's forehead, and kept scolding each other.

The players on both sides immediately surrounded and pulled the two away.
