Chapter 49 Down

Just after the trip to Salt Lake City, the Suns appeared in New Orleans the next day, another strong team in the West this season, the New Orleans Hornets.

Under Paul's leadership, the Hornets are rising in strength, but they are rejected from the playoffs or in the first round every year. This summer, the Hornets have made great efforts to further strengthen their power, not to mention Paul, the absolute trump card.

As the referee threw the orange basketball into the air, the centers of the two teams jumped up together. The Hornets jump the ball is Okafu, and of course the Suns is Zhao Yue. It is not the first time for the two teams to play against each other, so there is no need to hide private and go all out.

When the basketball referee threw up, Zhao Yue automatically appeared in his mind when the basketball would fall. He instinctively knew when to take off, and the basketball was hit by Zhao Yue's big hand in Nash's hand.

Although Nash's defense against Delong in the last game was very poor and was repeatedly eaten by Delong, a little fat man, and Dragic performed well, Gentry still did not let Dragic replace Nash in this game. After all, Nash is the core of the team.

The Sun's main lineup remains unchanged, and the Hornets continue to use this season's regular lineup. Naturally, the point guard is Chris Paul, the shooting guard Peja Stojakovic, the small forward is Tezatrevo Ariza, the power forward is David West, and the center is Emeka Oka Fu.

As soon as Nash received the basketball, Paul posted it, but compared with Deron, Paul's threat is not big, because Deron is strong and fast but restrains Nash, and Paul is the same body and has the same speed as Nash, and there is no restraint.

Today, the Hornets obviously arranged tactics against Nash. David West appeared in the defense position for the first time, and Nash had to stop.

Although David West is not as powerful as Ocarford, he is also in a rising period. His ability is no less than Ocarford in this list, and his offensive firepower is even better than his.

Okafo and West on the inside line, coupled with the long gun of Peja on the outside line, are absolutely powerful. If the Suns want to win, luck and opportunity need to coexist. After Nash slowing down the rhythm, he took a look at Zhao Yue with his back to Okafu and passed the ball.

Zhao Yue took the ball unexpectedly and looked at Nash in front of him. He didn't expect Nash's ball to come so quickly.

Since you give it to me, I'll give it to you!

Turning around with the basketball, Zhao Yue made a shooting action in front of Okafu. Even without waiting for Okafu's reaction, Zhao Yue had flashed him out of a gap, and then cut into the inner line with his fast and impactful breakthrough.

The other party can't even defend against it at all. The first step of Okafu, who ate with defense, had already let Zhao Yue break through. David West wanted to come to make up for the defense, but it was too late. Zhao Yue jumped up and held the ball in one hand was a powerful smash. Zhao Yue in the air was like a pioneering Pangu god, and there was no existence. I can avoid this dunk.

"Bum"! The basket roared violently to protest against Zhao Yue's violence.

"It's so beautiful!" This gorgeous performance pushed the atmosphere of the Suns to a ** at the beginning of the game.

"Steve, you have a good pass!" Zhao Yue patted Nash on the shoulder when he retreated. Originally, he thought that this ball was necessary for Zhao Yue. After the dunk, Zhao Yue was in a good mood. Now it seems that Nash is getting cuter and cuter. Nash smiled when he heard Zhao Yue's words.

As soon as the court opened, it was smashed, and the face of the Hornets was also uncomfortable. Looking at the head coach with a cloudy face off the court, everyone on the court felt that their necks were tight. The status of the Hornets coach in the Hornets now is indisputable. If the coach is angry, it is quite terrible.

However, the wasp is not a soft persimmon. Their star Chris Paul is obviously not afraid of Zhao Yue. After half-time, Paul steadily controls the basketball, which is quite watertight.

Looking at Nash posting it, Paul didn't have any good intentions. Originally, at the beginning of the game, the attention on the sidelines thought that Paul would slowly organize the team, but Paul was obviously abnormal.

He suddenly moved. Paul's speed and dexterity were the biggest basis for his attack. His breakthrough was particularly interesting. He did not rely entirely on blocking and demolition. With his clever dribbling, he often played his opponents dizzy. The two light PGs bumped into each other, but Paul quickly turned around and wanted to get rid of Nash. However, when they turned around, the two had obvious physical contact, which caused Paul not to take the opportunity to get rid of Nash and was entangled by Nash again.

Next, Paul's action was almost subconscious. He retreated and then took a backward jump shot. When he leaned back, he had to hit Nash's hand as much as possible, so that even if he didn't enter, he could cheat a foul. Unfortunately, his action was doomed to be useless.

Nash also took a step back and looked at the other party leaning back. Zhao Yue did not move, but just put his hands behind him.

Even if Zhao Yue did not disturb him with such a hurried shot, he was unlikely to score a goal. The ball also hit the neck of the basket as Zhao Yue thought.

The orange-red basketball bounced over the court, and Okafu, who was entangled with Zhao Yue in the penalty area, was overjoyed. The basketball landing point was obviously his own position.

Okafu jumped hard and his body kept rising. The orange-red basketball seemed to be in his bag.

However, the pupils of Okaford in the air suddenly dilated countless times, and his face showed shock.

Because a pair of big hands took the basketball away from his head before his hand was about to touch the basketball!
