220 Critical moment! Defeat.

"Dip!" The whistle sounded crisply, and the first quarter of the game came to an end. In the end, the Suns had a 6-point lead. Zhang Chen scored 12 points in the first quarter, and the record he had been continuing was over. This is a little regrettable, but after thinking that Zhang Chen has a frightening speed, people have not been entangled in this issue for too long. After all, after Zhang Chen gets such a perverted speed, it is not difficult to reproduce the legend again.

Anyway, Zhang Chen's score in the first quarter is still quite good. Under such a scoring momentum, it is not impossible for him to get a good score in this game.

On the bench, D'Antoni is communicating with Barbosa and others. Now the relationship between Zhang Chen and Barbosa has returned to normal, which saves him a lot of trouble when explaining tactics and so on. Therefore, under such circumstances, it will undoubtedly become easier for D'Anthony to explain tactics to Zhang Chen and others. A lot. He is now more attentive to Zhang Chen and others while analyzing the Hornets' scoring advantage and their offensive means, he also begins to analyze their defensive means and find a way to restrain them from the middle.

"We can't let the New Orleans people win a game here. I think everyone should know what's in it... Because we can't lose this game. You know, although we are in the first place in the West now, there are always many people who don't want us to exist for such a long time. They want to challenge us, and if they win, they will have an excuse to brag... Oh, let me guess what they will say - they will definitely say that the Suns are nothing more than that. Their first in the West is just their own statement. In fact, they are vulnerable! Yes, they will definitely say that... So, for the sake of our dignity and our honor, we will never allow the Hornets to win at home. Steve, I think you can strengthen your defense and give that Hornets point guard a little trouble... And you have more choices when attacking... You can suppress him with your own score... In fact, it's a pretty good way to suppress an opponent's score."

Nash nodded, and then D'Antoni turned his eyes to Zhang Chen and said, "Chen, let me tell you... I know you are not a good guy to deal with... In fact, your surprising speed and progress also illustrates this, so I think you can increase your offensive and aggressive surname. ...Of course, I also know that Adam is a pretty good defender... But you can use the help of your teammates more, and I can arrange a tactic for you to block the defender as much as possible... That should help."

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "To be honest, that guy is really a good defensive player. Although I can deal with him, sometimes I can't guarantee the quality of my action... And the damn defense of the Hornets, they are like iron buckets... Even if I have Allen. At that speed, I guess I can't do anything about them.

De Anthony naturally knew this, so he said, "Okay... But I have to say that the way can always be found. You can try to summon the help of your teammates, which depends on Steve's organization."

Zhang Chen nodded, and then Nash said that he would do it, so the second half of the game almost began.

After the start of the second half of the game, the Hornets quickly played their aggressive surname. After all, they were more than six points behind, so their attack unconsciously took some anger. However, it is well known that the Hornets' substitute lineup is really not good, and most of their results this season are still due to the steady play of their main players. On the contrary, the Suns' bench is full of talents, with Barbosa on the outside and Dior on the inside. These two new forces are also good at cutting points.

Therefore, although the Hornets have begun to be furious, under the crazy attack of the better quality Suns, the Hornets' substitutes can only accept the reality of being suppressed by the Suns. The players of the Suns are like a group of wild wolves, and their scores are quite shocking, especially the speed of passing the half is frightening. Therefore, in the first half of the second quarter, not only did the Hornets not recover the score, but the Suns' lead became more and more obvious. By the seventh minute after the start of the second quarter, the Hornets were 9 points behind. At the critical moment, not only Scott, but also Paul couldn't do it. When Scott didn't have time to tell the referee to change, Paul had already put on his jersey, put it on, and changed his teammates in a hurry.

Paul's joining immediately gave the Hornets an extra force. At the same time, there were two shooters who played with Paul - West and Peja. The two took turns to fire. Today's Peja is also old and strong, hitting two three-pointers in a row, plus West's two jump shots, the instant victory balance turned towards the Hornets. The team tilted.

Although the Suns have basically sent their main lineup, their bad defense can't bring much threat to the Hornets. The only well-defensive Bell in the Suns' current lineup can't defend - if he defends West, he is not tall enough, in such a shooter. He was too at a loss. If he defended Paul, it would be easy for Paul to pass him. Therefore, the Suns did not stop the offensive frenzy of the Hornets.

Unable to stop the Hornets defensively, the Suns can only fight back offensively, but what is a little painful is that the Suns have a considerable hit rate in the second quarter, so the Suns have begun to show their decline.

"Wh!" Paul just broke through the inside line of the dribbed net, tricked Nash into following him, and then came to the place near the free throw line. Paul suddenly stepped back sharply, making Nash, who was quite focused, almost fall to the ground. Paul steadily retreated to the periphery of the three-point line. The three-point shot hit, and the Suns' lead had been eroded to only one point in just more than ten minutes!

Fortunately, Nash also stabilized at the critical moment. He was also a little annoyed by Paul's ball that did not respect his predecessors, so at the end of the attack, he quickly controlled the ball and ran towards the half, and then he directly dribbled the ball and forcibly broke through. His body leaned on Paul to forcefully shoot, while shooting. He also cheated into a defensive foul.

Nash's free throw hit steadily, and the Suns led the Hornets by 4 points.

However, the following situation soon became chaotic again. Paul cheated Nash and Bell, assisted West to hit a jumper, and then assisted Chandler to slam dunk in the air. Suddenly, the Hornets had overtaken the Suns.

Encouraged by such favorable morale, the Hornets launched a charge again and again, and finally scored a two-pointer in the last second of the first half, and the Suns were four points behind the Hornets into the second half.

At the beginning of the second half, Zhang Chen stepped into the basketball court with his teammates. Paul was still cursing. He spoke while controlling the ball. Paul has always disliked braces, which is a fact that many people understand, but few people know the real reason... But according to the most reliable analysis, the reason why Paul doesn't wear braces is mostly because he likes to scold people on the basketball court, or direct his teammates when controlling the ball. It's too inconvenient to wear braces.

Paul used all his offensive talent this time, so he missed a sudden jump shot, but the rebound was grabbed by the fierce Chandler, and then made a direct dunk, and the basketball steadily hit the basket. This is nothing worse for the Suns. They originally had the first ball right after the start of the second half, but unfortunately, Zhang Chen missed the jump shot, giving the Hornets the opportunity to attack just now.

"Stabilize!" Nash spoke to his teammates while controlling the ball, and he also began to direct his teammates to fall with his right hand. However, when he came to one or two centimeters outside the three-point line, he immediately made a pull-out gesture, and the Suns players, who had long been very familiar with his gesture, immediately opened a space that could provide Nash's breakthrough. Nash saw that his teammates really pulled away, and then he did not drag at all and directly broke through the inside line.

Although Paul, who defends him, is much better than him in physical fitness, Nash still has many ways to make Paul's defense useless. This is also one of the most exciting places in this game, which is the confrontation between Paul and Nash's new and old point guards.

Nash forcibly broke through by Paul's side, and then he came near the free throw line and repeated his tricks again. He leaned on Paul's body and was ready to shoot again to cheat a 2+1, but Paul was quite smart. He had understood the abominable of this guy in what was fooled by Nash just now. So Paul also came a little gloomy.

Paul's body suddenly took a step back in the moment when Nash jumped up against himself. Suddenly, Nash in the sky became powerless because of the center of gravity and the suddenly lost backer. Suddenly, his basketball flew away from the basket obliquely, and the Hornets quickly seized the opportunity and began a considerable Fast and fierce fast attack, three-pronged, and finally dunked. The difference between the two sides came to 8 points, and it seems that the Suns are already a little precarious.

At the critical moment, you must pay attention to the opponent's No. 6 rookie, who is a quite amazing person... This is the iron and blood lesson that many team coaches have learned after studying countless games this season, so Scott involuntarily increased his attention to Zhang Chen. Of course, at the same time, he will not give up paying attention to the real ace of the Suns and Nash.

Another attack by the Suns, although Nash, who has always been gentle, is more or less angry in his eyes at this moment. After all, he received several annoying attacks or defenses from Paul in the game just now. In particular, Paul's sudden evacuation just now was quite insidious, and he almost let him shave off his front teeth.

Zhang Chen saw this situation and began to run. Morrison next to him had been following him. The two of them walked around the inside and outside, and the Suns' basketball also walked around the inside and outside during this period. Finally, because they couldn't crack the Hornets' defense, they had to pass it to Na again. What. At this time, Zhang Chen and Morrison have also finished wandering on the inside and have returned to the three-point line.

Although Morrison said that he had been trying his best to follow Zhang Chen, under the situation just now, under the ultimate support of Zhang Chen's nine-level speed, he had no way to completely stick to Zhang Chen, so when Zhang Chen returned to the outside line, Zhang Chen and he were still separated by a long distance.

"Pear the ball!" Zhang Chen roared loudly. Suddenly, Nash took action like electricity, and the basketball flew an unusually smooth distance and appeared in Zhang Chen's hand. And it took Zhang Chen a certain amount of time from catching the ball to holding the ball firmly. Taking such a little time, Morrison has caught up.

Zhang Chen dribbled the ball and took a step to the right. He just dodged Morrison, who rushed directly to defend, and then hit a three-pointer on the right. Finally, he helped the Suns get back three points, and the difference between the two sides became five points.

"It's really him!" Scott couldn't help sighing in his heart that the coaches' eyes were like torches. After all, many teams have to pay more attention to Nash and Xiao Si at critical moments, which created a lot of room for Zhang Chen to score.

Scott began to roar into the basketball court: "Hey! Pay attention to the number six... Don't let him score again!"

Morrison smiled bitterly. In fact, he has paid enough attention to Zhang Chen, but he can't find a good way to completely limit Zhang Chen's score. So when he heard Scott's voice, he could only say that he would try his best, and he couldn't help anything else.

However, Scott's voice still had a lot of influence on other Hornets players. They remembered Zhang Chen, who had scored 14 points so far in this game. This guy's internal and outward throwing is really abominable, so they focused more on Zhang Chen's defensive attention.

Nash's eyes were like torches, and he soon grasped the tricks in it. At that moment, he immediately directed his teammates to start running, and then let Zhang Chenkong cut into the inside line. In a short moment, the opponent regarded Zhang Chen, who cut in, as a life-and-death enemy and wrapped it up one after another. After all, it is difficult to maintain a defensive attention to each attacking player when setting multiple defensive points at the same time in a game. Therefore, the Hornets' defense soon developed a flaw.

Nash immediately passed the ball to Xiao Si on the inside line with a ground pass. Xiao Si did find a vacancy. At present, he was no longer hesitant and jumped high directly. A slam dunk hit, and the basket made a buzzing complaint. Xiao Si ignored it and directly beat his chest and feet, and roared up to the sky.

After this goal, although the Hornets just scored, they could not open the score with the Suns in a short moment, and now the offensive ball is back in their hands. Paul still controlled the ball slowly through the half, and at the same time began to command his teammates to find their positions.

The Hornets are quite eager to win today's game. After all, they are only the second in the West. They don't like their current position, but they have lost the opportunity to surpass the Suns' record, and the rest can only find some self-confidence in the Suns and beat them once.

With this idea, they don't want to fail.

Paul began to break through the inside line, but suddenly met the sudden defender Bell next to the free throw line. Although Bell could not completely defend Paul, it also cut off Paul's offensive line. When Paul came to the inside line, he could only choose to give up the attack among the elders and use a Pass the ball to relieve yourself.

It's just that when he jumped into the air, he looked around and found that his teammates rushed in and waited for the rebound. The players of the Suns could only follow, but they just blocked his passing route. Seeing that he was about to fall from the air to the ground, Paul quickly passed the basketball out.

However, at the moment he passed the ball, Paul secretly shouted that it was not good. Sure enough, Nash, not far away, suddenly stretched out his right hand. Although he could not complete the interception directly, it also made the basketball deviate from his predetermined track and flew out of the three-point line!

At this time, Zhang Chen is the only one left outside the three-point line.

Zhang Chen's current position is one step outside the three-point line, and he is quite close to the sideline. At this time, when he saw the basketball flying towards him, he was also ready to catch the ball, but the ball was a little naughty and did not go directly into Zhang Chen's arms as he wished, but towards the place outside the sideline. Rushed out. Zhang Chen had to jump high and chase outside the sideline. Finally, he captured the basketball not far from the sideline, and then he also fell outside the sideline. The basketball was pushed back to the basketball court by him.

As soon as Zhang Chen landed, he immediately returned to the basketball court, and then pushed the basketball forward, and then his body was full of nine-level firepower and caught up.

The moment Zhang Chen saved the ball on the outside line also led to the closer distance between the people behind him. However, Zhang Chen, who was not afraid of losing the ball, forcibly accelerated the dribble, which made them open the distance again. Then, Zhang Chen took three steps and two steps, and quickly caught up with the basketball, and one person flew towards the half!

The person who is chasing Zhang Chen closely is Morrison, but he was distanced by Zhang Chen's forced dribble just now. Now Zhang Chen has caught up with basketball, and his speed has also begun to play. Although his speed is not too fast because of the ball control technology, he has fallen behind him to get rid of it. Morrison, a distance away, is not difficult.

Zhang Chen soon came to the opponent's half, then scored the three-point line, and then dunked directly after a three-step layup!

The whole audience is boiling.
