340 Exposure
"Bang!" The sound of the block sounded in the court, crisp and clear. Through the replay of the big screen, you can see that Peja just wanted a light and dexterous breakthrough, so he shook Garinari, who came to defend with a shooting fake action, and quickly broke into the inside line. The arrival of Peja soon made Randov ready, and then Randov jumped up to block Peja. Peja straightened his old waist and completed a difficult air dodge in the sky, and finally reluctantly dodged Landov. At this time, his body had begun to fall. If he didn't do it again, it would be a second time.
Therefore, Peja had only one way to go at this time, and his teammates saw that he was about to take action and shouted out to be careful. In fact, Peja also found the imminent threat, but his current situation did not allow him to dodge at all. He could only throw the ball. Whether it can be won or not.
So, the basketball shot, and the guy his teammates asked him to be careful also came to the sky. His right hand was not big, but now he was slapped down the basketball that went to the rebound.
Peja was intimidated in this way. After seeing that the basketball was slapped hard by Zhang Chen with his right hand, he rushed down to the ground in high-speed movement, and then bounced up on the ground and came to David. In Li's hands. Only then did Peja fully understand that his little breakthrough was over, and Zhang Chen cracked him with a block.
Zhang Chen's defensive ability has been greatly improved after the recent promotion, and the composition of his current defensive ability is also relatively mottled, including the block and the ability to steal. Although some people say that every block is a failed defense, even so, no one can deny it. How much does the block play a role in boosting morale on the court?
The Knicks have no time to launch a fast attack. The basketball slowly controlled the half-court in Du Hong's hands, and in the process of running, Randorf has been making noise in Zhang Chen's ear: "Hey, Chen, I think you have to admit that the ball just now is because my front defense interferes with Peja, no However, you definitely won't have a chance to block him.
Zhang Chen was annoyed by these words and quickly begged for mercy and said, "Okay, okay, I know. Thank you for your interference, otherwise I can't cover him."
Randorff nodded proudly, and then came to the inside line to guard. Du Hong gave the offensive power to David, who had just grabbed the basketball. Lee, David. Using his more and more proficient footsteps, Li shook the opponent's defense under the basket, and then turned sideways for a layup, and the basketball hit obediently.
The Knicks overtached another point.
"Daw..." The Hornets' members saw this situation and immediately sighed in their hearts. They didn't expect that they had a chance to directly overtake the score and then have been far ahead of the opponent. Now this opportunity has slipped away quietly. This made them feel bored.
However, the attack has to continue. Their next attack made West hit a jump shot at 17 feet, and the 17-foot assassin did reflect the accuracy in this position. The Knicks also used a Garinari's mid-range jumper to return the color, and then neither team scored much.
At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two sides was 72:72, and the two teams drew again, which made the audience feel annoyed. At the same time, they also looked forward to the arrival of the fourth quarter, even if the Knicks lost. They all hope to win as soon as possible today.
The current situation is really too entangled. The two teams either score each other harmoniously and let the score rise alternately, or they can harmoniously make a false balance and keep the scores of the two teams in a draw.
They are all fed up with this situation and eager to see a change in the situation, so the fourth quarter of the game became the field that everyone expected.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, both teams sent their strongest lineups. They both decided to fight to the death of the game after the beginning of the fourth quarter. The ball right of the first ball was in the hands of the Knicks. Zhang Chen controlled the ball again and stopped near the three-point line.
"Defense, defense!" Paul shouted happily, allowing everyone to quickly form a defensive formation, not only to be able to defend Zhang Chen's breakthrough, but also to be able to defend Zhang Chen's long-range shot. The person who defends Zhang Chen is still Percy. The veteran is not discouraged after eating a lot of losses from Zhang Chen. He is still in front of Zhang Chen seriously as always. For a veteran like him who has gone through many years of league ups and downs, many times his personal gains and losses are not important. The most important thing is that he can Do what you can in your own job.
Posey felt that his duty was to do his best to defend Zhang Chen, so he did not dare to relax at all. This time, when Zhang Chen just came to a small stop outside the three-point line, he immediately forced him up.
However, Zhang Chen just stopped to prepare for a jump shot. He saw that Randorff and David Lee on the inside should be able to protect the front-court rebounds, so he decided to take a long shot to see if he could maintain a pretty good state today.
Therefore, Zhang Chen ignored the approaching Posey, but took a jump shot directly one step outside the three-point line.
The audience exclaimed that Zhang Chen was so bold. In this stalemate of the score situation, he dared to jump and throw at such a distance. This courage really surprised everyone.
However, the penetration of basketball and Zhang Chen's shooting rate are even more surprising. After gliding a long distance, this ultra-distance shot fell into the basket, which not only increased Zhang Chen's score to 32 points, but also made the Knicks three points ahead of the Hornets.
One point and two points ahead of the Hornets is still a relatively harmonious data, because that will become a prelude to the alternating rise of scores between the two teams or the alternating lead of two teams, but when one team leads by three points, this delicate situation will be broken.
Seeing this situation and seeing the murderous Zhang Chen, Paul was a little worried. He directly controlled the ball through the half, and then divided the ball to Peterson on the outside line after a seemingly realistic breakthrough. Peterson jumped out without hesitation, and the basketball flew out into the sky.
Paul's passing ability is unquestionable, otherwise he can't be the first point guard in the league, but a pass is converted into an attack. In addition to passing the ball cleverly enough, the most fundamental reason is whether the person he passed the ball to can fully bear it. Take this burden.
Obviously, Paul miscalculated. Peterson's jump shot hit the basket and was caught by David Lee. After David Lee caught the rebound, his preferred target was his good friend Zhang Chen.
"Chen, catch the ball!" The basketball left David. Li's hands quickly flew directly towards Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen received the pass and immediately ran towards the half. Zhang Chen's speed was soon impossible to defend. In the roar, he had skimmed the defense of the first line of defense Peterson. It seems that Zhang Chen is unreasonable and continues to rush forward. Everyone even thinks that Zhang Chen's speed can spark a series of frictions with the air.
Zhang Chen came outside the three-point line of the Hornets. At this time, Posey also stood in front of Zhang Chen. He bowed his waist and bent his center of gravity. In his opinion, Zhang Chen's ball was definitely going to break through and then make a light layup or a frightening heavy dunk. Who knew Zhang Chen's It's not like that.
Zhang Chen saw that Posey was in front of him, and his center of gravity was very low and low. Suddenly, he dissipated his idea of directly entering the inside line. When he came to the third line, he suddenly jumped high.
This dry pull made Posey feel caught off guard. Posey's original estimate was wrong, which made him lose a lot of favorable defensive opportunities, and Zhang Chen also took advantage of this time to soar directly into the sky and spread his body in the sky. The basketball drew a full arc through the thrust of his right hand and flew into the distance. In the past.
"Wh!" Zhang Chen hit the basket, and the three-pointer plunged into the net with the roaring wind, widening the score gap to 6 points. Now the Hornets can be said to have made a sharp turn. Although the Hornets' record has dropped significantly this season, they are still a strong team anyway. As long as Paul is there, the Hornets will not fall into the lottery zone. In the previous game, the Hornets had been competing with the Knicks, and the score rose alternately. In this case, everyone realized the Knicks' lasting fighting ability, and the situation continued to develop until just now, the Knicks suddenly led the Hornets by six points after Zhang Chen's two three-pointers, which made many people come to watch the game. Everyone in the competition was shocked.
The Hornets are the sixth place in the West and the Knicks are the sixth in the East. The competition between the two teams at the beginning is still reasonable. The two teams have launched a life-and-death battle, but they always miss the opportunity to kill their opponents in one fell swoop. Now the sudden rise of the Knicks, I don't know. Can they stand up until they win the game?
Everyone focused their attention on Paul. Paul's just assist turned into a jump shot, which also made his eyebrows have a sense of not being angry and spontaneous. This time, he directly made a gesture, and then summoned Chandler from the inside line to block it. Chandler came to Paul's side. Paul rushed directly from his side and bypassed Du Hong's defense. Zhang Chen also hurried up at this time and couldn't let Paul do anything at this critical moment.
Paul put away the ball, like a thin and slippery loach, and slipped directly to Zhang Chen's body. Zhang Chen could not stop him, and Paul directly inserted the inside line like this. At this time, Chandler also came back tacitly and jumped into the sky, and Paul also At this time, holding the ball into the air, Chandler grabbed the basketball and pressed it into the basket, and the Hornets recovered two points.
The following is whether the Knicks can keep their lead.
Zhang Chen began a breakthrough in the opponent's inner line. He took the basket directly with his own speed and breakthrough technology. The other party trapped Zhang Chen in the inner line. After all, Zhang Chen's physical strength decreased, and it was impossible to fight against the defense of such several people at the same time, so he could only pass the basketball out and pass it to Du on the outside line. In Hong's hand.
After attracting the opponent's defensive vision, Du Hong once again transferred the basketball in his hand and passed it to the hand of Gallinari, who was beside him. After receiving the pass, although Gallinari knew what the ball meant, he did not have any timidity, but shot outside the three-point line.
Everyone was watching whether the ball could enter obediently, and the basketball quickly gave its own answer and got into the net.
"Wh!" The voice was crisp and touching, and the Knicks opened the gap of 7 points. This series of three-pointers beat the Hornets black and blue. The audience cheered, and the rising waves kept rolling in the sky. The Knicks finally took the initiative.
In the next few minutes, Zhang Chen used his own scoring and stable dribble, coupled with the strength and control of the insider Randolph, coupled with David Lee's two pairs of kings, this series of attacks and defense, the Hornets were at a disadvantage in the score, so they were beaten by the Knicks. If it hadn't been for Paul's support, the Hornets would have collapsed immediately.
With three minutes left in the game, the score between the Knicks and the Hornets was 99:87, and the Knicks had led by 12 points. This difference turned the foreheads of all the Hornets into a huge Sichuan character. However, the Hornets were not discouraged at all. After a timeout came back, the Bees began to show off.
The queen bee is poisonous. This guy has scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and 4 steals so far this game. This gorgeous and trembling data also maintains the Hornets so that they will not be swallowed up by the Knicks' offensive frenzy. Now, the poisonous queen bee began to show his stinger again and began to lead the Hornets to fight back.
The Hornets' counterattack was carried out in a combined attack between the inside and outside. Paul sent two assists in two minutes and scored five points, raising his data to 25 points, 10 rebounds, 14 assists and 5 steals. Fortunately, his number of steals is still much worse, otherwise the Knicks may become a quadruple-double. The ancient background.
In a counterattack frenzy led by Paul, the score of the two sides became 103:98, with 50 seconds left, and the situation was precarious.
At this critical moment, the Hornets have begun to take foul tactics. The first person to be fouled was Du Hong. Du Hong hit two free throws, but Paul hit a three-pointer, making the score 105:101. The Hornets are only four points away.
Then Zhang Chen was fouled. Zhang Chen made two free throws, and then the Hornets missed the three-point jump shot, but Peja grabbed the rebound and hit himself, and the score became 107:103. At this time, there were still 12 seconds left.
Attack and defense conversion. After receiving the ball, Zhang Chen did not wait for his opponent to foul. He directly gave a long pass to Randorf, who rushed to the opponent's half. Randorf roared and completed a big slam dunk, making the score 109:103. At this time, there were only five seconds left, and the Hornets finally gave up this. The game.
In the end, the score was fixed at 109:103. The Knicks led the Hornets by six points and won a victory after two consecutive defeats.
In the whole game, Zhang Chen scored 45 points, 3 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal. Randolph scored 11 points and 14 rebounds, David Lee got 11 points and 6 rebounds, Gallinari 13 points, and Du Hong had 4 assists. This is also a good game for everyone. In this game, they and the Hornets many times. After a competition, the game has been recovering the lost land, and the situation has not changed until the last quarter.
In contrast, today's Hornets also played well, but they met the Knicks. The Hornets also suffered two consecutive defeats because of losing to the Knicks, and their record fell to the seventh in the West. Although the Knicks defeated their opponents, they were still one win away from catching up with the 76ers.
In the whole game, Paul can be said to be a double star of this game with Zhang Chen. Paul scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, 14 assists and 5 steals alone. This gorgeous data made many data enthusiasts shine. It's just that if a game fails, no matter how gorgeous the data is, it will lose its meaning in the eyes of the parties. Paul is talking to Zhang Chen with a wry smile: "Hey, Chen, your team looks good."
Zhang Chen smiled and said, "That's natural! I have a group of excellent teammates.
"That's not necessarily... I think your team is mainly because of your relationship... Think about it, if you can go to a team where a point guard can often call out more than 10 assists...?" Paul kept shaking his eyebrows and looked very interesting.
"Haha..." Zhang Chen patted Paul on the shoulder: "Damn Chris, get out of here! Stop sovoking discord. That's useless to me. I've already fallen in love with this team.
"Really?" Paul was a little strange, and then suddenly said, "It seems that it's true. You have a good relationship with your teammates."
"Well, yes... See you then, Chris..."
"See you later. I hope to see you at the Phoenix Tournament."
Zhang Chen was a little stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, he also understood that Paul was talking about the All-Star Game.
After the two hugged and said goodbye, Zhang Chen walked into the player's passage, took off his right arm as he walked, and then went to the locker room to clean up a little. He really didn't want to go to today's press conference, because it would increase his fatigue. Unfortunately, D'Anthony was completely different. I mean.
Zhang Chen did not play in the second quarter of this game, which is already suspicious. If Zhang Chen does not attend the press conference, it is estimated that there will be a view of discord between the Knicks and apprentices. At that time, it will not be good for both D. Anthony and Zhang Chen, so Zhang Chen can only follow De'an with a sad face. Behind Tony.
At this time, the mobile phone in his trousers pocket rang. Zhang Chen picked it up and saw that it was Liu Xuan. Zhang Chen borrowed it and came to connect the phone of this old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Hey, Liu Xuan, long time no see!"
"Yes, long time no see... But I'm here to tell you some bad news today."
"What bad news?" Zhang Chen's heart sank a little.
"In a word, you have suffered this time. The media has disclosed some news that is not conducive to your private life..."
