Chapter 95 (1/2)

In the competition stage, Pau Gasol won the right to attack with his height and arm length.

Mike Conley pushed cautiously forward, and the Grizzlies played very slowly. Hollins's demand today is to be cautious. Whoever can control the mistakes in this key game can control the situation.

Conley was just outside the three-point line when Chris Paul started his show.

Paul's defense is very tough, and it's not enough to say that his defense is a little dirty. In order to defend successfully, Paul doesn't mind using some small moves to achieve the effect.

How fierce was Paul's defense? Wade once said: on the basketball court, Chris Paul doesn't treat anyone as a friend.

Even if it's a good friend of his own, Paul will do it, and Conley and Paul are far from friends.

Paul's close defense makes Conley very uncomfortable. He doesn't want to organize the attack now, but he finds it difficult to control the ball. If you're not careful, Paul can grab the flaw and poke the ball away.

Although Conley has been in the League for four years at this time, it is far from mature.

In the end, Conley had to give the ball to guy who came out. As the number one scorer of the Grizzlies, guy naturally wants to be the top scorer in this crucial game.

However, Ariza's defense is no joke. Guy's first attempt to break through was forced to stop by Ariza.

Guy didn't pass the ball and didn't continue to bite his teeth. Instead, he suddenly stopped the jump shot!

”Damn it!” Hollins covered his forehead, and the guy's old habit came back. When he met tough defense, he tried to solve the problem with a quick stop jump shot, which was almost the most inefficient offensive method of guy.

Sure enough, Rudy Gay's shot went through the box with Ariza on his face. The Grizzlies failed in their first attack, which was demoralizing.

”The Hornets defense is very good, almost every position has a strong defender.” Kenny Smith applauded the Hornets for their excellent defense, but after saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Italian defender Mario bellinelli.

The only defensive weakness of the Hornets may be bellinelli. Just don't know, link that drop draft, can help Grizzlies open the situation.

For the Hornets, Chris Paul is much more calm than Conley. Although Conley's defense was also strong, Paul was not affected at all.

He walked out of the three-point line and began to command the attack calmly. West put on the screen and Paul waited for the opportunity to break through.

Although Paul is a ”pass first” style point guard, anyone who dares to underestimate his scoring ability will be punished.

Seeing Paul break through, the Grizzlies' defense had to shrink. Paul looked at all directions, and with a slight wrist shake, he passed the ball very smartly.

What basketball found was no one else, it was Italian defender bellinelli who was ambushed in the bottom corner on the right.

Paul just saw that No. 0 Chinese was also taking a few steps under the basket, so he decided to pass the ball to the Italian. He believes that as long as there is a little space, bellinelli can shoot from afar and score goals.

”Coming!” Bellinelli can't wait to receive the basketball, a shooter can play next to Paul's level of point guard, is really a great blessing. As long as you get the chance, you don't have to worry about the point guard not seeing it.

After catching the ball, taking off, pressing his wrists and fingers, bellinelli's shooting action was completed in one go. He feels good, and if he can make a shot, nine out of ten can hit.

However, just as bellinelli had just pushed the ball, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of the Italian defender.

”What?” Just as bellinelli was stunned, ”shadow” waved his arm and flew his shot directly to the audience.

Originally lively scene suddenly quiet for a second, everyone was stunned, including Paul.

”It's... Incredible. Link blocked belinelli's shot directly outside the three-point line. When Paul passed the ball, bellinelli was clearly open. But it was the right time for him to catch the ball. This guy last game by Cowell outside the three-point line played a good performance, it seems that today, link does not want to let such things happen again

Barkley laughed. Don't underestimate the draft!

Paul is also a little surprised, his pass is no problem, belinelli's shot is not a problem. The question is, why is that number 0 so sensitive? If he was going to shrink from the start, he couldn't think faster than the pass.

So there's only one possibility - the number 0 is deliberately pretending to shrink and induce himself to pass!

Paul shook his head at the thought. No, it's just a drop in the draft. It can't be that smart.
