Chapter 1042 Walker Shows Off (Second Update!)
After scoring this goal, Butler was very excited and rushed to Walker and shouted.
Walker was relatively calm. After high-fiving Butler, he looked back at Rozier, who had just gotten up.
That expression looked like he had done something very ordinary.
Tang Tian silently extended his thumb.
As expected, they both went to UConn together, and they all act the same way.
With a steady extra free throw, Walker scored the first 3 points for the Pelicans.
The Hornets' offense and Rozier's ball-handling organization from the outside.
He glanced at Batum, and he was preparing for a strategy.
But at this moment, there was a burst of commotion at the scene.
Because Butler did the same thing to Rozier.
Reach out, open your hands, palms up, and wave.
Come here!
Rozier provoked Walker, Butler stood up for his brother!
Rozier's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
After all, he is only a third-year student, and compared to Walker, his mentality is obviously more susceptible to fluctuations.
He gave up the idea of playing tactics and looked up towards the VIP box in the stands.
He knew Jordan was there watching him.
During yesterday's training session, Jordan chatted with him alone and said that he would watch his game tonight.
He can't be a coward!
And he won't be timid. Regardless of his strength, his confidence level is at the top of the league!
Reaching out his hand to pull away, he lowered his center of gravity and prepared to break through.
Although Butler is a swingman, he weighs close to 110 kilograms and mainly plays the third position. He has an advantage in speed.
He changed directions and crossed steps from left to right, preparing for an opportunity to break through.
But as soon as he made a move, Butler came right up.
Butler has a very high defensive IQ. He knows his disadvantages, so he doesn't give Rozier a chance to start at all.
Rozier didn't expect Butler to get up so fast and tried to dribble away. As a result, he was forced to retreat step by step and was about to retreat to midfield!
There was a lot of excitement on the sidelines.
This scene is a bit embarrassing!
Before Tatum took office, Butler was also one of the players who benefited from his defensive work, which inevitably resulted in physical contact.
The fur whistle had previously hampered him, but after the rule change, his defensive deterrence was significantly improved.
This is also a big reason why he was selected for the first team last season.
Although Xiao Hua took office in the new season, he did not change the penalty scale too much for the sake of stability, so Butler's deterrence is still very strong.
In the end, Rozier saved his face but failed to pass the ball, and when he was about to be forced into the midfield, he chose to dribble heavily to try to escape.
"Snapped!"
However, this approach quickly exposed the ball. Butler seized the opportunity and intercepted the ball abruptly!
Rozier wanted to grab back, but he dribbled too far in front and couldn't control his center of gravity, so he missed the ball and fell to the ground.
There was an uproar.
Being beaten 2+1 in the front was barely acceptable. After all, they all knew Walker's strength.
But being intercepted so abruptly while dribbling the ball, this performance, how can he become a super Walker in Jordan's eyes!
After Butler stole the ball, he looked back and saw Rozier falling to the ground, accelerating directly to the frontcourt and ending the round with a two-handed dunk.
5 to 0.
The score was not too surprising.
After all, no matter what team the Pelicans play, they will basically start with a crushing wave.
But what matters is the way the score is scored.
He was knocked down and dunked.
This is very disrespectful to the new boss of the Hornets!
VIP box.
Jordan's brows furrowed.
This Rozier is really not up to par.
He was actually shaken like that by Walker.
If it had been him before, even if the ball hadn't been broken, he would have turned around and blocked it.
And Butler, is that kind of strong defensively?
If it had been him before, he would have just jumped in.
He wasn't even double-teamed, but he was able to dribble the ball away?
Hornets offensive possession.
Rozier continued to dribble to the frontcourt.
If he knew what Jordan was thinking right now, he would probably vomit blood.
If he had Jordan's ability, could he still play in Charlotte?
But he is indeed a bit embarrassed. The Pelicans are clearly trying to make fun of him tonight!
"Jimmy, don't steal. Kemba doesn't have to play if you steal."
At this moment, he heard Tang Tian say to Butler.
"puff!"
He felt like he had spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Is this what people say?
Is this something humans do? !
What the hell did I do wrong for you to do this to me? !
No, the way of thinking is wrong.
You can insult me like this, Rozier? !
Rozier was angry, he was irritated by Tang Tian.
Continuous cross-steps flew up. Seeing that Butler had no intention of stealing, he accelerated and rushed in, and then took a difficult shot against Butler's defense.
"Bang!"
Blacksmithing.
Butler's defense is really not something that ordinary people can break through.
Dedmon easily picked up the defensive rebound.
The Hornets' offense still failed.
Tang Tian moved forward with the ball, and when he reached the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Walker, and then motioned for the others to pull away.
What he just said is true. Walker is the protagonist tonight. He and Butler are only supporting players and cannot steal Walker's limelight.
Walker looked a little excited when he took the ball.
With two brothers supporting him, he now feels stronger than ever.
Continuous low body cross steps, followed by the iconic change of direction in front of the body.
Rozier's eyes turned red and he took steps to defend himself, but still couldn't keep up.
At this moment, something that made the Hornets fans desperate and excited happened again.
Walker suddenly shook his hand and the ball passed directly under Rozier's crotch!
Before Rozier could turn around, Walker had already separated the ball and passed him directly!
This is where the show begins!
There were a lot of whistles.
Because he is in Charlotte, Walker's popularity has never been very high.
It might not even be as good as when he, Tang Tian, and Lamb led UConn to win the championship.
But in fact, his style of play is very exciting. Although his ball-handling skills are worse than Irving, his scoring methods are not bad.
He also played this kind of crotch ball when he was a Hornets player, but this time, he played it with Rozier, the new boss of the Hornets!
Kaminsky fought hard to save again.
Although his ability is a bit poor, this NCAA superstar from the University of Wisconsin has a really good defensive attitude.
Walker didn't slow down, and pulled the ball directly to the right, soaring into the air, and hit the board with an underhand basket through Kaminsky.
Kaminsky's vigorous defense hit Walker's wrist again, and the referee blew the whistle.
The ball passed Kaminsky's defense, hit the board high and then rebounded firmly into the frame!
2+1!
The second goal in today’s top five goals!
Walker, this is the rhythm to sweep the five best goals in the NBA today!
The eyes of the fans at the scene were indescribably complicated at this moment. This was once their Walker!
In the VIP box.
Jordan shook his head helplessly, then picked up a cigar from his side.
When men are irritable, they like to smoke a cigarette to relieve themselves.
It's just that he is the god of basketball. He doesn't smoke, he smokes cigars.
