Chapter 665

On the morning of the 12th, the league officially opened the All-Star voting channel.

This evening, the Suns ushered in a challenge from the Hornets at home.

Announce the first lineup before the game.

Hornets, Chandler, PJ Brown, Desmond Mason, Russell Butler, Chris Paul.

Suns: Lee Ba, Marion, Battier, Tony Allen, Barbosa.

The game was broadcast live by CCTV. At this time, Zhang Lili began to analyze the comparison of the lineups of the two sides, saying:

"The Hornets are currently 8 wins and 12 losses, outside the ranks of the playoffs. But their internal strength is still very strong. Tyson Chandler, PT Brown, these are all defensive champions, and they have strong rebounding ability.

Mason on the front line is also good. He is the Hornets' fourth scoring point this season, averaging 11+4 per game.

On the back line, the second position is a little bit worse, and Paul, the No. 4 pick at the first position, performed very well. After one and a half months, he averaged 14+5+7+2 per game, which is very strong! "

"His stealing ability is very strong, averaging two per game. As a point guard, he also has strong rebounding ability, not to mention assists."

Yu Jia nodded.

"But in terms of strength, the Suns should win this match." Zhang Lili laughed.

"Teacher Zhang is right." Yu Jia said with a smile.

The starters of the two teams met at the entrance of the corridor at this time, waiting to go out.

"Tyson, how many hats are you going to get from me this time?" Li Ba said as soon as they met.

Chandler smiled and said, "Boss, don't worry, I won't give you a chance."

A few teammates around him slapped their faces. They are not on the same team and they are called the boss. Maybe they were beaten badly in the Suns locker room?

"Ah owe!"

Chandler sneezed for no apparent reason.

Li Ba glanced at Chris Paul, who was staring at him.

"I watched the draft, and you have a good relationship with that old man LeBron James?" Li Ba asked suddenly.

"Puchi!" Someone laughed.

Chris Paul is also cheeky.

"Yes, we were in the Nike training camp in high school, and we had a good relationship," he said.

"Nike?"

Hearing this brand, Li Ba didn't like it.

According to his and Bill Duffy's estimates, the influence of big brands such as Nike must have penetrated into the selection of MVP, and Nash's sponsor is Nike.

"Rookie, I'll give you a piece of advice. The shooting percentage is the highest when you shoot close to the basket. Don't shoot outside like others. You have to learn to be close to the basket like Jordan."

He said to Chris Paul sincerely.

"Damn it, how much do you want to hate me?"

Chris Paul moved his lips, trying to spit out some trash talk, but finally held back.

This guy isn't very good-tempered, but it's not worth getting a beating.

The two teams played one after another. After warming up, the game began.

"Fuck them!"

"Fuck them to death!"

Before starting the game, under the leadership of Li Ba, the audience in the Meixi Arena began to chant the slogan of this season.

"How rude!"

Chris Paul complained.

"Shut up, rookie, you are not qualified to judge the slogans shouted by the Hammer boss." Chandler said coldly from the side.

"He is your boss, not mine. Also, you are now a Hornets player, not a Suns player."

Chris Paul jumped up.

"Rookie, I told you to shut up!" Chandler pointed at Paoke, his face turned cold.

"You?" Chris Paul was about to explode.

But as a rookie, and Chandler came from the No. 2 pick and is also very strong, he still doesn't have the confidence to stand up, so he has to shut up.

Coach Scott shook his head, the locker room was a little unstable, and he was a little helpless.

Li Ba noticed the situation here, gave Chandler a thumbs up, and shouted: "Tyson, your dragon slaying skills are better than Stephen's."

Chandler smiled smugly.

Paul's eyes were about to burst into flames. He didn't believe James said that the hammer was hateful before, but now he understands it.

Next, Li Ba and Chandler jumped the ball, the latter touched the ball first, and the Hornets attacked.

The Suns quickly returned to defense, and Li Ba was located below the free throw line, leaving Chandler empty.

Chandler played with Li Ba for a season and was his main backup, so he knows him too well.

He didn't go to the basket to ask for a space, but directly stuck to Li Ba, and blocked his arm in front to prevent Li Ba from helping to defend the top of the arc.

"Tyson, you've learned badly!" Li Ba complained.

"It's from the old university." Chandler laughed.

Chris Paul saw such a big open space under the basket, but the old bird Chandler turned a blind eye and whispered to him next to the hammer, very sullen.

The defense in front of him is Tony Allen. The Suns are now on the defensive end, and Barbosa and Tony Allen switch defenses in many cases.

Tony Allen played a stalking defense, he felt a little annoyed, and beckoned to Chandler, let him come up to do the pick-and-roll.

Although Chandler was fighting for the top spot, he played the same way as Li Ba did. He played strictly according to tactics. After seeing Paul's gesture, he immediately left Li Ba and stepped onto the top of the arc.

Although Paul is just a rookie, he is the Hornets' starting point guard. According to Li Ba's habit, he needs to know before the game.

This rookie has a very strong ability to handle the ball, can shoot suddenly and pass.

On the offensive end, he has a fadeaway mid-range shot, which is very accurate and has a lot of pull-ups. He is good at pull-up jumpers on the spot after the pick-and-roll.

So now, is he going to pull directly after the pick-and-roll?

As soon as Chandler blocked Tony Allen, Paul took a step sideways and pulled up directly.

But at this moment, a giant suddenly appeared from behind Chandler, and slapped the ball away before he had time to release it.

"Oh! Hammer gave the rookie a blood cap..." The Sun team commentator quickly started his roar.

"Little rookie, as the No. 4 show, I have many gifts for you, are you happy?"

Another rookie who was picked ahead of him in the draft, Li Ba happily sprayed.

Chris Paul gritted his teeth, and he will return the ball.

"I knew it." Chandler muttered aside.

The Hornets attacked again, and Li Ba slapped the ball out of the baseline. To serve from the baseline, there were still 17 seconds left in the attack time.

"Tony, press him all the way!"

Li Ba pointed at Paul and shouted loudly.

He wanted to help Chandler out of the rookie's limelight.

Although Paul is a rookie, his ability to handle the ball is really not good. He is very strong. Tony Allen's pressing cannot stop him from advancing, and he has successfully reached the frontcourt.

Li Ba went below the free throw line again.

He thinks this pit has great potential. With so many players in the league, there will always be some pig heads bumping into it.

He put a lock on PJ Brown in the back, someone he couldn't see.

On the right wing, PJ Brown saw that Li Ba was going up again, and Chandler didn't stay under the basket. With such a big open space, he immediately pushed Marion away and rushed to the basket.

In other words, he wanted to go in just now, but he didn't have time.
