Chapter 1082 You can take 10 points and count me as a loser
The Hornets' offense, Rozier's emergency stop jump shot after a single shot was still interfered with Butler.
After the opening, he made four consecutive shots, one was cut off, three times, and 0 of 4 shots!
In the NBA, we can't just look at the data if a player is really capable.
Data is sometimes very scammed.
You have to watch the game, and you have to see the player's performance against high-pressure defense.
Rozier's 20+5+5 data looks pretty good, but it's more because in the East, there is little defensive pressure in many games.
Moreover, in fact, putting aside the data itself, his 39.8% shooting percentage and 36% three-point shooting percentage are not good for a defender.
To put it bluntly, 7 consecutive losses plus this hit rate is definitely a big shot.
Just Jordan was bragging because of his stubbornness, and he didn't see anyone else, even Charlotte's media.
He is really much worse than Walker.
Walker was playing in the frontcourt, and dribbled behind the back with a change of direction in front of the body. After starting, he turned 180° in the air and scored a layup.
He was excited to fight, and everything came after his body was turned on.
The Hornets' head coach Clifford looked helpless. He touched his already naked head and reached out to signal the defense to substitution.
If Rozier continues to fight like this, he may really be beaten and autistic.
The Hornets replaced Batum to defend Walker, but they still did not have a good effect.
Although Batum is Walker's former teammate, he is a forward guard and a small forward, and his speed is a bit worse.
In this quarter, Butler and Tang Tiangan made wedding dresses, and Walker became the absolute protagonist on the field.
Walker's body was in good condition after he opened up. He was in a row and shot from inside and outside in this quarter. He scored 22 points in a single quarter, breaking his personal score record in a single quarter!
One interesting thing is that Walker's previous single-quarter scoring record was 19 points, which was obtained by the Hornets.
19 points are also the Hornets' team history single-quarter scoring record.
Walker went to the Pelicans and only played in Game 8, he had already broken the record.
The fans on the scene were in a complicated mood.
Inside the Vip box.
Jordan sucked a cigar hard.
I don’t know what happened to this cigar today, it’s a bit bitter.
At the end of the first quarter, the Pelicans led the Hornets 33-11.
In the second quarter, the Pelicans' substitute group continued to work hard and widened the gap to nearly 30 points under Brogdon's leadership.
The scene was also beaten up and restless.
Although many of them came for the Pelicans, the Hornets were their home team after all, and the game was a bit too cruel.
At the critical moment, Rozier, who made 0 of 7 shots in one quarter, made a move early and finally found some feelings on the court.
He first made a difficult three-pointer against Brogden's defensive shot from the outside, and then used Zeller's pick-and-roll to hit.
After scoring five points in a row, the Hornets helped narrow the gap to within 25 points.
At this time, both sides entered rotation one after another, and the main players of both teams came back to play.
Tang Tian came up to the ground and turned his back and scored a goal, temporarily stabilizing the situation on the court.
Rozier held the ball again, and his defender changed from Brogdon to Butler.
He seemed to have learned to be smart, and did not force Butler to hit him, but instead reached out to signal Gilchrist to make a pick-and-roll for himself.
Gilchrist is not as big as Kaminsky, but he is faster.
Although he was bypassed by Butler, he still blocked him.
Rozier's continuous scoring in front was also a little bit better. At this moment, he seized the opportunity and directly drilled through the defense.
Dedmont from the inside came out to help defend, and Rozier made a high-difficulty throw after jumping.
Dedmont had a good sense of defense and was very good at defending. He almost blocked Rozier's shooting sight and even blocked the ball.
But the ball finally crossed the defense and successfully fell into the pocket.
The referee's whistle also rang, signaling Dedmont to invade Rozier's shooting cylinder.
This is a 2+1!
Cheers burst into tears at the scene.
In this quarter, Rozier has scored 7 points!
This is a bit like the new boss of the Hornets!
After Rozier took action, he fell to the ground. After seeing the ball in, he jumped up from the ground and rushed to the sidelines, whipped his chest and roared very excitedly.
The fans on the scene also responded to him with greater cheers.
After yelling, he looked at Walker with a smug look on his face.
The expression seemed to say again: Look, I am the King of Charlotte now.
Tang Tian walked to Butler at this time and whispered for a while.
Rozier's chance to increase punishment.
His hands were hot, and he hit a steadily with extra punishment.
He swept the downward trend in the first quarter, scored 8 points in a row with 3 shots in this quarter, with an eye-catching performance.
Inside the Vip box.
Jordan was still smoking a cigar.
But at this time, he felt that the cigar tasted sweeter.
He said that he is the god of basketball and can never make mistakes when looking at people.
The Pelicans' offense, Walker failed to make a breakthrough layup.
When Rozier dribbled forward, he felt like he was about to float.
"Come on! Hornets!"
There were also neat cheers at the scene.
When the score difference was almost 30, the team had basically collapsed.
But after Rozier scored 8 points in a row, the difference reached 20 points, so there were only a total of them.
Although Davis is absent, if he accidentally beats the Pelicans, the Hornets and Rozier will be truly a god.
Rozier's mouth raised and he was very proud.
Then when he arrived at the frontcourt, his smile slowly closed.
The Pelicans have defensive adjustments, and the person who prevents him changes again, from Butler to Tang Tian!
Tang Tian, the best defensive player of the five generations!
Putting aside his identity as the first player in the league, he is also the strongest defensive player in the league!
He floated back and felt weak in his heart.
The shouts at the scene also slowly fell.
Tang Tian’s aura is there, and you expect Rozier to fight Tang Tian, everyone knows that it’s a bit unrealistic.
Rozier also turned to look at the players, and he was preparing to play tactics again.
"If you can get 10 points, I will lose."
But at this moment, Tang Tian said to him in a very calm tone.
This is not trash talk, there is no dirty word.
Nothing can even be considered provocation, after all, I didn't say I wanted to cut 100 points on your head.
But, very pretentious.
Rozier has already scored 8 points. The translation of this sentence means that if you can score another goal, I will lose.
Rozier is also the core of the weak team, which is really a show-off.
Rozier reached out and signaled Gilchrist to pick-and-roll again.
He is not a player who is good at basketball IQ, but he has a strong sense of self-confidence and unparalleled confidence.
He really wanted to slap Tang Tian in the face today.
Gilchrist's pick-and-roll came over, and he aimed at the opportunity and broke through directly.
"Bang!"
But as soon as he accelerated, he felt a lightening in his hand.
Tang Tian is not Butler, his awareness and ability around the pick-and-roll are the only league.
His breakthrough guy has passed, but the ball... is gone!
Chapter completed!
