456: The birth of the perfect number(1/3)
Chris Paul sat on the bench, very helpless.
He really didn't expect that the score difference in this game would be so exaggerated.
The Hornets played against the Suns four times in the regular season, and the most they lost was by 14 points.
As of today's game, the Hornets are already 35 points behind.
Paul only scored a total of 7 points today.
That's right, 7 points.
Then why are you laughing? Pao'er has obviously made great progress. He scored 6 points in the three-point contest and 7 points today. This is a small step for Paul, but a giant step for the Hornets.
Paul originally said that he would seek power and usurp the throne today, but in the end he was beaten to the point where he didn't recognize the horse anymore.
However, always think on the bright side.
Although we are currently 35 points behind, after the garbage time, we should be able to get the point difference back to 20 points.
Thinking about it this way...it seems like I didn't lose much today, it was a bad fight!
Well, keep up the good work in the next game and make Li Ang pay the price with blood!
In this playoffs, we have to take it one step at a time.
Paul may not have noticed that he comforted himself like this every time he lost to Li Ang.
One after another, one after another.
It’s only been a season, boss!
If Li Ang knew that Paul was still so optimistic, he might even want to give up on the mission.
Everyone has a very strong self-healing ability, but Paul has a very strong self-healing ability!
Since the 2006 World Championships in Japan, Paul has been clamoring to surpass James and defeat Leon.
As a result, the goal has not been achieved so far.
But have you seen him give up? Have you seen him become discouraged?
He even has the illusion that "I have the advantage."
At this time, the whole world is sighing with emotion at Li Ang's performance today.
Everyone did not expect that Li Ang would take the initiative to confront Paul today, and they did not expect that Paul would be beaten so badly.
He only scored 7 points in a single game. It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Ang completely locked Paul up.
It can only be said that Master Tang is indeed very confident in Li Ang, and his research on wasps is indeed very thorough.
Historically, the Hornets were swept by the Nuggets in the 2009 playoffs. The biggest reason was that Paul was contained by Billups.
As long as someone can take down Paul, the Hornets will be vulnerable.
This is called seizing the G-spot and attacking.
Now, Master Tang has also used this to defeat the Hornets.
There is a difference between a team with a master and a team without a master, just like a family with a woman and a family without a woman.
The game is still going on, but because garbage time has arrived, everyone doesn't care much about the game.
However, Rondo and Millsap are still very excited.
As soon as Rondo came up, he started a pick-and-roll with Millsap and successfully broke through the penalty area and scored a layup.
Under the basket, no one can withstand the impact of center Long.
Paul cursed secretly, "Shameless" for working so hard during garbage time.
But it doesn't matter, the Suns' main players are down, so it's impossible for the score to be widened again.
However, soon, Paul heard another burst of cheers from the scene.
This is the home court of the Suns, so there is only one possibility for the cheers to come out, and that is that the Suns have scored again.
Paul looked up and found Rondo celebrating. Then he looked up at the score. He was originally 35 points behind, but now he was 39 points behind!
Why are you suddenly 4 points behind?
Didn’t the Suns just score a goal? Why did they score another one?
After watching the replay on the big screen, Paul almost lost his temper and became a little short. He almost lost his temper from 183 to 158.
Just after Rondo scored, the Hornets served from the backcourt.
This is just an ordinary baseline serve, nothing special.
But Hilton Armstrong, the first-year center of the Hornets, didn't know what was going on. He ignored the two teammates in front of him, one on the left and one on the right, and refused to pass the ball. He insisted on throwing the ball in the middle of the two players.
The two backup guards of the Hornets did not immediately get the ball, and just watched the basketball pass by them.
Maybe it was because it was garbage time, so they played a little absent-mindedly. But just because they were absent-minded, it doesn't mean that everyone was absent-minded.
Rondo took a look and realized, isn’t this ball coming towards me?
Since none of you want it...then I'll accept it?
So he made a counterattack and actually stole the basketball before the three Hornets players could react!
Seeing that his baseline serve was intercepted, Armstrong rushed out to stop Rondo from rushing towards the frame.
Rondo leaned on Armstrong and forced a layup. Not only did the ball go in, the referee also called a defensive foul.
In other words, Rondo still has to add penalties on the free throw line!
Armstrong might as well not have to defend!
His wave of Armstrong spin-accelerating jet Armstrong cannons directly knocked Paul unconscious.
Ning is the commander of the artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment, right?
If the pass misses by just a few centimeters, Rondo may not be able to complete the steal.
Rondo beat his chest and roared on the court, then stood at the free throw line.
Although Paul was very angry, he was still very happy because of his optimism.
Fortunately, Rondo is not good at shooting, and he will definitely not be able to make free throws.
Rondo's free throw shooting rate this season is only 64.7%. For comparison, O'Neal's free throw shooting rate at the peak of the 02-03 season was 62.2%.
So it is no exaggeration to say that Rondo's dominance at the free throw line has surpassed that of a historical center.
Paul felt that he would definitely not be able to get in!
It is true that Rondo's free throw shooting percentage is very low, but this time, Rondo made a very gentle free throw and scored 5 points in a row!
This also means that the Hornets are already 40 points behind!
"Ah, this..." Paul lost his composure for a moment. Being behind by 35 points and being behind by 40 points, although in fact they are not much different, they sound very different.
Less than 15 centimeters and almost 20 centimeters, do they sound the same?
Paul pointed at the court and yelled: "How can you gain points in your garbage time by riding a horse!?"
But Rondo just spread his hands: "Your people passed it to me. How can this be called a brush?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, Li Ang also found that things were turning for the better. Since he was already 40 points ahead, be bold...
"Londo, what are you doing? I'm warning you, don't score points during your garbage time!"
"No, Brother Li, I..."
"What am I? You must not think about scoring points. Don't think about breaking through their weak inside line. Don't think about passing the ball to Millsap and other inside players to score. Don't think about scoring points anymore.
Ah, otherwise I will wash you in minutes!"
When Rondo heard...Brother Li, if you say that, I suddenly became enlightened!
Attack the inside, right? That’s it!
Paul stared at Li Ang, what the hell are you trying to teach him to increase his points?
Li Ang saw Paul staring at him with suspicion, so he shouted again: "I am inseparable from the points scorer!"
Good guy, Paul is straight up good guy.
He was beaten up by Li Ang in a fancy way on the court, and Paul even admitted it.
But I didn't expect that Li Ang could still affect the game after he finished the game.
Paul swallowed. The 40-point difference should not get wider... right?
The game continues with the Hornets attacking.
In fact, not everyone here in the Suns is like Paul and Millsap, who are still so serious in their garbage time.
James Jones was playing absentmindedly at this time and easily gave Devin Brown an open three-point opportunity.
But Brown still failed to make a shot when faced with a wide open space.
Paul was so anxious that he really wanted to yell: "If you go to participate in the three-point contest with three-pointers, you will probably break Jordan's record!"
