The Bengals easily won the first game of the first round of the playoffs. After a day's rest, the Bengals once again faced the challenge of the Hornets at home in San Francisco.
The game started. The Tigers changed their lineup. Carter replaced Tracy McGrady at the small forward position in the starting lineup. The two brothers basically took turns starting at other positions. Iverson was still the starting point guard. Marbury didn't want to
The reason why he started is because he believes that when the sixth man has more opportunities to perform, he also won the title of the best sixth man of the season.
The first wave of offensive possession was obtained by Yao Ming. Yao Ming handed the ball to Iverson.
Iverson faced Austin Rivers and made another dazzling dribbling. Rivers was used to it. He was calm and composed. Iverson finally passed Rivers. This time Iverson was very patient.
Knowing that Rivers would deceive Iverson and pass Rivers, Anthony Davis quickly stepped forward to cover up Iverson's left hand and passed the ball from behind Davis to Yao Ming.
The Tigers came up with an easy hit to score their first possession.
Looking back, Rivers Jr. was of course not to be outdone. He used almost the same method and worked hard to get past Iverson. Carter's defense in front was timely, and Rivers Jr. missed the shot.
It was passed to Eric Gordon. Eric Gordon took the ball and did not take a shot quickly. Yang Zhenxing quickly followed up. Eric Gordon's opportunity was fleeting and Gordon retreated beyond the three-point line.
, it looks like he is going to start a singles fight
Eric Gordon fought with full force. In the last game, he was entangled by Yang Zhenxing and was very unhappy. This time he wanted to go it alone and try to give the team a good start. Eric Gordon
He stepped back and made a jump shot. Yang Zhenxing quickly rushed to block the shot, but Gordon had already taken the shot. Gordon's shot speed is well known in the league.
Brush! Gordon's mid-range shot was made.
Gordon breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Humph, let me in anyway."
Yang Zhenxing didn't say anything, thinking to himself, "I'll make you unable to even touch the ball later, hum."
Yao Ming's inside singles, Davis was defending at first, and another player came up to help defend. Yao Ming saw that it was Eric Gordon who came up to help defend, so Yang Zhenxing must have missed it at this time. Yao Ming and Yang Zhenxing cooperated.
After such a long time, he seemed to be able to sense Yang Zhenxing's position at the moment. Yao Ming immediately turned around and passed the ball to Yang Zhenxing outside the three-point line. Yang Zhenxing really had a chance. At this time, he never hesitated. Yang Zhenxing had already
I knew that Yao Ming could pass this kind of ball. Yang Zhenxing had already prepared for it. He caught the ball very comfortably. Yang Zhenxing barely made any adjustments and took the shot right away.
Little Rivers rushed towards Yang Zhenxing from the front, but Yang Zhenxing ignored him
Brush! The three-pointer was hit. There is no suspense about Yang Zhenxing’s first shot.
Yao Ming defended Anthony Davis's shot, grabbed the rebound, and then passed it to Iverson to start a fast break. Yang Zhenxing and Carter had already rushed to the backcourt at the first time. Iverson made a long pass, and Carter
After receiving the ball, there was Little Rivers standing in the penalty area in front of him. This must have caused an offensive foul. How could Carter take care of this? After Carter got the ball, he took three steps without dribbling. Carter was on the right side.
Suddenly, Rivers had to stand still, and Carter ignored him.
Boom, Carter's dunk! It's Carter's dunk. There's no doubt about it. Carter, who is back at his peak, will never miss an opportunity like this to perform. Carter was directly across from Rivers, and he almost missed the ball.
Just flew over
Carter hung one hand on the basket for a buffer, jumped down, and quickly ran to the backcourt to prepare for defense. Normally, Carter would have come down and roared, but now he is no longer the young and frivolous person he was at that time. He is very
He should keep a low profile when he is only sober for a year at his peak.
If you think that you have completely entered the Tigers' offensive rhythm from now on, then you are totally wrong. In the next 5 minutes, the two sides entered a tug-of-war. Iverson scored 4 points, and Rivers Jr. also
Not a vegetarian, he hit two consecutive three-pointers against Iverson. Finally, Yang Zhenxing counterattacked with a three-pointer, biting the score and maintaining a weak lead.
Yao Ming's inside force caused a foul on the opponent. Anthony Davis had already fouled twice. This was not good news for the relatively weak Hornets. When the official timeout came, Phil Jackson gathered all the players off the court.
The above-mentioned tactics seem to be in good mental condition by the Tigers players. They still maintain the lead. Although the lead is not much, it is still very useful for their mentality.
After returning from the timeout, sure enough, Anthony Davis, who had committed two fouls, was replaced. Just 7 minutes into the first quarter, Anthony Davis had already committed two fouls. For them, the game will be
It's getting harder and harder to fight

Yao Ming made both free throws, and then Yi Jianlian dunked and Arenas scored a three-pointer. The Tigers opened the score to double digits and the pressure on the Hornets suddenly increased. Fortunately, Eric Gordon came off the court after Yang Zhenxing came off the court.
Arenas hit a solo shot and the Hornets trailed by eight points at the end of the first quarter
As soon as the second quarter started, the Tigers still relied on high-quality defense and led a quick counterattack to firmly control the situation. Yang Zhenxing's free throws and consecutive scoring shots led the Tigers to once again pull the score.
At 35:21, 3 minutes into the second quarter, the Tigers led by 14 points and the Hornets, who had been repeatedly blocked, once again requested a timeout.
After the timeout, the Hornets' offense improved slightly, but they still couldn't guard against the Bengals' many offensive strengths. At the end of the first half, the Bengals led by 18 points at 56:38.
The Hornets did not give up in the second half. Ryan Anderson hit two three-pointers at the beginning of the second half to close the score, but Yang Zhenxing immediately responded. At the end of the third quarter, the Tigers still led the Hornets by a big score of 77:61.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, McGrady dunked and Grant Hill also hit a three-pointer. The score opened to 20 points. After Eric Gordon got 2 free throw opportunities and made all of them, Iverson succeeded in a layup to defeat the Hornets.

In the final game, the Tigers once again defeated their opponents with a margin of 105:85, a margin of 20 points.
In this game, Yang Jinxing scored 30 points, while his opponent Eric Gordon only scored 15 points.
The current score between the Bengals and the Hornets has become 2:0. They have seized the home court advantage and showed strong
In the third game, the Tigers will rush to New Orleans to challenge their opponents at their home court.
If the Hornets lose this game, they will fall behind their opponents 0:3. In this case, no team in the entire history has been able to come back, so they played very hard at the beginning of this game.
The Hornets were caught off guard when they came up. The Hornets' defense was very tough, but the Tigers couldn't find their form amidst the boos. At the end of the third quarter, the Tigers actually trailed by ten points.
Of course, the Tigers would not want to give up such an important game. After falling behind 74-84 in the first three quarters, they fought back vigorously.

The Tigers expanded their advantage to 98-93. The Hornets finally made another shot, but Yang Zhenxing immediately cooperated with Carter.
, alley-oop dunk
Although the Hornets narrowed the gap to 3 points thereafter, their best opportunity was lost. They failed to maintain their 13-point advantage in this quarter and suffered a tragic comeback.
In the end, the Tigers won the game with a big score of 3:0, which meant that if nothing else happened, they would have successfully entered the second round, but the Hornets would not make it so easy for them.
The fourth game between the two sides is coming soon. Whether this will be the last game between the two sides, of course, we will only know after the game is over.
In the last game between the two sides, Yang Zhenxing scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 13 assists. He performed very well. However, this kind of performance cannot be something he is proud of. He still has to play every game down-to-earth.
He once again supported the team
The first half of the game was inextricable. The Tigers were strongly blocked by the Hornets in the first quarter. Anthony Davis failed to come on to help the team at the last moment of the last game. This time he was holding back from the start.
With enough energy, he kept running to look for opportunities to overdraw Yao Ming's physical strength. This trick really worked. Anthony Davis continued to cooperate through pick-and-rolls, and kept running out to catch the ball. Yao Ming was a little uncomfortable.
, Yao Ming received two fouls just 6 minutes into the game. He took a break and was replaced by O'Neal.
At the end of the first quarter, the Hornets led by three points at 26:23
In the second quarter, the Tigers took the lead in finding the offensive rhythm. Yang Zhenxing took the lead in hitting a three-pointer to tie the score. Then they used high-quality defense. The Hornets were slow to find the offensive rhythm. The Tigers took advantage of the situation and led the score by 5 points, but it was very short.
Unfortunately, Yao Ming received his third personal foul at this moment, and once again had to take a rest. Yao Ming once again entered a stalemate situation where you come and go. At the end of the first half, Tracy McGrady beat the buzzer for three seconds.
After three points, the Tigers led 53:51.
The subsequent second half of the game was considered Yang Zhenxing's time. The most typical one was his performance in the third quarter. At that time, Yao Ming committed 4 fouls. The Hornets had every opportunity to further open the score, but Yang Zhenxing stepped forward at this time. He first
He scored 2 points with a breakthrough layup, and then hit a pull-up jumper from the front. He was confident but too casual. After scoring 6 points in a row, he helped the Tigers stabilize the game. At the end of the third quarter, the Tigers scored precious 5 points.
Leading edge
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Hornets came up with a counterattack climax and immediately took the lead. At the moment before the end of the game, Yang Zhenxing suddenly showed his power. 2 minutes and 38 seconds before the end of the game, he forcibly cut into the penalty area and lowered his hand.
The layup was successful. After Tracy McGrady stole Rivers Jr., the Tigers quickly broke on the break. Even though the former missed the layup, Yang Zhenxing followed up and made a tip-in. After the ball, the score had become 96-94, forcing the Hornets to request a timeout. Don't forget.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Tigers were still 5 points behind, and at the same time, the leader Yao Ming committed 5 fouls.
But 2 minutes and 15 seconds before the end of the game, Yang Zhenxing made a low-level mistake. After Tracy McGrady stole Eric Gordon, Yang Zhenxing dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, but unexpectedly, Rivers made a sudden attack from behind and directly stole the ball. Pay attention at this time.
The lack of concentration was really inappropriate. This ball wasted a valuable offensive opportunity. If they can win this ball, the Tigers can declare the victory of the game in advance.
The game is still going on anxiously. The Tigers are only leading by 2 points. This time, the Hornets have the ball. The Hornets requested a timeout and arranged tactics. This is the most critical moment of the game. If the Hornets cannot grasp it,
They are about to be eliminated
Eric Gordon played Yang Zhenxing in isolation, but Yang Zhenxing's pace was too fast. Eric Gordon did not find a good opportunity and handed the ball back to Rivers. Rivers took the ball and broke through in an instant. Yao Ming looked at Xiao Ming.
Rivers came over and quickly stepped forward to cover the defense, but what he didn't expect was that Anthony Davis was waiting under the basket for a long time. Rivers passed the ball over, and Anthony Davis pulled up and dunked to tie the game.
Got it!
There were 37.5 seconds left before the end of the game. Yang Zhenxing looked for an opportunity. He calmly provided an assist for Tracy McGrady. The latter hit a three-pointer to help the Tigers take the lead by three points! The Tigers took the lead, and there were only 24 seconds left in the game.
That is to say, there is only one last offensive opportunity left. Do the Hornets have no choice but to shoot a three-pointer and possibly delay the game?
The Hornets patiently got the ball and finally gave it to Eric Gordon. Gordon couldn't hesitate anymore and took action after receiving the ball.
Dang! With a crisp sound, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound from the top of the basket, and the game was over.
In the final game, Yang Zhenxing's Tigers still had the last laugh. In the end, they ended this anxious game with only a three-point lead at 99:96.
The end of this game also declared that the game between the Bengals and the Hornets was completely over. The Bengals did not let the Hornets win a single victory. In the end, they defeated the Hornets 4:0 and entered the second round with almost no suspense.
Their opponents will not be so easy to deal with next.
