"Ha, Charles, Chris is in great shape today. His assists are ahead of Li Yan." Smith joked.
Buckley curled his lips and said, "Kenny, don't forget that you said the same thing before you and the donkey flew together."
"At that time, you said that Li Yan was destined to lose, so you asked me to rinse my mouth and prepare." Barkley lifted up Smith's scar:
"What happens? In 2 minutes, you will be surrounded by two donkeys, hahaha!"
The first quarter of the game is over.
The Nuggets only led by 2 points 28 to 26.
Li Yan scored 4 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals; Chris Paul's data was 8 points, 5 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal.
Paul was proud and proud. Not only did he outscore Li Yan, but he also had a considerable advantage in assists as he had said harshly before the game.
The reason why Li Yan didn't have many assists was because Anthony was the Nuggets' main offensive point in the first quarter.
Anthony's goal was beautiful, showing his super personal ability, but it did not bring Li Yan an increase in assists.
After the start of the second quarter.
Li Yan leads the Nuggets' second team, and Chris Paul leads the Hornets' team.
Facts have proved that such a match-up matches the opponent, and the offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides are very smooth.
Li Yan has a unique advantage in connecting the team, but Chris Paul also has two tricks.
TNT's national live broadcast ratings exploded because of the donkey battle between Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley. Fans were paying attention to the assists of Li Yan and Paul.
Paul's performance won Li Yan's respect, but this respect did not last long.
During a breakthrough, Li Yan was secretly attacked by Paul who was defending.
Li Yan, who was suddenly attacked, was intercepted by Paul, and the Hornets hit the ball with a fast break.
"Chris, is it interesting to use this little trick?" Li Yan was a little angry.
But Paul spread his hands and said with a bad smile: "Li, the referee didn't say anything, which means there is no problem with my defense."
Paul has a harmless smile on his baby face. People who are not familiar with Paul will never associate playing dirty with him.
People often say not to be fooled by appearance. The reason is that a person's essence and his appearance are sometimes not the same.
Some people look tall and thick, but they are actually kind and attentive. Some people have a smile on their faces, but they are bad boys who know how to do evil things.
It can be said that Chris Paul is very similar to the original Smiling Assassin Thomas.
Thomas always has a smile on his face, but he also often plays dirty tricks mercilessly. He has very outstanding abilities and a style of play that is terrifying.
However, in the 1980s and 1990s, this style of play was not uncommon.
Karl Malone, who elbows the air with his elbows, and John Stockton, who makes outrageous little moves, are not much nobler than the Pistons' "Bad Boys".
Paul has a baby face similar to Thomas, and his small movements are quick and subtle.
Li Yan doesn't have a good temper. He will definitely come back after suffering a loss.
However, Li Yan underestimated Paul's acting skills.
In the next round, Li Yan quietly hit Paul in a blind corner where the referee could not see.
Paul immediately made an exaggerated fall to the ground, and he kept twisting until the referee's whistle blew.
Wang Defa?
Li Yan originally felt that his face was thick enough, but now he found that it was far from enough.
The NBA is really a special place, and there are all kinds of monsters and monsters there.
The game continues.
Chris Paul held the ball for half the game. Li Yan took the initiative to defend and let Paul go.
This defensive strategy is calculated so that it will be difficult for Paul to get rid of Li Yan through a breakthrough.
As for shooting, Li Yan's height and wingspan can ensure that he can continue to maintain a high-pressure posture on the defensive end against Paul even if he takes one step away.
Paul lowered his center of gravity and quickly charged towards the penalty area.
But Li Yan's defense followed him closely, and Paul couldn't get rid of Li Yan's long arms.
Paul, who was moving at high speed, suddenly stopped suddenly. His "braking" was very sudden, a trick he had tried repeatedly.
It's just that Li Yan's static talent is so outstanding. With a height of 204cm and a wingspan of 218cm, he is a bUg on the back line.
Coupled with the blessing of "Flash Contempt", Li Yan's long arms formed a "copper wall" in front of Paul.
In order to avoid Li Yan's block, Paul could increase the arc when taking action.
The basketball passed Li Yan's fingertips, but it went too far.
"DUang!" There is no doubt that the iron is struck.
Camby grabbed the rebound and handed it to Li Yan.
After Li Yan arrived in the frontcourt, he didn't ask for cover this time. Li Yan wanted to give Paul some color.
Turning his back and sitting down to fight, Li Yan gave Paul a wave of muscle confrontation.
The fans were stunned, is this a damn point guard? It's rare to find many insiders with such back-up skills nowadays.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Chris Paul tried to stabilize his body, but was still knocked back by Li Yan.
Paul wanted to use the "stool removal" tactic, but such a trick was useless in front of Li Yan.
Li Yan pushed past Paul and entered the inside line, his sharp steps unstoppable.
"Whoa!" Li Yan completed a beautiful little throw.
After scoring, Li Yan looked at the panting Paul proudly.
When had Paul ever suffered such a loss? He snorted coldly: "Just wait for me."
Round for the Hornets.
Chris Paul used the pick-and-roll to get into the penalty area. He threw the ball before Camby could help defend.
The basketball drew an arc in the air, and "Wha!" hit the ball hollowly.
Paul scored two points. He raised his eyebrows at Li Yan, but found that Li Yan didn't look at him at all. This was a waste of emotion.
Next round.
Li Yan attacked with the ball, and he repeated his old tricks, constantly pressing Paul with his body.
Paul felt very uncomfortable being suppressed by Li Yan. In a hidden corner, in the referee's blind spot, Paul pushed Li Yan with his raised elbow.
Paul has rich experience. The referee will not notice such an action, but the opponent's players will feel uncomfortable. This is a "good way" to disrupt the rhythm of the offensive team.
However--
The moment Paul took action, Li Yan flew out.
The movements are coherent and done in one go!
The referee's whistle sounded and there was a defensive foul.
"What?" Paul immediately raised his hand to express his innocence to the referee.
His baby face was full of disbelief, and he really wasn’t pretending this time!
