This time, the New Orleans were going to challenge the Yale Knights in an away game.
Because Paul and the head of the Knights, Deron, were known as the Gemini point guards, they had always had the idea of competing with each other. Every time the two teams met, it was very eye-catching.
It was just that Paul had always been at a disadvantage in the matchup between the two. He was better than Deron in terms of his team's role and overall evaluation, but he had always been suppressed when the Kings played against the Kings. This also caused the Hornets to often lose to Deron.
However, the competition between the two sides could be said to be full of gunpowder. Every match made people's blood boil.
This time, with Shen Nan joining the team, the already hot topic became even more exaggerated. Almost all the media in the NBA gathered around. It was not easy to find a game that would ignite the explosion at the end of the regular season.
The venue of the game was, of course, in Arizona. Because this game was the home game of the Knights, there was an 80% chance that the stadium was filled with the Knights 'fans. Nearly 10,000 fans booed at the same time when Shen Nan and the others went on stage. The sound made everyone on the Hornets feel pressured.
Shen Nan naturally felt some pressure. He took a deep breath and adjusted his state.
In just two days, although he had made great progress, he still had to rely on the system to improve himself quickly.
1/50, as long as he got another 49 points.
He could choose to draw the lottery and improve whichever aspect he wanted.
It was just that he did not know how long he could play today and how many points he could score.
Before the game started, Scott had already made a pre-match mobilization."Paul, you will still be starting in this game. Shen Nan, you will be a substitute and be ready to play at any time. Once Shen Nan is on the field, you will play with Shen Nan as the core. When you can attack, attack. When you can't attack, pass the ball to him.”
His goal was clear. Shen Nan was going to score!
If they hadn't seen Shen Nan's strength, Paul's consideration of the big picture, and Scott's high prestige, the other coaches would definitely offend people. After all, data was very important to NBA players. Who would be willing to give away data?
However, after seeing Shen Nan's strength, they knew that this was the best way for the Hornets to play.
No matter how good the data was, it was not as good as the Hornets winning the game!
Otherwise, if he lost the match, he would not have any data left.
Even so, Scott's approach was not something that an ordinary coach could make up his mind. However, for a coach who was once an NBA superstar, his thoughts on the game were simple and did not involve complicated off-court calculations.
As long as he could win! Then he would do it the way he won!
Just as they were preparing for the battle, the domestic live broadcast had already attracted millions of viewers, and the number was still rising.
Sohu Sports even used a professional commentator for the live broadcast. The live broadcast gave Shen Nan a close-up shot so that everyone could see Shen Nan's delicate face."…It has been two days since Shen Nan's sudden appearance. In these two days, his popularity has been very high. There have been doubts and praises, but in any case, the competition has the final say. Let's wait and see how he performs in this competition.”
After introducing Shen Nan, he started talking about the characters of the Hornets and the Knights.
However, the netizens ignored this and the bullet comments skyrocketed.
"Big Boss Shen Nan, perform well. Give me a three-point rain and scare them to tears!”
" Hubby, you're so handsome!!!"
"God Nan! Charge!"
"Prince Charming!"
The netizens in the country were obviously a little rowdy, but they did not have any ill intentions. They just wanted Shen Nan to perform better.
" The situation of the Hornets is not good. Paul still can't beat Deron..." The commentator's voice sounded.
At the same time, everyone was watching the game seriously. Unfortunately, they did not see Shen Nan's appearance. They could only see Shen Nan sitting on the substitutes 'bench with a serious expression. He was also watching the game.
The game had already progressed to eight minutes into the second quarter.
Paul and Deron had just started the game, and their scores and assists were all competing. The audience was watching with their blood boiling, and the roars and cheers were endless. It was obvious that Paul was still weaker than Deron.
Especially just now, after Paul entered the infield, he was about to dunk when Deron's big hand appeared in front of him. With a bang, he directly sent Paul's basketball flying, causing Paul to sit on the ground. His face instantly darkened.
The score was 40:27, and the Hornets were behind by 13 points.
The Hornets 'shooting guard, Morris Peterson, was panting. He was already 30 years old, which was a dangerous age for professional players. The Hornets had just traded him from the Raptors this year, so he was likely to retire with the Hornets.
His stamina was obviously a little weak. It would be too difficult for him to play the entire game.
Most importantly, as a shooting guard, he had to maintain a good enough state.
"Stop!" Scott saw this and quickly called a time-out. Neither the score nor Peterson's state could allow the game to continue.
But who should he change to?
The Hornets did not have a good shooting guard at the moment, which had always been their weakness.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have traded for a 30-year-old shooting guard. At this age, it was impossible for him to be a substitute. Instead, he would be directly promoted to the main force.
"Shen Nan, you go." Scott pondered for a while and made up his mind."But don't use that kind of ultra-long three-pointer. Your role on the field is mainly to intimidate. If you shoot, you'll be on the edge of the three-pointer.”
Shen Nan's three-pointer was terrifying, but it was more suitable for a trump card.
It was not a conventional method, even if he had been training well recently!
"I understand, coach." Shen Nan didn't defend herself. As long as she could play, it was enough.
