"Alright, PJ, take off your training clothes and get ready to go on stage.”
Putting PJ Tucker on wasn't because of his trust in Tucker, but because of his trust in Johnson's foresight.
Many of the players traded by the team were recommended by Jiang Shou. They were all defensive elites and players with high cost-performance ratio.
Therefore, there was no reason for him not to believe in Jiang Shou.
"PJ, play to your advantage in rebounding and use your strength to head the player.”
Jiang Shou wiped his sweat and patted PJ Tucker's shoulder.
"Thank you. You're the first person to speak up for me.”
Tucker was very grateful to Jiang Shou.
It could be said that Tucker's life was full of difficulties.
After being selected by the NBA Raptors, he played on the bench for two seasons and barely played. Then, to make a living, he transferred to an overseas league and struggled for several years to win the MVP title.
After being recalled by the league, he was already 27 years old. In the Phoenix Suns, he had not found his place.
His experience was actually a little humble. Now that Jiang Shou had stood up for him, he was full of gratitude for him...
"Thank you. I will stand by your side for no reason in the future.”
Tucker said gratefully.
After the game, Jiang Shou walked to the free throw line and used his ability to complete the free throw.
10 to 2!
The Raptors 'offense continued, and Kyle Lowry once again made a pick-and-roll with Valanchunas in the middle.
This time, the defender facing Valanchunas was not Zeller but Bi Yongbo.
Biyombo wasn't tall, only 208 meters, but his wingspan was a terrifying 2.30 meters. His strength wasn't bad either, and his jumping ability was even more impressive.
Valanchunas was blocked by Biyombo.
"Bang!"
He exerted strength in his shoulders and was prepared to forcefully push Bi Yongbo away, but Bi Yongbo was not pushed away by Valanchonas.
So, Valanciunas stretched out his right arm to grab the basketball and did a hook shot.
"Bang!"
The basketball bounced out of the hoop, but Valanciunas was prepared. He was not aiming for the goal at all. He wanted to grab the rebound and complete the second attack.
"Boom!"
However, just as he rushed to the basket, he suddenly found a short figure in front of him.
PJ Tucker!
In the next second, the basketball had already fallen. When Valachunas, who had stretched out his long arm, was about to catch the rebound, Tucker used his strong buttocks to push him away and grab the backboard!
“WOW！”
"This short man inside the Hornets is like a small cannon!”
"His strength is truly astonishing. He actually pushed Valanchonas away by force!”
"This defense and rebounding really boosted morale. The Raptors were just about to play inside when Biyombo and Tucker locked down the basket!”
After getting the rebound, Tucker passed the ball to Walker.
Walker dribbled the ball to the front field.
After a series of maneuvers, Walker forced a breakthrough under the basket to attract the defense and passed the ball to PJ Tucker in the bottom corner.
Tucker's three-pointer percentage was very high, but he caught a glimpse of Jiang Shou, who was running from the side.
He decisively passed the ball as a token of appreciation for the gift from Shou Jiang.
"Swoosh!"
There was no doubt that DeRozan was almost beaten by Jiang Shou, and his defense was useless.
a 13 - 2
In the first two minutes of the game, he scored 13 points on four three-pointers!
Looking back, Lori wanted to quickly score to ease the decline.
He took advantage of his weight and forced Walker to come to the basket. He was ready to hit Walker.
However, just as he was about to shoot, Jiang Shou quickly rushed over from outside the three-point line.
"Bang!"
The terrifying jump directly gave Kyle Lowry a nail hat!
The basketball bounced off the backboard, and it was another fight for the rebound.
Tucker flipped the floor under the basket and used his strong buttocks to get the rebound position!
"Boom!"
It was Tucker, who had just been replaced, again. He forcefully pushed away Amir John, who was a full head taller than him, and grabbed the rebound!
"My God, the Hornets have built the strongest defense!”
"Jiang Shou has two blocks and one steal in the defensive phase of this game!”
"The team's new aid, DJ Tucker, is even more defensive.”
The previous defense of the Hornets was mediocre, but the current lineup gave people a very fierce feeling.
"We can't use an ordinary team to measure the Hornets anymore. They are a strong team!”
Compared to the two live commentators, the Hornets fans were even more excited.
After the first quarter, the Hornets relied on the defensive wall they built to only let the toronto raptors score 17 points.
They had already scored 38 points and established a 21-point lead in the first quarter!
The most prominent player on the offensive end was Jiang Shou. He made 8 of 9 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 25 points in a single quarter!
The two commentators of ESPM were passionate.
"With 25 points in a single quarter, the first quarter of his debut for the Hornets was perfect!”
"This is the craziest opening show I've seen this season.”
"Kemba Walker scored five points and six assists in a single quarter. Five of the six assists were cannonballs for Jiang Yang!”
"This is the Hornets 'backfield double guns. Their dominance is terrifying!”
"Who said that Charlotte only has one gun? Jiang Shou gave the answer!"
