The Hornets' head coach is Dave Coins. He was once the center of the Celtics. He has average physical fitness, but he has become the starting center of the Celtics with his extraordinary mind and was selected as the top 50 superstars in this year's All-Star Game. Later, he was also the assistant coach of the Spurs before and served as Bob Hill's assistant.

This season was his first season in coaching the Hornets. In his first season, he led the Hornets to complete reconstruction, rush into the playoffs, and won 50 games, which shows his outstanding performance.

At this time, Dave Coins was walking back and forth on the sidelines, thinking about how to deal with Jonny who had already begun to run wild.

Joni on the court played very happily. He had already shot his touch. Now Joni is almost running away from his opponent with an empty hand, then quickly catch the ball and shoot, and almost every shot can be hit. This is what many people call Joni's horror. As long as Joni is allowed to shoot, Joni's score will become very simple.

But soon, Dave Coins on the sidelines slapped his hand, as if he had made up his mind, and then called for a timeout. When the timeout came back, Joni felt a huge pressure from the playoffs - double-teaming throughout the game! Or the weakened version of Jordan's rule! The Hornets even changed people and replaced Raphael Addison, who was fierce in style, to defend Joni.

Raphael Addison began to use his strong body to compete with Joni and use very large movements to fight Joni. In this way, Joni became difficult to receive Anfini Hardaway's pass. Even if Joni started his crazy running without the ball, it would be difficult to get rid of Raphael Addison.

Suddenly, the situation on the court became difficult. Joni threw away Raphael Addison with difficulty and received the ball that Anfini Hardaway had to pass. As soon as he stood still, Joni felt a strong force coming from behind. Raphael Addison rushed over and pretended not to stop the car and hit Joni.

Joni pushed the ball down, but the ball was almost thrown away. Looking at Raphael Addison's innocent expression, Joni knew that this guy was pretending.

However, Joni was not willing to care about these things. He felt the changes in the Hornets' defensive strategy towards him. At this time, he had to help his teammates find their form. He had just been playing some personal singles by himself.

Joni took the ball, dribbling with two consecutive hips, plus a turn after dribbling behind the ball, passing Raphael Addison, instantly attracted many defenders. At this time, Joni made a pass by the ball. Doug Christie, who was outside the three-point line, took the ball and shot it successfully!

Three-pointer! After Doug Christie's three-pointer hit, the Magic widened the gap to 5 points!

"Jonny Lee's pass, he attracted the attention of almost all Hornets players! In the end, he helped Doug Christie get this open opportunity."

At the end of the first quarter, in the second half of the first quarter, the Hornets strengthened their personal defense against Joni, but in the end they were a little sloppy, allowing other Magic players to shoot. At the end of the first quarter, the Magic led the Hornets by 8 points with multiple points, which was already a very big difference, after all, this was the first quarter.

"After the first quarter, the Magic blossomed at multiple points, but the reason was that Joni Lee's outbreak helped the Magic. After being beaten 7:0 by the Hornets, Joni Lee stood up and helped the Magic score repeatedly, finally equalized the score and overtook the score. He led by 8 points in the first quarter. The situation on the field has begun to turn to the Magic."

Joni sat on the bench, waiting for Ricci Adubatu to arrange the second quarter task.

"Everyone played very well in the first quarter. Continue to maintain the second quarter. Joni, how about it? Can you still persist?" Ricci Adubatu looked at Joni. He knew what Joni was facing in the first quarter. Almost the entire Hornets were defending Joni alone!

Joni nodded and said he could still hold on, but his breathing showed that even if Joni could hold on, he couldn't last long.

Ricci Adubatu frowned with some hesitation. Judging from the first quarter, the Magic's current dependence on Joni is too serious. He is a little afraid to let Joni go off the court at this time. After hesitating for a while, hesitating, and finally let Joni continue to play.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic seemed to be trying to make Joni easier on the offensive end, so they chose to replace Denissco and Doug Christie left the field. The little bug Boggs from the Hornets came off the field to rest. Raphael Addison, who was the main defender of Joni, was also exhausted and also left the field to rest. The Hornets replaced Dell Curry and Tony Delk.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game between the two sides, the Hornets were on the offense, and they poured 16 seconds of the ball, and finally hit a three-pointer by Dell Curry at the last moment.

When it comes to Magic offense, defending Jonny became Dell Curry, the father of the later NBA superstar Stephen Curry, who was just a role player in NBA at this time, but he helped Stephen Curry become the leader of the three-point shooting that later set various records. At this time, Curry was sitting on the sidelines watching the game.

Joni found that the defender in front of him had replaced him again, and he decided to test the black man who looked a little weak first.

Joni decided to use the e-skill of the female policewoman in Pi City, but what Joni didn't know was that the emergency stop jump shot was a move that Dell Curry was good at. Later, Curry taught Stephen Curry, which eventually became a common scoring method Stephen Curry used. So, as soon as Joni's emergency stop jump shot started, Dell Curry saw through it. Unlike Raphael Addison in the first quarter, Dell Curry's defense is more experienced.

When he saw that Joni's move was an emergency stop and jumped back quickly, he jumped with Joni at the moment of Joni's emergency stop, interfering with Joni's ball firmly. After Joni's rest for a while, part of his hand felt disappeared, and the ball no longer had the feeling of hitting every shot in the first quarter, and finally came out of the box.

Dell Curry put down Jonny's goal with his experience, and Jonny also keenly discovered Dell Curry's defensive method, which is to predict his own movements. Jonny thought about it and used a European step in the next attack of the Magic. Sure enough, this highly deceptive European step deceived Dell Curry and successfully hit a layup.

Joni dragged his tired body to play the second quarter again. With Joni's continuous explosion, the game became unsurprising. At the end of the half, the Magic led by 22 points. Before leaving the court, Joni said to the somewhat dull Glen Rice: "Is this the intensity of the playoffs? But that's it!" In fact, Joni was almost exhausted, but the big score lead made Joni say this with confidence.
Chapter completed!
