Paul was definitely an underrated player at his peak. In fact, Paul was underestimated even after his peak.

When talking about Paul, people will always think of his 58 memes, Western Conference memes, and Cannonball memes.

But few people mention that he once brought the Thunder, which was struggling with An Xin, into the playoffs, once made the immature Suns become No. 1 in the Western Conference, and once brought the Hornets so close to the Western Conference Finals.

Paul during the Hornets era, because his athletic ability has not been affected, coupled with his invincible egg-picking skills, he can really be called the god of active point guards.

Paul's defense, scoring and organization are all excellent. Except for his short length, he basically has no shortcomings in other aspects.

Therefore, never judge people by their merits!

Some people are short, but they are very powerful! Some people are short, but they have many pictures!

Paul's ranking third in the MVP rankings last season is in itself a reward for him. After all, as a point guard, and a point guard whose height is not advantageous, it is indeed too difficult to get close to the MVP.

Li Ang has never underestimated Paul. He knows that this guy who can only meet with his head up but not his head down is very strong.

But no matter how strong the opponent is, after expressing disrespect for him, Li Ang will do his best to kill him.

The on-site commentary was also very exciting. The yellow-green battle just ended here yesterday, and today there is a father-son stall again.

Staples never lacks for good shows.

The Hornets' top five are all in place, including point guard Paul, shooting guard Russell Butler, small forward Lewis, and the two inside men are David West and boxing champion Tyson.

You can say that this lineup is strong. Apart from Paul, there seems to be no particularly outstanding star.

But if you want to say that he is not strong, Lewis is a real billionaire, and David West is also a serious All-Star player.

I can only say that this lineup is neither bad nor top-notch.

But the presence of Paul maximizes the potential of this lineup, allowing them to compete with the top teams in the Western Conference without falling behind.

Although Paul was very confident before the game, he did not underestimate the Clippers.

In Paul's view, Li Ang won the last game because of good luck. But the Clippers can win 15 consecutive games, so they are certainly not ordinary.

In terms of hard power, the Clippers may indeed be one length of O'Neal's head taller than the Hornets. Not much taller, but they still have an advantage.

Therefore, in order to ensure that he can win this game, Paul arranged a special tactic for himself today.

Just like writing a book cannot rely solely on words, when dealing with Li Ang, you cannot fight head-on with him, you have to outwit him!

If this plan can really come true, then winning the Clippers today will not be a problem!

Not only can he win the Clippers, but he can also make Li Ang extremely frustrated!

The Hornets got the ball first without any suspense, and Paul and Paul launched a very beautiful attack right from the start.

He called for a cover and a boxing champion pick-and-roll. Because Paul, who was not seriously injured, was very fast, Duncan had to take a step sideways to help Rose block Paul who was about to break through.

But at the moment when Duncan moved sideways to block, Paul hit the ground through the crotch and gave the ball to Chandler who cut in.

Chandler's running and jumping ability was very good, but by the time Lao Dengtou realized what he was doing, he couldn't keep up.

Fat Dio tried very hard to help Duncan defend, but it was only after he jumped up that he realized the full meaning of the word "self-humiliation".

It's okay if he doesn't jump, but when he jumps it looks like Dior can't jump as high as Duncan.

The boxing champion ignored Diaw's obstruction and launched a two-handed dunk, giving the Hornets the first score.

After scoring the goal, the boxing champion was shocked when he saw Diaw in front of him: "Why the hell is there someone here!? I didn't even see him just now!"

Dior:......

You guys are going too far. I think back then I was also the man second only to Leon in jumping in the Suns team!

There is no way, after all, the bear is now taking out someone bigger than KK-chan, so it will be really hard for him to be so arrogant.

Under Paul's instigation, a guy like Tyson Chandler with no offensive skills can become an offensive threat.

I have to say that this is the power of Paoer.

Why are the Suns unwilling to give Dunbao a maximum salary in the future? It's because as long as a center is next to Paul, his statistics will improve.

With Paul around, the Suns couldn't figure out what Dun Bao was and whether he was worth it.

The Clippers attack, and Lewis is responsible for defending Li Ang.

Lewis blocked Li Ang very tightly. His task was not to defend Li Ang to death alone, but to block Li Ang's shooting space.

As for how to defend after Li Ang breaks through, that is Tyson Chandler's business.

Seeing that Lewis was sticking so closely to him, Li Ang naturally chose to break through quickly.

But as soon as Li Ang rushed in, he saw Paul suddenly jump over and stood firmly with both feet. It seemed that he wanted to unexpectedly cause Li Ang to commit an offensive foul.

Pao'er was indeed very smart. If it had been anyone else, he might not have been able to stop the car and hit Paul straight away.

But how strong is Li Ang's physical fitness? He changed direction and passed Paul without slowing down.

But the moment Li Ang passed by Paul, Paul suddenly raised his arms and shouted in ecstasy: "Ah~~~"

Then, he gracefully turned 360° in a circle and fell to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and he gave Li Ang a hit with the ball!

Li Ang:???

Geneva, he and I just had a brush with each other, ah no, we just passed each other by!

There was no way the distance between the two was really too close just now, and it was really difficult to tell whether Li Ang had hit Paul or not with the naked eye.

Replays? It’s impossible for every referee to watch the replays. In that case, a game wouldn’t last five or six hours.

The referee gave Li Ang a foul as soon as he came up. Li Ang looked at Paul lying on the ground and clenched his fists.

He now wants to light a fire in front of everyone!

Paul secretly smiled after getting up. That's right, this is Paul's new trick to deal with Li Ang today!

Paul is definitely a Hall of Fame figure in the NBA acting field. He has read "The Self-cultivation of an Actor" thoroughly and knows 9981 ways to throw. The most important thing is that Paul is also very shameless.

Anyone who wants to show off his face will never be able to pull off his exaggerated actions.

From all angles, under all circumstances, and against all kinds of opponents, Paul can come up with tricks.

If he hadn't brought his talents to the basketball court, Paul would have probably excelled in playing the kind of beaten-to-death corpse in Hollywood. He could use various death methods to add luster to the movie.

Li Ang was also convinced. Paul's turn just now was so exaggerated that the referee could believe it.

Li Ang understands the desire of people with disabilities to live a hard life, and is willing to help these people if necessary.

But damn...blind friends shouldn’t be basketball referees!

Fighting athletes have to play basketball, and pornographic athletes have to write novels. It's not okay to insist on talking about something you don't know professionally!

Li Ang had no choice but to commit a foul, and Paul was very proud.

Who says Li Ang is invincible? At least in terms of acting, I am much better than Li Ang!

Paul's performance caused Li Ang to get a foul right from the start.

This is indeed very disadvantageous. Although Li Ang is a superstar, the whistle is somewhat taken care of.

But that doesn't mean that superstars will never leave the game with six fouls.

In the original history, Ajan had six fouls and left the game six times in his career, and Curry had six fouls and left the game 10 times.

Kobe Bryant had six fouls and left the game 21 times in his career.

The probability of having six fouls and leaving the game is indeed rare for a superstar, but it is not impossible.

Li Ang knew what Paul was planning, so he had to be especially careful today.

The game lasted for a few minutes. Under Paul's steady control of the court, the Hornets' offensive efficiency was guaranteed.

The Clippers' triangle offense also made the Hornets hard to guard against.

Neither side can get rid of the other, and Paul also knows that if Li Ang is not dealt with, there will be no substantial progress in the game.

In the fifth minute of the first quarter, the Clippers attacked, Rose held the ball at the top of the arc, and Duncan set up a pick-and-roll.

Paul stayed close to Rose. He had been passed by Rose once before and knew that this rookie was difficult to deal with.

In order to separate Paul and leave room for him to dribble through, Rose lowered his center of gravity and used his shoulders and head to carry Paul away.

As a result, at this moment, Paul suddenly leaned back and fell to the floor. Ross looked at it and realized that he couldn't be at a disadvantage. Although Ross was not the kind of person who liked to fall, but if he stood there stupidly now,

If you don't move, you might actually be called for an offensive foul.

What happened to Brother Li is still vivid in my mind.

So Rose also jumped back, sat down on the ground, and used a flop to counter the flop!

Rose and Paul both bounced away from each other, leaving Duncan, who came up for the pick-and-roll, confused.

As soon as Duncan went up, before he could touch anyone, the two defenders suddenly fell down.

No... I know the Force, right? You two just exploded as soon as I came up?

This scene also made the on-site commentators burst into laughter because Rose and Paul's flop was so fake.

The referee didn't call anything, and Duncan quickly recovered from his confusion and picked up the basketball.
