On November 2, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Game of the Hornets against the Cavaliers officially began. After the game started, the Cavaliers played very efficiently on the offensive end, and the defensive end was also very good at limiting the Hornets' offense. In the first quarter, the Cavaliers led by 19 points. I believe that fans who watched the first quarter of the game will think that this game Hornets will be a big defeat. However, what fans did not expect was that the Hornets blew the horn of counterattack from the second quarter and at one point chased the score to only 2 points behind in the final moments. However, Rozier's missed three-pointer at the crucial moment caused the Hornets to be unable to turn the game and lose 110-113 to the Cavaliers.
To be honest, the Cavaliers played really well in this game, and the offensive end presented a scene of blossoming everywhere. A total of 6 Cavaliers players scored in double figures throughout the game. They are: Jarrett Allen 24 points, 16 rebounds, 4 blocks. Markkanen 21 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, 3 blocks. Sexton had 17 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two steals. Garland had 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Mobley had 15 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. Osman had 13 points, 2 assists. Obviously, in the face of such an offensive situation, the Cavaliers took it for granted.
Well, after talking about the Cavaliers, let's talk about the Hornets, and as for the overall factors of the Hornets' loss, I will not give you a detailed description here. After all, the reason for the loss is not something that can be clearly explained in one sentence or two. However, the editor of this article would like to focus on talking about the player Bauer, and talk about the players who can leave with a smile after losing. Ball played 34 minutes in the game, shooting 12-of-22, including 5-of-8 three-pointers and 1-of-1 free throw, and had 30 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 6 fouls, plus-minus +14. In the face of such data, I just want to say that Bauer really tried his best, and fought for 6 fouls in order to win.
I believe that fans who have watched the game will know how well Ball performed in this game. Ball on the offensive end is not only the Hornets' super scorer but also the Hornets' offensive engine. When the team's attack is smooth, Ball will use his big picture view and pass the ball to get open shots for his teammates, and balls can also use his personal attack to help the team move forward once the attack is not smooth. Especially when the team is in trouble, Ball can always stand up and help the team move forward. Take this game, for example, with about a minute to go before the end of the game, Ball did not hesitate to hit a key three-pointer, and from this one ball, you can see how outstanding Ball's key ball ability is.
In addition to the stability on the offensive end, Ball on the defensive end is also very good. Ball has height, speed, explosiveness, and a super high basketball IQ. For this reason, on the defensive end we can see that Ball is really at ease. When defending outside players, Ball was able to use his height to cover his opponents. When defending forward players, Ball can use his footsteps to move in advance to make predictions. To put it bluntly, Ball is a player who can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position on the defensive end, and his Defensive System on the Court Hornets will be very strong.
Again, although the Hornets lost this game, Ball's performance is commendable, and he can leave the court with a smile. In fact, it is not only that Ball has played well in this game, but ball's performance so far in the new season has been very stable. After honing last season, Ball has become the Hornets' core player this season. At the same time, after last season's training, Ball is gradually becoming a superstar in the league.
