McGrady rushed up excitedly, Liu Mang also jumped up, and the two of them butt-butted in celebration.

Paul watched Liu Mang hit the ball even as he was being pressed against him and his jersey was being pulled. He saw that the point difference was narrowed to one point, and then it was back to 4 points!

When Liu Mang went to the free throw line and hit the extra free throw, widening the point difference to 84 to 79, Paul's heart went cold!

It seems that they have worked hard for most of the day, but as long as Liu Mang comes back, their hard work will be in vain!

Paul didn't give up yet, suppressed his uneasiness, advanced to the frontcourt, and faced Liu Mang in singles.

With JR Smith and Rasul Butler, the Hawks did not choose to double attack. Rasul Butler scored a three-pointer in the third quarter, and J.R. Smith made 3 of 4 shots and scored 8 points.

Liu Mang defended Paul alone.

Paul is very fast, on par with Liu Mang, and has a good sense of breakthrough rhythm, and he accelerates breakthroughs against the defense he faces!

Liu Mang didn't lose his position, and he defended very focused this time. Paul couldn't get rid of Liu Mang in the mid-range, so he had to force Liu Mang's defense and step back and shoot!

Liu Mang pressed up and jumped to block the shot. He had good awareness and covered Paul's shooting point. Paul leaned back sharply and made a jumper from the free throw line, and hit it again!

The Hornets still haven't stopped scoring!

81 to 84, 3 points difference, five minutes left, Paul's mentality has stabilized a lot, and hope is back!

Liu Mang became even more excited when he saw Paul's excited roar and waved his fist in defense.

Rookie Paul... is also very capable!

He is indeed a super rookie who has been compared with Kidd by the media after playing just over 20 games!

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, took a big step across the three-point line, and shot directly!

The hand feeling has not cooled down after half an hour of rest, it continues to stay hot!

Facing Paul's three-point shot, he hit it again!

87 to 81, the point difference continued to expand to more than 5 points!

When the Hornets attack, the Eagles pay more attention to Paul. When Paul breaks into the mid-range, Kwame Brown directly comes up to flank him.

After the third quarter, Paul became more accustomed to this kind of early attack. He immediately shot David West-David West's mid-range jumper.

The Hornets continue to maintain hope of a comeback, with a 4-point deficit and 4 minutes and 19 seconds left, and there is still a chance.

but……

When Paul and Desmond Mason double-teamed directly from the top of the arc, Liu Mang continued to shoot directly before the double-team came over!
Chapter completed!
