runaway point guard

Chapter 102
Today, the starting lineups of the two sides are:
Hornets: center Tyson Chandler, power forward David West, small forward Peja Stojakovic, shooting guard Maurice Peterson, point guard Chris Paul.

Mavericks: Center Eric - Dampier, power forward Dirk - Nowitzki, small forward Josh - Howard, shooting guard Jerry - Stackhouse, point guard Jason - Kidd.

The starting lineups of both sides basically did not meet everyone's expectations, but some fans expressed their dissatisfaction:

"Byron (Scott), I think it's necessary for you to start Zhong Yu...he already has this level."

There are many opinions like this, but leaving Zhong Yu on the bench naturally has its own intentions.Otherwise, Ginobili's scoring ability is quite strong, but many times he is still willing to let himself be the sixth man.

Of course, Zhong Yu is not Manu Ginobili, and his sitting on the bench is only temporary.

The game just started, the Hornets Chandler made a successful jump ball, Stojakovic missed a layup, Chandler followed up and made up the ball, the home team opened the scoring first, West then broke through and made a layup.

Howard scored 4 points in a row for the Mavericks. Nowitzki broke through and caused West to foul and made two free throws.In the next two minutes, the Mavericks scored 2 points only by Dampier's free throws. The Hornets played a wave of 8-2 spurts. Chandler scored 4 points with an eye-catching performance, 2 of which came from Paul's assisted alley-oop dunk.

After the Mavericks timeout, Kidd sent two consecutive passes, Dampier dunks, Stackhouse hit an open jumper, and then also assisted Nowitzki for a dunk.

The Hornets called a timeout. At this moment, the score of the two sides is

At 8:12, the score of the Hornets was overtaken, and now the time of the first quarter started 4 minutes.

After the Hornets timeout, Scott put Zhong Yu on the court.

Zhong Yu had just played and ran into his old friend Stackhouse again. At this moment, Stackhouse glanced at Zhong Yu, and there was nothing to say in his eyes, but Zhong Yu felt that he seemed a little complacent looking at him .

But he can't control so much. His first offense after playing is in the hands of the Hornets. Zhong Yu and Paul came to cooperate. He used a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc to let Paul slip into the inside. His pass came back.

Zhong Yu was about to shoot after receiving the ball, and suddenly realized that Stackhouse was in a position where it was quite possible to block him, or at least to seriously interfere with his shooting.At the moment, he had no choice but to put away the basketball, and then backed out of the three-point line, ready to shoot a three-pointer, but Stackhouse's position was quite strange, and he once again let his abacus come to nothing

The current position of Stackhouse makes Zhong Yu feel very uncomfortable. He can defend his shots very well here. If he insists on going his own way, he can easily be blocked by him.

However, time was running out at this time, so he could only put away the basketball, then rotate his body around the axis of his left foot, turn into the first area, and finally hit his first jumper at the top of the arc.

"Strike!" The audience applauded and cheered.

Sure enough, Zhong Yu was just as they had imagined, and still had his own threatening power. He just scored a goal when he came on the field.But they didn't know, Zhong Yu frowned slightly, because he felt that Stackhouse seemed to have discovered some mystery.The Mavericks started to attack again. Stackhouse wanted to break through Zhong Yu, but Zhong Yu defended very well in the first area.

When he came back again, Zhong Yu felt that many of his movements were a little more difficult. Paul just passed him a ball, and then he directly broke through from the top of the arc, and was blocked by the opponent. He could only pass the basketball again to Paul.

In this blockade, it is easy to see that the opponent is almost pinching Zhong Yu's Achilles' heel and popping up at the most critical place. Although Zhong Yu's breakthrough in the first area is very powerful, he can't stand such a siege .

If he can open the second area, the situation may be different, but right now, he has no way to break through this defense for the time being.

In the following time, Zhong Yu also did not score for a long time, and he missed two shots.

These two shots were originally where he was good at.However, when Zhong Yu made a jump shot, he was seriously disturbed, and Stackhouse made some small moves behind his back to the referee's eyes.

Such small actions are very subtle, and Zhong Yu basically has nothing to do if he finds out, but it also makes Zhong Yu further understand that the Mavericks have indeed taken a very strict defense against him.

However, even though he knew this, Zhong Yu was still a little annoyed because of Stackhouse's little move.

Stackhouse didn't say a word, but the complacency on his expression still stimulated Zhong Yu.

Another attack began, this time it was the Mavericks who were attacking.

Kidd handed the basketball to Stackhouse. At this time, the audience on the sidelines all paid attention.Zhong Yu's game was not as strong as they imagined, but they supported Zhong Yu for so long, and recognized him as a key player for the Hornets, and they would not start to betray him just because he felt bad for the time being.

Stackhouse used his side, ready to push Zhong Yu, and at this moment, he was also full of ambition.His team's tactics have paid off, Zhong Yu has already missed two shots, and now he has almost no chance to make a move!This made Stackhouse feel that he could take revenge.

So he was complacently preparing to humiliate Zhong Yu on the offensive end again, and the audience next to the basketball court raised their hearts in their throats, because everyone knew that Zhong Yu's defense could be considered ordinary and average.

Stackhouse bumped into Zhong Yu very happily, this time, he knew that he was going to get two more points.However, the moment he touched Zhong Yu's body, he suddenly felt that something was wrong...

Because he could hardly feel the shock force from Zhong Yu's body.

But it is a pity that Stackhouse realized it too late. In everyone's eyes, Stackhouse hit Zhong Yu, and then Zhong Yu fell to the ground in pain. The captured Zhong Yu had a sad face as if he had fallen to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Seeing Zhong Yu like this, his female fans quickly quit: "Expel this villain...throw Jerry Stackhouse out of the stadium!"

At the same time, they were extremely worried about what would happen to Zhong Yu. After all, Stackhouse was much stronger than Zhong Yu.

When they were worried, the whistle sounded and the referee called Stackhouse an offensive foul.
