Chapter 132 Hornets vs. Spurs in the Western Conference Semifinals

Chandler was entrusted with a task, and he knew it.

So, after Chandler nodded, he continued to fight with his team's 'Duncan clone'.

This kind of team training is in full swing.

Scott is also quite satisfied with the recent training situation. The cooperation between Zhong Yu and other starting players has also reached the level he requires.

Therefore, today's training goal was completed early.

After this training is over, everyone can go back to rest.

In the past few days, rest is quite helpful to maintain the physical fitness of the players, especially for the current main players such as Zhong Yu and Paul.

"Boss, I don't understand why you let Zhong Yu be the starter under such circumstances." After everyone left, Paul asked Scott with concern.

Scott smiled, and then said: "Chris, I know what you want to say, do you think Zhong Yu is sent out to serve as the starter who has never been in the playoffs against a team like the Spurs? It's risky, and risky for himself, isn't it?"

Paul nodded: "That's right, I just have such doubts."

Scott laughed, patted Paul on the shoulder, and said, "The Spurs think so too..."

Paul immediately thought of Scott's plan, and said, "That's true... The Spurs probably didn't expect you to let Zhong Yu start at this time. It may be more difficult for them to adapt."

Scott nodded and said: "But it's just a trick. On the basketball court, tricks will eventually be consumed by offense and defense again and again. In the end, the real competition is the overall strength of the two teams. The level of the team... I also think that it is time for Zhong Yu to really practice and become the backbone of the Hornets. When he takes the playoffs as his first battlefield and experiences himself, the soul of a great player will also be recognized. Practice slowly."

Paul nodded, now that he knew what Scott was thinking, he said immediately, "I see."

After the Hornets rested for three days, the latest news came. The Spurs finally defeated the Suns with a total score of 4:2 and entered the Western Conference semifinals.

This news made the Hornets' nerves tense up.

The Western Conference semifinals are coming!

The semifinals are also very attractive to fans. In the West, this year's semifinals are the Lakers against the Jazz, and the Hornets against the Spurs.The battle between the Lakers and the Jazz will naturally be very exciting.

In addition, the game between the Hornets and the Spurs is also somewhat attractive.

Because in the previous game, the Hornets swept the Mavericks in an upset, which gave everyone a lot of interest in paying attention to the games between these two teams.Many fans are expecting the Hornets to continue to upset and repel the old Spurs.

The Hornets are indeed a bit wicked this season.

Since the beginning of the season, the record has been soaring, and in the last month, the record was even better. In the playoffs, when many people were not optimistic, they swept the Mavericks.

Sweeping the strong Mavericks, the Hornets' record is indeed impressive.

On this day, the Spurs' players had already flown to New Orleans, rented a college basketball team's arena nearby, and began to arrange targeted tactics.

Popovich is now standing in front of everyone, pointing Jiangshan and said: "Today is the last day of targeted training. I need to explain what I mean again-we need to defend the Hornets: cp3, Zhong Yu , Chandler! Did you hear that?"

Popovich saw that everyone was nodding, and he didn't have the momentum and prestige of other teams' sudden promises. He was angry and felt that it was strange—his favorite general was such a group of people.After all, this place was portrayed as the 'Mensao Gang' by many reporters and fans.

Popovich walked over and hugged Duncan's head sitting on the chair: "Tim! Did you hear that?"

Duncan raised his head and glanced at him lightly: "I heard, my target is Chandler."

Popovich let him go with satisfaction, and then said: "I need to say again, we can't take this team lightly because of the Hornets' age, because this team is difficult to deal with. They have A strong backcourt combination of cp3 and Zhong Yu, and a few good role players. Tyson Chandler is constantly growing... These are things that need our attention."

Everyone still gave a collective oh, but Popovich knew that they had heard it. In this team, it seemed that a buzzing mosquito had to be infected to throw away its own voice as much as possible.

In this dreary afternoon, the evening sun shone in through the windows miserly, and the dust danced in the pure light.The entire Spurs slapped the basketball court loudly, and the sunset gradually descended, staining everyone and the basketball in their hands red.

Duncan suddenly looked up at the sunset outside. Paul was his college alumni, so the two of them had a good friendship.

"This season, we want to break the nightmare of not being able to win the championship in even-numbered years." Duncan thought this way: "Now, the small cp3 team can already compete with us...and discovered a very good rookie. We must pass Passed this level."

…………

Compared with the dullness of the Spurs, from direct sunlight to oblique shots to the sunset, the Hornets players were talking and laughing during training.You can see everyone's playfulness here, they kiss like a family, and the playoffs are like a hard and invisible subway chain, binding them tightly together.

So everyone works hard for himself, but also for others.

Seeing such an atmosphere, Zhong Yu almost felt that he had returned to the school team when he was in college. The university he attended in Nanjing had a group of brothers there.

This kind of atmosphere can make people consciously improve themselves and work hard for the whole team.

Soon, today's training will be over.

Tomorrow night, the Hornets will face the Spurs at home!

This is a high-profile game!

For Zhong Yu, this is also a very important game. This is not only because Zhong Yu hopes to beat the Spurs, so that he can go one step further in the playoffs for the first time in his career.It's also for the purpose of playing well in his first starting game.

Yes, he will start for the first time tomorrow night.
