runaway point guard

Chapter 14

If Zhong Yu's sudden rise caught people off guard, it gave everyone a lot of hope.

Then, some of his performances afterwards made people feel that he was really just a flash in the pan.

Because, after the Hornets defeated the Jazz, Zhong Yu suddenly fell into more crises.Compared with the status of bench players and drinking fountain watchers that everyone is almost unwilling to deal with in the past, the situation that Zhong Yu is facing now is more complicated and more intense.

Because now he is not just fighting alone.

In the Hornets' consecutive defeats of the Celtics and Jazz, Zhong Yu suddenly stood up from the bench and exploded. He had only scored 7 points in the previous half of the season. After scoring 32 points, he suddenly became the most popular figure in the domestic basketball media.

The nickname of "Emperor Melancholy" was changed to "Brother Yu". The rise of Zhong Yu really surprised the fans in China, but in just a few days, Zhong Yu's fans don't know how much he has risen. .

Even in New Orleans, many people are paying attention to his message.

It's just that upstarts are upstarts, and they're not at all the same as superstars.

If a superstar does not play well in one game, others will say that he is not in good shape, and he is believed to be able to recover in the next game.

However, if the nouveau riche can't play a game well, this person is basically useless.People tend to say that this person is just a short-lived outburst, and what awaits him will soon turn into a curse.

For example, Zhong Yu is like that now.

One game after the Hornets beat the Jazz, the New Orleans Hornets played at home against the defensively solid Detroit Pistons.

In this game, I don't know how many people are guessing how many points Zhong Yu can get.

"It can score more than 15 points, I guess." Some of Zhong Yu's fans recalled Zhong Yu's crazy scoring vigor in the previous two games, and came up with this guess.

"Fifteen points is a must. Maybe we can break through [-] points. Give us some surprises." There is no shortage of such optimistic guesses.In fact, there are still many fake fans in this world. In the eyes of fake fans, their idol is the whole world.

Since Zhong Yu has become the idol of many people, his ability has been overestimated a lot.

Such speculation abounds, even Zhong Yuhei can't say anything now.After all, Zhong Yu scored 13 points in two consecutive games and scored 19 points in the other. His ability is being proven.

Although Zhong Yuhei still didn't like Zhong Yu very much, no matter what he said, his ability in the first two games was put on top of it, and no one could question it.

It's just that Zhong Yu's performance, which was originally considered to be quite anticipated, made Zhong Yu's fans seem to have eaten a nail that made their mouths bleed.Many people originally thought that Zhong Yu would be able to show his might again, but who knew that the situation in this match was quite bad.

The game has just started, the Pistons and the Hornets are head-to-head at home, and the offense and defense time and time again make people feel hearty.The gorgeous pick-and-roll, offense, and rigorous defense of the Hornets, and the simple but simple and rough offense and solid defense of the Pistons all make people feel that this game is hearty.

After the first quarter, Zhong Yu was not able to play, and now the domestic Zhong Yu fans complained a bit.

Under such circumstances, the second quarter of the game started, and now, Zhong Yu's fans cheered.As for the Hornets fans at the scene, many fans were also cheering.

Because, Zhong Yu's performance in the previous two games also won him some fans in New Orleans.

The game just started in this quarter, and Zhong Yu executed a jumper. However, before the jumper was shot, the Pistons' defense immediately followed.

This kind of defense was quite timely. The moment Zhong Yu just made a jump shot, the opponent came up to interfere.

Zhong Yu also gradually discovered that although in that area, the theoretical hit rate can reach 95%, it also has a lot to do with his shooting state. When the shot is uncomfortable, the hit rate will still decrease infinitely.

For example, this time, the opponent has already disrupted the rhythm of Zhong Yu's jump shot, so the basketball shot missed.

Zhong Yu missed a jump shot, but everyone didn't take it seriously. After all, no matter how great he is, it is impossible to hit every jump shot.

It's just that the next Pistons' defense against Zhong Yu is quite oppressive. Zhong Yu is almost unable to receive the pass in the already lit area.The players of the Pistons were like a piece of brown sugar, sticking to Zhong Yu's body tightly, and Zhong Yu's receiving route was almost cut off.

If it is another player, they can consider other means of scoring, or change to another area to catch the ball.

However, for Zhong Yu, this is almost an impossible task, because his lit area is only such a small area.

It is really not difficult for the opponent to restrict him. Even if he catches the basketball by chance, he will often be disrupted by the opponent and miss the jump shot in the end.

Zhong Yu played until the 8th minute of the second quarter, taking a total of 9 shots, but only hit 3 goals, and the efficiency value was quite low.Two more free throws were made for a total of 8 points.

Therefore, the Zhong Yu fans who watched the game in front of the TV are now a little surprised and a little disappointed.

In the previous two games, they had seen a Zhong Yu who had a perfect shot. How could it be the Zhong Yu who didn't even make any shots at all?
Everyone began to feel lost. Is this Zhong Yu really just as Zhong Yuhei said, just a flash in the pan?

Zhong Yuhei slowly jumped out again. The only thing Zhong Yu fans could refute was that Zhong Yu's score was better than nothing, at least eight points.

The other players of the Hornets also felt that Zhong Yu didn't have the aura of blocking and killing gods and Buddhas like in the previous two games.

"Zhong Yu, relax, you are a good player, I believe you can get through this time." Scott casually comforted Zhong Yu.However, this sentence also made Zhong Yu feel a little warm in his heart. In his long bench career before, how had he ever received such a little bit of comfort?

However, this also means that Scott and the others also feel that Zhong Yu really didn't play that well in this game. It seems that his situation has become critical again.

As a bench player, the precarious paleness slowly flooded into Zhong Yu's heart.
