runaway point guard

Chapter 203 Three-pointers show off at the last moment of the game

The three-point difference is not so overwhelming in the eyes of the Lakers.

In fact, the current team configuration of the Lakers is quite good. In terms of firepower, both inside and outside lines can show off their power, and they are very effective.

This section of the game is also the final battle of the third game of the Western Conference Finals between the Hornets and the Lakers.

It was still Paul who was in possession of the ball, advancing past the half court, standing firmly outside the three-point line, controlling the ball with his left hand, and directing everyone to position with his right hand. This was the first ball in the last quarter, and he wanted to hit the success rate.

Chandler pulled out from deep and gave Paul a pick-and-roll. Paul wanted to break through directly, but on the way to break through, Gasol on the inside came up to block him.

Zhong Yu had just run into the inside line. When Gasol went up to block Paul, he came behind Gasol. Before Gasol could turn around, Paul passed the basketball from his crotch.

The basketball passed through Gasol's crotch, and then appeared in Zhong Yu's hands. Zhong Yu was about to make a layup from the baseline at this time, but Kobe suddenly came from behind him. If he made a layup, it would only be a blocked shot ending.

The height of 198 cm can be regarded as average on the court, at most it is low, but the height of 198 cm in the interior is difficult to gain any advantage. Although Paul passed the ball very well, Zhong Yu can only pretend to lie to the layup. Look at Kobe.

Kobe was really fooled. At this time, everyone thought that Zhong Yu was planning to lay up, but Zhong Yu quickly retracted the basketball, then controlled the ball and dribbled a few steps, retreated to the left bottom corner of the basket, and then stopped suddenly. Jump shot.

Zhong Yu swayed Kobe away and played very beautifully. Kobe was directly confused by Zhong Yu and couldn't find him. When he saw Zhong Yu again, he had already hit a jumper from the bottom corner.

The Hornets scored two points first and recovered two points.

The Lakers started to attack, and the Lakers' offense was still a triangle tactic. This time Kobe did not go it alone. He handed the basketball to the inside and planned to go inside to grab rebounds. Zhong Yu also followed, but at this time Gasol turned around directly. Put the basketball into the basket from the other direction of the basket.

The Lakers recovered the points scored by the Hornets.

Then, West of the Hornets made a jumper from [-] feet, and Kobe of the Lakers also made a pull-up jumper from the bottom corner. Both of them hit, so the point difference returned to the state of three points again.

The next two teams missed several jump shots and the ball returned to the Hornets.

This time, Paul was still outside the three-point line, using his right hand to direct his teammates to position. One after another, most of the players reached their positions in the tactical system, and Zhong Yu also came to the corner near the top of the arc. place.At this time, the Lakers opened the door wide, and Paul immediately entered the inside line, but he only entered for a while, the Lakers began to close the door, and Paul was caught inside.

These are also some practices adopted to deal with Paul's breakthrough and the follow-up actions after the breakthrough.

However, Paul has good eyesight. Just as he was double-teamed by the Lakers, he saw Zhong Yu standing outside the crowd. Zhong Yu was standing near the top of the arc. The basketball passed.

The basketball passed through the crowd and came to Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu stood beyond the three-point line and made a jump shot without stopping.

"Shua!" The basketball passed the net and the score was tied.

"Zhong Yu's three-pointer... is really outstanding." Su Qun said with a little emotion: "I have rarely seen a player who is so accurate in three-pointers. In this game, he made several three-pointers , I hardly ever see him miss."

Ke Fan looked at the data, and then said: "This game is up to now, counting the three-pointer just now, Zhong Yu has shot a total of 8 three-pointers and hit 5 of them, with a hit rate of more than 60%."

"Sure enough!" Su Qun said, "I think his three-point shooting percentage is quite good."

The game continued, Zhong Yu used a three-pointer to tie the score for the Hornets this time, and the score between the two sides was tied.After a period of time, the two teams continued to attack and defend one by one.

Zhong Yu is still defending Kobe, but now the Hornets have also started targeted tactics against Kobe in the fourth quarter.Once Kobe broke through Zhong Yu and wanted to continue to go deep inside, he would be double-teamed by West or Peja or even both.

Can't let Kobe shoot easily, this is also the defensive principle of the Hornets.

Don't be fooled by Kobe's seemingly less than 50.00% shooting rate. In fact, Kobe's combat effectiveness in the fourth quarter is quite terrifying.

After all, he is also a veteran who has been in the league for many years, and he has worked hard for many things by himself in the hail of bullets.

In addition, the Hornets' defensive focus is Gasol. The Lakers' record this season is quite good, and they are also one of the favorites for the championship. It can be said that Gasol has a lot of credit for it.

Under such a defense, the Hornets also played very seriously. The players really wanted to win this game.On the offensive end, the Hornets mainly rely on the assists and scoring of Paul and Zhong Yu, as well as the performance of other players, so the two teams play with punches to the flesh, and the offense and defense are time and time again. try my best.

Everyone played very seriously.

However, when it came time to really compete for the team's hard power, the Hornets' shortcomings became more and more obvious-the inside line.

The Lakers still occupied their own inside and began to score as much as possible. Moreover, Kobe also launched several attacks from the outside. Under such circumstances, the situation is slowly moving towards the Lakers.

到了比赛还剩下4分钟21秒的时候，双方的比分是89：81，黄蜂队落后湖人队8分。

At this point in the game, there is still an eight-point difference. The situation is quite bad for the Hornets.

Scott called a timeout, exhausted by the disparity between the teams.He is very worried, but sometimes, the short board is the short board.

The record of the Hornets this season has actually greatly exceeded the expectations of the management. They have been quite surprised by the current situation of the Hornets.

However, everyone still wants to take a step forward. Even if they can't kill the Lakers, they must at least win a few more games.

"Zhong Yu..." Scott said to Zhong Yu: "Strengthen your offense! Strengthen your offense as much as possible, and try to ensure the success rate when attacking. Do you know what I mean?"

Zhong Yu nodded: "I see."

Scott gave himself unlimited fire rights again.

With unlimited firepower, it seems that Zhong Yu can play well in the fourth quarter of the game.

The game starts again!
After Paul controlled the ball for half court, he handed the basketball to Zhong Yu, who faced Kobe again.Then, West quietly walked to Zhong Yu's side. Zhong Yu felt that West was coming up, because this was one of the team's tactics. On the other side of the three-point line, near the top of the arc.

Then, Kobe wanted to catch up, but it was too late.

Zhong Yu directly shot a three-point jumper there!
There is this ball!
After the three-pointer hit, the score became 89:84, and the Hornets were still five points behind their opponents.

Kobe also planned to single out Zhong Yu at this time. After using three consecutive tentative steps in front of Zhong Yu, he jumped up forcibly and shot a three-pointer.

"Bang!" The basketball hit the rim, bounced out, and the rebound was caught by Chandler.This time, the Hornets finally guaranteed their own rebounds.

Then, Paul controlled the ball for half court, and then immediately passed the basketball to Zhong Yu. Kobe hadn't scored a goal just now, and he was not in a good mood. He planned to defend Zhong Yu tightly, so as not to let this kid have an easy chance to score.

At the moment, Kobe followed suit and defended in front of Zhong Yu.

At this time, Zhong Yu came outside his second area, and then suddenly broke through to the inside forcibly, and came to the second area, his speed increased sharply.

Kobe could only open up space as much as possible, intending to stop Zhong Yu in front, but at this moment, Zhong Yu suddenly controlled the ball and made an emergency stop, and then retreated instantly.

Zhong Yu returned directly beyond the three-point line, and he put the basketball away, held it in his hand, and shot a jumper directly.

"Shua!" It was another jump shot.

Zhong Yu hit two three-pointers in a row, and the score became 89:87. The Hornets were only two points behind!
After Zhong Yu played, his role was obvious. Now the gap between the Lakers and the Hornets is only the last two points.

Kobe seemed a little annoyed because he failed to guard Zhong Yu again.

However, Zhong Yu's touch is indeed too enchanting!
"It was a really good fight."

"This three-pointer can kill the Lakers!"

The fans also cheered quite loudly. Zhong Yu's ball was quite beautiful, and it also helped the Hornets chase the score to the point where there were only two points left.

Zhong Yu also made three three-pointers in this quarter.

"This shot is still quite beautiful! I think Zhong Yu is also very skilled in using this move now." Su Qun commented: "This move is quite Iverson's style. In this game, there are With one ball, Zhong Yu directly changed direction, shaking Kobe to the bottom line, and he made a jump shot at a 45-degree angle, which was even better than Iverson’s. And now he is also playing this ball very resolutely , the Hornets, now there is only a two-point gap left, and they can directly return to the same starting line with the Lakers."

"That's right." Ke Fan also said: "Zhong Yu's playing style is indeed very elegant. However, it can be seen now that the Lakers will strengthen their defense against him. I don't know if the Hornets can still tie the score. , and even won the final victory of the game.”

"Maybe it depends mainly on Zhong Yu and Paul. These two people are now the key to the Hornets' victory."

The game continued, Paul of the Hornets had possession of the ball for halftime, at this moment, everyone's eyes were on him.

And Paul passed the basketball to Zhong Yu.

"Zhong Yu received another pass... It seems that Zhong Yu occupies a very important position in the team's last-minute tactics." Su Qun said.
