Chapter 22 The Spurs in Dilemma

A new game has begun, but it seems that Popovich was only a little surprised by Scott's arrangement, and then he didn't react much.

Then the game continued, and the Hornets lacked a strong pitcher like Zhong Yu, so the situation became a little more difficult. Paul is now completely in a state of explosion, because if he doesn't explode, he may have no chance.

The Spurs and Hornets are currently in a round-by-round offense.

The two sides fight back and forth, and no one is willing to lose a move under the opponent's hand.The Spurs' offensive alliance is well-known, with a rigorous system. Everyone is like a screw on a precision instrument, and every attack is difficult to parry.The Hornets' offense doesn't have many features, but Paul's go-betweens made the Hornets not fall into the bottom line.

By the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was 77:74, and the Hornets were still three points behind.

"Three points..." When the players on both sides returned to the side of the court, Scott considered the current offensive and defensive situation of the two sides, and suddenly made some judgments.

"It seems that we can let that pretty wicked kid play again." Scott looked at Zhong Yu and secretly thought: "He has rested for a while, and his physical strength should be fine. Even if the opponent can find out his weakness to attack, But as long as the opponent needs to change formation because of Zhong Yu, it will also make the Spurs' tactical arrangement more complicated."

Thinking of this, Scott patted Zhong Yu on the shoulder: "Young man, get ready to play, we are going to beat the Spurs, you are an important person."

Zhong Yu nodded, now he can more and more feel that his position in the team is improving.Scott can often think of himself, this is a lot of improvement from the previous father who didn't love his mother or loved him.

The last quarter of the game has begun!

Standing on the basketball court, this feeling of being the center of everyone's focus really makes people a little excited.Next to the basketball court, there were many girl fans, with their blond hair flying, cheering for Zhong Yu unreservedly.

"Zhong Yu is back on the court..." Yu Jia said, "Mr. Zhang, at this critical moment, what do you think is Scott's plan to send Zhong Yu to the court?"

Zhang Lili thought about it for a while, and then said: "Based on my understanding, I think that Byron Scott let Zhong Yu play at this time, it is not necessarily because he needs to score so many points to make the opponent collapse, but because he hopes to be able to Use Zhong Yu's powerful jumper to interfere with the Spurs' offense and defense."

"Well." Yu Jia nodded and said: "But this also proves that Zhong Yu has gradually gained a firm foothold within the Hornets system. He is a spearhead of the Hornets. Disorderly."

"Yes!" Zhang Lili smiled slightly: "That's the reason, so as long as Zhong Yu can maintain this state, the Hornets can only need him more and more."

"It's just that Zhong Yu still has a long way to go to make the Hornets need him more and more." Yu Jia sighed: "After all, even a superstar who has been famous for a long time in a place like the NBA stadium may die one day." Falling into the mundane world, let alone a bench player like Zhong Yu who has performed exceptionally well in just a few games."

………………

During the chat between the two, the Hornets and the Spurs played against each other several times in the fourth quarter.Ginobili hit a pull-up jumper over Zhong Yu's head to open the score to 79:74, and the Hornets trailed by five points.

At this time, the ball was still in the hands of the Spurs, and Duncan hit another jumper with a rebound. The Spurs' score had broken through 80 points and reached 81 points.

"The Hornets can't score the next goal, so the situation is a little anxious." Watching Paul control the ball for halftime, Zhang Lili made a comment beside him.

"Yes... It seems that the Spurs' defense is quite tough." Zhang Lili said this. Because of this ball, the Spurs used Bruce Bowen of the Famous League to defend Paul, and with the well-connected supplementary defense, all of a sudden, Let Paul get inside a few times but it doesn't do much.

Seeing that the 24 seconds of the offense are approaching, Paul can only choose to shoot himself or pass the basketball to his teammates, so that the teammates can shoot quickly.He chose the latter, because at this time he just saw Zhong Yu running in from beyond the three-point line, standing at a 45-degree angle on the left wing, seventeen feet away.

"Catch the ball!" Paul roared, and the basketball rushed straight after his voice.The basketball gliding in the air was like a sharp cannonball, but when it was actually in Zhong Yu's hands, the strength of the basketball was just right, so that Zhong Yu almost jumped up high without any buffer time.

"I won't let you succeed." Ginobili didn't hate Zhong Yu deeply, but he hated him quite a lot. He jumped up with all his strength, and because it was too late, his right hand was sealed in front of Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu didn't expect that this kind of defensive trick that should have been used on Kobe Bryant would be used on himself!
However, to him, it didn't matter, the basketball in his hand still flew out with a beautiful arc...

then!

"Shua!" The basketball bloomed wantonly among the net flowers, and the crisp sound of passing through the net in the middle of the basketball court fascinated everyone.

"Go in! Go in again! At this critical moment, Zhong Yu's jump shot made the Hornets stabilize their position." Zhang Lili said hastily.

Paul also came up to give Zhong Yu a high-five. This ball, he did not make a wrong choice!He didn't believe in mistakes either!Zhong Yu's jump shot, although it can't be said to be miraculous and unpredictable, it is indeed hard to guard against.

"Great guy!" Scott also cheered slightly under the basketball court.It seems that the way he replaced Zhong Yu in the fourth quarter was wise.

Popovich of the Spurs frowned, and he was ready to let two people help defend Zhong Yu.

Because this guy's touch seems to have been completely played out. If he doesn't suppress it, then today's Spurs will definitely be shot by that unknown Chinese shooter!

"Sure enough, the formation has changed!" A new round of offense began, and Scott saw that the Spurs' defense against Zhong Yu really changed their strategy, and he knew that his method had achieved results.

Yes, the current Zhong Yu has attracted the attention of the Spurs and attracted a lot of defensive firepower.With Paul here, he gained more room to move around. The backcourt combination of Zhong Yu and Paul suddenly made the Spurs a bit awkward.

Paul's assists came out one by one. When the Spurs focused their defense on Paul, Zhong Yu's side might bloom again...

The Spurs suddenly became a dilemma!
