runaway point guard

Chapter 255 Meeting the Spurs Again
Last season, the Hornets defeated the Spurs with a total score of 4-1 and entered the Western Conference Finals. They fought seven games with the Lakers in the finals and unfortunately lost.

That's really the pain that's staying with the Spurs.

It was also something that made the Spurs players heartbroken throughout the offseason.

Facing the Hornets again, although the Hornets have reinforcements, they believe that they can teach the Hornets a good lesson.

In the past five games, Zhong Yu averaged 37 points per game, and also averaged 1 block and 2 steals per game. Such statistics are indeed very strong.

He is currently at No.1 on the scoring list.

He is also the scoring leader.

To be the scoring champion is indeed a supreme honor for a shooting guard.For this honor, I don't know how many seniors threw their heads and blood but failed.

At the same time, Zhong Yu is also the first NBA scoring champion among Chinese players and even Chinese players.

The game between the Hornets and the Spurs has received a lot of attention.

Many people are looking forward to the results of this game coming out as soon as possible-whether the Hornets beat the Spurs again to prove themselves, or the Spurs let the Hornets end their five-game winning streak and end this best start, and finally they can only drift soul?
Such suspense attracted many fans to watch this game.

"We're going to meet the Hornets again!" In fact, in a team like the Spurs, many people seem to ignore Popovich's words. There was some silence.

However, when it comes to the Hornets, these guys are less casual.

Indeed, the Hornets left them with an unforgettable humiliation last season.In this game, no matter what they pay, the Spurs want to get their intestines back.

Don't think that the Spurs players will lose that sense of honor when they get old... After all, this is in the NBA. Every player has his own pride.

"Yes! We are going to meet the Hornets again! This team, using our shame last season, became a glorious stepping stone for them to reach the Western Conference Finals... This time, we must not back down."

Everyone nodded thoughtfully. In any case, Popovich's words reached the bottom of many people's hearts.

Last season, they lost to the Hornets for no reason, which really made them feel too aggrieved.

This season, they want to do their best to get revenge and give the Hornets an unforgettable lesson.

The coach of the Spurs is encouraging the players, and the coach of the Hornets is the same.

Scott said: "This is a luxurious start that our Hornets have never achieved! Guys, we have achieved results that many people can't even imagine. We have won the opening five consecutive victories. This result is quite amazing. And now, The Spurs will never be reconciled to their failure last season, they will definitely do their best to revenge. We need to beat them and use our own victory to stop their disgusting desire to end our winning streak... We need a game victory!"

"YES!" Every player shouted.

Now, the Hornets have become one of the hottest teams in the league. Even the Lakers may not have as much exposure as them occasionally.

Many players of the Hornets have also experienced the treatment that some players can only experience in the Lakers and the like-even if they perform well in the training game, or have some tricks in the training game, they will immediately be punished. Can get the attention of all fans.

This feeling, now the Hornets have given them.

Therefore, now everyone does not want the Hornets to lose.

"Can the Hornets continue to maintain their winning streak and defeat the Spurs again?" This topic has also become one of the hottest topics about the American NBA recently.

The collision between the Hornets and the Spurs soon took place at the home of the Spurs, San Antonio.

San Antonio is an area with a very strong home atmosphere. Last season, Zhong Yu led the total score here and eliminated the Spurs. Now, when the enemies meet, they are extremely jealous, and the fans are scolding the Hornets.

This makes Hornets fans even more eager to win this game.

During the warm-up, Zhong Yu met Ginobili.

Ginobili said, "Hey, long time no see."

"Long time no see, buddy, since you lost the Olympic Games, I haven't seen you for a long time." Zhong Yu said intentionally.

Ginobili smiled helplessly. This guy is really "nice" to him, and he needs to be reminded of many things.So, he said: "It's true, in fact, since you lost to the US national team in China, I haven't seen you on TV for a long time."

Zhong Yu laughed, and Ginobili's tit-for-tat confrontation with him was also expected.

Ginobili also smiled, and then said: "I can inform you in advance that the Hornets' six-game winning streak is impossible. Your game must become the background."

…………

The game really begins!

This game, which has attracted a lot of attention, is officially underway at San Antonio's home court!Today, the Hornets still sent their unshakable starting lineup-Paul, Zhong Yu, Peja, West, Chandler.

The Spurs also released their starting lineup.

The two teams, after last season, will face another dialogue.

The Spurs are still the old team.

The Hornets are rising stars in the West.This season, the league has deliberately arranged for two consecutive games between the Hornets and the Spurs. That is to say, the Spurs are now playing against the Hornets at home, and then the two teams will play another game.

However, the next game will be the Hornets at home.

After the jump ball started, Parker of the Spurs had the ball in half court, and the first offense began.Zhong Yu is now defending against Finley, and knowing that he is going to face Zhong Yu again, Finley's expression is not very good.

On the first ball, Parker passed to the inside and passed to Duncan.

Duncan used his excellent skills to get the first two points of the game with a jumper on the board.

Then, the Hornets players started to attack.The Spurs immediately set up their own defensive lineup. Obviously, they used the oppressive defense they have always used to deal with the Hornets today.

The Spurs' oppressive defense is well-known in the league. This is a team with a relatively balanced offense and defense.They used a full-court oppressive defense against the Hornets' pick-and-roll situation.

Paul and Zhong Yu came up with a pick-and-roll cooperation, Paul went inside, West received a pass from Paul, missed a jumper, and converted offense and defense.

The basketball came into the hands of Duncan again. Duncan was double-teamed by the Hornets. The basketball was immediately passed to Bowen, who ran out of the outside line. Bowen didn't have a jumper, and the ball returned to the Hornets.

Paul passed the basketball to Zhong Yu, and then, West came up to pick and roll, and Zhong Yu went all the way to the inside. However, when Zhong Yu came to a place not far from the depth, he put away the basketball, and then was oppressed by Duncan. The defense was a little tight and he couldn't make a shot, so he had to pass the basketball out of the perimeter.

Paul made a jumper from the outside and hit a three-pointer.

Then, the Spurs adopted the high-position pick-and-roll tactics with Paco and Duncan. The Hornets used their own pick-and-rolls well, but they were not very good at defending the opponent's pick-and-rolls.

He just set a pick-and-roll for Parker in the high post, and then immediately ran to the inside, and then Parker started to enter the inside.The Hornets used to defend Parker, and he passed the basketball to Duncan. Duncan made a turn inside, and after a turn, he shot a jumper, which was still a fairly accurate shot on the board.

Although Duncan's rebounding shots are so rigid that many people hate them, but his rebounding shots are capable and can hit very stably.

This is ability.

The ball returned to the hands of the Hornets again, and then returned to Zhong Yu's hands.Zhong Yu started to break through with the ball, and now with the addition of the first superposition effect in the third area, Zhong Yu's breakthrough is also more handy. After breaking through Finley, he directly entered the inside line.

However, just as he came to the inside, the Spurs immediately changed their formation and blocked his way forward. If Zhong Yu continued to go deep, he would only be caught in the Spurs' inside double-team.

Zhong Yu made a quick decision, and after dribbling the ball under his crotch, he immediately retreated to [-] feet and shot a jumper.

With a two-pointer, Zhong Yu scored the first two-pointer of the game.

The game between the two teams is carried out in such a situation.

The Spurs use their own tactic with Duncan as the core, and other three-point shooters run out of the open space, waiting for Duncan to find an opportunity to pass the ball to them. In addition, there are high pick-and-roll tactics, or Duncan's singles tactics, and mixed Use... against the Hornets' solid pitch defense.

The Spurs' offensive efficiency is very high, they are like a tireless machine, and every player is a screw in this machine.

In this way, the machine works normally.

The offensive tactics of the Hornets are mainly the cooperation between players, Paul's breakthrough, and the running of other players to open up the open space. Paul can pass the ball to West and Zhong Yu to score jump shots, and he can also plug the ball inside.In addition, Zhong Yu broke through and scored by himself, and Zhong Yu scored after breaking through... These are the offensive tactics of the Hornets.

The two teams used quite targeted offense and defense to compete with their opponents time and time again.

The fans still had a great time watching this game. Players from both sides played quite well.

However, Zhong Yu felt something was wrong today. The Spurs' defense against him made him feel a sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis made him feel that the Spurs had a tactic specifically for him.

He could barely get under the rim to score.

Maybe he can use his speed and his breakthrough skills to get inside the free throw line.However, he had no choice after that, and the Spurs would always find various ways to make it difficult for him to make shots, and the percentage of forced shots was not high.

In this way, Zhong Yu was kicked out of the inside and could only rely more on his mid-range shots and jump shots outside the three-point line.However, in that way, Zhong Yu also received a lot of double-teaming, and his shooting percentage was not too high. Moreover, the help to the team was completely reduced to the scoring level.

Things are a little off.
