runaway point guard

Chapter 284 Unsealed more areas of Zhong Yu
In the past games, Zhong Yu had already obtained enough points, and used these points to unblock many areas.

In the first area, the superposition effect has not yet appeared. In the second area, he has now completed the superposition of the assist effect in this area. In the third area, he has completed the superposition of the defensive effect. Here, if the opponent wants to shoot Three-pointers are often difficult to avoid Zhong Yu's defense.

In the fourth area, Zhong Yu has already superimposed the first superposition effect, that is to say, he has obtained enough breakthrough ability here.

And Zhong Yu has also unsealed his own sixth area.

The position of the sixth area is not too critical. For Zhong Yu, the most important thing in this area is that he has unlocked the other half of the area within his three-point line. After that, he will gradually unlock all these areas. Feng, in these areas, Zhong Yu is gradually able to acquire all-round scoring ability.

Moreover, after the gradual unblocking of so many areas, Zhong Yu's physical fitness has also undergone improvement time and time again.First of all, his speed is faster than before. Even without the superimposed effect, his speed is already top-notch.Secondly, Zhong Yu's power is more abundant than before.

This is reflected in the offense, he can always pass the opponent with absolute speed when the opponent can't react in time, and then, at the moment of dunking, his strength will explode instantly!

Then, there was a powerful dunk.

In addition, his body coordination, flexibility and many other physical qualities have also increased significantly as more and more areas are unblocked.

This is Zhong Yu's ability now.

competition is over!

The score of the two sides is 29:23, the Hornets lead the Magic by 6 points and enter the second quarter!This game, before the start, basically everyone's prediction is that the Hornets can beat the Magic, but the process of defeating the Magic may not be that simple. From now on, the Magic are in the first half of the first quarter. , A crazy explosion outside the three-point line gave the Hornets a wave of scoring climax.

But after that, they were not so lucky.

The counterattack launched by the Hornets made the Magic feel at a loss.

"We did a good job in the first quarter!" Scott shook his arm, and then said: "I have already said the importance of this game... This is the first time our team has participated. Whether we can perform well in the Christmas game depends on us! It depends on everyone and the hope of basketball in this city. In the second quarter, guys, keep working hard."

Zhong Yu chatted with Paul for a while: "The Magic's three-point shooters...look pretty good."

Paul took a sip of Gatorade, nodded and said: "It's really good, but our Hornets also have our own shooters, and we have enough ability to launch our own counterattack."

Zhong Yu nodded. The current situation of the Hornets and Magic is completely different.The Hornets now basically put the focus of offense in the hands of Zhong Yu, and most of the focus of offense is on the outside.However, the center of gravity of the Hornets' outside offense is at the position of shooting guard, which is not the same as the shooters of the Magic.

After all, the Hornets are much stronger than the Magic in the first and second positions.

The head coach of the Magic is Stan Van Gundy. This person hopes to find a way to balance offense and defense, and he is also trying hard.However, there is a problem with the Magic right now - if there is a chance to score, whether it is Nelson, Turkoglu, or Lewis... they will wait eagerly on the outside.

However, they often give up on work like defense...

Especially Nelson, the guy at point guard who always wants to work at shooting guard and small forward.Now, Van Gundy is also angry when he sees that the Magic only went through a short period of prosperity in the first quarter, and then the outside line was riddled with holes by Zhong Yu, and shouted: "Guys! What kind of game do you think you are playing?" I have to say, we are now in the Christmas game! Basketball fans all over the world are focusing on us... But what kind of situation are they waiting for now? The outside line was blown up by that Chinese kid... This is impossible!"

The words "I was blown up by Zhong Yu from the outside line" got into the ears of the players of the Magic team, and it was not so comfortable.

This is a matter of the dignity of a team, and they are also dignified people... Suddenly, the eyes of this group of people gradually burst into flames of anger.

Seeing this, Van Gundy knew it was time to move on.

He continued: "So, our main task next is to defend against the Hornets' offense... and at the same time look for opportunities to play a defensive counterattack. Zhong Yu is a very key figure, and we need to double-team him..."

The tone of the Magic team gradually settled down, and the game in the second quarter officially started.

The Hornets' bench, placed in the league, may not be considered top-notch, but it is still very good.

Facing the Magic's substitute, the Hornets played neither humble nor overbearing.Now the most important point of the Hornets' bench is to play very steadily, to transform offense and defense, to be precise, and to be full of skill.

The Magic's substitutes have weaker firepower, and under the Hornets' defense, their firepower is even weaker.

"Crack!" The Magic players from the perimeter broke through and were caught by Evans with a cap. Then, the Hornets started to counterattack. Paco passed the ball to Ariza. Ariza finally had a flash of inspiration this time and scored a three-pointer. The ball hits the jump shot!
The Hornets scored another two points!
This is just a microcosm of the beginning of the second quarter. The Hornets faced the Magic and successfully played a lot of defensive counterattacks. The Magic were miserable.

Seeing this situation, Van Gundy could only immediately deploy his main lineup, and it was time for the Magic's main lineup to play again.

"Just do it! Beat these arrogant Orlandians!" The audience shouted loudly, and where many family groups were, children were also desperately cheering and cheering for the Hornets.Now, the score between the two sides has become 37:28, and the Hornets lead their opponents by nine points.

Then, the main lineups of the two sides re-entered the battle and collided again.

For the first ball, Paul handed the basketball to Zhong Yu.

As soon as Zhong Yu received the pass, Turkoglu came up, and now it's not Bogans defending himself, Zhong Yu felt a little strange-could he plan to use Bogans to defend Peja?Are you kidding me?

Zhong Yu planned to pass the basketball to Peja, but at this time Bogans floated over, Zhong Yu had to put away the basketball, and Bogans and Turkoglu began to stand beside him, taking care of Peja, it seems that the Magic are ready to focus on themselves.

Zhong Yu made a fake move to pass the ball to Peja, but actually passed the basketball to Paul. Zhong Yu pulled two people over, which made it easy for Paul to break through Nelson under West's pick-and-roll. In the paint, Howard didn't have much use for his defense...he made an easy layup and scored two points.

The Hornets' double guns are like this. When one is pressed down, the other can pop up. It is extremely difficult to defend against.

The Magic are again facing the dilemma of being unable to defend the Hornets' perimeter. On the next ball, they missed a three-pointer from the perimeter and the ball returned to the Hornets.Paul handed the ball to Zhong Yu, sure enough, two sluts came up to defend again, Zhong Yu passed the basketball to Peja, Peja missed a three-pointer, and the two teams rushed to grab the rebound , Chandler took the lead and passed it back to Zhong Yu.

"Shua!" Zhong Yu hit a three-point jumper and scored another three-pointer.

After returning from the timeout, the Hornets played a wave of 5-0 attacks, and the score gap was widened to 14 points by the Hornets!It has reached double digits, and the Magic have no way to relax.

In the next few collisions, Zhong Yu was still affected by the double-team after all. Under the double-team, even a super fierce man like Jordan had to reduce the number of shots, otherwise his success rate of shots would not be high.

Zhong Yu also reduced the number of shots he took and passed the basketball to his teammates more.

Therefore, Van Gundy found that although the method of double-teaming Zhong Yu was adopted, the combat effectiveness of the Hornets had not weakened too much, because Zhong Yu's passing was also very capable, and he was able to find the most suitable angle and strength to pass the ball to himself. teammates, let teammates score...

"What a disgusting person." Van Gundy defined Zhong Yu in his heart, but he had no choice but to adjust his tactics to contain the Hornets' attack.

The Magic began to shrink the defense and shorten the defensive front, using this method to reduce the possibility of missing people and reduce the damage to their defense caused by the Hornets' passing.

Whether this method works or not, in fact, Van Gundy himself is not very clear.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and Van Gundy can only test whether his arrangement is correct in practice.However, the facts quickly gave him a blow in the head - after shrinking the defense, Zhong Yu's defensive distance was also widened. From the outside, he took a step sideways with the ball, moved directly to the top of the three-point line, and then shot a jumper!

The two players did not stop him, and Zhong Yu hit a jumper, giving the Hornets another three points.

Sure enough, the method of shrinking the defensive distance will also cause certain loopholes.

This section of the game came to an end with a whistle.Van Gundy did make a lot of efforts for the team's victory, but, as we all know, his efforts did not achieve enough results.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two sides was 54:39 ​​leading the Magic.

The point difference is 15 points!The Hornets have led by 15 points!
They are as strong as ever.

"The Hornets lead the Magic by 15 points at halftime! The Magic are overwhelmed."

This is the end of halftime, the NBA official website, the description of this Christmas game.Indeed, the current results of the current Hornets and Magic are somewhat different from what many people imagined—although most people also believe that in front of the currently quite strong Hornets, the Magic may have to swallow the loss in the Christmas game .However, everyone also feels that the Hornets may barely beat this strong team at the last moment after a hard fight.

However, the current situation is that the Hornets have already led their opponents by 15 points without any hard work.With 15 points in the half, it is impossible for the Hornets to give their opponents a chance to reverse.

------

"Zhong Yu, at the end of the first half, you have scored 16 points. Why do you think you can lead the Magic by 15 points so quickly?" The reporters blocked Zhong Yu in the locker room and asked impatiently. question.

Of course, Zhong Yu couldn't refuse, and said, "This may be because Santa Claus stood by our side today and gave us presents..."

"So, judging from the strength of the two teams? Dwight Howard scored a total of 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 7 points in these two quarters. What does the Hornets' current lead have to do with him? Does it matter?"

These reporters seem to want to stir up conflicts and create topics, but they have bad intentions... Zhong Yu pondered for a while and said: "I think Dwight is a very good player. He can control the game on the court. Including today, he He also tried his best. He has done enough for the team. Now the game is only halftime, and the real result is still unpredictable. I think we can save some issues to talk about after the game is actually over, which will be more meaningful. "

Hearing Zhong Yu say this, the reporters disappeared after asking a few questions... They also knew that they shouldn't be able to ask too many questions about Zhong Yu... This guy, his performance on the court, It may give people the feeling of being ostentatious, but he is actually very cautious. When talking to reporters, his cautiousness is obviously more than that of some of his peers.

The auditorium is now completely immersed in a happy discussion.

After the cheerleading dance had just come to an end, the Hornets arranged some small programs for the audience. Now, several Santa Clauses wearing Santa hats ran out, doing various difficult moves in the basketball court , and also distributed some small gifts to the fans.

"Next!" A Santa Claus stood in the middle of the field, holding a microphone and shouted: "The present we give to everyone! It's a star card signed by Zhong Yu himself!"

This star card is made by the Hornets themselves. There is a small set, all of which are his cards, including his life photos, photos on the court, and some posed promotional photos.

There are 5 in total, which may be related to his No. 5. There is Zhong Yu's autograph on the box, and then, the lucky draw begins!

"Give it to me! Give him to me!" The fans shouted frantically, especially Zhong Yu's fans, who desperately wanted to grab what they thought belonged to them.

The atmosphere in the arena reached a climax in an instant.

In the Christmas game, the Hornets really did a good job.

Under such circumstances, the second half of the Hornets' game is about to begin.The Hornets won the opponent by 15 points in the first half. Now, they need a stronger performance to maintain their lead and defeat their opponents.
