runaway point guard

Chapter 3
After three shots and three hits, the way everyone looked at Zhong Yu changed a lot.

This is the United States dominated by pragmatism. All impressions of a person may change completely in an instant.

The previous Zhong Yu was thrown out of the blue by everyone, and now they are slightly cheering for the Zhong Yu who hit three out of three shots.

Mike James came to Zhong Yu and stretched out his right hand.

Zhong Yu took a look at him, stretched out his right hand a little unexpectedly, held him tightly, and then stood up.

All in all, since coming to the Hornets, this is a rare time to find a sense of presence.

"Dude... well done!" Veteran Mike James smiled at Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu also nodded towards him, the feeling of hitting three balls lingered in his heart.

The referee gave Zhong Yu an extra penalty, so he stood on the free throw line.Taking a deep breath, it was his fifth free throw since entering the NBA, making three of his first four.

After maybe two seconds, he slowly lifted the basketball over his head, and a push force came from his toes and spread to his hands.

The middle finger acts as the main force finger, pushing gently.

"Shua!" The basketball spun and fell into the basket precisely.

Zhong Yu successfully scored two plus one, the score became 25:31, and the Hornets were still six points behind.

Tony Allen's eyes were full of people wanting to eat people, but Zhong Yu almost ignored him.Of course, Tony Allen's defense became more and more severe after that, which made it almost impossible for Zhong Yu to make any shots.

The time has advanced to the 6th minute of the second quarter. After a whistle, the Hornets called a timeout.

Zhong Yu followed everyone off the basketball court. So far, he has played a total of 6.3 minutes, made three shots and scored seven points.In addition, he picked up a rebound himself.As a result, his technical statistics became 7 points and 7 rebound.

This was the highest score in his NBA career. Before returning to the bench, Scott suddenly walked over and patted Zhong Yu on the shoulder: "Young man, you did a good job."

"Thank you." The feeling of being recognized appeared in his heart. This was the first time he saw a true trust in the eyes of the head coach.

He sat on the bench. In fact, he also knew that he should have nothing to do later.Paul on the side is arranging his shorts, and it can be predicted that he will play soon.With Paul, the Hornets don't seem to have to worry about anything, the sky is falling, and Paul.

Although he is only 22 years old, he has become the backbone of this team.

Watching Paul walk on the court, the lights dyed his back black, Zhong Yu yearned for it, how much glory is the backbone of a team, the superstar of the league?

He lightly touched the blood-stained cuneiform on his left shoulder.

------

After Paul came on the court, the Hornets' offense improved a lot. After a series of pick-and-rolls, in the last second before the end of the first half, the rejuvenated shooter Peja hit a three-pointer on the right wing of the three-point line. Tied the score.

The first half of the game ended like this. Zhong Yu's performance of seven points in just one minute was remarkable.

Usually Zhong Yu is the insulator in the team. Everyone is polite to him, but politeness is often another aspect of alienation. There are really not many people in the team who can get along with him.

But today, several people greeted him, and Mike James patted him on the shoulder.

To be honest, Zhong Yu gave him three assists at once, which is not bad for a veteran like him.

The second half of the game continued. The Celtics were extremely tough this season. Although Pierce, Garnett, and Ray Allen are often laughed at as the three old men, everyone knows that this team is quite good.

So, at the 9th minute of the third quarter, the Hornets fell behind by 12 points. The Hornets seemed to have made a lot of efforts, but they were not of much use.

Paul and David West had a pick-and-roll cooperation. After he slipped inside, he passed the basketball to a distance of [-] feet within the three-point line. However, West, a [-]-foot assassin, At this time, he missed the shot.

The basketball hit the rim, bounced high, was snatched away by Garnett of the Celtics, and another fast break was completed.

The score expanded to 14 points.

The Hornets requested a timeout, and now it seems that there is still a gap between them and the Celtics in terms of strength.

Byron Scott frowned and pondered for a while, then he suddenly said: "Zhong Yu, you are ready to play."

"Me?" Zhong Yu was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect to be taken care of by Scott suddenly.Before he almost risked his life for so little playing time, now, happiness comes quickly and a little bit unreal.

"Yes, hurry up and prepare." Scott and Zhong Yu said at the fastest speed: "Your task is to run out of the open space, find your shooting feeling just now, and make Chris Paul's pass accurate. Direction, do you understand?"

Indeed, the current shooting percentage of the Hornets is not very high, which made Scott think of Zhong Yu who suddenly made three three-pointers in the second quarter.

"Yeah." Zhong Yu knew that his chance had come, so he didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and was directly ready to walk on the court.

When the Hornets players re-entered the field, everyone on the sidelines saw Zhong Yu. After a moment of astonishment, there were scattered cheers.

Because everyone suddenly remembered Zhong Yu's precise hits in the second quarter, so they looked forward to it. Maybe in this situation, he can really help the Hornets.

It's just that this is everyone's thinking after all, and maybe Zhong Yu's character just exploded, and now his character has been used up.

In any case, it is now up to us to see what happens next.

The game restarted. Although it has been more than half a year since Zhong Yu joined the Hornets, and this season has also started a long time, but it is really the first time to play with Chris Paul and the others.

Paul glanced at him, and Zhong Yu and him were just nodding acquaintances before, but at this time, he also thought of Zhong Yu who had gone wrong in the second quarter.

The first ball was in the hands of the Hornets. Paul pressed the ball steadily and controlled the ball across the half court. The basketball was as obedient as an elf in his hands.

Then Chandler went to the top of the arc and set a pick-and-roll for Paul, who sprinted inside.

Zhong Yu instinctively felt that he might have a chance, so he moved his legs and started running in front of Ray Allen.
