runaway point guard

Chapter 301 Paul Injured
2009 2 Month 3 Day.

The NBA regular season continues, and today there is a more important game, the Hornets vs. Portland Trail Blazers at home.

The Trail Blazers, ranked seventh in the Western Conference this season.

Also a strong contender for the playoffs.

The Blazers are also a good team. They have one of the best shooting guards in the league: Brandon Roy, and there are some other good players.

Oden, who entered the NBA in the same year as Zhong Yu, canceled his rookie season last year and finally played again this season.

Oden is indeed a good player, of course this is when he is still healthy.

Otherwise, there would not be a nickname like 'Great Emperor'.

This season, Oden also wants to do a big job to heal the wounds that cost him his entire rookie season-he always believes that he should be the best rookie of last season.

In this game, facing the Hornets, the newly promoted teams of the two leagues attracted a lot of attention.

After all, the Hornets have a strong backcourt combination of Zhong Yu + Paul, while the Blazers and Roy are doing better and better.This guy who chose to enter the league only in his senior year, although many people originally thought that he was mediocre, and he couldn't practice well... But the current situation is that Brandon Roy, Zhong Yu, and Kobe Bryant have formed The three super shooting guard lineups in the West!

Brandon Roy, in general, is a very unpredictable person, just like the monkey grandson who suddenly jumped out of a crack in the rock, and suddenly occupied everyone's attention.

He is doing better and better.

The confrontation between Zhong Yu and Roy is still very attractive.

This season, Zhong Yu averaged 37.5 points per game, 4.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and also averaged 1 block per game.As for Brandon Roy, the current data is: 24.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, quite versatile.

Such a collision between two people can indeed attract the attention of many people.

Both teams are youth teams, which can also attract more people's attention.

The game is officially underway.

Zhong Yu and Roy didn't have a formal matchup in the first quarter. Zhong Yu's scoring basically relied on his teammates' pick-and-roll, and then looked for shooting opportunities, and then immediately shot after receiving a pass from Paul.

And Roy, the shots he's looking for are pretty good, too.

In addition, his breakthrough is quite difficult to prevent... In this respect, he and Zhong Yu are somewhat similar - Roy, Kobe, and Zhong Yu are all 198cm tall, and they are all the height of God. In addition, several people They are all all-around inside and outside players who can shoot inside and outside.

Zhong Yu's breakthrough is very difficult to prevent, which is recognized by many players in the league.

Roy's breakthrough is difficult to prevent, Zhong Yu also experienced it personally.This guy's breakthrough and feints are so realistic that sometimes he even thinks that a yawn or a wave of his hand may be a feint.

Zhong Yu sometimes even thinks that Roy is more difficult to guard than Kobe--the key is that he is also a good offensive organizer, always able to keenly spot opportunities for his teammates, and his ability to interpret the court, and his understanding of the team's tactics Strong ability to execute.

This constitutes a perfect Roy. Like Zhong Yu, his physical fitness is not top-notch, but his help to the team is indeed beyond the reach of most players.

This section of the game is over.

Throughout the first quarter, Zhong Yu scored 8 points and 2 assists. In this game, his desire to attack is not too strong.The reason is that he spent a lot of effort defending Roy, defending Roy at the level of 5 points and 2 assists. Although it was not too successful, it finally limited him a bit.

At the end of this quarter, the score of the two teams was 19:18, and the Hornets led the Trail Blazers by one point.

In this game, the Hornets played a little more difficult than usual. The team's Chandler was not there. Although he was healthy most of the time after January, he was temporarily rested due to a foot injury a few days ago. ... Injuries are more serious than tigers, which is something that many NBA players and teams know.

Without Chandler, the Hornets' offense and defense are still somewhat different.

Walking off the court, both Zhong Yu and Roy were sweating profusely.

Roy wiped the sweat off his head, then glanced at the Hornets' bench, thinking to himself—this guy really deserves his reputation, and he needs to spend a lot of time and energy to limit him...

Moreover, I can't prevent the scoring he must.

When Zhong Yu really decided to score, Roy couldn't stop himself.

The game started, and after Chandler was injured, the Hornets had to send their third center, Hilton Armstrong.

It is not a lie that those who win the inside win the world. In this quarter, the Hornets played more difficultly. In the second half of the second quarter, the main force reappeared. Facing a somewhat rotten situation, Zhong Yu could only temporarily give up on himself other ideas, but go all out and start attacking.

Because the Hornets have fallen behind by some points.

A Zhong Yu who is fully fired, the Blazers are not able to completely stop him.

"Hiss!" Roy felt the wind whizzing past his ears. Zhong Yu just used a fake move to make him make a mistake in his judgment, and then drove to his maximum speed.

With this maximum speed, even Roy himself lacks sufficient defensive ability.

At the moment, he could only fly back, intending to stop Zhong Yu.But it was still a step too late, Zhong Yu passed directly beside West, West blocked Roy a little, Zhong Yu had already reached the depth of the basket, and then jumped up high.

"Bang!" The dunk was successful!
Before Greg Oden came back completely, Zhong Yu had already dunked. Originally, Zhong Yu's strength was not outstanding, but he was able to seize the time gap when the inside players had no time to return to defense and complete his own dunk.

This ability to grasp the gap in time is unmatched by many other people.

After a few rounds, Zhong Yu hit another three-pointer from beyond the three-point line!He scored another five points, and the Hornets also re-realized the overtake. This overtake was brought to the end of the first half and continued into the second half.

As soon as the second half started, Zhong Yu felt that something was wrong with Paul.

His expression was unnatural, and he didn't break through anymore. After the third quarter started, Paul chose to shoot from outside the three-point line. Then he didn't stick to the ball like in the past, but passed the ball immediately. out.

"Hey... buddy, what's the matter with you?" Zhong Yu asked a little worriedly.

"It's okay." Paul smiled and said to Zhong Yu, "I'm fine..." But his smile seemed a bit forced.

Zhong Yu wanted to say something, but Paul had already gone back.

In the 3rd minute, Roy hit a three-pointer, closing the gap to 2 points, but then Paul assisted Zhong Yu and hit a three-pointer, and the gap between the two teams became five points again.

Then, the game continued, and in the 6th minute of the third quarter, Paul consecutively caused fouls by Fernandez and Aldridge, with four free throws.

Only then did Zhong Yu heave a sigh of relief—it seemed that Paul should be fine.

Then, he himself became more and more courageous. In the game after the third quarter, he contributed a dunk and a drifting layup after a breakthrough...

With 1 minute and 30 seconds left in this quarter, the ball was once again in the hands of the Hornets. Paul controlled the ball for halftime, but he just came outside the three-point line and ran a few steps. He put down the ball, with a painful expression on his face, covered his abdomen with his hands, and jumped a few steps to relieve it, but it seemed that he was in more and more pain, so he quickly lowered his head and squatted on the ground.

"What's the matter? Chris?" Zhong Yu hurried over, and the Hornets immediately called a timeout—a person like Paul can't go out with a minor injury, and something might really have happened to him.

All the teammates gathered around.

"It's nothing..." Paul wanted to smile to reassure everyone, but the smile was forced, which might have touched the wound again, and he grinned again.

"What's the matter?" Zhong Yu felt anxious when he saw Paul squatting on the ground at this moment. He didn't know that he cared about Paul so much until this moment.

Of course, everyone looked anxious.

Paul is the boss of the Hornets, but he is very approachable, and he likes to joke, 'Everyone loves Chris' This is not some bullshit, but the collective portrayal of New Orleans, and the collective portrayal of the Hornets.

The team doctors came up quickly, asked Paul, and then helped him go.

"The game is up to you..." Paul turned his head and smiled, still with a wry smile, and then walked into the locker room.

"What happened to Chris?"

"What the hell happened?"

"How could this be?" The voices of the fans were chanting, bustling, and this game suddenly became a concern for all Hornets fans.

Zhong Yu stood beside him, feeling inexplicably worried...

Without Paul's Hornets, is that still the Hornets?

Paul's injury suddenly gave all Hornets fans and players a reason to be sad.

Now that the game has arrived, it has suddenly embarked on a different path.For a long time, although Zhong Yu has become the most capable scorer of the Hornets, many of Zhong Yu's points are still initiated by Paul's offense.

Paul is the engine of the Hornets, there is no doubt about it.

The fans were heartbroken and the players were not much better.

The game continued, but, next, the Hornets players seemed a little absent-minded.Paco, the point guard who came off the bench, also started a few solo efforts, but the Hornets' offensive efficiency dropped suddenly.

Zhong Yu himself is one of the most influential people. After Paul went down, he felt that his thoughts were very confused. This was the first time he faced the situation of the team without Paul after the outbreak...

He felt a little bit at a loss, and in the confusion, his offensive efficiency also declined.

I shouldn't know how to describe this feeling, in short, Zhong Yu felt that he didn't know what to say.

After all, in the final analysis, he is only a sophomore... From the national team to the present, there are always people in front of him who can shield him from the wind and rain, even if he can score a lot of points, it's the same...

Many things are waiting for Zhong Yu to experience.
