runaway point guard

Chapter 306 Continuing to Maintain the Advantage
The score at the end of the first half greatly satisfied the imagination of Hornets fans.

At the beginning of this game, although many people came to the scene, many of them did not have much hope for the Hornets——

This season, the Hornets just lost Paul. Without Paul, the Hornets suddenly suffered a three-game losing streak including the loss to the Trail Blazers.

During this three-game losing streak, some of the Hornets' high hopes, including Zhong Yu and West, did not really lead the Hornets out of the haze at this time, but instead plunged the team into some deeper abyss among.

It is conceivable that in this game, many people will be pessimistic about the future of the Hornets because of these reasons.In fact, the Cavaliers have a very good record this season. Under the leadership of James, they have achieved quite good results. It is estimated that they will not have too many problems against the Hornets who are currently short of major generals.

However, shortly after the start of the game, the Hornets had gradually grasped the opportunity of the game. By the end of the first half, the Hornets had already taken a [-]-point lead over their opponents.

Throughout the first half of the game, the Hornets were still a little out of shape at the beginning. They may not have come out of the haze of the two-game losing streak, and there may still be some unspeakable obstacles.

However, after that, Zhong Yu began to call back the soul of the Hornets.He blocked James, dunked himself, and hit a jumper.

The situation between the two teams has reversed.

The game continued, and the Hornets seized their own opportunities during this reversal.They scored more and more points, and the situation became more and more stable.

Therefore, the 10-point lead at the end of the first half can be said to be a matter of course.

Among them, Zhong Yu was the biggest contributor to this game until the end of the first half.

He first brought back the morale of the Hornets with dunks and blocked shots, and then he led the Hornets to a firm foothold.

At the end of the first half, Zhong Yu scored 27 points. This score is quite high, and it is very close to his highest score in half a game.

James of the Cavaliers scored a total of 14 points and 5 assists at the end of the first half. James and Zhong Yu have different styles of play. Zhong Yu can be said to be one of the better shooting guards in the league today. , a relatively pure one, who concentrates on the work of a shooting guard.

But James is different. James is not pure. He can be said to be a swingman who can serve as a point guard... His height can even play from a point guard to a center. The two are not the same style.

However, at the end of the first half, Zhong Yu had the upper hand temporarily.

As soon as he walked in and sat down in the locker room, Scott walked up with a tactical board, and said: "Guys, you did a good job just now, everyone work harder! Let the Cavaliers lose a game at our home court. One game, that way, we can get back to No. [-] in the Western Conference and No. [-] in the league.”

This sentence, everyone heard it in their ears, and gradually expressed it.

If it is said that what the head coach said is usually not seen by the players, then the situation is completely different now. Indeed, the Hornets played very well.In the first half of the game, they did a good job. If they can maintain it and let the Cavaliers hate the New Orleans Arena, this is quite a good thing for them.

"Next! Let me talk about the tactical arrangement." Scott held the tactical board, and then said: "Generally speaking, we still need to use Zhong Yu's breakthrough to divide the ball, assist teammates to score, or score directly by ourselves. In addition , David West needs to find open space as much as possible, cooperate with Zhong Yu's breakthrough, and complete the pick-and-roll..."

After a series of words, they mainly talked about a team tightly united around Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu still needs his own breakthrough points... This is also necessary. Zhong Yu's breakthrough points have become one of the most important scoring methods for the Hornets. As long as they are carried out unswervingly, the Hornets will win. It increased a lot.

Of course, this requires Zhong Yu to expend his physical strength to complete it, but it doesn't matter, his physical exertion is also something that he is gradually familiar with.

In this game, he made up his mind to win the Cavaliers, not only to justify the name of the Hornets, but also to prove himself.

He wants to prove that even without Paul, the Hornets are still a name that makes other teams fearful.Even without Paul, he can lead the Hornets. I dare not say how much glory the Hornets will get, but at least it is more than people imagined.

…………

The second half of the game has begun!

Entering the second half with a 10-point gap, the Cavaliers are also a little anxious now.They are anxious whether they will let the Hornets on their own, and temporarily wash away the humiliation of the previous three-game losing streak.

Therefore, in the locker room, although James did not lose his temper, he also said a lot of words of encouragement to his teammates, hoping that they could kill the Hornets in one go in the second half——

Otherwise, what's going on?Other teams came up to make a lot of money when the Hornets didn't have Paul. Why can't the Cavaliers, who have a new look this season, still can't beat them?
Thinking of this, James' playing style is becoming more and more domineering.

With the first ball, he forcibly broke through the Hornets' defense, faced up to the difficulties in the crowd, and abruptly used his strong physical fitness and excellent bounce to throw the basketball into the basket.

James relied on a layup to score two points and sounded the horn for the second half of the game.

The ball returned to the Hornets. Paco took control of the ball and passed the basketball to Zhong Yu after half court. Zhong Yu forced his way in from James' side.West stood beside Zhong Yu and blocked James, but when Zhong Yu wanted to go further, the big Z on the inside came up to defend, Zhong Yu put away the basketball for a while, and then kicked his legs forward, the whole person Fall to the ground again!
"Little jump!" Most of the Cavaliers team made a judgment on Zhong Yu's action!It is determined that Zhong Yu will use a layup to end the offense after the small jump steps back to the ground and stands firm.

But Zhong Yu unexpectedly, when the group caught his attention by his jump, he threw the basketball high into the sky!

"Oops!" Many players of the Cavaliers wanted to retreat and it was too late. West just entered the inside line like the wind. The basketball slammed into the basket heavily!
West and Zhong Yu completed an alley-oop cooperation, and the Hornets scored 3 points.

"Good job!" West came over with a smile on his face, jumped up with Zhong Yu at the same time, and hit his chest hard in the sky. This ball is worth their effort.

"Although, it doesn't seem to be as comfortable as Chris passing...but it's definitely a good pass." West said.

Zhong Yu chuckled, his passing was of course far worse than Paul's.

The offense and defense were converted, and the ball returned to the hands of the Cavaliers.James took possession of the ball directly across the half court, then stood beyond the three-point line, controlled the ball with his right hand, looked at Peja all over the place, and judged where Peja's defense might make mistakes.

James then used a change of direction and went straight to the Hornets inside, finishing the drive with a difficult one-handed shot before the inside player came up to block him.

The ball has returned to the Hornets, and Zhong Yu attaches great importance to the success or failure of the ball.

After all, now the two sides have entered a state where you score one point and I score one point. Once the Hornets players are the first to show their timidity, what awaits them is the subsequent surge in the morale of the Cavaliers. Under the climax of scoring, the Hornets' rising momentum in this game has been reduced.

The ball came to Zhong Yu's hands, and he was still in control of the ball.

However, this time his shot was relatively simple and rough. He used a quick ball-handling move, moved to a 45-degree angle, then put away the basketball, and moved to his right again!Immediately afterwards, he quickly balanced his body, with his left hand pointing forehand and his right hand exerting strength, the basketball was pushed out by Zhong Yu directly.

"Bang! Swish!" The basketball hit the backboard, and then shot fiercely into the net flower. Soon, the Hornets scored another three points after Zhong Yu's score.

Zhong Yu made another three-pointer, and the total score of this game has risen to 30 points!It is very likely that he will create a record that has never been seen today.

At this time, Zhong Yu can be said to have gone crazy!
Today's team situation, he must stand up.

Whether it's because of himself or the team, he must stand up and use crazy scoring and breakthroughs to attract double-teams to help the Hornets withstand the Cavaliers' offense and win a difficult victory.

The current Hornets are on the cusp of public opinion, and they really need a victory too much.

Then, the Cavaliers finally miss a jumper, the Hornets grab the rebound, miss it, grab the rebound and go for a second attack...and miss!

The Cavaliers also missed the shot!
Five minutes after the start of the second half, the score between the two sides became 5:56. The Hornets still led the Cavaliers by 47 points.

The most strange thing is that the two teams that were blooming continuously before, their jump shot percentages are getting lower and lower, lower and lower, so low that it is indescribable.

Seeing this hit rate, Scott frowned and called out a timeout.Although the shooting percentages of both sides are not too high now, they also need to adjust, otherwise the situation will be different when the Cavaliers adjust first.

As soon as he returned to the bench, Zhong Yu was wiping away his sweat. However, during the blacksmithing time just now, he seized the time to get some rest.The current Zhong Yu is not only able to seize a little bit of time to rest on the bench, even on the court, he can also take advantage of the gap between offense and defense to rest.

However, even so, he was still sweating profusely.
