runaway point guard

Chapter 330 Two pairs of broken pistons

The first half of the game was a bit of a failure for the Pistons.

At the very beginning, the measures taken against Zhong Yu were very effective. He only scored 6 points in a single quarter, but in the second quarter, he didn't score many points, but one of them was a violent dunk.

And he led the Hornets to start a counterattack with 3 assists in a single quarter, overtaking the score.

Crucially, the Pistons intend to regain some of their confidence here.

This quarter has just begun, and the ball came to Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu is the target that the Pistons need to focus on, but in view of the situation in the second quarter, they also need to guard against the rest of the Hornets.

In this way, Zhong Yu pulled out the space.

From the second minute of this quarter, Zhong Yu started scoring.

At 31 minutes and [-] seconds, Zhong Yu came out from near the bottom line. West helped him block Hamilton who was chasing wildly behind him. Taking advantage of this time, he received a pass from Paco and stopped abruptly. Corner completed a two-point shot.

hit!

Four minutes and five seconds later, Zhong Yu was outside the three-point line, holding the ball and pretending to make a breakthrough. He stopped and changed hands after holding the ball under his crotch, lifted the basketball with his left hand, and shot a jump shot directly.

Outside the three-point line, Zhong Yu's hands fell like knives.

With an elegant arc, the basketball plunged into the net flowers. After that, Zhong Yu raised his right hand high and did not intend to put it down for the time being.

In the eyes of the Pistons players, this leftist was a bit pretentious and underwhelmed, but his three-pointer hit proved that there was another problem with their defense.

Zhong Yu's shooting speed was particularly astonishing. Once the strength of the opponent's defense weakened, his opportunity appeared.

"This won't work!" Pistons head coach Saunders paced back and forth in a panic, looking more and more difficult to defend Zhong Yu.

Whether it is Fang Zhongyu or other players of the Hornets, Sanders is facing a very important choice.

In the 5th minute, Sanders called a timeout.

"Next, we use a mixed defense to cancel the special double-team on Zhong Yu, but Richard (Hamilton), you have to use a man-to-man approach to try to keep Zhong Yu from receiving the pass. For the other Hornets players Defensively, man-to-man, pushing them to the perimeter for jumpers."

Sanders intends to indulge Zhong Yu a little bit, but Hamilton survived in a place like the Pistons. Although he was not the most smoky bad boy team in those years, the behavior of the team's predecessors, which has been heard and seen, made Hamilton's defense Also with a unique piston style.

This guy can take a rogue defense against Jong-wook.

Of course, whether Zhong Yu can really be prevented is another matter.

The game continued, and Zhong Yu found that the defensive pressure on himself had been reduced a lot.It seems that the Pistons can't ignore the rest of the Hornets.

In this way, Zhong Yu will not be polite!

For the first ball, although Hamilton came up to interfere and made a lot of small moves, after Zhong Yu received the ball, he controlled the ball to an angle that the referee could see, and Hamilton had no choice but to stop his small moves.

Then, Zhong Yu raised his left shoulder, and the whole person has accelerated from Hamilton's left to the inside line. Hamilton stretched out his left hand to increase obstacles for Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu frowned, and changed direction through a crotch, and put the basketball to the left.

Sure enough, Hamilton was fooled, turned his body, Zhong Yu accelerated again, the basketball reached the right side, Hamilton was shaken by Zhong Yu's ball, and almost squatted on the ground.

Zhong Yu increased his speed to the maximum speed, and Wallace, who was in charge of that area of ​​the Pistons, came up to defend. Zhong Yu had already thrown the basketball high in advance, bounced it on the backboard, and then fell into the net at a very strange angle. middle.

"Good shot!" The audience praised in unison, Hamilton finally stood up, recalled Zhong Yu's breakthrough just now, and involuntarily glanced at Iverson.

Iverson also took a look at Zhong Yu's side... The ball just now really has his own style... However, it seems that even if he is himself, he can't reach Zhong Yu's speed.

This guy is indescribably fast.

The Pistons started to attack, and the Hornets, as always, adopted a mixed defense, blocking from the perimeter.Iverson also seemed to have a CROSSOVER because he saw Zhong Yu's ball just now, and his heart was itchy.

But his jumper missed, the rebound was caught by the Hornets, and he immediately launched a counterattack.

Zhong Yu received the pass and became the initiator of the attack.

Zhong Yu's speed started, which really made the Pistons' defense at a loss, and he broke through a big hole.Zhong Yu directly controlled the ball and drilled to the deepest part of the inside line. Several players of the Pistons locked him in this corner, but Zhong Yu passed his basketball from behind. Thomas behind him received the pass. The defensive attention was not on him either, and at the moment, he roared and smashed the buckle in the wind!

"Boom!"

The veteran's dunk also detonated the audience.

The booming sound continued to echo, and then the Pistons made an offensive hit, and the ball returned to the Hornets.

Paco made a layup after a breakthrough.

The situation is getting brighter, and the Pistons' defense is being crushed.

Then, Zhong Yu cooperated with West on a pick-and-roll outside the three-point line, and then passed the basketball back. West received the pass and made a fallback jumper.

"Scratch!" The basketball rubbed the net and entered the basket, and the Hornets scored another two points.

The Pistons intend to let Hamilton defend Zhong Yu desperately, but Hamilton is obviously not Zhong Yu's opponent. Although Zhong Yu did not say that he has no pressure, Zhong Yu has many scoring methods.

Turn over and lean back, break through for a layup, turn around and make a jump shot...

Zhong Yu constantly demonstrated his various scoring abilities in front of Hamilton's eyes.

However, he also scored 3 assists in this quarter!
这样，第三节的比赛结束，双方的比分变成67-58，黄蜂队已经领先对手9分！钟郁单节砍下11分2个篮板和3个助攻。

After three quarters, he has scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists!

"In the third quarter, the Pistons made a tactical mistake!" Su Qun said, "We just used Hamilton to defend Zhong Yu, stretching his scoring ability and allowing him to pass the ball calmly."

"It's just, otherwise, the Hornets can pass the basketball alive when Zhong Yu is double-teamed." Yu Jia said: "In short, this is a bad choice."

Su Qun pondered for a while: "Perhaps we can always use that method to exhaust Zhong Yu's physical strength... Then, the Hornets' offense will come to a stalemate!"

…………

What Su Qun said only existed in theory. Zhong Yu had also practiced in the NBA for so long, and he had his own experience in preserving and utilizing physical strength. He knew what to do.

It is impossible to let the opponent play without strength so quickly.

The most important thing is that the Hornets still have scoring points like West, Paco, and Thomas, who can share the scoring pressure for Zhong Yu. Otherwise, if the Pistons insist on double-teaming Zhong Yu, the Hornets will be doomed!
The tactics in this last quarter are really not a good choice for the Pistons.

In the end, they decided to still double-team Zhong Yu, while taking into account the defensive measures of other members of the Hornets.

This kind of defense seems to be comprehensive, but in fact it is very likely to become full of loopholes, and instead be beaten out of breath by the opponent.

The next game verified this.

First of all, Zhong Yu was double-teamed, and they also paid attention to cutting off Zhong Yu's defensive line.

But it was impossible for them to seal off Zhong Yu's surroundings. Zhong Yu could even spot the players around him as long as he jumped into the air.At the same time, such double-teaming can easily cause artificial fouls like Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu's ability to make fouls is getting stronger and stronger now, and the opponent may be fouled by him if he gets his hairs on, not to mention this kind of double-teaming situation.

In the last quarter, there are 3 minutes left in the time!

The Hornets are in control of the ball. As soon as Zhong Yu received the pass, Prince and Hamilton double-teamed.

Zhong Yu forcibly took off and shot in the sky. Prince was tragically fouled by Zhong Yu!And it was his fifth personal foul, which was already quite dangerous.

Zhong Yu stood on the free throw line, and he grasped the three free throws very well. He made all three free throws, and he turned the score into: 93-80, the Hornets led the Pistons by 13 points!
There are only the last 3 minutes left, and the Pistons are gone!
The Hornets stabilized the line in the last 3 minutes and pushed the Pistons to a dead end. In the end, the two sides ended the game with a score of 101-93.

The Hornets defeated their opponents at home and temporarily stabilized the second place in the Western Conference.

In this game, Zhong Yu scored 11 points in the third quarter and 12 points in the fourth quarter. He scored a total of 36 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds, as well as 2 steals and 1 rebound. block!
Quasi-triple-double!
Zhong Yu set a new record for the number of assists in his career, and also scored his first double-double in his career.

The Hornets also used this game to stabilize their record and stabilized in the second place in the Western Conference.The Spurs are temporarily unable to catch up with the Hornets.

The crisis is finally over.

At the same time, Zhong Yu's performance also answered many people who questioned him, and answered many people who questioned the Hornets.

Zhong Yu did it.

But in this game, Zhong Yu played 40 minutes, his body was almost exhausted, and after the whole game, he was covered in sweat.

This is also a price.

Zhong Yu won a quasi-triple double and defeated the Pistons. The audience was already erupting, and the fans were cheering excitedly for this victory.

Zhong Yu finally defeated the Pistons in the midst of everyone's attention.

With 10 assists, Zhong Yu got the first double-double in his career. Being able to win a double-double is also an affirmation of his strength as a shooting guard.

The Hornets are also about to face brighter prospects.

As soon as the game ended, the official NBA website couldn't wait to put the game on the headlines.

[Zhong Yu scored a quasi-triple-double to break the enemy, and the Hornets' record remains stable]

This article exaggerates Zhong Yu to a point where it is difficult to add more. Although this makes Zhong Yu fans feel at ease, at the same time, it also puts Zhong Yu under greater pressure.

Because the Hornets still have a lot of opponents...
