Chapter 331 The most difficult situation of the Hornets

Defeating the Pistons is nothing in the 82-game regular season schedule.

But this victory finally allowed the Hornets to stabilize their position and temporarily stabilized the second position in the Western Conference.

There are more and more articles praising Zhong Yu.

"New York Times" said when evaluating Zhong Yu's performance - "When Paul was not in the Hornets, Zhong Yu had become the backbone of the team. Even though he is not as tall as David West, he can play his role. Untouchable role. Zhong Yu has become the offensive weapon and offensive initiator of the Hornets...Recently, he has scored double-doubles and quasi-triple-doubles. After a short period of downturn, the Hornets may rise again. Wait until Chris Paul Come back, this team will shine like a league-wide star."

…………

The prospects for the Hornets are bright, but the road is tortuous.

They need to overcome many difficulties.

Before Paul returns, this difficulty may be magnified infinitely.

After defeating the Pistons, the Hornets met the Kings of the Western Conference and easily abused them. Zhong Yu scored 27 points and 9 assists. This kid seems to be addicted to assists.

Because the game was fairly easy to win, Zhong Yu didn't play much time, and his score didn't even exceed 27 points.

But it was worth it, because he regained some of his strength.

After this game, Zhong Yu's scoring average also dropped to 36.8 points. After all, his scoring is not high recently, and the 40-point scoring myth has temporarily come to an end.

But the scoring average of 36.8 points per game is still very good. Most people can't even get 20 points per game... let alone 36.8 points!
However, this game brought new bad news to the already injured Hornets.

That is, one of the team's leading stars, David West, sprained his ankle during an offense and needs to rest for at least ten days...

And March is coming soon, at this critical moment, West was injured.

In this way, among the main lineup of the Hornets, West, Chandler, and Paul are all injured!Only Zhong Yu and Peja are left, and Peja is in a bad state now, and he can't play more than 30 minutes in each game...

All the burdens of the entire team were placed on Zhong Yu.

I originally thought that after defeating the Pistons and Kings in a row, the record would get better.Who knew that the Hornets had suffered such a heavy blow.

The entire basketball world is sighing whether the Hornets have committed a crime of Tai Sui this season, but it doesn't help.

The burden of the Hornets fell on Zhong Yu, which was heavy.

…………

After West's accident, fans of the Hornets felt for a while that the situation of the Hornets had indeed been cornered!
"Right now, the Hornets lack enough scoring points. West, Paul, and Chandler are all injured. The Hornets are about to usher in the darkest period. Can they survive...We only have Zhong Yu left."

"Zhong Yu is the last straw for the Hornets, rise or perish... We're left with him."

"The Hornets team has fallen! Fortunately, there is only one Zhong Yu left, otherwise it will really be over."

………………

The fans of the Hornets almost pinned all their hopes on Zhong Yu.

After finally getting through almost March, the Hornets finally ranked second in the West. Although Paul and Chandler were injured in the middle, Zhong Yu led a group of people to survive.

Although they did not perform well after the All-Star Game, Zhong Yu still withstood the pressure and led the team to win two consecutive victories...

But now, another main force of the Hornets was injured, which pushed them into a desperate situation at once.

West was able to average 20.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game when Paul was not with the Hornets, and his shooting percentage was 51%.

With him gone, the Hornets' offense is about to drop a notch.

There has never been a darker time than now!

Other teams are vying for home court advantage and spots in the playoffs, and for these, they are working crazily.

But the Hornets, at this moment, are full of wounded soldiers, and only a few people are left struggling...

Spurs fans immediately laughed --

"West of the Hornets is injured. The state of the Hornets has fallen to the bottom. Zhong Yu is the best scorer in the league, but he can't lead the entire team to success."

"Now is the best chance for the Spurs to chase the second place in the Western Conference, and even directly beat the Lakers to reach the first place in the Western Conference. The Hornets will be defeated soon."

"The Hornets are finished now! Zhong Yu alone can't support this team, let's get ready to compete with the Lakers!"

…………

Spurs fans feel that this is a great opportunity, and it is an excellent opportunity for the Spurs to return to the top two in the Western Conference.

Other teams, even the Rockets, currently ranked fourth, are eager to compete with the Hornets...

This is the worst moment!

The Hornets have sunk to the bottom, the Quartet is doubting their strength, and few people believe that they can continue to win.

But it's also the best moment!

If the Hornets can bring everyone's doubts, and Zhong Yu leads the team to rise from the ashes in all unfavorable situations, then whether it is his personal honor or the team's combat effectiveness, he will form the best change in people's hearts.

At that time, many honors made Zhong Yu himself feel scary!

------

West Ward.

West's foot injury was a bit serious, and he was directly admitted to the ward.

This is also something that cannot be helped, West himself does not want to be injured at such a critical moment.

Paul and Chandler leaned on crutches and came to West's room together with Zhong Yu and Peja. In this way, the starting five of the Hornets gathered in this room, and the atmosphere was a bit dignified.

Of course, other players are not qualified to participate in such condolences. Since the human society has civilization, it seems that there has been a strict hierarchy following it.

For all to see.

Paul sat on a stool and said solemnly: "Now, the Hornets are rumored outside, and it is already very difficult to win any game. We have reached the most difficult moment."

West nodded, and said with some pain: "I'm sorry, I was injured at this time."

"It's none of your business." Zhong Yu said: "No one can predict when they will be injured, and they can't control it. The most important thing for us now is to play well and bring this team out of the abyss."

Paul hummed: "Zhong Yu is right...the season is at the end, we have to work hard..."

Peja's face was heavy: "That's right, it's just that, without your presence, we will have problems in offense and defense."

Everyone was silent again.

There is no way to avoid this.

After a long time, Zhong Yu said: "I will do my best. The Hornets are definitely no longer the original Hornets. We are now a championship-level team! No one can insult or question us anymore. We have our own team. pride. Next...the team is left to the rest of us..."

At this time, Zhong Yu's youthful peak time was fully revealed.

Seeing Zhong Yu like this, Paul felt touched for a while.

This guy, in his time away from the Hornets, has really improved a lot.

Several other people glanced at Zhong Yu and nodded.

"Man, I leave it to you! I hope that when I return to the Hornets, I can see a record that is still very strong." Chandler patted Zhong Yu's shoulder and said, "Otherwise, I won't let you go Yes, lad!"

Zhong Yu chuckled: "For a strong player like me, such a small request is really trivial."

Chandler patted his head: "You kid, your mouth is still so tricky."

Paul also laughed beside him, and said, "Zhong Yu is the All-Star MVP now! He's a big star, Tyson, you have to pay attention to your hands..."

Zhong Yu smiled and said: "Chris, I think you should pay attention... I saw that the little nurse serving you is very nice, you have to pay attention, don't masturbate your hands and important parts .”

Paul was speechless for a while: "You damn guy..."

The group was laughing and joking, as if they had returned to the era when the Hornets had a well-organized lineup. Every player was the most confident and made unremitting efforts for the team's tomorrow.

…………

After West was injured, the Hornets' first opponent was the Philadelphia 76ers in the East.

This is by no means a weak team.

This season, so far, the Philadelphia 76ers are still ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

The fourth team in the East is certainly not much weaker.

With the current lineup of the Hornets, there are indeed many people who doubt that they want to beat the 76ers.

Even the players of the 76ers are somewhat disapproving of the Hornets.

Although they didn't say it in public interviews, the Hornets will lose to the 76ers, which they basically assumed.

From the perspective of the outside world, this game hardly has much suspense——

On one side is the Hornets who are short of major generals and full of wounded soldiers. Only Zhong Yu and Peja are left to support them. The other side is the 76ers who have been in the limelight recently. Mao, the team's record is also rising.

It is conceivable that almost no one is optimistic about the Hornets...

Only fans of the Hornets and Zhong Yu always choose to believe in the Hornets.

After all, the Hornets still have Zhong Yu.

With Zhong Yu's Hornets, they will never be a weak team!
The Hornets are still at least a playoff-level team. They have gradually acquired the background of a strong team, and they are not so easily defeated by any team.

Of course, true knowledge comes from practice.

The Hornets still have to survive the game, or die in the game...

Before the game started, Zhong Yu and Scott had an in-depth conversation.

This time, Scott said bluntly: "Facing the 76ers, we have a small winning percentage. Their lineup is neat and full of fighting spirit, but our team has various problems, especially injuries, which make it difficult for us to solve. "

Zhong Yu nodded, but he said, "No matter what, I will do my best."

Scott hummed: "If that's the case... I think, in the next game, you will completely take scoring as your task! Regardless of anything else."
