runaway point guard

Chapter 340 Showdown between Western Powers
The pursuit of victory constitutes Zhong Yu's main spiritual life now, what's more, the Hornets are now facing an opportunity or a challenge——

In the most recent game, the Lakers lost to the Bobcats in an upset at home, and their record declined. The Hornets returned to the No. [-] record in the Western Conference!

No one on the Hornets would be willing to return to this position where they can see all the mountains and small mountains.

Those role players, who originally played for the Hornets, now playing beside Zhong Yu have already made them feel the feeling of being paid attention to - even if they have diarrhea and vomit in the locker room, someone will care.

And now, returning to No. [-] in the Western Conference, they are getting more and more attention.

However, being No. [-] in the West is very dangerous.

The Lakers' upcoming games include many home games, and the opponents are against big bad teams such as the Clippers and Timberwolves. They will win for a long time.

As for the Hornets, the next opponent is the Denver Nuggets, who are now ranked fourth in the Western Conference.

After the Nuggets completed the trade with the Pistons this season, their strength has greatly increased. The combination of Billups and Anthony has killed people and killed Buddhas, breaking a bloody road in the West.

This is an out-and-out strong team.

The pressure on the Hornets increased.

If they can't repel the Nuggets, their No. [-] in the Western Conference may soon be washed away.

Of course, Zhong Yu was not reconciled to being knocked out by his opponent for the position he finally got.

When the sense of honor has been ingrained in the bones, every failure will be as nauseating as eating flies at dinner.

What's more, when the Hornets had only two main players, he and Peja, he led the Hornets to a crazy bloody road.

The 68-point game pushed him to the top.

Now, the Hornets have climbed to No. [-] in the West, which can be said to be done independently, and he will let the entire league watch him keep this position.

…………

"This will be a tough battle!" Scott concluded with everyone at the beginning of the game: "It is very difficult for us to beat the Nuggets."

Zhong Yu and the others were all thoughtful.

Zhong Yu is eager to win, but he is also very clear-headed. Of course he knows that the Nuggets are definitely not a team to mess with, they are very disgusting.

Originally, they were just a team hovering on the edge of the playoffs. Last season, they were swept by the Lakers and suffered a great humiliation.

But times have changed. After the introduction of Billups, the grassroots phoenix, the Nuggets rose rapidly.It has also become one of the league's strong teams.

The Hornets will indeed face a conceivable fierce battle if they want to win them.

However, Zhong Yu will never give up, because he cannot lose this game.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yu said: "Although it is very difficult, I believe that the Nuggets always have their own weaknesses. We are now a team with six consecutive victories and the team with the best record in the league! No matter what strong team it is, What kind of Lakers, Celtics, Cavaliers, Magic... under our hands, we have never won. A team like ours, it is impossible to face the Nuggets and have nothing to do."

What Zhong Yu said immediately ignited the blood in the chests of his teammates——

yes!We are indeed the best team, no matter what kind of so-called strong team, this season can't do anything to us!And now the Hornets have reached the peak with six consecutive victories, mixed with the momentum of winning streak.

A nugget, no matter how strong they are, what is there to be afraid of?

What's more, when they saw Zhong Yu, they could feel the strong self-confidence exuded from this 22-year-old youth, as if the whole country was in their eyes.

This is a super fierce man who can score 68 points in a game. With him, there is nothing to be afraid of.

…………

Seeing that the morale of the players began to increase because of Zhong Yu's words, Scott didn't know whether he should be grateful for Zhong Yu's growth now, or feel depressed that the Hornets underestimated the enemy.

But after careful consideration, this is not to underestimate the enemy, it is just a way to grow self-confidence.

Even without self-confidence, how can there be victory in the game?

Thinking of this, Scott nodded and said, "Yes, the Denver Nuggets, as long as we play well and grasp their strengths and weaknesses, we can beat them."

"This game, the tactical arrangement, when the Nuggets are man-to-man or zone defense, Zhong Yu, it's your turn to express yourself! I will give you unlimited firepower!" Scott paused, then said : "There is also a possibility that the Nuggets completely double-team Zhong Yu. At this time, Zhong Yu can choose to pass the ball."

This tactic has been practiced by the Hornets recently, and most of those teams choose to double-team Zhong Yu.This gave him a chance to pass the ball, which also caused Zhong Yu's scoring average to drop.

Of course this is all temporary.

Scott went on to say: "When defending, we try to drag the Nuggets into positional battles as much as possible, use the defense around the front and man-to-man, cut off the connection between Billups and other teammates, and when necessary, Zhong Yu, you can come up and team up with Paco to double-team Billups. In addition, we speed up our offense and defense to bring up the pace of the Nuggets. Billups is not omnipotent. In a speed game, mistakes are likely to occur, catch them and we can counterattack."

After a pause, Scott said: "In terms of rebound protection, the Nuggets' secondary offensive ability is limited, and we can defend them well. At the same time, Trevor Ariza started the game, guard Anthony well, don't Let him score wantonly!"

…………

After a series of arrangements, Zhong Yu and the others couldn't stop nodding.

There are only [-] teams in the league, and the coach basically has a deep research on other teams.After the Nuggets left the 'two-gun era', most of their offensive system relied on point guard Billups to operate, which is somewhat similar to the previous Hornets.

Therefore, when the Hornets hit the Nuggets, it was a bit like hitting their own shadow.

In this game, the Hornets must win!
…………

In the New Orleans Arena, more than 3000 fans came to watch the game today. After the most difficult period, the Hornets' home attendance has also recovered.

Even more than that.

There are many fans who come to see Zhong Yu, and there are also many fans who come to see the Hornets win.

Now the Hornets have an excellent record and Zhong Yu is performing well. Fans are willing to support this kind of team.

The game officially started, and the starting lineups of both sides were also placed in front of everyone——

Nuggets: Chauncey Billups, Carmelo Anthony, Linus Kleiza, Kenyon Martin, Nene Hilario.

Hornets: Paco, Zhong Yu, Ariza, Evans, Thomas.

This lineup has completely become the Hornets' bench lineup led by Zhong Yu... It can be said that this lineup completely belongs to Zhong Yu.

When he saw the starting lineup, Sun Zhengping in the NBA studio asked, "The Hornets' lineup can be said to be played by Zhong Yu alone with the other four...Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Director Zhang and Sun Zhengping are the ones explaining the game today. Sun Zhengping asked Director Zhang at the beginning.

Director Zhang said: "Obviously, Ariza's playing is to limit Anthony. This season, Ariza can get 1.7 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. The data is very good. And the role of this player cannot be completely determined by data. Measured."

Most people also hold this view.

It is of course impossible for Ariza to completely guard against Anthony, but it can still be done by limiting him.Peja has been in poor form recently, and his jumper shooting percentage has continued to decrease. Keeping him on the court may not be as easy to use as Ariza.

The game officially started, and the fans' minds were completely immersed in the basketball court.

The jump ball was won by the Nuggets, and Billups pressed the rhythm for halftime. The Hornets immediately defended. Their defensive tactics were still mixed defense. Billups gave Anthony the first ball.

Ariza got a chance to start, of course he wants to show himself well.

He defended himself closely, defending Melo desperately.

Anthony was so troubled by him that a Buddha was born and the Buddha ascended to heaven, so he forcibly retreated and shot, but missed.Nene on the inside grabbed the rebound, then made a layup, was interfered by Thomas, and the ball came to the Hornets.

Paco controlled the ball and slowly advanced halfway, and then passed the ball to Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu tried it out, and found that Linus quickly came to defend Zhong Yu, and he had already started to defend.

It turned out that the Nuggets did not intend to use double-team tactics to limit Zhong Yu.

It seems that they still choose to believe that after all, one person cannot defeat five people, and Zhong Yu's touch cannot be as hot as the day he scored 68 points.

In this case, Zhong Yu is not polite.

He immediately made a gesture, Ariza came to pick and roll, Zhong Yu passed Linus and rushed to the inside, stopped near the free throw line, forcing Kenyon Martin to open his hands.

And Zhong Yu suddenly turned around, slid his right leg, and the whole person soared into the air, and shot a jumper with a fallback.

The ball is in.

Zhong Yu scored two points first.

"Good job! Just do it like this." The audience at the scene was almost boiling, and their voices began to grow stronger.

Then the Nuggets counterattacked, Billups was pressed by Paco, and finally passed Paco, Zhong Yu came up to double-team him, Billups lost the passing route for a while, so he had to jump up and pass the ball .

Ariza appeared in an instant and stole the ball.

But he didn't dare to be greedy for merit, he held the basketball and waited for Zhong Yu to recover before passing the ball to Zhong Yu.

The Hornets continued to attack. Zhong Yu unceremoniously took over the responsibility of advancing and attacking the ball this time. Linus still chose to come up to defend Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu got rid of him with two shoulder shakes, and then killed himself. At a 45-degree angle on the left wing, take off instantly.

Another fadeaway jumper!
"Shua!" The basketball flew into the basket again, which made the audience roar a second time.

Zhong Yu hit two fadeaway jumpers in the opening game. It can be seen that he has a strong desire to attack today, and his touch is relatively hot.

The Nuggets may be in trouble.

Their defensive choice may allow Zhong Yu to blow Linus into scum.
