runaway point guard

Chapter 341 Zhong Yu's Hornets are not easy to mess with

In the early stages, the Nuggets found the Hornets difficult to deal with...

After all, they are No. [-] in the Western Conference with six consecutive victories recently, and their level is indeed very good.

George Karl is also considered a famous coach, he felt that he had to find a way to limit Zhong Yu.

It's just that, regardless of how famous you are as an old coach, there are very few solutions you can think of when facing a player who has no solution.Just like LeBron James, apart from praying that he is not in good shape, how many ways can he limit him?
What's more, it is now recognized by the league that Zhong Yu's organizational ability is of course not as good as James', and he is far inferior to James' all-around ability.But as far as scoring ability is concerned, James is about to be left behind by Zhong Yu.

But the problem now lies in Zhong Yu's super scoring ability.

He has a strong score and must be double-teamed, but double-teaming him may bring about an overall improvement for the Hornets.

George Karl looked at the lineup of the Hornets, calculated it in his heart, and suddenly changed his mind. He decided to double-team Zhong Yu!

Because of the Hornets' lineup, the offensive power is mediocre.

Apart from Zhong Yu, I am afraid that the one with the highest attack power can only be Paco.

…………

When the Nuggets played again, the lineup did not adjust. When the Hornets started their first offense, they found that they had adjusted their defensive strategy.

At present, the game has started 4 minutes, the score of the two sides is 9-4, and the Hornets lead by 5 points.

9 of the 6 points were scored by Zhong Yu relying on a fadeaway jumper.

Of course, George Karl wouldn't rest assured. The current Nuggets actually lack someone who can defend Zhong Yu - Kleiza... This guy just proved that he can't defend Zhong Yu.Nene has no way to guard against it, and a person like Zhong Yu with strong projection ability can walk sideways in front of him. JR. Smith's defense is not good either. Facing Zhong Yu, who can yawn even with feints, the biggest possibility for Smith is that he will cause countless fouls and leave the field early.

In this way, it is not easy to choose people who double-team.

George Karl made a difficult decision-let Billups defend Zhong Yu.

Although Billups is shorter than Zhong Yu and is the core hub of the entire Nuggets offense, he shouldn't be doing the high-risk and low-reward job of defending Zhong Yu, but there is no way.

Billups is one of the best defenders in this lineup. He once defended Wade convincingly and Parker from injury.

It is said that the defender who was targeted by Billups can only ask for blessings.

With Billups and the liberated Kenyon Martin, one inside and one outside, Zhong Yu's subsequent shots will become much more difficult.

After making adjustments, the Hornets' first ball started.

Zhong Yu leaned against Billups, planning to do a post-up single.Billups has a lot of experience, he raised his hands high, firmly against Zhong Yu's lower body, judged his strength, and prevented Zhong Yu from suddenly turning around and shooting a jump shot.

Zhong Yu also felt that it was a little difficult. At the moment, after half turning around, he controlled the ball and pulled out the three-point line, making a gesture to shoot.

Billups followed up immediately. He knew that he was not tall enough, so the defensive method he adopted was more suitable.But seeing that Zhong Yu was about to shoot a jump shot, Kleiza also looked at Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu put away the basketball in an instant, intending to force his way inside, and the two surrounded him, blocking Zhong Yu's approach.

So, Zhong Yu shook his right hand lightly, and the basketball had already been passed sideways to Paco on the other side. Paco caught the ball and shot it.

When encountering double-teaming, Zhong Yu would often choose to trust Paco, and Paco gradually got used to it.

So he shot very fast and hit the 12-pointer -- 4-[-]!

"This...is this still the Hornets and the Nuggets?" The fans watching the game felt unbelievable...because this start is so amazing.

Although the Hornets are currently No. [-] in the Western Conference, most people think that the No. [-] in the Western Conference has moisture.

The Nuggets counterattacked, and the Hornets' defensive strategy was still to limit Billups.Billups simply chose to give the ball to Anthony.

Nene and Kenyon Martin pulled apart quickly to clear a little space for Anthony.

It's just that Ariza's defense was very desperate, and Anthony couldn't solve it for a while. In the end, he took a step back and forced a shot, and finally got it.

12-6.
The Nuggets' defense has achieved certain results. Zhong Yu's next breakthrough was jointly blocked by Billups and Martin. He passed the ball to Evans, but Evans missed a jumper.

Next, George Karl's defensive tactics finally worked.

Billups + Kleiza + Kenyon Martin restrained Zhong Yu.

It was more difficult for him to score, and his combat effectiveness declined. Zhong Yu chose to pass the ball more, but his teammates were mediocre on the offensive end, wasting many of Zhong Yu's passes.

The Nuggets gradually regained the score.

Every star who is praised as 'unsolvable', when he wants to score, others are almost unstoppable.Zhong Yu is also such a person, now he can also score, but it will consume more physical strength, good steel must be used wisely.

In the face of the Nuggets' approach, Scott can only try to let the Hornets implement pick-and-roll tactics.

The time is over soon, only the last 30 seconds left.

Zhong Yu stood beyond the three-point line and made a gesture with his right hand to let them all pull away.He intends to play this ball by himself. The current score is 21-20, and the Hornets still lead their opponents by 1 point.

The one-point difference was too dangerous, and the Nuggets played a 14-9 attack wave in the second half of the first quarter.

So far, Zhong Yu scored 10 points in a single quarter and also had an assist.

Now, on the last pitch of the first quarter, he decided he was going to do it himself.

After estimating his physical strength, Zhong Yu took a deep breath. With Billups staring at him, Zhong Yu began to control the ball to delay time.

Billups also thought he was stalling for time, opened his hands, and at the same time paid attention to Zhong Yu's jumper.

But at the moment when Billups felt a little relaxed, the basketball in Zhong Yu's right hand immediately sped up, and his body also sped up.

Faced with such a speed, Billups can only retreat and defend the center line.

Zhong Yu changed direction directly in front of him, pulled to the other side, forced a breakthrough towards the center line, and Martin came head-on.

So, he flew high, brushed past Martin in the air, rubbed him with his right hand, and put the basketball into the hoop under pressure.

"Shua!" The voice of entering the net resounded loudly, but Zhong Yu used too much force and fell to the ground.

After all, for a man with abnormal physical fitness like Martin, Zhong Yu still felt a little pressure to face him.

"Strike!" The audience cheered up!

At the last moment of the first quarter, Zhong Yu made a final layup!This greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the audience.

Moreover, the referee blew his whistle and awarded Zhong Yu an additional penalty.

Zhong Yu from the free throw line made an easy shot.

He left the Nuggets with 7 seconds left, which was enough to organize an offense, but there was no way to implement tactics.The Nuggets missed their last attack, and the Hornets' first quarter ended 24-20.

Temporarily gained the lead.

------

As soon as Billups walked to the bench, he shook his head: "Zhong Yu is really hard to beat..."

Kenyon Martin also has a deep understanding of this: "It is difficult to grasp what he wants to do."

Carmelo Anthony frowned. He and Zhong Yu also knew each other, and knew that this person was difficult to deal with.

George Karl encouraged everyone and said: "It doesn't matter, the restrictions we just imposed on him have already achieved results. After all, Zhong Yu is just an earthling. It scored itself."

"It's not good to go on like this." Scott thought about the situation in the first quarter, and then said: "Peja, Mike James, Armstrong, you go first and bite the score."

After the Hornets' bench lineup fought the Nuggets, although the Hornets could not be said to be defeated at one touch, they still couldn't find any benefits under the blow of the Nuggets.

Only 5 minutes into this quarter, the Nuggets played a wave of 10-3 attacks, the score became 27-30, and the Hornets were overtaken by three points.

Scott quickly called a timeout. This situation is not good, and they have to hurry up and adjust.

Then, the Hornets and Nuggets played their best, Scott said to Zhong Yu: "This way... this game is very important to us, and the next opponent will be slightly weaker. So, this game, I think you You can ignore other things, just play your best. Then let everyone pick and roll for you, grab rebounds..."

Zhong Yu said, "Is it the same as when we played against the 76ers?"

"That's it! After so long, your physical strength should have recovered."

"Okay!" Zhong Yu nodded, and Scott looked at him suspiciously—why did he feel that this kid seemed very excited?
The game restarted, and the two sides first started a foul, turnover, and iron fight.

Although Zhong Yu has just regained the right to fire unlimited fire, but his hand feeling has not recovered for the time being.

The Nuggets also saw some tricks. They found that the Hornets' offensive focus seemed to have completely shifted to Zhong Yu.With four minutes left in the second quarter, the score was 4-30, with the Hornets trailing by five points.

At this time, the ball is in Zhong Yu's hands.

"Zhong Yu! Goal, goal, goal!"

The cheers of the fans rang out crazily...

They watched the blacksmith fight for a few minutes, and they couldn't bear it.

Seeing Zhong Yu controlling the ball, whether it was recovering the score or scoring a goal to end the iron fight, they felt hopeful.

Billups stepped up to defend very carefully, stretching his right hand forward, trying to make Zhong Yu make a mistake, but Zhong Yu was not fooled at all. He tapped a few tentative steps with his left foot and then suddenly withdrew back. He was about to fly into the air and shoot a jumper.

Billups couldn't stand such a provocation, and chased after him to block the shot, but Zhong Yu put away the basketball, moved a step to the right, and completely avoided Billups' defensive range. Before Kleiza could react, he shot a jumper .

Another jumper from beyond the arc.

"Bang!" The basketball hit the backboard and was dragged into the net with tyrannical force. The net flowers were blown away. Suddenly, there were cheers one after another in the entire arena.

"Zhong Yu scored a goal!"

"Finally over this damn blacksmithing."

…………

The game has entered a new stage.
