runaway point guard

Chapter 347 Strong eight-game winning streak!
Zhong Yu blocked Durant, which was transmitted to the retinas of thousands of fans through cameras and electronic signals.

"Oh! This block is so domineering!" The fans who gloated at their misfortune said while standing and talking without pain in their backs.

Zhong Yu was also secretly happy in his heart. Durant was careless with that ball just now, and his shot point was very low, which allowed Zhong Yu to seize the opportunity.

Zhong Yu raised his right hand and jumped up tentatively... Hey, it really blocked the shot.

Durant's face darkened. Being covered in front of so many people made him feel ashamed.

The rebound was caught in his hands after being forced by Evans, and then he threw it to Paco.The Hornets reorganized their offense. Paco passed the ball to Zhong Yu after halftime, and Zhong Yu lobbed it to West.

Fans who wanted to see the battle between Zhong Yu and Durant at the very beginning should be disappointed, because now the strategy of the Hornets is obvious-let West re-acquaint himself with the venue of the game and find his own feel.

West receives the pass, then drops back a bit and forces the start.

Jump shot!

West's turnaround jumper, the basketball went in neatly.

The Hornets are off to a good start.

Six minutes into the clock, the current score of the two sides is 6-11, the Hornets lead their opponents by five points, and the Thunder called a timeout.

Among the eleven points scored by the Hornets, Zhong Yu scored 6 points, West scored 4 points, and Evans made one of two free throws.

"How does it feel?" Scott asked West.

West nodded and smiled: "It feels great."

Scott also nodded, and then said: "For that Kevin Durant, we need to be serious about defense. He still has the ability. For the rest of the Thunder, cut off their passing rhythm. When attacking Press them to play, press the time, and master the rhythm."

The current Thunder can be said to be a youth army. One of the advantages of young people is that the game is full of passion, and every attack and every defense is full of passion.

But their disadvantages are also obvious-lack of experience, easy to get hotheaded.

The Hornets will then focus on defensive counterattacks.

The game restarted, the Thunder started to attack, Durant broke through with the ball, and then passed the ball to the inside, but the basketball was still in the middle, and it was destroyed by Ariza who jumped out suddenly.

Then he passed the ball to Zhong Yu, and the Hornets started to fight back.

Zhong Yu controlled the ball on the outside and stood firm.

In the days without Paul, the Hornets' offensive system is not as complete as before.After all, Paul is working towards the goal of 'the league's first point guard', and his influence on the Hornets can be imagined.

Although Zhong Yu is not a point guard, let him control the ball, the rhythm of the entire team will be more stable, and the offense and defense will be more reasonable.

This is all Zhong Yu's role.

Now, he is suppressing the rhythm, Westbrook tried to come up to steal, but failed, Zhong Yu handed the basketball to his right hand and broke through.

Durant wanted to come up to block Zhong Yu, but Zhong Yu easily moved a step sideways to make way for the opponent to pass the ball. He reached the baseline all the way, then raised the basketball with both hands, and shot a fadeaway jumper.

"Shua!" The jumper hit.

Today's Durant looked a little dim in front of Zhong Yu, and Zhong Yu's light enveloped him.

The game continued, and the gap in combat effectiveness between the Hornets and the Thunder was obvious. Now that West has returned to the court, the gap in combat effectiveness is even more obvious.

At the end of the game, the score of the two sides was 29-17. The Hornets had already led their opponents by 12 points in just one quarter!
In the first quarter of the game, Zhong Yu scored 10 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, while West scored 8 points. The two scored a lot of points among the Hornets.

West's touch has also recovered, and today his touch is hotter, with a high hit rate.

The Hornets are getting better and better.

"Just do it!" Scott said, waving his fists. "Suppress their rhythm, try to make these people score fewer points through tight defense, and play a defensive counterattack. They will not be able to withstand it."

Everyone feels this point.

The Thunder are under their command. Although they can't be said to be vulnerable, they really don't have much to do with them.

Afterwards, the second quarter started, and both sides sent out their own substitute lineups. The Hornets' bench lineup still had a certain advantage, and also followed the rhythm taught by the head coach to suppress the opponent and try to force them into the position. The guiding ideology in the battle.

In this way, the Thunder sent their main force only 3 minutes into the second quarter.

The combination of Westbrook + Durant has revitalized the Thunder's lineup. Westbrook is a point guard, but this kid plays like a shooting guard.

And his touch is not bad, and the breakthrough also made the Hornets a little difficult to parry, hitting the inside again and again to score.

With 5 minutes left, the score was 37-32, and the Thunder were only 5 points behind.Westbrook and Durant teamed up to score 11 points and hit a wave of attacks.

However, the players of the Hornets were not in a hurry, and Zhong Yu and the others didn't have any anxious expressions on their faces, as if everything was under their control.

The main force of the Hornets also reappeared.

Westbrook is a little dissatisfied-he is the age who is not afraid of anything, and he has a sharp character who is not afraid of anything and wants to challenge everything.

He wanted to compete with Zhong Yu.

So, next, as the team's point guard, he took possession of the ball for half the court, and then took the initiative to find Zhong Yu. After several consecutive changes of direction, he really got him to the inside, and then put himself into the sky, Wipe yourself and throw the basketball into the hoop.

"Strike!" shouted the onlookers, which made Westbrook look at Zhong Yu proudly.

It seems to be saying that this year's hottest player and active scoring champion is nothing more than that.

Zhong Yu just smiled. He really didn't worry much about this game. The Hornets now have a 7-game winning streak and West's return. With such a lineup, it is really not difficult to kill the Thunder. matter.

He didn't pay much attention to this Westbrook.

The score was 37-34, and the Hornets were only leading by 3 points. After Mike James took control of the ball for halftime, he passed the basketball to Zhong Yu again.

Westbrook stood in front of Zhong Yu!This guy, who was much shorter than Zhong Yu, stood in front of Zhong Yu indifferently, with a firm look on his face.

Zhong Yu suddenly said: "Are you trying to defeat me?"

This sentence made Westbrook stunned, and then said: "This is not unusual. There are at least two hundred people in the league who want to do this."

"But you are a point guard." Zhong Yu said, "You should find someone else as a point guard."

Westbrook was at a loss for words, but he didn't intend to answer, but put his hands in front of Zhong Yu to prevent his breakthrough and sudden jump shot.

Zhong Yu changed direction twice in a row, then took a step forward and quickly retracted, Westbrook also retracted his center of gravity, but Zhong Yu accelerated to the inside again.

"Oops!" Westbrook murmured the word secretly in his heart, but it was too late.

Zhong Yu accelerated directly, completely reversed Westbrook's center of gravity, he fell to the ground tragically, and Zhong Yu calmly retreated to the three-point line, and then shot a jumper.

The whole process seemed to be playing Westbrook!

Westbrook fell to the ground and felt extremely humiliated. He was actually knocked down by Zhong Yu... There was a faint pain in his right leg and ankle, but he heard the sound of Zhong Yu's three-point jumper hitting the net.

"Damn it!" Westbrook hammered the floor and stood up, resentful.

Then he saw Zhong Yu's smile again, and Zhong Yu smiled and said to him: "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

This sentence has been used badly by many people, but when used on Westbrook, it still gave him a huge humiliation. He felt his chest rising and falling sharply, and the blood of anger was almost burning his head.

So, the next time he took possession of the ball, he approached Zhong Yu without hesitation, shaking in front of Zhong Yu in various ways.

It's just that Zhong Yu's defensive skills are not what they used to be, and he has been able to prevent Westbrook's ideas from succeeding.

As soon as Westbrook got a hard scalp, he took possession of the ball and directly tried to break into the inside line. Zhong Yu stood beside him, and immediately gave Westbrook endless shock and confusion—from the perspective of Zhong Yu's strength, he How can you get so many points?

A sense of shock germinated infinitely in Westbrook's heart, but at this time he had come to a place close to the bottom corner. In this place, Westbrook could not go any further, otherwise the situation would be tragic.

So, he put away his body directly, and shot a jump shot with his whole body.

Forced jumper...he had no other options.

It's just that the jump shot just felt bad, because Zhong Yu grasped the most suitable angle for him in the shortest time, raised his right hand, and slammed his basketball out of bounds!

"Crack!" There was another crisp cap-blocking sound!
Durant took a sympathetic look at Westbrook...he was also overwhelmed by Zhong Yu just now.

There was a sound of gasping in the arena, Zhong Yu was addicted to blocking shots in this game!He has twice blocked two of the Thunder's best players so far.

Westbrook became a lot more honest after this block, at least he didn't dare to go to Zhong Yu so blatantly again.Westbrook really feels that he still has too much to learn. If he goes to Zhong Yu now, what awaits him may be a rather tragic ending.

The game re-entered the previous state.

The Hornets are still playing against the Thunder, trying to drag their opponents into their own rhythm.

Every attack made the opponent fall into the nightmare of positional warfare. The Thunder tried several times but could not break this trick.

And West's jumper just paid today is also relatively accurate, tearing their defense line after jumper after jumper.

At the end of the first half, the Hornets basically established their own lead.

In the second half, the Hornets relied on the advantages they had gained in the first half to play steadily and win a victory at the Thunder's home court.

Get your own eight-game winning streak!
