runaway point guard

Chapter 358
The hole the Bulls dug for themselves in the first quarter was big enough.

"What are you doing?" Rose returned to the bench, uncommonly angry.

Before that, even though he was the No. [-] pick of the Bulls, he could always abide by his duty as a rookie, and he generally tried to get along with his teammates as much as possible.

But now he really couldn't help the anger in his chest.

The Hornets knocked them out in the first quarter...what was the formula?
Anyway, they are also one of the teams in the West that can make the playoffs.

Hornets twins?What a big deal!
----

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" The continuous impact sounded.

Paul clapped the palms of every Hornets player with both hands, which drew enthusiastic cheers from the crowd of more than 1 behind him.

In this scene, the Hornets fully recovered!
It is about to release its most poisonous and sharpest thorns, making it impossible for people to resist.

No matter from which point of view, the Hornets now have a taste of taking a 'family portrait', and they embark on the journey again with glory.

In the full state of the Hornets, their game against the Bulls began in the second quarter.

Rose played in person at the beginning of the second quarter, and he was a little worried about the performance of the substitutes.A Hornets team with all the main players back, the bench lineup is also unfathomable, which makes many other teams in the league have great fear of them.

"Defend their offense. When necessary, Paco and Ariza will switch defenses, and Ariza will defend Rose." Scott arranged a tactic: "Stop this kid."

With Scott's reminder, the Hornets' bench lineup and the Bulls' bench lineup led by Rose collided.

The Hornets' substitutes are also full of morale today. Paul's return gave them a lot of confidence. The Hornets led their opponents by more than ten points in the first quarter, which made them gear up to continue their glory.

After the opening of the second quarter, Rose made two consecutive breakthroughs, one of which was a violent dunk, which gave the Bulls some confidence back. Under the leadership of Rose, the Bulls also launched a counterattack against the Hornets. .

It's just that the good times don't last long.

Rose was quickly taken care of by the Hornets. He was taken care of by the Hornets in the interior, and his breakthroughs often failed.

But if it is a direct jump shot from the outside, Rose himself does not have that kind of courage.

His COSCO shots have not been very good so far.

With Rose blocked, the Bulls' combat effectiveness declined, and the Hornets' substitutes also started their own good offense and defense.They are not perfect, but they played well, and the Bulls have nothing to do with them.

As a result, the Bulls were forced into the main force 4 minutes into the second quarter, while the Hornets did not switch to the main force until 8 minutes into the second quarter.

"Good job!" Zhong Yu patted the ass of Devin Brown, who had just replaced him, and stepped onto the court.

Today's Hornets, every player has done a pretty good job.

Now, with 3 minutes and 48 seconds left, the score is 47-39, and the Hornets still lead the Bulls by 8 points.

The Hornets put all the main players on the court again.

The first ball was the possession of the Hornets. Paul stood outside the three-point line, controlled the ball with his left hand, and pointed the players inside with his right hand.Several Bulls players stand in the area inside the free throw line. This defense does not have much advantage for the Hornets' outside jumper, but it is more useful for defending the Hornets' breakthrough.

Paul immediately passed the ball to Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu was not polite to the current defense of the Bulls. He put his body up into the sky beyond the three-point line, and the basketball was pushed out by him.

"Shua!" A three-pointer was hit just after entering the court!

The on-site commentator Barnes explained: "It didn't happen today as some people with ulterior motives imagined. Zhong Yu and Paul disagreed because of the distribution of ball rights. On the contrary, Zhong Yu scored more easily!"

It was indeed easier for Zhong Yu to score today.

Much easier.

Because Paul basically took over the organization of the Hornets, without Zhong Yu being both a father and a mother, the entire team is scoring.Zhong Yu didn't have to use his own flesh and blood to hit the opponent's inside Great Wall. He could safely run out of position on the outside to catch Paul's pass and jump shot.

Counting the three-pointer just now, so far, Zhong Yu has scored 15 points today, and Paul has also scored 8 points and 7 assists. He got so many assists before the end of the half. Today, Paul is also in a very good state. good.

Then, the Bulls missed the offense and the Hornets counterattacked. After Paul broke through, he passed the ball to Chandler next to him. Chandler attracted attention and passed the ball to West, who made a jumper.

Immediately afterwards, when Rose passed the ball to Noah, he was intercepted by Paul who suddenly jumped out. After the steal, the Hornets did not launch a fast break, but resumed a positional battle.

Paul breaks through, West picks and rolls for him, after Paul breaks through to the depth, Zhong Yu cuts straight down, Paul lobs to Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu catches the ball and passes back, West catches the ball and makes a mid-range shot!
A barrage of passes!
This is the current Hornets, with a series of Paul. Once the pick-and-roll tactics are activated, it will be more difficult for other teams to defend them.

The pick-and-roll is a basic tactic, and every team has some, but a good point guard is rare, and some good players who can strictly execute the tactic are also rare.

Players who really know how to pick and roll are not easy to find. The Hornets basically have some understanding of the pick and roll, and the offense can be kneaded as a whole.

到上半场时间还剩下最后的16秒钟的时候，黄蜂队的主力上场之后就打出了10-4的攻击波，比分是57-43，公牛队已经落后14分之多！
The hole is getting bigger and bigger, and Rose is getting more and more worried... How can this be broken with the current situation of the Bulls and the strength of the Hornets?
However, the most important thing for them at the moment is to defend the last goal of the first half.

If the Hornets still have the ball, the Bulls will have at least 16 points in the first half. In that case, how will they play in the second half?
"Defend the ball... We have plenty of chances in the second half!" Rose shouted at his teammates, while he bent over to defend Paul, who was approaching step by step.

Paul passed the ball to Zhong Yu.

He wanted to see how Zhong Yu handled the ball.

Zhong Yu smiled slightly, and when he received the ball, he planned to come by himself.

"Zhong Yu! Zhong Yu!" The voices on both sides of the stadium were cheering for Zhong Yu. They enjoyed many of Zhong Yu's games, just like this one.

Just like this ball, everyone believes that he can always put the ball into the basket with the most accurate time and place.

Gomez came up to defend nervously. He was really nervous because he was worried that Zhong Yu would hit a buzzer-beater on his head.

"Pull away!" Zhong Yu yelled, and the teammates dispersed automatically and ran away to both sides.

Although Paul is back, his status in the Hornets remains unshakable.

Gomez became even more nervous... Pulling away means that Zhong Yu will go it alone and break through, but can he guard Zhong Yu?
However, the Bulls players did not go out because of the Hornets' pull, but the remaining four used a trapezoidal method to block the inside line.

There is no doubt that once someone wants to reach the inside, they have to wait for the joint efforts of the four of them to block the shot.

Such a formation, relying on a player's personal strength, is difficult to break!

But Zhong Yu slumped his shoulders, the basketball was constantly changing and bouncing between his left and right hands, and then, with 4 seconds left in the clock, Zhong Yu moved!

Quiet as a virgin and as moving as a rabbit!

He just moved, and his whole body instantly reached the highest speed.

Gomez quickly flew back to prevent Zhong Yu from breaking through him, and Zhong Yu forced him to a place near the free throw line, where he and Ross stood on the same line of defense.

Zhong Yu came here, suddenly put away the basketball, jumped up and passed it from the middle of the defense line formed by Gomez and Rose!
The second step of the three-step basket initiation.

Under Zhong Yu's feet, Zhong Yu's basic basketball skills, which were plain and unpretentious, became like dragons and tigers. He passed between Gomez and Rose, and the speed was so fast that the two of them could only look at his back.

Ben Gordon wanted to come up to block immediately, but the other player had no time to come over, and Ben Gordon still had his own defensive position.

However, Zhong Yu had already soared into the air, and he rose sideways, and his whole body floated towards the basket. Because of his sideways body, he almost completely avoided Ben Gordon, and his whole body floated under the basket. When the person couldn't come over to block the shot, the basketball was pushed up by his right hand.

Push it to the backboard, flick it lightly, and fly off the net!

"Doo!" It has to be said that Zhong Yu's skill in timing is also very profound, and he clocked the time just when the whistle sounded.

Everything hits the spot!

Gomez's complexion changed, and sure enough, Zhong Yu broke through him and hit the buzzer on his head, pushing him into a very humiliating situation.

"Damn it!" He could only mutter one sentence before leaving immediately.

In this way, at the end of the first half, the Hornets led the Bulls in the first half with a score of 59-43 and a 16-point difference.

Losing to the Hornets by 16 points in the half, the Bulls were dull.

Back in the locker room, the reporter quickly came to ask Paul: "Chris, how did you feel about your performance in the first half of the game? Has your body recovered to the level you want?"

Paul smiled and said, "It's not bad, I think I'm in a great situation now, and I'm a qualified NBA player again!"

"Can you comment on your cooperation with Zhong Yu after your comeback? Is it still the same tacit understanding as before?"

"Of course! Zhong Yu is a very good player. We have a common feeling for basketball, and we can also find a common point. Our tacit understanding is still there! This can be seen from the very first ball in this game. "

These reporters tried their best to capture some evidence of the conflict between Paul and Zhong Yu, but unfortunately, they couldn't find it.

Maybe they're just too good at acting, or maybe they're just fine.
