runaway point guard

Chapter 361 Western Conference Finals Preview
In the end, this small public welfare activity can be regarded as a happy gathering.

The members of the Hornets team also met some new children. Many things in the world really depend on luck. They received an education about basketball at a very young age.

After Paul returned, the Hornets became more heroic and invincible!

First of all, they defeated the aggressive Mavericks in an away game. In back-to-back games, they once again defeated the Eastern bad team Bucks in an away game.

Another big victory with more than 20 points!

The Hornets have used a very strong record to secure a place in the playoffs a long time ago, and now, even if they don't win a game in the future, they can still rank at least the top four in the Western Conference.

Top four in the West!

This is still the case of the next winless game.

The strength of the Hornets can be seen.

In these few games, Zhong Yu scored an average of 37 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and his statistics are still extremely luxurious.

Moreover, many people found that after Paul came back, Zhong Yu not only scored a sharp drop because of the distribution of ball rights predicted by some people, but also scored a lot higher.

And Paul averaged 21 points, 13 assists and 3 steals per game in these games, and the data is as good as ever.

After Paul came back, he also regained his position on the scoring list, assists list, and steals list.

He is currently No.10 in scoring, No.1 in assists, and No.1 in steals!This can also be said to be an unprecedented achievement.

Two firsts and a top ten scoring list... The convincing power is too strong.

Paul and Zhong Yu averaged 58 points per game, becoming the highest scoring backcourt combination in the league.

The twin star alliance formed by Zhong Yu and Paul has become the hottest combination.

At the same time, the record of the Hornets is also advancing steadily. It has already led the Lakers in the second place in the Western Conference by 3 wins, and its record temporarily ranks first in the league.

These are all achievements that the Hornets could not have imagined before Paul arrived.

…………

In these few games, although Zhong Yu scored very high points in each game, he was actually not as tired as before.This is also the result of having a good point guard around him and his teammates are not bad. If it was before Paul returned, he would be as tired as a dog after these few games.

But in these few games, Zhong Yu's high score was basically obtained with few shots and high shooting percentage.

He didn't take many shots, but most of them were able to hit.

And his shots don't have to be breakthroughs like Paul did before he came back, cheat fouls or force shots. Most of his shots now are mid-range shots and three-pointers.

These are the effects of Paul's return.

After Paul returned, the game became easy and Zhong Yu could really enjoy the game.

Because Paul shared a lot of defensive pressure for him, he also had enough time and space to find a gap to shoot from the outside. With Zhong Yu's restraint, Paul's breakthrough was much easier.

As a result, the complementary Hornets' backcourt double guns have become the undisputed best backcourt combination in the league. They averaged 58 points per game and became the most shining combination in the entire league.

During this period of time, the suspicion that there was a problem between Zhong Yu and Paul also decreased a lot.

Because they have proved with their own actions that their friendship is still strong.

…………

The playoffs are coming, the league's recent battles, most of the defensive intensity and the intensity of the game has declined, except for individual teams.

Because those teams that know they have no hope of making the playoffs are already preparing their fishing rods after the season.And those teams that have confirmed that they can enter the playoffs, they also need to recharge their energy and accumulate energy for the playoffs, so their intensity has dropped a lot.

However, for a game in the league, most people predict that this game will definitely be very turbulent, and players on both sides will spare no effort.

This game will be held in New Orleans on April 2009, 4, BJ time. The New Orleans Hornets will face the Los Angeles Lakers at home!
There is no need to doubt this match, everyone knows that this will be a fierce duel.

Some people call it a "preview of the Western Conference Finals". So far, the teams most likely to meet in the Western Conference Finals should be the Hornets and Lakers.

Moreover, the Hornets and the Lakers also have a lot of grievances.

In the last season's playoffs, the two teams killed seven games. While giving the audience a soul-stirring feast, the two teams also formed a bond.

In the regular season of this season, the Hornets and the Lakers met once, and the Hornets defeated them.

And now, the second matchup between the Hornets and the Lakers in the regular season is here!
To what extent the competition will develop, it is difficult for everyone to predict for the time being.

However, most people are generally optimistic about the Hornets.

This caused dissatisfaction with the head of the Lakers star Kobe Bryant.In the interview before the start of the game, when the reporters deliberately mentioned that many people thought that the Lakers were not the opponent of the Hornets, Kobe said a little unhappy: "The game has not started yet, and nothing may come true. The Hornets are Not bad, but I believe that we also have enough strength to fight against them. The Lakers are definitely not easy to mess with. I hope everyone will not be blinded by the current record. In the final analysis, many games have to be played to know."

Kobe's words didn't sound like they mentioned much, but anyone with a discerning eye would know that Kobe was saying that they were very powerful.

This means that they can beat the Hornets, but it also means that Kobe is angry...

It seems that the game between the Hornets and the Lakers is destined to be a battle worthy of people's attention. Whether the Hornets sting the Lakers to death or the Lakers slap the Hornets to death is still unknown.

Afterwards, the journalists also asked Zhong Yu his opinion on this matter, and Zhong Yu said flatly: "We will use the game to prove everything, to prove why we are number one in the Western Conference..."

These words are coquettish and domineering!

It soon attracted a wave of scolding from Comey, but at the same time, it also aroused applause from Zhong Yu's fans——

"Speak quickly! To a person like Kobe, you should reply so quickly."

"It was originally! The Hornets are number one in the Western Conference, they just have their own strength..."

…………

The game is about to begin.

The fans sitting at the home court were all staring at the scene on the basketball court, and most of them were chatting.

"I used to think the Lakers were good... but now I think they are terrible, they are some bastards who have no pursuit... The Hornets have Zhong Yu and cp3, and they can easily beat them."

"certainly……"

There is no doubt that the Hornets fans have got rid of the slut status a long time ago. They are full of confidence, and they have enough confidence to stand upright in the face of any strong team in the league.

In this way, the game between the Hornets and the Lakers is about to begin.

During the warm-up, Kobe and Zhong Yu looked more friendly.

Kobe smiled and said: "I heard people say that you have to explain to us what is number one in the Western Conference."

"Yeah, I said that." Zhong Yu also said with a smile: "I also heard someone say, don't believe in the record..."

Both of them laughed. The atmosphere was a bit weird. In fact, in the eyes of most people, Zhong Yu and Kobe fought several times in the playoffs last season, and Zhong Yu stole Kobe's All-Star Game Celebrity MVP... No matter how you say it, he should have a deep hatred.

But the fact is that the two people have a little sympathy for each other because of these.

So now the scene looks friendlier.

The game officially begins!
The starting lineups of the two sides are also discharged - the Lakers: Odom, Gasol, Kobe Bryant, Powell, Fisher.This lineup was also found out because of Bynum's injury.

However, this lineup also gave the recent Lakers the honor of winning 4 consecutive victories, and they still have the confidence to face any strong team in the league.

The Hornets lineup is: Zhong Yu, Paul, Peja, West, Chandler.

Now that their main players are here, this starting lineup is a matter of course.

"Fuck the Los Angeles people!"

"Let the Los Angeles people go back to their hometown!" All kinds of shouts filled people's eardrums, and the audience also lacked favor for the Lakers. They just wanted the Hornets to beat them quickly.

The jump ball begins!The basketball was photographed in the hands of the Lakers point guard Fisher, and the old fish handed the ball to Kobe when he got the ball to the frontcourt.

Gasol came over and stood near the free throw line, where he responded, pick and roll Kobe or attract defensive players to him.

At that time, Kobe can also pass back to him to let him make a mid-range shot.

Zen Master's triangle tactics found a more suitable starting point from Kobe and Gasol.

Kobe planned to break through Zhong Yu, he leaned against Zhong Yu with his back, and then planned to turn around directly, push Zhong Yu away with his body, and then directly accelerate or jump shot.

This is also Kobe's trick.

It's just that he was wrong. He originally thought that Zhong Yu's physical strength was still the same as before, so he didn't pay much attention... Who knew that the boy's strength had improved a lot when he bumped into Zhong Yu's body.

Kobe was a little flustered for a while, and the ball was almost intercepted by Zhong Yu.

After adjusting his mind, Kobe quickly changed direction and broke through from Zhong Yu's left, but Zhong Yu followed Kobe firmly with his speed and strength.

As a result, the two got entangled near the free throw line. Kobe saw that the time had dragged on for a long time, so he lifted his legs off the ground and leaned back.

He can shoot in situations that seem impossible. Although Kobe and Hei always sneer and say that Kobe still has a technique of forcing shots, Kobe's jump shots are indeed accurate.

"Shua!" The basketball got into the basket.

Kobe and Zhong Yu's technical styles are very similar, and his jumper is also very beautiful. This turnaround jumper also made many people applaud secretly.

After a lot of tempering, Kobe's technology has indeed matured.
