runaway point guard

Chapter 369
This game is about to start, and today's closing game is still played at the Hornets' home court.

When the game was about to start, the Rockets players found that they were almost overwhelmed by the overwhelming cheers of the audience on both sides.

Today is the last battle of the Hornets regular season this season.

Their record so far this season is still the strongest in the league, and they still have the best backcourt lineup in the league.

After being sick for two games, Zhong Yu seems to have recovered his peak state today. When he shot the jumper just now, his body was exhausted and he didn't feel sick anymore.

This kind of Zhong Yu can make the opponent feel unstoppable.

"Hornets! Come on!"

"Zhong Yu! Come on!"

"Assassin Queen Bee, blow up the Rockets!" The voices of the fans erupted wave after wave, everyone was cheering for the Hornets, Zhong Yu and Paul.

More than 1000 home players also came today, and their voices made the Rockets fans feel uncomfortable in their ears.

Since the rise of Zhong Yu, the Hornets have continued to explode, and more and more home fans came to watch the game.

This game is the final game of the Hornets this season, and fans will naturally take a good look at it.

The fans were even happier when they saw Zhong Yu.

…………

"The game is about to start! Director Zhang, which of the two teams do you think has a better chance of winning this game?" Yu Jia in the studio asked Director Zhang.

"From the perspective of the lineups of the two teams, the Hornets have an advantage in the backcourt. They may not be able to get more bargains inside, but as long as they stick to their previous game of fully mobilizing outside firepower, then It is more reasonable for the Hornets to win this game. What's more, now that Zhong Yu is back, although some people still suspect that his bad cold has not been completely expelled from his body, he will definitely not let him on the court. The Rockets are comfortable."

"That's the truth. So, what do you think the Rockets can do if they want to win this game?"

"This..." Director Zhang murmured and said, "Then we can only hope that Beast Artest or defensive expert Shane Battier can guard Zhong Yu...Maybe blocking Zhong Yu, the Hornets The game will not be so smooth.”

"However, to block Zhong Yu...it's almost impossible." Director Zhang finally said this.

The game is officially underway!

Both teams lined up their starting lineups:

Rockets: Artest, Brooks, Yao Ming, Scola, Battier.This lineup is actually pretty good. The inside line composed of Yao Ming and Scola can be said to be the best in the current league.

Hornets: Peja, Paul, Chandler, West, Zhong Yu.

The Hornets' lineup, of course, is the strongest lineup they can currently arrange.

Jump ball begins!Yao Ming did not jump higher than Chandler. The basketball was kicked out and hit Zhong Yu's hands. Zhong Yu swiped the basketball to Paul's side in the air.After Paul received the pass, he lowered the tempo and controlled the basketball to walk towards the half court.

"Defense! Organize your first defense!" Yao Ming shouted at everyone.

The current state of the Rockets...it is still possible to play with the wind, but if they are allowed to fight hard, they may not have that ability.

Battier followed Zhong Yu closely, and he didn't dare to relax Zhong Yu.

In this game, they all felt that to defeat the Hornets, they had to defend Zhong Yu and Paul.He was responsible for nailing Zhong Yu to death, Paul's side... Brooks' defense was extremely unreliable, and it was very likely that Paul would blow him out, so they would settle for the next best thing and want to completely block Zhong Yu.

Paul controlled the ball and broke through directly to the inside. Brooks did not completely guard him. Paul used his body to knock Brooks away, and then came to the bottom line, but he is not very easy to shoot here. Yao Ming blocked the shot.

So Paul threw his basketball out of the blue.

Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, but then Zhong Yu appeared at the point where Paul passed the ball. After receiving the pass, Zhong Yu didn't stop there, and just shot a jumper.

Battier also defended the ball very seriously. He sealed his right hand to only one or two centimeters away from the basketball, but there was still a little distance.

"Shua!" The basketball entered the basket very beautifully, and Zhong Yu scored the first two points for the final game.

The ball returned to the hands of the Rockets, and Brooks directly took possession of the ball to the half court, and then broke through.

This kid's speed is indeed there, and Paul didn't notice it for a while, and Xiao Bu broke through from Paul's side.However, some of Brooks' shortcomings that have been criticized by fans are now beginning to emerge.

It's just that Xiao Bu just broke through and entered the inside line, but the Hornets' inside line surrounded him and surrounded him.

Xiao Bu passed the ball to Yao Ming, but obviously, he had missed the best time to pass the ball. When Yao Ming picked up the basketball, Chandler had already pounced on it.

Yao Ming had no choice but to step back, and then made a mid-range shot, and the basketball bounced out with a bang.

The rebound was caught by Zhong Yu who just rushed in.

Director Zhang is obviously a little bit aggrieved: "Brooks often passes some balls like this... He clearly knows that Yao Ming has a height of 226 cm, but his passes are still so low... Yao Ming bends down to pick up the ball, and he also It's going to take a lot more time and effort ... I think Brooks really needs to raise some awareness of that."

Yu Jia also said: "It is indeed the case. His timing of this ball is also a bit problematic, but he is still young after all, and he needs to be given more confidence."

The ball returned to the hands of the Hornets. This time, Paul also began to break through Brooks. Facing Paul's breakthrough, Brooks didn't have much to do with him.

Paul broke through to a place near the free throw line, saw that Yao Ming was not here, and directly shot a throw.

"Shua!" Paul's throw also came.

4-0, the Hornets started with this score.

On the next ball, Xiao Bu still wanted to break through by himself. After the breakthrough, Chandler slapped him down for the layup, but the basketball that Chandler blocked was caught by Yao Ming next to him. Yao Ming got up and used a hook For the layup, Chandler didn't keep up with Yao Ming's reaction and could only watch the basketball fly into the basket.

Yao Ming took the lead and scored two points for the Rockets.

However, on the next ball, Paul broke through and destroyed the Rockets' defense. When Artest wanted to cover Paul from behind, Paul's pass suddenly ran out from his side and came to the perimeter. Peja hands.

Peja made a three-pointer directly.

"Shua!" There it is again!

7-2…

This wave of start of the Hornets made the Rockets a little bit overwhelmed and walked away.

A little more than 3 minutes into the clock, the situation of the Rockets was not optimistic. Brooks once again took possession of the ball and crossed the half court, but this time Artest wanted the ball. He then forced Peja and broke through.

He was blocked by Chandler in the paint. After Yao Ming gave him a pick and roll, Artest went deep and made a layup.

7-4.
In fact, Yao Ming and Artest have cultivated some tacit understanding. Maybe this kind of tacit understanding is not too great, but it can also cope with some situations.

Then, the Hornets attack.

The annoying Battier followed Zhong Yu's side, not daring to relax a little bit, after all, he was recognized by many in the league as a defensive expert.Zhong Yu also felt that he was really annoying by his side.

Of course, when he wanted to really get rid of this guy, he didn't have many worries.

For example, for the ball now, Paul passed the ball to Peja, Peja missed a three-pointer, Chandler caught the offensive rebound to allow Paul to reorganize the offense, Zhong Yu saw the inside line heading towards West, and immediately made a counterattack Ran suddenly ran out of the three-point line.

Sure enough, the moment he started, the insiders of the Rockets rushed up to defend West, and West immediately passed the ball to Zhong Yu.

After Zhong Yu received the ball, Battier also rushed forward, but Zhong Yu had already figured out a solution, and when he got short, his whole body accelerated completely.

Battier didn't react for a while, and he didn't have the speed of Zhong Yu. He could only watch Zhong Yu pass by him and came to the inside line. Yao Ming blocked Zhong Yu like a city wall.

Facing Yao Ming, Zhong Yu stopped suddenly, leaned against Yao Ming's body, and threw the basketball out with his right hand.

Yao Ming accidentally fouled like this, but Zhong Yu's basketball still flew into the basket.

"Shua!" The ball was hit very simply, and Zhong Yu scored another two points.

9-4!Moreover, the referee's whistle sounded immediately, and he was saying that Yao Ming fouled the ball.The cheers beside the basketball court formed an endless stretch following the whistle.

Zhong Yuqiang played Yao Ming, and two very popular Chinese players came here once, which really made them feel very good-looking.

Zhong Yu stood on the free throw line and hit the free throw very easily. In this way, he achieved a 2+1 and the score became 10-4.

"Cunning ghost..." Yao Ming said helplessly, but in exchange for Zhong Yu's heck of a smile.

People didn't understand what Yao Ming and Zhong Yu were saying, not to mention that they didn't speak English...not even Mandarin, but Shanghai dialect.

The match between the Rockets and the Hornets in the first quarter was not beyond everyone's expectations. The Rockets were indeed not the Hornets' opponents.

They are not vulnerable, but they really cannot resist the Hornets.

Both the Hornets' offense and defense made the Rockets unable to parry.

In this game, Zhong Yu, who came back after recovering from a cold, performed very well. He scored 9 points in the first quarter by himself.

The Hornets and Rockets were 29-22 at the end of the first quarter, with the Hornets leading the Rockets by seven points going into the second quarter.

The seven-point gap made the Rockets feel that today's situation is not good.

In this game, the Hornets firmly held the advantage.

Either as a whole or individually.
