runaway point guard

Chapter 378 What this game is about is destruction

"Snapped!"

The jump ball was won again by the Hornets.

Paul moved the ball up the frontcourt, and the Jazz came up very carefully to defend, and they were still man-to-man.

At this moment, Zhong Yu suddenly directed everything inside!The speed was so fast, Paul also controlled the ball to break through inside at this moment, then pulled it back, and stopped the ball again on the outside.

Zhong Yu cut into the inside, then suddenly ran back, and then accelerated head-on, making it impossible for Brewer to catch up with him. He bypassed Collins on the inside and came to the other side of the basket.

"Whoosh!" Paul's pass flew out in an instant.

And Zhong Yu had already taken off at this moment, he caught Paul's pass in the sky, and then gliding towards the basket!

"boom!"

After the dull dunk sound, Zhong Yu dunked the ball into the basket.

"nice shot!"

The fans in the entire arena hardly expected that the Hornets' first ball was so hot.

Zhong Yu's dunk directly ignited their atmosphere.

The Jazz saw that Zhong Yu's first ball was so hot, and wanted to return one. Otherwise, the Hornets would take the lead, and with Paul, a person who can control the rhythm, they would really have a hard time choosing.

Deron had the ball in half court, and then started playing with Boozer.

With Boozer's pick-and-roll, Deron entered the inside line. Originally, he saw that there was still a road under the basket that seemed to be able to rush in and dunk directly.

But when he took a closer look, he found Zhong Yu staring at the side. Thinking of how fiercely this kid beat Boozer in the last game, he could only put away this thought.

Deron passed the ball to Boozer and let Boozer make a jumper near the free throw line. Boozer missed the shot and Zhong Yu grabbed the rebound.

"Give them back one!"

Zhong Yu dribbled the ball across half court by himself. Paul and the others settled down respectively. Paul stood outside the three-point line, at a 45-degree angle.

The inside also has Chandler and West forming horns, and Peja is near the baseline.

This is also an offensive tactic of the Hornets. Zhong Yu looked at the supply and demand, raised his right hand and looked like he was going to break through directly, but he sped up immediately after shaking his body slightly.

The whole person accelerates in a straight line.

Once Zhong Yu's speed started, it was difficult to stop him. He broke through to the bottom line, but at this time, the Jazz pushed him directly to the bottom corner.

The bottom corner is a very ambiguous place. It is difficult for him to continue to break through, it is also difficult to retreat, and it is not very good to force the shot angle.

Moreover, the opponent's defensive player is in the bottom corner, and the area of ​​​​a player that needs to be defended is much smaller.

Pushing Zhong Yu to the bottom corner is also a way for many teams to defend him.

Moreover, they are still blocking Zhong Yu's passing route.

But after Zhong Yu jumped up, he still opened up his vision. He passed the ball to the outside. Paul received the pass and passed it directly to Peja near the bottom corner. Peja made a three-pointer.

bingo!

5-0, the Hornets used this start and finished the first minute of the game.

The Jazz continued to attack.

In the last game, they were very unwilling to lose... because until the very end of the game, the Hornets were still behind.

After that, Zhong Yu suddenly scored 8 points in a row, and Paul's consecutive scoring allowed the Jazz to ruin the victory.

So after they played the game, they also gained a lot of confidence-of course the Hornets are not that scary.

They have a good chance of winning.

But today's start is not good for them.

In this attack, Deron played very patiently. He didn't pass the ball to Boozer until the end of the 24-second attack time.

With Boozer's mid-range shot, the Hornets began to fight back.

With a score of 5-2, the Jazz are still at a disadvantage.

This ball, Paul came by himself, Zhong Yu gave him a pick-and-roll, Paul followed the space that Zhong Yu opened up for him, dodged into the inside, and then made a fallback jumper, and there was a basketball.

7-2.
This is the same as the start of the last game. The Hornets also played very well at the start of the last game.

It was only later that the Jazz seized some opportunities and began to overtake.

That's the case, so the Hornets still have to keep a close eye on their lead.

However, this game is definitely not a repeat of the last game. In the first half of the first quarter, the Hornets firmly held the score advantage.

Until 6 minutes left in the time, the score was 17-9, and the Hornets scored high.Moreover, they now maintain an 8-point lead over the Jazz.

The Jazz called a timeout, and the situation was not good.

The Hornets should have fully recovered in this game. Zhong Yu has scored 8 points so far. The score is very high, and several other players have also scored.

If the Hornets' touch is really restored, it will be a huge threat to the Jazz.

In the last game, the Hornets didn't recover their touch until the last moment of the game, but they also won the game. If they had a touch at the beginning of this game, they would have to beat the Jazz guys out ?

The Jazz players are a little anxious.

In a hurry, they began to counterattack, but the Hornets played very stable and efficient in this game.

It was another counterattack. Deron of the Jazz had possession of the ball for half court, and then he planned to directly control the ball and insert it inside, but at this moment, Zhong Yu rushed over from him. Deron was worried about being intercepted by Zhong Yu, and the ball stopped Living.

Afterwards, he passed the ball to Collins on the inside, and Chandler who was next to Collins caught up at once, and the whole person enveloped him.

Collins passed the ball to Deron again, and the basketball circled around and still came to Deron's hands. He could only organize an attack, but the attack time was obviously not enough for him to reorganize a tactical attack.

Deron had no choice but to break through by himself, barely making a shot in front of West—worried about being blocked.

The basketball bounced out of the basket, and the Hornets fought back. Zhong Yu controlled the ball for half court, and then passed the ball to Paul. Under the cover of Zhong Yu, Paul went inside. He threw it high, and then threw it directly into the basket.

The Hornets completed a defensive counterattack, and the ball returned to the Jazz. The Jazz managed to complete an offense this time.

Then the Hornets also hit...

That's what happened next. The Jazz spent a lot of effort trying to regain the lead, but the Hornets didn't let them succeed.

"Shua!" At the last moment of the first quarter, Paul broke through and dodged several blocks, and made a layup from a place deep under the basket.

Paul's buzzer-beater layup capped the first quarter with the Hornets leading.

36-28, the Hornets dug an 8-point hole for the Jazz at the end of the first quarter. This situation is by no means good news for the Jazz.

"Good job..." Scott shouted to everyone when the players had just left the field. They really did a good job in this quarter.

Not just high scores, but they are ahead of their opponents by that much, which is the most important thing.

Now that the game is here, the situation has begun to become clear.

On the Internet forums, many people also started to discuss it.

"The Hornets played very strong today! They scored 36 points in the first quarter, leading the Jazz by 8 points."

"It seems that the Hornets are going to make a big deal today. They really need to break out in this game...to save people from saying that their strength still has problems..."

"The Hornets really want to prove themselves with high scores and win as soon as possible today...to wash away some people's comments about them in the last game."

"But they can be considered a big deal..."

…………

There was a lot of discussion, and at the home court of the Hornets, the cheers of various audiences surrounded everyone's ears.

Because of the first quarter, the Hornets played very well.

In this quarter, Zhong Yu scored 14 points and 2 rebounds alone, and Paul also scored 8 points and 4 assists. The two teamed up to score 22 points, accounting for most of the points scored by the Hornets.

Zhong Yu's touch also fully recovered in the first quarter. His 14 points were scored by two three-pointers and four two-pointers, without free throws.

In other words, he has already scored 14 points with goals in the first quarter.

And in this quarter, he made a total of 8 of 6 shots, and his shooting percentage was also very high, returning to his normal level.

Such a Hornets, of course, gained a very strong combat effectiveness. With a high score of 36 points, they pushed the Jazz into a corner at once.

The game is about to start, and the second quarter of the game between the Hornets and the Jazz will be played in this situation.

"Although we gained an 8-point lead in the first quarter..." Scott said: "But we must not take it lightly. I don't think everyone will forget that there were some twists and turns among us in the last game. The Jazz Suddenly overtook us, and if we hadn't maintained our rhythm in the last quarter, we might have lost the first game of the playoffs."

"And the twists and turns appeared in the second quarter... So, for the next quarter, we need to deal with it well, and we must not take it lightly."

In fact, Zhong Yu and the others also knew about this, and they didn't want to bury the root of the disaster.

Not only did they want to win this game, but they also wanted a crushing victory without too many obstacles.

Therefore, they don't want to see the twists and turns in this section.

Paul played with a substitute, and the Hornets really wanted to win the second game of the series with a more determined victory.

The Jazz also sent Deron, and both point guards fought a battle with their substitutes.As a result, it was discovered that the Hornets' substitutes led by Paul were able to explode into a very powerful combat force. The defense formed by Ariza, Evans and Thomas on the inside prevented the Jazz's front line and even power forwards from crying. no tears.

In this way, Deron can only fight alone.

Not only did the Hornets not have the last incident in the second quarter, but they also opened up the score before the main force arrived, and the main force continued to open the score with a steady offense.

At the end of the first half, 64-51, the Hornets have achieved a 13-point lead.
