Chapter Twenty-Five: Breaking the Record?
Only half of the game was left in the third quarter.
The score was 58-53
Scott, the head coach on the Hornets bench, walked around in a bit of a hurry, and finally couldn't help but call a timeout.
"Chandler, you and West are going to wrap Duncan from now on, he's already scored 20 points in this game, and he can't let him shoot anymore." Scott instructed, then turned his head to look at Chen Yu and said, "Chen, you go on the court, replace Stojakovic, it's best to be able to use your three points to open the situation." β
"Understood." Chen Yu nodded, and then began to take off his sportswear and prepare to play.
"Toot!"
A whistle blew, and players from both sides took the field.
The Hornets attack.
"Chen! Old! Old! β
The fans at the stadium cheered when they saw Chen Yu playing again, and his name was mixed with it.
After many consecutive games, Chen Yu has become the second most popular player in the Hornets after Paul.
"Paul, it's still my two most accurate positions, and if I run out of the open space, you pass the ball to me." Chen Yu said in Paul's ear.
βOKοΌβ Paul nodded, dribbling past half the court.
Chen Yu began to run, breaking free from Bowen's pursuit.
In one-on-one defense, Bowen's ability is very good, and his running ability is also first-class, and he has been selected as the NBA's most passionate defensive team eight times in his career.
"Man, don't be impatient, Bowen is the best outside defense master in the league, you have to take your time......" Paul saw Chen Yu panting a little quickly, and stepped forward and said: "Conserve your strength, if you want to get rid of Bowen's defense, you need a certain opportunity." β
Chen Yu nodded, "I see, thank you Paul." β
Paul smiled, patted Chen Yu on the shoulder and said: "Bowen's defense is not only a small move, he is the touchstone of the top swingman, if you have the strength to break through him, then congratulations, you will become one of the top small forwards in the NBA." β
Chen Yu understood Paul's overtone and smiled.
The Hornets attack.
In this round, Chen Yu did not run blindly, but stood on the flank and waited for the opportunity.
Bowen came up and said with a hippie smile, "Hey, baby, why don't you run away?" Do you feel like a weak child? Can't get rid of Dad's control? β
"Bowen." Chen Yu stared at Bowen's eyes and said, "Don't wait or say, you really make people feel annoying." β
"That just proves that you're weak and can't get out of my defense." Bowen sneered.
Chen Yu didn't pay attention to him, and began to focus on the transmission and changes of basketball on the court.
Finally, with eight seconds left in the attack time, Chen Yu found the opportunity in Paul's mouth, if the loach got into the middle of Ginobili and Wells!
Bowen was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after him, but because of the two people's blocking, he could only bypass them.
With this delay, Chen Yu completely got rid of Bowen and rushed to the position outside the three-point line on the right side.
Paul, as the league's top point guard, certainly won't miss this opportunity, and threw the basketball at Chen Yu with a fake shot.
"Smack!"
Chen Yu received the basketball, stepped on the position where the red light was shining, and turned around to shoot.
At this point, Bowen had already rushed over, but there was no time to block it.
"Bowen, a gift for you." Chen Yu in the air opened his mouth at Bowen, and then easily threw the basketball in his hand.
"Huh!"
The crisp voice is pleasant, Chen Yu made his tenth shot, and hit the eighth ball in a row!
βYesοΌβ Scott, who was on the bench, shook his fist excitedly.
The score between the two sides is 60-58, and the Hornets are only two points behind the Spurs!
"Hey baby, are you still satisfied with my shot?" Chen Yu sneered and mocked Bowen.
Bowen's face darkened.
Secretly raising a middle finger towards Bowen, Chen Yu ran back to his half.
"Chen Yu's shooting percentage is still high and scary, and he has hit eight three-pointers in a row in this shot." Yu Jia said in amazement.
Zhang Weiping operated the notebook with a solemn face, and after a while, he said excitedly to the camera: "If Chen Yu hits a three-pointer, it will tie the NBA record of nine consecutive three-pointers set by Kobe Bryant in the Lakers game against the SuperSonics on January 7 in the 02-03 season!" β
"What? Chen Yu is about to break the record? The host Yu Jia said in astonishment.
Zhang Weiping nodded and said: "That's right, now Chen Yu has hit eight, if he hits one, he can tie the record set by Kobe, and if he can hit two, he will break this record!" β
When the audience in front of the TV heard Zhang Weiping's words, they all became excited.
Hit nine three-pointers in a row!
This is Kobe's record! If Chen Yu can also catch up or even break it, it is conceivable how much of a sensation it will cause in the basketball sports circle in China and even the world in the future.
"Hey, bro." Paul walked to Chen Yu's side and said mysteriously, "Do you know you're going to break the record?" β
"Record-breaking?!" Chen Yu frowned suspiciously: "What record?" β
"Hit three points with nine consecutive balls!" Paul patted Chen Yu's chest enviously and added: "Kobe Bryant's record, if you break it in this game, I can tell you for sure, you are going to be on fire!" β
"Kobe Bryant......" Chen Yu muttered the name, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
There was one goal left to tie and two goals to break.
Chen Yu smiled confidently.
Consecutive hits are not difficult for him at all.
"Bowen." Parker walked behind Bowen and asked, "That Chinese is a little too demonic, and the three-point shooting rate is so high." If he shoots another three, you can ......"
With that, Parker made a push motion.
"Got it." Bowen nodded, and said with a dark face: "I will never let him score again." β
Spurs serve and attack.
The two teams went back and forth, and Tim Duncan was caught by Chandler and West and began to become invisible. The demon knife Ginobili began to slash wildly.
Manu Ginobili, who averaged 19 points and four assists per game this season, was his peak season.
If you only look at the data, it is inconspicuous, that is, the level of the main force of a strong team. But Ginobili's strength is completely impossible to measure in this simple statistic.
In a sense, Manu is the number one point of attack for the entire Spurs, and it's no exaggeration.
In 2002, Ginobili led Argentina to a victory over the unbeatable American Dream Team. It was in that game that many people really realized how strong the Spurs' sixth man, who had been hiding behind Duncan and Parker.
And today, it may have been Chen Yu's consecutive three-pointers that stimulated Manu, who made four shots at the end of the third quarter, including a three-pointer, and scored nine points! The score of the two teams was temporarily fixed at 71-62.
The third quarter ended.
