Chapter 19: Breaking Zero

Quietly, the first round of the playoffs between the Rockets and the Clippers has reached Game 7.

At this moment, Paul, with murderous intent, was staring coldly at Jeremy Lin in front of him, quietly observing the other four of the Clippers running urgently under the basket.

"Aren't you already out of Team Rocket? Why is it still here? Paul asked coldly.

"That's a lot of nonsense, but your team is about to roll out of the first round, don't you see the score?" Jeremy Lin said with a sarcastic smile.

"Well, it's just the beginning of the third quarter, and you're going to go back to the bench right away, don't you think it's sad?" Paul glanced at Wang Yu, who was preparing for activities on the sidelines, and sneered: "You are so willing to be a shadow starter? ”

"So what? Didn't you take advantage of me as a shadow starter? Jeremy Lin was unmoved, as if he had been a few weeks earlier.

"Okay, I'll show you if I can cripple you."

As soon as the words fell, Paul suddenly made an exaggerated change of direction, and immediately squeezed through Jeremy Lin's defense, and rushed straight to the inside line like a bullet.

"It turned out to be just a piece of rubbish..."

Such an easy breakthrough made Paul's heart coldly ridicule Jeremy Lin's defense.

But when he looked up, Paul couldn't help but be slightly startled. Howard, who was guarding the inside, did not react in the slightest in the face of his straight shot to the basket, and still resisted Jordan, who was responsible for his defense.

Paul had already made a decision, and immediately jumped straight up on the edge of the three-second zone, and instantly threw the basketball in his hand towards the hoop.

"The shadow starter is really rubbish."

Looking at the basketball that was about to be shot, Paul smiled smugly in his heart. But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped behind him, and the next moment, a giant palm slammed the basketball that Paul had just thrown out of his hand.

"Run..."

With a roar, Howard, who grabbed the basketball, threw it to the front court with a long throw. Paul turned his face to see that Harden had already rushed to the half of the court that his side was guarding at this moment.

"Back to defense..."

Anthony, who had already killed the red eye, desperately chased after Harden like crazy, but still did not prevent Harden from ending the defensive counterattack with a violent dunk.

"How? Waste can also cover your hat. ”

Jeremy Lin reached out and patted Paul, who was standing in place, and laughed quietly: "This is the second time I've covered your hat, how does it feel?" ”

"Fuck off."

Paul pushed away Wang Yu's hand on his shoulder and roared, "Do you fucking want to die? ”

Looking at Paul with an angry look on his face, Wang Yu smiled faintly, and then fell heavily to the floor under the gaze of the referee and all the players on the field with his push.

Hush...

The unknown referee saw the players on both sides surrounding Paul and Wang Yu who fell to the ground one by one, and immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.

"Red No. 3 foul off the ball..."

The referee made a technical foul gesture to the technical table, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Paul in the field.

"Are you blind, where did I commit a technical foul, he provoked me first, didn't you see it? …”

The thunderous Paul yelled at the referee, if it wasn't for his teammates holding him up, he was very likely to beat the referee violently.

"Hands up, quick..."

The referee desperately restrained the anger in his heart and shouted coldly at Paul.

"I just don't raise my hand, what can you do to me..."

Paul, who has lost face in this series, has lost his mind a little at the moment, and still refuses to keep his mouth shut in the face of the referee's intimidation.

Just when the referee couldn't bear it anymore and was about to blow the whistle for Paul's second technical foul, Clippers head coach Doc Rivers immediately ran up to the front and hugged the referee. The anger on the referee's face subsided a little after a smile and reassurance, and Paul returned to the bench under the repeated reassurance of his teammates.

"Well done."

Wang Yu glanced at Paul, who was sitting on the Clippers bench with an angry face, smiled and stretched out his hand to high-five Jeremy Lin who walked to the sidelines.

"It's nothing, it's my strength." Jeremy Lin smiled faintly and walked straight to the bench.

Looking at Jeremy Lin's domineering back, Wang Yu smiled bitterly. Just then, the DJ in the arena called out his name. Wang Yu hurriedly gathered his mind and strode onto the court.

At this time, Wang Yu can already understand why Yao Ming struggled so much in the playoffs, starting from the first game of the playoffs, almost every shot or layup will have a fierce physical collision. If it were in the regular season, there would be a lot of actions that would be whistled for fouls, but here everything seems to be tacitly approved by the referee.

What makes Wang Yu even more depressed is that he did not usher in his own explosion in the playoffs like many excellent players, but his various statistics have dropped a lot compared with the regular season.

Until now, Wang Yu's average data in the first six playoff games is: 6 points, 8 assists, and 3 steals.

"Hey..."

Thinking of this, Wang Yu's heart couldn't help but sigh bitterly.

"Sigh what?"

Harden glared and patted Wang Yu's shoulder, and then smiled strangely: "Hehe, you haven't scored in tonight's game so far, don't bring a big duck egg back, haha." ”

"Less wordy..."

Wang Yu smiled bitterly and pushed away the gloating Harden, looked up at Paul, who was not replaced and was dribbling the basketball to the half, hurriedly gathered his mind and stood in his defensive position.

………

………

"Even if I lose the game tonight, I'm going to blow you up."

Paul gritted his teeth and passed the basketball in his hand, and immediately turned and ran to the side. Wang Yu was slightly stunned, and immediately followed Paul closely.

"You've been capped by Jeremy Lin for two hats, why are you still talking so much nonsense?" Wang Yu whispered with a smile.

"So what, I'll break out as soon as you're on the pitch anyway."

Paul suppressed the anger in his heart and sneered, "Didn't you notice that I had scored 17 points while you were defending?" ”

"So what, your team is still a lot behind right now, anyway." Wang Yu smiled indifferently.

"How many points do you get now?"

Paul turned around as he spoke, reached out to take the basketball from his teammates, and said, "You don't seem to have scored points yet, do you?" Wouldn't you feel ashamed? ”

"I'm a substitute, so it's normal to not get points." Wang Yu played a scoundrel and said with a smile: "The score you got is high, but don't forget that you have already made more than 20 shots..."

"I don't need you to remind me, I know for myself." Paul lowered his center of gravity sharply as he spoke, and immediately dribbled the basketball in his hand into the inside.

Although Paul chose to play Wang Yu with his back to his back, he really had no way to resolve it. Although he is about the same height as Paul, this guy weighs a lot more than himself, and what is more troublesome is the speed of this guy's shots, you have no idea when he will immediately turn around and jump to shoot.

In desperation, Wang Yu had to struggle to withstand Paul's powerful impacts behind him, but his body involuntarily retreated little by little.

"Let him in, I'll cover him."

Howard's domineering voice sounded behind him, and Wang Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still did not relax his close defense against Paul. Just as Wang Yu's heart flashed with distractions, Paul suddenly reacted.

Wang Yu was startled in his heart and hurriedly jumped high. But Paul chose to shoot backwards, and once again had to watch the basketball fly over his head and towards the hoop.

Swish...

With a crisp sound, Paul clenched his fists tightly, and immediately turned and ran towards his own side.

"Wang Yu, you can only consume more of his physical strength if you open the attack, otherwise you won't be able to prevent him at all."

Harden walked up to Wang Yu, who had his head down, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "While we are still a lot ahead, you hurry up and find your feel, and we will pass the ball to you as soon as we have the opportunity." ”

"Okay."

Wang Yu smiled and nodded heavily, reached out to take the basketball from the bottom line, and immediately rushed over with his teammates.

Harden's meaning Wang Yu naturally understands very well, if he can't open up the situation on the offensive end, the Clippers' Paul will put all his attention on the offense, and in the long run, not only will the momentum of his side be affected, maybe the Clippers will soon catch up or even overtake the score.

Thinking a lot in his mind, Wang Yu immediately handed the basketball into Harden's hands just after halftime, and he turned around and ran outside the three-point line in the bottom corner.

"What, do you still want to cast in Lang?"

Paul hugged Wang Yu tightly and sneered: "Don't you forget, you have already made 0 of 7 shots, do you still need a chance to make a shot?" ”

"That's a nice thing to say, aren't you still nervous to death every time I shoot a shot? If you have a kind, don't jump up and try to cover it. Wang Yu sneered.

"You don't have to irritate me, I said I'd blow you up in this game." Unmoved, Paul remained firmly in his defensive position.

"Okay, then I'll try again and see if you can really up."

Wang Yu said and ran towards a forty-five degree angle, and although Paul followed closely, he still did not prevent the basketball from reaching Wang Yu's hands.

"If you have the ability, you can make a move..."

Glancing at Wang Yu's feet one step away from the three-point line, Paul said with a sneer. He didn't believe that Wang Yu, who felt cold tonight, dared to shoot in this position at this moment.

"Thank you."

Wang Yu knew that Paul would not jump up to cover himself this time, so he immediately adjusted his breathing a little as he spoke, and the next moment he violently raised the basketball and flew into the air.

"Idiot, you're not going to get in at all..."

Paul coldly ridiculed Wang Yu in his heart, and immediately turned around and shouted to the basket: "You won't score, pay attention to grab rebounds." ”

"Get in, get in..."

Standing in mid-air, looking at the almost perfect arc drawn by the basketball, Wang Yu prayed silently in his heart.

Swish...

In the crisp sound, Wang Yu clenched his fists excitedly. This shot not only allowed him to score for the first time in this crucial game, but also allowed him to shoot the first shot in six consecutive three-point shots.

"Ahh

Wang Yu, who was excited, ran back to the half court and screamed again and again. His teammates were also very happy for him, and immediately patted him on the head and shoulders one by one.

This meaningful three-point long-range shot not only made the players of the Rockets excited one by one, but also made the fans who had been worried about Wang Yu immediately let go of the boulder in their hearts.

Roar...

Roar...

The excited crowd shouted frantically, as if they had seen the final result of the game at this moment, as if their team had already made it past the first round of the series.
