The ninth minute after the start of Game 5 between the Hornets and the Lakers.

The score became 25-24, and the Lakers now have a one-point lead.

In the past, the Hornets relied on non-stop blocking and maintaining a relatively high shooting percentage to chase the score back by one point.

Now, it's still the Hornets who control the basketball.

The basketball passed to the inside, and Chandler wanted to force Gasol, but Gasol stood up to Chandler and was extremely resolute.

Chandler didn't have a chance, and although Gasol had an ugly nickname of 'sister-in-law', in reality, this man's skills were very good and he was very good at judging defensively.

Chandler re-passed the basketball to Zhongyu's hands outside.

Zhong Yu's current defender is still Kobe.

After playing in the playoffs for so long, although Zhong Yu and Kobe Bryant haven't spoken much, they are really familiar with each other...... Bryant also knows a lot of Jong-wook's playing habits, and he is defending Jong-wook's left.

However, at this time, Zhong Yu waited a little for the help of his teammates.

If you want to break through by force, you may be successful, but it is quite physically demanding, and it is also easy to cause defense to the opponent, and sometimes it will also consume character.

So, with the help of Paul, Jongwook entered the inside line from Kobe's left-hand side. He's fast, and when he gets to the three-point line, his speed gets up again.

The men on the inside can only come up defensively, but they still have to take care of Chandler. Now Zhong Yu, the demon man's passing, also makes them feel very scared, so they must also take care of it, so that Zhong Yu does not use his pass to destroy the Lakers' defense.

Turning the opponent's attraction around, Jongwook succeeded, he changed his course slightly, stepped out of the second area, and then put away the basketball.

Deftly dodging, Zhong Yu let go of the heavy blockage of the inside line, and went directly to the basket not far from the basket and threw the basketball in a high arc.

The ball didn't cover it, and it flew into the basket obediently.

26：25！

Zhong Yu used a series of dazzling movements, floated into the inside, and then scored a layup.

The Hornets overtook the score! Seeing this, the Lakers also sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly organized a counterattack, Farmar hit a shot in the bottom corner, and the score became 26:28, and the Hornets fell behind by two more points.

The Hornets' offense started again, and the basketball still came to Zhong Yu's hands, and at this time, Paul often chose to believe Zhong Yu.

Of course, he is confident to hit or pass a good ball by himself, but if he lets Zhong Yu come by himself, the success rate is higher. This time, Zhong Yu did not stop, nor did he make any feints or preparations, but took the basketball to the three-point line at the moment when the opponent was not fully deployed.

Coming to the first area, the guys of the Lakers saw Zhong Yu menacing, and hurriedly sacrificed an inside killer to prevent him. At this moment, Zhong Yu's eyes instantly penetrated their defenses, so he jumped up and pretended to shoot.

Seeing that the Lakers' attention was almost attracted, Zhong Yu threw the basketball directly to the right, the basketball bounced on the ground, and after another beautiful ground pass, it came directly to Peja's hands at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line.

Peja, who received the pass, took a look at the current situation and did not hesitate to take off and shoot a shot. is neat, because Zhong Yu's ball is indeed passed in place, and it also avoids everyone's defense, so Peja's jump shot is quite easy.

"Huh!" Basketball hits.

Jongwook provided the second assist of the game, and he was quite eye-catching in the time of the game.

Of course, the eye-catching performance does look good in the eyes of the Hornets and his fans, but in the eyes of Lakers fans, this is quite a painful thing.

"How? How did they make them shoot three-pointers again. Some even complained about the Lakers: "We have to defend well and stop letting them mess around on the outside." ”

Yes, most of the Hornets' offense in the first quarter went to the perimeter, and fans can see that.

The Lakers put their offensive and defensive focus on the interior, while the Hornets put their offensive focus on the outside. It's also a way to cope, and from the current point of view, with the maintenance of the touch, the Hornets have done a good job of stabilizing the situation.

At the end of the game, the score was 35:33, and the Hornets led their opponents by 2 points into the second quarter.

In the first quarter just past, Zhong Yu scored 14 points alone, and by the way, he had 2 assists and 2 rebounds, and he performed quite well today.

It was precisely because of Zhong Yu's performance that the Hornets really withstood the Lakers' defense in the tactics of playing the outside, and caught up with the score in the first quarter.

Now, the fans present are quite emotional, but these emotions do not come from their excitement about the team's record...... It's an instinctive panic. Because they have a vague premonition that today's Lakers may have to beat their opponents and will not go so well.

The game also started after that.

After the start of this quarter, the two sides also sent their own bench lineups again, although the Hornets bench lineup is not strong, but there is no way, the main players need enough rest to do.

After thinking about it, Scott said to Zhong Yu: "Zhong Yu, is your physical strength okay?" ”

Zhong Yu knew what he meant, thought about it, and still nodded, although this game, so far, he has played 11 minutes and has hardly rested.

However, if Zhong Yu doesn't play now, it is very likely that the Lakers will seize this opportunity to turn the tables directly, and then the Hornets' previous various blocks and dismantlings, all kinds of outside shots, will become useless things.

Zhong Yu's play can allow the Hornets to establish a more stable outside scoring point, which is very important for the Hornets.

Seeing Zhong Yu on the court with a group of substitutes, Zen Master's brows furrowed again - if that was the case, his plan to rely on the efforts of the benches to help the Lakers build a relatively large lead should be in vain.

Zhong Yu came on the field with a substitute, in fact, his current physical strength is not too abundant, after all, he has been playing for eleven minutes before, if he is not a little tired now, it is really abnormal.

The Lakers' benches don't know what's wrong, anyway, they always feel a little numb when they look at Zhong Yu...... Because they all felt, and had already discovered and determined, that this Zhong Yu was not a good guy.

The first ball was in the hands of the Hornets.

It's 35-33 now, and it's the Hornets' offense.

Jongwook was outside the three-point line and received a pass from Paco.

As soon as they received Paco's pass, the Lakers' interior defense began to work in a more orderly manner, and they wanted to guard Chung Yu.

"Bang!" "Bang!" The basketball in Zhong Yu's right hand kept colliding with the floor and making a dull sound. Zhong Yu lowered his center of gravity, and then, he suddenly changed direction rapidly.

Vujasic, who was standing in front of him, was very nervous, and when he saw Zhong Yu's change of direction, he immediately came up to block it. It's just that Zhong Yu didn't pay much attention to his block, but continued to accelerate, and Vujacic could only quickly retreat, hoping to be able to pull away to block Zhong Yu.

But at this moment, Zhong Yu directly pulled the basketball to his left hand, and the speed was still unabated, and Vujacic could only watch Zhong Yu use this large change of direction to pass him, and quickly called the inside line to make up the defense.

Of course, the people on the inside line also came up to make up for the defense, but Zhong Yu played quite decisively at this time. He abruptly put away the basketball and slammed his body into their obstacles.

Then, ignoring the guys' surprised eyes and the whispers that came out of their mouths, Jongwook went straight to the place under the basket and threw the basketball over his head with his left hand.

And then hit with ease!

As soon as the game began, Zhong Yu contributed a very wonderful breakthrough, in the jungle composed of long people, Zhong Yu was like a ghost that could not be captured, and appeared under the basket in a blink of an eye.

Vujacic wanted to cover his face, but that was almost impossible because now he had no choice but to step up.

The Lakers began to fight back, and the Hornets didn't defend very well, and were beaten by the Lakers for a layup.

At 37:35, there is still a two-point gap, the Lakers are not much behind, but today is the home court of the Lakers, they changed places and fought again, only got the current results, in fact, there is nothing to be proud of.

The Hornets started to attack again, and the ball appeared in Zhong Yu's hands again, this time, Zhong Yu controlled the ball and hit it directly into the inside.

"Another breakthrough...... Kill me. The Lakers' interior players suddenly felt a little sad, because many of them still felt that there was no way to defend Zhong Yu at all.

Vujacic is also ready.

He also began to continue to follow Zhong Yu closely, not letting his breakthrough be too easy, but at the moment when he was ready, Zhong Yu suddenly stopped the basketball, stopped and retreated, all in one go!

Then, the others were already standing outside the three-point line, and at this moment, they were already very close to the basket, and Zhong Yu raised his hand quite easily to make a three-point shot.

"Huh!" There it is again!

Jongwook got another three points!

"It's a three-point shot...... the audience thinks that this Zhong Yu is really too hateful...... However, their exclamation was not over, the Lakers wanted to seize the time to play a fast break, but the fast break was not completed, but the rebound was snatched by Zhong Yu.

This gave the audience another reason to hate Jong-wook.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and Zhong Yu did not arrange it, but let Paco control the ball for half the court. Paco just got to the opponent's three-point line and passed the basketball to Jongwook.

Zhong Yu still did not hesitate, but outside the three-point line, he directly raised his hand and made a jumper.

"Huh!" Another three-point shot!

The fans of the Lakers were booing for a while, but their eyes were full of helplessness, a helplessness for Zhong Yu's score.
