Chapter 57: Top 10 Ball Level Coordination
"Huh!" With the last five seconds left in the third quarter, Jongwook came back from the baseline instantly, and before Durant could defend it, Paul's assist followed.
Zhong Yu catches the ball and throws it.
Playing on the same team with the league's top point guards has an advantage, Zhong Yu basically just needs to run to the position he is familiar with, and then find an open space under the team's tactical system, so that Paul's pass will basically come. At present, Jongwook is far from being an offensive player with the ball, and he still relies on his teammates to assist.
With Paul, Jongwook's shots will be simpler, and all he has to do is maintain his hit rate. With Chung-wook, it has also become easier for Paul to find someone who can easily convert his passes into assists, and at the same time, Chung wook can also take more pressure off his side on the offensive end.
That's why Scott thinks the Hornets are on the verge of having one of the league's scariest backcourt combinations.
In front of this backcourt combination, the Hornets can be more aggressive against fast-attacking teams, and they can also avoid getting into the opponent's routine against opponents who like positional battles, which is quite meaningful for them.
In the final five seconds, Jongwook hit a jumper to give the Hornets a 15-point lead into the final quarter, and the balance of victory had tipped heavily in their direction.
"Hey, our team seems to be in trouble right now." Long-faced Jack feels very depressed now, because although Durant is working hard, the current Thunder is not the Thunder in four years after all, and many times it is powerless.
"Yes...... That damn rookie on the other side...... His hit rate was too high for us to guard against. Although the flat-faced Jeff refused to admit that they were bankrupt in despising Zhongyu's plan, they also began to admit the strength of the rookie on the other side.
"Damn, how can there be a player like this in the NBA?" Long-faced Jack looked indignant: "His damn hit rate, and his unguardable breakthrough...... How can this damn thing be on the body of a second-wheel show? Could it be that the uniforms of the other teams were stuffed with poop in their heads on the day of the draft? ”
"It's redundant to say anything now......" said Flat-faced Jeff, "but Kevin will grow up......"
At the end of the third quarter, it looked like the Hornets had won the game, although the dust had not yet settled, but it was not far from being settled. Everyone sat on the bench, and Byron Scott stood in front of them and began to explain the tactics, and everyone was a little tired.
Zhong Yu was also a little tired, he sat on the stool alone, wiped the sweat from his face with a towel, opened his mouth, and grabbed a cup of Gatorade with his right hand.
If it was in the past, when he was struggling in the dark bench, now he would have to bring drinks and towels to the old players. But now Zhong Yu is no longer as asked of him by the old players, and he doesn't dare to ask him like that. After all, the current Zhong Yu is no longer the Zhong Yu of the past, he has the head coach cover on him, and there are Paul and them in the players, of course, no one dares to trouble Zhong Yu.
On the other hand, in ordinary life, Zhong Yu has the humility of the Chinese, polite, and relaxed in dealing with people, and everyone likes him very much.
The game started in the fourth quarter, and Durant is really angry right now, which is not to say that he has been angry with Zhongyu, in fact, he is still a little angry with himself. Because in that second-round show, he felt a sense of oppression that annoyed him but had to face it.
A second-round show brings a sense of oppression to yourself? Kevin Durant is very reluctant to admit this, but he can't deny it, because the current Zhongyu has indeed brought a lot of pressure to himself.
It's just that the game just started, and one of his own jumpers went wide again.
The basketball flew out, Zhong Yu was seventeen feet away at the moment, he saw the trajectory of the basketball and quickly ran over. Because he was closest to the basketball landing point at this time, when he picked up his speed, the basketball was hugged by him from the air.
In this way, Zhong Yu got 6 rebounds in this game, which is also the highest rebound of his career. Jongwook has been scoring like crazy lately, but he hasn't shown much in rebounding and assists.
"Attack!" Jongwook passes the basketball to Paul, who immediately roars, and the Hornets and Thunder run back. Jongwook stood at the top of the arc and blocked the Thunder's point guard, and Paul seized the opportunity to sneak directly into the interior to score a layup.
"......" Durant was a little powerless when he saw this situation, because at this time he found that a cooperation seemed to be forming between Paul and Zhongyu.
This kind of combination is that Zhong Yu can shoot most of the basketball to give Paul an assist while also making the team's offensive power stronger, on the other hand, the combination of Paul and Zhong Yu can make the backcourt defense of many teams in the league fall into a different degree of chaos.
"This kid was lucky, he got a good point guard." Durant secretly cursed in his heart, and then thought, "But...... His strength is really good, otherwise he would not have been able to form such a combination. ”
At this time, the Thunder attacked again, and the basketball came back, and Paul handed the basketball to Jongwook after halftime. Jongwook controlled the ball, stood in front of Durant, and then spread his legs, left leg in front, and the basketball passed left and right through the crotch, jumping in the slap of both hands.
Durant really doesn't have a good way to break through Zhong Yu, and at this moment he can only kill it with all his might, wanting to use kraft candy to make Zhong Yu unable to advance. But at this time, Zhong Yu used a very real feint, and the moment the basketball passed through the crotch to his left hand, his body also shifted to the left.
Durant was deceived a little, a little stunned, and Zhong Yu seized the time to kill the inside. Durant didn't have time to defend, and Zhong Yu came to the front of several fierce players on the inside, and these people came up to defend, so that Zhong Yu was not sure to hit.
Just in time, he saw that Paul also cut into the inside line, so he passed the basketball.
At this time, Zhong Yu, outside those areas, still didn't dare to force the shot that he was not sure of. However, he has Paul's help, for example, now, Paul receives a pass from Jongwook, which is a rather terrifying threat to the Thunder.
So a couple of big guys switched the direction of the defense, and Paul heyed and threw the basketball above Zhong Yu.
"I'm not Chandler...... Zhong was depressed, but Paul's pass was just right, he received the pass comfortably in the air, and he couldn't dunk it, but he used the soft feel brought by Chinese bloodline to easily put the basketball into the basket, and at this moment the opponent's block was too late, and it was too late.
"Good shot!" Paul and Zhong Yu came over to high-five, and the cooperation between Zhong Yu and Paul can simply enter the top ten today.
Jongwook also scored 20 points, and in doing so, he scored more than 20 points in four consecutive games.
Such a second-round show is indeed almost impossible to find in the NBA.
