Chapter 280: The first quarter of the scuffle
The Hornets' morale was reinvigorated after a dunk and a three-pointer from Jongwook.
Especially on both sides of the court, all the fans chanted the names of the Hornets and the names of every player, which gave them enough motivation to fight for the victory.
Paul assisted on West's jumper and then he assisted Peja for two points as the Hornets went on a 5-0 offensive run again.
The score situation became 11-10, and the Hornets were only one point away.
In today's game, from the current point of view, after the Magic team suddenly hit a three-pointer before the game, although the shooting percentage was high before, it slowly decreased after that.
And the Hornets, after Zhong Yu scored consecutive points, suddenly became hot. Their hand was also in this game, and the more they played, the better they played, and Paul's passes were converted into assists again and again.
With four minutes left in the first quarter, the score was 15-15, the Hornets had just tied the game, and the ball was now in the hands of the Hornets.
The players of the Magic team gave it their all, and just now the players of the Hornets have equalized, and now the ball is still in their hands, and the ball is in the hands of Zhong Yu again.
Jongwook has indeed caused displeasure among the entire Magic team.
Because he is always able to score in the most critical moments, many of the seemingly good situations of the Magic team have been ruined by him.
Now, the ball is in the hands of Zhong Yu again, which has to be highly valued by the players of the Magic team. Bogans, who was on the outside, was even more nervous to follow Zhong Yu's side, ready to defend Zhong Yu's sudden jump shot anytime and anywhere, and the distance between him and Zhong Yu was slightly closer.
Once the distance with Zhong Yu is shortened, Zhong Yu's speed will be able to fire at full power, which is something that cannot be helped, and it is also an insurmountable place for the opponent to defend him.
Zhong Yu used a change of direction to accumulate a lot of energy, and then, he transported the left hand side to the right side at once, this speed is like the speed at which the afterimage of lightning in the retina dissipates in the retina in a moment of lightning, too fast! Zhong Yu's speed has been raised to the highest, and he has directly passed Bogans.
Bogans felt humiliated, after all, he was taller than Zhong Yu, but Zhong Yu was like a play...... This is indeed a damage to his self-esteem.
That's what this alliance is, though.
Zhong Yu just broke through, Bogans had no way to defend, and then Howard rushed up, Zhong Yu still has a lot of ways to deal with Howard...... For example, this one!
He jumped up directly, his body collided with Howard in the sky, and the moment the two people's bodies collided, Zhong Yu received the rebound force and bounced out, and then he stabilized his body in the sky, and his hands completely found his direction in the sky, and shot directly.
"Huh!" Zhong Yu's jump shot, this ball, it can be said that he scored two points from Howard's head, and this is because the referee did not give Howard a defensive foul, otherwise Howard may be even more tragic now.
Jongwook scored two more points, and the score has now been overtaken by the Hornets! Today, after the crazy three-point rain at the beginning, the Magic team is now completely low in shooting percentage.
The Magic players are looking a little bit wrong right now.
However, the roar of the fans is getting louder and louder, Zhong Yu is really the sharpest sword of the Hornets, and it is the sting of the Hornets that can hit the opponent the most hard and tear apart the opponent's defense.
"Fight back! Counterattack! "The Magic's Nelson possessed the ball through half court while still shouting and directing the team to start getting into position.
The Hornets started to defend, and now, the Hornets have different defensive tactics from before, and now they mainly defend the perimeter, cutting off the connection between the inside and outside of the Magic team, and not letting their outside shooters keep shooting.
"Smack!" The moment Howard passed the ball to Tekoglu on the perimeter, Paul jumped out of the air and grabbed the basketball from the sky, and the Hornets immediately launched a counterattack.
"Damn! Catch up with them! Howard shouted, anger written on his face, indeed, another steal from Paul, did give him a feeling of being too deceitful...... Now the Magic team has been overtaken, and they are still attacking.
Paul grabbed the basketball, jumped up, and in the sky, threw the basketball out directly, all the way to the position near the midfield, and Zhong Yu happened to receive Paul's pass.
Indeed, the tacit understanding between the two people has been fully established...... For example, with the current ball, he can easily receive a ball from Paul.
As soon as Zhong Yu received the pass, he killed it in the half court, and his speed decreased when he controlled the ball, and he did not go to his own area, and the speed superposition was not displayed. In this way, Zhong Yu was about to be caught up by the players of the Magic team, but he came to the third area outside the three-point line, and his speed increased in vain!
The whole person, quickly entered the inside line, directly shook off the defenders who caught up, and came to the basket, and immediately a fierce one-handed split!
Zhong Yu's dunk may not be as domineering as James and Howard, but there is a unique temperament in his dunk, as if he shuttles through the void at the moment of dunking, giving people the illusion of time and space.
"Good shot!" Zhong Yu's dunk once again detonated the entire Hornets audience. Now, they really saw the Hornets in full form, playing magic, although they experienced a little helplessness at the beginning, and seemed a little at a loss in the opponent's continuous three-point shots, but soon they found their own position and their own style of play, especially Zhong Yu, one by one slam dunk, one by one three-point shots, proving their existence.
The Hornets opened the gap to 4 points in this way, and after Zhong Yu's dunk, the morale of the Hornets was shocked in vain, and the morale of the entire Magic team is now declining.
Next, the Hornets hit another three-pointer from Peja, and on the Magic's side, they only hit one of two free throws after Howard on the inside made a foul - the monster also seems to have inherited the shortcomings of the big shark - and the free throw percentage was not very high.
Then, the ball was back in Jongwook's hands again.
In the audience, morale was boosted, and every fan was cheering wildly for their team. Now, the ball is in the hands of Jongwook, and the entire Magic team is going all out to prepare to defend Jongwook.
When the Magic's defenders were going all out, they set up a line of defense on the inside and outside, and such a defensive line was also laid out for Chung Yu.
Zhong Yu controlled the ball, outside the three-point line, stopped his steps, and while controlling the ball, he was ready to observe the defensive position on the inside, which was not suitable for him to force a breakthrough now.
"Bang! Bang! After two consecutive crotch controls, Zhong Yu flashed to his left, and the basketball instantly came to the right, and then, the whole person was completely improved to the highest speed. Zhong Yu forcibly broke through in an instant!
"Another breakthrough!" Bogans felt powerless because he couldn't defend Jongwook's speed on his own.
However, Jongwook had just come to the free throw line, tricking Bogans into taking a step back...... Zhong Yu's whole person took a big step back in an instant, and the basketball received it in both hands!
Sell! Jumper!
"Huh!" Jump shot hit!
Jongwook scored three points.
It's another three-pointer!
The players of the Magic team, including the head coach of the Magic team, were furious, and Zhong Yu's score was a complete provocation for them. However, what makes people feel helpless is that the Magic team seems to have really exhausted their three-point character at the beginning of the first quarter of the game, and Lewis's three-point shot from the outside is out again! Then, the ball was back in the hands of the Hornets.
Paul finally didn't give this ball to Zhong Yu, maybe he also wanted to come by himself.
Paul's breakthrough is still difficult to defend, and the Magic team tried their best to defend Paul, ignoring Zhong Yu for the time being...... By the time they found out, Chung was already outside the three-point line, and this time, Chung was outside the bottom corner three-point line on the left wing.
"Guard against him!" The Magic players, Lewis, who was closest to Jong-wook, chased after him and prevented Jong-wook from shooting a three-pointer - he had already witnessed the horror of Jong-wook's three-pointer. Before this, no matter how gorgeous Zhong Yu's stats were, people said how accurate his jump shot was, but after all, that only existed in other people's descriptions, but in this game, Lewis really saw the accuracy of Zhong Yu's jump shot with his own eyes.
For this precision, Lewis jumped up and prepared to cover Jongwook's shot, but what he didn't expect was that Jongwook was just a feint......
Zhong Yu's Lewis jumped up, then put away the basketball in an instant, lowered his center of gravity, and broke through directly to the bottom line!
Howard had no choice but to come up and defend, when the players were tall, the court looked a lot smaller, and now Howard rushed up to defend Zhongyu, and it was just a matter of a moment, because the court was small compared to their height.
It's just that in the face of Howard, Zhong Yu has no melancholy.
He changed the basketball to his right hand, the whole person has put away the basketball, he also used this action, deceived Howard, flashed him, and then, he took a step forward, he has reached the maximum speed, at this time, he jumped high, the speed is fast, and the bounce looks very good!
"It's over......" The Magic players lamented in their hearts, sure enough!
――――
"Bang dang!" Zhong Yu instantly came to the other side of the basket, and at the moment when the bounce power reached its peak, his right hand was picked up in front of him, and the basketball was directly slammed into the basket!
In this slam dunk, Zhong Yu connected two people, and then successfully reached the basket!
The whole process is very fast.
This is also because Zhong Yu is here, opening the first stacking effect of his fourth area.
