Chapter 281: Zhong Yu has unsealed more areas
In the past matches, Jongwook has scored enough points, and with these points, he has unlocked many areas.
In the first area, there is no stacking effect for the time being, in the second area, he has now completed the stacking of the assist effect in this area, and in the third area, he has completed the stacking of defensive effects, where it is often difficult for opponents to avoid Zhongyu's defense if they want to shoot three-pointers.
In the fourth area, Zhong Yu has also superimposed the first stacking effect, which means that he has gained enough breakthrough ability here.
And Zhong Yu has also unsealed his sixth region.
The position of the sixth area is not too critical, this area, for Zhong Yu, the most important thing is that he has unlocked the other half of his three-point line, and then he will gradually unblock all these areas, in these areas, Zhong Yu will gradually be able to obtain a full range of scoring ability.
Moreover, after the gradual unsealing of so many areas, Zhong Yu's physical fitness has also undergone improvement again and again. First of all, his speed is faster than before, and even if you don't count the stacking effect, his speed is already top-notch. Secondly, Zhong Yu's strength is more abundant than before.
This is reflected in the offense, he is always able to use absolute speed to pass the opponent when the opponent is unable to react, and then, at the moment of dunking, his power will explode instantly!
Then, there is a powerful dunk.
In addition, many of his physical qualities, such as physical coordination and flexibility, have also increased significantly with the lifting of more and more regional blockades.
This is the ability of Zhongyu now.
The game is over!
The score situation between the two sides was 29:23, and the Hornets led the Magic by 6 points into the second quarter! This game, before the start, basically everyone's prediction is that the Hornets can beat the Magic, but the process of beating the Magic team may not be so simple, from now on, the Magic team in the first half of the first quarter of the game, the three-point line crazy outburst, to the Hornets hit a wave of points**.
But after that, they were not so lucky.
The Hornets' counterattack made the Magic feel at a loss.
"We did a good job in the first quarter!" Scott shook his arm and continued, "I've already said important surnames in this game...... This is the first Christmas battle that our team has participated in, and whether we can perform well or not depends on us! Rely on everyone, rely on the hope of basketball in this city. Second quarter, guys, keep trying. ”
Zhong Yu and Paul chatted for a while: "The Magic's three-point shooter group...... Looks pretty good. ”
Paul took a sip of Gatorade, nodded and said, "It's not bad, but we Hornets also have our own group of shooters, and we have enough ability to launch our own counterattacks." ”
Zhong Yu nodded, the Hornets and the Magic, the current situation is completely different. The Hornets are now basically putting their offensive focus in the hands of Zhong Yu, and most of the offensive focus is also on the outside. However, the Hornets' outside offense is focused on the shooting guard position, which is not the same as the Magic's shooter base.
After all, the Hornets are far superior to the Magic in the No. 1 and No. 2 positions.
The head coach of the Magic team is Stan. Van Gundy, this guy is more interested in finding a way to balance offense and defense, and he is also trying to do it. Now, though, the Magic have a problem -- there's a chance to score, whether it's Nelson, or Turkoglou, or Lewis...... will be waiting on the outside.
However, when it comes to defense, they often don't do it......
Especially Nelson, this guy always wants to do the job of a point guard and a small forward at point guard. Now, Van Gundy saw that the Magic team only experienced a brief boom in the first quarter, after which the outside line was blown up by Zhong Yu, and he was also angry and shouted, "Guys! What kind of game do you think you're playing? I'd say, we're in the Christmas war now! Basketball fans all over the world are focused on us...... But what kind of situation are they waiting for now? The outside line was blown up by that Chinese kid...... This is not possible! ”
The words "the outside line was blown up by Zhong Yu" drilled into the ears of the players of the Magic team, and it was not so comfortable.
It's a matter of dignity for a team, and they're people with dignity...... Suddenly, the eyes of this group of people gradually erupted with angry flames.
Seeing this, Van Gundy knew it was time to move on to the next step.
He continued: "So, our main task going next is to keep the Hornets offensive...... At the same time, look for opportunities to play defensive counter-attacks. Jongwook is a very key person, and he needs to be taken care of......"
The tone for the Magic team was gradually set, and the game officially began in the second quarter.
The Hornets' bench, in the league, may not be top-notch, but it's outstanding.
Facing the Magic's bench, the Hornets played neither humbly nor arrogantly. The most important thing about the Hornets bench now is to play very steadily, convert offense and defense, and have full skills.
The Magic's bench is a little weaker, and under the Hornets' defense, their firepower is even weaker.
"Smack!" The outside Magic player broke through and was taken down by Evans with a big hat, and then, the Hornets began to counterattack, Paco passed the ball to Ariza, and Ariza finally had a flash of inspiration this time and hit a three-point jumper!
The Hornets scored two more points!
This is just a microcosm of the start of the second quarter, as the Hornets played a lot of defensive counter-attacks against the Magic, and the Magic were miserable.
Seeing this situation, Van Gundy could only immediately send his main lineup, and it was time for the main lineup of the Magic team to play again.
"That's it! Defeat these arrogant Orlandos! In the audience, the shouts shook the sky, and where many family groups were, children were desperately waving flags and cheering for the Hornets. Now, the score has become 37:28, and the Hornets lead their opponents by nine points.
Then, the main lineups of the two sides re-entered the game and collided again.
For the first ball, Paul handed the basketball to Jongwook.
As soon as Jongwook received the pass, Turkoglu came up, and now it was not Bogans who was defending himself, and Chung Wook felt a little strange - who was he planning to use Bogans to defend Peja? Just kidding, right?
Zhong Yu was going to pass the basketball to Peja, but at this time, Bogans suddenly floated over, Zhong Yu had to put away the basketball, and Bogans and Tekoglu began to stand by his side, while also taking care of Peja, it seems that the Magic team is ready to focus on themselves.
Jongwook made a feint to pass the ball to Peja, but actually passed the basketball to Paul, and Jongwook pulled two people over, which made it easy for Paul to break through Nelson under West's block and go all the way to the inside, and Howard didn't have much use for his defense...... He hit an easy layup and scored two points.
The Hornets' twin guns are like this, press down one, and the other can come out, and it's extremely difficult to prevent.
The Magic struggled to defend the Hornets' perimeter again, and the next ball, their outside three-pointer missed, and the ball was back in the hands of the Hornets. Paul handed the ball to Zhong Yu, and sure enough, the two sluts came up to defend again, Zhong Yu passed the basketball to Peja, Peja missed the three-point shot, and the people of the two teams rushed to grab the rebound, and Chandler pulled the lead and passed it back to Zhong Yu.
"Huh!" Jongwook hit a three-point jumper and scored another three-pointer.
After the timeout, the Hornets launched a 5-0 attack wave, and the score gap was extended to 14 points by the Hornets! It's already in double digits, and the Magic can't afford to spend their time there.
In the next few collisions, Zhong Yu was still affected by the bag clamp after all, under the bag clip, even a super fierce man like Jordan had to reduce the number of shots, otherwise his success rate was not high.
Jongwook also lowered the number of shots he took and passed the basketball more to his teammates.
As a result, Van Gundy found that although he adopted the method of trapping Zhong Yu, the fighting power of the Hornets did not weaken too much, because Zhong Yu is also very capable of passing, and can find the most suitable angle and strength to pass the ball to his teammates, so that his teammates can score......
"What a disgusting person." Van Gundy defined Jongwook in his heart, but he had no choice but to adjust his tactics to contain the Hornets' offense.
The Magic began to shrink their defense and shorten the defensive line, using this method to reduce the likelihood of leaks and reduce the extent to which the Hornets' passing damage to their defense.
This method didn't work, and Van Gundy didn't know it himself.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and Van Gundy can only test whether his arrangement is correct in practice. It's just that the facts quickly gave him a blow to the head - after shrinking the defense, Zhong Yu's defensive distance was also widened, and he took a step sideways from the outside, controlled the ball, moved directly to the top of the three-point line, and then jumped to shoot!
Both players didn't stop him either, and Jongwook's jumper hit another three-point shot for the Hornets.
Sure enough, the method of shrinking the defensive distance will also cause certain loopholes.
This section of the game came to an end with a whistle. Van Gundy did work hard for the team's victory, but, as everyone knows, his efforts did not get enough results.
At the end of the first half, the score was 54-39 ahead of the Magic.
The difference is 15 points! The Hornets are already 15 points ahead!
They are as strong as ever.
"The Hornets lead the Magic by 15 points at halftime! The Magic team was overwhelmed. ”
This is the end of the half, the official NBA website, the description of this Christmas fight. Indeed, the current Hornets and Magic, the current results, are somewhat different from what many people imagine - although most people also believe that the Magic may swallow the loss of the Christmas game in the face of the Hornets, who are quite strong at the moment. However, everyone also felt that the Hornets might have to go through a tough battle to barely beat this strong team at the last moment.
However, the situation now is that the Hornets have a 15-point lead over their opponents without much hard fighting. With 15 points at halftime, it is impossible for the Hornets to give their opponents a chance to turn around.
――――――
"Zhong Yu, at the end of the first half, you have scored 16 points, why do you think you can lead the Magic team by 15 points so quickly?" The reporters blocked Jongwook in the locker room and asked questions impatiently.
Of course, Zhong Yu couldn't refuse, and said, "This, probably because Santa Claus was on our side today and gave us gifts......
"So, what about the strength of the two teams? Dwight. Howard had a total of 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 7 points in the two quarters, and the Hornets' current lead has anything to do with him? ”
These reporters seem to want to stir up contradictions and create topics, but they don't have a good heart...... Zhong Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I think Dwight is a good player, he can control the game on the court. Including today, he did his best, he did enough for the team. It's only halfway through the game and the real outcome is not yet known, so I think there are some issues that we can save until the game is actually over and it will make more sense. ”
Hearing Zhong Yu say this, the reporters flashed after asking a few questions...... They also knew that there shouldn't be much to ask about Zhong Yu...... This guy's performance on the court may give people an almost flamboyant feeling, but he is actually very cautious, and when talking to reporters, his caution can obviously surpass that of some of his peers.
In the audience, it was now completely immersed in a happy discussion.
After the cheerleading dance had just ended, the Hornets had arranged some small shows for the audience, and now, several Santa Claus in Santa hats ran out to do all kinds of difficult actions on the basketball court and also handed out small gifts to the fans.
"Next!" A Santa Claus stood in the middle of the stadium and held up a microphone and shouted, "Our gift for everyone!" It's a star card signed by Zhong Yu himself! ”
This star card is made by the Hornets themselves, and there is a small set of cards, all of which are his cards, including photos of his life, photos on the court, and some promotional photos.
A total of 5 sheets, which may have a certain connection with his No. 5, there is Zhong Yu's autograph on the box, and then, the lottery begins!
"Give it to me! Give him to me! The fans shouted frantically, especially the fans of Jongwook, who were desperate to snatch what they felt belonged to them.
The atmosphere in the stadium has completely reached ** for a while.
The Hornets did a great job in the Christmas war.
In the midst of such a situation, the second half of the game for the Hornets is about to begin. The Hornets outscored their opponents by 15 points in the first half and now need to be stronger to maintain their lead and beat their opponents.
