Chapter 27: Provocation and Slap in the Face
In this game, the Hornets still came in close to 20,000 spectators at home. Before Paul came to the city, it was hard to imagine.
And today there are at least 300 or more Chinese, and the number of Chinese in New Orleans, and even in the whole of Texas, is not very large. It is not easy to have more than 300 Chinese today.
Zhong Yu's influence has indeed expanded a lot.
All kinds of news reports have made Zhong Yu's fame more and more famous. Zhong Yu's agent is not very good, and he has some fame in the United States, but although this person is not too capable, his heart is not so greedy, so Zhong Yu and he get along quite well.
"Zhong Yu! Zhong Yu! Zhong Yu! Come on. This was a shout from the Chinese seat. After these games, the Hornets' broadcast rate in China has increased a lot, which makes the Hornets owner suddenly realize that his team has a player with a huge background, and from the current point of view, this guy's performance has helped the team greatly, and Scott is not the first time to praise him in front of him.
"What a treasure...... If he can maintain this form, it is also necessary to reuse him. "It's true that a lot of people in New Orleans are thinking that way right now, and it's not just the Hornets uniforms.
Scott looked at Jongwook, looking at the big number five on his chest, planning about Jongwook's playing time today.
Against a team like the Suns, the Hornets can still be fast now. And it is also necessary to defend the opponent well, and the transition between attack and defense must be fast again and again, and the counterattack must also be fast.
Of course, you must also be prepared to play positional battles, as the so-called NBA has no weak teams, the Suns' defense is not too good, which is also relative, in fact, there are not many people in the Clippers who defend well.
Zhong Yu, a strong person like Zhongyu, may be able to exert his might in front of the sun, but he can't be counted on for the time being just if he breaks through.
"Young people still need to be trained well." Scott thought to himself with his hands folded.
The game officially started, and Zhong Yu was naturally placed on the bench, and now of course he has not mixed up with the starting position.
He sat on the bench and watched the game while recuperating his batteries. Since the superposition of the effects of the second skill in the first area has been completed, Zhong Yu's physical fitness has improved a lot, and the first thing to show is speed. After the superposition of speed several times, his speed in the NBA is about a third-rate level, and it is slowly approaching the second-rate level.
In addition, the body coordination surname has also been further increased.
Knowing that he can also try to break through in the future, Zhong Yu has also practiced ball control in the past few days. Originally, as a Chinese player, he did not perform badly in the basic skills of ball control, but it was still much worse than the top level of the NBA.
He'd seen Paul pass with two balls, and the pinnacle of quality was fascinating.
Today, he was waiting for a chance to try his skills.
Unconsciously, he and the previous kind of playing time almost regarded as his lifeblood, and now he gradually began to pay attention to other things. For example, my position in the team, how I feel with my teammates, and my contribution to the team, and occasionally I start to care about the team's results.
A lot of things don't matter anymore.
Now, a lot of things are slowly unfolding in front of him, and he is still far, far from completing his goal.
The game between the Clippers and the Suns was in a flurry of head-to-head shooting at the beginning, and the game had just begun, and both teams had frighteningly high shooting percentages. First of all, after a few exchanges, Nash deceived Paul at a 45-degree angle of a 2+1, Paul broke through the inside and hit a dunk, and with four minutes left in the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 23:20, and the Suns trailed by three points.
At this time, the two sides also began to change, Scott glanced at Peterson and Zhong Yu, and then said: "Zhong Yu, you go, the same as before, if you have the opportunity, don't hesitate." ”
Zhong Yu nodded: "I know, chief." "Peterson is a little disappointed, but this can't be helped, Zhong Yu's growth will compress his playing time, which is also no way.
Unless one of the two people is asked to play small forward, there are not too many people in the small forward position of the Hornets now, but judging from the current situation, Peterson is not tall enough, and Zhong Yu's style of play has almost no breakthrough, so he can't take on the responsibility of small forward.
So, for the time being, we can only let both people nest in the shooting guard position.
For Zhong Yu, he played guard in China and scored guard in the United States, and he has long fallen in love with this position.
The game restarted, the Hornets' main lineup changed a bit, and the backcourt combination of Paul + Zhongyu, who has gradually become a little famous recently, appeared on the court.
Jongwook's jumper is fierce, the shooting rate is extremely high, and with a Paul who can pass the ball, it has become a backcourt combination that has become a little famous recently. Of course, due to Zhong Yu's fame, the combination of the two is not very famous now, but they are gradually increasing their popularity.
Zhong Yu's opponent is Barbossa, who does not speak, but his eyes are bright, giving people a taciturn but confident feeling. The prestige of the Brazilian Lightning, Zhong Yu, has also heard of some and knows that this person is not very easy to deal with.
"Catch!" Nash shouted, and a ground-hitting pass passed to Barbosa's hands, Barbosa controlled the ball, and a cross step passed Zhong Yu, this speed really made Zhong Yu unable to defend.
He couldn't keep up at all!
Barbosa hit a pull-up jump shot on the inside and glanced at Jongwook with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
It's really unpleasant to feel provoked like this.
Defending again, Nash passed the basketball again, and this time, Barbossa directly passed Zhong Yu with absolute speed, three shots and five divisions into the interior line, and hit a layup.
"Hey, man." Barbossa suddenly greeted Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu turned his head to look, he raised two fingers, and then shook at Zhong Yu.
He said he had hit two balls.
Zhong Yu gritted his teeth, this feeling of being provoked was indeed unpleasant. In this attack, Barbosa guarded Zhong Yu very tightly in order to prevent himself from hitting himself in the face.
Zhong Yu smiled and suddenly said, "Hey, do you think you can guard me?" ”
Barbossa's face immediately turned red, and Zhong Yu's words made him quite unhappy. It's just that at this moment, Zhong Yu suddenly received a pass from Paul, Zhong Yu, who was originally facing Barbossa, received the ball and jumped, turned over in the sky, faced the basket, and made a jump shot!
"Huh!" Like a meteor across the sky, the basketball quickly passed through the net, and Zhong Yu won the first ball!
"You can't guard me." Jongwook smiled at Barbossa again, which made Barbossa clench his fists......
