Chapter 171: The Wasp's Most Poisonous Sting!
"This damn Paul, why do you always pass the ball to Zhong Yu?" Even a battle-hardened veteran like Ginobili is complaining in his heart at this moment.
It's not that he is afraid of war, but he knows that Zhong Yu is a difficult person to defend, even to the point where he can hardly defend successfully.
Zhong Yu received the pass, but he didn't have as much thought as Ginobili, he handed the basketball to the right with both hands, and then, his left shoulder sank slightly, and his right foot was lightly on the ground!
Ginobili couldn't tell if he was going to break or jump.
Zhong Yu chose to shoot a jumper, and the tap of his right foot on the ground suddenly turned into a solid point, and his body was already kicking the ground, and then he threw another backward jumper.
He knew that Ginobili would react quickly, so he naturally chose the most difficult step-back jumper of all his scoring methods.
Step-back jumpers require more energy and stamina, and they have a lower shooting percentage, but they have the advantage of being difficult to block.
Ginobili couldn't block this ball, and he couldn't even interfere with it, and the basketball was already flying high.
Once again, the basketball crossed the sky, and from the audience's point of view, no matter which angle it was, it was full of an extremely elegant beauty.
Especially this goal went in!
"Huh!" Ginobili didn't have to look back to know that Zhong Yu's goal had scored again.
5:0, although the Hornets scored a late goal, they also started the game with such a ratio.
Then, the Spurs finally opened up the situation, and Ginobili was perhaps inspired by Jongwook to shoot a three-pointer from the perimeter to give the Spurs the first points.
The Spurs finally got the score, and the Spurs players breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the boos on the side of the stadium rang out, as if Ginobili's goal was a big sin. Zhong Yu is happy, this is the home field! Some people cheered when they scored, but other teams scored but they booed again and again.
Then, Paul himself broke inside and caused Oberto to foul and hit both free throws.
The Spurs went on offense and then continued to play iron. Although they came with a sense of revenge in this game, the opening score was quite difficult, so difficult that people wanted to cry.
The Hornets came back, Paul threw the basketball to Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu controlled the ball and came to the first area, two consecutive crotch, instantly left side, came to the second area, and forced a jump shot.
"Wow!" The jump shot hit, and Zhong Yu shot the ball quickly, so the shooting arc was straight, simple and rough, and almost smashed into the basket.
The fans immediately cheered, Zhong Yu's shot may not be as beautiful as the previous backward jumper in the arc, but it has a crisp and neat feeling.
With that, the Hornets completed a 9-3 opening and the Spurs called a timeout.
Timeouts always pass quickly, and Jongwook is now more and more able to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game, but he can still play.
The Hornets are still the main force to meet the enemy, and the fans in the stadium cheered one after another.
Although the Hornets had a shocking comeback in the last game, it was on the home court of the Spurs after all, and they were not able to see it with their own eyes, and in this game, every goal, every defense was in their eyes.
This is the closest gaze that can feel the impact for the first time.
It's just that the next game is a bit out of the range of Hornets fans, who just played a 9-3 opening and now the Spurs suddenly exploded.
First, Parker hit a shot from beyond the three-point line, then Bowen hit another shot from beyond the three-point line, and then Parker scored again...... A series of three-pointers, coupled with Duncan's inside attack, the Hornets were counterattacked by an 11-0 attack wave, and the score became 9-14, and they were already five points behind.
The NBA's basketball court is so fast-moving, maybe they were ahead by more than 20 points one minute, but they turned the tables a minute later.
The Hornets called a timeout.
The fans are still cheering, and the outcome on the pitch is certainly not decided by one or two attack waves.
"We'll have to fight back, or God won't necessarily be on our side when there will be a huge margin later." Scott said.
Zhong Yu and they wiped their sweat and listened to Scott's arrangement, Zhong Yu is of course able to hold up his physical strength now, and as soon as he came on the court, he was taken care of by the Spurs.
Because Zhong Yu can always suddenly pop up at a critical time to make their score advantage fall again.
However, the first ball was hit by Paul's step-back jumper to finally pull back two points, and the Spurs were not to be outdone, and Duncan continued to score two points.
The ball is back again, and Paul hands it to Jongwook.
Zhong Yu controlled the ball and stood outside the three-point line, and then, West came up to block him, Zhong Yu was of course not polite, and passed by West's side at once.
Ginobili tried to catch Zhongyu, but he only grabbed a cloud of air, and by the time he glanced at it again, Zhongyu had already gone to the deepest part of the inner line.
In the playoffs, Jongwook's breakthrough has been greatly limited, after all, he has not broken through the area much now, and the Spurs have a large degree of prevention against his breakthrough, which makes it difficult for Jongwook to break in.
But this ball, he came quickly, and when the Spurs' interior players reacted, Zhong Yu had already come to the deepest place. And his balls weren't put away.
Bowen pressed up from behind and wanted to steal unexpectedly, but at this time, Zhong Yu instantly put away the basketball and jumped high.
At this point, he was very close to the basket, and after dodging Bowen's steal, he shot straight and the basketball hit cleanly.
In this way, Jongwook and Paul teamed up to recover four points.
Not to be outdone, the Spurs have now stepped up their defense in order to stifle the Spurs' offense. The two sides fought one battle after another.
With the last minute of the game remaining, the Hornets were in possession, and after receiving a pass from Paul, Jongwook passed past Ginobili again, saw that the middle line was blocked, and took the left route.
He used his crotch dribble to avoid Duncan's interference, and then quickly retracted his body and moved directly to the baseline.
Then, it was Zhong Yu's direct shot.
His series of moves left the opponent almost defenseless, and the ball could only be watched as he threw it and flew into the basket.
In the entire first quarter, Zhong Yu scored 9 points, and then, the Spurs did not hit, West broke through and hit a layup, and the first quarter of the game between the two sides ended with 23 draws.
In this section of the game, it can be said that there were ups and downs, both sides played a score attack wave, but in the end it ended in a draw.
However, Zhong Yu played more than 8 minutes in the first quarter, although he was not tired, but the physical exertion was not a lot. Now I sweat a lot.
The game started quickly, and Jongwook was sitting on the bench and did not need to play for the time being.
However, it was somewhat surprising that the Spurs left their main players on the court at the beginning of the second quarter against the Hornets' bench. The Spurs' main force played the Hornets' bench, what is the end, this is very clear, Duncan and his team beat the Hornets' bench to the head is not a face.
Especially Bowen's three-point shot, this old guy does have some ability to put cold arrows on the outside, and he shot two three-pointers himself.
By the time Paul and the other players came on, the score was 31-26, and the Spurs had a five-point lead.
Zhong Yu did not play for the time being, and Peterson's experience can bring some good things to the Hornets, and keeping him on the court can reduce some of the pressure on Zhong Yu and allow Zhong Yu to get a better rest.
After the main player of the Hornets came on the court, Paul hit a three-pointer and assisted Peja to hit two three-pointers, and then, at the end of the entire first half, Chung Yu did not have to play.
Because, the Hornets returned to Paul mode again, Paul led the Hornets players to score crazy points, and the Spurs used the main lineup to consume the Hornets together, and the physical consumption was quite rapid, which was a bit unable to withstand the Hornets' offense.
Paul's leadership skills are evident from the side of the pitch as he can make the most favorable judgment in the shortest possible time, and he can also string the whole team like a pearl.
During the game, Peterson did well, so Scott kept him on the pitch.
The first half of the game officially ended, and the score between the two sides became 47:43, with the Spurs trailing by four points.
In this section of the game, Paul basically led the whole team to chase down the opponent alone, and Zhong Yu also recuperated his physical strength, and the second half was enough to deal with many emergencies.
"Hey, Zhong Yu hasn't played in the second quarter!" The fans discussed it with some regret, with one pretty girl saying, "I wish I could see him every second on the pitch." ”
"It's obviously impossible...... However, Zhong Yu is now on the bench and should have enough physical strength. And these people on the Spurs team are already at the end of their crossbows, and a few old men can't run...... That's when the Hornets' most poisonous sting comes out! "Someone next to me is analyzing.
"Hmmm! The most poisonous thorn has not yet come up! Zhong Yu's female fans felt a burst of joy at this sentence, yes, Zhong Yu is the most poisonous sting of the Hornets!
Walking into the locker room, Scott said to Zhong Yu: "Zhong Yu, you have taken a break, how do you feel about your physical strength now?" Will you be able to cope with the next game? ”
"No problem, sir." "I can play the whole second half. ”
"That's pretty good." Scott said, "Let's get ready to play later." ”
Zhong Yu nodded.
However, after the start of the third quarter, Chung Yu still did not play immediately, firstly, Peterson could play for a while, and secondly, Scott wanted to let Zhong Yu play when he needed it most.
In this game, Zhong Yu himself became the most laid-back person.
The second half of the game had just begun, and the Hornets were ready to hurry up and unleash a wave of attacks, and although they didn't dare to make the Spurs burp immediately, at least make their situation worse.
But the situation of the Hornets was not good at this time, and Duncan of the Spurs, although he was very tired, he didn't say a word, bit his lip, and constantly attacked West.
West was also annoyed by Duncan, but it was difficult for him to guard against Duncan, who is one of the best power forwards in league history. Duncan hit three shots in a row to pull back a lot of points.
The Spurs regained the lead.
"Zhong Yu, you can go!" At this time, Scott turned his head and said to Zhong Yu.
Then, Zhong Yu slowly stood up, sorted out his jersey and shoes, and the fans finally waited for Zhong Yu, and the cheers instantly shook the sky.
"He's finally on the field!"
