Kobe Bryant frowned when he saw Zhong Yu hit another three-point shot.

This guy's ball path is too weird, mainly because his shooting percentage is so high, which makes a lot of defenses against him hollow.

However, the Lakers' offense did not stop because of Zhong Yu's outburst, and soon, the ball was back in the hands of the Lakers.

The Lakers played very steadily, attacking on the inside, and the Hornets didn't have much to do under the Lakers' inside force. The Hornets came back from attack and failed.

The game is not long before it is over, and Zhong Yu is also physically exerting a lot now, and defending Kobe Bryant is not an easy job.

This time, the Lakers handed the ball to Kobe, who broke through Zhong Yu and hit a pull-up jump shot in the bottom corner, and the Lakers' score opened again.

At this moment, Zhong Yu can feel what a real strong team looks like.

When playing the Spurs, under the influence of Zhong Yu's omnipotent scoring, he did not understand the true temperament of too many strong teams belonging to the Spurs. However, now the Lakers are different, every time they attack, because of the strength of the interior players, the success rate is much higher.

Moreover, the Lakers' defense has also been strengthened, with West usually pinched in the high post, often disrupted with jump shots, and not shooting well. Chandler couldn't find a chance to catch the ball, and Paul was caught as soon as he got inside.

And Zhong Yu himself, with the decline of his physical strength, his shooting rate also began to decline, Kobe Bryant gradually figured out his surname when he jumped shots, it was getting more and more difficult to deal with his jump shots, and breaking through the inside line, Zhong Yu's physical strength was not very allowed.

Thus, by the end of the third quarter, the score was 79-73 and the Hornets trailed by six points.

And Zhong Yu's own physical strength also needs to be preserved, and the good outline is used on the blade, and Scott let Zhong Yu stay on the bench to rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

This time, the Hornets still encountered the problem just now, that is, on the offensive end, they couldn't open the situation, and on the defensive end, the Lakers relied on the strength of the interior and Kobe's gradually recovering hand, constantly cutting points.

In this situation, the situation of the Hornets began to spiral out of control.

With six minutes left in the final quarter, the score was 87-76 and the Hornets were already 11 points behind!

To this extent, Paul also did his best, but the Lakers limited him quite a lot, and after so many games with little rest, Paul's body was also very tired, plus some old injuries, today's Paul really doesn't have much ability to continue to drag the Hornets out of the quagmire at critical moments.

At this time, the Hornets chose only Zhongyu.

Zhong Yu came on the court, and the morale of the Hornets was boosted, he had just come on the court, and the power of the double arrows with Paul was also on display again.

With Chung Yu staying on the court, Paul was able to quickly hand over the basketball to Chung Yu when he encountered a bag, and Chung Yu did not fail Paul. And with Zhong Yu's containment, as long as Chandler is pulled out, Paul's breakthrough route will be infinitely wide.

The two teamed up to score 9 points and recovered some points, but the Lakers played very steadily at this time.

Kobe Bryant played Zhong Yu, specializing in Zhong Yu's difficult to defend backward jumpers, as well as his own breakthrough. Moreover, the ball thrown by Kobe Bryant, because of the strength of the Lakers' interior line, can basically guarantee rebounding.

Losing in the rebounding scramble is really a bad thing for the team.

As a result, the momentum of the Hornets has fallen again and again, and the Lakers have continued to expand and stabilize their lead with the help of their interior advantage.

Zhong Yu didn't feel too good in the second half of the game, and although Paul passed some good balls, he seemed a little too much in the face of the Lakers' huge offense.

When the final whistle sounded at the end of the game, Zhong Yu felt a little regretful, but he was not too disappointed. In today's game, he saw the heritage and temperament of a Lakers as a strong team, as well as their absolute advantage inside.

In this game, the Lakers defeated the Hornets with a score of 107:100 at home, and the difference was not too big, it was seven points, but a loss was a loss, and the Hornets temporarily trailed the Lakers 0:1 in this series.

After the game was over, the players on both sides exchanged a few words of greeting and were ready to leave, Paul and Kobe Bryant are good friends, especially in the upcoming Olympics, they are both the main players of the team.

The two have known each other for a long time, so they have said something.

"Come to my house for dinner tomorrow night." Bryant said to Paul, "I've had something good to eat at home lately. ”

Paul shook his head: "I lost the game, I'm not in the mood to eat...... he was joking, today's game, they didn't lose too unjustly.

Kobe Bryant smiled: "Don't be so stingy, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers." ”

Paul smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll look for you tomorrow." ”

At this time, Kobe Bryant suddenly said: "Seriously, that guy on your team is pretty good." ”

Paul just wanted to ask who it was, but he immediately knew that Kobe Bryant should be talking about Zhong Yu. Yes, it's Zhong Yu.

Moreover, this kind of compliment, when used on Zhong Yu's body, is actually a very good thing. This is not to say that Kobe Bryant or Shenma are praised, but Kobe Bryant does rarely praise people, at most, he just says to the media who is very promising, and Paul rarely hears this in private.

At least on the Hornets, he hasn't heard Kobe Bryant talk about it.

"He's probably going to train harder when he hears it......" Paul said, "Chung Yu is different from you, and some people may say that his style of play is a bit like you...... But I want to say that this guy's style of play is hard to say who he looks like. I think you've seen his breakthrough...... In short, to use one word to describe Zhong Yu, it is weird. ”

Kobe nodded: "Maybe......" He didn't show superfluous emotions, hearing Paul praise Zhong Yu so much, he also knew that Zhong Yu had indeed been recognized by Paul. A truly powerful backcourt combination has basically been born.

The loss of this game, the Hornets players did not have too many complaints, and the defeat of the game with the Lakers did have a lot of strength gaps.

As soon as the game ended, Jongwook received Scarlett. Johnson's invitation to eat the next day.

That night, there was a report about the game, which once again spread all over the front page of many basketball websites, the headlines.

"The Lakers repelled the Hornets at home, and the Hornets junior Zhong Yu scored 38 points on Kobe's head!"

"The Lakers relied on consistent play to defeat the Hornets, and the shadow assassin Zhong Yu scored 38 points!"

"In this game, the Hornets lost above the overall strength, but in the position of scoring guard, Zhong Yu did not lose!"

"This young man, there are more and more news reports about him, and his performance is getting better and better, it seems that his fame is already a matter of time."

"Scoring 38 points on Kobe's head is not an easy thing to accomplish, and almost everyone who knows the NBA knows that Kobe Bryant is a paranoid. Let a rookie get 38 points on his own head...... Just think about it and you can see how hard it is. ”

…… What happened today in many basketball forums, including even on the official NBA website, is incredible—the Lakers beat the Hornets, but almost all of the praise and discussion is Chung Yu.

What's going on? Won't tonight's winners, the Lakers, deserve everyone's praise?

However, after understanding the ins and outs, many people also understood the reason for this incident - Zhong Yu cut 38 points on Kobe's head!

Zhong Yu is not a stranger to this person, because some time before this game, on the official website, on various forums, the probability of this name appearing more and more.

His second-round pick status and subsequent crazy outbursts, his handsome looks and flowing ball style, his super high shooting percentage and wonderful performance in the playoffs, let more and more people know him.

And today, when he scored 38 points on Kobe's head, more and more people entered Jong-wook's profile to check his name and his information.

As a result, all kinds of admiration filled the major forums:

"What a handsome player! And he's in shape......"

"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of seeing his shooting percentage and how well he performs in the playoffs......"

"Seven of the nine playoff games were 30 points, and in one game he scored 13 points a minute to help the Hornets complete a shocking ......"

"From today on, I'm a fan of him!"

A lot of people ended up announcing that.

This game also set off a lot of turmoil in the Chinese football world.

"Before the game, I don't know how many people felt that Jongwook's good performance had to be terminated in front of Kobe...... After all, we all know what kind of player Kobe Bryant is...... It was difficult for Zhong Yu to find good fruit to eat under him, but now it seems that such a statement is completely unscientific. ”

Zhong Yu's 38 points on Kobe's head should surprise many so-called prophecy emperors this time! His strong performances deserve to be remembered. ”

…… Moreover, on the second day, a large number of well-known Chinese basketball newspapers, including "Basketball Pioneer" and a large number of newspapers, almost all gave Zhong Yu a column!

At least for now, Zhong Yu's fame has overshadowed Yao Ming, and even any athlete in China at present.

Not only in China, but also in the United States, there are many well-known basketball newspapers, through Zhong Yu's agent, sent him an interview request, and many basketball magazines hope that Zhong Yu can help them shoot some promotional photos as covers.

Since one minute and thirteen minutes later, Zhong Yu has become popular again. Of course, the fly in the ointment was that they lost the first game...... If you can win back a game, then Zhong Yu's popularity, as you can imagine, will definitely be able to go to the next level.
