The Hornets beat the Cavaliers, which has been a hot topic lately.

Because the performance of the Hornets in this game really beat the imagination of many people.

Whether Zhong Yu is a leader or not, and whether he can lead a Hornets without Paul to a better tomorrow has also become a hot topic.

Of course, there are still many people who express their own affirmation of Zhong Yu leading the Hornets to glory alone. It's just that more people still feel that Zhong Yu is too young and lacks enough background, and now he needs to lead the entire Hornets, and many things are not so simple.

There are more and more debates like this, and in the end, they turn a bit towards the two extremes, and then the feeling of both sides attacking each other begins......

Debates often end up in that awkward situation.

As a result, a lot of the fingers are pointed at the next game.

They want to see if Jongwook's outburst as a leader is just a game, or if it can continue in the future.

In the next game, the Hornets' opponent is not strong, and now many people want to see whether the Hornets will capsize in the gutter in front of this team. Of course, most people also think that the Hornets can basically beat their opponents in front of this team, but it is difficult to say whether they can play their own style and level.

Whether Zhong Yu can lead the Hornets and play at the same level as the Cavaliers has become the basis for many people to support that direction in the future.

The Hornets' next game is against the New York Knicks, a team that is not at the same level at the moment, but has special significance.

First of all, of course, the owners of New York are stupid and have a lot of money, and they have a lot of players to help them retire, and they basically can't create much contribution. New York is a really big city, and the players are more willing to come here if they have the opportunity.

Secondly, New York is also a basketball mecca, many people have got a lot of good data here, and slowly, the city has also received a lot of attention.

In addition, the home fans of the New York Knicks are completely different from teams with a strong home atmosphere like San Antonio. In the Knicks, on this court, it doesn't matter if you're a home player or an away player, if you play well, you're going to have people cheering you on.

……

In the next game against the New York Knicks, the Hornets are still very confident.

After all, this team's current configuration is very bad, and their record is even worse...... In the east, the ranking is also relatively close to the bottom, and it is indeed more difficult to take a step forward.

The day after the game against the Cavaliers, Jongwook came to the hospital to visit Paul.

A bouquet of flowers was placed on the counter next to Paul.

"Zhong Yu, how much did you buy for this money?" Paul asked.

"It's not too expensive, more than eighty dollars." Zhong Yu was a little strange: "How did you think of caring about this?" ”

Paul laughed: "I just want to say, next time if you want to bring something, then just exchange it for money, to be honest, I don't like to spend it very much." ”

Zhong Yu raised a middle finger at him unscrupulously, and then said, "What is politeness?" What is etiquette called? I've been so kind to you, and you're actually measured by money, which makes me wonder if I'm right to see you this time. ”

Paul laughed, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, our friendship can't be measured by these things." ”

Zhong Yu also laughed: "Dude, have you been better these days?" ”

Paul is now lying in the hospital bed, because Zhong Yu came to see at noon, maybe this kid is going to take a nap. There is no doubt that the hospital he was given was the best in all of New Orleans.

Paul nodded and said, "It's much better, I just laughed with you, and I didn't feel too much pain in my stomach...... You know, in the first few days of my injury, I didn't dare to speak too loudly. ”

Zhong Yu nodded, sat in front of his hospital bed, started to peel an apple by himself, and then said, "That's it, no matter when, you have to take care of your body." The body is the capital of everything. ”

Paul also nodded and said: "Actually, I want to tell you these words, to be honest, your current style of play is really a bit hard." Of course, my own style of play is like that, it's just that I need to be careful with these things, I can't let myself get hurt, and I have to remind myself all the time. ”

Zhong Yu snorted: "Of course I know." ”

After saying this, Zhong Yu almost finished peeling one of the apples, so he lowered his head and concentrated on peeling the apple all the time, and then he handed the apple to Paul, and when Paul said thank you and was about to take the apple, Zhong Yu took the apple back and took a bite himself.

“**！” Paul cursed and stretched out his middle finger at Zhong Yu, this guy is indeed hateful.

Zhong Yu laughed and did not answer Paul's scolding.

After a while, Paul said, "You guys did a great job playing against the Cavaliers. Seriously, LeBron, you're going to have to teach him that lesson and let him know that his team just can't beat us! ”

Zhong Yu took a bite of the apple: "LeBron is a very strong player, as long as he is given enough time and a healthy body all the time, it is difficult for me to imagine how good and great he can become in the future." ”

Paul replied, "You are like that...... Few people can imagine how great you can be in the future. ”

Zhong Yu put down the apple in his mouth and smiled: "For a humble person like me, this kind of thing you say will make me feel shy and at a loss. ”

"Get out of here, damn fellow." Paul scolded, "What a man like you is a man of the wrong hand." But, seriously, you guys did a great job and I didn't get to be there, but I watched the whole game. I've seen a great performance of you, you've done what a lot of people want to do but can't. In that game, you were the true leader of the Hornets, and that night, no one could take away your shine. ”

Zhong Yu knew that what Paul was talking about now was his true feelings, but he didn't talk about it for the time being, because there were topics that even the closest brothers would be sensitive to.

The issue of the leadership of the Hornets is indeed a bit sensitive, which is hard to describe.

After thinking about it, Zhong Yu said: "Chris, there are some things that I myself am really forcing myself to try. You know, the Hornets are on record right now, and we need something more to keep our team moving forward and maintain the confidence that our fans have in the Hornets. Against the Cavaliers, to be honest, I personally feel like I've done everything I could. ”

Paul nodded, knowing that his words might have touched something a little sensitive.

He said, "If you can go down with the Hornets like this, I have nothing to worry about!" I'm sure you can do this well, and that's what you can do well. You don't have to think too much about other issues, because I will support your ...... no matter what time it is."

Hearing Paul say this, listening to his tone, Jongwook was able to know how he really felt.

It turns out that he really hopes that he can go on well with the Hornets, and he won't think about any leaders or anything like that for the time being.

In this way, it can be said that we can be honest.

Zhong Yu nodded: "Okay, Chris, I understand what you mean...... In the future, no matter what, I will do my best. ”

Between brothers, when the words are spoken, many things are easier to solve.

Paul nodded: "Okay, also, in the next game, you can't play a horrible 38 minutes like the last game, that's not good, you need more rest." ”

Zhong Yu said: "I know this, but I think that after the last game, the other players have gradually found the feeling they used to have, and I don't think I need to work so hard anymore...... Seriously, my body can't support it anymore. I had to find a better way. ”

"Well, it's good that you know for yourself." "It's been my experience as well, and to be honest, my own injury, sometimes I get scared when I think about it, because I'm afraid it's going to ruin my whole career," Paul said. ”

"Don't worry." Zhong Yu said: "I believe that this will get better, and your injuries will also heal soon." ”

Paul nodded, "I wish I could do that too." ”

……

The two of them chatted for a long time before Zhong Yu left the hospital, and the rest of the time, he basically spent resting.

Although training is necessary, too much training is not good because his physical strength is too much in the last game and he needs a certain amount of rest.

And the next game is played at the home of the Knicks, Madison Garden.

It's not the first time Zhong Yu has come to New York, this place naturally gives people a feeling of drunkenness.

It's the largest city in the United States, and it's home to some of the most remarkable buildings and attractions. In the league, I don't know how many players aspire to be able to play here and earn more money.

On the first night the Hornets landed here, Chandler's gang went out for a stroll, and according to Chung-wook's guess, they might have gone to some more nightclubs...... No way, they're just that.

Zhong Yu didn't go himself, he stayed in the hotel to sleep, he was tired and turned over and went back to sleep, and the next morning he was completely refreshed.

This game is still important for the Hornets, and it is really important for Jongwook. He's here to prove that he really does deserve to be the leader of the Hornets.

After the last game, Jong Wook also returned to third place in the MVP list, and he also has several top 10 goals and a higher average of points per game...... In short, he got a lot of benefits from the last game, and this game, if he can go on to win, he will get even more.

Of course, beating the Knicks is not a big victory, everyone still expects the Hornets to win at the same time, Jongwook himself to get very good statistics, and at the same time to get a greater role in the team's victory.

This game, the home court of the Knicks, came in with more than 20,000 fans!

This is also rare in normal times, although New York is a big city, and many people are willing to pay to watch the team play. Of course, a lot of people here aren't really Knicks fans, including some who watch the excitement, and a lot of guys who just watch the away team play.

There is no way, the team's record in recent years has been down, the players are not very competitive, and the team is not competitive. It's not easy for the fans to sit quietly and watch the home team's game.

Therefore, everyone gradually chose to come to the home court of the Knicks to watch the games of the away team.

And today, it's a game between the Hornets and the Knicks, and of course it goes without saying who they're here for......

Among the fans who came to the scene today, including many female fans, it is conceivable that many of these female fans came for Zhong Yu.

With the league's popularity and his own statistics getting better and better, Zhong Yu's position in the basketball world is getting higher and higher.

In this way, there are many, many people who choose to pay attention to Zhong Yu.

And most of these women in New York were conquered by Zhong Yu's elegant and handsome ball skills and handsome appearance, and now that they can see Zhong Yu's game, they naturally come......

When I just saw Zhong Yu come out to warm up, there were many women's cheers at the scene. Seeing Zhong Yu's long figure in the court, their cheers became louder.

It even gives people the illusion that Jongwook is playing at home......

There's no way, Zhong Yu's popularity is too high now, even if these players on the Knicks team want to be jealous, they can't be jealous, who made their Knicks team become the virtue they are now.

……

The competition is officially on!

The Hornets sent out the starters today are: Jong-wook, Paco, Peja, West, Thomas. The starting lineup from the Knicks is Chris. Duhon, Quentin. Richardson, Wilson. Chandler, Ayr. Harrington, David. Plum.

In such a game, in fact, the home team players also hope to get a victory, at least to wash away some of the shame on their bodies.

They've really not been doing well this season...... This is an indelible fact.

However, without Paul's Hornets, they also want to see if they can beat this team.

The current Knicks are still Isaiah. Thomas is coaching, the guy who once made a name for himself in the league by the nickname 'Smiling Assassin', but he hasn't accomplished much in his coaching career, but has brought disaster after disaster to the Knicks.

In today's game, in fact, he himself did not have much hope.

The jump ball begins.

The jump ball was obtained by the Hornets, and the basketball passed to Paco, who quickly passed the basketball to Chung Yu after half court, and Chung Yu controlled the ball and stood at Quentin. Richardson's face.

Richardson used to be a good player, and he did something on both ends of the floor, but now, he looked nervously at Jong-wook, and he didn't have much of a good way to defend Jong-wook against this monster who averaged close to 40 points per game.

Next to Wilson. Chandler was also preparing, and he was ready to take a good look at Zhong Yu as soon as the timing was wrong.

Zhong Yu controlled the ball, and then took a look at the position of the inside line, the Hornets had already put on a posture of attacking position, and sure enough, after the last game, the morale of the Hornets has improved a lot. The current tactical level is basically back to the state in which Paul is still in place.

Peja came over to block Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu quickly passed Richardson, Chandler defended up, and Zhong Yu used direct acceleration to pass it.

Zhong Yu's speed was very fast, and when he increased to his maximum speed, Wilson Chandler didn't have much to do, and Zhong Yu went all the way to the inside.

The man who stood in his way became David. Lee, this guy hasn't been in the league for much, but he's very aggressive on the defensive end and is a favorite figure for some fans.

He struggled to block Zhong Yu, but who was Zhong Yu...... How could he be blocked so easily.

Zhong Yu directly put away the basketball and jumped out with a small jump, where David Lee couldn't take care of it, Zhong Yu's basketball shot, snorted at the place where the rebound was very high near the top of the rebound, and then fell straight into the basket.

He scored two points in the opening game and it was a difficult layup.

There were some cheers next to the basketball court, which gave Jongwook the illusion that he was playing at home......

Then, the Knicks went on offense. The Knicks' current point guard, Chris Duhon, is a relatively stable player, but being more stable also means that he basically can't play anything beyond the ordinary.

Indeed, Chris Duhon's ability may be just that, he has a bit of a mediocre performance on both the offensive and defensive ends.

He began to break through with the ball, and then hung the basketball to David Lee on the inside, David Lee's layup missed, and the rebound was grabbed by West and passed directly to Zhong Yu.

The Hornets started to attack, and Jongwook controlled the ball outside the three-point line, turned his feet upside down, and then went straight to the inside. It's still that kind of speed that is almost irresistible.

This time, David Lee is still on defense, and he is indeed a good player with a lot of heart.

It's just that in the face of Zhong Yu, he is a little worse......

Of course, Harrington next to David Lee had also followed up to wrap up, and Zhong Yu looked like he was going to be caught by two people, but he suddenly took a step back from possession of the ball, and then shot directly with a backward jumper.

Hand drop ball in!

Another two-point shot.

Jongwook scored four straight points in the opening game, which made the fans next to the basketball court cheer a little more.

Indeed, Madison Gardens is such a place.

The New York Knicks continued to attack, this time, Du Hong broke through with the ball, was blocked by Peja, Zhong Yu suddenly drilled out, stretched out his right hand, and Du Hong's ball control was directly cut off by Zhong Yu.

Break the basketball, Zhong Yu has nothing to stop, he directly controls the ball over the half court, and then, before the players on both sides are completely in position, he has already jumped directly outside the three-point line!

This ball, his shot has a fierce temperament, completely ignoring whether the ball can fly into the basket.

Rather, he was fully convinced that the ball would get where he wanted it to be.

"Huh!" The basketball punctured the net with a crisp sound.

The opening is to score six points in a row!

Jongwook's scoring was quite resolute, and it also gave the Knicks a blow at the beginning of the game.

There were more cheers from the side of the stadium.
