Chapter 374: This game is about destroying the withering and decaying
syllable
The jump ball was won by the Hornets again
Paul controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and the Jazz were careful to come up and defend, and they were still man-to-man
At this time, Zhong Yu suddenly went directly to the inside, and everything was fast, and Paul also controlled the ball at this moment, broke through to the inside, and then pulled back and stopped the ball again on the outside
Jongwook cut inside and then suddenly a reverse run, then a frontal acceleration that prevented Brewer from catching up with him, and he himself bypassed Collins on the inside to the other side of the basket
Whoosh Paul's pass flew out instantly
And Jongwook had already taken off at this moment, he caught Paul's pass in the sky, and then glided towards the basket
bang
After a dull dunk, Jongwook dunked the ball into the basket
strike
Fans in the entire arena barely expected the Hornets to hit their first ball so hot
Zhong Yu's dunk directly exploded their atmosphere
The Jazz saw that Zhong Yu's first ball was so hot, and they also wanted to return one, otherwise, the Hornets would take the lead, and Paul was such a person who could control the rhythm, they really couldn't choose
DeLong possessed the ball past half-court and then began to play with Boozer
With Boozer's blocking, Delon entered the interior line, and originally saw that there was a way under the basket, and it seemed that he could rush in directly to dunk the dunk, and he was about to enter with joy
But when he looked closely, he found that Zhong Yu was staring at the side, thinking of how sharp this kid was when he dropped Boozer's hat in the last game, he could only put away this idea
Delon passed the ball to Boozer and let Boozer make a jumper near the free throw line, Boozer missed the rebound, and the rebound was snatched by Jongwook
Give them back one
Zhong Yu himself dribbled the ball across the half, and Paul and the others each took their own positions, and Paul stood outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle
The inside line also has Chandler and West in horns with Peja near the baseline
This is also an offensive tactic of the Hornets, Zhong Yu looked at the supply and demand, and his right hand looked like he was going to break through directly, but his body shook slightly, and then accelerated instantly
The whole person accelerates in a straight line
As soon as Zhong Yu's speed opened, it was difficult to stop him, and he broke through to the bottom line, but at this time, the Jazz directly forced him to the bottom corner
The bottom corner is a very ambiguous place, if he wants to continue to break through, it is difficult to retreat, it is difficult to force a shot, and the angle is not too good
And the opposing defender has a lot less area to defend in the bottom corner
Pushing Jongwook into the bottom corner is also a routine for many teams to defend him
And they're also blocking Jongwook's passing lanes
But after Jongwook jumped up, he still opened his vision, and he passed the ball out of the line, and after Paul received the pass, he passed directly to Peja Peja near the bottom corner and shot a three-point shot
Hit
The 5-0 Hornets used this opening to play the first minute of the game
The Jazz went on offense
They were very unwilling to lose in the last game...... Because until the very end of the game, the Hornets were still behind
After that, Jongwook suddenly scored 8 points in a row, and Paul's consecutive scores allowed the Jazz to bury the victory
So they also got a lot of confidence after the last game – the Hornets certainly weren't that scary
They have a good chance of winning
But today's start was not good for them
DeLong played patiently and didn't pass the ball to Boozer until the end of the 24-second attack time
Boozer's mid-range shot had the Hornets start to fight back
With a score of 5-2, the Jazz still fell to the bottom line
This ball Paul himself came, Zhong Yu blocked it for him, Paul dodged into the interior along the space that Zhong Yu opened up for him, and then he stepped back to shoot the basketball
7-2.
It was the same start as the last game, where the Hornets played very well
It was only later that the Jazz seized some opportunities to start overtaking
That's the way it is, so the Hornets still have to watch their lead...,
However, this game was definitely not a repeat of the previous game, and the Hornets had a firm grip on the score advantage in the first half of the first quarter
With six minutes remaining, the score was 17-9, and the Hornets were on a high score, and they now maintain an eight-point lead over the Jazz
The Jazz called a timeout, and things were not going well
The Hornets should have fully recovered in this game, and Zhong Yu has scored 8 points so far in the opening game, scoring very high, and several others have also scored
The Hornets' touch is a huge threat to the Jazz if it does fully recover
In the last game, the Hornets will not regain their touch until the last minute of the game, but they also won the game, and if they have a touch in the first game, they will not have to beat the Jazz guys out of the game
The Jazz players are a little anxious
In a hurry, they began to fight back, but the Hornets played very consistently and efficiently in this game
Another counterattack The Jazz's Delon controlled the ball past half court, and then planned to directly control the ball and insert it inside, but at this moment, Zhongyu rushed past him, and DeLong was worried that Zhongyu would steal the ball and stop
After that, he passed the ball to Collins on the inside, and Chandler next to Collins immediately caught up with him, and the whole person was hanging around him
Collins re-passed the ball to DeLong, and the basketball looped back to Delon, and he could only organize the attack, but the offensive time was obviously not enough, so he reorganized a tactical attack
DeLong had no choice but to break through on his own and barely make a shot in front of West - for fear of being covered
The basketball bounced out of the basket, the Hornets fought back, Zhong Yu controlled the ball, passed the ball to Paul after half court, Paul was covered by Zhong Yu and went inside, and with West's second cover, the basketball was thrown high and thrown directly into the basket
The Hornets completed a defensive counterattack, and the ball returned to the Jazz's hands, and the Jazz managed to complete an offense this time
Then the Hornets hit the ......
And that's what happened, and the Jazz tried to regain the lead, but the Hornets didn't let them get their way
Well, in the final moments of the first quarter, Paul broke through and dodged several people's blocks and hit a layup in the depths under the basket
Paul's buzzer-beating layup marked the end of the first quarter with the Hornets taking the lead
The 36-28 Hornets dug an eight-point hole for the Jazz at the end of the first quarter, which was not good news for the Jazz
Well done...... Scott shouted to everyone as soon as the players came off the pitch and they did a good job in this quarter
It's not just the high scores, but they're so much ahead of their opponents, and that's all that matters
Now the game is now clear
On the Internet forum, many people also began to talk about it
The Hornets played very strong today, and they scored 36 points in the first quarter and led the Jazz by 8 points
It looks like the Hornets are going to have a big deal today, and they really need to break out in this game...... Save the whole day and some people say that there is still a problem with their strength......
The Hornets really want to prove themselves today with high scoring and a quick win...... Wash away what some people said about them in the last game
But they're also big spenders......
…………
There was a lot of buzz, and at the home of the Hornets, everyone was surrounded by cheers from all kinds of spectators
Because the Hornets played very well in the first quarter
In this quarter, Zhong Yu scored 14 points and 2 rebounds alone, Paul also scored 8 points and 4 assists, and the two combined to score 22 points, accounting for most of the Hornets' scores
Zhong Yu's hand also fully recovered in the first quarter, his 14 points were won by relying on two three-pointers and four two-point shots, and there were no free throws...,
In other words, he has scored 14 points with a goal in the first quarter
And he shot a total of 6-of-8 from the field in the quarter, shooting a very high percentage and returning to his normal level
Such a Hornets team has naturally gained a very strong fighting ability, and with a high score of 36 points, the Jazz team was forced into a corner at once
The game is about to begin, and the second quarter of the game between the Hornets and the Jazz will be played in this situation
Although we had an eight-point lead in the first quarter...... "But we definitely can't take it lightly, and I don't think everybody will forget that we had a bit of a bump in the last game, and the Jazz suddenly overtook us, and if we hadn't stayed up to our rhythm in the final quarter, we could have lost the first game of the playoffs," Scott said
And that twist and turn comes in the second stanza...... So for the next section, we need to deal with it well, and we must not take it lightly
In fact, Zhong Yu and the others also know that this stubble does not want to bury the root cause
Not only did they want a victory, but they wanted a victory that didn't have too many obstacles
So they don't want to have any twists and turns in this section
Paul played off the bench, and the Hornets really wanted to win Game 2 of the series with a more determined victory
The Jazz also sent Delon and both point guards fought with the benches of both sides, and it turned out that with the benches of the Hornets led by Paul, they were able to burst out with very strong combat effectiveness, and the defense composed of Ariza and Evans and Thomas on the interior prevented the Jazz's forward line and even the big forward from crying
In this way, Delong can only fight alone
In the second quarter, the Hornets not only did not have the last incident, but also opened the score before the arrival of the main team, and the main team continued to open the score with a calm offense
At the end of the first half, 64-51, the Hornets had already taken a 13-point lead (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation)
