Beating the Pistons is nothing in the long schedule of 82 regular season games of the entire regular season.

But the win finally allowed the Hornets to stabilize their position and temporarily stabilize the second place in the West.

There are more and more articles praising Zhong Yu.

The New York Times commented on Chung-wook's performance, saying, "When Paul was not with the Hornets, Chung Yu had become the backbone of the team. Even if he didn't have David. West is tall, but he's able to play a role that he's hard to touch. Zhong Yu became the Hornets' offensive weapon and offensive initiator...... With two double-doubles and a quasi-triple-double recently, the Hornets may be back on the rise after a brief slump. When Chris Paul returns, the team will shine as it needs to be the league's eye. ”

……

The future for the Hornets is bright, but the road is tortuous.

They have a lot of difficulties to overcome.

Until Paul does not return, this difficulty may be magnified infinitely.

After defeating the Pistons, the Hornets met the Western Bad Kings and easily abused them, Zhong Yu scored 27 points and 9 assists in the game, this kid looks a bit addicted to assists.

Because it was easy to win this game, Jongwook didn't play much time, and his score didn't even break 27 points.

But it was worth it, because he regained some of his strength.

After this game, Zhong Yu's average points per game also dropped to 36.8 points, after all, his scores have not been high recently, and the 40-point scoring myth has come to an end for the time being.

But the average score of 36.8 points per game is still very strong, and the average person can't even score 20 points per game...... Not to mention a score of 36.8!

It's just that this game brought new bad news to the Hornets who were already full of injuries.

That is, one of the team's star stars, David West, sprained his ankle in an attack and needed to be sidelined for at least ten days......

And March is fast approaching, and at this critical juncture, West is injured.

In this way, in the main lineup of the Hornets, West, Chandler, and Paul are all injured! Only Jongwook and Peja remain, and Peja is in bad form right now, and he can't play more than 30 minutes per game......

All the burdens of the entire team are all on Zhong Yu's body.

I thought that after beating the Pistons and Kings in a row, the record would get better. Who knew the Hornets had been hit such a hard time.

The entire basketball world is lamenting whether the Hornets are too old this season, but it doesn't help.

The burden of the Hornets was on Zhong Yu's body, which was heavy.

……

After West's accident, Hornets fans also felt for a while that the situation of the Hornets had indeed been forced into a desperate situation!

"Right now, the Hornets are missing enough points to score, West, Paul, Chandler are all injured. The Hornets are about to face their darkest period, but will they be able to survive it...... All we have left is Zhong Yu. ”

"Jongwook was the last straw for the Hornets, rise or fall...... We're left with him. ”

"The Hornets are falling! Fortunately, there is still one Zhong Yu left, otherwise it would really be over. ”

……

Hornets fans have pinned almost all their hopes on Jongwook.

finally survived until almost March, and the Hornets finally ranked second in the West, although they experienced injuries to Paul and Chandler in the middle, Zhong Yu survived with a group of people.

Although they didn't play well after the All-Star break, Jongwook still withstood the pressure and led the team back to two consecutive wins......

But now, another main player of the Hornets was injured, and they were forced into a desperate situation all of a sudden.

West was able to average 20.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while Paul was away from the Hornets, shooting 51 percent from the field.

He's gone, and the Hornets' offense is about to drop a notch.

There's never been a darker time than this!

The other teams are fighting for playoff home court advantage and for a playoff spot, and they're all working frantically for that.

But the Hornets are full of wounded soldiers at this moment, and there are only a few people left who are struggling to support ......

Spurs fans immediately laughed -

"The Hornets' West is injured, the Hornets' form has hit rock bottom, and Jongwook is the best scorer in the league, but he can't lead the whole team to success."

"Now is the best chance for the Spurs to chase second place in the West and even beat the Lakers directly to reach the first place in the West. The Hornets will be beaten soon. ”

"The Hornets are finished now! Zhong Yu can't support this team alone, let's be ready to compete with the Lakers! ”

……

Spurs fans feel this is a great opportunity and a great opportunity for the Spurs to get back into the top two in the West.

Other teams, even the Rockets, who are currently in fourth place, are eager to compete with the Hornets......

This is the worst of times!

The Hornets are sinking to rock bottom, with all sides doubting their prowess and few believing they can continue to win.

But it's also the best of times!

If the Hornets can bring everyone's doubts and Zhong Yu to lead this team to rebirth in all adverse situations, then whether it is his personal honor or the team's combat effectiveness, it will form the best change in people's hearts.

At that time, many honors would make Zhong Yu feel scary himself!

――――――

West Ward.

West's foot injury was somewhat severe, and he was admitted directly to the hospital room.

There is no way to do it, and West himself doesn't want to get hurt at such a critical moment.

Paul and Chandler came to West's room with Zhong Yu and Peja on crutches, so that the Hornets' starting five tigers gathered in this room, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Of course, other players are not qualified to participate in such condolences, and since human society has civilization, it seems that it has been followed by a strict hierarchy.

Obvious.

Paul sat down on a stool and said with a solemn face: "Now, the Hornets are rumored to be hard to win any more games. We have reached the most difficult moment. ”

West nodded and said with some pain, "I'm sorry I was hurt at this time. ”

"It's none of your business." "No one can predict when they will be injured, and they can't control it. Now, the most important thing is to play well and take this team out of the abyss. ”

Paul snorted, "Zhong Yu is right...... It's the end of the season and we've got to work hard......"

Peja's face was heavy: "That's right, it's just that at present, without your presence, there will be problems in attack and defense." ”

There was silence again.

There's no way around it.

After a long time, Zhong Yucai said: "I will do my best, the Hornets are definitely not the original Hornets." We are now a championship team! No one can insult or question us anymore, we have our own pride. Next...... Leave the team to the rest of us......"

At this time, Zhong Yu, the peak of the young man on his body was fully revealed.

Looking at such Zhong Yu, Paul was also touched for a while.

This guy has really improved a lot in the time he hasn't been with the Hornets.

Several other people glanced at Zhong Yu and nodded.

"Man, over to you! I hope that when I come back to the Hornets, I can see a record that is still very strong. Chandler patted Zhongyu on the shoulder and said, "Otherwise, I won't let you go, young man!" ”

Zhong Yu laughed: "For a strong player like me, such a small request is indeed trivial." ”

Chandler patted him on the head: "You kid, you're still so bad." ”

Paul also laughed next to him and said, "Zhongyu is now an all-star MVP!" Big star, Tyson, you need to watch your hands......"

Zhong Yu smiled: "Chris, I think it is you who should be paid attention to...... I see that the little nurse who serves you is very good, you have to be careful not to waste your hands and your important parts. ”

Paul was speechless for a while: "You damn ...... fellow"

The group giggled as if they had returned to the era when the Hornets had a full lineup, and every player was the most confident and made unremitting efforts for the team's tomorrow.

……

After West's injury, the Hornets' first opponent was the Philadelphia 76ers in the East.

This is by no means a weak team.

This season, so far, the Philadelphia 76ers remain fourth in the East.

The fourth-place team in the East, of course, is not much weaker.

With the current lineup of the Hornets, if they want to beat the 76ers, there are indeed many people who doubt it.

Even the members of the 76ers are a little unimpressed with the Hornets.

Although they didn't say it in a public interview, the Hornets would lose to the 76ers, which is what they basically believed.

This game, in the eyes of the outside world, is hardly too suspense-

On one side is the Hornets who are short of soldiers and are full of wounded soldiers, leaving only Zhong Yu and Peja struggling to support, and on the other side is the 76ers who have been in the limelight recently.

As you can imagine, almost no one is optimistic about this Hornets team......

Only fans of the Hornets and Jongwook have always chosen to believe in the Hornets.

After all, the Hornets still have Jongwook.

If you have a Wasp with Zhong Yu, you will never be a weak team!

The Hornets are at least a playoff team right now, and they've grown into a strong team that hasn't been beaten so easily.

Of course, practice makes sense.

The Hornets still have to survive the game or die in the game......

Before the game began, Zhong Yu and Scott had a more in-depth conversation.

This time, Scott said bluntly: "Against the 76ers, we don't have a big chance of winning, they have a full lineup, they have a lot of fighting spirit, and we have problems on the team, especially injuries, which make it difficult for us to solve. ”

Zhong Yu nodded, but he said, "No matter what, I will do my best." ”

Scott snorted, "If that's the case...... I think in the next game, it's completely your job to score points! Regardless of anything else. ”
