The score at the end of the first half greatly satisfied the imagination of Hornets fans.

In this game, at the beginning, although many people came to the scene, among them, there were many people who did not have much hope for the Hornets.

This season, the Hornets just lost Paul, and the Hornets without Paul suffered three consecutive defeats including the loss to the Trail Blazers.

In the midst of this three-game losing streak, some of the Hornets' expected people, including Jongwook and West, didn't really lead the Hornets out of the haze at this time, but instead plunged the team into some deeper abyss.

It is conceivable that in this game, there will be many people who are pessimistic about the future of the Hornets for these reasons. In fact, this season's Cavaliers have a pretty good record, and under the leadership of James, they have played quite well, and it is estimated that there will not be much of a problem against the Hornets who are now short of major generals.

However, soon after the start of the game, the Hornets had gradually grasped the opportunity of the game, and by the end of the first half, the Hornets had taken a ten-point lead over their opponents.

Throughout the first half of the game, at the beginning, the Hornets were still a little out of shape, they may not have come out of the haze of two consecutive defeats, and there may be some unspeakable obstacles now.

However, after that, Zhong Yu began to recall the soul of this Wasp team. He blocked James, got a dunk of his own, and hit the next jumper.

The situation between the two teams has been reversed.

The game continued, and the Hornets seized their opportunity in between this reversal. They are scoring more and more points, and the situation is becoming more and more stable.

Therefore, the 10-point lead at the end of the first half can also be taken for granted.

Among them, Zhong Yu was the biggest contributor to this game until the end of the first half.

He first revived the morale of the Hornets with a dunk and a block, and then he led the Hornets to a foothold.

At the end of the first half, Jongwook scored 27 points, which is quite high, which is very close to his record for the highest score in a half.

And the Cavaliers' James, at the end of the first half, scored a total of 14 points and 5 assists, James and Zhong Yu's style of play is not different, Zhong Yu can be said to be one of the better scoring guards in the league today, one of the purer ones, and he concentrates on the work of scoring guards.

But James is different, James is not pure, he can be said to be a swing man, and point guards can play ...... His height, which can even go from point guard to center, is not the same style.

However, at the end of the first half, Jongwook temporarily had the upper hand.

As soon as he walked in the locker room and sat down, Scott walked up with a tactical board and said, "Guys, you did a good job, let's do more!" Let the Cavaliers lose a game on our home court, and then we can get back to No. 1 in the West and No. 1 in the league. ”

This sentence was heard by everyone, and it gradually became expressed.

If what the manager says is usually not seen by the players, it's a completely different situation now, and it's true that the Hornets are playing well. They did a great job in the first half, and if they can keep it up and make the Cavaliers hate New Orleans Arena, that's pretty good for them.

"Next! Let me tell you about the tactical arrangement. Scott took the tactics board and said, "Overall, we still need to use Jongwook's breakthrough to split the ball, assist teammates to score, or score ourselves. In addition, David West needs to try to find open space and cooperate with Zhong Yu's breakthrough to complete the blocking ......"

After a series of words, the main thing is to talk about a team that is closely united around Zhong Yu.

Jongwook still needs his own breakaway shot...... This is also a must, Zhong Yu's breakthrough score has become one of the most important scoring means for the Hornets now, as long as it is unswervingly executed, the Hornets will win the game, and the hope will increase a lot.

Of course, this requires Zhong Yu to consume physical strength to complete, but it doesn't matter, his physical consumption is also something that he is gradually familiar with.

In this game, he made up his mind to win the Cavaliers, not only to justify the Hornets, but also to prove to himself.

He's going to prove that the Hornets, even without Paul, is still a name that makes other teams fearful. Even without Paul, he can take the Hornets with him, and I can't say how much glory he will give the Hornets, but at least more than people think.

……

The second half of the game is on!

Heading into the second half with a 10-point gap, the Cavaliers are also a little anxious right now. They are anxious about whether they will let the Hornets on their body and temporarily wash away the humiliation of the previous three consecutive defeats.

So, James was in the locker room, although he didn't get angry, he also said a lot of words of encouragement to his teammates, hoping that they could cut down the Hornets in the second half.

Otherwise, what's going on? Other teams have come up to make a big profit when the Hornets don't have Paul, so why can't their own Cavaliers, who have been rejuvenated this season, still can't beat them?

Thinking of this, James's playing style is becoming more and more domineering.

On the first ball, he forced his way through the Hornets' defense, rose to the challenge in the cracks, and threw the basketball into the basket with his strong physical fitness and excellent bounce.

James relied on a layup to score two points and sound the horn for the second half of the game.

The ball returned to the Hornets, and Paco possessed the ball and passed the basketball to Jongwoo after half court, who forced his way in from James' side. West blocked Zhong Yu's side and blocked James, but when Zhong Yu wanted to go further, the big z defense on the inside came up, Zhong Yu put away the basketball for a while, and then kicked his legs forward, and the whole person fell to the ground again!

"Little Jump!" Most of the Cavaliers' team made judgments on Zhong Yu's move! It was determined that Jongwook would end the offense with a layup after the small jump regained his footing.

But Zhong Yu was unexpectedly attracted by his jumping steps in the group, and he threw the basketball high into the sky!

"Oops!" Many players of the Cavaliers wanted to retreat too late, and West just stepped into the interior like a wind, took the basketball in the sky at this moment, glided forward a meter or two, and then slammed the basketball into the basket!

West and Jongwook completed an aerial relay to give the Hornets a 3-pointer.

"Well done!" West came over with a smile on his face, and jumped up at the same time with Zhong Yu, slamming his chest in the sky, this ball, it was worth it.

"Although, it doesn't seem to be as comfortable as Chris...... But it's definitely a good pass. West said.

Zhong Yu smiled, his passing, of course, was far worse than Paul's.

The offense and defense were converted, and the ball was returned to the Cavaliers. James controlled the ball directly across the halfcourt, then stood outside the three-point line, controlled the ball with his right hand, and looked down at Peja to judge where Peja's defense might be wrong.

Then, James used a change of direction and then went straight inside the Hornets, and before the inside player came up to block him, he ended the offense with a difficult one-handed shot.

The ball is back to the Hornets, and Jongwook takes the success or failure of this ball very seriously.

After all, now the two sides have entered the state of you get a point and I get a point, once the Hornets players take the lead in showing their cowardice, what awaits them may be the morale of the Cavaliers after that, and they will score under the leadership of James, so that the Hornets' upward trend in this game will be reduced.

The ball came to Jongwook's hands, and he was still in possession.

However, this time his shot was relatively simple and rough, he used a quick lateral movement of the ball, moved to a 45-degree angle, then put away the basketball, and moved sideways to his right! Immediately afterwards, he quickly balanced his body, his left hand was the forehand, and his right hand exerted force, and the basketball was directly pushed out by Zhong Yu.

"Bang! Swish! The basketball smacked on the rebound, then shot ferociously into the net, and soon after, the Hornets scored three points after Jongwook's score.

Zhong Yu hit another three-pointer, and the total score of this game has risen to 30 points! Chances are, he's going to set a record today that hasn't been seen all along.

At this time, Zhong Yu can be said to have gone crazy!

The situation of the team today, he has to step up.

Whether it's for himself or for the team, he'll have to step up and help the Hornets withstand the Cavaliers' offense with a crazy scoring and breakaway draw to get a hard-fought victory.

The current Hornets are on the cusp of public opinion, and they really need a victory.

Then, the Cavaliers finally missed a jump shot, and the Hornets grabbed the rebound, and then missed, grabbed the rebound and attacked it twice...... Missed again!

The Cavaliers' shot also missed!

Five minutes into the second half, the score was 56-47, and the Hornets still led the Cavaliers by nine points.

The most strange thing is that the two teams that had been flowering in a row before had a lower and lower jump shooting percentage after that, and it was getting lower and lower, to an indescribably low point.

Seeing this hit rate, Scott called a timeout with a frown. Although the shooting percentages of both sides are not too high now, they also need to adjust it, otherwise the situation will be different when the Cavaliers adjust first.

As soon as he returned to the bench, Zhong Yu was wiping his sweat, but during the iron time just now, he seized the time to get some rest. Now Zhong Yu is not only able to seize the slightest time to rest on the bench, but even in the court, he can take advantage of the gap between offense and defense to rest.

Still, he was sweating profusely.
