The first win of the playoffs was taken by the Hornets!

This is actually the result of many people's imagination, and it is generally believed that the Hornets should be able to beat the Jazz, which is not much to question.

This first game victory, however, feels a little unsuitable for one's own ideas.

Mostly because the Hornets' victory was not enough to destroy the withering and decaying.

They also went through a lot of setbacks in the middle, if it weren't for the 23 points contributed by Zhong Yu and Paul in the fourth quarter, the Hornets would probably have collapsed in today's game.

The Hornets weren't as strong as everyone thought they were, at least in this game.

Of course, this is the conclusion that everyone draws from one game, and it does not represent everything.

But at least it proves that many people don't think the Hornets played too well in this game.

Most people generally believe that this game was won by Zhong Yu and Paul. In today's game, the Hornets had too many shots, and there were serious problems.

The Jazz's defense is also the reason why they don't shoot well from the field right now.

Today, even Zhong Yu, who scored the highest score today, scored 36 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The stats are very luxurious, his shooting percentage reached 48.3%, which is not bad for other players, but for Zhong Yu, the shooting rate is a bit low.

After all, he shot more than 50 percent from three-point range and 60 percent from two-point range in the regular season.

Of course. This situation, on the other hand, means that the Hornets had a bit of a twist and turn in today's game, also because the Hornets' shooting percentage is not too high, and if they can maintain their previous shooting percentage, it should be no problem to win against the Jazz.

Statistically, the Hornets' main problem today is still in the shooting percentage.

But in the last section. Paul and Jongwook combined for 23 points to overtake the score, and finally ended the game with a score of 106-103.

Paul finished with 28 points and 11 assists, and the numbers were also very luxurious. The Hornets' backcourt twin stars once again shined with their own unique brilliance.

…………

However, after the match, the reporters on the scene did not give Zhong Yu and Paul enough treatment as winners. On the contrary, the questions they ask are very poignant.

"Chris...... In this game, although the final victory was won, everyone can see that the players did not play smoothly enough, what do you think is the reason for this? ”

Paul was asked a difficult question.

"It probably has something to do with our condition, that's what happens on the basketball court, and you can't expect to have an enviable hand every day." Paul replied, "We may not be in shape today, but I believe it won't be long before we get better." ”

The reporter then asked: "What is the reason for the low hit rate of the guys?" ”

"As I said, it has to do with our state." Paul said, "We need to find out why. Find your weaknesses and strengths and not lose to your opponent in the next game. ”

The reporter pointed the finger at Zhong Yu: "Do you agree with what Chris said about the state?" ”

"I couldn't agree more." "We just need to adjust our condition, it's not a big deal...... At least we got the final victory today. I'm sure we'll be able to keep winning. ”

Zhong Yu's words got more questions from reporters:

The meaning of this sentence. Do you think the Hornets can beat the Jazz? Don't give them a chance. ”

Journalists are starting to get to the bottom of their game, and that's part of their fun. …,

"That should be fine...... As long as we play well in the next games. Unexpectedly, Zhong Yu made such a statement.

The reporters got another shocking news from Zhong Yu, it turned out that Zhong Yu was so confident...... Of course, judging from their screenshots, Zhong Yu is very arrogant. There's news to do!

The journalists rejoiced.

Someone immediately asked: "Do you think that beating the Jazz is a completely predetermined thing, and there is no possibility of a mistake?" ”

Zhong Yu said at this time: "This can't be said like that, the Jazz are a great team, I respect them, and I think they are also very strong. I'm just saying that if nothing else, our team is united and it is possible to beat any opponent! ”

This last sentence choked the reporters.

They just said it was possible, and they went back to everything......

This Zhong Yu, when he saw that his tone was wrong, immediately turned his head, which was really a headache.

…………

At the end of the press conference, Paul, who was going back to the locker room, chatted for a while, and Paul said, "That was just said...... Be careful, these reporters are very cunning, they can grasp any bit of talk to choreograph, let alone have such a big handle? ”

Zhong Yu frowned and said, "Actually, at the beginning, I wanted to directly say that we will definitely be able to defeat the Jazz team......"

Paul was taken aback: "I can't say much about this, I've been in the NBA for so long, and I think you know it, you can't just say these things." ”

Zhong Yu nodded: "What I was thinking at the time was, I said that, on the one hand, I don't believe that we can't even beat the Jazz. Admit that, right? With that, he glanced at Paul.

"Of course...... We're going to beat the Jazz, we're going to have to beat the Jazz. "It's true that both in terms of the playoff journey and personal factors, the Hornets have to beat the Jazz to advance.

Zhong Yu nodded and said, "That's right!" So, since we're all so sure...... Why don't you say that...... We can just beat this team, we can make them walk around without eating. So I can say that. On the other hand, after I said that. Don't give anyone else a way out...... We can only defeat our opponents except to defeat them, otherwise we will be ridiculed by the entire league. ”

Paul looked at him more, "I didn't expect you to think so much." ”

"Of course!" Zhong Yu raised his head: "I am always such a player who thinks deeply and widely. With these two reasons, I will say so...... But then I thought about it, it really hurt the face of the Jazz players, and if they wanted to fight us to the death, then we would be almost exhausted after beating them. ”

Paul snorted, "That's right...... If their resistance is more meager, the better. ”

At this time, a shout to Zhong Yu came from the front: "Zhong Yu, brother!" ”

Zhong Yu raised his head and looked over. Seeing Zhong Rui and Scarlett, he waved at the two of them.

"Let's go first!" Paul said to Chung-wook, "I can't ruin your lives. ”

Paul and Zhong Rui also said hello, and Zhong Rui and him are now familiar with each other. Zhong Yu reminded beside him: "Chris Ling, don't beat my sister's idea." ”

"What nonsense......" Zhong Rui punched Zhong Yu in the chest.

Zhong Yu smiled at the moment, and the two women left.

"Tonight's game was really thrilling...... If it weren't for the play of the last Ling and Paul. It's really possible to lose! Zhong Rui said: "In the end, it was very thrilling. ”

Scarlett also said: "Although I know that you will definitely win in the end, it is too thrilling to win. ”…,

Zhong Yu smiled: "Don't worry too much, I don't believe that our lineup can't do a jazz." Where are you going to play tomorrow? ”

"I'm going to go to the beach." Scarlett said.

Zhong Yu frowned and said, "I'm really convinced of the two of you." One in Shanghai and one in Los Angeles...... Why do you go to the beach in New Orleans when you can see the sea casually? ”

"I don't understand this!" Zhong Rui said: "There are no two seas in the world that are exactly the same, not to mention, we still have to eat crayfish by the sea. ”

Zhong Yu nodded: "Then be careful, don't be cut by shrimp, I also learned it for a while before I ate it." It's a shame that I still have to train tomorrow and can't accompany you. ”

"It's still important for your career...... Take a championship this season and show me. Zhong Rui said: "That's it......"

"Championship ......" Zhong Yu smashed the taste of the word in his heart and rubbed Zhong Rui's head. He stopped talking.

…………

The first game between the Hornets and the Jazz was the first to decide the winner in this year's playoffs.

The Hornets unsurprisingly beat the Jazz, but the process was a little twisty, which did attract a lot of attention.

"In this game, the Hornets really didn't play well enough. Not enough, in the final moments of the game, Zhong Yu and Paul still stepped up. That's enough. "That's the opinion of some Hornets fans, who are still more concerned about the final win of the game, as for the danger that the Hornets will encounter in the middle...... At least they won in the end, didn't they?

So, as long as you win, of course it is necessary to summarize.

There are also some more discordant voices -

"The Hornets didn't show the same level of fighting that they did in the regular season. If it weren't for the play of Zhongyu and Paul in the last moments, they would have lost this game to the Jazz...... This season, if this team can win the championship, I don't believe it in the first place! ”

There is some truth to these voices, the championship is a thorny road, and if the Hornets have been so tough against the Jazz, the situation is still a little unoptimistic.

"The game between the Hornets and the Jazz, although there are some objective reasons, they do expose a lot of problems, and they still have to start by solving their own problems, otherwise the future of the next playoffs is uncertain, and it is very likely to fall halfway."

There was a lot of voice, and there was a lot of discussion.

That night, Zhong Yu wrote on Weibo: "Tonight's game, thank you to all friends for their support, we will continue to work hard." ”

This Weibo has been retweeted a lot and commented on a lot.

Most people still affirmed him.

"The performance of Zhong Yu and Paul in the last minute of the game is still worthy of recognition. They really took on the task of being superstars in the team. They were the key contributors to the win of the game and saved the team when it mattered most. That's what the Hornets' backcourt twins are all about, and they're always able to contribute enough to the team when the team is in critical condition. ”

"Jongwook and Paul are completely commendable, they did what they could, even if their shooting percentage wasn't too high today, but it was enough. What could be more convincing than victory? ”

…………

Comments poured in, and the game really became the talk of many people.

Of course, the second battle, the matchup between the Hornets and the Jazz, also got a lot of attention.

Will the Hornets be able to extend their win in this game? If they can continue, will they barely win at the last minute like in the last game, or will they be able to directly destroy each other? …,

Or in the next game of the Jazz, turn over and kill the Hornets?

It's all unknown.

Moreover, after the last game, the Hornets' leading player Zhong Yu also said that as long as they play normally, they should be able to kill the Jazz, can what he said come true?

These became the suspense before the start of the second game.

It's going to be a very good fight, no doubt about it.

Before the game began, the Hornets made some new arrangements.

"In the next game, we may have to face the opponent's strict defense." "We're still going to have a lot of shooting percentage, so we're going to have to adjust our play, go more from the outside, make fewer direct jumpers, give more basketball to the interior, and break more," Scott said. ”

Use a breakthrough to open the blockade, this is Scott's guiding ideology for everyone.

When the shooting rate is not high, it has been consumed in the outside jump shot, which is really not very reliable.

Of course, if the shooting percentage is relatively high, then you can also make an outside jumper, which depends on the specific situation of both teams at that time.

"Victory!" The Hornets players stacked their right hands together and threw them away, and the sound rang out loud throughout the arena.

They have to win this game.

It was in this situation that the second match began, and in this game, both sides still lined up the lineups from the previous game.

More than 20,000 spectators were still crowded into the stadium.

Uniformly wearing a white home T-shirt with a ferocious Ban Hornet on his chest, all cheering for the Hornets.

They could be the second most desperate Hornets player to win after the Hornets.

They watched this game with a lot of expectations.

The cheers of the fans almost drowned out the arena.

Of course, Zhong Rui and Scarlett also sat in the front row, and they were able to watch Zhong Yu's game up close.

Players from both teams came on the pitch one after another, ready to jump the ball. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
