Chapter 290: Blocking Maddie and Whistle Dunk

At the end of the first half, the game between the Hornets and the Rockets attracted extensive discussion from all sides.

"This Zhong Yu's comeback match shattered rumors about his bone cancer, torn meniscus and the like, and this time he also proved that he will not fall with the suspicion of some people."

"Yao Ming was too fierce today, with 16 points and 7 rebounds in the half, and also caused 4 fouls from Chandler. Of course, Zhong Yu is also fierce...... However, compared to Yao Ming, his fierceness is a little bland. ”

"This game, from the current point of view, is still very good."

"However, I don't think the Rockets can beat the Hornets...... The backcourt is really much better than the Rockets. The queen bee can blow up the king of streetballs...... From the current point of view, Battier can't prevent Zhong Yu at all. ”

……

Discussions erupted, and in this case, the second half of the game between the two teams began.

In the game, Chandler was temporarily unavailable, and in order to protect him, Chandler has committed 4 fouls so far...... Two more fouls and he's going to have to leave.

The game had just begun, and Battier of the Rockets received a pass from the outside and hit a three-pointer, and then, Maddy also pulled out and shot the first shot of the game.

Maddy's first-half performance was a disaster — he shot seven in the first half, missed one, and only relied on free throws to score five points in the entire first half. Now, he's finally hitting his first three-pointer of the game, and it's his usual pull-up jumper.

Maddie's pull-up jump shot has its own characteristics, his waist is very straight, in the sky, the parabola is a little straight after the basketball flies out, and the progress is often crisp and neat.

The Rockets hit two three-pointers in a row, and seeing that the score began to be pulled back, on the Hornets' side, Jongwook and Battier were entangled. Battier's Zhong Yu, who defends without the ball, does have his own set of methods, although Zhong Yu is not guarded by him to the extent that it is difficult to move an inch, but indeed, now Paul can't easily pass the ball to him.

Battier defends smartly and always looks easy to steal the passes Paul gives him.

Zhong Yu could only run without the ball, trying to get past the hateful birdman...... It's just that he has just started, and Battier is chasing after him again.

However, as soon as he came to the inside, Paul began to break through, and when Zhong Yu came to the bottom line, Zhong Yu also broke through into the free throw line. At this time, Battier was about to catch up, but was blocked by Chandler, and when he resurfaced, Paul's pass had already come to Jongwook's hands.

After Jongwook received the pass, Battier also chased after him, but after Jongwook jumped up, his body was already leaning back.

He was in the bottom corner at this time, and such a step-back jumper was indeed difficult for many players, but Zhong Yu easily shot a hollow shot.

He gave himself a two-pointer in the second half.

To get rid of Battier's defense, Jongwook needs more running.

Next, the Rockets will focus on Yao Ming...... Without Chandler's defense, Yao Ming's actions on the inside line are much more convenient. Although Curt. Thomas has many years of experience in the league, but he still struggles to deal with people like Yao Ming.

Yao Ming forced Thomas twice in a row to score four points, and this time, the Rockets dominated Yao Ming on the inside.

Zhong Yu entered the inside line, and when Yao Ming was dribbling, he tried to steal, Yao Ming's center of gravity was too high, and the dribble always suffered a little. However, he immediately put away the basketball and did not let Zhong Yu steal, but passed the ball to Battier, who was ambushed on the outside, and Battier hit a three-point shot.

The ball was entirely Jongwook's responsibility, and he ventured in to steal Yao Ming, only to have Battier let go.

Battier hit a three-pointer and the Rockets pulled a three-pointer back, and the Hornets' lead was a little dangerous.

Next, Jongwook gave Paul a pick-and-roll, and Paul grabbed an open gap and shot a three-pointer...... This time he was more decisive, the basketball was not covered, and it was shot into the basket!

The Hornets responded with a three-pointer, but Yao hit another two-pointer inside......

Something was wrong, of course, coming back at halftime, Jongwook was on the inside, with a reverse run, leaving a little distance from Battier, just receiving a pass from Paul.

Then, Jongwook controlled the ball and retreated outside the three-point line, and in his third zone, he shot a three-pointer.

Jongwook's three-point shot was fast, and it was also a back, just pinching time and distance, and threw the basketball out before Battier could catch up. The ball, with a high parabola, finally bounced off the rebound and into the basket, and the Hornets responded with a three-pointer.

After a few balls, the Hornets regained their lead, but during the official timeout, Scott frowned and said, "Tyson (Chandler), you can go up later, defend Yao!" ”

"Me?" Chandler was a little weird: "But, sir, I've got four fouls on me now...... I'll probably be off the pitch soon. ”

"It's okay," Scott said...... You just try to control yourself. ”

What kind of medicine is sold in Scott's hoist, but then, after the Hornets offense has Chandler, it does go a lot smoother.

Another offense, with the Hornets now leading the Rockets by eight points, and the ball is once again in Jongwook's hands. Now, Battier is temporarily resting off the court, and it is Maddie who is defending Zhongyu, Maddie has just suffered Zhongyu's loss, and now he is defending very seriously.

When Maddie got serious, there weren't many people in the league who could run rampant on his defense.

Zhong Yu continued to dribble with his crotch, and then used his shoulder to push against him, using force...... I can't help but sigh that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Maddie's strength still has to surpass herself for the time being.

Zhong Yu immediately dribbled the ball under his crotch and took a step back. It's just that Maddie just caught up, and Zhong Yu began to break through again, and he also used a method that had just broken through Maddie, so he repeated the trick. This time, Maddie was not fooled and quickly blocked Zhong Yu, but Zhong Yu changed his tricks more.

With his right foot as the axis, he immediately controlled the ball and spun it, and then increased to maximum speed. This rotation of Zhong Yu, coupled with acceleration, has come to the place of the middle line, facing Yao Ming.

At this time, Yao Ming happened to be entangled with Chandler, and he could already detain Yao Ming...... However, on the one hand, after all, he and Yao Ming have been old acquaintances for many years, and many other players have a hobby of Yan Kou Yao Ming, but Zhong Yu doesn't want to do that...... cough, on the other hand, he estimated that he was not strong enough, but he would be capped by Yao Ming.

So, Zhong Yu chose a very ordinary two-handed basket. Putting the basketball in the hoop, Jongwook scored two more points to stretch the gap between the two sides to 10 points.

Maddie defends Jongwook with similar effect to Battier...... Although he was not a small restriction, Jongwook was still able to find a way to score.

Of course, in this section of the game, Zhong Yu took a long break in between, and after he returned to the court this time, he also felt that he needed to think about more things. There are 82 games in a regular season, and it is impossible to exhaust yourself with all your strength in every game, but the Hornets in this section did not have too much confusion because of Zhong Yu's departure.

Because, the Rockets' shooting percentage today is really not high, and although Chandler returned to the court with 4 fouls on his back, he was not fouled by Yao Ming again.

With three minutes left in the quarter, the Hornets now lead the Rockets by six points and the ball is in the hands of the Rockets.

Maddie only hit one shot in the game and has scored nine points so far, and now he has received another pass and made a pull-up jumper! Maddie is not as paranoid as Kobe Bryant, he doesn't have a feel and always wants to hit his hand with a constant hitting iron...... Maddie's shooting was sensible most of the time.

This ball, he also brewed for a while, but he knew the cup just after the jump shot.

Because Zhong Yu jumped up in his most uncomfortable position all of a sudden, and then, with his right hand stretched high, he slapped his shot down......

"Wow!" The audience was amazed! Maddie is covered by Zhong Yu! His shot was covered by Zhong Yu!

The basketball was quickly picked up by Paul, and Maddie's face didn't change much, but anger also rose in his heart, Zhong Yu's cap was indeed too crisp!

"Good shot!" Sun Zhengping in the studio also shouted: "Zhong Yu gave Maddie a cap!" This ball, his timing, is really good. ”

The Hornets quickly launched a counterattack, Paul went down, Battier caught up, and the street ball king followed, but Jongwook quickly returned to beyond the three-point line.

Then, he catches the ball and is a jumper!

"Be careful!" The voices of some fans came out quickly, because Maddie chased after him from behind at this time...... It seems that it is very likely to cover Zhong Yu's shot directly from behind!

Maddie's face was hideous, he was going to cover Zhong Yu with this ball, but he was just ......

"Damn it!" Maddie found that he was still one step behind, and Jongwook used a forward jumper, and if he went down with his hand, it would only cause a foul...... So, Maddie could only reluctantly put away his hand......

Then, Jongwook's jump shot hits!

It's three points again.

The Hornets have a nine-point lead.

With 11 seconds left in the game, Zhong Yu received a pass from Paul, and with the help of West's blocking, he went all the way down!

Once Zhong Yu's speed is fully activated, Team Rocket really won't be able to keep up with him for the time being.

He increased his speed, put away the basketball, and crossed Landry, the last barrier on the inside. Landry's defense is actually not bad, but Zhong Yu is too fast, directly past him, and then Zhong Yu jumps, Landry has no time to defend.

Zhong Yu came to the basket, the deepest place, and Yao Ming also made a layup to block it.

However, he once again showed his super strong ability to stay in the air, he staggered Yao Ming in the sky, floated to the other side of the basket, and then, picked up his right hand!

"Boom!" With his right hand, he smashed the basketball into the basket!

Jongwook got two more points! In the final moments of the third quarter, he used this dunk to stretch the score to 12 points!

The Hornets went into the final quarter with a 12-point lead.
