Chapter 360: Repel the Lakers Again!
The Zen master felt a deep hatred for Zhong Yu's performance.
Of course, this is also because he and Zhong Yu are currently hostile to each other...... If Zhong Yu was his player, he would definitely not have this nasty feeling, but would feel that Zhong Yu's performance was particularly good.
Now, the score is 73-71 and the Hornets are still two points behind.
The Lakers started attacking again, Zhong Yu just reached a 2+1, and now the Lakers are also gearing up to pull this score back.
The Hornets are a very difficult opponent to play against and they will need a lot of hard work to beat this team.
Especially Zhong Yu and Paul among them, the presence of these two people is the biggest threat to the Lakers.
"Defend! Defend! Defend! The fans in the stadium were already shouting wildly, and this time, they were going to watch the Hornets defend the Lakers.
The defensive lineup developed by the Hornets is still relatively decent, and the Hornets have been using a mixed defense, which can withstand most of the opponent's offense.
Fisher controlled the ball and advanced to the front court, and then immediately began to pass, the pass was passed to the inside, and the ball came to Kobe's hands, and Kobe Bryant began to face Zhong Yu after receiving the ball.
Zhong Yu opened his hands to resist Kobe, Kobe turned twice, trying to turn away from Zhong Yu's defense, but when he shot, he was accidentally interfered with by Zhong Yu.
Although Zhong Yu did not touch the basketball he threw again, Zhong Yu's right hand seriously polluted his vision, and the basketball smacked high above the basket and then bounced out.
Chandler was under the rebound. It was easy to catch the rebound, and he threw it to Paul as the Hornets regrouped their offense.
Zhong Yu ran without the ball and rushed into the inside line.
Zhong Yu's speed is very fast, and Kobe Bryant also feels very pressured to follow Zhong Yu's side, he feels that this kid doesn't know when he suddenly has his current ability.
He had been following Zhong Yu all the time, but Zhong Yu seemed to be just waiting for him on purpose.
Really. When he came to the inside line, Zhong Yu suddenly took two big steps forward, and waited for Kobe Bryant to react. Zhong Yu suddenly came to a reverse run, and Kobe, who had just begun to accelerate and rush forward, did not expect Zhong Yu to suddenly come to such a reverse run.
Kobe Bryant was also a little scrambling, but when he wanted to hurry back to catch up with Jongwook. Zhong Yu suddenly flew back and retreated outside the three-point line.
"Catch!" Paul yelled, and then the basketball in his right hand bounced off and suddenly appeared in Zhongyu's hand in the bottom corner.
Zhong Yu received the pass, of course, he was not welcome, at this time, the Lakers' more tragic thing was that it was only the old fish Fisher who came up to defend Zhong Yu......
Fisher came up to block it, and he was also hard-headed, and then, he was very tragic...... After all, Zhong Yu is 15CM taller than him, Zhong Yu's jump shot. Basically already ignored this guy.
"Huh!" Jump shot hit!
73-74, after Zhong Yu just came on the court, he used a 2+1, plus the current three-point shot, and scored six points in a row...... Directly overtook the score!
"Great! We're overtaken! ”
this game. Although many people felt that the Lakers might not be able to resist the vicious Hornets now, the game is still behind when the game is now.
But such a deficit is very short, Zhong Yu has just played for a little time, and he directly overtook the Lakers with six points in a row!
Kobe Bryant's face was also gloomy, and Jongwook's score was difficult to defend himself. But he still consciously put these responsibilities on himself.
The game continued, the Lakers had just been overtaken, and this one ball wanted to reorganize the offense, let alone regain the overtake, at least not to be pulled away by the Hornets. …,
Fisher dropped the ball to Odom, and Odom then passed the ball to Gasol on the inside, Gasol immediately started to jump after receiving the basketball, and the mid-range shot missed, Zhongyu was just near the inside, and after he rushed in, he grabbed the rebound in front of the opponent.
Jong-wook's stats also added a rebound.
After receiving the rebound, Zhong Yu originally wanted to directly control the ball through the half court and organize the Hornets to attack, but after all, he remembered that the current Hornets are different from when Paul was not there before, and the current Hornets have the best point guard in the league.
So, Zhong Yu passed the basketball to Paul and let Paul dribble the ball through the half court. Paul controlled the ball and stood outside the three-point line, and Zhong Yu also came to his side, and Paul handed the basketball to Zhong Yu.
After Jongwook made a gesture, the Hornets players pulled away.
"Pull away?" Kobe Bryant glanced back at the current defensive situation of the Hornets, knowing that this group had pulled away, and estimated in his heart that Zhong Yu might be about to break through directly, at the moment, he lowered his center of gravity and opened his hands to focus on defending Zhong Yu's direct breakthrough.
Jongwook immediately began to break through to Kobe's left hand.
When his speed was at its highest, Kobe Bryant was a little difficult to deal with.
"Damn." Kobe Bryant was a little dazzled by Zhong Yu's speed, and muttered in his mouth, but at the same time, he was also taking half a step back, and the whole person blocked Zhong Yu again.
Zhong Yu used a crotch to change hands at this time, and the whole person stopped and retreated, standing outside the three-point line, and shot directly with a backward jumper!
The speed is fast, and it is a backward jumper, and Zhong Yu has already used the crotch just now to change hands, and the whole person has retreated, so Kobe Bryant has no way to block the ball at all, and can only pray that the ball will not fly into the basket more safely as Zhong Yu thought.
It's just that the reality exceeded Kobe's expectations, and Zhong Yu's basketball flew directly into the basket!
"Huh!"
Jumper hit.
Jongwook scored another three points!
77-73!
The Hornets overtook the Lakers by 4 points!
After Zhong Yu came on the court, he scored 9 points in a row to help the Hornets overtake the score.
The Lakers could call a timeout at this time, and the Hornets went on a 9-0 offensive wave, which was really bad for the Lakers.
The offense and defense were transformed, and the Lakers began to attack, and this time, the basketball came to Odom's hands, and Odom played the inside line and went all the way to the deepest place under the basket.
Chandler immediately gave Odom a foul, and the third quarter was about to end, and it was better to let the Lakers carry a little more to the fourth quarter.
Odom, who was standing at the free throw line, hit one of two free throws and scored one point.
The score is 77-74, and the Lakers now have their current three points left.
The Hornets are now back on offense, and at this point, Paul has the ball all the way to the perimeter, and the Lakers are desperate to defend the ball.
"Defend this ball!" The Lakers' Kobe Bryant was yelling loudly, and then, all the Lakers players were nervously standing inside.
Seeing this, Paul regained possession and exited the three-point line.
Paul controlled the ball and exited the three-point line, at this time Paul was already on the outside, holding the ball and delaying time, there were still 8 seconds left in the third quarter of the game, and he dragged it until the last 3 seconds of time, and then suddenly took a step forward with the ball!
After such a step, he immediately jumped to the shot!
Although there was still a defender in front of him, he didn't care, he shot from outside the arc of the three-point line, and the basketball still rushed into the net very wickedly within the moment the red light came on!
Paul hit a buzzer-kick 1...,
The score became 80-74!
The Hornets have outscored the Lakers by 6 points!
The crowd next to the stadium had regained their excitement, and everyone was shouting their own into the middle of the stadium.
"Well done! These Angelenos deserve to be treated like this! ”
"Keep scoring! Beat these guys! ”
The Hornets fans shouted louder and louder, and the Lakers players walked to the bench with gloomy faces.
The Hornets' backcourt combination is too much of a threat to them, and that's a view that most people already have in place by now.
Whether it's Jongwook or Paul, when either of these two starts to exert their power, the Lakers lack enough means to resist......
Zhong Yu's three-point shot and breakthrough almost became a nightmare for the Lakers!
Especially at the end of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant found that even he couldn't completely prevent this guy now.
…………
"Well done! That's it! We have to take advantage of the Lakers' mistakes, don't give them any other chances, and let them experience what the Hornets are and what is the number one in the league right now! Scott was also dancing with his hands and looking very excited.
The current league coach of the year is also starting to be selected, and although he won one last year, Scott wants to get another.
Now in the competition for the best coach, he is mainly competing with the Zen master, and now if he can see the Zen master deflated, Scott is still more happy.
"In the fourth quarter, we have to suppress the rhythm of the game, slow down the game, and every time we attack, we have to find the most suitable place for ourselves to start attacking, don't shoot randomly, run more, and pull the Lakers' defense more!" "When the Lakers are offensive, guard their individuals and suppress their breakaways with zone defense," Scott said. ”
…………
The game continues to start, and no matter what kind of tactics are arranged, such tactics will only be recognized by everyone if they really take effect on the battlefield.
The two teams resumed attacking each other.
This season, everyone has done statistics and come to the conclusion that the Hornets are the team in the league that is less likely to be overtaken by the opponent and then collapse when the score is leading.
Their lead is usually well maintained.
Even Paul was the same during the time they weren't with the Hornets.
And today's game between the Hornets and the Lakers just proved this, and the Hornets did not let the Lakers overtake in the fourth quarter of the game. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
