The 3-1 overall score drove the Jazz to the edge of a cliff.

After that, there is an abyss that shatters people's bones.

The Jazz are hardly daring to win the series this time, all they want is to try to win one or two games and save a little face.

The Hornets beat them so badly, and two of those devastating victories left them powerless.

At this point, it was almost impossible to win.

On the plane back to New Orleans, Jongwook was still asleep.

“…… Why is your brother sleeping again? Chandler looked at Zhong Yu, who was sleeping soundly, and said with a little confusion and some concern, "The last time he slept like this, the Hornets lost to the Jazz away. ”

Zhong Rui glanced at Zhong Yu: "It shouldn't be that serious, he should be able to play well in the future." ”

…………

After returning to New Orleans, the team welcomed some fans who picked up the airport, and all kinds of praise banners and slogans made Zhong Yu feel a little embarrassed.

These fans are really polite.

Of course, in the eyes of the fans, it is completely necessary to make these things.

Since last season, the Hornets have embarked on a meteoric rise.

Last season was one of the closest the Hornets came to a championship, and they were swept out of the playoffs after losing to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

But for the Hornets, who have been slumping in recent years, this is a result. It's already very good.

And this year, the Hornets are even more ferocious.

They went on to win the regular season title this season and have been doing very well so far in the playoffs.

The 3-1 score announced the death sentence of the Jazz in advance, and the Jazz could not really threaten the Hornets next. For the Hornets. They can already prepare for the second round of the playoffs in advance, and even the Western Conference Finals in advance!

After all, with the current strength of the Hornets, it is really not difficult to beat most opponents in the West.

This season. The Hornets faced the league's strongest teams — the Celtics, Lakers, Cavaliers, Magic, Spurs, Mavericks, and more — with almost no defeat.

Although the regular season is often not considered a real game by some experienced veteran players, they will even let the regular season go unchecked.

But when it comes to beating these teams. Opponents are often at the peak of their momentum.

But the Hornets still swept away these teams one by one and then took the top spot in the league.

Fans have too many reasons to believe that this season will be the closest they can get to a championship, and that the Hornets will have a good chance of charging for the place that represents the league's highest glory.

…………

Game 5 between the Hornets and Jazz kicked off.

On this day, more than 20,000 fans came in the home stadium of the Hornets.

Be booked up!

From the direction of the court, if you look around, you will see a patch of white one after another. It's like a huge ocean, suffocating. This ocean surrounded the Hornets, giving them an invisible sense of pressure.

Indeed, the Hornets at this time were really embarrassed to lose.

Also, as long as they win the game. The Jazz are leaving the playoffs this season and ending their journey early.

The Hornets will also be going to march on their laurels to meet their next opponent.

But if this game is not won, the Jazz will be on home next, and it is very likely that the Jazz will take advantage of the Hornets' loss in this game and morale is low. Suddenly powerless, win another game.

At that time, the score between the two sides became 3-3, and it was not a matter of saving the face of the Jazz...... It's a matter of the Jazz going to complete the comeback and kill the Hornets outright. …,

So, this game is also a lot of pressure for the Hornets.

"Come on!"

The five players folded their hands together, and then shook them off together, and the sound of 'come on' made the whole stadium tremble slightly.

The morale of the Hornets has also been boosted to its peak.

This kind of ritual, which may seem redundant to some, is really helpful in raising the morale of the team.

The Hornets may even rely on this ceremony to directly kill the Jazz and advance to the second round!

The first ball, the jump ball, was jumped away by the Hornets.

"Take the first ball!"

The shouts of the audience, like an alarm clock tightening in their ears, made the Hornets fans even more excited and waiting.

Chandler quickly ran to the inside post, West came to pick up near 17 feet, Peja was on the right wing of the three-point line, Chung Woo was on the left wing, and Paul was on top of the arc.

This is also the basic tactical setup of the Hornets.

The game has just begun, Brewer has already posted it like crazy, and today he really didn't dare to relax Zhong Yu in the slightest, he panted and stuck to Zhong Yu's side.

"Ahem...... Can you not stick so tightly. Zhong Yu said: "The breath from your mouth is all sprayed on my nose, this smell is not very good." ”

Zhong Yu's casual words made Brewer's face turn the color of pig liver, and anyone would be very embarrassed to be said by someone else.

Seeing Brewer's expression, Zhong Yu couldn't care about any bright and upright questions, he immediately ran up, ran to the bottom line, and then saw Brewer still follow.

So Jongwook took advantage of Chandler's cover and immediately ran out of an empty seat.

Zhong Yu ran directly to the bottom corner of the three-point line, Brewer couldn't keep up for a while, and Collins didn't know if he should go up to make up for Zhong Yu...... There's no way he's going to let Chandler go.

His hesitation was enough, Paul was originally on the outside leisurely control the ball, saw Zhong Yu run out of the point guard, his right hand shook, and the basketball appeared in his hand accurately.

After receiving the pass, Zhong Yu did not hesitate. Direct jump shot.

No one could have had time to block him, not even interfere with him.

The moment Zhong Yu got up, the hands of the fans in the stadium were already clenched into fists and raised to their ears, and then, when they saw Zhong Yu's shot crashing into the net in a graceful arc, they all stood up. Hands turned into waves of excitement.

"Assassin! Assassin! Assassin! The audience here shouted Zhong Yu's nickname, and the audience over there shouted Zhong Yu's name: "Zhong Yu! Zhong Yu! ”

The atmosphere was introduced by a three-pointer from Zhong Yu!

The Hornets also opened the prelude to the battle of Tianwang Mountain with this jumper 3-0.

Brewer was a little further away from Jongwook this time, and Delon passed the basketball to him. Brewer forced his way through, and Zhong Yu held him down. Brewer then leaned his back against Jongwook for a turnaround jumper. But Zhong Yu stubbornly resisted him, opened his hands, and when he just turned around and was about to jump shot, he saw Zhong Yu block it in advance.

In order to avoid the tragedy of being blocked by Zhong Yu, Brewer could only change the jump shot to a pass, and the basketball passed to Delong, who attacked by himself, and pulled a few consecutive shakes very beautifully, pulled to the bottom line, and hit a jumper at a 45-degree angle.

The basketball is back in the hands of the Hornets.

"My mouth ...... Does it really taste? Brewer asked, a little cautiously.

Zhong Yu held back a smile and said, "It's really a little." But I think it's normal, you can try Chinese medicine treatment in this regard, it's not like I'm bragging about my country, but it does work. ”

"That's right......," Brewer said, even thoughtfully, "thank you." ”…,

"No thanks......"

While the two were talking, Paul disrupted the Jazz's defensive line with the ball on the perimeter. After West and Chandler swapped places with each other on the inside, Chandler sprinted forward!

And Paul's pass had just flown into the sky, and this time Chandler ran two steps and grabbed it in his hand and then turned around in the air, waiting for the basket, it was a thunderbolt like a thunderbolt on a sunny day!

"Boom!"

The sound of the dunk reached everyone's ears, and they felt very shocked.

And the fans at the scene. Stand up and cheer again!

Chandler's dunk suddenly focused the momentum and morale on the side of the Hornets, who gained tremendous momentum just after the opening.

And they also started with a 5-2 run.

The game then began, when Delong broke through and was accidentally caught by Zhong Yu and Paul, and then Zhong Yu dragged the basketball from his hand, the whole court instantly boiled!

"Empty pick-up! Empty connection! The audience shouted the slogan.

They shouted a little loudly.

At the same time, the momentum of the entire arena was also ignited.

Waiting for an explosion.

Paul and Zhong Yu made a look, the two of them just stealed, Zhong Yu slapped the basketball in front of him, and then the person chased after him, chased two steps to catch the basketball, and pushed it forward, at this time Zhong Yu had already passed half the court, and Paul also ran over.

The Jazz players also caught up, Brewer chased Zhong Yu, and when he saw that he was about to catch up, Zhong Yu passed the basketball to Paul, and Brewer could only look away.

"Empty pick-up! Empty connection! The heckling grew louder and louder, and Paul saw Brewer come up, and Zhong Yu stepped into the three-point line with both feet and took a step forward, and he threw the basketball high into the sky!

Zhong Yu kicked his right leg on the ground fiercely, and the whole person rose into the sky like a cannonball, received Paul's pass on the left side of the basket, and continued to glide forward!

Then!

"Boom!"

The basket once again endured the abuse of the Hornets, making an overwhelmingly staggering sound, and Jongwook hit another dunk, and the sound of the whole court's 'empty catch' immediately became an 'assassin'.

"Assassin! Assassin! Assassin! ”

Zhong Yu's body was still flying forward fiercely, he grabbed the basket to avoid falling down, but the ball was so exciting that as soon as he landed, he pulled the front of his jersey fiercely and roared out.

This roar, connected with the cries of the fans in the entire arena, almost drowned all the guys of the Jazz team in the sea of this arena!
